A Buckingham Palace spokesperson said the King spoke to Sir Keir Starmer, along with holding a joint call with the chair of the National...

From the outside, Adam Britton seemed like a passionate – albeit quiet and nerdy – advocate for animals. Over decades, the 53-year-old built a colourful reputation as one of the world’s leading crocodile experts. He swam with the apex predators in the wild, lent his pet crocodile Smaug to countless films and documentaries, and even hosted Sir David Attenborough at his home in Darwin, Australia; all the while preaching the need for greater respect for the creatures.

A judge has warned that anybody present at a riot will be remanded in custody, even if they were only a “curious observer”. District Judge Francis Rafferty said that someone’s presence at a riot made them involved in the riot as he refused two bail applications. The judge spoke as four men appeared in Belfast magistrates’ court charged in relation to disorder in the city. Cameron Armstrong, 18, from Belfast, was charged with rioting in the Connswater area of east Belfast, which saw “violent disorder, petrol bombs, fireworks and different projectiles thrown at police and extensive damage caused to property”,...

The US Navy's counter-Houthi mission will not be enough on its own to stop the Iran-backed rebels from attacking vulnerable merchant ships, the admiral overseeing operations in the Middle East said this week.Vice Adm. George Wikoff, the commander of US Naval Forces Central Command, said that it will take more than force and firepower to deal with the Houthis. Rather, Washington and its allies must come up with an alternative way to apply pressure on the group."The solution is not going to come at the end of a weapon system," Wikoff said Wednesday at an event hosted by the Center...

No one is talking about how Biden climbed onto the jet after the Americans already got off. Did he think he was getting on Air Force One?

Judge Guy Kearl KC sums up the crimes committed by Jordan Plain, the laws he broke, sentencing him to 8 months in prison "You joined with a pro EDL group chanting and gesticulating in the direction of a counter protest demonstrating against racism" "Your actions were captured on CCTV.. Climbing on a barrier.. Making monkey noises and gestures towards the counter protesters.. You said they looked like monkeys.. You rubbed your lips and shouted rubber lips.. You were standing alongside and others making similar comments" "You then got down from the barrier and imitated the way Muslim people pray, in...

Last year the Republican-controlled state government in Florida passed legislation requiring its public universities to do what are called “post-tenure reviews” on all their tenured professors every five years, as part of an effort to eliminate what Governor Ron DeSantis called “deadweight” and “unproductive tenured faculty.” The bill not only limited the ability of professors to protest termination decisions, it was also aimed at eliminating “diversity, equity, and inclusion” programs across the board. At the University of Florida the first round of tenure review has now produced some startling numbers, literally proving DeSantis’ claims. The report said that, out of...

Vice President Kamala Harris is behind former President Donald Trump in both a recent national poll and one conducted in the key swing state of Georgia. A CNBC/All-America Economic survey of 1,001 U.S. adults shows that Harris is 2 points behind her Republican rival in the 2024 election (48 percent to 46). The results are within the margin of error, and Trump's lead is unchanged from the previous poll in July when President Joe Biden was still in the race (45 percent to 43).Elsewhere, an AARP Research survey of 1,254 likely voters in Georgia showed that Trump is beating Harris...

The doctor who ran against Democratic vice president pick Tim Walz in the Minnesota gubernatorial race two years ago warned voters that the white-haired National Guard veteran is a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” – and even had some advice for JD Vance. “He comes across as everyone’s favorite uncle and jovial but the fact is he can be a pitbull when he needs to be,” Dr. Scott Jensen told The Post of Walz, who was tapped this week as Kamala Harris’ running mate for the November presidential election.

Vice President Harris told protesters who interrupted her campaign rally in Phoenix that the time is now for a cease-fire deal to get done in the war between Israel and Gaza. A group of pro-Palestinian demonstrators shouted out “free, free Palestine” during Harris’s Arizona event, the second time this week she has been interrupted by individuals upset about the war in Gaza. “Hold on. Here’s the thing: we are all in here together. I’m told an extraordinary number of folks who are here together because we love our country,” Harris said. “We’re here to fight for our democracy, which includes...

The disorder in Britain began after three girls, ages 6, 7 and 9, were stabbed to death as they took part in a Taylor Swift-themed dance party. In the immediate aftermath, locals in Southport were shocked, angry and looking for someone to blame. In the UK, as in America, the authorities do not just release information about suspects and culprits. They “manage” the release. In Britain, as in America, if there is believed to be a racial component to a crime, the authorities are even more careful about what information comes out. But the British public, like Americans, are used...

Former national security adviser John Bolton said Thursday that former President Trump has trouble differentiating between fact and fiction. “Look, Trump can’t tell the difference between what’s true and what’s false,” Bolton said on CNN’s “The Source with Kaitlan Collins.” “It’s not that he lies a lot, because to lie, you have to do it consciously. He just can’t tell the difference.”

London's Metropolitan Police chief warned that officials will not only be cracking down on British citizens for commentary on the riots in the U.K., but on American citizens as well. "We will throw the full force of the law at people. And whether you’re in this country committing crimes on the streets or committing crimes from further afield online, we will come after you," Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rowley told Sky News. Riots have broken out across the United Kingdom in recent days over false rumors spread online that an asylum seeker was responsible for a mass stabbing at...
