Missing Girls' Families Slam Police Over Letter

Written By Unknown on Sabtu, 07 Maret 2015 | 12.25

The families of three London schoolgirls feared to have fled to Syria to become jihadi brides have accused the Metropolitan Police of failing to pass on a crucial letter.

They say a letter from the force requesting to interview the girls in relation to a classmate who ran off to Syria last year should have been handed directly to the families.

However, the letters were hidden by the girls in their school textbooks and their families never saw them.

Shamima Begum, 15, Kadiza Sultana, 16, and 15-year-old Amira Abase, who attended Bethnal Green Academy in east London, sparked a police hunt after they flew to Istanbul from Gatwick Airport last month and are now believed to be in Syria.

Abase Hussein, the father of Amira, insisted that if he had seen the police letter he would have talked his daughter out of leaving and taken away her passport.

Halima Khanom, sister of Kadiza Sultana, said: "We wouldn't have been here today doing this if we'd got that letter and known what was going on."

Scotland Yard confirmed that it sent letters out to the three girls after their friend disappeared in December and that they were also spoken to by officers as part of a "routine inquiry".

A Metropolitan Police statement said: "The Metropolitan Police Service has been engaged with staff at the girls' school since December 2014 as part of the routine inquiry by officers investigating the disappearance of their friend.

"There was nothing to suggest at the time that the girls themselves were at risk and indeed their disappearance has come as a great surprise, not least to their own families.

"The girls were spoken to in December 2014 as part of the routine inquiry by officers investigating the disappearance of their friend.

"We continue to liaise with the school and local education authority in connection with this ongoing investigation."

Family Demands Names Of New Child Abuse Files

By Tom Parmenter, Sky News Correspondent

The Government's refusal to reveal the titles of four files related to child abuse has been branded "disgusting" by the family of a boy missing since 1979.

It is now over a month since the Cabinet Office confirmed it had found four more files relevant to the ongoing child abuse inquiries centred on VIPs in Westminster.

Officials have promised the files will be handed over to the police and various inquiries but they are still refusing to allow the titles of the files to be made public, let alone the contents.

At the start of February Cabinet Office minister Francis Maude said: "Officials have identified four additional relevant files, one of which was marked for destruction."

Despite repeated requests from Sky News over the course of the last month officials at the Government department say their position remains unchanged.

It has angered many survivors and campaigners, not least the family of Martin Allen who was 15 years old when he vanished in London nearly 35 years ago.

The teenager was last seen on the London Underground with an unidentified man at Gloucester Road station on 5 November 1979.

His brother Kevin Allen told Sky News he was "pretty definite" there is a link between the establishment abuse networks in Westminster and his brother's disappearance.

He said he could not accept that the names of the files are still being withheld.

"It makes me very angry, because these people have got a hold over us.

"It is our information, these people are our employees taking our money which is more than 'Mr Average' earns probably in the course of a month. It is disgusting.

"It is our lives they are playing with. I hope they can sleep at night."

Mr Allen is in regular contact with Met police detectives leading abuse inquiries which include allegations boys were killed.

While the content of the files may be sensitive, refusing to reveal the names means the public has no way of tracking them or knowing how they are being dealt with.

It follows a Sky News investigation which unearthed another classified file in January that the Cabinet Office had kept closed on grounds of national security.

After MPs raised the issue in the House of Commons, government officials were forced to release it to the National Archives.

The documents revealed former British diplomat, the late Sir Peter Hayman, was the subject of the secret file. The papers documented his "unnatural" sexual behaviour and his activities within the Paedophile Information Exchange group.

Neither the Hayman file nor the four new files were found during an earlier Home Office-commissioned search for documents relevant to ongoing abuse inquiries.

The Cabinet Office declined to make Mr Maude available for interview.

