Homeless Derbyshire woman attacked friend who caught her having sex in her bed
A Derbyshire woman attacked the friend she was staying with after she caught her having sex in her home. Derby Crown Court heard how Demi Parker hit the woman over the head with a box and threw ashtrays and vases at the Swadlincote property. The 24-year-old then went to her family home that she'd been banished from and burnt the internet cables and kicked a gas meter after her sister refused to let her in or hand over money. Handing her a seven month jail term, suspended for two years, Recorder Helen Malcolm KC said: 'You committed these offences in February and April of this year and certainly in relation to the April offences you were the subject of a suspended sentence order.

Georgina Miller, prosecuting said the first set of offences took place in Elmsleigh Drive, Midway, in February this year. She said the defendant went out and returned home with a man known only as 'Shorty' who she had been drinking with. The prosecutor said they went upstairs and her friend followed them only to find them having sex. She asked them both to leave. Miss Miller said: 'Shorty left but the defendant became aggressive, throwing vases and ashtrays around. She then picked up a white box and hit (the victim) over the head with it and bit her arm.' The prosecutor said after being arrested and bailed, Parker then turned up at her former family home in Brookdale Road, Swadlincote, demanding money from her sister. She said: 'There had been significant issues which had led her to being kicked out, she demanded the money which her sister refused so she started kicking the front door. 'She then used a lighter to damage the Wifi cable and kicked the gas box. The police arrived and she was sitting on the doorstep having said to her sister 'give me some money or I will set fire to the house'. 'When she was arrested she lashed out and struck a police officer with her arm to the face.' Parker, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to charges of assault occasioning actual bodily harm, criminal damage and assaulting an emergency worker. She has 10 previous court appearances for 25 offences, Miss Miller told the court. David Watts, mitigating, said: "The right place to start is Miss Parker's apology to all involved. 'She is in a much better place now and recognises the harm she caused, expressing her regret. Her friend had provided her with somewhere to live when she became homeless and Miss Parker knows she let her friend down and betrayed her trust.' As part of the suspended sentence order, the judge ordered Parker to attend 20 rehabilitation sessions with the probation service and a six-month drug rehabilitation requirement. She also handed her a restraining order not to contact any of the victims or go to their addresses until further order.

Macron warns Israel that Gaza occupation plan risks ‘war without end'
French President Emmanuel Macron has sharply criticised Israel's planned takeover of Gaza City, warning it would be a 'disaster' leading to endless war. President Macron has denounced Israel's plan to expand its operations and seize control of Gaza City, warning it was a "disaster" that risked locking the region into "permanent war". This conflict "must end now with a lasting ceasefire," Macron urged in a statement this Monday, describing Israel's proposed takeover of Gaza City as "a disaster of unprecedented gravity – a headlong rush into a war without end." "The Israeli hostages and the people of Gaza will remain the main victims of such a strategy," he added. Israeli plan for Gaza takeover must be halted immediately: UN rights chief Israel announced its military would "take control" of Gaza City, a plan signed off by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's security cabinet which has drawn sharp criticism from across the globe. Macron called for the creation of a UN-mandated stabilisation mission to help secure the Gaza Strip. "The Security Council must now act to establish such a mission and grant it the necessary mandate,' he said. 'I have instructed my teams to begin work on this immediately with our partners." Israel defends Gaza occupation plan On Sunday, Netanyahu defended the plan, insisting: 'Israel has no choice but to finish the job and ensure the complete defeat of Hamas. We already have about 70 to 75 percent of Gaza under military control – but two strongholds remain: Gaza City and the central camps in Al Mawasi.' Palestinian witnesses reported the heaviest bombardments in weeks on Monday in the eastern suburbs of Gaza City, just hours after Netanyahu said he had ordered the Israeli Defence Forces to speed up their timetable for seizing the city. Tanks and warplanes pounded areas including Sabra, Zeitoun and Shejaia, forcing families to flee westwards. Germany's Merz defends stopping weapons deliveries to Israel Although the Israeli military said it was targeting Hamas militants and dismantling launch sites, residents described one of the worst nights in weeks, raising fears that preparations were under way for a deeper push into the city, which now shelters around a million displaced people. The latest military plans have intensified alarm abroad. Alongside Macron's condemnation, Germany announced it would halt exports of military equipment that could be used in Gaza, while Britain and other European allies urged Israel to rethink its policy. The United States' ambassador to Israel criticised what he saw as some countries pressuring Israel rather than Hamas. Famine unfolding Meanwhile, the United Nations and humanitarian agencies have condemned the planned expansion. "If these plans are implemented, they will likely trigger another calamity in Gaza," UN Assistant Secretary General Miroslav Jenca told the Security Council on Sunday. UN agencies warned last month that famine was unfolding in the territory, with Israel severely restricting the entry of aid. Defining famine: the complex process behind Gaza's hunger crisis Israel's offensive has killed at least 61,430 Palestinians, according to Gaza's health ministry, figures the United Nations says are reliable. Hamas's October, 2023 attack on Israel, which triggered the war, resulted in the deaths of 1,219 people, according to a tally kept by French news agency AFP, based on official figures.
