The death of an 85-year-old man, who died of hypothermia after collapsing and being left sprawled and forgotten on a bitterly cold street in central Paris for nine hours, has sparked grief, indignation, and incredulity throughout France and abroad. René Robert, a Swiss photographer who captured some of Spain's most famous flamenco stars, died last week after slipping on one of his nightly walks through his crowded Paris neighborhood. Robert collapsed in Rue de Turbigo, between the Place de la République and Les Halles, according to his buddy, journalist Michel Mompontet. In a series of tweets, Mompontet stated, "He had a dizzy episode and fell." "He lay rooted to the spot in the cold for nine hours, unable to get up, until a homeless person called for help." It's too late. He was suffering from hypothermia and couldn't hold on to life. During those nine hours, no one bothered to inquire as to why this man was sleeping on the sidewalk. "Not a single

As Calls Mount For Rishi Sunak To Eliminate VAT On Gas And Electricity To Help Poor Households, Energy Costs Will Jump By Nearly HALF To £1,900 Per Year From April.

New plans call for Rishi Sunak to abolish VAT on gas and electricity, which will raise energy costs by nearly half to £1,900 from April. The energy price cap is expected to climb in April, with industry analysts projecting that it will rise to £1,897 for ordinary customers, up 48% from its current level of £1,277. According to The Telegraph, after finalizing plans this week, energy regulator Ofgem will announce the energy price cap increase, which will take effect on April 1, at 7 a.m. on Monday. In England, Scotland, and Wales, the energy price cap restricts how much companies can charge for their basic electricity and gas contracts. It comes as Rishi Sunak came under increasing pressure on Friday to agree on steps to assist families, amid fears that rising energy costs could lead to a price hike. Boris Johnson may consider lowering VAT on energy prices, according to reports, despite appearing to rule it out just three weeks ago. Meanwhile, Cornwall Insight, an energy market research

Daryl Luciani, a bus driver, and his two passengers were among those rescued from the gully created by the collapsed bridge. Mr Luciani stated that he was "banged up," but that he was not hurt. "The bus was bouncing and rocking for what seemed like an eternity, but it was probably less than a minute before it finally came
