Man Who Punched 5-Day-Old Baby In The Face Tells Court He Thought She Was A Toy.

A MAN who punched a newborn baby in the face has insisted that he thought the infant was a doll – but admitted that his actions were “bizarre”.

David Hardy approached five-day-old Elsie Temple as she lay in her carry cot inside a shopping trolley, thumping her as the baby’s mother Amy Duckers looked on in horror.
‎The 63-year-old man, from Baguley, Greater Manchester, left the baby Elsie Temple in tears and with a red mark to her face.

Hardy yesterday faced court, keeping his head down as his lawyer Chris Fallows tried to defend his client, telling the Manchester magistrates court: “This is an extremely unusual case.

“This defendant (is) effectively a family man who has young children in the family and does not behave in a way that is suggested to this allegation.”

‎Mr Fallows said: “The crown suggest Mr Hardy deliberately punched a five day old baby to the face in a carry cot in a shopping trolley. The defendant says he believed – and this belief was prior to the incident – that he thought it was a doll.”

He said that the man’s claims that he thought the baby was a doll was backed up by statements given by witnesses to the incident with the man also claiming he told the young child standing next to the shopping trolley.

Mr Fallows said: “After the incident the defendant, who has never been in trouble before, had news reporters arrive at his door. He was hung, drawn and quartered on social media and in the comments on news reports.

“It is conceded by the defendant that what occurred was unusual, bizarre and he acted rather foolishly. The prosecution suggest that this was intentional.”
‎The court date had been moved forward to today, the eve of Hardy’s 64th birthday, at the request of his lawyers.

Mr Fallows said: “This defendant has been on the verge of suicide and his family will have to go through evidence which is already in their statements. I asked for this case to be moved forwards because Mr Hardy wants it dealt with as quickly as possible.”

Hardy has admitted to throwing the punch but pleaded not guilty to charge of common assault saying he had no intention of hitting a baby. He will face a trial at the JPs court next month.

The baby’s family had been shopping for their dinner about 6pm on September, with the incident unfolding when they saw a neighbour who worked there.
The neighbour called over a friend who had been shopping with her husband – and as she did so the man rushed over and punched Elsie in the face.

Hardy was bailed on condition he does not go to Tescos in Baguley and was told he cannot have unsupervised contact with children under the age of 18. He also cannot contact Elsie’s mother and father.

Top 10 Most Expensive Police Cars in the World.

Do you know what it takes to catch a criminal? A fast police car, that’s what! Remember being a kid and playing around with those remote-controlled, battery-operated cop car toysthat light up and sound off a cute little siren? Well, modern police vehicles are a world away from what they used to be. And rightly so, since criminals are getting faster and smarter! Here are some serious toys for boys who love to speed down the highway at the speed of light. These cars seem to have been specifically made for engaging in legendary car chases – truly, they are the stuff that car movies are made of. In fact, it might seriously be worth a career change so as to realize the dream of driving one of these speed sleek machines, on a daily basis.


10. Corvette C7 (Germany)- 181 mph 291 kmh $70,000.

Unveiled at the Essen 2015 Motor show, this car is all about performance and style. The German Federal Ministry of Transport and the Association of Automobile Tuners built this one-off Corvette for German Police. The car features a sleek carbon fiber body which includes a front lip spoiler, side skirts, extended front and rearwheel fenders as well as a rear spoiler. Kitted with General Motors’ new 6.2-liter V8 engine, this vehicle can clock more than 460hp power and 464 lb-ft of torque. The C7’s seven-speed automatic transmission will allow cops in Germany to go from zero to 62mph in just over 4 seconds, reaching its top speed of 180 Mph.


