Theresa May rejects calls for a general election over Brexit Theresa May has rejected Labour's demands for an early general election, saying a snap vote "would not be in the national interest". Mrs May was speaking to reporters on a flight to New York ahead of the 73rd United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday. The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn believes a general election would be the best way to resolve the political crisis enveloping the Brexit negotiations, after EU leaders rejected the prime minister's Chequers plan in Salzburg last week. Senior Conservative Brexiteers are piling pressure on her to ditch the proposal in favour of a Canada-style deal, as advised by the Institute for Economic Affairs (IEA). Mrs May said on Tuesday: "What I'm doing is working to deliver a good deal with Europe in the national interest, it would not be in the national interest to have a general election." Downing Street aides were weighing up the possibility of calling a snap election after the Chequers plan was snubbed, according to The Sunday Times.
Drivewasy High Wycombe Driveways Guildford Shocking moment newborn baby is saved by Good Samaritans after being buried alive in rubbish pile This is the shocking moment a newborn baby is saved after being found buried alive in a pile of rubbish. Footage shows how Good Samaritans searched through a refuse dump and discover the hidden child wrapped inside a number of plastic bags. Bystanders are audibly shocked as it is revealed the bags actually contains the body of a small infant. The infant makes no noise as a man carefully opens the bags to finally free it, and then whisks the baby off to seek urgent medical treatment. Although quiet, the baby can be seen moving in the footage, both when it is found and then again when being looking after in hospital. It is unclear where the video was filmed but internet users have pointed out that the group are speaking Pidgin French, spoken in many parts of West Africa. It is unclear from the footage what happened to the baby or who left it in the dump. Rather depressingly this isn't the first newborn baby abandoned in rubbish in recent weeks.
Man trying to hold in a sneeze ruptured the back of his throat Holding your nose and closing your mouth while you sneeze might seem a harmless thing to do, but doctors have advised against it following the case of man who ruptured the back of his throat when doing so. Ear, nose and throat specialists at the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust said trying to contain a forceful sneeze in such a way is not a good idea as it could lead to ‘numerous complications’. It's -62°C in Russia and people's eyelashes are freezing Writing in the journal BMJ Case Reports, they described the case of a 34-year-old man, described as previously fit and well, who spent a week in hospital and was left barely able to speak or swallow after suffering spontaneous perforation of the pharynx. They said the ‘unusual condition’ is most often caused by trauma or sometimes by vomiting, retching or heavy coughing, so the patient’s symptoms initially surprised emergency care doctors. He then found it extremely painful to swallow and could barely speak.
Driveways Romford California wildfires lead commuters on a very dangerous journey to work The largest and most destructive of the wildfires in southern California has grown to 140 square miles and fire officials have said the worst may be yet to come. The 90,000-acre fire burning in Ventura County, northwest of Los Angeles, has swept through ridges and canyons to the sea and Santa Ana winds that drove it are expected to return with a vengeance overnight. It's not just Brits who fight over sun loungers at the beach State fire director Ken Pimlott said winds that eased in the afternoon could return with gusts up to 80mph on Thursday that would make it impossible to fight the fire. Dozens of homes have burned since the blaze erupted on Monday. Nearly 1,800 firefighters and a fleet of aircraft are fighting the flames but the blaze is only 5% contained and an estimated 12,000 buildings are in danger. Earlier a wildfire in a wealthy western area of Los Angeles reached an estate and winery owned by media mogul Rupert Murdoch.
