War in the Air: Breathtaking photographs reveal the key role aerial battles played in WWII in vibrant technicolour!
A new book, curated by the British Imperial War Museums, features photographs of aircrafts and pilots from a number of Allied nations as they soar through blue skies or prepare to take off. The Second World War in Colour also reveals the extra ordinary lives of those who flew the planes in pictures. Among the images are memories of night bombing raids over Germany, arduous desert warfare, training and even squadron celebrations.

The ten-tonne marine mammal (pictured) was discovered in the middle of the undergrowth on the island of Marajo off the Araruna Beach, Brazil, at the mouth of the Amazon River. Scientists believe the creature died at sea and may have landed in the wooded area after rough seas and high tides threw it inland, far from the ocean. A team from Semma went to the region to inspect the remains (top and bottom right), believed to be a 12-month old calf, and to gather information which could help to explain how the aquatic creature crash landed in the jungle. Video taken at the time shows the mammal splayed out in swampy mangrove surrounded by trees, with no visible signs of injury. Biologists from the Bicho D'agua Institute have been called in to collect forensic samples to determine the cause of death. They believe the massive animal, which measures six feet wide, was already dead when it was carried by huge waves to its unnatural resting place. 😳🐳

The female cub was hit by a speeding vehicle near Igatpuri, a village in western India earlier this month. The critically injured animal was rescued by the local Forest Department and later transferred to the Manikdoh Leopard Rescue Center, run by Wildlife SOS in Junnar, near Pune. After the accident left the young cub paralyzed, her chances of recovery appeared bleak. X-rays revealed spinal injuries which had caused complete limb paralysis. But as the leopard was young, her vets felt that with proper treatment she would be able to walk again. The leopard was ready to surprise the experts with her sheer determination to get back on her feet again too.☺️

100-vehicle pileup on icy highway kills one person and injures several others.
Strong gale-force winds and blizzard conditions shut down large stretches of heavily traveled highways across the state Sunday, including I-41 where one motorist was killed and several others injured in a chain-reaction pileup involving as many as 100 vehicles.
Authorities were telling people to stay off the roads in a wide swath across the top third of the state because travel was practically impossible. Whiteout conditions, ice-covered roads and multiple crashes caused highways like I-43 to shut down, according to the Sheriff's Department. 😱❄️☃️

Kim Jong Un crossed into Vietnam on Tuesday after a 2,800 mile train journey ahead of his second historic showdown with President Trump. His bulletproof olive green train pulled into the Vietnamese station of Dong Dang following a two-and-a-half-day secrecy-shrouded odyssey from Pyongyang. Schoolchildren waving North Korean flags and a military guard of honor greeted Kim as he stepped onto the platform, draped in a red carpet.

'This can lead to WAR'
New Delhi said jets had pounded a 'terror camp' in Pakistani territory belonging to Jaish-e-Mohammad, which claimed a recent suicide bombing that killed dozens of troops in Indian Kashmir. A government source claimed 300 fighters had been killed - but Pakistan denied there had been casualties, saying only that jets had crossed into its airspace over the ceasefire line in the Himalayan region and dropped payloads. This morning, Pakistan President Arif Alvi warned India had created 'hysteria' in the wake of the suicide attack on February 14. Alvi warned that rhetoric 'can lead to war', but did not address the overnight incursion by India's jets. Footage has emerged purportedly showing the Indian jets (left) while pictures show bomb damage (top right and inset).😱🔥
