Twenty people have been killed and dozens more hurt in a head-on collision involving two passenger trains in southern Italy, officials say.

The two trains were on a single-track line at the time of the crash, between the coastal towns of Bari and Barletta.

Emergency services are trying to free passengers from the wrecked carriages near the town of Andria.

Authorities have appealed for blood donations, calling the situation "dramatic".

Amazing just 20 dead, looks like it could have been a lot more judging by the damage of the 2 trains.
Could you imagine if it had happened in India where they massively overcrowd the trains?

No mate, that's one I bought off Gumtree for £75.

It has the cutting deck taken off and some kid had been using it in lawnmower races so it's tuned <laugh>

The gardeners had been using expensive tractor mowers to tow trailer loads of logs & stuff through the forest.
I can imagine it being fun getting around on it then lol.
 
Seven teenagers have been arrested after police seized a loaded handgun in a raid on a branch of Nando's.

A fight broke out as officers tried to search a bag belonging to a 17-year-old at the restaurant in Birmingham, at about 23:30 BST on Wednesday.

West Midlands Police said the gun was found in the bag, along with six bullets at the branch on Bishopsgate Street.

Two knives and suspected Class B drugs were found in a search of the group.

The seven, who are all male and aged between 15 and 19, were arrested on suspicion of possessing a firearm.

Det Ch Insp Sam Ridding, from the force's serious and organised crime unit, said: "It is shocking to think that this group of young men were enjoying a meal in a family restaurant while holding a loaded gun."

A spokesman for Nando's said they are helping the police with their enquiries.
