Drake & Nicki Minaj: Why She Refused To Accept His Invite To His Birthday Party

Drake threw the party of the year for his birthday on Oct. 23, but there’s one A-list invitee who didn’t show. Find out why Nicki Minaj skipped Drake’s bash even though he invited her!

Drake, 30, invited Nicki Minaj, 33, to his epic birthday party at Delilah in West Hollywood, but she didn’t go because her boyfriend Meek Mill, 29, was furious! “Of course Nicki got an invite to be at Drake‘s party. She wanted to attend and party with him and help him turn 30,” a source tells HollywoodLife.com exclusively, “But that would have caused way too much drama at home with Meek.” Uh, oh.

“Meek wasn’t having it,” the insider reveals. “He threw a huge tantrum, even threatening to end their relationship if she wanted.” An ultimatum? That is so not good!

Don’t worry — Nicki held her own. “They had a fight about it because Nicki is not the woman who you give ultimatums to,” the source explains. “In the end, though, she didn’t want to hurt Meek’s feelings — nor did she want to disrespect him by partying with Drake and being all touchy-feely with him — so she didn’t go.” Makes sense!
As we previously told you exclusively, Nicki sent Drake a sweet birthday wish despite being a no-show at his bash. Insiders tell us that Nicki told Drake “she loves him”, and added that “she can’t work to work with him again”. That would be pretty epic!
The “Anaconda” singer wasn’t present for the festivities, but Drake turned it up with pals Taylor Swift, Karlie Kloss, John Mayer, Katy Perry and more. We’re sure Nicki was missed, though!

Oklahoma Mom Dies After Jumping From Moving Car to Reportedly Escape Abusive Husband

An Oklahoma mom jumped to her death last week after reportedly trying to escape her abusive husband, police confirm to Fox 61.
According to reports, Brianne King, 33, was sitting in the passenger seat while her husband, Michael Muller, was behind the wheel at the time of the incident on Tuesday, October 18. She jumped out of the moving vehicle on Interstate 44 in Oklahoma City and suffered a fatal head injury. Michael is currently in jail and the situation is still under investigation.
   
Some of Brianne's friends now claim that Michael often abused the mother of five. "She had a big heart, and she was always smiling when I saw her. We were her family," friend Samantha Searle said via Fox 61. "Whether she jumped from the car or [Michael] pushed her, she’s dead, because of [Michael]."

Searle claims that Michael made Brianne "believe that she was a horrible person" and that their children knew about the alleged violence. "I watched him smash her face against a wall, causing three of her teeth to loosen and one to fall out," she recalled of an alleged past incident. "These babies talk about how their daddy hurt their mommy, like it’s a normal part of life that’s supposed to happen."

Fellow pal Jennifer Morgan has also spoken to reporters. "I just wish there would have been some way to … break her [away] from him," she told the outlet. "She told us lots of times she was going to die. She was afraid."

A GoFundMe page was set up on Saturday, October 22, to help pay for Brianne's funeral costs. "The family is not prepared to pay for a funeral, so we are depending on the kindness of others to help cover the costs to give her a proper burial," the description reads. In three days, the campaign raised more than $900 of its $1,934 goal.

For some drug-addicted Maryland youths, treatment is the way to a new life

Seth Walters was 16 when he first smoked marijuana in his high school bathroom. Amid the high, his family problems and bouts with anxiety linked to his sister's murder disappeared.

"It made me feel really good," he said. "It pretty much numbed all of the pain that I was feeling."

Like many teenage addicts, Walter's road to dependence started with smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol socially. Then a friend convinced him to smoke weed. But that high wore off quickly and he turned to drinking large doses of cough syrup.
Walters, now 17, is among thousands of youths across the country who become addicted to drugs, using them to cope with life problems and mental illness.

Young people suffering from depression are more likely than others to begin using marijuana, hallucinogens and other drugs, according to the federal National Survey on Drug Use and Health. Some young addicts start using before they reach puberty. Recognizing the strong connection between mental health and substance abuse, many mental health and rehabilitation programs have begun jointly treating the two conditions.

