UK immigration protests escalate with clashes and arrests
Further scuffles broke out at anti-immigration protests in the UK on Saturday, with police making several arrests.Demonstrators calling for mass "remigration" gathered in central Manchester , northwest England, for a march organised by the far-right " Britain First " group, which was confronted by anti-racism groups.Meanwhile in central London , rival demonstrators converged outside a hotel housing asylum seekers, following similar recent events that have occasionally turned violent.In Manchester, the two groups clashed briefly at the start of the protest before police split them up, according to an AFP journalist at the scene. "Send them back, don't let them in -- just stop them coming in, we've got hotels full of immigrants and we've got our own homeless people in the streets begging for food but nowhere to live," said protestor Brendan O'Reilly, 66.Counter-protestor Judy, a 60-year-old retired nurse, told AFP she was there "because I don't want to see people full of hate on the streets of Manchester. ""Do they want them all to go back or is it just people with brown skin? I suspect it's just people with brown skin that they want to re-migrate," she added.In London, similar clashes erupted outside a hotel in the Barbican neighbourhood before police intervened.Metropolitan Police wrote on X that officers had cleared a junction where counter-protesters had assembled in breach of the conditions in place. "There have been nine arrests so far, with seven for breaching Public Order Act conditions," added the force.There have been several flashpoints around the UK in recent weeks, most notably in the north-east London neighbourhood of Epping.

British daily The Times reported on the 2nd (local time) that people in their 70s now look as young ..
Looking at old family photo albums, many of today's 75-year-old seniors look like 60 years old in the past. I smoke less and take care of my skin moreThe sharp decline in the proportion of baby boomers smoking also affected it. In particular, the aging process of the baby boomers, the second oldest participant, was most clearly delayed. This means that 60 years old cannot be fully biologically 50 years old, but 56 years old, The Times said. Rather, the health of younger generations than baby boomers may deteriorate, The Times analyzed.

Investigation into death of serving Workington prisoner Tony Joynes
Tony Joynes, 47, was sentenced at Carlisle Crown Court in 2020 for a terrifying axe and knife attack on a local couple. The jury rejected his claims and found Joynes, who at that time had no fixed address, unanimously guilty of both offences. Announcing that an investigation is now "in progress", the Ombudsman’s website stated that Joynes passed away on July 13. At the time of his death, he was a serving prisoner at HMP Garth, a Category B prison located at Ulnes Walton, Lancashire. Passing sentence, Judge Nicholas Barker said he was satisfied that the violence meted out by Joynes was planned and intentional.

Actor Gary Busey pleads guilty to sexual offence at horror convention
Busey entered a guilty plea to a single count of criminal sexual contact during a virtual hearing in state court in Camden on Thursday. He was initially charged with two counts of fourth-degree criminal sexual contact, one count of attempted criminal sexual contact and one count of harassment. Busey’s lawyer Blair Zwillman confirmed on Friday that the other charges were dropped as part of a plea deal reached with prosecutors. The actor faces up to five years’ probation and fines when he is sentenced September 18. “In my view Mr Busey was ‘overcharged’ probably based on his star status,” Mr Zwillman said in an email.
