Dockers debutant Ryan Nyhuis hero: Freo clinch 4-point thriller over North Melbourne

RYAN Nyhuis has never kicked a goal at WAFL level.

Yet somehow the lock-down defender became the hero up forward on debut for Fremantle in a four-point win over North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium.

Trailing by seven points with under five minutes on the clock, the Dockers were seemingly destined to fade out of the game, with little working for them forward of centre.

With no Cam McCarthy and Hayden Ballantyne having a shocker, it was Nyhuis who stood up and delivered.

The 20-year-old from the Northern Territory got the visitors back within a point with a booming goal from beyond 50. Minutes later he calmly converted a set shot to give the Dockers the lead…

Tour de France Gets Some Much-Needed Chaos in Grueling Stage and a surprise win

The Tour de France hit the most grueling stage of the race so far on Saturday, rolling through the Jura hills so fast that it briefly rediscovered something it had lost in recent years: a little bit of chaos.

The 116.5-mile, up-and-down stage brought a mess of attacks, huge fractures in the peloton, and a surprise win for a French Tour rookie who nearly cramped his way out of contention. Two different riders threatened to steal the leader’s yellow jersey. In fact, the pace was so high that rider Geraint Thomas said there wasn’t even time for a “nature break.”

For fans and Tour de France romantics, it was exactly what this race had been missing. The only group that hated it was the defending champion, Team Sky. Chaos isn’t how the British outfit rode to victory in four of the past five Tours. For a team that obsesses over every nugget of data at all times, chaos is the enemy.

So with 20 miles and a nasty climb to go on Saturday, Team Sky, the deepest, richest team in the sport, did what it does best and killed the party.

Overall race leader Chris Froome and his Sky lieutenants drove the main bunch like a locomotive to close the gaps to their nearest rivals and retain the yellow jersey. (The day’s winner, 24-year-old Lilian Calmejane, isn’t a general classification threat.) Sky is now the first team in 40 years to hold on to the overall lead through the first eight stages of a Tour.

“Really, really tough day,” said QuickStep Floors rider Dan Martin, who took 13th on the stage. “The way Sky rode, and with that finish, you were never going to get anywhere anyway.”

It Comes At Night review and rating (2017)

IT COMES AT NIGHT (MA15+)

THE world has not quite ended in the perplexing, haunting and unapologetically bleak thriller that is It Comes at Night.

However, if mankind’s time on Earth was a book, we are well into the final chapter as this terrifying tension-magnet of a movie experience begins.

The devastation wrought by some kind of highly infectious plague is barely being kept at bay by the three residents of a heavily fortified cabin in the woods.

In a truly haunting opening scene, the trio are seen bidding a last farewell to someone who once lived under the same roof.

As it is throughout the story, reliable data on what we are seeing in this eerie prologue is hard to come by.

An elderly gentleman has contracted the plague. Though still alive, he is clearly on his last legs. That’s why he is being carted along in a wheelbarrow towards a clearing in the nearby forest.

There is a freshly dug hole in the ground. One member of the group keeping him company and offering the last vestiges of solace is brandishing a gun. All three upright souls are wearing gas masks.

The post office that could topple Turnbull

“Price reduced for quick sale”. The suburban post office that has sparked a High Court challenge against a federal minister and threatens to topple the Turnbull government is on the market.

Assistant Health Minister David Gillespie’s political future is on the line – and so is the government’s one-seat majority – after Labor launched a constitutional challenge against his eligibility last week.

The opposition believes he may have an indirect financial interest in the Commonwealth – grounds for disqualification from office under section 44 of the constitution – because he leases a commercial space to an Australia Post licensee at Lighthouse Beach, near the NSW coastal city of Port Macquarie.

If the High Court finds he was invalidly elected it will spark a by-election in the National MP’s seat of Lyne and cause a massive political headache for Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.

If Dr Gillespie’s election is ruled invalid, it is believed he may be able to stand again in a by-election and re-win the seat – but not if he retains the offending interest…

Blac Chyna: ‘I fell down from the blow’ …with bruises and struggling to walk

BLAC Chyna has signed a sworn statement that Rob Kardashian abused her during their relationship, which left her with bruises and struggling to walk.

The statement is part of a restraining order that Chyna filed ahead of a court hearing on Monday.

