Scoob News

Good evening, I'm Anthony J. Scoobington, with WSCB TV.


British Prime Minister David Cameron is expected to meet Russia Prime Minister Vladimir Putin on Monday in Russia to secure crucial new trade and warmer ties with the ally. They are set to play Jenga, and the winner has to buy dinner. A game of Madden was rumored to have been scheduled but had to be canceled due to neither person knowing who John Madden was and what the object of American football was.


More than 240 people were killed when a crowded ferry sank off Tanzania's coast early on Saturday, and about 600 have been rescued, officials said Sunday. The figure indicates that the ferry was filled beyond capacity. The majority of the 600 rescued passengers are looking into suing the ferry company. They apparently were under the impression that it was going to America due to the name of the ferry, which was the, "Amistad II."


About 100,000 people flocked to a memorial ceremony Saturday for the victims of the Russian plane crash that devastated a top hockey team. Mourners, including Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, poured into the Lokomotiv Yaroslavl's arena to lay flowers near coffins containing remains of the team's players and staff. Hockey pucks were left by those who were unable to afford flowers.


The percentage increase in suspicious activity tips in D.C. this weekend according to MPD chief Cathy Lanier was 60%. Officials said many reports were that of suspicious vehicles. 59.6% were of taxi cabs with drivers that were reported as "swarthy & talking on their cell phones."



From the folks at WSCB have a great evening. Stay hydrated.
