73 people killed in Afghanistan after a fuel tanker crashes.

2 busses and a fuel tanker collided together on a main road to the capital, Kabul. 73 people were killed in the accident and 50 people were injured and were taken to hospital. BBC news reports that accidents are common of the main roads as traffic rules are rarely enforced, drivers speed and the conditions of the road are bad. The crash was caused by reckless driving. People near by helped fire fighters to control the situation and help those injured.

This is an important news story because the event could of possibly been prevented if they had stricter road traffic rules. if there were stricter rules then it means that drivers would be less likely to drive recklessly decreasing the amount of accidents that happen. In my opinion I think that the rules should be enforced more as this was a major crash. The fact that the collision involved three large vehicles means that the consequences are going to have a big impact. 73 people lost their lives and it could of been prevented.

A 17-year-old girl thought to have taken ecstasy on a night out has died after suffering an adverse reaction to the drug, police have said.

BBC news reported that a 17 year old girl was taken to hospital after in Trafford taking the drug known as 'Mastercard'. She later died from taking the drug. The police have said that this is a tragic death and that they know that she is not the only one to have taken the drug. The police want people to seek medical attention if they have used this drug. The police are investigating the incident and are trying to find out how the young girl gained possession of the drugs.

The issue with this is that young people are able to get hold of drugs easily and that they don't even know what they are taking and the side effects of them. In my opinion i think the drug laws need to be stricter and the punishments more severe in order to deter people from selling and using drugs.