9. Nissan GTR (UAE) – 196 mph / 315 kmh $100,000.

The Dubai Police have an impressive stable of law enforcement vehicles, which includes the number nine car on our list – the Nissan GT-R. Outrunning the Police in this Emirati state is no mean feat. This 2-door 2+2 sports car was unveiled by Nissan, in 2007. It is a four-wheel drive with a twin-turbo 6 cylinder engine and feature’s Nissan’s signature four round tail lights. The car looks great, painted in the colours of the United Arab Emirates’ flag and it is entirely standard apart from the addition of a siren system. This gives the Dubai Police an added edge in tackling crime, the fast way, with a 478bhp at 6400rpm, 434lb ft of torque at 3200 rpm and the ability to go from zero to 60mph, in just under 4 seconds – 3.8 seconds, if you’re counting!


8. Porsche 911 (Australia) 186 mph / 289 kmh- $110,000.

Despite being kitted with red and blue LED roof lights and painted with Police signage, the sleek profile and structural curves of this unique car are unmistakable. The New South Wales Police has taken delivery of a brand-new Porsche 911 to assist them with their crime-fighting endeavours. While the legendary car goes from zero to 100 kmh in 4.8 seconds the main aim behind including this car in the NSW’s list of Police vehicles was not to chase after criminals along the highways down under. Rather, the Police thought that it would help build community relations with disadvantaged youths. In fact, the custom Police decals on the car were designed by students hailing from the area. The car is more of a publicity stunt and is expected to attend a large number of local events, where police officers will be able to interact with the public.


7. Audi R8 GTR (Germany) – 202 mph / 325 kmh $200,000.

Trust the German Police to have their very own super stealthy police car. Known as the PolizeiFahrzeug, the vehicle is based on the ABT Audi R8 GTR and is part of the German Tune it! Safe! campaign promoting, safe and serious car tuning. This high performance police car has been upgraded with a 640hp engine tune, 19-inch alloys, carbon ceramic brakes, sport exhaust and suspensions as well as a carbon-fiber aerodynamics kit and a roll bar. This German Police Audi features Polizei-spec paint scheme and official décor, in addition to Hella RTK-7 police roof lights. Not at all a car you’d want to try and outrun!


6. Lamborghini Huracan (Gallardo) (Italy) 203 mph / 326kmh $250,000.

Lamborghini generously donated two specially-modified Huracan LP 610-4 sports cars to Italy’s State Police. One can be seen patrolling the streets of the Italian capital Rome, and the other in Bologna. The Lamborghini Huracan was unveiled in the 2014 Geneva Motor Show and is the successor to the Gallardo. This stunning super-cop-car boasts a top speed of 325km/h (202mph) and has been equipped with the latest technology. The car incorporates a gun holster, radar and radio equipment, and a video-recording system, as well as a sealed refrigerated compartment in the trunk for transporting organs. A defibrillator is also available on board. Motorists’ legal infractions can be reviewed on a removable screen, which includes data overlay. The Italian State Police plans to put the car to good use in enhancing street security and fighting crime.


5. Ferrari FF (UAE) – 208 mph / 334 kmh $300,000.

Despite the green and white Emirati Police livery and the police lights on the roof, you can still tell that this is one of the most prestigious sports cars of the world. The United Arab Emirates has added this supercar to its stunning fleet of luxury police cars. The Italian-made Ferrari FF, has a V12 engine, which enables it to go from zero to 100kph in no more than 3.7 seconds. To make the backstory to this Ferrari police car, even more interesting, the Emirati Police have specified that they will only be driven by female police officers to patrol the busy tourist areas of the capital Dubai.


4. Lamborghini Aventador (UAE)- 217 mph / 349 kmh $450,000 USD.

In 2013, the Emirati state of Dubai’s added the Lamborghini Aventador to its fleet of law enforcement vehicles, to the envy of all sports car enthusiasts around the globe. Some have indeed commented that this is a deliberate gesture to confirm the emirate’s opulence and economic strength. On the other hand, the Emirates is known to be home to a number of high-wealth individuals, who typically have fast and expensive cars. So the law in Dubai may need to keep up with some pretty fast and flashy motor enthusiasts. The Aventador boasts a V12 engine, a maximum speed of 217mph and an acceleration which goes from zero to 60mph in a mere 2.9 seconds The car is however, used mostly as a PR and marketing prop, rather than a standard patrol car.


