Four?children dead and several people injured as train collides with a school bus in?France
At least four children have died and several others were seriously injured when their school coach was 'cut in half' after colliding with a train in the south of France today.

The horrific accident happened close to the town of Perpignan when the vehicle 'was caught between barriers' shortly after 4pm.   A TER commuter train travelling at around 50mph ploughed into the bus, causing carnage among the party from a high school in nearby Millas. 
A witness who was on the train, named as Barbara, said "it was a very violent crash - it seemed as if the train would derail". Casualties are being rushed to hospital in Perpignan. Police and emergency medics are at the scene.

Transport Minister Elisabeth Borne called the crash a "terrible accident" and said on Twitter that she was going to the scene, about 850km (530 miles) south of Paris.

Lady shares photos of her and her boyfriend to celebrate three years anniversary but she gets more than she bargained for

If you are not ready to find out the bitter truth about your significant other, don't go posting their photo on Twitter because social media users will help you dig up dirt on them, whether you want it or not. A South African lady has learned this the hard way. The lady, Nina, shared loved-up photos of her and her boyfriend to mark their 3 years anniversary and a lady replied, telling her that her boyfriend has been sending her direct messages on Twitter. The tweet quickly blew up, with people laughing at the unexpected twist. What made them laugh at Nina's plight was that, just some months back, Nina made fun of someone's relationship. The lady shared about her boyfriend and Nina laughed about it. When she asked what was so funny, Nina said her relationship was. Now, that a social media user claims Nina's man is sending her DMs, social media users see it as some sort of Karma.

President Buhari’s re-election chances are as tall as El-Rufai - Reno Omokri

It is no longer news that President Buhari has declared his interest to seek a second term in office, much to the secret chagrin of his side kick, Malam Nasir El-Rufai, who, though he feigns delight at the President’s decision, is secretly disappointed. His over ambition is very well known in power circles and he was hoping that the President would stand down and instead pick him as his proxy. But that is not my focus for this piece. My focus is the reason the President gave for wanting to be re-elected President. A statement released by the Presidency, “the President said he was responding to the clamour by Nigerians to re-contest in 2019.” Notice the language. The President is not running because he has a good record of achievement (he does not). He is not running because he has plans to implement (again, he does not). He is also not running because he has unfinished projects to complete. President Buhari instead is running because of the “clamour by Nigerians”...

Policemen kicked me with gun, kicked the balls of my deputy, Fayose cries

The governor has alleged that police officers have instructions to kill him. Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose Ekiti State governor, Ayodele Fayose, has narrated the tale of how he was allegedly attacked by security operatives in Ado Ekiti on Wednesday, July 11, 2018, just days before the state's July 14 gubernatorial election. Confusion enveloped the state early on Wednesday when security operatives reportedly stopped the People's Democratic Party (PDP) from holding a campaign rally at Fajuyi Park by firing gunshots into the air. This reportedly led to the governor attempting to lead supporters back to the venue before he was rebuffed by security operatives who fired shots into the air again, with reports that teargas canisters were also fired. The PDP soon raised alarm on social media that Governor Fayose was 'teargassed' and attacked by officers who took over his offi...
