Embattled Merkel draws up new measures to tackle migrationGerman Chancellor Angela Merkel has drawn up a raft of measures to tighten controls on the influx of migrants, according to a document submitted to her coalition partners Saturday as she battles for political survival. Merkel has also secured deals with 14 EU member states to take back from Germany asylum-seekers already registered in those countries, coalition sources said, agreements that could placate hardline rebels in her government. The move comes after the European Union's 28 members hammered out a hard-fought deal Friday to tackle migration and avert a crisis that has threatened the very fabric of the bloc.

Somebody bought $1 million worth of toys for local kids as Toys 'R' Us closed for goodA kind samaritan made the closure of Toys 'R' Us a little easier for the children of North Carolina who don't wanna grow up.  The future youth of America will never know the overwhelming feeling of joy while running through the aisles of the giant toy chain. After filing for bankruptcy in September, more than 700 Toys 'R' Us stores will be closing for good on Friday. SEE ALSO: Please enjoy this wonderful dog frolicking through a homemade ball pit An anonymous person purchased $1 million worth of toys from a Toys 'R' Us in Raleigh, North Carolina, local outlet CBS 17 reports. The toys will reportedly be donated to local children, according to employees who work at the store.  Instead of opening the store one last time on Friday, employees spent the day packing up boxes and putting them on a truck for the generous person.  Customers looking to get some last minute deals were greeted with locked doors, though some didn't seem to mind upon hearing the news.  "Oh, that's so nice. I'm happy to hear that," Erin Sampson told CBS 17. "That's great. I'd like to know who it is," said Danyel Smith. It's unclear when or how the purchased toys will be distributed to the kids.

Zara and Mike Tindall name their daughter Lena Elizabeth in nod to the Queen

Posted: 28 Jun 2018 04:34 AM PDT

Zara and Mike Tindall name their daughter Lena Elizabeth in nod to the QueenZara and Mike Tindall have named their new baby daughter Lena Elizabeth in a nod to the Queen, but their younger girl's forename has raised some eyebrows.  Lena Elizabeth Tindall, was born at Stroud Maternity Unit in Gloucestershire on Monday, June 18, weighing 9lb 3oz.  A spokeswoman for the couple said: "It was just a name they liked." But Lena has a multitude of meanings.  The name is a diminutive from Elena, which is an Ancient Greek name that means light, according to the London-based translation agency KL Translations Ltd.  But when taken from Latin as a noun, Lena means a female pimp or a woman who entices, allures or seduces.  The name is popular in Scandinavia, particularly in Sweden, where it is used both as a male and female forename. It is also a relatively common girl's name in Wales.  The newest addition to the royal family is a younger sister to four-year-old Mia Tindall. Lena is 19th in line to the throne, and the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh's seventh great-grandchild. The baby is also a second cousin to Prince George and Princess Charlotte and their younger brother Prince Louis, who was born just under two months ago. Line of succession to the British throne She is not an HRH, does not have a title and will be simply Miss Tindall. The family are said to be adapting well to becoming a family of four. Zara, a champion equestrian rider who won a team silver in the London 2012 Olympics, and former England rugby captain Tindall have been together for 15 years and married in Edinburgh in July 2011. The new baby is thought to be the heaviest royal baby in recent years, taking over the record from Zara's niece Savannah Phillips, who was 8lb 8oz when born in 2010. When Zara - daughter of the Princess Royal - was born in 1981, she had no right to a title, being born down the female line as the offspring of a daughter of a sovereign.
