Clandestine sex industry booms in Rohingya refugee camps

    As Rohingya women struggle to access even the very basics such as food and water in Bangladesh’s overcrowded camps, a flourishing sex trade offers cash in times of desperation. Four women entered the clean-swept mud hut, took off their black shawls and sat cross-legged on the floor. When asked if they sold sex, the women stirred uncomfortably and were silent. Later, after cups of tea, the question came up again. The women caught each other’s eyes. Slowly one of them walked across the room to shut the door, another blocked the window. Darkness fell in the small, humid hut and voices turned to whispers. If anyone finds out what we do, they will kill us,’ murmured 26-year-old Romida. More than 600,000 ethnic Rohingya, a Muslim minority in Myanmar, have fled attacks by the Mya...

While Baroness Jenkins admitted that men used to hit on her all the time when she first joined the Parliament as a secretary in 1970s, another Tory politician revealed than an MP stroked her neck while she drove her car. Labour MP Mary Creagh went on to reveal that she was sexually ...

If Parliament rejects Brexit deal then would back a second referendum as Sadiq Khan suggests

    Mayor of London Sadiq Khan Sadiq Khan has hinted he would back a second referendum on the UK's withdrawal from the EU if Parliament rejects a Brexit deal. Asked whether the UK required a second referendum on the deal, the London Mayor replied: Let’s wait and see what Parliament decides. Parliament must have a vote. He told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: I think it depends how Parliament votes surely if Parliament was to vote in favour of the deal our Government does then that makes redundant I suspect the referendum. But if Parliament was to reject any deal done by our Government then that opens up clearly what happens then. Either our Parliament is sovereign or it is not. If Parliament rejects the deal done by our Government then of course that raises a whole host of ques...

British diver three hour swim to escape from tiger shark and save his life after losing his boat

    John Craig A British diver has told how he was hunted by a shark for hours in a nerve-shredding ordeal after becoming stranded at sea. John Craig, 34, was stalked by a four-metre long tiger shark off the west coast of Australia after losing sight of his boat during a spear-fishing trip, reports said. He told the BBC: It was extremely close and curious and kept approaching me from different angles. It was trying to work out what I was and whether I could be on the menu. It was terrifying. I thought I was just going to be eaten out here in the middle of nowhere... this shark is just not leaving me alone. Mr Craig said he noticed the man-eating shark circling him after he surfaced in the middle of the ocean hours from land and began splashing for help. He used his spear gun t...

Shinzo Abe wins as 3rd term Japanese prime minister

    Japan’s leader has scored a major victory in national elections that returned his ruling coalition to power in decisive fashion. Japanese media said on Monday that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s Liberal Democratic Party and a small coalition partner had together secured at least 312 seats in the 465-seat lower house of parliament, passing the 310-barrier for a two-thirds majority. Four seats remained undecided. The victory boosts Mr Abe’s chances of winning another three-year term next September as leader of the Liberal Democratic Party. That could extend his premiership to 2021, giving him more time to try to win a reluctant public over to his longtime goal of revising Japan’s pacifist constitution. In the immediate term, the win likely means a continuation of the policies M...

Have you suffer restless leg syndrome

    There's probably at least one person in your office who taps their foot or shakes their leg incessantly while they work maybe it's you. Indeed, some people concentrate better when they're able to fidget. And while restless leg syndrome sounds like it could explain this type of behaviour, it's actually something completely different. Restless leg syndrome is a neurological condition, which means any sensations it causes happen in the brain more than in the legs themselves. And while it is defined by an irresistible urge to move the legs, according to Andy Berkowski, MD, a clinical assistant professor of neurology and sleep medicine at the University of Michigan Department of Neurology, it's not related to a general inability to sit still. If you're sitting at your desk for ...

Dubai Police test its flying motorbike

    Dubai Police, already home to Lamborghini patrol cars, self-driving robots and android officers, has decided to take to the skies in what can only be described as a flying motorbike. The vehicle, called the Scorpion and designed by Russian tech company Hoversurf, relies on four propellers to stay airborne, with the rider crouched precariously close to the exposed blades. Capable of 40 mph and a travel time of 25 minutes, the single-seat craft, which can carry 600 lbs, can also operate autonomously. After appearing at tech shows earlier this year, Dubai Police has decided to add one to its list of cutting-edge gadgets, all part of the force's "smart city" plans.According to the Facebook page of Hoversurf CEO Alexander Atamanov, the company has signed a memorandum of underst...

Self employed threatens to engulf the government’s UC reforms

    A hidden raid on the self-employed threatens to engulf the government’s Universal Credit reforms in further scandal, as hard-working traders see their incomes hit by hundreds of pounds a year. Critics have lined up to slam changes to in-work benefits like tax credits, which are now impacting some of the 800,000 strivers who, according to an influential think tank, will eventually be required to move onto the new system. As part of the move, little-known rules will hit sole traders, including window cleaners and hairdressers, to the tune of £1.5bn by 2022, figures from the Office for Budget Responsibility reveal, meaning it could cost some claimants as much as £1,500 a year. The flagship welfare reform has already been plagued by problems, including a perilous six week stal...
