NAIROBI, Kenya (CNN) -- An Al Qaeda-linked militant group waging war against Somalia's fragile government is becoming an increasing threat to Western ally Kenya and could potentially destabilize the region with dire consequences for global security, officials and analysts warn. Al-Shabab fighters count their bullets in neighborhood of Mogadishu. Al-Shabaab, one of the strongest Islamic militias battling for control of Mogadishu, has gained ground in recent weeks, according to officials, and has started to flex its muscles beyond Somalia's border with terror strikes, kidnappings and recruitment drives. They warn that unless the world takes action the group, which wants to impose an extreme type of Islamic sharia law, could extend its grip across parts of East Africa to gain control of a region that flanks busy shipping routes already plagued by Somali pirates

NASHVILLE, Tennessee (CNN) -- The accused came from all walks of life: Retirees, dads and twentysomethings. An engineer, a business owner and an auto worker. A man in a wheelchair. Men in need of Spanish or Farsi translators. Brett Beasley, with Nashville's Health Department, educates men arrested for trying to buy sex about STDs. About 40 men somberly entered a classroom on a recent Saturday morning. About half of them wore shiny wedding bands. All had tried to buy a prostitute's services and were caught by police. It was their first offense, and a county court referred them to a one-day program called the John School. It's a program run by volunteers and city officials in conjunction with Magdalene House, a nonprofit that works to get prostitutes off the streets.

(LifeWire) -- First comes love, then comes marriage -- or at least that's how the saying used to go. An increasing number of heterosexual couples have been shacking up without plans for a trip down the aisle. Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are raising four children together. Pitt has said the couple won't consider marriage until same-sex couples have the right to wed. According to a 2003 U.S. Census Bureau report on families and living arrangements, 4.6 million U.S. households were occupied by unmarried couples of the opposite sex. That's up from 2.9 million in 1996. "People don't question, 'Why did you get married?' They only ask you, 'Why haven't you gotten married?' " points out Marion Willetts, an associate professor of sociology at Illinois State University. "I think a lot of people feel if you were really serious about your partner and your relationship, then you'd get married."

By Daniel Miller PUBLISHED: 12:01 EST, 11 December 2012 | UPDATED: 14:59 EST, 11 December 2012 A man born with a medical condition which causes huge folds of skin to hang down over his face is celebrating becoming the proud father of a healthy baby girl.

Tottenham Hotspur humiliated Wigan 9-1 with England striker Jermain Defoe scoring five to move into the Champions League spots in the English Premier League. The incredible rout sees them draw level on points with North London rivals Arsenal and into fourth place ahead of Aston Villa, who they visit next weekend. Defoe's five equaled a Premier League record and, along with Manchester United's 9-0 thrashing of Ipswich Town in the 1994/95 season, it is the most goals scored by a Premier League side in a single game.

By Dan Bloom PUBLISHED: 03:38 EST, 10 December 2013 | UPDATED: 20:09 EST, 10 December 2013 A set of murals whose removal prompted one of Britain's most noble fathers to boycott his son's wedding is returning to the family's magnificent stately home. Lord Bath, 81, was incensed when the Heaven and Hell murals he painted were removed from Longleat, Wiltshire, after his son Ceawlin took over the running of the ancestral pile - which includes 900 acres of grounds and a safari park. Now the flamboyant artworks will be reinstated - in a corridor one storey above their former home.

@placeholder perhaps didn't help by talking of the 'best chest trap I have ever seen' - faint praise, that - but with hindsight maybe it was the debilitating effect of a succession of injuries that prevented Fellaini from reaching the levels of fitness required to play his natural game.

Decatur, Texas (CNN) -- Colorado authorities are working to determine whether a high-speed chase Thursday involving a man who shot repeatedly at law enforcement officers in Texas is related to this week's shooting death of Tom Clements, Colorado's prison chief. The chase and crash occurred in north Texas, about 700 miles from where Clements was killed Tuesday night. It began around 11 a.m. CT (noon ET) in Montague County, where the driver of a black Cadillac shot at a law enforcement officer who had pulled him over in a traffic stop, said Wise County, Texas, Sheriff David Walker. Two bullets struck the Montague County deputy, who was wearing a bulletproof vest, in the chest and another grazed his head before he managed to call in help, said the sheriff. He is in serious condition at a Dallas-Fort Worth area hospital.

