If your child owns a fidget spinner you need to read this

    If your child owns a fidget spinner you need to read this Chances are that if you have a child, or know someone who does, you'll be aware of the fidget spinner craze. But local authorities are now recalling some of the 'toys' due to fears over safety. Hundreds of shops and supermarkets have been forced to clear their shelves of the addictive pocket toy after trading standards officers from Bath and North East Somerset Council asked for action to be taken to protect younger children against choking and internal bleeding. The safety warnings refer mainly to the more advanced spinners which feature LED lights with lithium-ion batteries as they 'could cause choking and internal bleeding if swallowed by young children,' The Independent reports.

17 year old Muslim girl Nabra Hassanen abducted and killed on way home from Virginia mosque

    A 17-year-old Muslim girl was assaulted, abducted and killed as she was travelling home in Virginia on Sunday, after attending her local mosque.

Finsbury Park mosque warned about anti-Muslim hate crime

    Muslims at Finsbury Park mosque were warned about Islamophobic hate crime by a watch group just three days before a terror attack outside the mosque, which killed one man and injured 10. Staff from organisation Tell MAMA had been at the Muslim Welfare House mosque on Friday, informing the congregation about the need to report anti-Muslim hatred and to maintain their safety during Ramadan. They had urged members of the local congregation to maintain vigilance during Ramadan, when many observing the holy month wear clothes that identify them as Muslims. Eight people were taken to hospital after a van ploughed into worshippers outside the mosque just after midnight on Monday morning. They had been helping a man who had collapsed and has died, but it is unclear whether this wa...

The Finsbury Park Mosque attack was evil terrorism that will never succeed

    Prime Minister Theresa May has denounced the attack on Finsbury Park Mosque as an act of evil against the ordinary and innocent. Speaking at Number 10 Downing Street on Monday morning, May said no act of terrorism will succeed in dividing Britain. It was an attack that targeted the ordinary and the innocent, the prime minister said. Today we come together as we have done before to condemn this act and state an act of hatred of this kind will never succeed in dividing us. Like all terrorism, in whatever form, it shares the same goal: to drive us apart. We will not let this happen. There has been far too much tolerance of extremism in this country, May added. That's extremism of any kind including Islamaphobia. The prime minister was speaking in Westminster after a man who i...

Grenfell Tower fire dead rises to 79 but police warn that may change: Residents says more than 500 hundred died in tragedy

    The number of people killed in the Grenfell Tower disaster has risen to 79 but that figure could still change, police say. Fighting back tears as he spoke, Metropolitan Police Commander Stuart Cundy said five people had been formally identified - but warned that some victims may never be identified. All the latest news, views and opinion on the Grenfell tragedy The awful reality is, as I've said before, is that due to the intensity of the fire and the devastation within Grenfell Tower that we may not be able to identify everybody that died, he said. We have been from the top to the bottom of Grenfell Tower. The search operation will be painstaking and having been in there myself it's really hard to describe the devastation that the fire has caused. Following his announceme...
