Russia opposition leader Alexei Navalny detained before Moscow protest

Anti-corruption campaigner was seeking to capitalise on growing support by repeating protests that rattled the Kremlin in March

The Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny has been detained outside his home after he called on his supporters to take to the streets of Moscow to demonstrate the growing momentum behind his protest movement.

The lawyer turned anti-corruption campaigner, who wants to challenge Vladimir Putin for the presidency next year, is popular among a minority of the population, but his support is growing. A protest in March against alleged corruption by the prime minister, Dmitry Medvedev, drew an estimated 60,000 people to streets in cities across Russia.

Dangers of swimming with a new tattoo exposed in alarming images of man who died from infection

The dangers of swimming with a new tattoo have been demonstrated in a series of alarming images. Tattoo artists generally advise not entering the sea or freshwater until two weeks after ink has been applied.  But in a worst-case-scenario, a 31-year-old man with a heavy drinking habit caught a dangerous bacteria while swimming in the Gulf of Mexico.

The vibrio vulnificus bug is believed to have entered his body through the raw tattoo wound and later killed him.

The findings were demonstrated in the journal BMJ Case Reports, which published the case to highlight the risks of the infection combined with liver cirrhosis.

Zuma wants land owned by white ‘occupiers’ to be taken

Critics have warned that the move could trigger a race war in South Africa. Zuma, 74, yesterday called for black parties to unite on the controversial land seizures.

South African president Jacob Zuma has called on lawmakers to help seize white-owned land without compensation – to establish ‘pre-colonial’ patterns.

But he has been warned that the measure would trigger a racial war in a country historically blighted by racial tensions.

Speaking to parliament, he called for unity between black parties. The controversial move would require a change to the constitution.
