Racist attack investigation reopened by Met Police - BBC Newsnight
After a racist attack on three black women, a Newsnight investigation has found that for nearly two weeks police officers failed to recover CCTV or take witness statements, even from the victims. Please subscribe here: http://bit.ly/1rbfUog
An investigation into a racist attack on three black women has been reopened by the Metropolitan Police.
For nearly two weeks after the attack officers failed to recover CCTV or take witness statements, even from the victims, BBC Newsnight found.
The three women say the police made racist assumptions about them and that hampered the investigation.
The Met denies this but has apologised for failing the women and said it was reviewing its work.
The force told the women it had closed the probe into the crime in April, but reopened it this month following Newsnight's investigation.

Nigeria’s security forces “shoot dead at least 12 civilians” as protests grow - BBC News
There have been international calls for an end to violence in Nigeria after widespread reports of the killing of civilians.
The human rights group Amnesty International says it has received credible and disturbing evidence that Nigerian security forces shot and killed at least 12 people taking part in a peaceful protest in the country's largest city, Lagos.
There have been weeks of demonstrations against police brutality, with protesters accusing the now-disbanded Special Anti-Robbery Squad - or SARS - of torture.
Nigeria's president has appealed for calm and an indefinite curfew has been imposed on several regions including Lagos.

Labour accuses Boris Johnson of pitting “region against region” over pandemic funding - BBC News
After days of wrangling with local leaders, the Prime Minister has said a £60m support package for Greater Manchester will be distributed to local councils in the region, effectively bypassing the mayor, Andy Burnham.
The Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer accused the government of “pitting region against region” and “bargaining with people's lives.”
Meanwhile the Chancellor Rishi Sunak is expected to offer more emergency support to the hospitality industry. He’s expected to offer help to pubs, bars and restaurants operating under Tier 2 restrictions, which can remain open but are seeing a big reduction in takings.

End Sars protests: People 'shot dead' in Lagos, Nigeria - BBC News
A number of people taking part in a protest against police brutality have reportedly been shot dead or wounded in Nigeria's biggest city, Lagos.
Witnesses said up to 12 people were killed and others wounded when soldiers opened fire. Amnesty International said it had "credible reports" of deaths.
The state governor said about 25 people had been wounded but denied there were any fatalities.
An indefinite 24-hour curfew has been imposed on Lagos and other regions.
Protests over a now-disbanded police unit - the Special Anti-Robbery Squad (Sars) - have been taking place for two weeks, with demonstrators using the social media hashtag #EndSars to rally crowds.
As tensions continued to rise on Wednesday, police in different districts of Lagos fired shots in the air to disperse protesters defying the curfew, the BBC's Nduka Orjinmo reports from the capital, Abuja.
Protesters who briefly gathered again at the Lekki toll gate - where Tuesday's shootings took place - were forced out by police, he adds.
President Muhammadu Buhari has appealed for "understanding and calm".

Danish submarine killer Madsen caught in prison escape - BBC News
Danish submarine builder Peter Madsen, who murdered the Swedish journalist Kim Wall, has been caught after trying to escape from jail.
Pictures from the scene showed armed police surrounding him near the prison west of Copenhagen.
Police said Madsen had got out after threatening a prison employee and was arrested nearby a few minutes later.
He was jailed for life for the 2017 murder of Kim Wall, who had boarded his homemade submarine for an interview.
Her mutilated body was discovered on a beach by a passer-by 11 days later.
News of Madsen's escape was confirmed when a video emerged showing the convicted killer propped up against a hedge with a belt around his waist, on a residential street close to the jail in Albertslund.
Madsen clearly had an object around his waist and armed police waited at a distance for bomb disposal specialists to arrive before he was taken into custody.

