Europe is experiencing its greatest migrant influx since the Second World War

Migrants often meet in Libya where they locate and pay smugglers who will facilitate their trip across the Mediterranean

Normally after six or seven hours after leaving the Libyan coast, migrants made distress calls to Italian authorities

In that year, an estimated 3,500 migrants lost their lives whilst making the crossing.

This encompasses two main migratory flows

2014 was marked by an unprecedented number of Kosovans crossing the SerbianHungarian border illegally

This effort was supported by Germany, who sent personnel and surveillance equipment

When its fighters enslave and rape infidel girls, they boast that they are doing God’s will

So when fugitives from IS-occupied Syria or Iraq say they are frightened to return home, there is a good chance they are telling the truth

Yet the recent surge of asylum-seekers has tested Europe’s commitment to its ideals, to put it mildly

Neo-Nazi thugs in Germany have torched asylum-seekers’ hostels

Its governments have racked up vast debts which they plan to dump on future generations

People who cross deserts and stormy seas to get to Europe are unlikely to be slackers when they arrive

So they can help ease this problem: caring for the elderly and shouldering a share of debts they had no role in running up

The fear that they will poach jobs or drag down local wages is also misplaced

Europe is neither willing nor able to absorb big inflows

Ashley Madison, which is already facing a class action from users in Canada over the data breach, said it was co-operating with police.

Gargling with salt water may help your sore throat.

Recent research has shed light on the causes of the disease.

This uncouth act has attracted interest from scholars and the general public alike since antiquity

Underneath the calm exterior lurk unruly instincts and urges are struggling to escape

I like his quirky sense of humour.

Cole's style is decidedly more formal than the previous manager's.

It is easy to overlook a small detail like that.

She suffered extreme embarrassment at not knowing how to read

He had become anobject of ridicule among the other teachers.

Where is the scientific grandeur in such ignoble acts?

I have found that silent videos of yawning people trigger contagious yawns in about 55 per cent of observers

Hiccupping starts with a sudden inhalation produced by a downward jerk of the diaphragm and contraction of the muscles between the ribs

Hiccupping starts at around 8 weeks of gestation

Hiccups return with a vengeance in later life in the form of persistent bouts lasting 48 hours or longer

These causes can range from distension of the stomach and irritation of the oesophagus to various thoracic and nervous disorders

The problems in our schools do not have a simple remedy.

It is particularly effective on children and shows the power of social inhibition over an ancient, instinctive act.

If you ingest a toxic substance, your body uses an effective and violent response to try to eject it: vomiting.

The neurological process that inhibits our response to self-touching also computes our discrimination of self and other

We would go through life in a giant chain reaction of goosiness

If computer scientists could create an algorithm to differentiate touching from being touched, they would increase the fine motor control of robots and be on the way to producing a machine with personhood

I will further suggest that feigned tickle – the basis of the “I’m going to get you” game – is the most ancient joke

The laboured breathing this produces is the origin of laughter, with the ancestral “pant-pant” – still produced by chimpanzees when tickled – evolving into the modern human “ha-ha”.
