A teenage boy has been found guilty of murder after stabbing a 12-year-old girl to death after a row over a Snapchat video. Ava White was killed after a "chance encounter" with the 14-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, on the night the Christmas lights were switched on in Liverpool. He stabbed her in the neck with a knife after she asked a group of boys to stop filming her and friends.

A 20-second clip showing the stabbing was played during the trial, leaving her family in tears.

Harry Styles halted his performance after he noticed a fan in distress during his sold-out London show. The Adore You singer, 28, took to the stage at the O2 Academy Brixton on Tuesday night where he performed tracks from his acclaimed new album Harry’s House. As he sang his hit 2017 single Sign Of The Times, Harry stopped midway to check if the audience member was OK, and asked fans to ‘split, make a pathway down, please.’ Addressing the rest of the crowd, he asked: ‘Everyone else good? You OK?’ The concerned musician added: ‘We’re going to keep going if everyone feels good.’ While singing his pop rock ballad, Harry also brandished a Ukraine flag, and later brought out a Pride rainbow flag in support of the LGBTQ+ community. Elsewhere during the gig, Harry offered some words of wisdom to a fan after she revealed her boyfriend cheated on her. After noticing Jess’s sign, Harry addressed the audience, saying: ‘This sign says, I might paraphrase, “My … [Read more...] about Harry Styles halts sold out London gig mid song after spotting fan in distress

Hertha Berlin 2-3 Union Berlin, Olympiastadion (Khedira og 54', Serdar 90' — Voglsammer 11', Stark og 50', Knoche 55') They came as favorites, and left as undisputed kings of the capital city. Union Berlin’s victory in Wednesday’s derby sends them into the quarterfinals of the German Cup in a season when the competition is tantalizingly open. It also cements their place on the top of the pile in Berlin, though coach Urs Fischer hardly seems to notice. "What can I say?" he replied when asked by DW about being the best team in the city. "I was asked about this ahead of the game and I said that I’m not really interested. I’m interested in the performance." His fans, at least, certainly are interested. It was their first derby victory at the Olympiastadion since 2011, and 200 traveling supporters, outnumbered but not outsung by the 1800 or so Hertha fans present, savored the moment at full-time. "Stadtmeister, (city champions), Berlin’s Nummer eins!" Union Berlin's … [Read more...] about German Cup: Union cement status as undisputed kings of Berlin

Elon Musk's tweet last Friday seeking "hardcore streetfighters" to join Tesla's litigation department has been derided and trolled with thousands of mock job applications. The Tesla and SpaceX CEO's Twitter job ad came one day after a bombshell report accused the tech mogul of sexual harassment in 2016. According to Insider , a former flight attendant and SpaceX employee alleged that Musk exposed his penis to her and offered to buy her a horse in exchange for an erotic massage. SpaceX later paid the woman $250,000 to settle her sexual misconduct accusation, Insider reported. Musk has dismissed the allegation as a "politically motivated hit piece." The world's richest man also recently made news for agreeing to buy Twitter in a $44 billion deal on April 14. A month later, he announced that the deal was "temporarily on hold" pending details over fake accounts. In the tweeted job ad for lawyers to join Tesla, Musk said, "Tesla is building a hardcore litigation … [Read more...] about Elon Musk’s job ad for a “hardcore” lawyer gets trolled on Twitter
