Reggae Artiste Black Uhuru Biography

Reggae Artiste Black Uhuru Biography by InfosysTV The most successful of the second-generation reggae bands, Black Uhuru maintained their high quality despite numerous personnel changes in their 40-plus-year history. The first reggae band to win a Grammy award, for their 1983 album Anthem, Black Uhuru was called "The most dynamic and progressive reggae act of the 1970s and early '80s." The band, whose name comes from the Swahili word meaning "freedom," was formed in the Waterhouse district of Kingston by Don Carlos, Rudolph "Garth" Dennis, and Derrick "Duckie" Simpson.

EU migrant crisis Germany sends migrants back to Austria

EU migrant crisis: Germany sends migrants back to Austria         Germany has been sending an increasing number of migrants back to Austria every day since the beginning of the month, Austrian police say. Many had no valid documents, whilst others did not want to apply for asylum in Germany but in other countries, notably in Scandinavia, police said. New Year's Eve attacks on women in Cologne, blamed on migrants, have put pressure on Chancellor Angela Merkel. Most of those sent back to Austria are not Syrians, who usually get asylum. Instead, they are migrants mostly from Afghanistan as well as Morocco and Algeria, Austrian police said. "The daily number of migrants being turned back has risen from 60 in December to 200 since the start of the year," David Furtner, police spokesman in Upper Austria state, told AFP news agency. Last week, Sweden, a favoured destination for many of the migrants, sought to stem the flow by imposing controls on travel

Playboy mansion for sale - and it comes with Hugh Hefner The Playboy Mansion, site of hundreds of wild parties, is up for sale, but with a catch - it comes with its current owner, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner. Playboy Magazine's parent company put the West Los Angeles estate on the market on Monday for $200m (£138m). The five-acre property has appeared in numerous films and TV shows as a luxurious bachelor pad. As a condition of the sale, Mr Hefner, 89, would be allowed to stay in his home of 45 years. "The Playboy Mansion has been a creative centre for Hef as his residence and workplace... as it will continue to be if the property is sold," Playboy CEO Scott Flanders said in a statement. The mansion has 29 rooms, a wine cellar and a home theatre, but real estate experts say the home would need major upgrades to match current high-end properties in Beverly Hills.

Arab League ministers back Saudi Arabia and condemn Iran  Arab League foreign ministers have condemned recent attacks on Saudi Arabia's diplomatic missions in Iran. A statement at the end of a Cairo emergency meeting to discuss escalating tensions between the two countries accused the Iranian authorities of failing to protect the Saudi embassy. It was set on fire by a crowd angry over the execution of prominent Shia cleric Nimr al-Nimr by Saudi Arabia. Most League members voted in favour of the statement. Exceptions were Lebanon, where the Iranian-backed Hezbollah is hugely influential, and Iran's ally Syria, which is currently suspended from the Arab League. No specific measures against Iran were announced; a committee is being set up to consult over possible future action. Arab League head Nabil al-Arabi accuse

Madaya Syria: Aid convoy reaches besieged town An aid convoy has reached the besieged rebel-held Syrian town of Madaya, bringing vital food and medicines. Distribution will continue through the night to 40,000 people who have been trapped for six months by a government blockade and without aid since October. The UN says it has received credible reports of people dying of starvation. Simultaneously, aid lorries entered two villages besieged by rebel forces in the northern province of Idlib under a deal between the warring parties. The situation in Foah and Kefraya is also said to be extremely dire, with an estimated 20,000 people trapped there since March. The arrival of the aid was delayed until both sets of lorries were ready to enter. Image copyright EPA Image c
