George Alagiah has said he didn't want to know his chance of survival (he is pictured above at an event in January) BBC News presenter George Alagiah has said he did not want to know his chances of surviving bowel cancer after being diagnosed with the disease in 2014. The 63-year-old said he chose to remain ignorant of the mortality statistics after he announced in 2018 that he would need further treatment for the illness. Speaking to the Bowel Cancer UK podcast he said he examined his life for six months after receiving the news, and decided he was happy despite his illness. He said: 'I decided I didn't want to know about the survival statistics. It's a very unpredictable disease, you're good one week and not the next, good chances one year and not the next.' The journalist, who lives in north London with his wife Frances, had to weigh the positives and negatives of his life to make peace after receiving the bad news. He said: 'It took me about three to six months after my diagnosis, … [Read more...] about BBC News presenter George Alagiah reveals he did not want to know his chances of surviving bowel cancer

‘Ivanka can take care of herself’: Trump says stories about Ivanka’s private email use are FAKE NEWS as Democrats pledge to investigate ‘hypocritical’ use of private Internet domain for official White House business
President Donald Trump defended his daughter Ivanka on Tuesday as the Democrats' incoming House majority threatened to probe her use of a personal Internet domain to conduct government business – and insisted the case is nothing like Hillary Clinton's infamous private email server. He all but dared House Oversight and Government Reform Democrats, including their top dog Rep. Elijah Cummings, to investigate her. 'Ivanka can handle herself,' Trump told DailyMail.com as he left the White House for the Thanksgiving break, responding to a question about whether he would ever let partisan Democrats interview his elder daughter. He said the emails Ms. Trump sent and received on her personal account to conduct government business 'weren't classified like Hillary Clinton. They weren't deleted like Hillary Clinton, who deleted 33 [thousand] – she wasn't doing anything to hide her emails.' 'They're all in presidential records,' he said, confirming that his daughter's … [Read more...] about ‘Ivanka can take care of herself’: Trump says stories about Ivanka’s private email use are FAKE NEWS as Democrats pledge to investigate ‘hypocritical’ use of private Internet domain for official White House business

Video: Fox News Host Tucker Carlson Calls out Liberal Men with ‘Totally Primitive Attitudes in Private’
Fox News host Tucker Carlson has slammed liberal men whom, he says, secretly harbor "totally primitive views." He made the accusation during a Tucker Carlson Tonight debate on Thursday, in reaction to former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper's recent remarks about putting women on election tickets. Asked by CNN if he would choose a woman as his running mate, Hickenlooper, a newly announced presidential candidate, said, "Of course." He then added, "How come we're not asking, more often, the women: 'Would you be willing to put a man on the ticket?'" Carlson was discussing whether men should specifically pick women as running mates with civil rights lawyer Robert Patillo. After Patillo defended such a move, Carlson said: "I just love watching—and I'm not attacking you—but watching all these liberal men who...I'm sure, have totally primitive attitudes in private, sort of berating themselves and doing the kind of 'I'm a feminist too' routine." He continued: "Does that get … [Read more...] about Video: Fox News Host Tucker Carlson Calls out Liberal Men with ‘Totally Primitive Attitudes in Private’
