Question: Facebook rules at a glance: What's banned, exactly?

NEW YORK: Facebook has revealed for the first time just what, exactly, is banned on its service in a new Community Standards document released on Tuesday. It's an updated version of the internal rules the company has used to determine what's allowed and what isn't, down to granular details such as what, exactly, counts as a "credible threat" of violence. The previous public-facing version gave a broad-strokes outline of the rules, but the specifics were shrouded in secrecy for most of Facebook's 2.2 billion users.
Not anymore. Here are just some examples of what the rules ban. Note: Facebook has not changed the actual rules — it has just made them public.
CREDIBLE VIOLENCE
Is there a real-world threat? Facebook looks for "credible statements of intent to commit violence against any person, groups of people, or place (city or smaller)." Is there a bounty or demand for payment? The mention or an image of a specific weapon? A target and at least two details such as location, method or timing? A statement to commit violence against a vulnerable person or group such as "heads-of-state, witnesses and confidential informants, activists, and journalists" counts here too.
Also banned: instructions on "on how to make or use weapons if the goal is to injure or kill people," unless there is "clear context that the content is for an alternative purpose (for example, shared as part of recreational self-defense activities, training by a country's military, commercial video games, or news coverage)."
HATE SPEECH
"We define hate speech as a direct attack on people based on what we call protected characteristics — race, ethnicity, national origin, religious affiliation, sexual orientation, sex, gender, gender identity, and serious disability or disease. We also provide some protections for immigration status," Facebook says. As to what counts as a direct attack, the company says it's any "violent or dehumanizing speech, statements of inferiority, or calls for exclusion or segregation."
There are three tiers of severity, ranging from comparing a protected group to filth or disease to calls to "exclude or segregate" a person our group based on the protected characteristics. Facebook does note that it does "allow criticism of immigration policies and arguments for restricting those policies."
GRAPHIC VIOLENCE
Images of violence against "real people or animals" with comments or captions that contain enjoyment of suffering, humiliation and remarks that speak positively of the violence or "indicating the poster is sharing footage for sensational viewing pleasure" are prohibited. The captions and context matter in this case because Facebook does allow such images in some cases where they are condemned, or shared as news or in a medical setting. Even then, though, the post must be limited so only adults can see them and Facebook adds a warnings screen to the post.
CHILD SEXUAL EXPLOITATION
"We do not allow content that sexually exploits or endangers children. When we become aware of apparent child exploitation, we report it to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC), in compliance with applicable law. We know that sometimes people share nude images of their own children with good intentions; however, we generally remove these images because of the potential for abuse by others and to help avoid the possibility of other people reusing or misappropriating the images," Facebook says. Then, it lists at least 12 specific instances of children in a sexual context, saying the ban includes, but is not limited to these examples. This includes "uncovered female nipples for children older than toddler-age."
ADULT NUDITY AND SEXUAL ACTIVITY
"We understand that nudity can be shared for a variety of reasons, including as a form of protest, to raise awareness about a cause, or for educational or medical reasons. Where such intent is clear, we make allowances for the content. For example, while we restrict some images of female breasts that include the nipple, we allow other images, including those depicting acts of protest, women actively engaged in breast-feeding, and photos of post-mastectomy scarring," Facebook says. That said, the company says it "defaults" to removing sexual imagery to prevent the sharing of non-consensual or underage content. The restrictions apply to images of real people as well as digitally created content, although art — such as drawings, paintings or sculptures — is an exception.

Question: Frustrations apparent as parents seek intervention answers

CLOSE Skip in Skip x Embed x Share Questions raised by public at MPS Intervention Community Meeting

It’s too early for the state intervention team to have many answers in regards to reforming Montgomery Public Schools, but that didn’t stop MPS parents from asking the tough questions.
The first Community Engagement Forum regarding the state’s takeover of 27 underperforming schools was held Monday evening at Lee High School, one of the schools the state is aiming to reform.
The meeting began with an introduction of the problems State Superintendent Michael Sentance and Chief Academic Officer Barbara Cooper have identified in the school system. Sentance said that, besides academics, culture and climate, the biggest concerns for the intervention schools are financial procedures, nutrition and transportation. On an academic level, Sentance said his team is looking to close the gap between the number of students that are ready for college and the graduation rate.
“In a high functioning school, that gap would be eliminated,” Sentance said before adding that chronic absenteeism has been identified as a pressing issue. “Chronic absenteeism is defined as missing 15 or more days of school. We have a distressingly high percentage of such students in these schools so we’re going to focus on school culture and engagement.”
Sentance and those charged with overseeing the takeover are aware of some problematic trends, but Cooper stressed that “not all steps are in place at this time.” Starting at the end of this week, Cooper will begin inspecting the 27 intervention schools to find individual problems so school-specific plans can be tailored to individual school needs and be implemented before the fall semester.
During the question-and-answer portion of the forum, parents were hungry to know what specifics the state could offer regarding the intervention. How will you make the schools improve? Does it start at home or in the classroom? Will curriculum change? Will teachers get fired? How will parents know the state is doing a good job? Why are the principals of the underperforming schools getting a 10 percent raise?
Toward the end, the questions gave way to rants and complaints as the frustrations of the parents and former educators present became apparent.
“Because we haven’t seen any other dramatic or great results,” said Timothy Bass, father of two MPS students, when asked why Montgomerians don’t trust the intervention. “For instance Selma went through an intervention. What great turnaround did you see out of that? That makes us really question.”

Intervention list:Which 27 schools are getting taken over?
Sentance said earlier in the night that the takeover, in terms of splitting the system, “is something that’s never been done before” and “the intervention in Birmingham and Selma weren’t anything like this.” But for parents like Bass, whose children he said have been “failed” by MPS, the intervention team of Cooper, Jermall Wright and intervention CEO Reginald Eggleston is a team of outsiders who have to prove themselves with the fate of Montgomery children hanging in the balance.
Bass said the only way to earn the city’s trust is by showing results.
“We’re going to have to see some major turnaround, some major changes,” Bass said. “People want to see results. They don’t want to see all the big words, the fancy talk, generalities…MPS has failed my kids and my wife and I’s expectations. That’s why I’m here.”
Pastor Allen Bowen's kids attend MPS magnet schools, but even he recognized the consternation of parents whose kids are in a school system in flux.
“We’ve got to stay positive and stay focused for our youth,” Bowen said. “They’re just frustrated and waiting for something to happen. Yes, there’s a lot of finger pointing, but that happens with change. Anytime there’s change and you’re trying to grow, it’s going to be an uncomfortable process. We don’t know what to trust right now. This is the situation we have. We just have to wait and see.”

