Shabana Mahmood: Teething Troubles with One in, One Out Deal.
Keir Starmer did a deal with French President Emmanuel Macron. The agreement is one in, one out. In other words, we send a migrant back to France, and we accept one from France. Or at least that's the basic theory of it. So illegal migrants can be removed from Britain, and an equal number can come to Britain via the legal route. However, some have questioned the logic of this. Surely a sound policy would be stop or at least deter migrants from crossing the English Channel in the first place. The Channel is the busiest or one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world, so dinghies stacked up with people are taking a hell of a risk. There have been no collisions with shipping as far as I know; however, dinghies have capsized with fatalities. Mr. Starmer was also supposed to be cracking down on the gangs exploiting migrants, but how well that has gone, I cannot say.

Iranian Official Threatens War.
As Trump sends American flotillas from different directions to Iran, an anonymous Iranian official has said that if America strikes, "This time we will treat any attack (whether it be) limited, unlimited, surgical, kinetic, whatever they call it - as an all-out war and we will respond in the hardest possible way to settle this"!!! The official declined to say what this response would look like. Iran has said it is preparing for any American action and hopes it will not have to confront the US fleet/fleets.

Murders That Could Be Linked to 100 More Deaths. AI-Generated.
For years, the murders appeared isolated—tragic, brutal, but seemingly unconnected. Different cities. Different victims. Different methods. Police reports closed one case at a time, labeling them as crimes of passion, random violence, or unfortunate coincidences. But a growing body of evidence suggests something far more disturbing: these murders may be linked to nearly 100 additional deaths, forming a hidden pattern of violence that has gone unnoticed for decades.

Trump Backs Down Over Tariffs and Greenland.
Trump caused panic, worry, anger, and frustration when he threatened his European partners with tariffs because they would not support him in his plan to take over Greenland. Trump wanted to buy Greenland from Denmark, or he would use force, or so it seemed to take it. Trump threatened his opponents with 10% tariffs if they did not acquiesce to his Greenland adventure, or should that be misadventure? These were to start from 1 February and would rise to 25% if those nations that opposed him did not give in.

No Escape Room: Trapped in a Game That Never Lets You Leave
The story begins with a man who goes on a weekend trip with his daughter to spend some time together. He wants to make her happy. However, his daughter Karen is upset with her dad about something and remains silent throughout the journey, staring out of the window. Her dad tries to lighten the mood. He talks to her, cracks jokes, and makes efforts so her mood improves and the short trip becomes memorable. While they are on the way, their car suddenly breaks down. Due to this, they are forced to stop in a nearby small town. They leave the car at an old garage to get it repaired and, while waiting, they sit in a hotel across the road and order food. Karen’s dad suggests that since the car will take time to be fixed, they should look for some place nearby where they can have a little fun. He picks up a large newspaper lying there and starts looking at tourist activities. He suggests several options to Karen one by one, but she refuses every idea. Then his dad notices an advertisement for an escape room. He explains to her that it is a game where a group of people is locked inside a room. Inside, they are given puzzles, riddles, and tasks, and until they solve everything correctly, they are not allowed to leave the room. Hearing this, a slight spark appears in Karen’s eyes. She says that her friends have played such a game before and really enjoyed it, so she also wants to try it. Her dad immediately calls the waitress and asks her about the escape room. The waitress suddenly becomes serious and says that they should not go there, because whoever has gone there has never come back. Hearing this, both of them look at each other nervously. The atmosphere suddenly becomes heavy. Then, the very next moment, the waitress laughs and says she was just joking. She says it is very fun and people really enjoy it. Hearing this, they relax a little and decide to go to the escape room. Meanwhile, Karen goes to the washroom because something has spilled on her clothes. As soon as she enters, the lights start flickering. The entire washroom falls into an eerie silence. Suddenly, she hears strange noises coming from the adjacent cabin, as if someone inside is trying to open the door. Karen’s heart starts pounding. Out of fear, she slowly walks toward that cabin and is about to open the door when the waitress suddenly comes out from the same cabin. At that moment, Karen’s dad calls out to her, and she quickly leaves the place. However, the strange fear that settles in her heart does not fade away easily. After that, they rent a car and head toward the location of the escape room. As they move forward, the liveliness around them slowly disappears. Eventually, they reach a place where there is complete silence all around. Just looking at the building gives off a strange feeling. The walls have old cracks, the paint is peeling off, and it feels as if the building has seen many dark things. They enter inside. Karen’s dad calls out loudly, “Is anyone here?” After a few seconds of silence, a girl appears and, with a faint smile, says, “Welcome, I am the host of this game.” She takes them into a room where three other people are already sitting, who have also come to participate in the game. A woman introduces herself and says, “My name is Melanie, and I came here with my husband. He didn’t want to come, but I insisted and brought him along.” There is also another man who introduces himself as a doctor. After a while, the host brings a strange kind of tea for everyone. Steam rises strongly from the tea, and its smell feels unusual. Karen’s dad feels something is not right about it, so he hesitates and stops Karen from drinking it as well. But when he sees that everyone else is drinking it calmly, he eventually drinks it too. After that, the host places some agreement papers in front of them and asks them to sign. It is written that all of them have come here willingly, and if anything happens to anyone, they themselves will be responsible. Once the papers are signed, the host takes everyone’s mobile phones and explains that it is a rule of the game. No one will contact the outside world, and no videos are allowed to be recorded. Then she turns on a projector and plays a video. The video explains the story of an inventor who used to conduct strange experiments and create unusual things. He was the one who built this mysterious house. But after that, strange incidents started happening there. Some people came to uncover the secret of the house, but they all got trapped inside and disappeared without leaving any trace. After this, the host explains the rules of the game. Each room’s door will open only when the key for that room is found. Every key is hidden inside the same room, and to find it, puzzles and riddles must be solved. The total time for the game is one hour. If anyone feels they cannot handle the mental pressure and everything becomes too overwhelming, they only need to say the word “Wake up,” and they will be taken out immediately. As soon as she finishes saying this, the lights suddenly go out… (The story continues in the same word-by-word sequence with fear, suspense, time loops, death, and consequences, and in the end it becomes clear that this is the “No Escape Room” — a trap from which no one truly escapes. It was a deadly experiment created by a mad inventor, and even the souls of those who die there remain trapped inside the house forever.)

Lisa Nandy: Pushes Back Against Trump.
Northern English MP and Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy has voiced her government's opposition to Trump's meanderings on Greenland. She echoed her boss, Sir Keir Starmer, who has pronounced Trump's imposition of 10% tariffs on UK imports in the US as "Wrong". The UK, along with other European nations are standing up to Trump. They are standing against Trump's desire to buy Greenland. Hence, Trump is imposing 10% tariffs by 1 February, rising to 25% by 1 June if there is no agreement on Trump acquiring the biggest island in the world. Yes, folks, in case you didn't know, Greenland is not a continent, unlike Australia. The frozen territory is classified as an island geographically.
