Sudanese man walked 31-miles through the Euro Tunnel to arrive in England

The migrant man from Sudan took it upon himself to arrive in England in his own style from France - he walked down the 31-mile long Euro Tunnel and it took him 11 hours. During his walk, he would have been just a few feet from trains traveling down the tunnel at speeds of 100mph. His actions were incredibly dangerous and could have put the lives of passengers on trains and workers in the tunnel at severe risk.
This has been reported in dailymail.co.uk dated 5 January 2015.

The 40-year-old had been arrested but even though MPs have condemned the decision to grant asylum to a Sudanese migrant who walked 31 miles through the Channel Tunnel, he will now be given state-funded accommodation in a B&B, flat or house and is entitled to a weekly allowance of £36.95. He will also be allowed free NHS healthcare, prescriptions, dental care and eyesight tests.
He will enjoy refugee status and MPs feel that granting him refugee status will send the wrong message to others who are desperate to enter the country, they said.

Britain in grip of hurricane-force winds of 113mph – travel plans go awry

#Stornoway #Scotland #hurricane #ScotRail Britain is in the grip of hurricane-force winds of 113mph on the island of Stornoway and travel plans have gone awry with all ScotRail train services across Scotland suspended – this terrible Atlantic storm has caused havoc with nearly 75,000 homes without power. The suspension of train services is for 'safety reasons'.
The gusts was at its peak of 113mph on Stornoway – this was the strongest winds since records began to be kept in 1970. In other places the speeds were 110mph at Loch Glascarnoch in the Highlands, 97mph in Altnaharra and 61mph in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Of course, the strongest was in Cairngorm where speeds reached 140mph.
In other places the wind speeds of between 60mph and 70mph are expected in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, where the Met Office has put in place yellow 'be prepared' warnings.
Moreover, due to such strong winds, trees are down and are blocking roads, especially in the Highlands and Aberdeenshire, and alert has been given for people not to travel 'unless absolutely necessary'. Many buildings have been damaged, trees uprooted and power lines have been affected by the high winds.
The gales are believed to have been caused by a 250mph Atlantic jet stream heading for the north of Scotland from the US.
