Outspeak is dying to give you the tastiest news crumpets on this bitter winter morning. So eat up, you filthy vagabonds. Eat from our knowledge and weep tears of sugar.

1. Philippine president Rodrigo Duterte has admitted to personally killing criminals during his time as mayor of Davao city. Further proof that in 2016, governments are no longer for the people. More here.

2. Pokémon GO proved to be a short lived exercise fad. Players probably figured out they'd have more luck catching Pokémon while on the bus. Either that or they're mistaking homeless men with bags of cans for Pokémon. More here.

3. A Harvard professor believes twenty designated 'Trump' electors could switch their vote. Is this really happening? Please save us, faithless electors, please. More here.

4. The ceasefire in Aleppo ended as soon as it started. The Syrian army has resumed bombing. We've done the whole "no jokes here" before. So yeah. More here.

5. A study has shown that women who have abortions do not suffer from ill mental health. Imagine that, allowing women to make their own medical decisions results in positive mental health. More here.
