Man, 92, Rides Mobility Scooter On 70mph Road

Motorists spotted a 92-year-old man riding his mobility scooter along a busy 70mph dual carriageway in West Sussex.

Police said the "very confused" pensioner found himself on the A2011 near Crawley on Friday, after taking a wrong turn.

A driver pulled over to help the OAP, who is now recovering from his ordeal at home.

PC Katie Breeds said: "He was very confused and really didn't know where he was.

"We sat him in the back of our police car and waited for a colleague in a van to collect the mobility scooter.

"And then we delivered scooter and driver back home to his warden-assisted accommodation in Crawley."

Uber Has a Secret Number to Call During Emergencies

Uber has been testing an emergency phone number passengers could dial in case of an urgent situation, Inc reports.

The ride-hailing company has been piloting its Critical Safety Response Line in 22 cities since October, though it hasn’t revealed where the system is being tested. Quartz initially found the phone number buried in Uber’s app in February.

The line connects drivers to Uber’s Incident Response Teams in Chicago and Phoenix. But it’s not meant to replace 911. Rather, the phone number could be used to help passengers retrieve crucial items that have been accidentally left in a vehicle after a trip, like medication.

The discovery comes as Uber’s safety protocols have been questioned after Uber driver Jason Dalton was charged with six counts of murder in February. Uber also launched a panic button in India last year after an Indian woman alleged that she was raped by an Uber driver.

TIME has reached out to Uber for more details regarding the safety response line.

Boris: I Don't Know What Queen Thinks About EU

Boris Johnson has said the Queen should not have been dragged into the debate over Britain's membership of the European Union.

Buckingham Palace has lodged a formal complaint with the press watchdog over a report in The Sun that claimed Her Majesty supported Brexit.

When asked by Sky News about the Queen's apparent backing for his stance, Mr Johnson said: "I think the most important thing is that she is completely above politics, isn't she? She should have nothing to do with it.

"She shouldn't be dragged in and I certainly don't know what her views are."

He was speaking after delivering a speech at a Vote Leave campaign event in Dartford, Kent, the London Mayor's first public address of the EU referendum campaign ahead of the 23 June vote.

In his speech Mr Johnson called on voters to ignore the "pessimists and merchants of gloom" and back a UK exit from the EU.

He claimed the EU was an "anachronism" that "wastes our money massively" and "subverts democracy in this country".

Mr Johnson said: "I think the prospects are win-win for all of us.

"I think it is time to ignore the pessimists and the merchants of gloom and to do a new deal that would be good for Britain and good for Europe too.

"It is time to burst loose and of all those regulations and get out into a world that is changing and growing and becoming more exciting the whole time.

"If we hold our nerve and we are not timid and we are not cowed by the gloomadon-poppers on the Remain campaign and we vote for freedom and for the restoration of democracy, then I believe that this country will continue to grow and prosper and thrive as never before."

He claimed that if the British public were asked to join such a union now they would steer well clear.

"Why would we join such a woefully unreformed Europe? Would anybody in their right mind join the EU as it is today? I don't think so, Mr Johnson claimed.

don't think people in this country would want to do it."

Reacting to the speech, Labour MP and "In" campaigner Chuka Umunna told Sky News: "This wasn't a positive speech at all, it was a rant containing a set of views which were flawed in my view and anachronistic.

"He spent most of his speech talking down what Britain has managed to achieve in Europe over the last few decades."

Mr Umunna also said he found it "extraordinary" that Mr Johnson "ignored" the role the EU has played in areas such as peace, respected for human rights and democracy.

Prime Minister David Cameron also hit the campaign trail on Friday, warning British agriculture would be hit if the UK votes to leave the EU.

Mr Cameron accused Brexit campaigners of promoting a vision of life outside the EU that was "too good to be true", and warned a withdrawal would endanger trade and jobs.

An Artist Explains The Issue With Kim Kardashian’s Naked Selfies

It’s disconcerting to me that there is so much conversation about a nude female body like Kim Kardashian’sbecause it perpetuates the perception and treatment of a woman’s body as an object.

There’s a really simple but profound concept to consider here: To be aware of where we’re coming from, what we’re doing and why. I think it’s important to ask where the inspiration for beauty standards is coming from. You hear people say things like, “Women get boob jobs because they want do it for themselves!” I’m sorry, but if the male gaze didn’t exist, women would never think to themselves, “Oh, I really want to make my boobs bigger by inserting giant balloons of silicon into them.”

Why aren’t we seeing more images of Kim Kardashian in a business meeting running the show or having meetings with other parents or of her helping change her kid’s diaper? If those things were “hot,” we’d be having a different conversation right now.

I think that celebrities like Kim have the potential for profound influence. I would love to see more people like her engaging with substantive issues in both a fun and critical way.

Nobody has the right to police women’s bodies. I don’t think a woman should ever be chastised or threatened for presenting herself in whatever way she chooses. But we have to have a conversation about where a woman’s identity comes from and what factors influence how she constructs that identity.

