Porn star allegedly paid $130G for silence on Trump affair

    A former porn star was paid $130,000 by President Trump’s personal lawyer a month before the 2016 election — part of an agreement to keep her quiet about an extramarital affair she had with the President, according to a report Friday. Attorney Michael Cohen arranged the payment to X-rated actress Stephanie Clifford after her lawyer negotiated a nondisclosure agreement, the Wall Street Journal reported. Clifford, who made dozens of dirty movies under the name Stormy Daniels, told friends the encounter with Trump took place after they met at a July 2006 celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe, people familiar with the matter told the newspaper. Another porn star, Alana Evans, told the Daily Beast that Daniels had told her I ended up with Donald in his hotel room. Pic...

Teenage Emmanuel Macron wrote erotic novel about his relationship with Brigitte, new book claims

    A new biography of French first lady Brigitte Macron appears to have confirmed the existence of a long-rumoured erotic novel written by her husband about the early days of their romance, when she was his married teacher. The book says the text focused on Emmanuel Macron's controversial relationship with the woman who was his drama teacher before becoming his wife. Mr Macron’s youthful literary aspirations have already been well documented, but the new book, titled Brigitte Macron, l'affranchie (Brigitte Macron, Liberated), claims it has proof of the erotic fiction. It quotes a neighbour of his family in the town of Amiens, who was a typist by profession, who says that he approached her for help. I knew him from the neighbourhood and one day he asked me to type up ...

Rohingyas want their rights protected before going back

Historic moment for Saudi women who can seating stadiums and watch soccer in live

    Saudi women will for the first time be allowed to enter a sports stadium on Friday to watch a soccer match between two local teams though they will be segregated from the male only crowd with designated seating in the so-called family section. The move is Saudi Arabia's first social reform planned for this year granting women greater rights. The kingdom has also announced that starting in June, women will be allowed to drive, lifting the world's only ban on female drivers. To prepare for the change, the kingdom has designated family sections in the stands for women, separated by barriers from the male-only crowd. The stadiums have also been fitted with female prayer areas, restrooms and smoking areas, as well as separate entrances and parking lots for female spectat...

A Britain First supporter jailed who threatened to Asian Muslim restaurant owner

    A Britain First supporter who chased an Asian man around a shopping centre and shouted white power before driving at a curry house owner during a drunken rampage has been jailed for 33 weeks. Polish-born window fitter Marek Zakrocki told a police officer he was going to kill a Muslim before driving his van at 5mph in the direction of the owner of the Spicy Night restaurant in Alexandra Parade, Harrow, northwest London. The drunken episode, which also saw him assault his wife, took place on the first anniversary of the Brexit vote on 23 June last year. The 48-year-old, who was initially charged with attempted murder, pleaded guilty to dangerous driving, battering his wife and admitted drink-driving as he appeared at the Old Bailey via a video link from Wormwood Scru...

Trump visit in London would have provoked mass protests: London Mayor

Donald Trump has got the message that many Londoners are staunchly opposed to his policies and actions, mayor Sadiq Khan said after the US president cancelled his planned visit. The London mayor who has clashed with the president in the past said a visit by Mr Trump would have been met by mass peaceful protests. The US president confirmed on Twitter that he would not visit the UK to cut the ribbon on the new US embassy building in south London. Mr Trump said he thought the embassy’s move from Grosvenor Square in Mayfair to Nine Elms, south of the Thames, was a bad deal and the building was in an off location. But the prospect of demonstrations against his appearance could also have been a factor in the president’s decision to cancel the visit. Mr Khan said: It appears that Presi...

Facebook to emphasize friends, not news, in series of changes

    Facebook Inc on Thursday began to change the way it filters posts and videos on its centrepiece News Feed, the start of what Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said would be a series of changes in the design of the world’s largest social network. Zuckerberg, in a sweeping post on Facebook, said the company would change the filter for the News Feed to prioritize what friends and family share, while reducing the amount of non-advertising content from publishers and brands. Facebook, which owns four of the world’s most popular smartphone apps including Instagram, has for years prioritized material that its complex computer algorithms think people will engage with through comments, ‘likes’ or other ways of showing interest. Zuckerberg, the company’s 33-year-old co-founder...

Discrimination lawsuit by transgender teen against school: agreed to pay compensation $800,000

    A school has to pay almost a million dollars to settle a discrimination lawsuit filed by a transgender former pupil over allegations relating to his use of school toilets. Ash Whitaker claimed staff at Tremper High School in Kenosha, Wisconsin, monitored his use of the toilets and made him wear a special bracelet, singling him out from other students. The 18-year-old claimed the school, which has agreed to pay $800,000 (£590,000) in compensation, banned him from using the boys' toilets and insisted on using female pronouns to refer to him. Most of the cash settlement - $650,000 (£478,000) will go towards paying for Mr Whitaker's legal costs. The lawsuit alleged he would avoid using the toilet altogether to avoid being punished and suffered severe depression and an...
