Pilgrims killed in Hajj stampede

Ambulances and emergency crew are at the scene
At least 50 Muslim pilgrims have been killed in a crush in the stone-throwing ritual during the Hajj pilgrimage in Mina, Saudi Arabia, officials say.

A BBC correspondent at the scene said he saw dozens of bodies lined up on the ground, covered in white sheets.

The ritual has been marred by deadly stampedes in the past.

After a deadly stampede in 2004, the authorities built barriers and deployed tens of thousands of stewards in a bid to improve safety during the ceremony.

Since destructive or negative friends are not always that easy to spot, it may be a time to reevaluate your current friends, as well as to reassess past or potential friendships.

"Our Lord and Sustainer, do not condemn us if we forget or do wrong. Our Lord and Sustainer, do not put a burden on us like the burden You put on those who were before us. Our Lord and Sustainer, do not put a burden on us that we cannot endure. And blot out (our sins) and forgive us, and be gentle to us. You are our Protector. So help us against the rejectors."

More than 10m female births in India may have been lost to abortion and sex selection in the past 20 years, according to medical research.

Researchers in India and Canada for the Lancet journal said prenatal selection and selective abortion was causing the loss of 500,000 girls a year.

Their research was based on a national survey of 1.1m households in 1998.