Walters recently graduated from a residential mental health treatment program at Sheppard Pratt Health, which began offering a substance abuse component four years ago. The Berkeley and Eleanor Mann Residential Treatment Center treats 12- to 21-year-olds with severe emotional and behavioral problems. About a third of them have substance abuse as well as mental health issues, reflecting the results of the national drug use survey, which found the number of adolescents who suffered with substance abuse problems as well as long bouts of depression made up 28.4 percent, or 340,000, of the 1.3 million youths who abuse alcohol and drugs.

Apple will release new MacBooks this week — here's a very good guess what they'll be

Apple will launch new desktop computers at a media event in Cupertino, California this Thursday.

KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, one of the most accurate Apple analysts, spoiled the surprise on Saturday by publishing a research note detailing what he expects Apple to launch.
Kuo has nailed pre-release Apple details several times in the past.
He is expecting laptops, but not a new iMac desktop, according to a research note obtained by 9to5Mac.
Here's what's coming this week, according to Kuo:

• A new 13-inch MacBook
• A new 13-inch MacBook Pro
• A new 15-inch MacBook Pro

Here's what's not launching later this week — Apple is likely targeting the first half of next year instead:

• A new iMac desktop
• A new Apple external display

A 13-inch MacBook?

The new 13-inch MacBook is a surprise. Apple released a 12-inch thin-and-light computer called MacBook in spring 2015, and has updated once with faster chips since then.

Kuo's prediction could suggest that Apple has decided to phase out its MacBook Air model, although Kuo did not discuss that line of computers.
The two new MacBook Pros are expected to be a major redesign, complete with Touch ID fingerprint scanners and a new touchscreen strip built into the keyboard, replacing the function keys. 
The idea is that the touchscreen strip, possibly named Magic Toolbar, will be able to show app-specific keys, such as play or pause shortcuts for iTunes. 
Kuo says the new MacBook Pros will have "many" major upgrades, but is lighter on details on the new 13-inch MacBook, which has not been widely rumored before. 

Samsung could bounce back from its exploding phone fiasco faster than expected

Samsung is doing surprisingly well at holding onto customers after the Note 7's exploding fiasco, according to a note published by UBS, though it maintained a "sell" recommendation for the company's stock.
 

The research note said that customers who are returning their Galaxy Note 7 will very likely replace it with another Samsung device. And people who were planning on buying a Note 7 are also very likely to choose another Samsung phone. In both cases, the Galaxy S7 (GS7) is the most likely choice out of all other Samsung models. 

The research contradicts the concern that the incident could hurt demand for Samsung's other smartphone models, as a Nomura analyst has said in a note. Indeed, analysts and experts have said that Samsung's bigger problem will be the long-term impact on its reputation and brand. "A company's brand is their promise to consumers," said John Jacobs, an expert on reputation and crisis communications at Georgetown University. "If you break that promise, you lose the customers, you lose their loyalty."
Whilst the overall impact on its brand is yet to be seen, some customers have shown a surprising loyalty towards the Note 7, despite the risk of explosion. Shortly after Samsung confirmed it had permanently shut down production of the Note 7 earlier this month, CNET reported that some superfans were holding onto their phones. 

Chelsea 4 - Man United 0: Eden Hazard played like a man possessed to humble Jose Mourinho

The night that Hazard decided he was injured and walked off at Leicester despite his manager wanting him to stay on was the lowest point of Mourinho’s second reign at the club.
Three days after that dismal 2-1 defeat last December, the Special One was sacked and Hazard, along with Diego Costa and Cesc Fabregas, booed by angry Chelsea fans in their next game.
On Sunday at Stamford Bridge Hazard played like a man possessed, a man with a point to prove. He scored one glorious goal, made another - and when the crushing fourth went in, he raced over to celebrate deliriously with scorer N’Golo Kante and the entire Chelsea team. This result clearly meant something to the Special One’s former players.
Because what Hazard and co did was quite simply humiliate their former manager. Manchester United were not just beaten by the most significant performance yet from Antonio Conte’s Chelsea team, they were torn apart. The goals came from Pedro, Gary Cahill, Hazard and Kante. But they could have come from anywhere at any time, so poor were United.

On Monday night Mourinho had given a master class in defensively organising his team as they frustrated Liverpool at Anfield. The old master has not lost it, the pundits said.
Yesterday he was undone after just 30 seconds as that much vaunted defence fell disastrously asleep. And it only got worse. It was the most un-Mourinho-like performance probably ever seen from a Mourinho team.
United lacked punch in attack, were sloppy in midfield, and chaotic at the back. The sight of the £89 million man Paul Pogba simply waving an ineffective foot at Kante as he jinked through for that fourth goal signifies that all is not well in the Portuguese’s camp.
The wags afterwards were saying this shows that Mourinho can still get a performance out of Chelsea - just ten months too late.

