Dead of Summer"s Camp Stillwater Is About to Scare the Parachute Pants Right Off of You

The "80s are alive and terrifying on Freeform. And we don"t just mean the fashion choices, either.

In this clip from new series Dead of Summer, exclusive to E! News, the scene has been set for plenty of bloodshed among the fresh faced camp counselors attempting to re-open Camp Stillwater after closing under suspicious (read: deadly) circumstances five years back. Don"t believe us? Allow Joel (Eli Goree) to explain.

"We"re in the middle of the woods," he tells his buddies around the campfire. "No phones, no cars, no weapons. No locks on the cabin doors. Anyone could come in through the forest or on the lake. Through that one little gate on the main road, someone could come in and kill each and every one of us. They wouldn"t find the bodies for days."

While Joel"s not exactly winning anyone over with his sunny disposition, could his fears about Stillwater turning into Camp Crystal Lake (you know, from Friday the 13th) be about to come true? Well, you"re going to have to press play on the video above to find out.

Hailing from Once Upon a Time co-creators Eddy Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, as well as executive producers Ian Goldberg and Steve Pearlman, Dead of Summer stars Elizabeth Mitchell as Deb, the former camper who"s taking on the clearly doomed task of reopening Stillwater as its dark, ancient mythology reawakens. Starring as her collection of disposable camp counselors are Elizabeth Lail, Zelda Williams, Mark Indelicato, Alberto Frezza, Ronen Rubenstein, Amber Coney, and Paulina Singer, as well as Goree.

Are you ready for a summer of evil at Camp Stillwater? Sound off in the comments below!

People who witnessed the Istanbul suicide bombings share terrifying details of the attack


Dozens dead in Istanbul airport suicide attack

Witness accounts are pouring in following the suicide bombings at Istanbul"s international airport that left at least 36 dead on Tuesday.

The witnesses described a scene of terror and chaos as the attackers detonated their explosives and opened fire.

"There was blood and injured passengers everywhere," one witness from Iran told BuzzFeed:

"We heard gunshots when we were checking in. I grabbed my family and ran," Jim Hyong Lee of South Korea told The Telegraph. "Someone waved us into the prayer room and hid us there until the police came."

One traveler at the airport, Laurence Cameron, told CNN he had just gotten off an airplane to find a scene similar to "a disaster movie."

"It was just a massive crowd of screaming people. Some were falling over themselves. A poor chap in a wheelchair was just left, and everyone just rushed to the back of the building, and then people ran the other way and no one really seemed to know what was going on," he told CNN.

"It looked like someone had gone around with a bulldozer and just shredded the entire entrance to the terminal."

Another witness told CNN that authorities herded her and about 30 other people into a women"s prayer room. She said when they were released into the main terminal hall, she saw b****y boot marks on the floor.

"There was a lot of blood," she told CNN. "There was so much glass on the floor they were scuffing it aside so we didn"t slip."

Judy Favish described a similar scene in the main hall.

"Chaos and blood and people running around and anxious and worried. It was just horrible," witness Judy Favish told CBS News.

She said authorities huddled her and other travelers in a basement cafeteria for more than two hours after the explosions. Some of the people she was with had been shot and were bleeding, she said.

"There were a couple of people who had really bad panic attacks, and were literally convulsing they were so anxious," she told CBS News. "And then another woman, I think she must have had a heart attack, again from anxiety."

Tim Tebow leaps into action during medical emergency


Tim Tebow Leads Prayer After In-Flight Emergency

Former NFL star Tim Tebow and the Delta Air Lines flight crew lept into action over the weekend to help a man experiencing a medical emergency.

Richard V. Gotti wrote in a Facebook post on Sunday about the in-flight medical emergency on a Phoenix-bound flight from Atlanta that he witnessed.

Gotti said that a man a few rows ahead of him began suffering what appeared to be heart problems. He said that everyone onboard the plane helped whether it was it was chest compressions, starting an IV, helping breathe life into this man, or praying

The crew of Delta Airlines were amazing. They acted in a fast and professional manner! Then all of a sudden, I observed a guy walking down the aisle, Gotti continued.

He then noticed a man starting to walk down the aisle toward the family that was in distress.

I observed a guy walking down the aisle. That guy was Tim Tebow. He met with the family as they cried on his shoulder! I watched Tim pray with the entire section of the plane for this man. He made a stand for G*d in a difficult situation, Gotti added.

