| India arrests main suspect in gang rape-murder Posted: 06 May 2018 06:03 AM PDT  Indian police have arrested the chief suspect in a case of gang rape and murder, in which a girl was burnt to death in front of her family. In another gruesome case that has rocked the country, 18 men are wanted over the death of a 16-year-old girl in the hill state of Jharkhand. The case comes amid public outrage in india over the treatment of women and children in light of several high-profile rape cases, starting with the rape and murder of an eight-year-old girl in Kashmir. In response to protests across the country and calls for stricter laws, the government announced last month that it would be introducing the death penalty for convicted child rapists. Minimum sentencing terms have also been raised and provisos issued that no rape case should take more than two months to prosecute. Sixteen suspects have been arrested in the Jharkhand case, with two more wanted, according to police, at a village in the district of Chatra. "No one involved in the incident will be spared. We will provide security to family members till they feel secure," Shambhu Thakur, Inspector General of Chatra Police, told reporters. Three were arrested on Friday night, while 11 others were held on Saturday, he said, with two more on Sunday. Insp Gen Thajkur added that the arrested include two village council members - Mukhiya Tileshwari Devi and Panchahyat Samiti. Indian relatives mourn following the rape and murder of a 16-year-old girl on May 3, at Raja Kundra Village in Chatra district Senior police and state officials have descended on the village of Rajakendua, 100 miles from the state capital of Ranchi, after the horrific case made national headlines. The girl was allegedly abducted by four young men from near her house and raped, while the rest of the family had gone to attend a wedding party, said police. The incident was raised at the village Panchayat (elders' council) on Friday morning, and the tribal chiefs told the accused to pay Rs 50,000 (£488) to the victim's family as restitution. Enraged over the Panchayat verdict, the four youths allegedly went to the house of the girl, assaulted family members and burnt her to death, say police. Police mobilised into action when the state's Chief Minister, Raghubar Das, tweeted and expressed grief over the incident. Mr Das also assured people that no one involved in the incident would be spared. Action will also be taken against the village leaders for mishandling such a serious matter, police said. The state administration also announced a financial support of Rs 250,000 to the victim's family.

| Man reunites with stolen dog after an email to Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos Posted: 05 May 2018 08:05 AM PDT  Businessman Richard Guttfield came home from work recently to every pet owner's ultimate nightmare. An Amazon delivery driver had stolen Wilma, Guttfield's black miniature schnauzer, after dropping off a bag of dog food at Guttfield's home. Per CNBC, Guttfield had a difficult time getting Amazon to respond about Wilma's plight — that is, until he emailed CEO Jeff Bezos, a man whose sizable muscles are matched only by his love for lost miniature schnauzers. Apparently. After Guttfield emailed Bezos, Amazon assigned someone to track the offending driver. Eventually, their search was successful, and they were able to return Wilma to Guttfield. SEE ALSO: Playful Shiba is a little too excited about new toy Amazon told CNBC that Wilma's dognapper will not be given an opportunity to strike again — at least not during an Amazon delivery. "This is inexcusable and does not reflect the high standards we have for our delivery partners," a spokesperson said. "We take these matters seriously and this individual is no longer delivering Amazon packages for the independent delivery service provider." We assume Jeff Bezos now has a photo of Wilma framed on his desk. WATCH: Dogs are a treasure and this GPS will help ensure you never lose yours

| Spy agency NSA triples collection of U.S. phone records - official report Posted: 05 May 2018 03:34 AM PDT  The U.S. National Security Agency collected 534 million records of phone calls and text messages of Americans last year, more than triple gathered in 2016, a U.S. intelligence agency report released on Friday said. The sharp increase from 151 million occurred during the second full year of a new surveillance system established at the spy agency after U.S. lawmakers passed a law in 2015 that sought to limit its ability to collect such records in bulk. The spike in collection of call records coincided with an increase reported on Friday across other surveillance methods, raising questions from some privacy advocates who are concerned about potential government overreach and intrusion into the lives of U.S. citizens.

