Who, What, Why: Are skinny jeans bad for your health? BBC News

Published

on



Skinny jeans can cause serious damage to nerves and muscles, doctors have warned. Doctors in Australia say they’ve identified a serious neurological condition linked to wearing the thigh and calf huggers – which is made even worse if you’re wearing high heels at the same time. It comes after a woman was left partially paralysed and had to spend 4 days in hospital after wearing some.
Just how bad for your health is the definitive hipster garment our Online Health Editor, Michelle Roberts explains.

    This is why I don’t watch the news, not because I don’t want to be informed, but because it’s usually full of useless information or it’s just overall negativity that I don’t need in my life.

    I like killing people because it is so much fun. It is more fun than killing wild game in the forest because man is the most dangerous animal of them all.

    I'm not really sure how I feel about this video. It's kind of strange to think that skinny jeans can case nerve and muscle damage. Instead of blaming the skinny jeans, there could be something else wrong with them. Skinny jeans are very common, and if they actually caused nerve or muscle damage, there would have been a bigger deal about this sooner.

    I feel like this video is a little harsh to blame clothing, specifically skinny jeans for nerve damage and Compartment Syndrome. I feel like if you are wearing consistently wearing clothes that are that tight that they are causing severe nerve damage and constricting blood flow that there has to be something else already wrong with your nerves to tell you that something does not feel right about that clothing. If jeans are that tight around just your calves I feel like it would be hard to breath before I would notice circulation cut off.

    Don't know about the health issue but as far as fashion goes, I'm just glad skinnies are losing popularity to bootcut and flare jeans and slowly going out of style. I'm seeing lots more bootcut and flare than skinny on all ages and it's refreshing. Even the fashion mags are touting flare over skinny. Of course, bootcut and flare never went out of style to begin with. Even during the skinny craze, all fashionable women kept at least one pair of flares around and mixed them into her outfits regularly. Flares were still often seen throughout the stupid skinny craze. Long live flares!

Christa Pike: 911 calls reveal chaos after failed execution and other stories | Global News Podcast

Published

on



Authorities in the US state of Tennessee have released dramatic phone calls that were made to the emergency services after the botched execution of Christa Pike. They show there was chaos and confusion as emergency responders tried to work out whether a request for help in the execution chamber was genuine and not a prank call, allegedly leading to a delay in the inmate being taken to hospital. Christa Pike, who killed Colleen Slemmer in 1995, was given two lethal injections that failed to kill her. Her case is now in uncharted territory as she is thought to be the only person to have survived an execution attempt by lethal injection.

The women exposing abuse in Iraq | BBC News

Published

on



This video contains distressing details.

Violence against women and girls in Iraq is widespread, but under reported, according to UN experts.

For incidents of sexual violence, there are no official figures. Human rights campaigners in the country say more needs to be done to protect women who speak out. They say threats and incitement against survivors should be investigated as crimes.

BBC Arabic’s Sally Nabil has been to Baghdad to speak to women who say family and social pressures discouraged them from speaking out, but have now decided to break their silence.
