    Buses featuring an Arabic phrase ‘Subhan Allah’ which translates as ‘Glory to Allah’ would run across the streets of London in order to raise awareness during the holy month of Ramadan. According to Express, hundreds of buses across Britian would carry the phrase ‘Subhan Allah,’ as part of a campaign by a charity Islamic Relief. The charity organization states that the posters would help raise funds for victims of war and disasters in countries such as Syria, and would also portray Islam in a positive light. “There is a lot of negativity around Muslims. We want to change the perception of Islam. The campaign is about breaking down barriers and challenging misconceptions,” said Islamic Relief’s UK Director, Imran Madden.

    A banned driver led police on a 100mph chase while his girlfriend was in labour next to him - before dumping his car and leaving her in a "hysterical" state, a court heard. Kyle Stogden, 21, ran red lights and mounted grass verges in a bid to get away from police before abandoning the car with his girlfriend still inside.

Germany’s resistance to the policy was reported at the time of the renegotiation, but the former work and pensions secretary detailed what he said took place, claiming the emergency brake was included in a draft of a speech by Cameron hours before it was due to be delivered. “I saw the draft,” he told the S...

    Quitting the European Union would put peace and stability at risk and hamper the fight against terror, David Cameron has warned, as he made the "patriotic case" for a Remain vote. The Prime Minister also insisted there is "safety in numbers" as he argued that staying in the 28-member bloc was crucial in the fight against Islamic State (IS). Leave campaigners have had years to work out what would happen after a Brexit, but have failed to do so, he said. In a speech at the British Museum, he warned that quitting was a reckless and irresponsible economic risk. But Mr Cameron turned his focus on the impact that quitting would have on Britain's safety and international standing. The UK must be strong in Europe if it wants to be strong in the world, the Prime Minister insisted, ...
