Mahakama Yamsafisha Snoop

CALIFORNIA, Marekani
BAADA ya Mahakama ya Santa Monica kumsafisha Snoop Dogg kwamba hakumpiga shabiki aliyemfungulia kesi na kudai fidia, mwanamuziki huyo ameamua kuongeza ulinzi katika maonyesho yake.

Mkali huyo wa miondoko ya hip hop, amechukua uamuzi huo ili kuepukana na matukio ambayo ameyatafsiri na watu wengi yanaweza kuwa wanayafanya kwa lengo la kujifaidisha kupitia yeye.

Shabiki Richard Monroe Jr aliiambia mahakama kuwa Snoop alimpiga na kipaza sauti usoni baada ya kupanda jukwaani, hivyo kutaka alipwe fidia ya dola milioni 22.

Hata hivyo baada ya ushahidi wa mkanda wa video kutumika ikabainika Snoop hakufanya hivyo badala yake, kampuni yake ya Doggy Style ilitakiwa kumlipa shabiki huyo fidia ya dola 295,950.

Monroe Jr aliiambia mahakama alipanda jukwaani baada ya Snoop kuwaalika mashabiki jukwaani wakati akiimba singo yake maarufu ya Gin en Juice lakini alishangaa kukutana na kipigo kikali cha kushitukiza.

Hata hivyo, Snoop alikanusha madai ya kumshambulia mtu huyo na ushahidi wa video ulithibitisha na kumuondoa matatizoni.

Sasa waukataa uharamia Somalia

Kukosekana serikali thabiti nchini Somalia kwasababisha uharamia kustawi

Baada ya kuonekana ni tatizo kubwa Pembe ya Afrika, maharamia wapatao 200 wa Kisomali wametangaza kuacha shughuli hiyo katika mkutano uliofanyika kaskazini mwa nchi hiyo.

Wanachama wa makundi ya maharamia walikutana na viongozi wa mabaraza ya wazeee na wataalam wa Kisomali katika mji wa Eyl, katika jimbo lililojitangazia uhuru la Puntland na wakaahidi kusimamisha mara moja utekaji nyara wa meli.

Mwakilishi wa maharamia hao Abshir Abdullah ameiambia BBC kwamba wataziachilia meli zote wanazoshikilia na watawaachilia huru mabaharia wanaowashikilia .

Maharamia wamekuwa katika chagizo kubwa kutoka kwa wazee wa Kisomali, waliokuwa wakiwashutumu kwa kuiaibisha jamii yao.

Tangu mwaka 1991 Somalia imekuwa haina serikali thabiti hali iliyofanya uharamia ustawi.

Licha ya manowari za kijeshi za kimataifa kupiga doria katika bahari ya Pembe ya Afrika, hali imezidi kuwa mbaya mwaka 2009 ya vitendo vya uharamia wa kuteka meli kushamiri.

Wiki iliyopita serikali ya mpito ya Somalia iliiomba jumuia ya Kimataifa kusaidia kuunda kikosi cha kitaifa cha ulinzi wa bahari katika jitahada za kupambana na uharamia na pia kuwalinda wavuvi kutokana na mashua za uvuvi za kigeni na halikadhalika kuzuia utupwaji wa taka za sumu katika pwani ya Somalia.

Madonna isn't fit to adopt my Mercy, claims the girl's father

Madonna's hopes of adopting a second child from Malawi were dealt a crushing blow last night after the infant's father began a bid to claim full custody.

James Kambewa, 24, said he wanted to spare his three-year-old daughter Mercy a life of 'scandal' with a woman he claimed lacks 'good morals'.

Mr Kambewa, who has never met his daughter after walking out on her mother when she was pregnant, has written a letter to lawyers asking for a permanent injunction against Madonna adopting her.

Adoption bid: Madonna cradles Mercy, three, while on a visit to Malawi

Speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail last night, Mr Kambewa, who earns just £23 a month as a security guard, insisted he would give his daughter a good home.

Mercy has been living in an orphanage since her mother died.

'She is my daughter; she is my blood; she needs parental love,' he said. 'She is not an orphan. She lost one parent, yes, but I am still alive and so she is not an orphan.

'Madonna has millions of dollars but that doesn't make her a good mum. Parental love is more than money.'

The letter from James Kambewa, which he wrote in an attempt to block Madonna's application to adopt his daughter

James Kambewa is yet to meet Mercy, after he left her mother when she was pregnant

He added: 'Besides, I don't think Madonna is a model mum. I have seen her in movies of her songs. She doesn't portray good morals.

'How can a woman of 50 dance almost naked on stage? I wouldn't want my daughter to grow up like that! In Malawi women respect themselves. Cultured women do not go about half-naked.

'I also heard after her marriage failed she is already seeing two men, both very younger than her and her ex-husband. I hear one of them is even less than half her age. That's scandalous. How can a normal woman fall for a boy who can as well be her son? No, spare my Mercy that scandal.'

A court has already denied Madonna, 50, the chance to adopt Mercy, but she is said to be ' confident' of overturning that ruling at an appeal next Monday.

She had hoped it would succeed on the basis she has the backing of Mercy's immediate family, includingher grandmother Lucy Chekichiwa and her uncle Peter Baneti. That, however, was before Mr Kambewa's intervention.

He is enlisting the help the Human Rights Consultative Committee, a group of organisations which have campaigned against Madonna's adoption bid.

In a hand-written letter to the HRCC legal team, headed ' Claiming the right to raise a child', he said: 'I have learnt that an American-musician called Madonna has applied to a court for the adoption of the kid, to which the grandmother has consented.

Madonna holds her adopted son David as they meet with the boy's biological father, Yohane Banda, during her visit to Malawi in March

'However, I do not consent to the adoption because I feel I am capable of raising the child.'

Mr Kambewa met Mercy's mother Mwandida Maunde when she was 15. They fell in love and Mwandida became pregnant.

But Mr Kambewa denied responsibility for the child and disappeared. He has pledged to take a DNA test to prove he is the father.

'I regret I haven't been around for Mercy for the past three years,' he said. 'She shouldn't have been at the orphanage if I was around.

'I regret my childishness. I hope the appeal fails so that I assume my rightful role as Mercy's dad.'

The HRCC confirmed it had received his letter and will decide whether to appoint a lawyer for him.

