BREAKIN NEWS Jules High School School sex video has been revealed and those who conerned will be arrested......CHECK HERE THE VIDEO (18 + ONLY)

The incident involving three school pupils caught on camera having sex while on school grounds was just “the tip of the iceberg”, says the Film and Publications Board.Chief executive Yoliswa Makhasi said they had been closely following the Jules High School case where a girl and two boys were filmed while having sex. Their main concern was that child pornography had been created and was then distributed.
The 15-year-old girl and one of the boys, a 14-year- old, were charged with consensual sexual penetration. The second boy, 16, was charged with statutory rape. All three have also been charged under the Sexual Offences and Film and Publication Act.
Makhasi said others who had the video clip or distributed it could also be charged.
“Regardless of their age or role in the incident, the children may be charged with the creation, production, distribution or possession of child pornography as this is illegal,” Makhasi said.
“We wish to send a strong message that anyone found guilty of producing child pornography may face a hefty jail term and/or fine. Those found in possession of or distributing child porn may also face harsh sentences.”
She said the board had picked up a number of cases where sex videos were filmed and distributed at schools. “We believe the issue of Jules is the tip of the iceberg.”
Makhasi said earlier this year officials had visited a number of schools in Cape Town where these videos had been distributed.
She said technology was bringing new challenges to schools and these had to be faced by the Department of Basic Education. The board had recently called on the department to include cyber safety content and awareness in the life skills curriculum.
Makhasi said schools had been invited to bring pupils’ sex videos to the board’s attention so teachers and pupils could be taught about appropriate behaviour.
But she said schools often did not want to bring videos to anyone’s attention because they were concerned about their reputation.
Makhasi said the incident at Jules High had drawn attention to the child pornography “crisis” faced by South Africa and urged internet service providers and cellphone operators to take action to prevent distribution.
She commended Vodacom, MTN and Cell C’s move this week to ban access to controversial chat site Outoilet.

Kidnapped boy raised by American ISIS woman in Raqqa

Dohuk, Iraq (CNN)Eight-year-old Ayham Azad loves America, insists on speaking only in English and says he wants to be "an American man" when he grows up.

But this Iraqi child's love for the United States comes from one of the darkest places on earth: Raqqa, the former capital of the so-called Islamic State, where he was raised in captivity by an ISIS fighter and his American wife.

"I like America. I want to go next, this family, I want to go next to her," Ayham says of the woman who helped raise him. "I was next to her, when I am in Raqqa. Her name was Um Yousuf."

Um Yousuf is Sam, an American woman and member of ISIS. Ayham says he loves her.

But she was also his captor.

ISIS captured Ayham Azad when he was 4 years old. He was put in the home of an American ISIS woman, who he says he loves.

In August 2014, ISIS overran Ayham's town in Iraq's Sinjar province and targeted its Yazidi population, members of a religious minority the terror group considers "devil worshippers."

Families were separated, women and girls taken as sex slaves, men of fighting age shot and killed, and boys abducted to be turned into child soldiers. Nearly 10,000 Yazidis were killed or kidnapped.

As the horrors unfolded, Ayham was by his mother's side while she was delivering a baby. By the time his brother was born, the three of them were trapped behind enemy lines, separated from the rest of their family.

Ayham was 4 years old when ISIS captured him. He was sold three times, passed from one household to another until he was taken by Sam and her husband, a jihadi of Moroccan descent. They lived in Raqqa, ISIS' former seat of power in Syria.

In their custody, he went from a little boy to a radical in training. Everything he knew was taken from him: his identity, his family, even his name, as the couple renamed him Abdullah.

Yazidi children at a refugee camp in Dohuk, Iraq

ISIS told him that he was to kill members of his own community. After that, Ayham began to conceal his background from people he met. "They said you have to kill. If you be back you have to kill every Yazidi," Ayham said, "I am not telling everybody I am Yazidi so nobody would kill me."

When we asked him if he wants to kill Yazidis, a look of horror formed on his face. "No, no, no," the child said.

A stolen childhood

Ayham quickly learned English and became friends with Sam's biological children, particularly 10-year-old Yousef, whom he described as his best friend.

One day, Ayham says, ISIS demanded that the pair appear in a foreign-language propaganda video. Sam tried to stop the group of militants from taking the boys away, but the fighters threatened her and said she had little choice.

"They put the gun in her head (and) they said you have to do it. And then she said OK and then they did it," Ayham said.

In the video, Ayham appears calm and content. Yousef is confident and outspoken.

"My message to Trump, the puppet of the Jews: Allah promised us victory, promised you defeat," Yousef says to the camera. "This battle is not going end in Raqqa or Mosul. It's gonna end in your lands."

