Hamas's astonishing response as Donald Trump threatens to 'unleash Hell' if they do not

Hamas has claimed that US president Donald Trump's threat to 'let all hell break out' on the terror group if it does not return all 76 hostages by noon on Saturday 'further complicates matters.' The terror group, which slaughtered around 1,200 Israelis when it launched an incursion into Israel on October 7 2023, said last night that it was indefinitely scrapping a scheduled hostage release, claiming Israel had violated the already-fragile ceasefire agreement that was agreed upon last month.  Trump told reporters late on Monday night that while the decision ultimately rests on Israel's shoulders, 'as far as I'm concerned, if all of the hostages aren't returned by Saturday 12 o'clock - I think it's an appropriate time - I would say cancel it and all bets are off and let hell break out.'

The US president's remarks came in an interview with Fox News less than a week after he floated his plan to take control of Gaza and turn it into ' the Riviera of the Middle East'.

British tourist is left stranded in Malaysia following row over £1.27 parking ticket after

A British man who has been stranded in Malaysia for more than two months after his passport was confiscated over a £1.27 parking fee has branded the south-east Asian country 'a hell hole with no human rights'. Ahmed Hadi, a 47-year-old electrician from London , was arrested and imprisoned three days arriving in the country with his wife, Lucy, and two daughters on December 4. Hadi said his ordeal began when a payment machine refused to accept either of his cards as he attempted to leave a car park in the island state of Penang, off the north-west coast of Malaysia, with his family. Unable to pay the charge of seven Malaysian ringgits, he pressed a button to request assistance but claims a 10-minute conversation with parking officials failed to yield a solution. With no staff present to assist, Hadi said he gently lifted the plastic barrier only for it to 'cave in like paper'. Two days later he received a telephone call ordering him to attend a police station, where he was questioned for two hours about breaking the barrier.

Inside Russia's torture prisons for Ukrainian POWs: Guards are ordered to 'be cruel,

One of the former prison employees described how guards would beat Ukrainians until their batons broke, with implements piling up after being discarded and sadistic officers turning to other materials such as hot water pipes to maximise pain and damage. Prisoners are brutally beaten for even looking a guard in the eye, the employee said, and guards would ritually beat them in the same area of their bodies to prevent their injuries from healing.