3. Bugatti Veyron (UAE) -253 mph / 407 kmh $1.6 Million.

One of the latest supercars to join the Dubai’s fleet of law enforcement vehicles is the Bugatti Veyron. This news really made the headlines in the Emirates, as well as all over the world, since the Veyron can reach up to 430 kph making it the fastest street-legal car in the world and certainly the fastest in the Dubai Police’s fleet. While the car retains a smooth, modern and elegant appearance, it houses a monstrous quad turbo, 16-cylinder engine, which enables it to produce over 1,000 horsepower and at $1.6 million apiece it has a price tag to match its power. The car, which is one of the most recognizable in the world, can accelerate to 100kph in a flash of 2.7 seconds.


2. Aston Martin One-77 (UAE) – 221 mph / 356 kmh $1.8 million USD.

The Emirati Police get a touch of Bond style, with an Aston Martin One-77 being added to their fleet of vehicles. The One-77 is aptly names for only having a limited run of 77 cars, each going for a cool $1.8 million. The super car boasts a carbon fiber-body with a top speed of 220 mph. The elegant sleek and powerful car is being used mainly as a deterrent for anyone foolish enough to even think of breaking the speed-limit. The Emirati Police’s One-77 will also be used as a PR prop, to promote tourism to Dubai.


1.And our favourite, LykanHyperSport (UAE)- 248 mph / 400km $3.4 Million.

By now you’ve gathered that the fleet of law enforcement vehicles in the Emirates is nothing short of jaw-dropping, record-breaking and show-stopping. Luxurious, exotic and impressive – the Emirates have spared no expense in flaunting their wealth. More so, anyone thinking of pulling a fast one on the Police there, is simply delusional. The wealthiest Police garage of the Middle East must be that of Abu Dhabi which already owned a Ferrari FF, a BMW M6 GranCoupe, a Bugatti Veyron, an Aston Martin One-77, a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, a Nissan GT-R, an Audi R8, as well as a Lamborghini Gallardo. However, they now also have one of the exclusive seven 770-horsepower LykanHyperSport cars. The ticket on this one rings to the tune of a whopping $3.4 million. The Lykan can go from zero to 100 km in 2.8 seconds. Impressive in looks and performance, this super car was featured as one of the leading cars in Fast and Furious 7.

Revealed: Suspect in two Texas killings and a kidnapping is an illegal Mexican immigrant who had already been deported THREE times.

A man accused of killing two strangers in Texas and kidnapping a third was living in the US illegally and had been deported three times back to Mexico, immigration officials revealed on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, Dallas County jail officials discovered the suspect initially identified as Silvestre Franco-Luviano was using one of his eight aliases.

The 40-year-old suspect's true identity is Juan Navarro Rios, said Dallas County sheriff's spokeswoman Melinda Urbina.

This jail booking photo provided by the Dallas County Sheriff's Department shows Juan Navarro Rios on September 28, 2016.

Navarro Rios is suspected of shooting Ruben Moreno in his car in southeastern Dallas and Welton Betts at a gas station in the Dallas suburb of Cedar Hill.

Standoff ends: A SWAT team apprehended Navarro Rios outside an apartment complex in suburban Dallas Tuesday evening.

The false identity was discovered as Navarro Rios was being booked into the Dallas County jail after his transfer from the Williamson County Jail in Georgetown.

He is accused of gunning down 23-year-old motorist Ruben Moreno in Dallas and 44-year-old Welton Betts at a gas station in nearby Cedar Hill in the course of a two-day rampage. Police have not released a motive for either killing, both of which occurred on Sunday night.

Criminal records had identified Navarro Rios over the years by some variation of Silvestre Franco-Luviano.

He was initially deported in June 1996 for a felony conviction, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement spokesman Carl Rusnok said Wednesday.

ICE declined to say what the felony conviction was, but court records show the Mexican national had a 1995 assault conviction in Dallas and a 1996 conviction for hindering prosecution.

