Plans for Skyscrapers at Hellinikon Raising Concerns

The said buildings are the following: a 45-storey skyscraper with a five star hotel, casino and congress center; a 48-floor residential building; a metropolitan park building within the park area which will include a 200m observation tower and will host sports and music events; a 50-storey multipurpose building and two office and hotel structures on Vouliagmenis Ave.

The decision to erect skyscrapers on the site has raised concerns among experts who say the buildings will come in contrast with Attica’s coastline architecture. Residents meanwhile have appealed to the forestry commission.

There are currently no skyscrapers in Athens, with the tallest building reaching 103 m height.

Dimitris Legakis' fears for safety after racist attack

Greek-born Dimitris Legakis has lived and worked in Wales for 17 years and considers the UK his home. But since he was hurt in a racially-motivated attack last year, he fears for the safety of his family.

He spoke to BBC Wales after South Wales Police said hate crime was still drastically under-reported.

It follows official figures released in October showing the number of hate crimes across England and Wales rose by 29% in 2016-17.

"I ended up with two broken arms, my right forearm, the left one a little bone called the scaphoid which hasn't healed yet," Mr Legakis said.

"I couldn't work for two months, I calculated it was over £10,000 of work that I lost out on."

During the five-minute call to police Mr Legakis can be heard screaming for help as his attacker Daniel Skelton kicked and punched him to the ground.

As well as broken bones, Mr Legakis suffered facial injuries, cuts, serious bruising and was left traumatised by the attack.

Skelton, 29, from Redcar, North Yorkshire, was jailed for 28 months in June after admitting racially aggravated grievous bodily harm, two charges of racially-aggravated damage and damaging property.

NGTS-1b: 'Monster' Planet Too Big To Exist Baffles Scientists

A "monster" planet so massively large in comparison to its star that it contradicts everything we thought we knew about planets and their formation has been discovered.

The planet, NGTS-1b, is the biggest planet ever discovered in comparision to the star it orbits. Its existence throws into question much of what we know about what can and cannot occur in the great abyss of space.
