Melbourne/London, Aug. 4 : Britain’s defence chiefs have admitted that their servicemen were exposed to dangerous radiation levels during nuclear tests in Australia and the South Pacific in the 1950s.

The admission, made after years of denials, features in papers filed with the High Court in London by Ministry of Defence lawyers.

The Sunday Mirror newspaper said the court papers revealed that the ministry now believed that nuclear tests were responsible for the deaths of some British servicemen.

The ministry insisted that only 159 men were affected out of the 20,000 who were present.

London, August 4 : Astrophysicists have determined that bright flares emitted by a retinue of captured stars could detect a black hole ejected from its host galaxy.

When two supermassive black holes collide, one or both may be hurled from the centre of the galaxy. Some such “recoiling” black holes can be detected by their accretion discs of swirling, glowing hot gas.

However, most black holes are stripped of their accretion discs as they are thrown into exile.

Even if they keep their discs, the black holes can consume them within tens of millions of years, leaving nothing behind but a naked, invisible black hole.

London, Aug 4 : Austrian prosecutors are mulling over whether to charge Dungeon dad Josef Fritzl, 73, with slavery to maximise the time he serves in jail.

Fritzl has admitted to having imprisoned his daughter Elisabeth for 24 years in a secret cellar beneath his home in Amstetten, where he fathered six children with her.

While he kept three of the incest children with him and his wife Rosemarie, 68, in their upstairs apartment, the other three lived with Elisabeth in the concrete bunker until police rescued them on April 26.

London, Aug 4 : Dungeon dad Josef Fritzl’s wife Rosemarie, 69, claims that even she is a victim of the horrendous crimes committed by her husband.

She says that she “lives like an animal” in hiding as she is afraid of being seen in public. 

She insists that she was unaware of the secret cellar beneath her home in Amstetten, Austria, where her husband had kept their daughter Elisabeth as a sex slave in a cellar beneath their ancestral home for 24 long years, and fathered six children with her.
