Manchester attack: Trump calls attacker a 'loser'

By sam lyimo jr.
US President Donald Trump has called those behind the Manchester suicide bombing and other similar attacks "evil losers in life".
"I won't call them monsters because they would like that term. I will call them losers," he said in a speech during a visit to the Middle East.
World leaders have been sending messages of grief and solidarity to the UK city after the explosion at an Ariana Grande concert on Monday night.
Twenty-two people have been killed.
Police have named Salman Abedi as the suspected suicide bomber. The 22-year-old was Manchester born and from a family of Libyan origin, the BBC understands.
One of the most poignant reactions came from Polish President Andrzej Duda, who laid flowers at the British embassy in Warsaw as it emerged that a Polish couple were missing.
Angelika and Marcin Klis had gone to the Manchester Arena to pick up their daughter Alex and have not been seen since. She has appealed for help in finding them.
French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe called on people to be vigilant.
"The most cowardly form of terrorism has struck once again, targeting - as in Paris more than a year ago - a concert venue," he said in a statement, referring to the attack at the Bataclan music venue in Paris in November 2015.
French President Emmanuel Macron, who also expressed condolences, plans to speak with UK Prime Minister Theresa May.
In an interview with France Info, Mr Estrosi assumed an Islamist motive, saying: "We must wage war against the fifth column which crawls like an octopus through underground networks."
In his remarks in the West Bank town of Bethlehem, Mr Trump also spoke of an "evil ideology [which] must be completely obliterated".
"Our society can have no tolerance for this continuation of bloodshed," he said during his his press conference with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.
Meanwhile, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he was ready to increase security co-operation with the UK after "this cynical, inhuman crime", adding that he expected that those behind it would "not escape the punishment they deserve".
But Viktor Ozerov, who heads the defence committee of Russia's upper house of parliament, called the bombing a "lesson" to British intelligence for refusing to share information with their Russian counterparts.

The sexual origins of the popular barre workout

H ere's what I remember about my first barre class: The workout was so grueling it made my muscles twitch as I lay on my back, rhythmically thrusting my pelvis to a sensual cover of Rihanna's "Umbrella." Beyond the thrusting itself, I was struck by the expressions of the spandex-clad women beside me, who seemed entirely unamused by the synchronized schwing we performed. All around me, everyone was taking their air-humping very, very seriously. How exercise can improve your love life Barre, a fitness phenomenon based on stretches and strength-training exercises performed at a ballet barre, has exploded in recent years. The workout is as challenging as it is effective at sculpting women's bodies — its enthusiasts are known for being physical overachievers who are already fit but nevertheless driven to chisel themselves to perfection. It's the "pretty girl" workout, a friend recently told me, with nearly every woman in class covered in...

Hakuna kitu kinachotafuna nyoyo za watu kama chuki na unafiki. Walio wengi hawapendi ukweli wa kile wasichokipenda uzidi kudumu. Tukiachilia ushabiki wetu na unazi tulio nao Mo Salah amekuwa na msimu bora kuzidi mchezaji yoyote ndani ya EPL. Ametwa tuzo ya mchezaji bora wa mwezi mara 3 na hii inadhihirisha wazi kuwa DALILI YA MVUA NI MAWINGU. Najua roho zinawauma hasa ndugu zangu upande wa pili wanaotokea mashariki mwa Jiji la Liverpool wakipitia mji wa Warrington umbali wa kilometa kama 50 sawa na maili 31 na wale vibaraka wa Mrusi waliomtelekeza. Enewei Kinachonisikitisha zaidi ni kuamini kuwa mchezaji bora lazima timu yake ipate mafanikio. Huu ni uchuro ambao Sepp Blatter ataulizwa na malaika wa Michezo mbinguni. Walio wengi wanaamini ili ubebe Tuzo ya Mchezaji bora wa Dunia lazima timu yako itwae Makombe makubwa kama UCL. Wanasahau Rivaldo alibeba tuzo hiyo na kumwacha nje Andy Cole na Dwight York na Beckham waliobeba makombe manne kwa msimu. Hizi kelele za kigezo cha ...
