This weekend, Corbyn said a Labour government would slowly re-nationalise the railways, and in Russia a child stealthily took a shit in the middle of a supermarket and the internet loved it.

A Labour government would re-nationalise the railways, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said this weekend.

Labour would renationalise the railways "line by line" as each private franchise expired, he told the Independent on Sunday.

The party is setting up a task force that will look further at how to implement the plans, Mr Corbyn said.

A British army general, commenting on Corbyn's potential military policies, said that the Labour leader would face a "mutiny" from the army if he became prime minister and tried to enact "any plans to emasculate and shrink the size of the armed forces".

"Feelings are running very high within the armed forces. You would see a major break in convention, with senior generals directly and publicly challenging Corbyn," the senior serving general told the Sunday Times.

Croatia apparently "lied in the face" of Hungary

Relations between Hungary and Croatia turned frosty this weekend after Croatia transported thousands of refugees into Hungary without Hungary's permission.

Peter Szijjarto, the Hungarian foreign minister, accused Croatia of "violating Hungary's sovereignty" after Croatian trains took thousands of refugees into Hungary unannounced, with an armed police guard.

Szijjarto branded Croatian Prime Minister Zoran Milanovic "pathetic" and accused Croatia of breaching international law in violating its borders.

Milanovic said Hungary's actions in shutting its borders were "incomprehensible" and said Croatia would continue to force Hungary to take refugees in.

Hungary has started erecting a fence along its Croatian border.

The left-wing, formerly anti-austerity party Syriza won the largest number of votes in a snap election in Greece this Sunday.

The party, led by Greece's embattled prime minister Alexis Tsipras, polled higher than their closest rival, the centre-right New Democracy.

The result will give Syriza a mandate to carry out austerity measures, demanded by the EU as part of a bailout deal agreed earlier this year.

Refugee Crisis
RECORD NUMBERS OF REFUGEES ENTERED AUSTRIA

Record numbers of refugees entered Austria over its Hungarian border this weekend, while Austrian police reported refugees had also begun entering the country over its Slovenian border.

The Austrian Red Cross reported that up to 13,000 people entered Austria on Saturday alone.

It's reported that Hungary has been transporting refugees directly from its Croatian border to Austria without first registering them.

Four thousand refugees were rescued from boats bound for Italy off the Libyan coast in an EU operation on Saturday.

Meanwhile, dozens of refugees are missing and feared drowned after three boats off the Greek coast sank over the weekend, one colliding with a ferry.

A kid was filmed doing a shit in the middle of a Russian supermarket this weekend.

The boy is shown walking down one of the shop's isles before stopping, wriggling his trousers and stealthily depositing a pile on the floor before casually walking off.

The footage then shows a man in flip-flops stepping in the human shit moments later.

Predictably, this has proved a popular clip to share among users of the many social media websites of the world wide web.
