Torch skyscraper in Dubai is on fire

A fire has swept through the Torch skyscraper in Dubai, one of the tallest residential buildings in the world.

Strong winds helped the blaze to spread across the 336.1m (1,105ft) high building in the marina district.

One eyewitness told the BBC "there was debris flying everywhere, falling into neighbouring buildings". The fire was later extinguished.

It is not known what caused the blaze. Hundreds of people were evacuated and there are no reports of any casualties.

"In an hour-and-a-half the fire is almost out on about 60 floors, it looks like mostly the outer apartments that are damaged," eyewitness Rola told the BBC.

She said it looked like the blaze had started on the 50th floor.

"It's an iconic building, people were out on balconies all around it watching - even though it was 3am [23:00 GMT Saturday]," she said.

New York Fashion Week Fall 2015: lovely pictures

The shows from Days 5 and 6 gave us quite the eyeful, while serving as a reminder that sometimes it's the simplest trends (colorblock dresses, oversize trousers, unfussy midis) that can make the most impact. And just when we thought we might be heading into  NFYW-overdrive, the frothiest, dreamiest and lust-worthiest of gowns hit the stage from the likes of Oscar de la Renta, Marchesa and Naeem Khan. Room for pause, indeed.

Ukraine President calls for UN peacekeepers after the separatists took over Debaltseve

President Petro Poroshenko has called for UN peacekeepers to be deployed to eastern Ukraine to enforce a ceasefire.

At an emergency security meeting, he said such a force would help guarantee security "in a situation where the promise of peace is not being kept".

His comments came after Ukrainian troops withdrew from the strategic city of Debaltseve after intense fighting.

The rebel advance on Debaltseve, which came in spite of the ceasefire agreed last week, has been widely condemned.

Mr Poroshenko's request was approved by Ukraine's national security and defence council at the emergency meeting on Wednesday night.

"The issue was discussed and a decision has been taken to appeal to the UN and the EU concerning the setting up in Ukraine of a peacekeeping and security operation," council secretary Olexander Turchynov told reporters.

The move came after President Poroshenko said almost 2,500 Ukrainian soldiers had withdrawn from Debaltseve on Wednesday.
Rebel spokesman Eduard Basurin said the town was now "completely under the control" of the separatists, with just "scattered" pockets of resistance that were being "neutralised".

He claimed that more than 300 government soldiers had been taken prisoner. Ukraine's government admitted some troops were being held.

Terrence Howard My Ex Is sending Death Threats

"Empire" star Terrence Howard  ex-wife is threatening him,
TMZ has obtained a search warrant to determine if Michelle Ghent is behind a barrage of Instagram threats, including, "I'm watching you! I'm coming for ... LOL. You two won't live to see your children." The "you two" appears to refer to Terrence and his new wife.



Another Instagram post warns his wife, "Your husband is cheating on you! Just thought you should know." The message was sent with a photo of Terrence and another woman.
And there's this ... there's a pic of a pill bottle that belonged to Terrence with the caption, "Oh dear, look what I found. Do hope you refilled. It's one of the things you can't leave home without."
The LAPD claims in the search warrant affidavit, there's reason to believe Michelle is behind the postings. One reason ... the Instagram accounts have no followers except for her.
The LAPD got a judge to sign the warrant and they have gone on the hunt to find out if she's behind it.
Terrence says he's been getting nasty posts for a year ... and he filed a police report because he believes she's the culprit.
Michelle tells TMZ, she did not send the messages and claims the LAPD has talked to her and she's no longer a suspect.

Bobbi Kristina’s Family Set to Pull life support On Anniversary of Whitney’s Death

Relatives of Bobbi Kristina Brown, who has been in a medically induced coma for more than 10 days, have reportedly agreed to let her die tomorrow - the same date as her mother.

The daughter of the late Whitney Houston, and singer Bobby Brown, was found face down in a bath tub and was later discovered with bruises over her body and face.

She has been in a medically induced coma ever since and relatives are now thought to be discussing allowing her to die tomorrow, Page Six reported.

Cissy Houston, grandmother to Miss Brown, suggested the family turn off the machine so that the 21-year-old could be allowed to die on Wednesday, which will be the same date as her late mother.

Whitney Houston died on February 11, 2012, after being found in a bath at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

A police source told  DailyMail.com on Thursday that Miss Brown's life support had already been turned off, but patients can live for a number of days after this artificial assistance has been withdrawn. Bobby Brown previously denied they were preparing to say goodbye to his daughter.

Cissy Houston, seen arriving at Emory University Hospital on Monday to visit her granddaughter, reportedly suggested that the family turn off Miss Brown's life support so she can die on the same day as her mother.
