Grenfell Tower: ‘Twenty suicide attempts’ since fire

At least 20 survivors and witnesses of the Grenfell Tower fire have attempted suicide, a charity has said.

Silence of Suicide founder Yvette Greenway told the BBC’s Victoria Derbyshire programme the number was based on conversations with those supporting residents.

Justice4Grenfell’s Judy Bolton also said volunteers working with survivors had told her of 20 suicide attempts.

The BBC has been unable to independently verify the figure.

Chelsea and Kensington Council has not yet responded to a request for comment.

‘Alcohol dependency’

Ms Greenway said many residents were unable to get images of the burning tower “out of their minds”.

“There is a lot of alcohol and drug dependency,” she said. “People are feeling isolated.”

Ms Greenway said there was little confidence in “council-led” mental health services.

“We’ve been told workers are going around putting leaflets under hotel doors and not actually speaking to people,” she said.

The Samsung Galaxy S8 has a killer feature nobody’s talking about

Samsung’s Galaxy S8 has a killer feature that nobody’s talking aboutSamsung’s Galaxy S8 is packed full of awesome new features like the new larger screen, face recognition and Bixby AI assistant. But there’s one pretty killer feature on the phone Samsung didn’t bother to mention at its Unpacked event on Wednesday.

Located within the Gallery app’s video section is a little GIF-creation tool that lets you convert a section of any video (even ones you record) into an animated GIF.

Unlike the the Smart Select feature on the Note 7, you don’t need to manually select a specific area on the screen to capture.

Just open up a video within the Gallery app, tap on the GIF icon, and then move the slider along the bottom to select the section of the video you want to convert into a GIF — and that’s it! There are even settings to adjust the speed of the GIF.

I don’t know about you, but this is a friggin’ game-changer for anyone who’s really into GIFs. If my genuine excitement in the video below doesn’t convey how awesome this feature is, nothing will.