But there is no question that this was a triumph for Conte. The Italian has not had an easy ride since taking over at Stamford Bridge, and had insisted he would need time to repair the damage of last season - and by implication the wreckage left by Mourinho.
Defeats by Liverpool and Arsenal had raised doubts, but since switching to a three at the back system it has been three wins, nine goals scored and none conceded. This win though sent out a message that Conte’s methods may just be beginning to pay off.
Roman Abramovich’s celebrates his 50th birthday today, and he will not have had a better present. Before kick off yesterday it was all about the return of Jose, but also a commemoration of the life of Matthew Harding, the popular vice chairman who had tragically died in a helicopter crash 20 years ago on Saturday.
United could not have been more generous visitors. After just 30 seconds Marcos Alonso lofted a harmless ball over the top. Chris Smalling left it to Danny Blind who was asleep, and Pedro nipped in to take the ball round David De Gea and score.

United should have levelled when Zlatan Ibrahimovic headed over from six yards - but that was as good as it got. Kante and Nemanja Matic bossed the midfield for Chelsea, and Victor Moses was again a revelation at wing back. Mourinho’s team fell apart again as Hazard’s corner was inadvertently flicked on by Antonio Valencia - and Cahill slammed the ball home.
Anders Herrera forced a good save from Thibaut Courtois as United fought to get back into the match, but every time Hazard got the ball it was panic stations.
Just after the hour the Belgian, whose fall-out with Mourinho was perhaps the most blatant of all of the disintegrating relationships last year, fed Kante, who moved the ball on to Matic, and there was Hazard racing onto the return to slide his shot home.
United were by now a shambles, and when Pedro flicked the ball on for the galloping Kante to race into the penalty area, the Frenchman emulated Hazard as he dribbled round his defender to shoot home. Humilation complete - and there were still twenty minutes left on the clock.
Mourinho had never lost a game in England by such a margin. But then as he knows, English football can be a Hazardous business.

Kanye pulls a Kanye and vows to boycott the Grammys if Frank Ocean isn’t nominated – but does he have a point?

He went on to tell the crowd of his plans to avoid the ceremony if his wishes aren’t met:
‘And I’m saying this to y’all, because a lot of people try to make a scene, like, ‘I’m so self-centered.’ But the album I listened to the most this year is Frank Ocean’s album. And I’ll tell you this right now: If his album’s not nominated in no categories, I’m not showing up to the Grammys.
‘As artists, we gotta come together to fight the bullsh*t they been throwing us with. All we need is a fair shot. Let the album lose. Let whoever win or lose.’

Kanye West has vowed he’ll be boycotting the Grammys if Frank Ocean doesn’t get nominated. Sounds very Kanye, but he might be on to something.

Kanye now things the rules should be bent for his pal as he reckons he deserves the recognition. And his argument is that they’ve done it before, so why can’t they do it again?

During his Saint Pablo Tour, he told the crowd Lady Gaga is the reason he’s calling for a rule change.
He said: ‘[Gaga] wasn’t nominated for Best New Artist, right? But they wanted her to perform at the show; they wanted her to open. So the Grammys secretly changed something about the nominations in order to nominate her, in order for her to perform in the show.
‘Now, Frank Ocean, on the other hand, is very vocal that his album wasn’t nominated for the Grammys, right? Since he’s vocal, no one wants to say nothing about it. No one wants to do nothing about it.’

He went on to tell the crowd of his plans to avoid the ceremony if his wishes aren’t met:
‘And I’m saying this to y’all, because a lot of people try to make a scene, like, ‘I’m so self-centered.’ But the album I listened to the most this year is Frank Ocean’s album. And I’ll tell you this right now: If his album’s not nominated in no categories, I’m not showing up to the Grammys.
‘As artists, we gotta come together to fight the bullsh*t they been throwing us with. All we need is a fair shot. Let the album lose. Let whoever win or lose.’

Kanye’s beef is that the rules were bent for Lady Gaga in 2010 as her album The Fame was released in 2009, making it ineligible for an award the year later. So rules were allegedly ‘secretly’ bent and she was nominated for a string of awards.

