Man charged over cargo ship that crashed into front garden
Remarkable pictures showed just how close the 135m-long vessel came to crashing into Johan Helberg's house near Trondheim, Norway, on Thursday.
Police launched an investigation into the incident and have charged a Ukrainian man in his 30s who was serving as second officer aboard the vessel.
He was one of 16 people on the ship, and has been charged with negligent navigation.
Like Mr Helberg, the officer was asleep.
"The individual charged was the officer on watch at the time of the incident," said a police statement.
"During questioning, he stated that he fell asleep while on duty alone, which led to the vessel running aground."

Police are continuing to investigate whether rules regarding working and resting hours were adhered to on the ship.
No injuries were reported as a result of the crash, and authorities are working on relocating the vessel.

Olympic sprinter Fred Kerley provisionally suspended for whereabouts violation
Sprinter Fred Kerley has been provisionally suspended for an alleged anti-doping whereabouts violation. World champion in the 100m in 2022, Kerley won bronze over the distance at Paris 2024 but could face a two-year ban if the charge is upheld. The Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) announced on Tuesday that the 30-year-old had been charged and provisionally banned. The World Anti-Doping Code states an athlete cannot have a combined three missed three anti-doping tests or filing failures within a 12-month period. In a statement posted on social media, lawyers for Kerley said that their client intends to contest the allegation. '[Kerley] strongly believes that one or more of his alleged missed tests should be set aside either because he was not negligent or because the doping control officer did not do what was reasonable under the circumstances to locate him at his designated location," the statement added. Kerley won silver at the Tokyo Olympics in 2020 and has won two spring relay golds at the Worlds alongside his individual title. He was absent, however, from the US track and field trials for the Tokyo World Championships, writing on X, formerly Twitter, that he was taking time out. "The 100m should be a straight sprint. 2025 has presented many hurdles," Kerley said. "Thanks to all my supporters."

Even $6K in crypto can get you kidnapped, warns expert
Even $6K in crypto can get you kidnapped, warns expert originally appeared on TheStreet. As Bitcoin continues to feel the spotlight due to growing interest from institutional investors, a new threat is putting the lives of crypto owners in danger, like murder. According to Alena Vranova, a founder of a Czech-based security tech company, SatoshiLabs, at least one person gets kidnapped every week for their crypto wallet keys. "Every week, there is a Bitcoiner, at least one in the world, who gets kidnapped, tortured, extorted, and sometimes even worse," Vranova told attendees, as per reports. Vranova also says that the attacks are not just limited to high-profile individuals, but victims with even $6000 have been targeted. She also adds, "We have seen people murdered for $50,000 in crypto." "We currently have more than 80 million Bitcoiner and crypto user identities leaked online; 2.2 million out of those contain home addresses," Vranova said. She explains that these information leaks allow criminals to target victims and their known as '$5 wrench attacks', the perpetrators resort to old tactics of physical force to obtain users' wallet keys, which are crucial to accessing their funds. The term was popularized by a comic that showed how a basic item like a wrench could destroy even the most powerful cryptographic security. Interestingly, just months prior, on May 28, French police arrested over 20 individuals following multiple plots to kidnap crypto entrepreneurs and their families. In the same month, The Wall Street Journal reported five abductions linked to wrench attacks. The trend of one person being kidnapped per week was predicted by Jameson Lopp. Lopp is the Chief Security Officer and co-founder of a self-custody solution called Casa. On May 24, Lopp said, "My prediction that we'll average 1 attack per week this year is looking on target," on X. Experts recommend avoiding sharing cryptocurrency and personal information, using multisig wallets to prevent theft, and storing money in cold storage with keys in many locations to prevent unauthorized access.

'Disturbing' rise in abusive teen relationships - as experts warn of signs to look out for
Marnie's first serious relationship came when she was 16-years-old. Warning: This article contains references to strangulation, coercive control and domestic abuse. She was naturally excited when a former friend became her first boyfriend. But after a whirlwind few months, everything changed with a slow, determined peeling away of her personality. "There was isolation, then it was the phone checking," says Marnie. As a survivor of abuse, we are not using her real name. "When I would go out with my friends or do something, I'd get constant phone calls and messages," she says. "I wouldn't be left alone to sort of enjoy my time with my friends. Sometimes he might turn up there, because I just wasn't trusted to just go and even do something minor like get my nails done." He eventually stopped her from seeing friends, shouted at her unnecessarily, and accused her of looking at other men when they would go out. If she ever had any alone time, he would bombard her with calls and texts; she wasn't allowed to do anything without him knowing where she was. He monitored her phone constantly. "Sometimes I didn't even know someone had messaged me. "My mum maybe messaged to ask me where I was. He would delete the message and put my phone away, so then I wouldn't even have a clue my mum had tried to reach me." The toll of what Marnie experienced was only realised 10 years later when she sought help for frequent panic attacks. She struggled to comprehend the damage her abuser had inflicted when she was diagnosed with PTSD. This is what psychological abuse and coercive control looks like. Young women and girls in the UK are increasingly falling victim, with incidents of spiralling among under-25s. Exclusive data shared with Sky News, gathered by domestic abuse charity Refuge, reveals a disturbing rise in incidents between April 2024 and March 2025. Psychological abuse was the most commonly reported form of harm, affecting 73% of young women and girls. Of those experiencing this form of manipulation, 49% said their perpetrator had threatened to harm them and a further 35% said their abuser had threatened to kill them. Among the 62% of 16-25 year olds surveyed who had reported suffering from physical violence, half of them said they had been strangled or suffocated. Earlier this year, Sky News reported that school children were asking for advice on strangulation, but Kate Lexen, director of services at charity Tender, says children as young as nine are asking about violent pornography and displaying misogynistic behaviour. "What we're doing is preventing what those misogynistic behaviours can then escalate onto," Ms Lexen says. Tender has been running workshops and lessons on healthy relationships in primary and secondary schools and colleges for over 20 years. Children as young as nine 'talking about strangulation' Speaking to Sky News, Ms Lexen says new topics are being brought up in sessions, which practitioners and teachers are adapting to. "We're finding those Year 5 and Year 6 students, so ages 9, 10 and 11, are talking about strangulation, they're talking about attitudes that they've read online and starting to bring in some of those attitudes from some of those misogynistic influencers. "There are ways that they're talking about and to their female teachers. "We're finding that from talking to teachers as well that they are really struggling to work out how to broach these topics with the students that they are working with and how to make that a really safe space and open space to have those conversations in an age-appropriate way, which can be very challenging." Charities like Tender exist to prevent domestic abuse and sexual violence. Ms Lexen says without tackling misogynistic behaviours "early on with effective prevention education" then the repercussions, as the data for under 25s proves, will be "astronomical". At Refuge, it is already evident. Elaha Walizadeh, senior programme manager for children and young people, says the charity has seen a rise in referrals since last year. "We have also seen the dynamics of abuse changing," she adds. "So with psychological abuse being reported, we've seen a rise in that and non-fatal strangulation cases, we've seen a rise in as well. "Our frontline workers are telling us that the young people are telling them usually abuse starts from smaller signs. So things like coercive control, where the perpetrators are stopping them from seeing friends and family. It then builds." Misogyny to violent behaviour might seem like a leap. But experts and survivors are testament to the fact that it is happening.
