Families Demand Answers in Nottingham Attacks Inquiry

The public inquiry into the Nottingham attacks, set to begin in London, will scrutinize the events of June 2023 when Valdo Calocane killed three people, including Grace O'Malley-Kumar and Barnaby Webber, and injured others. The inquiry, led by Judge Deborah Taylor, will focus on the actions of healthcare and law enforcement agencies, aiming to uncover systemic failures and propose reforms. Families of the victims, such as Dr. Sanjoy Kumar, emphasize the need for transparency and accountability, particularly concerning Calocane's mental health treatment. Survivor Wayne Birkett, who was struck by Calocane's vehicle, also seeks answers about the day of the attack. The inquiry reflects community demands for change and aims to ensure future safety through legislative and systemic improvements.

London Woman Forms Bond with Rescued Fox

In Hackney, London, Blakeley Bermingham has formed a unique bond with a fox named Meatball after nursing it back to health. The fox, initially found with severe mange in Bermingham's garden in October 2024, was treated with assistance from the Fox Angels Foundation. The charity provided medications mixed in food which Bermingham offered to the fox, leading to its recovery. Despite losing her cubs due to poor health, Meatball regained strength and often visits the garden, sometimes entering Bermingham’s home. Bermingham emphasizes the need for human responsibility towards urban foxes, supported by Fox Angels, which treats numerous cases monthly across the UK. Fox Angels Foundation relies on donations and advocates for the humane treatment of foxes in urban areas.
