Tennessee: Man tries to detonate 14 explosive devices while being arrested
Police in Tennessee have discovered 14 improvised explosive devices in a man's home as they were arresting him, the local sheriff's office said. Officers were executing a warrant in the home of Kevin Wade O'Neal in Old Fort, about 45 miles (70km) east of Chattanooga, after he had threatened to kill public officials and law enforcement personnel in Polk County. After arresting the 54-year-old, officers noticed "something smouldering" in the bedroom where he was found. On closer inspection, they discovered an improvised explosive device and evacuated the house until bomb squad officers arrived at the scene. Fourteen devices were found inside the property - none of which detonated. O'Neal was charged with 11 counts of attempted first-degree murder, corresponding to nine officers and two other people inside the property when the suspect tried to detonate the devices. He also faces 14 counts of prohibited weapons and one count of possession of explosive components.

Seventh suspect arrested over RAF Brize Norton break in after vandals caused £7m worth of damage to two military aircraft
A seventh suspect has been arrested over a break-in at RAF Brize Norton during which two military aircraft were damaged. The 22-year-old man was detained on Friday in Bedford on suspicion of the commission, preparation or instigation of acts of terrorism. The incident saw activists break into the Oxfordshire air base and spray paint on two RAF Voyager planes, causing £7million worth of damage. Palestine Action, which has since been proscribed under terrorism legislation, said it was behind the incident. Last month, four people were charged and remanded in custody over the break-in in June. A 41-year-old woman was released on bail, while a man was freed without charge. Footage from the incident showed two people inside the base at night. One could be seen riding a scooter up to a Voyager and spraying paint into its jet engine. Palestine Action also said activists had used crowbars to damage planes. The Government moved to proscribe the group under anti-terror laws after the group claimed responsibility for the action. Some 81 organisations have been proscribed under the 2000 Act, including Islamist terrorist groups such as Hamas and al Qaida, far-right groups such as National Action, and Russian private military company Wagner Group. Another 14 organisations connected with Northern Ireland are also banned under previous legislation, including the IRA and UDA.

Trump news at a glance: inquiry launched into Trump prosecutor as backlash grows over firing of statistics chief
The US office of special counsel, an independent federal agency, confirmed to NBC News that it is investigating former Department of Justice prosecutor Jack Smith for possible violations of the Hatch Act. Smith led investigations into Donald Trump's part in the 6 January US Capitol riot and alleged mishandling of classified documents. It comes as senior Republican lawmakers condemn the decision of their party leader, Trump, to fire the leading US labor market statistician after a report that showed the national economy added just 73,000 jobs – far fewer than expected – in July. Trump claimed, without evidence, that the numbers were 'RIGGED in order to make the Republicans, and ME, look bad' and the US economy was, in fact, 'BOOMING' on his watch. Here are the key US politics stories of the day: The confirmation of an investigation into Jack Smith comes after Arkansas senator Tom Cotton, a Republican, requested last week that Smith be investigated for 'unprecedented interference in the 2024 election'. The Hatch Act, a federal law passed in 1939, limits certain political activities of federal employees. Trump, along with other prominent Republican lawmakers, have argued that Smith's investigations into Trump amounted to illegal political activity. Smith ultimately brought two criminal indictments against Trump in 2023 but resigned in January this year before either came to trial. Read the full story The firing of Erika McEntarfer, who had been confirmed to her role in January 2024 during Joe Biden's presidency, has alarmed members of Trump's own party. 'If the president is firing the statistician because he doesn't like the numbers but they are accurate, then that's a problem,' said Wyoming Republican senator Cynthia Lummis. 'It's not the statistician's fault if the numbers are accurate and that they're not what the president had hoped for.' Kentucky senator Rand Paul, another Republican, questioned whether McEntarfer's firing was an effective way of improving the numbers. Read the full story Donald Trump says he considers Sean ''Diddy' Combs 'sort of half-innocent' despite his criminal conviction in federal court in July – but the president called pardoning the music mogul 'more difficult' because of past criticism. 'When I ran for office, he was very hostile,' Trump said of the Bad Boy Records founder. 'It's hard, you know? We're human beings. And we don't like to have things cloud our judgment, right? But when you knew someone and you were fine, and then you run for office, and he made some terrible statements.' Combs was found guilty on 2 July of two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, with each leaving him facing up to 10 years in prison – but he was acquitted of more serious sex-trafficking and racketeering conspiracy charges. Read the full story Tulsi Gabbard, the director of US national intelligence, hoped to uncover evidence that Barack Obama and his national security team conspired to undermine Donald Trump in a slow-motion coup. But a previously classified annexe to a report by another special counsel, John Durham – appointed towards the end of Trump's first presidency – has further undermined Gabbard's case. It confirms that Russian spies were behind the emails that were originally released as the result of a Russian cyber-hack of internal Democratic information channels and which Trump supporters believed showed the campaign of Hillary Clinton, his 2016 opponent, conspiring to accuse him of colluding with Moscow. Read the full story The Trump administration terminated 1,902 National Institutes of Health grants totalling more than $4.4bn between January and the end of July, according to Grant Witness data. NIH followed guidance from the so-called 'department of government efficiency' (Doge) and Trump's executive orders to cut costs. According to Donald Trump's White House, the US economy is booming, inflation is dead and jobs are surging. A blizzard of economic reports has cast a pall on such claims in recent days. Catching up? Here's what happened 1 August 2025.