She says that Kardashian abused her both physically and emotionally during their relationship and that she was scared of him.

Kardashian posted naked pictures of Chyna on social media on Wednesday and accusing her of cheating on him with other men.

“Just sad. Loved Chyna as my wife and accepted all the wrong she did and continued to ride for her and remain Loyal to her. Never did I cheat,” Kardashian tweeted. “But she couldn’t remain loyal and cheated and f**ked way too many people and she got caught and now this is all happening and it’s sad.”

Chyna claims that Kardashian abused her in front of her four-year-old son, King Cairo.

“Rob immediately grabbed my phone and pushed me to ground by aggressively shoving me by the side of my arm and hitting me on the thigh,” Chyna said in her statement to the court.

“I fell down from the blow to my thigh and could hardly walk for a while after that. It left a bruise where he hit me,” she said.

“Rob has been violent with me in the past and I am afraid to be around him,” Chyna said in her statement.

G20: Trump cut an ‘uneasy, lonely, awkward figure’ among other leaders viral take-down

IT ISN’T how Donald Trump would like his first G20 remembered, but a savage assessment of his “friendless” visit with other world leaders is going viral online.

ABC’s political editor Chris Uhlmann didn’t pull any punches when he delivered his wrap-up of Trump’s appearance at the conference, calling him an “uneasy, lonely, awkward figure” who was left “isolated and friendless” with “no desire and no capacity to lead the world”.

“He has a particular skill set: he’s identified an illness in Western democracies, but he has no cure for it and seems intent on exploiting it,” the veteran journalist said.

And according to Uhlmann, we all need to give up on any hope that the speeches written for Trump and delivered by the man himself are any reflection of his true thoughts.

“It’s the unscripted Trump that’s real: a man who barks out bile in 140 characters, who wastes his precious days as President at war with the West’s institutions like the judiciary, independent government agencies, and the free press.”

Uhlmann also pointed out that given the uncomfortable divide between himself and the most of the other G20 leaders on the Paris Climate Accord, a “deft” President would have found a topic with which to rally them.

“And he had the perfect one: North Korea’s missile tests,” the reporter explained.

“Other leaders expected it [a statement condemning it], they were prepared to back it, but it never came.”

At the end of the two minute video, Uhlmann provided a chilling prediction for the future under this US President.

“Donald Trump has pressed fast forward on the decline of the United States as a global leader. Some will cheer the decline of America, but I think we’ll miss it when it’s gone — and that’s the biggest threat to the values of the West, which he claims to hold so dear.”

What a bunch of amateurs: White House calls Xi Jinping president of Taiwan

‘What a bunch of amateurs’: diplomatic gaffe in official statement from Trump administration leaves China experts incredulous as leaders meet at G20

Donald Trump hailed his “wonderful relationship” with Xi Jinping during talks at the G20 – although his felicitations were undermined when the White House mistakenly referred to the Communist party chief as the president of Taiwan.

Trump and the Chinese president met for more than 90 minutes in Hamburg on Saturday afternoon with North Korea’s nuclear programme and trade dominating the agenda.

Trump struck a superficially friendly note, despite mounting tensions between the world’s top two economies. “It’s an honour to have you as a friend,” he told Xi according to a statement from the White House press secretary…

However, the US statement contained a critical error. Rather than referring to Xi by his correct title – president of the People’s Republic of China – it identified him as president of the Republic of China, the official name for Taiwan.

Taiwan’s democratically elected president is Tsai Ing-wen, a London School of Economics graduate who is both the most powerful woman in the Chinese-speaking world and one of Xi Jinping’s arch rivals.

China specialists immediately picked up on the blunder – as, too, would have Beijing. “What a bunch of amateurs,” tweeted Bill Bishop, the publisher of Sinocism, a newsletter about China’s economy and politics.

“It’s a pretty major faux pas,” said Bonnie Glaser, a China expert at Washington’s Centre for Strategic and International Studies.

SHOCKING Google’s anti-competitive behavior. Online shoppers get higher prices because of tactics

Online shoppers see higher prices because of the company’s tactics.

After an extensive investigation, the European Union found last week that Google has, for many years, violated European antitrust law by rigging its general search results to favor its own comparison shopping service over rivals. But a recent Post editorial faults the E.U. for imposing a $2.7 billion fine on the company.