Until the reviews of the schools are completed and individual plans for each school are implemented, the state can only offer generalities. But they did provide some answers to specific questions. Curriculum could change. Monthly performance reviews for the schools and the plans will allow the public to track initial progress. The intervention is open-ended meaning there is no time limit. After five years, the intervention could be extended or the school could enter a monitoring period. IEPs will still determine the academic plans for special needs students. Teachers will be reviewed to make sure they are certified in their areas of expertise. More than anything, Cooper, Eggleston and Wright will try to change the culture and conduct of a school system whose discipline issues are discussed more than its academic successes.
“We want to make sure we never lose the entire focus on student outcomes,” Sentance said. “We’re not here to go through the motions but actually effect school change so students are moving though the grades competently with the skills they need to be successful in the work force and college.”
About 250 parents were in attendance and about 200 watched the meeting online. Afterwards, Cooper said she feels optimistic as she and the rest of the intervention team begin going school-by-school to gather those specific answers the parents want.
“I sense that when people don’t know, I think there is the tendency to lean towards, ‘Oh you’re not going to actually do what you’re saying you’re going to do,’ or ‘Because you don’t have a fully developed plan, we’re not sure about this intervention,” Cooper said. “These community meetings will help opening up those lines of communications, but the true tell-all will come when we start going to those individual schools. It’s one thing to hear this broad overview, but it’s not until I get to your school and talk about your students, your teacher, your principal that it really starts to hone in on what we’re trying to accomplish. I feel optimistic. I’m passionate about the work we do and the team we put together. I know we’re absolutely committed to making things better. We have to know that when we pull out of (MPS) they can keep going as one district.”
Two more meetings will be held April 25 at Lanier High School and April 27 at Park Crossing High School. Both will be held at 6:30 p.m.

Question: Cracks may offer clues to California dam's troubles

Six months before rushing water ripped a huge hole in a channel that drains a Northern California reservoir, state inspectors said the concrete spillway was sound. As officials puzzle through how to repair Oroville Dam spillway, federal regulators have ordered the state to figure out what went wrong.
Earlier inspection reports offer potential clues, including cracks on the spillway surface that if not properly repaired could let water tear through the concrete. In recent years, construction crews patched cracks — including in the area where water burrowed a huge pit last week.
Damage to the main spillway triggered a series of problems culminating with the first use of the emergency spillway, which quickly began eroding and threatened to unleash a torrent of water on cities downstream. On Tuesday, officials said the immediate danger had passed, and allowed nearly 200,000 residents to go home after evacuation orders scattered them for nearly two days.
Inspectors with the state agency that both operates and checks the dam, the nation's tallest at 770 feet, walked the half-mile-long spillway in 2014 and 2015 and did not find any concerns.
"Conditions appeared to be normal," the inspector wrote in reports from both years.
Last August, a team of inspectors did not check the channel on foot but instead from afar, also concluding that everything looked fine.
The inspection came as California was enduring a five-year drought, and the channel rarely was used to relieve pressure on Oroville Lake, which is about 70 miles north of Sacramento. An extraordinarily wet subsequent six months changed that. Dam managers were draining water from the fast-filling reservoir into the Feather River below when the pit appeared last week.
Experts said problems like the cracks in the concrete spillway and spots in nearby areas where water seeped from the reservoir through a hillside were common issues with dams. What mattered, said John Moyle, New Jersey's director of dam safety and flood control, was whether dam operators dealt with the problems carefully — patching cracks so they were watertight, and dealing with spots where water was leaking through so they didn't grow to undermine the concrete.
The Department of Water Resources declined to answer specific questions about the repair work, saying engineers were focused on ensuring public safety.
Robert Bea, professor emeritus of civil and environmental engineering at University of California, Berkeley, said it's "obvious those repairs didn't work."
"We don't have details on the repairs, but they put cement into the cracks and troweled it over," Bea said. "I call it 'patch and pray.'"
On Monday, federal regulators told the department it must enlist a group of independent consultants both to assess what went wrong and to recommend long-term fixes.
Documents and interviews show that crews were patching cracks in 2009 and 2013. A water resources department spokesman said it was normal for maintenance crews to be troubleshooting cracks in the channel during dry summer months.
One resident of the region said he saw crews in the spillway at least once a year for the past several years.
"When they have four or five trucks down there, the only thing they have to do is fill cracks," said Don Reighley, a retiree and fisherman who several times a week drives past the channel to launch his boat into the reservoir.
One of the state inspectors who went to Oroville Dam in August said authorities may never know exactly what destabilized the spillway.
"Any type of evidence that might have been there is gone," Eric Holland of the water resources department's dam safety division said. "Everything has been washed away."

Question: Hereditary Angioedema Market Value to Become Worth US$ 3.81 Billion by 2025

The global hereditary angioderma market is expected to witness the emergence of new market players over the coming years. The competitive landscape of the global market is currently oligopolistic in nature due to the presence of a few established players. However, as several entities engage in core research and development of therapies for angioderma, the market is expected to change its course over the coming years. It is anticipated that the existing players will go all out with their marketing strategies in order to retain their dominance and avert the entry of new players.
Request for the Sample Report @ https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag=S&rep_id=17135
Since the market for hereditary angioderma is closely related to the medical and pharmaceutical industries, the market players are expected to collaborate with distributors, pharmacies, and other healthcare bodies. Mergers and acquisitions are foreseen as a key strategy of the existing market players while new entrants are projected to form strategic alliances amongst themselves to sustain in the market. As the market players introduce a motley of business strategies, the competition in the market is bound to increase over the forthcoming years. Some of the key players in the global market for hereditary angioderma are Shire plc, Pharming Group NV, CSL Limited, iBio Inc., Ionis Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and BioCryst Pharmaceuticals, Inc. The efforts of these market players to attain global reckon are reflected in their share of the total market share.
The global market for hereditary angioderma is expected to expand at a robust CAGR of 9.10% during the period between 2017 and 2025, estimates Transparency Market Research (TMR). Furthermore, the global market was valued at US$ 1.73 bn in 2016 and is expected to accumulate revenues worth US$3.81 bn by 2025.
Request for Discount @ https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/sample/sample.php?flag=D&rep_id=17135
Although angioderma is a rare medical condition, affecting 1 in 50000 people across the world, the repercussions of the disease are abysmal. Due to this reason, the medical industry has been making concerted efforts to ensure that angioderma is diagnosed and treated at the earliest. Angioderma is often disguised as abdominal pain or common allergies, which later leads to dire consequences. Owing to this reason, people have become increasingly aware of the disease and resort to immediate treatment in case of any doubts.
This has also fortified the growth scale of the global market for hereditary angioderma. Some of the triggers that increase the severity of angioderma are anxiety, minor surgeries, stress, and ACE inhibitors. The healthcare sector has been making ardent efforts to effectuate better treatments for hereditary angioderma. On the other hand, the specialized hereditary angioderma drugs are either too expensive or unavailable across distribution channels. This is expected to hamper the growth of the global market for hereditary angioderma.
Request for Report TOC @ https://www.transparencymarketresearch.com/report-toc/17135
The support extended by the government in the form of favorable medical reimbursement policies has put North America at the top of the table of market share. Furthermore, the expertise of the medical practitioners in the region helps in early diagnosis of angioderma, and this further enhances the growth prospects of the regional market.

