    Grenfell Tower fire inquiry blames deaths on incompetence and greed
    https://www.reuters.com/world/uk/grenfell-tower-report-detail-what-led-deadly-2017-london-blaze-2024-09-03/
    It was Britain's deadliest blaze in a residential building since World War Two. "The simple truth is that the deaths that occurred were all avoidable," said inquiry chair Martin Moore-Bick. In its long-awaited final report, the inquiry laid most responsibility for the disaster on the companies involved in the maintenance and refit of the apartment tower, failings by local and national authorities as well as companies which had dishonestly marketed combustible cladding materials as safe. There was also widespread criticism and blame levelled at the then-government, the local authority of Kensington and Chelsea, the industry, regulatory groups, specific individuals and an ill-prepared fire brigade for years of inaction over fire safety in high-rise blocks. "Not all of them bear the same degree of responsibility for the eventual disaster, but as our reports show, all contributed to it in one way or another, in most cases, through incompetence, but in some cases, through dishonesty and greed," Moore-Bick said. The inquiry report, which ran to almost 1,700 pages, said the inferno was the culmination of "decades of failure", with profits put before people.

    Beluga whale alleged to be Russian ‘spy’ found dead in Norway
    https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/sep/01/beluga-whale-hvaldimir-found-dead-norway
    Marine Mind said on its site that Hvaldimir was very interested in people and responded to hand signals. “Based on these observations, it appeared as if Hvaldimir arrived in Norway by crossing over from Russian waters, where it is presumed he was held in captivity,” it said. Because of this behaviour, Norwegian media have also speculated that Hvaldimir may have been used as “a therapy whale” of some sort in Russia.
