A 61-year-old doctor, Hamid Reza Mirshojae, was tragically assassinated in front of his clinic when a gunman ran up from behind and shot him as he approached his car.

The incident occurred last Friday at around 5:30 PM in the parking lot of Warner Plaza Urgent Care on Topanga Canyon Boulevard in Los Angeles. 

Surveillance footage released online shows the moment when Hamid was walking toward his Lexus, parked outside the clinic, when the gunman suddenly appeared from the entrance and shot him.

His staff revealed that this tragic event happened just a few months after Hamid was ambushed and beaten by three men with baseball bats outside the same clinic.

A woman who was declared brain dead has spoken to her family for the first time since being admitted to the hospital. 

Emma Price, who was induced into a coma due to an overdose on painkillers, reportedly took the drastic step after suffering from bullying.

According to Emma’s family, they were initially shocked when doctors informed them that she was paralyzed on one side and that tests showed no signs of brain activity. Despite the grim prognosis, Emma has defied expectations by regaining consciousness and beginning her recovery.

Her brother, Thomas, shared her story online to raise funds for her medical expenses. Speaking to WhatsTheJam, he said: “She is now conscious and had her first meal today. She is also out of critical care,” Thomas explained.

“When she first went into the hospital, the doctors said she had no brain activity when they did an MRI scan. We were also told she was fully paralyzed on her right side, but she is now moving her arm and leg.”

Thomas continued to describe the challenges ahead for Emma, who is now able to speak but still suffers from brain damage. She will need to relearn many everyday activities.

“We have no time frame for when she will be out,” he said. “She needs to learn how to walk again and be able to stand on her own. The medics are trying to get her to eat proper meals as well. It could still be weeks until she is home. But she will never be the same Emma we all knew. It’s going to be a really long road ahead for her recovery.”

Despite the severity of the situation, Emma’s family experienced a moment of relief when they spoke to her on the phone for the first time since her ordeal began.

“We phoned the hospital, and the staff put her on the phone to us, and she said, ‘hi,’” her dad, david recounted. “It’s a relief that she is conscious again. But I’m sorry to say she has got brain damage now. Though she is very strong.”

A 50-year-old American woman who had been missing for a long time was found in India, tied to a tree in a forest for 40 days.

The woman, identified as Lalita Kayi Kumar, was discovered in a severely weakened state and unable to speak when rescuers found her in the Sindhudurg district, which is about 290 miles from Mumbai.

When she was taken to the hospital, Lalita revealed through a note that her husband had tied her to a tree in the forest with the intention of leaving her to die.

“Husband tied me to a tree in a forest and said I would die there,” she wrote in the letter.

Lalita has begun receiving treatment and was given an injection for extreme psychosis, which caused a severe case of lockjaw that left her unable to drink water.

Her rescue came when a shepherd heard her cries for help and alerted the police.

According to The Indian Express, a case of attempted murder has been filed against her ex-husband, who is currently on the run from the police.

“The woman is weak as she has not eaten anything for a couple of days, especially since the area experienced heavy rains. We don’t know how long she was tied to that tree. We believe her husband, who hails from Tamil Nadu, tied her there and fled,” a Maharashtra police official said

President Joe Biden has officially stepped down from the U.S. presidential race. The 81-year-old Democrat made the announcement today.

His statement reads below……

“My Fellow Americans,

Over the past three and a half years, we have made great progress as a Nation.

Today, America has the strongest economy in the world. We’ve made historic investments in rebuilding our Nation, in lowering prescription drug costs for seniors, and in expanding affordable health care to a record number of Americans. We’ve provided critically needed care to a million veterans exposed to toxic substances. Passed the first gun safety law in 30 years.

Appointed the first African American woman to the Supreme Court. And passed the most significant climate legislation in the history of the world. America has never been better positioned to lead than we are today.

I know none of this could have been done without you, the American people. Together, we overcame a once in a century pandemic and the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression. We’ve protected and preserved our Democracy. And we’ve revitalized and strengthened our alliances around the world.

It has been the greatest honor of my life to serve as your President. And while it has been my intention to seek reelection, I believe it is in the best interest of my party and the country for me to stand down and to focus solely on fulfilling my duties as President for the remainder of my

I will speak to the Nation later this week in more detail about my decision.

For now, let me express my deepest gratitude to all those who have worked so hard to see me reelected. I want to thank Vice President Kamala Harris for being an extraordinary partner in all this work. And let me express my heartfelt appreciation to the American people for the faith and trust you have placed in me.

I believe today what I always have: that there is nothing America can’t do – when we do it together. We just have to remember we are the United States of America.”

President Bola Ahmed Tinubu acknowledged the poverty and suffering faced by Nigerians, emphasizing that these challenges nigerians are not the only ones facing it.

Speaking in Lagos on June 17, during a visit from a National Assembly delegation for Eid-el-Kabir, Tinubu stressed the need to tackle these issues head-on. 

The statement was made through his Special Adviser on Media and Publicity, Ajuri Ngelale.

“Yes, there is poverty; there is suffering in the land. We are not the only people facing such, but we must face our challenges. We must find a way to eliminate banditry and terrorism so that farmers can bring out food from the farmland. If you do not have good roads to bring the food to the population, even if you grow the food and you are losing 60-70 per cent to damages, you will pay the price.

“The need (for some citizens) to change the rent-seeking mindset and become more productive to the economy is a challenge. The need to stop smuggling and all economic sabotage. Why should we have people removing rail tracks and all that, stealing electric cables and sabotaging the economy?

“We must embrace the campaign to change our value system. We must tell our people that the challenge we face is for all of us to change our mindset about our country” the President said

Paying tribute to him, his mother Leisa said:”He’s probably had about eight lives and I thought the doctors would be able to save him again, but sadly it wasn’t possible.”

“He was put on kidney dialysis and an IV drip but his kidneys weren’t working. The doctor told Jason he’d pass away within a week as his organs were failing.

“Jason soon started to go downhill.”

Before his passing, Jason began overeating as a teenager following the death of his father. 

This made him the heaviest man in Britain. He attained this title in 2015 after the previous record-holder, 65-stone Carl Thompson, passed away the same year.
