Delhi hospital treats, provides refuge to Muslims amid deadly violence

NEW DELHI: As deadly violence erupted in the northeast of New Delhi this week, with armed mobs rampaging the streets, a small hospital located in a densely packed Muslim neighbourhood found itself at the epicentre of the unrest. Al-Hind Hospital, in the riot-torn Mustafabad neighbourhood, was flooded with patients this week, and it has also become a place of refuge for people whose homes were burned or destroyed. At least 38 people were killed and hundreds more injured in the worst sectarian violence in Delhi in decades, as groups of Hindus and Muslims clashed. The violence began after weeks of protests over a citizenship law that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government introduced in December, which eases the path to Indian citizenship for minority groups from neighbouring Muslim-majority countries. Critics say the law is biased against Muslims and undermines India’s secular constitution. On Thursday people were still trickling in, saying they had suffered acid attacks and bea...

One killed, 19 missing in floods in France and Italy

PARIS/ROME: A fireman died and 19 people were missing in France and Italy after a storm hit border regions of the two countries, causing heavy flooding that swept away roads and damaged homes, authorities said on Saturday. The storm, dubbed Alex, ravaged several villages around the city of Nice on the French Riviera. Nice Mayor Christian Estrosi called it the worst flooding disaster in the area for more than a century after flying over the worst-hit area by helicopter. “The roads and about 100 houses were swept away or partially destroyed,” he told French news channel BFM. At least eight people were missing in France, authorities said. These included two firemen whose vehicle was carried away by a swollen river, according to local witnesses cited by several French media. In Italy, at least one person died and up to 11 people were missing, local authorities said. A fireman was killed by a falling tree in the Valle d’Aosta region, while three people travelling in a van were swept a...

Trump mocks Indian PM for library in Afghanistan

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday mocked Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi for funding a library in Afghanistan, suggesting it was of no use. Trump brought up India’s aid during a rambling press appearance at a cabinet meeting as he defended his push for the United States to invest less overseas. While stating that he got along with Modi, Trump said the Indian leader was “constantly telling me he built a library in Afghanistan”. “You know what that is? That’s like five hours of what we spend,” Trump said. “And we’re supposed to say, ‘Oh, thank you for the library.’ I don’t know who’s using it in Afghanistan,” Trump said. It was unclear to which project Trump was referring, but India has committed $3 billion in assistance to Afghanistan since US-led forces toppled the extremist Taliban regime after the September 11, 2001 attacks. Projects have included the reconstruction of an elite high school in Kabul and scholarships to India for 1,000 Afghan students each year. Inaugu...

US presidential election declared most secure in country’s history

WASHINGTON: Senior US federal and state election officials said Thursday that there was “no evidence” that votes were lost or changed, or voting systems corrupted, in the presidential election. The officials, responsible for election security across the country, rejected claims made by President Donald Trump and Republicans that fraud and lost ballots led to his loss to Democrat Joe Biden in last week’s election. “The November 3rd election was the most secure in American history,” they said in a statement. “There is no evidence that any voting system deleted or lost votes, changed votes, or was in any way compromised,” they said. “While we know there are many unfounded claims and opportunities for misinformation about the process of our elections, we can assure you we have the utmost confidence in the security and integrity of our elections, and you should too.” The statement was issued by the Election Infrastructure Government Coordinating Council, a public-private umbrella ...

Babysitter trying to flee after abducting infant boy nabbed at airport

Detectives have nabbed a babysitter at Denver International Airport – Colorado who was trying to flee after allegedly abducting a four-month-old Utah boy. A babysitter abducted an infant boy and fled with him to Colorado, however, the alleged kidnapping bid was foiled by detectives who took her into custody from the airport, nearly 600 miles away in Denver According to Crime Online , Cedar City police had been informed by the mother of the infant, Peyton Everett Caraballo-Winston’s on Friday that she had allowed all three of her children to stay the night with their babysitter, who was to return them Friday morning. She complained that the babysitter, Emily Marissa Luciano, made continual excuses about her delay in returning the children. During the investigation, police learned that the babysitter had dropped the older children — ages 5 and 1 — “with a third-party” and taken Peyton with her to Colorado. The officials issued an AMBER Alert for the infant besides recovering and r...

