When deadly tornadoes hit US state, woman claims 'superman' saved her life

<p>Numerous fake websites are present on the web. Some fleece money, while some steal information. There is hardly any law-abiding fake website. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>Well, truly, there is one, called Rent-A-Hitman. It has been helping the authorities in turning in people, who have been looking to get someone killed by renting an assassin. &nbsp;</p>

Fake hitman website turns US woman to authorities for looking to get ex-husband killed

<p>China's e-commerce company Alibaba has fired a woman for spreading 'falsehoods' which was damaging the company's reputation. The woman's lawyer has confirmed her dismissal to the New York Times.</p>

<p>Speaking to government-backed newspaper Dahe Daily, the woman told that she was fired late last month after being given a termination&nbsp;letter. It accused the woman of spreading fake information about the assault and the company not taking an action. The letter mentioned that it "caused strong social concern and had a bad impact on the company".</p>

<p>The woman claimed that a colleague and a client had sexually assaulted her. In August, the woman went public with these allegations as she claimed that the company had failed to take the required action. She posted a long PDF document alleging she was sexually assaulted by her boss and a client. The post went viral on China's microblogging website.</p>

<p>The woman further alleged that her boss had forced her to go to Jinan on a business trip with him while revealing that&nbsp;CCTV footage&nbsp;she had got from the hotel showed her boss had entered the room four times in the evening.</p>

<p>The colleague was fired but the criminal case against him was dropped. According to a report by BBC, the client is still under police investigation.</p>

Fellow islander reunites woman with wedding ring lost 50 years ago after three-day search  

<p>In a bizarre move, a US county school admin seems to have charged an exorbitant fee of $36,000 from a woman to provide information on sexual assault and rape. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Now, the parent, Michelle Mege, has filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the Loudon County Public School District. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>In the district, the mother wanted to search for any kind of communication, such as press releases, statements or emails, that used the words "sexual assault" or "rape" from May 1 to October 18 this year. &nbsp;</p>

<p>According to an official of the school, the exorbitant fee needed to review documents derived from the hourly rate of around $72.15. &nbsp;</p>

<p>In what is being considered a ground-breaking ruling, a 20-year-old woman, Evie Toombes, who sued her mother's general practitioner claiming that she should never have been born has now won millions in damages.</p>

<p>Toombes is a para-showjumping star in Lincolnshire who suffers from spina bifida since birth. Under this condition, the patient suffers from a gap in the spine as it fails to develop in the womb.</p>

<p>Evie launched a "wrongful conception" case against her mother's doctor as she claimed that her mother's doctor, Dr Philip Mitchell failed to prescribe her vital supplements which led to her condition.&nbsp;She claims that Philip failed to tell her to take folic acid during pregnancy.</p>

<p>Judge Rosalind Coe QC ruled that if Evie's mother, Caroline, had been given the correct advice then she would have avoided her attempts to conceive. Following this, there would have been later conception resulting in a normal healthy child. &nbsp;</p>

<p>"In the circumstances, I find that Mrs Toombes was not pregnant at the time of the consultation with Dr Mitchell," she said in her judgment.</p>

<p>'In the circumstances, there would have been a later conception, which would have resulted in a normal healthy child. I, therefore, find that the claimant's claim succeeds on liability," she added.</p>

<p>Dr Philip Mitchell denies liability and claims that he gave Caroline 'reasonable advice.'&nbsp;</p>

<p>Her mother said, ''He told me it was not necessary. I was advised that if I had a good diet previously, I would not have to take folic acid.''</p>

<p>Evie had to spend some days connected to tubes for up to 24-hours-a-day because of her condition.</p>

Rumeysa Gelgi from Turkey becomes the tallest living woman in the world with a height of 215.16cm (7ft 0.7in). Rumeysa was re-measured this year after she was first awarded the title for the tallest teenager living (female) back in 2014 when she was aged 18.

Rumeysa mostly uses a wheelchair but can move for short periods using a walker.

