Home Secretary calls for more transparency from police over suspects
Police should reveal more information about suspects, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper has said in response to allegations the authorities have tried to 'cover up' alleged offences by asylum seekers. She said guidance to police was already being examined but it was an 'operational decision' for forces and the Crown Prosecution Service over what information to release. The College of Policing said transparency is 'essential to prevent misinformation'. The issue has been the subject of fierce debate in a series of high-profile cases, including recently over the charging of two men – reported to be Afghan asylum seekers – over the alleged rape of a 12-year-old girl in Nuneaton. The Home Secretary said 'we do think more transparency is needed' in the information given by police. She said: 'We do think the guidance needs to change and we have also already, about six months ago, we asked the Law Commission to look at this and to accelerate their review around some of the contempt of court issues, that's about what information can be released when there's a trial pending.' She referred to a case where Iranian nationals were charged with spying offences in May and the Crown Prosecution Service revealed three of them had arrived either on small boats or a lorry. She told BBC Radio 4's Today: 'It is an operational decision for the police and Crown Prosecution Service on an individual case, what and when information can be revealed in a live investigation. 'However, we do think that the guidance needs to change, the College of Policing is already looking at this, and Home Office officials are working with the College of Policing.' A College of Policing spokesman said: 'Media relations guidance for police is already under review and is looking at how forces can best balance their obligations under contempt of court legislation with their responsibility to prevent disorder. 'Police forces make challenging and complex decisions on a case-by-case basis and transparency is essential to prevent misinformation and reassure the public.' The Southport atrocity committed by Axel Rudakubana in July last year was also marked by a focus on the suspect's ethnicity and immigration status – with false rumours spreading online that he was a Muslim asylum seeker, fuelling the riots seen in the aftermath of the stabbings. The same force, Merseyside Police, were more transparent when a car drove into crowds during Liverpool FC's Premier League victory parade, saying they had arrested a 'white British man'. Emily Spurrell, Merseyside's Police and Crime Commissioner, told Today in Rudakubana's case the situation was complicated because he was under 18 when he was arrested, which created 'huge challenges' about what could be said. She said: 'I think the police will always aim to be as transparent as possible, but they are limited because of their need to protect the criminal justice process.' She acknowledged that 'we live in a very different world now' to when some of the guidance was first drafted as rumours could spread quickly online and there were some 'bad actors who deliberately circulate false information to serve a particular agenda'. The Nuneaton case has led to fresh pressure on police over the information they make public. Ahmad Mulakhil, 23, was arrested on July 26 and charged the next day with rape, according to Warwickshire Police. He appeared at Coventry Magistrates' Court last Monday and has been remanded in custody. Mohammad Kabir, 23, was arrested in Nuneaton on Thursday and charged with kidnap, strangulation and aiding and abetting rape of a girl under 13, the force added. He appeared at Coventry Magistrates' Court on Saturday and has been remanded in custody. Warwickshire Police did not deny a Mail On Sunday report which said Mulakhil and Kabir are asylum seekers. Reform UK's leader Nigel Farage and Warwickshire Council leader George Finch claimed there had been a 'cover-up' in the case. Mr Farage said it was a 'cover-up that in many ways is reminiscent of what happened after the Southport killings last year'. In a letter to the Home Secretary, Mr Finch claimed that a 'cover-up' of immigration status 'risks public disorder breaking out on the streets of Warwickshire'.

