A poppy seller caught up in a pro-Palestine rally said he was punched and kicked by a mob of protesters. Jim Henderson, who served with the Army in Northern Ireland, was set upon while manning a stall at Edinburgh's Waverley Station. Social media footage shows the 78-year-old – in his distinctive red beret – trying to escape. But the attack ended only when railway staff shoved the demonstrators away.

A hospital in Nottingham, central England, says there is no point in continuing treatment. England's High Court agreed, ruling last month it was in the baby's "best interests" to be taken off of life support, and refusing last week a request...

“Expanding the definition so far beyond the current guidance risks further discouraging individuals and groups from legitimately exercising their right to free speech, while allowing the government to crack down on community groups, charities or faith groups they disagree with.” Martin Bright, editor-at-large, Index on Censorship, added: “This is an unwarranted attack on freedom of expression and would potentially criminalise every student radical and revolutionary dissident. It has never been the British way to arrest people for thought crime.”

This is the second time Adams’ campaign has faced scrutiny for funneling donations through straw donors. On Thursday, the FBI searched the home of Brianna Suggs, Adams’ chief fundraiser, as part of the investigation. The search warrant suggests that the campaign may have received illegal foreign campaign contributions from the Turkish government and Turkish nationals, disguised as donations from US donors who had not actually given their own money. In July, six men were indicted in Manhattan...

Have a lot of stuff I need to do around the house and in the garage. I was already struggling with it getting dark early, but the time change has made it worse. I have to be up around 7:30am for work. It's dark now by 6pm and I seem to be significantly affected by that these days (in my mid-50s). I potentially have six hours every evening after work before I have to hit the sack where I could get a lot done, but as soon as it gets dark, I'm zonked. I end up puttering in front of...

State Representative Barbara Freiberg (R) is seeking re-election in the House of Representatives and her opponent in the runoff is not your standard Democrat. Freiberg says she’s running as a somewhat moderate Republican while her Democrat opponent, Steve Myers, says he’s a conservative. “This makes it one of the most interesting races in the state actually,” said Myers on Monday. Myers has run for other positions in the past like mayor and judge, only he ran in those races as a Republican. This time, he says he’s switching parties as part of his strategy. “The labels mean absolutely nothing. It...

He previously had not ruled out Ukraine holding a presidential contest next year, though elections are currently suspended in the country under martial law. And finally, the waves of any politically divisive things must stop,” he said Monday. “We must realize...
