The tunnel section under the Thames River, located between the Ebbsfleet and St. Pancras international train stations in England, flooded due to a leak. At least 20 train services were canceled as a result of the incident. Passengers who were traveling to other European countries for the New Year celebrations were stranded. Authorities said they were working on the problem, but the number of canceled expeditions is expected to increase.
Germany recorded 18,585 cases of sexual abuse against children and young people last year, averaging 50 victims a day, Interior Minister Alexander Dobrindt announced in Berlin. Of these, 16,354 involved children under 14 and 1,191 involved youths aged 15–17.
Authorities registered 12,368 suspects, with one-third under 18. In 57% of cases, the victim and perpetrator knew each other. The report also logged over 52,000 crimes involving child sexual imagery, mostly online. Dobrindt called the figures “shockingly high” and urged strict prosecution of offenders.
