Camden now removing cladding from its buildings in the Chalcots Estate

A London council will urgently remove cladding from five blocks of flats after laboratory tests revealed they contain the same flammable material as that used on Grenfell Tower.

Aluminium panels with a polyethelene core were added to buildings in the Chalcots Estate, Camden Council said, that "were not to the standard" it wanted.

The council said it would take "urgent legal advice" after the panels it ordered for the blocks were not fitted as commissioned, and "will immediately begin preparing to remove these external cladding panels from the five tower blocks".

Council leader Georgia Gould said fire safety at all its high-rise blocks was reviewed after the deadly Grenfell Tower blaze and that following the lab tests, safety patrols would be made 24 hours a day on the estate.

The main contractor on the renovation of five blocks in the estate was Rydon, the same company that worked on Grenfell Tower, according to the council's and its own website.

Grenfell Tower victims killed 'within seconds by cyanide gas,' says professor of environmental toxicology

Victims of the Grenfell Tower fire may been killed by highly toxic gases emitted by the building's external cladding as it burned, experts suggest.

According to Professor of Environmental Toxicology at Leeds University Alastair Hay, burning fabrics release two deadly gasses, namely cyanide and carbon monoxide.

Those who found themselves trapped inside the North Kensington tower block last week as the inferno spread would have had "no chance whatsoever" of surviving because of the "very high concentration" of such gasses, the professor claims.

Islamophobic hate crimes up 500% in Greater Manchester after Arena bombing

Hate crimes against Muslims have risen 500 percent in Greater Manchester since the bombing that killed 22 people in the city in May.

According to the Manchester Evening News, the Greater Manchester Police say a total of 224 cases of Islamophobic hate crimes were reported in the month following the attack.

By comparison, the same period last year saw a much lower number (37) of hate crimes reported to police.

Some of the events were later classified as hate "incidents," which means although they did not break the law, they were serious enough to be documented.

Complaints ranged from physical violence to threats and vandalism targeting Muslims in the Greater Manchester area.

In one case, a mosque in Oldham was firebombed mere hours after the Manchester Arena attack.

The Greater Manchester Police, however, believe the rise in Islamophobic incidents is only a temporary trend.

Austrian FM: End Islamic kindergartens to boost integration, says 'we don't need them'

Shutting down Islamic kindergartens where children have little or no command of German would be an efficient way to ensure the integration of migrants, Austrian Foreign Minister Sebastian Kurz said. The comment was made at a public event set up by Kurier newspaper.

"Of course, we don't need them. There should be no Islamic kindergartens," Kurz said when asked whether he would agree to completely get rid of such facilities.

According to the foreign minister, proficiency in German must become a gateway to Austrian society. Immigrant children and others "who have little or no command of German" would have to attend kindergarten one year longer than their Austrian peers, he said.

"Quality criteria" for childcare workers should also be introduced to improve the standards of language proficiency. Consequently, many Arab or Chechen kindergartens will fail to meet the requirements for state benefits and will be left with no choice but to close," Kurz said, adding, "This is the easiest way in terms of the law."

In the meantime, the government does very much to improve integration efforts, Kurz said. He added, however, that success depends very much on the number of those [who should be] integrated.

Comment: Let's trace this development back to its starting point: Shutting down Muslim kindergartens (result of) reconstituting Muslims in a secular society (result of) Islamophobia (result of) refugee influx (result of) fleeing the war (result of) killing millions (result of) bombing neighborhoods (result of) coalition meddling (result of) a key piece in someone's long-term agenda...Bingo.

Schoolboys unhappy with their school's 'no shorts' policy have registered their protest in a novel way - by wearing skirts to beat the hot weather.

Dozens of pupils from Isca Academy in Exeter became involved in the bizarre demonstration after the school's principal ruled that students would not be allowed wear shorts despite Britain being in the grips of a heatwave.

A handful of pupils protested Wednesday, borrowing skirts from friends and sisters. By Thursday, the idea had gone viral and scores of boys showed up to school having ditched their long trousers in favor of the tartan skirt which forms part of the official girls uniform.

Comment: Eh, so boys are now shaving their legs and wearing skirts to protest the oppressive 'patriarchy'?

DNC worker Seth Rich was murdered in the Bloomingdale neighborhood of D.C. 11 months ago and his killer is still on the loose.

Now, a group of George Washington University graduate students calling themselves the Profiling Project are releasing a report on their own investigation into Rich's murder.

D.C. Police tell the 7 ON YOUR SIDE I-Team that Seth Rich's murder is still being investigated as a botched robbery.

The Profiling Project doesn't buy it. A report just issued by the Profiling Project says the murder was more likely committed by a hired killer.

Law enforcement in Antwerp, Belgium's second-largest city, lists almost 560 people it considers radicalized or at risk of radicalization, its mayor said in the wake of a foiled terrorist attack in Brussels.

Bart De Wever revealed that about one person in 1,000 has been flagged as a potential terrorist threat. He gave the statistics during a Wednesday interview with the Een TV station. Not each of them is currently residing in Antwerp.

"There are 189 people who are really dangerous. Of these, 67 people are in Syria, 16 people have returned to Antwerp from there, and 20 wish to leave Syria for Belgium," De Wever said as quoted by the Brussels Times. According to the official, there are 60 more people "whose movements we are closely monitoring."

World population to reach 9.8 billion by 2050, India to overtake China as most populous country in 2024, UN report

A UN report says the world population will reach 9.8 billion in 2050, with India overtaking China as the most populous country in the world.

India is one of the countries with the highest population growths in the world and its population is set to overpass China's in 2024, according to the report by the Department of Economic and Social Affairs' Population Division.

Currently, India's 1.34 billion population and China's 1.41 billion together constitute more than a third (37 percent) of the world population of nearly 7.6 billion.

In a previous 2015 projection, the UN had estimated 2022 to be the year India reaches the No.1 place.

Census data reveals America's 'white alone' population decreasing while all other ethnic groups grow

The 'white alone' population in the US experienced a decrease between 2015 and 2016 while all other races saw an increase, according to newly-released census data. The numbers also showed that the overall population of the US is getting older.

The figures, released by the US Census Bureau on Thursday, found that while all other groups experienced a natural increase (having more births than deaths) during the time period, the 'non-Hispanic white alone' group saw a natural decrease of 163,300.

The decrease left the 'white alone' population remaining at 198 million of the nation's 325 million people.

Meanwhile, the country's Asian population saw the biggest surge, growing by 3 percent to 21.4 million. Those who identified as being of two or more races also grew by 3 percent, to 8.5 million.

The Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander population grew by 2.1 percent to 1.5 million, while Hispanics grew by 2 percent, to 57.5 million.

At least the WHO, stopped their concert immediately, when that tragedy happened in Cincinnati. This, on the other hand is reprehensible.
