No-nonsense French security flips pro-Palestine protester trying to disrupt Tour de France over metal barrier
A no-nonsense French security guard flipped a pro-Palestine demonstrator clean over a metal barrier in front of stunned crowds at the Tour de France. The activist, seen in footage wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the slogan ' Israel out of the Tour' and waving a keffiyeh - a symbol of Palestinian solidarity - stormed onto the main track on Wednesday in a protest against Israel's participation in the iconic cycling race. Sprinting dangerously close to oncoming riders, the protester held his arms up as cyclists powering towards the finish line in Toulouse swerve past him at high speed. But within seconds, a fast-acting security guard intercepted the man with a ferocious tackle - slamming him into a barrier and hauling him over it. The shocking takedown, just 25 metres from the stage 11 finish line, drew gasps from onlookers as security scrambled to restrain the protester amid the chaos. The guard could be seen grappling with the man on the ground, even launching his walkie-talkie at him while calling for back-up at the sporting event. Startled biking fans then appear to stop the guard and push him back slightly. Footage from the scene shows shocked spectators stepping in to calm the situation as the scuffle spilled into the packed crowd. The protest was aimed at the Israel Premier-Tech team, which is officially registered in Israel, although it features no Israeli riders in this year's race. Stage 11 of the tour stretched 15.8km around Toulouse, with Norway's Jonas Abrahamsen narrowly edging out Switzerland's Mauro Schmid in the sprint finish - an athletic triumph briefly over-shadowed by the mid-race political stunt. This is the latest in a string of demonstrations targeting Israeli participation in sporting events. Just weeks ago, two individuals were arrested outside the World Indoor Bowling Championships in Aberdeen during a protest against Israeli athlete Boaz Markus. Footage from the scene showed dozens of pro-Palestinian activists waving flags and chanting before being escorted away by police. In February, Celtic fans unfurled an anti-Zionist banner during a Champions League match in Munich, reigniting concerns over repeated political messaging from sections of the club's supporters. While the Tour de France is no stranger to protests, the speed and force of Wednesday's intervention left viewers reeling – with many praising the guard's swift response in ensuring rider safety was not compromised. The Tour continues through France's most scenic and challenging terrain, with the final stage set to culminate on the Champs-Élysées in Paris on July 27.

Sacked Latitude steward who pretended to be festival security guard is jailed for sex with 15-year-old girl after plying her with alcohol
A man who pretended to be a security guard at a music festival has been jailed after plying a 15-year-old girl with alcohol before having sex with the teenager. Alex Stokes, 32, had been working at Latitude Festival in Henham Park, Suffolk, as a steward before he encountered the girl and a friend. He told them he was a security guard, but in truth he had been dismissed earlier that weekend from his role as a steward. The two girls told him they were both 15 and that they had been drinking alcohol during the incident on July 23, 2022. Stokes was jailed for 42 months at Ipswich Crown Court on Friday (July 11), having been convicted of having penetrative sex with a 15-year-old. The court heard Stokes spent time with the victim and her friend in one of the music tents, where he provided them with more alcohol, they said. When they moved outside the tent, Stokes had sex with the victim. The two friends managed to get away from him by saying they needed to use the toilets. A festival-goer spotted them in a state of distress, with the victim disclosing what had happened. After they got to the welfare tent, the festival's safeguarding lead called the police. Stokes should have surrendered his pass and not re-entered the site after his dismissal as a steward. He was also found not guilty of rape of the victim and sexual assault against a second person. Stokes, formerly of Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, was also made subject of a 10-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order. Detective Constable Sam Jones said: 'Alex Stokes took advantage of a young girl, who was almost half his age at the time of the offence and who had told him she was just 15 - having only turned 15 a matter of days before. 'He deliberately attempted to gain the trust of the victim and her friend by claiming to be a security guard and the fact that he continued to provide them with alcohol, demonstrates clear predatory behaviour towards a vulnerable teenage girl. 'I would like to pay tribute to the victim and her friend for their bravery in working with us to secure this conviction. 'This incident will no doubt have had a huge impact on them at such a young age, but I hope Stokes' conviction will enable them both to move forward with their lives.'

Suspect wanted in shooting at South Philadelphia night club that injured 8, police say
Philadelphia police are searching for a suspect in connection with the shooting outside a South Philly night club that injured eight people over the Fourth of July weekend. Police said the suspect has a heavy build with a full beard and tattoos on his arms. According to police, he was last seen wearing a white t-shirt, blue sweatpants and light gray sneakers with a large gold chain and charm. The shooting at 7 Elements restaurant, bar and lounge on 11th Street and Washington Avenue happened on July 5 just before 4 a.m., according to police. Five men and three women, ranging in age from 25 to 43 years old, were wounded in the shooting. They were all placed in stable condition. Last week, Philadelphia police charged 43-year-old Michael Welton, who was working as a security guard at the time of the shooting, with attempted murder, aggravated assault and other offenses. Police said Welton admitted to discharging a firearm in the shooting. Police said the shooting appears to have stemmed from an argument at 7 Elements. Days later, another shooting in South Philadelphia's Grays Ferry neighborhood left three people dead and nine others injured. Police are looking for multiple suspects in that shooting.