Shotgun Certificates Issued To Hundreds Of Kids

Written By Unknown on Jumat, 06 Maret 2015 | 12.25

By Siobhan Robbins, West Of England Correspondent

Figures obtained exclusively by Sky News have revealed that eight-year-olds have been issued shotgun certificates by police in England.

A Freedom of Information request to all police forces in England and Wales shows in the last five years, eight-year-olds have received the certificates in Devon and Cornwall, Lancashire, Sussex and Kent.

Chief Superintendent Jim Nye from Devon and Cornwall Police said: "The Firearms Act of 1968 allows someone of that age to have a shotgun.

"Devon and Cornwall is very much a rural community, and the young persons who are asking for a certificate to be granted are generally brought up in a farming community where it's tradition and we don't give them out without (a) substantial amount of checks."

Sky News' Freedom of Information request showed more than 670 under 14s have been given shotgun certificates by police in the last five years.

Every force in the country was able to provide a five-year breakdown for under 14s except Greater Manchester, North Yorkshire, the Metropolitan Police, South Yorkshire, Essex and Sussex Police.

There is no minimum age for applying for a shotgun certificate in the UK, with the chief constable of each force deciding whether to issue the licence.

The law still prohibits people under 18 from owning or buying a shotgun, or using one without supervision.

Police recorded 7,709 offences involving firearms in 2013/14, down from 8,135 the year before.

However some campaigners fear that introducing children to guns at a young age may mean they turn to them in a crisis.

Christine Hall from Gun Control Network said: "The danger is it poses in the mind-set of the child that it's fun to kill things.

"It seems strange that a child can't go into a pub and have a pint but they can have access to a shotgun."

The British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC) is Britain's largest shooting organisation.

They actively encourage young people to try shooting sports.

A BASC spokesperson told Sky News that it supports the Home Office in guidance on firearms law, which has said: "It is in the interests of safety that a young person who is to handle firearms should be properly taught at a relatively early age."

They added: "For many children growing up in families where shooting is a part of life, acquiring a shotgun certificate is part of training in shooting safely which emphasises responsibility and self-discipline.

"This can only be to the public benefit and as the police confirm is no threat to public safety."

New Parking Ticket Rules End 'War On Drivers'

Drivers are to get ten minutes' grace before being given a ticket if they stay too long on council parking spots.

The changes in the law in England are expected to come in within weeks and will apply to all on-street and off-street council parking spots.

Other measures in the Deregulation Bill include a right for residents and local firms to demand their council reviews parking in their area.

CCTV camera cars that automatically issue parking fines are to be made illegal - apart from in areas near schools and in bus lanes.

Communities Secretary Eric Pickles said: "We are ending the war on drivers who simply want to go about their daily business.

"For too long parking rules have made law-abiding motorists feel like criminals, and caused enormous damage to shops and businesses.

"Over-zealous parking enforcement undermines our town centres and costs councils more in the long term."

Fines at out-of-order parking meters when there is no alternative way to pay will also be scrapped.

    Penalty Charge Notices (PCNs) are usually issued by local councils or Transport For London for alleged contraventions in council-owned car parks or on-street parking infringements.

If you pay within 14 days, you usually receive a 50 per cent discount. Any appeal should be made within this period so that even if your appeal is unsuccessful, you will still pay the reduced fee.

Stepbrother Charged With Murder Of Becky Watts

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 05 Maret 2015 | 12.25

The stepbrother of Bristol teen Becky Watts, 16, has been charged with her murder, Avon and Somerset Police have said.

Nathan Matthews, 28, has been identified as the teenager's stepbrother by family members.

His girlfriend Shauna Hoare, 21, who goes by the name Shauna Phillips on social media, has been charged with intending to pervert the course of justice.

Both are due before Bristol Magistrates' Court this morning. 

Four men and woman, who were arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender, remain in police custody. Officers were granted a further 24 hours to question the five, all in their 20s, by a magistrate earlier on Wednesday. 

