Anti-porn ex-Playmate Pamela Anderson attacks Trump over comments

Pamela Anderson has attacked Donald Trump during a speech in which she calls on people not to use pornography.

The former Baywatch star - who recently wrote an opinion piece about porn for the Wall Street Journal - hit out at the Presidential candidate's comments about women.

A recording emerged last week in which the Republican nominee bragged about being able to grope women because of his fame.

Speaking to the Oxford Union, Anderson said: "It's terrible and I've heard other men speak that way, even about me, and it cannot be swept under the rug because how we deal with it - how he is ... it's not okay.

"So I was completely offended, like everybody else, and I don't like the way he said it was just locker room behaviour because I don't believe that's true of the men who do speak that way.

"It's got to stop, you've got to have respect for women, behind closed doors, around women and around men."

The 49-year-old former Playmate was taking part in a joint event with American orthodox Rabbi and prolific author Shmuley Boteach.

This proves Mr Trumps insane insensitivity. No woman in the universe will ever support him- #nevertrump https://t.co/id4FBzlFAi

The unlikely duo are in the UK for a series of talks for an awareness campaign they are calling "Take The Pledge", advising people to be aware of the consequences of what they are exposing themselves to.

She said she was aware her criticism of porn might seem hypocritical but that she was speaking out because "I am afraid that the world might forget how to make love".

Talking about some of the material she had seen online, she told the packed chamber: "It is not fine to be slapped, called a whore and spat on - it's sick, it's hurtful, it's demeaning and it's terrible, terrible sex."

Anderson has said she is working on a book called The Sensual Revolution about the increasing disconnection between sensuality and sexuality.

On Friday, she was seen delivering a vegan lunch and a copy of designer Vivienne Westwood's diaries to Wikileaks founder Julian Assange at the Ecuadorian embassy.

She has been a campaigner for animal rights for many years.

Boris Johnson's secret 'Remain' article revealed

The contents of a newspaper column written by Boris Johnson urging Britain to stay in the EU have emerged.

According to a new book on the EU referendum campaign, he declared: "Britain is a great nation, a global force for good. It is surely a boon for the world and for Europe that she should be ­intimately engaged in the EU."

His unpublished article for The Daily Telegraph was written two days before his shock announcement that he would campaign to leave.

He referred to warnings that Brexit could lead to an economic shock, Scottish independence and Russian aggression, according to All Out War, by Sunday Times political editor Tim Shipman.

The book also claims Mr Johnson "wanted to punch" Michael Gove after he tried to ­apologise for knifing him on the morning of his leadership launch and that David Cameron would have made Mr John­son Defence Secretary if he had remained Prime Minister

The existence of Mr Johnson's Remain column, published in The Sunday Times, was known, but its contents - which contradict positions he has adopted since becoming Foreign Secretary, had remained secret.

He wrote it on 19 February, two days before shocking Mr Cameron by opting publicly for the "Leave" campaign.

He had already penned one Telegraph column arguing the case for "Out", then wrote the "Remain" article as a way of clarifying his thoughts, before composing a final article backing Brexit for publication.

"This is a market on our doorstep, ready for further exploitation by British firms," Mr Johnson wrote. "The membership fee seems rather small for all that access. Why are we so determined to turn our back on it?" he wrote.

He also warned that Brexit would cause an "economic shock" and could lead to the "break up" of the United Kingdom.

The disclosures about Mr Johnson come as a new opinion poll suggests 49% of voters want Theresa May to prioritise favourable trade deals with the EU against 39% who favour reducing immigration.

But according to ComRes in the Sunday Mirror and The Independent, asked about reducing immigration, 48% of older people are in favour but only 25% of younger people.

Mr Shipman's book challenges claims that Mr Johnson was motivated solely by his ambition to be Prime Minister.

It reveals that Ben Wallace, the MP running his leadership campaign, warned him that backing Brexit would damage his hopes of replacing Mr Cameron.

Being associated with Nigel Farage, George Galloway and older Eurosceptic Tories would mean he was campaigning with a "cast of clowns", Mr Wallace - now a Home Office minister - said in an email.

Both Mr Johnson and Mr Wallace expected at that stage that "Leave" would lose the referendum, but Mr Wallace added: "The upside is that if the 'outers' win, then you will be master of all."

Despite the latest opinion poll evidence, the Prime Minister will travel to Brussels on Thursday and explain what Britain wants from a new relation­ship with the EU, emphasising that she would like "close links" but has to put immigration control first.

