Family demand £66 Waterworld refund after Annabelle, 5, ends up in A&E - Stoke-on-Trent Live

A family-of-three are demanding a £65.50 refund - after a nightmare trip to Waterworld.

Ashley and Jessica Curwood splashed out £60 on tickets, £3.50 on parking, and £2.50 on a locker after travelling from their Nottinghamshire home for an early birthday treat for five-year-old daughter Annabelle.

But they say they suffered sore eyes and chesty coughs within 15 minutes of getting into the water last Sunday morning due to the chlorine levels. They say other families had similar complaints.

Now Waterworld has hit back at the complaints and says there were no health and safety breaches.

The family had arrived at the Festival Park attraction at 10am and got into the water at 10.30am.

Ashley, aged 32, said: “Our eyes were stinging really badly and there were quite a few people coughing. We looked at the lifeguards and their eyes looked like they were streaming. They were going in the first aid box and getting the eye wash out to wash their eyes.

“I spoke to one of them and asked what was happening. They said something had happened with one of the pumps and there was too much chlorine in the water.

“Your eyes always sting when you go to a swimming pool but this was quite extreme. You were constantly rubbing your eyes. We had to go and wash them out with water. It was mainly my daughter we were worried about.”

Ashley added: “We were advised to go out of the pool for half an hour, wash our eyes out, and try not to go under the water. We tried to carry on but it was getting quite bad.

“Our daughter started coughing a lot and she said her chest was hurting. She went and sat on the side, I got her a drink of water. She was upset and didn’t want to go back into the water.

“I spoke to a member of staff at around 12pm and they said we had been in here for a few hours so they couldn't do anything about it in terms of a refund. He said they could offer us some mini-golf tickets or change our pass so we could stay all day.

“I spoke to my wife and my daughter but she didn’t want to stay in the pool. We said we will do mini-golf. But when we got changed and everything my daughter said she didn’t want to do that, she wanted to go home. We told them we didn’t want to do it anymore.

"We were told it was either mini-golf or tickets to come back another day. We didn’t want to come back. I’m not happy about it."

The couple later called NHS 111 and Annabelle was advised to go to A&E.

Ashley added: “My wife was in there for about three-and-a-half hours which was longer than you got in the pool. They said she was not in any danger but they confirmed it was 'chlorine gas poisoning'.

“We have to watch her for the next few days and make sure her breathing is fine and that she is not coughing up blood.”

Ashley has made a complaint to Stoke-on-Trent City Council's trading standards.

He said: “As soon as we got her away from it she was feeling fine. I am massively disappointed with the company.

“We had an hour in the pool and the rest of the time we were out washing our eyes.

“If they had just apologised, here is your money back, and we hope you come back again; we probably would have.

“The main thing I wanted was my money back, it’s not cheap. It cost around £60 to go there. £3.50 for parking and then £2.50 for a locker.

“It takes about 55 minutes for us to get there. I said we don’t fancy coming back, it’s not a two minute drive for us. I’ve emailed the website to ask how I can make a formal complaint.”

Waterworld has been operating for 32 years and welcomed more than 13 million visitors. It had 2,000 customers on Sunday.

The company has declined to comment on the Curwood's specific issues and complaints.

A Waterworld spokesman said: "All pool tests and operational plantroom procedures were followed and adhered to fully, as is the norm. There were no breaches in any health and safety protocols.

"As a business we ensure our customers are dealt with in a fair manner. We do our best to make sure all customers leave with a smile.

"We believe the manager on duty did all he could to address the situation and offer a remedy."

Ukraine crisis: Activist breaks down in tears as she confronts Boris Johnson about lack of no-fly zone - Sky News

A Ukrainian broke down in tears as she made an emotional plea directly to Boris Johnson for the UK to help establish a no-fly zone above the skies of her homeland.

Daria Kaleniuk confronted the prime minister at a news conference, in Poland's capital Warsaw, as she explained how her family and work colleagues remained at threat from the Russian invasion.

