Heartbreaking video of dog who won't leave master's coffin after Italy earthquake
An earthquake killed at least 15 people in northern Italy, damaging buildings and spreading panic among thousands of residents still living in tents after a tremor in the same region destroyed their homes just over a week ago.

The village has been razed to the ground – cars have been crushed by pieces of masonry, houses have crumbled into dust and personal possessions lie scattered amid the debris.
His funeral was held on Friday in Pomezia, the town south of Rome where he lived.
“The two of them were inseparable,” relatives told the Italian media.
The picture was a striking reminder of the bonds between man’s best friend and their owners – a connection epitomised by the story of Greyfriars Bobby, the Victorian dog that held a 14-year vigil at the grave of his master in Edinburgh.
The Skye terrier could not bear to leave his master's body and remained by his grave from 1858 to 1872. His owner was said to be John Gray, a local policeman.
The dog is commemorated in Edinburgh with a life-size statue.

Mr Cossu, originally from Sardinia, was one of dozens of victims who lived in and around Rome but who had come to the mountains for a summer holiday.
Flash will now be looked after by Mr Cossu’s wife, who survived the quake.
Dozens of survivors owe their lives to the police and fire service sniffer dogs who were deployed within hours of the quake striking on Wednesday.
The dogs, among them Labradors and Alsatians, scoured the piles of rubble in search of signs of life underneath, closely watched by their handlers.
A picture of canine devotion, a Cocker Spaniel stands loyally by the coffin of his owner, one of the 290 people killed in Italy’s earthquake.
The dog, called Flash, refused to leave the spot, repeatedly pawing at the casket that held the body of his master.
It was yet another touching image to emerge from a natural disaster that has left so much heartache and grief.
Flash’s owner was Andrea Cossu, 45, who was on holiday in the village of Pescara del Tronto when he was killed by a collapsing building.

In Summary
The Tourism Summit comes at a time when hotels in Mombasa have been busy thanks to domestic tourism bolstered by school holidays and the Mombasa International Show which begins on Wednesday.
Due to the large number of locals, hotel occupancy in Mombasa is averaging at 80 per cent, Diani in Kwale County at 60 per cent, Watamu in Kilifi County at 40 per cent and Malindi at 30 per cent.
The international tourist drought in the region has been attributed to few charter flights of eight a week at Moi International Airport, Mombasa, compared with 40 a week in 2011.
President Uhuru Kenyatta is expected to host a Tourism Summit at State House, Mombasa, on Wednesday morning. This month, the Head of State has held Summits at State House, Nairobi, including Transport and Infrastructure Summit and Agriculture Summit. The Tourism Summit comes at a time when hotels in Mombasa have been busy thanks to domestic tourism bolstered by school holidays and the Mombasa International Show which begins on Wednesday. Due to the large number of locals, hotel occupancy in Mombasa is averaging at 80 per cent, Diani in Kwale County at 60 per cent, Watamu in Kilifi County at 40 per cent and Malindi at 30 per cent. But the number of local tourists is expected to plummet in the region as schools countrywide reopen on Monday. On the other hand, although it’s high tourist season, international guest occupancy in hotels is averaging at below 10 per cent compared with 20 and 50 per cent during the peak period in 2011. The international tourist drought in the region has been attributed to few charter flights of eight a week at Moi International Airport, Mombasa, compared with 40 a week in 2011. Despite the few charter flights from Europe to Mombasa, the bulk of the tourists, who arrive at Moi Airport are in transit to Zanzibar. Hoteliers and tour operators from across the region expect the Head of State to address the challenges plaguing the sector. On Sunday, Kenya Association of Hotelkeepers and Caterers (KAHC) Kilifi County branch chairman Philip Chai said he wants the President to address the thorny issue of open skies policy at Moi Airport. The hotelier said following the sharp drop in charter flights, there is need for the government to allow more international airlines to operate scheduled flights to Mombasa. Currently, only German leisure airline Condor, Small Planet from Poland, Meridiana Fly and Neosair from Italy operate charter flights to Mombasa. “The reason why tourism is on its knees in Malindi is because there are very few charter flights from Italy to Mombasa,” he said. The KAHC official said he does not understand why the government was not allowing more international airlines to operate scheduled flights to Mombasa. At the moment, Turkish Airlines is the only carrier from Europe which operates scheduled flights from Istanbul to Mombasa and two regional airlines Ethiopian Airlines and RwandAir. Mr Chai also wants the President to intervene over the slow progress in expansion of the Malindi airport. “We want the Malindi airport to be expanded so that it can handle direct flights from Europe to Mombasa to boost international tourist arrivals,” he said. KAHC Coast executive officer Sam Ikwaye, said he expects the Head of State to address the challenges hotel-owners face in accessing duty exemption on importation of building materials. “Although the government exempted duty on importation of materials to enable hoteliers to renovate their establishments they are unable to benefit from the incentive due to red-tape,” he said. COLLEGE CONTROVERSY Mr Ikwaye added that he wants the President to address the controversy surrounding the construction of the Ronald Ngala Utalii College. He said the implementation of the college has been politicized yet it could help address the challenges of lack of training opportunities in the region. “If there are officials who were involved in corruption let them face the law but let the construction of the college go ahead to completion,” he added. Kenya Association of Tour Operators Coast branch chairperson Monika Solanki, welcomed the President’s move to host a Tourism Summit at State House, Mombasa. “Things are not going on well at the Coast as the number of international visitors is very low. We hope the Summit will come up with ways of uplifting tourism in the region,” she said. In Diani, Swahili Beach Resort general manager Jeff Mukolwe, said he expects the President to fast track the expansion of Ukunda Air Strip. He added that although the government pledged to expand the air strip, the project seems to have stagnated. “Currently, only small planes can land at the Ukunda air strip. We want it to be expanded so that it can handle bigger planes for tourist arrivals to improve,” he said. He also wants the Kenya Tourism Board to prioritise marketing on the African continent rather than Europe due to low number of tourists coming to Mombasa from the Western countries. Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort general manager Raj Jadhav said the hotel was busy owing to locals and conferences. However, he noted that international guest numbers were at four per cent and called on the marketing agency to do more marketing in overseas markets to woo more holidaymakers to come to Mombasa.

