Quick Glance: London Chaos: Military Horses Run Wild

Five military horses bolted during an exercise near Buckingham Palace, causing chaos in central London streets.

The horses were spooked by noise from a construction site, threw off their riders, and collided with vehicles.

Three injured soldiers were hospitalized, but none of the injuries were life-threatening.

The horses were captured shortly after and taken back to the barracks for medical tests.

Quick Glance: Charges Filed Against UK Ex-Parliamentary Researcher for 'China Espionage'

London's Metropolitan Police has accused two men, researcher Christopher Cash and Christopher Berry, of violating the Official Secrets Act.

The charges coincided with the announcement of the arrest of three German nationals suspected of spying for China and accessing secret maritime technology by German investigators.

The British duo is alleged to have transmitted 'articles, notes, documents or information' to a foreign state between 2021 and the previous year.

In September, the Met Police disclosed the arrest of a man in his twenties on espionage suspicions. The Sunday Times revealed his parliamentary researcher identity.

Quick Glance: British Law on Deportation of Asylum Seekers to Rwanda

The new British deportation law aims to curb illegal migration and secure the reelection of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.

However, experts doubt the effectiveness of the law in stopping illegal migration to the UK.

Rishi Sunak is under significant pressure due to political challenges in the election year, including inflation and healthcare issues.

The Rwanda law intends to deport migrants without valid papers to Rwanda, although the efficacy of the law is being questioned.

Police arrested dozens of people at pro-Palestinian demonstrations at Yale University in Connecticut and New York University in Manhattan, as student protests over Israel’s war in Gaza continue to roil US campuses.

At Yale University, at least 47 protesters were arrested and will face disciplinary action.

The police crackdowns came after Columbia University canceled in-person classes and cleared tent encampments on its campus in New York City.

On Thursday, the re-arrest of Peter Murrell, the husband of Nicola Sturgeon, took place as part of the police investigation into the SNP’s finances.

Murrell, aged 59, was apprehended and underwent interrogation by detectives.

The arrest occurred slightly more than a year subsequent to the search conducted by Police Scotland officers at the couple’s residence, where a blue tent was set up outside the property, alongside searches at the SNP’s headquarters in Edinburgh.

In April 2024, Peter Murrell was charged with 'embezzlement' of funds from the SNP.

Quick Glance: Freezing of London Property Following ICIJ Report

Roughly a week after the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists revealed that the London townhouse remained untouched by sanctions against the high-ranking Kremlin official, U.K. authorities froze Igor Komarov's property.

In February, the ongoing connection between Komarov and the townhouse in Herbert Crescent - a prime location in Central London - was highlighted. The property was acquired in 2007 for over $16.5 million through a British Virgin Islands-based shell company under his control.

Instead of directly listing Komarov, a trust was indicated as the beneficial owner of the BVI company, Wastom Holdings Ltd., in the submissions under the U.K.'s Register of Overseas Entities.

It is suggested that the British Government should now disclose details about trusts overseeing properties directly or through companies. This transparency measure would aid in uncovering assets owned by Putin's associates and corrupt individuals, leaving them no refuge.