"You are talking about the stoicism of Ukrainian people," she told Mr Johnson.

"But Ukrainian women and Ukrainian children are in deep fear because of bombs and missiles which are coming from the sky.

"Ukrainian people are desperately asking for the West to protect our sky. We are asking for the no-fly zone.

"You are saying in response it will trigger World War Three, but what is the alternative?

"To observe how our children - instead of planes - are protecting NATO from the missiles and bombs?

"What's the alternative to the no-fly zone?"

Ms Kaleniuk described how NATO planes were currently in Poland and Romania as she urged the alliance to "at least" consider putting an air shield above western Ukraine, in order to allow women and children to travel to their country's borders and seek sanctuary.

In other developments:

• Boris Johnson says more than 200,000 Ukrainians could be allowed to join family in UK
• Constant shelling is happening in port city Mariupol - with women and children killed, says mayor
• More than 520,000 refugees have already fled Ukraine, according to UN
• Australia to give $50m in missiles, ammo and other hardware after previously pledging only non-lethal aid

She highlighted how the UK had provided security assurances to Ukraine as part of a 1994 memorandum signed in Budapest.

And she also questioned why Mr Johnson had travelled to Poland on Tuesday and not Ukraine.

"Because you are afraid, because NATO is not willing to defend, because NATO is afraid of World War Three," Ms Kaleniuk added.

"But it has already started and it is Ukrainian children who are there taking the hit."

Ms Kaleniuk, who is executive director of Ukraine's Anti-Corruption Action Centre, asked why more Russian oligarchs - and their family members - were not being sanctioned by the West.

"You are talking about more sanctions, prime minister, but [Chelsea football club owner] Roman Abramovich is not sanctioned," she told Mr Johnson.

"He is in London, his children are not in the bombardments, his children are there in London.

"Putin's children are in the Netherlands, in Germany, in mansions. Where are all these mansions seized? I don't see that.

"I see my family members and my team members, I see that we are crying."

In response, the PM told Ms Kaleniuk he was "acutely conscious that there is not enough that we can do, as the UK government, to help in the way that you want".

"I've got to be honest about that," Mr Johnson, as he reiterated his opposition to NATO forces trying to establish air control over Russia above Ukraine.

"When you talk about the no fly zone, as I said to [Ukrainian president] Volodymyr Zelenskyy... unfortunately the implication of that is the UK will be engaged in shooting down Russian planes, would be engaged in direct combat with Russia.

"That is not something that we can do or that we've envisaged. I think the consequences of that will be truly very, very difficult to control."

Mr Johnson also reiterated his belief that Russian President Vladimir Putin's aggression against Ukraine was "doomed to fail".

"It will be extremely difficult for him to continue on the path that he is on," he said.

"In the meantime, as you rightly say, there is going to be a period of suffering for the people of Ukraine for which Putin and Putin alone is responsible.

"He's taken a decision that many people around the world find absolutely inexplicable as well as inexcusable.

"It will take time, I'm afraid, for us to come through this period.

"All we can do in the meantime is help people like your crew and your family to get out, to get to safety, help them with all the humanitarian support that we can provide, help them to come to the UK and we certainly will.

"But I cannot pretend to you that this is something the UK can fix by military means and I think it would be wrong of me to do so."

However, the PM did suggest that Mr Putin's "misadventure" had galvanised fresh thinking on European security - as he highlighted Germany's decision to boost defence spending, as the EU's promise to supply arms to Ukraine.

Ukraine invasion: Boris Johnson says more than 200,000 Ukrainians could be allowed to join family in UK - Sky News

More than 200,000 Ukrainians could be allowed to join family in the UK amid the Russian invasion, Boris Johnson has said.

Speaking during a visit to Poland, the prime minister said the UK will "make it easier for Ukrainians already living in the UK to bring their relatives to our country".

