Kanye West and Kim Kardashian are accusing a YouTube co-founder of illegally publishing video of their engagement party to boost his new “foundering” website.

A lawsuit filed Thursday by the celebrity couple blasts Chad Hurley, accusing him of secretly recording West’s surprise proposal to Kardashian in the middle of San Francisco’s AT&TPark on October 21.

The video shows West kneeling near second base to ask Kardashian to marry him while a large orchestra plays in center field.

Hurley “finagled entry” into the birthday party that West threw for his girlfriend, although only “several dozen people” were invited, the lawsuit said. Although he tagged along with someone who was invited, he was permitted to stay “only after giving his word — including in writing — that he would not publish any aspect of the event.” The court filing includes a photo of Hurley purportedly holding the signed confidentiality agreement in his hand.

The video is titled “PLEEESE MARRY MEEE!!! Congrats Kim and Kanye!”

It is still posted on the website, and the counter indicates it has been viewed 1.6 million times.

Hurley and his company did not immediately respond to CNN requests for comment on the lawsuit.

Iran has launched its first submarine for tourists in the Persian Gulf waters, an all-Iranian-made undersea vehicle.

Friday’s report says the submarine will serve tourists in Kish Island, Iran’s prime tourist spot in the Gulf.

Morvarid has been entirely designed and manufactured by Iranian experts. The TV also says it has a speed of up to 12 knots, has a diesel generator but can be electrically-powered for up to six to 10 hours.

Բոսնիա,մասսայական գերեզման Investigators in Bosnia have uncovered a mass grave thought to contain several hundred bodies of victims of the conflict that followed the breakup of the former Yugoslavia two decades ago.

The remains are believed to be those of victims of Bosniak and Croat ethnicity from Prijedor and its surroundings, killed in the summer of 1992, according to the Prosecutor’s Office of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The site, at Tomasica in Prijedor municipality, is one of the biggest mass graves found in Bosnia and Herzegovina since the conflict, said Boris Grubesic, a spokesman for the prosecutor’s office.

As of Thursday, 231 complete bodies had been exhumed, as well as the body parts of another 112 people.

But, he added, the number found goes up by the day or even the hour.

More than 30 personal items have also been found, he said.

Excavation of the mass grave, which goes to a depth of 10 meters (33 feet), began in early September and is expected to continue into next week.

The remains are being taken to an identification center in Sanski Most, where they will remain until the forensic analysis and identification process is completed, the prosecutor’s office said.

Identification of the remains may help bring closure for the many families whose relatives vanished in the course of the conflict, which ended in 1995.

A ten-year-old boy has died after a teacher ‘told him’ to jump from a building.

The Chinese youngster, named as Jun Jun, fell 30 floors to his death after failing to write a self-criticism letter demanded by his teacher.

The fifth-grade primary school student had been told to write a 1,000-character apology by his teacher, Miss Chen, for talking in class.

His devastated parents have now launched a campaign against the extreme pressure put on Chinese students.

The child smashed into a parked car beneath the flat where his family live in Jinjiang district.

Due to China’s strict one-child policy, it is likely Jun Jun was the couple’s only child.

‘The police investigation is still under way,’ an official in Jinjiang district said, refusing to comment further, the Hindustan Times reported.

The boy’s school said today on its verified account on Sina Weibo, a Chinese equivalent of Twitter, that the child and some of his classmates had been ordered to write reviews of their behaviour after they disturbed a speaking competition.

He died ‘by accident’, it said.

 Located at the very border of the Armenia and Azerbaijan, Kayan-avan of the Tavoush region is a tiny village with 306 people living there. Yet, the Kayan-Avan secondary school N1 has about 140 schoolchildren actively participating in various events, contest and Olympiads all over the country. These were the main factors influenced the decision making about the project, since CRONIMET believes that improving conditions in such school at the border villages and regions would at least to some extent prevent people leaving their communities.

Thus, the assistance project was designed and launched with Kayan-Avan in September 2012, having its main goal of supporting educational activities in the regions to encourage children and youth to pursue and complete their education.  The building adjacent to the school has been planned to be fully renovated to serve as a pre-school for about 50-60 children.

 

Starting May 2013, major renovation of the pre-school building is undergone. The process has been is divided into two phases. The first phase included renovation of the roof and some preparatory works; while during the second phase the capital renovation of the full building has been carried out and concluded by October 2013. The investment made by the CRONIMET Charity Foundation totals to AMD 40 million.
