London City Airport has been permitted to lift its annual passenger cap by 2.5 million to 9 million by 2031. The airport sits in East London by the River Thames and close to Greenwich, so the expansion should mean quicker access to the heart of the vast UK capital for more travellers. However, the airport can neither exceed its 110,000-flights-per-year limit nor have aircraft land and take off after 12.30 pm on Saturdays, a curfew put in place to address noise-related concerns raised by people living nearby. "As the government has recognised in its decision, rejecting our request to extend our...

Los Angeles (United States) (AFP) - A woman allegedly known as the "Ketamine Queen," who prosecutors say sold "Friends" actor Matthew Perry the drugs that would kill him, didn't look very regal when she appeared in a Los Angeles court this week. If they can prove their case against Jasveen Sangha -- that she made thousands of dollars from the troubled celebrity, selling him ketamine from her North Hollywood drug emporium -- she might never see the outside of prison again. In the meantime, her court appearance in a green Nirvana sweatshirt and baggy sweatpants was a far cry from the party-fille...
