Protection Of Police And Jews In UK Reviewed

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 17 Januari 2015 | 10.19

Police are reviewing how to strengthen protection of their officers and Jewish communities in the wake of the Paris attacks.

Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner Mark Rowley - Britain's most senior anti-terror officer - revealed chief constables around the country are looking again at how to prevent attacks against those seen as targets for Islamic extremists.

He said there is currently "heightened concern" over the threat to Jewish communities and the "deliberate targeting" of police officers in recent terrorist attacks.

This comes as authorities thwarted an "unprecedented" number of terrorist attacks in the UK over recent months, he revealed.

He said the number of terror arrests also rose by a third last year.

"The global picture of terrorist activity does give us heightened concern about the risk to the Jewish community in the UK," he said.

"We are seeing continuing anti-Semitic rhetoric from extremists and attacks on this community in France and elsewhere.

"In addition to our existing security measures, we are in dialogue with Jewish Community leaders about further actions that we will be taking, including more patrols in key areas.

"We remain alert to the vulnerabilities of other communities. Where we do have particular concerns, we make these known to those involved.

"For example, we continue to be alive to those who want to exploit the current situation and create fear in our Muslim communities, with whom we work closely, to offer our protection and reassurance.

"We are also considering what further measures we might put in place to enhance the security of police officers, given some of the deliberate targeting of the police we have seen in a number of countries across Europe and the world.

"Chief constables across the country are reviewing how to strengthen the protection of their officers from such attacks.

"Our men and women on the frontline are used to confronting risk and danger and are well-trained in how to protect the public and themselves."

Sky News Crime Correspondent Martin Brunt said Mr Rowley was taking the opportunity to remind people "what the police are doing and what more they're having to do".

He said: "Clearly after the attack on a Jewish supermarket in Paris, he says that police are talking to that community or those communities to see how they can improve their security - he says one thing is to have more patrols in key areas."

UK Set To Shiver As Cold Weather Snap Bites

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 16 Januari 2015 | 10.19

The Met Office has issued a level three cold weather alert for much of the UK, with warnings of plummeting temperatures, snow and ice.

Amber watch levels are in place for northeast and northwest England, as well as Yorkshire and the Humber as temperatures are set to fall from from Friday into the weekend.

"Be aware" warnings for ice and snow are also in place across Wales, the West Midlands, northwest, and west and northwest Scotland.

The Met Office said increasingly cold air will spread from the northwest overnight on Thursday, with showers turning wintry. It warned that vulnerable people would be put at risk by the cold and said services could be disrupted.

Dr Angie Bone of  Public Health England's extreme events team urged people to help vulnerable family and friends to keep warm.

"Cold does kill, even in places where the temperatures aren't at their lowest. Most of our advice on keeping warm in cold weather may seem like common sense, but it's important that we make the point that people should think about how cold can affect them.

"Our advice is that when indoors, have plenty of warm food and drinks to stay warm and try to maintain indoor temperatures to at least 18C, particularly if you are not mobile, have long-term illness or are 65 or over."

Over the weekend, a northerly airstream will bring frost and ice for many parts.

It comes after a van driver died when a tree fell on top of his vehicle in Co Antrim and a three-year-old child and an elderly woman were among three injured when a pallet was blown from a lorry in east Belfast during strong winds.

Winds of 101mph were reported in Great Dunsell, Cumbria - the highest in the UK - while other exposed areas also saw speeds of above 70mph.

PM: Terrorists Must Be Denied 'Safe Space'

By Sophy Ridge, Political Correspondent

David Cameron has said terrorists should be denied a "safe space" to communicate with each other ahead of talks in the US.

The Prime Minister, who is in Washington to meet President Obama and discuss the need to intercept internet communications, said there was a "broad agreement" between the US and UK.

An unprecedented amount of intelligence co-operation and information sharing between the two nations is expected to be announced at the talks.

He said: "We shouldn't leave a safe space in which terrorists can communicate with each other.

"There is a broad agreement that we need to have powers, in extremis, to intercept communications between terrorists. That is what America does today. It is what Britain does today.

