Champions League final: Skirmishes between police and Inter Milan fans at train station
A skirmish between Munich police and Inter Milan fans broke out on the platform of the Universitat subway station in the city around 5.20pm local time.
Munich's U6 line is struggling to deal with the volume of fans travelling from the city out to the Allianz Arena. Supporters of both clubs are getting frustrated at being unable to board trains. We have just witnessed half a dozen police officers in riot helmets with batons chase Italian fans up the escalators at Universitat.
Those fans came back ten minutes later, some of them with metal bars, at least one of which was thrown at the police. They responded with pepper spray. The train is stuck in the station and packed with fans.

Authorities in Germany were initially suspicious of her parents and also speculated that Katrice had wandered unchallenged to the River Lippe and Mr Lee, from Hartlepool, said the case should have been treated as a possible told the programme: "It was a nightmare that I didn't think would still be a nightmare 42 years later.

Footy great David Pocock is applauded for exposing the dangerous double standard Aussie women have to live with while they exercise
Footy legend turned federal MP David Pocock has drawn praise for highlighting a big problem with the advice police gave to women joggers in the wake of two horrible incidents in Canberra lately. The former Wallabies star posted a video to TikTok in which he reacted to officers telling women to 'stay vigilant' on Canberra running trails after a female jogger was allegedly assaulted by a teenage boy last Friday, soon after another woman was allegedly grabbed from behind by a man before breaking free. 'We do remind people that they do need to stay vigilant and our advice is to simply just keep your phone with you if you can,' ACT Policing Detective Acting Superintendent Anthony Brown said afterwards. Pocock, 37, filmed himself hitting back at that advice while out on a bushwalk in Canberra. 'This is one for all the blokes out there,' he began. 'I'm interested, when you're running, what are you thinking about? Wallabies rugby great turned federal MP David Pocock (pictured) has won praise for highlighting how unsafe Aussie women feel while jogging 'Are you listening out, trying to work out what bird's calling, or are you a fellow Queenslander, filthy about State of Origin? 'I don't know, are you thinking about the Roman Empire, maybe? 'One of the things I think you're probably not thinking about is getting sexually assaulted. 'And I think it's such bulls**t that we live in a country where so many are worried about that, are thinking about that when they're out for a run or a walk. 'We've got to do better. I don't know how we solve this but I know as men, one thing we can do is actually talk to our mates about it, talk to someone this weekend about what's created the kind of culture where we have so many women not only fearful, but actually getting assaulted when they're out running.' His words resonated with both men and women. 'Thank you for being an excellent role model. A husband, a dad, an athlete and an advocate for women and men. We need more of you, especially in positions of power,' one commenter wrote. 'There's not a moment we don't think about it. It's exhausting,' another added. 'It's bulls**t that my daughters can't go for a jog with both headphones in and being able to tune out coz they have to be on guard. Thanks for speaking out. It's a genuine thing that men need to talk about,' a third said. 'I'm in Canberra I cut my last run short because a man started following me I haven't been running since. The exercise bike sucks but what else are we supposed to do?' wrote another. Several viewers hailed Pocock with simple messages like 'thank you', 'great video mate' and 'bless you for this'. ACT Police said the teen who allegedly attacked the woman is accused of choking her and striking her to the head as well as stealing her phone. Detective Acting Superintendent Brown said the woman kept running after the alleged assault until she encountered another woman, who called Triple Zero. The woman was taken to Canberra Hospital and treated for minor injuries, and police said they arrested a boy shortly afterwards. The boy was charged with assault occasioning actual bodily harm, act of indecency without consent, robbery and choke a person and render insensible.

Wild reason street preacher is told by cops to move on after walking around the Sydney Opera House: 'Are you going to arrest me?'
Footage has captured the moment police confronted a street preacher for holding a sign with a Bible verse on it outside the Sydney Opera House. Local evangelist Mike McCarthy, 72, shared video of five security guards and two NSW Police officers confronted him on Saturday. The 72-year-old was walking around outside the Opera House with a handheld sign. 'Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. There is no other way to the father but by me. John 14:6,' it read. In the 12-minute clip, shared to his YouTube channel 'Mike with a mic', police urged Mr McCarthy to move away from the area as he was violating a set of bylaws. '[Security] have given you just a simple request to leave the sign over there. They do have bylaws here, governing this area,' one officer said. 'You've refused to comply with them and you've also failed to stop to speak with the security guard. 'Now since then, they've asked you multiple times, and as I understand, because I have dealt with him in the past, they've tried to be reasonable with you.' Mr McCarthy fired back and asked the officer to explain what he has done wrong and which laws he had violated. 'No, you're going to have to tell me what I'm doing wrong or I'm not going anywhere,' he said. 'This is Australia. The Constitution of Australia says I can preach religion anywhere within Australia. 'That's all I'm doing, and I'm not even doing that. I'm just walking around, looking at that.' The officer informed Mr McCarthy he was violating the bylaws governing the Opera House's premises. The bylaw prohibits a person from distributing or displaying 'by oral, visual written, electronic or other means, an advertisement, sign, bill, poster or other promotional material'. 'I'm not interested in bylaws. I'm interested in being free,' Mr McCarthy said. 'What are you going to do, are you going to arrest me?' The officer responded: 'I don't want to. I'm just asking you to leave.' Mr McCarthy replied: 'On principle I'm not going to leave, because I'm an Australian citizen. If I can't walk anywhere in Australia with this sign, there is a problem.' The confrontation ended peacefully after Mr McCarthy walked away with his sign to Circular Quay. NSW Police said no move on direction was issued, however, Mr McCarthy told 2BG host Ben Fordham on Monday that it was 'threatened'. 'I wasn't trying to be difficult, I was just sticking up for my rights and I believe we all should,' he said. The Christian preacher cited the Australian Constitution section 116 outlining the freedom of religion and stipulates that the Commonwealth is prohibited from making laws which prohibit the free exercise of religion. Mr McCarthy explained he did not agree with the bylaws, as section 109 of the constitution stipulates federal law prevails when a conflict arises between federal and state government laws. He told Fordham he was not shocked that security had called the police as it 'happens to us frequently'. 'I was hassled about walking on state-owned land, which I believe it is, for just carrying a sign,' Mr McCarthy said. 'Well, a 72-year-old guy with a sign has got to be a clear and present danger, so we got to shut him down. It's just ridiculous. 'I walk around with this sign everyday. We go everyday out on the street and preach the word of God. We pray with people. That's all we do. 'I took it on principle. I'm not just going to stop. I believe I have a right to do this. I'm not contravening any law that I can see. I'm not stirring up people, I'm not creating havoc, I have no loud speaker. I just had a sign in my hand.' Social media users backed Mr McCarthy, with many questioning why police had stopped him and not hundreds of anti-Israeli protesters in 2023. Protesters, many carrying signs, gathered outside the Opera House when it was going to be lit-up in support of Israel following the Hamas attack in October. 'This man has every right to display his sign and is covered by his and everyone's right to religious expression and freedoms and when you impinge on his rights you are the one breaking the law,' one wrote. A second chimed in: 'What happened to freedom of expression?
