Congressman claims he was run off the road by pro-Palestine protester
A Republican congressman has claimed he was run off the road by a 'deranged' pro-Palestinian protester. Ohio lawmaker Max Miller said he was forced off the road on his way to work by a man who issued death threats against him and his family before waving a Palestinian flag while driving off. Mr Miller, who is Jewish, recounted the incident in a video on X and pledged to hold the perpetrator responsible, saying: 'I will not hide in the face of this blatant anti-semitic violence'. 'As I was driving to work, some unhinged, deranged man decided to lay on his horn and run me off the road, when he couldn't get my attention, to show me a Palestinian flag, not to mention death to Israel, death to me — that he wanted to kill me and my family,' Mr Miller said in the video. The deranged hatred in this country has gotten out of control. Today I was run off the road in Rocky River, and the life of me and my family was threatened by a person who proceeded to show a Palestinian flag before taking off. I have filed a police report with Capitol Police and… — Max Miller (@MaxMillerOH) June 19, 2025 Mr Miller, 36, said that he knew who the person was and had reported the incident to local law enforcement and the US Capitol Police. Addressing the person responsible, Mr Miller said: 'You have an issue? Take it to our office. You want to run me off the road? That's a different story. He added: 'We know who you are, young man, and the police are going to be paying you a visit, and I hope what you did this morning is worth it to you and anyone else who plans on doing this to anybody within our district, state or country.' The incident comes at a time of heightened fears over political violence following the assassination of the Minnesota House Speaker Melissa Hortman and her husband earlier this week, as well as the killing of two Israeli embassy staffers in Washington DC. Mr Miller said: 'I will continue to fight against anti-semitism, Islamophobia and all other forms of hate.' House Democrats released a statement condemning the attack on Mr Miller and called on Congress to 'act decisively' to ensure the safety of members. 'We condemn in the strongest possible terms the attack on Congressman Max Miller and his family and are thankful they are safe,' the Democratic leadership said. 'The rise in political violence in this country is unacceptable. This is a moment of crisis that requires Congress to act decisively in order to ensure the safety of every single Member who serves in the People's House.' Mr Miller provoked controversy in 2023 when he said Palestine would be 'eviscerated' by Israel's bombardment and Gaza would be turned into a 'parking lot'. He served as a reservist in the US Marines and worked as a White House aide during the first Trump administration before being elected to Congress in 2022. Rocky River Police Department confirmed that Mr Miller called the station on Thursday morning to 'report a road rage incident', according to The Hill.

Indiana Fever's Stephanie White to take leave as Mike Kelly to serve as coach
Indiana coach Stephanie White will miss her second game this season for personal reasons when the Fever visit the Golden State Valkyries on Thursday night in San Francisco. The Fever (6-5) said White is tending to a personal matter, with assistant coach Austin Kelly serving as acting head coach for Indiana's first game against the expansion Golden State franchise (5-6). Kelly also served as head coach on 7 June, when the Fever beat the host Chicago Sky 79-52. White, 47, was attending to a family matter. 'It's going to be the same,' Kelly said after Thursday's shootaround, according to an ESPN report. 'I think we are an extension of each other. 'The message is still the same that we talk about in the locker room: playing for each other, getting it done on the defensive end and then having that help fuel us on the offensive end. But the vibes are good.' It is the first season of White's second stint as Indiana's head coach. She led the Fever from 2015-16 and returned after spending the past two seasons coaching the Connecticut Sun.

Lammy to meet Iranian foreign minister as Trump steps back from military action
David Lammy will travel to Geneva on Friday for talks with the Iranian foreign minister and European allies as the UK presses for a diplomatic solution to the Israel-Iran conflict. The Foreign Secretary is set to meet Abbas Araghchi alongside his counterparts from France, Germany and the EU as he seeks to negotiate a settlement before US President Donald Trump decides on whether to take military action against Tehran. In a statement read by his press secretary on Thursday, Mr Trump said there was still 'a substantial chance of negotiations' and said he would make a decision on deploying US forces 'within the next two weeks'. Mr Trump had previously said he 'may' join Israeli strikes against Iran and its nuclear programme, but added: 'I may not do it. I mean, nobody knows what I'm going to do.' Friday's meeting with the so-called E3 countries follows Mr Lammy's visit to Washington, where he met US secretary of state Marco Rubio in the White House on Thursday evening to discuss 'how a deal could avoid a deepening conflict'. The Foreign Secretary said: 'The situation in the Middle East remains perilous. We are determined that Iran must never have a nuclear weapon.' Adding that a 'window now exists within the next two weeks to achieve a diplomatic solution', Mr Lammy said: 'Now is the time to put a stop to the grave scenes in the Middle East and prevent a regional escalation that would benefit no one.' Earlier on Thursday, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer had urged the US to step back from military action, saying there was a 'real risk of escalation'. It remains unclear whether the UK would join any military action, although there has been speculation that US involvement could require using the British-controlled base on Diego Garcia in the Chagos Islands. The B-2 stealth bombers based there are capable of carrying specialised 'bunker buster' bombs which could be used against Iran's underground nuclear facility at Fordo. Attorney General Lord Hermer is reported to have raised legal concerns about any British involvement in the conflict beyond defending its allies, which could limit the extent of any support for the US if Mr Trump decides to act militarily. Meanwhile, two Labour backbenchers pushed for a 'fresh, tough approach' to Tehran. Jon Pearce and Mike Tapp, chairman and vice-chairman respectively of Labour Friends of Israel, said the UK urgently needed 'a multifaceted diplomatic, economic and national security plan to guard against the Iranian threat and force the regime to change course'. Writing in The Daily Telegraph, the pair called for tighter sanctions on Iran, the proscription of the country's Revolutionary Guard Corps and a 'comprehensive diplomatic solution' that 'eliminates once and for all' Iran's nuclear threat.
