With the summer riots still fresh in the nation's memory, the Prime Minister said the plans will show offenders they cannot get away with paying "the bare minimum".
Tunisia, the prime mover of the Arab Spring, had its first democratic outcome: Last weekend, this small Arab nation held free and fair elections, which had been only a dream under the tyranny of its former dictator, the all-secular Zine El Abidine Ben Ali.
Moreover, the winner turned out to be the Islamic-inspired party that the same Ben Ali brutally suppressed for decades: the Renaissance Party, or, with its original name, Ennahda.

Zayd lbn Arqam (RA) relates that the Companions (ra) asked, "O Rasulullah! (Saw) What is Qurbani?" He replied, "It is the sunnah of your father lbraheem (as)." They asked again, "What benefit do we get from it?" He answered, "A reward for every hair (of the sacrificed animal)." "And (what reward is there for animals with) wool, 0 Rasoolullah (Saw)?" they asked. "A reward", he said, "for every fibre of the wool.", (Ibne Majah)
Question:
Last year I cut my hair on the 5th day of Dhul Hijja and then I came to know that we should not cut our hair if we intend to do Qurbānī. So was my qurbānī accepted or not?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
It is desirable for the one who will be sacrificing an animal for qurbānī to avoid cutting their hair or nails until after the animal is slaughtered. Rasulullah salallahu alayhi wasallam said:
“When the ten days (of Dhul Hijjah) begin and a person has an animal for sacrifice which he intends to slaughter, then let him not cut his hair or trim his nails.” (Muslim)
Rasulullah salallahu alayhi wasallam said in another Hadith:
It has been confirmed that Dhul Hijjah will begin tomorrow (on Friday the 28th of October) in the Uk. So the first of the 9 fasts will begin tomorrow on Friday the 29th of October. The day of Arafaat will be on Saturday the 5th of November. So Eid ul Adha should be on Sunday the 6th of November inshallah.
[B][U]These 10 days are the BEST of days![/U][/B]
[B]Rasulullah (Sallahu Alaihi Wassalam) said: [/B][COLOR=red]“On no days is the worship of Allah desired more than in the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah. The fast of each of these days is equal to the fast of a whole year, and the ibaadat (worship) of each of these nights is equal to the ibaadat of laylatul qadr.” [/COLOR][B](Tirmidhi and Ibn Maajah)[/B]
Overweight teenagers in South Yorkshire could be fitted with gastric balloons, if a trial is approved.
Sheffield Children's Hospital said it wanted to use the balloons to help 10 morbidly obese 13 to 18-year-olds lose weight.
Those weighing between 14 and 20 stone (89kg-127kg) will be considered.
Dr Neil Wright from the hospital said the procedure was "intended as an option for young people where other treatments have not been successful".
The hospital said the procedure had been found to be effective for adults but very few studies had been carried out on young people.
The gastric balloon discourages overeating by inflating in the stomach to give the feeling of being full.
Plans for mandatory custodial sentences for 16 and 17-year-olds who threaten others with knives have been unveiled by Justice Secretary Kenneth Clarke.
Convicted teenagers would face a four-month detention and training order.
The proposals form part of a new sentencing regime for the courts.
Also planned is a "two strikes and you're out" policy which would see a person convicted of a second very serious sexual or violent crime get a mandatory life sentence.