Milipuko ya kutisha yatikisa jiji la Dar

Milipuko mikubwa yatikisa jiji la Dar es Salaam Tanzania

Ghala la kuhifadhia silaha la jeshi la Tanzania nje ya jiji la Dar es Salaam nchini Tanzania limelipuka na kusababisha vifo vya watu watatu.

Nothing to be scared of - superfit Mel B shows off her trim figure by the poolside

Stunning Mel B looked relaxed and carefree as she cavorted in the sunshine with her husband Stephen Belafonte.

The former Spice Girl showed she was in great shape as the pair frolicked by the poolside of the Peninsula Hotel, in Beverley Hills, Los Angeles.

The 33-year-old is on a break from her Las Vegas burlesque revue Peepshow but the impact of the dancing regime was clear from her toned figure.

Mel B shared a joke with husband Stephen Belafonte as he helped her with the suncream at the Peninsula Hotel in Los Angeles

Husband Stephen helped her to make sure she had not missed any spots with the suncream before Mel slipped out of her four inch platforms ready for a dip.

The pair gazed lovingly into each others' eyes as they enjoyed a quick cuddle while they splashed around in the sun-dappled water.

And Stephen did not waste the opportunity to admire his wife's figure, taking a cheeky glance at her backside as she climbed back out of the pool.

The singer had to slip out of her four-inch heels ready to take a dip in the pool

Mel may have been Scary Spice when the Girl Power supergroup were still together but she showed she was nothing to be scared of now.

The popstar, originally from Leeds, earned that nickname for her loud voice, throaty laugh and in-your-face attitude.

After the band broke up in 2000 she launched an unsuccessful solo career and was dropped by record label Virgin.

Scary Spice looked in good shape as she prepared to take a dip

The singer, whose full name is Melanie Brown, moved to Los Angeles in 2003 with her daughter Phoenix-Chi.

She had a second baby, Angel Iris Murphy Brown, in April 2007 but the birth was mired in controversy over whether movie star Eddie Murphy was the father.

The comedian denied it was his child but later admitted paternity after a court-ordered DNA test.

The couple looked carefree and happy as they frolicked in the water

Mel and movie producer Stephen married just two months later in a ceremony at Las Vegas.

The singer, who wore a white and red spotted black bikini for her dip in the pool, has been enjoying a renaissance of late.

She has dazzled audiences with her moves in Dancing With The Stars, the United States version of Strictly Come Dancing, and is the face of the Ultimo underwear range.

Pirate radio: Lady GaGa's looks all at sea in her wacky hat

It was the case of another day, another bizarre outfit for Lady GaGa as she turned up for an appearance on Capital Radio in a black pirate style hat and sunglasses.

The 23-year-old’s huge headwear took up much of the space in the studio as she was interviewed by breakfast show presenters Johnny Vaughan and Lisa Snowdon.

But the singer, who is famed for her flesh-baring style, opted to cover up her legs this time and instead wore black trousers with a black bodice and white belt.

Aye Aye captain: Lady GaGa sports a wacky pirate style hat during an appearance on Capital Radio yesterday and also brought along her famous cup and saucer

Simba, Yanga ngoma nzito zatoka sare ya 2-2

Kelvin Yondan wa timu ya Simba akichuana na washambuliaji wa timu ya Yanga Ben Mwalala (Chini) na Boniface Ambani katika mechi ya ligi kuu Tanzania bara kwenye uwanja wa taifa jijini Dar es salaam jana.Matokeo 2-2

MSHAMBULIAJI Jerry Tegete alizima kelele na shangwe za mashabiki wa Simba kwa kufunga bao la kusawazisha katika dakika za nyongeza kufanya
matokeo 2-2 kwenye mchezo uliochezwa katika Uwanja wa Taifa jijini Dar es Salaam jana.

Mashabiki wa Simba walikuwa wakishangilia kipindi chote cha mchezo furaha yao ilizidi baada ya winga wake Ramadhani Chombo 'Redondo' kuunganisha kwa kichwa krosi ya Henry Joseph dakika ya 23 kuandika bao la kwanza kwa wekundu hao.

Kuingia kwa bao hilo kuliamsha ari kwa timu ya Simba kufanya mashambulizi hadi mapumziko walikuwa wakioongoza kwa bao 1-0.

Mwanzoni mwa kipindi cha pili mshambuliaji wa kimataifa wa Kenya, Ben Mwalala aliisawazishia Yanga katika dakika ya 48 na kukimbilia eneo walipo mashabiki wa Simba na kuwafunga mdomo kitendo kilichowakera na kuanza kurusha chupa za maji.

Hata hivyo dakika ya 62, mchezaji bora wa mechi hiyo Haruna Moshi 'Boban' aliifungia timu yake bao la pili baada ya kuuwahi mpira uliopanguliwa na kipa Juma Kaseja likiwa shuti la Ramadhani Chombo.

Kiungo Haruna Moshi alionyesha mchango mkubwa kwa timu yake jambo lilopelekea jopo la ufundi kumtangaza mchezaji bora wa mechi na kuzawadiwa shilingi 300,000 .

Bao hilo la Boban lilidumu hadi dakika 90 kabla ya Jerry Tegete kuzima furaha za mashabiki wa Simba baada ya kuunganisha krosi ya Mike Barasa kwa kifua na kumwacha kipa wa Simba, Ally Mustapha asijue la kufanya.

Katika mchezo huo ulishuhudia timu zote zikicheza soka safi na kukamiana,huku Yanga wakitumia zaidi mipira ya krosi na washambuliaji wake warefu Ben Mwalala, na Boniface Ambani kupiga vichwa na kuwapa wakati mgumu mabeki wa Simba.

Mashabiki walifurahi zaidi soka ya upinzani iliyoonyesha kati ya Haruna Moshi na Nadir Haroub huku kwenye nafasi ya kiungo kulikuwa na kazi kubwa kati ya Henry Joseph, Niko Nyagawa na Ramadhani Chombo wa Simba dhidi ya Godfey Bonny, Nurdin Bakari na Mike Baraza kufanya mwamuzi kuwa na wakati ngumu.

Viatu, kusukumana na maneno ya hapa na pale baina ya wachezaji yalisababisha mwamuzi Israel Nkongo kutoa kadi za njano kutuliza hali ya mchezo.