Ruben Moreno, who was shot dead on Sunday.

Welton Betts, who was killed on Sunday.

Moreno was sitting in his Hummer (pictured) when he was shot to death during the crime spree.

Navarro Rios illegally returned to the US some time later and was again deported in October 2009 for re-entering by falsely claiming US citizenship, Rusnok said.

He again came back into the US and was prosecuted on vehicle burglary charges in Georgetown, Texas, in 2010 and 2011. He was deported in March 2014 after completing an eight-month prison sentence for re-entry after deportation, according to a statement Wednesday from ICE.

Documents obtained by Fox 4 News indicate that the illegal immigrant used a fake passport to travel between Mexico and the US 35 times.

Navarro Rios was arrested Tuesday after a standoff with the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force at his relatives' apartment in Georgetown, about 25 miles north of Austin, according to police.

Second crime scene: Welton Betts was pumping gas at this Texaco gas station when Navarro Rios allegedly shot him.

The suspect allegedly carjacked Bett's vehicle after forcing his wife, Gail (right), out of the passenger seat at gunpoint.

Austin-based writer Chris Walker posted video clips of the dramatic takedown, in which stun grenades were used, and tweeted: 'Suspect started fire and kicked hole through wall of adjoining apartment.'

He was transferred Wednesday from the Williamson County jail to the Dallas County jail after his arrest on a murder warrant in the death of Ruben Moreno, who was sitting in his Hummer when he was shot.

He's also a suspect in the carjacking death of Welton Betts, who was killed at a Texaco gas station in the suburb of Cedar Hill. Police say the gunman then fled in the victim's car after forcing his wife Gail out of the vehicle at gunpoint.

Georgetown Police Chief Wayne Nero said Navarro Rios was also a suspect in the abduction and robbery of a man who was doing landscaping work outside a Georgetown department store on Monday.

Alien: Officials say Navarro Rios, pictured in handcuffs after his arrest, was living in the US illegally and had been deported three times back to Mexico.

The victim of the kidnapping was later found unharmed at a gas station a mile away. 

At 5pm on Tuesday, police got a tip that Navarro Rios was holed up in his sister's apartment in Georgetown and sent in a SWAT team to apprehend him.

According to authorities, the fugitive set fire to his sister's home and broke through a wall to the unit next door. He was tackled and arrested as he ran out of the Parkview Place Apartments at around 7.30pm.

Navarro Rios is being held in Dallas County jail on $250,000 bond. ICE placed an immigration detainer on the suspect immediately after his arrest, meaning the agency is asking that he not be released. 

Woman with facial deformity so severe she couldn't EAT without hurting herself has life-changing surgery to reduce painful growth.

A woman whose facial growth became so enlarged that she would chew on her own skin while she ate has finally had the life changing surgery she dreamed of.

Starrina, from Arizona, appeared on last night's Botched By Nature where she hoped doctors would be able to help with her facial deformity.

After meeting their patient Doctors Paul Nassif and Terry Dubrow Starrina reveals that her that a previous doctor diagnosed her with a hemangioma.

Starrina had lived with her uncomfortable facial growth for decades which caused her to chew on her own skin while she ate. Pictured: Starrina before surgery.

However, the medical experts reveal some shocking news that in fact she has been misdiagnosed for 30 years. 

After appearing on Botched By Nature, Starrina has finally had the life changing surgery she needed to reduce her painful growth.

Upon examining Starrina, we can safely say that this is a misdiagnosis,' Dr Nassif says.He then explains that a hemangioma gets smaller as a person gets older and in Starrina's case, it has gotten larger, adding: 'This is a vascular malformation, blood just sits in there in pools.'

After correctly diagnosing her the doctors explained that the process of making her growth smaller would be done in two stages.

The first stage is embolization, where they inject foam into her growth to shrink up the blood vessels inside.

The second stage is surgery where the doctors will operate on the growth to try to make it smaller.