| The best Sunday roasts for sunny weekends Posted: 06 May 2018 12:00 AM PDT  We British love our Sunday roasts, but sometimes, when the weather is hot, the traditional dinner can seem stodgy and overwhelming. Thankfully, there are plenty of ingredients that will magically turn a plump chicken or leg of lamb into something light and summery, from a splash of lemon juice to a sprinkling of lavender. These recipes are fresh, light and relatively hassle free, making them even more suited to bunging in the oven so you can go out and enjoy the warm weather (while it lasts). The main event Diana Henry's roast chicken with peaches, honey and lavender Credit: Laura Edwards SERVES Four to six INGREDIENTS 1.8kg chicken, skin-on, jointed into eight, or eight good-sized skin-on, bone-in chicken thighs 3 tbsp olive oil 200ml medium white wine 3 tbsp white balsamic vinegar 4 tbsp lavender honey 5 small, slightly under-ripe peaches 8 sprigs of fresh lavender METHOD Preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5. Heat one tablespoon of the oil in a frying-pan, season the chicken pieces and, in batches, brown them on each side so they get a good colour. Put them into a broad, shallow ovenproof dish large enough to hold the chicken and peaches snugly together in a single layer. Pour the oil out of the pan then return it to the heat and deglaze the pan with the wine, scraping to dislodge all the bits of flavour. Boil until it has reduced to about 100ml, than add one and a half tablespoons each of the balsamic and honey, stirring to dissolve. Pour over the chicken. Halve and pit the peaches and cut each half in two. Dot these around the chicken and season. Brush each piece of peach with a little olive oil, then whisk the remaining honey and balsamic together with a fork. Drizzle over the chicken and peaches and scatter with the lavender (leave some sprigs of lavender whole, use only the flowers from others). Roast for 40 minutes. The chicken should be cooked through and glazed with the honey, and the peaches should be slightly caramelised in patches. If you stick the tip of a sharp knife into the underside of a thigh, the juice that runs out should be clear. Serve in the dish in which the chicken has cooked (you can transfer it all to a warmed platter if you prefer, but be careful as the peaches will be soft and could easily fall apart). Serve with olive-oil-roast potatoes and green beans. Stevie Parle's roast chicken leg with braised lettuce and peas Credit: Andrew Crowley SERVES Four INGREDIENTS 1 onion, thickly sliced into rings 4 chicken legs 200ml/7fl oz white wine or water 40g/1 ½ oz butter 6 spring onions, thickly sliced on the diagonal 2 little gem lettuces, cut in half lengthways 400g/14oz frozen or fresh peas 3 tbsp of crème fraîche or double cream 4 slices of rustic-style bread 1 small garlic clove Olive oil METHOD Preheat the oven to its highest setting, spread out the onion in a small baking tray or dish and sit the chicken legs on top. Season well and top each leg with a small knob of butter. Place in the hot oven and immediately turn it down to 180C/gas 4. Roast for 45 minutes, pouring in the white wine (or water) for the last 15 minutes. Check the juices run clear before removing from the oven. Remove and keep warm to rest. Melt the remaining butter in a saucepan over a medium heat and gently fry the spring onions until softened, about five minutes. Push the onions to one side and add the lettuce to the pan. Fry until it begins to colour, then stir in the peas. Tip the juices from the roast chicken into the pan and add a splash of boiling water. Season with a little salt and pepper, cover with a lid and boil for four or five minutes until the lettuce is tender. Stir in the crème fraîche and check the seasoning. Toast or grill the bread and lightly rub with the garlic clove and drizzle with a little oil. Spoon the lettuce and peas over the toast and serve with the roasted chicken legs. Dhruv Baker's braised shoulder of lamb with ras el hanout SERVES Six to eight INGREDIENTS 2.5kg shoulder of lamb, on bone 2 tbsp ras el hanout 50ml light olive oil 2 large onions, roughly chopped 1 bunch fresh thyme sprigs 5-6 cloves garlic, unpeeled 3 tbsp clear honey For the couscous 350g couscous 1 chicken stock cube 1 small red onion, finely chopped 10-12 cherry tomatoes, quartered 2 tbsp raisins 2 tbsp flaked almonds 2 tbsp freshly chopped flat-leaf parsley 2 tbsp freshly chopped coriander juice of ½ lemon 2 tbsp olive oil METHOD Prick the lamb all over with a skewer or a sharp knife. Mix the ras el hanout, olive oil and some salt and pepper and rub all over the lamb (this is best done the day before to maximise the flavours but a couple of hours before will suffice). Preheat the oven to 140C/gas 1. Place the onions, thyme and garlic in a roasting-tin or ovenproof dish and sit the lamb on top. Cover tightly with foil and put in the oven for four to five hours. Check every hour or so to make sure the onions and garlic are not burning (if they are then reduce the heat slightly). Drain off the fat in the roasting tin every couple of hours. Remove the foil and cook uncovered for the last 45 minutes. Meanwhile, tip the couscous into a large bowl and crumble in the stock cube. Pour over 400ml boiling water, stir quickly and then cover tightly with cling film. Leave for five minutes and then use a fork to fluff up the grains. Stir through the remaining ingredients and then taste and adjust the seasoning. Lift the lamb out on to a clean chopping-board and use two forks to shred the meat off the bone. Pile the couscous into the centre of a large serving dish, arrange the shredded lamb on top and drizzle over the honey.

Put the potatoes into a roasting-tin large enough to hold them in a single layer. Add the rosemary and lemon juice, drizzle with olive oil, season and toss. Roast for about 45 minutes, until the potatoes are tender and golden. Shake the potatoes around a bit while cooking – dark, crusty edges are especially nice. Meanwhile, prepare the dressing. Put the mustard, garlic, balsamic and lemon juice into a small bowl and whisk together with a fork. Season and whisk in the oil followed by the cream. Check for seasoning – it might seem slightly strong but it's going to dress potatoes so needs to balance them. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let them cool for five minutes or so. During this time steam or boil the beans for three to four minutes or until slightly tender but still al dente. Rinse in cold water, drain and gently pat dry with a clean tea towel. Combine the potatoes and green beans with the shallots in a broad, shallow bowl. Drizzle on half the dressing and very gently toss together. Drizzle the rest of the dressing on the top of the salad, and serve immediately.
