Sergei Skripal's niece has been denied a visa to enter the UK after claiming she would come and take her relatives back to Russia.

Viktoria Skripal had planned to travel to Britain after her uncle Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia were exposed to a chemical agent in Salisbury on March 4.

The UK Home Office said on Friday that Viktoria is not being granted a visa to come to the UK. "We have refused a visitor visa application from Viktoria Skripal on the grounds that her application did not comply with the Immigration Rules," a Home Office spokesman said.

London's crime wave: Senior surgeon says hospitals resemble Afghan war zones

Hospitals in Mayor Sadiq Khan's London resemble those in a war zone, a senior surgeon working to save victims of the capital's surging violent crime wave has said.

The shock comments made Thursday morning come after two more men were killed overnight, a couple of days after another night of violence saw a boy, 16, stabbed to death and a 17-year-old girl shot in a "drive by".

Wednesday night's killings, both in Hackney, East London, brought the death toll from suspected murder in the capital to 50 so far this year, pulling away from New York City, which London overtook at the weekend.

Dr. Mark Griffiths, the lead surgeon at Barts Health NHS Trust in East London, said that knife and gun wounds had moved from a "niche" part of his job to a daily chunk of his workload, and a growing number of victims were "children".

German authorities seek to remove children from anti-Semitic parents

Authorities should be allowed to take children away from parents who express anti-Semitic views, the head of Germany's 2nd largest police union has stated, without elaborating on how or when such measures would be enforced.

"Authorities need to act decisively [against anti-Semitism] including when the aggression comes from migrants," Rainer Wendt, head of the German Police Union (DPoIG) told Augsburger Allgemeine newspaper on Wednesday.

"If children are raised to become anti-Semites we shouldn't be afraid to take them away from their families." He went on to accuse many school administrators of ignoring the problem, saying "they act according to the mantra 'it doesn't exist in my school.'"

"There has also been a tendency not to willingly register anti-Semitism by Muslims - but it needs to be recorded without prejudice so that we can develop effective counter-strategies," Wendt said.

Comment: Pandora's box continues to open. Laws against hate speech, and now just hate alone, are being escalated into draconian policies that can only serve tragic ends. The definitions of 'hate' are easily left open to interpretation. For instance, if someone supports BDS due to Israel's inhuman treatment of the Palestinians, will their children be taken away due to 'anti-Semitism'? This easily opens the doors to the power hungry bullies forcing 'acceptance' of the endless variations of identity politics.

German woman sentenced for murdering newborn babies and keeping them in a freezer for over 10 years

A 46 year-old German woman was sentenced to nine and a half years in prison for the willful homicide of her two newborn babies. She put the babies in a freezer, and kept their bodies there for 10 and 14 years respectively.

The frozen corpses were discovered in January at the woman's apartment in Benndorf, a village of 2,000 residents in eastern Germany, after her partner raised the alarm.

In 2004, her hidden pregnancy resulted in the birth of a baby girl, whom the woman promptly put in a plastic bag that, according to her own statement, she had prepared beforehand. Then, still breathing, the baby was left in the freezer to die.

The same scenario was repeated again four years later, in 2008, after the woman gave birth to a baby boy. The autopsy confirmed both children were born healthy. The woman, who has two other, older children, did not attempt to deny her guilt.

"What I did is serious. I have to be punished for it," she told the court in Halle, where she was prosecuted, Mitteldeutschland Zeitung reported.

Body of woman missing for 50 years found buried under home of cop ex-boyfriend

I'm happy. I'm sad. I'm angry. I want to smack somebody." Such is the reaction of a daughter to confirmation that the body of her mother, missing some 50 years, has been found buried beneath the home of her late boyfriend, a married police officer, per Newsday. After emptying her bank account, 38-year-old Louise Pietrewicz vanished from her family's Long Island farm in October 1966.

