Venice has been flooded with water once again as officials warn of a 'terrible situation' a year after the city suffered a billion pounds of damage during high tides.  Bad weather including heavy rain and high winds caused the tide in Venice to rise and flood waters reached a height of 122cm this morning, catching the authorities off guard before they could activate the huge flood barriers that were rolled out just two months ago. Those tides then reached a 145 cm peak as strong sirocco winds blew in from Croatia and two rivers flooded near the sea around the historic Italian city. The system of 78 flood gates, known as Mose, guard the entrance to the Venetian lagoon and are designed to protect the city from tides of up to 3 metres (10 ft). However, they require 48-hours notice to be activated. Weather bulletins in past days had forecast rainfall pushing sea levels up to 120 centimetres, below the 130 cm threshold at which the flood barriers are operated. A woman in a red dress

Police investigated claims that the head of Oxford’s grandest college sexually assaulted a woman inside the city’s cathedral, it was revealed last night. However, officers cleared him and decided ‘no further action’ would be taken days after interviewing the Very Reverend Professor Martyn Percy, the Dean of Christ Church.

The state of Texas joined the desperate effort to get a case that would overturn the election results before the Supreme Court on the stroke of midnight Tuesday – by suing four battleground states that Joe Biden won for the way they conducted elections. In the suit filed late Monday in the name of the State of Texas, its attorney general Ken Paxton argues that the Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Georgia violated the Constitution's Elections Clause with their dramatic expansion of mail-in ballots amid the coronavirus pandemic.  Paxton is himself under FBI investigation over allegations of bribery and abuse of his office.
