The impact of Storm Isha continues to be felt around northern Lincolnshire with a weather warning set to remain in place until this afternoon.

An unusual “danger to life” amber wind warning was issued on Sunday that came into effect at 6pm yesterday and ran until 6am today with the winter storm bringing winds of around 60mph quite widely around our region. A less severe yellow-level alert has now replaced this and will be in force until noon today as winds ease.

Gusts are expected to continue to reach 30-50mph throughout Monday but will slowly ease as the day goes on. In its warning, the Met Office said: “Winds will gradually ease from the west during Monday morning. West or southwesterly winds are likely to widely gust 50 to 60mph inland with a few locations, mainly exposed coastal stretches, reaching 70 to 80mph.”

Man appears in court charged with murder over bodies found in suitcases

A man has been remanded in custody after appearing in court charged with two counts of murder over the deaths of two men whose remains were found in suitcases in Bristol. Yostin Andres Mosquera, of Scotts Road, in Shepherd’s Bush, west London, was charged earlier on Monday with murdering 62-year-old Albert Alfonso and 71-year-old Paul Longworth between 8 and 10 July in the London borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. The defendant, 34, assisted by a Spanish interpreter, spoke only to confirm his name, address and date of birth in a short hearing at Wimbledon Magistrates’ Court on Monday. He was remanded in custody and will next appear for a hearing at the Old Bailey on Wednesday. Lead magistrate Christina Ruiz told him: “You are remanded in custody as this court has no powers to consider bail.” Mr Longworth was British and Mr Alfonso was originally from France but had obtained British citizenship, according to the Metropolitan Police. The two men had previously been in a relationship and still lived together at a flat in Scotts Road. Both victims were known to Mosquera and he had been staying with them at the Scotts Road address for a short period of time, police said. Evidence in the investigation so far has not pointed to a homophobic motive, the Met said, but it has been classified as a hate crime under national guidelines. This will be reviewed if clearer evidence emerges, while officers are also working to establish whether there are any linked offences or incidents in the UK or overseas to “build a full picture of the circumstances”, though none has yet been identified. Following the announcement of Mosquera being charged, Deputy Assistant Commissioner Andy Valentine said: “My thoughts are first and foremost with Albert and Paul’s loved ones who are coming to terms with this terrible news. “While we do not believe either of them had any close family, we have identified other next of kin who have been informed and are being supported by specialist officers. We are continuing to try and identify any extended family members. “I know that this awful incident will cause concern not just among residents in Shepherd’s Bush but in the wider LGBTQ+ community across London. I hope it will be of some reassurance that whilst enquiries are still ongoing and the investigation is at a relatively early stage, we are not currently looking for anyone else in connection with the two murders. “Officers have worked with the pan-London LGBTQ+ Independent Advisory Group (IAG) since the identity of the two victims and their sexuality was established. Their advice, expertise and support for the investigation has been extremely valuable. “We will continue to work with them, and with other partners including local IAGs, as the investigation and the policing response continues.” Mosquera was arrested in the Bristol area in the early hours of Saturday following a joint operation carried out by the Metropolitan Police and Avon and Somerset Police. The remains were found in two suitcases dumped near Clifton Suspension Bridge on Wednesday, while further remains were found at an address in Scotts Road on Friday.

Forecasting Resilience Analysing Projections of the UKs Economy

The UK is well known to be an economic heavyweight, ranking in the top ten globally for GDP. However, the whole economic sector has been fraught with difficulties due to ongoing world events. During such uncertain times, it’s important to review the current state to be able to properly assess future predictions, which is exactly what we’ll do below. The Current State of the UK’s Economy After some turbulent times, the UK’s economy began shrinking for the first time in this decade. Of course, it was not the only country suffering during those times, but it was still felt by the population. Between a lack of jobs, lower wages, and a higher cost of living, this was not a good time for anyone. More recently, the economy has begun stabilising thanks to the work done by several industries. One such industry is the iGaming sector, such as with live casino in the UK platforms. They provide different games to their users, from roulette to blackjack to even game shows. Another field that has been helping fortify the economy is the financial sector. This is not surprising as London has been the leading international financial centre for centuries. Thanks to the aforementioned fields, along with others like manufacturing, the economy in the country has taken a turn for the positive in the first quarter of 2024, as per KMPG. This has led to changes that have impacted everyday workers with an increased average salary, along with companies who have been reaching higher profits. In turn, this has increased disposable income, which leads to more consumption and helps the economy move along accordingly. Future Predictions After far too many trials and tribulations, the UK has finally reached a certain level of stability. While there hasn’t been a proper recovery yet, this is the perfect foundation to jumpstart the economy and work on increasing its growth. In fact, as per NIESR’s recent article, they expect the GDP to grow by 0.9% in 2024. However, one major factor is how the latest election will impact the economy. For the first time in 14 years, the Conservative Party has lost to the Labour Party. This is most certainly going to impact the economy, in one way or another. As it stands, the Labour Party has promised to work on delivering economic stability. They have advised that this will be achieved through updated tax rules, such as capping corporation taxes at 25% and removing private education tax loopholes. Moreover, the plan is to invest in clean energy, creating Great British Energy, which will generate approximately 650 thousand jobs. Overall, their plans seem to be extensive when it comes to improving the overall quality of life of the people by focusing on feasible economic growth. From our assessment of the current state of the economy and the promises made by the newly elected government party, the UK is expected to stay strong and continue growing. Of course, this is sure to be a road full of challenges, however, we have plenty of hope when it comes to the future of the country’s economy. Published: 15/07/2024 by Radio NewsHub
