Arrested Mount Kinabalu 'nudist' is scared and upset, father says

A British woman arrested for allegedly posing naked on Malaysia's Mount Kinabalu is "scared" and "very upset", her father has said.

Eleanor Hawkins, 23, from Derby, is among a group of ten people alleged to have stripped before taking photographs at the peak of the mountain on May 30.

Officials in Malaysia say she could be charged with causing public nuisance.

Timothy Hawkins, who has spoken to his daughter, said the situation should not be "blown out of all proportion".

Mt Kinabalu was hit by a magnitude 6.0 earthquake last Friday which left 18 people dead, including children.

A senior minister last week said the tourists had angered spirits by showing "disrespect" to the mountain, which is considered sacred by some tribes in Malaysia.

Ms Hawkins and three other western tourists appeared in court on Wednesday to have their remand extended, according to Malaysian newspaper The Star.

They will be held until Saturday while police continue to investigate.

'It's not good'

Mr Hawkins - who said his daughter was "obviously in the photos" - said: "It's fair enough to charge for the misdemeanour committed.

"What we don't want is her lumbered with further charges."

He said he had spoken to his daughter on Wednesday morning, saying she was "okay".

But he said it was "not a situation she's been in before, so it's not good".

In a separate interview with the Guardian newspaper, he said: "I have got every faith in [Malaysia's] judicial system. I just hope they don't make an example of them."

Ranau district police chief Mohd Farhan Lee Abdullah confirmed to the BBC that the authorities had arrested Ms Hawkins at Tawau airport in Sabah on Tuesday.

Two Canadian tourists, who are siblings, and a Dutchman turned themselves in to police on the same day.

Their lawyer, Ronny Cham, told the BBC's Jennifer Pak that he had requested the four be held apart from other detainees in order to ensure their safety.

Jalaluddin Abdul Rahman, Sabah's police commissioner, said officials were still looking for six other tourists from the same group.

The Muslim-majority country is socially conservative, and Mount Kinabalu is considered sacred by Sabah's Kadazan Dusun tribe.

Pictures posted on social media angered many in Malaysia, but public sentiment intensified after the earthquake.

Fathers Day

Father's Day is observed on the third Sunday of June. It honors all fathers, grandfathers, great-grandfathers, and father figures for their contribution. It was created to complement Mother's Day. It is not a federal holiday. Businesses will be open or closed based on the day of the week, Sunday.

Celebration\ Observance

Father's Day is a time to recognize fathers and father figures who have influenced a person's life. It is celebrated through cards, gifts, dining out, gifts such as electronic gadgets, sports attire, household tools or time spent together.

History

Father's Day started in the early 20th century in the United States to celebrate fatherhood and to complement Mother's Day. It was first celebrated on June 19, 1910 in Spokane, Washington at the YMCA by Sonora Smart Dodd. She heard about Mother's Day in 1909 and told her pastor she thought fathers should have a similar holiday. Her father raised six children as a single parent. The local clergymen agreed to the idea and the first Father's Day sermon was given on June 19, 1910.

Hungary army to ground all Gripen jets after second crash-landing

Budapest (AFP) - The Hungary army said on Wednesday it would ground and review its fleet of Jas-39 Gripen fighter jets, made by Swedish manufacturer Saab, after a second crash-landing within a month.

The announcement came after a Hungarian pilot was forced to eject himself from a jet near the town of Kecskemet, in central Hungary.

Saab said it would "fully support" the investigation.

"We never speculate on the reasons before a very careful analysis," a spokesman for the company told AFP.

"We have very rigorous security systems in place. The equipment has been operating for many years around the world and is a very proven and stable platform."

The accident happened when the plane's wheels failed during a training mission, said Lieutenant General Zoltan Orosz, deputy chairman of the joint chiefs of staff.

The experienced pilot tried to land the Gripen on its belly before ejecting himself when the jet turned sideways and became uncontrollable.

The pilot is in a stable condition in the Kecskemet hospital, Lt Gen Orosz added.

Hungary has a fleet of 14 Jas-39 Gripen fighters.

An investigation is already underway into another incident involving the aircraft.

On May 19, a two-man Hungarian crew had to eject before their jet crashed during a military exercise at Caslav army base in eastern Czech Republic.

