Take one Thanksgiving turkey, a Cornish hen and an evil genius of a mom and what do you get? An epic Thanksgiving prank. Nerissa was planning on pranking both of her daughters into believing the turkey planned for dinner was pregnant. Nerissa’s animal-loving daughter Raquel was so shocked when she discovered the Cornish hen inside the carcass of the turkey that she burst into surprised tears.Raquel’s sister Nicole had discovered the Cornish hen in the fridge earlier in the day so was aware of the prank being pulled on her sister. Nicole cried tears of her own, but these were tears of uncontrollable laughter. Credit: YouTube/ Nerissa Hawkinson   Less

Almost four million turn out for unity rallies across France

Record crowds have turned out in Paris and in other cities across France for unity marches after three days of terror that shook the capital. Officials say the number of people who turned out in Paris was more than two million and the figure is 3.7 million for the entire country. The turnout appears to have broken the previous record for the largest ever rally in France in modern times: the liberation of Paris after World War Two. More than 50 world leaders arrived in Paris to join the show of force, which came after similar rallies on Saturday in France and across the globe. Also today there was confirmation of another victim of the terror attacks in the French capital that left a total of 20 people dead, including three gunmen killed by police. The Paris Prosecutor says tests on bullet cartridges found at the site where a jogger was shot and wounded on Wednesday night match the gun found at the scene of a deadly supermarket hostage-taking on Friday. This new development would indicate that the gunman who shot dead a policewoman and then four hostages at the supermarket also tried to kill a jogger on the same day of the Charlie Hebdo attack, which left 12 people dead. #MarcheRepublicaine #jesuischarlie World leaders they are attending the solidarity march in the streets of Paris pic.twitter.com/Ih9hMnsuKn— euronews (@euronews) January 11, 2015 The more than 50 world leaders at the Paris march included those from Germany, Italy, Poland, Israel, the UK, Ireland, Mali, the UN Secretary General, the US Secretary of State and the Palestinian President. The Israeli Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu joined the line up, reminding French Jews that Israel would be happy to welcome them as immigrants. He said “Israel is also your home”, after the attacks appeared to target the Jewish community. One notable absence among the leaders was American President Barack Obama. The US sent Attorney General Eric Holder. Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi said “Europe will win the battle against terrorism.” In more controversial comments the Spanish Interior Minister was quoted as saying that Europe may need to rethink it’s Schengen border-free zone in order to fight the threat of Islamist militants. The leaders held a minute’s silence. Security tight France remains on high alert as reports emerge that sleeper cells have been activated. In Paris, more than 2000 police and 1000 security forces were deployed along the march routes, including snipers. They were placed along the march routes starting in Place de la Republique and ending at Place de la Nation. A tribute to the victims The Paris march was also led by the families of the victims of the attacks. They arrived at the march via Boulevard Voltaire, the French writer who coined the motto which has been taken up by the #JeSuisCharlie movement: “I do not agree with what you have to say, but I’ll defend to the death your right to say it.” Les proches des victimes arrivent bd voltaire pour se placer en tete de la marche #parismatch pic.twitter.com/i23D1I3OCq— Flore Olive (@OliveFlore) January 11, 2015 In all 17 people were killed in separate incidents which began with the attack on the French satirical newspaper Charlie Hebdo on Wednesday. Three gunmen were killed by police. In a touching tribute one young girl at the Paris march held aloft a sign saying: “When I grow up I want to be a journalist, I’m not afraid.” 🙌👇 “When I grow up, I’ll be a journalist.

A Ukrainian army officer being held in prison in Moscow is vowing to continue a hunger strike in protest at her detention. Pilot Nadia Savchenko was seized by pro-Russian separatists in June while fighting with government militia in Luhansk, which is now under rebel control. The 33-year-old, who is also an MP in the Ukrainian parliament, is facing multiple charges, including entering Russia illegally. Savchenko has now been on a hunger strike for more than 50 days and there are serious concerns about her health. She was transferred from one prison to another, amid reports of severe weight loss. Vera Savchenko, the pilot’s sister, told reporters: “Her main vital signs are normal: sugar, body temperature and blood pressure. “But her fighting spirit is at the same level it used to be, nothing has changed there.” The pilot is also accused of being involved in the deaths of two Russian journalists who were covering the fighting near Luhansk. Savchenko denies she helped coordinate the mortar fire that killed the reporters, saying she was there to help evacuate injured soldiers. Moscow claims the pilot entered Russia herself; Ukraine says she was captured by the separatists and taken across the border against her will.

