‘Train terror attack’: Praise for passengers who tackled gunman
Presidents and prime ministers have praised passengers who disarmed a suspected Islamist gunman apparently poised to commit mass murder on a busy train in France.
A Briton and three Americans, two of them soldiers, have been hailed as heroes.
Spencer Stone, of the US air force, was injured when the attacker also produced a knife.
The other US serviceman, National Guardsman Alek Skarlatos, said:
“I saw a guy entering the train with an AK (47) and a handgun and I just looked over at Spencer and said: ‘Let’s go, go!’ And he jumped up and I followed behind him by about three seconds.
“Spencer got to the guy first, grabbed the guy by the neck and I grabbed the handgun.
“I got the handgun away from the guy and threw it, and then I grabbed the AK (47) which was at his feet.”
The Kalashnikov-toting attacker was removed from the Amsterdam to Paris train at Arras in northern France, as was an arsenal of weapons.
He is now being questioned by anti-terrorist police in the Paris region.
French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said: “If the identity he has declared is confirmed, he is a 26-year-old man of Moroccan nationality identified by the Spanish authorities to French intelligence services in February 2014 because of his involvement with the radical Islamist movement,”
The minister did not confirm Spanish press reports that the suspect had travelled to Syria.
A passenger was hit by a bullet. Others suffered shock.
But thanks to courage hailed by world leaders, all those on board Friday’s early evening train escaped with their lives.
There were warm words from Washington.
“The President expressed his profound gratitude for the courage and quick thinking of several passengers, including US service members, who selflessly subdued the attacker,” the White House said in a statement.
“It is clear that their heroic actions may have prevented a far worse tragedy.”
President Francois Hollande and Britain’s Prime Minister David Cameron were among other leaders adding their praise.
President Hollande’s office said he would receive the passengers who subdued the gunman in the coming days.
Second Bangkok Bombing Hits Tourist Boat Pier
CCTV footage captures a bomb blast this afternoon in Bangkok at a location frequented by tourists. It was the second bomb attack in under 24 hours.
A second bomb attack apparently targeting tourists hit the Thai capital this afternoon, the second such attack in less than 24 hours.
No one was reported injured in the attack, which happened beneath a bridge over the Chao Phraya River near a pier heavily used by tourists to sightsee along the river.
Police have secured the area under the Saphan Taksin bridge, where someone reportedly threw an explosive device down onto a footbridge crowded with pedestrians at 12:59 pm. Authorities confirmed that, as appears in the video, the bomb missed the footbridge and exploded in the water.
The footbridge is located near a busy point of embarkation for the Chao Phraya River Express Boat, a river taxi service popular with visitors.
Video of the incident shows a sizeable blast sending people scattering as they cross the bridge.
Speaking in a live address to the nation at 3pm, Prime Minister Gen. Prayuth Chan-ocha said the perpetrators would be found and brought to justice.
"It appears that there is still group of individuals in our country who harbor ill wishes against the nation," he said. "They may aim to sabotage our political, economic, tourism or other institutions."
He expressed his condolences to the victims and said they would be "fully compensated in accordance with the laws."
Junta spokesman Winthai Suwaree, speaking after Prayuth, asked for the public's cooperation, specifically saying that people should comply if they are stopped and searched.
The bombing came less than 24 hours after a powerful explosion killed at least 20 people at a popular tourist destination in the commercial heart of the capital. The blast injured 125 others.
Police today announced they were seeking a man seen carrying a backpack near the site of last night’s attack, but their suspicion seems mostly circumstantial so far.
Indonesian airplane with 54 on board missing in Papua region
Indonesian passenger plane missing in remote Papua region
Indonesian passenger plane carrying 54 people lost contact Sunday during a flight in the easternmost province of Papua
An Indonesian domestic aircraft carrying 54 people has lost contact with air traffic control while flying through heavy weather in the remote eastern province of Papua.
The Trigana Airlines plane, carrying 49 passengers and five crew, was travelling from Jayapura, the provincial capital, to Oksibil, near the border with Papua New Guinea.
"Lost contact with plane," said Bambang Soelystyo, the head of Basarnas, Indonesia’s search and rescue agency.
