James Martin rages at lawless London as yob smashes his car window after friends were mugged or had cars stolen in last two weeks
Celebrity chef James Martin has raged at 'lawless London ' after yobs smashed the rear windscreen of his car in broad daylight. Martin, who hosts James Martin's Saturday Morning on ITV every week, took to Instagram to hit out at crime rates in the capital after he and several friends were all targeted in the space of a week. He said two friends had had their cars stolen and another was mugged. He wrote: 'So in a week two of my friends cars got stolen, one other mate got mugged and now I had this happen all in broad daylight all in central London. 'London is broken big time… next time I'm bringing the Malis.' Martin was referring to his two pet dogs, who are Belgian Malinoises. He previously gushed about his beloved animals in a post in 2022, when he said: 'I have to say I have had dogs all my life but these two are unbelievably clever. Thanks to the trainer for doing all the work.' It comes as Labour announced new plans this week to free up spaces in the UK's overcrowded prisons. Martin's claim that London is 'broken' is a familiar call for many activists in the capital, who have decried the scourges of theft, shoplifting and knife crime - among other offences - which frequently blight the capital's streets. Earlier this month, campaigners called for mandatory five-year sentences for adults caught carrying blades on the street, and three years for youths. County lines drugs gangs and rival cartels are warring in city streets while youngsters in towns are carrying knives into school and slaughtering children in parks. Norman Brennan, a former police officer and director of the Law and Order Foundation - which campaigns for victims - said the 'tsunami' of bloodshed washing over Britain had now reached apocalyptic levels. Mr Brennan - who was almost stabbed to death tackling a burglar during his time as a London cop - has teamed up with publican influencer Adam Brooks, whose father was murdered by a machete gang, to call for tougher sentences. 'This is a national crisis. It is an emergency like I've never seen. We are heading to the abyss,' he said. 'We have slipped into a tide of anarchy. There's no police on the streets. The public don't feel safe. Criminals walk around now feeling untouchable. 'I predicted this knife crime epidemic 20 years ago. I've been warning governments of all political colours of the perfect storm that was coming - and now it's here. It's a tsunami... it's a tide of bloodshed.' The pair have launched a petition calling for change. In a matter of days, more than 32,000 people signed it. It needs 100,000 to be debated in parliament. But the idea is unlikely to gain traction in government due to the major problem of prison overcrowding and a lack of spaces. This week Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood took to the Commons to announce new plans to tackle the issue, including letting some criminals out on the streets after serving just a third of their sentence. Other suggestions to free up spaces involve avoiding sending people to prison if they would have received a sentence under 12 months and chemically castrating sex offenders. It followed a report by former Conservative Justice Secretary David Gauke, who made a series of recommendations ton free up 9,800 jail spaces by 2028.

Video shows 'lavanado' erupt at Hawaii's Kilauea volcano: 'Biggest one I've seen'
Video shows 'lavanado' erupt at Hawaii's Kilauea volcano: 'Biggest one I've seen' Show Caption Hide Caption Watch: 'Lavanado' form at Hawaii's Kilauea Volcano Kilauea Volcano on Hawaii's Big Island is erupting again. One man captured lava spinning into the air, calling it 'lavanado.' As the Kilauea volcano in Hawaii erupted again last week, lava was captured spinning into the air like a dust devil, creating a "lavanado." Stunning video footage captured by Scott Malis on Feb. 26 during the volcano's 11th episode shows lava spewing out of the volcano and spinning into the air, creating what Malis said was a "lavanado." Malis told USA TODAY the rare occurrence took place around 4 a.m. and lasted for about five minutes. "The heat from the from the lava mixes with the cool air on the mountain and (creates) a tornado like action, like the funnel cloud," Malis said. What is a lavanado? The U.S. Geological Survey describes lavanado as a wind vortex within the caldera, a large depression formed by the collapse of a volcano's central part after an eruption. The video of the lavanado was captured during episode 11 of the ongoing summit eruption at Kilauea, which began on Feb. 25 around 6:22 p.m. local time and ended the next morning around 7:06 a.m. local time, according to the Hawaii Volcano Observatory. The observatory said fountains of the eruptions reached peak heights of around 600 feet. Malis, who has lived on the island for more than 15 years, said he visits the national park to see volcanic activity "all the time," and witnessed seven of the 12 episodes of the ongoing summit eruption. However, episode 11 was "definitely by far the biggest one I've seen," Malis said, adding it was immensely fascinating. "Number 11 was my favorite one yet," Malis said. "It's very rare to see one that defined." Malis said he has previously seen a "really small version of a tornado" over a lava but "never saw one that made the funnel cloud all the way up to the sky." When did the Kilauea volcano start erupting? Located on Hawaii's Big Island, the Kilauea volcano began erupting in the early hours of Dec. 23, 2024, with pauses in between. It completed its 12th episode Tuesday morning, after 22 hours of continuous, eruptive activity, the volcano observatory said. Kilauea sits along the southeastern shore of the Island of Hawaii within the Volcanoes National Park, which includes the summits of two of the world's most active volcanoes, Kilauea and Mauna Loa, and is a popular tourist destination.

Watch: 'Lavanado' forms during Hawaii's Kilauea volcano's recent explosive eruption
HAWAII VOLCANOES NATIONAL PARK – A stunning video recorded during a recent eruptive episode of Hawaii's Kilauea volcano shows the moment hot gasses and lava swirl into the air, forming what is being described as a "lavanado." Scott Malis caught the dramatic display on video on Feb. 26, during the 11th eruptive episode of Kilauea's ongoing eruption that began in December. How To Watch Fox Weather Malis said the lavanado, which looks similar to a dust devil, lasted for about four minutes during the early-morning hours before the episode ended. During that episode, lava was seen shooting nearly 600 feet into the air during the eruption within Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Download The Free Fox Weather App This isn't the first time an event like this has been caught on video. In 2023, a video released by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) showed areas within the volcano where hot, rapidly rising air was grabbing fresh lava and tossing it into the air before moving up the side of the mountain and sucking up dirt and rocks. The most recent eruptive episode that ended on Wednesday, the 12th so far, is part of the active eruption period that began on Dec. 23, 2024. The USGS said each lava fountain episode has lasted about 13 hours and has been separated by pauses in activity for about a day to 12 days between article source: Watch: 'Lavanado' forms during Hawaii's Kilauea volcano's recent explosive eruption
