  1. For Sudeep Choudhury, work on merchant ships promised adventure and a better life. But a voyage on an oil tanker in West Africa, in dangerous seas far from home, would turn the young graduate's life upside down. His fate would come to depend on a band of drug-fuelled jungle pirates - and the whims of a mysterious figure called The King. The MT Apecus dropped anchor off Nigeria's Bonny Island shortly after sunrise. Sudeep Choudhury was at the end of a draining shift on deck. Looking towards land, he could make out dozens of other ships. On the shoreline beyond them, a column of white oil storage tanks rose out of the ground like giants. He had breakfast and then made two phone calls. One to his parents - he knew they worried about him, their only child - and one to his fiancee, Bhagyashree. He told her that everything was going to plan and that he would call her again later that day. He then clambered into bed for a sleep. It was 19 April, 2019. The small, ageing oil tanker and its crew of 15 had spent two days sailing south from the port of Lagos to the Niger Delta, where oil was discovered in the 1950s by Dutch and British businessmen seeking a swift fortune. Although he knew that vicious pirates roamed the labyrinthine wetlands and mangroves of the delta, Sudeep felt safe that tropical South Atlantic morning. Nigerian navy boats were patrolling and the Apecus was moored just outside Bonny, seven nautical miles from land, waiting for permission to enter port. The warm waters of the Gulf of Guinea, which lap across the coastline of seven West African nations, are the most dangerous in the world. It used to be Somalia, but now this area is the epicentre of modern sea piracy. Of all the seafarers held for ransom globally last year, some 90% were taken here. Sixty-four people were seized from six ships in just the last three months of 2019, according to the International Maritime Bureau, which tracks such incidents. Many more attacks may have gone unreported. The bountiful oil found here could have made the people of the delta rich, but for most it has been a curse. Spills have poisoned the water and the land, and a fight over the spoils of the industry has fuelled violent crime and conflict for decades. In the villages above the pipelines that have netted billions for the Nigerian government and international oil companies, life expectancy is about 45 years. Militant groups with comic book names like the Niger Delta Avengers have blown up pipelines and crippled production to demand the redistribution of wealth and resources. Oil thieves siphon off thick black crude and process it in makeshift refineries hidden in the forest. The level of violence in the delta ebbs and flows - but the threat is always there.
  2. A man has died after a water buffalo attacked three people at a commercial property. The 57-year-old man was pronounced dead at the scene, after police officers were called to the address at Gwehelog, near Usk, Monmouthshire. A man, 19, was also critically injured and taken to Cardiff's University Hospital of Wales by air ambulance. A woman, 22, suffered a serious leg injury and is being treated at Newport's Royal Gwent Hospital. Gwent Police said they were called to the property at about 14:50 BST on Tuesday and received support from the National Police Air Service. The water buffalo has been destroyed. A neighbour said the herd were a familiar sight on the farm and were often seen in the fields with the horses. They added the buffalo always appeared to be quite quiet, and that the owners had been seen stroking them.

  3. Hello guys ! I would like to present you a fast browser especially for GAMERS which does not consume many resources like (FireFox,Google Chrome etc etc) I use it when I play GO, and I listen to music on YouTube on it, it does its job very well. What's more important is that it has added an ad-block that does not let any ads on a site run, the loading speed increases as well. In my opinion it is the fastest and more good for GAMERS , besides all this it is also the most secure. SS WITH THE BROWSER : CLICK HERE FOR BROWSER There is showing : 785 BLOCKED ADS & TRACKS 45 HTTPS Updates and the last one: it saved 40 seconds of charging time

  5. The UK provided more than 122,000 coronavirus tests on the last day of April, passing the government's target, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said. Mr Hancock said the target of 100,000 tests per day was an "audacious goal", but testing was necessary "for getting Britain back on her feet". The figure includes home test kits counted when they were dispatched, which may not yet have been taken. Mr Hancock set the goal on 2 April, when the UK was on 10,000 tests a day. Some 27,510 people have now died in UK hospitals, care homes and the wider community after testing positive for coronavirus. Why did the UK need 100,000 tests a day? Of the 122,347 tests provided in the 24 hours up to Friday morning, the number of people tested was fewer - at just over 70,000 - as has been the case since the testing programme began. This is because some people need to be tested more than once to get a reliable result. The total testing figure includes 27,497 kits which were delivered to people's homes and also 12,872 tests that were sent out to centres such as hospitals and NHS sites. However, these may not have been actually used or sent back to a lab. Labour's shadow health secretary Jonathan Ashworth suggested the government had been misleading. "This isn't a time for quibbling but actually 39,000 of these tests have simply been posted out so it's not quite that the government have hit their commitment," he told the BBC News channel. "I don't think posting out the tests is the same as carrying out tests but nonetheless it is welcome that testing has increased." Prior to 28 April, there was no reference to how tests were counted, but on 28 April guidance on the government website said home tests and satellite tests were being included. At the daily Downing Street briefing, Prof John Newton - a scientist advising the government on testing - said there had been "no change to the way tests are counted". *BBC*