US election 2020: What are Joe Biden’s plans for office? - BBC Newsnight
As the US election enters its final stages, President Donald Trump's campaign has reached a frenetic pace since he left hospital last week. Joe Biden, in contrast, has no public events on his schedule. Please subscribe HERE http://bit.ly/1rbfUog
Two weeks today is officially election day in the United States - and more than 30 million voters have already made their choice in early postal voting.
While the president is hopping round the battleground states in a blur of rallies and interviews, his Democratic challenger Joe Biden has no events or interviews planned for this week, ahead of the final debate in Nashville on 22 October.
Part of his reluctance to appear in public is of course the pandemic that is still raging across America. But it also means he is avoiding tough questions that risk upsetting the competing wings of his party - who are currently united on one policy: getting rid of Donald Trump.
US Correspondent David Grossman reports from Washington on what we know and don’t know about Joe Biden’s plans for government.

Ban on care home visits is “breach of human rights” say relatives planning legal action - BBC News
Families with relatives in care homes in England say government rules preventing visits during the coronavirus pandemic are a breach of human rights. They are planning to take legal action.
In Tier 1 areas residents can usually have one visitor, but in higher risk areas the advice is that visits should only happen in exceptional circumstances. The government says its priority is keeping residents safe.
Meanwhile The UK is set to become the first country in the world to deliberately infect volunteers with coronavirus, in the hope of speeding up the search for a vaccine.
Healthy volunteers under the age of 30 will be paid to take part in the human challenge trials and monitored for any side effects for up to a year.

Boris Johnson forces toughest restrictions on Manchester after talks collapse - BBC News
The Prime Minister has imposed the toughest Tier 3 coronavirus restrictions on Greater Manchester — after talks with local leaders over more funding for the region collapsed.
The government offered to provide £60m to help people who will suffer financial loss as a result of the new measures. However Manchester’s Mayor, Andy Burnham, refused the offer saying it wasn't enough and people in the region faced “real hardship”.
Boris Johnson responded by unilaterally imposing the toughest restrictions. He said "not to act now" would put the lives of Manchester's residents at risk.
Under the new Tier 3 rules all pubs and bars that do not serve substantial meals must close. No household mixing is allowed indoors or in private gardens. Casinos and betting shops must shut.
Talks are continuing with the government and local leaders about how much money will be provided to support Greater Manchester’s businesses and residents.

Labour Party: Keir Starmer’s Road to Power - BBC Newsnight
Newsnight explores the story of the man who could be prime minister of the United Kingdom — and what that road to power may entail. Please subscribe here: http://bit.ly/1rbfUog
Sir Keir Starmer was elected leader of the Labour Party six months ago, when the United Kingdom was locked down against coronavirus.
Back then Westminster was preoccupied with the virus, and the norms of the opposition were temporarily suspended.
The scrutiny of the man who had only been elected as an MP five years earlier was perhaps more cursory than would have otherwise been the case. Sir Keir identifies as a "socialist", as did Jeremy Corbyn, so what makes his politics different?
And as a former member of Jeremy Corbyn’s shadow cabinet, was Starmer planning his leadership campaign as far back as last year's general election?
Newsnight’s Policy Editor Lewis Goodall investigates the story of the man who could be prime minister — and what that road to power may entail.
After this report aired on BBC Two, Unite the Union’s General Secretary Len McCluskey tweeted out the following:
“Before this gets out of hand, let me say language is important and I apologise to Peter Mandelson and anyone else if mine has caused hurt.”

Wales imposes 16-day strict lockdown to control pandemic and protect NHS - BBC News
The Welsh government is imposing a 16-day lockdown across the country to regain control of the pandemic.
The First Minister, Labour's Mark Drakeford, said that without a lockdown the NHS in Wales would not be able to cope in the weeks and months ahead.
However there’s been dismay and anger in parts of Wales where the number of coronavirus cases is still relatively low.
People will have to stay at home unless they're key workers or can't work from home. Pubs, restaurants, hotels and all non-essential shops will close.
Primary schools will reopen after half-term. Secondary school Years 7 and 8 will return but other pupils will learn from home.
Gatherings indoors and outdoors with people from other households will not be allowed.

