Rampaging sheep kills 94-year-old Frenchman

A 94-year-old man was knocked down and killed by a rampaging sheep in southwest France, police said on Tuesday. The elderly man “was charged at by the animal” which launched a frenzied attack on him on a farm in the town of Cestas, south of Bordeaux, police said. The man was found dead, with a swollen and badly bruised face. Investigators believe the sheep knocked the man off balance, causing him to fall, and then trampled on him, inflicting more injuries. Shortly afterwards, the sheep also charged at, and injured a local politician, who rushed to the scene after hearing the news of the attack. The female councillor suffered a fracture and heavy bruising. The police said it could see no other reason for the attack than “the animal’s aggression”. The Sud Ouest newspaper reported that the sheep will be put down.

US President Barack Obama (R) together with Vice President Joe Biden (L) addresses, for the first time publicly, the shock election of Donald Trump as his successor, on November 9, 2016 at the White House in Washnigton, D.C. Photo: AFP A triumphant Donald Trump heads to the White House Thursday for talks with President Barack Obama on securing a smooth transition of power and steading nerves after an election that shocked the world. Anger over the Trump win spilled out on the streets of cities from New York to Los Angeles late Wednesday as chanting protesters lit bonfires and snarled traffic. In one case an orange-headed Trump head was burned in effigy. Forty-eight hours after Trump’s upset win, the 70-year-old president-elect and Obama will meet in the Oval Office for what could be an awkward meeting as the president-elect looks ahead to the January 20 inauguration. Trump has questioned whether Obama was born in the United States — a suggestion laden with de...

US election: Trump poised for shock White House win

Donald Trump Billionaire populist Donald Trump, tapping into an electorate fed up with Washington insiders, was on the verge of a shock victory Wednesday over Hillary Clinton in a historic US presidential election that sent world markets into meltdown. State-by-state, one-by-one, the 70-year-old maverick Republican tycoon racked up victories in defiance of the forecasts of pundits and pollsters, before arriving within striking distance of the White House. Key races in Michigan and Pennsylvania remained to be called at 0630 GMT, but the 69-year-old Democrat’s supporters were in a state of shock and the markets did not wait for a concession speech to react. US futures markets fell five percent in after-hours trading, mirrored by falls in London and Tokyo as the news broke that the world’s greatest economy could soon be in the hands of an untested protectionist. The dollar tumbled against the yen and the Mexican peso slumped to a historic low against even th...

Nokia launch campaign in 2017

HMD Global has completed the deal to find PR partners for Nokia smartphones in the following year. This will be the perfect preparation for the return of Nokia in 2017. Let’s see how  Nokia launch is preparing for their ambitious plans to return the smartphone market. Nokia launch is totally ready in 2017 As we all know, Microsoft had acquired the “Devices and Services” department of Nokia. After signing in the agreement, the Finnish technology company wouldn’t be able to issue a Nokia branded device until December 30 this year. The deal is close to the deadline so we have the right to expect that Nokia will have an Android smartphone or tablet with the company’s own logo. This is gradually becoming a reality when earlier this year, Microsoft Mobile had to sell the right to use the Nokia brand to HMD Global , a Finnish company. Recently, HMD Global companies continue to hire an advertising company – Mother, to p...
