Yvette Cooper defends arrest of more than 500 people after Palestine Action protests
Yvette Cooper has defended the arrest of more than 500 people for holding signs supporting Palestine Action. The home secretary said protesters over the weekend may have been objecting to the group being proscribed as a terror group because they "don't know the full nature of this organisation". Ms Cooper said that could be due to reporting restrictions on court hearings "while serious prosecutions are underway". Politics latest: A total of on suspicion of supporting a proscribed organisation contrary to Section 13 of the Terrorism Act 2000. Around half of them (259) were aged 60 and above - including almost 100 people who were in their 70s. The Met Police said it was the largest number of arrests it had made related to a single operation in at least the past decade. Ms Cooper added: "Proscription is not about protest around Palestine or Gaza, where we had tens of thousands of people protesting lawfully just this weekend about some of the horrendous events that we've seen in the Middle East." She said members of Palestine Action have carried out violent attacks causing injuries and involving weapons and smoke bombs "causing panic among innocent people" and major criminal damage against national security infrastructure. The home secretary added there had been "clear security assessments and advice" before Palestine Action was proscribed as a terror organisation in July. Human rights group about the arrests this weekend. Its UK chief executive, Sacha Deshmukh, said: "The protesters in Parliament Square were not inciting violence and it is entirely disproportionate to the point of absurdity to be treating them as terrorists. "Instead of criminalising peaceful demonstrators, the government should be focusing on taking immediate and unequivocal action to put a stop to Israel's genocide and ending any risk of UK complicity in it."

Two arrested in investigation into attempted murder of senior police officer
Two men have been arrested by detectives investigating the attempted murder of a senior police officer in Co Tyrone. Detective Chief Inspector John Caldwell was seriously injured after being shot several times at a leisure centre in Omagh in February 2023. The attack happened while he was off duty and with his young son, packing up after coaching a youth football team. On Monday the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) said two men had been arrested. They said a 45-year-old was arrested in the Stewartstown area, and a 25-year-old man was arrested in west Belfast earlier on Monday. They were detained under the Terrorism Act. 'They have been taken to Musgrave Serious Crime Suite for questioning,' the PSNI said. 'A property in west Belfast was searched and a vehicle seized.' Several people have already been arrested and charged in relation to the shooting, which police linked to dissident republicans. Mr Caldwell retired from the PSNI last December on medical grounds.
