UK:Poisoned Spy:

Poisoned Spy: CPS Wanted To Prosecute Russians

The CPS wanted to prosecute two Russians for Alexander Litvinenko's murder, but extradition was refused by Moscow.

A public inquiry into the death of poisoned spy Alexander Litvinenko has been formally opened in London.
Coroner Sir Robert Owen suspended the current inquest into Mr Litvinenko's death before opening the inquiry, which was announced by Home Secretary Theresa May last week.
It will allow investigators to probe whether Moscow was behind the former KGB officer's murder and comes at a time of worsening relations between the UK and Russia.
Mr Litvinenko was poisoned with radioactive polonium-210 while drinking tea with two Russian men, one a former KGB officer, at the Millennium Hotel in London's Grosvenor Square.
His family believes he was working for MI6 at the time and was killed on the orders of the Kremlin.

Immigration staff are "very concerned" about the deadly virus - and are not sure what to do if they spot someone who is infected.

Border, customs and immigration staff feel unprepared to deal with people arriving in Britain who may be carrying the deadly ebola virus, a union leader has warned.
The virus - which has no vaccine and a fatality rate of up to 90% - has now killed nearly 700 people in West Africa, and it is feared it could be spread around the world by infected air passengers.

MH17: Ukraine military announces day-long halt to offensive in east


Ukraine's military has announced a day-long pause in its brutal offensive to oust pro-Russian rebels in the country's east, following a plea from the UN for a truce to allow a stalled probe into the downing of Malaysia Airlines flight MH17 to go ahead.
"We have taken a decision not to conduct military operations on this so-called 'day of quiet'," military spokesman Oleksiy Dmytrashkivsky said.
He said the move was in response to an appeal by UN secretary-general Ban Ki-moon to halt fighting.

Campaign Targets Modern Day Slavery In UK


Border control checks are stepped up across the UK as the number of potential victims of trafficking increases dramatically.

The Government has launched a campaign to raise awareness of the growing problem of modern day slavery in Britain.
Last year 1,746 potential victims of trafficking were identified in the UK, a 47% increase on the figure for 2012.

As part of the campaign, a TV advert shows actors in the kind of squalid conditions that victims are forced to live in.

Checks at airports have also been stepped up with border force officers trained to identify passengers who could be being brought into the country to be treated as slaves.

Argentine debt talks end in failure


Last-minute talks in New York between Argentina and a group of bond-holders to avoid the country defaulting on its debt have ended in failure.
So-called "vulture fund" investors are demanding a full pay-out of $1.3bn (£766m) on bonds they hold.
Argentina has said it cannot afford to do so, and has accused them of using its debt problems to make a big profit.
A US judge set a deadline of 04:00 GMT on Thursday for a deal. The crisis stems from Argentina's 2001 default.
Late on Wednesday evening, Argentina's Economy Minister Axel Kicillof said the investors had rejected the government's latest offer.
"Unfortunately, no agreement was reached and the Republic of Argentina will imminently be in default,"

Nato 'unprepared' for threat, say MPs

Pro-Russian militants sit on a tank in Donetsk, eastern Ukraine
Nato is poorly prepared for an attack on a member state from Russia, an influential group of MPs has warned.
The Commons Defence Committee said the recent Ukraine conflict showed "serious deficiencies" in Nato's preparedness to counter threats - and "radical reform" was needed.
The MPs said the risk of a conventional assault remained low, - but warned over methods such as cyber-attacks and the use of irregular militias.
Nato said it would study the findings.

Women across Turkey are posting photos of themselves laughing and smiling on social media. Why?
Women should not laugh in public. So said Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc in a speech on Monday about "moral corruption" in Turkey. "Chastity is so important," he said. "She will not laugh in public."
His comments have prompted a big backlash from women on social media 

sanctions:push Russia into recession




MH17-related sanctions shock could push Russia into recession

Tighter sanctions have been imposed in the biggest standoff with Russia since the Cold War and now the questions are being asked: who will they hurt and how will the Russians react?
The West was already exasperated by Vladimir Putin's wars in the Ukraine and Crimea. The shooting down of MH17 and the continued fighting around the crash site has galvanised it into action.
"The United States means what it says, and we will rally the international community in standing up for the rights and freedom of people around the world," said US president Barack Obama.
The US and the European Union have announced further sanctions on Russia, targeting its energy, banking and defence sectors.

Victorian-era Eastbourne Pier in southern England badly damaged by fire

Eastbourne pier
A Victorian-era seaside pier on Britain's south coast was badly damaged when fire broke out in an amusement arcade.
Flames leapt from the roof of the two-storey structure at Eastbourne and a large plume of smoke rose above the East Sussex town.
No injuries were reported.
The blaze started around 3:00pm (local time) in the arcade, which is 50 metres from the shoreline, officials said.
Eastbourne's 300-metre pier was opened in 1870 and had been hit by fire before, in 1970.
Several other British piers have also been damaged by fire down the years.
Southend pier on the east coast has caught fire four times; South Parade pier at Southsea has suffered fire three times; Hastings pier, near Eastbourne, was badly damaged in 2010; and Brighton's West Pier was destroyed in 2003.