Becky disappeared from her home in Crown Hill, in the St George area of Bristol, on 19 February. Her family reported her missing the following day.

Police on Tuesday said body parts had been found at a house in the Barton Hill area of the city.

Formal identification has not yet been completed.

Scientists Need Public Cash To Fund LSD Study

By Thomas Moore, Health And Science Correspondent

Scientists are asking the public to step in and fund a controversial study into the effect of LSD on the brain.

So far 20 volunteers have had brain scans while high on the hallucinogenic drug as part of a study that was given a small amount of funding by Imperial College London and the Beckley Foundation.

But the researchers, led by former government drugs tsar Professor David Nutt, need a further £25,000 to analyse the scans.

Prof Nutt launched an appeal on the science crowdfunding site Walacea.com after traditional research councils and other groups refused to fund the study because it involved an illegal recreational drug.

He said: "Despite the incredible potential of this drug to further our understanding of the brain, political stigma has silenced research.

"We must not play politics with promising science that has so much potential for good."

Prof Nutt said research in the 1960s suggested LSD could be used to treat addiction, depression and chronic pain.

Yet since being made illegal in 1967 there has only been one clinical study and two neuroscience studies.

"That is an absurd amount of censorship," said Prof Nutt, who was sacked as the government's chief drugs advisor after saying ecstasy and LSD were less harmful than alcohol.

The 20 volunteers in the new study were injected with a "moderate" dose of LSD.

None of the participants reported having a bad experience, though three said they had some anxiety and temporary paranoia.

Another of the researchers, Dr Robin Carhart-Harris of Imperial College London, said: "What's especially intriguing is that people can have a very challenging experience yet afterwards they seem to be somehow psychologically refreshed by the experience."

Becky Watts Search: Police Find Body Parts

The family of Becky Watts have said they are "devastated" after police looking for the missing 16-year-old announced they had found body parts.

A massive search for the teenager has been under way since she was reported missing from her home in Bristol on 20 February.

Becky's family said in a statement they were "at an utter loss to understand why anyone would want to hurt our beautiful Becky in such a brutal way".

Two people - a 28-year-old man and a 21-year-old woman - were arrested on Monday by Avon and Somerset Police on suspicion of murder.

Police have been granted an additional 24 hours to question the pair, who had previously been arrested on suspicion of Becky's kidnap.

Five other people - four men and a woman - have also been arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender.

Detective Superintendent Mike Courtiour said: "As a result of new information received late last night, we attended a house at Barton Court in the Barton Hill area of Bristol.

Anglo-Canadian Duo Swoops For Eurostar Stake

By Mark Kleinman, City Editor

A consortium of British and Canadian pension and infrastructure funds is poised to swoop on the government's stake in Eurostar in a deal that will raise hundreds of millions of pounds for the Treasury.

Sky News understands that Caisse de Depot et Placement du Quebec (CDPQ) and an infrastructure arm of Hermes, a major UK institutional investor, are close to a deal to buy the government's 40% shareholding.

The deal will be announced on Wednesday, a rail industry source said, although the price was unclear.

The stake was put up for sale last autumn as part of a plan outlined by George Osborne, the Chancellor, to raise £20bn from asset sales by the end of the decade.

Eurostar, which launched its inaugural service in 1994, has seen a surge in demand, with more than 10 million passengers travelling on its trains in 2013 alone.

Among the other bidders for the Eurostar stake were 3i, the private equity firm, a division of the French bank Credit Agricole and an arm of the Singaporean government.

The remainder of Eurostar is owned by SNCF, the French state-owned rail operator, which controls 55%, and the Belgian government.

CDPQ's involvement will mark the latest investment by a Canadian entity in the UK's rail infrastructure.

In 2010, the Canadian pension funds Borealis and Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan paid £2.1bn to take control of High Speed One, the line which runs from London to the Channel Tunnel.

