Gaelle Dule Asheri, 17, a soccer player, who is amongst the first wave of girls being trained by professional coaches at the Rails Foot Academy, plays football with her friends outside her house in Yaounde, Cameroon. Asheri never gave up her dream despite strong opposition from her mother who feared she would lose her daughter to a 'men's game'. "I used to train with boys, so with boys there were some exercises I was not allowed to do because I am a girl," she said. When she first started playing soccer in the dirt streets near her home, she was the only girl on the informal neighborhood teams. "I picked up the ball, I kicked it and I never looked back," Asheri said, recalling the childhood street soccer games with her male cousins and neighbors.

President Donald Trump showed Democratic congressional leaders the back of his hand on Wednesday, ending a planned meeting on infrastructure legislation after just three minutes, then storming out to the Rose Garden to vent publicly instead about their vows to investigate and possibly impeach him. The White House showdown in the Cabinet Room came at what had been supposed to be a summit with Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and other top Democrats to hammer out how to pay for a $2 trillion infrastructure package. But Pelosi had accused him hours earlier of presiding over a 'cover-up' after holding a meeting with her caucus, some of whom are pushing aggressively to impeach the president - prompting Trump's walk-out. He told reporters gathered in the Rose Garden 'I don't do cover-ups.' Pelosi responded at her own press conference: 'I pray for the President of the United States and I pray for the United States of America.'

The DUI suspect who launched wild police chase in stolen RV on Tuesday has been identified as Julie Ann Rainbird, 52, of Winnetka. Simi Valley police say the RV was purchased using a stolen identity in Downey, California. An LA woman reported her identity was stolen on April 30, which led police to the Santa Clarita lot where Rainbird was found in the RV. After cops approached the camper around 7pm on Tuesday, Rainbird sped away, smashing into at least six cars and a palm tree before coming to halt and running on foot. Rainbird was booked into jail on $100,000 bail for possible evasion, hit-and-run and assault charges. She was previously convicted of identity theft in January 2015.๐ฎ๐ปโโ๏ธ

Human beings are yet to land on Mars but they'll soon to leave their mark on it after NASA offered the public an opportunity to send their names to the Red Planet. Names will be delivered, stencilled on chips, via NASA's Mars 2020 rover and people will receive their own souvenir boarding pass and 'frequent flyer' points. The rover, a robotic scientist weighing more than 2,300 pounds (1,000 kilograms), is scheduled to launch as early as July 2020 and land on Mars in February 2021. It will search for signs of past microbial life, characterise the planet's climate and geology, collect samples for future return to Earth, and pave the way for human exploration of the Red Planet.
