Did you see this?  A man strapped a camera to the back of his Eagle, which flew down from the top of the world’s highest skyscraper in Dubai.

Koala drones?  Yes, Koala drones!

Planeloads of aid from Australian and New Zealand are arriving on Vanuatu for people displaced by “monster” Tropical Cyclone Pam two days ago.  Eight people are confirmed dead, and dozens are injured, and officials warn the numbers may change as rescuers work their way to the most remote of Vanuatu’s 65 inhabited island.  Pam packed gusts more powerful than 300 Kilometers Per hour, which razed homes, smashed boats, washed away roads, and ripped down trees and power lines. 

Around 50 people are dead after a tour bus carrying families to an evangelical Christian event plunged off a winding road over a cliff in Brazil’s southern Santa Catarina state.  It’ll be investigated but there are indications the vehicle’s brakes failed.  The bus was supposed to have been carrying about 50 people, but apparently had more on board.

Police in India detained eight men in the rape of an elderly nun who tried to stop them from robbing her convent.  The faces of the men were clearly caught on CCTV as they ransacked the Convent of Jesus and Mary in Ranaghat, about 50 kilometers northeast of Kolkata, where the 74-year old nun is now being cared for in hospital.  Although police have promised swift and strong action, the crime has sparked two protests:  From women’s groups against the epidemic of rape in India; and from Christians who accuse authorities of failing to protect them in the face of rising Hindu nationalism.

Okay, that’s irony.  Britain unveils a statue of Mohandas K. “Mahatma” Gandhi in Parliament Square in the capital of an empire he helped dismantle;  while India seems to drift further and further from Gandhi’s vision.

At least 14 people were killed in twin bomb blasts targeting two churches in the Christian Youhanabad neighborhood of Lahore, Pakistan.  An offshoot of the Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the attacks near the gates of Saint John’s Catholic Church and Christ Church.  More than 70 people are recovering from various injuries, and an angry mob attacked and killed two men suspected of taking part in the bombings.

Turkey stopped three British teens from traveling to Syria, and instead returned them to the UK where they were arrested.  They are two boys aged 17 from northwest London and a man aged 19, all detained on suspicion of preparing terrorist acts.

Russian president Vladimir Putin says he was ready to put his nuclear forces on alert, if the west intervened with Russia’s annexation of Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula.  That revelation comes from a new propaganda documentary aired on Russia Rossiya-1 network.  Meanwhile, all eyes will be on Saint Petersburg on Monday to see if Putin shows up for a scheduled meeting with his Kyrgyz counterpart.  Putin has not been seen in public since 5 March, and speculation has run from a bad cold to a coup (really?) to visiting his newly born child in hospital.

Sierra Leone is denying that the vice president’s life is in danger.  VP Samuel Sam-Sumana dropped out of sight and requested asylum in the United States, weeks after being expelled from the ruling party for what was described as “his anti-party activities, including fomenting violence”.  The party is denying reports Sam-Sumana’s home has been vandalized.

The Mayor of Lima, Peru has confessed to ordering public murals painted over with the color of his right-wing political party, yellow.  It began on 5 March with a mural of South American hero Tupac Amaru by Colombian painter Gouache replaced by a big yellow wall.  And then one by one, public art fell until late last week when Luis Castaneda Lossio said he ordered the destruction because he had to “recover all the architectural quality” of Lima.  Good job, voters.  Peru’s arts community says Castaneda has invited gang members and graffitists to deface Lima’s once amazing streetscapes.
