A foreign-owned super trawler, that controls almost a quarter of England's fishing quota, will take biggest share after Brexit.  The 390ft Dutch Frank Bonefaas controls 23 per cent of England's fishing quota, and is the largest trawler registered in the British fishing fleet.  Campaigners say more than half of England's fishing quota will be controlled by foreign fishing companies and they want a radical overhaul of fisheries policy.  The 390ft Dutch Frank Bonefaas controls 23 per cent of England's fishing quota, and is the largest trawler registered in the British fishing fleet The Frank Bonefaas is owned by a UK subsidiary of the Dutch fishing group Cornelis Vrolijk, reports The Telegraph.  The owner was ordered to pay £102,000 in fines in March 2015 after it was caught illegally fishing off the Cornish coast by the Royal Navy. In August last year, the ship transferred its registration from the Netherlands to the UK, but still lands its entire catch into the Dutch por

A drone has successfully carried NHS supplies from the mainland to the Isles of Scilly for the first time, which was then sent back loaded with gin. The unmanned aircraft delivered an NHS supply box to St Mary's airport in a 60-mile round trip which marks the first-ever drone freight delivery between two commercial airports in the UK. This ground-breaking trip has been heralded as 'paving the way' for a new lifeline connection with the remote islands off the coast of Cornwall. The drone then returned to Land's End airport with local floral and alcoholic produce from the islands. Currently, most freight is carried to the islands by ship, with some being taken alongside passengers on planes.

NHS bosses last night ordered an investigation into the killing of seven-year-old Emily Jones by a mentally ill Albanian woman. The new probe, which comes after The Mail on Sunday exposed a devastating catalogue of failings, will examine the way paranoid schizophrenic Eltiona Skana was cared for in the community. Medical staff knew she posed a threat when the attack occurred. Skana, 30, who entered the UK illegally in 2014, grabbed Emily as she scootered in a park in Bolton on Mother’s Day and slashed her throat with a craft knife. The MoS revealed last week how medical staff knew Skana had previously threatened a 13-year-old girl while possibly armed with a knife, but this incident was not included in her risk assessment and those monitoring her care in the community were unaware of the danger. Skana admitted manslaughter on the grounds of diminished responsibility and was last week given a life sentence with a minimum term of eight years Skana was assessed just once in the three mont

All schools in Greenwich are set to close from tomorrow as lessons move online amid a spike in Covid-19 cases - despite a Government warning to keep classes running or face legal action. Danny Thorpe, leader of the Labour-run council, has told all schools in the south-east London borough to close four days before the Christmas break, warning the local Covid-19 situation was 'escalating extremely quickly'.  All schools will close tomorrow evening, with Cllr Thorpe's open letter failing to explain whether the closure would continue when pupils return in the New Year.  No other London borough has followed suit as yet, after it was revealed the Government could force schools to remain open in the run-up to Christmas by applying for a High Court injunction.

Hackers backed by a foreign government have been monitoring internal email traffic at the U.S. Treasury Department and an agency that decides internet and telecommunications policy, according to people familiar with the matter. The hack involves the NTIA's office software, Microsoft's Office 365. Staff emails at the agency were monitored by the hackers for months, sources said.  National Security Council spokesman John Ullyot said: 'The United States government is aware of these reports and we are taking all necessary steps to identify and remedy any possible issues related to this situation.' There is concern within the U.S. intelligence community that the hackers who targeted the Treasury Department and the Commerce Department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration used a similar tool to break into other government agencies, according to three people briefed on the matter.
