Pupil Dies After School Wall Collapses

A schoolgirl has died after a wall collapsed onto her at an Edinburgh school.

Police were called to the accident at Liberton High School shortly before 10am.

Ambulance staff treated the girl at the scene, but she was pronounced dead.

Her name will not be released until next of kin have been informed.

A spokesman for Police Scotland said: "Police in Edinburgh responded to Liberton High School after a wall within the building collapsed, injuring a female pupil at 10am.

"She was treated by ambulance staff on the scene, but was pronounced dead."

He added: "Inquiries into the full circumstances surrounding this incident are on-going and we are working alongside our relevant partner agencies."

A spokesman for the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said: "Firefighters assisted ambulance personnel to remove a female casualty from a collapsed structure but sadly she was pronounced dead at the scene.

"Thoughts are with the family at this difficult time."

A spokesman for Edinburgh City Council said: "A pupil at Liberton High School has sadly died following an incident at the school.

"Senior education staff and health and safety officers from the council are at the school providing support to staff and pupils."

Edinburgh Southern SNP MSP Jim Eadie, whose constituency covers the school, said: "I am deeply shocked and saddened by this tragic incident, and the thoughts of the entire community are with the family and friends of this young girl."

Edinburgh City Council has previously been prosecuted for "serious safety failings" at the same school.

The authority was fined £8,000 in February after a girl was seriously injured when she fell more than 16 feet as teachers tried to free her from a broken lift.

The student, then aged 15, needed to be kept in hospital suffering with three fractured vertebrae, bruising over her lower back, and a sprained wrist.

The council was fined at Edinburgh Sheriff Court after pleading guilty to breaching Section 3 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, according to the Health and Safety Executive.

Police Shooting Video Sparks Violent Protests

Officers in riot gear have clashed with demonstrators in Albuquerque after video emerged of police shooting dead a homeless man.

Police fired tear gas, charged at protesters and made several arrests after the 10-hour demonstration in the New Mexico city on Sunday. 

Albuquerque's mayor, Richard Berry, said the protest had turned from peaceful into "mayhem".

"We respected their rights to protest obviously," Mr Berry said, "but what it appears we have at this time is individuals who weren't connected necessarily with the original protest.

The mayor said the demonstration turned into 'mayhem'

"They've taken it far beyond a normal protest."

The protesters blocked traffic, tried to get on freeways and shouted anti-police slogans.

Gas canisters were thrown outside police headquarters, while rocks were hurled at officers, with at least one injured, according to news reports.

People are angry over Albuquerque police's involvement in 37 shootings, 23 of them fatal, since 2010.

One shooting in particular, that of homeless camper James Boyd in the city's foothills, has outraged citizens.

The protest began during the day and lasted for about 10 hours

The March 16 incident was captured on video and followed a long stand-off.

Police released the video, taken from a helmet camera, and insisted the shooting was justified.

They said they wanted Mr Boyd to move and stop illegally camping in an open space, but he refused to comply and threatened police.

The FBI has opened an investigation.

Climate Change: 'We're All Sitting Ducks'

Flooding, droughts, heatwaves and wildfires will pose a massive threat to humans in the future as climate change worsens, a major United Nations report has warned.

The report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said the impact of global warming was already being felt and would increase with every additional degree that temperatures rose.

The world is in "an era of man-made climate change" and has already seen impacts of global warming on every continent and across the oceans, the report said.

IPCC chair Rajendra Pachauri said: "Nobody on this planet is going to be untouched by the impacts of climate change."

Experts are warning that in many cases, people are ill-prepared to cope with the risks of a changing climate.

Greenland is threatened by melting Arctic ice

The document, unveiled in Yokohama in Japan after a five-day meeting, gives the starkest warning yet by the IPCC of extreme consequences from climate change, and delves into greater detail than ever before into the impact at regional level.

The White House said it is taking the report as a call for action, with Secretary of State John Kerry saying: "Waiting is truly unaffordable. The costs of inaction are catastrophic."

Climate change could massively impact on world food production. Source: WRI

Food security will be hit by reduced yields in wheat, rice and maize crops, while climate change will also exacerbate existing health problems, and lead to more heatwave-related deaths, malnutrition and disease, the report said.

Increasing numbers of people are set to be displaced by extreme weather events, and the impacts of rising temperatures could contribute to a greater risk of violent conflicts by worsening problems such as poverty.

The report's publication has renewed calls from scientists and campaigners for action to cut greenhouse gases and to help vulnerable people adapt to "already-unavoidable impacts of climate change".

Air pollution in Beijing

Vicente Barros, co-chair of the IPCC study, from the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina, said: "We live in an era of man-made climate change.

"In many cases, we are not prepared for the climate-related risks that we already face. Investments in better preparation can pay dividends both for the present and for the future."

Princeton University professor Michael Oppenheimer, one of the main authors of the 32-volume report, warned: "We're all sitting ducks."

