Belgium -- A brave judo coach probably saved the lives of several young judo players when a tornado tore through a sports hall at a training camp in Belgium, according to kentnews.co.uk.
The 50-year-old British coach was blown out of the building when the tornado hit. However, he reportedly risked his own life to head back in and rescue those left inside.

Weapon haul
A Belgian tourist travelling from the Philippines has been caught with 17 martial-arts related weapons during a routine baggage check at Melbourne airport.
A customs officer found the items in 33-year-old's luggage yesterday morning. The haul was made up of seven nuchukus, four extendable batons and six knuckledusters painted in an army camouflage pattern.
Spokesman for Customs Matt Wardell said: "He didn't present them to customs officers when he was asked ... It is a serious offence because there is the potential for these weapons to make their way into the community, where they could be used in the commission of crimes."
