| Mother and child die as baby poisoned through breast milk after snake bite Posted: 25 May 2018 09:16 AM PDT  An Indian woman who was bitten by a snake in her sleep and unknowingly breastfed poisoned milk to her daughter has died along with the child, police said Friday. The 35-year-old woman from Uttar Pradesh state did not realise she had been bitten when she woke and breastfed her daughter. The three-year-old girl and the mother fell ill on Thursday and both died before they could reach hospital, police inspector Vijay Singh told AFP. The family spotted the snake in another room but the creature escaped. A post-mortem is to be carried out but police have registered a case of accidental death, the officer added. India is home to some 300 snake species and 60 are highly venomous, including the Indian cobra, krait, Russell's viper and saw-scaled viper. India accounts for 46,000 of the 100,000 snakebite deaths around the world each year, according to a 2011 study by the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene.

| Iran expects measures to save nuclear deal by end of May Posted: 25 May 2018 11:41 AM PDT  European countries have until the end of May to propose ways to mitigate the effects of the US withdrawal from a landmark nuclear deal between world powers and Tehran, a senior Iranian official said Friday. Tehran has threatened to restart its uranium enrichment programme at an "industrial level" if the 2015 pact falls apart. The comments came ahead of the first "joint commission" meeting in Vienna between the other signatories of the deal -- China, Russia, France, Britain, Germany and Iran -- since Washington's dramatic announcement on May 8 that it was pulling out from the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and would re-impose sanctions on Iran.

| Canada restaurant blast: Bomb explosion injures 15 people in Mississauga as two suspects flee Posted: 25 May 2018 01:31 AM PDT  Canadian police are hunting for two men who set off a homemade bomb in an Indian restaurant in Mississauga, injuring 15 people on Thursday evening. Footage released by police shows the two suspects entering the city's Bombay Bhel restaurant with an object resembling a paint can moments before the bomb went off. The pair fled the scene late on Thursday and a manhunt is under way. The motive for the attack is unknown and there was no immediate claim of responsibility.

"It appears they just went in, dropped off this device and took off right away." Two separate family parties were going on at the restaurant at the time of the attack with children under the age of ten present. A CCTV image released by police shows two suspects walking in the Bombay Bhel restaurant before the bomb exploded. One is carrying an object Credit: Peel Regional Police Three of those hurt had what were described as "critical blast injuries". Rafael Conceicao, a student from Sao Paulo, Brazil, was near the restaurant when the explosion occurred. "Glass was broken in the street ... Everything was destroyed. Lots of blood on the floor. Many people were screaming. They were trying to run out from the restaurant," he said. Officials said three Indian-Canadians suffered critical injuries but are in a stable condition in hospital. The remaining 12 victims suffered minor and superficial injuries, police said. The ages of the injured range from 23 to 69.

We haven't ruled anything out as we start our investigation," said Peel Regional Police Chief Jennifer Evans. "Every police resource is being used right now to locate the people responsible for this horrendous act." Peel Regional Police said they received a call at just after 10.30pm local time (3.30am BST). Heavily armed tactical officers were part of the large police response at the scene. Police are seeking to establish a motive for the attack on Thursday Credit: MARK BLINCH /Reuters The plaza where the restaurant is located remained sealed off on Friday. "It was an extremely horrific and sad incident that happened at our Hwy 10 location," the restaurant said in a Facebook post. Mississauga, which is Canada's sixth largest city and has a population of 700,000, is near Lake Ontario and about 20 miles west of Toronto. The explosion in Mississauga comes a month after a driver ploughed his white Ryder rental van into a lunch-hour crowd in Toronto, killing 10 people and injuring 15.
