Government warnings on
alcohol sold in Turkey will soon
warn drinkers that “alcohol is not
your friend”.
The regulations are part of
new laws passed earlier this
year which restrict the sale and
advertising of alcohol, with the
packaging warnings similar to
those on cigarettes.
According to local reports, the
restrictions are among several
reasons for a wave of anti-government
protests which swept
the country in June.
Alcohol manufacturers have ten
months to comply with the new
labelling requirements.
Police in Russia have arrested a
surgeon under suspicion that he
stole heroin removed from the
stomach of a drug courier.
The doctor operated on the
suspect in the remove province
of Krasnoyarsk, Siberia, arousing
suspicion from an officer who
believed that one of the drug
containers removed from the
smuggler had gone missing.
A search revealed about 5
grams of the illicit narcotic in the
clothing of the surgeon, who was
also in a “state of intoxication,”
according to a police statement.

The huge cat (below), named Norm Lopez, has soared in popularity after publicity over a heartwarming reunion.

Fortunately staff recognised Norm from his Facebook page and reunited him with his owner Tyler, with lots of media coverage. Norm’s image is now emblazoned on T-shirts from local bands, and he has over 2000 fans on Facebook.
