Novichok victim’s property searched

A DIABETIC woman has been awarded £2,000 after staff at a concert confiscated her fizzy drink.

Kayla Hanna, 20, who has Type 1 diabetes, showed door staff her diabetes tattoo and insulin pack at a Red Hot Chili Peppers concert in Belfast in August 2016.

She said she always carries Lucozade to ensure she can quickly top up her blood sugar level when she needs to. The court said Eventsec had failed to provide reasonable judgement to its liquids policy. police investigating the fire on Winter Hill, near Bolton.

The arrest comes as fire crews from Greater Manchester were released from tackling the blaze as good progress was made. A NURSE who was arrested on suspicion of the murders of eight babies and the attempted murder of six other infants has been bailed.

Lucy Letby, 28, was arrested on Tuesday as part of a police inquiry into the deaths of 17 babies at the Countess of Chester Hospital’s neonatal unit.

Yesterday, a Cheshire Police spokesman said the arrested health worker, whose identity has not been confirmed by the force, had been bailed pending further inquiries. DONALD TRUMP will be kept well outside London for the bulk of his first visit to the UK as US President, avoiding protesters who are expected to gather in the capital.

Instead the president will be whisked off for a tour of some of England’s most impressive historic buildings before departing for Scotland for a relaxing weekend, part of which is expected to be spent on the golf course.

The visit, which starts on Thursday, takes in a lavish dinner at Blenheim Palace, a working lunch with Theresa May at her country residence Chequers and a meeting with the Queen at Windsor Castle, but only a brief overnight stay in London.

It seems unlikely that the President will come close enough to Westminster to see a ‘Trump baby’ blimp which protesters plan to fly over the Houses of Parliament, after receiving permission from London Mayor Sadiq Khan.

Asked whether the President’s schedule was designed to keep him away from possible protests, a Downing Street spokeswoman said: “Prime ministers frequently make use of Chequers for meetings with foreign leaders. It offers a more informal setting for important bilateral discussions.”

Previous presidents Richard Nixon, George Bush Senior and George Bush Junior have all visited the 16th-century country Buckinghamshire manor house for meetings with former PMs.

“We’re looking forward to making sure the president has a chance to see and experience the UK beyond London and the South-East,” said the Number 10 spokeswoman. FORENSIC investigators in hazardous material suits and gas masks have begun searching the building where one of the latest Novichok victims lives.

Two people in camouflage protective clothing entered the John Baker House assisted-living accommodation in Salisbury, where mother-of-three Dawn Sturgess, lives after they took a sample from the outside of the building shortly after 3pm yesterday.

The building is a short distance away from many of the sites closed to the public after the attempted murder of a former Russian spy with the nerve agent in March.

Ms Sturgess, 44, and her partner, Charlie Rowley, 45, remain in a critical condition after being taken ill last Saturday after touching a contaminated item.

Those in camouflage were followed in by two others, one of whom was taking pictures, as they began combing for the deadly substance.

They took a swab from the exterior of the building on Rollestone Street, which is now under a heavy cordon and lined by forensic tents. There was also a heavy operational presence at Mr Rowley’s flat, where they were both taken ill. Incident response vehicles and fire engines joined police at his Amesbury home.

Police have been unable to locate the source of the contamination and have not ruled out more people falling ill from coming into contact with the substance left over after Sergei and Yulia Skripal were targeted.

Wiltshire residents have been told to expect investigators in hazardous material suits to descend on the scenes, while other sites the couple were known to have visited before being taken ill are behind cordons.

One theory understood to be under investigation is whether the pair inadvertently found the container used to transport the nerve agent in the Skripal attack before being recklessly discarded. Mr Rowley has been described as having foraged for goods to fix and sell, and is known to have collected discarded cigarettes.

Wiltshire Chief Constable Kier Pritchard visited the Amesbury site yesterday.

The second nerve agent emergency in four months prompted a diplomatic row, with Home Secretary Sajid Javid accusing the Russian state of using Britain as a “dumping ground for poison”.

The Russian Embassy hit back, accusing the Government of trying to “muddy the waters” and “frighten its own citizens”.

The Defence Science and Technology Laboratory at Porton Down confirmed on Wednesday that the victims had been exposed to Novichok.

“Following further tests of samples from the patients, we now know that they were exposed to the nerve agent after handling a contaminated item,” the Metropolitan Police said.

“Detectives are working as quickly and as diligently as possible to identify the source of the contamination.

“Meticulous and systematic searches are under way at a number of sites.”