Mwamuzi wa mchezo huo Israel Nkongo alilalamikiwa na mashabiki wa timu zote mbili kwa kutoa kadi nyingi za njano kabla ya kumtoa kwa kadi nyekundu mchezaji Nadir Haroub 'Cannavaro'. Nadir Cannavaro alizawadiwa kadi hiyo baada ya kuvua jezi wakati timu yake iliposawazisha, awali alilimwa kadi ya njano baada ya kumfanyia madhambi Ramadhani Chombo.

Tofauti na siku za nyuma mechi za watani hao zimekuwa zikigubikwa na imani za kishirikina, mechi ya jana hakukuwa na vitendo hivyo na wachezaji walionyesha mpira ni furaha na si uhasama baada ya kubadilisha jezi mara baada ya mchezo.

Kabla ya mchezo mwenyekiti wa Simba, Hassan Dalali aliingia uwanjani na kuonyesha ishara ya vidole vitatu akimanisha magoli matatu, lakini mambo hayakuwa alivyotegemea.

Akizungumza mara baada ya mchezo huo kocha wa Simba, Mzambia Patrick Phiri alisema "Yanga imebadilika tofauti na siku za nyuma, ni timu imara ina wachezaji wazuri, matokeo ya leo si mazuri kwetu kwa vile tulishakuwa washindi tumepoteza dakika za mwisho,"alisema Phiri.

Wakati Phiri akisema hayo, kocha wa Yanga, Dusan Kondic alipompongeza Mzambia Patric Phiri kwa kuibadilisha Simba na kuifanya icheze kitimu tofauti na ilivyokuwa katika mchezo wa awali.

"Nina furaha kwa matokeo haya, timu zote zimecheza mpira mzuri mabadiliko yaliyofanywa na timu zote ni mazuri mwamuzi kwa upande wangu ni mzuri,"alisema Kondic ambaye pia alilalamikia kitendo cha baadhi ya wapenzi wa Yanga ambao wamekuwa wakimtuhumu yeye na Obren kuwa anaiharibu Yanga na kudai kamwe hawezi kununua mchezo na badala yake anataka mpira uchezwe uwanjani.

Tacky Spice: Mel B leaves little to the imagination in raunchy new burlesque show

She's never been the shy, retiring type. So Mel B's latest career choice should come as no surprise to anyone.

The former Spice Girl has reinvented herself as a burlesque dancer in Las Vegas.

She made her debut this week in a raunchy stage show called Peepshow, appearing in a series of bikinis and provocative outfits.

Risque: Mel B launched her new burlesque night, Peepshow, at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas

At one point the star, real name Melanie Brown, stripped down to her bra while holding a feather boa. Later she was seen pouring paint over a semi-naked man who was lying on a bed.

The 33-year-old will be performing for three months during its run at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino.

She stars as Peep Diva, described as 'a bold and powerful woman with all the answers', who acts as the mistress of ceremonies.

Sugar and spice: Mel B, who plays the 'powerful' Peep Diva, takes the timid Bo Beep (Kelly Monaco) on a journey of self-discovery

She guides the timid Bo Peep, played by American TV starlet Kelly Monaco, on a journey of self-discovery and sexual awakening.

Kelly's character blossoms into a 'sexy, daring, provocative and more confident woman' with Mel's expert help.

The Leeds-born mother of two has also revealed plans to release a new album next year.

Mel B wears a range of increasingly provocative outfits in the burlesque show

She said of her burlesque career: 'Because I'm coming out as a solo artist next year I feel this show is putting me back in an arena that I'm most comfortable in and love doing most, which is performing and entertaining on stage.

'This part is great for me. As a Spice Girl I would bring guys on stage and whip them, so I think I've always been slightly naughty.

The former Spice Girl shimmied on stage in several revealing costumes

'Burlesque is all about embracing and celebrating your body.'
'As a Spice Girl I would bring guys on the stage and whip them, so I think I've always been slightly naughty.'

In comparison to former bandmate Victoria, who is carving out a name for herself in the fashion industry, Mel B has had a relatively low profile since the end of her days as Scary Spice.

She was joined by several scantily-clad dancers

The mother-of two's previous forays into solo stardom have been less than memorable.

She prepared for her burlesque performance earlier this year by modelling for lingerie label Ultimo.

She said: 'A girl’s gotta have great lingerie, but it’s also all about the wink and the tease that goes with it!'Modelling lingerie is really empowering and it was fantastic to get in character for the shoot and strut my stuff.'

Playful: The girls splash pink paint onto a semi-naked man tied up on a bed

Splattering: The girls cover their victim in paint

With the rise of artists such as Dita Von Teese, burlesque has become a high-profile form of entertainment, even considered an art form.

How pouring pink paint onto a man tied to a bed fits in with this is open debate but the former Scary Spice clearly enjoyed her role as a saucy striptease artist.

Yanga nje Kombe la Afrika baada ya kupigwa na Al Ahly Dar

NI dhahiri mashabiki wa Yanga walikuwa wanalitambua kwamba timu yao haiwezi kushinda, mabao 4-0 lakini walichokifuata ni kuona aina ya soka ya Al Ahly na nyota wake.

Al Ahly iliifunga Yanga mabao 3-0 katika mchezo wa kwanza wa Ligi ya Mabingwa Afrika mjini Cairo, ikaifunga tena bao 1-0 kwenye Uwanja wa Taifa, Dar es Salaam jana ikiwa ni mchezo wa marudiano.

Yanga ambayo iliweka rekodi kwa kuitoa Etoile d’Or Mirontsy ya Comoro kwa mabao 14-1 walishindwa kabisa kuonyesha soka yao halisi huku Al Ahly wakionana karibu kila idara katika vipindi vyote.

Aliyewakatisha tamaa Yanga alikuwa Flavio Amado aliyefunga bao pekee katika dakika ya tano baada ya mabeki wa Yanga, Nadir Haroub ‘Cannavaro’, Shadrack Nsajigwa na Wisdom Ndhlovu kujichanganya na mpira kumkuta mfungaji aliyeukwamisha wavuni kirahisi.

