Serbia ruling party offices set on fire in protests

Fresh clashes erupted between anti-government protesters and riot police across Serbia in the fifth night of unrest in a row, after offices of the the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) were set on fire. Police in Valjevo reportedly used stun grenades and tear gas on protesters after a small group of masked people attacked the empty facilities of the SNS, setting them on fire. There were widespread allegations of violence and police brutality in the capital, Belgrade, and Novi Sad. Serbia's interior ministry has denied these allegations. It comes as Russia pledged to shore up the beleaguered pro-Moscow President Aleksandar Vučić, who leads the SNS, saying it would not "remain unresponsive". The protests were initially triggered by a railway station collapse in Novi Sad in November last year, with Serbians demanding an early election and the end to President Aleksander Vučić's 12-year reign. While anti-corruption demonstrations have drawn in hundreds of thousands of protestors, they had been largely peaceful until Wednesday's clash, when pro-government loyalists staged counter-demonstrations. On Saturday night, riot police were again deployed in a number of cities including Belgrade as people took part in demonstrations to demand early elections. Offices and flags representing Vučić's SNS party had been a focus of the protesters' anger. Protesters also smashed the windows of the headquarters of the Serbian Radical Party, a coalition partner of the ruling SNS. In the past week, injuries have been reported at protests across the country and unverified video has circulated on social media of police beating a man in Valjevo. Michael O'Flaherty, the Council of Europe's Commissioner for Human Rights, raised concern on Friday over the "police's disproportionate force" in Serbia, urging authorities to "end arbitrary arrests and de-escalate the situation". The man who remade Serbia Vučić responded to Saturday's developments on Instagram, writing that "violence is an expression of total weakness" and promising to "punish the bullies." He has repeatedly rejected calls for early elections and denounced the demonstrations as part of a foreign plot to overthrow him. Russia's Foreign Ministry has offered their support to the pro-Moscow right-wing president. In a statement the ministry said that "we cannot remain unresponsive to what is happening in brotherly Serbia." The statement said that police were "using lawful methods and means to contain the violent mobs" and that "public order, security, and human lives" were at risk. Almost daily protests have gripped Serbia since November, after the collapse of the Novi Sad railway station roof that killed 16 people. The tragedy became a symbol of entrenched corruption in the Balkan country, with initial calls for transparent probes growing into demands for early elections. At their peak, the protests drew hundreds of thousands on to the streets.

Petition launched calling for council to reassess bins for narrow Southend roads

A PETITION has been launched demanding Southend Council reassess narrow streets lined with parked cars before new wheelie bins are brought into use. Southend Council has begun delivering wheelie bins to homes across the borough before they're brought into use in October. But residents, including petition creator Amy Heathcote, fear small streets packed with parked will be unable to cope and collection day could turn into chaos. Her petition, which has more than 200 signatures, is specifically citing a lack of streets across the Westborough ward and Westcliff. Challenging - Amy said fitting bins outside houses with multiple occupants would create further problems (Image: Amy Heathcote) A survey has been completed to check the suitability of roads across the city for the new bins, with Southend Council saying the rollout has received very positive feedback overall. Amy said: "The council have said they have checked the roads for suitability for the bins, but I'm not sure how they could look at a road that has this many parked cars and think a bin lorry will be able to get down it without any problems. "There's also storing the bins, I live on the top floor of my house, but people on the bottom floor wouldn't want four or five bins outside their bedroom window, there just isn't the space. "The letters have gone out to say you can request not to have a bin, but people are already receiving them on this road. "It just seems strange to try and implement something in some areas that it's plain for people who live there to see won't work." Tight - Amy queried how the lorries would be able to navigate dense parking on Southend's narrow streets (Image: Amy Heathcote) Read more 'Loud explosion' heard in south Essex amid reports of sonic boom 'Not many of us left' says 99-year-old Southend veteran ahead of 80th VJ Day 'Fed up' vigilante attacked man with hammer over anti-social behaviour in Basildon Thousands stolen in brazen robbery of South Essex Wildlife Hospital Southend Council said inspections were underway to assess the suitability of roads for wheelie bins, accepting it was a process that there may be teething problems and encouraging residents to contact them if there were problems. Lydia Hyde, Southend Labour councillor for Climate, Environment and Waste said: 'We've carried out a full survey of all properties in Southend to assess whether they have space to store wheelie bins and suitable access to move them to the boundary for waste collection. "This included structural considerations such as steps and steep inclines. 'Where properties were found unsuitable, they will remain on sack or communal collections. Assisted collection services are also available, with waste operatives physically moving bins as part of the service. 'Waste vehicles already operate in narrow streets, and this will continue with wheelie bins. We've also identified more congested areas and are designing collection schedules to avoid peak times. 'We understand we may not get every judgement right as part of the survey, so if you believe your property has been assessed incorrectly, please don't hesitate to request a review via the council website.'
