The tower on fire

The death toll in the blaze that engulfed a residential tower in west London early on Wednesday has risen to 12 and “will rise further,” Metropolitan Police Commander Stuart Cundy said.

Emergency services are continuing a “long and complex operation’’ in the building, and the “incredibly challenging’’ task of confirming how many people are missing.

“It is very, very challenging to put a number on those unaccounted for,’’ Cundy told reporters.

More than 200 firefighters battled the inferno, which officials called an “unprecedented incident.”

Smoke billows from a tower block severely damaged by a serious fire in north Kensington, West London.

Witnesses reported seeing residents throwing babies and small children from high windows to people on the sidewalk in a desperate effort to save them from the flames. (dpa/NAN)

Animal lovers streaked unclad through London Zoo on a sponsored run to help save tigers from extinction. Many of those who took part stri*ped off everything and painted themselves in tiger stripes before jogging among the caged animals. The annual event in question was the Zoological Society for London’s (ZSL) Streak for Tigers – which raises money to help protect tigers and their habitats around the world. Tigers are classed as an endangered species with global populations on the decrease due to poaching and the increasing destruction of their natural habitats. It’s believed that there are now less than 6,000 wild tigers left worldwide. The event began at 7pm and the so-called Tiger Streakers – because a group of tigers is called a streak – were encouraged to let go of all their inhibitions and go completely unclad for a whole five to ten minutes. At the end of their run they were handed a foil blanket and to protect their modesty. Each runner pa...

A Nigerian-American basketball player has caused serious buzz on the internet after posing completely n*ked for a Magazine. Nneka Ogwumike is a Nigerian American basketball player who plays forward for the Los Angeles Sparks. The young woman caused a stir recently when she posed n*de for ESPN. Ogwumike will be one of 23 athletes to grace ESPN The Magazine’s annual Body Issue and one of its nine cover stars. “It’s always been something that I wanted to do,”  Ogwumike said.  “I think it’s mostly because of the elite collection of athletes that they pick. It attributes to your success individually because they don’t just pick anybody.” But this wasn’t the first time that ESPN called the Texas native.