Katika mchezo huo ambao ulianza kwa kukumbuka mashabiki 22 waliokufa uwanjani Ivory Coast, Yanga ilianza kwa matumaini lakini wakati wakielekeza mashambulizi, Shadi Mohamed wa Al Ahly aliunasa na kutoa mpira kwa Mohamed Barakat ambaye naye aliwachanganya wachezaji wa Yanga na kumkuta Flavio.

Yanga waliokuwa wakiongozwa na Athumani Idd ‘Chuji’, Mrisho Ngassa, Mick Barasa na Abdi Kassim walijaribu kuipenya ngome ya Ahly lakini ukuta wake chini ya Ahrd Sayed, Gipergo Sebastian, Wae Gomaa na Shadi walisimama imara na kuyadhibiti mashabulizi ya Yanga.

Katika dakika ya 17, Al Ahly waliokuwa wakicheza pasi fupifupi za uhakika ambazo mashabiki wa Simba walikuwa wakizihesabu mara kwa mara hadi 10 kabla ya kupotea, walifanya mashambulizi ya kushtukiza lakini yasiyo na faida.

Mohamed Aboutrika alifunga bao katika dakika ya 20, lakini mwamuzi alilikataa kwa madai mfungaji alikuwa ameotea.

Kipindi cha pili, Yanga ilianza kama ilivyokuwa kipindi cha kwanza kwa mashambulizi mfululizo, lakini kibao kiligeuka kwa wageni waliokuwa wakicheza 3-5-2 na wakati mwingine 4-4-2 kuonana kwa pasi fupi fupi za haraka katika dakika ya 48, 50 na 54.

Yanga wakitumia mfumo wa 4-4-2 walijibu kwa shambulizia kali na kupata kona tatu mfululizo katika dakika za 55, 56 na 57 lakini walikosa umakini na kupoteza mpira.

Hata hivyo pamoja na kufanya mabadiliko kwa kuwatoa Abdi Kassim, Boniface Ambani na Barasa na nafasi zao kuchukuliwa na Shamte Ally, Ben Mwalala na Jerry Tegete lakini hawakuweza kubadili sura ya mchezo.

Kocha wa Yanga, Dusan Kondic baada ya mchezo huo alisema: “Tumefungwa kutokana na makosa ya ngome, wenzetu walitumia nafasi hiyo kufunga.

Sisi tumetengeneza nafasi nyingi lakini tumeshindwa kufunga. “Nawapongeza Al Ahly, ni timu nzuri, ina kila sababu za kushinda kwa kuwa wamekaa pamoja muda mrefu, wana uzoefu na wana kila sababu ya kushinda.

Binafsi nawapongeza wachezaji wangu licha ya kutolewa kwa kweli wamejitahidi.

Akizidi kuisifu Al Ahly alitoa mfano kwa kusema msimu uliopita waliifunga Enyimba ya Nigeria mabao 6-1 lakini wakafungwa 2-1 mjini Aba, Nigeria.

“Enyimba ni timu ngumu, ni timu kali Afrika lakini walipigwa hayo tofauti na sisi…nawapongeza sana Al Ahly.”

Kocha huyo alisema kuwa Yanga inaweza kufanya vizuri baada ya miaka mitatu: “wakati naingia Yanga, nilisema mafanikio yangu ni baada ya miaka mitatu, sasa nina mwaka mmoja, baada ya miaka mingine miwili, mtaiona Yanga.”

Kocha wa Al Ahly, Manuel Josse alikataa kuzungumzia mchezo huo.Timu hiyo iliondoka jana jioni kurudi nyumbani ikipitia Nairobi.

Yanga iliwakilishwa na: Kaseja, Nsajigwa, Nurdin, Haroub, Ndhlovu, Owino, Ngassa, Abdi/Shamte Ally, Idd, Ambani/Mwalala, Barasa/Tegete.

Bootylicious Beyonce flies through the air with the greatest of (un)ease

Beyonce made certain to pull out all the stops as her I Am... Sasha Fierce tour opened in Vancouver, Canada last night.

The pop diva took to the air after strapping herself into a harness to fly above the crowd during the first night of her new tour.

But for once the super-confident all-round entertainer looked a little bit ill at ease.

Low flying object: Beyonce flies Superheroine style through the air but doesn't look completely at ease at the Vancouver leg of her I Am Sasha Fierce tour

Beyonce, 27, slipped into a harness and was hoisted high into the air, but she appeared a little wobbly as she revealed a whole lot of leg in a short gold costume teamed with high heeled black patent shoes.

The singer, who is married to rapper Jay Z, has expressed a wish to be the first black Wonder Woman.

And likened landing the role to the election of Barack Obama, whose campaign she backed.

She recently revealed she has met executives at DC Comics and Warner Brothers, who own the rights to the iconic figure.

Luckily for her Wonder Woman doesn't actually have the power to fly, instead she has an invisible plane.

Like a bird: The singer pulled out all the stops at the Vancouver opener for her tour in Canada

The singer who has dominated the music world since her early days as a teenager in group Destiny's Child has reinvented herself for a gloriously over-the-top tour which is set to arrive in London next month.

One Canadian newspaper said: 'Beyoncé twisted all the theatrics into her musical performance flawlessly, demonstrating her many talents as an artist.

'She premiered her new show which sees Miss Knowles assume a dual role as Beyonce, and alter-ego Sasha Fierce, complete with designs by Parisian couturier Thierry Mugler.

Superwoman: Beyonce has expressed her desire to play super heroine Wonder Woman

Beyonce chose Mugler to design her entire tour wardrobe, and it's certainly not for the shy and retiring type.

She fell in love with Mugler, who closed his couture line in 2003, after viewing his work in the Costume Institute's 'Superheroes' exhibit in May.Beyonce comes to Britain in May.

She will be at Birmingham on May 23, London May 25 and Manchester May 27.

Short and tight: The singer wore her signature embellished showgirl look onstage, designed by French couturierThierry Mugler

Meanwhile rumours abound that Destiny's Child are set to reform for a new album.

Celebrity blogger Perez Hilton reports that the trio are contractually obliged to produce a new disc for their label.

But it could be at least a year before former bandmates Kelly Rowland, Beyonce and Michelle Williams, get back into the studio.

