Italy's iconic "Lovers' Arch" collapsed into the sea on Valentine's Day due to severe weather, while a new "Silent Hill" game is being developed, inspired by a Scottish fishing village. In other news, six companies linked to Sarah Ferguson are being dissolved, and Canadians are rallying to support Tumbler Ridge after a school shooting. Additionally, concerns are rising in Jordan regarding potential West Bank annexation, according to Al Jazeera.
The "Lovers' Arch," a popular rock formation on Italy's Adriatic coast in the Puglia region, crumbled after days of heavy rain, strong winds, and rough seas, according to Sky News. The collapse, described as an "unwanted Valentine's Day gift" by the mayor of Melendugno, Maurizio Cisternino, has saddened locals and tourists alike. The arch was a well-known spot for marriage proposals.
Meanwhile, the next installment of the "Silent Hill" video game franchise, titled "Silent Hill: Townfall," is being developed by Screen Burn, a Glasgow-based developer. The game's setting, the fictional village of St Amelia, is inspired by the real-life fishing village of St Monans in Fife, Scotland, as reported by the BBC Technology. The survival horror series, published by Konami since 1999, has sold millions of units.
In business news, six companies associated with Sarah Ferguson, the former Duchess of York, are being wound down, according to documents filed with Companies House, as reported by the BBC Business. The director of all six businesses, Ferguson, faces the closure of these companies in ten days unless legal cause is shown to prevent it. The activities of the firms are unclear, although one is related to public relations and another to retail.
In Canada, the community of Tumbler Ridge is receiving an outpouring of support following a school shooting. Jim Caruso, who traveled 700 miles to be there, said, "I wanted to be here to bring some level of comfort... to cry with them," as reported by The Guardian. A makeshift memorial has been growing on the steps of the town hall.
Finally, concerns are escalating in Jordan regarding potential West Bank annexation by Israel. Al Jazeera reported that the notion of Jordan becoming the Palestinian state is now considered an "operational reality" under the current Israeli government. The alarm reached a "fever pitch" following the Israeli cabinet's approval of certain measures.
