An armed police officer at the scene of a stabbing incident at Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation synagogue in Crumpsall, Manchester, England. Officers shot and killed the suspect outside Manchester, police said, though authorities took some time to confirm he was dead because he was wearing a vest that made it appear as if he had explosives. He said police believe they know the identity of the man who carried out the attack but have not confirmed it. Chief Constable Stephen Watson said the man drove directly at pedestrians outside the synagogue and then attacked them with a knife. On the sidewalk outside the synagogue gate nearby, the body of another person lay in a pool of blood.

The attack killed two people and seriously injured four others. I am horrified by today’s reports of an attack at a synagogue in Manchester, UK on Yom Kippur. He said “additional police assets” were being sent to protect synagogues across the country. “It’s this new feeling among the community that this place is no longer safe,” said Chen Bass, 27, an Orthodox Jew and mother of two. Mr. Luftag called the moment “the beginning of a new era” and said Jews were not safe in England.
Like other metropolitan centers in Britain, Manchester has absorbed waves of immigration over the centuries. Manchester, one of England’s biggest metropolitan areas, is home to the largest Jewish community in the country outside London, numbering around 30,000 people. They live in the city alongside an even larger population that identifies as Muslim, which makes up one-fifth of the city’s 550,000 citizens. When Uganda, a former British protectorate, expelled Asian residents in 1972, Britain decided it had a responsibility to welcome them. And the diversity of the city’s population has drawn people from many more countries to make their homes there.

Cases include doctors suspended abroad over their care of patients and one medic who lost his medical licence overseas for having sex with a patient. In other cases, the GMC was aware of an overseas sanction but still decided the person could work in the UK. Of these, 25 doctors do not currently have a licence to practise in the UK, though they may have worked in the UK previously. “We also always actively seek information from overseas regulators when doctors who have been working in other countries apply to register with us.

The statement "confirms that foreign exchange market interventions are an important monetary policy instrument for the SNB in ensuring appropriate monetary conditions and thus meeting its statutory mandate with respect to price stability. "While that could be read as giving the SNB some wiggle room in its choice of currency intervention pair, it also underlines the sensitivity of the currency for Washington in trade talks.And most analysts assume one of the main goals of Donald Trump's broader trade policy is to weaken what the administration sees as a grossly overvalued dollar.

Justin Baldoni is being sued by The New York Times for legal fees after his defamation suit over its Blake Lively story was dismissed. In the latest legal round linked to the hit 2024 romantic drama It Ends with Us, the newspaper is seeking $150,000 (£111,000) in legal fees it spent on the suit Baldoni filed, which was dismissed by a federal judge in June. The New York Times named Baldoni's production company Wayfarer Productions in legal documents submitted to New York's Supreme Court on Tuesday, The Wrap reports. The story was titled We Can Bury Anyone: Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine and was published in December 2024. Lively claimed Baldoni had sexually harassed her while making It Ends with Us, which was a surprise hit when it opened in cinemas in August 2024.
