Live: Architect of faulty Horizon software gives evidence | Post Office Inquiry

The Telegraph 2024-06-25 | A former Fujitsu engineer who helped designed the beleaguered Horizon IT system will give evidence to the Post Office Inquiry today.

Gareth Jenkins helped create the bug-ridden software that inaccurately recorded shortfalls on sub-postmaster accounts, leading to more than 900 wrongfully prosecutions.

Mr Jenkins was used by the Post Office as an expert witness in sub-postmaster prosecutions – giving evidence in-person in the 2010 trial of sub-postmistress Seema Misra, who was pregnant when she was handed a 15-month prison sentence.

However, the organisation received legal advice in 2013 that warned Mr Jenkins’s failure to disclose bugs in the Horizon software “fatally undermined” his credibility as an expert witness.

Julian Assange released from prison after reaching plea deal with US

The Telegraph 2024-06-25 | Julian Assange has been released from prison on bail and will return to Australia after reaching a plea deal with the US government over his WikiLeaks disclosures.

Papers filed in the US District Court for the Northern Mariana Islands, an American territory in the Pacific Ocean, on Monday revealed Mr Assange will plead guilty to one felony charge in exchange for his immediate freedom.

The US Justice Department has agreed to drop 18 espionage charges against him – instead charging him only with conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defence information.

Under the terms of the deal, the journalist will be sentenced to 62 months in prison, but the five years he has already spent incarcerated in HMP Belmarsh in the UK will count against that period.

The agreement must be approved by a federal judge before it can take effect.

How Farages Reform seduced Gen Z: Their manifesto is like a wishlist

The Telegraph 2024-06-25 | Nathan Hobbs has been arguing with his sister about politics lately. She is 22, has a progressive outlook and, like most young voters, is likely to vote either Labour or Liberal Democrat at the General Election. Nathan, a 19-year-old student, disagrees with her and doesn’t fit the mold of much of his peer group either. He is planning to vote Reform UK on July 4. “There’s a real split [between us],” he says of the siblings’ divergence in political opinion. “She dislikes Nigel Farage.”

Nathan, meanwhile, does not. The undergraduate from Brentwood in Essex is part of a small but noticeable cohort of first-time voters giving their support to Farage’s hard-right party. According to Telegraph analysis, data from four major pollsters suggests as many as 16 per cent of 18 to 24-year-olds intend to vote Reform next week.

While support for the party among this cohort is dwarfed by the numbers planning to vote Labour (47 per cent), young voters’ support for Reform now appears to be as strong as their support for the Lib Dems (also on 16 per cent). Reform is also the party that has experienced the biggest surge in young voter support since the election was called - up from 4 per cent in May. The Conservatives are on five per cent in this age group, down from 13 per cent in May.

How Corbyn is dividing friends and neighbours in Labour heartland | Westminster Source

The Telegraph 2024-06-24 | Jeremy Corbyn has claimed dozens of Labour MP candidates are secretly supporting him and not the party's official choice in the race for Islington North.

Speaking to The Daily Telegraph, the former Labour leader, now running as an independent, said he had been told “good luck” and “make sure you win” by former colleagues.

Mr Corbyn vowed to push Sir Keir Starmer, his successor as Labour leader, to the Left if he gets back into Parliament, including championing the end of the two-child benefit cap.

Mr Corbyn also criticised Sir Keir for not standing by a comment at the last election that he would make a “great prime minister”, calling the refusal to do so "odd".

The election battle in Islington North is one of the most closely watched of the campaign. It is seen as a microcosm of the wider split that exists between moderates and left-wingers in Labour.

Explosion rips through lithium battery factory in South Korea

The Telegraph 2024-06-24 | At least 22 people were killed when a powerful explosion and fire tore through a lithium battery factory in South Korea on Monday, local officials said.

Over 100 people were working in the factory in Hwaseong city, south of the capital Seoul, when the fire broke out, firefighter Kim Jin-young said.

Kim Jae-ho, Fire and Disaster Prevention professor at Daejeon University, said the fire had probably spread too quickly for workers to escape.

Ukraine suspected of Atacms strike on Russian space control centre in Crimea

The Telegraph 2024-06-24 | Huge fires have been recorded by Nasa satellites at the scene of a suspected Ukrainian Atacms strike on a Russian-controlled space control centre in Crimea.

The strike is believed to have hit the NIP-16 space communications complex, which houses a collection of large deep space tracking radars. A locally-sourced video appeared to show the site in flames, while residents told local media that ambulances were dispatched to the scene.

Another video showed the launch of several Atacms missiles from a site in Ukraine, with the rockets illuminating the night sky as they were fired towards Crimea.

