Kollam temple: India fireworks blast kills at least 100

An explosion and blaze sparked by fireworks have killed at least 100 people at a Hindu temple in the Indian state of Kerala, police say.

The fireworks exploded as thousands of people had gathered to celebrate a local new year festival. More than 200 were injured.
A building at the temple then collapsed, causing many of the deaths.
An investigation has been ordered as officials say permits for the display had been refused after safety fears.

The explosion happened at about 03:30 (22:00 GMT Saturday), hours after the event started, in the coastal town of Paravur, in Kollam district.
There were scenes of chaos as emergency teams were slow in reaching the area, witnesses said. Emergency teams used bulldozers to clear the area looking for survivors.
A team of specialist doctors has been sent from Delhi amid reports of horrific burns suffered by those wounded. Several people were said to be in critical condition in hospitals.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who has flown to Kerala, said the incident was "heart-rending and shocking beyond words".
 

'Flying concrete pieces'

Many of the dead were charred beyond recognition and would have to be identified by DNA tests, Kerala police chief TP Senkumar said.
The fireworks had been stored ready for celebrations of a temple festival.

The local district magistrate had denied permission for the display to be held this year because of safety concerns and complaints from residents about the danger of these fireworks in the past.
A power outage hit the complex after the first explosion, further complicating rescue efforts, a witness said. Houses in the area of the temple were also said to have been badly damaged by the blast.
"Our house is unliveable. Everything is blown off... If we had stayed in our house last night, we would have all died", resident Anitha Prakash told BBC Hindi.
One of the victims was said to be a biker hit by a piece of flying concrete 1km (0.6 miles) away from the scene.
"Huge pieces of concrete were flying through the air," said resident Jayashree Harikrishnan. "Chunks landed in our yard."

The Kerala government has ordered an investigation, and the police are planning to take action against the temple administration and the contractors who were putting on the display.
"There was no permission to even store the fireworks," Kerala's Chief Minister Oommen Chandy said.

The incident happened as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived in Mumbai for a seven-day tour of India and Bhutan.
They had been informed about it and sent their thoughts to all who were assisting the victims, Kensington Palace said.
Fireworks and firecrackers are commonly used at temple festivals and other public events and accidents are not uncommon.
Kerala is in the midst of an election for a new state assembly but political parties have called off campaigning as a mark of respect for the victims.

Brussels terrorists initially planned to attack in France, prosecutor says..

Terrorists who attacked the Belgian capital last month planned to strike France again, but changed their minds, authorities said Sunday.

"Numerous elements in the investigation have shown that the terrorist group initially had the intention to strike in France again," the Belgium prosecutor's office said in a statement.

When attackers discovered French investigators were moving fast, they changed their plans.

"Eventually ... they urgently took the decision to strike in Brussels," the prosecutor said.

The terror cell had planned to attack high-profile targets in Paris, CNN affiliate BFM reported, citing a source close to the investigation.

A laptop recovered by investigators in Brussels last month included a list of targets in Paris including the financial district, known as La Defense, and a Catholic association, BFM reported.

In November, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said that investigators had learned that Abdelhamid Abaaoud, the ringleader behind the Paris attacks in November, had planned a suicide attack on La Defense.

Sunday's announcement came a day after authorities identified Mohamed Abrini, believed to be the third and lone surviving suspect in the Brussels airport attacks.

Suicide bombers targeted the airport and subway station in Brussels on March 22, killing 32 people in the heart of the European capital.

'Man in the hat'

Authorities said Abrini confessed to being the "man in the hat." He was seen in Brussels airport surveillance images wearing a dark hat and rolling luggage carts with two men believed to be the suicide bombers.

Authorities charged him with participation in terrorist activities, terrorist murders and attempts to commit terrorist murders, the prosecutor's office said.

Abrini is one of six people detained in raids Friday across the Belgian capital. In addition to the Brussels attack, he has been tied through surveillance video and DNA to November's terror attacks in Paris. Those attacks killed 130 people.

Earlier Saturday, the prosecutor's office said it identified the second person seen in surveillance footage from the subway attack in Brussels.

Osama Krayem -- also known as Naim al Hamed -- is seen along suicide bomber Khalid El Bakraoui, according to the Belgian federal prosecutor's office.

He has also been charged with "participation to the activities of a terrorist group and terrorist murders," according to the prosecutor's office.

European security agencies believe Krayem, or Hamed, played an operational role in the attack.

Belgium has emerged as a hotbed of extremism, exporting more foreign fighters per capita to Syria than any other Western European nation, according to the International Center for the Study of Radicalization and Political Violence.

The Brussels and Paris attacks "point to a broad and sophisticated terrorist network in Belgium," the London-based think tank said.

Saturday 9 April 2016

If this was the game when Arsenal’s hopes of winning the title were ended for another year, at least they will never forget their final visit to Upton Park. There was warm applause at the end of a pulsating, breathless 3-3 draw that did little for either side in the grander scheme of things. West Ham United needed a win to keep up with the Manchester clubs in the race for Champions League qualification but the greater disappointment was felt by the visitors, who will fall 13 points behind the leaders if Leicester City win at Sunderland on Sunday afternoon.

