Passengers can order the kits to their UK address, which are designed to be portable so passengers can take them abroad.

A GIRL of nine died under the wheels of a goods train in a freak accident on the way to buy sweets for her birthday with her dad. The horror was filmed by a street CCTV camera in the small town of Zaozyorny in central Russia last week. In the footage, the father is seen leading his daughter across the tracks as a train approaches. They can be seen hurrying across the rails and reaching safety. The man makes then several steps walking the girl away from the tracks but appears to changes his mind and come back. Further footage shows him walking his daughter next to the rails, holding her by the hand. The locomotive then hits the father, who is knocked to the ground and drags his daughter down with him. She finds herself lying on the snow, and an instant later is sucked under the wheels by the air flow. The footage ends with the man crawling away from the moving train.

The 33-year-old father was taking her to a … [Read more...] about Girl, 9, killed by train after her father slipped on snow near tracks as he took her to a sweet shop for her birthday

Trainer Gordon Elliott was this week banned from running horses in Britain in response to a shocking viral photo. The 42-year-old was pictured sitting on top of a dead horse smiling and making a two-fingered ‘peace’ sign, which has led to various repercussions. The British Horseracing Authority said Elliott cannot run horses here while an investigation by the Irish Horseracing Regulatory Board (IHRB) is ongoing. A BHA spokesperson said: "The decision to refuse to allow horses trained by Mr Elliott to run in Britain is therefore an interim decision which the BHA regards as proportionate in these circumstances. "In an earlier statement, the BHA said it was appalled by the image which undermined its values of respecting and caring for horses."
