newborn baby care 5
A new born Baby has been found in storm drain when bicyclists were on a morning ride today Sunday when they heard a shocking sound coming from somewhere below them: a baby crying. They lifted a slab off a storm drain beside the bike trail and discovered a newborn boy, police in Blacktown, Australia, said.

"We felt sick. We just wanted that baby to know ... that it was OK," Hayley Otte told CNN affiliate Seven Network. Police say rescuers reached the baby, who was 2.5 meters (more than 8 feet) underground at the bottom of the drain in this suburb of Sydney.

Now the newborn is hospitalized in serious condition and a 30-year-old woman has been charged with attempted murder, New South Wales Police said in a statement.

She was denied bail and did not appear for a scheduled court appearance Monday, Australian media reported. The matter was adjourned to be heard in Penrith Local Court Friday.

President Obama Offers Legal Status to Millions of Undocumented Immigrants

PHOTO: President Barack Obama speaks during a nationally televised address from the White House in Washington, Nov. 20, 2014.
President Obama on Thursday defended the actions he's taking to shield about 5 million immigrants in the U.S. illegally from deportation as "lawful" and consistent with what his predecessors have done.

"I continue to believe that the best way to solve this problem is by working together to pass that kind of common sense law," the president said. "But until that happens, there are actions I have the legal authority to take as President - the same kinds of actions taken by Democratic and Republican presidents before me - that will help make our immigration system more fair and more just."

"The actions I'm taking are not only lawful, they're the kinds of actions taken by every single Republican president and every single Democratic president for the past half century," Mr. Obama added.

The actions he outlined will grant a reprieve from deportation to about 5 million immigrants in the U.S. illegally and allow them to apply for a three-year work permit if they can pass a background check, register with the government, submit biometric data, and establish they are eligible for relief.

US Probes Allegations ISIS Used Chemical Weapons

The U.S. is investigating claims that Islamic State militants used chemical weapons against Iraqis last month, in what would be a serious escalation of the fighting in the region.

Iraqi officials have told media outlets that the terror group used chlorine gas bombs during clashes in September near Baghdad.

White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest and a spokesman with the Pentagon could not confirm the reports but said they are taking them “seriously” and investigating the claims.

"We continue to take all allegations of chemical weapons use -- and in particular these recent allegations regarding the use of chlorine as a chemical weapon -- very seriously,” Pentagon spokesman Col. Steven Warren said in a statement. “The use of chlorine as a chemical weapon is an abhorrent act.”

Catholic Bishops Scrap Landmark Welcome to Gays in Sign of Split

pope-francis-101814.jpg
Catholic gay rights groups have reacted with disappointment to bishops scrapping their landmark welcome to gays this weekend, a move that showed deep divisions at the end of a two-week meeting sought by Pope Francis to chart a more merciful approach to ministering to Catholic families.

The bishops failed to approve even a watered-down section on ministering to homosexuals that stripped away the welcoming tone of acceptance contained in a draft document earlier in the week.

Rather than considering gays as individuals who had gifts to offer the church, the revised paragraph referred to homosexuality as one of the problems Catholic families have to confront. It said "people with homosexual tendencies must be welcomed with respect and delicacy," but repeated church teaching that marriage is only between man and woman. The paragraph failed to reach the two-thirds majority needed to pass.

The Boston-based DignityUSA organization said in a statement late Saturday: "Unfortunately, today,

This woman pictured left has arranged a hiredkiller to murder his own brother because he refuse to work.
 Larisa Kazakova who didn't know is the images were fake. never knew the hitman she had hired for the equivalent of £1,500 was actually an undercover police officer. She was caught after a hidden camera caught her nodding her head in approval before handing the money over.
Kazakova, 32, is now facing eight-and-a-half years in prison for attempted murder. The mother-of-three and brother Mukhtarbek, 29, had moved to the central Russian city of Surgut two years ago in the hope of finding work and sending money back to their families in Kyrgyzstan.
But she complained that although she worked in several places as a cleaner, her brother had not got a job and was just living off her hard work. She then decided to try and find a hitman to get rid of him.

She claimed that he was violent when she had tried to move away from him and that because both of them were in the country illegally, she was unable to go to police.
