Man charged in connection with arson plot after alleged recruitment as Russian spy

itv.com/news/london/2024-04-26/several-people-charged-after-alleged-recruitment-as-russian-spy

Quick Glance: Accusation: Leicestershire man recruited as Russian spy

An individual from Leicestershire is accused of playing a role as a Russian spy in an arson attack on a business with ties to Ukraine. It is also alleged that Dylan Earl is a member of a banned terror group.

Among the five individuals charged in connection with the incident is Earl, residing in Elmesthorpe near Hinckley. According to the prosecution, Earl is said to have organized and funded the attack for the benefit of the Russian state.

Prosecutors claim that Earl, 20, conducted "fraudulent activities, research, and reconnaissance of targets," and attempted to "recruit individuals" to assist a foreign intelligence service. Court documents suggest that Earl is connected to the banned terrorist group, the Wagner Group.

Earl was first arrested on Wednesday, April 10, and is among the first individuals to be charged under the new National Security Act 2023. The Leicestershire man was charged by Counter Terrorism officers on Friday, April 19, with aggravated arson, preparatory conduct, and aiding a foreign intelligence service. He has been remanded in custody and is scheduled to appear at the Old Bailey on Friday, May 10, alongside the other four men.

Quick Glance: Lawsuit Alleges Grindr's Unauthorized HIV Status Disclosure

A group of 670 individuals have joined a class action lawsuit against LGBTQ+ dating app Grindr in the UK seeking damages for the alleged unauthorized disclosure of HIV status and other sensitive data to third parties.

The lawsuit claims that Grindr violated UK data protection laws by sharing user data without consent, particularly data disclosed before April 3, 2018, and between May 25, 2018, and April 7, 2020.

Researchers from SINTEF in 2018 published information indicating that Grindr was sharing user data, including HIV status, with analytics companies, sparking intense criticism and prompting changes to the company's privacy policy.

Grindr was fined 65 million Norwegian kroner for violating GDPR consent rules, leading to further legal issues in the US.

A fifth, and likely final, member of UK basketball’s 2024 recruiting class has decommitted

Quick Glance: Enthusiastic Kentucky Fans Welcome Mark Pope as New Wildcats Coach at Rupp Arena

Mark Pope's debut game as Kentucky's coach is still over six months away. However, the manner in which fans packed Rupp Arena for his unveiling as UK's new men's basketball coach would surprise those unfamiliar with the sport's calendar, considering the 2024-25 season doesn't commence until November.

Rupp Arena accommodates 20,500 spectators. The lower section of the venue features 10,000 theater-style seats, all of which were occupied. The upper section, with an additional 10,500 seats, took longer to fill, but by the time Pope was formally introduced at 4:54 p.m. on Sunday, not a single seat was vacant.

All of this to greet back a beloved figure.

"We witness these introductory press conferences frequently," Pope remarked. "No individual worldwide has ever witnessed a spectacle like this."

Quick Glance: Apple Loses $1 Billion British Lawsuit Over App Store Fees

Apple lost a bid on Friday to dismiss a mass lawsuit valued at just under $1 billion, brought in London on behalf of over 1,500 app developers regarding the App Store fees.

The lawsuit, worth up to 785 million pounds ($979 million) and one of several faced by the U.S. tech giant in the United Kingdom, alleges that Apple unfairly charged third-party developers commissions of up to 30% on app purchases or other content.

Judge Andrew Lenon stated in a written ruling that Ennis' lawyers had a realistic prospect of establishing that 'Apple's overcharging of commission to app developers based in the UK in relation to commerce transacted on non-UK storefronts did amount to conduct implemented in the UK'.
