| Nine Islamic asylum seekers arrested for drugging and raping a woman in Austria Posted: 16 Aug 2016 12:18 PM PDT  The attackers aged between 21 and 47 are alleged to have snatched the woman from Vienna's central Schwedenplatz and assaulted her in an apartment where two of the suspects lived, between 2am and 6am. But the arrests were made eight months later following a "protracted and difficult" investigation  The arrests were made in Austria after DNA evidence and CCTV footage was used to successfully build a case against the alleged rapists. This comes as Austria's anti-immigrant Freedom Party desperately attempts to overturn the result of June's presidential election after a re-run was ordered by a judge when evidence showed "irregularities" in the count. A police spokesperson said: "There is no doubt about the gang rape according to the biological traces. "The investigations were difficult and protracted. On the trail of the suspects, investigators came by DNA material, interviews with witnesses and images from surveillance cameras."Police say the woman had been drinking but believes she may have been drugged as she does not remember getting to the apartment. The men have all denied the accusations. Some Austrians have demanded that the men be "immediately deported" if they are convicted of the rape. Source: Reuters |

Commenting ahead of the impending launch, Founder and CEO, Simplified Corporate Logistics, Nduka Udeh said, "One of the biggest challenges facing small and medium scale businesses in Nigeria is that of lack of a simplified solution that caters for all their logistics needs that can be accessed from one simple online portal. The process of procurement, shipping, clearance and delivery of goods has turned into an incredibly expensive and time-exhausting one for business owners due to hidden customs charges introduced by agents whose unreliable business practices has lead many business to pay huge amounts on clearing.

| Amber Heard and Johnny Depp settle domestic violence case Posted: 16 Aug 2016 09:03 AM PDT  Amber and Johnny filed legal docs Tuesday in which Amber withdrew her request for a restraining order. She had alleged Johnny brutalized her on May 21 but now the case is over. She dismissed the case with prejudice, meaning she can never re-file it.The divorce case, which was tied to the domestic violence petition, is also resolved. As we reported, our sources say Johnny agreed to pay Amber approximately $7 million to walk away ... that includes attorneys' fees ... at a point, $8 million was on the table, so she ended up with a mil less. As we reported, Johnny's lawyers, Laura Wasser and Blair Berk, along with Amber's lawyers, Pierce O'Donnell and Samantha Spector, crafted a settlement after Amber was grilled Saturday during a deposition. Amber and Johnny released a joint statement: "Our relationship was intensely passionate and at times volatile, but always bound by love..." The statement goes on: "Neither party has made false accusations for financial gains." That's an interesting sentence, because it does not say neither party has made false statements. And it goes on ... "There was never an intent of physical or emotional harm." And it ends this way ... "Amber wishes the best for Johnny in the future. Amber will be donating financial proceeds from the divorce to a charity." She does not specify what percentage and which charity. |

| Posted: 16 Aug 2016 08:48 AM PDT   Gaz claims to have bedded one thousand women, so he was lucky only six of them were waiting for him at the breakfast table while filming. The play boy was however surprised when he realised he'd slept with each and every one of them, including those he didn't remember having anything to do with. He said: "We don't tell them [producers] who we've been with. I don't know how they find them. They found one person for me and I do not know how they found them. The problem is it's not just big exes, it's one night stands and then you are f**ked. You are not going to remember them. I'm like 'Really? Are you here for me? There was one point I was having breakfast with six of the girls and I thought 'I have slept with everyone at the table'."  Some of the cast of Ex On The Beach Source: SunUK |