Question: Councils unprepared for new law supporting disabled taxi users

Represent this text to find a news title for it

Disabled taxi passengers across Scotland won’t be able to take advantage of a new law because their councils haven’t made the right preparations, according to disability activist research.
Just eight of 32 councils in Scotland are expecting to meet the government-recommended October deadline to ensure equal treatment for disabled taxi passengers.
A change in the Equality Act enacted in April this year means that taxi drivers face a fine of up to £1,000 if they refuse to transport wheelchair users or attempt to charge them extra.
However, the law only applies to drivers registered on council lists of wheelchair accessible taxis, known as Section 167 lists. Perth and Kinross Council is the only council in Scotland to have completed a list, with a further seven expecting to meet the deadline before October.
Eighteen councils have no plans to create a list or do not know if they will do so, leaving disabled passengers in areas including Aberdeen and Stirling facing overpriced rides and difficulty booking trips.
Disability activist Doug Paulley conducted Freedom of Information research with all councils in England, Scotland and Wales. Of them, only 11 per cent of councils have created a list, with a further 30 per cent intending to do so this year. That means 59 per cent have no firm plans to hit the deadline, including 26 per cent who have no plans to create a list at all.
Paulley and charity Muscular Dystrophy UK, which campaigns for disability rights, are calling on the government to make councils take their responsibilities seriously, and for all councils to set a deadline for creating a list.
Nic Bungay, Director of Campaigns, Care and Information at Muscular Dystrophy UK, which lobbied for years for the law change, said:
“Taxis are not a luxury for disabled people – they often represent the only way to get from A to B when public transport isn’t accessible. Doug’s research comprehensively demonstrates how many councils are failing to ensure that disabled passengers are not penalised. We need them all to implement lists now as per the government’s recommendations, and for the Department for Transport to promote the lists as a matter of urgency.”
Doug Paulley carried out the research following a Select Committee report into the Equality Act 2010 on disability. He says:
“It is disappointing that the Government’s intent in bringing in this legislation is being undermined by the failure of many councils to undertake the required office work, meaning that taxi drivers can continue to discriminate against wheelchair users with impunity. While conducting this research, it became clear that many councils simply didn’t think to create them until prompted. I recommend disabled people and their allies raise the issue with their local council.”
Paulley’s research also found that:-
· Two fifths of councils have under 10 per cent of their vehicles registered as wheelchair accessible, with 15 having no wheelchair-accessible taxis registered at all;
· Only 30 per cent of councils require taxi drivers to take part in disability awareness training.
Research by Muscular Dystrophy UK in 2016 has indicated that a quarter of disabled people have been refused service by a taxi driver, purely because they are disabled.
The results of the 32 responding councils in Scotland:
· Councils that have already created a Section 167 list: Perth and Kinross (1);
· Councils that plan to produce a Section 167 lists this year, meeting government guidance: East Renfrewshire, Shetland Islands, South Ayrshire, City of Edinburgh, West Dunbartonshire, Dundee City, Glasgow City (7);
· Councils that plan to produce a Section 167 list but with no specified deadline: Dumfries and Galloway, East Ayrshire, Na h-Eileanan Siar, Inverclyde, West Lothian, North Lanarkshire (6);
· Councils that are undecided on whether to produce a list: Falkirk, Highland, Midlothian, Moray, North Ayrshire, Orkney Islands, South Lanarkshire, Aberdeen City, Renfrewshire, East Dunbartonshire (10);
· Councils that have no current plans to produce a list: Clackmannanshire, East Lothian, Fife, Scottish Borders, Stirling, Aberdeenshire, Argyll and Bute, Angus (8).

Do you know how new laws and regulations being brought in this year will impact on you?
The gender pay gap may be top of the news agenda this week with the row over the BBC, but that's not the only new law likely to hit the headlines in 2018.
All eyes may be on Brexit but that doesn’t mean will not see any new domestic legislation to changes to the rules.
From maternity leave for grandparents to changes to the MOT, don’t be caught out or miss out.
Our colleagues at the Manchester Evening News have done a round up of the new laws, regulations and changes which are expected to come into force soon.
(Image: PA Wire)
Gender Pay Gap data will be revealed
For the first time ever, employers with at least 250 employees have to publish information about the differences in pay between men and women in their workforce,
The first reports must be published by 4 April 2018.
This is part of the government’s pledge to eliminate the pay disparities between men and women in the UK.
New drone laws
Drones - unmanned aircraft - are becoming increasingly regulated amid health and safety fears.
In 2018, the UK government is introducing new laws which mean users will need to take a basic online safety test and register their drone in order to lawfully use it.
Police will also be able to search and seize drones if they have grounds for suspicion. The test has been described as ‘similar to a driving theory test.’
Banks will freeze illegal immigrants’ accounts
Part of Theresa May’s pledge to create a ‘hostile environment’ for illegal immigrants in Britain, banks will carry out immigration checks on 70m accounts from January 2018.
The checks will happen four times a year and banks will freeze the assets of illegal immigrants.
The Home Office expects the checks will identify 6,000 failed asylum seekers and visa overstayers.
However, the plans have attracted criticism as it is feared people who have legitimately settled in the UK will be affected.
Minimum Energy Performance Ratings
From 1st April 2018, there will be a requirement for any privately rented properties to have a minimum energy performance rating of E.
The government has announced it will be unlawful to rent out a property which breaches this minimum rating.
A civil penalty of up to £4,000 will be imposed for landlords who do - meaning properties which fall in the F or G category will no longer be acceptable.
MOT scrapped on classic cars
From May 2018, 293,000 cars in Britain will be exempt from having an MOT test.
Under new plans, cars that are over 40 years old won’t have to take the annual road safety test.
This means around 1.5 per cent of cars in Britain will not have an MOT certificate, but will be road legal.
The Department for Transport defended the decision from suggestions it was an unsafe move, by saying owners of older cars usually keep them in the good condition and don’t use them regularly enough for an MOT test to be necessary.
Laws that could be introduced...
There are several proposals that have been suggested for 2018, but not yet confirmed. Here is a key list:
Your Council Tax could increase
This week, the government relaxed rules on council tax increases - meaning families could see their bills rise by up to £100 a year.
Previously, local authorities could only put council tax up by two per cent thanks to a Government cap and if they wanted to increase it anymore, they had to have a referendum.
But as of March 2018, councils could well raise bills by up to 6 per cent without holding a vote - making it the biggest hike for 14 years.
However, this is a provisional announcement which will be subject to consultation and a final settlement announcement will be made early next year.
Grandparental Leave could be introduced
In 2015, the government announced plans to introduce a shared parental leave scheme which includes grandparents.
Part of the changing dynamic of childcare in the UK, the government estimates there are 2 million grandparents who have stopped work or taken time off to provide care for their grandchildren.
Grandparents will be able to share up to 50 weeks leave with their child in order to care for their grandchildren in the first year after birth.
While the policy is expected in 2018, it has not be officially confirmed by Theresa May’s government.
Data Protection
Despite Britain leaving the EU, it’s still expected that we will adopt the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation into British law in March 2018.
This will impose much tougher punishments for companies that fail to stick to new rules around the storage and handling of personal data.
Thousands of businesses in the UK not only collect personal data, but store and access it online - and it is then used for sales and marketing.
The new law will make this harder - and aims to protect people’s data being hacked by cyber criminals.