Meli yazua kasheshe kwa wakazi Kigamboni

Baadhi ya wakazi wa Dar es Salaam wakiishangaa meli ya mizigo ambayo imekwama kuanzia Jumanne ufukweni karibu na Bandari ya Dar es Salam. Juhudi za kuikwamua zilikuwa bado zinaendelea Jumatano

WAKAZI wa Kigamboni jijini Dar es Salaam jana walikumbuka kwa muda adha ya usafiri wa kivuko baada ya meli ya mizigo ya MSC FEDERICH kukwama kwenye njia ambayo kivuko cha Mv Magogoni hupitia kuvusha abiria na mizigo.

Meli hiyo ilikwama kwa masaa kadhaa kabla ya boti kuivutia kando kidogo kwa njia hiyo na hivyo kukipa mwanya kivuko hicho kuendelea na kazi ya kuvusha watu.

Habari ambazo Mwananchi ilizipata kutoka eneo la tukio zinasema kuwa nahodha wa meli hiyo alipoteza mawasiliano na chombo kilichokuwa kikiiongoza na hivyo kwenda nje ya njia yake na kukwama.

Kazi ya kuivuta meli hiyo ilionekana kuwa ngumu kutokana na minyororo iliyotumiwa na boti hizo tatu ndogo kukatika mara kwa mara na kuwapa kazi kubwa mabaharia kufunga tena na kuendelea kuivuta.

Hadi tunaenda mitamboni, boti hizo tatu zilishindwa kuiondoa kabisa meli hiyo na kurudi kwenye maegesho yao, lakini kivuko kiliendelea na shughuli zake za kuvusha abiria na mali.

Wakazi wa Kigamboni wamekuwa waathirika wakubwa wa tatizo la kivuko na mara kadhaa wamejikuta wakilazimika kusubiri kwa muda mrefu; kutumia boti ndogo au kuzunguka kwa barabara kupitia Mbagala ili kurudi au kwenda Kigamboni.

Lakini mwishoni mwa mwaka jana, wakazi wa Kigamboni walipata suluhisho la matatizo yao baada ya kivuko cha Mv Magogoni kujengwa na hawajawahi kupata tatizo la usafiri katika siku za karibuni.

Teacher faces disciplinary action after parent uncovers racy lingerie photos online

A teacher is facing disciplinary action after outraged parents spotted photographs of her posing in her underwear on the Internet.

Aspiring model Natasha Gray, 30, was reprimanded after a stunned parent wrote an anonymous letter complaining about the 'provocative pictures'.

Miss Gray, who is the Head of PE and Dance at Manor Community College in Cambridge, is pictured wearing pink lingerie and stilettos on website iModel.com.

A caption on her 'Tasha' homepage, which promotes her modelling work, states she is 'willing to travel with expenses paid'.

'Inappropriate': Parents say pictures of aspiring model Natasha Gray, 30, Head of PE and dance at Manor Community College, Cambridge, were seen by students

In 2002, Miss Gray was named Britain's sexiest teacher after winning an ITV phone-in competition, just two weeks before she started her job at Manor Community College.

The angry letter from an unnamed parent said the 'inappropriate' pictures were 'common knowledge' among students as young as 11 at the school.

Seductive: Miss Gray has a website offering her services as a model

Winning beauty: Miss Gray was named Britain's Sexiest Teacher two weeks before she started her job

It read: 'I am a parent of a pupil at Manor Community College in Cambridge and was surprised when my child came home from school informing me that one of their teachers had some what I would call provocative pictures on a website.

'From doing a bit of digging, it is apparently common knowledge about these photos, and has been for some time.

'Any teacher is in a position of trust and surely this is inappropriate for not only the school, but also pupils.

'I am disgusted that, even if these were taken before she became a teacher, Miss Gray has not even attempted to remove them.

'I assume the pupils have a good giggle about it but I find it rather crass.'

Mother-of-two Claire Schofield, who is a governor at the secondary school and has one child there with another due to start in September, said she was surprised a teacher could be so careless.

'I would hope that any teacher would be able to be some sort of responsible role model to children at the school,' she said.

'I don't think she really thought this through.' Headteacher Ben Slade insisted the photos had nothing to do with the school but said Miss Gray would be severely reprimanded.

Oblivious: Head teacher Ben Slade said the photos are 'certainly a disciplinary matter' but that Miss Gray will not be suspended

Bikini babe: Miss Gray qualified for the finals of Britain's Sexiest but narrowly missed out

He said: 'I knew nothing about this. It is not on the school's internet and we have very robust policies on how staff should behave in school.

'This will certainly be dealt with most severely and will certainly be a disciplinary matter.

'Teachers are entitled to their union representation and Miss Gray has been spoken to.

'She will asked to take the pictures down. This is not a matter for suspension, as much as I would like it to be in this case.

'If the pictures were more pornographic or if they involved someone of a dubious age it would be more serious.'

Following her win as Britain's sexiest teacher Miss Gray entered a competition against winners from six other professions to be named 'Britain's Sexiest'.

She was narrowly pipped to the top prize by a fitness instructor.Speaking after the competition she said: 'It was absolutely fantastic. I had such a brilliant day. The audience was great and helped me get into it.'

Miss Gray was unavailable for comment yesterday.

Pammy and the Tranny: Pamela Anderson is upstaged on the catwalk at Miami fashion show

It's no mean feat stealing the spotlight from Pamela Anderson.

But when the blonde took to the catwalk for Rock Fashion Week, she was faced with some stiff competition - a towering transvestite.

Despite trying hard to attract attention, the former Baywatch star found herself being upstaged by the cross-dressing model during the Richie Rich show.

Battle of the blondes: Pamela Anderson, pictured with designer Richie Rich at Rocks Fashion Week in Miami, vies for attention on the catwalk

Pamela left little to the imagination in a tie-die t-shirt and Laboutin stiletto heels, showing off her enviable figure and toned legs.

But her fellow model stole the show in a peroxide wig, sequinned dress and floral coat.Earlier, Pamela, who appears to be sporting a new fringe, donned a white t-shirt to announce her new brand Muse with Richie Rich.

Head and shoulders above: The cross-dresser towers over her fellow models

Perhaps Pamela, 41, has been taking some tips from Vivienne Westwood.

Earlier this month, she walked the runway for the designer in Paris, suffering a wardrobe malfunction when her surgically-enhanced breast came free of her gown.

