President Obama and the First Lady open up about their life together and last days in the White House. 
As many Americans waited into the wee hours of election night to find out who would be voted the nation’s next president, First Lady Michelle Obama says she was not among them.
Instead, she was fast asleep in her White House bed.

In a joint interview with President Barack Obama for this week’s PEOPLE cover story, the first lady breaks her silence on President-elect Donald Trump‘s stunning victory, and reveals why she didn’t stay up to see the results.
“I went to bed. I don’t like to watch the political discourse; I never have,” Obama tells PEOPLE, adding of her husband, “I barely did with him.”
The first lady was one of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton‘s most powerful surrogates on the campaign trail, where she delivered passionate speeches about the dangers of electing Trump, being careful all the while to avoid mentioning him by name. Her now-famous mantra, “When they go low, we go hi…

Pakistani International Airline flight PK-661 has been found where it crashed in Havelian, Pakistan not long after a distress call was made to the control tower. Sadly all on board are feared dead, including Junaid Jamshed- a popular Pakistani singer-turned-evangelist, his wife and Deputy Commissioner Chitral Osama Warraich.
Daniyal Gilani, the spokesperson for the Pakistani International Airline, said that there were 42 passengers, 5 crew members and one ground engineer on the flight. Taj Muhammed Khan, a government official, told Reuters that all the bodies recovered were burnt beyond recognition.


So far 21 bodies have been recovered from the wreckage and an eyewitness described them as “not intact”, stating that it was impossible to tell the women apart from the men. “They are just arms and legs.” Jumma Khan, the eyewitness, said. The cause of the crash points towards engine failure. Television reports blame the crash on a technical fault in the left engine, however, t…

Nigeria's women's team are continuing to refuse to leave a hotel in Abuja until they are paid allowances and bonuses for winning the Women's Africa Cup of Nations.
The Super Falcons, who clinched their eighth African title on Saturday with a 1-0 win over hosts Cameroon, are protesting over the Nigeria Football Federation's failure to pay them US$17,150 per player for their success.
It is alleged the NFF had also pledged to pay outstanding allowances for qualifying and their win bonuses [US$6,500] before the start of the competition.

One of the players told BBC Sport that their sit-in at the Agura hotel in the capital will not end until they receive all bonuses, which totals US$23,650 per player.
"We are not leaving this hotel and we have not been told exactly when we are going to get paid," the player, who insisted on anonymity, told BBC Sport.
"The plan is to stay here until we all receive the money because the moment we leave there will be no opp…

Apple has blamed "external factors" for a handful of iPhone battery "fires" in China.
Eight users have complained to Shanghai's consumer watchdog that their iPhone 6 series handsets spontaneously combusted or exploded.
The US tech giant said it had conducted tests on the devices and had found "no cause for concern with these products".
One technology analyst told the BBC she did not believe it to be a widespread problem.

Apple said the iPhones had external physical damage "which led to the thermal event".
The watchdog's report quoted one woman as saying her iPhone 6S Plus exploded in August, shattering the screen and leaving the battery and back of the phone blackened.
The regulator refers to combustion and smoking, but it is not clear whether flames were seen.
'Top priority'
Apple has denied that it was slow to respond to consumer complaints raised by the state-run Shanghai Consumer Council.
'We treat safety as a top priority an…

Police in Tema have arrested five macho men for causing discomfort to voters at the Datus Complex School polling station in Tema.

The Tema regional police PRO, ASP Juliana Obeng told Joy News that the men were picked following complaints from voters that their presence made them feel “uncomfortable and intimidated".

She said upon interrogation, the men confessed that they were not registered voters at the centre but could not tell their main purpose for being at the station.

The five were said to have gone very close to the polling area, without accreditation and were disrupting the process. They were brought to the area by an unnamed parliamentary aspirant to help police the process.

Once they were not registered voters in the polling station, they had no business being there. ASP Obeng said they were arrested for interrupting the process.

The five men, according to ASP Obeng are being held at the Datus Police station to assist the police in further investigation.

Rapper Big Syke, who was a longtime friend and collaborator of Tupac Shakur's, has died, according to reports.
Syke — whose real name is Tyruss Himes — was found dead inside his Hawthorne, Calif., home on Monday night and no foul play is suspected, TMZ reported.