Ukrainian officials are waiting for a battle damage assessment before confirming the attack, the Telegraph understands.

Russia attack: gunmen kill police officers as church and synagogue targeted

The Telegraph 2024-06-24 | Gunmen opened fire at a synagogue, an Orthodox church and a police post in Russia’s North Caucasus region of Dagestan on Sunday, killing six policemen and injuring 12, the interior ministry said.

A local religious organisation in the mainly Muslim region put the death toll at nine, including seven police officers.

The interior ministry, quoted by Russian news agencies, said four gunmen had been shot dead as the incidents unfolded. A local official said another had been killed during a shootout at a church in Makhachkala, the region’s main administrative centre.

An Orthodox priest also was reported to have been killed.

Restive Dagestan was hit by an Islamist insurgency in the 2000s, spilling over from neighbouring Chechnya, with Russian security forces moving aggressively to combat extremists in the region.

Russia says motorbike attacks help capture Ukrainian strongholds

The Telegraph 2024-06-23 | Russia’s defence ministry has claimed that off-road motorcycles have helped seize Ukrainian positions on the eastern front where a string of towns and villages have recently fallen.

According to a Russian officer, five Russian soldiers were able to capture a single strongpoint near the town of Vuhledar using the vehicles.

“Because we did everything suddenly, they were taken aback, and we captured two of them immediately, while the rest ran away,” he claimed.

How Nigel Farage made Reform the story of the election | Westminster Source

The Telegraph 2024-06-22 | Reform UK and Nigel Farage’s dramatic return to lead the party has been one of the biggest stories of the general election campaign.

Reform had been beginning to drop a little in the opinion polls in the weeks before the snap election was called, but Mr Farage taking over sent support surging instead.

But what political impact is the party really having? What policies are they proposing beyond tougher immigration measures? And how successful can they be on election day?

Ben Riley-Smith, The Telegraph’s Political Editor, takes a look at why, despite the ‘Farage Factor’, Reform is likely to struggle getting many MPs elected.

UK immigration debate with Reforms Richard Tice and Professor Jonathan Portes | The Daily T Podcast

The Telegraph 2024-06-21 | For this special episode of The Daily T, Kamal and Camilla do a deep dive into one of the thorniest issues in politics: immigration.

How much is too much? Are immigrants the reason our NHS is barely able to cope and there aren't enough houses?

Or are they a scapegoat for other problems? Are immigrants necessary for economic growth and give more to British culture than they take?

To answer all these questions and more, Kamal and Camilla are joined by Reform UK's chairman Richard Tice and by Jonathan Portes, professor of economics and public policy at the School of Politics & Economics of King's College, London and a senior fellow at UK in a Changing Europe.

They also unveil some exclusive Savanta polling on public views about immigration, plus share some readers' letters on the issue.

Schoolboy, 15, who murdered teenager ‘in full view’ of pupils seen fleeing on CCTV

The Telegraph 2024-06-21 | An “outwardly normal” 15-year-old boy with a “worrying interest in knives” who stabbed another teenager through the heart on the way home from school has been named for the first time as Bardia Shojaeifard.

Alfie Lewis, 15, was stabbed to death “in full view” of pupils leaving a primary school in the Horsforth area of Leeds last November.

Shojaeifard, who was 14 at the time, was found guilty of murdering Alfie by a Leeds Crown Court jury in April.

He had admitted stabbing Alfie with a 13cm-long kitchen knife he had brought from home but denied murder, claiming he was scared for his life when he pulled out the weapon.

The teenager was jailed for life with a minimum term of 13 years.

Olena Zelenska War has pushed me close to psychological burnout

The Telegraph 2024-06-21 | For many people in Ukraine, it is not President Zelensky, with his trademark green sweatshirts and regular addresses to the nation, who provides comfort to the war-ravaged country, but rather his wife, Olena.

Composed, articulate and by her husband’s side on the international stage whenever their conflicting schedules allow, the First Lady of Ukraine has inadvertently become a powerful symbol of hope.

Yet behind her polished exterior Olena Zelenska has battled with the same anxieties and vulnerabilities known to ordinary Ukrainians, who continue to suffer the agonising consequences of Putin’s invasion.

In an interview from inside the Office of the President in Kyiv, Mrs Zelenska told The Telegraph that she has come close to “burn-out” as she struggled to cope with the magnitude of Putin’s war, while maintaining a brave face for her country and her children.

BBC Question Time Leaders Special - Key moments

The Telegraph 2024-06-20 | Sir Keir Starmer has said that Jeremy Corbyn would have made a better prime minister than Boris Johnson.

