A poacher had abandoned a wooden crate in which he had locked a young gorilla. This ranger, who was tracking the poacher, found him and thus learned that animals are often more empathetic than humans
Henry Nowak was 18 - a kind and hard-working student with his life ahead of him. His murder β at the hands of Vickrum Digwa - was a horrifying and evil act. Digwa murdered Henry and then lied about him, as he lay dying - falsely accusing him of racism.
The Nowak family deserve answers about what happened on that night, particularly in the police response. @policeconduct will be equipped with the resources, authority and independence it needs to conduct a full, fearless and transparent investigation. They must find the truth and ensure, if necessary, that there are consequences.
It is also clear that we must take action to tackle the daily tragedy of knife crime. Progress has been made, with knife crime now falling, but we must go further. That is why I have recently published this Government's Halving Knife Crime Plan.
We must be clear about who is responsible for this crime. The punishment must be reserved for those who are responsible for this evil act. We do not believe in collective punishment in this country. Instead, we stand together against an act of pure evil. We condemn those who committed this heinous crime. Not all those who share their faith or ethnicity.
A final note. With further sentencing and possible charges pending, and misinformation already circulating, we must be cautious in what we say about this case so proceedings are not placed at risk. Those responsible must be brought to justice.
It's a delight when someone you know wins an award - and deservedly so. In this case it's https://t.co/onpPmFhZ06 which has just won a Shoddy award for being "soft on scams" in the Which?
magazine annual awards for shoddy service.
@WhichUK@MrTrevorBaker@bookingcomPA@bookingcom are still enlisting scam businesses, Hotiday which doesn't tell you that they are an agent, they hide behind AI and https://t.co/XSwhJ93x3S can't even get hold of them! They still are advertising on the platform!
9% of the Which? users we asked said they had been sent scam messages through https://t.co/w1RC8t0MgY.
Which? is calling on Ofcom to investigate whether https://t.co/w1RC8t0MgY does enough to protect users, using its powers under the Online Safety Act.

@bookingcom never go to properties or send mystery shoppers to perform due diligence on properties that they allow on their platform. These three are fraudsters who do not respond to messages or direct contact - only use AI - none of which is declared on https://t.co/XSwhJ93x3S
I booked via @booking.com for a mental and physical respite vacation only to arrive and find out that both rooms (one inside the bushes - 2nd room upstairs) still surrounded by over excited teenage boys on a football event at the hotel that stated no parties/events
@bookingcom is in bed with fraudsters @hotiday and protecting them and still doing business with these scammers. if you see Hotiday mentioned anywhere on your next holiday booking - DO NOT BOOK!!!
