  • EXCLUSIVE: FIRST PICTURES OF ‘BUCKINGHAM PALACE’ BUILT BY TAX FRAUDSTER IN PAKISTAN These are the first pictures of a Pakistani ‘Buckingham Palace’ which now lies empty after allegedly being built by a UK fraudster. Previous aerial images of Mohammed Suleman Khan’s palatial property did not show the true extent of the jailed tax dodger’s dreams. Khan was caged in April 2014 for four years over a tax fraud of £450,000. He was sentenced to a further ten years in 2016 for refusing to pay back £2.2million. But it’s nearly 4,000 miles away in the Pakistani town of Ghorgushti, 50 miles from the capital Islamabad, Khan’s ambitions still resonate with the community, many of whom have close links to the UK. There on a two-acre site a huge construction lies mostly deserted complete with high walls and imposing turrets. According to locals in the town – known as ‘mini London’ because of its strong links to the UK – Khan allegedly bought the site for his palace around eight years ago. However, since his jailing the site has remained unfinished and become a ‘no-go area’ with around a dozen armed security guards around it. When police first investigated Khan they uncovered blueprints for a ‘Buckingham Palace’ like building in Pakistan. Plans reportedly showed a cinema, library and servants’ quarters, and private security accommodation. It was estimated the construction would have cost £2.3million, although there has been no official record of ownership. Now the luxurious surroundings of the palace appear remain but without a resident ‘Don’ as locals said Khan was known to inhabit them. One neighbor said: “If you try to get into or jump from the wall they will shoot you, they often do aerial firing at night too.” The compound is closed with wooden panels barring the front gate, it has minaret security towers on each corner, which is not unusual in such big compounds elsewhere in Pakistan. Neighbors estimated there are around 30 to 40 ro

  • EXCLUSIVE: An American-based nuclear shelter company says it has experienced a huge surge in demand for underground backyard bunkers. Ron Hubbard, owner of Atlas Survival Shelters, says orders have doubled this month alone and that inquiries have more than tripled amid mounting fears of a nuclear missile threat from North Korea. Mr Hubbard - who has factories in Los Angeles, Dallas and a steel processing plant in Mexico - says the company typically sells between 40-50 large family shelters a year across the U.S. and between 3-5 a day of the mini units. Prices with installation start at $25,000 for a 8x8ft BombNado mini ‘fallout’ shelter; this is the smallest model available from a more affordable line offered by the company and would home 1-2 people. The BombNado protects against nuclear fallout, chemical or biological contamination, tornadoes, earthquakes and wild fires. For a larger family-size for 6-10 people expect to pay anything from $150,000-$200,000. This size is from the more robust Round Atlas range and provides a true bomb shelter that would withstand an explosion. At the top end is a $1.4million, 6,000 square-foot military, complete with 117 beds. Shelters are typically built underground in a new houses under construction but the company - which has been operating for seven years - also offers a retro-fit where bunkers can be installed by excavating a backyard, or even built into the garage. All shelters are fitted with a NBC air filtration, beds and bathroom facilities and certain models have under-floor storage for supplies. Mr Hubbard, 55, told [insert publication]: ‘The news tomorrow could be the U.S. attacks North Korea. This is the first realistic threat I’ve seen. ‘There’s interest all over the world right now [in nuclear shelters] and calls to our center have more than tripled on a daily basis over the past few weeks. ‘The defense industry is thriving right now because of unstable relations between the U.S. and North Korea and what

Ron Hubbard, owner of Atlas Survival Shelters, says orders have doubled this month alone and that inquiries have more than tripled amid mounting fears of a nuclear missile threat from North Korea. Mr Hubbard - who has factories in Los Angeles, Dallas and a steel processing plant in Mexico - says the company typically sells between 40-50 large family shelters a year across the U.S. and between 3-5 a day of the mini units. Prices with installation start at $25,000 for a 8x8ft BombNado mini ‘fallout’ shelter; this is the smallest model available from a more affordable line offered by the company and would home 1-2 people. The BombNado protects against nuclear fallout, chemical or biological contamination, tornadoes, earthquakes and wild fires. For a larger family-size for 6-10 people expect to pay anything from $150,000-$200,000. This size is from the more robust Round Atlas range and provides a true bomb shelter that would withstand an explosion. At the top end is a $1.4million, 6,000 square-foot military, complete with 117 beds. Shelters are typically built underground in a new houses under construction but the company - which has been operating for seven years - also offers a retro-fit where bunkers can be installed by excavating a backyard, or even built into the garage. All shelters are fitted with a NBC air filtration, beds and bathroom facilities and certain models have under-floor storage for supplies. Mr Hubbard, 55, told [insert publication]: ‘The news tomorrow could be the U.S. attacks North Korea. This is the first realistic threat I’ve seen. ‘There’s interest all over the world right now [in nuclear shelters] and calls to our center have more than tripled on a daily basis over the past few weeks. ‘The defense industry is thriving right now because of unstable relations between the U.S. and North Korea and what

In 1985, sand and coral dominated the Red Sea coast in an area about 30 kilometers (19 miles) northwest of Hurghada, Egypt. Aside from a lone road that ran along the coast, the desert landscape was largely untouched by human activity. Three decades later, development has radically reshaped the coastline.<br />
The construction of El Gouna, a resort town, began in 1989. Building proceeded in waves, with a small cluster of summer holiday homes eventually morphing into a year-round community of about 23,000 people. As of 2015, El Gouna included 16 hotels, some 2,700 villas, 3 marinas, an 18-hole golf course, and hundreds of restaurants and shops.<br />
Developers were not content to simply build on the existing landscape. To give<br />
seaside views and easy access to the water to as many El Gouna residents and guests as possible, builders dredged huge amounts of sand from coastal bays and inlets to sculpt the canals, marinas, hotels, and artificial islands of the resort.<br />
The changes to the coast are evident in this pair of natural-color images acquired by sensors on Landsat satellites. The top image was captured by the Thematic Mapper (TM) on Landsat 5 in 1985; the bottom image was captured by the Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 in 2014.<br />
While El Gouna has pledged to become a carbon neutral town, the resort has come with a cost for the local environment, particularly the coral reef ecosystems that make the area so appealing. Construction of coastal hotels and other infrastructure often involved the destruction of fringing reefs along the coastlines, caused by the dredging or dumping of large amounts of sediment.<br />
While it is difficult to distinguish between reefs, underwater sand, sea grass, and algae in natural-color Landsat imagery, some scientists have used other wavelengths to track changes in corals near El Gouna and neighboring Hurghada. The findings indicate the reefs may be in trouble. According to one study, corals near Hurghada
