A prominent British Conservative Party MP says Australian Prime minister Tony Abbott is doing it wrong when it comes to carbon.  In an op-ed in the Sydney Morning Herald, former UK Environment Minister Richard Benyon says that true conservatives have “a respect for sound science and economics, a belief in protecting the natural world and a responsibility to do the best for the biggest possible number of one’s citizens”.  Benyon added that “Mr. Abbott’s dismissal climate science and his belief that Australia must choose between economic growth and tackling climate change speak to a distorted vision of what it means to be a Conservative”.

Turkish authorities identified a 20-year old Kurdish student with links to Islamic State as the suicide bomber who killed 32 university student activists on Monday.  Many of those activists were Kurds who were planning to go to Kobani, Syria and help their fellow Kurds rebuild the city after IS’s destruction.  His mother says Seyh Abdurrahman Alagoz had gone “abroad” six months ago and returned only ten days ago but didn’t keep in contact with his mother.  The bomber’s younger brother is also missing, and believed to be preparing for another attack in Turkey.  Police believe the two crossed into IS territory in Syria in January, trained with the terrorists for several months, and came back in May to attack their home country.

The body of Reece Harding is due back in Oz tomorrow.  He’s the 23-year old Queenslander killed by a landmine while fighting Islamic State alongside the Kurdish YPG militia, who currently control Kobani.  Of Reece’s Funeral, his mother Michele Harding says, “If you can’t get to the Melbourne service everyone is welcome at our service,” which is scheduled to take place at Dream Centre Christian Church at Carrara on the Gold Coast on Saturday 1 August.

Visiting the US, Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari says he’s ready to negotiate for the release of the Chibok girls, the more than 200 schoolgirls kidnapped by the terrorists of Boko Haram more than a year ago.  But it will depend on the credibility of those claiming to represent Boko Haram, which wants to establish a dark ages caliphate in Nigeria’s northeast.  An attempt at a prisoner swap held by Buhari’s predecessor Goodluck Jonathan ended in failure, and there are fears the Chibok girls have been forced to carry out suicide bombings.

Boko Haram is suspected of sending two young girls to bomb a market across the border in Cameroon, in the northern city of Maroua.  At least 13 people are dead. President Paul Biya has described the attacks as “cowardly and ignoble”.

Health officials in Florida are cautioning people against getting too close to Armadillos, after a rise in cases of Hansen’s Disease – commonly known as leprosy.  The leathery little creatures can carry the bacteria in their saliva.  Nine people have contracted leprosy in Florida so far this year – and even though it’s easily treatable with antibiotics, it’s still leprosy and people really shouldn’t mess with it.
