Perkins insists the message is not racist. He just doesn’t like the phrase “Black Friday”, because it is too closely associated with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s blackface scandal.

Two men were arrested in the Netherlands on Monday, accused of preparing to carry out a terrorist attack using at least one car bomb and bomb vests, the Public Prosecution Service (OM) revealed on Tuesday. The suspects were allegedly plotting to carry out an attack in the Netherlands by the end of the year.

Authorities said it was not yet clear what was targeted in the attack. Intelligence agency AIVD first found out about the men because the two "suspects intended to commit a jihadist attack. They wanted to make use of explosives, and to receive training for this purpose," the OM stated.

The men are aged 20 and 34. Both are from Zoetermeer, a Zuid-Holland city just east of The Hague. One of the two was taken into custody on a street in the Hague, while the other was captured at his home.

According to recent reports, 20 people were victims of the earthquake of 6.4 points, which occurred in Albania on Tuesday evening. 325 people are on the missing. Search work continues, and perhaps the number of deaths and injuries may increase.

A Babylonian retelling of Noah and the Ark on a 3,000-year-old clay tablet could be one of the oldest example of #fake_news, a Cambridge academic has claimed. In the engraved scripture, Ea the Babylonian god appears to suggest to Noah that he tell his helpers 'food will rain from the skies' if they help build the ark. However, Dr Martin Worthington, a leading expert on the Babylonian language, claims that the words have a double meaning. Dr Worthington discovered the trickery on the 11th tablet of Gilgamesh, dating back to 700BC, which gives the Babylonian account of the flood. Translated the cuneiform script 'ina lilâti ušaznanakkunūši šamūt kibāti' reads along the lines of 'at dawn there will be kukku cakes', but can equally mean 'at dawn, he will rain down upon you darkness', reports The Telegraph. While another line promises 'he will rain down on you abundance' or less appealingly 'he will rain down on you abundantly'.
