Inside Britain's first ever 'Flat Earth convention' Hundreds of conspiracy theorists who are convinced the Earth is flat gathered at a conference in Britain at the weekend. The UK's first Flat Earth Convention took place over three days at a hotel in Birmingham and saw nine speakers take the stage to discuss the shape of our planet. Among the more than 200 believers who attended were IT consultants and an NHS manager as well as off-grid 'environmentalists'. One speaker at the event, which charged £107 ($147) for a three-day ticket, even claimed 'gravity doesn't exist'. According to the Telegraph, Dave Marsh, an NHS manager who spoke at the conference, said: 'My research destroys big bang cosmology. 'It supports the idea that gravity doesn't exist and the only true force in nature is electromagnetism.' In his speech, Mr Marsh claimed he had disproved planetary motion using a Nikon camera and an app from his back garden. Those who beli...

Iran's secret nuclear weapons program revealed by Netanyahu Israel's prime minister says that his intelligence services have obtained documents proving that Iran has maintained a secret nuclear program in violation of a landmark agreement Tehran reached with the West. President Donald Trump used the revelations to insist that he's been proved '100 per cent right' about Iran, minutes after Benjamin Netanyahu gave a televised address on Monday evening during which he presented documents obtained from inside Iran.

Harry drops Bachelor diet under the influence of Meghan Before he met Meghan, Prince Harry’s diet was typical of a young bachelor. He’s been seen in a branch of Byron Burger just down the road from Kensington Palace (where a single burger without chips is a hefty 700 calories), and he’s also been spotted in a local pizzeria Bunga Bunga and at high-end je*k chicken restaurant R*m Kitchen in Notting Hill. He’s also partial to fast food: old Army colleagues say he ‘lived off Kentucky Fried Chicken’ and he’s been seen carrying boxes from McDonald’s. He also liked to drink b*er. Indeed, once Harry was so uninterested in healthy food he barely shopped for himself — William who lives close to his home in the grounds of Kensington Palace, complained that he would raid his fridge. What a change, then, his new wedding diet is — on the ‘clean eating’ regime inspired by Meghan Markle he has lost more than half a stone and is cutting a svelte figure As Meghan herself once said (rather tellingly): ...

Lawyer Nicole Ramos said at a news conference that U.S. Customs and Border Protection knew the migrants were going to arrive at the U.S.-Mexico border Sunday and failed to prepare with sufficient agents and resources. Despite the news, about 200 people who planned to turn themselves in and seek asylum still started walking toward San Diego’s San Ysidro crossing. U.S. officials have said the nation’s busiest border crossing can hold about 300 people at a time.

Migrant Caravan Arrives At U S  Border, Despite Trump’s Threats The caravan of Central American asylum-seekers that sent the Trump administration into a frenzy of anger prepared to cross into the United States on Sunday.  The caravan’s organizers, immigrant rights activists and legal observers marched toward International Friendship Park, which straddles the U.S.-Mexico border, as the caravan’s participants prepared to walk from Tijuana to San Diego.  On the U.S. side of the border, a group of about 100 people chanted “No borders! No wall! Sanctuary for all!” as they marched along the beach toward the port of entry.

Central American Migrants Arrive At U S  Border To An Uncertain Future A group of roughly 200 people, mostly Central Americans, has arrived at the U.S.-Mexico border seeking political asylum. Before heading to the port of entry in San Diego County, they were greeted by a group of supporters across a border fence in the U.S. holding welcome signs. One person flew a kite above the border reading "Refugees Welcome Here." Some supporters apparently climbed the border fence, under the watchful eyes of patrol agents. But despite the chants and music straddling the border, the migrants are facing an uncertain future wherever they land. Many have decided not to seek to asylum in the U.S. after speaking with volunteer immigration lawyers, who have advised the migrants to be prepared for separation. The weeks-long trek by this so-called caravan is an annual, organized trip. Most of the people are from Honduras and are fleeing the violence that erupted after the highly contested presid...

The migrants gathered at the border wall in Tijuana for an emotional meeting with a few hundred of their supporters in San Diego's Friendship Park Sunday morning. The two groups could not come entirely face-to-face, but chanted back and forth to each other, separated by about 100 feet. "We are immigrants. We are not criminals," some of the migrants chanted. "We are the hope of Latin America." Some climbed the fence, straddling the border to get a look at their supporters in the United States. On the California side, demonstrators chanted "We are all Latin American. Toge...

Royal baby name officially announced as Louis Arthur Charles

RICHARD KAY Why hasn't Charles seen the newborn prince yet?/Prince Louis Arthur Charles Usually his arrival at Birkhall, his grandmother’s home on the Balmoral estate, which he has stylishly updated, is a moment of lipsmacking anticipation. Increasingly as he gets older, the Prince of Wales views visits to this Scottish retreat as a necessary restorative. But yesterday it was difficult not to have a flicker of sympathy for Charles as he waited anxiously at his bolthole for an opportunity to see his newborn grandson. Instead, the first visitors to Kensington Palace were a progression of Middletons, led by Kate’s hands-on mother Carole, her pregnant sister Pippa, father Michael and bearded brother James. Even Fergie’s daughter Princess Eugenie turned up to welcome the arrival of her first cousin once removed. For Charles, languishing in Scotland, the pain must be considerable. To many puzzled observers it may seem that the neglect in not yet having seen his new grandso...
