REPORTAGE - Zum grossen Problem gewachsen: Heroinsucht in Ohio
Heroin In The Heartland
As heroin addiction rises across the U.S., Ohio has become an epicenter of the crisis, with the corridor between Cincinnati and Dayton hit especially hard. According to there CDC, nearly 1,000 people in Ohio alone died from overdosing on heroin in 2013, it was a 41 percent increase from the prior year, and there are few signs the crisis is slowing. People of all races and classes are turning to the highly addictive drug, which has replaced painkillers as the drug of choice. It is cheaper and easier to buy; in some areas, residents say their neighbors deal it out of their windows. Addicts are all races and classes but the most visible are young white women, partly because they often become street prostitutes to support their illness. But incredibly sad and dark stories are found across Hamilton and Butler counties, the district of former House Speaker John Boehner: couples giving up their babies to stay high, young women and grandmothers who prostitute themselves dozens of times a day to make money to buy hits. Seeing the devastation, some local churches have jumped in to offer a haven for desperate addicts in some of the most violent neighborhoods of America.
Pastor BILLY PRICE attempts to cast Satan out of CHASITY HOLT, 36, a heroin addict who showed up at his church that night saying that she had overdosed only the day before. As a heroin epidemic spreads in Ohio, many addicts are desperate for help and turning to religion as a last resort after failing to find rehab programs.'I've died a couple of times... to us it's just normal,'' said Chasity, a mother of five. Price has devoted his ministry, City on a Hill church, to helping heroin addicts in the Cincinnati, area, where heroin use is rampant, part of a growing epidemic across the U.S.

SHERRY SAMS, 41, a heroin addict who has lost four children to the social service system, sits at her favorite spot, a vacant building along State Street and Dutton Avenue, where she works as a prostitute for drug money. The spot is in the crime infected Lower Price Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati, an epicenter of a growing heroin crisis across the U.S. Sams says she has tried several drug rehab programs, but has been unable to succeed. She says part of the problem is that heroin withdrawal is extremely painful, and so the drug becomes like a medication.

SALEHA YOUNG, a heroin addict, is trying her best to be some sort of example to her daughter SAMANTHA, 12, who knows of her mother's struggles. Saleha's way of keeping her addiction at bay is to limit the drug each day, which she snorts, rather than injects, which she says produces a milder high. She says Samantha's father introduced her to heroin at the age of 17. After 13 years in a downward spiral of violence, they divorced and now she lives with her mother in the East Side of Hamilton, an epicenter of the national heroin epidemic.

She has lost three other children to the social services system.

Vicious Swan who attacks rowers on the River Cam in Cambridge, Britain - 07 Apr 2009
A vicious swan has been nicknamed 'Mr Asbo' after capsizing boats and attacking rowers on a city river. Rowers are now being warned to stay away from the bad-tempered bird, which has been snapping and hissing at rowers who get too near. The angry bird is part of a nesting pair and is very protective of his nest.

Polar Bear Peril: Bear Family Escape From Hungry Male
A polar bear family had to swim for their lives when the cubs caught the eye of a hungry male bear.
Tourists travelling aboard a Russian sightseeing icebreaker got a front row seat as the dramatic, and deadly, chase unfolded.
The images were captured by British tour guide and photographer Paul Goldstein at Spitsbergen in Norway.
They begin with a first sighting of the mother and two youngsters swimming in formation towards the boat.
Paul, from Wimbledon, explains: "A mother and cubs, about 18 months old, swam right under the bow. We did not know at the time that they were being pursued by an old male, a very dangerous situation for the family.
"They continued their swim right under the ship. It was then we saw a huge old battle-scarred male appear wanting to make breakfast out of the yearling cubs. When he showed its battered old head above the turquoise parapet all hell broke loose.
"Despite their flight from the male polar bear, the bear family did stop to eat another bear's kill. However dangerous, the bear is continuously thinking of winter hibernation and will rarely, if ever, ignore the chance of a feed whatever the circumstances.
"One of the young cubs reared up to get a look at the old male chasing them. They retreated many times, but not before they had filled their faces at the trough.
"It was just remarkable, the 100 passengers on board were dumbfounded as it might take years for a Natural History film team to capture this. Mum got away and we were still in shock many hours later but were happy to grin and bear it.
"Infanticide is a brutal truth in the Arctic; this family will constantly run the gauntlet of these old males playing out a constant icy...

A photographer captured a series of images of two hyenas chasing flamingos in Lake Nakuru, Kenya.
In the pictures, the hyenas can be seen stalking, and catching, their prey.
Lake Nakuru is home to millions of flamingos, however in recent months the bird-population has sadly been under threat, due to contamintated water.
The pictures, taken by British photographer Elliott Neep, were taken a few years ago and have captured the Lake at a time before the flamingos population was threatened.
Photographer Elliott Neep, 41, said: "Just a few hundred metres away, I could see a pair of hyenas ambling towards us. They scampered about on the beach, chasing and tap-tackling. Was it a ploy? Did this behaviour lull the birds into a false sense of security? The hyenas continued to approach and subtly veered towards the water's edge.
