"Clashes erupted in central Milan as thousands of pro-Palestine activists took to the streets after the City Council voted to maintain the twinning with Tel Aviv. Footage shows protesters waving Palestinian flags and chanting pro-Palestinian slogans. Several attempts were made to breach barriers, and police can be seen using force to push the crowd away from the Milan City Council headquarters. More than 60 police officers reportedly sustained various injuries, and around 10 demonstrators were detained. Protests erupted immediately after the motion was defeated by a vote of 21 against the proposal to nine in favour of it, with six councillors from the Democratic Party abstaining. The motion was tabled by the Greens, supported by a faction of the centre-left Democratic Party (PD) and the electoral list backing PD Mayor Beppe Sala. Similar pro-Palestine rallies have taken place in other Italian cities. In Rome, an estimated 50,000 people participated. The main demand of the protesters is the immediate termination of diplomatic relations between Italy and Israel."

Some artists and audiences are boycotting Boiler Room and other events over its parent company’s links with Israel – creating fierce debate about the best way to protest and how to remain uncompromised Those attending Boiler Room’s two-day festival in London’s Burgess Park in August may have noticed a troubling message spray-painted on the site’s perimeter fence: “Boiler Room is owned by Israeli arms investors.” In nearby Brockwell Park, which hosted Field Day, Cross the Tracks and Mighty Hoopla – three festivals belonging to the same group as Boiler Room – graffiti depicted a bomb with the letters “KKR” emblazoned on it. In June 2024, the controversial private equity giant KKR acquired Superstruct Entertainment, the company that owns these four festivals and tens of others, many of which were the subjects of boycotts by artists this summer. That’s because KKR has considerable business interests in Israel, including investments in Axel Springer SE, a German media company that runs classified ads for housing developments in the illegally occupied West Bank. Ravers for Palestine, an anonymously run Instagram page that has backed dozens of boycotts, characterised KKR in a recent post as “the beating heart of western capitalism where an insatiable lust for profits and power has no moral boundaries”.

"For a truly unique cafe experience that fuses industrial history with modern indulgence, Lianyungang in Jiangsu welcomes visitors to enjoy coffee deep within a mountain mine, accessed via a thrilling mine cart ride. Footage captured on Sunday shows the Mine Cafe in northeastern China, which offers an adventurous start to the visit. Customers wear helmets and board a miniature mine cart once used by miners navigating the underground tunnels. "One feels a sense of adventure, a spirit of exploration, and is transported back to that year of 1956," explained one customer. Gu Xin, Chief and Planner of Mine Cafe, shared that his vision for the cafe stemmed from a desire to showcase the historical documents of the Jinping Phosphate Mine, the country's first chemical mine and his childhood hometown. "The little train we ride today enters a horizontal tunnel that once served two essential functions during the operational period of the Jinping Phosphate Mine," Gu said explaing, "We’ve transformed this space into a small train ride, allowing visitors to experience the former mining production process first-hand." The journey through the illuminated, rugged passageways heightens anticipation, providing insight into the site’s historical significance. The clatter of the cart on the tracks echoes through the cavern, providing an authentic and thrilling beginning to the visit. At the heart of the mountain lies the destination, a warmly lit cafe carved into the rock, creating a striking contrast between the rugged stone walls and the inviting, modern ambiance inside."

Footage captured at Washington Dulles International Airport shows Trump descending the steps of Air Force One and walking to a waiting vehicle. He is also later seen walking toward the White House. The agreement was signed at a summit in Sharm el-Sheikh on Monday. Trump called the deal a 'historic step' towards peace, adding that new talks could include Iran. Leaders from Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar also signed the declaration. Monday saw the exchange of the final 20 living Hamas hostages for around 2,000 Palestinian prisoners, under phase one of the Gaza peace deal agreed between Israel and Hamas last week.

Footage captured at Washington Dulles International Airport shows Trump descending the steps of Air Force One and walking to a waiting vehicle. He is also later seen walking toward the White House. The agreement, signed at a summit in Sharm el-Sheikh on Monday, ended two years of fighting between Israel and Hamas, which saw tens and thousands of people killed and millions displaced. Trump called the deal a 'historic step' towards peace, adding that new talks could include Iran. Leaders from Egypt, Turkey, and Qatar also signed the declaration. Under the deal, Hamas released the last 20 Israeli hostages, while Israel freed nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners.

Sir Michael Caine (left) and Natalie Dormer (right) A whole host of celebrities including Sir Michael Caine , Natalie Dormer and Alan Shearer are throwing their weight behind a campaign to finally ban smacking children in England. In Wales, Scotland and Jersey, any type of corporal punishment – for example, smacking, hitting, slapping and shaking children – is illegal. Yet in England and Northern Ireland it’s technically legal for a caregiver to discipline a child physically if it’s a “reasonable” punishment. While current child protection laws protect children from physical abuse, campaigners want to see changes in the law to protect children from physical punishment, too. The NSPCC, The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH), and Barnardo’s will deliver an open letter to prime minister Sir Keir Starmer today urging him to end the use of physical punishment against children in England. The letter argues that an outdated and damaging defence in the law still allows a parent or guardian to argue that it is okay to physically harm their child, under the guise of ‘reasonable punishment’. The 287 signatories write: “We believe that it is never ‘reasonable’ to hit a child. It is harm, plain and simple. And the current law sends a dangerous message that striking a child can be excused.” Sir Michael Caine said: “I am proud to sign this letter and support this NSPCC campaign calling for the end of physical punishment on children in England. “Many other countries around the world, including Wales and Scotland, have already changed the law to ensure children have the same protection from being hit as adults. “Now is the moment for England to join them and draw a line under this damaging and harmful practice once and for all.” In 2023, the then-Conservative government rejected calls for physical punishment of children to be fully banned in England. Under the Labour government, campaigners now want to see an amendment to ban smacking in the Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, which is currently making its way through Parliament. In 2022, after Wales banned the smacking of children, then-opposition leader Sir Keir Starmer said that other areas of the UK should follow the country’s example, stating “what it [the ban] does is give children the protection that adults already have, and that is the right thing”. But a Department for Education spokesperson has said while they are now “looking closely” at the legal changes made in Wales and Scotland in relation to reasonable punishment, “we have no plans to legislate at this stage”. “The landmark Children’s Wellbeing and Schools Bill, a key part of our plan for change, represents the most transformative piece of child protection legislation in a generation, including wholesale reform of the children’s social care system and better information sharing between education, health and social workers to stop vulnerable children falling through the cracks,” they added. Critics have previously suggested a law change to ban physical punishment will criminalise parents, but really the main focus is protecting children. If you hit another adult, that is assault – so campaigners are asking: why does this not apply to children? A survey commissioned by the NSPCC previously found more than two-thirds of adults in England believe it’s wrong for parents or carers to physically punish their child, with 58% thinking it was already illegal. New data has also shown that in the past six months alone, contact to the NSPCC Helpline from adults with concerns about the physical punishment of children increased by 40% compared to the same period last year. More than 65 nations worldwide have already legislated against the physical punishment of children. Related... When Is It Rude To Ban (Or Bring) Kids As Guests?
