Woman dragged off Southwest Airlines plane says it was motivated by anti-Muslim bias

    A pregnant woman who was forcibly removed from an Southwest Airlines flight has claimed she is a victim of sexism and racial profiling. AnilaDaulatzai, a professor at the Maryland Institute College of Art, was filmed as police dragged off the flight to Los Angeles at Baltimore Washington airport last week Officials from the airline said she was removed after reporting that she had a life-threatening allergy to a pair of dogs that were travelling in the plane's cabin. Ms Daulatzai’s lawyers have denied this.

Man arrested after three year old girl dropped from 30ft bridge into river

    The incident happened on Friday evening when police were called to Astley Bridge in Bolton after reports that a man was standing on the bridge, threatening to drop a child into the river. Specially trained police negotiators were called to the scene and attempted to speak to the man. They were unsuccessful in their attempts as the male refused to speak to officers, and the toddler was dropped into the river. The three-year-old was quickly rescued from the water by a police officer already in the water. The child was taken to hospital, to treat her injuries which included a broken wrist. The man fell into the water, which was around a 30-foot drop. He was removed from the river by police officers and taken to hospital for treatment to minor injuries. He was then arrested on...

Shapps has list of Tory MPs calling on May to go

    Former Conservative co-chairman Grant Shapps has prepared a list of Tory MPs who are calling on Theresa May to resign. Speculation has swirled over the Prime Minister's position following her calamity-ridden conference speech on Wednesday and this year's General Election result where the party lost its overall majority. Mr Shapps told Sky News: "As it happened this list has been growing, and this week didn't help. There are five former Cabinet ministers, one former minister, and quite a lot of the backbenchers. We think May is a decent person doing her best but she led us into an election with that result. We're not pointing any fingers. He added that the list was pretty much my initiative, saying: I hold the list myself and I know a number of people on the list have texte...

Anti nuclear campaign ICAN wins 2017 Nobel Peace Prize

    The Norwegian Nobel Committee, warning of a rising risk of nuclear war, awarded the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize on Friday to a little-known international campaign group advocating for a ban on nuclear weapons. The International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) describes itself as a coalition of grassroots non-government groups in more than 100 nations. It began in Australia and was officially launched in Vienna in 2007. We live in a world where the risk of nuclear weapons being used is greater than it has been for a long time, said Berit Reiss-Andersen, the leader of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. In July, 122 nations adopted a U.N. Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, although the agreement does not include nuclear-armed states such as the United States, Rus...

Japanese woman dies from overwork after logging 159 hours of overtime in a month

    Japan has again been forced to confront its work culture after labour inspectors ruled that the death of a 31-year-old employee of the country’s public broadcaster, NHK, had been caused by overwork. Miwa Sado, who worked at the broadcaster’s headquarters in Tokyo, logged 159 hours of overtime and took only two days off in the month leading up to her death from heart failure in July 2013. A labour standards office in Tokyo later attributed her death to karoshi (death from overwork) but her case was only made public by her former employer this week. Sado’s death is expected to increase pressure on Japanese authorities to address the large number of deaths attributed to the punishingly long hours expected of many employees. The announcement comes a year after a similar ruling...

The Sexist Bullying of Britain’s Prime Minister Must Stop

    Theresa May has just given one of the most unfortunate and embarrassing speeches ever delivered by a British prime minister to their annual party conference. The toe curling endurance test was interrupted by a comedian’s stunt, a coughing fit, and a sore throat that reduced her voice, at times, to a whisper. While she was speaking, a letter fell from the slogan on the wall behind her as social media commentators rushed to observe: It was an F off for the Tories. The unfortunate series of events which were largely out of her control came at an awful time for a beleaguered leader who has been derided and diminished by members of her own party at a moment when she is fighting to keep hold of her job. We don’t know which unnamed party insiders have briefed the newspapers that ...

Man guilty of showing beheading video to children

    A man who showed a video of a beheading to two young children has been found guilty of spreading terrorist propaganda. Zameer Ghumra brainwashed the two boys, claiming Islamic State were not bad people and asking the children if they wanted to join the terrorist group or help recruit others. He also instructed them to only have Muslim friends. The 38-year-old was found guilty of disseminating terrorist propaganda in the form of a graphic Twitter video on his mobile phone following a trial at Nottingham Crown Court. Ghumra taught the children how to survive a bomb attack and fight with knives, giving them sweets to keep them on-side, the court heard. The jury was told that the children were told they would have to behead people when they arrived in Syria. Ghumra was working...

What the papers say about Theresa May’s conference speech

    The prime minister’s disaster-stricken address in Manchester drew scorn from traditional critics and supporters alike Thursday’s front pages will make agonising reading for Theresa May, as the fallout from her “nightmare” speech to the Conservative party conference continues. Virtually all the broadsheets and the vast majority of the tabloids led with the address, which was overshadowed by a faulty backdrop and coughing fits from the prime minister, who was handed a P45 by a prankster. May will find the reaction from normally supportive elements of the national press particularly concerning, with some papers even suggesting her future in No 10 is now in major doubt. May is on a final warning after the most shambolic conference speech in memory, according to the Times, whic...
