Three dead and dozens injured in Texas tornado

A deadly tornado has swept through a northern Texas town, killing three people and injuring dozens more.

Perryton, which is near the Oklahoma border, appears to be at the centre of an intense storm system that has carved its way through the South.

Surrounding areas are sending emergencies crews to assist the town, home to about 8,000 people.

At least 30 mobile homes took a "direct hit" from the tornado and were damaged or destroyed, said a local fire chief.

A further 75 people were taken to hospital, added Perryton Fire Chief Paul Dutcher.

A spokesperson for Ochiltree General Hospital told ABC News they are operating on generators amid widespread power outages.

The National Weather Service (NWS) reported the tornado touched down around 17:00 local time (23:00 BST) on Thursday.

It reported a total of seven tornado reports but said the risk of further severe storms over the next few days will diminish.

On Friday, storms across parts of Oklahoma and Kansas, as well as in parts of Arkansas, Mississippi and west Florida could bring large hail, damaging winds gusts and a few tornadoes.

By Saturday, that risk will be mainly centred over the Southern Plains, before lessening further into Sunday.

Mayor's house burnt down in Libya flood protests

 The mayor's home in the Libyan city of Derna has been burnt to the ground, as hundreds of protesters demanded answers for last week's catastrophic flood. They gathered on Monday evening at the city's landmark Sahaba Mosque, some crying and chanting for top officials in Libya's eastern government to be sacked. More than 10,000 people are officially missing after two old and dilapidated dams burst, flooding the city. At least 4,000 people have died. The home of Derna's mayor, Abdulmenam al-Ghaithi, has become a focal point for people's anger. Residents say they were not sufficiently warned by officials, who they believe must have known a huge amount of rainfall was coming. They say they were also given a stay-at-home warning rather than told to evacuate, although officials deny this. the purvanchal files full movie download   the purvanchal files full movie download   the purvanchal files full movie download   expend4bles movie online   expend4bles movie online

Germany's far-right AfD wins first city mayor poll

The far-right Alternative for Germany, or AfD, has won its first mayoral election in a city. AfD leader Alice Weidel described the result in Pirna, Saxony, as "historic". Tim Lochner, a former carpenter, won 38.5 per cent after a run-off vote against two right-wing candidates on Sunday. The party's victory is being seen across Germany as a bellwether before key state and local elections next year. The victory also came days after the party in Saxony was officially labelled "extremist" by the country's intelligence services. While at the local level it has previously won seats on councils, it has repeatedly lost mayoral elections in large towns and cities. dunki movie online   dunki movie online   dunki movie online   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie download   dunki full movie down
