Two dead in Manchester synagogue attack, with suspect shot dead by police Video from the scene, verified by the BBC, shows a man with items strapped around his waist. The attack happened on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

This is utterly dreadful and very close to home. My thoughts are with all those affected and the brave emergency responders.

@aerlingus.bsky.social could you explain how a carry on bag in Manchester Airport Terminal 1 was acceptable but not for the return leg from Belfast City Airport? Same company. Different policies applying?

A cartoon image of a world war II soldier carrying a flag that says Victory and Peace in Europe. Don’t lose it again.

A very poignant image from the Daily Mirror ‘Victory and Peace in Europe’. Don’t lose it again. Peace is fragile. We owe to those who gave their lives to always work towards lasting peace. #VEday

It was fantastic to open the @foodmuseumuk.bsky.social in Stowmarket’s first-of-its-kind School Dinners exhibition this week. It was a truly brilliant event and has been getting the national attention it deserves! The exhibition is open for 2 years, and I cannot recommend a visit enough.

Unfortunately Elsie Northern Care Alliance NHS Trust have stopped iron infusions for women suffering anaemia as a result of this and other gynaecology conditions at the PIU in Rochdale Infirmary. They have been unable to provide a reason for this or a public sector equalities duty assessment.

When our reporter climbed onto the fence of the farm connected to much of the beef on our plates, he saw cattle standing in waste

“I smelled the farm long before I saw it,” writes TBIJ's Andrew Wasley. “Many of the animals were caked in excrement and muck” 👇

@lner.co.uk Thank you to a lovely crew on the 8AM Edinburgh Waverley to Peterborough train. The train had to terminate at Newcastle but not before they carefully provided a train-to-train evacuation of stranded passengers on another train. The driver and crew are a credit to LNER. 👏🏻
