  While her mother languishes in a St Thomas jail, at least one of the daughters of ‘Da’ or Doreen, the half-naked woman seen beating her daughter mercilessly with a cutlass, has come to her defence. Sheryl Jones, 21, has said that since the video footage went viral, there are malicious sectors of society attempting to demonise her mother, and disparage her 13 year-old sister. “The society is trying to demonise my mother and that is not right. My mother is a lady like this, she don’t beat normally, she talk more than how she beat. (My sister) misbehave because my mother told her to do something and she give attitude.

GRACE MUGABE Zimbabwe President Robert Mugabe has been married to his wife Grace for more than 20 years, but the last few months may well have been the most trying period of their union yet. Firstly, Grace Mugabe undermined her 93-year-old husband in July by challenging him to name his eventual successor , a task that Mugabe has demurred from. Then, Zimbabwe's first lady created an international diplomatic incident in August after allegedly assaulting a South African model with an extension cord and plug. South African authorities wanted to bring her to court, but Mugabe himself flew into the country to talk them down. Now, Grace Mugabe—and her dirty laundry—have been caught up in another incident that will likely create embarrassment for Zimbabwe's first family. Zimbabwean authorities have detained a local journalist after he allegedly wrote a story that claimed that the first lady had given second-hand clothes—including used underwear and nightdresses—to p...

  LAS VEGAS —  The security guard who first approached Stephen Paddock’s hotel suite during the massacre in Las Vegas, was shot in the leg and continued to help clear rooms after getting injured, police said. Jesus Campos was identified as the security guard at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, said David Hickey, president of the International Union, Security, Police and Fire Professionals of America. He was uncertain whether Campos was armed at the time. Campos is out of the hospital, but is expected to have surgery at a later date to remove a bullet, Hickey told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer. When reached by ABC News, Campos said he was fine. “I was just doing my job,” he said. Campos’ actions may have distracted Paddock, possibly saving lives of many people below at the country music festival. The shooter killed 58 people and the attack left nearly 500 concertgoers wounded. Paddock began firing at concertgoers from his 32nd-floor suite beginning ...

Undated photo provided by Eric Paddock shows his brother, Las Vegas gunman Stephen Paddock   LAS VEGAS — The gunman in the Las Vegas massacre planned to escape after targeting the country music concert, but instead left behind a note and killed himself, authorities say. Stephen Paddock led such a secretive life, much of it remains unknown days after he killed 58 people, according to Sheriff Joseph Lombardo of the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police. Paddock may have had some help planning the attack at the country music festival Sunday night, Lombardo said Wednesday night. He intended to escape after the attack, but he instead turned the gun on himself as authorities closed in on his room on the 32nd-floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino. “He was doing everything possible to see how he could escape at this point,” Lombardo said. Before killing himself, Paddock, 64, had set up cameras inside and outside his hotel suite, and in the peep hole. Poli...

Law enforcement stand outside the home of Stephen Paddock, the Las Vegas gunman who killed more than 50 people and injured more than 500.  LAS VEGAS — He seemed so ordinary, just another house-hunting retiree, when he strolled with his girlfriend into the sales office of the Sun City development in late 2014. The agents had just what Stephen Craig Paddock was looking for — a 2,000-square-foot, two-bedroom stucco rambler on a cul-de-sac. Other houses might offer bigger floor plans, but the one on Babbling Brook Court had two big selling points: a commanding hilltop view and, perhaps most importantly, privacy. Neighbors lived to the left and right, but none behind the home. Paddock quickly said he’d take it. He stood about 6-foot-4 but came across as “low key and relaxed, a good guy,” one of the real estate agents recalled, speaking on condition of anonymity. Balding and paunchy, Paddock was the opposite of flashy. On his application, he said his inco...

    REX TILLERSON US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson firmly denied Wednesday that he had fallen out with Donald Trump and vowed to remain in post, dismissing a report that he had once called the president a “moron.” For his part, Trump declared he has “total confidence” in his top diplomat after both had denied an explosive report that Tillerson became so frustrated over the summer that he considered resigning. According to the NBC News story, which cited “multiple senior administration officials” but was described as “erroneous” by the State Department, Tillerson had referred to Trump as a “moron” at a July 20 Pentagon meeting. Afterwards, the report said, Tillerson met with Vice President Mike Pence, who urged him to show more respect, and with other senior officials who urged him not to resign. Appearing before reporters at a hastily organized news conference in the State Department, Tillerson denied the report and pledged Trump his full support. ...

The officials said the two wounded commandos were taken to Niamey, the capital, and are fortunately, in stable condition.

It’s so sad but we know that you’re safe in God’s hands. We’re so broken, it hurts knowing that someone can hurt such an innocent young girl.” Head Johannesburg MMC for Health and Social Development Dr Mpho Phalatse said, “when an innocent life of a little girl is taken in this manner we need to ask ourselves what is wrong with our community. There is a sickness in our community and we have accommodated it for far too long. Its time for all of us to regroup and take a stand against social ills. It can’t be business as usual. Things need ...

THEME: OCCUPY TILL HE COMES.   Memorise: Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. John 15:2 Read: Luke 19:11-13 19:11 And as they heard these things, he added and spake a parable, because he was nigh to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the kingdom of God should immediately appear. 19:12 He said therefore, A certain nobleman went into a far country to receive for himself a kingdom, and to return. 19:13 And he called his ten servants, and delivered them ten pounds, and said unto them, Occupy till I come. Message: God's expectation of you in these end times is that you would live for a cause that is greater than yourself - and cause that will serve the purpose of advancing His Kingdom on earth. What worthy cause in God's kingdom keeps you awake at night? What burden are you carrying in your heart? When Nehemiah heard that his peopl...