Risk of coastal and inland flooding in UK 'is set to increase'

Professor Sam Fankhauser, of the London School of Economics, who is a contributing author to the report, said: "In the UK and the rest of northern Europe, we will need to cope with increasing risks from coastal and inland flooding, heatwaves and droughts.

"The UK and all rich countries must also provide significant support to help poor countries, which are particularly vulnerable, to cope with the impacts of climate change."

The report is the second chapter of the fifth assessment by the IPCC, set up in 1988 to provide neutral, science-based guidance to governments.

Wildfires are projected to be an even bigger threat

The last overview, published in 2007, unleashed a wave of political action that strived but failed to forge a worldwide treaty on climate change in Copenhagen in 2009.

The latest report builds on previous IPCC forecasts that global temperatures will rise 0.3-4.8C (0.5-8.6F) this century, on top of roughly 0.7C since the Industrial Revolution.

Seas will rise by 26-82cm (10-32in) by 2100, it is predicted.

Missing Malaysia Plane: 'Truth Will Prevail'

The "truth will prevail" in the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines plane, the country's transport minister has pledged.

Hishammuddin Hussein made the promise during the latest news conference on the mystery of flight MH370.

He said analysis had revealed five objects retrieved from the Indian Ocean on Saturday were not from the Boeing missing 777.

But when asked to clarify the pilots' last words before contact was lost with the aircraft and whether it had performed a sharp left turn, Mr Hussein said such matters were still a focus for investigators.

"Can I just give you an assurance?," he said.

"All these inquiries are already in place and the truth will prevail and will be out there.

"So basically, if you're asking questions which are part and parcel of investigations, talking about transcripts, you must be fair to us because only those who are doing the investigations can give us the ok.

"There comes a time when this can be shared with the public ... We are not hiding anything, we're just following the procedure that has been set."

He said the search area now covered  254,000 sq km of the Indian Ocean.

And he added that the deployment of deep-sea and recovery assets was being discussed with other countries as the search effort moved into a more complex phase.

It came after a statement by Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott, who said the "extraordinarily difficult" search would go on for as long as possible.

Mr Abbott said the "best brains in the world" were trying to solve the mystery, with 10 aircraft and 10 ships now searching the ocean 1,200 miles (2,000km) off the western coast of Australia for debris from the plane.

The aircraft was travelling from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia to the Chinese capital Beijing more than three weeks ago, when it vanished with 239 people on board. 

Speaking at Pearce Base in Perth, which is home for the search teams scouring the southern Indian Ocean, Mr Abbott said crews were "well, well short" of any point where they would scale back their efforts.

"If this mystery is solvable, we will solve it," he said.

Missing Plane: Busiest Day Yet In MH370 Search

Learning Lessons From Missing Flight MH370

Updated: 9:23am UK, Saturday 29 March 2014

By Ian Woods, Senior Correspondent

The small consolation that should come with every airline crash is that the knowledge gained from the tragedy should help prevent it happening again.

But if that were true, we might already know more about what happened to flight MH370.

After the Air France accident of 2009, in which 228 people died when their flight from Brazil plunged into the Atlantic, 120 representatives of the international aviation industry got together to recommend ways to make it easier to find aircraft which crash into the sea. 

None has been implemented.

They suggested that the flight data recorders - the black boxes - should have larger batteries so they would carry on transmitting a beacon for 90 rather than 30 days. 

But bigger batteries mean extra weight and extra cost for the airlines to install them.

They also suggested the recorders should be designed to break away and float to the surface, rather than sink to the sea floor along with the rest of the fuselage.

And that the frequency of the transmission should be altered to boost how far away it can be heard, beyond its current 2,000 metre maximum.

Salvage expert David Mearns, from Blue Water Recoveries, told Sky News: "If you reduce that frequency, the lower the frequency, the greater the range. 

"You go from 37.5khz , to say, 8.8khz as recommended, I think that would increase the range to over 10,000 metres.

"So that's a five times increase in your detectable range and that would help the teams out there now looking for these black boxes."

As for why the recommendations weren't acted upon? 

"It's a very big industry. It's an international industry," said Mr Mears.

"It takes a lot of time for these things to work themselves through the regulations; how they would operate, how the pilots would be trained to use them; they have to be implemented on the aircraft, so it takes years for these things to be done."

In an age when we can all track most passenger aircraft on our smartphones and computers, how can a plane still go missing? 

Most, but not all, areas of the world are now covered by the Acars ADS-B system, allowing them to be constantly tracked. Although smaller, older aircraft are not equipped.

There are new regulations being introduced around the world compelling airlines to fit them in all passenger aircraft. 

But in some places the deadline is 2020.  

Mikael Robertsson, the founder of Flightradar24.com, told Sky: "Maybe authorities in these countries don't want to rush or I guess it costs quite a lot of money for airlines to upgrade their equipment on board."

In any case, it appears the system on MH370 was switched off. 

