    Veterans from The Second Battalion of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers march past Parliament on Oct. 18.

    More than 400 veterans from the 2nd Battalion, the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, marched to Parliament in London to protest the government's plans to eliminate the 2nd Battalion, which has served in every major campaign dating back to 1674. According to the BBC, a former colonel said the march was the first of its kind since the days of Oliver Cromwell, more than 300 years ago.

    Damien Hirst's 'Verity' looks over English seaside harbor

    Matt Cardy / Getty Images

    Contractors move Damien Hirst's bronze sculpture of a pregnant woman into position on the harbor wall in Ilfracombe, England on Oct. 16.

    Standing more than 66 feet tall, and weighing more than 55,000 pounds, "Verity", a statue by British artist Damien Hirst was installed on the harbor wall at Ilfracombe in north Devon, South West England. The bronze-clad, sword-wielding statue of a pregnant woman features an anatomical cross-section of her head and body revealing a developing fetus in her stomach.

    Hirst states on his website, ‘Verity’ is a modern-day allegory for truth and justice.

    The statue's title is from the Italian word for truth and she holds the symbols for justice; a sword and a set of scales.

    Hirst has given the statue to the seaside town on a 20-year loan and was erected today by crane onto the pier, according to Getty Images.

    Controversy surrounds artist Damien Hirst's bronze statue of a naked pregnant woman with an exposed fetus that stands at the harbor in Ilfracombe, UK. NBCNews.com's Dara Brown reports.

    The 15-year-old Pakistani girl shot and critically wounded by the Taliban for promoting education for girls and criticizing the militant group traveled to Britain on Monday for further medical treatment, officials said.

    British Foreign Secretary William Hague said Malala Yousufzai would receive specialized care in a hospital in the country’s National Health Service system.

    "Last week's barbaric attack on Malala Yousufzai and her school friends shocked Pakistan and the world.  Malala's bravery in standing up for the right of all young girls in Pakistan to an education is an example to us all,” Hague said in a statement. Continue reading.
