 Three women suicide bombers blew themselves up at the entrance to a camp for displaced people in northeast Nigeria on Tuesday, killing 28 people and wounding 82, local sources said. The attack -- the latest in a string of assaults in the troubled region -- took place in the town of Mandarari, 25 kilometres (15 miles) from Maiduguri, the capital of Borno state, said Baba Kura, a member of a vigilante force set up to fight jihadists. "Three female bombers triggered their explosive outside of the IDP (internally displaced persons) camp... killing 28 people and wounding 82 others," Kura said.

 The British Government must withdraw the invitation to Donald Trump to pay a state visit to the UK because he is “nakedly sympathising with neo-Nazis”, activists have said. The US President caused uproar after saying a group of people he described as the “alt-left” shared the blame with members of the Ku Klux Klan, white supremacists and neo-Nazi for violence that erupted when the latter attempted to hold a rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The far-right group, which included people in paramilitary uniforms carrying assault rifles, gathered to protest against plans to remove a statue to the Confederate general Robert E Lee.

| How @YesYoureRacist became the internet's fastest tool to identify white supremacists |
 On Friday, some of America's most racist trolls hatched from their egg avatars to wave Home Depot tiki torches and chant their fave Nazi, KKK, and white supremacist slogans in Charlottesville. Yet some were nonetheless caught off guard when their very public displays of hate were made, well, public. Twitter account @YesYoureRacist enjoined users to circulate photos of the Charlottesville marchers in hopes of identifying them over the weekend. It didn't take long for the account's popularity to surge and for the messages to flood in. On Saturday morning, the account had close to 60,000 followers. By Tuesday afternoon, that had soared to 372,000. But this wasn't how the Twitter account began. Smith had a smaller, slightly more satirical vision, one that came to serve a much larger cause. SEE ALSO: 80 totally benign things Trump condemned more harshly than neo-Nazis When Logan Smith first started @YesYoureRacist in October 2012, his mission was less personal than it is now. Smith wanted to spotlight social media users who claimed they weren't racist to justify saying something totally textbook racist. *nods knowingly* pic.twitter.com/3mV8RDxyYO — Yes, You're Racist (@YesYoureRacist) July 3, 2017 "It started as a lighthearted way of poking fun at folks who tweet "I’m not racist" and then post some other ridiculous racist comments," Smith said. The "I'm not a racist, but" racist was a caricature Smith wanted to expose, and a quietly dangerous one at that. Smith's account came out of a specific time and place, when hate crimes were much lower than they are now and conversations about race, gender and sexuality seemed to be moving forward, however lethargically. With the rise of President Donald Trump, however, all of that changed. Trump was a man who made racists feel comfortable, who encouraged them to come out of their basements and into the public, where they could defend their hate speech on the grounds of "free speech." @YesYoureRacist suddenly had a whole new field of public racists to cull from. If you recognize any of the Nazis marching in #Charlottesville, send me their names/profiles and I'll make them famous #GoodNightAltRight pic.twitter.com/2tA9xliFVU — Yes, You're Racist (@YesYoureRacist) August 12, 2017 "Over the past couple years, the situation in the United States has kind of deteriorated with race, especially with the election of Donald Trump," Smith said. "So the [focus] of the account has taken a more serious tone." The events in Charlottesville over the past weekend sharpened James' resolve. While many people tend to think of trolls as meme-making basement dwellers, these were neo-Nazis and white nationalists walking freely and in the open. The violence they once casually threatened over the internet felt — and ended up being — all too physical and real. A woman counter-protesting against their hate was killed when an Ohio man charged his car into the street, ramming through the demonstration and injuring several others. Heather Heyer's death was lauded by KKK leaders. Many white nationalists travelled across the country to make their hate known. "Not a single person I heard about was from Charlottesville," Smith said. "They were from outside the