A YouTube star who tricked a homeless man into eating biscuits filled with toothpaste and then posted footage of the incident online has been sentenced to 15 months in prison and ordered to pay his victim €20,000 in “moral damages”.

A judge in Barcelona also banned Kanghua Ren, better known as ReSet, from having any social media accounts for five years.

ReSet, who was born in China but grew up in Spain, was among the 200 most popular YouTubers in Spain and Latin America, with 1.1 million followers.

In 2017 he accepted a dare to scrape the cream out of Oreo cookies and replace it with toothpaste.

He found a Romanian man who was living on the streets of Barcelona, handed him the doctored biscuits and a €20 note, and filmed the encounter. The man later vomited.

“Maybe I went a little too far, but look on the bright side: this helped him clean his teeth,” ReSet, 21, said. “I don’t think he’s brushed them since he became poor.”

Shortly before landing, Donald Trump tweeted a typically aggressive broadside against London mayor Sadiq Khan -- and it appears Khan was still on his mind as he stepped off the plane moments later.

Trump shared his "very strong views" about Khan with British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt while the pair met on the tarmac, Hunt told the BBC.

"He mentioned to me some of his feelings about the Mayor of London, which I saw subsequently he just tweeted out as well," Hunt said.

Asked to go into detail about what Trump had said, Hunt added: "He wasn't exactly saying that he's going to inviting Sadiq Khan for royal treatment at the White House anytime soon."

"What he said to me was consistent with what was in his tweet, let's put it like that," Hunt said.

Apple appears to be giving us even more indication that those rumors about the death of iTunes may hold water.

As noted on Reddit and reported by MacRumors, Apple’s iTunes pages on Facebook and Instagram have been scrubbed of their content just days ahead of Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), its annual event at which the company is reportedly planning to announce it’s killing the 18-year-old app (and not a moment too soon, in our opinion).

The Instagram account for iTunes currently directs visitors to its Apple TV page, while the page’s link directs to Apple TV+. MacRumors noted that on Facebook, it appears as though Apple may have moved the content from its iTunes page over to its Apple TV page. Curiously, however, its Twitter account appears to be fine.

Back in April, developer Steve Troughton-Smith tweeted that he was “fairly confident based on evidence I don’t wish to make public at this point that Apple is planning new (likely UIKit) Music, Podcasts, perhaps even Books, apps for macOS, to join the new TV app,” adding that this also meant “the much-discussed and long-awaited break up of iTunes.” And as we inch ever closer to WWDC, which kicks off on Monday, that rumor has hit full-on fever pitch.

Elizabeth Warren is the George Harrison of the 2020 field.

(2) Biden is Paul, popular hitmaker against whom critiques are levied, but when he's onstage he generally nails it.

Also he wants you to know that he's edgier than you think.

And I get why you hate Wonderful Christmastime; but it's extremely popular & less harmful than Trump.

(3) Bernie is John, radical iconoclast revolutionary w/brains, heart & imperfections; who is called both a fool and a communist; but is actually way more mainstream than you think.

(4) There are some Ringos in this field.
And that's ok, bc Ringo is awesome.

And after 2020 ends they will all have very long solo careers.

(5) Kamala Harris is Clapton, who shows up, shreds it, raises everybody's game in the studio and could easily run this thing.

(6) Obama is George Martin, in that he'll probably get a final say

There is no Yoko, bc Yoko doesn't show up til the end

I'm not telling you who's Pete Best.

(7) At some point in the past, every solo Beatle and every 2020 Democrat has done something I’ve really disagreed with. Joe Biden’s about to be vetted for every one of his “Give My Regards To Broad Street” moments.

(8) I'm almost done & there is a point to this.

Because while I look forward to making fun of the 2020 Dem debates I don’t plan on hating any of them, because that’s what Trump wants.

Because hate between center and left factions is Donald Trump’s best hope.

(9) Trump thinks he’s The Stones.

But he's actually just a shitty thieving promoter who rips off the Stones, because he plays their songs at his events without their permission.

Their lawyers keep asking DT to stop, but DT’s never cared really cared much about consent.

(10) In this election I won’t mind if I'm forced to vote for my 23rd choice.

And whatever your 23rd favorite Beatles song is, it’s better than whatever Ted Nugent would play at DT’s 2nd inaugural.

I acknowledge has been the Revolution No. 9 of insufferable analogies.

Thanks.

(11) Oh, and Mayor Pete is Billy Preston. Everyone's saying "don't know how you got here but please join the band."

And if this field was cut in half tomorrow it would still be the most diverse presidential field for a political party in US history.

(12) Oh, and by the 3rd debate at least 1/5 of the field will be Stu Sutcliffe & leave before things even get going. No need to worry about the absurdly large field but get to know their solo careers.
