New Year’s Eve rail strike to hit UK’s busiest station

    The UK's busiest train station will be hit by delays and cancellations on New Year's Eve due to another round of strikes.

Others tried by the court in the same case including leading Egyptian activist Alaa Abdel Fattah and lawmaker and television presenter Tawfik Okasha were instead given fines ranging from 30,000 to 1 million Egyptian pounds.

The Saudi crown prince, Mohammed bin Salman, is about to enter a crucial few months that will show his true motives and the scope of hi...
