A man “lost control” and broke the arm of a crying baby he was supposed to be looking after. Ra-shawn Oluwatobi, 27, put his hand on the three-month-old boy’s shoulder and deliberately pushed down on him after becoming frustrated with the baby's wailing.

After breaking the boy's arm, Oluwatobi reportedly panicked and placed the crying boy in a sleeping bag in his mum's bedroom at her house. Later that day, he sent a message to the baby's mum - who was not present at the time of the assault - telling her he had "f***ed up" and hurt the baby's arm.

The mum initially could not see anything wrong with her baby, but took him to Alder Hey Children's Hospital the next day after noticing he appeared to be having trouble moving his arm. There a scan revealed he had suffered a spiral fracture to his right upper arm bone.

Oluwatobi, of Laurel Road, Fairfield, was arrested, and later pleaded guilty to causing grievous bodily harm without intent.

At Liverpool crown court today, December 12, prosecutor Matthew Dixon said: "The defendant was at the baby's mother's house, minding the baby. The baby woke up and the defendant gave him a bottle. He started crying and the defendant tried to stop him, but nothing the defendant did seemed to be making any difference.

"After a short while the defendant got annoyed and put the baby down on a chair. He then lost control and put pressure down on the baby's right shoulder, pushing down with one of his hands. The simply caused the baby to cry even more.

"He checked the baby's arm and saw that it was drooping, and panicked and put the baby in a sleeping bag in his mother's bedroom."

Oluwatobi initially made no comment in a police interview, but later "made full and frank admissions to what had had done, and said what he had done was a mistake."

US set to lose measles elimination status: The ‘house is on fire’

Measles outbreaks are spreading across the U.S., and the nation is likely to lose its status as a country where the disease is eliminated, something that infectious disease specialists say is directly related to President Trump’s appointment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).

South Carolina this week quarantined at least 254 people after confirming more than two dozen measles cases in the state. It’s the latest in what has been the worst year for measles in the U.S. in recent history.

An outbreak in West Texas this year saw more than 700 confirmed cases since January and the deaths of two children. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there have been 47 reported outbreaks in the country this year.

“This is a very clear example of the damage that the anti-vaccine movement has done in the United States,” said Fiona Havers, adjunct associate professor at the Emory School of Medicine and a former infectious disease staffer at the CDC.

Kennedy was one of the country’s most well-known anti-vaccine advocates when Trump named him to lead the HHS. Since taking power, Kennedy has moved to remake the nation’s vaccine advisory board and other parts of the government to reflect his vision.

A nation loses its distinction as a country where measles has been eliminated when it sees at least 12 months of sustained transmission.

Measles spiked in Canada and Mexico this year as well, with the former officially losing its measles elimination status last month.

The U.S. declared measles to be eliminated in 2000, but Jan. 20 of next year will mark 12 straight months of uninterrupted measles transmission and reaching that day with continued spread looks all but certain.

AOC splurged nearly $50K on pricey hotel stays, dining and renting Puerto Rico concert venue where Bad Bunny performed

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) dropped almost $50,000 on hotels and meals in Puerto Rico in the third quarter of this year — as well as renting a San Juan venue where she was caught on tape grooving at an August Bad Bunny concert.

AOC’s principal campaign committee shelled out $680.52 on July 28 to stay at the lavish Hotel Palacio Provincial, along with another $1,507.26 on Aug. 29 and a whopping $9,440,79 on Sept. 29, according to third quarter federal campaign finance filings — even as the “Squad” rep on her social media accounts denounced gentrification that was taking place on the island.

Ban goes into effect on December 10. Affects children under 16. Comes with heavy fines for companies who fail to comply.

President Donald Trump's administration has warned that Europe faces "civilisational erasure" and questioned whether certain nations can remain reliable allies, in a new strategy document that puts a particular focus on the continent.

The 33-page National Security Strategy sees the US leader outline his vision for the world and how he will wield US military and economic power to work towards it.

Trump described the document as a "roadmap" to ensure America remains "the greatest and most successful nation in human history".

