PLANE CRASH IN NIGERIA: At least nine killed after plane crashes shortly after taking off in Lagos.

 5 rescued from crashed Lagos plane







At least nine people have been killed after a small passenger plane with 27 people on board crashed shortly after take-off in Nigeria's most populous city Lagos.

The Associated Airlines plane was headed for Akure, a southwestern town about 225km away, with seven crew and 20 passengers, Aviation Ministry spokesman Joe Obi said on Thursday. He did not have details of the type of aircraft.

"The plane couldn't lift properly so it just came down," Obi said. "Some persons are being rushed to hospital. A few dead bodies have been recovered, but there are survivors."

A spokesman for the National Emergency Management Agency, Manzo Ezekiel, told AFP that the plane crashed in
an area within the airport complex where fuel is stored.

Several local radio stations and Channels TV reported that the plane was carrying the body of former governor of Ondo state Olusegun Agagu to his funeral.

"There's a lot of smoke coming from the runway, but we can't get access to it. There are fire-fighters rushing to the scene," Rasaki Rhakod, who runs a car service around the airport, told Reuters by telephone shortly after the accident.

Air crashes are relatively common in Nigeria, which despite having Africa's second-biggest economy, has a poor safety record. In June last year, 163 people died when a Dana Air plane crashed into a Lagos apartment block in the country's worst airline disaster in two decades.

20 year old serial rapist who was identified as a potential sex offender at the age of THREE is jailed for life

Daniel Chipchase, 20, has been given five life sentences for a string of child sex abuse crimes after the judge heard he showed 'sexualised behaviour' when he was just three
Daniel Chipchase, 20, has been given five life sentences for a string of child sex abuse crimes after the judge heard he showed 'sexualised behaviour' when he was just three

A man who began displaying 'sexualised behaviour' when he was just three years old has been jailed for life after admitting raping and abusing a string of young children.

Daniel Chipchase, 20, was ordered to serve a minimum of six years before he could be considered for parole after the judge at Lincoln Crown Court told him children were at 'significant risk of serious harm' from him doing the same again.

The court had heard that Chipchase had shown worrying signs of an unhealthy interest in sex from the age of three and four, when he drew indecent pictures and tried to assault other young children.


It also emerged that Chipchase had escaped custody for raping a 10-year-old girl several years ago before going on to rape and sexually abuse three more young children.

Chipchase, who was taken into care when he was five, was first referred to social services as a potential sex offender in February 1997, at the age of three, because of his 'sexualised' behaviour, the court was told.

The following year, when Daniel had started school, a teacher reported him for sexually touching another boy in class, Chipchase's barrister said.


Alexander Dunn said: 'Perhaps the most important mitigation is the background. He has himself been subjected to serious sexual abuse and he has also witnessed abuse and violence perpetrated against his mother.

'It is clear that Mr Chipchase's formative years have had a profound and lasting effect on him. He is an extremely damaged individual. He was displaying sexualised behaviour from an extremely young age.


'He has also witnessed abuse and violence perpetrated against his mother.'


Mr Dunn added: 'In July 1997, at four, there was concern about sexualised behaviour as a result of drawings he made of genitals', and he said he used explicit language.

The lawyer said that in December 1997, when Chipchase was still only four, he was reported for trying to perform a sex act on another young boy.

'In 1998 a teacher noted an incident at school where Daniel had his hand on another boy's groin', he said.

In the same year Daniel was also seen trying to indecently assault a young girl.

Mr Dunn said that Chipchase appeared to regard such incidents as normal behaviour and added 'In some ways Mr Chipchase has never had a chance.'

He told the court that Chipchase was taken into care two days after his fifth birthday. He initially stayed with foster parents, but after his first conviction for rape he lived at a specialised children's home where attempts were made to deal with his sexualised behaviour.

Mr Dunn quoted a probation report which stated: 'It is clear that Mr Chipchase’s formative years have had a profound and lasting effect on his well being.'

He added: 'He is sorry for what he has done. It is clear from the psychiatrist’s report that what he needs is one-to-one counselling and help. That can be given to him in prison.'

Mark Van der Zwart, prosecuting, said that Chipchase was convicted in 2007 aged just 13 when he was given a three-year supervision order after pleading guilty at Mold Crown Court to raping a 10 year old girl.

In October last year he was arrested again after raping a six-year-old boy in a public toilet on a caravan site at Mablethorpe, Lincolnshire.

Police were alerted by a holidaymaker who was shocked by what he overheard while using an adjoining cubicle.

Later further charges were brought after two young girls came forward in his native North Wales to report they had been sexually abused by Chipchase. One of the girls told how she had been raped aged five while the other girl was subject to a series of sex attacks starting when she was six.

Chipchase admitted raping and assaulting the six-year-old boy, and a string of rape and sexual assault charges involving two girls when they were aged between four and eight.




Lincoln Crown Court: Chipchase was given five life sentences after admitting a catalogue of sex abuse

Judge Sean Morris gave Chipchase five concurrent life sentences and placed him on the sex offenders' register for life.


Passing sentence at Lincoln Crown Court, he told Chipchase 'You have pleaded guilty to a catalogue of sex crimes...

'You represent a significant risk of serious harm to children from further such offending. I am of the view that if you were to be alone with any young child, male or female, your sexual urges would get the better of you and you would commit serious sexual offences against them.

'This is a case where there are multiple victims and multiple rapes. Life is the only sentence that will provide lasting and enduring protection for the public.'