The two boys are then seen loading ammunition into the magazine of an AK-47 and crouching behind a pockmarked wall as each trains his gun through a hole.

Ayman with his uncle, Tahsin Elias, who is now his guardian.

The footage offered Ayham's family the first proof of life they had seen in years, but it gave them little hope.

"We saw it on Facebook but this wasn't filmed by an organization or a news network. This was ISIS," his uncle Tahsin Elias recalled. "What could we do? We couldn't ask after him."

Ayham's story of the person who cared for him portrays Sam as a woman torn between her extreme indoctrination and her humanity.

The American woman would repeatedly tell Ayham to recite the names of his parents and siblings in hopes that he would one day find them.

"She tell me don't forget name your family," he said. "They can take me then I find my family."

That day came a few months ago, as the so-called caliphate crumbled under a US-backed coalition assault on Raqqa.

"Everybody was scared there," Ayham says, "Not just our house is bombing. They bombing everybody's house."

Sam's jihadi husband was killed in the bombardment. She tried to escape with four of her children as well as Ayham. But Syrian Kurdish forces captured her family, and returned Ayham to Iraq where he was reunited with his uncle.

"They say you have to go to your family and she has to go to her family," he says, recalling the moment he was separated from Sam's family.

Sam and her children are believed to still be detained.

An American woman who matches the physical description Ayham provided and goes by the name Sam was seen in the custody of the predominantly Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the Syrian Kurdish city of Hassakah just three weeks ago, according to a source who cannot be named for security reasons.

The last words Ayham uttered to his best friend Yousef were the mumblings of a child still unable to grasp the gravity of his situation.

"Yousef said to me, don't forget me," he giggled.

"And if I saw you and you told me, I forget you, I am going to poop on your head."

Warped world

Ayham is struggling to accept his new reality. It is a hard one to come to grips with: ISIS kidnapped his mother and her fate remains unknown. His father has remarried and moved on from the family.

His baby brother, who was born during ISIS' assault in Sinjar, was also kidnapped and recently rescued by a Kurdish activist. His uncle Tahsin, who already has nine children in his care, is his only guardian.

Ayham's brother was kidnapped during ISIS' conquest of Sinjar.

Twice a week, Ayham sees a counselor in a nearby refugee camp. He struggles to grasp who his true family is -- his biological family, or the ISIS family who raised him for half his life.

"He thinks of this family in Syria a lot. He was with them for three years, and he can't stop thinking of them," his uncle says, "but he also thinks of his (biological) mother. He remembers her. He is a smart boy."

Ayham is generally outgoing, enjoys teasing his siblings and constantly speaks in English, although few in the Iraqi Kurdish region understand him. When asked about his time in Syria's Raqqa, his personality quickly shifts.

Ayham says he dreams of going to America and meeting the American ISIS member who cared for him.

His ever-present smile disappears from his face. He becomes soft-spoken and looks down to avoid eye contact.

Ayham holds on to hope that he can be reunited with his ISIS family.

He is obsessed with the idea of going to America, a near magical world in his mind where he can return to the only constant figure in his life, Sam, and the warped world she created for him.

"I want to see if Sam if she went to America or if she don't went because America is better from here," Ayham says when asked why he wants to go to the US. "Because here there is no one he know English. Just in America they all speak just English."

Javier Bardem: the Antarctic's penguins need us

I have a picture in my head. It's impossible to fully convey, but it is a part of me.I am sitting in a secluded bay. My hands are resting on the sand as a breeze drifts over the blue-green ripples by the shore. Boulders thrust out of the sea. They are teeming with small black and white penguins, waddling across the rocks and dropping into the ocean. It is magical: a window onto a little world which will continue long after I leave.Twenty years later, this image now exists only in my head and in my heartYou're probably reading this on your phone. Or maybe your computer screen. The world around you is frozen. The light of your screen is your focus. You are removed from your surroundings.

Screens are so often our window onto the world. We filter the infinite currents of information and images through them. They shape how we think and they catalogue our experiences.

That's why I've never been on social media. And it's also why I've just joined social media.

Right now, the window I'm looking through is not a screen. It's round. It's a porthole on a ship, and a portal to a majestic world of towering ice and shimmering sea and an abundance of life.

I'm lucky enough to be directly experiencing the Antarctic and the vast blue wonder of its ocean. Penguins are plunging into the water, just like in my memory of Boulder Beach in Cape Town. If I'm even luckier I'll see the great whales, leopard seals and a whole other existence down at the bottom of our planet. It feels a lifetime away from my home in Madrid.

