Bruno Mars Donates $1 Million To Help Victims Of Flint Water Crisis; CLIP
When Bruno Mars announced at a Michigan concert on Saturday that he’d donated proceeds from the sold-out show to support the victims of the Flint water crisis, the cheers and applause from the crowd were deafening.
“You guys showed me this much love and support tonight, I want to do something special,” the singer said, interrupting a performance of his hit song “Just the Way You Are.” “Tonight I’m going to donate $1 million to our brothers and sisters in Flint, Michigan.”
According to Rolling Stone, Mars donated the funds to the Community Foundation of Greater Flint, an organization that continues to assist victims and community members as Flint’s water crisis, which began in 2014, drags on. Flint Mayor Karen Weaver said in March that it could be years before the water in the city is safe to drink again.

Cops on bikes break up Perth street brawl
WILD footage has emerged of an alleged overnight brawl in Northbridge – with a member of the bike police breaking up the fight with a flying tackle.
The video, filmed around 1.15am from the balcony of the Brass Monkey, shows an alleged fight starting outside the venue on the corner of James and William Streets.
Police say they were called to the intersection and took one man into custody but have been unable to confirm whether the man was charged or issued with a move-on notice.
The video shows the alleged fight start between two men and then involve a third as it spills out into the middle of the intersection.
It’s then that a member of the WA Police’s bike patrol team steps in to dramatically break it up, executing a flying tackle on a shirtless man, who is subsequently led away by officers.

Former Perth schoolboy Henri van Breda pleads not guilty to killing family in South Africa
Henri van Breda is accused of a triple axe murder and attempting to kill his 16-year-old sister Marli in an alleged attack at the family’s home.
Marli van Breda managed to survive despite having her jugular severed.
But the former Perth teen has amnesia and can not remember what happened in the attack that killed her parents Martin and Teresa, and brother Rudi.
The attack happened in an exclusive gated community near Cape Town in January 2015.
It’s taken more than two years for former Scotch College pupil Henri’s case to go to trial.
Proceedings are officially under way in the Western Cape High Court in South Africa.

Humanity might have received a signal from aliens that it isn’t checking, says Harvard professor
Fast radio bursts, long thought to be perhaps the most mysterious message in the universe, might actually be evidence of advanced alien technology, according to Avi Loeb of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. But researchers might not be doing enough to check whether the source of them is what Professor Loeb speculates – leakage from planet-sized transmitters that are powering interstellar probes in distant galaxies.
“Fast radio bursts are exceedingly bright given their short duration and origin at great distances, and we haven’t identified a possible natural source with any confidence,” said theorist Avi Loeb of the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. “An artificial origin is worth contemplating and checking.”…
