NAILBOMB killer David Copeland has converted to Islam in the hope of “getting a second chance”. The 44-year-old was jailed for a 13-day hate campaign in 1999 that left three people dead and 140 injured. Engineer Copeland, who had Nazi flags hanging in his home, wanted to “stir up a racial war” with homemade explosives targeting London’s black , Bengali and LGBT communities. But he now hopes he will be “re-born in a different body after death”. He has told inmates at high- security HMP Frankland in Durham to call him “Saddam” — in admiration of the Iraqi dictator. He was befriended inside by Andy Ross, since freed after serving 11½ years for armed robbery. The Sunderland-born bare-knuckle boxer, 37, said: “Copeland prays every day and sees practising as a Muslim as a way of getting forgiveness and changing.

The wooden spire of Notre-Dame cathedral is being re-built using centuries-old oak trees felled from a former royal forest - almost two years after it was destroyed in a fire. The lead-coated spire, which for more than 150 years had defined the central Paris skyline, was consumed by the blaze in April 2019, collapsing through the stone-vaulted roof to the tears and gasps of distraught onlookers. President Emmanuel Macron announced last summer the 96-metre (315ft) spire would be reconstructed as originally designed by Eugene Viollet-le-Duc in the 19th century, and the hunt for the 1,000 oaks required to build the spire and the frame of the cathedral's transept began. At the beginning of this year, the perfect trees were identified in Domaine de Berce, near Le Mans. They must all be chopped down before the end of March before the sap rises and the wood contains too much moisture. Aymeric Albert, the French forestry commission's commercial director, described the … [Read more...] about Notre-Dame fire: Cathedral’s spire to be rebuilt with 200-year-old oaks from royal forest

"It is a great pleasure for me to announce Samantha's coming space mission," said Josef Aschbacher, the new director general of the European Space Agency (ESA), as he opened a press conference on March 3. ESA astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti is scheduled to go back to the International Space Station (ISS) for her second stay in the spring of 2022, following her two colleagues Thomas Pesquet and Matthias Maurer, who will set off for the ISS in April and October 2021 respectively. Cristoforetti herself is delighted. "Not surprisingly, it was a feeling of extreme joy and gratefulness for this opportunity. As I've mentioned before, I had the amazing opportunity the past few years to grow as an astronaut. But we have this tendency of wanting to go back to space as soon as possible," she admitted.