The 65th Berlinale has kicked off in style. With the race for the prestigious Golden Bear award underway, the director of the Berlin International Film Festival has promised female filmmakers will be well-represented. Dieter Kosslik highlighted the lack of women in this area of the industry, saying: “Of the 400 films we’re screening at this festival, what’s interesting is around 114 have females at the helm.” Darren Aronofsky is the president of the international jury. The American director outlined why he is happy to be on the panel. “It’s endurance. Nineteen films in ten days is a lot. But we will get through it and the films are great – it’s very exciting and a great honour,” he said. Spanish director Isabel Coixet’s film ‘Nobody Wants The Night’ was selected to open the festival. It tells the story of Josephine, who goes to the North Pole with her explorer husband Robert Peary. When she’s forced to spend time alone in an igloo with a young Inuit woman, she realises the two of them have more in common than she ever could have realised. Our correspondent, Wolfgang Spindler thinks the best may be yet to come. “This year’s Berlinale has a promising programme,” he said. “But everyone is waiting in suspense for the films featuring stars such as Nicole Kidman, Nathalie Portman and James Franco.”   Less

Italy is in shock. A young mother is in mourning. And public health services are under scrutiny after a newborn baby with breathing difficulties died – reportedly turned away from at least three hospitals on Sicily because of lack of space. Running out of options, the ambulance carrying little Nicole Di Pietro set off for another hospital more than 100 kilometres away. But Nicole, born in a private clinic in Catania without the neonatal intensive care facilities she needed, died on the way. As her family grieves, regional and national inquiries have been launched. On her Facebook page, Nicole’s mother Tania blames ‘human error’ for her daughter’s death, demanding justice so that her child can rest in peace. Her pain and dismay have been echoed by Italy’s new President Sergio Mattarella, himself from Sicily. The local health minister has resigned but this scandal goes much further with an investigation into possible healthcare failings in a separate case in Naples in which an eight month old baby died.   Less

Illegal Immigrants Shout Communist Slogan “Si Se Puede” which means Yes We Can..Where have we heard that before? Oh yeah right..from Comrade Barack Hussein Obama. At a pro-illegal immigration event held at USC in Los Angeles, California, that was being conducted in Spanish only, Rep. Luis Gutierrez (D-IL) was met with shouts of “communist” and “traitor.” These are not altogether baseless smears. Gutierrez was a member of the Socialist Party in Puerto Rico during the 80s. Via Discover the Networks: From 1984-86 Gutierrez, a Democrat, served as an advisor to Mayor Harold Washington of Chicago. In 1986 Gutierrez was elected alderman of that city’s mostly-Hispanic 26th Ward. At the time, he was a member of the Puerto Rican Socialist Party, a Marxist-Leninist entity. At the same event, illegal immigrants shouted the slogan “¡Sí se puede!”–Spanish for “Yes, it can be done!” or “Yes, you can do it!” Cesar Chavez and Dolores Huerta, creators of the “¡Sí se puede!” slogan, were students of Saul Alinsky’s brand of community organizing, as were Barack Hussein Obama and Hillary Rodham Clinton. “Yes, We Can!” originates from “¡Sí se puede!,” which is a communist revolutionary slogan.   Less

Anti-austerity marches have drawn tens of thousands to the streets of France. In addition to grievances about public spending cuts under the current Socialist government, the crowds were also protesting against the so-called Macron Law (la loi Macron), currently being debated in the Senate. Named after France’s economy minister, the proposed bill covers a range of measures including loosening Sunday trading and deregulating certain professions. Teacher Nicolas Mas marched in the capital Paris. “All the established social rights of our labour laws are being questioned with this bill. We’ve gone back to the 19th century. It’s incredible,” he said, on the subject of the Macron Law.

Frank Pascaud attended the Paris march on behalf of the Association of the Paralysed People of France. He said: “The state is giving less and less money to the hospitals and to health care. And now is the time to act.” The biggest of the 70 trade-union-led protests took place in Paris, with 32,000 people in attendance, according to police.

