Here it is anglicized as the Montreux Bernese Oberland, which doesn't exactly give the MOB initials like the Swiss name of Montreux Oberland Bernois (in French, adjectives usually follow the noun).

catching the illegals, Mexican/US border
As everyone knows, this is a huge problem now not only for America, but also Europe and Australia. The last has taken a tough stance with its holding camps designed to tell the economic migrants and criminals, "try sneaking in and this is what you'll get."

Tuborg tanker in Lyttelton, NZ
But although it's from København or Copenhagen, it wasn't transporting beer. This Nick Tolerton pic is one of some 300 photos of Product Tankers that are in the big new reference book with this title co-authored by him and Mike Pryce and should be available in about 3 months.

SNCB 25.5 class electrics
"Class 25 was intended as a passenger engine. The main differences to Class 23 were the cables on the roof and the provision of wheelslip detection plus an improved starting system. The Class 25 roof cabling was later applied to all Class 22 and 23 locos as they passed through the works. They were painted dark blue with a yellow band low on the body. Unlike the other 1950's locomotives, Class 25.5's nose and side numbers plus their SNCB logos were in chrome rather than being painted on.
"The Class 25.5 was the first class on SNCB to be modified for push-pull operations followed by Class 25. In 1973 the last eight locomotives of Class 25, 2515-2522, received the dual voltage equipment from locomotives 2239-2250 and a third headlamp. They also had Dutch signalling and train protection fitted. Lastly, they were given push-pull equipment. This let them work into Holland hauling push-pull trains operating the Benelux intercity service between Brussels and Amsterdam. This sub-series was renumbered in order 2551-2558 and named Class 25.5."

Apparently, the trailer wasn't made by Skoda but in Poland, perhaps under Skoda license.

a terrified British motorist is attacked in Calais by a gang of chainsaw-wielding Muslim migrants who hurled concrete boulders at his car
These illegals should be put in concentration camps, ideally in Siberia.
A British motorist is warning tourists to avoid Calais after Muslim migrants wielding chainsaws smashed up his Mercedes and hurled petrol bombs in the road.
Rhys Williams, 53, was approaching the French port in the early hours when migrants from the sprawling jungle camp smashed his windows, causing up to £3,000 of damage.
They ran onto the road brandishing chainsaws and throwing Molotov cocktails at the police and passing traffic in scenes that he said 'resembled a war zone'.
