Isis must not be allowed to create a chemical weapon
French prime minister Manuel Valls has warned that Europe faces the risk of being attacked by terrorists using chemical or biological weapons.
There's a chance that ISIS are developing chemical weapons that could be used against the West
His words are supported by security sources who say that IS has a unit based in its Middle Eastern heartland dedicated to developing such devices.
IS is already thought to have used mustard gas on the battlefield.
And let us not forget that Bashar al-Assad and Saddam Hussein have both used chemical weapons.
In Syria and Iraq there is no shortage of weapons technicians who know how to build these devices and may be willing to share their secrets with the jihadists.
We've already seen the devastating impact of suicide bombers in Europe
The Paris attacks showed us the impact that terrorists carrying assault rifles and wearing suicide vests can have.
A chemical or biological weapon tailored for use in a civilian environment would have the potential to wreak far greater devastation.
Such an event would unite the rest of the world against this awful organisation and finally spur Western leaders into taking serious and concerted action.
Why wait? Britain must, along with other nations, help drive this terrible scourge out of the Middle East and put an end to its chemical weapons programme before it can be used against us.
Junker says that Britain will stay in the EU
President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker has said that Britain will not leave the EU.
Well Jean-Claude, we’re more than capable of deciding that for ourselves, thank you very much.
The referendum is about our future, our identity and our place in the world – not anybody else’s.
Juncker himself is an excellent example of why we should leave.
Jean-Claude Jucker on Britain
His comments perfectly demonstrate the disdain for democracy that underpins the EU project.
And what better example of Brussels’ profligacy than the enormous salary, expenses and perks picked up by this unelected bureaucrat?
During his term the EU has lurched from one disaster to another.
It is no wonder the campaign to leave is attracting so much support.
If Juncker really wants us to stay he should start trying to correct the problems his organisation has caused rather than interfering in our affairs.
He may not realise it but he is one of the out campaign’s most valuable assets.
Grizzly bears are otherwise known as North American brown bears
It was an unusual picnic for Irina and her daughter Katya.
They were joined by grizzly bear Stepan.
Despite weighing about 50 stone he’s so tame and cuddly that Katya even gave him a real-life bear hug.
Not many people can say they’ve done that.