The doctors say that this is especially clear as a hemangioma gets smaller as a person gets older and in Starrina's case, it has gotten larger.

The dotors explain that surgery will be risky but Starrina is keen to go through with it.

After having the embolization, it's time for Starrina to have surgery. Dr Nassif explains that the operation comes with a risk.

He says: ' This is something that's very difficult there's a risk of injuring one of those nerves, bleeding, more scar formation.

'Not that anything we do is simple but in Starrina's case is exceptionally difficult and risky. We're really not going to know what's going on until we get in there.'

For the complicated surgery (pictured) Dr. Nassif brings in Dr. Greg Levitin, a 'super specialist' on vascular malformations.

However, Starrina is keen to try anything to try and reduce her growth. She says: 'It feels like my whole life I've waited for this opportunity and I'm just excited for the furture'.

In order to give Starrina the best outcome possible, Dr. Nassif brings in Dr. Greg Levitin, a 'super specialist' on vascular malformations.

For Starrina's surgery, Dr. Nassif explains: 'We are going to start by removing a triangular piece of tissue from her lower lip.

Next we will make incisions inside her mouth and begin conservatively removing as much of the abnormal mass as possible.

Starrina and her partner (pictured) are now looking forward to a bright future together.

Dr Nassif says: 'We took Starrina and improved her, it's not a two-month process when you try to cure something that has been accruing over 30 years.'

Terrifying moment a massive landslide triggered by Typhoon Megi devours a Chinese village as rescuers search for 26 swallowed by sea of mud.

As of Thursday morning local time, 13 people have been rescued, 26 remain missing and one person has been confirmed dead after a sea of mud devoured Sucun, a village of 37 houses in Suichang county in Zhejiang province, according to People's Daily Online.

A separate landslide, also triggered by rainstorms, crashed into a nearby village, leaving six residents missing.

Destroyed: Roughly 400,000 cubic meters of debris slid down the mountains and buried 20 households, said an official.

Kourtney Kardashian expecting baby with Scott Disick?.

Reality TV star Kourtney Kardashian is reportedly pregnant with on-and-off boyfriend Scott Disick's fourth child.

The "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" star's pregnancy is the reason why they have been spending a lot of time together, reported Radar Online.

Kardashian, 37, apparently "shocked the entire 'KUWTK' clan" when she dropped her "baby bombshell." A source said, "Kourtney wants a large family."

According to the source, the couple was totally back on during their recent trip to Miami.

A representative for Kourtney has not commented on the pregnancy rumors yet. She and Disick, 33, spent this past weekend together, though. The couple took their children to King's Fish House on Saturday and then to the movies on Sunday.

Siberian youth hangs over balcony to impress girl, falls 23 floors onto car — and lives.

A story of miraculous luck comes from the Siberian Times, which reported this week that one Alexander Shadrin, 16, fell some 230 feet onto the roof of a Renault and survived.

Had it been a sturdier vehicle, perhaps, or had he missed the car by a few inches, the outcome could have been far more tragic.

According to the paper, witnesses said the young man was trying “to impress a girl” by climbing over a balcony and hanging on to a railing in the city of Novosibirsk.

But he lost his grip and plummeted 23 floors.

Photographs show a badly damaged Renault Logan taxi, fortunately unoccupied, which was credited with saving his life.

He was reportedly conscious after the fall and said to be in stable condition at a hospital.

“The identities of the girl he was seeking to impress, and his relatives have not been made public,” said the Times.

“He has a bruised abdomen and lung, a tear in his liver and a broken shoulder. The guy was born under a lucky star. He is stable and conscious,” a Novosibirsk investigator, Anastasiya Kuleshova, told TASS.

Trevor Noah doesn’t care if he’s ‘making too many black jokes’.

It’s no secret that when SA-born comedian Trevor Noah took over the helm of the Daily Show from Jon Stewart a year ago not everyone supported the move.

Trevor was a ‘relatively unknown’ comedian from SA who represented a dawn of change for the show.

