Indigenous man dies in police custody in Northern Territory
An Indigenous man has died in police custody in the Northern Territory, the same day as hundreds protested in Sydney and Brisbane over the death of 24-year-old Indigenous man, Kumanjayi White, in Alice Springs last month. The Northern Territory police force said the 68-year-old man died in Royal Darwin hospital on Saturday, and they would investigate the death on behalf of the coroner. He was arrested on 30 May, after the Australian federal police received reports of the man being intoxicated and unable to board a flight out of Darwin at 1pm. He was taken into protective custody and initially conveyed to the Palmerston watchhouse. He was then transported to the Royal Darwin hospital for further assessment. Sign up for Guardian Australia's breaking news email The police said the man lost consciousness on arrival at the hospital, with medical staff successfully performing CPR. He was transferred to an intensive care unit in a stable condition for a suspected medical event. The man died in the ICU on Saturday, with the cause of death undetermined, pending a postmortem examination. A spokesperson for the NT police said it is being investigated as a death in custody 'as the man was in the custody of the AFP at the time of him first losing consciousness'. Police confirmed the man is Aboriginal and his next of kin have been notified. The man's death happened the same day as hundreds protested in Sydney and Brisbane over the death of 24-year-old Indigenous man, Kumanjayi White, after being restrained by the police in the Northern Territory. Police alleged that the Warlpiri man was shoplifting when plainclothes officers stepped in to assist the store's security guard. The NT police 'respectfully' rejected a request from White's family that an inquiry independent of police be undertaken in 'a culturally safe manner', and there have been calls for the AFP to take over the investigation.

'We don't trust this government and its police force to keep us safe,' said the CLC chair, Warren Williams, who is also White's uncle. Last week marked five years since tens of thousands defied Covid restrictions in Australia to march in Black Lives Matter protests across the country, calling for an end to Indigenous deaths in custody.

20 years on from the febrile aftermath of London's 7/7 bombings, a heart-stopping minute by minute account of the day Scotland Yard's first ever shoot-to-kill operation ended in the... CATASTROPHIC death of an innocent man
Twenty years ago, London was a city under attack, living on its nerves. Out of the blue that summer of 2005, the capital's transport system was hit by a murderous wave of al-Qaeda bombers, with devastating results. Ordinary folk going about their everyday lives died in the onslaught. Hundreds were mutilated. London knew all about terrorist bombs from years of enduring attacks by various Irish factions. But here was something new to these shores and infinitely more terrifying – the suicide bomber hell-bent on martyrdom. To Commissioner of Police Sir Ian Blair it was a door opening into a new kind of terrorism. 'The IRA and the Loyalists never did anything the size of this. This was a step change.'

British sailor arrested in Portugal on suspicion of attempted murder 'after throwing girlfriend who couldn't swim into river'
A British yachtsman has been arrested on suspicion of attempted murder after allegedly throwing his non-swimmer partner into a Portuguese river. The 60-year-old sailor was accused of abandoning the scene as his girlfriend, saved by the crew of another boat who saw her in distress, started to drown. The drama occurred on the River Tagus off the town of Oeiras in the western part of Lisbon's metropolitan area. The unnamed Brit was tracked down and arrested and remanded in custody pending an ongoing criminal investigation after being hauled before a judge. He is continuing to be probed on suspicion of domestic violence and attempted homicide. The woman, who has been described as a foreigner and is also thought to be British although police haven't released her nationality, was hospitalised after the incident. Her current condition is not known. Public prosecutors told local press the couple had started dating around a year ago and had lived together in the yacht owned by the man who has been arrested since December last year. One told respected Portuguese newspaper Correio da Manha the British skipper allegedly 'threw his victim into the river during a row' before abandoning the scene on his yacht 'knowing she couldn't swim.' Maritime Police intercepted the suspect before he was formally arrested by officers from Portugal's PSP police force. The arrest is understood to have happened hours after the May 30 incident. The yacht has been seized by investigators. Portuguese police could not be reached early this morning for a formal comment. The Tagus is the longest river in the Iberian peninsula. It rises in the Sierra de Albarracin in eastern Spain, about 90 miles from the Mediterranean coast, and flows westward across Spain and Portugal for 626 miles to empty into the Atlantic Ocean near Lisbon.
