London's newest menace has struck again. The Walkie-Talkie, an unfinished skyscraper in the business district of the city, made the headlines yesterday after glare from the building reportedly melted sections of a Jaguar car. Now the malevolent beam of light has claimed more victims. This time it was the carpet of a barber's shop that suffered a blast from the 'heat ray'. "Even the wood [of the door] is burning and our entire product is melting," complained the owner Ali Akay. "It's not safe." Slates on the doorstep of a nearby cafe have also been "attacked". Local shops are wondering who will be zapped next. Perhaps some kind of giant sun-blocker is in order?

That demand proved too much for US TV presenter Tucker Carlson, who fell asleep while live on air during the Fox News morning show Fox & Friends. Credit must go to his co-hosts, Alisyn Camerota and Clayton Morris, and the show's producers for milking the moment rather than looking to cover it up with an ad break. Only Alisyn's giggles woke up her napping neighbour on the couch, before he shook his head and stretched his way back awake like it was all a dream.