So it is not unusual that the comedian has received a fair amount of criticism as viewers get comfortable with his style of comedy.

Trevor‚ who celebrates one year on the show this week‚ spoke to US publication Vice about his journey this far.

During the interview Trevor opened up about the backlash he’s gotten and how he’s handled it.

“I always say‚ ‘It’s like I was playing in high school or college sports‚ and this is major league.’ You can prepare all you want‚ but you’re now in a completely different league with different criticisms‚ different competition‚ and different objectives. It changes everything‚’” he said.

Trevor said that when he joined the show one of the things on top of his agenda was to introduce a level of “multiculturalism.”

The comedian says that whenever he’s been questioned about ‘jokes being too black’ he has this response.

 

“I think the biggest thing was just trying to bring in a level of multiculturalism. The one thing I acknowledged when I got here was that the show was very white. And not in a negative way. It just was what it was‚” he said.

Trevor added that when someone questioned him about jokes being ‘too black‚’ he responded with a rhetorical reply‚ questioning what a ‘black joke was.’

The comedian added that when people complain that his show focuses too much on a single topic‚ especially when its an issued like Black Lives Matter‚ he just sits back in disbelief.

“That is the level that you have in your mind? Hearing about Trump 100 times is as irritating to you as hearing about police brutality six times? Wow. That’s a problem‚” he said.

Trevor is also set to release his highly-anticipated book Born A Crime on November 15‚ which delves into Trevor’s childhood of a mixed-race child growing up during the Apartheid regime.

Melania Trump’s $2,645 Presidential Debate Dress Sells Out — Plus, See Who’s Worn It Before!.

Melania Trump walks on stage at the end of the first presidential debate at Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY, on Sept. 26, 2016.

Nothing like a classic LBD. Melania Trump’s simple yet chic black dress from the first 2016 presidential debate on Monday, September 26, has already sold out.

The black off-the-shoulder stretch-knit Roland Mouret dress goes for a cool $2,645.

Trump isn’t the first to wear the classic look. Heidi Klum rocked the garment for an appearance on Good Morning America in July. The model and America’s Got Talent judge, 43, opted to pair the LBD with hoop earrings; Melania, 46, let the dress do the talking Monday night.

Melania, who is married to Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, has been in a who-wore-it-better situation before.

During the Republican National Convention in July — where Melania was accused of plagiarizing Michelle Obama’s 2008 DNC speech — the former model wore a white Roksanda Ilincic bell-sleeve dress that retails for $2,190.

The dress sold out hours after Melania’s RNC appearance, but Joyce Beatty, a Democratic congresswoman from Ohio, appeared at the Democratic National Convention a week later in a very similar frock.

Two largest hospitals in rebel-held Aleppo bombed in 'deliberate' attack as 140 people are killed in just ONE WEEK – as Pope says those responsible 'will have to answer before God.

WARNING: GRAPHIC IMAGES

An air strike and artillery fire hit the two largest hospitals in rebel-held parts of Syria's Aleppo on Wednesday, in what rights groups said was a deliberate strategy of targeting civilian infrastructure.

The two hospitals were struck just before dawn, with the M10 facility hit in an air strike and the M2 facility hit with artillery fire, said Adham Sahloul of the Syrian American Medical Society (SAMS), which supports both hospitals.

The attacks put both facilities temporarily out of commission and left only six hospitals operational in the eastern parts of the city, Sahloul said, calling the attacks 'deliberate'. It was unclear who had carried out the bombings.

'I am in the M2 hospital now. I was inside when the entrance to the emergency room was hit. Three of my colleagues were hurt,' said Aref al-Aref, a medical assistant trapped inside.

A wounded Syrian child is rushed into a hospital after she was hit by mortar shells that targeted Aleppo's government controlled Aziziyah and Suleimaniyah neighbourhoods on Thursday.

Injured Sabah Sheikh Qasim is a six-year-old Syrian twin. She is being taken to hospital after she was pulled out from the wreckage of a five-storey building hit by Assad regime forces' air strikes in Shaar town of Aleppo on Thursday.

