However, they said "too many" had tried to create "division and hate" in the aftermath and urged people to "take pride in our community spirit again".Seven-year-old Elsie Dot Stancombe, nine-year-old Alice Dasilva Aguiar and six-year-old Bebe King were killed in the stabbings during a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport on 29 July, and eight other children and two adults were seriously injured.

False claims have spread online that the person responsible was an asylum seeker who had arrived in the UK by boat and a Muslim.Axel Muganwa Rudakubana, from Banks in Lancashire, has been charged with three counts of murder, 10 attempted murders and possession of a curved kitchen knife.The 17-year-old, who was born to Rwandan parents in Cardiff and moved to the Southport area in 2013, has no known links to Islam.

Violence erupted in the Merseyside seaside town on 30 July, with police blaming far-right groups, and it has since spread to other towns and cities across England.Members of the public and police officers have been injured and asylum seekers' accommodation, mosques and shops have been targeted.

More than 140 people have now been arrested nationwide.

In their statement, leaders from Merseyside’s Christian, Muslim, Jewish, Hindu and Sikh communities said a week on from "that terrible day" should be a "time for quiet reflection and remembrance", but "too many people" had sought to "use the tragedy to create division and hate"."It's also interesting to see the paper's findings that climate models likely under-estimate the changes seen so far, but even those models suggest a doubling of the volatility for a global temperature warming of 3C – now looking increasingly likely we'll reach."

The new study adds to the growing body of evidence that a warmer climate has altered the background conditions to the raging wildfires currently burning around Los Angeles.Much of the Western US including California experienced a decades-long drought that ended just two years ago.

The resulting wet conditions since then have seen the rapid growth of shrubs, grasses and trees, the perfect fuel for fires.However, last summer was very hot and was followed by dry autumn and winter season with almost no rain - downtown Los Angeles has only received 0.16 inches of rain since October, more than four inches below average.
