Trump plans for ‘cities of tents’ at US border

Donald Trump has unveiled plans to construct “cities of tents” in a bid to end the so-called “catch and release” of immigrants at the US border.

The president said he would put a stop to releasing asylum seekers into the country as he continued to push a hard line on immigration.

An executive order on immigration will be issued next week, the US leader added as he spoke to reporters at the White House last night.

Heatwaves in the UK are lasting twice as long as they did 50 years ago, a Met Office report has revealed.

The Met Office’s report, which focuses on weather extremes, also suggests the coldest days in Britain are not as cold as the climate continues to change.

A Japanese pilot arrested at Heathrow Airport for being drunk has admitted to being more than nine times the legal alcohol limit.

The pilot, who works for Japan Airlines, was detained on Sunday after failing a breath test.

He was found to have 189mg of alcohol per 100ml of blood in his system.

The legal limit for a pilot is 20mg.

High streets with too many "unhealthy" businesses like betting shops, fast food outlets and off-licences could be significantly shortening the lives of locals.

Research by the Royal Society for Public Health found that residents living in such towns die younger than those with plenty of libraries and pharmacies.

Its ranking of 70 high streets found those living in the top 10 healthy areas lived an average of two-and-a-half years longer than those with the 10 unhealthiest high streets.

Grimsby was crowned the unhealthiest town, followed by Walsall and Blackpool.
