US election: Donald Trump makes his last pitch to voters by attacking Beyonce and Jay Z

On the final day before the US election, Donald Trump made his final pitch to voters during a rally in Florida on Monday.

"Florida is my second home," Trump told the crowd. "A state I love so much, and by the way, Hilary, once this is over, she 'll never come. In one day, we are going to win the great state of Florida  and we are going to take back the White House. With what's happening with our justice, our country is a laughingstock all over the world, they 're laughing,"

The Presidential candidate closed his speech but no before going after Beyonce and her husband Jay Z. Queen Bee played a last-minute concert on behalf of Hillary Clinton over the weekend in Ohio, which seems to have really upset Trump. Though his campaign has reportedly taken over his Twitter account, he let his feeling be known at rallies throughout the weekend.

Zahra Buhari shares her experience at the burial of fallen heroes

Zahra Buhari has shared her experience at the burial of the seven soldiers who in the war-front. Sharing photos from the sad event she wrote;

"Yesterday, I experienced a burial for the first time in my life. Right before my eyes I saw our 7 heroes laid to rest, I couldn't hold back my tears. I looked up and saw my mother wiping away her tears and then Lt. Gen. Buratai's voice shaking as he gave his touching speech to bid good bye for the last time. Lt Gen Buratai listed town after town, village after village that were recaptured by the army led by our 7 fallen soldiers.

Tears rolled down as though I had known them all my life. They sacrificed everything they had for us and gave it their all in every battle. I thought to myself "This is the epitome of patriotism!" .

All our fallen heroes shall not be forgotten. The patriotism I had in my heart before the burial was very much but by the end of the event it had doubled!! We have"..no country but Nigeria. We shall remain here and savage it together"

The bravery, courage and patriotism of our soldiers is an example to every Nigerian, it is the true definition of "leading by example".

May Almighty shower his blessings and mercy on all our fallen heroes. You shall never be forgotten. 

Woman whose son was killed while he was robbing, wants the man who shot him to be charged with a crime

A woman, Temia Hairston, whose son, Michael Grace Jr., 28, robbed a Pizza Hut he used to work at is demanding justice for her son who was killed by an employee of the business.

Hairston said her son had been fired from a series of low-paying, unskilled jobs. He had a 4-year-old child, a pregnant girlfriend and was essentially homeless. Hairston said:

“He had lost everything. He lost his Pizza Hut job. He lost his primary job. And because he lost his jobs, he lost his car also,” Hairston, of Charlotte, told The Washington Post.

She added:

“We were talking about baby Michael and I was like, ‘you got to get it together because the child’s mother is having to take care of him by herself because you’re not working. I need you to get yourself together and get back on your grind.’ ” Hairston said she wasn’t sure if her words sunk

Marks & Spencer To Shut 60 Stores After Half-Year Profit Plunge Warning

Marks & Spencer is to close 60 clothing and home stores as it posts an 18.6% plunge in half-year profits.

In a radical shake-up of its business model to cut costs as part of a revival plan, will close about 30 full line UK stores and change around 45 stores to only sell food. Other UK stores would be re-located.

The full list of closures has not yet been revealed but M&S plans to shut 53 stores across 10 international markets - including 10 in China and seven in France, while pulling out of Belgium, Estonia, Hungary and Lithuania - putting around 2,100 jobs at risk.

New chief executive Steve Rowe remains tight-lipped on the number of UK staff impacted by the plans, but said that, where possible, it would keep "job continuity" for affected employees.

An M&S spokesman told Mirror this morning: 'We’re not talking (UK) locations today.'

M&S insists it will have more stores overall after the revamp, having already announced more than 200 Simply Food outlets will open by the end of the 2018/19 financial year.

Court Bans Monthly Lagos Environmental Sanitation, Says No More

The Appeal Court in Lagos has nullified the monthly environmental sanitation in Lagos State, saying it is illegal and ordered the Lagos State Government not to restrict people’s movement on that day.

The court banned the state government from further restricting anyone’s movement within Lagos State at any time or day whatsoever on the basis of environmental sanitation as there is no written law to that effect.

Justice Ugochukwu Ogakwu of the Court of Appeal, Lagos Division held that in the absence of a written law prescribing the same, the governor’s directive for people in Lagos State to stay at home and not to move about thereby restricting movement of persons in Lagos State within the hours of 7.00am to 10.00am on the last Saturday of every month was unlawful, illegal and unconstitutional.

The suit was brought before the court by a citizen, Faith Okafor (Appellant) against the Lagos State Government (Respondent).

Philippine Dictator Marcos Will Be Buried At Hero's Cemetery After Many Years In Death, But Citizens Still Kick At It

Ex-Philippine dictator Ferdinand Marcos can be buried at the national heroes' cemetery, the Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in a hugely controversial verdict that critics warned would whitewash his crimes and divide the nation.

The judges voted with a clear majority to endorse President Rodrigo Duterte's decision to allow the burial at the "Cemetery of Heroes" in Manila, court spokesman Theodore Te told reporters.

"There is no law that prohibits the burial," Te said as he read a summary of the verdict and hundreds of Marcos supporters outside the court cheered.

Marcos ruled the Philippines for two decades until 1986, when millions of people took to the streets in a "People Power" revolution that forced him and his family into US exile.

Marcos, his infamously flamboyant wife, Imelda, and their cronies plundered up to $10 billion from state coffers during his rule, according to government investigators and historians.

Catholic Bishops Beg Forgiveness From Paedophilia Victims

French bishops pleaded for forgiveness Monday for the “guilty silence” of the Catholic Church following months of damaging revelations over the sexual abuse of children by priests.

The church has been rocked by allegations that the Archbishop of Lyon, Philippe Barbarin, covered up the abuse of scouts and failed to remove a priest despite being aware he had sexually abused the boys a quarter of a century ago.

The scandal was the worst to hit the Church in France since 2001, when a bishop was given a three-month suspended jail sentence for failing to inform authorities about a pedophile priest.

Barbarin, who has protested his innocence, remains in his post, but the scandal has tarnished the image of one of the church’s most media-friendly figures.

Archbishop of Paris Andre Vingt-Trois told worshippers at a “time for prayer and penitence” during the bishops’ autumn conference in the southwestern pilgrimage town of Lourdes on Monday that the Church had failed in its duty to victims of abuse.

“We lacked mercy… we did not listen to these victims in the way that they expected us to (and) we lacked the courage to take the measures that were needed,” the archbishop said.
