  • Police arrest newlyweds for bloody fight after wedding, wife head butts husband

    Police arrest newlyweds for bloody fight after wedding, wife head butts husband

    A couple was arrested in Florida after they injured each other during a fight, soon after their wedding ceremony. According to media reports, the couple stayed at the Hilton hotel after their wedding.

    The police reached the hotel after reports of a fight between the bride and groom. When the police reached the 32-year-old bride, Stefanie Ginas’ gown was covered in blood and had a torn strap. “Her face and chest were covered in blood and she was crying. Ginas’ mother advised there was some sort of an altercation between Ginas and her husband, John Gerhard, in their hotel room,” the police told the news publication.

    As per details, the husband left the hotel after the incident, before the police reached. The husband told his father that his newlywed bride “headbutted” him and “broke his nose.”

    The bride claimed that she and her husband got into an argument and she defended herself, but she later revealed that she was the one who began the fight with her spouse.

    Later, the groom returned to the hotel and admitted to the authorities that he had caused his wife’s injuries.

    The police report read: “The hotel room showed signs of an altercation. Blood was located on Gerhard’s white dress shirt, several places on the carpet, a washcloth, the bedsheets, the bathroom floor and the desk. Bloody clothing and bloody towels were thrown throughout the room.”

    “The investigation revealed an act of domestic battery did occur. Both parties advised they were the primary aggressor, and both parties sustained obvious injuries, consistent with both subjects’ complaints. In order to ensure no further injury or harm occurred to either party, both subjects were arrested for domestic battery,” the report added.

  • Chinese Foreign Minister pays unannounced visit to Kabul

    Chinese Foreign Minister pays unannounced visit to Kabul

    Chinese State Councilor and Foreign Minister (FM) Wang Yi arrived in Kabul on Thursday after attending the three-day Organisation on of Islamic Conference (OIC) in Islamabad, which ended on Wednesday. His visit was not announced earlier.

    Yi is the first senior Chinese leader to visit Afghanistan after the Taliban’s takeover in August. He was received by Afghanistan’s acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi.

    The two sides will hold talks on important issues, focusing on China’s role in stability and development, reports Afghan state-run Bakhtar News Agency.

    On March 30-31 Beijing is set to host a two-day conference to discuss the Afghan situation. It is pertinent to mention that the Taliban government is yet to be recognised by any country.

    Foreign Minister Yi last visited Kabul in 2017 after a huge bombing incident after which he tried to ease tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

    China has been involved in the Afghan peace process since the US started its withdrawal of troops in 2014. Moreover, in the past few years, Taliban political representatives have paid several visits to China.

  • CJP Bandial says not counting a vote during no-trust proceedings against Khan would be ‘contemptuous’

    Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial on Thursday observed that not counting a vote that has been cast during the no-confidence vote against Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan would be “contemptuous”.

    CJP Bandial further questioned that for how long a dissident Member of the National Assembly (MNA) could be disqualified.

    He made the remarks during the hearing of a presidential reference seeking the Supreme Court’s opinion on Article 63-A of the Constitution.

    Earlier, during the hearing, Justice Mandokhail questioned whether the MNA’s vote could be counted in the proceedings conducted before he was de-seated, observing there was no mention of not counting a vote in the 18th Amendment.

    Justice Akhtar observed that the purpose of Article 63-A was to stop defection from party policies. “The party’s collective opinion is above an individual opinion. The collective opinion is important for the stability of democracy.” He said one interpretation of Article 63-A was that the vote of dissidents should not be counted.

    Attorney General of Pakistan (AGP) Khalid Javed Khan argued that the real issue was about clarifying Article 63-A(4). “Someone who violates the Constitution by defection cannot be praised. We cannot read what’s not written in the Constitution. Article 62(1)(f) states that an MNA should be honest and righteous.

    “Should defecting from the party be rewarded? Can those who are dishonest be considered righteous?” he asked.

    Justice Mandokhail replied that every MNA had the right to vote in accordance with Article 95, which deals with the procedure to bring in a no-confidence motion against the prime minister.

    “If vote can be cast, it can also be counted,” he observed, asking the AGP why the government was seeking the court’s opinion if it already had the answer. “If you agree with this point, then withdraw this reference,” he added.

    Earlier, SCBA submitted its response in the apex court, stating that voting is an individual right of an MNA instead of a political party’s collective right under Article 95.

    It declared the MNAs’ right to vote for the no-confidence motion against the prime minister to be an individual capacity in its response to the presidential reference for the interpretation on Article 63A of the Constitution Pakistan.

    Nobel Laureate and Women’s Education Rights Activist Malala Yousafzai has reacted to the closing of girls’ high schools in Afghanistan.

  • Actor Charlie Sheen admits to having sex with 25 people while being HIV positive

    Actor Charlie Sheen admits to having sex with 25 people while being HIV positive

    American actor Charlie Sheen has appeared in films like Platoon (1986), Wall Street (1987), Young Guns (1988), The Rookie (1990) and popular sitcoms like Two and a Half Men.

    He has won several awards and nominations for his work. However, more than his films he made headlines for his alcohol drug abuse and marital problems. He even went on to admit that he had been diagnosed with HIV and had s*x with 25 people without telling them his health condition.

    Charlie Sheen Once Admitted Having S*x With 25 People Without Telling Them He Was HIV Positive

    In 2015, Charlie revealed he is HIV positive in an interview with Matt Lauer. The 56-year-old actor had said that he made the revelation to end a smear campaign and extortion efforts.

    Sheen said, “It’s a hard three letters to absorb. It’s a turning point in one’s life. I have to put a stop to this onslaught, this barrage of attacks and of sub-truths and very harmful and mercurial stories that are about me, threatening the health of so many others that couldn’t be further from the truth.”

    Charlie Sheen also confided about his health condition with a few people he thought could be trusted but they broke his confidence. He had to pay more than $10 million to keep the illness a secret. By announcing the illness the actor hoped to put an end to it.

    Sheen said, “What people forget is that that’s money they’re taking from my children. I trusted them and they were deep in my inner circle, and I thought they could be helpful. My trust turned to their treason. That’s my goal. That’s not my only goal. I think I release myself from this prison today.”

    Charlie Sheen further revealed that he told his ex-wives Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller about his HIV diagnosis. He even informed about the illness to his eldest daughter. However, later during a conversation with Piers Morgan at a London Town Hall event, the actor admitted having had s*x nearly 25 people but insisted on not having an unprotected s*x.

    The Hollywood actor said, “I never did. I wouldn’t do that to someone, I would not. The only times I didn’t tell them was because the last 25 times they used it against me and used my medical condition for their own folly and financial gain.”