Question: May shaping up as USA's hottest on record, breaking mark set during 1934 Dust Bowl

Hugh Poole fishes at a pond in FDR Park in Philadelphia, Thursday, May 24, 2018.
David Maialetti, AP
The USA is sweltering through what will likely be its hottest May on record, according to a preliminary analysis of weather data.
National Weather Service meteorologist Victor Murphy said May 2018 should break the record set in May 1934 during the Dust Bowl.
The heat has been particularly noteworthy in the central U.S., including the upper Midwest and northern Plains, where temperatures have run some 5-8 degrees above average, according to weather.us meteorologist Ryan Maue.
On Monday, the temperature in Minneapolis soared to a record 100 degrees, the city's earliest 100-degree reading on record, buckling roads, straining air conditioners and triggering air quality alerts.
Other cities seeing record-breaking heat over the past few days include Chicago, Milwaukee, Green Bay and Des Moines, Radiant Solutions reported.
Overall, in just the past few days more than 1,900 heat records have been broken or tied, weather.com said.
According to PRISM, the avg. monthly temp for the CONUS for May is 64.6F, thru 5/28. #NCEI shows the all-time CONUS record being 64.71F in May 1934.

For folks in the Midwest, the crazy heat of May follows what had been an unusually cold April. In fact, for two states in the Upper Midwest — Iowa and Wisconsin — it was the coldest April since records began in 1895, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration said.
The Twin Cities saw their fourth-coldest April on record. Meteorologist Peter Mullinax of Planalytics said that Minneapolis' weather whiplash from April to May was the biggest on record, a rebound of almost 30 degrees.
Nationally, April 2018 was the USA's coldest April in 21 years.
Record-breaking snow also accompanied the cold in many areas, wreaking havoc with baseball schedules and seriously delaying the onset of spring.
During April, the average U.S. temperature was 48.9 degrees, which was 2.2 degrees below average, "making it the 13th-coldest April on record and the coldest since 1997," NOAA said.
Final weather data for May will be out in early June.
Entire Lower 48 USA has above average temperature for May 2018 except for rainy Florida and oddly enough California.

MOSCOW — The Latest at the World Cup (all times local):
3:03 p.m.
Russian police have briefly detained several activists protesting political repressions outside a World Cup arena.
Police moved quickly to round up four teenagers outside the stadium where Sweden knocked out Switzerland on Tuesday. The four were released a few hours later.
Lika Petrovskaya, a 16-year-old who wore a bloodied white dress at the protest, said their goal was "to attract attention to the political repressions," including the imprisonment of Ukrainian filmmaker Oleg Sentsov. Another five activists were also detained Tuesday while they were distributing leaflets calling for Sentsov's release.
Sentsov, a vocal opponent of Russia's annexation of Crimea, was sentenced in 2015 to 20 years for conspiracy to commit terror acts. He denied the charges and has been on a hunger strike since mid-May.

After impressing at the World Cup, Iceland goalkeeper Hannes Halldorsson has been sold by Danish team FC Randers to Azerbaijan champion Qarabag.
Iceland exited the tournament at the group stage but Randers' sporting director Soeren Pedersen says the performance of the 34-year Icelander "hasn't gone unnoticed." Halldorsson's tournament was highlighted by saving a penalty kick from Lionel Messi in a 1-1 draw with Argentina.

Question: Suspect in custody following slew of hit-and-runs

Truck stolen from Armstrong allegedly used in multiple incidents between Lake Country and Kelowna
Kelowna Regional RCMP continue their investigation into an early morning string of related hit-and-run collisions which involved a stolen white Ford F-150 pickup truck travelling between Lake Country and Kelowna and ultimately led to the dynamic arrest of a suspect by an off duty RCMP officer in Rutland.
Just before 6:30 a.m. Monday, RCMP began to receive numerous calls from the public of an erratic and dangerous driver who had been involved in, and fled from the scene of, a rollover collision along Highway 97 near Beaver Lake Road in Lake Country.
“Calls from the public continued to pour in,” said RCMP spokesperson Cpl. Jesse O’Donaghey. “Residents reported that the same suspect Ford F-150 had been spotted at various locations throughout Rutland.”
An off-duty RCMP officer became involved when he witnessed the driver of the suspect vehicle commit an offence.
The driver eventually stopped n the 400 block of Gerstmar Road and fled from the vehicle. The off-duty officer identified himself as a police officer and a struggle ensued during which the officer was allegedly assaulted.
Police have since confirmed that the Ford F-150 had been reportedly stolen from Armstrong.
“The criminal investigation remains in its early stages, as police prepare to conduct at least a dozen interviews with both witnesses and victims,” said O’Donaghey. “Our officers have yet to positively identify the young adult male they currently have in police custody.”
Once identified the suspect could face several potential charges.
If you witnessed any of the multiple crashes or observed the driving behaviour of the Ford F-150 pickup truck involved, and have not yet spoken to police, you are urged to contact the Kelowna RCMP at 250-762-3300.

LOS GATOS — The California Highway Patrol on Monday arrested a 39-year-old Los Gatos woman in connection with a hit-and-run collision that seriously injured a motorcyclist.

The CHP said the collision left the male motorcyclist with “major injuries” to an arm.
Starr stopped but then drove away toward her home, according to the CHP. On the way there, she allegedly was involved in two non-injury hit-and-run crashes in Los Gatos.
Officers arrested Starr at her residence. She was booked into the Santa Clara County Main Jail in San Jose on felony charges of driving under the influence and hit-and-run causing injuries.
Charges related to the hit-and-run collisions in Los Gatos are pending, according to the CHP.

