"It's reported that the festival allows children playing with the lion as an entertainment."... This is nonsense!!!
A terrible video shows a six-month-old lion cub attacks a girl in Saudi Arabia after dozens of children are arranged to play with the predator in a festival.
The children run with the lion before the fierce animal tries to hunt for the girl. It lapped to the girl in a black top and chequered trousers.
It's reported that the festival allows children playing with the lion as an entertainment in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The attacked youngster can be seen screaming and trying to kick the big animal away while the lion stands on its hind legs grabs her head with its paws.
Serval people jump to help save the girl.
The local media said the girl had not come to harm while the lion had undergone a claw removal.
Authorities in Jeddah are investigating the incident.
LONDON (AP) — John Stones was substituted early after sustaining a suspected adductor injury in England's friendly match with Belgium on Tuesday.
The Manchester City defender was replaced by Joe Gomez after 10 minutes at Wembley Stadium.
Stones signaled that he was in discomfort after kicking the ball in the opening minutes, which prompted England to quickly prepare Gomez to come on.
“Of course we're disappointed if he's got a problem. It looks like it's in the adductor area,” England manager Gareth Southgate said. “He came in on the back of not playing for two weeks, so it's not about overload. But I hate sending players back to their clubs injured.”
The game ended in a 2-2 draw after Jude Bellingham’s equalizer in the fifth minute of stoppage time. Youri Tielemans had scored either side of an Ivan Toney penalty in the first half.
Stones is the latest injury concern for Southgate and City boss Pep Guardiola after Kyle Walker hurt his hamstring in Saturday's game against Brazil.

Stones and Walker are both key players for club and country and are expected to be part of Southgate's squad for the European Championship at the end of the season.
City, meanwhile, is defending its Premier League, Champions League and FA Cup trophies in the final month of the campaign.
City plays Real Madrid in the Champions League quarterfinals on April 9 and 17.
It also faces Premier League leader Arsenal in a top-of-the-table clash at Etihad Stadium on Sunday.