The unfortunate truth for Arsène Wenger is that his team’s maddening self-destructive tendencies have flared up on too many occasions this season, leaving them desperately clinging to Leicester’s coattails instead of maintaining the pressure on Claudio Ranieri’s side, and the manner in which a 2-0 lead was chucked away should be of deep embarrassment to Arsenal. Unable to deal with Andy Carroll’s aerial might, they allowed the West Ham striker to score his first hat-trick since August 2010, and needed a late equaliser from Laurent Koscielny to save a point.


The afternoon began with such promise for Arsenal. Their incoherent title challenge can be traced back to their opening match, when Petr Cech ruined his debut with the errors that gifted West Ham a 2-0 win at the Emirates last August. Yet they have played with more fluency since adding the flair of Alex Iwobi to their attack. For a teenager who only came into the starting XI last month, Iwobi has shown a startling lack of fear in all of his appearances and the 19-year-old created the goals that allowed Arsenal to cruise into a 2-0 lead, carving West Ham’s back three apart with a couple of splendid assists, for Mesut Özil and Alexis Sánchez. When Sánchez scored Arsenal’s second 10 minutes before the break, it seemed inconceivable that they would find themselves 3-2 down seven minutes into the second half.

West Ham used the 3-4-2-1 system that worked so effectively in their win over Tottenham Hotspur last month, with Dimitri Payet and Manuel Lanzini floating behind Carroll, but they looked vulnerable whenever their midfield was bypassed by a succession of quick passes. Arsenal flowed forward on the break repeatedly and after a few swift attacks were ruined by sloppy final balls they made the breakthrough thanks to a moment of incision from Iwobi in the 18th minute. Played onside by Angelo Ogbonna, Özil finished with aplomb.

Iwobi was outstanding in the first half, constantly probing and popping up in dangerous positions, and his assist for Sánchez’s goal was even better, a scoop over the West Ham defence for the Chilean forward, who rolled the ball past the exposed Adrian.

West Ham’s defence were all over the place, with James Tomkins gasping on his first start in more than two months, and Arsenal threatened to run riot for a while. Yet there was an element of fortune to Arsenal’s lead given that the Özil’s opener came four minutes after Lanzini’s header was incorrectly ruled out for offside, replays suggesting that the Argentinian midfielder had been played onside by Héctor Bellerín. West Ham have been on the wrong end of a few questionable refereeing decisions in recent weeksalthough they could not complain when Payet’s goal was chalked off shortly after half-time for Carroll’s blatant foul on Laurent Koscielny.

One of the more impressive features of this West Ham side has been their ability to regain their composure in difficult moments, however, and they demonstrated their powers of recovery by hauling themselves level in the space of three manic minutes at the end of the first half.

They had barely threatened before Carroll attacked Aaron Cresswell’s cross from the left brilliantly, thudding a header low to David Ospina’s left, and the roof nearly flew off Upton Park when the striker equalised in stoppage time. Mark Noble chipped a cross in from the right and although Carroll’s first effort was blocked, he adjusted superbly to hook an acrobatic volley past Ospina.

This was Carroll’s first league start since he suffered a hamstring injury against Bournemouth on 12 January, although he would never have had the chance to torment Arsenal if he had been punished more severely for a wild early challenge on Koscielny.


Arsène Wenger: West Ham have ‘won the lottery’ with Olympic Stadium

The referee, Craig Pawson, settled for a booking, meaning that Carroll was able to complete the comeback by meeting Antonio’s cross from the right with an unstoppable header at the far post in the 52nd minute.

The goal originated from Bilic’s switching to a back four at half-time, with Emmanuel Emenike replacing Tomkins and Antonio moving to right-back. Antonio was unchallenged as he surged to the byline and his centre was meat and drink for Carroll, who gobbled it up with glee.

The drama was unrelenting. Lanzini denied Nacho Monreal with a goalline clearance and Wenger threw on Olivier Giroud and Aaron Ramsey. Yet it was a defender who saved Arsenal, Koscielny crashing the ball in after Danny Welbeck miscontrolled Özil’s cross with 20 minutes to go.

North Korea 'tests long-range missile engine

9 April 2016

Kim Jong-un reportedly watched the latest test
North Korea says it has successfully tested an engine designed for an intercontinental ballistic missile.
The new type of engine would "guarantee" the ability to launch a nuclear strike on the US mainland, the KCNA news agency said.
The test was conducted at the country's long-range missile launch site near its west coast.
It is the latest in a series of tests and launches carried out by the isolated nation.
Can South Korea defend itself?
Dealing with the North: Carrots or sticks?
How advanced is North Korea's nuclear programme?
Leader Kim Jong-un supervised the test, state media report, during which "the engine spewed out huge flames with a deafening boom".
The country would now be able to "keep any cesspool of evils in the earth including the US mainland within our striking range," Mr Kim was quoted as saying.
North Korea should "refrain from actions and rhetoric that further destabilise the region and focus instead on taking concrete steps toward fulfilling its commitments and international obligations," said US state department spokesman Mark Toner.