Question: NASA providing 1st live 360-degree view of rocket launch

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. - Want the world's best, up-close view of a rocket launch without being right there at the pad?
For the first time, cameras will provide live 360-degree video of a rocket heading toward space.
NASA will provide the 360 stream Tuesday as an unmanned Atlas rocket blasts off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, with a capsule full of space station supplies. The stream will begin 10 minutes before the scheduled 11:11 a.m. liftoff and continue until the rocket is out of sight.
The four fisheye-lens cameras are located at the periphery of the pad, about 300 feet (100 meters) from the rocket. A computer in a blast-proof box will stitch together the images for a full, in-the-round view. There will be about a minute lag time.
It will be shown on NASA's YouTube channel .
"It's great, I mean, to be able to get in there and experience that 360-degree view," said Vern Thorp, a program manager for rocket maker United Launch Alliance. Combining that with virtual reality goggles, "it really gives you a new perspective that we've never been able to do before," he said at a Monday news conference.
United Launch Alliance has released 360-degree video of two previous launches, but later — not live.

Orbital ATK, one of NASA's main delivery services for the International Space Station, opted to use an Atlas V for this supply run from Cape Canaveral versus its own smaller, Virginia-based Antares rocket in order to haul up more items. The supply ship is known as the Cygnus after the swan constellation, and in this case has been named the S.S. John Glenn.
Glenn became the first American to orbit the world in 1962 — launching on an Atlas rocket — and the oldest person to fly in space in 1998 aboard the shuttle Discovery. He died at age 95 in December. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery earlier this month.
"It's an honor to launch the spacecraft which has been named in memory of John Glenn," Thorp told reporters. Given that Glenn flew on an Atlas rocket and Tuesday's rocket is an Atlas, "I feel like we're bridging history."

Look back on last week’s blastoff of a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral with NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite.
The TESS mission will search for planets orbiting the stars in our solar neighborhood, finding worlds that are prime candidates for follow-up observations by more powerful telescopes, including the James Webb Space Telescope set for launch in 2020.
TESS lifted off Wednesday, April 18, from Cape Canaveral’s Complex 40 launch pad aboard a Falcon 9 rocket at 6:51:30 p.m. EDT (2251:30 GMT), two days later than planned to allow SpaceX time to complete additional guidance, navigation and control analysis on the launcher.
These images taken by NASA, SpaceX and Spaceflight Now photographers show the 229-foot-tall (70-meter) Falcon 9 rocket blasting off from Cape Canaveral, climbing to the east over the Atlantic Ocean, and dropping its first stage booster for a return trip to Earth for a landing on SpaceX’s downrange drone ship.

Question: Wholesale inflation at 1.88 per cent: Retail inflation up to 2.36 per cent in July on higher food prices

The survey noted that India was possibly entering a phase of low inflation for the first time since 2005, aided by structural caps to price pressure in food and fuel. The survey noted that India was possibly entering a phase of low inflation for the first time since 2005, aided by structural caps to price pressure in food and fuel.
Both retail and wholesale price inflation rose in July, mainly due to a sharp jump in tomato prices that impacted food inflation. Consumer price inflation rebounded from a record low of 1.46 per cent in June to touch 2.36 per cent in July, as a deflation in food prices narrowed sharply.
An upward revision of house rent allowance (HRA) for Central government staff and higher GST on services in the first month of its launch may have weighed on retail inflation a bit, said analysts, although the impact hasn’t been very significant yet.
WPI inflation rose to 1.88 per cent in July from just 0.9 per cent in the previous month. Analysts say tomato prices alone drove up the headline WPI by as much as 78 basis points (bps) and CPI by 50-60 bps.
Despite the rise in July, headline retail inflation remained within the lower end of the central bank’s forecast range of 2-3.5 per cent for the first half of the current fiscal, leaving some scope for further monetary easing.
The Economic Survey for 2016-17 (Volume-II), released last week, has reckoned the scope for further monetary easing by 25-75 basis points, or more.
The survey noted that India was possibly entering a phase of low inflation for the first time since 2005, aided by structural caps to price pressure in food and fuel.
It added that both expected inflation and GDP are subdued relative to their equilibrium levels and the economy is lacking the dynamism to push inflation back toward the 4 per cent target. Industrial production growth, too, hit a 48-month low of -0.1 per cent in June.
However, given the impact of the higher HRA and uneven geographical spread of rainfall, especially in southern regions, could prompt the monetary policy committee (MPC) to adopt caution before trimming the repo rate further.
Earlier this month, the MPC cut the repo rate by 25 basis points, the first rate cut since October last year, to 6 per cent. But it retained its “neutral” stance and warned inflation could pick up again.
“As the favourable base effect unwinds, vegetable prices record a seasonal hardening and the impact of HRA pushes up housing inflation further, we expect the CPI inflation to ramp up over the next few months, and cross 4 per cent by October. Based on this anticipated trajectory, and the recent commentary by the MPC, we see a low likelihood of further rate cuts in FY2018,” said Aditi Nayar, principal economist with Icra.
“Policy rates have likely plateaued for now, with room for rate cuts requiring a sharp downward drift in core inflation or growth slump in the second half of this fiscal,” said Radhika Rao, group economist at DBS Bank.
Last week, supporting the case for a sharp rate cut, the survey said the RBI had overestimated inflation by more than 100 basis points in six of the past 14 quarters (three in 2014 and three in the most recent period) with an average error of 180 basis points.
India Inc echoed sentiments that there is room for further rate cut by the RBI to boost investments from private sector and revive industrial growth.
“Given the trend and outlook for inflation, we see clear space for a more accommodative stance in the monetary policy. This is all the more important given the state of industrial sector where growth is anaemic.
“Private sector investments continue to remain weak which is key concern for now. We look forward to a further cut in the policy rate by the RBI at the earliest. This along with forthcoming festive season demand and expected improvement in rural incomes should help propel consumption and thus investment sentiment,” Ficci [resident Pankaj Patel said.
“Continuous increase in the prices of petrol and high speed diesel due to rise in prices of crude oil globally have to be taken care of by policy makers since it may have impact on import bills and subsequent impact on exchange rates,” Assocham Secretary General DS Rawat said.

