Bomb explodes outside US Embassy in Beijing, suspect injured: report

By

A report from Fox news confirmed that
a small bomb was detonated outside the U.S. 
Embassy compound in Beijing on Thursday.
The bomber, a 26-year-old man, was injured in 
the incident, police said.
The police statement identified the man only by
 his surname, Jiang, and said he was from the 
city of Tongliao in the Chinese region of Inner 
Mongolia.
Bystanders shared video of the aftermath on
 social media, showing images of smoke 
unfurling in the street and what appeared to be 
police vehicles surrounding the building in the 
city's Chaoyang District.
The blast occurred around 1 p.m. local time 
and could be heard from blocks away, 
Witnesses told Reuters they felt tremors, and 
later saw police examining a vehicle outside 
the compound.
Police reportedly "took away a woman spraying 
gasoline on herself in suspected attempt at 
self-immolation" at around 11 a.m., the ruling 
Communist Party newspaper Global Times 
said.
China and the U.S. are in the middle of a trade 
dispute.

BREAKING: Plane of Missing Soccer Player Emiliano Sala Is Found in the English Channel

By
The wreckage of the plane that vanished with the footballer Emiliano Sala on board has been found within hours of a search starting in the sea off the Channel Islands. A search boat hired privately by Sala’s Argentinian family – thanks partly to a crowdfunding appeal – located the wreckage on Sunday morning. The crew passed the details of the location on to government investigators, who used a remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) to examine the spot. There was no immediate official confirmation of what was found but the shipwreck specialist leading the private investigation, David Mearns, said the plane had been discovered. No information about whether any bodies were in the plane was given. Two seat covers from the aircraft washed up last week on the coast of France. UK Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) will probably make a statement on Monday. The Piper Malibu N264DB carrying 28-year-old Sala and the pilot, David Ibbotson, 59, disappeared over the Chann

Ethiopia applauded for its progressive refugee integration law

By
The Ethopia parliament has adopted revisions to its existing refugee law, making it one of the most progressive refugee policies in Africa. The revised framework strives for refugee integration, allowing refugees to obtain work permits, access primary education, obtain drivers’ licenses, national financial services such as banking among others. Low and middle income countries like Ethiopia host 85% of the global refugee population. Refugee compacts or ‘jobs compacts’ or Economic Opportunities Programs are agreements between donors and governments that host refugees to mitigate the expenses for their already struggling economies. These grants, concessional loans and other incentives are used to stimulate economic development and enable host countries to provide basic services to refugees and local populations. As the second-largest refugee-hosting country in Africa, Ethiopia is currently the host of over 900,000 refugees mainly from neighbouring South Sudan

Super Hero: Footballer Saves The Life Of Opposition Goalkeeper After Collision During Match

By
A footballer did something wonderful during a match in Czech Republic league when he saved the life of the other team's goalkeeper after a terrible collision. Goalkeeper Martin Berkovec, 28, came out to collect a ball during the game between Bohemians 1905 and Slovacko but smashed into his own defender, Daniel Krch. Berkovec, who was on loan from Slavia Prague, collapsed but eagle-eyed Slovacko striker Francis Koné noticed that he had gone limp. Without waiting for the team doctor or physio, Kone put his finger into Berkovec's mouth to prevent him swallowing his own tongue. Berkovec was stretchered off and taken to hospital, where he is expected to make a full recovery. Writing on Facebook after regaining consciousness last night, Berkovec said: 'I would like to thank Francis Kone for rescue and emergency at today's game…I'm glad for the relief and thanks again!!!' The Daily Mirror reported that Slovacko's head coach Michal Kordula prai
