Man admits killing mum and daughter and injuring three in Boxing Day crash
A man has admitted causing the deaths of a mother and daughter and seriously injuring three others in a Boxing Day crash. Amanda Riley, 49, and Linda Philips, 72, both died on December 26 2023, following a collision involving Mohammed Ibrahim's BMW on East Meadway in Shard End, Birmingham, and three others were left injured. The 25-year-old defendant, who was 23 at the time of the collision and from Sheldon in Birmingham, was charged by West Midlands Police last month and appeared at the city's crown court on Wednesday. Appearing in the dock wearing black and carrying a holdall, Ibrahim pleaded guilty to two counts of causing death by dangerous driving and three counts of causing serious injury by dangerous driving in front of a packed public gallery. Judge Andrew Smith KC said Ibrahim would be facing a substantial prison sentence due to the 'combined gravity' of the charges he had admitted. The defendant, who arrived at the court hearing in a taxi, according to his barrister, and stood in the dock with his hands clasped in front of him, was remanded into custody until he is sentenced on July 16. The judge said: 'You know that the serious charges you have pleaded guilty to will lead to you receiving a substantial term of imprisonment. 'You will be sentenced on the 16th of July and between now and then, you will remain in custody. You can now go with the dock officer.' At the time of the collision, police said a BMW 4 Series, a MG ZS and a quad bike were involved, and Mrs Philips and Ms Riley were passengers in the MG. In a statement released in the weeks after their deaths, the family said: 'Linda and Amanda, mother and daughter, were cruelly taken from us on Boxing Day. 'Linda was a beautiful and dearly loved wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, sister, auntie and so much more. Her husband, children, grandchildren and family loved Linda very much, and Linda absolutely adored her family. 'Amanda was a beautiful and much-loved mother, daughter, grandmother, sister and auntie. 'Amanda's parents, daughters, and grandchildren loved her so much, and Amanda was the apple of her grandchildren's eye.'

Ibrahim lauds Al-Qadsiya's resilience despite defeat in the Gulf Champions League final
KUWAIT CITY, April 16: Former Al-Qadsiya and national team coach Mohammed Ibrahim, known as 'The General,' has commended Zeljko Petrovic for his successful tenure with the team, emphasizing the positive impact the Montenegrin coach has had on the squad this season. Ibrahim highlighted the Al-Qadsiya board of directors' strong support for the team, along with the technical and administrative staff's efforts in maintaining high player focus, especially with the added strain of frequent travels for the Gulf Champions League alongside local tournament commitments. Reflecting on the team's challenges before the Gulf Champions League final, Ibrahim noted the difficult circumstances Al-Qadsiya faced. The team was without Hussein Dhahiri due to suspension, Moaz Al-Dhafiri was injured the day before the match, and the loss of Khaled Ibrahim, who was forced off injured in the first half, was another setback. Despite these challenges, Ibrahim praised the technical staff's management of the match and their decision to include young talents like Khaled Sabah, Faisal Al-Shatti, Jassim Al-Matar, and Abdullah Mutawa. Ibrahim congratulated the Qadisiya players, the board of directors, and the administrative and technical staff, led by Sheikh Fahad Talal, for their outstanding performance in the Gulf Championship despite the obstacles they faced. Following their return from Iraq, Al-Qadsiya resumed training today in preparation for their upcoming match against Al-Tadamon on Sunday in the second round of the tournament's group stage. In the final, Al-Qadsiya suffered a 2-1 loss to Iraqi club Duhok in the second leg of the Gulf Champions League the day before yesterday. In post-match comments, Petrovic criticized the referee's decisions, stating, 'It's difficult to win under these conditions. The referee didn't award many free kicks to my team, but he was quick to give them to the home side.' The emotional coach was seen tearing up after Omani referee Qassim Al-Hatmi blew the final whistle. Meanwhile, Mohammed Soula, Al-Qadsiya's Libyan professional, pointed to a lack of concentration in the final moments of the match as the key reason for the team's defeat.

Seven Civilians Killed in Syria UXO Blast, Says War Monitor
At least seven civilians, including a woman and a child, were killed on Thursday when unexploded munitions ignited at a house in northwestern Syria, a war monitor said. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported the deadly blast a day after another organization said two-thirds of Syrians risked being killed or wounded by unexploded ordnance. "Seven civilians, including a woman and a child, were killed when leftover munitions stored inside a house" in Idlib province exploded, the Observatory said. An AFP correspondent saw civil defense teams retrieving bodies from the rubble of the destroyed house in Al-Nayrab on the outskirts of the main northern city of Aleppo. Civil defense worker Mohammed Ibrahim said they had been called to the scene of an "explosion of unknown provenance". "When teams headed to the site, they found unexploded ordnance," he added. The Observatory said the owner of the house was a scrap dealer who collected unexploded ordnance for its metal content. Residents told AFP that the owner had stored the munitions adjacent to the house. Journalists were not allowed to approach the site for fear of further explosions. Non-governmental organization Humanity and Inclusion had warned on Wednesday of the dangers posed by unexploded munitions left over from the devastating civil war that erupted in 2011. It said experts estimated that between 100,000 and 300,000 of the roughly one million munitions used during the war had never detonated. It's "an absolute disaster", the group's Syria program director Danila Zizi said, adding that "more than 15 million people (are) at risk" out of a resident population of some 23 million. As hundreds of thousands of Syrians return to their homes after opposition factions finally toppled Bashar al-Assad in December, "urgent action is needed to mitigate the risk of accident", the group said. According to UN figures, more than one million people have returned to their homes since Assad fled, 280,000 of them from abroad. Zizi said that the crude barrel bombs used in large numbers by Assad's air force during the war had a "higher rate of failing" than other munitions. She said that mines planted by ISIS group militants during their slow retreat in the late 2010s meant there were also "lots of booby traps that have never been really marked or mapped". In January alone, 125 unexploded ordnance accidents were recorded in which at least 85 people were killed and 152 injured, Humanity and Inclusion said. Most of the casualties have been farmers tending their fields or flocks, or children playing outdoors, it said.
