Police Shocking Behaviour Occupy MELBOURNE - Full Video



Friday, nearly 100 Occupy-protesters were arrested while 20 suffered minor injuries. A police officer and a protester were taken to the emergency room. Eight police cars were damaged during the protest, police told the newspaper.

Occupy Melbourne protesters have been camping out in the City Square for over a week, PerthNow reports. Chaos broke out on Friday as about a hundred activists defied an order and refused to leave the square by 9am.

According to The Australian, police had taken down the campsite and destroyed tents before the arrests. Despite Friday's events, 400 protesters rallied in Federation Square in Melbourne on Saturday.

Yet the arrests on Friday continue to fuel reactions on Twitter.

@Suicidegirls tweeted, "This is INSANE!!!! Mass arrests @OccupyMelbourne..."

@peacegalaxy tweets, "Shame on Melbourne Police. POWER TO THE PEACEFUL! Riot Police Brutalize Occupy Melbourne Protesters."

Sultan Bin Abdel Aziz Dies At 85



Saudi throne, Crown Prince Sultan bin Abdel Aziz, died abroad Saturday after an illness, state TV said. He was 85 years old.

The death of the crown prince – who was the half brother of the ailing Saudi King Abdullah – opens questions about the succession in the oil-rich kingdom.

Sultan, who was the kingdom's deputy prime minister and the minister of defense and aviation, had a string of health issues. He underwent surgery in New York in February 2009 for an undisclosed illness and spent nearly a year abroad recuperating in the United States and at a palace in Agadir, Morocco.

The report did not say where outside the kingdom he died or elaborate on Sultan's illness.

The most likely candidate for the throne after Sultan is Prince Nayef, the powerful interior minister in charge of internal security forces. After Sultan fell ill, the king gave Nayef an implicit nod in 2009 by naming him second deputy prime minister, traditionally the post of the third in line.

Live Video - Adam Martynyuk Attacks Ukraine Parliamentarian

Martynyuk refused to allow politician Oleg Lyashko to make a speech that he had not signed up for "in accordance with regulations," according to the Kyiv Post. Lyashko responded by calling the senior statesman a "Pharisee." The insult, which refers to an ancient religious sect but is commonly used to refer to a self-righteous person, sent Martynyuk lunging for his fellow politician, grabbing him by the neck and pushing him to the ground.

Twin Girls Born In Single Body with Two Heads In China - VIDEO

A staffer surnamed Wang at Suining City Central Hospital in Sichuan province says the girls were born Thursday.

Wang said Tuesday the parents, who are farmers, did not want to have the babies at first, fearing they could not afford to keep them alive. She said they transferred the twins to a hospital in the nearby metropolis of Chongqing to be examined by experts.

The local Huaxi Metropolis Daily reported the twins weighed 9 pounds (4 kilograms) and measured 20 inches (51 centimeters). They have two spines and two esophaguses and share other organs. Doctors were quoted as saying it would be nearly impossible to separate them.
