Original Godzilla suit actor Haruo Nakajima dies

The man who first bought the beloved and feared monster Godzilla to life has died, the film company behind the monster says.

Haruo Nakajima, who wore the Godzilla suit in 12 movies, died on Monday from pneumonia at the age of 88, it said.

In an interview this year Nakajima explained how the original 1954 costume was created from ready-mixed concrete and weighed up to 100kg (220lbs).

He said he studied animals in the Tokyo zoo to prepare for the role.

Nakajima started off as a stunt actor in samurai and war films including “Seven Samurai” by Akira Kurosawa.

He first played Godzilla – a giant beast who emerges from the deep after a nuclear test – in the 1954 film entitled Godzilla directed by Ishiro Honda and produced by the famed Japanese film studio Toho.

He went on to play the character in consecutive sequels as well as playing other beasts Rodan, Mothra and King Kong.

His last outing in the suit was in the 1972 Godzilla vs. Gigan.

Two killed, four wounded in German disco shooting: police

A gunman opened fire at a disco in southern Germany early Sunday, killing one and wounding four before being shot by police, officials said in a statement.

The suspect suffered life-threatening injuries in a gunfight with police officers outside the music venue after they had rushed to the scene shortly after the incident around 0230 GMT.

The suspect has been taken to hospital. The motive for the shooting is unclear. One police officer was also injured in the exchange of fire with the suspect.

Police said in a statement that special commando forces have been deployed in the city as it was not clear if the suspected had acted alone or had accomplices.

Child-porn website creator accidentally reveals IP address, leading to 870 arrests

Child-porn website creator accidentally reveals IP address, leading to 870 arrests

The full scale of an investigation into a worldwide paedophile ring has been released by the FBI and Europol after the creator of a child pornography website was sentenced to more than 30 years in prison.

Florida man Steven Chase, 58, was this week sentenced in a North Carolina federal courtroom on multiple child pornography and child exploitation charges, the FBI said.

Officials said he was the creator and lead administrator of child pornography website Playpen, which had more than 150,000 members before it was shut down.

Members uploaded and viewed tens of thousands of postings of young victims, categorised by age, sex and the type of sexual activity involved.

In January 2015, the FBI and the US Department of Justice launched Operation Pacifier in an effort to track down Playpen’s thousands of members.

The operation received support from Europol and other law enforcement agencies around the world.

As a result there were 368 arrests or convictions in Europe and 350 in the US, with a total of 870 worldwide, according to information released by the FBI and Europol.

The FBI said 296 sexually abused children were identified or rescued internationally.

Europol’s executive director Rob Wainwright called it “one of the most important investigations of online child sexual abuse ever conducted”.

Michael Fluckiger, 46, of Indiana, and David Browning, 47, of Kentucky were also identified as administrators of the website and each received 20-year prison terms earlier this year.

The FBI said Chase created Playpen in August 2014 on Tor, an open network on the internet where users can communicate anonymously through “hidden service” websites.

Tor was created by the US Naval Research Laboratory as a means of protecting government communications, US attorney Jill Rose noted in a written response to a motion to have Chase’s indictment dismissed.

But she said the network had a downside.

“The Tor network is a haven for criminal activity in general, and the online sexual exploitation of children in particular,” she wrote.

Chase accidentally reveals Playpen’s IP address

The FBI said it became aware of the site after it launched, but Special Agent Dan Alfin said that because of how Tor worked, there was not much agents could do about it.

But in December 2014, agents said Chase slipped up and revealed Playpen’s IP address, which was a location in the US.

The mistake was caught by overseas law enforcement, which then informed the FBI.

In launching its own investigation, the FBI learned that the computer server that hosted Playpen was located at a web-hosting facility in North Carolina and that Chase was the administrator of the server, Ms Rose wrote.

Heart attack fears over use of common painkillers

Common painkillers taken by millions of Britons can raise the risk of a heart attack by up to 50 percent, researchers have found.

And one, diclofenac, is so dangerous it should not be taken at all, one expert warned.

Others such as ibuprofen, which is sold over the counter in the UK, are not ‘harmless’ and should be used with caution.

Diclofenac and ibuprofen – taken for back pain, headaches, arthritis, period pains and other ailments – were associated with a 50 percent and 31 percent increased risk, respectively.

The findings follow research last year which showed patients who regularly take the painkillers are up to 20 percent more likely to develop heart failure.
