Now open!! Naked restaurant in Paris

Paris has finally opened a restaurant for diners who prefer to consume their food in the nude, unlike the rest of us who prefer to do the same thing in the privacy of our own homes.

The city’s very first nudist restaurant opened on Nov. 2 in the city’s 12th arrondissement.

Guests at the 40-seat eatery will reportedly be instructed to disrobe in a coat-check room (or more accurately, an everything-check room) before being brought to their tables. There, they’ll dine on fine French fare including duck foie gras and escargot.

The waiters and kitchen staff, meanwhile, will reportedly keep their clothes on for hygienic reasons.

Kenyan mother losses quintuplets

A Kenyan mother who gave birth to extremely rare naturally-conceived quintuplets has lost all five babies, according to a hospital in the south west of the country.

The mother, Jacintah Akinyi, 30 — who did not know she was carrying five babies — went into labour on Sunday and gave birth to two babies at home, who both died, before being transferred to the Kisii Teaching and Referral hospital.

Nurse Manager Florence Ogero said a third baby died that night, due to being underweight and suffering a condition caused by low levels of blood platelets.

“The other one had severe pneumonia and from all those birth-related complications, these babies have succumbed,” she told AFP.

“It was a premature delivery and the mother did not attend antenatal clinic. The multiple deliveries were diagnosed upon delivery so there was no anticipation,” she added.

Akinyi is already the mother of four children, and lost a fifth in an earlier pregnancy.

A plane passenger who spied on her husband’s phone and discovered he was having an affair mid-flight caused such a commotion the flight had to make an emergency landing.

Italy to probe death of 26 Nigerians

Italian prosecutors are investigating the deaths of 26 Nigerian women - most of them teenagers - whose bodies were recovered at sea.

There are suspicions that they may have been sexually abused and murdered as they attempted to cross the Mediterranean.

Five migrants are being questioned in the southern port of Salerno.

A Spanish warship, Cantabria, docked there carrying 375 migrants and the dead women, following several rescues.

Twenty-three of the dead women had been on a rubber boat with 64 other people.

Italian media report that the women's bodies are being kept in a refrigerated section of the warship. Most of them were aged 14-18.

Most of the 375 survivors brought to Salerno were sub-Saharan Africans, from Nigeria, Senegal, Ghana, The Gambia and Sudan, the daily La Repubblica reports.

Among them were 90 women - eight of them pregnant - and 52 children.

There were also some Libyan men and women on board.

People-smuggling gangs charge each migrant about $6,000 (£4,578) to get to Italy, $4,000 of which is for the trans-Saharan journey to Libya, according to the Italian aid group L'Abbraccio.

Many migrants have reported violence, including torture and sexual abuse, by the gangs
