Bills will rise next year, says struggling Thames Water

The head of Thames Water has said customers should expect their bills to go up next year as the struggling supplier upgrades its ageing infrastructure.

Joint-interim CEO Cathryn Ross made the warning as she faced MPs at an Environment Food and Rural Affairs Committee meeting on Wednesday.

It comes as the UK's biggest water company - serving 15 million people in London and South East England - is fighting for its future amid a £14 billion mountain of debt, while facing higher interest rates due to inflation.

Asylum seeker sentenced to life for revenge terror killing

A Moroccan asylum seeker has been sentenced to life in jail for murder, with a minimum term of 45 years, at Teesside Crown Court. In October last year, 45-year-old Ahmed Alid stabbed Iranian Christian convert Javed Nouri at the house he was sharing with other asylum seekers before looking for more victims in Hartlepool town centre. He then stabbed and killed 70-year-old Terence Carney who was out for his regular early morning walk. Alid told police he had committed his crimes out of “revenge” for Israel killing children in the Palestinian conflict. Report by Jonesia.
