Image
Ex-Royal Marine Ciaran Maxwell, who lived a double life as a bomb-maker for dissident Irish republicans, has been jailed for 18 years. Maxwell, 31, made 43 purpose-built hides across England and Northern Ireland, in which he stashed anti-personnel mines, mortars, ammunition and 14 pipe bombs - four of which were later used. As well as bomb-making materials, a Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) pass card, a PSNI uniform and a police stab-proof vest were found in barrels and buckets buried in the ground.

Donald Trump urges police to let suspects hurt themselves

Image
The US President is accused of making sure "vulnerable immigrants must fear both gangs and the government at once". Donald Trump was cheered by police officers as he told them not to be "too nice" when arresting "thugs". In a speech on illegal immigration and law enforcement to police officers, Mr Trump appeared to say they should let suspects hurt themselves when being detained. Mr Trump said of neighbourhoods plagued by gang violence: "When you see these towns and when you see these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you just see them thrown in, rough, and I said: 'Please don't be too nice.' "Like when you guys put somebody in the car and you're protecting their head, you know, the way you put their hand over, like, don't hit their head and they've just killed somebody, don't hit their head, I said: 'You can take the hand away, okay?'" Mr Trump offered no details on whe

Gang jailed for £400k raid on John Terry's mansion

Image
Handbags worth £126,000 were stolen by the gang - who were rumbled when they tried to open the safe with an angle grinder. Four men who raided John Terry's mansion and stole over £400,000 of designer goods have been jailed for a total of nearly 28 years. Described by the judge as "experienced" burglars, the men had carried out a series of "carefully planned" raids on large luxury homes in Surrey and Sussex. They targeted Terry's home after the former England captain revealed on social media that he was on holiday, signalling that his house in Oxshott, Surrey was empty. Terry posted a photo on Instagram showing him and his wife in the French Alps with the caption "Great few days away Skiing with the family." Items taken included designer handbags worth £126,000 - including a £42,000 snakeskin Hermes bag and a blue python bag valued at £8,250 - and more than £220,000 of jewellery.

The 23-year-old from Lancashire remains detained while his girlfriend and her mother have been released from custody. A former British soldier who went to Syria to fight Islamic State has been arrested in Turkey. Joe Robinson, who used to live in Accrington, Lancashire, was detained along with his girlfriend and her mother while the trio were on holiday. While the two women have since been released, 23-year-old Mr Robinson remains in custody, it has been reported. Mr Robinson fought alongside the People's Protection Units of Syrian Kurdistan (YPG) against terror group IS. But Turkey is hostile to the YPG because of its links with the Kurdistan Workers' Party, which is fighting for Kurdish autonomy in Turkey. The Kurdistan Solidarity Campaign said: "Unfortunately, Joe has gone on holiday to Turkey not realising the kind of state it has now become. "Turkey unfortunately continues to criminalise the Kurdish question and his jailed tens of thousan

Bag of gold bars and cash worth £30k found under tree in Berlin

Image
The owner of the bag told police he had put it down when he was locking his bike and forgot to pick it back up. An unsuspecting man discovered a small fortune when he found a bag of gold sitting under a tree in Berlin. The bag was filled with 22 gold bars worth about €30,000 (£26,901) and €3,500 in cash (£3,138). But the honest man did what we all like to think we would do and immediately handed the bag into a police station. The bag was left just outside a bank in the Neukoelln district, one of Berlin's poorest areas.  Follow Polizei Berlin   ✔ @polizeiberlin Was in  # Neukölln  so alles unterm Baum liegt...

Donald Trump's Obamacare repeal bid suffers major Senate setback

Image
The US President claims those who voted against the measure to roll back the legislation have "let the American people down". The US Senate has rejected a move to repeal parts of the Obamacare health law, dealing a serious setback to Donald Trump. Senator John McCain, recently diagnosed with brain cancer, was among three Republicans who joined all the Democrats to narrowly reject the key amendment by 51 votes to 49. The so-called "skinny repeal" would have overturned the mandate that most individuals get health insurance and suspended a requirement on large companies to provide coverage to their employees. It would also have delayed a tax on medical devices. The defeat effectively ends the Republican Party's seven-year bid to dismantle the 2010 Affordable Care Act, introduced by the US President's predecessor, Barack Obama. Following the tense vote, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said: "This is clearly a disappointing moment