140 people, nearly all civilians, have been killed since late Thursday

'Everyone is terrified and scared today. We are afraid that we will be today's victims,' he told AFP.

President Bashar al-Assad's forces and his ally Moscow have carried out a barrage of air strikes on opposition-controlled eastern Aleppo since Syria's regime announced a bid last week to retake all of the divided city.

Mom of Indiana woman accused of kidnapping and suffocating her son and daughter to death says she's 'evil' and her children were scared of her.

The mother of an Indiana woman accused of kidnapping her two young children and then driving to a police station with their lifeless bodies in a car trunk described her daughter as 'evil' and said she was a bad parent.

Amber Pasztor, 29, has been charged with two preliminary counts of murder in the deaths of her daughter Liliana Hernandez, seven, and six-year-old son Rene Pasztor. 

An Amber Alert had been issued for the children in Fort Wayne Monday, saying they were 'believed to be in extreme danger.'

Five hours later, the brother and sister were found dead 70 miles away in Elkhart, Indiana, inside a car belonging to Pastorz's neighbor who was shot to death.

An autopsy Tuesday determined Liliana and Rene died of asphyxiation, Elkhart police Sgt. Chris Snyder said. 

Amber Pasztor, 29 (pictured), was arrested on Monday and charged with murdering her six-year-old son Rene Pasztor and her seven-year-old daughter Liliana Hernandez.

Amber Pasztor, 29, was arrested on Monday and charged with murdering her six-year-old son Rene Pasztor (left) and her seven-year-old daughter Liliana Hernandez (right).

Speaking to People Magazine Tuesday, Amber Pasztor's mother, Leanna Pastorz, said she was not surprised to learn of the charges against her daughter, whom she labeled 'evil.'

'We thought she was crazy,' Leanne Pasztor said of her 29-year-old daughter, who had lost custody of her two children more than a year ago due to drug addiction. 'I think her thought was, "If she can't have them, nobody can."' 

Liliana and Rene, who according to their grandmother were scared of their mother, moved in with another relative, Emily Lasko Green, and were apparently happy in their new home.

Green told the website that she had gone through 'hell' to gain custody of the brother and sister, whom she described as 'wonderful.' 

'They were our babies,' Green said. 'God gave us babies and she took them away.' 

Elkhart County Prosecutor Curtis Hill said at a news conference Tuesday afternoon that he expected to formally charge Amber Pasztor in the deaths of the children later this week.

'It's a senseless tragedy,' Hill said. 

Pastorz was due in court for a probable cause hearing Wednesday afternoon. 

The body of 65-year-old Frank Macomber was found early Tuesday morning by an FBI agent searching the area near the home where the two children were abducted.

Macomber's daughter says he was neighbors with Pasztor, who used to make him drive her around. When his photo was released in the Amber Alert on Monday, his daughter feared that he was being used against his will.

A prosecutor said Macomber probably died before the children were abducted.

After Pasztor's arrest, police continued to search for Macomber. They tried his home, but had no luck, and then focused on the area around the home where the kids' were abducted.

Canadian-based Nigerian doctor suspended for inappropriate sexual behaviors.

Adekunle Williams Owolabi, a Nigerian medical doctor practising in Canada, has been suspended for inappropriate behavior.

Owolabi was found guilty of professional misconduct after four female patients accused him of making sexual comments and inappropriate kissing and hugging.

While carrying out a pap test, the physician asked a female patient if her preference was “big ones or small ones”.

Elizabeth Mate, the doctor who led the disciplinary tribunal, said his comments were “cavalier and unprofessional”.

Huffington Post reports that in a six-day hearing carried out earlier this year, the doctor who graduated in 2000, denied any wrongdoing.

However, in each of the four complaints Owolabi was found to have shown a lack of respect for his patients.

Ruth Trask, a lawyer representing the college, suggested that Owolabi engaged in a pattern of behaivour and argued for an eight-month suspension with strong reprimand.

