London's big screens to light up for community festivals

LONDON mayor Sadiq Khan has formed a new partnership to celebrate the capital’s major cultural and community festivals, a statement said.

Khan announced a tie-up with digital exhibition space, Outernet London, to showcase and celebrate key moments in the year on giant screens.


The campaign started with Diwali celebrations last Sunday (12) with a message wishing Londoners, and all those celebrating around the world, a happy Diwali.

Celebrations including Chanukah, Christmas, Lunar New Year, St George’s Day, Vaisakhi, Eid and more will be part of this partnership, the statement added.

The company said that each calendar moment will be showcased through beautifully designed graphics.

Khan said, “Our diversity is our greatest strength, so I’m delighted to partner with Outernet to send messages of celebration to our communities on these big screens in central London. Starting with Diwali – London's Diwali celebrations which are some of the largest outside India – we will be marking a wide range of key cultural and community festivals to show that our capital is for everyone, as we build a better London for all.”

Philip O’Ferrall, CEO of Outernet Global said “From the outset, Outernet was designed to be a place for all to come. With this campaign we are proud to work with the mayor and his team to display on our screens a campaign that is all about the inclusivity that makes London such a fantastic place."

6 reasons there is an increase in tiger attacks in the last three years in India

These incidents reflect the growing challenge of managing encounters between people and tigers in India. Official figures cited in a India's Lok Sabha answer on 3 August 2026 recorded 74 deaths from tiger attacks in 2024 and 71 in 2025.

6 reasons there is an increase in tiger attacks in the last three years in India

Highlights:

  • India recorded 74 tiger-attack deaths in 2024 and 71 in 2025.
  • Habitat loss and growing tiger populations are pushing animals closer to human settlements.
  • Farmers, cattle grazers and villagers collecting forest produce face significant risks.
  • Crowds filming tigers can make encounters more dangerous, as incidents at Bandhavgarh and Ranthambore show.
  • Better habitat management, early warnings and responsible wildlife tourism could help reduce human–tiger conflict.

  • The fatal tiger attack at Yorkshire Wildlife Park in Doncaster has highlighted the dangers of close encounters with one of the world’s most powerful predators. The incident has also raised questions about human behaviour around wild animals and the risks of entering their space. While such incidents involving visitors are relatively rare, the threat of human–tiger conflict is a far more frequent concern in India, where dozens of people are killed by tiger attacks every year.
