Paris police ignored 'obvious signs of radicalisation' in colleague who used an oyster knife in deadly attack on four officers, including slitting one’s throat, because no-one wanted to make a complaint even though he praised Charlie Hebdo massacre. Mickael Harpon, 45, who left headquarters on Thursday only to return with an oyster knife and a 13-inch kitchen knife, slitting the throat of at least one of his victims, hadn't given 'the slightest reason for alarm,' Christophe Castaner initially claimed. But France's interior minister conceded, 'Obviously, there were failings,' while insisting he would not resign after ferocious calls to step down over the matter. It was revealed yesterday, computer expert Harpon had caused serious concern among colleagues as far back as 2015 when he defended the massacre of 12 people at the Charlie Hebdo newspaper by two brothers vowing allegiance to Al-Qaeda. #WTF?

Vaping can cause cancer, at least in animals, according to a new study. Although it was initially billed as a safer alternative to smoking - which causes 160,000 cancer deaths a year in the US - vaping gave nearly a quarter of mice exposed to e-cigarette vapor for a year lung cancer. E-cigarettes first hit the market about a decade ago, and have since been linked to nearly 20 deaths and over a thousands illnesses in the US, but its too soon for any potential cases of cancer related to the devices to have occurred. The 40 mice were exposed to far more of the 'smoke' than a human would be while vaping, but the New York University (NYU) team says their results capture a process that makes nicotine e-cigs carcinogenic. However, only one of the 17 animals that were exposed to nicotine-free smoke got cancer, suggesting nicotine itself may be the catalyst for disease. 🌬☠️ #vaping
