Walkie-Talkie skyscraper to have screen put up to stop rays A temporary screen is to be put up outside the "Walkie-Talkie" to try and prevent the sun's rays which reflect from the skyscraper causing damage. The 37-storey building in the City of London is said to have started fires and caused damage to nearby businesses. It is said to have not only melted parts of a Jaguar, but also blistered paintwork and caused tiles to fall. Developers Land Securities and Canary Wharf said the scaffold screen would be erected at street level. "This solution should minimise the impact on the local area over the next two to three weeks, after which time the phenomenon is expected…

'Never, ever give up:' Diana Nyad completes historic Cuba-to-Florida swim Key West, Florida (CNN) -- "Find a way." That's the mantra Diana Nyad said she had this year. And that's exactly what she did. On Monday, Nyad became the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without a protective cage, willing her way to a Key West beach just before 2 p.m. ET, nearly 53 hours after jumping into the ocean in Havana for her fifth try in 35 years. Shortly after conquering the Straits of Florida, the 64-year-old endurance swimmer sat down with CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta. "It's all authentic. It's a great story.

Syria conflict: At least 93,000 killed, says UN At least 93,000 people have been killed in Syria since the start of the conflict, according to latest United Nations figures. This represents a rise of more than 30,000 since the UN last issued figures covering the period to November 2012. At least 5,000 people have been dying in Syria every month since last July, the UN says. But it says these statistics are an underestimate as it believes many deaths are unreported. Over 80% of those killed were men, but the UN says it has also documented the deaths of over 1,700 children under the age of 10. There were "cases of individual children being tortured and executed…

How one man turns annoying cold calls into cash A man targeted by marketing companies is making money from cold calls with his own higher-rate phone number. In November 2011 Lee Beaumont paid £10 plus VAT to set up his personal 0871 line - so to call him now costs 10p, from which he receives 7p. The Leeds businessman told BBC Radio 4's You and Yours programme that the line had so far made £300. Phone Pay Plus, which regulates premium numbers, said it strongly discouraged people from adopting the idea. Mr Beaumont came up with the plan when he grew sick of calls offering to help him reclaim payment protection insurance (PPI), or install solar panels. He said: "I d…

Facebook said the impact of the data disclosure was "minimal" Millions exposed by Facebook data glitch Personal details of about six million people have been inadvertently exposed by a bug in Facebook's data archive.

So far, there was no evidence the data exposed was being exploited for malicious ends, said Facebook. It said it was "upset and embarrassed" by the bug, which was found by a programmer outside the company. The data exposure came about because of the way that Facebook handled contact lists and address books upl…

Mike Tyson 'close to death from drugs and alcohol' Former undisputed heavyweight world champion Mike Tyson claims he is "on the verge of dying" from ongoing drug and alcohol problems. Tyson, 47, admitted he is a continual substance abuser but added he is hopeful of finally getting clean. "I want to live my sober life. I don't want to die.

At the age of 20, in 1987, the American fighter held the record as the youngest boxer to win the WBC, WBA and IBF heavyweight titles. But five yea…
