Hovsep Avesyan, a 27-year-old white Armenian man, is facing multiple charges for allegedly brandishing a firearm while using ethnic slurs to verbally assault two Muslim women in what is thought to be a road rage incident.

The Delaware County Daily Times reported police responded to a Wawa parking lot in Upper Darby on Nov. 22 after getting a call from a 44-year-old Muslim woman and her 25-year-old daughter.

The women said that a man began yelling ethnic slurs and pulled up his jacket to reveal a firearm as soon as they pulled into the parking lot. "You heard me," the man allegedly said. "Go back to where you belong. Go back to Africa. If you didn't hear me, let me come closer," the man said while walking quickly toward the women with the weapon visible, according to the police affidavit. "F*ck you," he added.

The two victims told officers that they were so terrified that they removed their head veils because the suspect continued to make gestures at them after he walked into the store.

Our only hope! Filipinos working abroad say they're returning to a better Philippines

Ever since Rodrigo Duterte became president of the Philippines in May, Ces, a 32-year-old Filipino domestic worker in Hong Kong, said she feels "very happy to go home."

That's because Duterte has done something to stamp out one of her biggest fears about flying back to Manila: "bullet planting." Airport officials would extort huge bribes from travelers, after surreptitiously inserting bullets in their luggage and then detaining them for illegally carrying live ammunition. One Filipino domestic helper on her way back to her job in Hong Kong fell victim to the trap last year.

"I carried my bag like a baby," Ces, who has worked in Hong Kong for two years after a stint in Kuwait, said of her previous trips home. Last year when she went home she kept pictures of Duterte, then the mayor of Davao City, in her bag so that anyone who opened it would be afraid.

Duterte's bloody crackdown on drugs and insults of former allies have sparked criticism, but his staunch support of the rights of Filipinos working overseas—known as Overseas Filipino Workers, or OFWs—has won him widespread support from the community. They were key to him clinching the presidential election in May, and, interviews with over a dozen workers in Hong Kong show, remain among his most loyal fans.

They're also one of the country's economic engines. Over 10 million Filipinos working abroad send back billions of dollars every year, contributing around 10% of the country's GDP.

Comment: Whether Duterte can deliver on all his ambitious promises remains to be seen, but by aligning with China and Russia, he has already set a course for future economic growth, peace and stability.

The world's tallest waterslide is to be torn down following an investigation into the death of a 10-year-old boy.

Caleb Thomas Schwab, the son of a US politician, suffered a fatal injury on the slide at Kansas City's Schlitterbahn water park in August this year.

An anonymous source told reporters the boy had been 'decapitated' in the incident, which is still being investigated.

The slide, standing at 51.38 metres (168ft 7in), had been officially verified by Guinness World Records as the tallest waterslide in the world. Its name, Verrückt, is German for 'Insane'.

The water park issued a statement on Tuesday saying: "All of us at Schlitterbahn have been heartbroken over the tragedy that occurred on Verrückt.

A loud "explosion" (patlama) that was reportedly heard across the city of Gaziantep in southern Turkey is believed to have been a sonic boom, officials say. The boom was also heard across other parts of Gaziantep province.

The incident happened at about 11:20 p.m. local time on Friday when residents in Gaziantep reported hearing a loud explosion. The blast shook the area and was heard across the city, as well as other parts of Gaziantep province.

A large number of ambulances and other emergency services were dispatched to respond to reports of an explosion, with some reports suggesting that an explosion had taken place in the area of the University of Gaziantep. Nothing was found.

Several hours later, the governor's office said in a statement that the boom is believed to have been caused by a fighter jet that broke the sound barrier. There were no reports of damage or injuries, the governor said, and smoke that was seen in Gaziantep was not caused by the incident.

Nearly 400 children have been rescued and 348 adults arrested following an expansive and "extraordinary" international child pornography investigation, Canadian police announced Thursday.

The three-year project, named Project Spade, began when undercover officers with the Toronto Police Service Child Exploitation service made contact with a Toronto man allegedly sharing "very graphic images" of child sexual abuse in Oct. 2010, Toronto Police Service Chief William Blair said at a press conference on Thursday.

Police said their investigation revealed an entire child movie production and distribution company in Toronto operating via the web site azovfilms.com. The site was run by 42-year old Brian Way, according to police, and sold and distributed images of child exploitation to people across the world.

Comment: #PizzaGate was just the most recent example of pedophiles getting exposed, this incident form 2013 shows us that this is an on-going problem.

An Indonesian woman screamed in agony Monday as she was caned in Aceh, the latest in a growing number of women to be publicly flogged for breaking the province's strict Islamic laws.

Aceh is the only province in the world's most populous Muslim-majority country that imposes sharia law. People can face floggings for a range of offences -- from gambling, to drinking alcohol, to gay sex.

In the latest caning, five people -- two women and three men -- were flogged in front of a cheering crowd at a mosque in the provincial capital Banda Aceh.

The 34-year-old woman who yelled in pain had been found guilty of spending time in close proximity with a man who was not her husband in contravention of Aceh's Islamic regulations.

She was lashed seven times with a rattan cane by a man wearing long robes and a hood, with just slits for the eyes.

A daytime show on Moroccan television has sparked an online petition after staging a detailed live tutorial that showed women at home how to cover up facial bruises from domestic violence. According to international statistics, Morocco is home to some of the world's most disempowered women.

Sabihayat is a studio lifestyle on the popular majority state-owned 2M channel that airs a regular makeup segment, but the one that appeared on November 23 was unusual, despite presenters maintaining their usual chirpy tone.

In the chair sat a woman who bore lurid purple "bruises" on her face. Over the next six minutes, the victim was covered up with foundation and powder brushes, until it was completely invisible.

The controversial segment could have passed into oblivion if the channel had not decided to post it onto its social media feed, where it immediately went viral, sparking indignant shares, and a petition on Change.org that has been signed by more than 1,500 people.
