(AP) LONDON – Residents of a London apartment tower went to court Monday in a bid to stop their rooftop being used as a missile base during the Olympic Games, saying the unprecedented deployment could make the building a terrorist target. The British military plans to deploy surface-to-air missiles at six sites around London as part of a vast security operation for the July 27-Aug. 12 games. But residents of the 17-story Fred Wigg Tower in Leytonstone, east London, say they were not consulted about the decision. The judge’s decision is expected to be announced Tuesday morning.

(AP) LONDON – Hans Kristian Rausing was granted bail Wednesday after making his first court appearance on a charge of preventing the lawful burial of the body of his American-born wife, Eva. Police said Eva Rausing’s body was discovered in a severe state of decomposition underneath layers of clothing and garbage bags at the couple’s expensive London home. District Judge James Henderson granted bail on two conditions: that Rausing reside at a psychiatric hospital and not leave unless accompanied by a member of the staff.

Some persist in believing, against all evidence, that the city of Krymsk and its 57,000 people were intentionally sacrificed to prevent the flood waters from damaging Novorossiysk, a major Black Sea port essential for exporting Russian oil and grain. Death toll from Russian floods hits 150 This deep distrust of the government poses a challenge to Putin, who depends on the support of ordinary Russians across the country to counter the growing challenge in Moscow to his 12-year rule. At the very least, the flooding has Russians once again questioning the government’s ability to keep them safe. Still fresh in their memory are a string of disasters — from the bungled response to the sinking of the Kursk submarine in 2000, to the wildfires that swept seemingly unopposed through a swath of western Russia in 2010, to the capsizing of an overloaded river boat that killed more than 120 people last year. The Emergencies Ministry acknowledged Monday that it had failed to warn residents about the flash flood that turned Krymsk streets into swirling muddy rivers and filled one-story homes practically up to the ceiling in the middle of the night. Many of the 171 who died were elderly residents unable to escape in time. A total of 29,000 people in Krymsk and the seaside resort town Gelendzhik lost all of their possessions, while about 300 homes in Krymsk...