The Hungarian defence ministry said the two cases were not related.

Miley Cyrus: I Told My Mom I Love Women When I Was 14

Not long after Miley Cyrus's cutesy Disney show Hannah Montana premiered in 2006, a 14-year-old Miley revealed something unexpected to her mom, Tish.

"I remember telling her I admire women in a different way," she tells Paper Magazine in a new interview. "And she asked me what that meant. And I said, I love them. I love them like I love boys."

Miley says she considers Tish and her famous dad, Billy Ray Cyrus, "conservative-ass motherf---ers," so her announcement was not taken lightly.

"And it was so hard for her to understand," Miley continues. "She didn't want me to be judged and she didn't want me to go to hell. But she believes in me more than she believes in any god. I just asked for her to accept me. And she has."

Miley, who was once engaged to actor Liam Hemsworth and dated Patrick Schwarzenegger until May, shared last month that her romantic relationships have included women as well as men.

The "Wrecking Ball" singer tells Paper that she's had romances just as notable with women as those she's had with her famous boyfriends.

"I've had that," she says. "But people never really looked at it, and I never brought it into the spotlight."

Now, Miley's feelings about gender and sexuality are, as the magazine describes, "fluid."

"I am literally open to every single thing that is consenting and doesn't involve an animal and everyone is of age. Everything that's legal, I'm down with. Yo, I'm down with any adult — anyone over the age of 18 who is down to love me," she shares. "I don't relate to being boy or girl, and I don't have to have my partner relate to boy or girl."

And those aren't empty words. In May, Miley launched the Happy Hippie Foundation, an organization to help LGBT and homeless youth. 

"As long as you're not hurting anyone, your choices are your choices," she says.

Apple's new developer resources for iOS 9, OS X El Capitan promise next-level apps and services

At is annual World Wide Developers Conference on Monday, Apple announced a host of new technologies designed to help developers offer improved user experiences over the entire Apple product line. 

Last year, Apple introduced a new framework called "HomeKit" which was designed to enable a seamless way for smart devices to communicate with each other. Instead of a companion app to access house data in the framework, Apple is relying on its Siri virtual assistant. 

Briefly mentioned at WWDC, Siri integration lets users create a "scenes" for HomeKit-enabled appliances. By issuing voice commands through Siri, users are able to control connected devices within the home, including recently-announced HomeKit-compatible hardware from Insteon, Lutron, iHome and Philips Hue lighting.

Only a few third-party manufacturers are showing initial support, perhaps due to Apple's strict requirements for program entry that call for hardware encryption, but SVP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi said consumers will soon see HomeKit-compatible window shades, thermostats, smoke detectors, carbon monoxide sensors and more. 

Metal

Announced last year, Metal is a base-level framework or iOS that improves graphics performance up to 50 percent. As reported previously, Apple announced Metal for Mac alongside the introduction of OS X 10.11 El Capitan. 

Metal combines OpenCL and OpenGL into a single API, allowing developers an extremely flexible and powerful tool for app creation. Further, the framework draws on the same data resources for both graphics and compute operations, while enabling multi-threading. The end result is a highly efficient interface that gets developers as close to GPU — the "metal" — as possible without jumping through programming hoops.

With Metal, games such as Epic's Fortnite, which was demoed during the keynote, can now be developed for Mac with the same high-performance rendering engine that's available on iOS. 

Bukola Saraki elected Senate President

Bukola Saraki, a former governor of Kwara State, has been elected the president of the eighth Senate.

Mr. Saraki of the All Progressives Congress, APC, defeated his party’s preferred candidate, Ahmed Lawan, to emerge the Senate president.

He was nominated by Sani Yerima and seconded by Dino Melaye.

He was elected unanimously by 57 senators present at the session.

The remaining 51 senators were at the International Conference Centre waiting for a truce meeting reportedly called by the leadership of the APC and President Muhammadu Buhari.

One senator, from Borno state, passed on shortly after he was elected.

Mr. Saraki has been sworn into office.

The election for the office of Senate Deputy President is still ongoing. Immediate past deputy, Ike Ekweremadu, is contesting against Ali Ndume from Borno State.

He is expected to win the race following a power sharing deal that had the minority but influential PDP back the new senate president, Bukola Saraki.

