97-year-old former Nazi secretary sentenced for involvement in more than 10,000 murders

A 97-year-old former secretary at a Nazi concentration camp has been convicted for her role in the murder of 10,505 people during the Holocaust. In what could be the final trial of its kind, the former Nazi worker was sentenced Tuesday to a two-year suspended sentence, according to a spokesperson at the court in Itzehoe, northern Germany.  Germany has raced to bring the perpetrators of Nazi war crimes to justice in recent years, before the remaining perpetrators die.. Irmgard Furchner worked as a stenographer and typist at the Stutthof camp near Gdansk in Nazi-occupied Poland, from 1943 until the end of the Nazi regime in 1945.  She was an adolescent at the time of the crimes, so the 97-year-old’s trial took place before a juvenile court and her sentence will see her placed into juvenile probation. Furchner went on the run weeks before her trial was due to begin, but was found by police after several hours. Proceedings eventually began late last year. Tens of t...

Belgium named 'underachievers' of 2022 World Cup in Qatar

Image
Sky Sports has rated Belgium low in the just-concluded 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, naming them the underachievers of the tournament.   Belgium, rated second by FIFA in its last world ranking in October, exited the World Cup in the group stage after struggling to keep up with other teams in Group F.   Belgium’s opening match was against Canada, who they defeated 1-0, then they lost 2-0 to Morocco and finally drew 0-0 with Croatia, totalling four points which made them fail to make it through to the round of 16.     Sky Sports analyst, Gary Neville, who was quoted on their Instagram page said, “The manner in which they were eliminated, the communications coming out of the camp didn’t feel right.   “I think Belgium fell out of love with each other, having grown old together things got a bit stale and sometimes things need  breaking up. Things you would never expect were coming out of the camp.”   They wrote, “Belgium...

Royal family reportedly asked hunter to kill fox after it pooed on Prince George's toy

Image
The British Royal family once asked a fox hunter to get rid of a fox that pooed on Prince George’s toys and chased King Charles’ dogs. Britain’s top fox hunter, Bruce Lindsay-Smith, said business is booming as councils have given up trying to control foxes. He disclosed that the royals were once his clients as he was called in to sort out their vermin problem. He said: "They were fouling on little George's garden toys and what have you. "They didn't want the children running around on the grass with fox mess all over it. You can't blame them." Bruce, 63, said he has only had 10 nights off in the past two years and averages five kills per job. The shooter is in high demand as councils no longer have the resources or personnel to tackle the animal. "I don't feel any remorse for shooting a fox," he said. "There are more than ever. When I go to look at people's places they've been wiped out of chickens. I've even been asked to ...
