Fire at former Blackpool club used in Robbie Williams video
Firefighters have been dealing with a blaze at a former working men's club in Blackpool once used in a music video for singer Robbie Williams. Pictures show smoke billowing from the Central Club on Kent Road, which had also been used by criminals to set up a £1m cannabis farm in 2021. Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service said it believed the building was derelict. A spokesman said the service did not believe there were any injuries but had not yet been able to fully access the building to be certain. Eight fire engines attended the scene and used an aerial ladder platform and a water tower to bring the fire under control. The service said a "large smoke plume" had spread in the area and urged people close by who could see or smell the smoke to stay inside and keep windows Police also told people to avoid the area, particularly Seasiders Way, Kent Road and around South Shore. The Central Club featured in Williams' 2005 song Advertising Space and was a popular fixture in the seaside resort's club scene. However it has been closed for a number of years and was listed for sale at £300,000 in 2019. In 2021, Lancashire Police found 1,500 cannabis plants and growing equipment in the building and a man from London was arrested.

Bootle shopkeeper stabbed in front of children say eyewitnesses
A "friendly and hardworking" shopkeeper was stabbed to death in front of children and customers, witnesses to the attack have said. Merseyside Police said the 44-year-old woman died in hospital after the attack inside the Low Cost Food & Wine convenience shop in Bootle, Merseyside, shortly after 17:05 BST on Friday. A 47-year-old man from the Widnes area was arrested near the shop on Stanley Road, and is being questioned on suspicion of murder and possession of a knife. Witnesses described children running out of the shop and screaming for help, while bystanders tried to help the victim, who they said had collapsed by the shop entrance. A police spokesman said a knife was seized at the scene and detectives continue to question the suspect. Det Insp Gavin Mulcahy previously said the attack was being treated as a domestic assault and that no other suspect is being sought by police. Constantin Manzu, 40, who owns C&C Cakes opposite the scene, said he saw the aftermath of the stabbing and sheltered witnesses in his told the BBC: "I heard screaming. There was a bus at the stop in front so I could not make out what it was but when I went outside there was a big group by the door of the shop."I could see them looking at someone lying on the floor, and someone standing there said someone had been stabbed." Mr Manzu said two customers who witnessed the attack stayed in his shop for a short time afterwards as "everyone was in shock".He said: "I can't describe it in words. I just literally burst into tears when I heard and I saw everyone crying and screaming. "The whole situation is horrendous and I think you need to have a very strong heart to support those kind of emotions"Mr Manzu said he and his partner regularly went into the shop and described the victim as "really nice with everyone that stepped in the shop"."All the time she was nice with the kids all around here, she was nice with my kids," he said.

Watchdog opens case into British charity amid concerns funds end up with Hamas
The charities watchdog has opened a compliance case into a British charity over 'serious allegations' that the money it raises for families in Gaza ends up with Hamas. The Charity Commission is examining the way that Save One Life UK distributes the money it collects in the UK. The London-based charity is already being investigated by counter-terror police over claims the cash it distributes for children and their families may end up in the coffers of the banned terror group. The Telegraph revealed earlier this year that concerns have been raised about an alleged lack of control over the way the funds raised are spent. But the Charity Commission, which regulates all charities operating in Britain, has now opened a preliminary investigation – known as a regulatory compliance case – following allegations made about Save One Life UK. A spokesman for the watchdog said: 'We are aware of serious allegations made about Save One Life, which the charity also promptly reported to us. As a result, we have opened a regulatory compliance case to allow us to gather more information. 'As part of this, we have engaged with the charity's trustees and are currently assessing both the charity's activities and the trustees' oversight, particularly in relation to the application of its funds overseas.' The charity has raised more than £5 million in the past five years, with most of its aid directed to Gaza since the start of Israel's military retaliation to the Oct 7 attacks by Hamas in 2023. A complaint about Save One Life UK's activities was submitted to the Metropolitan Police in April, via the Government's online system for reporting material promoting terrorism or extremism. Scotland Yard sources said the complaint was 'passed on to the counter-terrorism internet referral unit for investigation'. Cash for 'those most in need' Save One Life tells potential donors on its website that it is 'working with the Ministry of Social Development in Gaza' (MoSD) to deliver cash to 'those most in need'. Hamas, which governs Gaza and is banned as a terror group by the UK government, has exercised effective control over the MoSD in Gaza for several years. Save One Life has said: 'Beneficiaries are pre-vetted and approved for assistance by the ministry, and the financial assistance is directly distributed, accounted for and audited and is distributed strictly in line with the principles of Zakat [Islamic system of charitable giving].' The Telegraph previously reported that publicity photographs submitted to police appeared to show charity workers handing over envelopes allegedly thought to contain cash to children in Gaza In other footage, one of Save One Life UK's workers describes giving cash to families bombed out of their homes and living in temporary shelters amid the ruins. That has raised the fear that the charity has little control over where the funds it has raised in Britain ultimately end up in an area that is governed by Hamas. 'Unknown broker in Turkey' The complainant told police: 'Save One Life UK is a registered charity that is sending money to Gaza via an unknown broker in Turkey. 'A charity can be investigated if it is suspected of transferring money for non-charitable purposes, including political activity and support of terrorism, which would include allegations that the charity may provide material support for a proscribed terrorist group like Hamas.' Among the charity's trustees is Addeel Khan, the director of equity, inclusion and culture at University College London (UCL) and a former senior executive with the British Red Cross, who is a leading figure in the field of diversity, equity, and inclusion policy. In a live-streamed video posted on Facebook in April 2021, Mr Khan said the charity works with the MoSD to vet beneficiaries. He said: 'They make sure they're vetted and the money is checked, ID is provided, to make sure the right people are receiving it – and there is clear transparency in terms of where the money goes.' Save One Life UK launched an appeal for Gaza just hours after Hamas had carried out its deadly Oct 7 attacks on Israel, which killed more than 1,200 people, the single biggest loss of Jewish life since the Holocaust. Its Gaza Under Attack appeal appeared to come before Israel had launched any significant military response to the Hamas attacks. In one image posed on social media on 10.16am on Oct 7, Save One Life UK stated: 'Our brothers and sisters in Palestine are under attack again.' In another poster, published on the first anniversary of the attacks, and after months of bombardment by Israel on Gaza, Save One Life UK declared: 'Years of resistance. Palestine stands strong: 12 months of brutal violence. Decades of resilient resistance.' 'False allegations' A spokesman for Save One Life said: 'We stand robustly behind our cash aid programme in Gaza to support the innocent civilians of Gaza suffering from the ongoing blockade and violence being committed by Israel. 'Cash aid is provided to Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza by a number of organisations, including the UN and the IFRC. 'We have taken our own steps to notify the required bodies and are working with them transparently to address these false allegations.' The spokesman added: 'At a time when thousands have been killed through starvation and lack of funds to purchase bare essentials, we need the world and specifically the British public and media to support charitable efforts for the innocent victims. 'We always operate in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, we do not work with Hamas or any proscribed terrorist organisation.'