Key developments:
• At least 70 troops killed in Russian attack on Okhtyrka military base
• CCTV shows a missile strike on a government building in Kharkiv - causing huge explosion
• Military action turning into 'perilous misadventure' for Vladimir Putin, Raab says

UK 'extending family scheme'

Mr Johnson said exact numbers are "hard to calculate" but "they could be more than 200,000".

He added: "What we are going to do is we are extending the family scheme so that actually very considerable numbers would be eligible ... you could be talking about a couple of hundred thousand, maybe more.

"Additionally, we are going to have a humanitarian scheme and then a scheme by which UK companies and citizens can sponsor individual Ukrainians to come to the UK."

The PM's spokesman said Ukrainians living in the UK will be allowed to bring in "adult parents, grandparents, children over 18 and siblings" in addition to immediate family members.

Home Secretary Priti Patel will make a statement to MPs around 1.30pm setting out further details.

Speaking in the Commons on Monday, she ruled out a visa waiver for Ukrainians fleeing the conflict due to security concerns.

Around 100,000 Ukrainians had been expected to be eligible to come to the UK, but this has now increased to 200,000 as a result of the scheme being widened.

The PM's spokesman said these numbers were "indicative only" as it was "impossible to predict" how many people would take up the chance to come.

"We think it is right to have that open offer so that they can bring loved ones and be reunited with them should they wish to make that journey," he said.

Regarding plans for a scheme allowing organisations and individuals to sponsor Ukrainians to come to the UK, the spokesman said the government would liaise with the UN refugee agency to identify people on the border and work with councils, the devolved administrations and individuals and organisations who want to be involved.

More than half a million Ukrainians have fled the country after Vladimir Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine last week.

Ukraine invasion a 'colossal mistake' by Putin

Mr Johnson also said he is "more convinced than ever" that Putin's military campaign will fail and that he had made a "colossal mistake" by invading Ukraine.

Mr Johnson said Putin was using "barbaric and indiscriminate tactics against innocent civilians" and was prepared to "bomb tower blocks, to send missiles into tower blocks, to kill children, as we are seeing in increasing numbers".

He said evidence of the Russian president's attacks on civilians could be used in a future trial at The Hague.

The PM also suggested ways in which sanctions against Russia could be strengthened, saying: "There is plainly more to be done on Swift, we can tighten up yet further on Swift, even though it has had a dramatic effect already I think we do need to go further.

"There's more to be done on Sberbank, there's more to be done on the freezing of Russian assets.

"I think there's genuine amazement and dismay in Russia about what has happened already but there is more to be done."

Mr Johnson said there could be more "severing of sporting links" and "cracking down on the billionaires associated with Vladimir Putin".

Speaking at the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss warned "nothing and no one is off the table" when it comes to sanctions.

The Russian president, he said, had "fatally underestimated" the resistance of the Ukrainians and the resolve of the West to act amid what he described as an "unfolding disaster in our European continent".

The PM paid tribute to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, praising his "leadership and courage", adding: "I think he has inspired and mobilised not only his own people, he is inspiring and mobilising the world in outrage at what is happening in Ukraine."

Climate change risks are greater than thought, warns IPCC report - Financial Times

The world has a “brief and rapidly closing” window to adapt to climate change, with the risks associated with lower levels of warming greater than previously thought, the latest instalment of a landmark UN report signed off by 270 scientists from 67 countries has concluded.

Some losses were already irreversible and ecosystems were reaching the limits of their ability to adapt to the changing climate, the scientists warned in the blunt assessment.

The findings were an “atlas of human suffering and a damning indictment of failed climate leadership,” said UN secretary-general António Guterres. “I have seen many scientific reports in my time, but nothing like this.”

Hazards such as the rise in sea levels were unavoidable, and “any further delay” to mitigate and adapt to warming would miss the “window of opportunity to secure a liveable and sustainable future for all”, the long-awaited analysis said.

