Fire Destroys Islamic Centre In North London
Fire has destroyed an Islamic centre in north London.
It has been reported that the fire at the Al-Rahma Islamic Centre In Muswell Hill is though to have been a racially motivated attack, and is being treated as suspicious.
The BBC have reported on a spokesman saying that the letters EDL were painted onto the building. It is thought the letters refer to the English Defence League.
Men Film Themselves Climbing 315ft Tower Crane
Security at building sites in Southampton is to be stepped up after three men filmed themselves climbing and hanging from a tower crane almost 315ft above the ground.
Three men bypassed an anti-climb shield at the base of the tower at Admiral’s Quay, where a 26-story residential tower is under construction.
A video was later uploaded online showing one of the men hanging by one hand from the tower.
Police and the site owners have pledged to step up security.
Air Ambulance Diverted Because Of BBQ Smoke
An air ambulance had to be diverted because smoke from a barbecue was obscuring the landing pad.
The helicopter was carrying a patient to Lorn and Islands Hospital, Oban at around 21:00 last Thursday.
However, smoke from a barbecue being used by doctors meant the flight was diverted to Oban airport, seven miles away and the patient was driven back.
Reports confirm that the patient transfer was a non-emergency.
