Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez in coma



There are claims that the Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez is in an induced coma being kept alive by life support following complications during cancer surgery.
Sources at the hospital in Cuba where he is being treated told a Spanish newspaper he was showing 'very weak' vital signs, adding that doctors could decide to switch off the machines 'at any moment'.
With rumours swirling that Chavez had taken a turn for the worse, Venezuela's Vice President Nicolas Maduro said the ailing president's condition remains 'delicate' three weeks after his cancer surgery.
He did not provide further information about the president's condition and told Venezuelan's to  ignore speculation about his health.

Enthusiasts come within inches of death after military aircraft misses the runway



A crowd of about 1,000 had gathered to watch the final landing of the Transall C-160 military plane as it approached the Ballenstedt airfield in Saxony-Anhalt, central Germany. All appeared to be going smoothly until the pilot suddenly reported that he could not see the start of the runway from his cockpit - and came down on a side road where many of the spotters were standing. As some fled screaming in terror, the braver or more foolhardy stood their ground (circled), keeping their cameras trained on the 31-ton aircraft to catch every second of the action - video of which has now emerged online.
    

Nelson Mandela released from hospital



Nelson Mandela


Nelson Mandela was discharged from hospital on Wednesday night after undergoing nearly three weeks of treatment for a lung infection and gallstones.
A spokesman for President Jacob Zuma confirmed that Mr Mandela was transported to his home in Johannesburg’s Houghton neighbourhood, where he will continue to recover under the close watch of his personal doctors.
Mr Mandela, who is 94, was flown on December 8 from his rural residence in Qunu village to the capital Pretoria, where he spent 19 days in hospital receiving treatment for a recurring lung infection.
Doctors also discovered that he had developed gallstones and he had surgery to have them removed.
It was his longest hospital stay since coming out of prison in 1990 after 27 years in detention.
South Africa’s first black president spent Christmas Day in hospital, where he was visited by wife Graca Machel and members of the Mandela family, along with Mr Zuma, who said he was “looking much better” and “in good spirits”.
