91-year-old grandmother trapped in muddy pool for 10 hours, Chongqing, China - 17 Apr 2010
91-YEAR-OLD TRAPPED IN MUDDY POOL FOR 10 HOURS
A 91-year-old grandmother got stuck in muddy pond for more than 10 hours until firefighters came and rescued her.
The woman in question, Mrs Wang, of Chongqing, slipped into the muddy pool and became trapped in the silt when she went out for a walk after dinner one evening and got lost.
She comments: "I followed a group of people and walked to this wild area and slipped into the pool. I cried for help but because of my weak voice they didn't hear it."
Wang was only discovered the next morning at 7am when a local resident named Mrs. Liu passed the pool and spotted her.
Mrs Liu comments: "I shouted at her, but she did not respond just looked at me tiredly."
She then called police who in turn informed the local fire brigade.
"When she saw us coming she struggled but got sucked deeper," said fire fighter Han Weike.
Fire fighters first tried to pull Mrs Wang out but due the super sticky nature of the mud they were unable to free her.
Their second idea was to shovel the silt away while draining the pool water. However this plan had to be scrapped because it would take too long.
"She was extremely tired and started to twitch," said Han.
Fire fighters finally used high pressure water torches to blow away the silt around Mrs Wang so that they could pull her out.
She was then sent to hospital for treatment and emerged relatively unscathed from her ordeal.

SUDAN: ARROW BOYS SELF DEFENSE TEAMS FIGHT LRA
10 May 2010 - Yambio, Western equatoria State, South Sudan - Arrow Boys patrolling. Western Equatoria State has suffered years of attacks by the LordÕs Resistance Army. Thousands of civilians have been displaced and hundreds killed or abducted in the border area between Southern sudan, DRC and the Central African Republic. In the absence of an effective response by the Sudanese government to the LordÕs Resistance Army, many local men and boys have organized self-defense forces known as the Arrow Boys who battle the relatively well-armed LRA with traditional weapons such as bows, arrows, spears and clubs, treated with poisonous. Initially the self defense force was at a small scale, and it grew up in September 2009 when backlash attacks started to kill, loot, burn houses and rape the villagers. Today, the Arrow boys played a brave and crucial role by taking in charge the protection of their villages. Photo credit: Benedicte Desrus / Sipa Press/1005241614 (FOTO: DUKAS/SIPA)

Demonstration against the Government's financial policies, Athens, Greece - 05 May 2010
Three people have been killed after a bank in Athens was firebombed amid city-wide protests. Tens of thousands of people have poured into the Greek capital as part of a 24-hour walkout over the country's planned spending cuts and austerity measures. The proposed moves have also seen similar protests occur across the country. In Athens police clashed with demonstrators as violence flared, with officers and emergency services being attacked with petrol bombs, rocks and other projectiles. Police responded with tear gas and flash bombs. Greece has to save money as a condition of a 110bn-euro international bailout package. However, the proposed cuts have infuriated workers and trade unions who say that it is ordinary people who are being penalised for an economic crisis that has been created by corrupt politicians.

Lightning on the High Seas
LIGHTNING ON THE HIGH SEAS
A life on the high seas with the US Navy can mean adventure and exotic ports of call, but being in the middle of the ocean can leave you at the mercy of the elements.
And these jaw-dropping images show what lightning looks like from the deck of a warship.
Military photographers Jon Husman and Elliott Fabrizio captured the brilliant bolts of electricity as witnessed from the Nimitz-class aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis on a scheduled six-month deployment to the western Pacific Ocean.
While Todd A. Schaffer shot a storm over the Norfolk navy base in Virginia.
