Houthis parade kidnapped crew of ETERNITY C, won't back down from threats

The main message of the Houthi video is that they are not deterred. Israel has carried out several rounds of attacks on the Houthis, but this has apparently not stopped the attacks. The Iranian-backed Houthis released a video on July 28 showing ten members of the crew of a ship they sunk. They kidnapped the crew after sinking the ETERNITY C in the Red Sea. The ETERNITY C was a Liberian-flagged bulk carrier. It was one of two ships the Houthis attacked in early July. This came after many months where the Houthis had stopped attacking ships. The US had carried out airstrikes on the Houthis in mid-March but then chose to end the attacks in April. The Houthis have claimed they are attacking ships that are linked to Israel. The Houthis' decision to kidnap the crew of the ship is a new phenomenon. The last time the kidnapped crew was the crew of the Galaxy Leader, a ship they hijacked and towed to Yemen in November 2023. Usually the Houthi model was to attack and harass ships but not try to kidnap the crew. The ETERNITY C was attacked and it does not seem other navies rendered aid. Instead the Houthis showed they control the Red Sea. It is not clear if the US, UK or other navies will stop the Houthi attacks. Recently a ship transferring arms to the Houthis was interdicted, illustrating that some countries appear to be working with the Yemen government to stymie the Houthis. The Houthis are technically a rebel group that controls a third of Yemen, primarily mountain areas. The website Safety4Sea noted regarding the video, that 'the ten individuals are among the twelve crew members who were initially reported missing or believed to be held hostage by the Houthis.' The Houthis paraded the captured crew and appear to have had them say that the Houthis 'saved' them. 'The video shows the crew being rescued from the sea at night, along with the footage of them currently in Houthi custody. The crew members are seen stating that they were unaware of the Houthi-imposed maritime ban on sailing to Israeli ports. One sailor is seen making a phone call home, while others are shown giving statements.' The Houthis are clearly trying to show they are. not deterred and will continue attacks in the Red Sea. They have threatened to escalate the attacks. They claim to be backing Gaza and supporting Palestinians. They began attacks soon after the Hamas attack on October 7. Safety4Sea noted that 'four Filipino crew members are believed to have died in the attack and the appearance of only ten men in the video raises questions about the fate of the eleventh crew member the Houthis claim to have rescued.' The Houthis claimed that the ship was heading for Eilat The Houthis claimed in the video that the ship was heading for Eilat, which the Houthis call 'Umm al-Rashrash in occupied Palestine.' The Houthis claimed that 'recordings of the ship's crew confirmed its violation of the maritime navigation ban on the ports of occupied Palestine, affirming that Umm al-Rashrash port was the ship's destination from Berbera port in Somalia, and that Jeddah port in Saudi Arabia was a destination for deception and resupply purposes.' The Houthis noted that they are calling on 'all ship-owning and operating companies, the maritime community, and the public not to deal with the Zionist entity, regardless of the offers, to ensure the safety of their ships and crews.' The Houthis also called on ships to keep their Automatic identification system (AIS) working as they transit the area. This enables trips to be tracked via a receiver. This would seem to make it easier for Houthis to find and locate ships. The main message of the Houthi video is that they are not deterred. Israel has carried out several rounds of attacks on the Houthis, but this has apparently not stopped the attacks. The Houthis also continue to launch ballistic missiles at Israel. It is not clear what the never level of escalation by the Houthis may consist of.

Tommy Robinson 'in Tenerife' after St Pancras station assault

A British tourist claims he saw Tommy Robinson boarding a flight to Tenerife following an alleged assault at London's St Pancras station. The 42-year-old far-right political activist flew out of the UK as police launched an investigation into an incident in which a man was knocked unconscious on the walkway leading to the station's Thameslink hub. Video footage shared on TikTok on Tuesday by a British tourist appeared to show a man fitting Tommy Robinson's description boarding an airport shuttle. He was wearing a black t-shirt and shorts, a black cap and white trainers, with a visible tattoo on his left leg. The video was captioned: 'Spotted Tommy Robinson getting on my flight this morning.' In another video, the man alleged to be Robinson lifted his cap at the security gates so that a staff member could check his face against his passport photo. Later that day, the British TikToker shared another video tagged with a Tenerife location. Footage shared widely on social media this week, shows an agitated Robinson shouting 'you saw him, he came at me' as a man appears to lay unresponsive and bleeding on the floor. Robinson later claimed in a video he had a fight with a door after showing off a cut on his forehead. But a fellow passenger claimed they saw Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, arguing with an older man before 'punching him so hard it knocked him out'. They said Robinson allegedly shouted at him to "come at me then" before he "punched the man so hard he was knocked out". The witness had been on the way to catch a train when he "heard a loud commotion and arguing" at the top of the Platform B escalator. He said that as he approached the top, he saw the pair "facing off and standing very close to each other". The witness told MailOnline that the alleged assault seemed "very serious" as the individual "wasn't moving afterwards". Robinson could then be seen leaving down a staircase, while another man can be heard saying "quick, can we get someone here" to staff. He then comes back up the stairs and appears to tell the man "he come at me bruv, you saw that". Since the clip emerged, Robinson reposted a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, from a user which read: "If you approach someone with hostility, a man that receives death threats daily, expect to get a clip round the ear hole." In an update, British Transport Police said: "BTP were called to St Pancras station just after 8.40pm yesterday (July 28) following reports of an assault. "Officers attended and a man was taken to hospital with serious injuries, which are not thought to be life threatening. "Overnight the investigation has been ongoing and officers have been making arrest enquiries. "Officers have confirmed that the suspect, a 42-year-old man from Bedfordshire, boarded a flight out of the country in the early hours of this morning. "Detectives are continuing to work closely to progress the investigation and bring him into custody for questioning."

In pictures: How a week of violent riots left the North East unrecognisable

One year ago today, violence erupted at a 'protest' in Hartlepool sparking a wave of disorder across the region. Thousands took to the streets with eggs, bricks, and rocks lobbed at police on Murray Street and the surrounding areas. As reported, riot cops and the dog unit descended on the town at around 6pm after unrest was fuelled by misinformation on social media. It followed the murders of children Alice da Silva Aguiar, nine, Bebe King, six, and Elsie Dot Stancombe, seven in Southport by Axel Rudakubana. And Hartlepool wasn't the only North East town impacted by the riots. Just two days later, another protest descended into chaos in Sunderland with thugs caught throwing missiles at officers as others torched cars and vandalised businesses. Both Northumbria and Cleveland Police made countless arrests, but it didn't stop the final riot in the North East taking place on August 4, in Middlesbrough. Hundreds of officers lined the streets with both the canine unit and mounted section drafted in. Rioters torched bins and cars as officers tried to control the crowds. Many were attacked and are now trying to move on one year down the line. Here's a look back at some of the shocking scenes from the North East riots. First was in Hartlepool town centre, on July 31.