The sale of the Eurostar stake will underline the continuing appeal of UK infrastructure assets to overseas investors despite some suggestions that political uncertainty ahead of the General Election could hamper such deals.

The Treasury declined to comment ahead of its announcement about the deal with CDPQ and Hermes Infrastructure.

England Footballer Arrested Over Sex Claim

Written By Unknown on Selasa, 03 Maret 2015 | 12.25

England and Sunderland player Adam Johnson has been released on bail after being arrested on suspicion of sexual activity with a girl under 16.

He has been suspended by the Premier League club, pending the outcome of the police investigation.

The 27-year-old winger was detained at his home earlier on Monday and questioned at Peterlee police station in County Durham.

Durham Constabulary said he was later bailed to return to the same police station at a future date.

Johnson had been due to travel with the Sunderland squad to Humberside ahead of Tuesday night's Premier League fixture at Hull.

He cost the Wearside club £10m when he joined in 2012 and he has scored 17 goals for them.

Born in Sunderland, he has represented his country 12 times and has also played for Middlesbrough and Manchester City.

In a statement, Durham police said: "A 27-year-old man was arrested earlier today on suspicion of sexual activity with a girl under 16."

Three British Plane Spotters Arrested In UAE

Three British plane spotters have been arrested in Dubai and are being held in prison.

Conrad Clitheroe, 53, and his friend Gary Cooper, 45, have been detained along with their former work colleague, expat Neil Munro, since February 21, according to Mr Clitheroe's wife Valerie.

The trio were reportedly taking notes near Fujairah Airport, about 80 miles from Dubai.

They were stopped by an off-duty policeman and were accused of committing a "national security offence".

It is understood the men are being held at Fujairah prison and the case is being dealt with by Dubai public prosecution.

Mr Clitheroe's wife says her husband is forced to share a cell with more than 20 men.

He was originally due to fly home on February 22 following a planned four-day trip.

She said: "We were just totally shocked when we heard and couldn't believe it was true.

"He's really choked up every time I've spoken to him. They're trying to help each other but it's difficult not knowing.

"They would never do anything that would risk national security. They weren't taking pictures. They didn't realise plane spotting was such an issue."

She has spoken to her husband three times on the telephone since his arrest and is worried about the state of his health.

"He's got high blood pressure and a heart murmur," she said. "He goes for regular check ups and takes quite a lot of medication which will have run out now."

One solicitor had told her it would cost her $30,000 (£20,000) for just one visit.

The charity Detained in Dubai has now intervened and is seeking the release of the three men.

Its founder Radha Stirling said: "All three friends have a shared hobby of plane spotting and were keen to see Fujairah airport, where many older and rarer aircrafts can be seen.

"The practice is legal in the UAE though not widely understood, nor appreciated by authorities."

A Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) spokesman said: "We can confirm the arrest of three British nationals in Dubai on 22 February. We are providing consular assistance at this time."

It is not the first time British plane spotters have got into trouble abroad. In 2010, two men were arrested in India after asking for a hotel room overlooking a civilian runway. In 2001, 12 spotters were held in Greece for taking photos at an air show.

Drug Drivers Beware: New Law Comes Into Force

Written By Unknown on Senin, 02 Maret 2015 | 12.25

Police have been given new powers to catch motorists driving under the influence of drugs.

Officers will no longer have to prove a driver was too impaired to be behind the wheel, just that they had an illegal level of substances in their system.

They will be able to prosecute drivers in England and Wales caught exceeding new legal limits for how much of a substance motorists can have in their system while driving.

The levels for the illegal drugs, which include heroin, cocaine and cannabis, virtually mean there will be zero tolerance for drivers apprehended with these substances in their system.

The prescription drugs for which legal levels have been set include morphine, methadone and diazepam. People using these drugs within recommended amounts will not be penalised.

Police will be able to use "drugalysers" to screen for cannabis and cocaine at the roadside.

