Four people injured in Liverpool parade named
Paul Doyle, 53, has been charged with seven offences in connection with the incident on Water Street, which happened as thousands of fans were celebrating the football team's victory just after 6pm on 26 May.
He is accused of the unlawful wounding with intent of Simon Nash, 52, causing grievous bodily harm (GBH) with intent to Susan Passey, 77, and Christine Seeckts, 66, and the attempted GBH of Ethan Gillard, 18.
A court order preventing the publication of their identities was put in place when Doyle first appeared before magistrates in Liverpool on Friday.
But on Tuesday, Recorder of Liverpool Judge Andrew Menary KC lifted the restrictions, which had been made under Section 46 of the Youth Justice and Criminal Evidence Act 1999.
Doyle is charged with another count of wounding with intent and a second count of attempted GBH, which both relate to children, for whom reporting restrictions remain in place.
He is also charged with dangerous driving.

Doyle appeared before Liverpool Crown Court on Friday, speaking to confirm his name and date of birth.
Judge Menary fixed a trial date for 24 November and remanded the defendant in custody ahead of a plea hearing on 14 August.
Earlier this week, Merseyside Police said the number of people reported to have been injured in the incident had risen to 109, with four remaining in hospital on Monday.

Racist abuse will 'not bring down' Tottenham's Tel
Tottenham forward Mathys Tel says the online racist abuse he received after the club's recent defeat in the Uefa Super Cup will not "bring him down". The 20-year-old Frenchman was the target of abusive messages on social media after Spurs lost the match 4-3 on penalties after letting a two-goal lead slip in normal time. Tel came on as a substitute in the 79th minute and was one of two Spurs players who failed to convert from the spot in the penalty shootout. Spurs said they were "disgusted" by the abuse and those who sent the messages to Tel, who joined the north London club from Bayern Munich permanently in the summer, were "nothing but cowards". Speaking for the first time since the incident in a post on his Instagram account Tel said he wanted to say "thank you" for all the "messages of support" he had received. "I was also disappointed about Wednesday night but racism has no place in our society. Every day is a learning curve, and every day is a lesson," Tel said. "I know where I come from, where I started and none of this will bring me down. With work and humility, respect reigns." Tel's comments come in the wake of racist abuse suffered by Bournemouth player Antoine Semenyo in their opening match of the Premier League season against Liverpool at Anfield. Last Friday's game with the current champions was briefly halted in the 29th minute after Semenyo flagged it up to the referee. A 47-year-old man from Liverpool, who was arrested by Merseyside Police on Saturday on suspicion of a racially aggravated public order offence, has been conditionally bailed.

Netanyahu accuses Australian PM of 'betraying' Israel
Israel's prime minister accused his Australian counterpart of having "betrayed Israel" and "abandoned" Australia's Jewish community, after days of increasingly strained relations between the two countries. Benjamin Netanyahu said on Tuesday that history would remember Anthony Albanese "for what he is: a weak politician". It came after Australia barred a far-right member of Netanyahu's ruling coalition from entering the country on Monday, with his visa cancelled ahead of a planned visit. Israel in turn revoked the visas of Australian representatives to the Palestinian Authority, also blaming Canberra's announcement last week that it would recognise a Palestinian state in September. There was no immediate response from Prime Minister Albanese. Israel's opposition leader criticised Netanyahu's remarks, branding them a "gift" to the Australian leader. Yair Lapid wrote on X: "The thing that most strengthens a leader in the democratic world today is a confrontation with Netanyahu, the most politically toxic leader in the Western world. "It is unclear why Bibi is rushing to give the Prime Minister of Australia this gift." What does recognising a Palestinian state mean? Diplomatic tensions flared on Monday after far-right Israeli politician Simcha Rothman's Australian visa was cancelled ahead of a visit to the country, where he had been due to speak at events organised by the Australian Jewish Association. Australia's home affairs minister told Sky News at the time the government took "a hard line on people who seek to come to our country and spread division". Tony Burke added: "If you are coming to Australia to spread a message of hate and division, we don't want you here." A few hours later, Israel's Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Sa'ar said he had "instructed the Israeli Embassy in Canberra to carefully examine any official Australian visa application for entry to Israel". He added in a post on X: "While antisemitism is raging in Australia, including manifestations of violence against Jews and Jewish institutions, the Australian government is choosing to fuel it". There have been a string of antisemitic attacks in Australia in recent months, amid tensions over the Israel-Hamas war. Australia announced in early August that it would recognise a Palestinian state, with Prime Minister Albanese saying at the time that Netanyahu was "in denial" about the consequences of the war on innocent people. "The stopping of aid that we've seen and then the loss of life that we're seeing around those aid distribution points, where people queuing for food and water are losing their lives, is just completely unacceptable," he said. The announcement followed similar moves by the UK, France and Canada. In response, Netanyahu launched a scathing attack on the leaders of the three countries, accusing Sir Keir Starmer, Emmanuel Macron and Mark Carney of siding with "mass murderers, rapists, baby killers and kidnappers". The state of Palestine is currently recognised by 147 of the UN's 193 member states. Solve the daily Crossword
