Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby looks tantastic as she leaves little to the imagination on a night out with Katie Salmon

Image
CHARLOTTE Crosby is never afraid to wear a daring outfit – but this latest one could be one of her raunchiest to date. The Geordie Shore star, who is 26, turned heads as she strutted to the Playground Club in Liverpool with Love Island stunner Kate Salmon. And while both ladies left little to the imagination, it was Charlotte that definitely displayed a little more than anyone bargained for. Wearing a casual, loose fitting white shirt, Charlotte’s nipple was on full display as she wore nothing but a sheer black bra underneath. Looking like she’d walked straight out of a tanning salon, the bronzed goddess stunned with thigh-high suede boots and a black choker, looking every bit a style sensation for a night on the tiles. Not taking any focus from her dark tan, Gaz Beadle’s ex opted for barely-there make-up and a natural brow, completing the look with her long, tousled hair cascading down her back. Meanwhile, Katie Salmon stunned in an equally daring white caged mini dress

Ex-Congressman Weiner embroiled in new sexting scandal

Image
Former Congressman and New York City mayoral candidate Anthony Weiner sent explicit photos to a woman multiple times over the past 19 months, according to a  New York Post  report published late Sunday.  Weiner, who is married to Hillary Clinton's top aide, Huma Abedin, also admitted to sexually fantasizing and masturbating about the unidentified woman, calling her "literally a fantasy chick," according to the report. At least one of the photos Weiner sent the woman showed his underwear-clad crotch as his son Jordan slept next to him in bed.  When contacted by the Post, Weiner admitted he and the woman "have been friends for some time," but added that their conversations were "private ... and were always appropriate." Weiner, 51, added that he had never met the woman, despite repeatedly inviting her to visit him in New York. Weiner spent 12 years in the House of Representatives before resigning in June 2011 after posting an explicit ima

RTBF says no one was injured but that damage at the site is significant. Police have deployed in force and sealed off the area.

Thankfully he was returned home with the help of the  RSPCA  after being spotted by shocked passers-by hiding underneath a piece of corrugated metal.

This one was so big - and very strong too. “He was clearly  overweight  and was

Image
A US National Football League (NFL) quarterback has refused to stand for the national anthem in protest at what he sees as racial injustice. Colin Kaepernick, who plays with the San Francisco 49ers, remained seated as the anthem was played. "I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of colour," he explained. Some fans booed the player when he took to the field. But his team said they supported his right to protest, which took place as the 49ers hosted the Green Bay Packers in a pre-season game on Friday. US anthem and flag: Etiquette and law "We recognise the right of an individual to choose and participate, or not, in our celebration of the national anthem," the team said. 'Bigger than football' An NFL spokesman said players were "encouraged but not required" to stand during the anthem.

Suspected Kurdish militants fire rockets at Turkey's Diyarbakir airport

Image
Suspected Kurdish militants fired rockets at the airport in Turkey's main southeastern city of Diyarbakir on Saturday (Aug 27), sending passengers and staff scrambling for shelter, Dogan news agency said, but there were no immediate reports of casualties. Four rockets were fired at a police checkpoint outside the VIP lounge, and passengers and staff were taken inside the terminal building for safety, the private news agency said. The attack happened not long before midnight (2100 GMT) on Saturday. Broadcaster NTV said the rockets landed on wasteland nearby. There were no casualties and no disruption to flights, Diyarbakir governor Huseyin Aksoy told the news channel. There was no immediate claim of responsibility. Diyarbakir is the main city in Turkey's largely Kurdish southeast, where Kurdish militants have waged a three-decade insurgency. The attack comes days after Turkey launched a military incursion into Syria aimed at driving back Islamic State and pr

Turkey ratchets up Syria offensive, says warplanes hit Kurdish militia

Image
KARKAMIS, Turkey: Rebels supported by Turkey fought Kurdish-backed forces in north Syria on Saturday, as Ankara ratcheted up its cross-border offensive by saying it had launched air strikes on Kurdish forces and Islamic State. Turkey's government, which is fighting a Kurdish insurgency at home, has said the Syrian campaign launched this week is as much about targeting Islamic State as it is about preventing Kurdish forces filling the vacuum left when Islamists withdraw. Turkey wants to stop Kurdish forces gaining control of a continuous stretch of Syrian territory on its frontier, which Ankara fears could be used to support the Kurdish militant group PKK as it wages its three-decade insurgency on Turkish soil. Turkish security sources said two F-16 jets bombed a site controlled by the Kurdish YPG militia, which is part of the broader U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) coalition. The sources also said the jets hit six Islamic State targets. Turkey wants to stop

Iran detects malware in petrochemical plants, says not linked to recent fires

Iran has detected and removed malicious software from two of its petrochemical complexes, a senior military official said on Saturday, after announcing last week it was investigating whether recent petrochemical fires were caused by cyber attacks. The official said the malware at the two plants was inactive and had not played a role in the fires. "In periodical inspection of petrochemical units, a type of industrial malware was detected and the necessary defensive measures were taken," Gholamreza Jalali, head of Iran's civilian defence, was quoted as saying by the state news agency IRNA. Iran is alert to the threat of cyber attack by foreign countries. The United States and Israel covertly sabotaged Iran's nuclear programme in 2009 and 2010 with the now-famous Stuxnet computer virus, which destroyed Iranian centrifuges that were enriching uranium. The National Cyberspace Council announced last week that it was investigating whether the recent petrochemical f

Government to legalize street hawking

Image
According to Ayade, having a policy against street hawking will be too hard on traders who cannot afford to rent a shop. Prof. Ben Ayade, the Cross-River state has disclosed that he is currently awaiting an approval by the House of Assembly, in a bid to legalize street hawking. Ayade revealed this while interacting with reporters at the Executive Chambers, Calabar, on Thursday, August 25, 2016. According to him, it is difficult to send the hawkers away from the street due to their inability to rent a shop. “You cannot tell a man not to sell his goods on the streets because he cannot rent a store, yet you tell the man not to steal." "Just provide a regulatory framework because to prohibit hawking is to tell a man that you don’t want him to eat." “I have sent the Hawking Rights Bill to the House of Assembly to provide a regulatory framework that will provide the right to hawk. We are making provisions for a hawkers’ corridor." “There must be a mini

SSANU Asks FG To Probe FUNAAB Leadership

Image
The Senior Staff Association of Universities (SSANU) at the Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta (FUNAAB) has called for a Federal Government fact finding team to investigate the Vice Chancellor of the institution, Professor Olusola Oyewole. The SSANU Chairman at FUNAAB, Mr Rotimi Fasuwon, said their members were suspended on the order of Professor Oyewole for alleged acts prejudicial to the smooth running and governance of the university. The call is a fall out of the suspension of three members of SSANU, which had pitched the Vice Chancellor against the union and led to the call for his removal. He accused the university authority of carrying out the suspension in bad faith. The Vice Chancellor on his part, defended his action, saying due process was followed in the suspension of the three members of the union. He also alleged that the crisis was motivated by internal politics, playing itself out among gladiators in the institution, a claim the SSANU Chairman d
