AUSTRALIA: DEBRIS 'LIKELY' FROM MH370

Australian officials say it is likely that debris found on Reunion island in the Indian Ocean is from missing flight MH370.


The wing part found is thought to be from a Boeing 777.


The Malaysian Airlines Boeing 777 flight MH370 disappeared in March 2014 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with 239 people on board.


Parts of the wing found on Reunion are being taken to France for identification.


If it does turn out to be from MH370, it could provide crucial clues as to how and where the plane came down.


Australia is still leading the hunt for the aircraft, off its west coast.


Dr Simon Boxall, an oceanographer from the University of Southampton, says a find on Reunion would be consistent with current thinking about where MH370 crashed.

UK CONSIDERS WHERE TO PUT 6000 PARKED LORRIES

The UK is considering making Ministry of Defence land available to ease traffic problems in southern England caused by the migrant crisis in northern France.

There are 6000 lorries parked on the UK's M20 motorway, with the backlog growing as migrants continue to attempt to breach the Channel Tunnel between France and England.

The government is now looking at whether some of those lorries could be moved to other sites, until the crisis eases.

UK Prime Minister David Cameron is chairing fresh emergency meetings, after hundreds of migrants again tried to enter the Channel Tunnel in northern France on Thursday night.

Retired border control officer Chris Hobbs says the government has been slow to react.

Chimpanzees Aren't 'Legal Persons,' New York Judge Rules

A New York Judge has ruled that two local chimpanzees are not legal
persons, and that their captivity at a state research university is
not considered "illegal imprisonment." In a ruling filed Thursday in
Manhattan, Justice Barbara Jaffee turned down a request from an
activist group who requested a writ of habeas corpus, often used to
free people from unlawful detention, for the chimps.

Anti-semitism is on the increase in the UK, according to a new report by charity, The Community Security Trust.


There has been a 50% increase in incidents from January to June compared with the same period last year, though the charity believes one of the main explanations for the rise was a greater willingness to report hate-crimes.