The Trigana Airlines plane was flying south from Jayapura to Oksibil airport
The weather was poor near Oksibil, with heavy rain, strong winds and fog, when the plane lost contact with the airport minutes before it was scheduled to land.
"We are not sure what happened to the plane yet and we are coordinating with local authorities," said a transport ministry spokesman.
"The weather is currently very bad there, it's very dark and cloudy. It's not conducive for a search. The area is mountainous."

As poor weather prevented a search, the agency said the ATR42-300 twin turboprop plane lost contact with air traffic control at 2.55pm local time, about 33 minutes after take-off and just five minutes before it was due to arrive at Oksibil.
Much of Papua is covered with impenetrable jungles and mountains. Some planes that have crashed there in the past have never been found.
Indonesia is known for its poor safety record and has numerous airlines – including Trigana – that are on the European Union’s list of carriers banned from European airspace.
Last December, an AirAsia passenger jet crashed during a two-hour flight from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore, killing all 162 people on board. The government subsequently introduced tougher air safety regulations. A final report on the crash is due to be released this month but authorities have indicated the disaster was caused by an attempt to avoid heavy weather.
In June, more than 100 people died after a military plane crashed into a residential neighborhood in Medan, the country’s third-largest city. The president has promised a review of the air force's ageing fleet.
Analysts say Indonesian regulators have struggled to keep a watch on the airline sector, particularly the large number of low-cost carriers which haveemerged in recent years to ferry people around the sprawling archipelago of 17,000 islands.
Solar plane smashes world record
Solar plane smashes world record
The team trying to circle the globe in a solar-powered plane says it's set a new world record for the longest non-stop solo flight. Paul Chapman reports.
Solar Impulse completes record flight across Pacific
A solar powered plane has successfully completed a record-breaking five-day nonstop solo flight across the Pacific Ocean.
The Solar Impulse is the first aircraft to fly day and night without any fuel from Japan to Hawaii.
Its Swiss pilot Andre Borschberg is attempting to circumnavigate the globe with an aircraft powered only by the sun’s energy.
And to top it all, he could only sleep for 20 minute bursts in the unheated and unpressurized cockpit.
His co-pilot and fellow Swiss Betrand Picard is expected to take over the next leg from Honolulu to Phoenix, Arizona.

Tunisia beach attacks: Death toll rises to 37
Tunisia Beach Attacks
Tunisia beach attacks: Death toll rises to 37
Terror arrived at a Tunisian beach resort on Friday when at least 37 people were killed in a mass shooting by suspected Islamist militants.
Dozens more were wounded when at least one attacker struck at a packed beach and five star hotel at the popular Sousse resort.
Officials said the dead included British, German, Belgian and Irish tourists as well as Tunisians.
Sousse is one of Tunisia’s most visited beach destinations, drawing around 1.2 million tourists every year.
Authorities said the attacker posed as a beach-goer, wearing shorts and hiding his Kalashnikov under an umbrella. He was later shot dead by security forces.
There were unconfirmed reports of a second gunman.
Witnesses told how their peaceful holiday suddenly turned into carnage. Some described how terrified sunbathers started running from the beach after hearing the sudden sound of gunfire.
One Tunisian eyewitness described the pandemonium: “I heard the sound of shooting coming from the beach , then I saw a man shooting at tourists and running towards the swimming pool.Tourists panicked and tried to escape and then he threw a grenade at them. I saw a man killed in the explosion and I think a woman beside him was seriously injured.”
Guests at the 5 star Imperial Marhaba Hotel were told to lock themselves in their rooms to escape the shootings.
Owners Riu Hotels have confirmed that 565 guests were staying at the resort when it was attacked.
Within a few hours, Tunisia’s president Beji Caid Essebsi visited the site of the shootings.
No group has claimed responsibility but Islamic State militants warned a few days ago of “calamity” for non-believers during Ramadan.
The country is still reeling from a similar attack on a Tunis museum in March which left more than 20 people dead.
The impact on tourism was immediate as several tourist operators warned of postponed bookings and chartered flights to Tunisia were cancelled.