The report further noted that 2017-18 average CPI inflation is expected at 4.8 per cent with a downward bias, compared to the 2016-17 average of 4.5 per cent. (File Photo) The report further noted that 2017-18 average CPI inflation is expected at 4.8 per cent with a downward bias, compared to the 2016-17 average of 4.5 per cent. (File Photo)
Retail inflation is expected at 4.8 per cent for the current fiscal and fears in this regard are exaggerated as the country will continue to witness benign prices, says a report. According to SBI’s research report Ecowrap, the Reserve Bank’s inflation forecast of 4-4.5 per cent will be “materially undershot” as CPI inflation is unlikely to breach the 4 per cent mark till July this year. According to official data, inflation at the wholesale level eased to 5.7 per cent in March on declining fuel prices and appreciating rupee.
“The decline was accentuated by decline in fuel and power inflation and manufactured products. It may be noted that fuel prices were significantly cut on March 31, while the rupee has been on an appreciating trend since February 2017. These two factors have pushed down fuel and manufactured product prices,” it said. International oil prices dipped in a month’s time to $49 per barrel from $55, reflecting in a Rs 3.77 per litre cut in petrol price and Rs 2.91 in diesel. International rates have since climbed to $54 per barrel.
The rupee which was at 66.7 to a dollar at February-end is currently hovering around 64-level. The report further noted that 2017-18 average CPI inflation is expected at 4.8 per cent with a downward bias, compared to the 2016-17 average of 4.5 per cent. “Overall, inflation fears are exaggerated and we will continue to witness benign inflation numbers in the next couple of months,” it added.
Moreover, the difference between CPI and WPI, which was merely 25 bps in November 2016, has increased to 189 bps in March this year. Since December 2016, WPI inflation is more than CPI inflation, the report said, adding this trend is expected to continue till the fourth quarter of this fiscal.

Can you represent it to find an explanatory news article?', 'Ont. towns struggle to pay for infrastructure'] == ['Represent the article to find a fitting news title', 'As communities age and money for big projects dries up, top municipal officials are saying “something has to give.”\nA report on the perspective of chief administrative officers (CAOs) — by Strategy Corp. — found that just as Toronto is struggling to find ways to pay for much-needed infrastructure work, smaller communities, too, are finding it increasingly difficult to come with badly-needed cash.\n“You thought Toronto was just having these problems,” said John Matheson, report co-author and a principal at Strategy Corp. “Actually, the report indicates it’s the municipal sector as a whole ... These problems are fairly common across Ontario which is why it’s important people pay attention to them.”\nThe group interviewed 26 CAOs — the top bureaucrats of towns, counties or cities — to get their views on the future of municipal government. The report focuses on small- to medium-size communities, and was provided exclusively to the Toronto Sun.\nThe report says CAOs are seeing a gap between what the public expects of local government and what they are prepared to pay for has grown. One participant told the authors “something has to give.”\nThe report says councillors in those communities are hesitant to raise taxes or create new revenue streams to pay for the work which isn’t surprising, he added.\n“There’s a lot of infrastructure put in the ground between 50 and 75 years ago,” Matheson said, adding that years of deferring infrastructure work are catching up with communities.\nThe CAOs also expressed concern about the rise of a divisive brand of populism in city halls across Ontario. A number of councillors are mimicking U.S. President Donald Trump’s brash style, often publicly attacking bureaucrats and questioning their work.\n“(Municipal governments) are not designed to have a somebody on council who is structurally opposing everything,” he said. “It’s contributing to only half of them saying they had good relations with their councils.”\nThe interviews used for the report were conducted confidentially. The findings offer a rare, unvarnished view of major issues taking place in these towns and cities, said Ron Shaw, a senior advisor with Strategy Corp who co-authored the report.\nShaw, a former CAO with over 30 years experience in Stratford and Kincardine, said top municipal bureaucrats don’t want to be critical of their communities publicly.\n“They’re not going to say much different than what their councillors may be saying,” he added. “They want to make sure they represent the views of the municipality. Speaking confidentially, they can speak to us ... and give honest, open feedback.”\nReleasing the report at the Association of Municipalities of Ontario’s annual meeting in Ottawa this week will help bring the concerns of the CAOs into focus, he said.\nMatheson added that the concerns raised in the report will need to be addressed through a variety of means, including the provision of more cash to municipalities.\nsjeffords@postmedia.com'] != ['This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title', 'The city needs to find millions of dollars to separate rail from roads in the southern suburb now that the Barrhaven Rail Safety Program has council’s endorsement.\nThe first step is to free up money in the 2018 municipal budget, possibly in the $3-million range, to order environmental assessments for the crossings at Woodroffe Avenue, the southwest Transitway, and Fallowfield, Merivale and Jockvale roads.\nThe next step is to convince the upper-tier governments and Via Rail to help cover the construction tabs.\nBuilding overpasses or underpasses at five rail crossings could cost $430 million, but that estimate is highly preliminary and doesn’t take into account the complete scope of work that might be required.\nCouncil’s vote Wednesday means the city has a general blueprint to do the work, including a priority list for the crossings.\nWoodroffe Avenue and the southwest Transitway — the site of the fatal collision between an OC Transpo bus and a Via Rail train in 2013 — are at the top of the list. The city would build a road and Transitway overpass there.\nJockavale Road is last on the priority list, but the city wants to advance a study in the shorter term to build a $6-million pedestrian and cycling underpass at the intersection.\nVia wants to increase the number of trains passing through Barrhaven as part of its regular service plans, but it also has dreams of running additional trains through the corridor through a high-frequency train proposal to the federal government.\nCouncil puts more money into asset repairs, trying to close a major funding gap\nSome councillors batted around the idea of a separate tax to pay for asset repairs, but there was no way an infrastructure levy was going to fly in the current political climate.\nKitchissipi Coun. Jeff Leiper brought up a staff position from 2012 that suggested an infrastructure levy might be required if there isn’t more upper-government funding for asset maintenance.\nCity treasurer Marian Simulik said she doesn’t support an infrastructure levy, largely based on history.\nA levy was attempted during Larry O’Brien’s mayoral term but it fizzled out.\nThe levy “created too much pressure on your taxpayers,” Simulik told council Wednesday.\nThe city is short $70 million to keep the assets in good condition. It will try making up the difference over the next 10 years.\nCouncil voted in favour of spending $10.5 million more in the 2018 budget on asset maintenance and $7.8 million annually starting in the 2019 budget for nine years. There will also be inflationary increases to the spending.\nCollege Coun. Rick Chiarelli, who’s skeptical about the city’s approach to funding repairs, voted against the strategy.\nWatson highlights ‘extraordinary’ efforts by city on drug overdose prevention, calls for sustained effort\nMayor Jim Watson promoted the “extraordinary” efforts by the city to prevent opioid drug overdoses, announcing a larger effort this summer during the festival season.\nWatson said the health unit will be working with festival organizers again to distribute “party safe information.” The city ramps up its public awareness campaign about substance abuse around this time of year before the festival season begins.\nOttawa Public Health learned this week that it will receive $350,000 more in base funding from the provincial government for opioid response programs.\n“We’re ready to turn this funding into support on the ground,” Watson said.\nAll Ottawa firetrucks now carry naloxone kits and the city is preparing to train police on administering the drug antidote.\nWatson said more help from the federal and provincial governments is “badly needed.”\nThe city will continue to work with community agencies on public education.\n“Ongoing and sustained efforts will be required,” Watson said.\nLate-night patios get consideration for Canada Day weekend\nRestaurant patios on city sidewalks have a shot at staying open until 4 a.m. during the Canada Day weekend.\nAccording to the bylaw, patios on city-owned property and within 30 metres of a residential zone must close by 11 p.m. No one can be on the patio after that time.\nThe Fox and Feather on Elgin Street asked to extend its patio hours until 2 a.m., instead of the mandated 11 a.m. cutoff, between June 30 and July 2.\nCouncil on Wednesday agreed to the pub’s request and it also gave the planning department the authority to assess any other requests from businesses with patios on city-owned property.

