I took a road trip from Memphis to New Orleans and gained a new appreciation for Elvis Presley

🎸Damien Gabet for @iPaperTravel

inews.co.uk/inews-lifestyl…
@iPaperTravel 🎞️ The King’s formative years are chronicled in a new biopic by Baz Luhrmann, with a sharp focus on the musical cradle in Memphis, Tennessee – and it features plenty of places that you can still visit today.

#Elvis
@iPaperTravel 📍 🚘 Gabet went on a road trip through the Deep South to get under the skin of The King.

He rides shotgun in a ’55 Cadillac Fleetwood – Elvis’s favourite car – and starts his tour in the still-spinning Sun Studio to learn more about how The King of Rock ’n’ Roll came to be.
📍 🍳 After a calorie-bomb breakfast at the neon-fringed Arcade Diner – where Elvis would eat peanut butter and banana sandwiches – Gabet cruises down musical Beale Street, Memphis’s bluesy Broadway.
📍 🚘 For a proper pilgrimage, Graceland, the mansion that Elvis died in, is essential.

Its theme-park reception area does its best to raze the romance, but suffer that and you’ll be rewarded with a tour around the mad mansion over the road.
📍 🏠 Onwards, eastward and backwards – to Tupelo, Mississippi.

Here you can visit where Elvis was born. The two-room shack still stands and a museum documenting “Elvis the boy” surrounds it.
📍 🚘 Damien Gabet ends in New Orleans, where Elvis shot King Creole.

You can stroll through the antiquity of the French Quarter and bring some of the film’s most memorable scenes to life: singing from a cast-iron balcony on Royal Street and running from foes in Pirate’s Alley.

The Home Office has told an asylum seeker with TB they are going to be moved onto the Bibby Stockholm barge

The doctor treating the migrant is trying to prevent the move and has warned of a “public health catastrophe”

🔴 Exclusive @mollyblackall

trib.al/xSiKcg3
The GP has contacted Home Office officials explaining that in his view the move to the barge would be medically inappropriate

💬 “I feel they are being treated like livestock, only slightly worse, as livestock are prohibited from being transported with active infection”
The GP, who treats over 250 asylum seekers, said he was not consulted by the Home Office on the health of his patients before they received letters notifying them of the move

🔴 The Home Office wouldn't say whether it would proceed with moving someone if infection is detected

“It seems frankly irrational to single out this one app, based not on its technical capabilities but on global geopolitics”

📱 Security experts tell @stokel that TikTok is a drop in the ocean compared to the data collection of big tech in general inews.co.uk/news/tiktok-ba…
@stokel It comes after Cabinet Office minister Oliver Dowden announced a ban on using the shortform video app on official government devices in the House of Commons

📱 Dowden said the UK ban was “a proportionate move based on a specific risk with government devices”
@stokel Similar bans on staff devices have also been announced by

🇪🇺 European Commission
🇨🇦 Canada
🇺🇸 United States

📱🚫 Dozens of US states have also banned employees from using TikTok on any devices issued to them for work

A law that forces water companies to hand over data to campaigners could be scrapped under Government plans for a bonfire of European regulations

🔎 Campaigners say without it, the public would be left in “complete ignorance” of sewage pollution inews.co.uk/news/brexit-bo…
🧵 The Environmental Information Regulations 2004 (EIR) allows the public to request information and data on environmental issues

The law is more broad than the Freedom of Information Act and, crucially, a 2015 court ruling expanded its reach to cover private water companies
The EIR is currently being reviewed by the Government, alongside nearly 2000 other pieces of European legislation

🚨 Under the upcoming Retained EU Law Bill, any European law not explicitly marked for retention will be abolished by default at the end of this year
