Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has insisted his current relationship with the media is over after telling the press that he will no longer be supplying “funny headlines” due to a lack of “respect”. Speaking to reporters ahead of the club’s Premier League match with West Ham United on Saturday, the Blues boss fielded questions on Eden Hazard, West Ham United and improved results before turning on the media and lambasting the coverage of non-football matters. “You are not going to get any funny headlines out of me. I treat you the same way your bosses treat me: no respect. No respect,” Mourinho told a news conference. “I am not speaking about football. Football I will expect every type of critic, even the stupid ones. [But] private life and stupid things that you bring to the light… “I don’t like it, so we go to a different level of professional relations.” The Blues boss also offered no guarantee that Hazard will feature against West Ham, despite the Portuguese praising the 24-year-old’s...

South Korea has one of the highest suicide rates in the world and in a strange response to its growing suicide epidemic, bizarre 'death experience’ schools are being set up to teach depressed pupils to appreciate life again by showing them what it is like to be dead. They are made to sign fake wills, hold up their fake obituaries, locked inside coffins and are given mock funeral services. Sitting between rows of coffins, with pens and papers littering small desks, the students listen as the head of the center, former funeral company employee Jeong Yong-mun, explains that the problems we face in life are a part of life. They are told they must accept them and try to find joy in their sufferings or whatever they are going through. Among the students are teenagers who cannot cope with exam pressure in school, parents who find themselves bored or useless after their children have left home, and the elderly terrified of being a financially burden on their young families.

Horrifying footage has emerged showing four women suspected of witchcraft being tortured, stripped, tied up and burned by an angry mob in Papua New Guinea. The women were accused of sorcery after a young man fell ill in a village in Enga province in August. Social media posts said the women were accused of “invisibly” taking the man’s heart, and then putting it back after they were tortured. In their attackers’ eyes this would also prove their guilt as sorcerers. In the footage, the women are being prodded and threatened with machetes while being questioned by a group of men. According to the translation the women deny having done anything, and plead with their attackers. The woman begs: "My son, stop it!” says one woman, laying on the ground. “Talk out, where did you put it?” comes the reply. “Burn her with the wire.” “I’ve got nothing to do with it,” says another woman. “I am a mother with five children.” But the attackers ignore their pleas, with one saying: "Don't jus...

Youths of these days are so organised, their days are well- planned, even on a Sunday! If by coercion or free will they come, then there is a reason: 1. Their Upbringing Trust me, the culture of attending Church on a Sunday morning has eaten deep into many young folks that their DNA responds to it by default. They go just because they were brought up that way. Right now, they are losing their drive because they are no longer within their parent’s radar. University stress has kept them busy. 2. To free themselves of the boredom of their dad’s house Some, their parents have placed them under “House arrest” or maybe they live in an estate that going out always warrant series of questioning, especially when their parents attend ‘AG or DLBC’… Going to church is a great opportunity to see the outside world in reality and not through FB 3. To chit chat with friends and gossip mates Haha…some have more friends in church than outside. Don’t think the friends really positively adding to their l...