But backstage after the show on the elegant Place Vendome, orange-haired Westwood shared a few tips for dispelling the economic gloom as the Paris womenswear shows got into full swing.

'Buy less, choose well, mix it all. Wear your shirt back to front, that way you get two ways of wearing your shirt,' she told reporters.

Papa Benedict ajipata matatani

Papa Benedict ajipata matatani kwa sababu ya Kondom

Papa Benedict wa kumi na sita amelaumiwa vikali kwenye tahariri iliyoandikwa kwenye jarida mashuhuri zaidi duniani la utabibu Lancet kuhusiana na matamshi yake kuhusu mipira ya kondom.

Jarida hilo linasema kuwa Papa alipotosha ushahidi wa kisayansi alipohoji uwezo wa mipira ya kondom kuzuia kusambaa kwa virusi vya HIV akisema kuwa mipira ya Kondom inachangia zaidi kuenea kwa virusi hivyo.

Sasa inaonekana jaribio la Papa Benedict kuhalalisha mafunzo ya kanisa Katoliki kuhusu matumizi ya mipira ya Kondom limeambulia patupu.

Papa aliyatoa matamshi haya wakati akiongea na waandishi wa habari kwenye ndege yake akiwa njiani kwa ziara barani Afrika ambapo maradhi ya ukimwi yameua na yanaendelea kuua mamilioni ya watu, alinukuliwa kusema kwamba maradhi hayo ni changamoto isiyodhibitiwa kwa kusambaza mipira ya kondom.

Aliongeza kwamba mipira ya kondom inasaidia kusambaza zaidi virusi vya HIV.tahariri ya jarida la Lancet ilielelezea matamshi ya Papa kuwa ya kutisha na yasio ya uhakika na kwamba Papa alipotosha ushahidi wa kisayansi ili kupigia debe imani za kanisa Katoliki.

Matamshi haya yanaonekana kumponza kwani sasa jarida la Lancet katika tahariri yake linasema kwamba sio bayana iwapo kosa la Papa lilitokana na kutojua au jaribio maksudi la kutumia sayansi ili kupata uungwaji mkono wa imani ya Kanisa Katoliki.

Linasema kwamba kwa maoni bora zaidi ya utatibu ni kuwa mipira ya condom inayotumiwa na wanaume ndio njia ya pekee mfuti kabisa kuzuia maambukizi ya virusi vya HIV.

Hadi sasa, washauri wa Papa Benedict kuhusu masuala ya uhusiano wa umma wa Papa Benedict wameshindwa kupata ushahidi wowote ulio kinyume na hayo.

Secret weapon: Rihanna unveils controversial new gun tattoo

Given her recent domestic assault, one might think Rihanna would be the last person who'd want to glamourise violence.

But the 21-year-old made the unusual decision to have a handgun tattooed on her body this week.

The singer, who has often been seen wearing a miniature gun pendant necklace, had the weapon etched across her ribcage.

Weapon of choice: Rihanna shows off her new tattoo of a handgun

She visited Los Angeles based tattoo artist BangBang, who initially drew two guns on either side of the tops of her arms.

But the singer decided against having the weapons inked on in such a prominent position because of her contract with make-up brand Cover Girl.

BangBang wrote on his website: 'I really wanted to put it here [on her arms]… She loved ‘em. But, Cover Girl wouldn’t have liked it much… and they pay the bills!'

Practice run: Rihanna had two guns drawn onto the tops of her arms in pen but decided against having the tattoos in such a prominent position

Favourite accessory: Rihanna stepped out earlier this month with a gun pendant on her necklace

He continued: 'Ended up doing it on her ribs.'

Rihanna already has many other tattoos, including a collection of stars plunging down her back, a music note on her ankle and a Pisces sign behind her right ear.

She also has a star inside her left ear, a Sanskrit prayer going down the hip, the word Shhh... down her index finger, and a tribal patter on her right hand.

Rihanna has been keeping a reasonably low profile in recent times following her assault drama.

She was allegedly beaten up by her boyfriend Chris Brown during a heated argument in his sports car the day before the Grammy Awards.

The couple, who reconciled after the incident despite his domestic battery charges, are said to be on a break.

Brown is expected to be back in court for an arraignment on April 6.

Legal experts have claimed that the case against Brown could hinge on Rihanna's co-operation.

Her spokesperson has previously insisted that she will 'do everything that the law requires her to do'.

Saratani ya Mlango wa kizazi Afrika yajadiliwa

Mgonjwa wa saratani akifanyiwa matibabu

Wataalam wa afya, na viongozi kutoka barani Afrika wanahudhuria mkutano mkubwa nchini uingereza hii leo kujadili mbinu za kuzuia na kudhibiti saratani ya mlango wa kizazi au Cervical cancer barani Afrika.

Mkutano huo unatazamiwa kuibua mikakati itakayosaidia kuokoa maisha ya mamilioni ya wanawake barani afrika ambao wanakumbwa saratani hiyo.

Wanawake wengi zaidi wanakumbwa na saratani ya mlango wa kizazi kuliko saratani nyingine yoyote, japo ugonjwa huu unaweza kukingwa kupitia chanjo au kutibiwa ukigunduliwa mapema.

Na utafiti uliofanywa nchini Uganda umebainisha kuwa kufanyiwa tohara huenda kukasaidia kupunguza magonjwa mengine ya zinaa mbali na Ukimwi.

Utafiti huo uliochapishwa na jarida moja la kitabibu nchini Uingereza, unasema kuwa ni nadra sana kwa wanaume waliotahiriwa kupatwa na ugonjwa wa malengelenge na virusi vya
papi-lloma, maarufu kama HPV ambavyo husababisha saratani ya mlango wa kizazi, kwa wanawake.

Utafiti wa hapo awali uliofanywa katika nchi tatu barani afrika ikiwemo Uganda, ulibainisha kuwa tohara kwa wanaume hupunguza viwango vya maambukizi ya ugonjwa wa Ukimwi kwa zaidi ya asilimia hamsini.

Mama wa aliyempiga Mwinyi amwomba Kikwete amsaidie

*Adai ana hali mbaya gerezani

MAMA mzazi wa kijana Ibrahim Said aliyempiga kibao Rais mstaafu Mwinyi, jana alitinga Baraza la Waislamu Tanzania (Bakwata) kumsihi Mufti wa Tanzania, Sheikh Issa Bin Shaaban Simba, akamuombe Mzee Mwinyi na Rais Jakaya Kikwete kumnusuru kijana wake kwa vile afya yake hairidhishi gerezani.

