Saudi Arabia 'shoots down' Scud missile -Yemen crisis
Saudi Arabia has shot down a Scud missile fired from across the border by Yemen's Houthi rebels and its allies, the state Saudi Press Agency says.
It was intercepted by a Patriot missile battery near the south-western city of Khamis Mushait in the morning.
On Friday, four Saudi soldiers and many Yemeni rebels died in fighting on the border, the Saudi-led coalition says.
It says forces loyal to Yemen's former president, backed by the Houthis, attacked several Saudi positions.
In a separate development, the Houthis have agreed to attend peace talks in Geneva.
The UN-brokered meeting on 14 June in Switzerland is aimed at ending weeks of war that has claimed more than 2,000 lives.
Yemen's government, which is operating from Riyadh, also said it would attend.
Ground attack
A Saudi-led coalition has been bombing rebel positions in Yemen for 10 weeks, in support of the country's exiled president Abdrabbuh Mansour Hadi.
The Houthis overran the capital Sanaa last September and have gone on to seize most of the country.

The group stated:
The group stated:
'He may have not promoted “fraternity between nations” but he surely promotes fraternal peace among Nigerians by conceding power.'
"concession speech by President Jonathan averted bloodshed, violence and imbroglio in the most populous country in Africa. This gesture by Jonathan buttressed to the whole world that Nigeria has joined the comity of civilized nations.
Nigeria can be said to have shown great leadership in Africa and made Africans in general and Nigerians in particular to comprehend that transfer of power does not need to be violent but rather peaceful as heralded by the outgoing president of Nigeria, Goodluck Ebele Azikiwe Jonathan."
31 year old man rapes and impregnates 11 year old Child
A judge sentenced Rosales to 17 years in prison as part of a plea agreement.
One Tuesday Rosales faced up to two life sentences. He was charged with predatory sexual assault, which carries a maximum weight of 25 years to life in prison and also faced another 25-to-life sentence for second-degree murder in the June 2013 fatal shooting of Keenan Russell.
However, prosecutors dropped the murder charge against Russell on Tuesday after authorities arrested someone else who took responsibility for the crime.
Defense attorney Robert Macedonio says his client is satisfied with the plea in the rape case.
Rosales, who also faces a four-year sentence for a robbery charge, initially refused the plea deal on Tuesday but later changed his mind as the evidence against him was overwhelming and included DNA hence pleaded guilty just hours after jury selection began.
Authorities say he acknowledged fathering the child in several recorded jail phone calls between him and his family members and even the girl

Teacher tells kids to take selfies with parents’ sex toys for extra credit
California moms Kimberly Cobene and Evangeline Garcia as of late found their secondary school girls had been given an exceptionally flawed additional credit task, titled: Find your folks' sex toys, or condoms, and bring a selfie with them.
When the irritated moms found out about the solicitation, they reached school managers at Encinal High School in Alameda, just to be informed that the instructor being referred to (his character hasn't been uncovered to the press) no doubt told his understudies the task was "a joke."
Cobene didn't see it has a snickering matter, on the other hand. She'd heard that one understudy took the task at face esteem:
"From what I comprehend, an understudy really did it, and he utilized that as a sample of what it ought to look like for alternate understudies."
Garcia included:
"On the off chance that the children took it as a joke, then why did one child take it genuine and really did the additional credit work, and was indicated as a sample in class?'
'We don't feel good with our youngsters in his vicinity."
An examination of the occurrence is as far as anyone knows in progress, yet Encinal High School authorities are mum on any immediate activity dispensed against the instructor being referred to.
Stricken Chinese cruise ship lifted from Yangtze River; 331 bodies recovered
The ship's positioning Friday was a step forward in the dayslong nightmare playing out on a section of the Yangtze River that flows through Hubei province. It means answers should be easier to come by as to why the Eastern Star capsized Monday night and what can be done to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
That process involved huge floating cranes that set up alongside the overturned river cruise ship, dropped cables and hooks into the water, rolled the ship upright and raised it to the surface. About 50 divers took part overnight Thursday by tying slings around the 2,200-ton vessel.
It also means closure could be coming soon to hundreds of families.
By 8 a.m. Saturday (2 p.m. West African time Friday), 331 bodies had been recovered, according to Chinese state media. There are 111 people still unaccounted for.
Of the 456 people on board, 14 survived. But rescuers have had no luck since Tuesday, when a 21-year-old sailor and 65-year-old woman were plucked from the water.
Authorities say the chances of more miracles have dwindled with each passing day. And the salvage process has begun.
State-run news agency tweeted pictures of the Eastern Star after this happened Friday. Parts of its top level looked smashed, but the other levels appeared largely intact. By draining the ship, the idea is that it could again float on its own.

Nigerian doctor charged with manslaughter after pregnant woman dies from massive blood loss after abortion
A Nigerian doctor named Dr Adedayo Adedeji, 62, was on June 4th charged with manslaughter after a pregnant woman died from massive blood loss after he performed an abortion on her. The woman, who is also of African descent, traveled from Dublin to London in January 2012 for the abortion after healthcare workers in Ireland refused to help when she tried to terminate the pregnancy.
According to UK Daily Mail, after the 32 year old woman had the abortion at the West London Clinic, she collapsed several hours later while traveling in a taxi in Slough, Berkshire, and died of ‘extensive internal bleeding’.
According to UK Daily Mail, after the 32 year old woman had the abortion at the West London Clinic, she collapsed several hours later while traveling in a taxi in Slough, Berkshire, and died of ‘extensive internal bleeding’.
Speaking later, the woman's husband said the woman had been diagnosed with a condition which can carry an elevated risk of miscarriage and other complications, but was not considered to be life-threatening and that when they sought help in Ireland, doctors refused to help them, forcing them to go to London.
A year after the incident, detectives launched an investigation into the circumstances of the woman’s death and on June 4th, announced that the doctor and two nurses have been summoned to appear before a magistrate to face manslaughter charges.
They are being accused of gross negligence and ‘failing to take reasonable care of other persons who may be affected by acts or omissions at work’. They will appear before Westminster Magistrates’ Court on June 19.
