 Backlash after comedian at Trump rally calls Puerto Rico 'island of garbage' A comedian at a Donald Trump rally called Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage", sparking fury from Republicans and Democrats and accusations of racism. The comic, Tony Hinchcliffe, was among the speakers at the Madison Square Garden in New York on Sunday. He also made a series of jokes that leant on racist stereotypes. A Trump adviser distanced the former president from the Puerto Rico joke, which was also denounced by Trump's Democratic rival, Kamala Harris. Harris herself was the target of another Trump warm-up speaker who also sparked controversy. The furore came as one of the world's top Latin celebrities, Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, endorsed Harris for president. In his joke, Hinchcliffe, known for his comedy podcast Kill Tony, said: "There’s a lot going on. I don’t know if you know this but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean ...

 South Africa Revokes Citizenship Of Chidimma, Mother  South Africa’s Department of Home Affairs has announced plans to revoke the identity and travel documents of former Miss South Africa finalist, Chidimma Adetshina, and her Mozambican-born mother. The department has concluded its investigation into the duo and handed the case over to the Hawks for potential fraud charges. The decision follows the Adetshinas’ failure to respond to a Monday deadline to explain why their South African documents should not be canceled. Home Affairs Director-General Tommy Makhode revealed that officials visited a property linked to Adetshina in an attempt to locate her mother, who is believed to still be in South Africa. However, the department is puzzled as to how the mother could have traveled to Nigeria last month to support Adetshina at the Miss Universe Nigeria pageant, which she won.

The vessels could be seen during the days of Saturday and Sunday, but on Monday t...
