A group of fishermen have captured extraordinary footage of the moment they helped free a whale from entangled rubbish after it seemed to seek out their help. Michael Riggio, 17, and Ivan Iskenderian told the local Manly Daily newspaper they were sailing home from a fishing trip when they noticed the animal, thought to be a southern right whale, near Sydney, Australia. The fishermen said the whale, which appeared some way up Middle Harbour just north of the New South Wales city, appeared to be looking for them to do something. While Mr Riggio took photographs, Mr Iskanderian was able to reach out to the whale and remove a large mass of fishing lines and plastic that had got caught on the animal’s face. “It was right on his lip… he seemed like he wanted it off,” Mr Iskenderian said. Another man out on his boat in the same stretch of water, Ron Kovacs, was able to take a video of the moment the rubbish came free.

The clip begins with Caitlyn expressing concern over some 'tough' texts she received from Khloe. Defending herself, Khloe responds: 'Kim [Kardashian] said that you said they were tough and Kim read all of them and she was like "these really weren’t that tough."' 'I just said "We don’t care what you’re doing." Meaning we don’t care if you want to transition. We want to support you and be there for you.'

The Senate and the House of Representatives yesterday approved President Muhammadu Buhari’s request for a World Bank credit facility of $75 million (N14.7 billion) for Edo State.         President Muhammadu Buhari had on Tuesday, 4th August 2015 written to the Speaker of the House, Yakubu Dogara on the need to approve the $75 million loan on behalf of Edo State Government.

He reportedly left home on June 15, and headed for the bush to carry out the dry fast, promising his relatives that he would be back on the  40th  day just like the Son of God but died in the process.

A close relative broke the news to the   online   platform thus: “He was a very spiritual man. It’s unfortunate he had to die this way. We got news of his death a month after he undertook the fasting. He was a healthy and religious old man who did not even look his age.” Manyuka was allegedly   driven   to the ‘wilderness’ by the urge to emulate Christ but sadly, he did not equal or break Christ’s record. ...Culled