"We share the intelligence and information between us and this has saved countless lives, not just in Britain and America but in other countries as well.

"We must go on sharing that information, both acting under our own legal systems, the legal system in America is different to the one here."

Earlier this week, Mr Cameron said he wanted to give the security services access to encrypted communications online, which are used by social media companies such as WhatsApp and Snapchat.

However, reservations were voiced in the US.

Andrew McLaughlin, former internet adviser to President Obama, said: "Slow hand clap for David Cameron, whose proposal to ban encrypted COMMS (leaving UK wide open to hacking, spying etc) is colossally stupid."

A White House spokesman also stressed the need to balance security with a right to privacy, and the importance of keeping a "functioning relationship" with internet companies.

However, Mr Cameron said: "We face the same challenge in Britain and in America.

"We are free countries, free societies where we don't want to interfere with the privacy and civil liberties of our citizens but, in extremis, it has always been necessary, after going through the proper processes, to make sure that if terrorists are talking to each other or communicating with each other and are about to commit an outrage, it's always been necessary to try and intercept that and try to stop those bombs, those attacks, those murders taking place."

Mr Cameron said the British system had "huge safeguards against intrusion" into privacy.

He added: "I believe the British public  will back me when I say that we shouldn't allow terrorists to talk to each other without being able, in extremis, with a warrant from the Home Secretary signed personally by her, to intercept those calls."

Motorists Warned As UK Is Put On Snow Alert

We use cookies to give you the best experience. If you do nothing we'll assume that it's ok.

Drivers have been warned of "treacherous conditions" on the roads with more snow forecast in the coming hours after heavy falls earlier.

It comes after four days of fierce storms which brought winds of more than 100mph and left thousands of properties without power.

The Met Office has upgraded its warning to amber - "be prepared" - across central and southern Scotland, while alerts remain in place for the rest of the country.

Heavy snow showers are expected on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning, with roads, rail and bus travel all likely to be hit.

Network Rail has suspended four services in advance, while the AA said its crews are geared up for a busy 48 hours.

Many other parts of the UK are on snow alert, with frequent blasts of sleet and snow forecast and yellow warnings for Northern Ireland and most of England and Wales overnight.

Sleet And Snow Will Be Followed By High Winds

The next 48 hours could bring some difficult travelling conditions, with the risk of ice and snow and then heavy rain and severe gales.

There will be widespread showers through Tuesday night, bringing the risk of sleet and snow just about anywhere, although coastal areas will see mostly rain.

Heavy snow will fall through the Central Belt, Fife and Perth and Kinross, with 10cm (4ins) or more over the highest ground.

Elsewhere, a covering of snow is possible, even over the higher ground in southern England, whilst 2-5cm (2ins) is likely above 100m (330ft).

A widespread frost will bring the risk of icy stretches on untreated surfaces by dawn.

The showers, lying snow and ice will bring some difficult travelling conditions for the morning rush hour.

The wintry showers will largely become confined to Scotland through Wednesday morning.

Most other places will be dry and sunny by midday, but the far west of the Republic will turn increasingly wet and windy.

A deepening area of low pressure will bring wind and rain eastwards into western Britain through Wednesday afternoon, preceded by a spell of snow over the higher ground of Northern Ireland, northern England and Scotland.

The heavy rain will bring the risk of flooding, as well as standing water and spray on the roads.

During Wednesday afternoon gusts of 50-65mph will develop widely, with 70mph likely around exposed coasts and hills.

The heavy rain will spread to all parts overnight into Thursday and the winds will strengthen further.

The very strong winds will last for much of Thursday, bringing the risk of disruption to transport and power supplies, some structural damage, as well as dangerously large waves around the coasts.

Teen Jailed For 'Sexual And Sadistic' Murder

Teen Jailed For 'Sexual And Sadistic' Murder

We use cookies to give you the best experience. If you do nothing we'll assume that it's ok.

A teenager has been jailed for a minimum of 25 years for the murder of a 14-year-old boy who he met online while playing video games.