Her daughter, Sandy Blampied, was then only 11, reports the Washington Post. "I gave her a hug and a kiss before I left for school, and I bet that was the day he killed her," Blampied now tells the Times Herald-Record of one-time Southold police officer William Boken, who died in 1982. An early suspect, per ABC 7, Boken's conviction for beating his wife landed him in a psychiatric hospital, and no further questioning was done.

#Terror: Twitter suspended over 1 million accounts for terrorism promotion since 2015

Twitter said on Thursday it has suspended over one million accounts for "promotion of terrorism" since 2015, claiming its efforts have begun to make the platform "an undesirable place" to call for violence.

In its latest transparency report, Twitter said it suspended 274,460 accounts between July and December 2017 "for violations related to the promotion of terrorism."

The figure is down 8.4 per cent from the previous reporting period and is the second consecutive decline, a Twitter statement said.

"We continue to see the positive, significant impact of years of hard work making our site an undesirable place for those seeking to promote terrorism, resulting in this type of activity increasingly shifting away from Twitter," said the statement from the messaging platform's public policy team.

Twitter has faced pressure from governments around the world to crack down on jihadists and others calling for violent attacks, while at the same time maintaining an open platform for free speech.

The woman who shot three people at YouTube headquarters in Northern California has been identified as Nasim Aghdam, two law enforcement sources told CNN.

The brother of Nasim Najafi Aghdam worried she might do something dangerous.

The concerns started over the weekend when Aghdam stopped answering her phone, her brother told CNN affiliate KGTV. Then the San Diego resident's car was found more than 700 miles northwest, in Mountain View, California.

"I Googled 'Mountain View,' and it was close to YouTube headquarters. And she had a problem with YouTube," said Aghdam's brother, who did not want to be identified.

So he called the police to say "she went all the way from San Diego, so she might do something."

UK's new 'nanny state' sugar tax is 'counterproductive,' critics say

Fri, 06 Apr 2018 16:05 UTC

A sugar tax on drinks has come into force aiming to tackling Britain's obesity crisis, but critics have branded it "clearly useless," while others have said it's not up to the government to interfere in what people eat or drink.

As part of an anti-obesity drive, from April 6 UK shoppers will have to pay 18p (24 US cents) or 24p more a liter, depending on how much added sugar a drink contains. It prompted some global soft drink companies, such as the manufacturer of the Scottish-revered Irn Bru, to change their recipes to dodge the tax.

While the new measure has been hailed by some as an efficient way of tackling growing obesity, others are outraged. Daniel Pryor of the Adam Smith Institute think tank blasted the "paternalistic" sugar tax, saying: "Our poorly-designed, paternalistic sugary drinks tax will hurt poor people.

British Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson visits UK troops of the NATO Enhanced Forward Presence battle group.

The government is considering the introduction of a 'military ethos' in schools across the UK to help children from deprived backgrounds.

Defence Secretary Gavin Williamson has commissioned MP Robert Goodwill to review the benefits of an education inspired by the 'values and disciplines' of the Armed Forces.

Mr Goodwill will report back to the Ministry of Defence in September on what the impact has been on pupils from schools that already adopt military-style practices.

The Tory MP has already said Armed Forces schools in deprived areas would boost the 'life chances, confidence and self-discipline' of youngsters.

'Some schools may want to be a military academy and make that central to their school,' he said.

Killed: Sohail A. is accused of slitting his daughter Ayesha's throat so violently that she was ''practically beheaded', in an attempt to punish his wife for reporting him to police for domestic violence

A 34-year-old Pakistani asylum seeker allegedly murdered his two-year-old daughter by slashing her throat, a German court heard today.

Sohail A. was described in Hamburg Court as a violent tyrant who terrorised his 32-year-old wife and their two children before allegedly murdering daughter Ayesha in October last year.

Sohail attacked his daughter in the family's flat in Hamburg after his wife Lubna had left to report a domestic violence attack to the police.

She returned to the flat accompanied by several police officers to find her daughter murdered with a bloody knife beside her, and no sign of Sohail.
