Police probe 'racially aggravated' abuse over Scout video
Last Wednesday, (August 6) a bus containing Scouts that had travelled down from Scotland to the CRAI Scout Activity Park in Newbridge were the target of 'racially aggravated' abuse. The bus was seen travelling through the Newbridge area and contained children who from non-white ethnicities. The bus, which containing young children and others under 18, was filmed and the footage uploaded to several Newbridge Facebook groups, where it was the target of online abuse. Scout Cymru and Gwent Police were quick to act and removed the video from online platforms. Scout Cymru posted the following statement: 'CRAI Scout Activity Park is an inclusive and welcoming campsite and activity centre in the South Wales Valleys offering a range of outdoor activities for youth and community groups. 'We are aware of a racially aggravated incident targeting under-18s who were leaving after visiting our activity centre and we are working closely with the police to address this situation. 'We are committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of everyone on site and will continue to take immediate and robust action against any behaviour that threatens this.' Addressing the incident Newbridge Councillor Adrian Hussey said: 'We don't need this type of hatred in our society. 'The police are looking into it because we don't want it in our local villages and we don't want it anywhere. All they want to do is divide people and spread hate.'

Chief Superintendent Jason White of Gwent Police said: 'We're aware of several posts responding to a social media video published earlier this week in relation to a visiting Scouts group to Newbridge. 'The video was removed but some of the posts contained inappropriate and offensive language and enquiries into the nature of the posts are ongoing. 'While that work takes place, there are some mistruths circulating on social media which we'd like to correct. 'The group featured in the video were visiting from another part of the country to attend a frequently used Scout camp in Newbridge and many of the people in the video are children. 'The site is not used to house anyone on a permanent basis. The site is used by our dog handlers to train our police dogs when not used for visits and our officers are not guarding the location. 'So, with that in mind, we're asking everyone to consider the tone and sentiment of their language but also for people to think twice about what they might read online and look for trusted voices within our communities. 'If you do have concerns, then you can call us on 101, send us a message on social media, make a report via our website or speak to one of our officers if you see them.'

Nicola Sturgeon still friends with Derek Mackay after scandal
The minister sent a total of 270 messages over Instagram and Facebook between August 2019 and February 2020. The boy was over the age of consent and Mr Mackay broke no laws in the messages he sent, but Ms Sturgeon described them at the time as "unacceptable" and says in her new book they were "inappropriate". Read More: However, in the memoir as quoted in the Scottish Sun, the former First Minister says he remains a friend. Ms Sturgeon writes: "I was back at Bute House when the Sun story went online, late that evening. I felt sick as I read it. 'The messages were published in full and were not open to benign interpretation. "They would be seen by any objective reader as Derek trying to engineer reasons to meet with the boy and to strike up a relationship with him. 'Given the age difference and the power imbalance, it was impossible to describe the exchanges as anything other than inappropriate. I had received and accepted Derek's resignation within the hour. "He had made a serious mistake and, rightly, paid the price. He eventually got his life back on track and, though it would be a few years before I spoke to him again, I still count him as a friend.'
