DAVE WELCOMES MURDERER TO NO 10

The King of Bahrain was welcomed by David Cameron on the steps of Downing Street yesterday at the start of an unofficial visit that was hushed up until the last minute to avoid protests dogging the controversial talks.

As the two leaders sat down, reports emerged from opposition and human rights groups in Bahrain that a six-day-old girl had died after inhaling tear gas. According to Al Wefaq National Islamic Society, the Bahrain Freedom Movement and the Bahrain Centre for Human Rights, Sajida al-Ghurafi turned blue after tear-gas was fired in the suburb of Bilad al-Qadim over the weekend. She later died. The Ministry of Health said the girl died from bacterial meningitis and that her death preceded skirmishes in Bilad al-Qadim.

Video footage posted online showed protesters carrying a tiny coffin draped in the Bahraini flag. Images sent to The Independent by opposition activists show the body of a dark-haired girl wrapped in a white shawl. A second image shows what activists claimed was her father placing his daughter in a grave. The death has yet to be confirmed independently but it has highlighted the tense situation in the Gulf kingdom.

At least 40 people are known to have been killed in clashes with security forces so far this year, including five documented cases of people being tortured to death in custody. Nearly 3,000 people were arrested following the outbreak of protests inspired by the Arab Spring and a further 700 remain in custody.

Welcome to our humble home, your majesty.

Cameron is probably making a deal, now he has made his stance with Europe.
