Brexiteers lash 'deeply irresponsible' Bank of England Governor for being the 'high priest of project fear' after he sinks the pound with warning about 'uncomfortably high' risk of no deal

Bank Governor called on all sides to ensure there was a deal and long transition 

Said Britain falling out of the EU without a deal in March would hit the economy 

Bank of England has tested the banks to ensure they can cope with house prices plunging by a third, rates spiking to 4% and a recession after a no deal Brexit 

Governor spoke out after raising rates to the highest level in a decade yesterday 

Brexiteers condemned Mark Carney as 'deeply irresponsible' today after he send the pound down by warning the risk of a no deal Brexit.

The Bank of England Governor's remarks sent the pound below 1.30 against the dollar while sterling was also weaker against the euro.  

He warned Britain 'accidentally' leaving the EU without a deal and no transition in March 2019 would be 'highly undesirable' for the economy.

He revealed banks have been 'put through the wringer' to ensure they would cope with house prices plunging by a third, interest rates spiking to 4 per cent and a recession.

‘I paid £1,700 to paddle from Morocco to Spain’: Inside the reception centre where 1,500 migrants have arrived in seven days as the Strait of Gibraltar becomes the new gateway to Europe and the local MP warns: 'Africa is unstoppable

Cheikhou N’Diaye revealed how he waited just three days in Tangier before he boarded an inflatable dingy 

The 20-year-old from Senegal is one of more than 500 migrants housed in a reception centre in Algeciras

He wants to get a job and send money home, explaining: '[I will work in] Spain, France, Germany – anywhere'

More than 1,500 migrants have landed on Spain's southern coast in the past seven days, most in Algeciras

An African migrant has told how he paid almost £1,800 to be smuggled into the Spanish port of Algeciras - dubbed the new Lampedusa by its own mayor - from Morocco.

Cheikhou N’Diaye revealed how he waited just three days in Tangier before he boarded an inflatable dingy with 30 other migrants and paddled across the Strait of Gibraltar before he was rescued by the Spanish Coast Guard.

The 20-year-old from Senegal is one of more than 500 migrants housed in an emergency reception centre following an unprecedented influx of Africans arriving in Spain.

MailOnline gained exclusive access to a migrant reception centre on the outskirts of Algeciras, where migrants revealed their dangerous journeys - walking across the Sahara Desert and risking their lives in treacherous seas separating Africa from Europe – in the hope of a new life.

N'Diaye told MailOnline: 'I paid 2,000 Euros [£1,780] for my passage across the sea from Morocco to Spain.

'There were 30 people in my boat. It was an inflatable and I had to paddle. We set off from the beach and paddled through the night. Finally we were rescued at 8am.

'It was a dangerous journey but I am in Europe now.

'Now I want to get a job and earn money to send home. I don't mind where I go in Europe as long as I can get a job – Spain, France, Germany – anywhere.'

Inside the sprawling Los Cortijillos camp, next to a busy motorway, the hundreds of residents queued impatiently for their midday meal, handed out by scores of Spanish volunteers.

Armed officers from Spain's Guardia Civil paramilitary police wearing face mask against infection stand guard inside the camp and barred access to the defunct sports hall and outside football pitch to members of the public.

Local residents pass packs of cigarettes through the wire fences surrounding the centre in acts of quiet generosity.

The centre is currently home for 549 migrants who are given regular meals, clothing and medical support. Some 50 women and children were last night transferred from the sprawling Los Cortijillos camp to a new migrant reception centre which has opened further down the cost.

But as the local authorities struggle to shelter the new arrivals the men must sleep on the hard concrete floor and share two toilets and two showers between them. They queue in a line stretching for hundreds of yards for a meal of pasta, bread and fruit.

Parents should NOT give their children mobile phones before secondary school, top psychiatrist warns

Dr Jon Goldin claimed parents are being forced into buying phones for children

Vice chairman of the Royal College of Psychologists said government guidance on when to give smartphones to children would help parents stand their ground

His comments came from the Royal College of Psychiatrists report which also found 92 per cent of parents think the internet negatively impacts their child

Parents should be given official advice warning them not to give their children smartphones before they reach secondary school, a leading psychiatrist has warned.

