British Man Dies After Falling Off Breakwater On Costa Del Sol Beach

A British man has died after he fell off a breakwater at a beach on Spain's Costa del Sol. It is believed the 45-year-old man was on holiday when he apparently lost his footing while out walking at the beauty spot.

A local resident called emergency services after spotting what he thought was a man's body in the sea.

But firefighters who were called out could do nothing because their specialist maritime unit was disbanded years ago and they did not have the required resources or personnel. The incident occurred around midday on Thursday at La Malagueta beach in Malaga.

Dylann Roof Unapologetic for Killing 9 Black Worshipers in Charleston Church: ‘I Have Not Shed a Tear’

Dylann Roof offered no apology for the June 2015 murders of nine black people at a historically black South Carolina church in a jailhouse manifesto read during his sentencing trial on Wednesday.

“I would like to make it crystal clear I do not regret what I did,” Roof wrote in the jailhouse journal seized by authorities in 2015, according to the New York Times. “I am not sorry. I have not shed a tear for the innocent people I killed.”

In December, a jury of three black people and nine white people found Roof guilty of hate crimes, religious obstruction and firearms violations in the June 2015 attack. Roof had pleaded not guilty.

legendary Chelsea midfielder Mikel John Obi is set to undergo a medical on Thursday as he prepares to leave the club this January on a free transfer. His contract technically only expires in the summer, but Chelsea are willing to cancel and facilitate the move.

All of that shouldn’t be surprising — Mikel’s had one foot out the door for practically the entire season — but his destination should be given his agent’s recent comments about not making a decision based on wages, especially the outrageous ones on offer from China.