US President-elect Donald Trump has been named Time magazine's Person of the Year for 2016.
The property tycoon was awarded the title following his unexpected victory over Hillary Clinton in November's presidential election.
Mr Trump told NBC's Today show shortly after the announcement it was a "great honour" which "meant a lot" to him.

He was chosen from a shortlist that included Mrs Clinton and Russian President Vladimir Putin. The former leader of the UK Independence Party, Nigel Farage, was also on the list for his role in the successful campaign for Britain to leave the European Union.
Mrs Clinton came second in the selection, Time's managing editor Nancy Gibbs said, adding that the choice of Mr Trump was "straightforward".
Time said the president-elect had redrawn America's political rules.
The magazine invites readers to vote on who they think has earned the title, but the final decision is made by editors.
Others considered incl…

Polls are due to open in Ghana's presidential election, after all seven candidates aligned behind a pledge to keep the process peaceful. An opposition supporter died after a campaign rally turned violent, police confirmed on Tuesday.
The leading candidates are incumbent President John Mahama and former foreign minister Nana Akufo-Addo. After polls close on Wednesday evening, official results are expected within three days.
The candidates signed a pact last week vowing to follow electoral rules and keep the peace. But clashes broke out on Monday in Chereponi, a small northern town on the border with Togo. Six people are said to be in a critical condition as a result.
The campaign has been dominated by the faltering state of Ghana's economy and the issue of corruption. Mr Akufo-Addo is hoping it will be third time lucky for him and the centre-right New Patriotic Party, after two failed attempts in running for the country's top job. President Mahama of the National Democratic Congress…

On Monday, Nicki Minaj posted a video to Instagram of an unidentified woman in Miami, who stands on the sidewalk, drinking from a blue cup and smoking a cigarette. In the video, the woman shouts something at Minaj’s car before walking away. 
“What you said? Miss? C’mere… What did I do?,” Minaj says as the woman trails off. 

Minaj appears to have posted the video for entertainment; she captioned it with a laughing-crying emoji, and she starts laughing toward the end.

In the comments on Minaj’s videos, several users claimed they’ve seen the same woman around Miami, and that she’s known for approaching strangers. As such, it’s thought the woman may be mentally ill, and Minaj’s mocking tone drew criticism from the local chapter of the National Alliance on Mental Illness.
“Nobody would make fun of a cancer patient, and mental illness is an illness like any other,” NAMI-Miami told TMZ.
Minaj has yet to respond to the criticism. See her original Instagram video here

Beyonce has scooped nine nominations for the 2017 Grammy Awards, extending her lead as the most-nominated woman in Grammys history. The star is up for the main prize, album of the year, for her ambitious visual album, Lemonade, which tackles themes of race and female identity.
Her single Formation is also up for song and record of the year. In all three categories, she is up against Adele - who previously won the ceremony's top three prizes in 2012. Beyonce now has 62 Grammy nominations across her work as a solo artist and as part of Destiny's Child, making her the fourth most-nominated artist ever. She has won 20 trophies altogether, although she has yet to clinch the album of the year prize, having been beaten to the title by Beck in 2015 - much to the disgust of Kanye West, who stormed the stage in protest. West receives eight nominations this year for his album The Life Of Pablo - all in the rap categories. Drake and Rihanna also have eight nominations, including three for their …

A lorry driver, Neville Fletcher, ignored a red light at a pedestrian crossing, leading to the death of a mother-of-two and her daughter. A CCTV camera on the street captured Mr. Fletcher as he ran into 43-year-old Zena Jackson and her six-year-old daughter, Cidalia, near Stanley Street in Spring Bank, Hull, UK.

When Fletcher arrived before the Hull Magistrate Court, the presiding Judge, Jeremy Richardson QC, said that no sentence imposed on the offender can make up for the loss the family has suffered. Fletcher’s lawyer pleaded on his client’s behalf saying that he has been a decent man all his life and that Fletcher does not understand how he ran the red light. The 55-year-old is said to be both devastated and remorseful.
Speaking about her mother, Sadie, the surviving child of the deceased said, "She had a brilliant sense of humour and used to laugh and joke all the time. She was just funny. When you did something bad, she was a real mum, but when you were good, she was like a f…