European politicians have begun to react, with Germany's Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul saying his country did not need "outside advice".

A formal National Security Strategy is typically released by presidents once each term. It can form a framework for future policies and budgets, as well as signalling to the world where the president's priorities lie.

The new document follows similar rhetoric to Trump's speech to the United Nations earlier this year, where he had harsh criticism for Western Europe and its approach to migration and clean energy.

The new report doubles down on Trump's point of view, calling for the restoration of "Western identity", combatting foreign influence, ending mass migration, and focusing more on US priorities such as stopping drug cartels.

Focusing on Europe, it asserts that if current trends continue the continent would be "unrecognisable in 20 years or less" and its economic issues are "eclipsed by the real and more stark prospect of civilizational erasure".

"It is far from obvious whether certain European countries will have economies and militaries strong enough to remain reliable allies," the document states.

The two countries incel wignat white nationalists worship are going to import millions of Indians.

As favourite immigration destinations of Indians such as the United States, Canada and many other developed countries, tighten entry pathways, global labour mobility is finding other routes. Rising nativism, political pressures and restrictive visa regimes in many Western nations are reshaping how workers, especially from labour-abundant countries like India, move around the world. The contraction in one part of the world is coinciding with an expansion in another. Russia, Japan and several other ageing or labour-short economies are increasingly opening their doors to Indian workers.

In July this year, a Russian business leader had expressed hope about inviting a large number of Indian workers. "As far as I know, by the end of the year, 1 million specialists from India will come to Russia, including the Sverdlovsk region. A new Consulate General is opening in Yekaterinburg, which will deal with these issues," Andrey Besedin, the head of the Ural Chamber of Commerce and Industry, told the RosBusinessConsulting (RBC) news agency. Besedin said the migration of Indians would fill the shortage of a highly qualified workforce in the Sverdlovsk region.

Japan’s turn towards Indian workforce

Japan, like Russia, faces a demographic crisis but has traditionally been cautious about large-scale immigration. That stance has begun to soften in recent years, and the August 2025 India-Japan Action Plan on Human Resources marks a breakthrough in bilateral manpower cooperation.

President Trump gave the economy under his second administration an “A-plus-plus-plus-plus-plus” ahead of his trip to Pennsylvania to sell his efforts to bring down inflation on Tuesday.

The president made the comments during an interview with Politico that was conducted on Monday. During the interview, Trump was asked about one of his of his supporters who gave him an “A-plus-plus” grade overall but said not enough is being done to address the high costs of goods.

“I inherited a total mess. Prices were at an all-time high when I came in. Prices are coming down substantially,” Trump said, referring to what he said were decreasing energy costs.

“Prices are all coming down. It’s been 10 months. It’s amazing what we’ve done. If you think of gasoline a gallon, they had it at $4.50, almost $5.00. You go to some of the states, you had it at $6.00. We hit, uh, three states two days ago, $1.99 a gallon. When that happens, everything comes down,” he said.

Trump’s remarks come as he prepares to travel to Scranton, Pa. on Tuesday to tout his efforts to bring down costs. The president, who campaigned successfully on affordability in 2024, has since been plagued by frustration among Americans over prices remaining high.

Republicans saw their biggest warning sign yet on the issue in last month’s off-year elections when Democrats won elections in key races across the country.

Trump has laid blame on the Biden administration for high costs and has referred to Democratic messaging on affordability as “a hoax” and “a con job.”

The administration has also sought to address the affordability issue through removing tariffs on various products in recent months.

Two US soldiers and a US civilian interpreter have been killed in Syria in an ambush by a lone Islamic State gunman, the US military has said.
Three other service members were injured in the attack, during which the gunman was "engaged and killed".
The identities of those killed are being withheld for 24 hours until their next of kin have been informed.
Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth, said: "Let it be known, if you target Americans - anywhere in the world you will spend the rest of your brief, anxious life knowing the United States will hunt you, find you, and ruthlessly kill you."
The ambush occurred in Palmyra, located in the centre of the country, according to Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell.
