'Shoreham tragedy must force action on water safety — as no parent should have to learn the hard way'

'Shoreham tragedy must force action on water safety — as no parent should have to learn the hard way' Hassan El-Khawas, 55, his partner Zeina Alayn, 37, and their 14-year-old daughter Sara El-Khawas are thought to have gone into the water to swim near Shoreham Fort in Shoreham-by-Sea The deaths of Hossam Al-Khawas, his wife Zeina Alayn and their 14-year-old daughter Sara are almost impossible to comprehend. A family day by the water ended with three lives lost and a six-year-old girl critically ill in hospital. There will be time to establish exactly what happened at Shoreham Harbour and whether the steep seabed or other dangers played a part. But once again, Britain has been confronted by the terrifying speed with which a day by the water can turn into tragedy. That is why the Mirror’s Save Lives for Sam campaign is so important. We are fighting for better water safety education, clearer warnings and stronger protection at places where families swim, paddle and play. Hidden dangers must be identified before more people pay such an unbearable price. No parent should discover the risks only when it is already too late. The grief facing this family is unimaginable. We owe it to them, and to every child near water, to make safety impossible to ignore. Show racism the red card England’s footballers should be remembered for what they did on the pitch, not subjected to vile racist abuse because of the colour of their skin or their faith. Yet research showing attacks doubled on match days and surged tenfold after defeat to Argentina exposes an ugly sickness that still festers around our national game. Jude Bellingham, Kobbie Mainoo, Bukayo Saka and Djed Spence are young men representing their country at the highest level. They deserve pride and support, not hatred from cowards hiding behind social media accounts. Football authorities, social media companies and the police must treat this abuse with the seriousness it deserves. We have heard enough promises about stamping racism out of football. AI can't even talk the talk Artificial intelligence may be able to write essays, diagnose problems and conquer the digital world, but apparently a broad Yorkshire accent remains beyond its reach. Rotherham patients are struggling to make AI receptionist EMMA understand them. Perhaps the machines are not quite ready to take over after all.