Our earlier update indicating Mr. Ekweremadu had been elected unopposed was in error and is regretted.

WWE Elimination Chamber 2015 Results: Biggest Highlights and Low Points

The 2015 WWE Elimination Chamber pay-per-view has concluded, the results are in and the champions are set, so it's time for us to reflect on what happened and break down the good and bad.

Earlier this year, it seemed as though the Elimination Chamber concept was dead in WWE, but it saw a resurrection on the WWE Network as a special event. Naturally, if WWE was to entice fans to sign up for the network, this would have to be something good.

Advertised as having the first Tag Team Championship Elimination Chamber match, another first for the vacated Intercontinental Championship, a champion vs. champion match and more, the card seemed to promise quite a bit.

With that in mind, did WWE deliver or did this end up having more negatives than positives?

Let's take a look at what the highlights and low points were, presented in order of appearance.

Kim Kardashian Is Pregnant! Reality Star Expecting Second Child With Kanye West

North West is about to become a big sister!

Kim Kardashian revealed that she's expecting her second child with Kanye West in the supertease following tonight's mid-season finale of Keeping Up With the Kardashians.

The clip shows Kim hearing the exciting news during a doctor's appointment shortly before spilling the beans to Khloé Kardashian.

"I just got the blood test back, and I am pregnant!" Kim—who's beaming ear-to-ear—exclaims to her stunned sister.

The brunette bombshell has made no secret of the fact that she's been eager to grow her family of three despite her difficult first pregnancy, and she's documented how hard it's been to get pregnant again on the E! reality series.

In fact, the 10th season follows her "journey of trying to get pregnant for the second time, which has proven to not be as easy as the first time," Kim shared on iTV's Lorraine earlier this year.

Between dramatic procedures and even, ahem, "exhausting" escapades with her hubby, Kim has gone to any length to ensure that she has another child.

NEWS: Kim Kardashian tried to get pregnant "doing all the wrong things"

Earlier this month, the Selfish author opened up to E! News about how Kanye felt about their ongoing efforts to grow their family.

"We are trying. We try every single day. You can't try harder than we try," she admitted. "It's getting exhausting. He always says, 'Trying for baby No. 2 isn't as fun as trying to baby No. 1.'"

Kim continued, "But we're literally trying everything that we can to make it happen, so I'm to the point now where it's not as stressful to me. And maybe that's when they say it happens."

She also admitted that she hadn't written off the idea of using a surrogate to welcome her second child.

"I think if it came to that point, but we've trying for over a year and I would maybe wait a couple of years until that point happened," Kim told us at the time.

PHOTOS: Remember Kim Kardashian's life as a blond?

The social media maven gave birth to North—or Nori, as her family affectionately calls her—on June 15, 2013, in Los Angeles after a highly publicized, rocky pregnancy.

Shortly after welcoming her firstborn, the new mama gushed about her little one in the blog Romy & the Bunnies.

"I love being a mom. It's the most rewarding feeling! I really love every phase! Just the way my daughter laughs with me, all of the small things in life you appreciate!"

The 34-year-old added, "It is an adjustment trying to balance a career and motherhood for sure, but the key is to prioritize."

A little more than one year after giving birth, on May 24, 2014, Kimye (aka the #worldsmosttalkedaboutcouple) tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at the Forte di Belvedere in Florence, Italy surrounded by family and their famous friends.

During an emotional sit-down with Kris Jenner, Kanye gushed about the ladies in his life, saying, "I have two really special people to live for...A whole family to live for."

Make that three, Kanye! Congratulations to the Wests on the exciting news!

Rossi: "To be on the podium is always magical"

The Italian secured third in a hard fought race, making it his sixth consecutive podium.

Valentino Rossi finsihed 3rd in the Gran Premio d'Italia TIM, earning valuable points to maintain his place at the top of the championship standings.

Rossi: "Mugello was very busy, because I am very competitive and all the Italian fans expected a great race from me. It‘s a bit of a shame that it wasn‘t a fantastic race. I wasn‘t strong enough but at the end of the race I arrived on the podium after a great recovery and a hard race. To be on the podium is always magical with the track being full of people. I‘ve been suffering the whole weekend, I was never strong and didn‘t achieve a good level of speed. In the race I also suffered a lot, especially on the first lap. I think we have to improve, especially with Jorge being very strong, he is in a great shape and to match his level we need to be more competitive."

