Good morning everyone!

 

We've made it to the weekend finally!

 

The weather is getting warmer now, which is quite strange for this time of year- seen as though we have had snow at this time of year before! We have highs of 11º and 10º over the weekend and down to lows of 4º on Sunday.

 

Westminster is at risk of a 'catastrophic' fire if it doesn't undergo repairs, an MP has revealed. The building has faulty wires and pipes, leaks and asbestos. If the building doesn't get sorted out, there could be a serious fire or a serious incident which could make the building unusable.

 

After a post mortem was carried out on George Michael, it has been revealed that he died of natural causes. The singer died of "dilated cardiomyopathy with myocarditis and fatty liver" which is a disease of when the heart muscle becomes stretched and thin.

 

The first pictures have been released for a new mode of travel, which is a 'Hyperloop' system. Passengers would sit in capsules and would be propelled , floating on air through low-pressure tubes. If it is developed, the capsules could reach speeds in excess of 500mph and passengers could make a commute from London to Edinburgh in as fast as 45 minutes.
