British police say they have charged the uncle of the Duchess of Cambridge with assault after a late-night altercation in a London street.

The Metropolitan Police force says Gary Goldsmith, Kate Middleton's maternal uncle, faces a charge of assault by beating over an incident near his home Friday at 1:20am local time.

British newspapers reported Saturday that the alleged victim is his wife, Julie-Ann Goldsmith.

Goldsmith has been released on bail and is due in court on October 31.
Goldsmith attended Middleton's 2011 royal wedding to Prince William.

Often depicted as her wayward uncle, Goldsmith once owned a house in Spain called La Maison de Bang Bang.

He was filmed in 2009 by an undercover reporter apparently taking cocaine and bragging about his ñ connections.

The eviction and demotion were ordered by Mr. Rochas Okorocha, the governor of Imo State.

TRUMP HAS MADE WAR WITH IRAN AND NORTH KOREA MORE LIKELY THAN EVER

By
Image
The U.S. and Iran have both taken defensive measures to prepare for a potential conflict following President Donald Trump's controversial decision Friday to not certify a landmark nuclear treaty between both countries and four other leading powers. Despite recommendations from his security and defense advisors, Trump decertified the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), a 2015 deal negotiated by the U.S., Iran, China France, Germany, Russia and the U.K., and designated Iran's elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) a terrorist organization. Trump's remarks, in which he accused Iran of being a "fanatical regime" that sponsors terrorism abroad, had immediate repercussions in the region, with Iranian President Hassan Rouhani quickly condemning the speech during a televised address. "Mr. Trump's remarks on Iran…contained nothing but expletives and a pile of delusional allegations against the Iranian nation," Rouhani said, according to Press ...

DAILY DEVOTION FOR TODAY 16th OCTOBER 2017

By

  Where Needs Are Met   A daily devotion for October 16th   From your friends at  RayStedman.org     Read: Psalm 23:2-3a       He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul (Psalm 23:2-3a).       In this psalm David enumerates the ways in which the Good Shepherd meets our needs. The first thing He does is to meet the needs of the inner person, the basic needs that we have for nourishment within. The basic needs of a flock of sheep are grass and water. Here is the very picturesque scene of sheep bedded down in grassy meadows, having eaten their fill and now totally satisfied, and then being led by still waters. Sheep are afraid of running water; they will drink only from a quiet pool. A good shepherd, particularly in a semi-arid region such as Palestine, knows where the watering holes are. He knows where the grassy meadows are. And so he leads the sheep into places where they can rest and feed and where they can drink. The picture is one of...

TRUMP FALLS BACK TO IRONCLAD NATO COMMITMENT WITH RUSSIA TENSIONS RISING

By
Image
Donald Trump is set to closely hug the Nato alliance he has previously derided as tensions with Russia escalate following last week’s missile attack on Syria. Trump will host Nato secretary general Jens Stoltenberg at the White House on Wednesday and express what a White House official called an “ironclad” commitment to the transatlantic military alliance. Capped by a joint press conference, the White House hopes Stoltenberg’s visit will turn a page after Trump’s erratic dismissals of Nato as “obsolete”, a theme he developed first as a Republican candidate. Aides signaled that the White House has a broader message, aimed at Russia, where secretary of state Rex Tillerson is attempting to cleave an infuriated Vladimir Putin from Syrian proxy Bashar al-Assad. Trump “has been very firm that he is 100% committed to Nato”, a White House official said, a position “probably reinforced by everything that Russia is doing”. White House officials did not indicate that Stoltenberg and Tr...
