First photos of Trump’s border wall prototypes revealed

Eight prototypes for Donald Trump’s proposed Mexico border wall are taking shape at a construction site in San Diego.

The prototypes, which cost the US Government up to $US500,000 each, form a tightly packed row of imposing concrete and metal panels.

One has sharp metal edges on top, while another has a surface resembling an expensive brick driveway.

The models, spaced around 9 metres apart, stand in the dirt just a few steps from homes in Tijuana, Mexico.

Fatberg ‘as heavy as 11 double-decker buses’ + 250-metre-long, found in London sewer

A sewer war is launched by British engineers to dissolve a fatberg as heavy as 11 double-decker buses that’s clogging a Victorian-era sewer tunnel in London.

Eight workers are using high-powered jet hoses to break up the fatberg in Whitechapel before sucking it out into tankers for disposal at a recycling site…

‘No one’s born hating another person’: Obama tops Twitter’s most liked list

A tweet from former US president Barack Obama in response to the Charlottesville clashes is the most liked of all time.

“No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin or his background or his religion,” the tweet said.

It has been liked more than 2.77 million times since it was posted on August 13.

The tweet was part of a series of three tweets sent by Mr Obama, quoting late South African president Nelson Mandela’s 1994 biography, Long Walk to Freedom.

“People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love … For love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite,” the other tweets said.

The most liked tweet was posted alongside a photo of Mr Obama visiting a day care facility in Maryland back in 2011.

His tweet came as US President Donald Trump was sharply criticised for waiting too long to condemn the white nationalist groups involved in the deadly clashes.

Matildas make history, beating United States 1-0 in Seattle for first-ever win over rivals

The Matildas make history, with Tameka Butt giving Australia a first-ever win over the United States at the Tournament of Nations.

Tameka Butt’s second-half strike has given the Matildas a first-ever victory over women’s soccer powerhouse the United States.

Australia took it up to the world champions and the visitors were richly rewarded in their meeting at the Tournament of Nations on Friday (AEST).

One of Australian sport’s longest hoodoos was ended by the Matildas’ vibrant and cohesive display in Seattle.

Butt scored the only goal of the game in the 67th minute.

Emily Van Egmond flicked a ball over the American defence to the waiting Butt, who steadied and lashed the ball past Alyssa Naeher from short-range.

The landmark result ends the USA’s long domination over Australia in women’s soccer.

Not in 27 previous meetings had the Matildas beaten the US, and not in 12 years had Australia even drawn.

But the effervescent display will have Alen Stajcic’s side dreaming of bigger things at next year’s Asian Cup and the 2019 World Cup.

Josh Warneke murder: police say mystery woman could hold ‘significant’ information

POLICE investigating the Josh Warneke murder mystery in Broome have confirmed that a mystery woman who called Crime Stoppers with information three weeks ago has made contact with them again.

Detectives appealed for the woman to get back in touch yesterday as the State Government announced that the reward for information that helps to finally solve the case had been increased to $250,000.

What the mystery woman had to say has not been revealed, but police yesterday said they believed she could make a “significant” contribution to the inquiry.

She was one of many people who contacted either Crime Stoppers or the Broome Police Station yesterday with information after the announcement of the reward was made.

Mr Warneke, 21, was found dead on a Broome roadside in the early hours of January 26, 2010.

It is understood he had suffered a serious injury to the back of his head which is believed to have been caused by a blow from a heavy object.

The case is now being re-investigated by officers from the cold case homicide squad after a man who was convicted of the crime was released earlier this year following an appeal.

Winx makes it 16 wins in a row at George Ryder Stakes

Champion mare Winx has made it 16 wins in a row, ploughing through a heavy track at Rosehill for an easy victory in the Group One George Ryder Stakes (1500m).

Jockey Hugh Bowman ran Winx wide for much of the race, finally cruising to the lead at the 300m mark before powering home to win by at least six lengths over Le Romain with Chautauqua third.

“She’s just so special. I’m at a loss to explain it,” Bowman said.
