Police force at centre of migrant hotel protests holds press conference
The police force facing scrutiny over its handling of protests outside a migrant hotel is set to hold a press conference. Senior figures from Essex Police are expected to answer questions about the decisions they have taken after days of volatile demonstrations. The force admitted overnight that it had escorted pro-migrant protesters to the Bell Hotel in Epping. It had initially denied that it had brought activists from the group Stand up to Racism to the site amid claims by anti-migrant protesters that the arrival of counter-demonstrators sparked violence on July 17. It backtracked after being shown footage of the protesters being escorted by officers from a nearby station to the hotel. Nigel Farage, the Reform UK leader, said 'heads must roll' at Essex Police. There have been a series of protests outside the Bell Hotel after Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, a 38-year-old asylum seeker, was charged with sexual assault. The migrant, who denies the charges, is alleged to have attempted to kiss a 14-year-old girl.

Cornwall surgeon accused of fraud over amputation of his own legs
A surgeon from Cornwall who carried out hundreds of amputations is appearing in court accused of lying over how he lost his own legs and encouraging another man to remove the body parts of others. Vascular surgeon Neil Hopper, 49, from Truro, was charged with three offences after a two-and-a-half-year investigation by Devon and Cornwall police. Hopper formerly worked for the Royal Cornwall hospitals NHS trust and has previously said he lost his legs to sepsis in 2019. Devon and Cornwall police said he faced two counts of fraud by false representation. The particulars are that 2019 he 'dishonestly made a false representation to insurers, namely the injuries to his legs were the result of sepsis and were not self-inflicted, intending to make a gain'. He was also charged with encouraging or assisting in the commission of grievous bodily harm. It is alleged that between August 2018 and December 2020 he bought videos from a website called The EunuchMaker showing the removal of limbs and 'encouraged Marius Gustavson to remove body parts of third parties'. Hopper was appearing at Bodmin magistrates court on Wednesday 23 July. The police said Royal Cornwall hospitals NHS trust, where Hopper has been employed, has worked closely with officers throughout the investigation. A spokesperson for the trust said: 'The charges do not relate to Mr Hopper's professional conduct and there has been no evidence to suggest any risk to patients. Mr Hopper worked in at the Royal Cornwall hospitals from 2013 until he was suspended from duty in March 2023, following his initial arrest.' Former patients with any questions or concerns about their treatment can contact the Royal Cornwall hospitals' patient experience team on 01872 25 2793, or email In a BBC interview in 2023, Hopper spoke of the amputations. He said: 'I do quite a lot of amputations and the one thing that kept going around in my mind was power tools. The thought of power tools being used on me was icky. It was really weird.' He said he recovered quickly. He was told it would take him about three months to be able to walk. 'I did it in three hours,' he said. 'I hate to say it but I'm more active since I lost my legs than I was before.' He was shortlisted in the European Space Agency's search for an astronaut with a disability.

Moment brazen thief steals hairdresser's £1,300 phone in plain sight – would you have spotted him?
THIS is the shocking moment a thief stole a hairdresser's £1,300 phone after pretending to need her help. Emma Horne, 42, was working at her salon in Warrington, Cheshire, last month when a man carrying a newspaper came in to ask for a haircut. 6 6 6 While the hairdresser begin to explain she didn't cut men's hair, the thief claims he is asking on behalf of his wife. Footage then shows Emma moving behind her desk in order to grab a price list flyer. However, this is when the thief strikes - tactically moving his newspaper to cover the hairdresser's phone, which is lying on top of the desk. After shadily placing the paper over the £1,300 Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra, he appears to slowly shift the device under the covering. Orienting it closer to the edge, he locks a firm grip on Emma's precious device. The other hairdresser and clients in the background remained oblivious as the thief executed his fiendish plan. Finally, as Emma locates the flyer and hands it to him, the man quickly grabs his newspaper, with the phone underneath it and firmly in his grip, and walks briskly out of the establishment. Emma said it only took her a few minutes to realise her phone was missing, but by this point she and a client were unable to find the man when they looked down a nearby street. After returning to the salon and checking the CCTV cameras, they realised they had filmed the man's cunning theft. The incident has been reported to Cheshire Police and the force has confirmed enquiries are ongoing. Moment model chases thief after her phone is ripped from her hand in London Emma said: "It happened so fast he was literally in the salon for minutes. "I went behind the counter to get a price list for him, then he put the newspaper over my phone and swiped it. It was gone within seconds. "I felt angry and I was dead upset because it's the fact that someone came and took my property right in front of my face. He was standing right next to me. "He actually looks at the cameras and everything so he knew the cameras were there because he looks right at it. "Panic set in because I've got my whole work schedule and everything on my phone. Everything's just gone." 6 6 6 After realising the device was gone, and her sensitive information at risk, Emma went straight to the bank to freeze her cards. Although her quick thinking prevented any money leaving her accounts, it also meant she was unable to access any of her funds. The hairdresser added: "It happened so fast. The anger is setting in now. I'm quite frustrated with it because I've got to go out and get myself a new phone and everything now. "These people think they can go around and do this and get away with it." 'HE DID IT SO FAST' Emma says she bought the expensive phone just eight months ago and had only recently finished paying for it. She insists she usually welcomes everybody into her salon but believes she'll be more wary of potential customers in future. Emma said: "I feel a bit wary about things now. "He did it so fast, we just didn't see him. It makes you feel a bit uneasy. "We've got cameras for our own security and they're still coming in and doing it. "We're quite friendly in our salon and we welcome everybody but I suppose you've still got to be on your guard because these people are out there going around nicking phones. "Someone said they saw him lurking outside so he was obviously watching me put my phone down." A spokesperson for Cheshire Police said: "At 11.38am on Tuesday 24 June, police were called to a report of theft at a hair salon in Time Square, Warrington. "The caller reported that approximately 30 minutes earlier, an unknown man had entered the salon posing as a client, and stole a mobile phone.
