The protest was part of Quds Day, an annual protest against Zionism the current and historical actions of Israeli state. Counter-protests were arranged by supporters of Israel and were attended by British nationalists opposed to the event's link to Lebanese group Hezbollah. A large police presence mostly kept the two groups apart.
The New York-based China Labor Watch released a report at the weekend following a nine-month investigation of working conditions at a factory in the city of Hengyang owned by Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., the company known as Foxconn, which manufactures products for Amazon. It offers the first behind-the-scenes glimpse of how Amazon produces voice-activated speakers that cost as little as $40.
The report, which paints a picture of low pay and intense working conditions, includes the following findings:
Dorsey tweeted a screenshot from his phone that showed a purchase he had made at Chick-fil-A using a mobile application. After a liberal backlash, however, Dorsey apologized for eating at the popular fast food restaurant.
At issue was Chick-fil-A CEO Dan Cathy's 2012 support for defining marriage as between a man and a woman, which he described as "the biblical definition of a family."
Comment: Libtard insanity on full display - even minor infractions of the increasingly authoritarian liberal dogma will trigger SJW hysteria.
Herba, who maintains his innocence and has already confirmed that he will appeal the sentence, was ordered to pay £60,000 ($80,300) damages to Ayling.
The accused, who wore a grey hoodie and jeans in court, was sentenced to 16 years for drugging and kidnapping the mum-of-one. Ayling was lured to a Milan address on the pretext of a bogus modelling job. She was then held hostage for six days at a farmhouse before being released at the British consulate in Milan.
Polish-born Herba, however, insists that the kidnapping was a set-up so the aspiring glamor model could star on reality TV and boost followers of her paid-for profile, through which she sold "spicy"photographs of herself for cash. "She wanted to be a model and she wanted to go on reality TV," he said.
"This Europe is not showing solidarity," Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said, adding that "Italy has to deal with the problem" of illegal human trafficking and migration flows "all by itself."
He pointed out that some EU states shut their borders and refused to co-operate. Italy demands an equal share of migrant intake to be distributed across the bloc, something Conte raised at the G7 meeting this past weekend.
One such book I probably will subject myself to, however, is titled Periphery by the former Israeli spy Yossi Alpher. For all the tediousness one has to wade through in such propagandising dross, there are sometimes a few nuggets of insight - usually given away unintentionally.
Alpher is a former military intelligence officer. Periphery, released earlier this year, is his account of years of desperate Israeli efforts for allies in a region it is inherently alienated from, due to its long record of military aggression against neighbouring countries, the 67-year-long military occupation and dispossession of the Palestinian people.
Mayor of London Sadiq Khan will today meet with Home Secretary Sajid Javid to "discuss how we address the scourge of serious violence across Britain" after the death on Saturday night near Turnpike Lane Tube station in Haringey marks the Metropolitan Police's 74th murder investigation for 2018.
On Friday, a family in a stationary car was robbed at knifepoint on Keats Way, Coulsdon, just before 6pm. Police say the pair made off with a "small quantity of jewellery", cutting a 30-year-old woman's hand as one of the suspects attempted to steal her bracelet.
"It's so good to see so many of you here today, you are all heroes for being here today," said the Freedom Party leader, an outspoken critic of radical Islam who rose to second place in the Dutch national elections last year.
Wilders told the crowd he had come to Britain to tell Robinson's supporters they "will never walk alone" and to "tell the world, and the UK government in particular: Free Tommy Robinson!"
"At this very moment, thousands of people all over the world are demonstrating in front of British embassies, from LA to Sydney, and over half a million people have already signed the petition for Tommy," he told the crowd.
"And all with the one important message: Free Tommy!
"So, Downing Street is just around the corner, so maybe once again, as loud as possible as we can, let them hear our message: Free Tommy Robinson!" he cried, prompting extended chants of 'Oh, Tommy Tommy, Tommy Tommy Tommy Tommy Robinson!' and 'We want Tommy out!'
Comment: More on Robinson's arrest:
- Protests in support of Tommy Robinson continue for second week as UK's mainstream media mobilizes smear campaign
- Morrissey decries 'shocking' treatment of Tommy Robinson and warns about free speech implications in UK court case
- "Working-class hero" Tommy Robinson serving Israel's Yinon Plan for Europe
- Technically, he broke the law, but is Tommy Robinson really in prison because he drew attention to 'grooming gangs'?

Two and a half years ago, in Jan-Feb 2016, I visited Russia for a month. The result was this published book, a literary travel memoir, Return to Moscow. I returned in January-February this year, 2018. I gave a public lecture in the Moscow Museum of Contemporary Russian History.
In the two years since I wrote my book, relations between Russia and the West have become worse. On the other hand, Russian relations with China, and with the whole vast Eurasian region bounded by China, Korea, Japan, the ASEAN countries, India and Pakistan, and westwards through Central Asia as far as Iran, Syria and Turkey, even with Israel, have correspondingly warmed and deepened.
Medine, who is of Algerian descent, is due to play two gigs at the venue in October. The musician has denied that he is an Islamist but caused outcry in the aftermath of the Charlie Hebdo attack because of his song 'Don't Laik,' which includes the lyrics: "Let's crucify the secularists like at Calvary... put fatwas on the heads of these idiots."
He also released an album called 'Jihad' in 2005, but insisted that it is about an internal identity struggle.
The decision to allow the singer to play the venue has drawn severe criticism from several high-profile French politicians. Laurent Wauquiez, the leader of the Republicans, France's largest opposition party, tweeted that it was "sacrilege for the victims" and a "dishonor for France."
