Protesters have staged a rally outside the South Carolina State House in a bid to have the Confederate flag removed from the grounds as legislators gathered inside. Hundreds of people chanted 'take it down' at the demonstration in Columbia as they pushed for local lawmakers to ban the divisive standard. It follows calls from a number of politicians for it to be torn down, including GOP presidential candidate Lindsey Graham, who said: 'God help South Carolina if we fail to achieve the goal of removing the flag.' Protesters held placards, one comparing the flag to a swastika, and listened as community leaders blasted the state government for not acting to remove the emblem of slavery - which many believe has become a rallying symbol for racism and xenophobia in the United States.Hundreds joined demonstration outside the State House in ColombiaPushed for divisive standard to be removed from outside the groundsCharleston County Council president said: 'It's time to get past history'Politicians including Gov.

(CNN) Hurricane Matthew started pounding the eastern coast of Florida as far south as Miami on Thursday afternoon. The storm has been described as historic and extremely dangerous. But there may be one benefit to the storm's torrential rains: It could put a temporary halt on the mosquitoes that spread the Zika virus. To date, there have been 141 locally transmitted cases of Zika reported in Florida since the end of July. What does that have to do with a hurricane? Adult mosquitoes get washed away by heavy rain. This includes Aedes aegypti mosquitoes, which transmit the Zika virus. In the short term, from the first few days to about a week after the storm, the mosquito cycle is naturally interrupted -- and that can have a beneficial effect on Zika transmission. In fact, initially after a big storm, there can be a decrease in all mosquitoes.Heavy rain from storms such as hurricanes can initially decrease mosquito populationsAfter the storm, residents need to use repellant while cleaning up and rebuilding

Queen Letizia and her husband King Felipe of Spain regularly show their support for the arts, travelling up and down the country to attend museum openings and art exhibits. And tonight, the culture-loving monarchs brought some regal glamour to the inaugural performance of the new season at Madrid's Royal Theatre. The mum-of-two, 43, showed off the results of a relaxing summer in the Spanish sun, as well as her much-discussed biceps, in a chic black cocktail dress. She teamed the simple look with a pair of black heels, a clutch and wore her hair in a low up-do. Felipe looked dapper in a double-breasted suit with a white shirt and blue and red patterned tie. Still sporting his clean-shaven look, he doesn't appear to be ready to embrace a beard again.King and Queen of Spain attended the premiere of Roberto Devereux operaThe first show of the season at Madrid's Royal TheatreCulture-loving royals are famous patrons of the Spanish arts