Turkey’s 24-year-old Rumeysa Gelgi titled as tallest woman living

<p>Amid thrillers, biopics, and dramas that release each week on the big screen and OTT, the heart yearns to watch a feel-good love story. The good old fashion story where the boy meets a girl, falls in love, separates briefly due to some misunderstanding and eventually reunites for eternity. Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine's&nbsp;<em>The Idea Of You</em> ticks most boxes of a quintessential rom-com but then takes it a notch higher addressing middle-aged women and their desires in the most effective way possible.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Helmed by Michael Showalter, <em>The Idea Of You</em> is breezy enough for you to enjoy the leads falling in love but also deep dives into the dangerous side effects of the paparazzi culture, societal prejudices and more which makes the film slightly different and not as casual as a romantic comedy perceives to be.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Anne Hathaway plays Solene, an LA-based art gallery owner who reluctantly takes her 16-year-old daughter and her pals to Coachella for a meet-and-greet event with popular band August Moon. Solene's ex-husband has paid for the meet-and-greet but has bailed out. At Coachella, Solene meets Hayes (Galitzine), unaware that he is the lead singer of August Moon. Hayes is enamoured by Solene. She finds herself being drawn to him&nbsp;but hesitates initially because he is 24 and she is 40 and he is the crush of millions of teenagers.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
Hayes, an emotionally complex but kind and gentle man, is unassuming about his celebrity status. He pursues and charms his way to Solene's heart and the two embark on what seems like a summer romance initially with Solene travelling with Hayes as his 'Art Consultant' as he and his band tour Europe.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
As the paparazzi get to know, the couple is followed and photos of their romance are splashed across various tabloids.&nbsp;Solene gets labelled not Hayes. From being called a cougar to being targeted for her age and looks, the internet and society at large come down harshly on the woman while calling the man the victim. As one of Solene's friend rightly points out, "People hate happy women," the society is quick to make judgements about her integrity and character, Solene initially makes peace with it and puts her happiness first. And Hayes gives her happiness but later the dynamics change when Solene's daughter Izzy starts getting affected.&nbsp;</p>

<br />
Based on a novel of the same name by Robinne Lee, <em>The Idea Of You </em>has 40-year-old single mother taking the centre stage where she lives an unapologetic life. Even though bitter about her ex-husband cheating on her, Solene is someone who has moved on and made her teenage daughter her best friend while&nbsp;finding solace in her work. Love happens by chance for her and she fights back thinking of society and its norms. But as she finds herself drawn deeply to a much younger man, she realises the hypocritical nature of the society that she has been afraid of all this while.</p>

<p>Tunisian President Kais Saied named Najla Bouden Romdhane, a little-known university engineer with World Bank experience, as prime minister on Wednesday (September 29) nearly two months after he seized most powers in a move his foes call a coup.</p>

<p>Najla Bouden Romdhane, Tunisia's first woman prime minister, will take office at a moment of crisis, with the democratic gains won in a 2011 revolution in doubt and as a major threat looms to public finances.</p>

<p>A geological engineer, Romdhane was responsible for implementing World Bank projects at the education ministry, but she has little experience of government.</p>

<p>Speaking in a video published online, Saied said her appointment honored Tunisian women and asked her to propose a cabinet in the coming hours or days "because we have lost a lot of time."</p>

<p>The new government should respond to the demands and dignity of Tunisians in all fields, including health, transport and education, he added.</p>

<p>Saied dismissed the previous prime minister, suspended parliament and assumed wide executive powers in July and has been under growing domestic and international pressure to form a new government.</p>

<p>Last week he brushed aside much of the constitution, saying he could rule by decree and control the government himself, during an emergency period that has no defined endpoint.</p>

<p>Tunisia faces a rapidly looming crisis in public finances after years of economic stagnation were aggravated by the coronavirus pandemic and political infighting. Government bonds are under pressure and the cost of insuring against their default has hit a record high.</p>

<p>The new government will have to move very quickly to seek financial support for the budget and debt repayments after Saied's power grab in July put talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on hold.</p>