Justin Bieber storms off stage after fans refuse to listen to him

Justin Bieber stormed off stage during his concert in Manchester, England, on Sunday night (23Oct16) when the audience failed to listen to his talking between songs.
The 22-year-old singer was performing to a packed out audience at the Manchester Arena, marking the last of three concerts in the city as part of his Purpose World Tour.
Things turned awkward when the audience started booing as he tried to speak to them, and a clearly frustrated Justin dropped his microphone and stormed off stage.
According to reports, the incident occurred at around 10pm, and Justin was absent from the stage for around two minutes before returning.
At that point, the Love Yourself singer attempted to explain his actions to the crowd, telling them: "I feel like I wanna connect with you. The point of the no screaming thing is that when I’m looking at you in the eyes you know that we’re actually having a moment and having a connection.
“So it’s not that I’m being an a****** it simply me just wanting to have a moment. Manchester you guys are awesome. But then there has to be ..."
Realising that his fans were still screaming, Justin concluded: "I’m just going to quit the talking alright. I’m not going to talk the rest of the night.
"We’re just going to do the music. Obviously Manchester just can’t handle it so let’s do the music."
Several fans took to social media to confirm that Justin didn’t speak for the rest of the concert, concentrating entirely on his musical performances.
The controversy on Sunday came just days after Justin once again hit headlines when he asked the crowd at his concert in the city on Thursday night to stop talking.
Before performing his penultimate song of the evening, Justin told his screaming fans that he had called his tour the Purpose World Tour "because everyone in here has a purpose", but stopped when he realised the audience were chatting and not listening to him.
"I just thought I could have a moment to say something. I can cut the b******* if you want," he said at that point. "I’m trying to engage but if you guys don’t want to I’ll play the music."
According to the Manchester Evening News, Justin's face "twitched with annoyance" as he made the request.
But, once again, his remarks didn't go down very well with the crowd, who quickly started booing.

'Deadpool 2' Loses Director Tim Miller Over Creative Differences

Joe Lederer/Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation

The director has parted ways with the studio over what insiders say are creative differences between him and Ryan Reynolds, the actor who plays the titular Marvel character.

Tim Miller, who directed Deadpool and had a hand in giving Fox its biggest hit of the year, will not direct Deadpool 2.

The director has parted ways with the studio over what insiders say are creative differences between him and Ryan Reynolds, the actor who plays the titular Marvel character.

Deadpool made $786 million worldwide when it opened on Valentine’s Day this year, launching a new franchise for the studio. The movie re-energized Reynolds' career but also began a second act for Miller, a visual-effects specialist who founded Blur Studio and made a name for himself making video game trailers and opening credits.

By all accounts, the movie's success was truly shared by Reynolds, who helped define the voice of the character for screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, as well as Miller. In fact, Miller is believed to be the one who leaked Deadpool test footage into the wilds of the internet, with the ensuing enthusiastic reaction being just what was needed to ensure that Fox, which was waffling over whether or not to make the movie, gave it the green light.

Even before the movie’s opening, the gang was back together plotting the sequel. Deadpool 2 is in the casting stages and is in the middle of testing six actresses for the part of Domino, the project’s new female lead.

Sources say Reynolds and Miller had increasingly butted heads over certain creative issues. Reynolds was a producer on the original, along with Simon Kinberg and Lauren Shuler Donner, but sources say his clout has increased exponentially on the sequel.

Fox says the parting of ways is amicable and is already jumping hand-in-hand with Miller into another project, Influx, the adaptation of a science fiction novel by Daniel Suarez.

Free fight: Conor McGregor vs. Nate Diaz 2 at UFC 202

On Saturday, November 12, the UFC will touch down in New York City to bring fight fans the highly anticipate UFC 205, which will be headlined by super fight between featherweight champion Conor Mcgregor and lightweight champion Eddie Alvarez. But first relive the epic battle between Nate Diaz vs. Conor McGregor at UFC 202.

McGregor (20-3) was previously scheduled to challenge former champion Rafael dos Anjos for the lightweight belt in March before a broken foot forced the Brazilian to pull out of the title fight. As a result, Nate Diaz agreed to take the fight on short notice. He would go on to submit the Irishman in the main event of UFC 196.

