Police are assessing a number of discarded items in London's Kensington Gardens after a video was shared online in which a group claimed to have targeted the nearby Embassy of Israel with drones carrying dangerous substances.

The Pignatelli Reservoirs were part of a water supply system for over a century, consisting of four large reservoirs that could store up to 80,000 m³ of water.

In that small 30-block zone last year, there were 486 reported crashes, injuring 76 cyclists, 108 pedestrians (one fatally) and 67 motorists, according to city stats. That's more than a crash every day, injuring more than 250 people.

The Old Bridge in Mostar, known locally as Stari Most, was built between 1557 and 1566, its stone arch rising above the Neretva River for more than four centuries. It was destroyed in 1993 during the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, then rebuilt in the early 21st century with international support. Today it stands as a symbol of reconciliation as much as a piece of Ottoman-era architecture.
