A 50-year-old man is due to appear before Worcester Magistrates accused of murder and arson with intent to endanger life.

His wife and three children suffered smoke inhalation and another male and female are being treated in hospital.

A teenager has appeared at Salford Youth Court today relating to the murder of a two-year-old girl in Greater Manchester. Demi Leigh Mahon was taken to Hope Hospital after she was found with serious head injuries at an address in Liverpool Road, Salford on 15 July.

Passengers Trapped After Train 'Splits'
Hundreds of passengers were trapped in a south London tunnel for around 90 minutes when the train they were travelling in split in two. Five hundred people travelling in the train travelling on the 5.45pm Victoria to Rochester train were trapped in the tunnel until engineers reversed the carriages back into the station. The first five carriages of the train went into Penge tunnel while the final five were left at Sydenham Hill station. There were no reported injuries, and rail operator Southeastern said it would be investigating the incident.
Jersey Says 'No' To Time Change
Residents of Jersey have voted not to swap British time for Central European Time (CET), following a referendum. Nearly all the islands 27,000 residents voted, with more than 72% opposed to the change. The move came as backers say the island has more in common with its French neighbours. They also believe the move would benefit the tourism industry, as more available hours would attract sightseers. However, Jersey Finance Limited said it would mean longer hours in the office for workers and would damage the economy putting the island out of step with London.