area. People who came to the area to start trouble. And that’s what they got." Charlottesville's white supremacists appeared to be a different kind of creature than the "I'm not racist, but" kind of racist Smith was used to dealing with. Their belief system may have been similar, but there was one key difference: They weren't hiding. Lil dude with the pedo 'stache is @millennial_matt, one of @bakedalaska's white supremacist homies pic.twitter.com/GQbWf1QRjA — Yes, You're Racist (@YesYoureRacist) August 12, 2017 "On Saturday morning I woke up and saw photos from Friday night. It's angry white men carrying tiki torches of all things but it's something much more serious," Smith said. "It harkens back to the Nuremberg rallies. There are photos where you can hardly tell the difference between the two. You grow up seeing these things in history books but ... it's right now and here." Here's a photo from my wedding, since the Nazis seem to think it upsets me when they post it. Yup, I'm Jewish as hell! pic.twitter.com/P5tOpzgdEj — Roonil Wazlib (@LoganJames) August 14, 2017 When Smith first made the call for folks to identify the marchers and send him their public profiles, he immediately got "hundreds of names." Identifying the marchers was a relatively easy task. "These people tend to be very vocal about their beliefs," Smith said. "Basically, I just go through their profiles and look at other photos of them and the kind of stuff they're posting." This angry young man is Peter Cvjetanovic, a student at @unevadareno pic.twitter.com/7rLGJkcT3o — Yes, You're Racist (@YesYoureRacist) August 12, 2017 Any Arkansas Engineering folks recognize this guy? Must be awfully proud of his school to represent it at a Klan rally... pic.twitter.com/S9Cr5g0fC3 — Yes, You're Racist (@YesYoureRacist) August 12, 2017 Smith has had multiple successes. He was able to identify Cole White, one of the most visibly angry faces from the march. White was then forced to resign from his job at a libertarian hot dog restaurant (Welcome to Berkeley). He's also been able to locate some of these white supremacists in photos with prominent Republican politicians, some of whom later disavowed these neo-Nazis on Twitter. Annnnd here's a photo of Peter Cvjetanovic (angry torch guy) with U.S. Sen. @DeanHeller (via @BattleBornProg) #GoodNightAltRight pic.twitter.com/fzt7rIOqve — Yes, You're Racist (@YesYoureRacist) August 13, 2017 Critics contend that @YesYoureRacist is a form of doxxing that encourages a mob mentality. The account does make mistakes — and has become tangentially related to doxxing campaigns of the wrong people. It mistakenly said pro-Trump comedian Joey Salads, who claimed to be denouncing Nazis by wearing a Swastika at another Trump rally awhile ago, was among the torch-wielding crowd when he wasn't. Also, that photo of the man in a red Arkansas Engineering shirt in one of the tweets above turned this weekend into a nightmare for the wrong man. The internet misidentified the white supremacist as an engineering professor, who received a flood of vulgar and frightening messages as a result. The account also tweeted out, and then deleted, the personal information of a Twitter user known as Millennial Matt who frequently jokes about the Holocaust, violating Twitter's terms of service. By taking on these people directly, Smith knows he risks making mistakes. Despite this — and the numerous death threats he's received — this is still a challenge he's willing to tackle. And Smith isn't alone. He's been joined by prominent journalists and activists, including
New York Daily News' Shaun King, who often don't trust Attorney General Jeff Sessions to manage the Department of Justice's work justly and expeditiously, and who find real social value in holding these folks up for all of the internet to see. Friends,ALL HANDS ON DECK.We have not yet identified these two men who brutally assaulted Deandre Harris. Please share them widely. pic.twitter.com/3SZ0H4Axax — Shaun King (@ShaunKing) August 15, 2017 These aren't white supremacists hiding privately in their own homes, they contend. They've given media interviews. They've shown their face in public. If they want to be public, they risk public shaming. "Ever since the days of the KKK burning crosses in people's yards, they depend on people remaining silent," Smith told NPR. "And no matter the risk, I'm not going away." Yes, you're racist, Smith contends, and you're going to be held accountable. WATCH: Neil deGrasse Tyson's nephew drops the mic on cultural appropriation