<p>However, after Saied's announcement last week that the government will be responsible to the president and that he can select or sack cabinet ministers, the role of prime minister will be less important than in previous administrations.</p>

<p>Most of Tunisia's previous political elite, including most parties in the suspended parliament, have said they oppose Saied's power grab.</p>

Najla Bouden Romdhane, Tunisia's first woman prime minister, will take office at a moment of crisis, with the democratic gains won in a 2011 revolution in doubt and as a major threat looms to public finances. A geological engineer, Romdhane was responsible for implementing World Bank projects at the education ministry, but she has little experience of government. Speaking in a video published online, Saied said her appointment honored Tunisian women and asked her to propose a cabinet in the coming hours or days "because we have lost a lot of time." The new government should respond to the demands and dignity of Tunisians in all fields, including health, transport and education, he added. Saied dismissed the previous prime minister, suspended parliament and assumed wide executive powers in July and has been under growing domestic and international pressure to form a new government. Last week he brushed aside much of the constitution, saying he could rule by decree and control the government himself, during an emergency period that has no defined endpoint. Tunisia faces a rapidly looming crisis in public finances after years of economic stagnation were aggravated by the coronavirus pandemic and political infighting. Government bonds are under pressure and the cost of insuring against their default has hit a record high. The new government will have to move very quickly to seek financial support for the budget and debt repayments after Saied's power grab in July put talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on hold. However, after Saied's announcement last week that the government will be responsible to the president and that he can select or sack cabinet ministers, the role of prime minister will be less important than in previous administrations. Most of Tunisia's previous political elite, including most parties in the suspended parliament, have said they oppose Saied's power grab.

Tunisia leader picks first woman as PM at moment of crisis

<p>An elected county prosecutor in Pennsylvania who was charged Wednesday with rape in connection with an attack on a woman in her home left the residence only after she promised not to call the police, authorities said.</p>

<p>The Pennsylvania State Police said the Somerset County district attorney, Jeffrey L. Thomas, was charged with rape, indecent and simple assault, strangulation and criminal trespass in connection with the Sept. 18 attack in Windber, a borough that is about two hours east of Pittsburgh.</p>

<p>Thomas, 36, a Republican, was elected district attorney in 2019. His lawyer, Ryan Tutera, and a woman who answered the phone at the district attorney’s office Friday declined to comment on whether Thomas would step down.</p>

<p>A State Police report said Thomas used Snapchat to message the woman, who was not identified, and told her that he would be at her home in a few minutes. She responded that he was not welcome in her home and he entered “by subterfuge,” carrying several cans of beer, the report said.</p>

<p>He handed her an opened can of beer, and when he did not leave as she told him to, she slapped him, the police report said. Thomas struck her face, causing her nose to bleed. He then pulled down her sports bra and choked her before biting her breasts and raping her, the report said.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/us-gunman-in-deadly-mass-shooting-at-kroger-in-tennessee-identified-as-29-year-old-store-vendor-415830"><strong>Also read |&nbsp;US: Gunman in deadly mass shooting at Kroger in Tennessee, identified as 29-year-old store vendor</strong></a></p>

<p>He grabbed the woman by her neck and hair and asked whether she was going to call the police, the report said. He eventually left only after she said she would not call the police, according to the report.</p>

<p>The police said that Thomas had known the woman for years “in a professional capacity,” and that he had repeatedly contacted her “to initiate a sexual relationship,” which she declined. Thomas had arrived at her house on a previous occasion and walked in uninvited and would also “routinely drive around her residence,” the police report said.</p>

<p>Josh Shapiro, the Pennsylvania attorney general, said in a statement that the charges against Thomas were “deeply disturbing,” adding that “today is a reminder that no one is above the law.”</p>

<p>He also commended the woman for being brave enough to come forward. “That is never an easy thing to do, especially when your abuser is a powerful elected official,” he said.</p>

<p>The court proceedings may be unusual as the plaintiff, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, was set to be represented by the Somerset County district attorney’s office, which Thomas led.</p>

