      Britain can avoid sleepwalking into a US-style synthetic opioids crisis. Here’s how | Niko Vorobyov

    There are better ways of tackling addiction and overdoses than reverting to the tactics of a failed drugs war

    Last week the home secretary, James Cleverly, announced that nitazenes are now being treated as class A drugs, his statement bookended with the usual stern rhetoric about the need to keep “these vile drugs off our streets”. The maximum penalty for selling or supplying class As is life imprisonment.

    Cleverly’s decision follows the discovery that several victims of deadly drug poisonings had nitazenes in their system. Nitazenes are synthetic opioids, meaning they are similar to the heroin and morphine refined from opium poppies but made entirely in a lab. First developed as painkillers in the 1950s but never approved for medical use, they have been found mixed into heroin to give the low-grade variety of the drug that extra kick, as well as in bootleg Xanax and Valium pills sold on the dark web. Up to 500 times stronger than morphine, even a tiny amount can prove fatal.

    Baby murdered by his parents after ‘inadequate safeguarding’ by social services in Derbyshire, says report

    A 10-month-old baby, who was killed by his parents just 39 days after a court returned him to their care, “should have been one of the most protected children in the local authority area”, a review has concluded.

    Finley Boden died on Christmas Day 2020 after a period of “inadequate safeguarding” by authorities, who initially removed him from the care of his parents, Shannon Marsden and Stephen Boden, immediately after birth due to concerns for his safety.

    • Le monde en face Fraude alimentaire : un crime organisé ?

      Toute l'alimentation peut être falsifiée. Plus discrets qu'un cartel de drogue, plus insaisissables que des trafiquants d'armes, des criminels ont fait main basse sur la nourriture. Huile d'olive, poisson, viande, épices, aucun rayon n'échappe à leur juteux trafic. Un pactole estimé en Europe à 30 milliards d'euros enrichit chaque année une mafia d'un genre nouveau. Le crime organisé écoule des produits altérés dans les restaurants, les supermarchés, et tous les commerces de bouche de l'Union européenne.

    A coded message sent by a brutal serial killer who has never been caught has been cracked more than 51 years after it was sent.

    The male suspect, known as the Zodiac Killer, killed at least five people and attempted to kill at least two more in Northern California in 1968 and 1969. In the first three attacks, he targeted couples. The first victims were high school students who were parked in a car on their first date. In attacks on the other two couples, he managed to kill the women, but the men survived. A male San Francisco cab driver was the last known victim.

    During the murder spree, the Zodiac Killer sent media outlets a series of letters taking credit for the slayings. To prove the authenticity of the claims, the letters included unreleased details and evidence from the crime scenes.

    A potential hostage situation is reportedly taking place at the building in which game developer Ubisoft's Montreal office is housed.

    Canadian media began reporting a major police operation outside the Ubisoft Montreal headquarters around 1:30pm Eastern time. Montreal police confirmed that there is an "ongoing police operation" at the intersection where Ubisoft Montreal sits, adding, "We ask people to avoid the area. The SVPM is currently validating information and more details will follow."

    Live-streamed footage from French-language outlet LCN showed a group of people together on the roof deck of the building behind a makeshift barricade seemingly constructed of folding tables leaning against the access door. Developer Eric Pope confirmed in a Tweet that the individuals on the roof were indeed Ubisoft employees, saying, "This is insane. This is my team on the roof."