They will also be able to test for these and other drugs, including ecstasy, LSD, ketamine and heroin, at a police station, even if a driver passes the roadside check.

Drivers who test positive will face a criminal record, loss of their licence for at least a year, and a fine of up to £5,000.

Around 200 people are killed on roads each year in Britain because of drug drivers.

Road Safety Minister Robert Goodwill said: "This new law will save lives. We know driving under the influence of drugs is extremely dangerous; it devastates families and ruins lives.

"The Government's message is clear - if you take drugs and drive, you are endangering yourself and others and you risk losing your licence and a conviction."

Emwazi 'Best Employee We Had', Says Ex-Boss

The former boss of the Briton identified in reports as the sadistic Islamic State killer "Jihadi John" has said he was "the best employee we ever had".

Mohammed Emwazi was "very good with people" and was "calm and decent", according to the head of an IT firm in Kuwait, which hired the then 21-year-old as a salesman.

He also expressed shock the person he had known was behind the reign of terror in the IS videos.

Emwazi, 26, is believed to have murdered at least five Western hostages, including Britons Alan Henning and David Haines.

His ex-boss told The Guardian newspaper: "He was the best employee we ever had.

"He was very good with people. Calm and decent. He came to our door and gave us his CV."

The executive added: "How could someone as calm and quiet as him become like the man who we saw on the news? It's just not logical that he could be this guy.

"Maybe he fell into the wrong hands when he went back."

Emwazi left the company suddenly in April 2010 after returning to London.

Further details about the killer came as emails emerged suggesting Emwazi considered suicide when he was a student, after suspecting MI5 was closing in on him.

He told a journalist in 2010 that he felt like a "dead man walking".

Emwazi had also contacted a campaign group after he was questioned by counter-terrorism officers while attempting to fly from Heathrow to his native Kuwait in 2010.

In emails to the CAGE organisation, he claimed the security services were "stopping him from living his new life" abroad, where he had secured a job and was getting married.

When Emwazi was first unmasked as "Jihadi John", representatives from CAGE described him as "extremely kind and gentle" and "the most humble young person we ever knew".

Meanwhile, divisions have opened up between the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats over whether radical preachers should be banned from university campuses.

Conservative Party chairman Grant Shapps revealed on Sky News there is a "difference of opinion" within the coalition.

It comes after a former student at the London university where Emwazi studied said the campus was a toxic environment of radical Islam.

The University of Westminster, where Emwazi studied from 2006 and 2009 and earned a computer programming degree, has vehemently denied the claim.

In an interview on Sky's Murnaghan programme, Mr Shapps said: "Vince Cable doesn't want to do what the Conservatives want to do, which is to make sure that on campus we do not have radical preachers saying things which incite violence which ultimately can lead to the radicalisation of young people."

The department headed by the Lib Dem Business Secretary is responsible for higher education.

Mr Shapps said: "We have seen these three girls go off to Syria. We have seen Jihadi John. We don't think that sort of preaching should happen in our universities.

MI5 Made Emwazi Feel Like 'A Dead Man Walking'

Written By Unknown on Minggu, 01 Maret 2015 | 12.25

The Londoner identified as "Jihadi John" told a journalist in 2010 that harassment by British security services had made him fear he was a "dead man walking", it has been revealed.

Years before his reign of terror in Islamic State videos began, Mohammed Emwazi emailed a reporter to claim that several run-ins with intelligence officials had left him contemplating suicide.

The 26-year-old described coming face-to-face with someone who he suspected was a British spy - months after he graduated from the University of Westminster.

Emwazi was attempting to sell a laptop when he became suspicious of the mystery buyer, according to messages he sent to a Mail on Sunday reporter.

He wrote: "Sometimes I feel like a dead man walking, not fearing they (MI5) may kill me.

"Rather, fearing that one day, I'll take as many pills as I can so that I will sleep for ever! I just want to get away from these people!"