Det Sgt Alison Smith of Lincolnshire Police said 'Daniel Chipchase is a predatory danger to children.'

'His future detention, supervision and monitoring will be of paramount importance. It is frightening to think what might have happened to other children had his reign of terror and abuse carried on unchecked.'

Designer Marc Jacobs leaves Louis Vuitton....Star designer to focus on his own label

Marc Jacobs, the star designer who turned Louis Vuitton from a staid luggage-maker into one of the world’s biggest luxury brands, is leaving to focus on his own label, a source close to the French company’s parent LVMH said today.

The move follows a series of leadership changes at Louis Vuitton, LVMH’s biggest profit- and revenue-contributor, aimed at helping the brand regain some of its lost prestige after a decline in sales growth over the past year.

“Marc Jacobs is leaving Vuitton and will focus on his own brand,” the source said on condition of anonymity.

LVMH and Marc Jacobs declined to comment.

Mr Jacobs’ departure after 16 years with the company comes a month after LVMH founder and chief executive Bernard Arnault appointed his daughter Delphine as deputy head of Louis Vuitton and replaced last year longstanding chief Yves Carcelle with group veteran Michael Burke.

Louis Vuitton, which built its name and profitability on its LV-embossed canvas bags, has been suffering from cooling demand in Asia and consumers’ growing preference for no-logo products.

Over the past year, the brand has put brakes on its expansion to preserve its exclusivity in response to fears it was becoming too ubiquitous, which contributed to its sales growth halving to around 5 per cent.

Last month, it hired accessories designer Darren Spaziani, formerly with Proenza Schouler, to strengthen its high-end offering of leather bags.

Nicolas Ghesquiere, a darling of fashion editors, who left Balenciaga last year after having successfully revamped the Kering fashion brand, is seen as a frontrunner to replace Jacobs.

“It would be a positive sign if Ghesquiere joined Louis Vuitton as he is one of the most coveted designers today and he would give a creative jolt to the brand,” said David Da Maia, analyst at brokerage Aurel BGC in Paris.

Mr Arnault has been regularly changing the creative and management teams of his fashion brands to refresh their style and drive expansion.

LVMH’s Celine has been doing well since award-winning designer Phoebe Philo took its creative helm in 2008 while Riccardo Tisci has brought new vitality to Givenchy since his appointment in 2005.

Mr Jacobs, whose theatrical fashion shows contributed to heightening the brand’s profile, introduced collaborations with artists such as Richard Prince, Takashi Murakami and Stephen Sprouse and recently rapper Kanye West to help make the brand more appealing.

Mr Jacobs, a bearded 50-year-old American, is regarded as one of the most respected and influential designers in the fashion world.

While Mr Jacobs has not said anything about his departure, he once said in an interview on the Louis Vuitton website, for which he wore a dark kilt and two ear studs: “Change is a great and horrible thing. People love it and hate it at the same time. Without change you just don’t move.”

Mr Jacobs today presented his last collection for Louis Vuitton, an all-black swan song that incorporated elements from his past shows such as the train station he once created and the slow-turning white carousel carrying models, including Kate Moss, of two years ago.

Today, the Marc Jacobs brand and particularly its more accessible line Marc by Marc Jacobs, are among the most profitable fashion subsidiaries within LVMH, enjoying strong demand in the United States and Japan.

Marc Jacobs also launched a cosmetics line in August in the United States, with distribution handled by Sephora, LVMH’s beauty products retail chain.

Media reports said the designer aimed to float his business - which is estimated to generate sales of around €500 million - on the New York Stock Exchange within a few years.

Some industry observers suggest Marc Jacobs has been emboldened by the success of Michael Kors, the US brand whose shares and sales have been enjoying stellar growth since the initial public offering late last year.

At the age of 24, Mr Jacobs was the youngest designer to receive the New Fashion Talent award from the Council of Fashion Designers of America. After graduating from the Parsons New School of Design, Mr Jacobs worked for Perry Ellis and created his own label in 1984 with partner Robert Duffy.

He became Louis Vuitton’s artistic director in 1997.

2 year old boy 'gives birth' to his own twin after doctors find foetus growing in his stomach !




Doctors diagnosed a Chinese toddler as "pregnant" and rushed him into surgery after discovering his twin's foetus growing inside his stomach. Picture: YouTube

A baby boy has undergone an operation to ‘give birth’ to his own twin in China.

Shocked doctors realised the toddler was ‘pregnant’ during X-rays after his stomach swelled to two thirds its normal size.

Two-year-old Xiao Feng had absorbed the undeveloped foetus in his mother’s womb and his twin included a fully formed spine fingers and toes.

Doctors said the parasitic twin would have developed into a boy after growing large enough to cause severe breathing difficulties for Xiao.

He had been rushed from his home in Huaxi village and surgeons removed the foetus measuring 20cm wide.

Identical twins form when a single egg splits during fertilisation - as opposed to two eggs both being fertilised.

Conjoined twins form when a split egg fails to fully separate. A ‘parasite’ conjoined twin can survive but not when one absorbs the other.

In 2012 surgeons in Peru operated on a three year old boy to remove a nine inch-long parasitic twin weighing a pound and a half.

In 2008 doctors had to remove a two inch embryo from the body of a 9-year-old girl in Greece.

The brain, lungs and heart are some of the last parts of the body to develop. Removing a parasitic twin is usually easier than attempting to separate conjoined twins.
