French family narrowly escape cheetahs after getting out of car to take pictures in safari park

Posted: 11 May 2018 07:07 AM PDT

French family narrowly escape cheetahs after getting out of car to take pictures in safari parkA French family of five have been filmed narrowly escaping attack by cheetahs in a Dutch safari park after they left their car to take photographs and were chased by the big cats. Beekse Bergen is a drive-through African wildlife safari park, in the south of the Netherlands, where visitors are under strict instruction not to leave their cars. Apparently blithely unaware they were risking death or injury from the wild beasts who roam free in the park, the tourists were filmed leaving their French-registered car with two young children. The cheetahs can be seen calmly sunning themselves when the family gets out to take snaps. Cheetahs are the fastest animals on land Credit: BBC At first the big cats fail to react. The family can then be seen driving a little further down the road and striding up a small hill within yards of the animals, who suddenly snap into action. Cheetahs are the world's fastest land animal, capable of reaching speeds of up to 70 mph. They are built for speed, grace, and hunting and mainly prey on small antelopes such as Thomson's gazelles and impalas. But they are clearly interested in the humans and appear to start stalking their prey. The clueless tourists only spot the cheetahs at the last minute and make a panic-stricken dash for their vehicle. All, except one woman, who can be seen picking up the youngest child and apparently shooing the cheetahs away before slipping into the car. They then drive off miraculously unscathed. A spokesman for Beekse Bergen park said they make it clear it is strictly forbidden to leave one's vehicle during the safari.  'We inform visitors about the risks in several languages throughout the park,' the spokesman told Dutch broadcaster NOS.  Dutch news website VK Mag suggested introducing "mandatory IQ tests" for anyone wanting to do the safari.

Hawaii volcano could be building up to big eruption: scientists

Posted: 11 May 2018 12:59 AM PDT

Hawaii volcano could be building up to big eruption: scientistsA Hawaii volcano that has been oozing lava and burping steam for days may be gearing up for a huge eruption, scientists have warned, prompting the closure of Volcanoes National Park on Friday. It is the newest threat from the Kilauea volcano, which began erupting last Thursday on the US state's Big Island, the National Park Service said. Movement of the molten rock opened space for lava at the summit to drain underground, reducing the height of a lava lake at the summit, US Geological Survey geophysicist Ingrid Johanson told the Los Angeles Times.

Monica Lewinsky disinvited from Philanthropy Summit because Bill Clinton was going

Posted: 10 May 2018 10:20 AM PDT

Monica Lewinsky disinvited from Philanthropy Summit because Bill Clinton was goingMonica Lewinsky has described how she was unceremoniously disinvited from a high profile event after the organisers realised Bill Clinton was going to be there. Miss Lewinsky, 44, had accepted an invitation to the fifth annual Philanthropy Summit hosted by Town & Country, the lifestyle magazine, at Hearst Tower in New York. However, her invitation was rescinded by the magazine, which offered her the opportunity to write an article instead. Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky at the White House Credit: Getty Miss Lewinsky, who is now an anti-bullying activist, wrote on Twitter: "Dear world: please don't invite me to an event (esp one about social change) and - then after I've accepted - uninvite me because Bill Clinton then decided to attend/was invited. "It's 2018. Emily post would def not approve," a reference to the etiquette expert Emily Post. She added: "P.S. ...and definitely, please don't try to ameliorate the situation by insulting me with an offer of an article in your mag." dear world: please don't invite me to an event (esp one about social change) and --then after i've accepted-- uninvite me because bill clinton then decided to attend/was invited. it's 2018. emily post would def not approve. ✌��Me— Monica Lewinsky (@MonicaLewinsky) May 9, 2018 Miss Lewinsky's affair with Mr Clinton, when she was a 22-year-old White House intern and he was the US president, became public in 1998, rocking his administration, and leading in part to his impeachment.   The summit, which took place on Wednesday, featured "activists, game-changers, and leaders across the field of philanthropy, education, healthcare, and gun control". For a panel discussion Mr Clinton introduced survivors of the Parkland high school shooting in Florida, in which 17 people died. A spokeswoman for Mr Clinton said the former president had not been aware that Miss Lewinsky was scheduled to attend and then disinvited. She said: "President Clinton was invited to address the Town & Country Philanthropy Summit. He gladly accepted. "Neither he nor his staff knew anything about the invitation (to Miss Lewinsky) or it being rescinded." In a statement the magazine said: "We apologise to Ms Lewinsky and regret the way the situation was handled.

Donald Glover has spoken about the huge reaction to his 'This Is America' videoIf you've been anywhere near the internet over the past few weeks, you'll almost certainly have watched Donald Glover's super powerful new music video "This Is America". Not only has it received a massively positive reaction for the way it tackles gun violence, but it's also been accompanied by a huge amount of analysis breaking down the video's many hidden references. So what does the man who created it think of all the attention it's received? SEE ALSO: Donald Glover gave us the perfect '80s music video during 'Saturday Night Live' Well, apparently he's been steering clear of the internet — for the time being, at least. "I'm very sensitive," jokes Glover in the clip above. So he doesn't like seeing mean things being said about him? "More like, I see one negative thing and I track that person down," says Glover. "I'll like, go into their Instagram and be like, 'You not so great! That baby's not even that cute!"

China's Plan to Conquer the South China Sea Is Now Clear

Posted: 10 May 2018 09:17 AM PDT

China's Plan to Conquer the South China Sea Is Now ClearWell, it was hardly surprising when the news came out: Beijing has based – permanently, perhaps – offensive weapons on the artificial islands it has painstakingly constructed in the South China Sea. The Spratlys are a chain of mostly coral reefs in the eastern South China Sea that barely break the ocean's surface, but they are adjacent both to major sea lanes of communication (SLOCs) and to potentially lucrative maritime natural resources, such as fisheries and oil and gas deposits. Consequently, several countries in addition to China – including Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam – have laid claim to various parts of the Spratlys, and nearly all have attempted to enforce these claims by establishing garrisons and other structures on the islands.
