Pic shows: The graphic designs of Turkish artist Ugur Gallen who depicts the contrast between war and peace. A young artist is building a huge online following with his powerful images that highlight the contrasts of war and peace and egalitarianism and inequality. Turkish artist Ugur Gallen explained on social media: "I live in Turkey, which happens to be located next door to one of the most dangerous regions in the modern world. "The contrast between these territories reflects two different worlds for me, and it inspired me to portray this in my work. I wish a peaceful future." The Istanbul-based artist uses graphic designs that use contradictory images to make a powerful point. Some pictures use modern iconic photos while others are blended with famous paintings. One design uses the image of the drowned Syrian toddler Alan Kurdi on a holiday beach scene next to a bucket and spade. Another design blends the 1818 painting ‘Wanderer above the Sea of Fog’ by Caspar David Friedrich with a photo of a man looking down on a bombed-out city. Gallen also merged the top half of the iconic photo of the four Beatles crossing Abbey Road by Scottish photographer Iain Macmillan with the bottom half of four prisoners being hanged in Iran. Gallen has quickly built up an Instagram following of 127,000 people and accompanies his hard-hitting images with the hashtag: "ParallelUniverseWarPeace" (translation).

Pic Shows: The people hiding during the terror attack in Barcelona; These are the startling images taken during the Barcelona terror attacks which show an ice-cream shop owner herding tourists into his shop and lowering the shutters to protect them. The video was taken during the terrorist attacks in Barcelona on the 17th August 2017 but have only just been released by Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia. In the video, the owner of the ice-cream shop on the famous La Rambla street in Barcelona city centre can be seen looking bewildered as dozens of people come streaming into his shop. The owner then quickly realises something serious is happening and climbs over the counter before herding people into the shop for protection. He then begins lowering the shutters to protect those inside, stopping halfway down to allow others to get in. Terrified tourists and locals can be then seen consoling each other during the attack which saw 22-year-old Younes Abouyaaqoub drive a van into pedestrians on La Rambla, killing 13. The videos were published by La Vanguardia as part of the summary of the case instructed by the National Court. Spanish newspaper El Periodico report that Catalan police had identified four members of the terrorist cell who carried out the attack a month before it happened. A patrol car on an industrial estate in the Badalona area of the city had identified Omar Hichamy, Mohamed Houli, Said Aalla and Moussa Oukabir on July 9th. The National Court’s report states that it is "very likely" the four had gone to the industrial estate to buy materials needed to carry out the attacks "that they had in mind to carry out". Moussa Oukabir, Omar Hichamy and Said Aalla were shot dead by police on 18th August after driving an Audi A3 into a crowd of pedestrians in the town of Cambrils just outside Barcelona. Mohamed Houli survived an explosion in the municipality of Alcanar on 16th August which killed two. The explosion was caused by stock-piled explosives

Pic Shows: The Miss Bum Bum models dancing sensually while dressed in Christmas attire; This is the moment four Miss BumBum winners line up as sexy Santas and perform a choreographed festive twerk. The four Miss BumBum champs got together to create a super-charged version of a famous scene from the 2004 hit teen flick ‘Mean Girls’. The ‘BumBums of Christmas Past’ are, from left to right in the video, Erika Canela (winner in 2016), Carine Felizardo (2012), Rosie Oliveira (2017) and Suzy Cortez (2015). The four Brazilian stunners replicated the famous ‘Mean Girls’ scene which featured Lindsay Lohan, Rachel McAdams, Amanda Seyfried and Lacey Chabert dancing to ‘Jingle Bell Rock’ as sexy Santas. In the video footage, the four BumBums are seen lined up in a row. Choreographed by Daniel Manzioni, they perform a dance routine dressed in sexy festive getup that includes black stockings and a Santa hat. The music then changes to something raunchier and the BumBum winners raise the tempo and throw in some twerking moves. A blooper clip was also released by the Miss BumBum organisers, showing Felizardo and Canela crashing into each other during the dance routine. The mishap caused leggy 2017-winner Oliveira to fall to the floor as the others laugh. The Brazilian beauty pageant, which aimed to discover the best bum in the South American country, is now becoming an international contest and as of next year it will be renamed Miss BumBum World. The first ever Miss BumBum World contest will take place in July in Mexico.

Pic Shows: The father, Admir Sovic, and his three children; A father has reportedly murdered his three young children before committing suicide because his wife left him. The incident took place in Mali Lug in the city of Bihac in north-western Bosnia and Herzegovina when Admir Sovic, 37, hanged himself after allegedly killing his seven-year-old son Ahmir, five-year-old daughter Neila, and two-year-old son Ajlan. According to local media, his wife Leila had decided to leave him 20 days prior to the family members’ deaths and he told her that he would kill himself and the children if she went through with it. Sovic reportedly planned it all over several days and even told a friend what he was about to do. Yet no-one acted to stop him or believed him. His social media profile was full of pictures of his kids, and he recently spoke about finding a woman to help him take care of the children. The crime was reported by his brother-in-law who was living with Sovic in the same house. Neighbours said that they did not know him or his wife because they were new to the area. The investigation is ongoing. Netizen ‘Lilika’ commented "I wonder how the mother could have left her three young children like that." ‘N N’ said: "Terrifying. Poor kids, living at home with monsters like that." ‘Stana’ asked: "To the mother, what kind of person did you leave your children with? Terrifying!"
