David Beckham defies critics as he kisses daughter Harper, 8, on the lips again

David Beckham has turned his nose up at those who criticised him for kissing his young daughter, sharing another snap of the pair kissing on the lips.
The footballer and eight-year-old daughter Harper Seven were at the Natural History Museum’s ice skating rink, getting in the Christmas spirit.
David captioned the series of pictures: “It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas 🤶🎄.. Thanks to @nhm_icerink for looking after us today.”

He chose to post the picture of him and Harper kissing first, alongside pictures of Harper showing off her skating skills, and the pair having a big daddy-daughter cuddle.

The former England captain, who is also father to Brooklyn, 20, 17-year-old Romeo and Cruz, 13, has come under fire for his decision to kiss his daughter.

Over the years he has been pictured kissing Harper at events and during private family moments, and Piers Morgan called it “creepy” and “weird”.
Good Morning Britain host Piers, 54, attacked the football ace for a video which was taken on the Beckham family’s holiday in Miami, telling viewers: “Why would a father kiss his daughter on the lips? Don’t get it. Creepy. Weird. Creepy.”

The ex-footie star’s loving Instagram posts have been met with a stream of comments from unhappy followers claiming it was “wrong” for a father to kiss his daughter on the lips.
However, troll comments are unlikely to annoy the star, who in 2017 hit out at criticism by insisting he does the same with all of his children, adding: “We want to show our kids love.”

Reacting to the disapproval from some fans, David said: “I got actually criticised for kissing my daughter on the lips the other day. I kiss all my kids on the lips.”
He acknowledged that his eldest son is the only one he would think twice about kissing in public.

He continued: “Brooklyn maybe not. Brooklyn’s 18, he might find that a little bit strange.
"But I’m very affectionate with the kids. It’s how I was brought up and Victoria, and it’s how we are with our children.

“We want to show our kids love and we protect them, look after them, and support them, and we’re very affectionate with them.”

CJN Tanko unveils panel to hear Atiku’s appeal against Buhari

The Chief Justice of Nigeria, Ibrahim Tanko Mohammed is presiding over the 7-man panel that will hear the appeals filed by the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and its presidential candidate, Atiku Abubakar, challenging the victory of President Muhammadu Buhari at the February 23 poll. Other members of the panel are Bode Rhodes-Vivour, Amiru Sanusi, Uwani Abaji, Ejembi Eko, John Inyang Okoro and Olukayode Ariwoola. Atiku and his party are challenging the September 11 judgment of the Justice Mohammed Garba-led Presidential Election Petitions Tribunal which affirmed President Buhari’s victory at the polls. The appeals hearing has generated some controversies especially due to the silence of the Supreme Court on the justices that would constitute the panel, with the Coalition of United Progressives Party (CUPP) demanding the use of seniority in selecting them. A senior member of Atiku’s legal team, Chief Chris Uche (SAN), told reporters that they considered it strange that as at

Chechnya leader makes Mo Salah honorary citizen

Chechnya leader Ramzan Kadyrov has made Egypt’s talismanic striker Mohamed Salah an honorary citizen of the southern Russian region at a farewell banquet held for the eliminated World Cup side. Rights groups and Western governments allege that authorities in Chechnya repress their political opponents, discriminate against women and persecute sexual minorities, all allegations that Chechnya’s leaders deny. Chechnya has been hosting the Egyptian team’s World Cup training camp and Kremlin-backed Kadyrov has seized on opportunities to appear alongside Salah. Sarah’s goalscoring exploits for Liverpool and Egypt have made him an international superstar. “Mohamed Salah is an honorary citizen of the Chechen Republic. “Yes, that’s right! Tonight I signed a decree conferring this high award on the great footballer and member of the Egypt and Liverpool teams,” Kadyrov wrote on Telegram. Salah was presented with a badge and a copy of the decree at the dinner, Kadyrov said. The Egy