US climate envoy John Kerry said the report “paints a dire picture of the impacts already occurring because of a warmer world and the terrible risks to our planet if we continue to ignore science”.

Inger Andersen, executive director of the United Nations Environment Assembly, said the world was on track for warming of 3C since the pre-industrial period. “We are in an emergency heading for a disaster,” she said.

The analysis of the world’s ability to adapt to global warming from the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is the sixth such report and follows last year’s landmark paper on the science of warming.

That report found that the world was likely to temporarily reach 1.5C of warming within 20 years, even in the best-case scenario of deep cuts in greenhouse gas emissions. The world has already warmed by about 1.1C since the pre-industrial period.

“So much depends on what we do as a society . . . The future depends on us, not the climate,” said Helen Adams, a lecturer at King’s College London and lead author.

The report lands as Europe struggles with its dependence on oil and gas for energy, with its supplies from Russia threatened by Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine. During the closing IPCC session, Russian delegate Oleg Anasimov apologised “on behalf of all Russians who were not able to prevent this conflict”.

The UN’s Guterres said “current events” made clear the reliance on fossil fuels “makes the global economy and energy security vulnerable”.

The evidence for human-induced climate change and its effects was “unequivocal”, and limiting warming to 1.5C would reduce but not eliminate the negative impact, said the latest analysis, echoing the earlier IPCC report findings.

But the authors also concluded that the effects of warming, such as extreme weather events, would become more severe at lower temperatures than the previous 2014 IPCC adaptation assessment had concluded. That change was the result of more and better evidence.

“The impacts that we are observing on ecosystems, on natural systems and on human systems are much more widespread and are really accelerating,” said Marie-Fanny Racault, from Plymouth Marine Laboratory and a report author.

Human societies and the natural world could adapt to climate change “within limits”, but the effectiveness of adaptation would “decrease with increasing warming”, the scientists stressed.

Rises in sea level, for example, posed an “existential threat” for some small islands, while vital infrastructure, such as ports and energy systems, would be “increasingly vulnerable” if not designed to withstand climate change.

By 2100, between $7.9tn and $12.7tn in global assets would be in one-in-100-year coastal floodplains, based on a “medium” scenario, with about 1bn people at risk from coastal hazards such as flooding by 2060, the authors estimated.

“Multiple ports and coastal infrastructure are at risk . . . [which are] an important backbone of our global activity,” said Richard Dawson, a professor at Newcastle University and lead author.

“If we put up buildings that are not ready for the next 50-100 years of climate, or infrastructure that is not resilient and designed with future risks in mind, then effectively we’re locking in problems.”

The money available for adaptation was “insufficient,” the authors said. The UN has called for climate finance to be split evenly between efforts to curb and adapt to climate change, but most goes towards mitigation.

Sticking points during IPCC negotiations included pushback by some countries, including the US, against the phrase “loss and damage” in the report’s summary for policymakers. The term is politically charged as it implies financial compensation. Instead, the final summary uses the compromise term of “losses and damages”.

The IPCC authors were unable to reliably quantify the potential hit to the global economy of a failure to prepare for climate change, but said that “losses and damages” would increase as the planet warmed.

Aromar Revi, from the Indian Institute for Human Settlements and a report author, said the question remained as to “whether we can make the right societal choices quickly enough.”

UK takes aim at Russia with new economic crime law - POLITICO Europe

LONDON — Britain vowed to ramp up its targeting of Russian dirty money Monday as it unveiled long-awaited economic crime legislation.

The proposed law — the Economic Crime (Transparency and Enforcement) Bill — will pave the way for a “register of overseas entities” identifying foreign owners of U.K. property, the Home Office said.

Selling restrictions will be imposed on those who do not comply, and people found breaking the disclosure rules could face up to five years in prison.