He also said when the plane landed in Phoenix, the man got a pulse back. However, People Magazine reported the man later died in a hospital

According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Delta Air Lines spokesman Brian Kruse confirmed that there had been a medical emergency during the flight and that paramedics were there to greet the plane to give the passenger immediate care.

We cant say enough about the Delta professionals who care for our customers every day and we are grateful to our customers who are so often quick to extend kindness and care to one another, he said.

Gottis Facebook post has been shared more than 5,000 times since his posting.

Tebow has made no mention of the incident on the plane and Delta Air Lines doesnt release information about who is onboard their flights.

A separate Instagram photo posted by Pamela Rainey shows Tebow sitting in front of her and a mention of the medical emergency that was on the flight.

Nigel Farage backs Donald Trump: "There is nothing on Earth that could persuade me ever to vote for Hillary Clinton"


Nigel Farage first speech post-Brexit vote: You"re not laughing now

Nigel Farage has backed Donald Trump for US president and said he would never supportHillary Clinton, just days after the Republican congratulated the UKs decision to secede from the European Union.

Speaking to CNN from Brussels, UKIP leader Mr Farage praised Mr Trump but said he had far bigger problems than that of his counterpart.

Donald Trump dares to talk about things that other people want to brush under the carpet, he said.

My problems in politics are far greater than Donald Trumps. We literally have lost our sovereignty, we have lost our borders, lost our ability to regulate, he added.

The problem youve got in the US is illegal immigration. Our problem is legal immigration to half a billion people, he said, referring to the free movement between EU countries.

Mr Trump heard about the Brexit result on a visit to his golf course in Scotland, and claimed the UK had "taken back its country", echoing the words of Mr Farage.

Mr Farage, who was crowing over his EU victory last week, said that Mr Trump would be better for the UK than president Barack Obama, and thathe would not vote for democrat HillaryClinton.

There is nothing on Earth that could persuade me ever to vote for Hillary Clinton, he said.

She represents the political elite, its almost as if she feels she has the divine right to have that job.

While Mr Obama has said the UK would move to the back of the queue in terms of trade deals if it left the EU, Mr Trump has insisted the UK would remain at the front of the line.

Mr Farage"s comments comethe same day that he was widely mocked in the European parliament.MEPs booed and shouted over him as he tried to talk about EU-UK trade deals.

Lets stop threatening, lets stop being silly. You need us far more than we need you, he told CNN.

Since the referendum result on Friday, Mr Farage has admitted that he feels betrayed by members of the Tory government who appear to be backtracking on whether or not the UK can clamp down on immigration and still keep access to the single market.

Asked why he did not challenge his fellow Brexit campaigners" claims that leaving the EU would free up 350 million per week for the NHS, a claim that has since been widely discredited, he laughed:Im just too soft, too kind and too easy."

The UKIP leader was then asked how much damage to the EU and the economy he was willing to put at stake in order to leave the union.

Freedom, independence and democracy and not being slaves to anyone else - you cant put a price on that, he replied.

Why are you here?: Juncker and MEPs mock Nigel Farage at the European Parliament


Nigel Farage Reacts To Global Turmoil After British Vote To Leave European Union - Cavuto

Amid the shocked dismay of Brexit on Friday morning, there was some small, vindictive consolation to be had from the discomfort of Boris Johnson as he left his handsome home in EU-loving Islington to cat-calls from inflamed north London europhiles. They werent alone in their displeasure at the result. Soon, a petition calling for Londependence had gathered tens of thousands of names and Sadiq Khan, Johnsons successor as London mayor, was being urged to declare the capital a separate city-state that would defiantly remain in the EU.

Well, he did have a mandate of a kind: almost 60 per centof Londoners thought the UK would be Stronger In. It was the largest Remain margin in England even larger than the hefty one of 14 per centby which Khan defeated Tory eurosceptic Zac Goldsmith to become mayor in May and not much smaller than Scotlands. Khans response was to stress the importance of retaining access to the single market and to describe as crucial London having an input into the renegotiation of the UKs relationship with the EU, alongside Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Its possible to take a dim view of all this. Why should London have a special say in the terms on which the UK withdraws from the EU when it ended up on the wrong side of the peoples will? Calling for London to formally uncouple from the rest of the UK, even as a joke to cheer gloomy Inners up, might be seen as vindicating small-town Outer resentment of the metropolis and its smug elites. In any case, it isnt going to happen. No, really. There will be no sovereign Greater London nation with its own passport, flag and wraparound border with Home Counties England any time soon.

