LA police shot my photographer in the head
A pepper ball round thwacks my colleague in the side of the head as we run away from police. A cloud of the irritant fills the air, coating my goggles, followed by a crackle and the glare of flash bangs. 'Go, go, go!' he shouts. Police officers are firing into the crowd protesting against Donald Trump's immigration crackdown in downtown Los Angeles. Once again, reporters appear to be in the crosshairs. Jon Putman, The Telegraph's photographer, took a blow to the head, one of many journalists hit or detained since protests broke out on Friday. Jon was struck in the ear, narrowly avoiding a serious injury. 'If it hit me right in the head it would have knocked me down and I would have been out of commission,' he said. Los Angeles is being heavily militarised. Mr Trump sent in 1,700 of National Guard over the weekend, and a further 700 marines on Monday. There are now more US soldiers here than in Syria. We weren't the only journalists to come under fire amidst the protests on Monday night, which appear to be shrinking in scale but not intensity. There have been more than two dozen attacks on reporters covering the Los Angeles riots in the past few days, with clearly identified members of the press having been shot at point-blank range by police officers. An Australian broadcaster was shot in the leg, a New York Post photographer in the head and a CNN reporter was briefly detained live on air. British photojournalist Nick Stern required emergency surgery after being shot by an explosive round on Saturday. Sergio Olmos, an investigative reporter for the nonprofit news outlet CalMatters, told the Washington Post that he had never seen more non-lethal rounds used at a protest. On Monday evening, the smell of paint lingered in the air in Los Angeles as teenagers spray painted the pavements, walls and bus stops with slogans such as 'fight hate with hate' and 'I'll be here till I decide not to be'. Snipers stationed on the roof of the Federal Building watched through binoculars as protesters climbed traffic lights and revved their motorcycles. A black Cybertruck graffitied with 'f--- ICE' [US Immigration and Customs Enforcement] was filmed driving around the protest with a Mexican flag attached to the back. On Sunday, demonstrators torched self-driving cars, threw Molotov cocktails, fireworks and scooters at police officers. Officers have fired non-lethal rounds into crowds, and in at least one instance were filmed firing pepper ball rounds (small plastic bullets filled with irritant) point blank at a protester before hitting him with batons. In another, ICE officers swept in on a man in a yellow jacket before tackling him to the ground and arresting him, while other protesters were detained, their hands zip-tied behind their backs, and put into police vans. The protests erupted in the city on Friday in response to ICE officers conducting a string of raids as part of Mr Trump's aggressive immigration policies. More than 40 people – said to be day labourers – were targeted at a Home Depot car park and Ambiance Apparel, a clothing manufacturer, in LA's fashion district. The crackdown is the Trump administration's latest test to the limits to his presidential authority to force Democrat-run states to adhere to federal decree, while also attempting to show its might by ordering troops onto the streets. US Marines have been deployed domestically for major disasters such as Hurricane Katrina and the September 11 attacks in 2001, but it is extremely rare for the military to be used for domestic policing. When all the deployed officers arrive, it will mean there are more than 4,000 troops in Los Angeles, more than double the number of US troops in Syria. The news of yet more reinforcements further inflamed tensions between Gavin Newsom, the California governor, and Mr Trump, who continued to publicly attack each other on Monday. Mr Newsom, who has sued the administration to try and block the deployment of marines and troops, accused the Trump administration of mistreating those already in the city, of which only 300 have so far have been deployed. Sharing a picture of troops dressed in fatigues sleeping on the floor, Mr Newsom wrote: 'If anyone is treating our troops disrespectfully, it is you.' He urged the US president to 'grow up' and urged him 'get it over with, arrest me, move on, if you need some head to scalp do it with me'. Justifying the decision to deploy troops to Los Angeles, Kristi Noem, secretary of homeland security, claimed ICE agents were targeting the 'worst of the worst' – criminal illegal immigrants hiding among law-abiding communities. But advocates for immigrants' rights have argued that day labourers being detained outside Home Depot stores suggests otherwise. Julie Flores, 21, wrapped herself in a Mexican flag as she stood on the bonnet of a black car sprayed with the words 'f--- ICE'. The student told The Telegraph the protests 'hit close to home' because her father Jerry Flores, 39, who is originally from Guerrero in Mexico was detained by agents when she was at middle school. 