| Meet the Nokia 8: Specs, price and release date revealed |
 On Wednesday evening, HMD Global, the Finnish company that acquired Nokia's feature phone business last year, unveiled the first flagship Android phone under the Nokia brand. The Nokia 8 will go on sale in Europe in September for 599 euros (~$700), but there is no word yet on a US release.
Having been the subject of dozens of leaks in the weeks and months leading up to its official unveiling, we already know most of what there is to know about the Nokia 8. HMD's Android phone features a 5.3-inch Quad HD display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage (with microSD support). Reasonable specs for a 2017 flagship, but the design isn't quite as contemporary.
HMD's Nokia 8 retains the display bezels that Samsung and LG have eliminated in their latest offerings, as well as a traditional home button with a fingerprint scanner under the display. Rather than attempt to compete with the Galaxy S8 or the LG V30 on design, HMD is instead packing the Nokia 8 with intriguing hardware. For example, the phone feature Zeiss lenses on both the front and back cameras, both of which are 13-megapixel sensors with a dual-camera array on the back.
The camera software is mostly untouched, but HMD has added a "bothie" mode which allows both the front and rear cameras to capture photos or videos at the same time. HMD also implemented Nokia's Ozo Audio, which gives users the ability to capture 360-degree audio while recording videos.
HMD Global plans to launch the Nokia 8 in four different color options: glossy blue and copper, as well as matte blue and grey. It will be available in Europe next month for 599 euros, joining the Nokia 6, Nokia 5 and Nokia 3. It's still unclear if the Nokia 8 will follow the Nokia 6 to the US.

| 'It still fits': Engagement ring missing for more than a decade turns up on garden carrot |
 A woman who was resigned to never seeing her beautiful engagement ring ever again - and had bought a smaller one as a replacement - was shocked when her daughter-in-law found it on a carrot. The family had harvested some carrots from their farm in Alberta, Canada, for dinner, and one had grown around the engagement ring, which was then pulled from the ground. Mary Grams, 84, had lost her beloved ring in 2004 while she was in the garden, and thought she would never see it again. "I recognized it right away," she said. Mary Grams, 84, got her missing ring back when her daughter-in-law found it while harvesting carrots on the family farm in Alberta, Canada. Credit: CBC News She thinks she lost it while pulling a large weed from the garden. "We looked high and low on our hands and knees," she told CBC news. "We couldn't find it. I thought for sure either they rototilled it or something happened to it." Mrs Grams has had the ring since 1951, a year before she married her husband, Norman. Mary, 84, says she didn't know if they were kidding or not, but when her granddaughter brought the carrot over - she knew: "It's mine!" #yegpic.twitter.com/Ft7IMUeSMR— Sarah Kraus Global (@SarahNKraus) August 15, 2017 The ring was found by her daughter-in-law, Colleen Daley. "I knew it had to belong to either grandma or my mother-in-law," she said, "because no other women have lived on that farm. "I asked my husband if he recognized the ring. And he said yeah. His mother had lost her engagement ring years ago in the garden and never found it again. And it turned up on this carrot." A few weeks after losing her engagement ring, Mary bought herself this one, much smaller, to replace it. #Camrosepic.twitter.com/sg9WN4y1Pb— Sarah Kraus Global (@SarahNKraus) August 15, 2017 Mrs Grams said she is pleased the ring was found. "I'm going to wear it because it still fits," she said.

 More than $118,000 (£91,700) has been raised for an African American man who was brutally beaten by a group of white supremacists in a horrific attack in Charlottesville. Shocking pictures and footage were captured of Deandre Harris being chased by a gang of white men before he was savagely beaten with what appear to be poles at the protests in Virginia this weekend, leaving him needing hospital treatment. The 20-year-old was left covered in blood with a broken wrist and needing eight staples for his head wounds when the attack happened in a parking garage near Charlottesville police station.

 A care worker who fought off white supremacist attackers in Charlottesville with an improvised flame thrower said he had set out for a peaceful protest against “Nazis who took over my town”. Corey Long had joined the hundreds of demonstrators in the Virginia city who turned out to heckle at radicals including Ku Klux Klan members who were marching in an ultra right-wing rally. Another extremist later lunged at Mr Long with a confederate flag and he fought back with a spray can he said he found on the ground, putting a lighter to the nozzle and turning it into a weapon.

Rivlin wrote to the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations to convey his "support and solidarity for the American Jewish community" after the unrest in Charlottesville. "The very idea that in our time we would see a Nazi flag -- perhaps the most vicious symbol of anti-Semitism -- paraded in the streets of the world's greatest democracy, and Israel's most cherished and greatest ally, is almost beyond belief," he said.
