Briton repatriated to UK from fire-ravaged Greece says he slept on ‘office floor’ of hotel
A passenger recalled his evacuation from Rhodes after arriving back at Gatwick Airport. Up to 10,000 Britons are estimated to be on the fire-ravaged Greek island, with repatriation flights to rescue holidaymakers landing back in the UK. Dominic Doggett explained how he “stayed on the office floor” of a hotel, before driving through the night to find other accommodation. “It was a very unique situation, but luckily we had a hire car there so we were able to drive away,” he explained.

Special counsel Jack Smith stared at Trump throughout historic court appearance, report says
Special Counsel Jack Smith reportedly stared down former President Donald Trump throughout the entirety of Mr Trump’s arraignment in Miami on Tuesday. Hugo Lowell of The Guardian reported that Mr Smith sat in the front row during Mr Trump’s arraignment on federal charges related to his handling of classified documents after leaving the White House in 2021 and “stared towards the former president for essentially the entire appearance.” Mr Smith was appointed to oversee the Department of Justice’s investigation into Mr Trump’s handling of classified documents and his attempts to overturn the reuslt of the 2020 presidential election. Already, he has led an historic investigation: Mr Trump last week became the first former president ever indicted on federal charges just months after he became the first former president ever to be indicted at all when he was charged in New York over his alleged role in the payment of hush money to adult film star Stormy Daniels. Mr Trump is facing 37 felony counts in connection to his handling of the documents and his alleged efforts to impede the government’s efforts to reacquire them. “Adherence to the rule of law is a bedrock principle of the Department of Justice and our nation’s commitment to the rule of law sets an example for the world,” Mr Smith told reporters at a press conference last Friday. “We have one set of laws in this country and they apply to everyone.” This story will be updated.
