Huffington Post: Photographer Molhem Barakat Killed In Syria

Posted: 21 Dec 2013 08:16 AM PST


BEIRUT, Dec 21 (Reuters) - A Syrian photographer who took pictures for Reuters on a freelance basis has been killed while covering fighting in Aleppo, activists said.
Molhem Barakat died on Friday as he took photographs of a battle over a hospital between rebels and forces loyal to President Bashar al-Assad. Rebels had accused government forces of turning the Kindi Hospital into a barracks.
As well as covering the conflict, Barakat took pictures showing the life of ordinary Syrians in the divided city, which used to be Syria's commercial hub.
The civil war in Syria has claimed the lives of well over 100,000 people since 2011 and driven millions into neighbouring countries.
Barakat had sent Reuters dozens of pictures since May this year. Many of those pictures appeared in publications around the world. (Editing by Matthew Tostevin)

Huffington Post: Phil Robertson Will Return To 'Duck Dynasty' Episodes In January

Posted: 21 Dec 2013 08:21 AM PST

It looks like Phil Robertson's suspension from "Duck Dynasty" may be just for show. Entertainment Weekly learned that on Jan. 15, A&E will begin airing new episodes of the show that include scenes featuring the "Dynasty" patriarch.

"The network also hopes the media and fan furor will cool down over the holidays and that tensions over shooting future episodes can then be resolved," Entertainment Weekly reports. "There's no negotiation to have; we're doing the show," an inside source told them.

A&E suspended Robertson over anti-gay remarks he made in a GQ profile. The duck hunter-turned-TV star compared homosexuality to bestiality and also said, "It seems like, to me, a vagina -- as a man -- would be more desirable than a man's anus." Robertson responded to backlash about his comments by saying, "I would never treat anyone with disrespect just because they are different from me."
