Man who raped, killed 3-year-old girl is publicly executed at point blank range
SANAA - A man convicted of raping and murdering a three-year-old girl was executed in the Yemeni capital Sanaa on Monday in front of hundreds of onlookers, witnesses said. A policeman fired five bullets from an assault rifle into Muhammad al-Maghrabi, 41, as he lay with his hands handcuffed behind his back on a blanket on the ground in Sanaa’s Tahrir Square, after a judge read out the death sentence. The execution drew an unusually large number of onlookers - some perched up telegraph poles and many watching from rooftops - because of the young age of Rana al-Matari, the victim. Security was tight amid fears of a revenge attack on Maghrabi by armed tribesmen related to his victim. The police

World NewsweekNorth Korea May Have Tried to Attack Japan, Kim Jong Un Missile Launch Photo Shows
North Korea is generally known as a place that likes to keep secrets, but its propaganda arm may have inadvertently let loose something huge-that the country's first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) was supposed to land within Japanese territory. Kim Jong Un's reclusive, militarized state shocked the world by successfully test-firing a second ICBM on Friday, less than a month after it achieved its first launch on July 4. While North Korea's nuclear and ballistic weapons development has long rattled regional countries, Friday's launch particularly concerned Japan, because the missile appeared to have landed in its exclusive economic zone, an area where the country enjoys special commercial and industrial rights.
Technology in.techspot.comFacebook shuts down AI system after it invents own language
Mark Zuckerberg may believe Elon Musk’s warnings about the dangers of artificial intelligence are “irresponsible,” but a recent incident at the social network appears to suggest the Tesla boss could have a point: Facebook researchers decided to shut down an AI they invented after it started speaking its own made up language. Digital Journal reports that the system was trained in English but decided this was an inefficient and illogical way of communicating. The solution it came up with was to create a system of code words and phrases that made the AIs sound slightly drunk. In a conversation between two bots called Bob and Alice, Bob states: “I can i i everything else.” Alice responds with the
Business The TelegraphWoman 'kicked off flight and arrested for giving business class blanket to son in economy'
A mother has claimed she and her family were marched off a flight and arrested after she tried to give a complimentary business class blanket to her son in economy. Sara Celeste Farfan Garcia made the accusation against Panamanian airline Copa Airlines after a flight from Panama City to Lima, Peru, in June. Garcia, who claimed she was a member of the airline’s loyalty scheme, said she was booked into business class, where customers are given free blankets, but her son, along with other relatives, was sat in economy. When she went to pass a blanket to her child, Garcia said she was confronted by a flight attendant who prevented her from doing so, before “verbally assaulting and pushing her”. Copa Airlines is the flag carrier of Panama Credit: Getty Garcia made the accusations in a Facebook post, in which she said she was “extremely affected and indignant” after “abuse” from the cabin crew. Garcia said the flight attendant called the police, who came to escort the family off the flight. She also claimed the member of the cabin crew feigned injury by “limping” to suggest Garcia had hurt her. Garcia said she is beginning a legal process for compensation from the airline for the “psychological damage that was caused to my child” by being taken from a plane to a police car before behind held in a police station. In a statement Copa Airlines denied Ms Garcia’s account, and accusing her of being “disruptive and aggressive towards the crew member and supervisor, who fulfilled her duties correctly”. “As a result of this situation, our crew member suffered a physical injury, later corroborated by the doctor who attended to her after landing the flight,” the airline said. “Therefore, on the same day, a legal complaint was filed against the passenger. This complaint can be found in the Sixth Peace Court of El Callao, in Lima, Peru, that has jurisdiction of this case. Are these the world's worst airlines? “Additionally, the incident narrated in the video about a blanket being taken away from a minor did not occur as reported. Key details of this event have been omitted by the passenger. “Furthermore, Copa Airlines never threatened the passenger with the possibility of an arrest for having given her son a business class blanket. The police’s presence on the airplane after landing, which was captured on one video, was only due to a security procedure that was activated as a consequence of the passenger’s behaviour. “Copa Airlines deeply regrets that a situation like this transpired on one of our aircraft and apologises to passengers on flight CM761 who witnessed the incident. Cases like this are totally uncharacteristic of our operations. To this effect, we would like to reiterate to all our passengers that they are our top priority and therefore, we will continue to focus and work to guarantee their safety and provide them with the service and attention they deserve.”