McGregor later avenged his loss to Diaz at UFC 202 in August.

So with his business with his Diaz taken care of for the time being, McGregor’s head coach, John Kavanagh and White revealed they were hoping the featherweight champ would drop back down to lightweight and challenge Alvarez.

McGregor initially revealed he wasn’t impressed enough with the 155-pound champion’s win over dos Anjos to warrant a match-up. However these plans seemed to have changed. McGregor will enter this contest with 18 career (T)KOs, including six under the UFC banner and a record 13-second knockout over former champion Jose Aldo at UFC 194.

Alvarez (28-4), also a former Bellator, Bodog and MFC champion, was crowned the lightweight champion after finishing dos Anjos with strikes in the first round of their title fight at UFC Fight Night 90 in July. Not long after, Alvarez made it known he was seeking  a fight against the winner of the rematch between McGregor and Diaz.

The Philadelphia native previously earned his shot at the belt with back-to-back decision wins over former Strikeforce champ Gilbert Melendez and former UFC champ Anthony Pettis. He will enter this title fight 22 career stoppage wins, including 15 by way of (T)KO.

UFC 205 will go down on November 12 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. This historic event will mark the UFC’s first event in New York.

Trump lawyers want the campaign to be off-limits in Trump U. trial

When it comes to the Trump University lawsuit, Donald Trump's attorneys believe what happens on the presidential campaign trail, stays on the presidential campaign trail.

Trump's lawyers filed a motion in federal court Thursday to "exclude certain statements by or about Donald Trump." Those include things he said in his debates, speeches, and tweets. They also want to keep out anything his surrogates have said, anything that has come out about his taxes, "personal conduct accusations" and "comments about this case or the court."

Among the statements about the case Trump would probably rather keep out of the trial are his comments in June in which he said Judge Gonzalo Curiel, who is handling the case, could not be impartial because of his Mexican heritage.

"I have had horrible rulings, I have been treated unfairly by this judge," said Trump. "Now this judge is of Mexican heritage, I'm building a wall."

"During the current Presidential campaign, Mr. Trump has been the focus of perhaps unprecedented media coverage and public interest," Trump attorneys Daniel Petrocelli and David Kirkman argue. "Before trial begins in this case, prospective members of the jury will have the opportunity to cast their vote for President. It is in the ballot box where they are free to judge Mr. Trump based on all this and more. But it is in the jury box where they must judge him and this case only on evidence and argument relevant to the issues at hand."

Petrocelli and Kirkman say the admission of evidence from the campaign would risk "irremediable prejudice" and a "waste of time."

The nearly seven-year-old lawsuit by former Trump University students says the program used deceptive marketing — including giving a false impression that it was an accredited school — pressured students into spending as much as $35,000 on real estate seminars and failed to deliver or its promises of success.

The trial is scheduled to begin Nov. 28.

Here's the full list of what Trump's lawyers are seeking to exclude from the trial:

•Campaign speeches

•Statements at political rallies, including statements about this case

•Statements at debates

•Statements about individuals or entities unrelated to this litigation

•Campaign advertisements

•Tweets

•Statements by campaign surrogates

•Audio and video recordings made or publicized during the campaign

•Tax issues

•Comments about this case or the Court

•Donald J. Trump Foundation or other businesses owned or managed by Mr.

•Trump not part of this litigation, including Trump Organization

•Personal conduct accusations

•Other politicians, state attorneys general, or public servants

•Beauty pageants, casinos, and corporate bankruptcies

•Other litigation

Nigeria to use poles for demarcation of border with Niger Republic – NBC

Dr Muhammad Bose, Director General, National Boundary Commission (NBC), says the commission will soon erect demarcation poles on Nigeria’s boarder line with Niger Republic.

Bose made the disclosure when he visited the Emir of Argungu, Alhaji Samaila Mera, at his palace on Friday.

“My visit to Kebbi is to sensitize the people of Dadin-Kowa in Arewa Local Government that the commission is set to construct demarcation poles on Nigeria border line with Niger Republic.

“The commission enjoins the people not to see the artificial demarcation as something meant to cause disunity.

“Rather they should see it as a symbol of promoting unity, peace, mutual understanding, as well as social, cultural and economic development,” he said.

He commended the people living in the border towns for exhibiting discipline and maturity.

Bose promised that the governments of Nigeria and Niger Republic would provide basic social amenities that would promote peaceful co-existence among them.