Question: Charlottesville Violence Highlights Cities' Struggle To Balance Rights And Safety

This news article should be represented to find a fitting news title!

"How do you reconcile public safety and the First Amendment?" That's the question Charlottesville, Va., Mayor Mike Signer asked in an interview on Sunday.
And it's a question city and state governments are likely grappling with after the weekend's violence in Charlottesville.
Around the country, white nationalists and other groups have protested efforts to remove statues and other symbols of the Confederacy. As counter-demonstrators arrive to protest the white nationalists, the resulting scenes are often tense and brimming with the potential for violence.
State and local officials prepared for Saturday's protests in Charlottesville, which were known about for months. But in the wake of fierce brawling in the streets of the usually quiet college town, and then a driver plowing his car into a crowd of pedestrians, killing one and injuring 19, many are asking what Charlottesville authorities could have done differently—and what could be done to prevent such violence in the future.
City Permitting and Free Speech
Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe told NPR's Morning Edition that local authorities had done what they could to head off the fighting that erupted, but that they were foiled by a federal judge's decision to allow the Unite The Right rally to go on in Charlottesville's Emancipation Park.
Charlottesville tried to revoke the permit it had issued for the rally to be held in Emancipation Park, in order to move the protestors about a mile away to McIntire Park, which offered more open space.
"That was the place it should have been. We were unfortunately sued by the ACLU and the judge ruled against us," McAuliffe said. "That rally should not have been in the middle of downtown ... where [people] dispersed all over the city streets, and it became a powder keg. We've got to look at these permits, and we've got to look at where we put these rallies and protesters."
The ACLU responded that the injunction was the city's fault because it mounted a weak legal case.
"The Governor's anger about what happened is understandable," ACLU Virginia Executive Director Claire Guthrie Hastings said in a statement to NPR. "We are angry, too. The situation that occurred was preventable, and our lawsuit challenging the City to act constitutionally did not cause it. ... All we did was ask the City to live up to the requirements of the Constitution. That it failed to do so is on the City, not us."
Charlottesville Police Tactics Scrutinized
Also under scrutiny was the action – or inaction – of the Charlottesville police.
McAuliffe told Morning Edition that the police did "a magnificent job," and said the potential for violence had been high.
"They had to be very careful," the governor said. "We had been planning for this for a while. We had to show tremendous restraint because ... these people all came armed. I've never seen so many weapons. These people were wearing better gear than my own state police were wearing. They had body armor, helmets. I mean people were walking around with semi-automatic rifles through the streets."
"[If] one person fired one shot, it would have been a melee, and I would be talking to you today with a lot of body bags. None of that happened."
"Think of this," McAuliffe said. "Not one window was shattered, not one ounce of property damage, not one shot fired, and not one person went to the hospital, except for the 19 who were hit by a car terrorist. Which, you can't, you know – there's no preparation's that's gonna prepare for some nut, some murderer, who's going to turn his car into a weapon and run through a crowd."
But both protesters and counter-protesters criticized the police response.
"There was no police presence," Brittany Caine-Conley, a minister in training who locked arms with other clergy members in counter-protest, told The New York Times. "We were watching people punch each other; people were bleeding all the while police were inside of barricades at the park, watching. It was essentially just brawling on the street and community members trying to protect each other."
Princeton professor and activist Cornel West, who was also at the protest, told The Washington Post "the police didn't do anything in terms of protecting the people of the community, the clergy."
The Unite The Right rally's organizer, Jason Kessler, was also critical. "Charlottesville refused to honor permit as ordered by a federal judge. CPD didn't even show up until 1.5 hrs into the permit," he tweeted. "Inside the park was peaceful. Outbreaks of violence occurred where police refused to separate or even pushed the feuding groups together."
White nationalist Richard Spencer, another organizer, said the police had failed to protect the people who had gathered for the rally. "We came here as a demonstration of our movement," Spencer told the Post. "And we were effectively thrown to the wolves."
The ACLU's Hastings also criticized the policing on Saturday, which she said "was not designed to be ... effective in preventing violence."
"I was there and brought concerns directly to the Secretary of Public Safety and the head of the State Police," said Hastings. "They did not respond. In fact, law enforcement was standing passively by, waiting for violence to take place, so that they would have grounds to declare an emergency, declare an 'unlawful assembly' and clear the area."
Charles Ramsey, who formerly headed the police in Philadelphia and Washington, D.C., told the Post that demonstrators and counter-demonstrators "need to be in sight and sound of each other, but somebody has to be in between .... That's usually the police."
"The whole point is to have overwhelming force so that people don't get the idea they can do these kinds of things and get away with it," he said.
An NPR request for comment from the Charlottesville Police Department was not returned.
Lt. Joseph Hatter, a commander with the Charlottesville police, told the Post that officers tried to create separate areas. "It didn't work, did it?" he admitted. "I think there was a plan to have them separated. They didn't want to be separated."
He told the newspaper that he doesn't know that police waited to react to the violence. "I think we did the best we could under the circumstances."
Public Assembly and Public Space
Questions about how governments manage protests are likely to continue, and to be argued in court.
On Friday, a federal judge granted a temporary injunction, ruling that the city could not revoke the permit it had issued to Kessler to hold the demonstration in Emancipation Park.
In his opinion, Judge Glen Conrad said Kessler was likely to prevail on his claim that Charlottesville's decision to revoke his permit was content-based.
"Kessler's assertion in this regard is supported by the fact that the City solely revoked his permit, but left in place the permits issued to counter-protestors," Conrad wrote. "The disparity in treatment between the two groups with opposing views suggests that the defendants' decision to revoke Kessler's permit was based on the content of his speech rather than other neutral factors that would be equally applicable to Kessler and those protesting against him. This conclusion is bolstered by other evidence, including communications on social media indicating that members of City Council oppose Kessler's political viewpoint."
The judge wrote further that though the city maintained its decision to revoke Kessler's permit was due to the number of people likely to attend his demonstration, "their concerns in this regard are purely speculative." He added, "there is no evidence to support the notion that many thousands of individuals are likely to attend the demonstration."
Following the events in Charlottesville, those worried about potential violence have fresh evidence.
Public protests can become especially complicated when people are carrying guns and dressed in full camouflage, as some did this weekend in Charlottesville.
McAuliffe argues officials need help from the courts if governments are to maintain public safety while allowing people to exercise their First Amendment rights.
"We've got to get a better understanding with these judges to understand our job is to keep our community safe," he said. "The judiciary needs to do a better job of working with us."
And the ACLU's Hastings says that whatever strategies authorities use, they need to be lawful and in keeping with the Constitution: "It is my firm hope and desire that the Governor and other local officials will learn from this past weekend how constitutionally to prevent events like the horror we saw in Charlottesville."

