Afghanistan’s capital city has been hit by one of the worst terror attacks in its history as the death toll rises to 90, with over 400 more injured.

The suicide-bomber who detonated outside an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester last night killing 22 people – including an eight-year old girl – and injuring 59 more, has been named as 22-year old Salman Abedi.

Despite many of us growing up with a stuffed-bear as a friend, in reality they can be pretty scary animals. I’m sure you’re familiar with Leo DiCaprio’s Oscar winning role in The Revenant. If so, you’ll remember that a bear almost sends Leo’s character to an early grave. Despite his miraculous recovery, the take home
Fans of Stephen King were positively giddy on social media today after the second trailer dropped for the upcoming It adaptation. It’s fair to say it’s an absolute scare-fest, with several social commentators claiming it’s the creepiest trailer of all the year. Let’s set the scene: a turn of events leads to the Losers’ club to

It was a $5.35 order of McNuggets and fries that ultimately led to the death of Steve Stephens in Pennsylvania on Tuesday. Stephens was on the run since Easter Sunday when he shot and killed 74-year old Robert Godwin Snr, before uploading the horrific video to his Facebook profile. Stephens didn’t know Godwin, nor had
Kim Jung-Un’s beaming grin did the rounds last week as everyone’s (least) favourite dictator watched North Korea’s latest missiles and military force parade in front of him. We all know Kim loves a missile. The big question is what sort of arsenal does he have at his disposal? He’s fired several medium-range missiles into the
Steve Stephens has shot himself during a police chase in the city of Erie, Pennsylvania. Stephens murdered a 74-year old stranger in Cleveland, Ohio on Easter Sunday following an argument with his girlfriend.
