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.
