Fertility tourism

Desperate couples are being forced abroad for fertility treatment amid widespread cutbacks to NHS IVF provision, experts have warned.

Restrictions by British health services have prompted a boom in “fertility tourism”, with increasing numbers turning to countries such as Spain, Greece and the Czech republic, a report suggests.

The figures show that access to IVF treatment on the NHS has hit a record low.

Slightly odd story emerging from Zakynthos: a middle aged female tourist from the UK was transferred to Rio hospital, Patras, after suffering severe pain from what appeared to be an insect bite. Doctors were unable to save her life and suspect a poisonous spider such as a scorpion.


Slightly odd story emerging from, er, Skegness...

The NHS urges anyone who experiences rapid and severe swelling of the face, mouth or throat after an insect sting to call 999 or go to A&E because such symptoms could be a sign of an anaphylactic shock.

A fire has swept through a new block of flats in east London with a witness claiming it was started by a solar panel on the roof.

London Fire Brigade said some 80 firefighters were battling the blaze, with dramatic images posted online showing the roof consumed by flames.

The blaze took place at a development still under construction containing five houses and 19 apartments, which were set to sell for as much as £1million each.

Must have been a biggie as we ended up with 4 Canadairs in the end Maik! As I'm typing this, just after 8pm, the planes are still in the air and damping down. Strange, they always seem to be in the same areas...!

Was woken up planes flying around this morning at 6.30. Looks like there was a fire near St George's Castle but seems to be out now.
