A standoff with a man armed with weapons inside a south London hotel room ended peacefully Wednesday morning.

Police at the Days Inn on Wellington Road South said the situation was resolved at around 6 am ET after a night of negotiations. No one was injured and no one was taken into custody, an officer at the scene said.

The standoff forced the closure Tuesday afternoon of Wellington Road between Bradley and Dearness Drive. The road reopened Wednesday morning.

Following New York City Mayor Eric Adams’ announcement last week that the city will bus some migrants to hotels in nearby counties temporarily, officials in Orange County filed two lawsuits on Friday attempting to stop the plan – even as some migrants have already arrived.

Filed in state court in Orange County, one of the lawsuits obtained by CNN alleges that the city’s plan exceeds its authority, violates a county executive order and bypasses shelter licensing requirements.

Adams had said the new program intends to

In Italy, connect with the locals, how to interact with locals in Italy

Yudi Pratama, May 11, 2023

I read about a young man who had learned six different languages, so he could easily travel and meet and talk to the locals. He said he has made his life so much more interesting. Traveling really is about the people, the language, the food and yes of course, beautiful places and beautiful scenery.

But what to use is this if the people are grumpy there and make you feel bad too. Or if you are grumpy…..! One always remembers a place for the wonderful service, the fantastic food or the endearing things that people do. Maybe it also has something to do with your mood – if you are exhausted, feeling lonely, arguing with your travel companion or missing your children then that place will not be remembered as being good.