My own artwork will often cite poses from art history or women who used their body as an instrument of political protest, and I think it’s possible to portray nudity without presenting the body as just an object to consumed. But it’s often hard for people to tell the difference. It’s absolutely important to me that an image introduces a dialogue or asks a question. And I think it’s important for women in particular to have the autonomy to decide when her body is sexualized and when it’s not.

Former Rival Carson Endorses 'Cerebral' Trump

Former Republican candidate Ben Carson has endorsed one-time rival Donald Trump, ahead of what could be the decisive week in the party's presidential nomination race.

The retired neurosurgeon joined Mr Trump in a news conference on Friday morning at the real estate tycoon's Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.

Mr Carson said: "I've come to know Donald Trump over the last few years.

"He is actually a very intelligent man who cares deeply about America.

"There's two different Donald Trumps.

"There's the one you see on the stage, and there's the one who's very cerebral, sits there and considers things very carefully."

He said he had "buried the hatchet" with the real estate magnate over their scathing campaign clashes.

Mr Trump, 69, mentioned during Thursday night's televised Republican debate that Mr Carson would be backing him.

Mr Carson halted his own White House campaign last week after failing to win a single primary contest, though he remains popular with evangelical voters.

Mr Carson, 64, briefly leapfrogged Mr Trump in opinion polls earlier in the Republican campaign.

But voters deserted him after a series of missteps and following vicious attacks by Mr Trump on his character, accusing him of lying about his autobiography.

In a blistering barrage, Mr Trump had said his former rival was a "pathological liar" and even compared him to a child molester.

Mr Carson turned the other cheek and said: "Pray for him."

Asked about the past personal attacks on Friday, Mr Trump shrugged and said: "It's a tough business, politics."

He described Mr Carson as a "special, special person". 

As political newcomers who launched unlikely insurgent challenges against establishment candidates, they are in some way natural bedfellows.

Mr Carson is the second former Republican presidential candidate to officially back Mr Trump, following New Jersey Governor Chris Christie's approval last month.

The latest endorsement is a blow to Texas Senator Ted Cruz, who has been in a tug-of-war with Mr Trump for the evangelical vote.

Mr Carson announced last week that he is to chair an organisation that works on turning out the Christian vote.

Mr Trump is leading ahead of next Tuesday's Republican primaries in Ohio and Florida when he could all but sew up the party's nomination, which will be decided in July.

He has been appealing to Republican grandees, who remain wary that he could lead the party into oblivion in November's election, to unite behind him.

A bus driver has been jailed after trying to smuggle cocaine worth up to £18m on a school trip taking Romanian schoolchildren to Britain.

A bus driver has been jailed after trying to smuggle cocaine worth up to £18m on a school trip taking Romanian schoolchildren to Britain.

Ioan Buciuta, 53, tried to use the pupils' trip to London as cover to sneak the cocaine through the Port of Dover in Kent.

The Romanian was caught after Border Force officers found around 130 packages wrapped in tape in a specially adapted area behind a false bulkhead in the luggage compartment.

Investigators acting on intelligence from the National Crime Agency (NCA) found a panel covering the drugs had been screwed into place and then covered with carpet.

Buciuta, a courier for a Romanian organised crime gang, was arrested on 6 June last year and the schoolchildren travelled on to their hotel in taxis.

He later pleaded guilty to importing the Class A drug and has been sentenced at Maidstone Crown Court to 17 years in prison.

Matt Rivers, of the NCA's Dover border investigation team, said they had caused "major disruption" to the organised crime gang.

He said: "Ioan Buciuta was a trusted courier, comfortable with the task of carrying millions of pounds of Class A drugs across a continent.

"The fact he was happy to do so using the cover of a children's school trip shows how cynical his criminal organisation is."

Ioan's brother, Gheorghe Buciuta, 36, was cleared of importation charges in connection with the same seizure following a trial last November.

Geordie Shore's Charlotte Crosby Gets Driving Ban

Crosby has apologised to her family and fans

Reality TV star Charlotte Crosby has been banned from driving for three years after a second drink-driving conviction.

The 25-year-old Geordie Shore star was caught driving her Range Rover early in the morning after drinking on a train home from Newcastle to London.

Two police officers saw her weaving down the road and, after pulling her over, a breath test showed she was more than double the legal limit.

Chairman of the bench Keith McIntosh at Newcastle Magistrates' Court said it "beggared belief" that she had been caught for a second time.

It puts into jeopardy the Celebrity Big Brother 2013 winner's plans to launch a career in America because she will now be unable to get a visa to travel there.

She was banned from driving for 18 months in 2012.

Crosby, who has more than 2.7 million Twitter followers and has also made fitness DVDs, pleaded guilty to the latest charge on 28 January.

Nick Freeman, defending, said she had decided to make the short journey from the railway station to her hotel despite having initially planned to get a taxi.

He said "she accepts that she is the author of her misfortune" and added that she was "bitterly ashamed, contrite and embarrassed".

Mr Freeman said Crosby had been close to landing a TV career in America but "that will not now happen as she will not get a visa".

"She would like to apologise to the court and her family," he said.

"She would like to apologise to her legions of fans and supporters who she has let down in a huge way."

Crosby was also told to pay £1,185.
