The death toll in India's stampede has risen to 115 people officials say, but despite this, the celebration of the Hindu festival goes on.

Another story being talked about is America and its debt crisis. Despite it being on the brink of not paying its bills, there is still a sense of humour here with social media alight with jokes about the situation.
