A disqualified driver who mounted a Birmingham pavement and mowed down a husband and wife walking hand in hand — then reversed over the fatally injured man before fleeing the scene — has been jailed for 11 years and three months, as his widow told the court she cries for her husband every day. Harinderpal Athwal, 41, of Tividale, was driving his Vauxhall Corsa along Soho Road in Handsworth at around 11.15am on 16 December 2025 when, for reasons that remain unclear, the vehicle swerved into oncoming traffic and mounted the pavement without braking. CCTV footage captured him hitting both…

A 19-year-old woman has been shot dead outside her family’s home in South Carolina at the end of a week of escalating threats that began when a relative hired a man online to fix a car — culminating in a murder that left her family devastated and a suspect facing a murder charge after a SWAT standoff. Camariya Tidwell was shot and killed at around 11pm on Saturday outside her family’s home on Mount Gallant Road in Rock Hill, York County. She was pronounced dead at the scene. Her family told investigators she was not the intended target of the…

Elon Musk has reignited his public feud with his estranged transgender daughter, posting on his own social media platform X that “the woke mind virus killed my son” — a statement that drew both fierce condemnation and widespread conservative praise, and prompted a characteristically sharp response from Vivian Jenna Wilson herself. The post, published on Sunday 17 May, came in response to a quote-tweet referencing Musk’s longstanding vow to “destroy the woke mind virus.” It is among his most direct and personal formulations yet of a position he has held publicly since at least 2024 — that his daughter’s transition…

A North African asylum seeker with a known criminal history has died after falling from the 17th floor of a building in Germany while attempting to flee police, following a knife attack on an Italian woman. The suspect, described by police as a repeat offender, attacked the woman with a knife before officers were called to the scene. When police cornered him inside the building, he attempted to escape by jumping from the 17th floor, falling to his death. The victim’s condition has not yet been confirmed. The incident is the latest in a series of high-profile violent attacks in…

A Croatian woman has been arrested after video footage showing her repeatedly punching and slamming a man to the ground outside a sports shop in central Zagreb went viral across social media, sparking fierce debate about self-defence, proportionate force and the online misrepresentation of events involving migrants. The man in question was later identified as a Filipino national working in Croatia, though early viral versions of the footage widely and incorrectly identified him as Indian. According to police, the incident took place on 2 May in central Zagreb. The woman was arrested on 13 May in connection with the assault,…

A Polish Member of the European Parliament has had his UK travel authorisation revoked by the Home Office, becoming one of at least seven foreign speakers barred from attending a right-wing rally in London later this week. Dominik Tarczyński, an MEP for Poland’s Law and Justice party, was informed on Monday that his Electronic Travel Authorisation had been cancelled ahead of the so-called “Unite the Kingdom” event, organised by Tommy Robinson and scheduled for 16 May in London. The official communication from the Home Office stated that his presence in the United Kingdom “is not considered to be conducive to…

A Russian man has become an unlikely internet legend after waking up covered head-to-toe in coal dust on a freight train bound for Siberia — with no memory of how he got there and his first priority being to call off work. Dmitry, a young man from Yekaterinburg, had apparently blacked out during a heavy night at a local club before somehow climbing into an open coal freight car and passing out. He woke up bruised, filthy and approximately 330 kilometres from where he started, on a train heading to Tyumen in western Siberia. Rather than panic, he picked up…

Polish police have arrested four Swedish citizens who allegedly robbed a Norwegian tourist at knifepoint in the historic centre of Gdańsk, detaining them at the city’s airport the following day as they prepared to board a flight back to Sweden. The robbery took place on Stągiewna Street on 7 May 2026. The suspects — Mohamad H., 17, Aran Acib A., 23, Jabril H., 18, and Senal Saned O., 19 — allegedly held a knife to the victim’s chest while taking his mobile phone, bank card and PIN. They subsequently used the card to withdraw several thousand Norwegian kroner from ATMs…

More than 570 candidates who centred their local election campaigns on Gaza and other overseas Muslim grievances rather than issues within their council’s remit have won seats across England, according to analysis by the Henry Jackson Society — a finding that has reignited debate about the influence of identity politics and transnational issues on British local democracy. The Henry Jackson Society identified 572 “sectarian-style” candidates elected across 58 councils and two mayoral races, with the figure expected to rise to 574 once Birmingham City Council completes its final count. The breakdown by party shows the Green Party accounting for the…

Ukrainian police have forcibly removed monks and worshippers from a historic Orthodox monastery in the Kyiv region, dragging clergy including the abbot from the church doors as authorities seized the site to convert it into a state museum — in scenes that have shocked religious communities worldwide. The eviction took place on 11 May 2026 at St Michael’s Monastery in Pereyaslav, an 18th-century site belonging to the Ukrainian Orthodox Church under Metropolitan Onufry. Video footage widely shared on X shows officers in tactical gear pushing through a crowd at the monastery gates, physically removing black-robed clergy and laypeople who had…
