Security upped at Horse Guards Parade 

Armed soldiers were stationed at Horse Guards Parade yesterday as a security measure.

Senior officers made the decision after a soldier was shot dead in Canada last week outside their parliament, which has led to concerns over London's risk of a terror threat. 

The entrance to Horse Guards Parade is part of Buckingham Palace and open to the public during the day, where hundreds gather to watch the changing of the guard.

The armed soldiers are a visible sign of the increased security in London. 

Scotland Yard are reviewing the Prime Minister's security after a jogger ran into him in Leeds earlier this week.

The Ebola virus is not thought to be a serious threat to the UK at present. 

New study suggests milk could increase risk of heart disease 

Despite long standing popular opinion, a new study suggests milk may not protect our bones from fractures and could even increase our risk of heart disease.

A study carried out by Uppsala University in Sweden found those who drank a lot of milk were no less likely to break a bone than those who consumed less.

Among women, higher milk consumption was linked to an increased risk of hip fractures.

People drinking three or more glasses of milk a day (680ml) were twice as likely to die early than those drinking less than one.

The authors of the study say despite the findings, evidence isn't strong enough to recommend changes to diet.