The Labour leader made the comment in a special BBC Question Time programme in which he was pinned down over his past support for Mr Corbyn.

Sir Keir first refused five times to stand by his comment made in the run up to the 2019 election that Mr Corbyn, his predecessor as Labour leader, would have made a “great prime minister”.

But he eventually said: “He would be a better prime minister… look what we got, Boris Johnson, a man who made massive promises, didn’t keep them, and then had to leave parliament in disgrace.”

Olena Zelenska: War has pushed me close to psychological burnout | Exclusive interview in Ukraine

The Telegraph 2024-06-20 | For many people in Ukraine, it is not President Zelensky, with his trademark green sweatshirts and regular addresses to the nation, who provides comfort to the war-ravaged country, but rather his wife, Olena.

Composed, articulate and by her husband’s side on the international stage whenever their conflicting schedules allow, the First Lady of Ukraine has inadvertently become a powerful symbol of hope.

Yet behind her polished exterior Olena Zelenska has battled with the same anxieties and vulnerabilities known to ordinary Ukrainians, who continue to suffer the agonising consequences of Putin’s invasion.

In an interview from inside the Office of the President in Kyiv, Mrs Zelenska told The Telegraph that she has come close to “burn-out” as she struggled to cope with the magnitude of Putin’s war, while maintaining a brave face for her country and her children.

Houthis sink Greek-owned coal carrier in Red Sea

The Telegraph 2024-06-20 | Yemen’s #Houthis have released a video showing a June 12 attack on the Greek-owned MV Tutor coal carrier in the Red Sea, as salvagers confirmed the #sinking of the vessel.

Maritime security companies and the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) confirmed that the Tutor was struck with #missiles and an explosive-laden remote-controlled boat.

The attack on the Tutor marks the second sinking of a commercial vessel by the Houthis since November, in what they say are actions carried out in solidarity with Palestinians in #Gaza.

Sunak hasn’t got the guts to leave ECHR and stop the boats, claims Farage

The Telegraph 2024-06-20 | Nigel Farage claimed Rishi Sunak “hasn’t got the guts” to take the UK out of the European Convention on Human Rights and finally put an end to small boat Channel crossings.

The Reform leader told a crowd in Cheshire today that Britain must leave the ECHR in order to “take back control” of the nation’s borders.

Mr Farage said: “We will never send any planes to Rwanda. We will never send anybody to Rwanda all while we are part of the court based in Strasbourg that was set up with the best intentions immediately after World War Two with huge support from people like Winston Churchill.

“But that court that has now become activist, that court that has now become interventionist, that court that is no longer fit for purpose, and that court that says we cannot control our own borders, who might be here and who we can get rid of.”

He added: “Of course the lofty barrister Sir Keir [Starmer], he loves all these international courts and Sunak hasn’t got the guts to deal with it because it would split his own party. But we are clear: we must leave the European Court of Human Rights and take back control.”

Reform pledged in its manifesto to leave the ECHR. Mr Sunak has hinted he could be prepared to quit the ECHR if it stood in the way of his Rwanda flights.

The Tories pledged in their manifesto: “If we are forced to choose between our security and the jurisdiction of a foreign court, including the ECtHR, we will always choose our security.”

Mr Lam said: “Once again, congratulations to our comrade for receiving overwhelming support during the recent presidential election, underlining the confidence of the Russian people.”

Putin responded, saying a comprehensive strategic partnership with Vietnam was one of Russia’s priorities.

Putin and Kim laugh and chat in front seat footage from limo drive in Pyongyang

The Telegraph 2024-06-20 | North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un gifted Russian President Vladimir Putin a pair of Pungsan dogs, a local breed.

Kim and Putin were seen looking at the dogs tied to a fence covered in roses during a segment aired on he state-controlled Korean Central Television.

The two bonded over animals as Kim fed carrots to a horse while Putin looked on. The two also took turns to drive each other around in a Russian-built Aurus limousine.

Kim, known as a keen horseman, was famously pictured riding a white stallion in Mount Paektu during snowfall in photos released by state media in 2019, flooding the internet with online jokes and memes.

The horses Kim rode are symbolic for North Korea which named its economic effort to recover from the 1950-53 Korean War after the mythical winged horse Chollima. Putin has been pictured shirtless and riding a horse in photos released by Russian state media.

Pungsan dogs are a breed of hunting dogs native to a region in the northern part of North Korea. Former South Korean president Moon Jae-in also received a pair of white Pungsan dogs -- named "Gomi" and "Songgang" -- from Kim in 2018 at a time when inter-Korean relations saw a breakthrough.
