Assad 'considering evacuation' of children with cancer from Eastern Ghouta 

Image
Bashar al-Assad, the Syrian president, is reportedly considering a plea from a charity to move seven children suffering from cancer out of a war zone. Hamish de Bretton-Gordon, a British adviser to the Union of Medical Care and Relief Organisations (UOSSM), told the BBC it had requested an evacuation of the children from eastern Ghouta. The suburb of Damascus, home to 400,000 civilians, has been under siege by Assad's forces for four years. It had been indicated by Assad's private officer that a decision on the children would be made next week, Mr de Bretton-Gordon said. He told the BBC: "We understand Assad is thinking about it. And we're calling him back on Tuesday morning to speak to him direct. "And if he gives us the go-ahead then the plan is that we will get to Ghouta as quickly as we can, get the children." The children include Rama Helweh, four, who has a malignant throat tumour and hasn't received the necessary medication for eight months. The pr

Venezuelan authorities late Saturday began releasing some of those detained during demonstrations against President Nicolas Maduro's socialist government, a rare goodwill gesture to the opposition at the end of a politically torrid year. Delcy Rodriguez, the president of the assembly and head of its Truth Commission investigating the protests, said that Christmas was "a moment of reconciliation" as she announced the decision to release around 80 people. Among the first freed was Alfredo Ramos, mayor of the northwestern municipality of Iribarren, who was arrested late July and handed a 15 month sentence, and a dozen police officers from Chacao municipality, an opposition stronghold of Caracas. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2l8CRfA via Latest News

Philippines shopping mall blaze claims 37 lives

Image
Thirty-seven people were believed killed in a fire that engulfed a shopping mall in the southern Philippine city of Davao, local authorities said on Sunday. A Bureau of Fire Protection commander at the scene said the chances of the 37 surviving were "zero", Paolo Duterte, Davao’s vice mayor, who is also the president’s son, wrote in a Facebook post. The blaze started at the four-storey NCCC Mall on Saturday morning and people were trapped inside, including at a call centre on the top floor, Ralph Canoy, a police officer in the district, told AFP. Canoy said the fire was still going before dawn on Sunday morning, nearly 24 hours later. "The fire started on the third floor, which houses products like fabrics, wooden furniture and plastic ware, so the fire quickly spread and it’s taking a long time to put out," he said. He said investigators believed some of those likely killed had been trapped in the call centre, which operated 24 hours a day. "It’s possible that

Future Android version may give carriers ability to hide signal strength from users

As some of you may probably know, current Android versions give you the ability to access network signal strength by heading to the SIM Status menu in Settings. But now it looks like the information may be made optional in future. A recent piece of code committed to the Android Open Source Project reveals there are plans to give carriers the ability to hide the signal strength information.

Putin critic Navalny clears first hurdle in bid for Russia presidency

By Polina Nikolskaya MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny on Sunday cleared the first hurdle towards taking part in next year's presidential election, even though the central election commission has previously ruled him ineligible to run. Navalny, 41, is a fierce opponent of President Vladimir Putin, who is widely expected to win re-election in March, extending 17 years in power. A veteran campaigner against corruption among Russia's elite, he won the initial support of 742 people at a gathering in a district of Moscow - above the minimum 500 required to initiate a presidential bid. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines http://ift.tt/2Bvi7oY via Latest News
