Paul Conroy Out of Syria, Edith Bouvier Believed Still in Country


LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – The locations of journalists Paul Conroy and Edith Bouvier still remain in dispute. Paul Conroy has been smuggled out of Syria into Lebanon, claims multiple news reports. Another journalist, however, reports that to be false. Edith Bouvier’s location remains in question, while one report claims she too is in Lebanon while another claims she is still in Homs.

First, the location of Paul Conroy remains in dispute today. Multiple news reports published this morning claim that Conroy was safely smuggled by Syrian rebels into Lebanon. The activist group Avaaz says that Conroy is out of Syria.

Rima Fleihan, an LCC spokeswoman, confirms the same. Conroy’s wife says she has “heard” he is out of Syria. But Conroy’s father claims that his wife has spoken directly with Conroy and confirms Paul Conroy is out of Syria.

A Sunday Times correspondent two hours ago however disputed reports. He tweeted “Avaaz is also misinformed about the situation. Repeat Avaaz statement is not true.”

ITN tweeted four hours ago “Journalists Paul Conroy and Edith Bouvier are reportedly ’safe and sound’ in Lebanon after being smuggled out of the Syrian city of Homs.” But while Conroy is believed in Lebanon, Bouvier is believed still in Syria.

A subsequent Sunday Times report claims that Bouvier’s whereabouts are unknown. But the LCC spokeswoman claims that Bouvier is still in Homs. Other news reports claim that Bouvier is still in Syria as well.

Dhegani Mahato, Witch Accusation, Ends in Death


LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – Dhegani Mahato, accused of being a witch, has been burned alive. Dhegani Mahato was a witch, claimed her own family in central Nepal. So on Friday, her own family attacked her, dragged her through the streets of town, and burned her alive. Dhegani Mahato was 40 years old and a mother of two.

The tragedy erupted this week in Bagauda, outside the Nepal capital of Kathmandu, Baral. But now local police are having to explain to international news how a much of an entire city erupted into violence after accusing a local mother of witchcraft.

Prime Minister Baburam Bhattarai is denouncing the conduct today. But Bhattarai tells news that there is a growing problem of long shamans randomly accusing citizens of being witches.

Police Officer Hira Mani Baral tells news that nearly a dozen persons have been arrested for the mother’s tragic death. Baral claims it began when two shamans accused Dhegani Mahato of putting a spell on her relatives to make them sick.

Mahato was beaten, dragged through the streets, and then set on fire in front a crowd of local citizens. Some neighbors tried to save her but were too late. The entire tragedy unfolded in front of Dhegani Mahato’s young children.

Rio de Janeiro Buildings Collapse, Cause Remains Unknown


CORAL GABLES (LALATE) – Three Rio de Janeiro buildings collapsed over night; three people are dead and nineteen are missing. The Rio de Janeiro buildings’ collapse remains under investigation as search and rescue efforts continue. Officials warn news that the death toll could still rise.

The three Rio de Janeiro buildings, all commercial, collapsed Wednesday night. The buildings were twenty, ten, and four story structures. Officials are trying to determine if a gas leak or a structural failure was the cause of the destruction.

The buildings are close to the Municipal Theater and the Rio de Janiero cathedral. They were also near the offices of oil company Petrobras. The buildings were relatively new.

But City Mayor Eduardo Paes tells news that a gas explosion is not the initial perceived cause. Rather he senses a structural problem was at issue.

Witnesses tell news that the collapse wasn’t sudden. They tell news of seeing a “roll” ahead of the collapse that was similar to an earthquake.

Agencia Brasil news agency reports fires erupting after the collapse. Band TV also reports witnesses seeing an earthquake-like shake of the structures before their collapse.

 Col. Mikolaj Przybyl Shoots Himself in Suicide Attempt After News Conference

CORAL GABLES (LALATE) – Col. Mikolaj Przybyl shot himself after a news conference this week. A Col. Mikolaj Przybyl press conference featured the shooting, just outside the video camera’s frame. Przybyl shot himself in the head, but he is in stable condition and expected to recover, claims local news.

Col. Mikolaj Przybyl was holding a live news conference with Polish news on Monday. Col. Mikolaj Przybyl is a polish military prosecutor. He appeared relatively calm during the video. He was discussing the plane crash that killed the country’s president in 2010.

But for reasons still unknown, Przybyl calmly on live TV told news he wanted to break. “I want to ask you to leave for a minute. I need a break.” Przybyl then walked a few feet, and attempted suicide with live cameras still rolling.

News reporters had left the room after Przybyl called his “break” but their cameras were still recording. Przybyl went just inches out of frame, pulled the gun, and shot himself to the head.

“I have never discredited the Republic of Poland and with all firmness I will defend the honor of a Polish army officer and prosecutor” he said before his suicide attempt. Poland Attorney General Andrezej Seremet tells news that he believes the suicide attempt suggests some type of corruption might have been at play. For more, click HERE.

Chinese 30 Story Hotel Built in 15 Days Makes History

Chinese 30 Story Hotel Built in 15 Days Makes History


LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – The Ark Hotel, a Chinese 30-story hotel built in 15 days (video below), has made history. The 30-story hotel was constructed by the Broad Group, a Chinese construction company, in just fifteen days in Changsha near Dongting lake in the Hunan Province. And while the speed in which the hotel was built is making history, the sustainability of its structure is also making news. Chinese news reports claim the Hotel can withstand a 9.0 magnitude earthquake.

The China Academy of Building Research tells news that the structure is not only historic with its completion schedule but also its sustainability. It reportedly is five times more earthquake resistant than other structures. That Academy has tested the structure and confirmed it could survive a 9.0 magnitude quake.

But how did Broad Group build a thirty-story hotel, amounting to one hundred eight-three thousand square feet, in just three hundred sixty hours? They tell news the keys are prefabricated and sections constructed ahead of time (not included in the fifteen day period).

The structure also exceeds normal construction standards. Each room has its own air quality monitoring device for hotel guests. The structure is soundproofed and thermal-insulated. It will also boast energy efficiency better than comparable hotels; the hotel features four-paned windows.

La Redoute Ad Photo Prompts Scandal, Removal

La Redoute Ad Prompts Scandal, Removal

LOS ANGELES (LALATE) – A La Redoute ad photo prompted an unusual scandal and swift removal this week. La Redoute’s advertisement featured an unclothed man in the background as a bunch of four children run in the foreground. The French clothing company had a viral sensation this week after the snafu was revealed online. But some critics question whether it was even a snafu in the first place.

La Redoute’s ad features four children running into the foreground, laughing hysterically. Did the photographer realize why the children were laughingh? And did anyone ask the children if they had just seen something? Behind them, was a completely unclothed man, facing forward.

The middle age French man has been dubbed by British news as “chubby .. with everything on show”. If the man was not part of the campaign, his picture was clearly taken without his authorization, and now published with him unclothed around the world in print advertisements.

The company tells news that it was sorry for the error and that it is deleting the campaign. That is, however, after it became an international media sensation. “La Redoute apologizes for the photo published on its site and is taking steps to remove it. We have opted to delete all the posts including this picture.

“We are aware that it may offend the sensibilities of surfers. We will strengthen the validation process of all brand communications so this cannot happen again in the future.”

But the Daily Mail claims the publication had another snafu just days later. One of its t-shirts on sale was to read “Enjoy Holidays” but actually reads “Enjoy Holydays”.

As to the old man, he has yet to speak to news. But the clothing house says “An internal inquiry has been opened to determine how the error happened.”
