By 811 0

German police are investigating a leopard attack on a model who was severely injured during a photo shoot.

The spotlight is on the 48-year-old owner of the leopard involved in the attack, one of two she keeps at a farm in Nebra, eastern Germany, alongside other animals. During Tuesday’s attack, the 36-year-old model suffered brain injuries and was flown to a specialty centre by helicopter. The owner of the animal was being investigated for negligent bodily damage.

On Wednesday, a public health officer went to the complex to see if the animals were being cared for properly and if the facility was up to code. The animal handler has owned the leopards since 2019 and has worked as an animal trainer for circuses and amusement parks for 20 years.

By 743 0

Facebook, the parent company of Instagram, has lifted a prohibition on a poster for Spanish director Pedro Almodovar’s latest film, which depicts a nipple producing a drop of milk.

The platform “should be ashamed” for its “censorship,” according to Javier Jaen, who designed the Madres Paralelas (Parallel Mothers) commercial. The social media business has since apologised for the poster’s removal. Because of the “clear artistic context,” Facebook issued an exemption to its customary rule on nudity.

Penelope Cruz plays one of two women whose paths intersect at a hospital as they prepare to give birth in the film, which will premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 1st.

By 803 0

Shanne Braspennincx, a Dutch keirin rider, earned Olympic gold six years after suffering a heart attack and not knowing if she would ever participate again. Braspennincx, 30, finished ahead of Ellesse Andrews of New Zealand and Lauriane Genest of Canada.

After watching teammate Laurine van Riessen taken to the hospital after colliding with Team GB hopeful Katy Marchant, she regained her composure. Braspennincx’s career was in jeopardy five years ago when she missed the Rio Olympics.

She thought her career was ended when she became unwell in Colorado in 2015, requiring surgery to widen a blocked artery and the placement of a stent. “I assumed I’d have to retire,” Braspennincx said. “A heart attack isn’t something you experience when you’re an athlete.”

Russian LGBT Family Flees to Spain After Threats

By 784 0

After receiving online hatred and death threats, a Russian lesbian family who appeared in a contentious health food ad has left the country. Yuma, the mother, wrote on Instagram that “we’re safe, we’re relaxing.”

After starring in an ad for grocery chain VkusVill, the family became the victim of a hate campaign. Later, the company issued an apology and replaced the photo with one of a heterosexual family. A law passed in Russia in 2013 prohibits the promotion of LGBT beliefs and lifestyles to children, which has been extensively denounced in the West.

Many followers of President Vladimir Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church associate LGBT+ activists with Western liberal principles, which are considered incompatible with Russian culture.

Pope Francis has left the hospital in Rome after having had his intestinal surgery 10 days ago. The pontiff, who is 84 years old, was released at 10:30 a.m. local time (4:30 a.m. ET) from Gemelli Polytechnic hospital.

On his way home to Casa Santa Maria in Vatican City, he stopped to pray at the Basilica of Saint Mary Major, Holy See spokesman Matteo Bruni said in the statement. “He expressed his gratitude for the success of his surgery and offered a prayer for all the sick, especially those he had met during his stay in the hospital,” said Bruni in the statement.

Francis had surgery for a severe narrowing of his large intestine on July 4, his first major surgery since he became pope in 2013. The Vatican said it was a planned procedure though it didn’t release any details before he was admitted to the hospital. The surgery was scheduled for early July when his audiences are usually suspended and he would normally take some time off.
