    ‘Using me for your pleasure’: Doctor receives sex-related WhatsApp message on-air

    GB News UK guest was mortified after a very explicit WhatsApp message flashed up on-screen during a live interview.

    Vaccine skeptic doctor, Dr Samuel White has claimed he was the target of hackers after a rather compromising text message appeared on his screen in a clip of a GB News chat.

    The General practitioner (GP) spoke to presenter Patrick Christys after he won a legal case that ordered him to stop discussing the virus on social media.

    In a clip of the interview, which appeared to be recorded on a phone, a very amusing message flashed up on his screen after he received a notification from a contact named “Suzie Sub”.

    It read: ‘As you rest just give a thought to using me for your pleasure. Having me on my knees doing whatever you say… xxx.’

    His fellow guest Jon Gaunt also joined in on re-posting the clip to his own social media accounts, writing: ‘Oh dear someone forgot to turn their WhatsApp off! This is very funny.’

    A spokesperson for the doctor told Indy100 hackers were to blame for the clip upload, after Dr White has become the ‘target of smear campaigns.’

  • Dawn photographer beaten up by Rangers in Karachi

    Faysal Mujeeb, a photographer working for Dawn, was beaten up by Karachi Rangers for covering Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s (MQM) Yaum-i-Shuhada event.

    The event was held near ‘Nine Zero’, formerly the headquarters of the MQM led by its founder leader, Altaf Hussain.

    According to Mujeeb, he was covering the event. He recalled that the relatives of slain MQM activists had started arriving at the venue, ‘Yaadgar-i-Shuhada’ on Thursday morning and were laying rose petals on their graves, reports Dawn.

    He stated, “Some of the people present there started raising slogans in favour of Hussain, which prompted Rangers and they started detaining them. I and another media worker, Mehboob Ahmed Chishti, were also picked up.”

    Mujeeb said that he proved his identity as a press photographer and that he was on the duty assigned to him by Dawn. However, he said, the Rangers personnel did not listen to him and started beating him up and his camera and mobile phone also got smashed during the episode.

    Several organisations and journalists condemned the act.

  • 40 camels disqualified from beauty pageant for using botox

    A “beauty pageant” in Saudia Arabia has disqualified 40 camels from the contest after it emerged that their owners used botox and other cosmetic supplements to beautify the animals. The contest is a highlight of the King Abdulaziz Camel Festival, where $66m (£45m) in prize money is at stake.

    According to the report, camels are judged on the basis of physical attributes, including long droopy lips, a big nose and a nicely-shaped hump.

    Judges employed some advanced technology to figure out whether the animals are naturally beautiful or have their features been artificially enhanced, the state-run Saudi Press Agency (SPA) reported.

    All the camels participating in the contest were first taken to a hall where professional experts inspected their external appearance and movements to check out if they were healthy.

    Later on, samples were taken from the animals for examination, while their torsos, necks, and heads were scanned with X-ray and 3D ultrasound machines.

    Twenty-seven contestants in the cup for Majaheim camels alone were unfit for having stretched body parts and 16 were put out for receiving injections, according to SPA. The owners of camels in Saudi Arabia have been caught enhancing their animals’ looks for a beauty contest.

    The organisers of the pageant, the Camel Club, mentioned that they were “keen to halt all acts of tampering and deception in the beautification of camels” and promising to “impose strict penalties on manipulators”.

    They described how Botox was injected into camels’ lips, noses, jaws and other parts of their heads to relax muscles; collagen fillers were used to make their lips and noses bigger; and hormones were given to boost muscle growth.

    Rubber bands were also used on animals to make body parts bigger than normal to stop the flow of blood, they said.

    Some 33,000 camel owners from as far away as the US, Russia and France are participating in the King Abdulaziz Camel Festival, which is the largest in the world and lasts 40 days.

    As many as 100,000 tourists are also expected daily at the event.