The editorial board questioned whether Google’s conduct hurt either competitors (who were just “unlucky,” according to The Post) or consumers. It claimed that users “may well prefer to see” Google’s results first and that the fine “seems to be a case of punishment without crime.”

This view ignores the facts. Google painstakingly executed a strategy to increase its search-ad revenue by making it both possible and necessary for merchants to raise prices to consumers, as a review of studies from the E.U., the U.S. Federal Trade Commission and others show. And as a result, Google’s ad revenue has soared at the expense of its users…

No Justice for Women in Lawless Afghan She was buried waist deep, stoned to death. No one has been arrested.

 

There are three versions of how Tabaruk, a mother of six, died this spring during a journey through treacherous snow-covered mountains in Afghanistan.

She and her family had been expelled from their village in Ghor Province because her teenage daughter, Mah Yamsar, was said to have brought dishonor by becoming pregnant out of wedlock.

The police in Ghor say Tabaruk fell off her horse and died.

Members of the provincial council and human rights activists say she was pushed off a cliff, and then tied to a horse and dragged around until dead.

A third version of the story was told to Mah Yamsar by her 8-year-old brother, who was traveling with Tabaruk at the time. “They killed my mother with the bullets of a gun,” the brother recounted.

If Afghanistan is one of the worst places to be a woman, then Ghor, a province so lawless that people often wonder if there is a government there at all, may be the country’s capital of gender-based violence and abuse. Week after week there are reports of women abused or killed in Ghor by men who never face justice…

#F1 ‘Red Mist’ over Champions

#F1 Bottas will not ‘back up’ Sebastian Vettel, ‘start playing games like that …it’s tricky’

Bottas starts from pole with Vettel second and Hamilton down in eighth after a five-place grid penalty.

Hamilton is 14 points behind Vettel in the championship.

But Hamilton said it “made no sense” for Bottas to ‘back up’ Vettel so he could catch up, adding: “It makes more sense for him to win the race.”

Bottas added: “From what I’ve seen on the pre-race strategy notes, that kind of plan is not on those notes.

“We need to focus on having a good start of the race and we need to win the race. And for sure Lewis can fight back from where he’s starting.”

Female ISIS suicide bomber cradling BABY before blowing both up in attack on Iraqi troops

CHILLING pictures are believed to show a female ISIS fighter clutching a baby moments before detonating her suicide vest.

The shocking images were captured by an Iraqi TV station moments before the suspected suicide bomber killed herself and the baby in an attack targeting Iraqi troops in Mosul, The Telegraph reports.

She can be seen holding her handbag and what appears to be a trigger in one hand, while cradling the tot in the other.

A cameraman for al-Mawsleya TV reportedly told The Telegraph the woman tried to detonate the vest near some soldiers, but it only went off once she had walked away.

The station didn’t realise it had caught her on camera until they analysed footage later.

The Sun Online has not been able to independently verify the identity of the woman.

The bomber and the baby were said to have died in the blast, while two soldiers and several civilians were injured.

It comes as the battle for Mosul nears its end, with the evil terror group cornered into a tiny square of the historic Old City.

Just a few hundred jihadis remain in the area, with airstrikes and artillery salvos pulverising their last line of defence.

G20: Trump’s awkward performance indicate America’s decline as world power?

The G20 became the G19 as it ended. On the Paris climate accords the United States was left isolated and friendless.

It is, apparently, where this US President wants to be as he seeks to turn his nation inward.

Donald Trump has a particular, and limited, skill-set. He has correctly identified an illness at the heart of the Western democracy. But he has no cure for it and seems to just want to exploit it.

He is a character drawn from America’s wild west, a travelling medicine showman selling moonshine remedies that will kill the patient.

And this week he underlined he has neither the desire nor the capacity to lead the world.

Given the US was always going to be one out on climate change, a deft American President would have found an issue around which he could rally most of the leaders.

He had the perfect vehicle — North Korea’s missile tests.

So, where was the G20 statement condemning North Korea? That would have put pressure on China and Russia? Other leaders expected it and they were prepared to back it but it never came.

There is a tendency among some hopeful souls to confuse the speeches written for Mr Trump with the thoughts of the man himself.
