Trump will meet with leaders from Bahrain, Qatar, Egypt, Kuwait, and other countries before delivering a speech on fighting extremism.

The president will urge leaders in the region to "drive out the terrorists from your places of worship." That's according to a draft of the speech obtained by The Associated Press.

He'll also attend the opening of the new Global Center for Combating Extremist Ideology.

7:20 A.M.

President Donald Trump is using the nation that is home to Islam's holiest site as a backdrop to call for unity across the Muslim world in the fight against terrorism.

In Trump's Sunday speech, which is the centerpiece of his two-day visit to Saudi Arabia, he will address 50 Muslim and Arab leaders and urge them to "drive out the terrorists from your places of worship." That's according to a draft of the speech obtained by The Associated Press.

Trump's presidential campaign was frequently punctuated by bouts of anti-Islamic rhetoric. He is now poised to soften some of his language about the Muslim faith.

Though during the campaign Trump repeatedly stressed the need to say the words "radical Islamic terrorism," that phrase is not included in the draft.

Animal lovers streaked unclad through London Zoo on a sponsored run to help save tigers from extinction. Many of those who took part stri*ped off everything and painted themselves in tiger stripes before jogging among the caged animals. The annual event in question was the Zoological Society for London’s (ZSL) Streak for Tigers – which raises money to help protect tigers and their habitats around the world. Tigers are classed as an endangered species with global populations on the decrease due to poaching and the increasing destruction of their natural habitats. It’s believed that there are now less than 6,000 wild tigers left worldwide. The event began at 7pm and the so-called Tiger Streakers – because a group of tigers is called a streak – were encouraged to let go of all their inhibitions and go completely unclad for a whole five to ten minutes. At the end of their run they were handed a foil blanket and to protect their modesty. Each runner pa...

A Nigerian-American basketball player has caused serious buzz on the internet after posing completely n*ked for a Magazine. Nneka Ogwumike is a Nigerian American basketball player who plays forward for the Los Angeles Sparks. The young woman caused a stir recently when she posed n*de for ESPN. Ogwumike will be one of 23 athletes to grace ESPN The Magazine’s annual Body Issue and one of its nine cover stars. “It’s always been something that I wanted to do,”  Ogwumike said.  “I think it’s mostly because of the elite collection of athletes that they pick. It attributes to your success individually because they don’t just pick anybody.” But this wasn’t the first time that ESPN called the Texas native. Four years ago, ESPN requested Ogwumike with her younger sister, Chiney, for the photo shoot but the two felt it wasn’t the right time yet. Chiney was fresh off garnering 2014 WNBA Rookie of the Year honors for the Connecticut Sun just a year after Nneka had won the same...