North Korea's Central News Agency issued an image of what it said was a test of the new engine

Step by step, North Korea is completing the tasks needed to have a nuclear-tipped missile capable of striking the US.
In recent weeks, it has said it has made the heat-resistant materials necessary. It broadcast pictures of Kim Jong-un looking on approvingly at what it claimed was a small nuclear warhead. Now it says it has the necessary rocket engine.
It is impossible to verify the claims, though on Tuesday the South Korean government accepted that North Korea had made crucial advances.
Next month, there is a grand political congress in Pyongyang to which Kim Jong-un is building up with fearsome rhetoric. He has threatened a fifth nuclear test. It would not be a surprise if that happened.

In March, North Korea said it had developed nuclear warheads small enough to fit on ballistic missiles.
However, experts cast doubt on the claims.
Last month also saw North Korea threaten "indiscriminate" nuclear strikes on the US and South Korea as they held big joint military drills, which the north sees as a rehearsal for an eventual invasion.
Meanwhile, the US imposed new sanctions on North Korea following a nuclear test in January and a satellite launch in February, widely seen as a test of banned missile technology.
The US has also held talks with South Korea aimed at deploying a US missile defence system to the Korean peninsula, a move strongly opposed by North Korea, Russia and China.
Beijing says the Thaad anti-missile system compromises its security and would undermine its nuclear deterrent.

FIFA reforms’ll reduce corruption, says football lovers

February 27, 2016

A cross-section of football enthusiasts in Abuja says the new reforms introduced by the International Federation of Football Associations will reduce corruption in its administration.

The football enthusiasts told the News Agency of Nigeria on Saturday that FIFA deserves praise for the reforms, and urged the football body to follow the reforms to the letter.

NAN reports that the new reforms approved at Friday’s extraordinary congress of the body in Zurich, Switzerland include the disclosure of salaries on an annual basis for the FIFA President.

The same will also apply to all FIFA council members, the Secretary-General and relevant chairpersons of independent standing and judicial committees.

Also, the FIFA president’s tenure has now been limited to three terms of four years.

This will also apply to FIFA council members and members of the audit and compliance committee and the judicial bodies.

The reforms also include a minimum of one female representative to be elected as a council member per confederation in order to promote women in football.

One of the enthusiasts, Mansur Abdullahi, who is a former assistant coach at Plateau United FC of Jos, acknowledged that the reforms are a welcome development.

“If FIFA has approved reforms, then it is a good thing, because when holding a public office such as this, what you take home should be known.

“But why is it only the salaries? Why not the allowances as well? I just hope that this will reduce the corruption in FIFA,” he said.

Another football enthusiast, Alex Mana, who is of the National Institute for Sports in Lagos said the reforms are a good development.

He said the reforms are important to the game at this point in time, especially with the new place given women in the running of affairs.

Saudi Arabia is reeling from falling oil prices. And it could get much worse.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — Stung by falling oil prices, Saudi Arabia has cut spending and subsidies as part of harsh austerity measures that threaten the lavish welfare programs underpinning its stability.

The oil-exporting giant’s economy has gone from producing windfalls to deficits, and Saudi rulers increasingly struggle to provide the cushy government jobs, expensive state handouts and tax-free living that have long bought them domestic obedience.

The pivot to austerity — which also has been imposed by neighboring Gulf Arab oil monarchies — risks triggering unrest in a Saudi society that is conservative and particularly resistant to change, analysts and diplomats warn.

The cutbacks are seen as necessary by King Salman’s son, defense minister and head of economic planning, Mohammed bin Salman. The 30-year-old prince has raised eyebrows for overseeing leadership shake-ups at home and two wars abroad. Advisers say he also intends to wean the country off its overwhelming dependence on oil sales and reform a bloated and opaque public sector.

“He understands that now is the moment to capitalize on low oil prices by cutting wasteful subsidies and reforming our economy to make us stronger,” said Fahad Bin Jumah, a Saudi economist and member of the country’s Consultative Assembly who has advised Prince Mohammed.

Oil prices have plunged by about 70 percent over the last year and a half, even falling below $30 a barrel this month, battering the world’s second-largest producer and jarring a society that has grown accustomed to easy money and extravagant consumerism. Oil revenue accounts for an estimated 90 percent of the Saudi government’s income, leading to last year’s large budget deficit of $98 billion, or about 15 percent of gross domestic product.

Saudi Arabia, a U.S. ally and absolute monarchy, has for decades managed to ride out manic oil-price fluctuations, amassing astonishing revenue that has financed a healthy cushion of backup foreign-currency reserves worth hundreds of billions of dollars.

But in October, the International Monetary Fund warned that the government, which projects a deficit of $87 billion for 2016, could run out of money within five years if it did not tighten spending.

In response, Prince Mohammed pushed a raft of cost-cutting measures late last year that included a partial lifting of costly subsidies on gasoline, electricity and water. Authorities have reined in public spending, imposed hiring freezes and halted work on infrastructure and real estate projects. Officials talk about privatizing industry, including the prized national oil company.

The prince even discussed imposing taxes, a sensitive subject for Saudis, during an interview published last month by the Economist. “We’re talking about taxes or fees t