Lewis Daynes, 19, befriended Breck Bednar over the internet and lured him to a property in Essex.

It is believed the computer engineer had bound Breck's wrists and ankles with duct tape before stabbing him in the neck.

Following the killing, Daynes took pictures of his victim's body and sent them to online acquaintances before calling police.

The judge, Mrs Justice Cox, said she was "sure this murder was driven by sexual and sadistic motivation", adding that Daynes had "groomed this boy over a lengthy period of time" and had "intended to kill him".

Two months before Breck died, his mother, Lorin LaFave, had called Surrey Police - concerned over Daynes's increasingly controlling online behaviour. The family has now lodged a complaint with the Independent Police Complaints Commission.

Killer's 999 Call: His Throat Was Properly Cut

Killer's 999 Call: His Throat Was Properly Cut

We use cookies to give you the best experience. If you do nothing we'll assume that it's ok.

In a chilling emergency call after tying up and killing Breck Bednar, Lewis Daynes said he needed police and a "forensic team" sent to his home.

The 19-year-old computer engineer calmly went on give his story, even interrupting the operator when she questioned him so he could finish his point.

"My friend and I got into an altercation and I'm the only one who came out alive," he said

Daynes claimed his 14-year-old victim had "picked up a pen-knife and lost control", leaving him with no choice but to act in self-defence.

During the phone call, he calmly said: "I put my arm up to block him from stabbing me and got him to the ground. He got up, I stabbed him once in the back of the neck, I believe somewhere near the brain stem.

"The fight ended with me cutting his throat. He fell face first on my bed. I tried to stop the bleeding, he fell on the floor. His throat was properly cut."

Thousands Around World Show Unity With Paris

We use cookies to give you the best experience. If you do nothing we'll assume that it's ok.

Thousands of people in the UK and around the world joined in solidarity with the French people as they marched or gathered in unity against the Paris attacks.

More than a thousand people gathered in London's Trafalgar Square on Sunday to honour the victims of Islamist attacks in Paris, with many raising pencils to the sky.

The colours of the French flag - the Tricolore - were displayed on several landmarks in the capital including the National Gallery, Tower Bridge and the London Eye.

London Mayor Boris Johnson described the gatherings in London and around the world as "stunning" and deputy prime minister Nick Clegg said there was a "striking dignity" about people coming together spontaneously to "show their quiet disgust at what happened".

French Ambassador to London Sylvie Bermann told Sky News that the events of Sunday were "very important".

PM Set To Discuss Britain's Response To Terror

David Cameron will meet intelligence and security chiefs today to discuss whether further measures are needed to deal with the threat of terror attacks in Britain.

The meeting comes after the Prime Minister joined French President Francois Hollande and world leaders for a rally in Paris to remember the 17 victims of last week's attacks on France.

Speaking to Sky News following the march, Mr Cameron said it was necessary to "ask ourselves how we would respond to this sort of situation" in Britain.

"We've spent a lot of time in the past looking at how we would respond to this kind of marauding firearms attack by people who want to martyr themselves," he said.

"In a free country, there's never any way you can guarantee against an attack and the damage an attack can do.

"But what we do have in Britain is brilliant security and intelligence services, very strong counter-terrorism policing, and a way of co-ordinating the work that they do with special forces and others to make sure that when these things happen, we respond in the best way we possibly can.

"Crucially in recent months, the brilliance of our intelligence services has prevented a number of plots, including to kill police officers. But you can't always guarantee that will happen."

Plans for a new communications data bill in the UK were previously blocked by the Liberal Democrats, but the Conservatives have signalled that they will revive the legislation if they win the May General Election.

Civil liberties campaigners have warned against any attempt to use the Charlie Hebdo attack as a pretext for introducing further surveillance powers in Britain.

Big Brother Watch director Emma Carr said: "It is wholly unacceptable for this tragedy in Paris to be used as a means to call for a return of the snooper's charter.

"It is the wrong solution and would divert resources from focused surveillance operations at a time when the agencies are already struggling to cope with the volume of information available."
