Young entrepreneurs and creatives aged between 12 and 21 will this weekend be showcasing and selling their incredible products at a new youth market in Cleethorpes.

Held from 10am to 5pm on Saturday, September 29 at Cleethorpes Leisure Centre, the completely free-to-attend Cleethorpes Urban Youth Market has been in the making for several months through a series of business workshops aimed at empowering young people.

Delivering the workshops was Lynsey Powles, a talented local artist and the organiser of Cleethorpes Urban Art Festival, Sandra Ritchie of the We Are FISH community interest group and the team at The Ticket Office, a new youth art hub and gallery where the workshops were held.

The initiative was supported by Grimsby Creates, Arts Council England, the Heritage Fund and North East Lincolnshire Council, and allowed each participant to be awarded £100 to purchase supplies from 3D printing machines to canvases and paint, giving them full control over their creative process and business decisions.

Gatwick airport terminal to reopen after security alert

Gatwick’s south terminal is reopening after a security alert was cleared by police, the airport said. The building was closed to new passengers for more than four hours on Friday as Sussex Police deployed its bomb disposal unit because of “the discovery of a suspected prohibited item in luggage”. The force said it was called to what is the UK’s second busiest airport at 8.20am. Passengers who had not cleared security were required to evacuate at around 10.30am. The airport released a statement at 2.44pm which said: “The earlier security alert has now been resolved and cleared by police. “The south terminal is reopening to staff and will be open to passengers shortly.” It added: “There are some delays and cancellations. Passengers should contact their airline for any updates on flights.” Sussex Police said in a statement that an explosive ordnance disposal team was deployed to the airport “as a precaution” and a security cordon was put in place. Around 100,000 passengers were set to travel through the airport on Friday. A number of flights to and from the south terminal were cancelled, including at least 16 departures and 13 arrivals by British Airways. Other flights continued to depart, but were only carrying passengers who had passed through security before the evacuation. A British Airways flight to Orlando in the US departed one hour and 49 minutes late. Spanish carrier Vueling ordered an inbound flight from Barcelona and one from Seville to turn around and return to their starting airports. A Norwegian flight to Bergen departed two hours and seven minutes late. The north terminal was unaffected. Nejadeen Braham, 35, who works as a nurse on the Isle of Man, was due to fly to her homeland of Jamaica to collect her children. Speaking to the PA news agency outside the south terminal, she said: “I couldn’t get in the airport. I saw everybody coming (out) from one direction. “I was supposed to go inside, drop my bags and go through security. “When I got here I saw everybody coming down. “There were no proper updates. “I m very frustrated.” British Airways said in a statement it was “in contact with affected customers and giving them updates as and when we can”. It went on: “We’re also providing them with options including flight re-bookings and hotel accommodation where necessary. “We ask customers to check ba.com for the latest flight information before coming to the airport.” Train services at Gatwick were suspended as the railway station is attached to the south terminal, but are set to resume. Aviation analytics website Cirium said 316 flights were scheduled to depart from the airport on Friday, with a total of more than 60,600 seats. A further 318 flights were scheduled to arrive, with more than 61,400 seats. As of now, only 70% of flights had departed within 15 minutes of the scheduled time.

British lawyers parents devastated at her suspected poisoning death

The parents of a British lawyer who died after allegedly being served drinks laced with methanol in Laos have said they are “devastated by the loss of our beautiful, kind and loving daughter”. Simone White, 28, from Orpington, Kent, was one of a number of people taken to hospital after the incident in the popular backpacking town of Vang Vieng last week. Police in Laos have detained the manager and owner of a hostel in connection with the death of Ms White and five others, who are also believed to have been poisoned. In a statement, Ms White’s parents said: “We are devastated by the loss of our beautiful, kind and loving daughter Simone. “Simone was one of a kind and had the most wonderful energy and spark for life. “She was a soul who gave so much to so many and was loved by her family, friends and colleagues. “Simone has been taken from us too soon, she will be sorely missed by her brother, grandmother and entire family. “Our hearts go out to all other families who have been affected by this terrible tragedy.” An officer at Vang Vieng’s Tourism Police office said no charges have been filed but a “number of people” have been detained in the case. Staff at the Nana Backpacker Hostel, which is still operating but not accepting new guests, confirmed the manager and owner were among those taken in for questioning. Ms White was a lawyer with global law firm Squire Patton Boggs, whose work involved general commercial matters, and contentious and non-contentious intellectual property law issues, according to the firm’s website. In a statement, the law firm said: “It is with deep sadness that we mourn the tragic passing of our dear friend and colleague Simone White. “Simone was a talented colleague with a bright future ahead of her and someone who epitomised (our firm’s) values. “Our thoughts go out to all of Simone’s family, friends and those colleagues and clients who had the privilege to work with and know Simone. She will be sincerely missed.” The FCDO said it was also providing consular assistance to British nationals being treated in hospital after the incident, as well as their families. Five others are currently known to have died, including two Australian teenagers, an American and two Danish tourists. The FCDO said it was in contact with the local authorities regarding the British nationals affected. Those poisoned in the incident are believed to have been served drinks tainted with methanol, which is sometimes used by disreputable bars as a cheaper alternative to ethanol, but can cause severe poisoning or death. Duong Duc Toan, manager of the Nana Backpacker Hostel, said staff were told by other guests that the women were unwell after they failed to check out as planned on November 13, and they arranged transport to a hospital for them. He said the women had joined more than 100 other guests for free shots of Lao vodka offered by the hostel two days earlier. He said no other guest reported any issue, adding the alleged victims had then gone for a night-out, returning in the early hours of the morning. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told parliament that 19-year-old Bianca Jones died after being evacuated from Vang Vieng for treatment in a Thai hospital. A second Australian was reported to have died on Friday following the incident. Australia said “several foreign nationals” had been victims of methanol poisoning. The US State Department confirmed an American had died and Denmark’s Foreign Ministry said two of its citizens also died in “the incident in Laos”, but neither would comment directly on a link to the methanol poisoning that killed Ms Jones. Thai authorities confirmed Ms Jones died because of a “brain swelling due to high levels of methanol found in her system”. Landlocked Laos is one of south-east Asia’s poorest nations and a popular tourist destination. Vang Vieng is particularly popular among backpackers seeking partying and adventure sports. Officials in Laos have released almost no details about the case, with the government keeping a tight lid on information. The country is a one-party communist state with no organised opposition.
