Police in Kiel say the assault began at around 5:30 pm, when two Afghan males (aged 19 and 26) began stalking and photographing three girls (aged 15, 16 and 17) at a food court in the Sophienhof, a large shopping center near the city's central train station.

After posting photographs of the girls on social media, the two men were quickly joined by at least 30 other migrants who began collectively to harass the girls in a Muslim "rape game" known in Arabic as "taharrush" (al-taharrush al-jinsi, Arabic for "sexual harassment"). When police arrived, the migrants, rather than running way, began verbally and physically abusing the officers, some of whom were injured.

It took police two hours to restore order. The initial two perpetrators, asylum seekers from Afghanistan, were arrested; the other migrants involved in the incident remain at large. Police are now warning about a potential breakdown of public order this summer, when women who are lightly dressed are confronted by young male migrants.

Turmeric was among the first ones on the list and its impact in various types of cancer, as well as a swarm of other diseases, is now undeniable. Ginger is a close relative of turmeric, so scientists thought it might be a good idea to take a closer look at its healing properties. Georgia State University did just that in a trial that involved prostate cancer in mice.

What the scientists found out was awe-inspiring. The mice experienced a reduction in the size of prostate tumors by as much as 56% when taking 6-shoagoal, a pungent compound in ginger that is produced when the root is dried or cooked. By comparison to the treatment of control subjects, ginger proved to be a staggering 10,000x stronger. But the good news doesn't stop here.

Particularly when it comes to prostate cancer, this root helps patients avoid death, unlike the chemotherapy that promotes a weakened immune system and even the metastasis of cancer. Besides slowing down cancer, ginger was proven to be effective for over 100 other ailments, including diabetes, osteoarthritis and chemotherapy-induced nausea. Another good reason why you should definitely try it is the fact that it comes with virtually no side effects. Unlike chemo, ginger acts as a remedy.

Mr Juncker warned "peace is never a sure thing" and appeared to mock David Cameron's EU deal saying the prime minister was grateful for his help in resolving his "self-induced problem". The former prime minister of Luxembourg said: "Whoever does not believe in Europe, whoever doubts Europe, whoever despairs of Europe, should visit the war cemeteries in Europe."

Referring to the refugee crisis and conflict in the Ukraine, he said: “Peace is never a sure thing. Anyone who thinks that peace is set in eternity is fundamentally wrong. And there is war again in Europe.” His comments provoked outrage from 'Out' campaigners. Former soldier and UKIP defence spokesman Mike Hookem described the statement as "stomach churning".

He said: "It's certainly an insight into Mr Juncker's mindset that he thinks fighting monsters like Hitler and the tyranny of fascism was 'enormously stupid' when in fact those men and women were enormously brave and their fight was enormously important. And as we celebrate centenaries of the First World War, including the Battle of the Somme this year, we should be loudly giving thanks to all those who fought for our liberty and freedom against a German Empire. This is all part of a protracted effort to scare people into voting to stay in the EU because they know their 'economic' arguments are valueless."

Dr Liam Fox, the former defence secretary, added: “The military cemeteries of Europe are testament to the failure of the continent to control extremism in the twentieth century. Had Britain not been a free and independent nation, we would have been unable to intervene to protect Europe from the result of its own folly. Before we are lectured by the European Commission, we should take a look at the rise of extremism across the continent and ask whether they are helping or hurting.”

When Adenauer became West German Chancellor after the war, he drew on that same tradition. And one of his major achievements – shared with those other Catholic statesmen, Alcide De Gasperi in Italy and Robert Schuman in France – was the work of European unification which would become the European Union.

Whatever the EU is today, its beginnings are inseparable from Catholic thought. When the British government, in the early 1950s, was weighing up the pros and cons of joining the European project, one significant worry was its noticeably Catholic flavour. Conspiracy theorists still argue that the whole idea of European “union” is a Vatican plot, probably inspired by the Antichrist.

Recent popes have recognised that Europe has problems that need to be addressed. “But they have never suggested that we will do this if we abandon the European project or the quest for ever closer union.” What’s needed, Father Ashley Beck, who teaches at St Mary’s University, Twickenham says, is for Catholics to involve themselves in European institutions, and reconnect the EU with its Christian roots. Those roots run impressively deep.

