Arrests after protest in support of Palestine Action, police say
Pictures from the demonstration showed a small group holding placards reading "I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action" in Westminster.
As of Saturday, the group is proscribed under the Terrorism Act 2000, after lawyers acting on its behalf failed with a court bid to block the ban on Friday.
The designation means that being a member of, or showing support for Palestine Action, is a criminal offence and could lead to up to 14 years in prison.
In an earlier statement, the Met said: "Officers are responding to a protest in support of Palestine Action in Parliament Square.
"The group is now proscribed and expressing support for them is a criminal offence."
The government moved to ban the group after an estimated £7m of damage was caused to planes at RAF Brize Norton last month during a protest Palestine Action said it was behind.
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper announced plans to proscribe the group last month, calling damage to two military aircraft "disgraceful" and claiming the group had a "long history of unacceptable criminal damage".

'Get to work' on northern bypass, MP pleads
An MP has called on a council to "get to work" on a bypass after councillors voted in favour of the new road following years of political gridlock. A northern bypass for Ipswich has long been suggested as a means of easing congestion - but just a fortnight ago any decision appeared to be off the cards until next year. The plan was approved last week when a Labour councillor's motion received cross-party support at the Conservative-led Suffolk County Council. "It is welcome that people from across the political divide have demanded that the administration wake up and finally take action," said Jack Abbot, Labour MP for Ipswich. "It is now incumbent on Suffolk County Council to immediately get to work and produce the plans. "If they do so, I'll work alongside them to get the funding we need from government in the long-term interests of Ipswich, Felixstowe and Suffolk." Sandy Martin, who brought the motion, said the northern bypass would not only help ease general congestion, but also boost trade at, and stemming from, the Port of Felixstowe, the UK's largest container port. "We cannot afford to have Ipswich brought to a complete standstill every time the bridge is shut, we cannot afford as a county to see Felixstowe downgraded," he added. "We cannot afford as a country to see the expensive delays and disruptions to this nation's major trade route without any mitigation measures taken." The plans were shelved in February 2020 due to a lack of political support, with councillors and the area's three Conservative MPs at the time divided on the plans. Hundreds of people protested outside the council's headquarters, claiming the scheme would destroy the countryside, increase pollution and would cost the taxpayer millions of pounds without reducing traffic. The project has had a recent resurgence in popularity after Mr Abbott said it was "bypass or bust" amid weeks of diversions and congestion during works on the Orwell Bridge. Many of the same key problems which led to the strong opposition still remained, particularly in relation to how to secure government funding for the project, according to the Local Democracy Reporting Service. In 2019, funding was reliant on 15,000 new homes being built over and above the numbers local authorities were allocated in their local plans. Conservative councillor Elaine Bryce, who played a key part in opposing the initial scheme, said the amount of development needed to unlock the funding would cause devastation in many of the villages she represented. Andrew Stringer, a Green councillor and the main opposition group's leader, said: "There must be ample opportunity to provide a bridge, tunnel, anything else other than just tearing through one of the most beautiful parts of Suffolk." Council leader Matthew Hicks, who renewed his opposition for the bypass, said: "Suffolk is waiting for a whole series of infrastructure to move forward. "Labour has failed, so far, to bring new funding." The motion was backed across party lines with 29 votes for and 12 against, while eight abstained. The authority will now seek further clarity from the government on its priorities. Follow Suffolk news on BBC Sounds, Facebook, Instagram and X.

