I quite often see an interesting news story that I can’t find a thread for and don’t have the confidence for starting a new thread about. So,here is “the latest news” thread, where the latest news can be reported freely and if it’s a big enough story then a new thread can be created for it. latest news! The UN Security Council is going to kick the shit out of Israel after America gave it the go ahead (I may have misunderstood the story) ## [http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-38425512](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-38425512) ---

That Libyan plane hijacking that landed in Malta [Stopped the recording of a film about a hijacking at Malta airport](http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-38416189) i was reading about that hijacking. The two chaps involved were ex gadaffi supporters trying to raise awareness of their new political party. That’s some bad PR advice they were given. ---

I have just read that Rother Council, when talking about the drownings at Camber Sands in the summer, cites “non-swimming persons of a certain culture” as the reason the men drowned. I wonder, does Barry work for Rother Council? ---

They were already fucked off about his plan to bring Iran in from the cold, which must have put the kibosh on a lot of long term plans. Don’t think Trump can trump this either. The resolution won’t be heard again. ---

It’s kind of uncomfortable but Boko Haram doesn’t make the news as it’s in Africa, so less newsworthy. Last 5 years 1000’s of people have disappeared. [Next page](https://www.sotonians.com/t/the-latest-news/1909.md?page=2)
