In the news

Two of this morning's headlines have caught my attention. The first concerns a centre for the disabled in Japan, where a large number of residents have been knifed to death. The attacker had previously worked at the institution. The other report is of a hostage-taking at a church near Rouen. The hostage-takers have been shot dead, but there is no further information. I shouldn't have read the news this morning. It really is depressing.