Which brings me back to social media. Last week I joined Twitter and Instagram -- not to share updates about my breakfast -- but to share this journey I am taking to the end of the Earth.

Adélie penguins in Hope Bay on Trinity Peninsula, Antarctica.

I've joined a Greenpeace expedition to bring the incredible diversity of life in the Antarctic closer to home for people who may never get a chance to see it. Because we're all connected to what happens here, even if we don't know it.

And I want to use social media to urge you to join me. To join me not just on this voyage, but in a mission to create the largest wildlife reserve that the world has ever seen: an Antarctic Ocean Sanctuary.

This planet is a blue planet. Two-thirds of it is covered by seas which produce so much oxygen that they give us every second breath we take. The oceans are far bigger than every continent combined, but climate change, pollution and overfishing are killing them.

Now for the good news. This year we have an opportunity to create the largest protected area on Earth in the Antarctic Ocean. It would not only protect the vibrant life here, like Emperor penguins and blue whales, but it would ensure a healthy ocean to help mitigate against the worst effects of climate change. It would be over three times bigger than my home country of Spain and 200 times the size of Yellowstone National Park.

It would mean humans couldn't exploit the area, like the fishing vessels which catch Antarctic krill, a tiny creature like a shrimp which is one of the most important species in the food web down here, eaten by Adélie penguins, humpback whales and almost everything else.

The proposal to create this vast marine reserve is being put forward by the EU when the Antarctic Ocean Commission meets this October. It covers a huge area in the Weddell Sea and around the Antarctic Peninsula, which otherwise could see expansion by the krill fishing industry to make products like Omega 3 fish oil and feed for fish farms.

Gentoo penguins in front of Greenpeace ship the Arctic Sunrise in Hope Bay on Trinity Peninsula, Antarctica.

In this region, where marine life is already under acute pressure, these vessels could end up competing for food with penguins and whales, in the foraging grounds they rely on.

Beyond protecting marine life, scientists are only just beginning to understand the crucial role that healthy oceans play in avoiding the worst impacts of climate change, as oceans act as carbon sinks. This process could be even more significant in the polar regions.

The members of the Antarctic Ocean Commission, including the US, EU, Russia and China, have already shown that they can put aside their differences for the sake of our oceans. Just last month a massive marine reserve came into force in the Ross Sea in the Antarctic. It was a triumph of international cooperation and will have a tremendous impact in safeguarding marine life. But if we're to rise to the challenges the oceans are facing, we have to think even bigger.

I have an image in my head. It's a huge expanse of pristine sea and ice, of bustling penguin colonies, and a safe haven for blue whales: the largest animals the world has ever known. It is a natural world free to thrive because we have allowed it to, and because as a race, we humans know the impact that we can have. It's a vision to protect the Antarctic.

Day of bombshells takes Mueller probe to critical point

The Washington Post reported that Trump had asked then acting FBI director Andrew McCabe who he voted for in the 2016 election in an introductory Oval Office meeting and criticized his wife's Democratic affiliation, in a move that infringed customary treatment of a civil servant.

And there are signs Rick Gates, the former Trump campaign staffer who pleaded not guilty in October to eight charges of money laundering and failing to register foreign lobbying and other business, may be ready to cooperate with Mueller, CNN's Katelyn Polantz reported Tuesday night.

And on a day of intense drama, efforts by Republicans to discredit the Russia probe gathered pace, as the White House said Trump was ready to declassify a memo written by GOP committee staff in the House claiming misconduct by FBI officials investigating the President.

Four Trump associates have so far been charged in the Mueller investigation, but there is still neither proof of wrongdoing by the President nor indications of the special counsel's eventual conclusions.

Yet the prospect of the President of the United States testifying to the investigation would lift the intrigue to an unprecedented level, and would be a spectacle not seen since Bill Clinton's grand jury appearance 20 years ago that led to his eventual impeachment over an affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky.

Would Trump/Mueller meeting signal end of probe? 05:18

The fact that Mueller's team has already spoken to Comey and Sessions and now wants to talk to the President suggests the investigation into whether Trump obstructed justice by asking the former FBI director to go easy on former national security adviser Michael Flynn and then fired him when he demurred, is at an advanced stage. CNN also reported last week that Trump's former top political adviser Steve Bannon had struck a deal to be interviewed by Mueller's prosecutors.

"It seems to indicate that the investigation is in its 11th hour," said Jens David Ohlin, a professor and vice dean at Cornell Law School.

Ohlin said the seniority of those questioned points to Mueller reaching a defining moment at least in the obstruction of justice portion of an investigation that is also considering whether anyone in the Trump campaign broke the law by cooperating with a Russian election meddling effort.

