Rape accused denies ‘circling streets’ for girl

Ahmad Mulakhil and Mohammad Kabir muslim child murdering rapists

An Afghan man accused of targeting and repeatedly raping a 12-year-old girl has denied “circling the streets” to find her after she was allegedly strangled on a bridge.

Giving evidence for a second day at Warwick Crown Court, Ahmad Mulakhil said he did not have a sexual interest in the girl after she spoke to his friend, Mohammad Kabir, in Nuneaton in July.

The 23-year-old previously admitted oral rape but denied two other counts of rape, two counts of sexual assault, child abduction and taking indecent images of a child.

SIMPER: The trust gap — why Canada is confiscating guns while post-authoritarian Europe regulates

On January 19, the federal government sent an industrial-scale email to nearly every one of Canada’s 2.3 million licenced firearm owners. It wasn’t a standard update. Instead, it was an invitation to a “maybe.” For the next ten weeks, owners are being asked to log into a portal and “declare” property that, in many cases, the government doesn’t even know they have.

How photos of smiling Andrew ended the ‘siege of Royal Lodge’

When the King first tried to oust Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor from his Windsor home, it began a two-year battle described by one source as “the siege of Royal Lodge”.

On Monday night, after a two-year stand-off between the brothers — not to mention a few carefully timed trebuchets thrown by palace courtiers — the duke finally left his £30 million, 31-room mansion.

Andrew, 65, was driven to Wood Farm on the Sandringham estate, where he will stay while his more permanent home, the nearby Marsh Farm, is prepared.

Stephen Harper says Canada must urgently reduce its dependence on the U.S.

Former prime minister Stephen Harper said late Wednesday that Canada must urgently pivot in the face of an erratic U.S. president and reduce its dependence on the American market to protect its sovereignty and the continued functioning of the economy.

Speaking at a gala in Ottawa to mark the 20 years since he formed a Conservative government, Harper said while he has “largely stayed silent” on U.S. aggression up until now, he feels compelled to speak out about what he described as an existential threat.

He said the U.S. has become “hostile” and its leader, President Donald Trump, is openly questioning Canadian sovereignty, launching threats and betraying trade deals, which poses a “serious challenge” that demands a muscular response.


I don’t know the Canada he’s asking us to defend and frankly we have much bigger problems than Trump.