Sean 'Diddy' Combs denied bail again ahead of sentencing
Sean "Diddy" Combs has been denied bail ahead of his sentencing on prostitution-related charges. Judge Arun Subramanian said the hip-hop mogul had failed to show sufficient evidence he is not a flight risk and also cited admissions of previous violence made during his trial. Combs, 55, has been in prison since his arrest in September last year. During a two-month trial, jurors heard allegations that he had coerced former girlfriends, including singer and model Cassie Ventura, into having drug-fuelled sex marathons with male sex workers, while he watched and filmed them. In July, he was found guilty of two counts of transportation for prostitution - but cleared of more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex-trafficking, which carried potential life sentences. The rapper's legal team hailed this a "victory" and immediately applied for bail ahead of sentencing, citing his acquittal on the top charges. After this was denied, they submitted another application last week. Judge Subramanian has now rejected the request again. In denying the motion for bail, the judge found Combs had failed to show sufficient evidence to counter arguments he is a flight risk, writing in a court filing: "Increasing the amount of the bond or devising additional conditions doesn't change the calculus given the circumstances and heavy burden of proof that Combs bears." Read more: He also found that an argument by the music star's legal team that the squalor and danger of the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC), where he is being held, did not warrant release. "The public outcry concerning these conditions has come from all corners," the judge wrote. "But as Combs acknowledges, MDC staff has been able to keep him safe and attend to his needs, even during an incident of threatened violence from an inmate." As well as Combs's bail application, his legal team has also filed a motion calling for him to be acquitted or given a new trial on the prostitution-related charges only. The judge has not yet responded to this application. How long could Diddy be jailed for? Combs is due to be sentenced on 3 October and could be sentenced to up to 20 years in prison. Discussions on sentencing guidelines which followed the jury's verdict suggest it is unlikely he will be jailed for this long, with an estimate of around two to five years, taking into account time already served. However, it is ultimately up to Judge Arun Subramanian to decide the rapper's punishment. On Friday, Donald Trump was asked during an interview about a potential pardon for Combs following speculation about the issue. The president said it was unlikely, adding that the rapper was "very hostile" during his presidential campaign. Combs, who co-founded Bad Boy Records and launched the career of the late Notorious BIG, was for decades a huge figure in pop culture - a Grammy-winning hip-hop artist and business entrepreneur, who presided over an empire ranging from fashion to reality TV. As well as the criminal conviction, he is also facing several civil lawsuits.

AT&T to pay $177 million in data breach settlement. Here's how to claim up to $5,000
After suffering two significant data breaches in recent years, AT&T has agreed to pay $177 million to customers affected by the incidents. Some individuals could receive as much as $5,000 as part of the settlement. The cellular carrier faced two class-action lawsuits following separate breaches disclosed in 2024. The first was confirmed in April of last year, affecting 73 million current and former customers. A second breach, confirmed a short time later, in July, impacted 100 million customers. The compromised data varied by individual but may have included names, addresses, Social Security numbers, and passcodes—raising concerns about identity theft. Although AT&T has denied the allegations, the U.S. District Court in Dallas granted preliminary approval of the settlement in June. With notification efforts beginning, here's what to know about eligibility and how to file a claim. Who qualifies for compensation in the AT&T data breach settlement? People who suffered damages as a result of the breaches will be prioritized for compensation. However, any current or former AT&T customer whose data was compromised is eligible. Two separate funds have been established: one with $28 million for the April breach, and another with $149 million for the July breach. After customers with direct losses are reimbursed, remaining funds will be distributed to those whose data was stolen but who did not experience direct harm. How much compensation am I entitled to? Customers affected by the April 2024 breach may be eligible for up to $5,000 if their losses are 'fairly traceable' to the incident. Those impacted by the July breach can receive up to $2,500. If your data was compromised but you did not incur specific damages, your compensation amount is still to be determined. How do I make a claim? The notification program for the settlement started August 4 and will continue through October 17. The deadline to submit claims is November 18. advertisement On December 3, the court is scheduled to hold a final approval hearing, which will make the payments final. You can begin the process of filing a claim at the website. When will payments go out? Payments are expected to be distributed to current and former AT&T customers in early 2026. How did the AT&T data breaches take place? The second breach was linked to a hack of Snowflake, AT&T's cloud storage provider. AT&T reported that hackers had 'unlawfully accessed and copied AT&T call logs,' making it one of the largest private communications data breaches in history. The first breach, however, may be even more concerning. In 2021, a hacker group called Shiny Hunters claimed to have accessed AT&T's systems starting in 2019. While AT&T initially denied the data originated from its systems, 70 million customer records were later posted for sale on the dark web in March 2024. Following further investigation, a security researcher discovered that stolen passwords could be easily decrypted. AT&T then reset account passwords and confirmed the breach on April 2.
