The graffiti – which read “F*** Tory scum” – was sprayed onto a statue commemorating the role of women in World War Two by protesters as they marched on Downing Street.

Dozens of protesters, many of them wearing masks or balaclavas tried to push their way through police lines. Some of the protesters brandished highly offensive banners as they marched towards Downing Street Protesters chanted ‘Get the Tories Out’ and ‘Tory Scum’ as they abused police officers trying to keep the peace Scotland Yard said two police officers needed hospital treatment and 17 people were arrested during the “unplanned anti-austerity protest” on Whitehall on Saturday afternoon as demonstrators reacted to the Conservatives’ shock election victory.

A Downing Street spokesman said: “Spraying graffiti on war memorials is a despicable display of disrespect for those who fought and died for their country, particularly at a time when the whole nation comes together to commemorate the 70th anniversary of VE Day.”

In Cardiff, anti-Tory protesters took part in a rally at the Aneurin Bevan statue in Queen Street.

Singer Charlotte Church was among the estimated 200 people to take part.

She was pictured with a placard which read: “I’m mad as hell and I’m not going to take it any more.”

A group calling itself The People’s Assembly Against Austerity claims it is organising another demonstration in the capital on 20 June.

China is forcing Muslim shopkeepers to sell alcohol & cigarettes to ‘weaken’ Islam

Chinese authorities in Laskuy township issued a notice to residents in Aktash village last week saying in part, “all restaurants and supermarkets in our village should place five different brands of alcohol and cigarettes in their shops before (May 1, 2015).” Shopkeepers were also instructed to promote the products in “eye-catching displays.” Authorities warned that “anybody who neglects this notice and fails to act will see their shops sealed off, their business suspended, and legal action pursued against them.” The notice also said the order was handed down from the top ranks of China’s ruling Communist Party.

“We have a campaign to weaken religion here and this is part of that campaign,” Adil Sulayman, Aktash village party committee secretary. “Since 2012, people have stopped selling alcohol and cigarettes through their businesses. Even those who benefited financially from the practice have given it up because they fear public scorn. That is why (the order was issued).”

Many locals in Aktash and other parts of Laskuy who practice Islam have decided to abstain from drinking and smoking, and selling the products was considered taboo for religious reasons. Sulayman told RFA that authorities in Xinjian viewed nonsmoking Muslims as “a form of religious extremism.” The Quran refers to the use of alcohol and any intoxicants or self-destructive practices as a sin.

Government officials and children in the predominately Muslim Xinjiang province have been banned from attending mosques or observing the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, which begins June 17.

The notice, obtained by RFA and posted on Twitter, ordered all restaurants and supermarkets in Aktash to sell five different brands of alcohol and cigarettes and display them prominently.

“Anybody who neglects this notice and fails to act will see their shops sealed off, their businesses suspended, and legal action pursued against them,” the notice said.

Radio Free Asia, which provides some of the only coverage of events in Xinjiang to escape strict Chinese government controls, said Hotan prefecture, where Aktash is located, had become “a hotbed of violent stabbing and shooting incidents between ethnic Uighurs and Chinese security forces.”

China says Uighur militant groups based abroad are using the Internet to inspire local Muslims to take up violent jihad against the state. Critics say China’s long repression of Uighur rights and nationalist sentiment has pushed people toward Islam as the only permitted assertion of their community’s identity, and pushed a minority toward a violent form of Islam. Clumsy attempts to promote alcohol or forbid beards and veils may prove counterproductive, they warn.

In January, Legislators in China’s far-western Xinjiang province passed a law to prohibit residents from wearing burqas in public, in a continued campaign against what authorities view as religious extremism.

The Karamay city authorities targeted veils, large beards, as well as three types of Islamic dresses — including those with the star and crescent symbol. Dozens of bus stations in the city were said to be manned by security personnel to conduct checks and report violators to the police.

Egypt’s Hosni Mubarak & his two sons, sentenced to 3 years in prison in retrial on corruption charges

An Egyptian court on Saturday sentenced former Egyptian president Hosni Mubarak to 3 years in prison on corruption charges after a retrial in Cairo. It was not clear whether the sentence will include the time Mubarak has already served, the Associated Press reported.

According to the court order, which also includes a 125 million Egyptian pound ($16.3 million) fine, Mubarak’s sons Gamal and Alaa were given 4 years of imprisonment each in the same case, which centers on the embezzlement of millions of dollars over the course of a decade. The court’s decision can be appealed, a lawyer for Mubarak reportedly said.

The funds, which were meant to pay for renovation of presidential palaces, were allegedly spent by Mubarak and his sons on maintaining their private residences, AP reported, adding that several supporters of the 87-year-old autocrat shouted in anger as the judge announced his verdict.