Three people have died and four homes have been washed away by major flooding in the NSW town of Dungog, north-west of Newcastle. This morning, an elderly woman and two elderly men were found dead in the township, in what has been described as a "catastrophic" weather event. Premier Mike Baird said the severe weather was a "one-in-ten-year" event. A video filmed by a local showed fast-moving flood waters sweeping a home off its foundations and along a street in the town centre. The Upper Hunter town is believed to be one of the worst affected after 312mm of rain fell in 24 hours. The town has been cut off as roads and bridges were washed away, power was down and mobile phone and landlines were unresponsive. The Paterson River at Gostwyck Bridge in the nearby town of Paterson has risen to 15.51m at midday, higher than forecast and higher than the March 1978 flood peak. The Williams River at Dungog was also listed as a major flood area by the Bureau of Meteorology, at 8.53m this morning and still rising, up from a regular water level of between 0.4m and 0.6m. The east coast low is expected to pound NSW for another 12 hours before easing tomorrow morning. The SES has received more than 4500 requests for assistance. Fire & Rescue NSW crews across Sydney and the Blue Mountains, Central Coast and Newcastle areas have responded to nearly 1000 storm-related jobs since late yesterday afternoon in one of the busiest nights in the organisation’s history. The Transport Management Centre is warning people in Sydney, the Central Coast and Hunter regions not to leave home unless it is absolutely necessary. For assistance contact the SES on 132 500. Calls should only be made if there is an injury, the road is blocked or a house or car has been damaged. The SES will prioritise jobs and assist when possible. LATEST UPDATES • The SES has "grave concerns" for people entering and being trapped in flood waters, having rescued more than 20 people so far. • About 215,000 homes and businesses are without power. • There have been recorded wind speeds of up to 130km/h. • In the hour to 9.45am, Tocal in the Hunter region, recorded 112mm of rain. • Public transport was cut across Sydney, with expectations of peak-hour delays for travellers. • Authorities have advised against all non-essential travel in affected areas • The SES has received more than 4500 calls and anticipates more. • A Raymond Terrace firefighter suffered head, neck and shoulder injuries when a tree fell on a fire truck. He is in hospital in a stable condition. • A passenger cruise ship has been forced to halt outside Sydney heads as the harbour is closed • Four have been rescued from a rooftop at Stroud football oval. • Check out the latest traffic alerts here Deputy Commissioner Steve Pearce says the conditions are "cyclonic". "This is going to be catastrophic today," he said. "This is an enormous event that's been unfolding. "We haven't seen gale-force winds this consistent for years - gusting over 100km/h." The NSW State Emergency Service (SES) said the majority of requests for help were coming from the greater Sydney region.   Less

One of the largest ice shelves in Antarctica is under threat thinning dramatically on both sides, its surface and beneath. The ice shelf is called Larsen C and its two neighbours, Larsen A and B have already collapsed in 1995 and 2002. A study by the British Antarctic Survey has found that the ice shelf is melting not just because of hotter air but also due to the warming of the ocean. Until now scientists were not sure about the role of oceans in collapsing ice shelves. Now Larsen C as it melts will play a role in the rising of the level of the ocean. “When Larsen A and B were lost, the glaciers behind them accelerated and they are now contributing a significant fraction of the se-level rise from the whole of Antarctica. Larsen C is bigger and if it were to be lost in the next few decades then it would actually add to the projections of the sea-level rise by 2100. ‘We expect that the sea-level rise around the world will be something in excess of 50 cm higher by 2100 than it is at present and that will cause problems for coastal and low-lying cities,” explained David Vaughan a glaciologist with the British Antarctic Survey The research team based their findings on combined satellite and eight radar surveys between 1998 and 2012. During that time Larsen C lost an average of four metres of ice and had lowered by an average of one metre at the surface. The ice shelf is named after Captain Carl Anton Larsen who was the master of the Norwegian whaling vessel Jason, which sailed through these waters in 1893. The Antarctic Peninsula is one of the fastest warming region on Earth with a rise in temperature of 2.5 degrees Centigrade over the last five decades.   Less

UN warns of impending famine in Yemen as no way in for food aid

The World Food programme is sounding the alarm on an impending humanitarian disaster in Yemen. Its Executive Director says the risk of famine has been heightened by the destruction of port facilities in Aden, meaning any aid that does arrive cannot be unloaded before people start to die. Thirteen million Yemenis are now in a state of food insecurity says the UN, and six million of these, one in five of the population, are on the verge of starvation and in immediate need. But ports are blocked, runways pitted, and most roads are dangerous. At every level of the food chain, from planting and importation to harvesting, husbandry and distribution the system is broken after months of unrest. Impoverished consumers struggled to buy what is available. Nearly two million children face “irreversible damage” if their diets do not improve soon. “Because of lack of access, vulnerable populations are not receiving the food assistance that is necessary and we are seeing more children who are suffering from chronic malnutrition, we are seing more people without the food assistance that they need. So without clean water, without fuel, without food we are verging on a perfect storm for a catastrophic food event. What we hope is that all the parties in this conflict recognise that the people of Yemen, the affected population cannot wait for a political solution. We must provide humanitarian access that is necessary across the entire country,” says the WFP Executive Director Ertharin Cousin. The problems facing Yemen are of security, resources, reconstruction, and economic growth and investment. But what they really need right now is a joint effort from the international community. And quickly. “The supply routes of humanitarian aid to the Yemeni people who been affected by the war remain the main obstacle faced by international organizations, which are demanding more international cooperation to overcome this,” reports euronews’ Mohammed Shaikhibrahim.   Less
