11 killed after gunman attacks church in southeast Nigeria

Authorities in Nigeria say at least 11 people are dead and others were critically wounded when gunmen attacked a church in southeastern Nigeria.

Garba Umar, police commissioner of Anambra state, said a gunman attacked St. Philip Catholic Church early Sunday.

But one parishioner, Uche Nonoso, told The Associated Press there were in fact two gunmen and more than 15 killed at the church.

The Rev. Hygi Aghaulor, communications director for the Nnewi Diocese, said the community was praying for the wounded.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but the police say a manhunt has been launched. Authorities said they did not believe Boko Haram was behind the attack. The group has burned hundreds of churches over the past decade.

Mining magnate Andrew Forrest pledges support for Force survival; Australian Rugby Union

IF the Australian Rugby Union want to kill the Western Force, they are going to have to defeat the riches of mining magnate Andrew Forrest first.

The Force’s bid for survival received a massive boost on Saturday when Forrest pledged to do everything within his powers to help the Perth-based franchise avoid the chop.

Forrest, the chairman of Fortescue Metals, is valued at $4.5 billion according to Forbes.

And he has a history of bankrolling causes close to his heart.

Earlier this year, Forrest revealed he would donate $400 million to charity.

Now, the Australian philanthropist has added ‘saving the Force’ to his to-do list.

The ARU will axe either the Rebels or Force ahead of next season.

Rebels owner Andrew Cox has previously stated he won’t sell the licence if it means it will be immediately closed down.

But with Cox losing millions, rumours are circulating he is still in negotiations with the ARU about selling the licence back.

Parking inspector hit-run accused in court drama, tried to escape custody in Freo Court

A MAN who allegedly ran down a parking inspector, pinning him between two cars, remains behind bars after he tried to escape from the dock when he appeared in court today.

Christopher Gethin Lee, 42, had to be restrained by three security officers after he tried to scale the glass barrier of the dock in the Fremantle Magistrate’s Court when he appeared on a string of charges this morning.

Surrounded by another five officers who rushed to the dock as back up, Mr Lee struggled with the officers as they ordered him to get on to the floor and to put his hands behind his back.

Mr Lee repeatedly screamed “I didn’t do anything” and “I’m not resisting” during the dramatic scuffle, which ended with him being lead back to the cells under a heavy guard.

The Riverton man was arrested after he allegedly ran down a parking inspector after he was told to move his Mercedes from an Australia Post parking bay on William Street in Fremantle about 2pm yesterday.

Police say officers Mr Lee left the scene and was later spotted driving erratically on Hampton Road about 3.40pm…

Rihanna dreams of winning the Oscar for Best Actress, insists she wasn’t a diva on set

SHE may have won eight Grammys, two Brits and a string of World’s Sexiest Woman awards – but Rihanna will not be happy until she has an Oscar to her name. The Bajan singer, 29, is returning to the big screen in sci-fi action flick Valerian And The City Of A Thousand Planets, out next month.

And while this role might be more of a summer blockbuster and light on Academy Award-winning angst, RiRi is eyeing up meatier parts so she can join Cher and Jennifer Hudson as pop stars who have won acting’s highest accolade.

She told The Sun on Sunday: “I’d love to get there one day. Who doesn’t want to be told they are doing a great job?

“Any validation that your work is impacting is rewarding. I work hard and put my all into everything I do but the rest isn’t up to me.

“I don’t think anyone makes an album thinking about winning a Grammy, or makes a movie thinking about winning an Oscar. What you do is work as hard as you can and if awards follow, then that’s great.”

Measles scare for passengers Jakarta to Melbourne flight

Passengers on a flight from Jakarta to Melbourne are being warned to watch for measles symptoms after a toddler contracted the highly contagious disease – and he may have caught it on the plane.

Victoria’s acting chief health officer, Brett Sutton, said the three-year-old boy was admitted to hospital on the weekend after flying into Melbourne on Garuda Indonesia flight GA 716 on May 13.

The Department is warning other passengers from the flight to remain alert to the signs and symptoms of measles, which can have an incubation period of up to 18 days.

Symptoms of measles include fever, sore eyes and a cough, followed three or four days later by a red, blotchy rash spreading from the head and neck to the rest of the body.

“Anyone developing symptoms is advised to ring ahead to their GP or hospital first and tell them that they have fever and a rash,” Sutton said in a statement on Monday.

“If you know you have been in contact with a measles case, please alert your GP or hospital emergency department.”

The disease usually initially presents as common cold symptoms that develop into a rash three to seven days later.

The health department says people aged 26 to 42 have the lowest immunisation coverage against the disease but those of any age who are have an impaired immune system are also at higher risk.

This includes people undergoing cancer treatment or on high-dose steroids.

Most cases of measles in Victoria are linked to international travel.
