British tourist who ignored warnings fined £12,000 after rescue in Italy
The 60-yer-old man attempted to traverse the the Via Ferrata Berti near San Vito di Cadore in northeast Italy, despite warnings from authorities about this mountain path A British man has been fined more than £12,000 after failing to heed signs a mountain path was closed in Italy due to landslides. The 60-year-old Brit called the alpine rescue service to inform officials rocks were falling from above as he attempted to traverse the Via Ferrata Berti, a mountain path partially supported by metal ropes and stairs. A helicopter was deployed from nearby San Vito di Cadore in northeast Italy to rescue the tourist, who has not been named. The man, who was not injured, had reached an altitude of 2,400 metres and was "right in the middle of the landslide" when he was freed on Thursday afternoon. The rescue comes following a warning to Brit tourists who are planning all-inclusive holidays to Spain. Nicola Cherubin, head of the rescue service, said the man had told her team he did not see the warning signs. He has since been charged €14,225 (£12,300), with €11,160 of that covering the helicopter rescue, according to The Guardian. "Rocks have been falling continually in that area for the past two months. With these landslides, it is not secure. He was really afraid," Ms Cherubin told the Daily Telegraph. Signs in English on the trail said the route was closed "due to risk of collapse" and ordered people not to "go beyond this warning". The rescue service said the Ferrata Berti was closed because of "continuous rock discharge from the Croda Marcora landslide". But in July, two Belgian hikers were rescued from the same trail. They, though, have not been charged the same fee from the volunteer rescue service because Belgium is part of the European Union. The UK formally left this on January 31, 2020, following the Brexit vote several years prior - and now half of Brits want another referendum, a survey says. The mountain rescue service told The Times the British man was charged by the regional health service of Veneto. A spokesman said: "If someone calls because they are tired or stuck because they find themselves in a place where they shouldn't be, or if they are unharmed with no health issue, they have to pay. If you are from outside the EU without insurance, you have to pay more." It is unclear where exactly in the UK the tourist is from. Rescuers told the hiker to stay put while they attempted to navigate cloud cover. One helicopter was dispatched before it was called elsewhere. Another arrived two hours after the hiker's call, it is reported today.

Storm Floris: Travellers warned to expect more disruption
Why you can trust Sky News Travellers have been warned to expect disruption to trains in Scotland today as the country continues to feel the effects of Storm Floris. Services are likely to be affected as the storm - which brought winds of up to 124mph on Monday, bringing down trees and power lines, closing roads and cancelling flights - blows through. Storm Floris as it happened The Scottish government held an emergency meeting last night to discuss the "significant disruption" caused and the efforts under way to recover, as rail operators look to clear routes covered by debris and utilities firms work to reconnect properties experiencing power outages. Ross Moran, Network Rail Scotland's route director, said teams had been "working tirelessly to keep services moving where possible and to clear fallen trees and debris from the tracks". By the evening, their focus had switched to "inspecting routes which have been closed by fallen trees, debris and other damage", and work will continue into today. "We're grateful to passengers for their patience whilst we do this," Mr Moran added. Most weather warnings have expired, but a yellow warning for wind is in place until 8am over the Shetland Islands and Orkney, and showers will remain throughout the rest of Scotland. Rail, road, and ferry travel was disrupted by the storm on Monday, as 100 Edinburgh Fringe events were cancelled, according to organisers. At one point, more than 30,000 people were without power. At least 68 flights were cancelled, aviation analytics firm Cirium said, with Aberdeen and Belfast City the worst-affected airports. Western coastal areas bore the brunt of the storm, but strong winds and heavy rain affected much of the rest of the country. Police received "multiple reports" of camper vans blown over on the A87 between Broadford and Portree on Skye, while in Aberdeenshire the A96 was closed in both directions near Old Rayne because of fallen trees. Fallen trees have also seen a number of other roads closed, including the A95 Rosarie road in both directions, while the A9 at Daviot was partially blocked by a fallen tree and the A1 Tyne Bridge was only open to cars and single-decker buses. 0:47 Those driving in poor weather have been urged to avoid the worst-hit areas and slow down when on the roads while allowing time for delays. Ferries have also seen widespread disruption, with ferry operator CalMac cancelling a number of sailings because of high winds. Monday's top wind speed was 124mph at Cairngorm, a mountain range in northern Scotland, according to Met Office data.

