A fire that tore through the Grand Burstin Hotel in Folkestone overnight while guests slept is being treated by police as suspicious. Around 280 people escaped, and Kent detectives have opened an investigation. Fire crews worked to control the blaze, and a local sports hall was opened to shelter affected guests. Separately, the Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey delivered a rallying speech on the first day of the party's autumn conference in Brighton, saying the party must be a firewall against far-right politics. He also defended his leadership and discussed the party's shift to digital media.
Eye surgeons have highlighted a new handheld scanner, designed by a British firm, that could transform the diagnosis and monitoring of serious eye conditions.