Dr Jon Goldin claimed parents are being forced into buying the devices for their young children so they aren’t left out at school.

The vice chairman of the Royal College of Psychologists said government guidance on when to give smartphones to children would help parents stand their ground

Speaking to the Daily Telegraph, he said: ‘Children often say to their parents: “All my friends are [getting phones] and you are not allowing me to do that.”

‘In that situation, parents do need the support of national guidance.

‘I don’t think we can legislate [to restrict it to under 11s] but this guidance would back parents up when they were having conversations with their 10-year-olds.’ Dr Goldin also called on the government to recommend that children under 11 should be restricted to two hours a day on social media.

He said social media makes children anxious and depressed, and time spent online can leave them vulnerable to cyberbullying.

The psychiatrist called on social media giants such as Facebook and Twitter to make it more difficult for young people to lie about their age and create accounts before they turn 13.

Dr Goldin’s comments come ahead of the publication of a report by the Royal College of Psychiatrists, which assesses the damage caused by children spending too much time online.

It is believed almost four in ten children aged between eight and 11 own a smartphone.

But more than 40 per cent of parents believe young people under the age of 16 should be banned from owning the devices, a poll for the Priory found.

The survey also revealed 67 per cent of parents wanted government to decide how old a child should be before they are given a smartphone.

Out of 1,000 parents polled, the rehabilitation centre found 92 per cent thought the internet was impacting their child in a bad way.

Some were concerned their child’s smartphone addiction was affecting their sleep, while others thought time spent online lowered their child’s self-esteem.

Dr Goldin’s warning comes a day after a major report revealed the average adult looks at their mobile every 12 minutes

Enjoying date nights! CrossFit-loving Donald Trump Jr shows off a fuller figure as he heads to a Mexican restaurant date with girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle

Donald Trump Jr and Kimberly Guilfoyle's whirlwind romance continues to intensify as the pair were spotted on yet another date night.

The couple were seen walking out of the former Fox News host's Central Park apartment for a night out at Rosa Mexicano in Manhattan on Monday. 

Kimberly, 49, donned an all-black ensemble that featured tight leather leggings, a flowing long-sleeved top, and matching Christian Louboutin heels. 

Don Jr opted for brighter colors with a hot pink Polo shirt and a pair of jeans, appearing to show off a fuller figure as they headed off for dinner.  

It appears Don Jr has given up time at his beloved CrossFit for more dates with the former Fox News host.

Before and right after announcing his divorce to Vanessa Trump, Don Jr's Instagram began to fill with pictures and snaps of his daily sweat sessions.

Don Jr often posted pictures of both himself and his children at his gym, along with plenty of photographs of various hunting and hiking trip with his friends. 

But those workout photos have become less and less frequent as Don Jr's profile fills with pictures of him and Kimberly smiling at various events and date nights together.

DailyMail.com confirmed Kimberly and Don Jr's relationship in June after weeks of speculation - and the two have been flaunting their romance ever since.

The pair spent a romantic weekend together fishing in Montana after attending the Republican Party's annual convention.

Kimberly was on hand to support her new beau as he delivered a speech in Billings, Montana, where he announced he was going to take her fishing and shooting. 

And Don Jr has also been spotted writing sappy comments on her pictures and fending off other men vying for his girlfriend's attention.

Pope calls for dialogue as Nicaragua violence escalates

Pope Francis called Sunday for dialogue in Nicaragua after new clashes killed at least seven people, the latest bloodshed in weeks of anti-government protests that have left more than 100 dead.

The Church has tried to mediate the crisis in the Central American country, but called off peace talks with President Daniel Ortega’s government last week after a march led by victims’ mothers was met with gunfire, killing at least 16 people.

Violence erupted again Saturday, as protesters fired homemade mortars to fend off police crackdowns in the cities of Masaya and Tipitapa, both near the capital Managua.

The new unrest left at least seven people dead, including a US citizen reportedly killed by a pro-government mob in a separate incident in Managua, according to rights groups.

