British Girls Who Tried To Smuggle £1.5m Worth Of Cocaine Out Of Peru Might Face 3 Years Before Trial

Former shop worker Miss Reid and dancer Miss McCollum Connolly were arrested as they prepared to board an Air Europa flight from Lima to Madrid before taking a second plane to their final destination in Majorca.

Assistance coordinator Bruno Min have said that: 'We deal with hundreds of cases each year. Out of all of the cases we deal with in Latin America perhaps Peru might be one of the largest producers of our case load.

'The vast majority of cases that we have dealt with from Peru are drugs offences, possibly because it is a large producer of illegal drugs.

Ms Reid and Ms McCollum Connolly could be held pre-charge for up to 30 days, he said, and then could spend up to three years in prison before a trial.

 

'They can be held pre-charge for 15 days for drugs cases; that can be extended for another 15 days,' he said.

'And if they are charged they will be sent to prison before their trial goes ahead and we understand that the maximum period for pre-trial detention is 36 months.

800mph "Hyperloop" Unveiled

Here's how DailyMail is reporting it

Paypal billionaire Elon Musk, inset, has revealed plans for a radical new 'Hyperloop' transport system that could 'shoot' passengers from Los Angeles to San Francisco in 30 minutes.

The pods, mounted above the ground on columns 50 to 100 yards apart, travel through steel tubes, reaching speeds of up to 800mph and travelling on a cushion of air.

Searchlight On Zimbabwe- Mugabe Wins The Election?

After July 31st, i mean after the elections held in Zimbabwe, Robert Mugabe emerged the winner. Although some groups have different views and disagree with this result. I heard that erm... people are depressed in Zimbabwe.

What happened? How could he have won again, again! Well this is what happened.

According to Wilf Mbanga's opinion in a post on CNN; "Robert Mugabe is a very wily politician. After losing the election in 2008, he and his generals threw everything into this election -- determined to win at all costs. They left nothing to chance. They also enlisted the help of the controversial Israeli company Nikuv, which has been accused of manipulating the vote in Zambia during the last election''

The official results of the election indicated that Mugabe had 61 percent of the vote in the election on 31 July, while Prime Minister Tsvangirai claimed 35 percent.

Mugabe's Zanu-PF party also picked up a parliamentary majority of more than two-thirds in the election, winning 160 of the 210 seats.  Even though monitors said they saw relatively few irregularities, the BBC reported.

In a post i read on a newspaper from Uganda, here's what the 89 year old (Yes he is 89 and will probably be President in his 90's, ...err just kidding) Mugabe said;

So here's what he said about the election in his speech during the Heroes Day celebration.

“We fought gallantly in this election, and we won so overwhelmingly that some people are hurting badly,” He continued:

“If they cannot stomach it, they can go and hang. If they die, even dogs will not sniff at their corpses. Never will we go back on our victory.”  he dismissed the claim by his rival Morgan Tsvangirai that the election was won by widespread rigging and intimidation.
