  Boris Becker has said an Alternative for Germany (AfD) MP accused of posting a "clearly racist" tweet about his son must now face "consequences". The German tennis champion said that an attempt by Jens Maier to distance himself from the post was a "trick". It comes after a tweet posted on the far-right politician's account referred to Noah Becker as "little half-negro". Noah Becker has an African-American grandfather on his mother's side. Mr Maier denies writing the tweet. The post has since been deleted from the Twitter account linked to Mr Maier, who has blamed one of his staff members. In a column written for the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag, Mr Becker said the denial by Mr Maier was a common response from members of Germany's AfD party. "That's what the AfD always does; it's their trick: put something out there in the world and then distance yourself from it," he wrote. He also prai

Some parts of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos has been thrown into darkness for over three hours without any explanation from the Federal Airports Authority of Nigeria (FAAN).  Sahara Reporters at the international wing of the airport observed that the carousel area at the E-arrival  wing has been in darkness for major part of today without any solution to the problem by the engineers of FAAN. Also, the arrival area outside the terminal to the former car park, Home-tel, which is now used as a staff car park for FAAN officials, limousines and cab operators is also in total darkness. Passengers arriving from international destinations are made to trek to the car park in darkness, which is over 300 meters from the terminal, thereby exposing them to danger. FAAN had deployed a bus to the arrival terminal to convey passengers to and from the car park, but only one out of the four buses is operational at the moment, a situation, which makes

Moments, such as seeing Flynn, eight, learn to ride a bike or hearing him say his first word, should be treasured by Hayley forever. But she can’t remember Flynn being born. She can’t even remember her own wedding day. Hayley, 35, said: “I can’t remember half the things I used to do with Flynn when he was younger,” she says. “Even little things, like when I give Ebony a bath now – I can’t remember ever doing that with Flynn, although I must have done it."

The ticket stated Sarah Walton's vehicle had been in the town's Asda car park for 14 hours Asda bosses have been forced to apologize to a customer who was wrongly sent a £70 parking fine after visiting a store twice in one day. The ticket stated Sarah Walton's car was in the Grimsby supermarket car park for 14 hours. In reality the vehicle was driven to the store twice that day - once briefly in the morning, and then again later at night. Ms Walton was shocked when she got the fine, branding it is 'incomprehensible'. She told the Grimsby Telegraph : "Even if you worked there you wouldn't stay 14 hours." The alleged parking infringement took place on Thursday, December 7, when her husband had been driving the car, which is in her name. He says that he went to the store in the morning just after 7am on his way to work to use the cash machine, driving in one end of car park and leaving through another. Later that day he took

Despite the fact President Muhammadu Buhari has not signified interest in seeking re-election in the 2019 Presidential election, the Minister of Communications, Alhaji Adebayo Shittu, on Wednesday, January 3, who rated the president’s performance high says he must run again. Shittu said this in an interview with State House correspondents shortly after a meeting he had with Buhari at the Presidential Villa, Abuja. The minister said those of them who he described as the President’s ardent supporters would prevail on him to seek re-election. He said they would help Buhari to make up his mind so that Nigeria can continue to enjoy stability and progress. Specifically on whether the President will contest, Shittu said, “It goes without saying. I mean if you have a child who goes to primary school and he does well; he proceeds to secondary school and he does well, and you keep asking if he will be going to university. It goes with out saying. “By the grace of God, w

Three people have died as winter storm Eleanor swept across most of northern Europe, causing wide scale disruption. A skier died in the French Alps and 15 others were injured elsewhere in the country, four of them seriously. Two people were killed when they were swept away by a huge wave on Spain's northern Basque coast. The storm, which hit most of northern Europe after battering the UK, has also cut power to tens of thousands of homes and affected transport. Storm Eleanor is the UK's fifth named storm of the season.  In northern France, the storm cut power to more than 200,000 households and Eleanor is set to move to other regions throughout the day, including Corsica. Air travel was also disrupted in the capital, Paris, and in the east of the country. In Paris, the Eiffel Tower was closed because of the strong winds. The city's parks have also been closed until the storm dies down because of worries over falling tree branches. A skier was kill

Trim and file your nails.   Before you begin to paint your nails, it's important that you create the desired shape of your nails. Trimming them to the length that you want them and smoothing out the edges with a nail file will help you achieve a prettier, polished look, and will prevent your nails from chipping as quickly. When you file your nails, make sure to move the nail file in one direction. You don't want to saw your nails back and forth, as this can create jagged edges and lead to splitting, breaking, and pealing. Focus on moving the file from left to right, gently swiping the edge of your nail as you go across it. Buff your nails  To achieve a polished look on your nails and remove any ridges in your nails, use a four-way buffer. Make sure to move the buffer in an X pattern, and don't over-buff your nails as this can create too much friction, which will build up heat, resulting in weak nails. Make sure when you buff your nails that

For a long time, I had a habit of wearing too much bronzer, thinking it gave me a ‘healthy’ glow. In truth, it made me look overly tan, and there was a distinct shade difference between my face and neck.  It wasn’t until years later that I learned how to properly apply bronzer. Since then, I’ve discovered a few more solutions to common mistakes women make in their day-to-day makeup routines.  These are the common makeup mistakes you need to stop making Not cleaning your makeup brushes  We've all been guilty of this from time to time. Even most makeup artists confess that the time-consuming brush-cleaning process is their least favorite part of the job. But even if you don't care that dirty brushes can make you break out, don't forget that they're affecting your makeup application. Not only will the colors be all muddled together, but a precise technique is rendered way more complicated — the bristles are already overloaded with

The big-voiced singer razzled and dazzled during her New Year's Eve performance on Sunday night, singing not one, but two songs for the freezing crowd. The notorious diva wowed with her glittering medley of "Vision of Love" and "Hero" and even made a joke at her own expense, saying to the audience that the night was a "disaster" because she didn't have her hot tea.
