Prime minister says IS fighter’s son can return to Australia

CANBERRA, May 8: Australia’s prime minister says a 6 -year-old Australian boy photographed making an Islamic State movement salute in front of a human body hanging from a cross somewhere in the Middle East is entitled to return to Australia with his siblings.

Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull said today such children who returned from the battle fields of Syria and Iraq would be subjected to “the closest attention” to ensure Australian are safe.

Australian media have published the photograph posted on social media by Sydney-born convicted terrorist Khaled Sharrouf of his youngest child. The smiling boy holds up an index finger in a salute in front of an apparently lifeless body suspended from a cross with plastic cable ties. A sign hanging from the body said the capital crime was collaborating with Christians. (AGENCIES)

Optimus Prime, Bumblebee’s bodies may merge in Transformers 5

LOS ANGELES, May 8:

A new promotional standee has hinted that the bodies of Optimus Prime and Bumblebee will be meshed together in the upcoming film “Transformers: The Last Knight”.

A standee at Toys’R’Us shows that Optimus Prime will get a new body in the fifth installment of the sci-fi action franchise and some parts of this avatar resemble those of Bumblebee, reported AceShowbiz.

This has fuelled rumours whether Optimus will somehow merge Bumblebee’s body into his.

As per the trailers, the two have been battling with each other.

There is an assumption that Optimus destroys Bumblebee in the end and adds his leftovers on his body.

The film stars Anthony Hopkins, Mark Wahlberg, Josh Duhamel, Stanley Tucci, Laura Haddock, Tyrese Gibson and Gemma Chan among others. (PTI)
