Victims bear the brunt of 'awful' court delays - BBC News
A sexual assault victim from West Sussex, Georgia, experienced multiple severe delays, postponements, and administrative errors within the court system after her abuser's case came to court. Her experience highlights a wider national crisis regarding court backlogs across England and Wales, with the Law Society warning that the criminal justice system is failing due to staff shortages, crumbling buildings, and decades of underfunding. Nationally, Crown Court waiting lists reached 80,829 cases by the end of June 2026, while magistrates' court outstanding cases rose to 380,230. The government has acknowledged the crisis, stating that reducing the backlog is a priority.

Lockerbie bombing suspect seized from Libya in 'cloak and dagger' operation
Abu Agila Mohammad Mas'ud Kheir Al-Marimi, a suspect in the 1988 Lockerbie bombing, has asked a Washington DC judge to throw out his case, alleging he was illegally abducted by armed men in Libya and handed over to FBI agents in December 2022. Al-Marimi denies building the bomb that brought down Pan Am Flight 103, which killed 270 people. The US Department of Justice contends that the manner of his removal does not prevent his upcoming trial from proceeding in January.

Questions continue over Penrith Winter Droving move discussions - BBC News
Discussions regarding the relocation of the Winter Droving festival from Penrith to Carlisle were underway while organisers Eden Arts were still claiming the event would take place in its usual location. Freedom of Information emails show that talks with Cumberland Council began in July, with organisers initially attempting to run events in both locations. While Eden Arts cited financial challenges and a lack of sponsorship for moving, local business representatives expressed anger, stating that trust has gone and pointing out that required road closure paperwork for Penrith was never submitted. In response to the move, a new local event called The Gathering is being planned in Penrith.

Dog that hunts invasive sea creature named animal of the year
A six-year-old black labrador named Sgiath has been named animal of the year by a charity for her work hunting down the carpet sea squirt, an invasive marine organism also known as "sea vomit". Working with her owner, marine ecologist Dr Texa Sim in the Scottish Highlands, Sgiath uses her scent-detection skills at low tide to locate the harmful organism, which can smother native species and damage marine infrastructure. Originally trained as a mountain rescue dog, Sgiath is believed to be the UK's first sea squirt-hunting dog and will receive the award at the International Fund for Animal Welfare's annual Animal Action Awards.

I'm 12 and want to try protein powder - should I?
A health journalist investigates whether 12-year-olds should use protein powder, finding that experts agree pre-teens and teenagers eating a balanced diet do not need supplements. While some young people use protein powders to build muscle, dieticians and paediatricians caution that whole foods provide sufficient protein and essential nutrients, and excessive protein intake can overload the kidneys and liver.

Wales has a school standards crisis. Will plans to fix it actually work?
Wales is grappling with an educational standards crisis after once again ranking the worst of the UK nations in global Pisa tests, with data indicating Welsh 15-year-olds are about two years behind England's in reading, science, and maths. Critics and experts point to weak accountability, the structure of local authorities, and the broad freedoms of the new curriculum as contributing factors. While the new Plaid Cymru administration has not proposed wholesale changes, Education Minister Anna Brychan has promised a renewed focus on literacy, numeracy, and clearer tracking of primary school progress.

Fall in West Midlands gun crime down to policing and community efforts
Gun crime in the West Midlands has seen a significant decrease over the past six years, dropping from 157 firearms discharges in 2020-21 to 69 last year, and 30 in the first seven months of 2026. West Midlands Police attribute this decline to changes in how the force handles firearms incidents through a dedicated major crime unit that treats every report of gunfire as a murder investigation. Additionally, former gang members, local mentors, and community organisations are credited with changing cultural attitudes and steering young people away from street crime.

Voting records show gender splits at rapist taxi driver licence row committee
An analysis of Highland Council licensing committee voting records reveals a striking gender split following a controversial decision to allow a convicted rapist to retain his taxi operator's licences. All four female councillors on the committee voted to revoke the licences, while six male councillors voted against the action. BBC Scotland analysis indicates this was not an isolated incident, showing similar voting divisions in previous contested licensing cases. While female councillors and critics suggest unconscious bias may play a role, male councillors have defended their decisions, citing reasons such as compassion for the offender's family, and denied allegations of misogyny. The fallout has led to an agreed independent external review of the committee's culture, governance, and accountability.