(CNN) -- So, just what is Russia up to now? On April 17, at the same time Russian President Vladimir Putin snarled at Ukraine and the West at a press conference in Moscow, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov signed a conciliatory agreement in Geneva with the United States, the European Union and Ukraine. On the face of it, the foreign minister seemed to repudiate the President and betray the pro-Russian terrorists in eastern Ukraine. Whatever Putin and Lavrov's game, the statement signed by Lavrov in Geneva represents a major stand down by Russia. To be sure, given the Kremlin's past mendacity and slipperiness, the agreement is ultimately nothing more than a piece of paper. If Putin could breach the 1994 Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances (wherein the United States, the United Kingdom and Russia agreed to guarantee Ukraine's security and territorial integrity), he could easily tear up the Geneva statement if and when it suits him.

(CNN) -- Eppley Airfield in Omaha, Nebraska, was closed Thursday night, stranding hundreds of passengers, after being struck by two violent storms packing high winds and massive hail, the airport director said. Omaha Airport Authority Executive Director Steve Coufal said that the airfield had been closed for several hours, with at least one reported injury: a pilot who was taken to a local hospital after being struck by hail. Southwest Airlines spokesperson Ashley Dillon said two of the airline's planes were on the ground -- one of them Flight 751 to Chicago, which was being boarded -- when the first storm hit.

(CNN) -- There was so much -- so! much! -- to love about Sunday night's Golden Globe awards. To begin with, Amy Poehler finally won something (much to her astonishment), and she did it while killing her hosting job with Tina Fey. Over on our Golden Globes live blog, we asked those watching with us how Fey and Poehler were doing, and 81% voted they were doing A-OK, with roughly half that saying the duo were even better than last year. That's great news for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, since they've already booked Fey and Poehler for a third round of Globes.

Yaya Toure has added fuel to the speculation that he may be on his way out of Manchester City this summer by declaring it would be 'an honour' to play for Paris Saint-Germain. The midfielder has been at odds with his current club since his agent spoke out over a perceived lack of respect for the midfielder from the club owner's on his 31st birthday two weeks ago. And when asked about whether he would ever consider switching to the current French champions, Toure was far from ambiguous in his response.

Los Angeles, California (CNN) -- Amarynth Sichel grills cheese sandwiches and sells them to Columbia University students five nights a week. But Sichel's not just a cook; she's also a college student and social entrepreneur-in-training. Sichel is the president of one of 23 "FeelGood World" chapters on U.S. college campuses, where students donate time and cooking skills to raise money for charity. Social entrepreneurship has surged on American campuses in the past few years, according to Melanie Edwards, who lectures on the subject at Stanford University. "I believe the rise in 'Social E' publicity, coupled with the heightened social problems in our U.S. economy and the world, speaks to the millenials," Edwards said.

(CNN) -- When a client asked Marcia Harris to furnish his daughter's 500-square foot, one-bedroom apartment in New York, the interior designer met her match. She struggled to find furniture scaled for a small space that served multiple purposes. Most sofas were too large to fit through the front door, let alone inhabit a hybrid living room-kitchenette. Tables, beds and ottomans lacked the storage space needed by a college student with a lot of clothing, handbags and shoes. So Harris took matters into her own hands, designing banquettes that held pots and pans and turned into beds, a storage ottoman that doubled as a seat and coffee table and modular bedroom storage units that fit through the front door.

The first live hamstring transplant in Europe – in which a mother donated her tendon to repair her injured daughter’s knee – has been performed by British surgeons. The success of the operation paves the way for a new approach to treating the common problem of damaged knees. Erin Howett, 11, injured her knee during a skiing session on a dream family holiday to Lapland in 2011. ‘At first we weren’t too worried,’ says her mother Penny, 37. ‘Erin has a high pain threshold and was happy to ski again straight away once the medics had checked her over. She was limping a bit, but not in distress.’