£40m-plus Newgale road scheme to come under public spotlight
Pembrokeshire proposals for a £40m-plus road realignment scheme at flood-hit Newgale, and a far cheaper alternative scheme, are to come under the spotlight at full council next week. Newgale was hit hard by flooding following storms in early 2014 storms, and later by Storm Dennis in 2020. In 2014 it even saw a visit by the-then Prime Minister David Cameron following the storms. A public consultation - through agent AtkinsRéalis - was launched earlier this year ahead of a formal Pembrokeshire County Council application to Pembrokeshire Coast National Park for Phase 1 of the Newgale Coastal Adaptation Project, which would see the development of a new inland section of road with bridge over Brandy Brook some 2.3km inland, to replace the coastal section of A487 at Newgale that will be closed and removed, among other works. Varied claims have been made about the cost of this scheme, from £20m upwards, some even saying it could cost as much as £60m, with millions spent on consultation fees to date. (Image: STUN) An alternative scheme has been proposed by STUN – Stand Up for Newgale, who have previously said the public has been misled over the need for the new Newgale bypass. STUN's far cheaper alternative proposes a section of the shingle bank at Newgale be realigned 10-12 metres seaward leaving an over-wash barrier between it and the A487 to capture any pebbles and sea water. More: Replacement of deteriorating Pembrokeshire school building backed More: Some people set to be exempt from Pembrokeshire council tax payments More: Haverfordwest houses for homeless will not be used for asylum seekers In a question, on behalf of Solva Community Council, to be heard at the July 17 meeting of Pembrokeshire County Council, community council chair Gareth Chapman will ask: 'The topic of the road diversion at Newgale has been in the news quite a lot recently and it has become apparent that there has been an alternative scheme proposed by the Newgale Community group STUN. 'This proposal has been demonstrated to Solva Community Council and appears to be an under £1m proposal with up to 85 years lifespan compared to the conservative £40m-plus estimate for the PCC proposal.' (Image: AtkinsRéalis report/Pembrokeshire County Council.) The question says 'hardly anyone wants this major change in Newgale,' adding: 'PCC's proposal is to counter for road closures that rarely happen and, even then, require little expense to restore the pebble bank. It should also be remembered that on several occasions, flooding at Newgale occurs because the river outlet is blocked preventing water from the valley escaping and not as a result of a high tide or storm. 'It is acknowledged that climate change and coastal issues at Newgale may eventually in many years force a change in the highway arrangements at Newgale but it is felt that all efforts should be made to retain the character of the village and iconic views for as long as possible. 'Given the huge amount of public money that is proposed to be spent, and could well be better spent on other more pressing issues, would Pembrokeshire County Council commit to thoroughly examining the alternative proposal as WelTAG [Welsh Government Transport Appraisal Guidance] suggests they should, and also fully take on board the overwhelming public opinion regarding the future of Newgale? 'Secondly if Pembrokeshire County Council have already given this alternative scheme full consideration, will they also commit to providing their written comments on the alternative scheme to Solva Community Council within 14 days of this meeting?' The question will be responded to at the meeting.

Four times more online abuse of Wimbledon players detected
Nearly four times as much online abuse aimed at players during the first half of Wimbledon was detected compared to the same period in 2024, according to data shared exclusively with the BBC. There were 1,902 abusive pieces of content sent to players on public-facing accounts and reported to the relevant platforms by the Threat Matrix monitoring system, compared to 511 in the corresponding week of last year's tournament. Advertisement Initial data gathered up to the quarter-final stage also suggests that the three most targeted players at the Championships were male, whereas last year two of the top three were female. After losing in the men's final on Sunday, Carlos Alcaraz said he experiences "cruel" abuse on social media, while women's singles runner-up Amanda Anisimova told BBC Sport she was "scared" to go on her phone after her 6-0 6-0 defeat by Iga Swiatek on Saturday. How is online abuse detected? The All England Lawn Tennis Club [AELTC] uses the Threat Matrix service, devised by data science firm Signify, which uses AI to monitor public-facing social media accounts. Advertisement A team of investigators then manually analyse what is flagged by the system - which covers X, Instagram, YouTube, Facebook and TikTok - and escalate abusive and threatening content. During Wimbledon it was applied to all players in the men's and women's singles and doubles, the mixed doubles, all players in singles and doubles qualifying, umpires and Wimbledon's official accounts. Up to the end of the quarter-final stage, 2,916 posts or comments were verified as abusive, threatening, or discriminatory and reported to platforms. Of these, 132 were assessed as being of "moderate" or "high" threat level - prompting further investigation for potential security or law enforcement action - and "angry gamblers" were responsible for 37% of all detected abuse. Advertisement This was from a provisional total of 228,060 posts - both positive and negative - that were picked up by the system because they had been aimed at the monitored handles. Since last year's Wimbledon, enhancements have been made to Threat Matrix, to capture evolving terms and to address troll accounts that post the same abusive messages multiple times. The year-on-year increase might reflect these changes in how abusive accounts operate. What have players and Wimbledon said? British number one Katie Boulter put the issue back in the spotlight when she revealed the "disgusting" volume and nature of social media abuse she received during the French Open, including death threats. Advertisement Two-time Wimbledon champion Alcaraz told BBC Sport after his final defeat: "A lot of people have really positive messages to me. "I just want to ignore all those bad messages that I can receive because it can affect you so much. People can be so cruel." After her 57-minute loss to Swiatek on Saturday, Anisimova said: "I was definitely scared to open my phone, and I'm sure there's going to be a mixture of feedback there. Definitely it can be hard going on to social media after something like today." Taylor Fritz, who lost in the semi-finals, said: "If I have a bad loss or something, I don't even want to open my phone with the messages." Advertisement Former Olympic champion Belinda Bencic said the messages players get "are not human": "It's thousands and thousands of messages, win or lose, with really the most horrible things you can imagine." She added: "[The authorities] tell us to report every bad message. But I mean, I would be doing that for years, so that's not possible." A spokesperson for the All England Club commented: "The safety and wellbeing of all players at Wimbledon is our top priority and this extends to threats and abuse made online. "The steps we are taking with Threat Matrix means that perpetrators of online abuse should understand that they will face consequences for their actions."
