A German man was arrested in connection with the arson attacks that set Hollywood ablaze this New Year’s weekend.  The man’s description and vehicle were linked to footage retrieved from surveillance video.

It is speculated that the man was embroiled in his mother’s immigration conflict with U.S. authorities.  Those details have yet to be confirmed.

Fifty two fires were deliberately set in Hollywood and surrounding neighbourhoods last weekend causing three million dollars worth of damage.  No one was killed.

Tribal conflicts in South Sudan have left thousands of villagers waiting for help from UN and government troops. Tensions escalated over the weekend as armed youth from the Lou Nuer tribe attacked the rival Murle tribe.

Montreal plans to open a municipal centre for stray animals. The decision comes eight months after Radio-Canada exposed the inhumane treatment animals were receiving at the Berger Blanc. The private pound had been contracted by 10 of the city’s boroughs.

The new municipal facility will offer adoption services and education. It will also ensure that all procedures are carried out by certified veterinarians.
