Hundreds of shoppers were seen fleeing for their lives as a truck smashed into the corner of the department store.

 100 hot air balloons drift across the English Channel in world record attempt

A fleet of colourful hot air balloons has set off across the English Channel in a bid to set a new world record.

Around 100 balloons are thought to be taking part in the attempt, which aims to become the largest group crossing of hot air balloons between England and France.

The skies above Dover filled with the majestic, brightly-coloured balloons shortly after 6.10am, when the fleet began its voyage across one of the world’s busiest shipping lanes.

The crossing made the vision conjured by that 1980s song 99 Red Balloons by Nena pale into bland banality as more than 100 balloons took to the sky in a riot of colours.

Sumich reveals Cousins’ plea for help

At the height of West Coast’s drug scandal in 2007, club great Peter Sumich learned life lessons of such impact he even used them to help educate his own children.

Sumich, who will play a key role in WA football’s revamped junior development system, told of his anger over claims the club’s 2006 premiership was tainted after the secret Gillard report into the Eagles off-field woes was recently revealed.

He said it wasn’t until Ben Cousins finally reached out for help that he and other officials realised about how ill-equipped they had been to deal drug addiction.

“I remember being in the office the day Ben Cousins said to us, ‘I need help’,” Sumich said.

“I’d been in the office before when the finger was pointed at him and he always just said nothing was going on and asked whether we had any proof. But we had nothing — Ben never had a (drugs) strike from the AFL and you never saw any photo or videos until well after the event.

“But this time, he sat in the chair and broke down. I sat back and I nearly started crying, too. We all looked at each other and I remember thinking to myself, ‘How would I know what to do’ — we were coaches of a football side…

Amateur scientists find four new planets while watching TV

Australian amateur scientists have discovered four new planets in space, without the need for a telescope and all from the comfort of their own home.

Four ‘super earth’ planets were discovered by viewers of Stargazing Live, an ABC TV show which on Tuesday looked at research being done by Oxford University.

In it, the show’s viewers were called on to join the hunt for planets by using a website set up by Zooniverse, a crowd-funded Astrophysics group within the University.

Footage of more than 100,000 stars from the powerful Kepler Space Telescope has been uploaded online, and in trawling through the shots space lovers struck gold.

Said to be close to double the size of earth, the four planets are ‘crammed together’ and ‘much closer to the star than even Mercury is to the Sun’, Zooniverse principal investigator Dr Chris Lintott told the ABC.

‘The closest of them whips around in just three-and-a-half days, so a year is only three-and-a-half days long,’ Dr Lintott said.

How Trump unleashed missiles to reach Syria with accuracy

Donald Trump unleashed his Tomahawk barrage on one of al-Assad’s key bases from the sea to avoid upsetting allies and using the huge US military arsenal built up off the coast of Syria.

The US President last night fired 59 missiles at al-Shayrat military airfield near Homs overnight in retaliation for the Syrian leader’s horrific chemical weapons attack on Idlib.

They were launched from his state of the art destroyers USS Ross and USS Porter which can fire dozens of Tomahawks with pinpoint accuracy from up to 1,500 miles away from their targets.

The destroyers’ locations are always kept secret but are believed to have been off the coast of Turkey or Cyprus, around 150 to 200 miles away from al-Shayrat – and fired 30 minutes after they warned the Russians to keep away from the area.

The Tomahawk is the US military’s most advanced missile carrying an 1,000lb bomb and can carry an nuclear warhead…

BREAKING NEWS:

A 31-year-old woman who was thrown from Westminster Bridge as Khalid Masood carried out his deadly terror attack, has died in hospital.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed her life support machine was switched off yesterday.

In a statement, Andreea’s grief stricken family described her as ‘the most unique and life loving person you can imagine’ and said she was ‘cruelly and brutally ripped away from our lives in the most heartless and spiritless way.’

Trump’s Far-Right Supporters Turn on Him Over Syria Strike

Some of President Trump’s most ardent campaign supporters were among his most vocal opponents on Thursday after he ordered the missile strike against Syria, charging him with breaking his promise to keep the United States out of another conflict in the Middle East.

Prominent writers and bloggers on the far right attacked Mr. Trump. They accused him of turning against his voters by waging an attack that he had for years said would be a terrible idea. They also criticized him for launching the strike without first seeking congressional approval — something he said on Twitter in 2013 would be a “big mistake.”

The most vocal in their outrage were leaders from the small but influential white nationalist movement.

Russia calls US airstrikes on Syria an ‘act of aggression’

Russia has called the US airstrikes on Syria an ‘illegal act of aggression’, it has emerged.

The United States fired dozens of cruise missiles at a Syrian airbase this morning from which it said a deadly chemical weapons attack was launched this week.

It marked a dramatic escalation of the US military role in Syria that swiftly drew sharp criticism from Russia.

Russian President Vladimir Putin believes that the missile strikes on a Syrian air base broke international law and have seriously hurt US-Russia relations…

Russia warns of ‘negative consequences’ if U.S. targets Syria

Russia’s deputy U.N. envoy, Vladimir Safronkov, warned on Thursday of “negative consequences” if the United States carries out military strikes on Syria over a deadly toxic gas attack.

“We have to think about negative consequences, negative consequences, and all the responsibility if military action occurred will be on shoulders of those who initiated such doubtful and tragic enterprise,” Safronkov told reporters when asked about possible U.S. strikes.

When asked what those negative consequences could be, he said: “Look at Iraq, look at Libya.”

Max Verstappen posts fastest lap in Chinese #F1GP practice one

The opening practice session for the Chinese Grand Prix was heavily disrupted by the bad weather in Shanghai on Friday.

Following a deluge of overnight rain, the one-and-a-half-hour session was halted after just four minutes with the medical helicopter unable to land at the designated hospital due to the foggy conditions.

The session re-started with a little more than 40 minutes to go, but there was only a smattering of on-track activity with six drivers – including championship protagonists Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel – not bothering to post a competitive lap…

US alerted Russia 30 minutes before airstrike in Syria

Russia received signals the US was launching an airstrike on a Syrian air base about 30 minutes in advance, according to a US official.

The US military fired more than 50 tomahawk missiles at the al-Shayrat military airfield near Homs at 8.45pm on Thursday while President Donald Trump was hosting Chinese President Xi JinPing at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida.

The Russian military, which has ground troops in Syria as well as a fleet of around eight Mi-28N Night Hunter and Ka-52 Alligator gunships stationed at the base, received a ‘deconfliction’ notice, according to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson.

But no direct contact was made between the Trump administration and Russian President Vladimir Putin, with Tillerson emphasizing that they did not seek approval from Moscow.
