The most famous movie star Mia Khalifa is recently diagnosed with HIV Positive Infection. As the girl was shooting with 2 other people, the industry remains in a fear of an outbreak.
“This is the 5th case in this industry in the past 10 months. Its not about that we are loosing our actors, its about all the humans. This infection is scary and for us, all human lives anywhere on this planet matter.” said Director Barney Hive.
A moratorium is ongoing on shooting in the film industry following the news of Mia Khalifa testing positive for the disease.
The industry is considering increasing the frequency with which its stars take HIV tests from 28 to 14 days.
Mia is now under treatment along with her family and friends in Us. Lets hope the further results come out good for her.
A 34-year-old British woman has divorced her Indian husband after a two-year legal battle that started when she traced him to Kerala, where he had returned to his village after deserting her. Mariyam Khaliq, the British woman of Pakistani origin, had befriended Kunnumbath Noushad Hussain, 34, on Facebook while he was studying in Scotland. The couple tied the knot after an 18-month courtship in April 2013. They stayed together for a year before Hussain deserted her. He had left her saying he would return after convincing his parents about their marriage. “I do not know what was on his mind. He had promised to take me to Kerala and marry me as per rituals,’’ she said. Hussain allegedly stopped taking Khaliq’s calls after some time and ignored her messages and blocked her on social media too. “My love towards him was genuine and I was shattered,’’ she added.
Khaliq did not give up. She tracked Hussain down in Kerala, where she sought help from Snehitha helpline. “I had little details about Hussain. The only information I had about my husband was that he hailed from Akalad near Chavakkad,’’ she said. “He had given me a photograph of his house along with its huge gate. I sent that photograph to Snehitha activists.’’ Lawyers Sudha Haridas and Mohammed Ismail helped Khaliq. “We went to Hussain’s house at Chavakkad. He was indifferent and feigned ignorance about Khaliq and the marriage,’’ said Haridas. Hussain claimed that Khaliq was not even his friend when she visited Chavakkad first in January 2015. Hussain’s indifference shattered Khaliq. She pulled herself together and filed a police complaint besides moving a local court that granted her residence order enabling her to stay at her husband’s house.
Khaliq alleged that Hussain’s family threatened her and used abusive language. They were unwilling to accept her as their daughter-in-law. “They tried to prevent me from returning to India again. Pointing out my Pakistan origin, they depicted me as a terrorist and even sought police help to spoil my plan to visit Chavakkad again.’’ She returned to Chavakkad again to force Hussain’s family to give in by accepting a settlement in October 2015. Hussain had by then married a Kerala woman and his family was willing to pay her compensation provided she returned with a divorce certificate and withdrew cases registered against them. “They were ready for a settlement only because of my stubborn stand. Despite their threats, I was not ready to go back,’’ said Khaliq, who soon returned to London to complete her divorce formalities.
On January 19, Khaliq arrived in Kerala for the third time after having her marriage nullified in London. “Since he had married another woman, there was little worth in fighting a bigamy case. Hence, we decided to go for an out-of-court settlement,’’ said Haridas. Khaliq, who would fly back to London next week, was paid alimony after she withdrew the cases. Hussain, who is now settled in Abu Dhabi, said that he had married Khaliq to get permanent residency visa. “I had gone to the UK on a two-year visa in 2010. When the term of my visa was nearing expiry, marriage was the only option to get it extended’’ He claimed to have told Khaliq that he did not want to live with her. “She took the relationship seriously. I had no other option but to escape. To wriggle out of the relation, I told her that I wanted to go to Kerala to meet my family. On reaching here, I told her that I do not want to return.’’
Donald Trump has said a "big day" is planned on national security, including an announcement to build a wall on the border between the US and Mexico.
The new US president is expected to sign several executive orders regarding immigration and border security over the next few days.
They are likely to include the "extreme vetting" of people coming from seven predominantly Muslim countries in the Middle East and Africa.
This would restrict refugee access.
Mr Trump tweeted: "Big day planned on national security tomorrow. Among many other things, we will build the wall!"
Building a 2,000-mile wall along the Mexican border was one of his key proposals during the presidential election campaign.
There will also be measures that force so-called sanctuary cities in the US to co-operate with the authorities on deporting illegal immigrants.
"Sanctuary cities" are places that don't arrest or detain immigrants living in the country illegally.
