Two dead, children trapped after quake hits Italian island

A magnitude-4.0 earthquake struck the Italian holiday island of Ischia, causing destruction that left two people dead at peak tourist season, authorities said, as rescue workers struggled to free two children from the rubble.

A woman was killed in Casamicciola, in the north of the small tourist island, hit by debris that fell from a church, with the body of another spotted in the rubble of a collapsed house, local media reported.

Around 4am (0200 GMT) emergency workers rescued a seven-month-old baby, crying but alive, after hours of effort. They were still struggling to free the baby’s two brothers, who were alive but trapped and communicating with emergency services through the rubble, according to Naples prefecture.

According to local media, the two children, aged 4 and 7, are trapped under a bed but are in touch with rescue workers by phone. It was their pregnant mother, healthy and safe, who raised the alarm. The father was rescued at 2:30am local time.

“In Casamicciola, a building collapsed and three people were pulled alive from the rubble — two women and a man,” the head of the local department of civil protection, Angelo Borrelli, said at a press conference early Tuesday.

Two small communes, Casamicciola and neighbouring Lacco Ameno, had borne the brunt of the quake, he added.

The tremor hit the northwest of the island at 8:57 pm (1957 GMT), with a depth of some 10 kilometres.

Italian authorities first put Monday’s quake at 3.6, but subsequently revised it upward to 4.0 magnitude.

The main earthquake was followed by 14 smaller aftershocks, Borrelli said.

Several buildings in the area collapsed and others had large, ominous cracks.

This Barack Obama quote about Trump is now more terrifying than ever

There  are regular protests up and down the country .

This Barack Obama quote can go a long way to explaining the ongoing panic.

During the last few days of campaigning in 2016, it was reported that a Trump staffer confiscated his Twitter, given his laissez-faire stance with logic and tact.

President Obama commented eloquently on this while he was campaigning for Hillary Clinton:

‘In the last two days, they had so little confidence in his self-control they said we are just going to take away your Twitter. Now, if somebody can’t handle a Twitter account, they can’t handle the nuclear codes.

If somebody starts tweeting at three in the morning because SNL made fun of you, then you can’t handle the nuclear codes.’

Well, he’s had the nuclear codes for  100 days now. So far, so good… Right?

Large blast , fire at Damascus airport

Large blast , fire at Damascus airport

Syrian opposition activists and a monitor say a large explosion has rocked the Syrian capital, followed by a fire near Damascus airport.

The head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights Rami Abdurrahman says the explosion early on Thursday was heard across the capital, jolting residents awake. He says the explosion is reported to have occurred near the Damascus airport road.

The dawn explosion has also been reported by other activists’ networks but the source is unclear.

Activist-operated Diary of a Mortar, which reports from Damascus, says the explosion near the airport road was followed by flames rising above the area. A pro-government site Damascus Now says the explosion was near the city’s Seventh Bridge, which leads to the airport road.

Pro-Hezbollah TV said the blast near fuel tanks and warehouses near the airport were likely caused by an Israeli air strike.

The al-Manar television channel said initial indications were that the blast had caused only material damage and not deaths.