One current 777 pilot told Sky he could not think of a good reason why he would do such a thing. 

And with so many flights criss-crossing vast expanses of water, knowing the plane's last position is crucial to a swift recovery. 

Mr Robertsson said: "I think this is something that should be discussed: How much pilots should be able to turn off, and how easy it should be to turn some systems off?"

The backgrounds of the pilots have been scrutinised to assess the likelihood of criminal or suicidal behaviour. 

Professor Robert Bor is a clinical psychologist who has studied those who fly, and was specifically asked to review an incident involving an American Jet Blue pilot who had a psychotic episode while flying from New York to Las Vegas.

Captain Clayton Osbon left the cockpit and screamed at passengers before being subdued by some of those on board. 

His co-pilot landed the plane safely in Texas. 

Prof Bor and others concluded there were no warning signs beforehand which could have prevented the incident.     

"Every year an airline pilot will have at least two formal medical checks which address not just their physical health but their mental health. Every time they are doing the job they are scrutinised by people."

Pilot suicide is not unheard of, and is considered the most likely explanation for the crash of an Indonesian SilkAir flight in 1997. 

The pilot was heavily in debt - 104 passengers and crew were killed.

Airlines may also be studying how Malaysia Airlines has handled the disaster from a public relations perspective. 

The families of the passengers have gone from grieving to protesting, angry at being kept waiting for news, furious about misinformation, and the final indignity - some of them were told the plane had crashed by text message. 

Crisis management expert Raine Marcus told Sky News: "The communications with the families didn't inspire trust from the beginning.

"If you don't build up trust and goodwill right from the beginning, that has a direct impact afterwards on communications with the families and also directly on your business."

In the months and years ahead, as details emerge of what happened to MH370, there will undoubtedly be calls for lessons to be learned.

And in the meantime millions of us will continue to fly, hoping that our flight will not be one of the very rare ones, which does not have a safe landing.

Student's Deportation To Mauritius Halted

Student Yashika Bageerathi, who had been facing deportation to Mauritius without her family today, will not be removed as planned.

The 19-year-old had been told she would be flown back at 5pm on Mother's Day.

Sky News' Clare Fallon said Miss Bageerathi was informed she would not be on the Sunday flight from Heathrow, late on Saturday night, but was not told the reason why.

People protest against the removal of Miss Bageerathi

Lawyers were due to make a last-ditch legal bid to prevent the deportation on Sunday.

Ahead of the latest development, Miss Bageerathi told Sky News: "I just want to be with my mum right now and celebrate Mother's Day as we do every year because I know she is very special to me."

There has been a growing campaign against her deportation led by her school, and backed by MP David Burrowes, who represents Enfield Southgate.

More than 40 people gathered outside Parliament on Saturday afternoon to protest over her removal, and on online petition has received almost 155,000 signatures.

Shadow Immigration Minister David Hanson has also said he would be contacting the Home Office to call for a review of the decision.

Miss Bageerathi came to the UK in 2011 with her mother and two younger siblings to escape alleged physical abuse by a relative, and claimed asylum in the summer of 2013.

She had been attending the Oasis Academy Hadley school, where she was described as a first-class student, until she was detained at Yarl's Wood on March 19.

Home Secretary Theresa May has said it would not be appropriate to "interfere" with the case.

Newlywed Who Pushed Husband Off Cliff Jailed

A bride who had doubts about her eight-day-old marriage and then killed her husband by pushing him off a cliff has been jailed for 30 years.

The judge in Missoula, Montana, told Jordan Graham she showed no remorse and "did not have the human capacity to feel the wrongfulness of what she'd done".

Graham, 22, said on the day her husband Cody Johnson died last July, the couple had driven to Glacier National Park and then walked to the cliff face.

She then told him she was not happy and "wasn't sure we should be married".

Mr Johnson, 25, then responded by grabbing her hand, she claimed, adding she thought he was going to pull her.

"I told him to let go and I pushed his hand off," Graham said.

She said she "just pushed his hand off and just pushed away", with one hand on his arm and one on his back.

Graham pictured at an earlier court hearing

The defendant had pleaded guilty to second-degree murder but then tried to withdraw her plea last December.

She claimed prosecutors were going back on an agreement by seeking a life sentence.

But US District Judge Donald Molloy denied the request. He sentenced Graham to 30 years in prison with no chance for early parole, followed by five years of supervised release.

Graham broke down in tears before sentencing as she began her address to the judge, saying she still loved the husband she killed.

"A day doesn't go by I don't think about what happened and why I didn't make different decisions," she said.

"It was a moment of complete shock and panic. I have no other explanation."

She also apologised to Mr Johnson's mother as well as her own family. But the judge indicated he had continuing doubts about her honesty.

"There's only one person in this room that knows what happened, and I don't think she's been entirely truthful about what happened," Judge Molloy said.

Graham had initially told investigators her husband left their house with unknown friends and showed police a fabricated email from a 'friend' saying he was dead and search should be called off.
