False Hawaii Missile Alert Prompts Apology

Hawaiian authorities said human error caused the missile alert. The state's governor has apologised for the panic in which people ran through the streets and drove at high speed heading for safety. Also, the Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg has donated earnings his latest female co-star wasn't paid to a gender discrimination campaign, South African police disperse protesters ransacking H&M in Johannesburg in retaliation for what they say were racist adverts, and a cult Mexican horror radio programme called "The Hairy Hand" has ended after more than two decades on air.
