Danny Baker is fired by the BBC for racist tweet likening royal baby to a monkey

English comedian, Danny Baker, 61, has been sacked from his job after he shared a racist tweet likening Meghan and Harry's baby to a monkey.

Shortly after The Duke and Duchess of Sussex introduced their newborn son to the world, Danny Baker took to Twitter to share a photo of a monkey dressed in a suit outside a hospital with a man and woman by his sides (read here). 

"Royal baby leaves hospital," he captioned the photo.

This caused outrage and he was called out for likening the royal baby to a monkey because his mother is half black. He immediately deleted the tweet and issued an apology, claiming his intention wasn't to be racist.

But the BBC Radio 5 Live host was fired from his position due to the controversial tweet. He revealed this in a tweet this morning writing: "Just got fired from @bbcradio5live."

David Beckham is banned from driving for 6-months and hit with a £750 fine after being caught using his phone while driving (Photos)..Come to Nigeria and Use your phone all u want, even if you'r flying a plane

Football legend, David Beckham has been banned from driving for six months and been ordered to pay a £750 fine after admitting using his phone while driving in November 2018.

The 44-year-old former England captain was sentenced at the Bromley Magistrates Court today. 

District judge, Catherine Moore who presided over the case gave him six points on his driving licence which already had six points on it from two previous speeding offences.

He appeared and confirmed his name as David Robert Joseph Beckham and gave his address as Holland Park, London.

According to Dailymail, Judge Moore ordered Beckham to stand up and then said: 'I take into account it was slow moving traffic but that's no excuse.

'It still creates a risk to others. I disqualify you for six months and that starts immediately.

'That's no driving a car or a motorcycle for a period of six months.'

She warned him that if he drove while disqualified it would be another offence.

He was fined £750 and had to pay prosecution costs of £100.

Matthew Spratt, the prosecuting solicitor, said: 'There are already six points for two speeding matters.

'On 21 November last year at 1pm the defendant was seen in a Bentley in slow moving traffic. He was seen by a member of the public looking at his lap.'

According to him, a member of the public spotted a mobile phone on Mr. Beckham's knee and took photographs of him.

Defence solicitor Gerrard Tyrrell said: 'Mr. Beckham has no recollection of the day in question or this particular incident. He has seen these photographs.

'It looks like it was stationary traffic. That's no excuse. As he can not remember he pleaded guilty which he has done.

'Mr Beckham likes driving. He drives a lot. He takes his children to school each day when he can and he picks them up when he can.'

Pope Francis announces new rule that'll hold bishops accountable for sexual abuses or cover ups in their jurisdictions

Pope Francis has announced that henceforth, bishops would be accountable for sexual abuses or cover ups in their jurisdictions.  

The pronouncement, which signaled a change in Catholic Church law makes reporting of sexual cases obligatory for clerics and allows anyone to complain directly to the Vatican if necessary.  

The papal decree, which covers abuse of children and adults, also obliges every Catholic diocese in the world to set up simple and accessible reporting systems and encourages local churches to involve lay experts in investigations. The decree, whose preparation was reported first by Reuters in April, is the second such papal provision since a summit on abuse by senior Church bishops at the Vatican in February.

Here's the real reason Barcelona team bus left Lionel Messi behind at Anfield after Liverpool defeat

Last night, the Barcelona team bus did not wait for Lionel Messi as it departed Anfield without the Argentine after the Champions League defeat to Liverpool.

Messi, who suffered a miserable night for his club as Liverpool completed a stunning comeback to knock Barca out of the Champions League was required to undergo a doping test immediately after the crushing defeat at Anfield. 

According to El Chiringuito, the process took so long that Barca’s team bus headed to the airport while Messi was still at Anfield. Messi was eventually able to provide a urine sample, while special arrangements were made to reunite the Argentine with the rest of the squad and coaching staff before they travelled back to Spain.

Messi also walked through the mixed zone at Anfield much later than the rest of Barca’s players but said nothing to the media as he was escorted out of the stadium.
