Lewis Siverns, 33, of Farmer Way, Tipton, West Midlands, pleaded not guilty to assaulting an emergency worker, Pc Moroni Cesario, by beating in Westminster borough on 13 September. Between 110,000 and 150,000 people turned out for activist Tommy Robinson's Unite the Kingdom rally on that day, with about 5,000 involved in an anti-racism counter-demonstration. There had been several incidents of violent disorder, the majority of which were linked to the Unite the Kingdom event, police said.

It was a narco-feminicide!

The first thing I saw when I arrived at a protest site near the Broadview ICE facility was a pile of stuffed animals and a sign encouraging us to throw them at ICE vehicles while heckling the agents inside. This was not an official function of the protest. The demonstrations that have been held outside and around the Broadview detention facility - the central processing center for ICE's ongoing assault on Chicago, which

Around 10,000 people filled Bratislava's Freedom Square on Tuesday evening to protest the policies of Prime Minister Robert Fico's government, with rallies also taking place in several other cities across Slovakia. The turnout was smaller than last week when 16,000 gathered in the capital. On that occasion, demonstrators also heard four liberal opposition parties announce a cooperation deal. The protests are an extension of the series of demonstrations that began after Fico returned as prime minister in late 2023.

According to an analysis of shutdowns in 11 different African countries by the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) and the African Digital Rights Network (ADRN), each internet blackout deprives millions of citizens and businesses of access to information and communication tools that are essential to their social, economic and political life.

When MQ-9 Predator drones flew over anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles this summer, it was the first time they had been dispatched to monitor demonstrations on U.S. soil since 2020, and their use reflects a change in how the government is choosing to deploy the aircraft once reserved for surveilling the border and war zones.

US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump attended a lavish state dinner at Windsor Castle on Wednesday evening. King Charles opened the banquet, saying in his speech it was his "great pleasure" to host Trump. The King also praised Trump's commitment to finding solutions to wars. The US president hailed the relationship between America and the UK too, saying it was "priceless and eternal." The royal affair was a continuation of the pomp that followed through the day, when the Trumps were personally greeted by the King and the Queen when they arrived in the UK for a historic second state visit.

When Portland gave Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) the green light to open a processing and holding facility in the South Waterfront in 2011, the city set conditions for the agency to operate in the space. Among other requirements, the conditional use permit prohibited ICE from holding detainees at its Portland facility overnight, or for more than 12 hours. Now, Portland leaders say ICE has violated that tenet of its agreement with the city.

By the evening, the crowd had swelled to around 500 people and the protest had moved to the downtown Santa Ana area. Officers with the Santa Ana Police Department formed a skirmish line. Tran watched from Sasscer Park, around 30 feet away from the main crowd, as tensions rose. Police suddenly cleared the crowd with "barrages of rubber bullets, pepper balls, flash bangs, tear gas," Tran said, without warning or apparent provocation.

"Did you see what happened in Nepal?" Mehdi asked his friends gathered early this Wednesday morning alongside hundreds of other demonstrators outside an east Paris hospital where healthcare workers are on strike. He was referring to the protesters who set fire to the Nepalese parliament and forced the resignation of the country's prime minister. The analogy was lost on nobody. The French, too, are exhausted by a political system stretched to its limits.

The worst-managed Grand Tour in recent cycling history ended in a fittingly ramshackle manner on Sunday, with the final stage of the Vuelta a España canceled due to overwhelming anti-genocide protests and no official podium ceremony for the riders who had just destroyed their legs for three weeks. Instead Visma put together a makeshift podium composed of three coolers with numbers Sharpied onto them in front of an official Vuelta banner duct-taped to a van.

Public order policing doesn't end when the event is over and since Saturday, our teams have been working to identify those involved in any criminality. Our post-event investigation is ongoing and officers have trawled through hundreds of hours of CCTV footage and continue to review evidence to help with enquiries. We have identified a number of people we want to speak to in connection with a range of offences and we are asking for the public's help to track them down.
