I went to a Sport Check just now, they don’t sell laceless running shoes.

14m ago (1 7:10 GMT) Aid trucks headed to Gaza from occupied West Bank set ablaze Aid trucks carrying humanitarian aid supplies for Gaza have been destroyed by fire in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. Video obtained by the Reuters news agency shows trucks beside the separation wall in Beit Awwa, west of Hebron, fully engulfed in flames. Firefighters work to extinguish the fire but the vehicles and contents appear destroyed. On Monday, Israelis blocked aid trucks in the latest incident in a series of attacks on humanitarian relief headed for the war-battered coastal enclave. Four protesters, including a minor, were arrested at the protest at the Tarqumiyah military checkpoint, west of Hebron in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, according to a statement from lawyers representing them.

    "Doctor Who" returned at the weekend with a double bill — "Space Babies" and "The Devil’s Chord." Here's a Rolling Stone U.K. interview from last year with the 15th Doctor, Ncuti Gatwa, in which he talks about his approach to the character and how he identifies with them. "As a child, Gatwa and his family fled Rwanda, escaping the genocide against the Tutsi minority. They settled in Scotland," writes journalist Alison Rumfitt. “This person survived a genocide. This person fits in everywhere and nowhere. I am the Doctor. The Doctor is me. I decided that I had to get this role,” Gatwa told her. How do you feel about the new series so far?
