The Queen’s security threatened by squatters residing in building close to Buckingham Palace

    The Queen's security could be at risk from serial squatters who invaded a building just metres away from Buckingham Palace, the property's owners claimed. Around a dozen activists moved into the seven-storey property on Buckingham Gate, in the shadow of the monarch's residence, rebranding it the Rogue Embassy. Court documents shown to the Press Association by the squatters cited a Metropolitan Police royal specialist protection officer who flagged a potential security risk  posed by the group. Concerns were raised that, if the occupiers accessed the adjoining roof, they could directly peer into the gardens of the royal grounds. But one of the protesters insisted they were not going to do anything. A witness statement filed by Archie Riby-Williams, a director of 18-19 Bucki...

Melania Trump would have been priority for deportation under new immigration rules

    Melania Trump could have been deported and banned from the US if Donald Trump had been president when she was working as a model in the 1990s, immigration attorneys have said. In 1996, Ms Trump then Knauss was paid for modelling work undertaken in the United States while travelling on a visitor or tourist visa, violating the terms of entry, according to documents obtained by the Associated Press. The first lady allegedly earned more than $20,000 in the seven weeks before she acquired legal permission to work in the country. She went on to apply for a green card in 2001 and became a naturalised US citizen in 2006 without disclosing any past indiscretions. Under new rules brought in by Mr Trump last month, immigration officials are now required to prioritize the removal of a...

North Korea has 5,000 tonnes of chemical weapons including nerve agent VX

    North Korea has up to 5,000 tonnes of chemical weapons, South Korean experts said Friday, including the toxin used to assassinate its leader’s half-brother. Traces of VX  a nerve agent listed as a weapon of mass destruction by the United Nations  were detected on swabs from the face and eyes of Kim Jong-Nam, who was poisoned at Kuala Lumpur’s international airport last week, Malaysian police said Friday. Malaysian detectives are holding three people women from Indonesia and Vietnam, and a North Korean man but want to speak to seven others, four of whom are believed to have fled to Pyongyang. South Korea’s defence ministry said in its 2014 Defence White Paper that the North began producing chemical weapons in the 1980s and estimated that it has about 2,500 to 5,000 tonnes i...

Is this how World war III starts

    It’s cold and I’m alone. I walk along Khreshchatyk, this city’s main boulevard. The street lights cast shadows on the ground, concealing patches of slippery ice and trampled snow. I walk thoughtfully and carefully, unable to clearly see the obstacles in my path. As is so often the case in a foreign country, even in one that starts to feel like home, the compiled differences in language and life experience isolate you, making you hyper aware to minute details. A small group of soldiers in uniform huddle outside a bar. They’re smoking cigarettes. A group of pretty young women in leather high-heeled boots and black fur coats walk past. The soldiers are young men, but they hardly seem to notice. Their war isn’t over, and they’re not yet ready to pretend like it is. Old women s...

Donald Trump says he is totally in favour of wonderful EU

    Donald Trump has described the European Union as wonderful and said he is “totally in favour of it”, despite having in the past praised Britain as smart for pursuing Brexit. The US President, who has made no secret of his dislike of the Brussels bloc, said he had very good relations with the EU, but I thought that the UK would pull out of Brexit and I was right. The EU, I’m totally in favour of it. I think it’s wonderful, if they’re happy. If they’re happy I’m in favour of it, he said. Mr Trump’s about-turn follows previous criticisms levelled at the 28-member bloc for acting as a vehicle for Germany. He has also predicted that other member states would leave the EU. Mr Trump said during an interview in January: You look at the European Union and it’s Germany. Basically a ...

Suicide bomber kills 42 near Syria town taken from IS

    Turkish-backed Syrian rebels patrol through the town of al-Bab shortly after they captured it from the Islamic State (IS) group. Beirut, Lebanon: A suicide bomber attacked Turkish-backed rebels just outside the Syrian town of Al-Bab Friday, killing 42 people in a major blow just hours after they hailed its capture from the Islamic State group. The bomber blew up a vehicle packed with explosives outside a rebel command centre in the village of Susian, eight kilometres (five miles) northeast of Al-Bab, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. The blast devastated the twin command posts and also seriously wounded a large number of fighters, the Britain-based monitoring group said. Most of the dead were fighters. There was no immediate claim for the attack but it bore all...
