text: People have been warned not to take "selfies" in the bad weather, as Storm Barney sweeps across the UK. 
   
   The storm is currently moving across central Ireland, with a gust of 78mph being recorded in the county of Carlow. 
   
   Power cuts, fallen trees and diverted flights have all been reported on Twitter. 
   
   The wind is expected to pick up further over Wales and southern England later on Tuesday, which could affect flights from Gatwick and Heathrow airports. 
   
   Sky News Weather Producer Joanna Robinson said: "Named storm Barney will bring disruptive winds to southern Britain on Tuesday evening, but severe gales over Ireland will ease. 
   
   "Gusts up to 70mph are possible inland, especially for Wales and central England, with higher values likely on the coasts. 
   
   "The worst of the gales over southern Britain will be gone by around midnight and central parts will see showers clearing." 
   
   Natural Resources Wales told Sky News they are expecting "strong onshore winds and "large waves", particularly along the country's west coast. 
   
   Projects delivery manager Scott Squire said: "Due to the relatively low tidal levels at the moment we're only expecting moderate flood impacts, but advising people to be aware of the risk of large waves. 
   
   "We will be monitoring the situation and will be issuing flood alerts and warnings if necessary while our staff ensure flood defences are secure." 
   
   The storm has led to a warning by the Environment Agency and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) that people taking "storm selfies" are putting themselves at risk to capture dramatic moments. 
   
   David Walker, leisure safety manager at RoSPA, said: "We understand the temptation to view powerful tides and weather conditions, however, if you get caught up or swept out to sea in these events your life will be at risk very quickly and our rescue services will also be at great risk." 
   
   Barney is the second storm deemed strong enough to be given its own name after Abigail hit last week. 
   
   The storm is being caused by a series of low pressure systems from the Atlantic. 
   
   There is also a weather warning about heavy rain over the coming days in the north-west of England and Wales. ||||| There were dozens of injuries and fatalities this year as people took extreme risks in search of the edgiest shot. Be careful out there 
   
   If 2013 and 2014 were the years when the selfie craze took hold, then 2015 was when we discovered how dangerous they are. 
   
   In January, three Indian college students were killed by a train when they stopped on the road to Agra and tried to take a photograph of themselves in front of it. A fourth friend survived to tell the tale. In the same month, two men in the Ural mountains died while taking a selfie with a hand grenade – after they had removed the pin. In March, seven young men drowned in Nagpur, India, after capsizing a boat while posing on one side. 
   
   In May, Eri Yunanto was killed when he fell into a crater up Mount Merapi in Java, Indonesia; in Bali a Singaporean tourist, Mohamed Aslam Shahul, was killed when he was swept off a cliff by a wave. In Romania, 18-year-old Anna Ursu was killed while climbing on top of a train for a picture. In Ryazan, Russia – still in May – another teen died doing the same thing.

   In August it was David González Lopez, 32, killed photographing himself during the bull run in Villaseca de la Sagra, Spain. In September, a teenaged Russian urban climbing enthusiast fell from the roof of a nine-storey building. 
   
   Three people in Yellowstone national park in the US were gored by bison while taking selfies too close to them. At least two Americans were taken to hospital after being bitten by rattlesnakes. Then there are the many, many people who accidentally shot themselves while posing with loaded guns. 
   
   In the past, Darwin awards have been declared for deaths like these, attributing the victim’s death to their foolishness, but really, it seems fair to put most down to youthful misadventure – egged on by the promise of a souvenir photograph and an online audience. 
   
   In Russia, selfie deaths are now becoming a matter of national concern. “Since the beginning of the year, we are talking about some hundred cases of injuries for sure,” said Yelena Alexeyeva, an aide to the interior minister – and she was speaking in July. 
   
   As a result, the interior ministry launched a public safety campaign, warning people not to pose in dangerous places, and to keep their wits about them. Perhaps some day, ideally soon, the “safe selfie” lesson will be a fact of life in the world’s schools.

Although initial reports suggested she was taking a selfie at the time, her family subsequently said she was trying to get past other people posing for photographs. ||||| Get daily updates directly to your inbox + Subscribe Thank you for subscribing!

