    Teenage friends Carson and Becca are enjoying a night out in Rockaway and Coney Island when they’re joined by a new friend, Julie. The vibe is loose and fun, except that Carson feels a little left out and threatened by Becca’s rapport with Julie, who has the devil-may-care confidence of the archetypal “cool girl.”

    When Julie incites their trio to break into a nearby closed-off pool at night, they encounter trouble, and Carson makes a key decision — and tells a lie — that has dark consequences.

    In response to this deficit, engineers at ISINNOVA have taken a genius step and teamed up with Decathlon and medical experts to convert full-face snorkeling masks into masks that can be hooked up to medical breathing machines that help those infected with the COVID-19 virus.

    Joanne Rust, a Labour councillor at King’s Lynn and West Norfolk Borough Council, was holidaying at the Paradise Park Hotel when she ignored pleas to exit the pool.

    The 53-year-old, who was Labour’s candidate for the North-West Norfolk parliamentary seat in December, flew to the Canary Island with her husband Marcus on Sunday, March 15 – a day after Spain declared a state of emergency.

    Hotel guests were initially permitted to continue using the facilities including swimming pools and restaurants, but could not leave the premises.

    But the following day, as restrictions tightened and guests were told to remain in their rooms, Mrs Rust defied the quarantine and began swimming in one of the pools.