Mama huyo mkazi wa Mabibo jijini Dar es Salaam alifika katika ofisi za Bakwata, Kinondoni baada ya kutoka Gereza la Keko kumuona mtoto wake.

Akizungumza na waandishi huku akibubujikwa na machozi, Rehema alisema hali aliyomkuta nayo mwanaye ni mbaya na hairidhishi.

Ibrahim Said (26) alihukumiwa kifungo cha mwaka mmoja jela kutokana na kosa la kumshambulia kwa kumnasa kibao Mzee Mwinyi, alipokuwa akihutubia Baraza la Maulid lililofanyika katika Ukumbi wa Diamond Jubilee, jijini Dar es Salaam Machi 9 mwaka huu.

Rehema alidai kijana huyo anaumwa na amevimba mwili kutokana na kipigo na adhabu nyingine anazopata katika gereza hilo. "Nimekuja kumuomba Mufti akamuombe rais, mwanangu apunguziwe adhabu au ikiwezekana amsamehe na kutoka gerezani, kwa kuwa yeye ni mkuu wa nchi na anayo mamlaka hayo,” alisema na kuongeza: "Kosa alilofanya mwanangu ni kama ajali tu, na yeyote inaweza kumpata.

Lakini naumia sana kutokana na hali aliyonayo gerezani hata kutembea hawezi anaburuzwa na kipigo kimeongezeka”. Alilalamika kuwa mwanaye hatendewi haki kwa kuwa anaumwa huku mwili wake ukiwa umevimba kwa kipigo bila hata kupatiwa huduma ya dawa na chakula.

"Hatendewi haki, hapewi kula, anaumwa hapewi dawa, anapigwa na kuteswa mwanangu,” alilalamika.

Aidha mama huyo aliwataka watu wasiende kumtembelea kijana wake katika Gereza la Keko kwa kuwa wanazidi kumchanganya.

"Nawaomba watu wasimtembelee, kwa kuwa kila anapotembelewa namna hiyo, anazidi kuchanganyikiwa,” alisema Rehema na kumshukuru Sheikh wa Mkoa wa Dar es Salaam, Alhad Mussa Salim kwa kumsaidia kwenda kumuona Mufti Simba.

Baada ya kufika kwa Mufti na kueleza matatizo yake, Sheikh Simba alimuamuru Afisa Habari wa Bakwata Issa Mkalinga kuita waandishi ili mama huyo aongee nao na kutoa malalamiko yake.

Kwa upande wake, Mufti Simba aliahidi kuyafikisha maombi ya mama huyo kwa Rais Kikwete na Mzee Mwinyi.

"Mimi niliomba radhi siku ile ile kwa Mzee Mwinyi na yeye alimsamehe, lakini Ibrahim ameshitakiwa na Jamhuri wala si mzee Mwinyi.

"Malalamiko na maombi yake kuhusu mateso anayoyapata mwanaye, mimi nitayachukua na kuyafikisha kwa Rais Kikwete na Mzee Mwinyi ili aweze kutendewa haki huko aliko,” alisema Mufti Simba.

Afisa Uhusiano wa Magereza, Omar Mtiga alisema hana taarifa juu ya madai hayo na kuahidi kuwa apewe muda kidogo ili awasiliane na watu walioko gerezani ambao ndio wanaokaa na mfungwa huyo.

“Mimi sipo gerezani leo, ngoja niwasiliane na wanaokaa naye halafu nitakupigia,” aliahidi Mtiga.

Alipotafutwa tena alisema, “Kwani wewe umesikia nini?” alihoji na kujibiwa kuelezwa malalamiko ya mzazi wa Said. Alijibu kwa ufupi “Ahh! Na kuhoji, kwani wewe umeambiwa yupo gereza gani?” alijibiwa na mwandishi, Keko, alikaa kimya kidogo na baadaye kusema “Ok, ngoja niwapigie nilikuwa nawapigia siwapati. Nitakujulisha” alijibu Mtiga.

Hadi tunakwenda mitamboni afisa huyo hakuwa amepatikana. Wakati huo huo, Baraza Kuu la Jumuiya na Taasisi za Kiislamu (T), limemtaka Mzee Mwinyi kumtoa gerezani kijana huyo aliyefungwa mwaka mmoja kwa kosa la kumshambulia Mwinyi kwa madai kuwa ndiye alimpandisha hasira kwa kuwashawishi Waislamu kutumia kondomu.

Aidha, Baraza hilo limezindua rasmi mfuko maalum wa kumsaidia na familia yake katika kipindi chote cha mwaka mmoja wa kifungo hicho, na Sh600,000 zilikusanya papo hapo.

Tamko hilo lilitolewa katika Baraza la Maulid ya kuzaliwa kwa Mtume Muhammad (S.A.W) lililoandaliwa na baraza hilo na kufanyika juzi ndani ya Msikiti wa Kituo cha Kiislamu Tanzania (TIC) Magomeni jijini Dar es Salaam.

Akisoma maazimio ya baraza hilo yaliyosainiwa na Katibu Mkuu wa Kamati ya Kutetea Haki za Waislamu, Sheikh Ponda Issa Ponda, msemaji wa baraza hilo, Sheikh Salim Khator alisema Mwinyi ana wajibu wa kumtoa gerezani kijana huyo kwa kuwa yeye ndiye alisababisha kifungo chake.

Alisema suala la Waislamu kumsaidia mwenzao aliyepata matatizo ni la lazima na hivyo, wote wanapaswa kuwasilisha michango yao katika ofisi za baraza hilo kwa ajili ya kijana huyo.

“Tunazindua rasmi mfuko maalumu utakaotumika kumuhudumia ustadhi Ibrahim na familia yake iliyobaki nyumbani,” alisema Khator.

Alisisitiza kuwa Waislamu kwa nafasi zao wanatakiwa kuhakikisha kuwa wanaenda mahakamani kumtembelea na kumsaidia Ibrahim kwa hali na mali kwa kuwa huo ndio wajibu wao.

