A high school where a teacher was fatally stabbed in France has been evacuated over a bomb threat. The attack happened at City School Gambetta-Carnot in the town of Arras in the north of the country on Friday at around 11am. Two other people were injured. The prefecture of the northern Pas-de-Calais region said the decision was made to evacuate the school after police received a bomb threat via its website. A bomb disposal team is on site, the prefecture said, adding that “all precautionary and safety measures” are being taken until the site is cleared. France is on heightened alert against feared terror threats following the stabbing incident in which a teacher, named locally as Dominque Bernard, died. Schools across the country will hold a moment of silence after the teacher was killed and three other people were injured last week in the attack by a former student suspected of Islamic radicalisation. Hours following the attack, Emmanuel Macron visited the school, describing the attack as the result of “barbaric Islamist terrorism”, before praising the killed teacher. “The teacher who was killed had come forward to protect others and had without doubt saved many lives,” he said. Counter-terrorism authorities are investigating Friday’s stabbing, and the suspected assailant and several others are in custody, prosecutors said. The suspect had been under recent surveillance by intelligence services for radicalisation. The prosecutor said the alleged assailant was a former student there and repeatedly shouted “Allahu akbar,” or “God is great”, during the attack. Another teacher and a security guard are in a critical condition with wounds from the stabbing, police said. The counter-terrorism prosecutor said a cleaning worker was also injured.

Fans of The Kardashians are thrilled to have Scott Disick back on screens, mostly for his chaotic one-liners that some viewers have said "carry the show". Well now, Disick, Kourtney Kardashian's ex-partner of 10 years and father of their three children Mason, Penelope and Reign, has expressed a very unique birthday wish for his 40th back in May. On a recent episode of the famed reality show, Disick, who required back surgery as a result of a car accident in August 2022, said it "changed everything" in his life, including his weight and sex life, candidly telling a doctor: "Now I can’t move, so I’m terrible." Khloe Kardashian then asked him whether sex was the motivator for him to complete physical therapy, to which he asked: "Get back on the wagon to f***? No motion to me.” He then shared how a spiritual healer suggested microdosing mushrooms, which he admitted to not being his thing. "I figure better off doing the therapy than getting possibly abused by her," Disick said, seemingly referring to the healer. "So I’m happy to commit to this." Things then took a wild turn, when he brought Khloe into the mix. "And then on my 40th birthday, or something maybe? Me and you?" he joked, to which a confused Khloe hit back: "Me and you, what?" "I don’t know, you heard him," Disick responded. Khloe hilariously shut down his ideas, saying: "You might have bumped your head as well. Maybe you need a brain surgery." "No, but on my 40th birthday maybe I’ll feel better," Disick replied. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