Ana Ivanovic

Early life

Ivanovic was born in Belgrade, SFR Yugoslavia. Ivanovic's mother Dragana, a lawyer, has been courtside during most of her matches. Her father Miroslav, a self-employed businessman, attended as many events as he possibly could. Ivanovic has a younger brother, Miloš, with whom she loved to play basketball.

Ivanovic first picked up a racket at the age of five after watching Monica Seles, a fellow Yugoslav, on television. She started her career after memorizing the telephone number of a local tennis clinic from an advertisement. During the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia, she was forced to train during the morning to avoid bombardments. Later, she admitted that she trained in an abandoned swimming pool in the winter, as no tennis facilities were available. When she was 15, Ivanovic spent four hours in a locker room crying after a defeat – the first that her new manager had witnessed. She thought that Dan Holzmann, the manager in question, would abandon her, thinking her not good enough to become a professional tennis player. However,he has remained her manager to this day.

Career

2004: Rising star

Ivanovic reached the final of the Junior Wimbledon tournament in 2004, losing to Kateryna Bondarenko. In 2004, she went 26–0 on the ITF circuit, and won all five events that she entered, two of them as a qualifier. As a qualifier in Zürich, she overcame a 5–1 third set deficit along with two match points to defeat world No. 29 Tatiana Golovin. She then debuted in the qualifying draw of a Major at the US Open, where she was defeated by Lioudmila Skavronskaia after winning the first set 6–1 and having two match points in the 3rd set. Her first notable breakthrough occurred in the next tournament, when she took Venus Williams to two tiebreaks, before losing in straight sets in the second round of the Zürich Open. She had held several set points in both sets. She followed up her run in Zürich with a quarterfinal showing at Luxembourg the next week.

2005: First WTA title

Ivanovic won her first career singles title early in the year at the Canberra International, after defeating Melinda Czink in the final. Her ranking continued to rise after wins over Svetlana Kuznetsova in Miami, Nadia Petrova also in Miami, and Vera Zvonareva in Warsaw, all of whom were top 10 players. Ivanovic lost to Amélie Mauresmo at the Australian Open in the third round, at Doha in the third round after holding a 6–2, 2–0 lead, and at the Miami Masters in the quarter finals. However, Ivanovic's biggest win to date then came over Mauresmo in the third round of the French Open. Ivanovic advanced to the quarter-finals of only her second Grand Slam tournament by defeating future French Open champion Francesca Schiavone in the fourth round. Later in the year, Ivanovic reached the semifinals of the Zurich Open and Generali Ladies Linz, losing to Patty Schnyder in both tournaments. Ivanovic finished the year ranked No. 16.

Ivanovic started the season at the Hopman Cup in Perth, Australia with fellow Serbian Novak Djokovic, where the pair narrowly missed the final. To start off her WTA year, she played at the Medibank International in Sydney where she once again defeated Amélie Mauresmo, this time in straight sets, before falling to Svetlana Kuznetsova in the quarterfinals. A week later, she lost to Samantha Stosur in the second round of the Australian Open.

Ivanovic made it to the third round of the French Open, before losing to Anastasia Myskina. She progressed to the fourth round at Wimbledon, but lost to eventual champion and world No. 1 Amélie Mauresmo in straight sets after beating No. 14 seed Dinara Safina.

Ivanovic made her breakthrough in August 2006 by defeating a formerly ranked No. 1 Martina Hingis in the final of the Rogers Cup in Montreal before beating Jelena Janković, No. 14 seed Katarina Srebotnik and top 10 player Dinara Safina. This ultimately led to her winning the United States Open Series, ahead of Kim Clijsters and Maria Sharapova. At the US Open, she lost to Serena Williams.

Ivanovic also played nine tournaments in doubles in 2006, teaming up with Maria Kirilenko and Sania Mirza. Ivanovic and Kirilenko made two semifinals and a final; they ended the year at number 17 in the annual race to the Championships. Ivanovic finished the year ranked world No. 14 in singles and world No. 51 in doubles.

2007: First Grand Slam final and entering the top 10

Ivanovic started the season in Gold Coast and Sydney where she reached quarterfinals.
