On 16 April, HM Coastguard "very helpfully" informed the coroner that the wreck was privately owned when it was requisitioned in World War Two by the Ministry of Defence, "but their records do not show who currently owns it but suggest that the DfT may be able to assist with ownership."Following her investigation, the coroner said she was "concerned that there is no safe system in place to ensure that an organisation is responsible for the management and safety of such shipwrecks which are accessible by members of the public."

"In my opinion action should be taken to prevent future deaths and I believe you [and/or your organisation] have the power to take such action," Ms Goward told the DfT.The department now has to inform the coroner of changes it intends to make, provide a timetable for action or explain why no action is proposed.In a quiet corner of Runcorn, a group of residents who've been fighting to bring a disused canal back to use have found themselves thrust into the centre of a political battle.

The Unlock Runcorn group have long wanted to reconnect the Bridgewater and Manchester Ship canals, restoring what was an important water route that linked Runcorn with both Manchester and Liverpool and played a key part in the town's industrial boom.The charity wants to reopen the canal as a regeneration project – and recently they've had a lot of attention from politicians, not least the parties vying for votes in the upcoming by-election.

"There are good places in Runcorn, there's so much going on, and it sometimes gets overlooked which is a real shame," says Stephen J Holloran, the group's community engagement officer.

"I think what the by-election is really doing is shining a spotlight and causing a debate."She had been returning from a night out when the man kicked her and beat her with his crutch. The force of the strike was so strong that it broke the crutch.

When the police arrived, the man showed them a document proving he had been in Ukraine and claimed that because of his service “nothing will happen to him”.The attack on Irina is just one of many reported to have been committed by soldiers returning from Ukraine.

Verstka, an independent Russian website, estimates that at least 242 Russians have been killed by soldiers returning from Ukraine. Another 227 have been seriously injured.Like the man who beat Irina, many of the attackers have previous criminal convictions and were released from prison specifically to join Russia’s war in Ukraine.