Responding, the Emir of Argungu said the artificial boundaries created by colonialists did not divide the people of Nigeria from those in Niger Republic, rather it promoted peaceful co-existence.

Mera said Nigeria and Niger Republic shared common historical antecedents, including religion, culture, tradition and social-economic background.

The Sole Administration of Arewa Local Government, Alhaji Abubakar Muhammad, commended the commission for the visit.

He assured that the people of the border towns would continue to promote peace in their domains. (NAN)

Neymar renews contract with Barcelona


Barcelona forward Neymar has finally signed his new five-year contract, committing him to the club until 2021, over three months after It was agreed.

The 24-year-old Brazil international agreed the deal, which increases his release clause to 200m euros (£178m), on 1 July.

The clause rises to 222m euros (£200m) in the second year and 250m euros for the final three.


Neymar has scored 91 goals in 150 games for the club since his 2013 move.

"Neymar's contract extension is great news," said Barca boss Luis Enrique.

"It signifies his development with Barca and the level of performances that make him one of the best players in the world. He is comfortable at the club, with his team-mates, winning titles, and the feeling is mutual."

Neymar has won two La Liga titles, one Champions League and the Copa del Rey twice with the Spanish champions.

His transfer from Santos three years ago isbeing investigated by La Liga. The Catalan club say they paid 57m euros, with the player's parents receiving 40 million and Santos 17 million.

In June, they paid a 5.5m euro fine over the move after being accused of tax fraud, which they denied. Last month, the Spanish league said it wanted to know about the agreement with the Spanish Public Prosecutor's Office.

MTN denies illegally exporting $14 billion from Nigeria

LAGOS, Nigeria –  African telecommunications giant MTN is denying allegations in the Nigerian Senate that it illegally exported $14 billion from its biggest market on the continent in the past 10 years.

Ferdi Moolman, CEO of the group's Nigeria operation, says he has Central Bank of Nigeria certificates proving authorization to repatriate the money, based on dividends from capital imported into this West African nation. His statement follows his appearance Thursday before a Senate committee.

Shares of the South Africa-based multinational slumped Friday to a six-year low of 107 rand ($7.64).

Nigeria faces foreign currency shortages caused by slumped oil prices.

In June, MTN Nigeria settled for a much-reduced $1 billion fine for failing to register cellphone SIM cards. It had to cut off some 11 million customers.

SLAY OR FAIL!?

I used to tell myself if I had money I would dress alot better! But for the well known Linda Ikeji, err not so much...

So lets start from the hair, I think this is nice safe, black cut block fringe to show off her brows.

Tens of thousands of women have demonstrated across Latin America after the rape and death of a teenage girl.

Earlier this month 16-year-old Lucia Perez was drugged, tortured and repeatedly raped before dying of a heart attack in the coastal city of Mar del Plata in Argentina - two men known for selling drugs outside a school were detained in Mar del Plata on Sunday and charged with rape and homicide.

A group known as Not One Less organised the protests which saw female workers in Buenos Aires stop work for an hour yesterday to take to the streets dressed in black to highlight violent crimes committed against women.

The Permanent Assembly for Human Rights estimates that a woman is killed every 30 hours in Argentina.

Protesters marched through the city with some holding pictures of victims. One protester carried a sign saying: "I march because I was luckier." Another read: "I want to live without fear."

Demonstrator Victoria Vazquez said: "I want to go out on a quiet street. I want to do the same things that men do. 

"I want to go out at three in the morning and not have anything happen to me. I want to wear a skirt in the summer and no one say anything to me, no one bother me. 

"I don't want to feel fear each time I see a group of five guys that are waiting on a corner to say something to me. I want to be relaxed on the street and that they stop the killing."

Another protester said: "The clock is ticking and there is scarcely 30 hours until another body appears. So we all have to be here - men, women, boys, girls, teenagers."

Thousands of protesters also took to the streets in Chile, Bolivia, Mexico and Spain in support of the demonstration in Argentina.

In Bolivia Protester Alejandra Canelas said: ""The women of Argentina have called a nationwide women's protest. 

"Here in Bolivia, we are tired that women are the ones that are killed and raped daily, and we have also decided to come together in a national women's strike, called by the women of Argentina, so that little by little, people from other countries will also join this mobilisation."
