In this weekend’s German election, for the first time since World War II, a far right party looks likely to take seats in the German parliament. Founded in April 2013, the extreme right euro-sceptic Alternative for Germany (AfD) party has become a populist anti-immigrant nationalist party in recent years. Despite links to Austria’s far-right Freedom Party, the AfD performed well in state elections last year in Germany, and caused shockwaves when they beat Angela Merkel’s centre-right CDU in her home...

This shocking video shows a marine rescue team wrestling with - a Great White Shark. The animal had beach-bums terrified after it washed up on Manly Beach in Sydney, Australia, the day before. The 1.8 metre-long shark - nicknamed Fluffy - ended up at the popular tourist spot last Monday (4/11) afternoon after becoming injured.

A bishop is 'waging holy war' against Muslims and lefties who want to wrest control of a cathedral away from the Catholic Church - who stole it from the Moors 800 years ago. The bitter row has broken out over the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba in Andalusia, southern Spain. The consecrated site is believed to have originally been a Christian church dedicated to Saint Vincent the third. The city was seized in 711 by a Moorish army, and it became a...

In a week of incredible soap opera antics at the White House, you may have missed the barely reported testimony of a businessman named William Browder to the US Senate Judiciary Hearing on Russian meddling in the US election. Whether Donald Trump’s weird tweets, weirder attack on transexuals in the armed forces and Anthony Scaramucci’s spectacularly bizarre ill-fated eight days as White House Communications Director can be put down to stupidity or conspiracy to deflect from some of the most...

The early Greeks - creators of Europe's first advanced civilisations - descended from migrants from modern day Turkey, reveals new research. An analysis of ancient DNA has revealed that Ancient Minoans and Mycenaens were genetically similar - with both peoples descending from early Neolithic farmers. Researchers say they likely migrated from Anatolia to Greece and Crete thousands of years before the Bronze Age. Modern Greeks, in turn, are largely descendants of the Mycenaeans, the study found. The researchers analysed tooth...