“I am united with my brother bishops in Nicaragua and their grief over violence committed by armed groups,” the pope said at the Vatican.

“The Church is always in favor of dialogue, but for that it requires an active commitment to respect freedom and, above all, life.”

At Mass in Managua’s Metropolitan Cathedral, Father Luis Herrera said he was praying for the victims of “police repression.”

The violence has now claimed 110 lives since it erupted on April 18, according to the Nicaraguan Center for Human Rights.

The government said in a statement it was “absolutely willing to continue working for dialogue, justice and democracy.”

Church caught in crossfire
The Nicaraguan Bishops’ Conference aborted its attempt to mediate the conflict after the deadly crackdown on Wednesday’s Mother’s Day march, saying dialogue was impossible as long as “the people continue to be repressed and killed” by “groups close to the government.”

The Catholic Church has been increasingly caught up in the conflict.

On Saturday, Silvio Jose Baez, the auxiliary bishop of Managua, warned residents of flashpoint city Masaya to stay indoors over reports of pro-government snipers shooting people in the street.

A church in central Masaya later opened its doors to give refuge and medical care to 21 residents who had been detained and reportedly abused by police.

The Church and the Nicaraguan Association for the Protection of Human Rights (ANPDH) obtained the release of 11 more detainees Sunday. Most had clearly been beaten.

“I’m just a paramedic,” said one young woman who declined to give her name, adding that she had been arbitrarily arrested and beaten in Masaya.

“They beat my son all over, on his stomach, on his head,” said a sobbing Antonia Gonzalez, whose 25-year-old son Luis was one of those detained, on what his family called fabricated looting charges.

Cardinal emeritus dies
Ortega, who has dominated Nicaraguan politics for the past four decades, had been seen as close to the Church in recent years.

One of his key allies, cardinal emeritus Miguel Obando, died Sunday at age 92.

Obando and Ortega had a love-hate relationship stretching back to the 1970s.

Obando, like the president, was a sharp critic of dictator Anastasio Somoza, who was ousted by Ortega’s Sandinista guerrilla army in 1979.

He later turned his criticism on the newly installed Sandinista junta led by Ortega, criticizing its communist ideology, alleged human rights violations and vision of a “people’s church” based on leftist liberation theology.

But as Ortega — who lost the presidency in a 1990 election — charted his eventual return to power in 2007, he courted the cardinal’s favor with a mix of progressive social policy and support for a total abortion ban.

Obando even presided over Ortega’s 2005 wedding to his current vice president, Rosario Murillo.

Former bastion
But the Catholic Church has distanced itself from Ortega over the crackdown.

The church in Masaya has sheltered opposition supporters from attacks by riot police and pro-government paramilitaries, and church bells are the warning signal residents use when security forces arrive.

Once a Sandinista bastion, the city of just over 100,000 people looked like a war zone Sunday.

Residents have put up barricades to keep out riot police and protect themselves from what they say are police and paramilitary snipers.

Ortega, whose third consecutive term is due to end in 2022, denies his forces are killing protesters. His government accuses “right-wing groups” of conspiring to “terrorize” the country.

Erdogan says Uber ‘finished’ in Turkey

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said the ride hailing app Uber is “finished” in Turkey, following intense pressure from Istanbul taxi drivers for the service to be banned.Erdogan’s comments, in a late night speech Friday in Istanbul, came after the government agreed new rules that are expected to severely complicate Uber’s operations in Turkey.

Drivers of Istanbul’s yellow taxis have over the last months waged an intense campaign to have Uber banned, saying the company is eating into their business without having a proper legal basis for work.

“This thing emerged called Uber or Muber or whatever,” said Erdogan. “But this issue is now finished. It’s over now.””Our Prime Minister (Binali Yildirim) made the announcement. We have our system of taxis,” he added

Yildirim’s government last month issued a directive sharply hiking fines and threatened blacklisting for companies whose vehicles illegally work as taxis.

The official taxi drivers association said at the time the measure would be a major threat to Uber, if it was properly enforced by the traffic police.

Erdogan said that while Uber may be popular in some European countries, Turkey was different.