"We are at the top of the heap politically with Steve Bannon. We are at the top of the heap in terms of law enforcement in terms of the attorney general and the former head of the FBI," said Ken Cuccinelli, Virginia's former Republican attorney general.

"It strikes me they are getting near the end of gathering all their information, and then ... they are going to have to process that and make some decisions about how to proceed," Cuccinelli told CNN.

The interview request suggests that Mueller is proceeding in classic fashion, working his way from the broadest point of the investigation to the key figure, with Trump at the tip of the triangle.Trump has consistently denied any collusion with Russia, has said he did not obstruct justice in firing Comey and has branded the entire episode a "hoax" and a "witch hunt" against him.

The fact that Mueller has come this far does suggest that he believes at the very least there is "something there" in the possible obstruction case, Ohlin said: "I don't think it is just out of an abundance of diligence. He's doing it because he sees something problematic with Comey's dismissal. If there is truly nothing there, it is very easy to investigate it because there is just nothing to grasp onto."

The latest reports shed new light on Trump's potential exposure, noting that the special counsel's office has indicated it wants to talk to Trump about Flynn's exit and Comey's dismissal.

The Washington Post also said Mueller was interested in Trump's efforts to remove Sessions or to pressure him into quitting, quoting a source familiar with the investigation as saying the special counsel wanted to assess whether there was a "pattern" of behavior by the President.

3 more months of the Mueller investigation? Papadopoulos filing signals it's likely

Still, as Mueller has shown -- for instance in surprise indictments and plea deals last year -- no one outside his investigation can accurately assess his intentions or its scope.

"We also don't know if it will lead to anything at all. Sometimes you get to the end of an investigation and you have the final interview to check the box," former US Attorney Preet Bharara said on the "Situation Room" on Tuesday. "It may be that this will lead to something very significant and earth-shattering and earth-shaking for the country, it also could be something they are just putting to bed."

Trump's lawyers could offer written answers from the President to the special counsel's questions -- a step many legal analysts suspect will not go far enough for Mueller. Another option might be a formal interview with Trump's lawyers present, which would allow them to restrain their star witness, who is often voluble and imprecise and economical with the truth in a way that could lead him into jeopardy from Mueller's crack team of prosecutors.

Refusing Mueller's request could force the special counsel to subpoena the President to testify to a grand jury, a step that would put him in an even more perilous situation.

Evangelicals giving Trump 'mulligan' on his past 05:21

Tuesday's developments also shed new light on Trump's potential vulnerability. Mueller is now armed with the testimony of Comey, Sessions and that of a cooperating witness Flynn, all of whom could have shed light on crucial conversations with the President.

He likely also has a large quantity of evidence from other sources, including interviews, emails and other testimony and doubtlessly already knows the answer to many of the questions he will pose to Trump, putting the President on thin ice if he is not completely truthful.

Mueller also has the benefit of contemporaneous memos written by Comey after several meetings with the President in which he detailed what he later said was an effort by the President to develop a inappropriate relationship of "patronage" with him.

Trump said last year that he would be "100 percent" willing to testify to Mueller under oath. CNN has reported that some of the President's friends and associates have warned him not to put himself in legal jeopardy by voluntarily submitting to an interviews. Earlier this month, Trump appeared to walk back on the prospect of meeting Mueller.

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said Tuesday that the White House is "fully cooperative" with Mueller but believes the American people are ready to move on. But a new CNN poll appeared to counter that assertion, finding that 8 in 10 people said Trump should testify to Mueller if asked, including 59% of Republicans.

Schumer rescinds offer to Trump to fund the wall in an immigration deal

The Senate's Democratic leader, Chuck Schumer, is taking back his offer to President Trump to fund his "big beautiful wall."

"The wall offer is off the table," Schumer told reporters on Tuesday. "That was part of a package" that's now defunct. 

Schumer first made the offer on Friday during a meeting with Trump at the White House, part of negotiations to avert a government shutdown. Schumer said he put Trump's “signature campaign issue on the table in exchange" for legal protections DREAMers, young immigrants brought to the U.S. illegally as children. 

"It was the first thing the president and I talked about," Schumer said Tuesday. "The thought was we could come to an agreement that afternoon, the president would announce his support, and then the Senate and the House would get it done and it would be on the president's desk. He didn’t do that, so we’re going to have to start on a new basis." 

Late Tuesday, Trump delivered a direct message to Schumer, saying there will be no agreement protecting DREAMers without funding for his promised border wall. 

"Cryin’ Chuck Schumer fully understands, especially after his humiliating defeat, that if there is no Wall, there is no DACA," Trump tweeted, adding: "We must have safety and security, together with a strong Military, for our great people!"
