Rashan did not swallow drugs

    An object removed from the throat of a black man who died after a police chase did not contain a controlled substance, according to forensic analysis. Police had said that Rashan Charles had become ill after he was seen trying to swallow an object when he entered a shop in Hackney. The 20-year-old died after being chased and restrained by police on Saturday 22 July, and the Independent Police Complaints Commission has launched an investigation.

Father speaks out who had sex with teacher on flight

    The boy who had sex with his teacher on a flight home from a school trip, did not want her to lose her job as a result of their fling, his father has said.

Fare prices make difference Uber drivers team

    Uber drivers team up in gangs to force higher prices before they pick up passengers, research has revealed. Researchers at the University of Warwick found Uber drivers in London and New York have been tricking the app into thinking there is a shortage of cars in order to raise surge prices. According to the study, seen by the Times, drivers manipulate Uber's algorithm by logging out of the app at the same time, making it think that there is a shortage of cars. Uber raises its fare prices when there is a high demand for vehicles and a short supply of drivers available. Fares are known to increase during peak times such as rush hour, during public events and late at night. Surge pricing can boost the cost of rides to multiple times the normal rate. The study said drivers hav...