Arguing that the liberal system of globalization has failed, the minister stressed that the world is standing at a crossroads, where a new system of international relations is taking shape. At such an important historical junction, Lavrov says it is wrong to accuse Russia of “revisionism” just because Moscow refuses to bow or close its eyes to NATO’s policies.

“A reliable solution to the problems of the modern world can only be achieved through serious and honest cooperation between the leading states and their associations in order to address common challenges,” Lavrov wrote. The most pressing issue in the modern world is the threat of terrorism, which can only be defeated by a united front, he added.

The foreign minister stressed that Russia is not seeking any “confrontation” with the US or the EU. On the contrary, Moscow is and has always been open to “the widest possible cooperation with its Western partners.” Russia continues to support the notion that the best way to ensure the interests of Europeans would be “to form a common economic and humanitarian space from the Atlantic to the Pacific, so that the newly formed Eurasian Economic Union could be an integrating link between Europe and Asia Pacific.”

He then added: “How many invasions has Europe experienced in the course of its history! But it’s always been able to overcome them and move forward, finding itself complemented and improved by the cultural exchange they brought about.”

The Pontiff also reflected on the history of migration into Europe and the positive impact it has had on European culture as we now know it. The Pope also declared that Europe is “the only continent that can bring some unity to the world”. He then added, that in order to fulfill its “universal role”, Europe must “rediscover its cultural roots”.

The modern nation-state model is still strong in most parts of the Muslim world. And, I believe, it’s still the preferred option for most Muslims today. But the long century that has passed since the First World War has been increasingly marked by frustration. It’s littered with the broken promises of Muslim rulers to bring about a transition to more representative forms of government. And it has been marked by a sense that Western powers continue to control and manipulate events in the region, in a way that doesn’t always represent the best interests of Muslim societies.

An extreme high point of frustration was reached in the events of the so-called Arab Spring. The wave of popular demonstrations against the autocratic regimes of the Arab world were seen as the first winds of change that would bring about democracy to the region. But, with the possible exception of Tunisia, all of these countries underwent either destabilisation (Libya, Syria), the return of military rule (Egypt) or the further clamping down on civil rights (Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and other Gulf monarchies).

I would hesitate to describe IS’s declaration of a caliphate as a serious challenge to the modern nation-state model. But the small, albeit substantial, stream of followers it manages to recruit daily shows it would be wrong to take for granted that the terms of the international order can simply be dictated from above forever. When brute force increasingly has the final say over how people live their lives, it becomes harder for them to differentiate between the lesser of two evils.

The amount of gold the Canadian government holds has therefore been falling steadily since the mid-1960s, when over 1,000 tonnes were kept tucked away. Half of those reserves were sold by 1985, and then almost all the rest were sold through the 1990s up to 2002.

This latest sell-off is indeed part of a much longer-term pattern of moving away from gold as a government-held asset. According to economist Ian Lee of the Sprott School of Business at Carleton University, Ottawa has no real reason to keep its gold reserves other than adhering to tradition.

According to Lee, there may soon come a time when Canada’s gold reserves are entirely a thing of the past. There are better assets to focus on, he argued, calling the government’s decision to dump gold “wise and astute.”

Lee was right, because fast forward one month when earlier today Canada's Department of Finance released its latest official international reserves and as of this moment it's official - Canada has fully "broken away with tradition" and has exactly zero gold left.

A Republican hopeful seeking the support of a room full of pro-Israel Republicans, he doubted Israel’s willingness to make peace and declined to call Jerusalem the undivided capital of the Jewish state, a position that is held by most other candidates in his party.

But what most of the headlines coming out of the gathering highlighted was the manner in which Trump invoked what many consider to be offensive Jewish stereotypes, which included him saying, “You’re not gonna support me because I don’t want your money. You want to control your politicians, that’s fine.” When the crowd erupted with boos over his answer to the Jerusalem question, Trump tried to reassure them. “Do me a favor, just relax,” he said. “You’ll like me very much, believe me.”

But following Trump’s strong Super Tuesday showing — in which he won eight of the 11 states that held GOP primary contests — people aren’t relaxing, and the question of what a Trump presidency would mean for Israel is becoming an increasingly pressing one for those who care about the country’s future.