Imagine the practicalities. Currency wouldnt be a problem, as the newborn city-state would convert to the euro in a trice, but there would be immediate secessionist agitation in the five London boroughs of 32 that wanted Out: Cheam would assert its historic links with Surrey; stallholders in Romford market would raise the flag of Essex County Council. Then there is the Queen to think about. Plainly, Buckingham Palace could no longer be the HQ of a foreign head of state, but given the monarchs age would it be fair to turf her out?

Step away from the fun-filled fantasy though, and see that Brexit has underlined just how dependent the UK is on Londons economic power and the case for that power to be protected and even enhanced. Greater London contains 13 per centof the UKs population, yet generates 23 per centof its economic output. Much of the tax raised in London is spent on the rest of the country 20 per centby some calculations largely because it contains more business and higher earners. The capital has long subsidised the rest the UK, just as the EU has funded attempts to regenerate its poorer regions.

Like it or not, foreign capital and foreign labour have been integral to the burgeoning of the world city from which even the most europhobic corners of the island nation benefit in terms of public spending. If Leaver mentality outside the capital was partly about resentment of rich London, with its bankers and big businesses handy targets for Nigel Farage and fuelled by a fear of an alien internationalism London might symbolise, then it may prove to have been sadly self-defeating.

Ensuring that London maintains the economic resilience it has shown since the mid-Nineties must now be a priority for national government,(once it decides to reappear). Pessimists predict a loss of jobs, disinvestment and a decrease in cultural energy. Some have mooted a special post-Brexit deal for the capital that might suit the interests of EU member states too Londons economy is, after all, larger than that of Denmark, not to mention larger than that of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland combined though what that might be and how that could happen remain obscure.

There is, though, no real barrier to greater devolution of powers to London other than the political will of central government. Allowing more decisions about how taxes raised in the capital are spent in the capital, both at mayoral and borough level, would strengthen the city in terms of managing its own growth, addressing its (often forgotten) poverty and enhancing the skills of its workforce.

Handing down control over the spending of property taxes, as set out in an influential 2013 report by the London Finance Commission set up by Mayor Johnson, would be a logical place to start. Mayor Khans manifesto pledged to campaign for strategic powers over further education and health service co-ordination, so that these can be better tailored to Londons needs. Since Brexit, he has underlined the value of London securing greater command of its own destiny.

This isnt just a London thing, and neither should it be. Plans are already in place for other English cities and city regions to enjoy more autonomy under the auspices of directly elected metro mayors, notably for Greater Manchester and Liverpool and its environs. One of the lessons of Brexit for the UK is that many people have felt that decisions about their futures have been taken at too great a distance from them and with too little regard for what they want and how they feel.

That lesson holds for London too 40 per centis a large minority. Boris Johnson was an advocate of devolution to London when he was its mayor and secured some, thanks to the more progressive side of Tory localism. If he becomes prime minister, it would be good for London and for the country as a whole if he remembered that.

Pound to Dollar X-Rate Crashes Monday, GBP/USD @ 1.20 Now Forecast as UK Seen Entering Recession


US Dollar vs the British pound
The UK economy is headed for recession say a number of analysts, something that will ensure the headline GBP to USD exchange rate remains under pressure for some time.
  • We expect cable to fall into the mid-1.2000s in the second half of this year" - Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi.
  • "We would, however note that sharp sell-offs in GBP have historically proved short-lived." - Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
  • 1.20 is worst-case scenario say CIBC Markets
  • 1.30 appears to be first major level of support

The GBP/USD exchange rate gapped lower on the open to Monday trade as traders return to their desks.

The pair closed at 1.3679 on Friday and it opened at 1.3497 on Monday. Hence the term "gap".

Gapping has predictive powers in that it usually occurs at the start of a trend. No guesses as to the direction this trend is likely to take!

In short, not enough political developments occured over the weekend to convince traders that the Brexit-inspired turmoil seen since Thursday the 23rd would soon come to an end.

Look for the 30 year lows at 1.3238 to be tested over coming days.

"Technically, GBPUSDs pace of drop is likely to slow but there are no indicators to pinpoint where the bottom will be when declines finally abate. We view 1.30 to be a firm support and could trigger a modest bounce," says a client breif from Hong Leong Bank Berhad.

With the UK in something of a political vacuum it is unsurprising that investors, despite soothing words from the UK Chancellor, continue to prefer to play Sterling from the short side.

After a brief relief rally in GBP we have seen fresh GBP lows versus the USD.