(CNN) -- The runner-up in Honduras' presidential election says she will not recognize the outcome and is demanding a vote-by-vote recount. The strong allegations of fraud by Xiomara Castro, the wife of ousted former President Manuel Zelaya, raise the possibility of political unrest in the Central American country. The leftist candidate says her political party has uncovered evidence of fraud and vows to challenge the triumph of ruling party candidate Juan Orlando Hernandez. With 80% of votes counted, electoral officials declared Hernandez the winner with more than 35% of the vote, placing him six percentage points ahead of Castro. Castro had been mostly quiet since election night. Friday was her first public appearance since the vote.

A group describing itself as a 'Militant Resistance' to a 'corrupt police state' has offered $5000 for details of Ferguson police officer Darren Wilson's whereabouts, MailOnline can reveal. Officer Wilson, 28, has been in hiding on paid leave ever since he gunned down unarmed teenager Michael Brown, 18, on 9 August. Now, in one of a series of incendiary tweets the RbG Black Rebels have stated, 'We are paying $5k cash for location of Ofc. Darren Wilson. Real $, no joke, no crime we just wana get his photo an ask him a few questions.' And though the RbG Black Rebels insist this is not a bounty on the officer's head, the chilling offer is set in the context of a stream of violent online posts boasting of 'combat experience', 'stockpiling' ammunition, cleaning out gun stores and being #WarReady.

Irbil, Iraq (CNN)New U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Saturday that success is more important than timing in any attempt to retake Iraq's second most populous city, Mosul, from ISIS militants. Carter spoke on his way to Afghanistan, where he is meeting Afghan leaders and U.S. troops in his first week in the post, having taken over from Chuck Hagel. Any operation to take Mosul will be "Iraqi-led and U.S.-supported," he said. "It's important that it be launched at a time when it can succeed and so I think the important thing is that it get done when it can be done successfully.

Irbil, Iraq (CNN)New U.S. Defense Secretary Ash Carter said Saturday that success is more important than timing in any attempt to retake Iraq's second most populous city, Mosul, from ISIS militants. Carter spoke on his way to Afghanistan, where he is meeting Afghan leaders and U.S. troops in his first week in the post, having taken over from Chuck Hagel. Any operation to take Mosul will be "Iraqi-led and U.S.-supported," he said. "It's important that it be launched at a time when it can succeed and so I think the important thing is that it get done when it can be done successfully. Even if I knew exactly when that was going to be, I wouldn't tell you," he said.

Investigation: JP Morgan banker Gao Jue has sparked a federal inquiry after he allegedly managed to avoid being fired because his father is China's commerce minister, Gao Hucheng (pictured) A JP Morgan banker has been caught up in a federal inquiry after he allegedly managed to avoid being sacked for his 'very poor' and 'irresponsible' behavior at work - because his father is China's commerce minister. Gao Jue, the son of Gao Hucheng, reportedly performed 'very poorly' in his job interviews, failed to renew his work visa and was described by a senior banker as 'immature, irresponsible and unreliable'.
@highlight
Gao Jue, son of Gao Hucheng, hired by JP Morgan in New York in 2007
@highlight

@highlight
Also allegedly branded 'irresponsible' and 'immature' by senior banker
@highlight
And he sent sexually explicit email to HR, according to JP Morgan emails
@highlight
But despite his behavior, Gao Jue was kept on amid massive job losses
@highlight
Father 'said he would "go extra miles" for the bank if it did not fire son'
@highlight
Federal inquiry has now been launched into firm's Asian hiring practice

North Kingstown, Rhode Island (CNN) -- What does Katherine Russell know? We're not the only ones who want answers to that question. According to a number of federal officials, investigators have plenty of questions for the widow of slain Boston Marathon bombing suspect Tamerlan Tsarnaev: What might she have known, if anything, about his activities in the days and months preceding the April 15 bombings? About his travel and associations? And then there's that phone call law enforcement sources say Russell placed to her husband after authorities released pictures identifying him as a suspect in the bombings. What was up with that?

A New York homeless man is about to launch his own app after learning how to code through the generosity of a software developer who passed him every day during his commute. First announced on Medium last month by software developer Patrick McConlogue, 23, ‘Finding The Unjustly Homeless and Teaching Them to Code’ came to him after seeing the homeless man, who goes only by Leo, on his way to work every day. The original proposal was this: Mr McConlogue offered the homeless man two choices - $100 or a free laptop, wireless hotspot, coding books and daily coding lessons. Leo took opportunity over cash.

