In rare clash between allies, US president tells May to focus on terrorism rather than on him  but sends the tweet to the wrong person. Donald Trump has publicly rebuked Theresa May over her criticism of anti-Muslim propaganda, opening an extraordinary diplomatic spat between the transatlantic allies. “Theresa @theresamay, don’t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom,” the US president tweeted on Wednesday evening. “We are doing just fine!” Trump’s message came in response to criticism from the British prime minister’s spokesman over his retweeting of incendiary videos posted by the deputy leader of a British far-right group. However, the “@theresamay” Twitter handle that Trump targeted does not belong to Theresa May, the British prime minister, but a woman called Theresa Scrivener. Minutes later Trump deleted and reposted the tweet, this time with the correct handle: @Theresa_May. The spokes...

It’s illegal to publicly announce one’s HIV status,” she explained.Under Republic Act 8504, the right to privacy of individuals with HIV shall...

An elephant who appeared in Thai films and television adverts has crushed its owner to death at a zoo in the northern city of Chiang Mai. The elephant, believed to be in musth an aggressive state associated with a surge in testosterone - attacked his 54-year-old owner, Somsak Riengngen, crushing him to death with his trunk. The accident occurred on Monday morning as the elephant was unchained, the South China Morning Post reports. The five-tonne elephant, named Ekasit, had one mahout, or handler, on his back and reportedly took a few steps before turning and attacking Somsak who was on the ground. “The elephant suddenly turned back and used his trunk to grab the victim. Then the elephant used his trunk to crush him,” Wuthichai Muangman, acting director of Chiang Mai Zoo, told the Post. Mr Wuthichai described Somsak as an “elephant expert”, but added that the elephant had been in musth when the accident happened. During musth, which often occurs during winter, male eleph...

France was a colonial power which held sway over a vast swathe of territory in West Africa that began during the scramble for territory by European powers from the mid 19th century. The area stretched from the modern day nations of Mauritania and Mali in the north to Ivory Coast and Benin on the Gulf of Guinea and the landlocked Central African Republic. By 1960, the former colonial territories had emerged as independent countries but French influence remained deeply entrenched and its interventionist approach became known pejoratively as its “Francafrique policy”. Successive French leaders built close ties to the mostly authoritarian strongmen who took over in the post independence era, while French companies took leading roles in strategic sectors, particularly oil and mining. Speaking to students in Burkina Faso’s capital, he avoided mention of “Francafrique” but assured them: “I haven’t come here to tell you what is France’s African policy because there no longer is one.” ...
