millions of people from secondhand smoke.

President-elect Donald Trump has kicked off his victory tour by

Mattis retired as chief of US Central Command in 2013, led operations
across the Middle East and like Donald Trump, supports a tough stance
on Iran.

Speaking in the US State of Ohio Trump said the announcement will be

President-elect Donald Trump has addressed a crowd in the US state of
Ohio in what is the first stop on his victory tour.

Earlier on Thursday Trump announced that over 1,100 Americans will
keep their manufacturing jobs at the Carrier air-conditioning plant in
Indiana. This after brokering a deal with the company to keep them
from moving jobs to Mexico.

And in Ohio Trump vowed to make this a regular theme during his tenure
as president.

President-elect Donald Trump has addressed a crowd in the US state of

Since winning the election on November 8th civil rights groups have
reported a surge in attacks against minorities.

Critics blame Trump's inflammatory rhetoric for this trend and
speaking to supporters in Ohio Trump said he's opposed to acts of
discrimination.

Abdul Razak Ali Artan who was a student at Ohio State University was
shot dead by police after ramming his car into a crowd then began

Actor Andrew Sachs, Manuel on comedy classic "Fawlty Towers", dead at 86

The actor Andrew Sachs, best known for his portrayal of the Spanish waiter Manuel on the classic BBC comedy "Fawlty Towers", has died at the age of 86.

He'd been suffering from dementia, and his family says that he passed away in Britain last week.

Born in Germany, his family fled the Nazis and resettled in UK in 1938.

His career began with radio drama but he made his screen debut in 1959 and went on to become a familiar face on many British TV series.

But it was as Manuel, the waiter from Barcelona working for hotelier Basil Fawlty, played by John Cleese, that Andrew Sachs won worldwide fame.

He reflected on the character's success in this 2009 interview marking Fawlty Towers' 30th anniversary.
