Gangs in London are engaging in a violent league system, where points are awarded based on the severity of crimes such as stabbings and shootings. Detective Constable Faisal El Issaoui highlighted this culture during a recent police operation, which led to over 400 arrests amid escalating violence in south London.
The body of British hiker Alexander Harris, 30, has been recovered following a fall in a ravine on the Musa Ka Musalla mountain in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. He went missing on Saturday after reportedly straying from the trail due to poor visibility.
A 32-year-old man has died following an assault at Liverpool Street Underground station on Sunday night. He was taken to hospital in critical condition and succumbed to his injuries the following day. Jeremiah Maximo, 38, has been remanded in custody and will appear in court.
Thursday’s headlines make for interesting reading. Only four national newspapers lead with the publisher of The Sun, News Group Newspapers (NGM), apology and payout to Prince Harry. It’s little surprise The Sun newspaper itself doesn’t acknowledge the news until page six.
Harry’s lawsuit against NGN is a huge victory with the Murdoch-owned tabloid admitting it engaged in illegal practices to source stories about him.
Of the four newspapers that lead with the story, The Guardian, The i and The Independent note the historical nature of the win, which saw NGN do something they rarely do – apologise. The Daily Telegraph unsurprisingly has a different take. The paper calls it a ‘climb down’ from Harry and lightly suggests he was seeking a bigger payout than what his brother received, questioning why he had all of a sudden struck a deal rather than complete his quest of holding the tabloids to account.
Away from Harry, there is a mixture of mostly domestic news including reports the Royal Navy spotted a Russian “spy ship” in UK waters, various reports of illegal immigrants, ISIS and “fears” over UK security. Several papers also report on the UK economy.
A 12-year-old boy is pictured on many front pages after he was stabbed to death on his way home from school. A 14-year-old boy has been arrested.
The back pages lead with last night’s Champions League matches – and how the English clubs fared. Man City threw away a 2-0 lead to lose 4-2 to PSG. Arsenal won their match, all but securing a place in the knockouts.
