Trump after he praises 100-year-old Panama Canal in meeting with Panamanian president

    US President Donald Trump met Panamanian President Juan Carlos Varela at the White House on Monday and took the opportunity to discuss security, the battle against drug trafficking, economic issues - and the Panama Canal. During a photo opportunity in the Oval Office, Trump said the US did a good job building the more than 100-year-old Panama Canal. The Panama Canal was constructed by the US from 1904 to 1914 and connects the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. The US later transferred control of the canal to Panama in December 1999.

EDL founder Tommy Robinson’s appearance on Good Morning Britain sparks outrage after Finsbury Park mosque attack

    Tommy Robinson's appearance on Good Morning Britain has sparked outrage as the EDL founder attacked the Quran as a violent and cursed book the day after the Finsbury Park terror attack. Piers Morgan branded Mr Robinson a bigoted lunatic and told him to show some damn respect for people’s religious beliefs as Mr Robinson held up the Islamic holy book. Mr Morgan said: Now you're sounding like a complete lunatic. You're sounding like a bigoted lunatic. You are an Islamophobe who hates Islam, you basically think all Muslims are to blame. What you are doing now is deliberately inflammatory, its deliberately poisonous, and you are having the complete opposite effect to the one you say you have.

    Firefighters assess the wreckage of a van that burst into flames following a crash on the A16 in northern France, killing the driver. A van driver has died near Calais after refugees blockaded a motorway with tree trunks, causing a crash in which the vehicle caught fire. The vehicle, reportedly registered in Poland, ignited early on Tuesday morning after ploughing into a lorry that had been forced to stop because of the obstruction.