Question: Death toll rises to 12 in London apartment building inferno

A person, bottom right, peers out of a window from a building on fire in London, Wednesday. Metropolitan Police in London say they’re continuing to evacuate people from a massive apartment fire in west London. The fire has been burning for more than three hours and stretches from the second to the 27th floor of the building. Matt Dunham — The Associated Press
LONDON >> They banged on windows, screamed for help, dropped children from smoky floors in a desperate attempt to save them. Terrified residents of the Grenfell Tower said there was little warning of the inferno that engulfed their high-rise apartment building and left 12 people dead — a toll that officials said would almost certainly rise.
The blaze early Wednesday in the 24-story building in west London’s North Kensington district also injured 74 others, 18 of them critically, and left an unknown number missing. A tenants’ group had complained for years about the risk of a fire.
More than 200 firefighters worked through the night and were still finding pockets of fire inside later in the day. A huge plume of smoke wafted across the London skyline and left a burned-out hulk in the working class, multi-ethnic neighborhood.
“In my 29 years of being a firefighter, I have never, ever seen anything of this scale,” Fire Commissioner Dany Cotton said.
Up to 600 people lived in 120 apartments in the Grenfell Tower. After announcing the updated death toll of 12 in the afternoon, Cmdr. Stuart Cundy said that “we believe this number will sadly increase.”
Crews rescued 65 people, said Steve Apter, the fire brigade’s director of safety and assurance.
Prime Minister Theresa May’s office said she was “deeply saddened by the tragic loss of life” in the fire. Mayor Sadiq Khan said many questions must be answered about safety for the scores of other apartment blocks around the British capital.
The London Fire Brigade said it received the first reports of the blaze at 12:54 a.m. and the first engines arrived within six minutes.
Survivors told of frantic attempts to escape during the nighttime fire. Some initially feared it was terrorism-related, although authorities have not suggested that terrorism was involved.
“The flames, I have never seen anything like it. It just reminded me of 9/11,” said Muna Ali, 45. “The fire started on the upper floors. ... Oh my goodness, it spread so quickly. It had completely spread within half an hour.”
Samira Lamrani said she saw a woman drop a baby from a window on the ninth or 10th floor to people on the sidewalk.
“People were starting to appear at the windows, frantically banging and screaming,” Lamrani told Britain’s Press Association news agency.
When the woman indicated she was going to drop the infant, “a gentleman ran forward and managed to grab the baby,” she added.

Joe Walsh, 58, said he saw someone toss two children out a window on the fifth or sixth floor. Tiago Etienne, 17, said he saw about three children between the ages of 4 and 8 being dropped from around the 15th floor. There was no word on their fate.
Other residents told harrowing tales of their own escapes and frustration at not being able to help neighbors.
Ruks Mamudu, 69, said she ran to safety down one flight of stairs to the ground floor from her apartment wearing only her purple pajamas and bathrobe. She and her grandson sat outside the building, helplessly watching those trapped on higher floors.
“I sat there watching my house burn down and watching people cry for help who couldn’t come down,” Mamudu said.
Nassima Boutrig, who lives across from the building, said she was awakened by sirens and smoke so thick that it filled her home as well.
“We saw the people screaming,” she said. “A lot of people said, ‘Help! Help! Help!’ The fire brigade could only help downstairs. ... They couldn’t stop the fire.”
Resident Hamid Wahbi said that as he fled, he asked about a neighbor’s father but was told he was still inside.
“We tried to go back, but it was all black, so I had to come out of the building,” Wahbi added.
There was no immediate word on the cause of the blaze, but the Grenfell Action Group has been warning about the risk of fire at Grenfell Tower since 2013.
Edward Daffarn, who lived on the 16th floor, said the building’s fire alarm didn’t ring. He said residents had complained for years to Kensington and Chelsea Council about the building’s safety, to no avail.
“I’m lucky to be alive. A neighbor’s smoke alarm went off and another neighbor phoned and told me to get out,” Daffarn said. “I consider this mass murder.”
The Action Group expressed concern about the testing and maintenance of firefighting equipment and blocked emergency access to the site. In a Nov. 20 blog, the group predicted that only “a catastrophic event” leading to “serious loss of life” would bring the outside scrutiny needed to make conditions safe for residents.
“All our warnings fell on deaf ears and we predicted that a catastrophe like this was inevitable,” the group said after the fire broke out.
The Kensington and Chelsea Council, which oversees the area where the fire occurred, said in a statement its immediate focus was helping victims and their families. It said the cause of the blaze would be “fully investigated.”
Built in the 1970s, the housing block was recently upgraded at a cost of 10 million pounds ($12.8 million), with work finishing in May 2016, according to the local council. Rydon, the British company that did the refurbishing, said in a statement that its work “met all required building control, fire regulation and health and safety standards.”
Britain’s government ordered checks at tower blocks going through similar refurbishment amid concerns that renovations at the Grenfell Tower contributed to the spread of the blaze. It was not immediately known if the building had a sprinkler system.
Authorities will “seek to identify towers that might have a similar process of refurbishment, run a system of checks so that we can, as quickly as possible, give reassurance to people,” said Policing and Fire Minister Nick Hurd.
The Grenfell tenants’ organization’s newsletter instructs residents to stay put in a fire unless the blaze is in their own apartment or in their hallway — the same guidance used in multistory hotels and other high-rise buildings. The organization’s July 2014 newsletter said Grenfell “was designed according to rigorous fire safety standards.”
Neighbors began helping survivors with clothing, food and water as well as offering shelter.
Churches and a nearby mosque served as gathering points for donations for those who raced out of the burning building with little else than what they were wearing. Social media sites joined the effort, with some Londoners offering a space on their sofas for those affected by the blaze.
Associated Press writers Cara Rubinsky, Sylvia Hui and Ben Jary contributed.
