🇬🇧 One Million Sign Petition to Keep PC Harper's Killers Jailed

Over one million people have signed a petition demanding the government block the early release of the three men convicted in connection with the killing of PC Andrew Harper, the Thames Valley officer dragged to his death in 2019.

The Police Federation condemned the government's decision not to intervene as "outrageous," backing the public campaign to keep the killers behind bars beyond their minimum terms.

Harper, 28 and newly married, died after being dragged by a car driven by teenagers fleeing a quad bike theft in Berkshire. The case prompted widespread calls for tougher sentencing for those who kill police officers.

🇮🇷 Van Hollen: Iran War Is Illegal, Congress Must Cut Funding

Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) has called the U.S. war against Iran an "illegal war," arguing the Trump administration is violating the concurrent War Powers resolution passed by both the House and Senate in June, which directed the president to withdraw U.S. forces from hostilities.

Van Hollen says the administration's claim that a ceasefire reset the 60-day withdrawal clock is invalid, and is calling on Congress to block a requested $70 billion supplemental appropriation. "Not one penny for this illegal war," he said. He also warned that munitions are being expended "at a tremendous and expensive rate," which may constrain the conflict's intensity regardless.

Van Hollen described the War Powers Act as "very damaged," accusing Senate Republicans of acting as "a rubber stamp for Donald Trump." He added that no ceasefire or peace deal is in sight, and that more than 1,200 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since a ceasefire nominally took effect in October 2025.

🇮🇱 Gaza Cancer Deaths Double as Israel Blocks Treatment Travel

Gaza cancer patients are dying at two to three times the pre-war rate, doctors say, as Israel blocks many from travelling abroad for treatment while no local specialist facility remains.

Israel destroyed Gaza's only dedicated cancer hospital last year, saying troops found a Hamas tunnel beneath it. Around 17,000 Gazans with cancer now have no access to chemotherapy or other advanced therapy inside the territory.