'My grandma would probably not like me being out here... we're out here showing our support, doing the best we can do,' she said. On Monday, Karen Bass, the Los Angeles mayor, condemned the ICE raids, claiming they had brought 'fear and terror' to the streets of Los Angeles and were to blame for the unrest. Yurien, 20, found out ICE agents were targeting her father Mario's work at Ambiance Apparel when he messaged her to tell her he was hiding. 'I said 'OK dad, I love you, don't make any noise… I told him I loved him again. He said 'me too, I love you guys…' and since then, I haven't had communication with him,' she told The Telegraph. Yurien, who did not want to give her last name, said she raced to the workplace in downtown Los Angeles and saw her father, who is from Mexico and has lived in the US for decades, being escorted to a van and driven away. 'I felt devastated, mad, angry... because there was nothing I could do to stop it,' she said, clutching a poster which read 'dad, come back home'. University student Montserrat Arrazola, 22, also saw her father being detained by ICE agents on Friday after she rushed to Ambiance Apparel when she saw the raid was happening on TikTok. Speaking to The Telegraph after a press conference outside the clothing manufacturer on Monday morning, she said: 'I felt powerless. I felt like I had my hands tied because I couldn't do anything.' She has managed to speak to her father, Jorge, who moved to the US from Mexico 'many years ago' on the phone once since then. He said he was okay. 'I have a lot of emotions running through me. I can't really explain,' she said, adding that she had not been to any of the protests that have broken out in response. Joanna Lopez, 17, discovered three of her uncles, who had all moved to the US from Mexico as teenagers, had been detained on Friday after she also saw it unfold on social media. 'I just feel for everybody whose families are being taken away right now,' she said. Ms Lopez, who attended the protest later that day, said she was 'very disappointed' in the people who had turned to violence and vandalism, adding that it portrays the scores of peaceful protesters in a bad light.

Diddy trial latest: Ex-girlfriend 'Jane' reveals basketball themed 'hotel night' nicknames - and says she still loves rapper
Warning: The updates below contain graphic details of alleged sex trafficking. An anonymous former girlfriend and alleged victim of Sean "Diddy" Combs - known only as Jane - is facing cross-examination on day 20 of his trial. 18:37:00 Court is back in session Court has now resumed after lunch, and Jane - which is the pseudonym for an anonymous former girlfriend of Diddy - continues to be cross-examined by the defence. 17:53:11 'Diddy was Michael Jordan': Basketball stars' names used for 'hotel night' pseudonyms Jane says Jane has previously described her part in booking some of the male entertainers or escorts for Diddy's "hotel nights," and on occasion says she objected to having sex with certain men, including one who she said smelled. Going through a list of escorts she used with Diddy, she agrees that Don was "handsome" with blue eyes and Paul was "really nice" with a "warm energy". She agrees that she had a great sexual experience with Paul. She also says the names of Basketball stars were used as "hotel night" nicknames, calling herself Kobe Bryant, Paul was dubbed Shaq after Shaquille O'Neal, and Diddy was called Michael Jordan. She says their collective nickname was the Trifecta, again after the three basketball stars. Jane describes recruiting escorts called Cabral and Anton after watching them on the pornographic website Blacked and contacting them via Instagram. Jane told us yesterday that Cabral later attempted to blackmail her and Diddy over a video which was shot on his phone during a "hotel night" showing him having sex with her. 17:30:17 Jane says she transported drugs for Diddy multiple times Jane says she carried drugs twice for Diddy, and contacted his chief of staff at the time, Kristina Khorram, about how she should pack it in her luggage. While she says she was close to Khorram, she resented the fact that Khorram was always with Diddy, adding: "It was difficult for our relationship. I believe that she had very strong feelings about me which influenced a great deal with how Sean treated me." 17:18:32 'F*** it Friday' was a chance to 'party really hard,' Jane says Discussing their use of drugs together, Jane says she took ecstasy to help her get through "hotel nights" and that Diddy would take it to put him in a good mood when he was "agitated and stressed from the day". She describes a tradition they had called "F*** it Friday" which Jane says is "when he'd let loose and wants to party really hard". Jane says the events would release "pressure from various things in his personal life," adding "we'd party big on Fridays". 