Armenia accuses Turkish fighter jet of downing warplane

BAKU/YEREVAN: Armenia said a Turkish F-16 fighter jet shot down one of its warplanes over Armenian airspace on Tuesday, killing the pilot, but Turkey called the claim “absolutely untrue”. Any such incident would mark a potentially major escalation of conflict in the South Caucasus region. Turkey is a close ally of Azerbaijan, which is fighting ethnic Armenian forces in a major new flare-up of a decades-old conflict over the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. An Armenian defence ministry spokeswoman said the Armenian Sukhoi Su-25 warplane had been on a military assignment when it was downed by an F-16 fighter jet owned by the Turkish air force. Turkey’s communications director Fahrettin Altun said: “Armenia should withdraw from the territories under its occupation instead of resorting to cheap propaganda tricks.” Azerbaijan’s defence ministry also denied that a Turkish fighter jet had shot down an Armenian plane. Dozens of people have been reported killed and hundreds wounded since c...

Russian hackers targeted California, Indiana Democratic parties

WASHINGTON: The group of Russian hackers accused of meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election earlier this year targeted the email accounts of Democratic state parties in California and Indiana, and influential think tanks in Washington and New York, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The attempted intrusions, many of which were internally flagged by Microsoft Corp over the summer, were carried out by a group often nicknamed “Fancy Bear.” The hackers’ activity provides insight into how Russian intelligence is targeting the United States in the run-up to the Nov. 3 election. The targets identified by Reuters, which include the Center for American Progress, the Council on Foreign Relations and the Washington-based Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, said they had not seen any evidence of successful hacking attempts. Fancy Bear is controlled by Russia’s military intelligence agency and was responsible for hacking the email accounts of Hillary Clinton’s sta...

Woman with 'bloated' stomach discovers she had 14 pounds of ovarian tumors

Woman with 'bloated' stomach discovers she had 14 pounds of ovarian tumors The New Zealand woman is speaking out about her experience. (iStock) One “bloated” 26-year-old woman recently learned that her pregnant-looking belly was in fact caused by 14 pounds of stage 3 cancerous tumors in her ovaries. The New Zealander has since had surgery to remove the growths and a full hysterectomy, and is now undergoing chemotherapy. Sarah Nicholson told Chronicle Live that she began having abdominal pain, fatigue, loss of appetite and a change in toilet habits last year, and she suspected she was suffering from irritable bowel syndrome. “I had symptoms which could have been of things less serious, like irritable bowel syndrome,” the Cochrane Park, Newcastle resident said. “But I had a round bloated stomach, which looked as if I was pregnant, and I knew it was just not right.” VIRGINIA WOMAN DONATES KIDNEY TO STRANGER: 'GOD CALLED ME TO DO THIS' A d...

Poll finds over 80% in Japan back female emperor

The vast majority of Japanese voters back allowing women to inherit the Chrysanthemum Throne, a new polls shows, as the royal family struggles with a dearth of male heirs. The survey, conducted in the wake of last week’s enthronement proclamation ceremony for Emperor Naruhito, found 81.9 percent favour Japan having a woman take the throne, with 13.5 percent opposed. The Kyodo News agency poll, carried out over the weekend, comes as there is renewed debate about succession in the royal family, with inheritance of the throne limited by law to male members of the imperial line. There are currently just three heirs — the emperor’s younger brother Crown Prince Akishino, 53, his 13-year-old son Prince Hisahito, and 83-year-old Prince Hitachi, the emperor’s uncle. The dwindling ranks of male heirs have rekindled debate about allowing female royals to ascend the throne, with top government spokesman Yoshihide Suga saying they would “cautiously” study the issue after a series of imperial...

Soccer player ‘smothers’ coronavirus-affected son to death

A Turkish soccer player reportedly confessed to killing his five-year-old son afflicted with coronavirus and using the disease as a cover to hush up the offence. Cevher Toktas, who plays soccer in the Turkish Regional Amateur League, told local police that he smothered his son at a hospital where he was admitted because of suspected coronavirus infection. He brought his son to a hospital in Turkey on April 23 when the boy was coughing and running a fever. Medical staff reportedly isolated the father and son together, believing that they both were likely infected. On the same day, Toktas covered his son’s face with a pillow for 15 minutes while the boy may have already been experiencing respiratory difficulties. He then intimated medical staff that his son was having trouble breathing. “After he stopped moving, I lifted the pillow,” Toktas told police. “Then I yelled for doctors to help to draw any suspicions away from me.” The 5-year-old boy died the same day that he was brought...