“Tunasisitiza kuwa msimamo wetu wa miaka yote ni kumsaidia Muislamu yoyote atakayepata matatizo akiutetea uislamu.

Waislamu watamtetea na kumsaidia kwa hali na mali bila kumuogopa yeyote,” alisema Khator.

“Tunalaani kitendo cha jeshi la polisi kumtisha na kumkamata Shafiq Rashid kwa kuonyesha nia yake njema ya kumsaidia ustadhi Ibrahim Said,” alisema.

Tamko hilo liliitaka Bakwata kuwaomba radhi Waislamu kwa kuandaa mazingira yaliyosababisha tukio la kuchapwa Mwinyi na hatimaye kifungo kwa ustadhi Said.

Hata hivyo, Mufti ambaye alikwishaomba radhi siku ya tukio, alisema hawezi kuzungumzia suala hilo kwa kuwa hajapata nakala rasmi ya tamko hilo la jumuiya hiyo.

Alieleza kuwa msimamo wa uislamu kuhusu kondomu ni suala linalojadilika kwa wanandoa, lakini kwa waliokuwa hawajaoa au kuolewa ni haramu kuitumia.

Machi 9 mwaka huu, Mwinyi alijikuta anashambuliwa kwa kibao na kijana Said, baada ya kujaribu kuwashawishi Waislamu kutumia kondomu wanaposhindwa kujizuia.

Kiongozi mpya wa Madagascar Andry Rajoelina Kiongozi wa Madagascar aapishwa

Madagascar yaapisha kiongozi mpya

Andry Rajoelina, mtu aliyemuondoa madarakani Rais Marc Ravalomanana mapema wiki hii, ameapishwa rasmi kushika hatamu za uongozi za kisiwa hicho kikubwa barani Afrika kilicho Bahari ya Hindi.

Maelfu ya wafuasi wake walihudhuria sherehe za kumuapisha zilizofanyika katika uwanja wa michezo mjini, Antananarivo, lakini hata hivyo wanadiplomasia wengi walisusia.

Siku ya Ijumaa Marekani ilisimamisha misaada isiyo ya kibinadamu kwa Madagascar na halikadhalika Muungano wa Afrika-AU ukaisimaisha uanachama.

Wiki hii mahakama kuu kabisa ya Madagascar iliidhinisha mabadiliko ya uongozi ya nchi hiyo.

Msaidizi wa kiongozi aliyeondolewa madarakani Bwana Ravalomanana, amesema aliambiwa na mabalozi wa Marekani, Ufaransa, Ujerumani na Muungano wa Afrika, wamemwambia hawatohudhuria sherehe hizo.

Takriban wafuasi 2,000 wa Bwana ravalomanana, imearifiwa wamefanya maandamano mjini Antananarivo katika uwanja wa Demokrasi kuipinga serikali mpya.

Mwandishi wa BBC Christina Corbett aliye mjini Antananarivo amesema upinzani dhidi ya utawala wa Bwana Rajoelina unaoungwa mkono na jeshi, haujamzuia kufanya sherehe ya kifahari ya kuapishwa.

Wasaidizi wa Bwana Rajoelina amesema hawasumbuliwi na juhudi za kimataifa za kuipinga serikali yao kufuatia kuondolewa madarakani Bwana Ravalomanana.

Bwana Rajoelina, mwenye umri wa miaka ambaye aliwahi kuwa disco joka, amesimamisha shughuli za bunge na ameunda serikali ya mpito kukiongoza kisiwa hicho kilicho Bahari ya Hindi.

How to seduce a girl in 60 minutes the Russell Brand way (why not, while he's waiting for a ferry)

Russell Brand has more notches on his bedpost than almost anyone - and here's why.

The comedian gives a perfect demonstration of his pulling power as he seduces a random female while he's waiting for a ferry in Sydney, Australia.

The 33-year-old approaches, chats up and passionately kisses a girl known only as Emma... all in less than 60 minutes.

Step 1: Russell Brand approaches Emma at Watsons Bay in Sydney Harbour as she waits for the ferry

Step 2: In skinny jeans and flip-flops, he impresses with his literary criticism

He spotted the attractive blonde at Watsons Bay while waiting for a harbour ferry and with time to kill decided to make friends.

As she sat on the wall reading a book with her fish and chips and a bottle of water, he sauntered over and took a look before appearing to launch into a reading - or at least a discussion on its literary merits.

It definitely seemed to do the trick, because minutes later the presenter was moving in for the kill.

Step 3: Emma appears unable to resist Russell's sense of humour

Step 4: Look no hands, says Russell as he tries to appear unthreatening

He made her laugh - just as well seeing as he is currently touring Australia with his stand-up show - and then they kissed.
He was dressed in casual jeans, white T-shirt and flip flops while his catch was clad in a prettily patterned summer dress.

He eventually left her on the dock to board his ferry, where he made the peculiar decision to strip down to his Y-fronts for the duration of the boat ride.
But if Emma thinks their brief encounter was exclusive, then she may be disappointed.

Step 5: Gotcha as Russell closes in for a kiss

Step 6: Result pulls off the perfect result as he locks lips with his latest conquest

Just days ago Russell was seen frolicking on a Sydney hotel balcony in his pants with a mystery brunette.

And yesterday night he was spotted with another two female admirer draped over him at the Time Out party in Sydney's Ivy Pool club.

Russell left the UK last October under a cloud in the wake of Sachsgate.

And here's some I met earlier: Russell partying last night with another two female admirers at the Time Out party held at Sydney's Ivy Pool club

He quit his BBC show after he and Jonathan Ross left obscene telephone messages for Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs.

The messages, which were broadcast on Radio 2 and claimed Brand had slept with the 78-year-old's granddaughter Georgina Baillie, prompted 42,000 complaints from members of the public.

But the scandal has not stopped him building up his fan base.

Y-fronts ahoy! Russell the exhibitionist treated passengers to the sight of him in a pair of white pants

Last week he turned out for a book signing at store Barnes & Noble in New York and was practically mobbed by adoring fans - male and female.

It came as his autobiography, My Booky Wook, an unflinching look at his sex, drugs and stand-up comic lifestyle, hit U.S. shelves.

And his publicity machine has clearly paid dividends, as hundred of fans swamped the bookstore to hear him read excerpts from the book.

He recently revealed the book will be turned into a film later this year.
