Three off-duty police officers who were dropping their own children at a primary school in Palma de Mallorca tackled and restrained a man caught masturbating in front of hundreds of arriving pupils — sparking a political row over deportation and renewed public anger about the policing of public spaces around schools. The incident unfolded at around 8.45am on Tuesday 26 May outside the Colegio Madre Alberta, a state-assisted school in the Mallorcan capital, as children in infant and primary years arrived for the start of the school day. The suspect, a 30-year-old South American national, was found with his trousers…

A young pianist remained composedly at his keyboard as an aggressive man leaned inches from his face at St Pancras International station, threatening to “hurt” him and claiming possession of the public piano in a confrontation filmed in broad daylight that has gone viral and reignited debate about disorder in central London. The incident, which took place on Thursday morning among Eurostar passengers and tourists at one of Britain’s busiest international transport hubs, was filmed and posted to social media by Natalie, a Norfolk resident who said she had also experienced a threatening encounter at the station that same day.…

A 32-year-old Colombian woman was kidnapped, held captive for more than 72 hours and repeatedly gang-raped under death threats in a derelict squat on the outskirts of Rome, Italian police have confirmed — with five irregular migrants arrested following her escape and a further eleven expelled from the country. The victim, who had been in Italy for only ten days, was approached outside a restaurant on the evening of 19 May by a man who lured her with the offer of a hashish deal. She was forced into a van, stripped of her phone and documents, and taken to a…

A prominent Ukrainian economist has proposed importing up to 450,000 low-skilled migrant workers annually from Southeast Asia and the Middle East to address a crippling labour shortage that threatens to derail the country’s post-war reconstruction — as Ukraine confronts one of the most acute demographic crises in modern European history. Oleg Pendzyn, executive director of Ukraine’s independent Economic Discussion Club and a widely cited commentator on economic policy, argues that the country faces a shortfall of 4.5 million workers needed simply to return the economy to pre-war levels. To fill the gap, he has proposed attracting large numbers of workers…

A young Moscow bar worker has been sentenced to more than three years in a penal colony for posting a video of herself smoking a hookah through a traditional Russian Easter cake — in a case that has drawn international condemnation as a stark illustration of Russia’s increasingly severe enforcement of religious offence laws. Ksenia Belousova, 27, filmed herself on 13 April — the day after Orthodox Easter — using a kulich, the sweet yeast bread that holds deep symbolic significance in Russian Orthodox tradition as a representation of Christ’s resurrection, as a hookah bowl at the Kisski bar in…

A Lebanese-American beauty queen has sparked a fierce debate about identity and patriotism after appearing in a hijab while waving the American flag at a Memorial Day parade in Dearborn, Michigan — one of the largest Arab-American communities in the United States.

Dressed in her pageant sash and wearing a hijab, Khalil waved the Stars and Stripes as…

Footage exclusively obtained by Talk TV shows a migrant attempting to grab a rock to hurl at a photographer documenting small boat crossings from a public beach in northern France — as French police on the scene appeared to focus their attention on the journalist rather than the migrants preparing for an illegal Channel crossing. The video, filmed on 22 May at Wissant beach near Calais by photographer known as The Nowhere Photographer, captures a group of mostly young men gathered on the shoreline ahead of an apparent departure. As the photographer documents the scene from a distance on the…

Restore Britain’s Makerfield candidate Rebecca Shepherd has come under fire after admitting in a Sunday interview that she had not read her own party’s 42-page Energy Security Outlook — handing Reform UK fresh ammunition to argue that the splinter party is costing the right a winnable by-election. Clips from the YouTube interview with Vox Populi circulated rapidly online, with Reform UK supporters seizing on what they described as simplistic and underprepared responses from Shepherd, a 53-year-old local businesswoman from the Wigan area. Critics labelled her a “dud” and renewed their argument that every vote for Restore Britain on 18 June…

Two young women have been filmed confronting a street preacher outside an Islamic dawah stall in what appears to be a town centre location in England, after they alleged he had earlier told them they deserved to be raped because of their clothing — claims he forcefully denied before security officers intervened and escorted the women away. The video, shared widely on X on Sunday 24 May, shows the two women — one wearing shorts, one a crop top — approaching the robed preacher and his security team beside a stall bearing the banner “Islam is your birthright.” The women…

The footage, taken on the night of 22 September 2023, shows LaPere arriving at her building on West Franklin Street after an evening event and entering the lobby. She is then seen noticing Jason Billingsley outside the glass door, appearing to struggle to get in as though he…
