A father cradles two small children. Still, pale as ghosts. A doctor says the victims died suffocating, foaming at the mouth. One man declares: ‘I could feel my lungs shutting down.’ Babies getting hosed with water in a makeshift hospital. These words and images from the Syrian town of Douma filled the rolling news channels on Monday. They capture the peculiar terror and moral repugnance of chemical weapons … if it is true, as reported, that these weapons were used.

Before King made that plea for the sounds of beauty to Ben Branch, a musician scheduled to play that evening at a planned event that evening in Memphis, he was known for using his words to inspire a generation to peaceful action in the fight for civil rights.

HOUSE hunters can now find out what the best mortgage deals are on offer to them by chatting to a Facebook bot. Digital mortgage brokers Nuvo has launched an automated chatbot on Facebook Messenger aimed at giving advice to people looking for a mortgage. A traditional mortgage broker is a person or company that arranges the loans between buyers and the banks. They usually charge a fee for the service. But you can use the bot for free to get a quick quote or ask it for advice about the jargon that comes with buying a home. It uses AI which means that you can ask it questions in any format and it will give you advice - you're not limited to yes and no answers. But when the Sun Online gave it a go, it was super quick to give us a go quote but struggled with the advice.