“Why did it (Uber) emerge? Because it was in Europe. But what is Europe to me? We will take the decision ourselves.”

His comments come three weeks ahead of keenly-contested presidential and parliamentary elections. Many Istanbul taxi drivers — though not all — are strong Erdogan supporters and the main taxi associations back him

The 17,400 official yellow taxis in Istanbul are a pillar of the city’s often patchy transport system, but critics say that poor quality service and overcharging have given Uber an opportunity.

The yellow taxi drivers, on the other hand, slam Uber as “pirates” who are swallowing their incomes in an already tight market.

Uber has said it is committed to working in Turkey and insisted it is operating within the law

“We want to work in cooperation with all the relevant stakeholders to improve transportation options in Turkey and we are committed long-term to Turkey, to the end, as a loyal partner,” it said in a rare Turkish statement this week.

The tension in Turkey is one of a number of headaches for Uber and its new chief executive Dara Khosrowshahi, who took over last August after founder Travis Kalanick was ousted following a series of scandals.

Syria’s Assad threatens force against US-backed Kurds

Syrian President Bashar al-Assad has warned US-backed Kurdish forces he would not hesitate to use force to retake the third of the country they control.

“The only problem left in Syria is the SDF,” Assad told Russia Today in an interview aired Thursday, referring to the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces which has spearheaded battles against Islamic State group jihadists.

“We’re going to deal with it by two options,” he said.

“The first one: we started now opening doors for negotiations. Because the majority of them are Syrians, supposedly they like their country, they don’t like to be puppets to any foreigners,” Assad said in English.

“We have one option, to live with each other as Syrians. If not, we’re going to resort… to liberating those areas by force.”

The Kurds in oil-rich northeastern Syria have long pushed for increased autonomy in their heartland but Damascus has insisted it intends to reassert its authority over the entire country.

The SDF, dominated by the militia of a self-proclaimed Kurdish autonomous administration, have air support from the US-led coalition against IS and operate on the ground with US and French special forces.

“It’s our land, it’s our right and it’s our duty to liberate it,” Assad said. “The Americans should leave. Somehow they’re going to leave.”

Both the SDF and Russian-backed Syrian government troops are engaged in separate operations against IS jihadists in eastern Syria, creating a highly volatile situation where de-confliction mechanisms have already been tested several times.

Assad also said that a confrontation between Russia and US forces over Syria was narrowly avoided.

“We were close to have direct conflict between the Russian forces and the American forces,” he said.

“Fortunately, it has been avoided, not by the wisdom of the American leadership, but by the wisdom of the Russian leadership.”

A US-led wave of Western missile strikes on Syrian government targets across the country last month raised fears of a Russian response and full-blown internationalisation of the seven-year-old conflict.

‘No Iranians’
More strikes by US ally Israel have further raised fears that the devastating war, which has left more than 350,000 people dead, could yet escalate.

Israel has claimed that it targeted military infrastructure run by its archfoe Iran, which has been Damascus’ other key ally in the conflict.

Assad denied that Tehran had any active troops in Syria and claimed the only Iranians on the Syrian battleground were military advisers.

“The most important fact regarding this issue, is that we don’t have Iranian troops,” he told RT.

“We could not hide it, and we would not be ashamed to say that we have. We invited the Russians, we could have invited the Iranians,” he said.

“We have Iranian officers, who work with the Syrian army as a help but they don’t have troops.”

Israeli officials “said that they attacked Iranian bases and camps,” he said. “Actually we had tens of Syrians, martyred and wounded soldiers, not a single Iranian.”

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britain-based monitoring group with a vast network of sources on the ground, has said several Iranians were among those killed in Israeli strikes earlier this month.

Assad, who has reconquered large parts of the country since the start of a vast 2015 Russian military intervention in his favour, struck a conciliatory note and said he expected wide support in former rebel-held areas.

“You have to open the doors and you have to distinguish between different kinds of people,” he told RT.

“The majority of the people who were against the government… in the different liberated areas, actually in their hearts they are with the government,” Assad said.

“They could tell the difference between having a government and having chaos.”