   A man has died after being gored by a bull in a Spanish town while taking a selfie on his mobile phone. 
   
   Spaniard David González Lopez, 32, had his back to the charging beasts while trying to film the bull run and did not see the one which attacked him until it was too late. 
   
   Horrified onlookers watched as he suffered fatal injuries to his neck and thigh in the early hours of Sunday morning. 
   
   A video taken of the fatal attack shows Lopez leaving the protected area to wander into the centre of the Villaseca de la Sagra bull running arena as the animals charge past. 
   
   While he films a collision between two bulls, one of which appeared to fall unconscious, a third bull runs towards him and gores him in the back, tossing him in the air. 
   
   It then rakes and tosses him with its horns as he lies helpless on the ground. 
   
   Witness Juan Jose Losana said: “He looked like a puppet spinning around in the air because he didn’t fall to the ground. 
   
   “He was off-guard and was carried along with the bull. It was an accident.” 
   
   Martin Capilla, the first doctor to try to save him, said: “I told his brother when he went to hospital that he was going with a very serious injury. 
   
   “He was given two litres of blood before he died.” 
   
   The town's mayor, Jesus Hijosa, said: "The young man was on the path of a bull run which he was filming with his mobile phone. 
   
   “A bull surprised him from behind and gored him in the neck.” 
   
   The man was rushed to hospital but died soon after from his injuries. 
   
   Villaseca de la Sagra is one of many towns across Spain that host annual festivals where crowds of people run ahead of a herd of bulls. 
   
   The animals are taunted as they are let loose to run through the streets, an event which animal campaigners say is cruel and should be banned. 
   
   Mr Lopez who lived in nearby Villasequilla, had gone to the bull run with friends. 
   
   Villasequilla mayoress Elena Fernandez said: “Friends have said he never took part in the bull runs, that it was just bad luck he decided to record the video on his mobile and leave the protected area and the bull got him. 
   
   “It’s a tragic and stupid death.” 
   
   The mayor of Villaseca de la Sagra Mr Hijosa warned onlookers to be careful and keep their wits about them to avoid meeting a similar fate. 
   
   “This sends shivers down our spine ... we organise these events as a tradition, so that people can enjoy them, but these things happen,” Hijosa said. 
   
   “Bulls are dangerous animals and when there are a lot of people some don’t pay attention ... you have to have your wits about you.” 
   
   The rest of the festival was immediately suspended. ||||| A schoolboy fell to his death while trying to take an ‘extreme selfie’ from the roof of a nine-story building. 
   
   The teenager, identified only as Andrey R, had climbed to the top of the building in Vologda, Russia, to add the selfie to his collection of photographs in dangerous places. 
   
   But, as he attempted the picture in the fading light of the evening, the boy slipped and was fell. 
   
   Although the fall would have killed him instantly, he landed in bushes which slightly cushioned the impact. 
   
   However, doctors were unable to save him due to his extensive and severe injuries. 
   
   The blonde teen, who was athletic and fit, was in his last year at high school and was thinking of applying to university. 
   
   Story Continues ||||| Image copyright AFP Image caption Selfie warnings will be put in Mumbai's iconic Marine Drive promenade 
   
   Police in the Indian city of Mumbai have identified 15 places where taking selfies "can be dangerous". 
   
   The places include the iconic sea-facing Marine Drive promenade and the popular Girgaum Chowpatty beach, both major tourist attractions. 
   
   The decision was taken after an 18-year-old girl drowned in the sea while taking a selfie last week. 
   
   Last year, authorities imposed a "no selfie zone" at a Hindu festival due to fears they could cause stampedes. 
   
   Signs saying "no selfie zone" can be seen around the two festival sites in the city, which is the capital of Maharashtra state. 
   
   Mumbai police spokesperson Dhananjay Kulkarni told the BBC that the places where taking selfies was risky included Bandra Bandstand, Sion Fort and Worli Fort, all places popular with tourists. 
   
   "The police will now approach the city's municipality to prevent accidents at such spots due to people taking selfies. The municipality may deploy life guards and install warning signs," Mr Kulkarni said. 
   
