Pic Shows: A public bus out of control on a slippery downhill road, hits a stuck car whose driver runs for his life as he comes out of the car and gets hit by the bus; This is the near-death moment a slipping bus smashes into a car as the motorist jumps out and slides on the ice right in front of it as bystanders scream. The near-miss took place in the city of Kayseri in the central Turkish province of the same name following a period of freezing temperatures and hazardous road conditions. In the video footage, a car is seen sliding to a stop with its back end hanging out into the road. As the motorist slowly gets out of the driver’s seat, the bus is seen approaching the vehicle unable to slow down on the slippery road. A crowd of onlookers can see what is about to happen and start shouting at the driver to get out of the way. With the out-of-control bus just feet from his car, the man scrambles out of the driver’s seat and starts to run just as the bus crashes into the his car, sending it spinning onto the pavement. The man meanwhile continues to run down the slippery road with the huge vehicle centimetres behind him and at one point he slumps on his backside and uses the icy downhill slope to pick up some speed in a bid to get out of the way of the bus. Meanwhile, the bus’ brakes screech as the driver tries to bring the heavy vehicle to a stop. The man arrives at the group of onlookers a split second before the bus, and several men grab him and pull him clear in the nick of time. The bus’s wheels lock as the vehicle skids to a stop several metres further down the road with the passengers staring out of smashed windows in disbelief. The motorist is not believed to have been injured.

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: A driver stops in the busy traffic of Istanbul in order to help a stray dog to cross the road; This is the moment a besuited motorist slams on the brakes in the middle of a motorway to help a stray dog to safety. The eccentric man's dangerous act of kindness was caught on CCTV cameras in Turkey's biggest city of Istanbul. The driver pulled up after spotting the dog near the central reservation of the busy motorway from where it was unable to reach the other side. As other motorists are seen being forced to pull up behind him, the man gets out of his car and goes to help the dog. The man, seen wearing a smart business suit, escorts the mutt across the road while holding up his arms to make other drivers give way. His good deed ends with the stray dog successfully making its way across the motorway and ducking under the crash barrier. The video was spotted and shared on social media by Murat Kazanasmaz, who works for the city's traffic department. He commented: "What a good thing - a gentleman takes the dog in the middle of the road to a safe place." Netizens also queued up to congratulate the man such as 'Mehmet Yilmaz' who said: "Well Done! This is a real human!" 'Aslankral Murat Durdagi Ulug' agreed: "Life is so simple actually, if we only did what we are supposed to do, everybody would live peacefully." However, 'aliye_' argued: "Now is this the right thing? What about the vehicles that came behind? If they came too fast, there would be injuries! Please don't encourage such things!" Istanbul is famous for its thousands of stray dogs and cats which are mostly well cared for by local residents who put out food and warm bedding for them in winter.
