'Vice Admiral Johnson has consistently distinguished himself by his ability to ensure that different aspects of defense work together,' he said.

Little Lewis noticed a puddle growing around his pawpaw on the carpet with his classmates. He realised - too late - that he had required the ­toilet. He was still learning the tell-tale signs at the age of four and just out of nappies. The truth was only revealed when his mother picked him up three hours later to find him swollen and on the brink of tears.

Ryan Bane called her best friend Kate Owen, a former flight attendant who was island-hopping around the Caribbean, just 12 hours after discovering Sarm Heslop missing from his catamaran in the United States Virgin Islands. Bane said he was awakened by his boat's anchor alarm at 2 a.m. on March 8, 2021, and discovered Sarm, his girlfriend, vanished without a trace. Kate recalls: "He sounded tumultuous, but he was almost drained from it all." I remember thinking, "That's strange, because how do you know she's definitely gone?"'

Heslop, 41, was last seen alive three years ago after her and her boyfriend Ryan Bane, from Michigan, were seen leaving a restaurant in the US Virgin Islands. No suspects were found in connection with her abduction, but there was no hint as to how the strong swimmer vanished.

Miss Heslop, 41, of Essex, vanished nearly three years ago while riding her luxury partner Ryan Bane's £500,000 boat on March 8 2021 after matching on dating apps Tinder eight months before. Brenda Street, her mother, has now revealed that the police investigation in the Caribbean has been harmed by corruption and efforts to protect tourism on the idyllic island of Aruba. Sarm went missing, but the 67-year-old, who has promised to reveal the truth, said, "I don't believe it." I suspect she was murdered. I want justice for her. I want to bring her home so I know where she is - she deserving that.'

More than 100,000 parents have registered to receive 15 hours of free childcare for two-year-olds as part of a new £8 billion initiative. However, short-staffed nurseries, many of which are based in primary schools, warn that they will not be able to cope with high demand. Nurseries in England have long waiting lists for one- and two-year-olds, and two-thirds will have to expand their premises before they can accept more children. Two-year-olds - who still need nappies, have poor vocabulary, and some are still in nappies - could end up in the same classroom as three- and four-year-olds who should be teaching basic literacy and numeracy skills.

Since being found with corrosive warning labels on them, police are testing containers that may have contained corrosive substances. Forensic tests are ongoing to see if the containers contained the chemical used in the attack, which culminated in the 35-year-old Abdul Ezedi throwing 'acid' on the mother and her children in Clapham on January 31. A dramatic video shows the moment police raided a house in the hunt for the criminal, who is still on the run days after the assault. Ezedi and her two young children were involved in a horrific situation that sparked a national manhunt when they were in a union with the woman who diduse in the chemical together with her two young children.

The Met Police reported yesterday that a 31-year-old mother was left with 'life-changing' injuries, though her two children, aged three and eight, are also in hospital. Ezedi, who was last seen riding a Victoria line train at King's Cross at 9 p.m. on Wednesday, was seen with'major injuries to the right side of his face.'

As police investigate 'important and relevant' evidence that has been found in searches, the hunt for suspected 'acid' attacker Abdul Ezedi has entered its third day. Following Wednesday's shooting in Clapham, south London, police have called on the 35-year-old from the Newcastle area, who is described as having extensive injuries to the right side of his face, to hand over the keys. The fugitive has been accused of carrying out the 'targeted' assault on a mother, 31, and her two children, aged three and eight. Sebaghallah Ezedi, his younger brother, 22, has now joined the police in pleading for his release.

Abdul Ezedi's brother has been asked to come to police in Clapham. The 'Abdul should surrender himself to the police,' he said. For what he has done, he should be arrested and face accountability.'

The Metropolitan Police have pleaded for Clapham chemical assault survivor Abdul Ezedi to 'hand himself in' and revealed that the perpetrator is still on London.

According to people familiar with the alleged Clapham South chemical assault, he was a "good Muslim" who purchased Halal meat, avoided alcohol, and planned to return home "to find a wife" prior to the attack. Following two failed asylum applications after converted to Christianity, the Church of England is now facing allegations after finding out that Ezedi, a Persian immigrant, was allowed to remain in the UK.

