Australian girl who was face of iconic Akubra hat commits suicide aged 14 after being bullied online Posted: 10 Jan 2018 03:25 AM PST A 14-year-old girl who was once the face of Akubra– Australia's famous cowboy-style hat – has taken her own life after being harassed online, prompting calls by her family to "stop the bullies". The parents of Amy "Dolly" Everett, who appeared in a popular advertising campaign for Akubra when she was 8, said she was a "caring, beautiful soul" and expressed hope that her death would raise awareness about bullying and harassment. Tick Everett, her father, said in a Facebook post that Amy had taken her life "to escape the evil in this world". He did not reveal details of the bullying but appealed to those responsible to attend a memorial service for her in their home town of Katherine in outback central Australia. "If we can help other precious lives from being lost and the suffering of so many, then Doll's life will not be wasted," he wrote. "If by some chance the people who thought this was a joke and made themselves feel superior by the constant bullying and harassment see this post, please come to our service and witness the complete devastation you have created." Amy's father invited her bullies to attend her funeral to "witness the complete devastation you have created" Akubra, which has been making its trademark wide-rimmed hats for more than a century, released a statement, expressing condolences and denouncing bullying. "This is not an easy post to write," said the statement. "We were shocked and distressed to hear of the passing of "Dolly" - the young girl many of you will recognise from our past Christmas adverts… Bullying of any type is unacceptable. It is up to us to stand up when we see any kind of bullying behaviour." We are shocked and distressed to hear of the passing of "Dolly" - the young girl many of you will recognise from our past Christmas adverts. This beautiful photo was taken 8 years ago. Dolly chose to end her life to escape the bullying she was being subjected to. She was not even 15 years old. To think that anyone could feel so overwhelmed and that suicide was their only option is unfathomable. Bullying of any kind is unacceptable. It is abuse and it is time for us to stand up when we see any kind of bullying behaviour. Dolly could be anyone's daughter, sister, friend. We need to make sure that anyone in crisis knows there is always someone to talk to. Be a friend, check up on your mates. Our hearts go out to Dolly's family and friends. Amy 'Dolly' Everett 1.5.2003-3.1.2018 #stopbullyingnow #doitfordolly #justbekind A post shared by Akubra Hats Official (@akubraofficial) on Jan 9, 2018 at 12:13am PST The statement added: "Dolly could be anyone's daughter, sister, friend... Be a friend, check up on your mates." Dolly's death prompted an outpouring of support from friends, family and well-wishers across the country. Surveys in Australia have found about a quarter of students aged 8 to 14 have reported being bullied. "Dolly, beautiful girl your death has been a tragedy that we didn't foresee but your memory will make changes happen," said a message on Facebook. Numbers to call |
China races to prevent environmental disaster from stricken tanker Posted: 08 Jan 2018 09:58 PM PST China raced to contain oil leaking from an Iranian tanker stricken off its eastern coast Tuesday amid warnings the burning ship could spark an environmental disaster. The Sanchi was carrying 136,000 tonnes of light crude oil when it collided with a cargo ship on Saturday and erupted into flames 160 nautical miles east of Shanghai. If all the cargo from the Panamanian-flagged 274-metre (899-foot) tanker spills, it would be the biggest oil slick from a ship in decades and could kill marine life across a vast area, analysts have said. |

Land Rover 70th anniversary marked by special restoration Posted: 10 Jan 2018 07:17 AM PST When vehicle manufacturers celebrate a major milestone in their history, it's quite common for them to produce anniversary models that pay homage to a vehicle from the company's early days, or to roll out some historic models for an event or photoshoot. Well, Land Rover is going right back to the very beginning to celebrate its 70th anniversary in 2018, by restoring a vehicle that effectively started everything for the British brand. The vehicle being restored is one of three pre-production Land Rovers that were originally shown in 1948 at the Amsterdam Motor Show Launch. |

Turkey urges Russia, Iran to stop Syrian army offensive in Idlib Posted: 10 Jan 2018 04:52 AM PST By Tuvan Gumrukcu ANKARA (Reuters) - Turkey called on Russia and Iran on Wednesday to pressure Syrian authorities to halt a military offensive in Syria's rebel-held Idlib province, which Damascus launched despite an international deal to reduce hostilities there. As pro-government forces pressed the assault, the Russian defense ministry's newspaper said Moscow had asked the Turkish military to tighten control over armed groups in Idlib. Idlib has become a focal point of the Syrian war as government forces and allied militia have thrust toward an insurgent-held air base. |