Illegal immigrants stopped in US border states, 1 Oct 2014-30 Sep 2015
Later this week, Mr Trump is expected to announce immigration restrictions from seven African and Middle Eastern countries, including Syria, Yemen, and Iraq.
He is also likely to halt access to the country for some refugees - until the vetting process can be made more rigorous.
The BBC's David Willis in Washington says immigration and humanitarian organisations are likely to be outraged by the measures.
Trita Parsi, from the National Iranian American Council, said: "Donald Trump is making good on the most shameful and discriminatory promises he made on the campaign trail.
"He called for a Muslim ban and is now taking the first steps to implement one. This will not stand. The American people are better than this."
The US President also took to Twitter to express his concern about the level of violence in Chicago.
He threatened to "send in the Feds" - federal authorities - if the city did not "fix the horrible carnage" taking place.
Local media has said that more than 40 people have been murdered and 228 shot so far in 2017.
The Chicago Police Department said it was "more than willing to work" with federal agencies to "boost federal prosecution rates for gun crimes" in the city.
The family of a millionaire businessman "are sure" he was killed for his money by his Ukrainian wife, an inquest has heard.
Barry Pring, 47, was killed by a speeding car as he tried to hail a taxi on the hard shoulder of a dual carriageway in Kiev in 2008.
His wife, Ganna Ziuzina, had returned to a restaurant for a missing glove.
The coroner at Exeter County Hall, Dr Elizabeth Earland, recorded a verdict of unlawful killing.
She said: "His guard was lowered by inebriation. The car had stolen licence plates and did not brake or stop.
"I am satisfied that having heard all the evidence... much of it circumstantial, nevertheless, in my view it is overwhelming.
"I am satisfied beyond reasonable doubt that Barry John Pring has been unlawfully killed."
She said the case demonstrated the difficulty in investigating a case of a death abroad, adding: "Our thoughts and condolences must go to the family who have endured years and years of distress and unhappiness."
Close friend Peter Clifford, a lawyer, told the inquest he had "no reasonable doubt" that Barry was murdered.
Ms Ziuzina, known as Anna, was 19 years younger than her husband. She tried to claim his assets within days of his death.
His family believe he was killed in a staged hit and run accident.
The couple met online in 2006 and were married in 2007 following a four-day engagement.
Mr Pring's mother, Irene Pring, said Ms Ziuzina claimed to be a teacher when the pair first met, but she was in fact a lap dancer and stripper.
She said: "We are sure Anna had some involvement in his death to inherit his money and property.
"I was quite surprised how cold she was with Barry. She did not lift a finger, she was a lazy thing."
The inquest heard Ms Ziuzina sold her husband's Range Rover, contents from his flat and moved funds from his bank account.
The hearing was also told she was "entitled to the first £200,000 of his estate" and that computer records revealed "she was having an affair with a Ukrainian man".
Greater Devon coroner Dr Elizabeth Earland said "strenuous attempts" had been made to get her to attend the inquest, but without success.
In a statement, Ms Ziuzina said she had made "three separate statements to Ukrainian police" and did not believe she could "add anything further".
Det Con Jonathan Watts, from Devon and Cornwall Police, said Mr Pring was hit by a car with no lights, speeding at 75mph.
He also said witnesses at the scene in Kiev described the killing "as a deliberate act".
The Ukrainian police closed an inquiry into his death, but relaunched it in 2011 as a murder inquiry. The case is still active "but not actively pursued".
MUMBAI: Nearly 60% of the vehicles plying on Indian roads are uninsured, most of them motorcycles and scooters. The data has been complied by General Insurance Council (GIC), which represents the country's general insurers. In 2015-16, India had around 19 crore registered vehicles; of these, only 8.26 crore were insured, said GIC secretary general R Chandrasekaran on Monday. The situation was similar in 2012-13, when the total number of vehicles, including two-wheelers, cars and heavy vehicles, registered in the country stood at 15 crore, of which only 6.02 crore were insured. The figures are alarming since India's roads are notorious for their high accident rate, with 2015 alone recording over 5 lakh road crashes.
Two-wheelers were involved in 29% of the accidents in 2015, cars and jeeps in 23%, and buses in 8.3%. Transport experts point out the need for every vehicle to be insured as those without an insurance cause "huge liability to mishap victims".