To install Windows 7 on your Mac
To install Windows 7 on your Mac using Boot Camp you will need the following:
1. All firmware updates installed on your Mac (use Apple Button -> Software Update… to check)
2. A Windows 7 installation DVD
3. Your OS X Leopard installation DVD
4. At least 10GB of empty hard drive space on your Mac (you can probably get away with less but you’ll have almost no room to install anything other than the OS)
5. An hour if all goes well, up to 5 hours if not
6. Though not absolutely required, it’s a VERY good idea to have a complete and up to date Time Machine backup of OS X – it really came in handy for me. Because part of the process involves partitioning your drive, there’s always the distinct chance something will go wrong and everything will be wiped out.
7. Patience, possibly a great deal of it. Having a book handy will also help kill time during the partitioning, installing etc).
Installing Windows 7 via Boot Camp
1. Here goes. First thing – close absolutely every open program you can. That includes those things running in the Apple Menu that you always forget about. Don’t worry about killing the Dock or Dashboard – having those running is fine.
2. Now open a Finder and navigate to Applications -> Utilities and double-clickBoot Camp Assistant.
3. Click Continue on the initial Introduction screen. Ignore the fact that it doesn’t mention Windows 7 as a possible OS to install.
4. Now you have to decide how much space you want to allocate to Windows 7. You might be able to get away with going as low as 6GB, but I would highly advise against it. You’ll have almost no space left over to install software, and your page file in Windows might cause frequent crashes. I opted for 20GB, which left me with just a bit over 16GB to use after installing Windows 7.
To change the amount of space to dedicate to Windows 7, click the small divider between Mac OS X and Windows, and drag it to the left
5. Once you’ve determined how much space you want to allocate to Windows 7, click the Partition button.
6. The partitioning itself doesn’t take particularly long. If you receive an error, proceed to step 10 of the “How to install Vista with Boot Camp” tutorial. It provides all the troubleshooting info you need to resolve partitioning issues. Once you’ve cleared up any problems, or if everything just goes smoothly, proceed with the next step in this tutorial.
7. Once completed you’ll notice a new BOOTCAMP drive on your desktop.
8. Now insert your Windows 7 DVD and click the Start Installation button.
9. Your Mac will restart, and Windows 7 will boot. You’ll be prompted with a window asking you which partition you want to install Windows on. Select the one withBOOTCAMP in the Name column. Selecting anything else may wipe out OS X or cause serious problems. Then select the Drive options (advanced) link.
10. With the BOOTCAMP volume still selected, click the Format link.
11. Click OK.
12. And Windows 7 will begin to install. It’s a fairly boring process, so you may want to grab yourself a cup of coffee or your beverage of choice. But don’t go too far away, because when your system reboots, you’ll need to remove the Windows 7 DVD.
13. With the Windows 7 DVD removed, your Mac will automatically boot back into Windows 7, and the installation will complete. You’ll be prompted to select your language, keyboard layout etc. The rest of the Windows 7 installation process is very straight forward.
14. Once the installation has completed and your Mac has restarted again, you’ll be able to use Windows 7. WiFi will work immediately (no drivers to install) so connect to the Internet. Windows 7 will then begin to download updates, including the proper video card driver. Let it do its thing.
15. Once completed, you’ll be prompted to reboot yet again. Do so.
16. Once Windows 7 boots back up again, you’ll notice the resolution is much better, and you can enable the advanced graphics features.
17. But if you check for sound, you’ll notice there are no sound drivers installed.
18. Insert your OS X Leopard DVD. When prompted, select Run setup.exe.
19. The Boot Camp installer will launch. Click Next to begin.
20. Select I accept the terms in the license agreement and then click Next again.
21. Make sure that Apple Software Update for Windows is checked, and clickInstall
22. The Boot Camp installer will do its thing, and install all the required drivers.
23. Notifications will pop up with each driver that gets installed.
24. Once completed, click Finish.
1. And yet again you’ll be prompted to reboot. Remove your OS X Leopard DVD from the drive, and click Yes to restart.
2. If you still have problems with sound not working, you’ll need to install the Realtek drivers. This tutorial will explain what to do.
3. That’s it, you’re done! When your Mac boots, hold down the Option key to select which Operating System you want to boot into.
good luck
