Internet boyfriend Benedict Cumberbatch literally fought off a bunch of muggers

Posted: 02 Jun 2018 10:09 AM PDT

Internet boyfriend Benedict Cumberbatch literally fought off a bunch of muggersBenedict Cumberbatch helped fight off a group of muggers attacking a cyclist in London, a mere stone's throw from Sherlock Holmes' Baker Street home. "The cyclist was lucky, Benedict's a superhero," said Cumberbatch's Uber driver, who witnessed the whole thing and eventually joined to help. Yeah, we know. SEE ALSO: Benedict Cumberbatch takes a strong stand on equal pay Cumberbatch reportedly leapt out of his Uber to help the struggling cyclist, who was being attacked by no less than four assailants. Bystanders told The Sun that he shouted "Leave him alone!" and then pulled the muggers off their victim. One of the attackers tried to punch Cumberbatch before fleeing the scene (is that you, Watson?), but the man has Marvel training.  Image: tumblr"It all got a bit surreal," said the Uber driver, Manuel Dias. "Here was Sherlock Holmes fighting off four attackers just round the corner from Baker Street." Surreal indeed. Dias suspected the muggers ran away, not only because they were being physically bested by a literal superhero, but because they recognized Cumberbatch. Imagine getting in a fight and then realizing you're up against a ripped Dr. Strange! After the attackers left, Cumberbatch checked that the victim was okay and gave him a hug. The cyclist sustained some minor injuries but avoided any severe harm – though we're not sure how he recovered from that hug.

Five dead as E coli outbreak spreads across the US in contaminated lettuceFive people have died due to an E coli outbreak across the United States, thought to be spread by romaine lettuce. The Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has confirmed 197 cases of the deadly disease across 35 states, making it the largest E coli outbreak since 2006, when 200 people were affected. Although the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) says there is no single grower or distributor to be blamed for the outbreak, and is still investigating, Arizona's Yuma growing region is thought to be the source of the contaminated lettuce.

US-Mexico border: How hope, aspiration and love drives migrants through a perilous journey

US-Mexico border: How hope, aspiration and love drives migrants through a perilous journeyAs Donald Trump stood before his jubilant supporters at the end of his thank you tour in Alabama in December 2016 chants of "build the wall" echoed around the Ladd-Peebles Stadium. The boisterous crowd interrupted the then president-elect to remind him of the promise he had made during the election campaign: to clamp down on people illegally crossing the border into the US. The infamous structure, despite being practically impossible to deliver, serves as a physical and metaphorical blockade stopping undocumented immigrants entering the US from Mexico and Central America, 11 million of whom already reside in the country.

Several members of the Chilean church hierarchy are accused by victims of ignoring and covering up child abuse by Karadima during the 1980s and 1990s.

The Singapore hotel where top brass, dealers and spies rub shouldersBy Greg Torode SINGAPORE (Reuters) - For the region's military officers, diplomats, weapons manufacturers and spies, there are few livelier places than the lobby of Singapore's Shangri-La hotel around mid-year. Here, beneath pillared ceilings and chandeliers, they gather for an annual informal bash - called the Shangri-La Dialogue - organized by the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies. This year's chapter was held at the weekend and the chatter was particularly lively given the strategic shifts shaking Asia, from North Korea to rapidly-evolving rivalry between India and China.


Melania Trump unseen in public for 22 days as she skips Camp David trip

Posted: 02 Jun 2018 07:17 AM PDT

Melania Trump unseen in public for 22 days as she skips Camp David tripMelania Trump will not join her husband at the Camp David presidential retreat this weekend, extending to 22 days the time since she last appeared in public.  The First Lady was last seen on May 10 and underwent surgery for a "benign" kidney issue on May 14, spending a few days in hospital before being released.  Mrs Trump's lack of appearance at events she would normally be expected to attend has created headlines in the US media and triggered conspiracy theories.  She addressed them on Wednesday, tweeting: "I see the media is working overtime speculating where I am & what I'm doing.  "Rest assured, I'm here at the White House [with] my family, feeling great, & working hard on behalf of children & the American people!" Donald Trump will be spending the weekend at Camp David – a location he rarely attends, preferring instead his Florida resort Mar-a-lago. But the White House confirmed that Mrs Trump will not be with him.  News of Mrs Trump's operation last month was broken by a spokesman for the First Lady. There had been no public signs before the statement dropped that she had been unwell.  Mrs Trump's communications director said at the time that the First Lady "underwent an embolisation procedure to treat a benign kidney condition".   She said "the procedure was successful and there were no complications" and added: "The First Lady looks forward to a full recovery so she can continue her work on behalf of children everywhere." Mrs Trump was treated at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center on the edge of Washington. It is unclear when she will next appear in at a public event.

Merkel voices support for Macron's proposed European defence force

Posted: 03 Jun 2018 05:26 AM PDT

Merkel voices support for Macron's proposed European defence forceAngela Merkel on Sunday gave German support to French proposals for a joint European military "intervention force" that will take action in trouble spots around the world. Britain has already backed the planned force, which will operate independently of the European Union, despite misgivings that it could be seen as a "European army". The force is a key element of Emmanuel Macron's proposals to reform European defence and integrate the continent's many militaries more closely together. Until now German reluctance has been seen as a major obstacle, but Mrs Merkel on Sunday gave qualified support to the plans. "I am in favor of President Macron's proposal for an intervention initiative," the German chancellor told Frankfurter Allgemeine Sonntagszeitung newspaper. "However, such an intervention force with a common military-strategic culture must fit into the structure of defense cooperation," she added. "European defense cooperation is very important. Of the 180 weapon systems that currently coexist in Europe, we must move to a situation like the United States, which has only about 30 weapons systems." The new intervention force has been touted as an opportunity to involve Britain in European defence cooperation after Brexit. FAQ | European joint defence force Earl Howe, the junior defence minister, said last month: "It will help to achieve what we are looking for, which is a deep and special partnership with our European colleagues in defence and security". Mrs Merkel said she welcomed the opportunity to involve Britain in the force. But she also stressed that the the EU's existing defence pact and any "common military strategy" are "closely related", which will stoke Brexiteer fears that the force could involve Britain in a European army by the back door. Mr Macron is thought to be keen to involve Britain in future European defence cooperation as one of the continent's most effective militaries. But he is also pushing for the force in part because of frustrations with the slow pace of EU defence integration. Twenty-three member states signed up to a defence cooperation pact last year after Britain dropped its opposition in light of Brexit. But progress has been slow amid foot-dragging from several members, including Germany, where there are traditional misgivings over the role of the military, given the country's Second World War history. Mrs Merkel emphasised that the German armed forces would remain commanded by parliament and not the government, and "would not take part in every mission".
