Saudi Arabia on Sunday beheaded a convicted murderer, bringing to five the number of people executed since new King Salman took office, continuing the kingdom’s use of the harshest punishment. Abdelrahman al-Jahni, a Saudi, was convicted of shooting another man dead during a dispute, the interior ministry said in a statement carried by the official Saudi Press Agency. The sentence was carried out in the holy city of Medina. According to an AFP tally, Jahni is the latest of 17 locals and foreigners to be executed this year. Five have been beheaded since King Salman took office on January 23 after the death of his predecessor Abdullah. The interior ministry says the death penalty in such cases reflects the government’s commitment to “maintaining security, realising justice”. But the kingdom has faced constant international criticism over its human rights record, including the use of the death penalty. Under Abdullah, the number of executions jumped from 27 in 2010 to around 80 a

Y'all wondering if this can be true?. Of course!, it is so true according to researchers. See what UK mail got on it. Chewing gum has been found to remove harmful bacteria from mouths, according to a study. Researchers found that just a single piece of chewing gum can remove 100 million bacteria - 10 per cent of the microbial loadin saliva - in ten minutes. And they say that gum can be just as effective as flossing - although they each targets different areas of the mouth. The study, which appeared in the journal Plos One, was led by researchers from the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. They found that the gum was most effective in the first 30 seconds of chewing, and after that it would become less effective in trapping bacteria on a sliding scale. Also, they note that only gum that did not contain sugar was useful; if it did contain sugar, it could ‘feed’ oral bacteria. In one of their experiments, known numbers of bacteria were finger-chewed into the mouths o

The planned flogging of a Saudi blogger convicted of insulting Islam has been delayed for a second straight week, a leading international rights group has said, a move that comes amid mounting pressure from Saudi Arabia’s Western allies for authorities to cancel the punishment. The London-based Amnesty International said on Thursday that about eight doctors carried out medical tests on Raif Badawi, 31, and recommended that he not be flogged this Friday. Saudi authorities postponed his flogging last week after a doctor concluded that his wounds from the first 50 lashes had not yet healed, according to Amnesty. His public flogging on January 9 in the city of Jeddah led to an outpouring of international condemnation. Both the US State Department and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights called on authorities to rescind the punishment. Sweden’s Foreign Ministry summoned Saudi Arabia’s charge d’affaires on Monday to protest against the flogging.Badawi was arrested in 2012 after writ

Nine dogs have been found abandoned in such a poor state they were unable to see or stand properly. The nine animals were found in such a poor state - with long matted fur covering their faces - that at first RSPCA officers in Winchester didn't even realise they were dogs. The pets were found across the city yesterday, Each dog took around three hours to shave. Winchester City Council's senior animal welfare officer, Dave Griffiths, said: 'In my 25 years of being in this line of work I've never seen anything like it.''My guess is that the puppies were mistreated all their lives and have always been in awful conditions. 'I suspect they have been keeping them in an outside outhouse or a shed.'I certainly think they were kept outside in a building of some sort.'I can't understand how someone would let it get to that extent. To let a dog get to that stage is something I have never seen before. 'The mum is very people shy and she was in a ver

Violent protests have erupted in parts of the world over the latest issue of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. While there have also been largely peaceful protests, authorities from Africa to the Middle East are seeing clashes in the streets — and seeking ways to tamp down the uproar among Muslims furious over depictions of the Prophet Mohammed. The deadliest violence has been in Niger, where authorities report 10 people killed. Churches and homes have been destroyed, the government said in a statement. AFP, the France-based news wire service, said police reported that 173 people have been injured; at least 45 churches have been “set ablaze in the capital (Niamey) alone,” and a “Christian school and orphanage were also set alight.” Numerous sites were pillaged before being burned. Video from Niamey showed protesters waving Qurans and yelling “God is great” while tearing apart Bibles and throwing them onto the ground. A bar owned by people from France could also b

A Kenyan school bus driver has died after drinking a 'truth potion' brewed by a witch doctor to prove he had not stolen books. School directors in a village in Kisii County hired the witch doctor to seek out the thief of school books, with the driver volunteering to drink the potion to prove he was innocent. 'The driver was dared... to prove his innocence by drinking the mixture,' local police chief Simon Kiragu told the Daily Nation newspaper. 'The 33-year old collapsed and died immediately after the drink.' Furious villagers then took revenge on school leaders by torching the school bus and the deputy director's house. Reports of death relating to witchcraft in Kenya are reasonably common and the bus driver's death comes 10 days after villagers were reported to have spent a day waiting for a witch doctor to bring a corpse back to life. Furious Kenyan villagers said they wasted a day waiting for him to resurrect the body after he claimed to have

Spanish TV presenter, Lucia Villalon just days after ending his relationship with former girlfriend. The 29-year-old sports star, who split from model, Irina Shayk over the Christmas period, has been linked with the brunette beauty by Spanish newspapers after they were seen together at the recent FIFA World Player of the Year event in Zurich, where Ronaldo collected the prestigious award. Neither the Real Madrid player nor Lucia – a law and journalism graduate – has responded to the rumours, which surfaced shortly after Ronaldo’s ex-girlfriend denied that their split was caused by a family feud. Last week, it was claimed that Ronaldo dumped Irina because she refused to attend a 60th birthday party he was organising for his mother, Dolores. However, a spokesperson for the model-and- actress has refuted those claims, saying: ‘She has been very close to his family throughout their relationship. ‘Any negative rumours about Irina’s and Ronaldo’s family are completely false and have
