El juez forense afirma que ninguno de los cinco civiles muertos en el incidente en Belfast durante los Troubles debería haber recibido disparos. Soldados del ejército británico “perdieron el control” y utilizaron una fuerza que “no fue razonable” en la muerte de cinco civiles en Irlanda del Norte en 1972, dictaminó un juez de instrucción.

One blaze broke out north-west of Fort Lauderdale in Florida, a state known for its wetlands and evergladesMuch of the US is battling a widespread drought after a very dry winter and start to spring. South-eastern areas, in particular the states of Florida and Georgia, are experiencing some of the worst of this prolonged bout of dry weather, with calls for the risk to be labelled a level 4 “exceptional” drought in the region, the most severe category.
