I’m a soldier and I’m expected to kill Taliban - Prince Harry

Prince Harry with the British soldiers

 Prince Harry claimed killing the Taliban was something a soldier ‘would expect to do’ as he defended his candid remarks about his tour of Afghanistan.

The 28-year-old, who was speaking as he returned home, said opening fire was necessary to protect allied troops and the Afghan people.

‘I think for the thousands of guys that are on operations at the moment, we are continuing, essentially, to try and do a job,’ he added.

‘You get asked to do things that you would expect to do wearing this uniform and it’s as simple as that really.’

The Apache co-pilot gunner, known as Capt Wales in the Army, left the war-torn country on Monday. He spent a day at a British military base in Cyprus before landing at RAF Brize Norton, Oxfordshire, where he described his excitement at being reunited with his family.

‘I’m longing to see my brother and sister-in-law, as with any of the soldiers who’ve come off the plane after four-and-a-half months away,’ he told journalists, adding: ‘I really am longing to catch up with people behind closed doors. You guys aren’t invited.’

Asked about his friends, who have ‘normal’ jobs in the City, sending him pictures of their desks, he said: ‘I’d never want to be stuck behind a computer desk.

‘I don’t know what normal is any more and never really have done.’

Harry was criticised for ‘arrogant’ remarks made on Monday that he took the enemy ‘out of the game’ and soldiers ‘take a life to save a life’. (Metro UK)

Gorilla brothers' emotional embrace captured after three years apart

Kesho and Alf

Handshakes, hugs and laughter were on display when two long-lost gorilla brothers were reunited after spending nearly three years apart.

The pair of primates surprised staff at Longleat Safari Park, Wiltshire, with an affectionate display of brotherly love - having been apart since 2010. Kesho and his younger brother Alf were separated after the elder sibling was sent to London Zoo as part of a breeding programme.

The heart-warming moment as the misty-eyed pair embraced after being reunited, also appearing to share a joke, was captured on camera. Despite Kesho appearing almost unrecognisable, with his weight ballooning by 200lbs, head gorilla keeper Mark Tye said Alf had no problem recognising his sibling.

'We weren't entirely sure that the brothers would even know each other, but the moment they met you could just see the recognition in their eyes,' he said. 'They were touching each other through the cage that temporarily separated them and there were no acts of aggression. 

'We put them together 24 hours later and it was like they had never been apart. 'They were very animated and there was a lot of rough and tumble on the floor, but not in an aggressive way.

'It is quite unusual to see that sort of childlike behaviour in a silverback.' Kesho was recently moved to the new £3m enclosure after his attempts to father a baby gorilla were unsuccessful due to him being infertile.

'They have formed a really tight bond and Kesho is actually incredibly tolerant,' added Mr Tye. 'Had they been two strangers there would have been a lot of face-to-face confrontation and some fighting and screaming.

'But Kesho and Alf were happy to turn their backs on one another which is a sign of trust.

'It is great for Alf to have an older brother to look up to and learn from and Kesho seems to enjoy being the centre of attention.

'It was very satisfying to see.'

The pair now look set to spend the rest of their days in the bachelor pad enclosure, set up due to the large amount of males in the current European breeding programme. - Metro UK

"Just another real life story"

Chinese farmer builds himself bionic arms after accident

Farmer Sun Jifa at work

Chinese farmer Sun Jifa, whose arms were blown off in a freak explosion, has built himself bionic arms as he could not afford the pricey hospital ones.

The 51-year-old lost both his hands when a bomb he was making for some blast fishing detonated prematurely, but could not afford to shell out for the prosthetic arms the hospital offered him, instead coming up with his own handy solution. 

Sun spent eight years creating the prototype for his own metal hands, which function using a series of wires and pulleys inside the shell, allowing him to grip and hold objects. He said: 'I survived but I had no hands and I couldn't afford to buy the false hands the hospital wanted me to have - so I decided to make my own. 

'I control them with movements from my elbows and I can work, love normally and feed myself just like anyone else.

'The only drawback is that steel is quite heavy so they're tiring to wear and get hot or cold in the extremes of summer and winter.'

Having built his own mental hands, Sun no longer sees why anyone should have to pay an extortionate amount to a hospital for bionic arms, and is planning to develop the design for others in a similar situation.

'I made this from scrap metal for virtually nothing. There is no need to pay hospitals a fortune,' he said. - Metro UK

"Should we call this another genius Do-it-yourself stuff?"

Secret naked swimming club - attempt skinny dip world record

A covert naked swimming club stripped off in Oxfordshire in a bid to break the skinny dip world record. The secret organisation, which originates from the creators of Secret Cinema, descended on Cornbury Park to strip off and jump in the water. 

None of the swimmers had met before, however they each braved the chilly water at 8pm on Saturday to swim in a lake near the Wilderness Festival in order to attempt to break a world record. The event also marked the launch of the new Secret Swimming club, which brings people together every month to invite them to swim in wild and beautiful waters, completely naked. 

Locations of the event are kept a strict secret until the very last minute, when they are released to the community. Future Cinema and Secret Swimming founder Fabien Riggall told Wired.co.uk that the idea has generated a lot of interest and has proved a hit with those attending.

'When you go skinny dipping late at night on a beach somewhere with a group of friends, it's an amazing experience,' he said.

'It's fun. I think our audience is looking for ways of doing things that are a bit different,' Mr Riggall added. It has not yet been confirmed whether the group broke the world record or not or how many swimmers took part. - Metro UK