Former President Mwai Kibaki will spend at least one more week at a South African hospital. He is set for a medical review on Monday. This comes after he underwent a successful surgery to remove a clot in an artery in his neck. Speaking to the Nation in confidence, a source privy to the former president’s health status said that he was recovering well and was even eating. Mr Kibaki spent one week at the Netcare Sunninghill Hospital in Johannesburg, with only his family allowed to visit him. “His family is renting a lodge opposite the hospital for easy access to the hospital,” said the source. Mr Kibaki underwent surgery after doctors located the clot in good time while it was in a relatively safe part of his body. He was flown out of Nairobi last weekend after falling ill while at his Muthaiga home on Saturday and was rushed to Karen Hospital. The decision to fly him out was reached after doctors at the Karen Hospital determined that he needed specialised treatment. Dr Harun Otieno, an interventional cardiologist at the Aga Khan University Hospital in Nairobi explained that although blood clots are the body’s natural mechanism to stop bleeding, it can be dangerous especially if the clot gets into organs such as the brain, heart and the lungs, leading to either heart attacks or strokes. “Blood clots can occur either in the veins, which take blood to the heart or the arteries which take blood away from the heart,” said Dr Otieno.
POLISI Kanda ya Dar es Salaam imekituhumu Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (Chadema) kuwalipa fedha kiasi cha Sh 40,000 baadhi ya vijana ili washiriki katika maandamano ya Ukuta ya Septemba Mosi yaliyopigwa marufuku.
Aidha, imesisitiza imejipanga kikamilifu kukabiliana na watu watakaovunja sheria kwa kufanya maandamano hayo ambayo yamepigwa marufuku kwa lengo la kutaka kuvuruga amani ya nchi.
Kauli hiyo ilitolewa jana na Kamanda wa Kanda hiyo, Simon Sirro wakati akizungumza jijini Dar es Salaam ambapo alisema, kwa sasa jiji hilo liko shwari na hata baada ya Septemba Mosi, litaendelea kuwa shwari.
“Naomba niwasihi Wana Dar es Salaam hasa vijana wasiingie barabarani hiyo tarehe moja, tuwaachie wachache ambao nia yao ni kuleta fujo, wote tunajua madhara ya fujo, wote tunajua hasara ya fujo, siku hiyo imetolewa katazo hakuna maandamano,” alisema Sirro.
Alisema kwa taarifa za intelijensia walizonazo zinaonesha kuna watu wanapewa fedha kwa ajili ya kuandamana na kufanya fujo, ambapo alitoa rai kwa wazalendo wa nchi wasiopenda kupambana na Jeshi la Polisi ambalo linawalinda wao na mali zao wasithubutu kuingia barabarani.
Akizungumzia tuhuma hizo, Katibu Mkuu wa Chadema, Dk Vincent Mashinji alisema, chama hicho hakina fedha za kuwalipa vijana ili kufanya maandamano na kusisitiza; “Tukutane tarehe moja Septemba.”
Julai 27, mwaka huu Chadema ilizindua operesheni iliyopewa jina la Ukuta ikiwa na lengo la kupambana na kile ilichokiita udikteta nchini, huku ikitangaza kushirikiana na wale watakaoona umuhimu wa kuwepo kwa haki na demokrasia nchini.