In January, an Egyptian court had ordered a retrial in the $17 million embezzlement case dropping the only remaining charge against him. The court had also overturned the convictions of his two sons, reportedly noting that legal procedures had not been followed properly.

“Sorry to disappoint everyone that thinks I’m this wild child… Gotta finish school now.”

WHO warns that Ebola may be transmitted sexually

The World Health Organisation has issued an interim advice on the possibility of Ebola Virus of being sexually transmitted.

The WHO had directed all Ebola survivors and their sexual partners to receive counselling to guard against possible transmission of the disease.

This is contained in a statement made available by WHO to newsmen in Lagos on Saturday.

It indicated that the sexual transmission of the Ebola Virus had yet to be established.

WHO said, “The sexual transmission of the Ebola Virus from males to females is a strong possibility, but has not yet been proven; less probable, but theoretically possible.

“Studies have shown that Ebola virus can be isolated from semen up to 82 days after symptom onset.

“A recent case investigation identified genetic material (RNA) from the virus by nucleic acid amplification tests (such as RT-PCR) 199 days after symptom onset.

“This is well beyond the period of virus detecting ability in the blood of survivors and long after recovery from illness.

“The detection of virus genetic material many months after symptom onset is assumed to reflect the continuing, or at least very recent, presence of live and potentially transmissible Ebola virus.”

More surveillance data and research are needed on the risks of sexual transmission and particularly on the prevalence of viable and transmissible virus in semen over time, WHO said.

WHO recommends that, in the interim, all Ebola survivors and their sexual partners should receive counselling.

It added that this is to ensure safe sexual practices until their semen has twice tested negative; and survivors should be provided with condoms.

“Ebola survivors and their sexual partners should either abstain from all types of sex or observe safe sex through correct and consistent condom use until their semen has twice tested negative.

“Having tested negative, survivors can safely resume normal sexual practices without fear of Ebola virus transmission,” the statement added.

Canadian father, Randy Janzen writes chilling Facebook confession after killing his Daughter, Wife & Sister

According to US media reports, Canadian father, Randy Janzen apparently confessed to shooting dead his teenage daughter, wife, and sister at two separate homes in this chilling Facebook post, writing:

‘Now my family is pain-free and in heaven.’

In the online post, Randy Janzen seemingly writes that his torment over his 19-year-old daughter Emily’s debilitating migraines led him to shoot her in the head at a house in British Columbia.

He adds that he then gunned down his wife, Laurel, ‘because a mother should never have [to] hear the
news her baby has died’, and his sister, Shelly, so that she did not ‘have to live with this shame’.

Shortly after the post was uploaded to the social network on Thursday, investigators confirmed a multiple homicide involving relatives had taken place at two different residences in the province. Police immediately surrounded one of the homes and tried to speak to a man inside. They then fired gas grenades into the house, which caught fire and exploded into flames.

Janzen is believed to have killed himself during the police standoff. His family’s photos are below:

New Jersey woman finds out her Twins are born to different Dads after a DNA test

The man from whom the twins’ mother sought child support has to pay for only one of the children, a judge ruled.

A woman in New Jersey only discovered that her twins have different fathers after she had DNA testing done to establish paternity when the children were 20 months old.

Hence the man she took to court as the father of her twins has been told to pay child support to only one twin after a judge found those twins have two different fathers.

The ruling came after a woman asked for child support for her twins. However, according to court documents, DNA testing determined the man originally cited as the children’s father was actually only the biological father of one of them.

Because of that, Passaic County Superior Court Judge Sohail Mohammed ruled in family court on May 4 that the unnamed defendant would have to pay child support for the twin he fathered, and he dismissed the unnamed mother’s claim for support of the other child.

Dr. Brooke Rossi, an obstetrician and gynecologist at University Hospitals McDonald’s Women’s Hospital in Cleveland, said while rare, having twins from different fathers can occur naturally.

The phenomenon can occur when a woman produces two eggs during her fertility cycle instead of one, and they can become fertilized and implant within a few days of the same cycle.

“The sperm live in the genital tract for two days,” Rossi said. “It’s possible a woman can have sex with a man on a Tuesday and have sex with a different man on Wednesday, and it is possible for [her] to get pregnant,” with twins.

The rare phenomenon is called heteropaternal superfecundation in medical literature. An estimated one in 13,000 paternity cases involves twins with different fathers, according to a 1997 medical journal cited in the court ruling.

Rossi said because fertilization would happen so close together, the fetuses would be the same gestational age and would be expected to be born without any related health complications.

In the New Jersey case, according to the court documents, the mother of the twins said in court she had sex with two different men around the time she conceived. However, she gave just one name in her petition for child support.

While it’s been a known phenomenon since the 1970s, according to court documents, there have been just two other reported legal cases of twins with different fathers in the U.S.