Scottish Government holds emergency meeting over Storm Floris disruption
During the meeting, ministers heard that utilities companies are working to reconnect properties experiencing power outages. The meeting was attended by justice and home affairs secretary Angela Constance, transport secretary Fiona Hyslop, cabinet secretary for health and social care Neil Gray and climate action and energy secretary Gillian Martin. They were joined by representatives from the Met Office, Police Scotland, Transport Scotland, SEPA, transport and utilities companies and further resilience partners. The Transport Scotland Resilience Room and the Multi-Agency Response Team remain activated to monitor and report on conditions throughout the duration of the storm. Trunk road companies are continuing to remove fallen trees and debris from damaged infrastructure from roads, and have engaged specialist resources to assist. The Scottish Government said there have been 119 incidents on the rail network caused by Storm Floris, including 75 tree-related incidents. Of those, 85% were due to third party trees. With winds of up to 90mph in some parts of the country, a significant clear-up job will be required to inspect lines and carry out repair work before it is safe to restore a full service. ScotRail is urging customers to check their journey via the app, website or JourneyCheck before they travel. The train operator will also provide updates across social media channels throughout the night. Following the meeting, Ms Constance said: 'As expected, there has been significant disruption, particularly across the travel networks. 'We are still in an amber warning, and the advice remains to stay well informed, keep yourselves and others safe and avoid travel if you can, until the danger has passed. 'Power cuts are affecting a significant number of properties, and while utilities companies are working hard to reconnect supply in the face of challenging conditions, this will undoubtedly take some time to complete. 'The weather is expected to improve tomorrow, but the recovery period – both to reconnect homes to power and get transport back to normal – will require some time to clear the debris. 'We will continue to receive updates throughout Tuesday and will have a better idea on public transport tomorrow morning.' On X, Network Rail said it has 'worked closely with all train operators' to co-ordinate the railway's response to the storm. The railway operator added: 'We've been working around the clock to keep services moving today. 'Our teams will continue inspecting routes for #StormFloris damage overnight, but this will continue into Tuesday morning.' We've been working around the clock to keep services moving today. Our teams will continue inspecting routes for #StormFloris damage overnight, but this will continue into Tuesday morning. Please check your journey before you leave the house tomorrow at — Network Rail Scotland (@NetworkRailSCOT) August 4, 2025 Network Rail previously said it is working 'tirelessly' to clear routes blocked by falling trees and debris, and that disruption was likely to continue into Tuesday. However, some checks will need to be carried out on Tuesday morning. Rail, road and ferry travel were disrupted and festival events cancelled as Storm Floris swept across Scotland, bringing with it heavy rain and strong gusts. Disruption on the railways has left passengers facing multiple cancellations, while a number of roads around the country have been blocked. Western coastal areas are bearing the brunt of the summer storm but strong winds and heavy rain are affecting much of the rest of the country. We have received reports of campervans being blown over on the A87 between Broadford and Portree due to high winds caused by Storm Floris. We are advising motorists not to travel on the Bealach na Ba. Campervans should remain parked in sheltered areas until wind speed reduces. — Police Scotland Highland & Islands (@PSOSHighland) August 4, 2025 As of 11.30pm on Monday, a yellow weather warning from the Met Office was in place in Scotland until 8am on Tuesday. Police previously said they had received 'multiple reports' of campervans being blown over on the A87 between Broadford and Portree on Skye, while in Aberdeenshire the A96 is closed in both directions near Old Rayne because of several fallen trees.
