A flight was diverted to a nearby airport when a woman gave birth on board.

The Etihad Airways flight which was on a journey from Abu Dhabi to Jakarta, Indonesia - was made to land in Mumbai, India when the emergency situation occurred.

Once the plane had landed, the woman was rushed to East's Seven Hills Hospital, where she was admitted.

A hospital official told the 'Mumbai Mirror': "She was taken to the operation theatre on arrival at the hospital and is now recuperating in the women's ward."

Man burns house, not spiders

A man who tried to use a blowtorch to kill dangerous spiders accidentally set the house on fire.

The man in California was house sitting for his parents in the Woodward Lake development, and the Fresno Fire Department sent firefighters to the call after he had escaped the house safely.

He told them that he had been trying to kill some black widow spiders when he sparked the blaze, which damaged the second story of the house and its attic, but didn't cause any injuries.

Lion cub found in apartment

French police have seized a lion cub from an apartment in a Paris suburb.

The six-week-old exotic animal whose owner has been arrested was in good health, and has been taken to a wild animal park in Seine-et-Marne.

According to the country's National Hunting and Wildlife Agency, the cub was found on a child's bed this week at the apartment in Val-de-Marne, while its 30-year-old owner was hiding in a neighbour's closet.

It's thought the man was planning to try and sell the lion, while police were tipped off after seeing videos of the baby animal on social media.
