Macedonia says it will not allow any migrants to travel through its borders from Greece, after hundreds of thousands of refugees hiked through over the past year to claim asylum in northern European countries.  Slovenia already barred access to migrants, with Prime Minister Miro Cerar declaring that "the Balkan route for illegal migration no longer exists"; Croatia and Serbia said they will follow suit.  This strands 13,000 would-be asylum seekers stranded at the border in Greece, not to mention those still arriving from Turkey every day.

Poland is heading into a constitutional crisis:  The top legislative court has ruled that many of the changes the new conservative government has made are unconstitutional; the the Law and Justice party (PiS) government says it will not heed the Constitutional Court.  The PiS government is already coming under increased scrutiny from the European Commission and the United States.  Domestic opponents have staged large protests against its authoritarian manner almost weekly. 

Islamic State allegedly fired shells with some sort of chemical agent into a village in northern Iraq, and more than 40 people complaints of breathing problems and burning skin.  This happened in Taza, a Shiite Turkmen village 20 kilometers south of Kirkuk.  "There were poisonous substances in these shells, said Kirkuk province governor Najmuddin Kareem, "We don't know what."  Mr. Kareen says Islamic State is deliberately trying to invoke memories of the horrors inflicted by Saddam Hussein in in the same region in 1988.

US Special Forces captured a chemical weapons expert for Islamic State and is interrogating him.  Sleiman Daoud al-Afari reportedly was once a specialist in chemical and biological weapons for Saddam Hussein.  He's already given up information about IS's use of mustard gas.  The Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) accuses Islamic state of using sulfur mustard in an attack on Kurdish forces in Iraq blamed on IS.

An illegal five-storey building under construction in Nigeria collapsed, killing at least 30 people.  This happened in the south commercial metropolis Lagos.  The owner and developer added extra storeys to the design, despite having approval only for a two storey building.  Witnesses rain fell on the site and the building shifted, but work continued anyway.  The death toll was compounded because workers and their families were actually living on the site.

The US aquatic theme park SeaWorld says its Orca named Tilikum, whose reaction to years of poor treatment were the subject of the stunning documentary "Blackfish", is in poor health and on the decline.  "Tilikum's behavior has become increasingly lethargic and the SeaWorld veterinary and animal care teams are concerned that his health is beginning to deteriorate," SeaWorld said on its blog.  The Orca is about 35 years old, which is pretty old for so-called "killer whales".  Animal Rights activists believe that there is much more to the story of Tilicum's poor health than SeaWorld is letting on:  "When SeaWorld feels that it must make a statement about Tilly's ill health, PETA bets that it's anticipating someone is about to blow the whistle about his illness, or reveal that he's dying and that the people who have exploited him to line their pockets all these years know that," said Ingrid Newkirk of the Animal Rights group PETA.

A Florida woman and certified gun nut is recovering after a visit from Karma.  31-year old Jamie Gilt was shot in the midsection by her four year old son, apparently after leaving a .45 within the child's reach.  Ms. Gilt runs the popular Facebook page "Jamie Gilt For Gun Sense", which seems to exist for baiting Progressives and gun control activists who want to keep dangerous firearms out of the reach of children.  This came just hours after she posted some nonsense on how her boy gets all "jacked up" when she takes him target shooting.  Gilt is hospitalized in hilarious condition.