Thousands of Iraqi children are heading back to school in eastern areas of Mosul that have been cleared of Islamic State militants by government forces.
The UN Children's Fund said 30 schools had reopened on Sunday, allowing 16,000 children to resume their education after two years of jihadist rule.
Iraq's Prime Minister, Haider al-Abadi, has announced that the east of the city is now fully clear of IS.
However, deadly fighting was reported in eastern districts on Tuesday.
Photos published by Reuters news agency show Iraqi soldiers examining the dead bodies of IS fighters in what is said to be the Intisar district.
Further north, also east of the River Tigris, Iraqi troops said they had liberated the Rashidiyah district, as well as the villages of Haditha and Jurf al-Milih.
Government-led forces began their offensive against IS in Mosul in October. It is the group's last major urban stronghold in Iraq but the jihadist group still controls several large towns and large parts of Syria.
Battle for Mosul: The story so far
An additional 40 schools are expected to open in the coming weeks after being checked for unexploded ordnances.
IS uses schools to indoctrinate children into its extremist ideology.
Boys adhere to a rigid curriculum, where drawing, history, philosophy and social studies - considered by IS to be "the methodology of atheism" - are removed. They must instead memorise verses of the Koran and attend "jihadist training", which includes firing weapons and martial arts.
Girls - most of whom were banned from getting an education in Mosul - are veiled and taught how to cook, clean and support their future husbands.

'New strategy needed' for IS children
Unicef said it was supporting the Iraqi authorities in their efforts to rehabilitate, equip and open schools as the security situation improved in previously contested areas. Many buildings were used for military purposes or were badly damaged by the fighting.
School supplies for 120,000 students in eastern Mosul have been put in place and Unicef is retraining teachers, introducing accelerated learning programmes for children and launching awareness campaigns against violence.
Unicef said the last two years had been a "nightmare" for the children of Mosul
Ahmed, 10, told Unicef: "Today I feel like I'm back to life"
"After the nightmare of the past two years, this is a pivotal moment for the children of Mosul to reclaim their education and their hope for a better future," said Peter Hawkins, Unicef representative in Iraq.
Another 13,200 children living in camps outside Mosul, who are among the 180,000 people who have fled the city since the government launched an offensive 100 days ago, are also being helped to get an education.
Also on Tuesday, the UN's humanitarian co-ordinator for Iraq expressed deep concern for the estimated 750,000 civilians trapped in IS-held western Mosul, as troops prepare to retake it.
"The reports from inside western Mosul are distressing," she said in a statement also signed by 20 international and local aid groups.
"All the evidence points to a sharply deteriorating situation. The prices of basic food and supplies are soaring. Water and electricity are intermittent in neighbourhoods and many families without income are eating only once a day. Others are being forced to burn furniture to stay warm."
Ms Grande could not rule out the possibility of siege-like conditions or a mass exodus, and noted that almost half of all casualties from Mosul had been civilians, with many killed by booby-traps, caught in crossfire or used as human shields.
The boss of BT's Continental European operation is to resign after the firm was forced to write down the value of its Italian unit by £530m after years of "inappropriate behaviour".
BT's shares plunged 21% after revealing the Italian scandal would cost far more than the £145m initially anticipated.
It also warned it would affect its results for the next two years.
The investigation of BT's Italian business, which included an independent review by accountancy firm KPMG, found improper accounting practices and "a complex set of improper sales, purchase, factoring and leasing transactions".
It added: "These activities have resulted in the overstatement of earnings in our Italian business over a number of years."
From 2006, Mr Corrado was chief executive of BT Italy before his remit expanded in 2011 to include France.
In January 2013, he was appointed as president of BT's Continental Europe operation, where he reported to Luiz Alvarez, the chief executive of the company's global services business.
Market 'jitters'
In addition to its problems in Italy, BT also said the outlook for the UK public sector and international corporate markets had "deteriorated".
As a result, BT now expects operating profit for the current financial year to be £7.6bn, compared to previously guidance of £7.9bn, and revenue to be flat. It also forecasts that both sales and profit will be flat for the year to March 2018.
BT's shares dropped sharply as soon as trading began, and by midday were down 18% at 313.55p.
BT has an estimated one million small shareholders after becoming one of the first state-owned business to be privatised under Margaret Thatcher's government.