After an attack with an alkaline drug left a child and her mother with potentially life-changing injuries, Abdul Ezedi, 35 and from Newcastle, is now on the run. According to reports, Ezedi, who is believed to be from Afghanistan, was found guilty of a sexual offense in 2018 and sentenced to a suspended term at Newcastle Crown Court. After two failed attempts, having travelled to the United Kingdom on a lorry in 2016, he was reportedly granted asylum. According to various sources, Ezedi was allowed to remain in the country after a priest confirmed he had converted to Christianity. Former immigration minister Robert Jenrick called on Home Secretary James Cleverly to order a'detailed study' of how Ezedi was allowed to remain in the UK, with Tory MPs requesting that the procedure be changed.

On Wednesday night, Abdul Shokoor Ezedi, 35, is accused of carrying out a 'targeted' attack on the mother and her two children, aged three and eight, in Clapham, south London. It has been reported that Ezedi was a former asylum seeker from Afghanistan who was able to stay in the United Kingdom despite pleaded guilty to one count of sexual harassment and one of exposure following two failed asylum applications. However, he avoided prison after being handed a suspended prison on both charges in 2018 and then was given the right to remain in the UK on his third appeal in 2020 or 2021, according to a priest who said he had converted to Christianity.

It was announced yesterday that prospective childcare employees would be paid £1,000 as an incentive to join the profession. As part of the government's high recruitment drive, a pilot scheme in 20 authorities would see new or returning early-years employees receive tax-free lump sums. However, campaigners said it had been launched 'too late,' and that the plans were 'a drop in the ocean' relative to what is needed to encourage childcare reforms. David Johnston, the children and families minister, said the government was "fully pulling absolutely every lever" to ensure eligible parents would be able to obtain free childcare. Isn't amenable, it's artistic, but it's also doing a really important thing for the country, which is why I hope more people will investigate this and consider it.'

Elowen, Emily Faith Kubowski's daughter, first started showing symptoms in December last year, and her doctors were concerned that she would not recover. They were pretty positive she would never use her legs again or smile again.' In a recent interview with KHNL-TV, Kubowski said, 'She's like a miracle.' Rat lungworm infections are widespread in tropical Asian countries, such as Thailand and the Pacific Islands, and Hawaii is the US epicenter for rat lungworm infections.

The criminals stepped into the store and marched straight toward the Sony console case near the front. On Tuesday, a video was captured of the incident and posted on Facebook, where it was watched more than 200,000 times.

However, BestBuy workers could not do anything to prevent the robbery, but they could only record their faces as they stepped out of the store.

Ministers have been told that a lack of tailored assistance has resulted in children with special educational needs and disabilities being taught in school cupboards. Richard Foord, the Liberal Democrat MP for Tiverton and Honiton, was one of those who urged the government to do more to improve special needs services. Mr Foord said in the Commons: "The Send crisis extends to Devon, and my mailbag is full of letters from parents who are trying to get their children the education they need.'

Target announced on Tuesday that nine stores around the country, including three in San Francisco, would close down, citing robbery and organized retail crime as threatening the retailer's employees and customers. Susan Reynolds, a X writer, said she had been interviewing Bay Bay Bay Bay workers and posted a clip from a San Jose Target saying, "no police nor armed guards." San Jose is about an hour's drive south of San Francisco and has a greater median income, lower crime, and homelessness rates than Golden Gate City.

According to the Department of Education, the number of schools in England where RAAC concrete has been discovered has increased from 147 to 174. This means that more schools with deteriorated concrete could transition to remote education, with some still waiting to be assessed. Thousands of students got off to a late start in their school year earlier this month when many schools were ordered to completely or partially close down buildings to do emergency repairs. After adding their schol to the list, pupils at Stepney All Saints Church of England Secondary School are now learning remotely.

MOLLY KINGSLEY: The revelation that more than 100 schools will be unable to open next week due to fears of unstable concrete is devastating to children. 156 schools were discovered to be in danger of this explosive concrete, of which 104 require urgent intervention, according to the Government. Despite this, it did not reveal the schools that had been affected as of last night. Nor is it clear whether whole schools will be closed or just individual classrooms. With a conservative estimate of 500 students in every school, there has been a minimum of 52,000 children affected by the issue. That's before we consider the study, which revealed that 400 other schools could be affected by the material's long-term use in June.