<p>Tutera said Friday that all of the county’s magistrate judges would recuse themselves because of their previous work with Thomas’ office, and that the state might appoint a judge. Thomas had a preliminary hearing scheduled for Sept. 29, but Tutera said it would very likely be postponed.</p>

<p>Tutera said the woman drank beer and smoked marijuana with Thomas in her home, adding, “I think that there’s more to this story than meets the eye.” Thomas was released from jail Thursday morning after posting $5,000 bail, Tutera said.</p>

<p>In October 2020, Thomas was cited in Cambria County, which is north of Somerset County, for disorderly conduct and harassment, WJAC-TV reported.</p>

<p>He used obscene language at a pizza restaurant and later threatened to “engage in a physical altercation” at a gymnastics gym, the television station reported. The status of those citations was not immediately available Friday.</p>

<p>“Just because I am an elected official, I’m not supposed to get upset that my 5-year-old daughter’s birthday party gets screwed up,” he told the station in response to the citations. “That’s ridiculous.”</p>

<p>This is the second time this year that a Pennsylvania district attorney has been accused of sexual assault. In February, Chad M. Salsman, who was the district attorney in Bradford County, was accused of sexually assaulting clients from his private practice before he was elected district attorney in 2019. He pleaded guilty to some of the charges and resigned in May of this year, and was sentenced in July to 18 months to five years in prison.</p>

<p>Amid chaos triggered by Taliban’s takeover of Afghanistan, evacuees finally got a reason to smile when an Afghan mother delivered a baby girl aboard a US military evacuation flight, moments after touching down at Ramstein Air Base in Germany on Saturday, said the US Air Force on its social media account. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The US Air Mobility Command said in a tweet on Sunday, “The woman went into labour aboard a C-17 transport aircraft during the second leg of her journey fleeing the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. The flight was from a staging base in the Middle East to the large US air base in Germany.” &nbsp;</p>

<p>When the aircraft was at its flight altitude, above 28,000 feet (8,534 meters), the mother began to have complications due to the lower air pressure in the plane, the US Air Force said. &nbsp;</p>

<p>On Twitter, US Air Mobility Command added, "The aircraft commander decided to descend in altitude to increase air pressure in the aircraft, which helped stabilise and save the mother's life." &nbsp;</p>

<p>After the plane was on the ground at Ramstein base, Air Force's 86th Medical Group personnel assisted in the delivery of the baby in the C-17's cargo bay. The mother and baby were then transported to a nearby medical facility. They are now in good condition.&nbsp;</p>

In what brings to light the rising violence against women in Pakistan, a case has been registered by police in Lahore on Tuesday against hundreds of unidentified persons for assaulting and stealing from a woman and her companions at the city's Greater Iqbal Park on August 14, the Independence Day.

In what brings to light the rising violence against women in Pakistan, a case has been registered by police in Lahore on Tuesday against hundreds of unidentified persons for assaulting and stealing from a woman and her companions at the city's Greater Iqbal Park on August 14, the Independence Day. The incident also raises several questions over women’s freedom and safety in Pakistan. The woman has been identified as a TikToker. Netizens have also reacted with rage to a video of the incident, which was being circulated on social media. The first information report (FIR) has been registered at the Lorry Adda police station, a Dawn report said. In the FIR, the complainant shared that she and her six companions were attacked by around 300 to 400 people while filming a video near Minar-e-Pakistan on Independence Day. The woman and her companions made several efforts to avert the crowd but to no avail. "People were pushing and pulling me to the extent that they tore my clothes. Several people tried to help me but the crowd was too huge and they kept throwing me in the air," she said. Her companions were also assaulted while her ring and earrings were "forcibly taken" along with a mobile phone of one of her companions, his identity card and Rs 15,000 that he had with him, the woman said. Pakistani politicians and celebrities have slammed the incident. Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Chairman, PPP tweeted: "The assault of a young women by a mob at #minarepakistan should shame every Pakistani.