   The police warning follows Saturday's incident when three girls trying to take a selfie near the sea in the Bandra area fell into the water. 
   
   One of them drowned and her body is yet to be recovered. 
   
   A passerby, 37-year-old Ramesh Walanju, jumped in and helped save the other two girls but was washed away by the choppy waters and his body was found floating in a nearby creek on Monday, AFP said.

   In September a Japanese tourist died after allegedly slipping down the stairs while taking a selfie at the Taj Mahal monument in Agra. 
   
   Last year, the Russian government reportedly launched a campaign to make young people think twice before snapping selfies in risky situations. 
   
   In May, a 21-year-old woman survived accidentally shooting herself in the head while posing for a selfie with a gun in Moscow. There have also been several cases of children being electrocuted while taking selfies on top of railway carriages in Russia.

   A Japanese tourist has died after allegedly slipping down the stairs at India's Taj Mahal monument. 
   
   Eyewitness Sagar Singh told BBC Hindi that the tourist fell while taking a selfie at the Taj Mahal's Royal Gate. 
   
   Police said he lost consciousness immediately after the fall and succumbed to head injuries in hospital. 
   
   The Taj Mahal, a 17th Century mausoleum built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan after his wife's death, attracts about 12,000 visitors a day. 
   
   Agra tourist police officer Sushant Gaur told BBC Hindi that the Japanese tourist had been with three other people when the incident occurred. 
   
   One of his colleagues fractured his leg, after both fell from the staircase of the monument in the afternoon, police said. 
   
   The Japanese embassy has been informed about the death, and an investigation is being conducted into the incident. 
   
   There have been several deaths linked to selfies in recent years. 
   
   Earlier this year, the Russian government reportedly launched a campaign to make young people think twice before snapping selfies in risky situations.

   India may have a selfie-loving prime minister, Narendra Modi, but Indians in general seem to be bad at selfie safety. 
   
   Of at least 27 “selfie related” deaths around the world last year, about half occurred in India, reports show. 
   
   In 2015, Indians taking selfies died while posing in front of an oncoming train, in a boat that tipped over at a picnic, on a cliff that gave way and crumbled into a 60-foot ravine and on the slippery edge of a scenic river canal. Also, in September, a Japanese tourist trying to take a selfie fell down steps at the Taj Mahal, suffering fatal head injuries. 
   
   Mumbai police said this week that they had identified more than a dozen “no-selfie zones” around India’s largest city after three young girls were swept out into the Arabian Sea while taking selfies in a rocky part of the Bandra area Saturday. One of the young women is presumed to have drowned, as did a man who jumped in to save them. 
   
   A Mumbai police spokesman, Dhananjay Kulkarni, told the BBC that police would be asking city officials to take steps to reduce the risk of selfies at popular tourist spots such as the city’s famous Marine Drive, including deploying life guards and posting warning signs. Police would also be giving warnings, authorities said. 
   
   Last year, no-selfie zones were also established in certain areas of the massive Hindu religious gathering called the Kumbh Mela because organizers feared bottlenecks caused by selfie-takers could spark stampedes.
target: – The Washington Post takes a deep dive into the field of selfie research, and it's come up with a disturbing number: The paper says 27 people died while taking selfies in 2015, and in some countries, it's become a major headache. Nearly half of those deaths occurred in India, which has started imposing "no-selfie zones" in places where the activity "can be dangerous," the BBC reports. Russia's not far behind, with the Guardian noting it's become a "matter of national concern" there. "Since the beginning of [2015], we are talking about some hundred cases of injuries for sure," a Russian interior minister aide said last year. And the UK's Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents in November warned locals not to take "storm selfies" during some particularly bad weather, Sky News reports. Some of the more bizarre or notable selfie cases last year: A Japanese tourist suffered fatal head injuries after tumbling down the steps of the Taj Mahal. A man was gored to death in Spain taking a photo during his run with the bulls. A Russian teen plummeted from a nine-story building while trying to bulk up his compilation of pics taken in dangerous places. (By mid-September, more people had died by selfie than shark in 2015.)
