Our government found out why a large part of our air raid sirens failed to go off during the monthly test.
It is because of the clocks that are running behind because of Kosovo and Serbia.
One of the air raid's hacking preventions works simply by comparing the siren's internal clock with the activation signal's timestamp. If those are more than 3 minutes apart, the sirens won't fire.
Only those sirens that had had their regular checkup (which includes checking the clock time) went off, the clocks of the other sirens were too far behind.
For now, the government has ordered the clocks to be manually checked and corrected more frequently to solve the issue.
EDIT: in other news, it is expected that May will officially blame Russia for the nerve gas attack on Skripal (who is still in critical condition in hospital, along with his daughter).
http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-43367515The police officer who was poisoned when searching the victim's appartment is also still in hospital, and very ill, but at least he has been able to talk to his family.
The cemetary where Skripal's wife and son are buried is under investigation as well, rumour has it that their bodies will be exhumed, and there will be an investigation to see if their death maybe wasn't natural after all.
Minister of Foreign Affairs Boris Johnson has stated that "Russia has become a malignant and disruptive force. They have been launching cyberattacks at UK infrastructure that I increasingly think we should categorize as ... acts of war".