Voters believe Ed Miliband’s Labour party is ‘nice but dim’ and not capable of taking the tough decisions needed as Prime Minister, damning new polling reveals. The Labour leader is seen weaker, less charismatic and worse in a crisis than David Cameron, as pollsters warn he will have to ‘defy history’ to take power after just one term in opposition. But the most damaging revelation is that voters see Mr Miliband as more like Harry Enfield’s character Tim Nice But Dim than a future Prime Minister. Nice but dim: Harry Enfield's character Tim Nice But Dim (left) was hugely popular in the 1990s, but now voters associate the phrase with Labour under Ed Miliband (right)
@highlight

(CNN) -- At the Group of 20 summit in Mexico, President Barack Obama and Vladimir Putin had their first face-to-face meeting since Putin resumed the Russian presidency in May. The joint statement they issued afterward indicated several issues (including Iran and Syria) that the two sides would seek to cooperate on, but it did not announce any significant agreements to do so. More telling were the visual images when the two presidents were together; Obama appeared to be doing his best to project an image of warmth and friendliness, while Putin was stiff and reserved, as he usually is with other world leaders. It appeared that Obama was earnestly seeking to befriend Putin, but Putin was not reciprocating.

"It's been seven years, and a lot has changed," Hillary Clinton said Sunday in her first visit to Iowa since the state dealt her presidential campaign a devastating body blow. But there was a moment in the afternoon when it seemed like not much had. Roughly 200 credentialed media were gathered in a far corner of the Indianola Balloon Field, the grassy expanse where Sen. Tom Harkin was convening his 37th and final Steak Fry, an annual fundraiser that doubles as a point of entry for ambitious Democrats curious about the Iowa caucuses. After a 90-minute wait, the press scrum -- scribblers and photographers alike -- were herded like cattle through a series of gates and escorted up to a hot smoking grill, waiting to capture the same image: a staged shot of Bill and Hillary Clinton, fresh out of their motorcade, ritualistically flipping steaks with Harkin.

(CNN) -- The U.S. State Department said Sunday it was "deeply disturbed" at the deportation of 20 Uyghur asylum seekers from Cambodia back to China. The deportation "will affect Cambodia's relationship with the U.S. and its international standing," said acting State Department spokesman Gordon Duguid in a statement. It occurred on Saturday at the request of China, the U.S. said. "The United States is deeply concerned about the welfare of these individuals, who had sought protection under international law," Duguid said. "We are also deeply disturbed that the Cambodian government decided to forcibly remove the group without the benefit of a credible process for determining refugee status and without appropriate participation by the Office of the U.N. High Commissioner for Refugees."

(CNN)Russia's ambassador to Britain was summoned to the UK's Foreign Office on Thursday to explain why two Russian bombers were flying over the English Channel this week, a representative of the office said. Two Russian bombers "caused disruption to civil aviation" when they flew near, but did not cross into, British airspace on Wednesday, the Foreign Office representative said. Two UK Royal Air Force jets intercepted the bombers, both capable of carrying nuclear weapons, south of Bournemouth, England, over the English Channel, a UK defense spokesman said Thursday. The British jets escorted the bombers for about an hour-and-a-half until the bombers left the area, the defense spokesman said.

By John Greechan Glasgow 2014 has been dealt a serious blow after Jamaican sprint star Yohan Blake declared himself unavailable for next month’s Commonwealth Games – even though he’ll be competing in a Diamond League event at Hampden just days before the ‘main event’. With the chances of Usain Bolt making a rapid recovery in time to compete in the Games also look increasingly slim, according to reports in the Caribbean, the anticipated presence of Blake was viewed as a real consolation to sprint fans. But the former world champion’s manager confirmed yesterday that Blake, who suffered a series of injuries last season, was going to pick and choose his races this year. Which means focusing on the big money of the Diamond League.

The story began on Friday when Busted Coverage received an email from 'Brandon K', who had done a bit of Twitter sleuthing and discovered something fishy going on between Griffin, a young woman called Meredith Barber and William Mallow, one of Griffin's groomsmen, dating to the night of Griffin's wedding to Rebecca Liddicoat.