George Salmon, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "With the group's net debts pushing £9.6bn following the acquisition of EE, and a review of the how to fund the £9.5bn pension deficit coming up in June, there were already a few jitters around the stock, so this was the last thing the group needed."
Allegations of "inappropriate behaviour" at BT's Italian operation first emerged last summer before the company began conducting an investigation in October.
BT group chief executive Gavin Patterson said: "We are deeply disappointed with the improper practices which we have found in our Italian business.
"We have undertaken extensive investigations into that business and are committed to ensuring the highest standards across the whole of BT for the benefit of our customers, shareholders, employees and all other stakeholders."
China has asserted its "indisputable sovereignty" over parts of the South China Sea after the Trump administration vowed to prevent China from taking territory in the region.
The Chinese foreign ministry said Beijing would "remain firm to defend its rights in the region".
White House spokesman Sean Spicer said on Monday the US would "make sure we protect our interests there".
Barack Obama's administration refused to take sides in the dispute.
It did, however, send B-52 bombers and a naval destroyer last year, and the then US Secretary of State John Kerry spoke out over what he called "an increase of militarisation from one kind or another" in the region.
Several nations claim territory in the resource-rich South China Sea, which is also an important shipping route.
The new US president has taken a tough stance against China, and Mr Spicer told reporters "the US is going to make sure we protect our interests" in the South China Sea.
"If those islands are, in fact, in international waters and not part of China proper, yeah, we'll make sure we defend international interests from being taken over by another country," he said, without giving further details.
The Chinese government responded by saying that the US was "not a party to the South China Sea issue".
Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying said China was "committed to peaceful negotiations with all countries concerned" in the dispute, and said it "respects the principles of freedom of navigation and over-flight in international waters".
But, she went on: "Our position is clear. Our actions have been lawful."
'Devastating confrontation'
Mr Spicer's comments echo those of Donald Trump's new Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.
During his nomination hearing, Mr Tillerson said the US should block access to islands being built by China in the South China Sea, likening it to Russia's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine.
"We're going to have to send China a clear signal that first, the island-building stops and second, your access to those islands also is not going to be allowed," he told the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
The Chinese state media responded by warning that such actions would lead to a "devastating confrontation".
What is the South China Sea dispute?
Rival countries have wrangled over territory in the South China Sea for centuries, but tension has steadily increased in recent years.
Its islets and waters are claimed in part or in whole by Taiwan, China, Vietnam, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei.
Beijing has been building artificial islands on reefs and carrying out naval patrols in waters also claimed by these other nations.
Although the Obama administration insisted it was neutral, it spoke out strongly against the island-building and sought to build ties with, and among, the South East Asian nations whose claims overlap those of China.
In July an international tribunal ruled against Chinese claims, backing a case brought by the Philippines, but Beijing said it would not respect the verdict.
The frictions have sparked concern that the area is becoming a flashpoint with global consequences.
Three men were arrested on suspicion of rape in Sweden on Sunday, following reports of an assault against a woman being live-streamed on Facebook.
Police in Uppsala were contacted in the morning by a woman who said she had seen a gang rape broadcast in a closed group on the site.
"You have been raped," one of the men said at the end of the video and then laughed, according to the viewer.
Police later confirmed they, and "many" others, had seen the footage.
The Facebook group is said to have several thousand members.
Police confirmed that they had found three men, aged between 19 and 25, and one woman at a local apartment.
The men were arrested on the spot.
Josefine Lundgren, 21, called the police when she saw the video.
Speaking to Swedish tabloid Expressen, she said she saw one of the men tear the woman's clothes off and lie on top of her.
She also said one of the men had a gun.
Facebook Live shows a count of other people simultaneously watching the broadcast and Ms Lungren said she could see 60 other people viewing.
"Three against one hahaha," one of the viewers wrote in the comments section underneath the video, she said.
Online witnesses told Swedish media they had also seen a second video where the same woman then denied being raped, but there was speculation as to whether or not she had done so under her own free will.
According to Sweden's state broadcaster SVT, the men were still filming the follow-up video when the police arrived.
Live-streaming crimes
Facebook started offering live-streaming features at the end of 2015.
It is now regularly used by news organisations for on-the-scene reporting, between friends and peers for fun, and by anyone wanting to share thoughts or events with a wide audience.