Sudan khalwas: Undercover in the schools that chain boys - BBC News
A BBC News Arabic investigation has uncovered systemic child abuse and evidence of sexual abuse inside Islamic schools in Sudan.
For 18 months, reporter Fateh Al-Rahman Al-Hamdani filmed inside 23 schools across the country.
Boys as young as five-years-old were routinely chained, shackled and beaten by the sheikhs or religious men in charge of the schools.
Mohamed Nader is one of those who was abused. He was imprisoned and tortured for five days, and received such a brutal beating that he nearly died.
Al-Hamdani spoke to him about what happened, his recovery, and his family's fight for justice in a country where the sheikhs still wield huge power and influence.

Pope Francis has said he thinks same-sex couples should be allowed to have "civil unions". He made the comments, which observers say are his clearest remarks yet on gay relationships, in a new documentary. "Homosexual people have a right to be in a family," he said in the film about his life and work, which premiered on Wednesday as part of the Rome Film Festival. As well as the Pope's comments on civil unions, the film also shows him encouraging two gay men to attend church with their three children. Under current Catholic doctrine, gay relationships are referred to as "deviant behaviour". But Pope Francis's biographer, Austen Ivereigh, told the BBC he was "not surprised" by the latest comments.

"We really did kind of make a mess." That was Dante Lauretta's take after reviewing the first pictures to come from Nasa's Osiris-Rex probe following its mission to grab a sample from the Bennu asteroid. Dust and grit flew in all directions but that was good news, said the University of Arizona professor. "Everything that we can see from these initial images indicates sampling success. So in case you can't tell, I'm pretty excited." The principal investigator's team now has to work out precisely how much material Osiris-Rex might have lifted from the surface of 500m-wide Bennu. The Nasa mission to the asteroid was designed to tell us about how the Sun and the planets were created. Bennu is a very primitive object, with chemistry preserved from the dawn of the Solar System more than 4.5 billion years ago. Tap the link in our bio to read more about the space mission. (📷Nasa/EPA)

Nigerians are continuing to protest against police brutality in Lagos despite a 24 hour curfew. Violent clashes broke out after a number of people were reportedly shot dead or wounded at an End Sars protest at the Lekki toll gate on Tuesday. Two eyewitness told the BBC the attack was "premeditated, they wanted to kill us," "We all got down on our knees... they didn't stop shooting." Authorities deny anybody was shot dead. Protests against a police unit known as Special Anti-Robbery Squad have been taking place in Nigeria for years but have recently escalated after demonstrators started using the hashtag #EndSars on social media. The government's move to disband the police force however has not stopped the protests.

Demonstrators in Nigeria have defied a curfew in Lagos to protest against shootings at an End Sars protest. A number of people were reportedly shot dead or wounded in Nigeria's biggest city on Tuesday. Witnesses said up to 12 people were killed and others wounded when soldiers opened fire. The state governor, however, said there had been no fatalities. An indefinite 24-hour curfew has been imposed on Lagos and other regions. Accusations of police officers robbing, attacking and even killing people go back years but a new wave of protest started at the beginning of October when the hashtag End SARS started trending on Twitter. Sars stands for the Special Anti-Robbery Squad at the heart of police corruption. The government's move to disband the police force has not stopped the protests as demonstrators are now calling for more changes in the security forces as well as reforms to the way the country is run.

Love Island's Shaughna Phillips has always been self-conscious about her legs. "I would always feel like my thighs and my calves - there wasn't much difference in size. I never really had a defined ankle." Before entering the Love Island villa earlier this year, she blocked the word 'legs' from showing up on her social feed. It wasn't until after the show ended that Shaughna was diagnosed with stage one lipoedema. She decided to pay for private liposuction to shrink her legs. The procedure's not available on the NHS. It is thought more than one in 10 women in the UK have the condition, which is an abnormal build-up of fat cells that can’t be broken down by diet or exercise.

For two years, Acacia Dietz was a member of the National Socialist Movement (NSM), the largest neo-Nazi organisation in the US. Acacia was responsible for the NSM's online presence until a deadly attack in New Zealand shocked the world. In March 2019, a white supremacist shot dead 51 people after targeting two mosques in the city of Christchurch.
The attacker streamed the shootings live on Facebook. Although the killings were not directly linked to the NSM, Acacia decided to leave the group in the months after. #BBCNews
