Iran supporters attack anti-regime protesters in embassy brawl
Anti-Iranian regime protesters were attacked outside the country's embassy in London on Friday. The demonstrators were targeted by backers of the Iranian regime, the Telegraph understands. The Metropolitan Police said that seven men have been arrested following the incident, and that two men were hospitalised. The attack took place during an anti-regime protest outside the embassy, which is situated opposite Hyde Park. Witnesses told how men were seen lying on the floor bleeding and receiving treatment from paramedics, while others were arrested. Iran's leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has spent decades consolidating his power by suppressing opposition and has transformed the country into a cleric-dominated, anti-Western and anti-Israel Islamic republic. The regime is now locked in an ongoing and escalating war with Israel, which opposition groups hope could trigger the authoritarian regime to topple. Credit: X On Friday, protesters could also be seen flying an array of flags in support of Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi, including the pre-1979 Islamist revolution national flag. The 1979 Iranian Revolution was a period of widespread protests that eventually led to the overthrow of the Pahlavi dynasty. Its supporters in the diaspora continue to advocate for the restoration of the monarchy in lieu of current leadership in Tehran. Four Israel flags were also being flown by the encampment on Friday – though it is understood the incident is not linked to Israel. Videos circulating on social media also show the protestors calling for an end to the Iranian regime. Jeremy Selwyn, a 62-year-old freelance photographer, witnessed the incident and said that one of the men was 'very seriously injured'. He said: 'I saw two chaps on the floor getting treatment from paramedics. 'One appeared to have very serious facial injuries and looked as if he had been hit around the head. 'The police turned up en masse. There must have been around 40 police officers and they arrested six men. 'It was a gang of men that were arrested. They knew what they were doing.' He added that he spoke to another witness who said that 'there are always protestors' outside the embassy, but that 'recently gangs of men, presumably Iranian, come to harass them but today it was more than harassment. I think it became a bit of a brawl'. The Iranian embassy in London has become a focal point for various protests regarding incidents of global interest, most notably in 2022, following the death of Mahsa Amini. She was detained by the Iranian morality police accused of violating the law requiring women to cover their body with loose clothing and to cover their hair with a hijab. Her death sparked global protests and the embassy was the site of clashes with police as the crowd threw missiles at officers, seriously injuring at least five of them, and prompting the arrest of 12 protestors. A Metropolitan Police spokesman said: 'Officers are on scene in Princes Gate, SW1 following an altercation during a protest. 'They were called to the location at 09:53hrs on Friday, 20 June. Conditions have since been put in place to prevent serious disorder. This stops protestors from gathering in the area until 13:00hrs on Sunday, 22 June. 'One man has been taken into police custody after he was arrested on suspicion of breaching the above conditions.' 'Seven other men remain in police custody after being arrested on suspicion of grievous bodily harm. The two men treated at the scene by the London Ambulance Service are in hospital. Their injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.' A London Ambulance Service spokesperson added: 'We were called at 9.56am today (20 June) to reports of an assault in Princes Gate, SW7. 'We sent a number of resources to the scene including ambulance crews, paramedics in fast response cars and our Tactical Response Unit. 'We treated two patients at the scene and took one to hospital and one to a major trauma centre.' The attack comes amid the ongoing and escalating war between Israel and Iran as the countries continue to launch missile strikes. Donald Trump, the US president, said that he would decide in the next fortnight whether or not his country would intervene in the conflict.

The Gold shows downside to life on-the-run for Brink's-Mat robbers
The Gold showed that life in hiding abroad may not have been quite so glamorous for the Brink's-Mat robbers. Jack Lowden's portrayal of criminal Kenneth Noye showed him as paranoid and anxious in the latest episode of the BBC true-crime drama, which aired on Monday, 16 June. Things began to unravel for the gold robbers living in hiding in luxurious foreign locations. Noye found the Canary Islands was not the most comfortable place to be after he was recognised in a bar by a fellow British ex-pat. Noye chose to go on the run yet again, while money launderer John Palmer stayed put. But later in the episode things began to fall apart for both Palmer and fellow money launderer Logan Campbell, as the police closed in on them. The Gold examines one of the most infamous crimes in British history, the Brink's-Mat robbery, which led to £26m worth of gold, jewellery and cash being stolen — the equivalent of £111m today. A number of people were involved in the robbery from the raid itself to helping melt down the gold, launder the money, and recirculate it back into legitimate channels. The first series featured the robbery and the immediate aftermath, while the current series follows the police investigation to hunt down and catch the criminals after they fled abroad. The hunt is led by detective Brian Boyce, played by Hugh Bonneville. In episode four of series two Noye has been released from prison after serving eight years of his sentence for being found guilty of conspiracy to handle the gold stolen in the Brink's-Mat robbery in 1983. He arrives in Tenerife to visit Palmer, played by Tom Cullen, who has set up a timeshare business on the island to launder the money from the robbery. Looking around Palmer's luxurious home Noye tells him: "This is nice, John. Your house, your plane, your life. Could have been a lot worse though, couldn't it? For you anyway. I did my time." Later, Noye is out drinking in a bar when he is recognised by an old friend of a friend who he played golf with. He asks him: "You on holiday then? Fair enough, hey, you deserve one, don't you, after a stretch like that." Noye threatens the man not to tell anyone where he is, saying: "You won't tell no-one nothing. Because if I find out that you told Barry or your missus, or your f***ing dog, you saw me here, and that ain't gonna work out well for you, Dave. That ain't gonna work out well at all." Noye then returns to see Palmer and asks for his help to disappear. Noye tells him: "Don't matter what I'm running from, what matters is staying ahead of it. And that ain't happening there. Too many English on this island, I may as well be in bloody Kent. I need to go somewhere quiet. And I need enough dough to stay there. "You don't want me coming back here, do you? Every time I need a little bit more of what you got from the gold." As he leaves he tells Palmer: "You know the difference between us, John. We're both on the run. But only I know it."

Campbell is a fictional character, who has been created for the purposes of the series and he actually is based on multiple real-life people. In the episode fellow money launderer Douglas Baxter turned and became a police informant he agreed to wear a wire and talk to Campbell about his involvement in the Brink's-Mat robbery. Campbell, played by Tom Hughes, guesses something is up and invites Baxter into the swimming pool with him to check if he is wearing a wire. He then confesses everything to his girlfriend Kadene and invites her to go on the run with him to South America or Switzerland. Campbells says: "There's a lot I can tell you, and I will. For now What you need to know is that I've Laundered large amounts of drugs money, and the DEA and the British police are here to arrest me." In a tense climax to the episode Kadene turns Campbell in to the police, telling him: "I chose Tortola." And back in Spain, Palmer agrees to take on a new money laundering client, only to realise he has been set up by an under cover officer and everything he has said is on camera. The Gold series 2 continues on BBC One next on Sunday, 22 June at 9pm, all episodes are available on BBC iPlayer.
