US launches cruise missile strike on Syrian air base

President Donald Trump ordered military action against the Assad regime in Syria in response to the horrific Khan Sheikhoun chemical attack believed to have been carried out by government forces. Up to 60 Tomahawk missiles were fired at an air base in Homs where aircraft that carried out the attack, possibly with sarin gas, are thought to have been based. The missile strike was not announced earlier, but strong rhetoric had come out of the administration before the action was taken. Speaking from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, Trump said: I call on all civilised nations in seeking to end the slaughter and bloodshed in Syria. Apr 7, 2017

Uber passenger hurls racist abuse and rape claims at driver

The full eight-minute video captured the shocking exchange during a fare in New York city with driver Bakany Blacky recording the female passenger in the back of his car before uploading it on LiveLeak.Unleashing a rant where she says she will “start screaming out the window that you’re raping me”, she then falsely accuses the driver of punching her in the face. She then decides to unfurl racist abuse, telling the driver to “get the f**k out of my country” and that “Donald Trump is going to send you and your family back”. It is believed the argument started over the driver not being able to provide the passenger with a smartphone charger – as it can be heard in the clip him saying “if I don’t have a charger, politely ask me. I’ll politely tell you…but you start disrespecting me...” It swiftly ignited into the passenger hitting the back of the seats, saying she will spit in his face, punch herself in her own face and claim the driver was responsible.