By Sami Mokbel for The Mail on Sunday
You spend £50million only to discover the answer's staring you square in the face.
Arsenal will complete the captures of Shkodran Mustafi and Lucas Perez well before Wednesday's transfer deadline; swoops that will, for now, appease supporters aghast at the club's lack of spending this summer.
But, on his return to the starting XI, Mesut Ozil won this match for the Gunners.

Goals: Cazorla 9 (pen), Sanchez 40, Ozil 45
Manager: Arsene Wenger 7.5
Man of the Match:Mesut Ozil
Referee:Kevin Friend 6.5
Move for Alexis Sanchez's goal to double Arsenal's lead
Having returned back to training just a week before the season due to his Euro 2016 exploits with Germany, manager Arsene Wenger has resisted the temptation to start with his midfield magician.
He could resist no longer here at Vicarage Road and the result: Arsenal's first three points of the season. Coincidence? No chance.
This team ticks when Ozil's plays. Arsenal are good without him; but not quite the same.
Ozil's return saw Francis Coquelin drop out from the side that started last weekend's draw against Leicester.
Wenger's opposite number, Walter Mazzarri, handed Younes Kaboul and Christian Kabasele their Premier League debuts for the Hornets.
Debuts to forget, mind you, Arsenal running riot in the first half.
It took eight minutes for Ozil to make an tangible impact on this routine win for the Gunners; his inch-perfect floated pass into Alexis Sanchez forcing Nordin Amrabat into a reckless challenge on the Chilean.
Watford were perplexed by referee Kevin Friend's decision to point to the spot, the confusion would have waned once they watched replays of the incident – Amrabat catching Sanchez with an elbow as he jumped into the Arsenal forward.
Brainless. And the challenge got what it deserved as Santi Cazorla drilled the penalty past Heurelho Gomes to give Arsenal the lead.
In fairness to Watford they responded well. Petr Cech spared the blushes of team-mate Laurent Koscielny, who directed Amrabat's cross towards his own net in the 25th minute before Troy Deeney stabbed wide moments later as Arsenal failed to clear the danger.

Odion Ighalo and Etienne Capoue both passed up opportunities to shoot with decent sights of goal, instead choosing to pass before Kabasele headed narrowly wide in the 35th minute.
But these were mere flashes of respite for the Hornets. Arsenal were cruising.
And when they shifted through the gears, Wenger's side were untouchable – particularly Ozil and his sidekick Sanchez.
Following a mesmeric run through Watford's defence, Sanchez exchanged passes with Ozil but couldn't locate a team-mate with the final pass.
Next time, though, Sanchez wasn't quite as wasteful as he extended Arsenal's lead in the 40th minute, tapping home Theo Walcott's cross at the back post.
And just minutes later, Arsenal's advantage had got even bigger thanks to Mesut Ozil's strike

Sebastian Prodl made a gallant effort at a goalline clearance – but Sanchez's finish had clearly crossed the line.
Walcott then forced Gomes into a save just moments before the break following the impressive Granit Xhaka's raking pass.
Watford would have been happy to go in 2-0 down at that stage; Arsenal were purring. No such luck though as Ozil nodded home his side's third after Sanchez's quite brilliant cross on the strike of half-time.
Watford's miserable afternoon nearly compounded nine minutes into the second half; Hector Bellerin tormenting Kaboul down the right before firing a low cross across the face of goal that no Arsenal player could manage to get a decisive foot on.
Another goal would have represented the end game for Watford but instead they were back in it moments later.

Roberto Pereyra, a summer arrival from Juventus, and Daryl Janmaat, who signed last week from Newcastle, were both handed their Watford debuts as early second half substitutes; Mazzarri shuffling his pack in an attempt to get back into the game.
It worked a treat as his substitutes combined to give Watford hope; Pereyra cooly slotting home after Koscielny failed to deal with Janmaat's cross.
Watford sensed a dramatic comeback. The danger, of course, was getting caught on the counter.
Had Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain played a square pass into the path of Walcott or Sanchez instead of trying to score with a delicate chip then Arsenal would almost certainly have their fourth after a run full of pace and power from Bellerin.
The Gunners had Cech to thank for keeping their two goal cushion in tact in the 69th minute, the keeper denying Jose Holebas' long range effort before saving Ighalo from the rebound.

Wenger had seen enough; bringing off Ozil and Oxlade-Chamberlain in place of Jack Wilshere and Mohamed Elneny as he looked to stem Watford's attacks.
They kept coming, though, this time Ighalo firing narrowly over the bar with an acrobatic overhead kick after Arsenal failed to clear Holebas' long-throw.
Cech then denied substitute Issac Success with a header in the 78th minute as the pressure continued to build on Arsenal's back-four before Valon Behrami fired wide from the edge of the box.
Eventually, Watford's rally run out of puff as the Gunners sauntered home.
Mustafi and Perez will be welcome additions to the Arsenal squad this season but make no mistake, there's still only one king of the Emirates.
