The world’s fattest child has been put on a crash diet to save his life.

Arya Permana weighs 30 stone and, unsurprisingly, is classified as being morbidly obese.

He can’t walk any more and had to quit school as a result of his weight, achieved through a five-meals-a-day eating regime.

His parents have been unable to find clothes that fit and he now wears a sarong all the time, finally getting them to come to the conclusion that he needs to stop eating.

His mother Rokayah Somantri said: ‘He is perpetually hungry and has an enormous diet and can actually eat meals of two adults at one time.

Former Soldier Abandons Everest Climb 500m From Finish to Save Fellow Climber Life

A former soldier who was only 500m away from finishing his ascent abandoned his Everest climb to save a fellow climber.

Leslie Binns, 42, from Rotherham, was only 12 hours away from making his final ascent when he spotted a woman sliding down the mountain towards him.

After seeing 32-year-old Sunita Hazra in distress, Leslie told his Sherpa to abandon their climb and help her back to camp.

He gave her his oxygen bottle and escorted her all the way back to his camp where Sunita was then taken to hospital on May 21.

He told the BBC: ‘All we could her were the screams of terror as the person gained momentum. I braced myself to try and stop whoever it was, and managed to do so.’
