Driver Arrested In Spain After 80 Killed In Train Crash (Video)
You can see CCTV footage of the crash as it happened on the next page. From Reuters:
The driver of a Spanish train that derailed, killing at least 80 people, was under police guard in hospital on Thursday after the dramatic accident which an official source said was caused by excessive speed.
The eight-carriage train came off the tracks, hit a wall and caught fire just outside the pilgrimage destination Santiago de Compostela in northwestern Spain on Wednesday night. It was one of Europe’s worst rail disasters.
The source had knowledge of the official investigation into a crash which brought misery to Santiago on Thursday, the day when it should have celebrated one of Europe’s biggest Christian festivals. Authorities canceled festivities as the city went into mourning.
The Galicia regional supreme court said in a statement the judge investigating the accident had ordered police to take a statement from the driver.
He was being formally investigated and under police guard but not under arrest, the court said. He was in hospital but it was not clear what kind of injuries he had suffered.
Several Killed, More Injured As Egypt Security Forces Clash With Morsi Supporters In Cairo
Visit NBCNews.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy
From NBC News, where you can read the full story:
At least 100 people were killed early Saturday when riot police fired on protesters supporting deposed Egyptian President Mohammed Morsi in Cairo, activists said.
The Anti-Coup Alliance, an umbrella coalition of Morsi supporters, also said at least 5,000 people were injured near the clash in the Nasr City neighborhood of the capital.
Many of the bodies of those killed were still at a field hospital near the pro-Morsi protest site and were not officially registered with health officials. The official death toll was based only on bodies tallied at government morgues, so that figure was only at 21.
Hundreds of thousands of people took part in rival political rallies in various Egyptian cities on Friday and the violence continued into the night.
Both supporters of the army and Morsi backers had announced they would be protesting Friday and warned there could be bloodshed. Army chief Gen. Abdel Fattah al-Sisi urged Egyptians earlier in the week to hold rallies to give the military a “mandate” to confront weeks of violence caused by his July 3 overthrow of Morsi, Reuters reported.

SNEAK PEEK: Danity Kane Back In The Studio
Am I the only one that’s just waiting for the moment that Diddy steps in and shuts this whole thing down? Knowing him, he’ll probably wait until they’ve put in all that hard work and finish the album. I bet that’s exactly what D. Woods is thinking.

Juror B29: “Zimmerman Got Away With Murder!” (Video)
The above video (which was conducted by ABC) is courtesy of Democracy Now.
The only minority on the all-female jury that voted to acquit George Zimmerman said today that Zimmerman “got away with murder” for killing Trayvon Martin and feels she owes an apology Martin’s parents.
“You can’t put the man in jail even though in our hearts we felt he was guilty,” said the woman who was identified only as Juror B29 during the trial. “But we had to grab our hearts and put it aside and look at the evidence.”
She said the jury was following Florida law and the evidence, she said, did not prove murder.

The Game Changes Name Of Rolex Records To The Firm
The Game just isn’t creative at all. According to him, he (and Stat Quo) lost a months-long legal battle with the real Rolex namesake…..so he decided to change the name of the upstart to The Firm (which I’m sure is an ode to the Dr. Dre-helmed supergroup of the same name). He made this announcement on his Instagram:
ATTENTION: All artist & producers !!!!!! So after a 6 long month legal battle with Rolex watches over the name “Rolex Records” we lost & had to fully change the name of the label & it’s logo away from the likeness of Rolex’s crown & stay away from any & everything resembling Rolex. Can’t use “Roley Boyz” or “Roley Records” either……. But today a new regime starts & I am officially the CEO of “The Firm” & we are looking for elite artists to be a part of a new movement. With that being said…. Upload your SOUNDCLOUD in my comments NOW !!! Me & @leauxsteez will be listening to your music all day today…. So FOLLOW @leauxsteez & upload your SOUNDCLOUD or Tag someone who will benefit from the start of my new label & have them upload the link to their music on mine & @leauxsteez page NOW.

@CleoSol – Teardrop
‘Teardrop’ is a beautiful mash-up of The Verve’s ‘Bitter Sweet Symphony’, Massive Attack’s ‘Teardrop’ and Cleo’s lyrics in the opening verse.
Paving the way for a new era of retro-futuristic soul-pop, the track showcases Cleo’s diversity as an artist. She has a style and sound that is truly her own, which along with her powerhouse vocals, make her stand out from the crowd. ‘Teardrop’ is the second new track that Cleo has released for fans to download free.