16:57:21 'Diddy liked the word voyeurism, I used cuck,' Jane says - as she questions if he was 'bi-curious' Discussing the swinger lifestyle central to Diddy's case, Jane agrees that he was driven by his desires while she was driven by her love for him. In a bid to understand their relationship, Jane says she discovered the word "cuckold" which she describes as "a man being turned on by watching his woman have sex with another man". Jane says the description was "spot on" and gave her a better understanding around Diddy's need for "hotel nights". Jane says she was particularly keen to know what was driving Diddy, and to find a list of reasons. She says one reason she could see was for him to "receive pleasure," adding, "some of the other things were that cucks could have bi-curiosity that they are too scared to do the act themselves". When asked about voyeurism, Jane says: "He liked to use the word voyeurism, I would use the word cuck for myself." 16:29:50 Diddy's drug use led to greying gums and shaky hands, Jane says Jane says she was aware of Diddy's drug habit, and that after just a few dates, she could see he was depressed and had shaky hands. She says that when they were on the plane to the Turks and Caicos Islands, she could see he wasn't taking care of himself. Jane says: "I felt he had jaundice, and his gums were greying from drug use, and his hands were shaking from consuming alcohol." Jane says she encouraged Diddy to go to rehab because he was "overdoing the partying". Jane says that while she noticed "a strong pattern" during their relationship, she "wouldn't label it as a drug pattern". She would now sum it up by saying Diddy was a "really big party guy", she adds. Wanting Diddy to quit the drugs, she says he previously spoke about Ketamine therapy as a way to quit his Xanax habit. 16:14:48 Diddy told me he was polyamorous, Jane says Jane confirms her relationship with Diddy began in late 2020, when she went with him to get drugs. She says she had kept it secret from the father of her child because he did not have a good relationship with Diddy. Jane says Diddy told her he was polyamorous towards the start of the relationship, and says she didn't mind, but admits that as the relationship developed and "emotions grew deeper" she found it hard, particularly when Diddy appeared to be in a monogamous relationship with another woman. She agrees that his ability to easily shift his attentions to another girl hurt his feelings, and she wouldn't hold back in expressing her feelings. Jane says: "I was very colourful. I would call her a hoe. I would use everything. I wanted him to be my man." She says Diddy was also jealous and possessive within the relationship. 15:57:14 Diddy nicknamed Jane 'crack pipe' The court is played a voicemail in which Diddy says he nicknamed Jane "crack pipe" because he had so much fun with her during their trip to the Turks and Caicos Islands. When asked to clarify the nickname, Jane says: "He had an addiction… to my text." Jane replies to Diddy's message, saying: "Crack pipe is so real for the both of us, it's definitely mutual. I just like everything you said. I am so thankful. I had so, so, so much fun, Turks was absolutely incredible, I am so happy." 15:51:11 Dissection of Diddy's financial support for Jane Discussion moves on to financial matters, and Jane says before meeting Diddy she made around $50,000 as an influencer and claimed around $4,700 in child support. She says she also paid her own rent. Jane says that over the course of her relationship with Diddy, he wired her around $150,000 and invested $20,000 in a dress line she launched. When asked by Diddy's lawyer Teny Geragos if she "gravitates to providers," Jane says she finds successful men attractive, adding "my ideal partner is a partner and provider". She says her lease on her home had begun in April 2023, and it had been important for her to "get something bigger" that was also up to Diddy's "taste level". She says privacy also started to become an issue, and she thought that by having the house, they could carry out the "hotel nights" in the privacy of their own home. Jane goes on to describe arguing with Diddy later in the relationship over him using his payment of her rent as "a tool" to control her by asking, "You need three months' rent?" She says she talked back to him, and he later sent her $20,000 unsolicited, with which she bought really nice furniture. In response, Jane sent a grateful text in which she called Diddy "baby", the court hears.