She will seek to maximise the gains of Brexit by launching a trade mission to India next month to pave the way for a new free-trade deal. The Prime Minister will take a delegation of small and medium-sized businesses with her when she meets Narendra Modi, the Indian prime minister and opens a tech summit in Delhi on 6 November.

Ahead of her visit, she said: "As we leave the European Union we have the chance to forge a new global role for the UK - to look beyond our continent and towards the economic and diplomatic opportunities in the wider world."

But she faces a new challenge to reveal her plans for Brexit from an all-party move to force a Commons vote on the Government's Brexit plans.

Former party leaders Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband, plus leading Tory Nick Herbert and Brexiteer Stephen Phillips will table a motion for a backbench debate and a substantive vote to force the Government to publish an outline of its negotiation plan to be agreed by the Commons prior to negotiations.

Missiles fired at US warship near Yemen, says US

Multiple cruise missiles have been fired at a US warship in the Red Sea - but there were no hits or casualties, a US admiral and officials have said.

A US defence official said the USS Mason was in international waters when multiple incoming surface-to-surface missiles from a Huthi rebel controlled region in Yemen were detected about 3.30pm local time.

The destroyer used unspecified counter-measures against the incoming missiles, the official added.

The missile launches are the third in a week to target the USS Mason and other US warships.

The US chief of naval operations, Admiral John Richardson, said: "The Mason once again appears to have come under attack in the Red Sea, again from coastal defence cruise missiles fired from the coast of Yemen."

He confirmed there were no hits and no crew members were hurt.

Earlier this week, a US warship fired Tomahawk missiles into Yemen to destroy three radar sites which US military leaders believe played a role in the first two attacks.

The US official said additional radars could have been used to bring about the attack on Saturday night.

The Huthi rebels have denied conducting the attacks.

The missile strikes are the most serious escalation yet of America's involvement in a civil war that has killed over 6,800 people, wounded more than 35,000 and displaced at least three million since a Saudi-led coalition launched military operations last year.

Officials have stressed that Washington wants to avoid getting embroiled in yet another war in an already volatile region.

Britons prefer good EU trade deal to curbs on immigration in Brexit talks, says poll

Theresa May should focus more on healthy trade deals with EU countries than curbing immigration in Brexit talks, according to a poll. 

The ComRes poll suggests Britons would rather the PM prioritised favourable trade deals with EU countries by 49% to 39%.

The Prime Minister has made stopping the free movement of EU citizens the number one priority of the negotiations.

She has insisted that curbing immigration is crucial in delivering on the referendum result.

The approach has led to suggestions she favours a so-called "hard Brexit" outside the European single market.

EU leaders insist on free movement as a condition of membership of the free trade zone.

Overall, the poll suggests Britons favour better trade deals, but there are strong differences, depending on age group.

Twice as many older Britons than younger Britons believe Mrs May should focus on reducing immigration (48%-25%).

The survey interviewed 2.037 adults and was commissioned by the The Independent and The Sunday Mirror.

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 smartphones banned from all US flights

Samsung Galaxy Note 7 phones have been banned from all planes in the US following reports of the devices catching fire. 

The order from the country's Transportation Department bars owners from carrying on the phones or taking them in baggage during flights from 5pm UK time on Saturday. 

It warned that people who packed the devices in checked luggage raised the risk of "a catastrophic incident", and passengers caught attempting to bring them on a plane could be fined or have them confiscated. 

Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said: "We recognise that banning these phones from airlines will inconvenience some passengers, but the safety of all those aboard an aircraft must take priority.

"We are taking this additional step because even one fire incident inflight poses a high risk of severe personal injury and puts many lives at risk."

Video:Samsung admits defeat by permanently discontinuing Galaxy Note 7

Samsung recalled about 2.5 million of its flagship phones last month after reports some had caught fire because of faulty lithium batteries.

Earlier this week, Samsung permanently discontinued production and sales of the Note 7 worldwide after failing to overcome the battery problems.

Growing concern about the device had already prompted airlines to warn passengers not to switch on or charge their phones during flights, or stow them in checked baggage.

The Federal Aviation Administration recently banned the use of them onboard US aircraft because of the device's potential to overheat and explode.

The firm also sent customers in the US fire-resistant packages this week to return the faulty devices.

The kits contain a protective bag, thermally insulated boxes and gloves.

The South Korean firm said its profits will take a £4.3bn hit from costs associated with its failed smartphone.