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson made clear that the proposals, long pushed for by U.K. lawmakers and transparency campaigners, are explicitly aimed at supporters of the Russian government in the wake of its invasion of Ukraine. Britain, and in particular its major financial hub the City of London, has long been criticized as a relatively safe haven for illicit finance.

Johnson said in a statement accompanying the announcement that the bill would mean President Vladimir Putin’s backers would have “nowhere to hide your ill-gotten gains.”

“We are going faster and harder to tear back the façade that those supporting Putin’s campaign of destruction have been hiding behind for so long,” he added.

The proposed register will apply retrospectively to property bought by people based overseas up to 20 years ago in England and Wales, and since December 2014 in Scotland.

The U.K. government will also bring properties held by trusts into the scope of the existing system of so-called Unexplained Wealth Orders, which, if held up in court, allow British authorities to force disclosure of sources of wealth and potentially seize assets.

The definition of an asset holder will be expanded to stop individuals hiding behind shell companies and foundations, the U.K. government promised.

Law enforcement will also be given more time to review material when investigating unexplained wealth, and cost rules will be reformed to prevent investigators running up substantial legal costs even if they are unsuccessful in these cases.

As Western powers hit Russia with a host of sanctions, the U.K. Treasury is also promising to "intensify" its system of sanctions enforcement.

 The government is also promising detail on plans to require anyone setting up, running, owning or controlling a company in the U.K. to verify their identity with Companies House, which will be given new powers to challenge information. The changes will be introduced in an additional Economic Crime Bill.

Labour’s Shadow Chancellor Rachel Reeves said the opposition party had repeatedly called for the measures, and promised to support the legislation.

She said the government should enact the new laws “in their strongest form to tackle dirty money once and for all.”

Labour urged the government to “also work with European countries on a wider sanctuary arrangement so the U.K. can also do its bit alongside others to help Ukraine."

Johnson announced on Sunday that anyone settled in the U.K. will be able to bring immediate family members to join them from Ukraine, a move he said would benefit "many thousands of people."

Kevin Foster MP: Anger over minister's work visas for refugees comment - BBC News

A row has broken out over a Conservative MP's suggestion that Ukrainian refugees should apply for work visas to get into the UK.

Torbay MP and Home Office minister Kevin Foster tweeted there were a "number of routes" for refugees "not least our seasonal worker scheme".

Shadow Home Secretary Yvette Cooper tweeted her astonishment at the since-deleted comments.

Mr Foster later tweeted that working was "just one of several routes".

Yesterday I pressed Ministers on opening safe routes to sanctuary in Britain for those fleeing war in Ukraine. The Immigration Minister replied suggesting visas to pick fruit on British farms. I like Kevin but this was painfully unaware and unkind. We need safe routes open now 🇺🇦 pic.twitter.com/p0SEm7IECM

Charities have urged the UK to welcome thousands of Ukrainian refugees, following the invasion of their country by Russian forces.

Mr Foster, the Parliamentary Under Secretary of State for immigration, posted his comments in response to Plymouth Sutton and Devonport Labour MP and shadow armed forces minister Luke Pollard on Twitter.

Mr Pollard had raised concerns about UK visa restrictions on refugees from Ukraine and said he was "looking for a route for people fleeing Ukraine who might not have a family link in the UK".

He said: "We have a moral obligation to help them. Will you now change policy to do exactly that?"

Mr Foster replied in the now-deleted post: "As you will be well aware there are a number of routes, not least our seasonal worker scheme you will recall from your Shadow Defra days, which Ukrainians can qualify for, alongside the family route for those with relatives here."

Mr Foster later added: "Hi Luke. It's just one of several routes and we will do more as the PM has made clear."

Mr Pollard responded that the initial tweet was "painfully unaware and unkind" and added: "We need safe routes now."

My God. People are fleeing war in Europe, the like we haven’t seen in generations, in search of swift sanctuary.
Yet the immigration minister says the answer is they should put in an application to pick Britain’s fruit & veg. https://t.co/bQcLOZzSoS