  14. US President Donald Trump has taken a victory lap one day after his impeachment acquittal, in a White House tirade against his political enemies. "I've done things wrong in my life, I will admit... but this is what the end result is," he said as he held up a newspaper headlined "Trump acquitted". "We went through hell, unfairly. We did nothing wrong," he said at the White House. "It was evil, it was corrupt." He earlier criticised impeachment foes who invoked their religious faith. "Now we have that gorgeous word. I never thought it would sound so good," Mr Trump said from the East Room, which was crammed with supporters and cabinet officials. "It's called 'total acquittal'." Mr Trump was impeached by the House of Representatives in December for abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, but was acquitted on Wednesday after a two-week trial in the Republican-controlled Senate, which did not include any witnesses. Mr Trump also used a swear word to describe the justice department inquiry into whether his 2016 election campaign had colluded with the Kremlin. "It was all bullshit," he said. "This should never happen to another president ever." *bbc*
  15. A man shot dead by police after he stabbed people in south London had been released from prison in January. Sudesh Amman, 20, was released around a week ago after serving half of his sentence of three years and four months for terror offences. He was under active police surveillance at the time of the attack on Streatham High Road, which police believe to be an Islamist-related terrorist incident. Three people were injured, with one person in a life-threatening condition. Prime Minister Boris Johnson said the government would announce further plans for "fundamental changes to the system for dealing with those convicted of terrorism offences" on Monday. He said the government had moved quickly to introduce measures strengthening its response to terrorism, including longer prison sentences and more money for police, following the attack at Fishmongers Hall, near London Bridge, in December. Gunshots were heard on Streatham High Road just after 14:00 GMT on Sunday. Reports suggest Amman entered a shop and started stabbing people. It appears he then left the shop and stabbed a woman. Witnesses reported hearing three gun shots and seeing a man lying on the ground outside a Boots pharmacy, as armed police approached and shouted at those nearby to move back. He had a hoax device strapped to his body, police said. The BBC's Daniel Sandford said the events appeared to unfold after witnesses saw an unmarked police car pull in front of another car near Streatham Common, forcing it to stop. He said this could be linked to the subsequent stabbings and police shooting and it was possible somebody was stopped, before being followed by undercover officers. London Ambulance Service said it treated the three people for injuries at the scene and all were taken to hospital. Of the other two, one had minor injuries, believed to have been caused by glass following shots from the police firearm, and the third person's condition was not life-threatening. In a statement, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Lucy D'Orsi said armed officers were in "immediate attendance" and shot a male suspect, as part of a "proactive Counter Terrorism operation". The situation has been contained and officers from the Met's Counter Terrorism Command are now leading an investigation into the incident, she said. Streatham High Road remains closed and a cordon is in place, with enhanced police patrols in the area. *bbc*

  20. US President Donald Trump has presented his long-awaited Middle East peace plan, promising to keep Jerusalem as Israel's undivided capital. He proposed an independent Palestinian state and the recognition of Israeli sovereignty over West Bank settlements. Standing alongside Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, Mr Trump said his proposals "could be the last opportunity" for Palestinians. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed the plans as a "conspiracy". "I say to Trump and Netanyahu: Jerusalem is not for sale, all our rights are not for sale and are not for bargain. And your deal, the conspiracy, will not pass," he said in a televised address from Ramallah in the West Bank. The blueprint, which aims to solve one of the world's longest-running conflicts, was drafted under the stewardship of President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner. Thousands of Palestinians protested in the Gaza Strip earlier on Tuesday, while the Israeli military deployed reinforcements in the occupied West Bank. The joint announcement came as both Mr Trump and Mr Netanyahu faced political challenges at home. Mr Trump is the subject of an impeachment trial in the US Senate while the Israeli PM on Tuesday dropped his bid for immunity on corruption charges. Both men deny any wrongdoing. David Friedman, the US ambassador to Israel, said that the timing of the announcement was not tied to any political development, adding it had been "fully baked" for some time.