Court no show for teen after man's fingers hacked off in machete and ammonia attack
A judge has ordered the arrest of a 17-year-old boy who failed to answer bail over a machete, hammer and ammonia attack on a man who had two fingers "amputated" in Dublin last month. The youth, who cannot be named because he is a minor, is accused of assault causing harm to a man, aged 29, and burglary in Clondalkin, Dublin, on May 9th. He was granted bail with strict conditions on May 12th at the Dublin Children's Court but following four-week adjournment he did not return for his next scheduled hearing. Advertisement The case had been listed directions from the Director of Public Prosecutions to be outlined. Noting the youth had not turned up, Judge Brendan Toale issued a bench warrant for his arrest. At his bail hearing last month, Garda Charles McPartland submitted that this case was on the more serious end of the scale for these offences and undoubtedly would proceed on indictment to the Circuit Court, which has wider sentencing powers. He alleged that on May 9th, the injured party was pursued by multiple armed males through the Bawnogue area of Clondalkin. Advertisement He attempted to flee from them on foot until he ran into an independent third-party member of the public's home at Kilcronan View. The court heard that while running into the house, the injured man told the owner to ring gardaí and an ambulance, before he was followed into the property by three or four males. A 999 call from a witness alerted gardaí, who also received a second call believed to have been from the victim who seemed to be hyperventilating, the court heard. Garda McPartland said the house owner reported hearing the man inside shouting "leave me alone, leave me alone". Advertisement Objecting to bail, the investigating officer cited the seriousness of the case and the strength of evidence, which was said to have included CCTV footage from the area where the teen and others were looking for the man. Members of the group were alleged to have been carrying a machete or a claw hammer. The contested bail hearing was told that when the man fled into the house, he went into a child's upstairs bedroom where he was "violently assaulted, sustaining life-altering injuries". Judge Toale heard the injured party sustained two fingers, with his thumb and index finger on his left being cut off; his left middle finger was cut to the bone and "hanging on by skin only". Advertisement It was alleged he suffered a severe laceration to the back of his head, three more to his left leg and another three cuts to his left arm. The garda revealed that the injured party also had an acidic liquid, suspected to be ammonia, thrown over him during the assault. He was taken to hospital for immediate medical intervention, including surgery to attempt to re-attach his amputated fingers, which was unsuccessful. An examination of the scene showed blood in the child's room where the man had fled. The door handle on the inside had "snapped", and the outside handle was "bent out of shape", which Garda McPartland asserted was due to the force used to open the door. Advertisement An off-duty nurse who tried to assist the injured man afterwards also needed to go to hospital due to inhalation of airborne ammonia, the court was told. Questioned by defence barrister, Doireann McDonagh, instructed by solicitor Simon Fleming, Garda McPartland said three people had weapons, but the machete caused the injuries described. It was not alleged that the teenager had the machete. Judge Toale noted from the barrister's submission that the youth could face a lengthy period in custody and away from his family, awaiting trial. At the bail hearing his father told the judge he wanted his son to get back into education to complete the Leaving Certificate. Ireland Man's fingers hacked off in machete, hammer and am... Read More Counsel submitted that the teen would obey conditions and that there was no evidence he would be involved in witness intimidation. The judge set bail and ordered him to have no contact with witnesses, to obey an 11pm-6am curfew at his home, stay out of the housing estate where the incident occurred, and attend a youth service or education. The youth was warned that breaking the terms would result in custody. Two men have also been charged and face separate proceedings on connected charges.