The correspondence was released on Sunday night - hours after a tranche of messages between Emwazi and a campaign group emerged.

He began emailing the CAGE organisation after he was questioned by counter-terrorism officers while attempting to fly from Heathrow to his native Kuwait in 2010 - and claimed the security services were "stopping him from living his new life" abroad, where he had secured a job and was getting married.

In one message, the graduate wrote: "I feel like a prisoner, only not in a cage, (but) in London. A person imprisoned and controlled by security service men."

Emwazi appears vulnerable in several of his emails, and asks for advice in complaining to his MP and the Independent Police Complaints Commission about the treatment he had received.

After being told by British officials that he would not be allowed to move to Kuwait, he told CAGE: "I'm not going to give up!! I'm going to wait for my Dad to come back so that we can visit the Kuwaiti embassy in London… going to the embassy myself won't be successful."

The last email that Emwazi sent to CAGE in January 2012 showed no indication of the violent acts of terror he would soon be involved in - and had the subject title: "Smile, it's me again?! Sorry for the headaches I cause…"

When Emwazi was first unmasked as "Jihadi John" earlier this week, representatives from CAGE described him as "extremely kind and gentle" and "the most humble young person we ever knew".

He is believed to be involved in the cold-blooded murders of at least five Western aid workers and journalists who were taken hostage by Islamic State in Syria. They include two Britons: Alan Henning and David Haines.

The University of Westminster has been accused of allowing a toxic environment of radical Islam within the institution, a charge it vehemently denies. Emwazi earned a computer programming degree at one of its campuses.

Meanwhile, the high school where the militant studied, Quintin Kynaston Academy, is being investigated by the Department for Education - after a Sunday Telegraph report claimed that two other pupils from the north London school had been killed fighting for al Qaeda and al Shabaab.

A Government spokeswoman added: "The allegations about Quintin Kynaston may be historic - and it is clearly a completely different school today - but I'm sure we will look back at evidence from the time as part of this review to see if there are any lessons we can learn for the future."

'Toxic Environment' At Emwazi's University

A former student at Mohammed Emwazi's London university has told Sky News it allowed a toxic environment of radical Islam, where holy war was glorified behind closed doors.

The University of Westminster has insisted it condemns the promotion of radicalisation and is trying to stop it, after Emwazi was unmasked as the Islamic State militant "Jihadi John".

The unnamed ex-student said groups active at the university "created a hostile environment towards non-Muslims, were anti-Israeli and homophobic remarks were rampant at the campus".

He added: "If this toxic environment endured after I left I am not surprised a 'normal' young Muslim struggling to find identity became radicalised."

The former student added the university was "excellent" but "their tolerance was abused by people who played a double game".

The University said in a statement: "We condemn the promotion of radicalisation, terrorism and violence or threats against any member of our community.

"We have strict policies to promote tolerance among our 20,000 student community, who come to study from over 150 nations.

"Any student found to be engaging in radicalised activity or intimidating others would be subject to disciplinary procedures."

Emwazi, 26, studied at the university between 2006 and 2009, earning a computer programming degree.

Earlier, an ex-school pupil of Emwazi said he seemed peculiar and violent as a youngster.

The man, who does not want to be named, also told Sky News that Emwazi "got into some fights" and smoked, but there was nothing in his secondary school that could have left him radicalised.

However, he said there was potential for him to be groomed because he kept himself to himself and did not make eye contact.

There has been widespread shock at Quintin Kynaston Academy following Emwazi's apparent involvement in a series of IS videos which show the gruesome beheadings of Western hostages.

The school said in a statement it was "shocked and sickened" that one of their alumni had become involved in terrorism.

MI5 has reportedly questioned Emwazi's former teachers following on from his identification.

The former pupil said there was nothing to suggest Emwazi was religious during his teenage years.

"There was something peculiar about him in that he was violent but he wasn't someone who was loud, who talked in a provocative way," the ex-schoolmate said.
