VIDEO: LAST BRITISH IN GUANTANAMO RELASED

(CNN)For Shaker Aamer, the last British resident held in the American prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, it has been a long haul.

Bounty hunters captured Aamer in Afghanistan in 2001 and turned him over to the United States. He was cleared for release from Guantanamo in 2007. And on Friday, eight years later, he finally returned home to the UK, arriving around 1 p.m. local time (9 a.m. ET).

"The reason I have been strong is because of the support of people so strongly devoted to the truth," Aamer said in a statement Friday.

"If I was the fire to be lit to tell the truth, it was the people who protected the fire from the wind. My thanks go to Allah first, second to my wife, my family, to my kids and then to my lawyers who did everything they could to carry the word to the world," he said.

Male Orca flings seal into air

A stunning video shows how a male killer whale named T69C launched a harbor seal around 80 feet high into the air with just a flick of its tail. Experts said orca punting is rare. Generally, when orcas hit their prey, they do not eat them.

Video was captured by Mike Walker who was shooting for Eagle Wing Tours. He caught the footage on October 25 off the coast of Victoria, Canada. Brett Soberg, head of Eagle Wing, shared that they have captured many whale watching, but this one was quite different and rare.

Brett affirmed that it is the fourth time that he has seen an orca doing like this in around two decades. As per the information on the YouTube blurb, the orca called T69C was born in 1995 and is the only male member in its group.

Before flinging it out of the water, the orca was chasing the sea. Cetacean researcher Chris Parsons said that though orcas prey on seals, they do not eat them after hitting them. "But when they hit Dall's porpoises, they do it to eviscerate them. They hit them so hard that their entrails pop out, which they leave behind after eating the muscle and blubber", affirmed Parsons.

Great white sharks are considered to be the topmost predators of the sea. But the orca whale is quite powerful out of all and another interesting fact about them is they can be found in every ocean on earth.

Youngsters at risk of getting genital herpes from oral sex

The World Health Organization (WHO) for the first time provided estimate on the global prevalence of herpes virus. As per the WHO, two-thirds of the world’s population under the age group of 50 years has this highly infectious virus that leads to cold sores around the mouth.

A WHO study has unveiled that over 3.7 billion people under the age group of 50 years have the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1). And, 417 million people in the age group of 17 and 49 years have the other form of the disease, called HSV-2, which leads to genital herpes.

In the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), a person can suffer from mouth ulcers. But with time, this type of infection is becoming a major reason for genital infection as well, especially in rich nations. Owing to improved hygiene level in affluent countries, HSV-1rate in childhood is on decline, leaving youngsters at increased of catching the virus due to oral sex.

HSV-2 can increase the risk of HIV. Sami Gottlieb, a WHO medical officer, said, “We really need to accelerate the development of vaccines against herpes simplex virus, and if a vaccine designed to prevent HSV-2 infection also prevented HSV-1, it would have far reaching benefits”.

Nathalie Broutet, also a WHO medical officer, said that the US National Institutes of Health and companies are carrying out trials to find out if a preventative vaccine can be preferred. Earlier, the trials were stopped after the product was found not effective.

TRAGEDIJA U BUKUREŠTU: 30 MRTVIH...

BUKUREŠT-Najmanje 26 osoba je poginulo, a 88 povređeno u eksploziji i požaru u jednom noćnom klubu u Bukureštu gde je bilo okupljeno više stotina ljudi, saopštili su vladini zvaničnici. To je jedna od najvećih nesreća u rumunskoj prestonici u poslednjih nekoliko decenija, a sumnja se da su požar izazvala pirotehnička sredstva, preneo je Rojters.

Bilans stradalih je potvrdio i zamenik premijera Gabrijel Oprea za TV stanicu Antena 3 sa lica mesta gde je stiglo na desetine ambulantnih i vatrogasnih vozila, prenosi Rojters.

On je rekao da je u pitanju prava „tragedija”, dok je rumunski predsednik Klaus Joanis izjavio da je „šokiran” zbog poginulih, izvestio je AFP.

„Ovo je veoma tužan trenutak za našu naciju”, napisao je on na svom profilu na Fejsbuku.

„Do sada je 88 povređenih koji su prevezeni u nekoliko bolnica po gradu”, saopštilo je rumunsko ministarstvo unutrašnjih poslova, prenosi AFP.

Strahuje se da bi broj poginulih mogao biti veći, jer je u klubu bilo 400 ljudi na rok koncertu, kazao je zamenik ministra unutrašnjih poslova Raed Arafat.

Jedan od očevidaca je ispričao da su u klubu korišćena pirotehnička sredstva i da se zatim zapalio jedan stub, a onda i tavanica. Nakon toga došlo je do eksplozije i pojavio se gust dim.

Došlo je do stampeda dok su ljudi pokušavali da pobegnu napolje iz kluba, ispričao je drugi očevidac za Rojters.

Zamenik premijera Oprea kazao je da je u toku istraga o uzrocima nesreće.

Na tv snimcima vide se brojni policajci i bolničari koji pokušavaju da pomognu mladim ljudima koji leže na ulici ispred kluba, prenosi Rojters.

Devojci pozlilo u avionu! Pogledajte šta se zatim desilo...

MONTEVIDEO - Urugvajski predsednik Tabare Vaskes iskoristio je znanje svoje nekadašnje lekarske profesije i pomogao mladoj Francuskinji u avionu za Pariz.

Predsednikov portparol rekao je da se incident dogodio kada je pilot zatražio pomoć i pitao da li ima lekara u avionu, na šta je Vaskes sa svojim timom ustao i ponudio da pomogne, prenosi AP.

Devojka stara 17 godina gušila se, a pošto se njeno disanje nije popravljalo, Vaskes joj je dao injekciju kojom je njeno stanje stabilizovano. Incident je mogao da se završi vrlo ozbiljno, objasnio je predsednikov portparol.

Devojka je naime pojela hranu koja je sadržavala orahe, na koje je alergična, što je izazvalo tešku reakciju.

Vaskes se našao u avionu putujući u državnu posetu Francuskoj, navodi AP
