UK: Squatting set to become a criminal offence Squatting in a residential building in England and Wales becomes a criminal offence on Saturday, meaning squatters would face jail or a fine. Ministers said it would offer better protection for homeowners and "slam shut the door on squatters once and for all". The maximum penalty will be six months in jail, a £5,000 fine, or both. But campaigners warned the new law could criminalise vulnerable people and lead to an increase in rough sleeping. Currently squatting is treated as a civil matter and homeowners - including councils and housing associations - have to go to a civil court to prove the squatters have trespa…

The storm, which swept through town on the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, seemed unlikely to usher in a repeat of that disaster. But it caused an 11ft surge in sea levels around coastal areas, and breached levees in Plaquemines Parish, on the south-eastern outskirts of town. Initial damage appeared to be centred on Braithwaite, a town of ne…

I was trying to write to one of my friends on Facebook and then suddenly it logged me out and when I tried to log back in it said I needed to put in some phone number. Now I tried to get past this but it's no use. You have to enter it. I, first off, don't want them calling me, and second off, only have 1 phone number in my house, and it clearly specifies you can only use a number once. I don't really want to put the number in cause if I do when/if this happens to anyone else in my house they won't have a number to use. I do have an iPad and read online some apple products have numbers or something you can use? Even I'd this is the case I don't know how to access sai…

The move may also be designed to win over users of Google's rival Gmail service. Microsoft said that in many cases email had become a "chore" because its users accounts had become "overloaded" with ma…