"We warned ahead of the event that Sterling could depreciate by around 15-20% on an out vote," says Jeremy Stretch, analyst with CIBC Markets.

That would suggest seeing GBP-USD trading back towards 1.20-1.2750 on CIBC"s worst case basis forecsats.

In order to facilitate such negativity that would likely require the UK political infighting to extend.

This comes as the opposition Labour party are in meltdown while the governing Conservatives decide who will contest the leadership vacancy.

PM Cameron stated last week that he wants a new Conservative leader in place by October.

UK Recession Ahead?

The British people have voted to leave the European Union, and this time they will take full ownership of any negative economic consequences - there are no bankers to blame for any negative economic impacts.

Bank of America"s Ralf Preusser believes the UK is headed for recession as a result of the increased uncertainty businesses now face, noting:

"Prolonged uncertainty could lead investors - including residential investors - to postpone decisions. We think a recession in the UK will ensue, which cuts our calendar year 2017 GDP growth forecast to 0.2% from 2.3%, even with the Bank of England (BoE) stimulating."

A country is termed to be in recession when it experiences two successive quarters of negtive growth.

Barclays have confirmed they see GDP growth falling to -0.1% in the third and fourth quarters of 2016.

Credit Suisse are in agreement:

While the actual path to exit is not yet clear, there are nonetheless profoundimplications for the UK. We expect a recession in the second half of the yearand policy easing from the Bank of England. The domestic political turbulencemay complicate the process of actually leaving the EU, says Ric Deverell, Research Analyst at Credit Suisse.

For currencies, when central banks cut interest rates a necessary downward adjustment takes place.

This is because lower rates attract lower capital inflows as investors direct their money elsewhere.

The increased risk of recession in the UK and looser BoE policy in the year ahead justify a weaker pound. Capital inflows into the UK will also be dampened making it more challenging to the finance the UKs elevated current account deficit requiring a weaker pound, says Lee Hardman, Currency Analyst at Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi.

Pound Appears to Stabilise, But Beware the Falling Knife

We saw the GBP bounce from its Brexit-shock lows as a swathe of buyers jumped into the market to buy a discounted currency.

For instance, on Friday the 24th, foreign exchange brokers UKForex saw a 400% increase in customers making currency transfers while HiFX saw a 500% increase as clients flocked to buy sterling at an exceptionally cheap rate.

There will certainly be a temptation for speculators to buy into the market in anticipation of the bounce extending.

"There are at least three reasons why the exchange rate has not fallen further," says analyst John Higgins at Capital Economics.

The first, according to Higgins, is the rapid shift in the rhetoric of pro-Remain policymakers Project Fear has been by replaced Project Reassure.

The second is the recognition that not much is likely to change in the short run in terms of the UKs relationship with the EU a lengthy period of negotiation lies ahead.

And the third has to do with expectations for monetary policy "while investors have wasted no time in discounting more easing in the UK and less tightening in the US, there has not been that much change in the spread between expected interest rates in the two countries," says Higgins.

Ultimately GBP Will Continue Lower

The outlook for the pound is understandably negative with in light of forecasts for a UK recession.

Those looking to buy into any recovery bounces should be aware that such moves are likely to be short-lived.

Bank of America are wary of trying to capitalise on any bounce in the pound noting:

"GBP has fallen sharply across the board following the vote to Leave with losses concentrated versus USD, JPY and CHF. The move has been particularly strong given the recent rise in optimism that the Remain vote would prevail, thus propelling GBP higher.

"Further GBP losses are likely over the near-term and a move towards 1.30 in GBP/USD cannot be ruled out. We would, however note that sharp sell-offs in GBP have historically proved short-lived. For now, this may not be the time to catch a falling knife."

Credit Suisse also believe that there is further downside ahead.

While we acknowledge the risk of a technical bounce back, we think the repricing in many markets has further to run, says Credit Suisse"s Deverell.

The dollar rally is forecast to continue, with the GBP to USD conversion moving into the 1.20s.

The only note of caution is the possibility of central bank intervention possibly in a coordinated fashion, says Deverell.

Bank of Tokyos Lee Hardman is also seeing a GBP into USD conversion in the 1.20s.

We expect cable to fall into the mid-1.2000s in the second half of this year before rebounding modestly back above the 1.3000- level in 2017 as heightened uncertainty gradually eases.

The pound is already significantly weak according to Bank of Tokyos long-term valuation models which should help to dampen further downside unless there is a run on the pound.