Netanyahu: Israel helped stop terror attacks on planes in Europe Posted: 09 Jan 2018 10:06 AM PST Israeli intelligence has helped stop terrorists from using civilian aeroplanes in Europe to carry out major attacks "of the worst kind", Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday. The Israeli prime minister told a group of ambassadors from Nato countries that his nation's intelligence agencies had "helped save many European" lives by passing on warnings of jihadist plots. He did not give details of the thwarted attacks but said they "involve civil aviation". "We have, through our intelligence services, provided information that has stopped several dozen major terrorist attacks, many of them in European countries. Some of these could have been mass attacks, of the worst kind that you have experienced on the soil of Europe and even worse, because they involve civil aviation," Mr Netanyahu said. Israel has a formidable intelligence apparatus and Mr Netanyahu often uses his country's intelligence gathering capabilities as a calling card as he tries to improve Israel's diplomatic standing around the world. He speaks often about how countries that were once hostile to the Jewish state now seek out its help in the fields of both intelligence and technology. Jihadist groups remain determined to try to smuggle bombs aboard civilian aircraft, according to assessments by both Western and Israeli intelligence agencies. Perhaps the most dangerous bomb makers are Al-Qaeda's Yemeni affiliate, Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP). The group was behind a failed plot to smuggle bombs into printer cartridges and get them aboard cargo planes in 2010. One bomb was discovered at East Midlands Airport in Leicestershire and another in Dubai. The plot was foiled after Saudi Arabia intelligence chief tipped off the US. A forensic officer removes a package from a UPS container at East Midlands Airport in Castle Donington in 2010 Credit: REUTERS/Darren Staples AQAP was also behind the failed "underpants bombing", when a young Nigerian man named Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab nearly blew up a flight to Detroit on Christmast Day 2009. Mr Netanyahu said that Israel was helping Europe by preventing the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (Isil) from setting up "an alternative territorial base" in the Egyptian Sinai desert following their battlefield defeats in Iraq and Syria. The jihadist group has a presence in the Sinai and has carried out deadly attacks against both Egyptian civilians and security forces. Israel has carried out strikes against the group in Sinai and shared intelligence with Egyptian forces as they battle the jihadists. He told ambassadors that Israel was also working to prevent Iran consolidating its position in Syria. "This is dangerous for you too because the conquest of the Middle East by Iran would eventually effect all of your interests," he said. |

Ford sued by truck owners alleging diesel emissions cheating Posted: 10 Jan 2018 02:06 PM PST By Nick Carey DETROIT (Reuters) - Ford Motor Co installed software that enabled its F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks to cheat at passing federal emissions tests, according to a lawsuit by truck owners filed on Wednesday, a claim the No. 2 U.S. automaker described as "baseless." Ford manipulated the emissions system in violation of federal requirements and the affected trucks released twice the legal limits of emissions during normal driving, the lawsuit claimed. An emission-cheating scandal that came to light in 2015 cost German automaker Volkswagen tens of billions of dollars in settlements and fines. Ford said in a statement that all of its vehicles comply with all U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and California Air Resources Board emissions regulations. |

Divided Supreme Court may allow Ohio voter purge policy Posted: 10 Jan 2018 01:06 PM PST By Andrew Chung WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Conservative U.S. Supreme Court justices were joined by liberal Stephen Breyer on Wednesday in signaling sympathy toward Ohio's policy of purging infrequent voters from registration rolls -- a practice critics say disenfranchises thousands of people -- in a pivotal voting rights case. The nine justices heard about an hour of arguments in Republican-governed Ohio's appeal of a lower court ruling that found that the policy violated a federal law aimed at making it easier for Americans to register to vote. The 1993 National Voter Registration Act bars states from striking registered voters "by reason of the person's failure to vote." Indicating he potentially could join the court's conservatives in a ruling upholding Ohio's policy as lawful, Breyer noted that a state needs tools to clean up its voter rolls by eliminating people who have died or moved. |
