Car flips onto roof after smashing into Piccadilly Circus roundabout leaving two injured
A car has crashed into the Piccadilly Circus roundabout, leaving two people injured and causing significant disruption at the busy London landmark. Emergency services rushed to the scene in the early hours of Sunday, June 29, after reports that a car had ploughed into the famous central London junction. Images from the scene show the vehicle overturned and resting on its roof, apparently having collided directly with the iconic fountain at the roundabout's centre. All roads leading to Piccadilly Circus have been closed, and the nearby Tube station has been partially shut due to the incident. Two people were treated at the scene by paramedics from the London Ambulance Service. A spokesperson said: 'Our first paramedic arrived on scene in less than four minutes. We treated two people. We took one patient to a major trauma centre and the other patient to a local hospital.' A police investigation into the collision is ongoing, and a substantial police presence remains at the site as enquiries continue.

UK police studying Glastonbury performances after anti-Israel chants
GLASTONBURY, England (Reuters) -British police said they were considering whether to launch an investigation after performers at Glastonbury Festival made anti-Israel comments during their shows. "We are aware of the comments made by acts on the West Holts Stage at Glastonbury Festival this afternoon," Avon and Somerset Police, in western England, said on X late on Saturday. Irish hip-hop group Kneecap and punk duo Bob Vylan made anti-Israeli chants in separate shows on the West Holts stage on Saturday. One of the members of Bob Vylan chanted "Death, death, to the IDF" in a reference to the Israel Defense Forces. "Video evidence will be assessed by officers to determine whether any offences may have been committed that would require a criminal investigation," the police statement said. The Israeli Embassy in Britain said it was "deeply disturbed by the inflammatory and hateful rhetoric expressed on stage at the Glastonbury Festival". Prime Minister Keir Starmer said earlier this month it was "not appropriate" for Kneecap to appear at Glastonbury. The band's frontman Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh was charged with a terrorism offence last month for allegedly displaying a flag in support of Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah at a concert in November. He has denied the charge. A British government minister said it was appalling that the anti-Israel chants had been made at Glastonbury, and that the festival's organisers and the BBC broadcaster - which is showing the event - had questions to answer. Health Secretary Wes Streeting said he was also appalled by violence committed by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank. "I'd also say to the Israeli Embassy, get your own house in order in terms of the conduct of your own citizens and the settlers in the West Bank," Streeting told Sky News. "I wish they'd take the violence of their own citizens towards Palestinians more seriously," he said.