However, it has also captured various crimes and acts of violence.
Earlier this month, four people were charged for a hate crime in the US city of Chicago after a live-streamed video on Facebook showed a mentally disabled man being tortured.
In June 2016, Antonio Perkins, 28, also from Chicago, was shot dead while live-streaming a video of himself on the site.
After this, the social network issued more details on its live-streaming policy, saying it would be treated the same as for other content.
The company said footage will not be removed simply because it is violent or graphic, but if it is shared to mock the victim or celebrate the violence it will be taken down.
They said live videos can be reported to a team, which is on call 24 hours a day. Reviewers in the team can interrupt a live stream if it breaches Facebook's community standards.
However, people complained when the Chicago torture video ran for 30 minutes, racking up thousands of views, before it was stopped.
About 13 million pages of declassified documents from the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) have been released online.
The records include UFO sightings and psychic experiments from the Stargate programme, which has long been of interest to conspiracy theorists.
The move came after lengthy efforts from freedom of information advocates and a lawsuit against the CIA.
The full archive is made up of almost 800,000 files.
They had previously only been accessible at the National Archives in Maryland.
The trove includes the papers of Henry Kissinger, who served as secretary of state under presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, as well as several hundred thousand pages of intelligence analysis and science research and development.
Among the more unusual records are documents from the Stargate Project, which dealt with psychic powers and extrasensory perception.
Those include records of testing on celebrity psychic Uri Geller in 1973, when he was already a well-established performer.
Memos detail how Mr Geller was able to partly replicate pictures drawn in another room with varying - but sometimes precise - accuracy, leading the researchers to write that he "demonstrated his paranormal perceptual ability in a convincing and unambiguous manner".
Other unusual records include a collection of reports on flying saucers, and the recipes for invisible ink.
While much of the information has been technically publicly available since the mid-1990s, it has been very difficult to access.
The records were only available on four physical computers located in the back of a library at the National Archives in Maryland, between 09:00 and 16:30 each day.
At the same time, journalist Mike Best crowd-funded more than $15,000 to visit the archives to print out and then publicly upload the records, one by one, to apply pressure to the CIA.
"By printing out and scanning the documents at CIA expense, I was able to begin making them freely available to the public and to give the agency a financial incentive to simply put the database online," Best wrote in a blog post.
This was the first conversation between the two leaders after Mr. Trump was sworn in as the US President on Friday.
Seeking to forge close ties with a crucial ally, U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday invited Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House as they spoke over phone and discussed ways to ensure security and stability in the Middle East.
The President emphasised on the importance the U.S. places on U.S.—Israel close military, intelligence and security cooperation with Israel, which reflects the deep and abiding partnership between the two countries, it said.
Mr. Trump and Mr. Netanyahu agreed to continue to closely consult on a range of regional issues, including addressing the threats posed by Iran, the White House said.
During the call, Mr. Trump invited Mr. Netanyahu “to an early February meeting at the White House”.
“The President affirmed his unprecedented commitment to Israel’s security and stressed that countering ISIL and other radical Islamic terrorist groups will be a priority for his Administration,” it said.
During the call, Mr. Trump emphasised that peace between Israel and the Palestinians can only be negotiated directly between them and that the U.S. will work closely with Israel to make progress towards that goal.
Mr. Trump invited Mr. Netanyahu to an early February meeting at the White House.
Mr. Netanyahu, in a statement released by his office, called the conversation “very warm”. He said he had “expressed his desire to work closely” with the administration, “with no daylight between” the two countries.
This was the first conversation between the two leaders after Mr. Trump was sworn in as the US President on Friday.
A day earlier, he spoke over phone with the Mexican and Canadian leaders.
Relations between Israel and the US were strained under former President Barack Obama and his administration abstained from a UN resolution in December that declared settlement construction in East Jerusalem and in the West Bank illegal.
But the White House statement on the call did not mention Mr. Trump’s suggestion to move the US embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
Mr. Trump pledged during his campaign to move the US embassy, and his designated ambassador to Israel.
No country in the world has its Israel embassy in Jerusalem, which is also claimed by the Palestinians as their capital. While Congress long ago passed a resolution ordering the move, both Republican and Democratic presidents have repeatedly waived the order on national security grounds.