Owolabi has 30 days to lodge an appeal with the trial division of the supreme court of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Asides being suspended for six months, the Nigeria-trained doctor must undergo training on doctor-patient boundaries and pay 75,000 dollars for hearing costs.

When he resumes work, Owolabi must have a chaperone with him while seeing female patients for two years.

Adele's comeback album 25 hits diamond status after selling 10m copies in the US in less than a year.

She must have called her ex boyfriend 1,000 times.

But that's nothing compared to the number of albums Adele has sold. 

The 28-year-old's comeback album 25 has reached diamond status by selling 10 million copies in less than a year.

Rolling deep: Adele celebrated her album 25 reaching diamond status after selling 10m copies on Tuesday.

Israeli's Ex President Shimon Peres Dies Aged 93.

He suffered a stroke two weeks ago and his condition improved before a sudden deterioration on Tuesday.

Mr Peres, who was one of the last of a generation of Israeli politicians present at the new nation's birth in 1948, served twice as the country's prime minister and once as president.

He won the Nobel Peace prize in 1994 for his role negotiating peace accords with the Palestinians a year earlier.

He once said the Palestinians were Israel's "closest neighbours" and might become its "closest friends".

Mr Peres shared his Nobel Peace Prize with Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was later assassinated, and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

At the start of his long political career, he was put in charge of personnel and arms purchases for the Haganah, the predecessor of the Israel Defense Forces.

He secured a deal with France to supply the new Israeli nation with Mirage jet fighters. He also set up Israel's secret nuclear facility.

Once an advocate of Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, Peres later became a leading political dove. He often spoke of the need for compromise over territorial demands in Palestinian areas.

He maintained an active public schedule into old age, mostly through his non-governmental Peres Centre for Peace, which promotes closer ties between Israel and the Palestinians.

Clinton, Trump clash in first debate: CNN's Reality Check Team vets the claims.

(CNN)Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump clashed Monday in their first head-to-head debate of the general election season, with Trump in particular straying from the truth, CNN's Reality Check Team found.

The team of reporters, researchers and editors across CNN listened throughout the debate and selected key statements from both candidates, rating them true; mostly true; true, but misleading; false; or it's complicated.

By Laura Koran, CNN; Clinton claimed Trump "thinks that climate change is a hoax perpetrated by the Chinese," a charge Trump immediately denied. Who's telling the truth?

On November 6, 2012, Trump tweeted, "The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive."

Over a year later, Trump tweeted in response to weather reports, "Snowing in Texas and Louisiana, record setting freezing temperatures throughout the country and beyond. Global warming is an expensive hoax!"

And Trump's doubts have continued into the campaign season.

Last September, when he was seeking the Republican nomination, Trump told CNN that while he supports clean air and water, "I am not a believer in climate change."

Trump went on to refute the connection between climate change and a rise in extreme weather phenomenon.

"Weather changes," Trump said. "And you have storms, and you have rain, and you have beautiful days, but I do not believe that we should imperil the companies within our country. And by the way, China is doing nothing."

In March, Trump took a more nuanced approach, telling a Washington Post editorial board that he doesn't believe climate change is the result of man-made causes.

"I think there's a change in weather," he said. "I am not a great believer in man-made climate change. I'm not a great believer."

And while Trump has repeated the hoax line on multiple occasions, he's walked back the assertion that it was created by the Chinese, saying he meant that as a joke ... sort of.

"I often joke that this is done for the benefit of China," Trump said on Fox News' "Fox & Friends." "Obviously, I joke, but this is done for the benefit of China, because China does not do anything to help climate change."

While Trump doubts the validity of climate change, his company has prepared for it. According to a Politico report, Trump International Golf Links applied for a permit to build a sea wall at his golf course in Ireland to protect it from "global warming and its effects."

Our verdict: True. While Trump has wavered on the cause of climate change, he has repeatedly denied its existence and called it a hoax.
