I didn't even see him coming well, I wouldn't have, as he came up from behind me. I had walked in his path, he barked at me. What path? I thought, baffled, as I took in the huge expanse of empty pavement around us. I was so stupefied by the encounter that I found myself frozen to the spot, watching him walk away in his blue anorak and technical rucksack.
A massive landslip has dramatically reshaped a section of the Jurassic Coast, weeks after a significant 300ft crack emerged in the cliff face. Thousands of tonnes of rock and mud have collapsed onto Charmouth beach in Dorset, obliterating a chunk of the popular South West Coastal Path England's most-visited National Trail. A 30ft wide section of the 450ft tall cliff has detached from the mainland, now resting approximately 20ft lower than its original position.
Shortly after being elected, Barbara Lee unveiled a 10-point plan for getting Oakland back on track. Point number three was to establish public-private partnerships to "improve Oakland's economy and increase public safety," and point number seven was to "generate entrepreneurial and philanthropic investment in Oakland."

"This legislation is a necessary step toward bringing these drug markets under control and restoring livability to Mid-Market and SOMA," Leah Edwards, a District 6 resident, wrote in a letter of support. A separate independent study published in November 2025 also found a 56% reduction in drug-related incidents during the curfew hours over nine months.

[Illegal ebikes] are a total menace on the road, the health minister, Mark Butler, said on Friday. Kids have done stupid things on bikes ever since the penny-farthing [but] the injuries that are coming into our hospital emergency departments are absolutely devastating. We've got to make sure we stop these things coming into the country [and] police are given the powers to crack down, to take them away, to crush them, to destroy them.
It is an act that has shocked Germany: a Deutsche Bahn employee checked the ticket of a man traveling alone on a regional train, who turned out not to have a valid ticket. When the train conductor asked him to leave the train at the next stop, he was attacked and punched repeatedly. The train conductor lost consciousness, had to be resuscitated, and died a day later in a hospital from a brain hemorrhage as a result of blunt force trauma.
Most businesses contribute positively to our neighborhoods, but a handful of late-night retail establishments, like the ones we have shut down, attract significant criminal activity. The nighttime safety ordinance has been helpful in putting these stores on our radar and giving us additional tools to shut down problematic businesses. SFPD has been an incredible partner in this work to eradicate drug activity and protect our communities.

San Jose restaurateur David Mulvehill is one of Mayor Matt Mahan's biggest fans, crediting him with doing more by a long shot to corral crime, homelessness and blight and make his staff and customers all feel safer than he's seen in decades.

First, I want to thank the thousands of city workers who have gone above and beyond to lift snow off of our streets and to look after those most at risk in a moment like this, and yet we know that there is clearly so much more to be done as we maintain our efforts to clear crosswalks and bus stops to melt snow, and above all, to protect New Yorkers who are most at risk from this historic and dangerous cold,
