Three former Supreme Court justices are among over 600 lawyers and academics who have signed a 17-page letter to warn the present situation in Gaza is 'catastrophic'.
Lib Dem leader Sir Ed Davey has been out and about on the local elections campaign trail, visiting the battleground seat of Harrogate and Knaresborough.He spoke to broadcasters in front of the Nidd River to illustrate his call for waterways to be given a 'blue flag' status if they are safe to swim in and do not contain dangerous bacteria following sewage dumping.
'People are fed up of it, and we want to actually raise standards, so we're calling for a new 'blue flag' status for rivers like the River Nidd which would give a signal to people that it would be safe to swim in these rivers.'People used to do that. But now if they do that, children end up getting awful diseases... from the sewage and are ending up in hospital. That's unacceptable.
