The embassy said the claims were “unfounded and malicious” and criticised British individuals and media outlets for attempting to link Iran to the incident at RAF Fairford.
The embassy also threatened legal action to “safeguard the rights and interests of the country and its people” over what it described as misleading and damaging media reports.
Hundreds of people have been arrested as the Defend our Juries group protested against the government’s ‘proscription‘ (terrorism ban) on anti-genocide group Palestine Action. While al-Qaeda subsidiary HTS in Syria has been de-proscribed and whitewashed by the UK and US, Palestine Action remains banned. The Crown Prosecution Service and judiciary continue to collude to try to ensure the longest and harshest possible sentences.
More than 3,000 people, mostly pensioners and disabled people, have been arrested for ‘terror’ offences for opposing the proscription. That total is climbing rapidly.
Streeting begins by addressing the terror probe related to an incident at RAF Fairford yesterday.
He says he can‘t provide much further detail than that already reported – but talks up the strength of the UK-US alliance.
„Our friendship with America is the closest alliance of any two nations on Earth, and we will always stand together against those who hate our freedom and those who wish us harm,“ he says.
„What we saw yesterday from our security services, our armed forces and our police was just a small glimpse of the extraordinary work they do everyday.“

Defence Secretary Wes Streeting has just begun his speech to the Labour Party conference in Liverpool.
The suspected plot appears to have been foiled by chance when a member of the public spotted unusual behaviour late at night in the countryside from a group of men and called 999.

2016 hatte das Bundesverfassungsgericht wesentliche Teile des BKA-Gesetzes für verfassungswidrig erklärt. Heimliche Überwachung darf nur in engen Grenzen stattfinden, so der Tenor. Da sich viele Regelungen aus dem BKA-Gesetz auch im Bundespolizeigesetz fanden, wurde auch dessen Entschärfung notwendig. Und aus dieser Entschärfung ist nun eine Verschärfung und damit der Beginn einer neuen Ära der Kontrolle geworden.

Die Bundespolizeireform ermöglicht es Beamten, künftig eigene Drohnen zur Überwachung und Aufklärung einzusetzen. Zugleich darf sie Flugkörper durch technische Maßnahmen wie elektromagnetische Impulse, GPS-Störungen oder physische Eingriffe selbst abwehren. Die Bundespolizei soll so vor allem Bahnhöfe und Bahnanlagen bewachen, aber auch das Regierungsviertel in Berlin und das Verfassungsgericht in Karlsruhe

The Wall Street Journal reported on Friday that Google has confirmed that a Gemini instance was able to leave its sandbox and attack other companies during a security test back in May. The company running the test was frontier AI security firm Irregular—which the Journal noted just so happens to have been involved in similar breakouts at OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta. The common thread between all of the incidents, according to the New York Times, is that AI models obtained unauthorized internet access during Irregular’s tests.
(one month ago)
Over the past two weeks, OpenAI, Anthropic, and Meta all disclosed that their AI models went rogue during routine security testing. Every single incident traces back to one company: Irregular, a three-year-old Israeli startup that operates cybersecurity testbeds for frontier AI models.
Founded in Tel Aviv by by Dan Lahav, CEO, and Omer Nevo, CTO, and backed with $80 million from Sequoia and Redpoint Ventures, Irregular runs Capture-the-Flag exercises for major AI labs. In these exercises, models are instructed to find vulnerabilities inside simulated corporate networks.

Candace Owens walks through the inconsistencies in the Charlie Kirk assassination investigation with Ana Kasparian on The Young Turks.
Since the start of the war, the Rapid Support Forces leadership has maintained high-level contacts with Tel Aviv. Its senior figures and leader‘s family members have made several trips there in a security cooperation that predates the conflict.
According to the investigation published on Friday, two RSF delegations travelled to Tel Aviv – one in May 2025, and another in February 2026.
Africa Intelligence found that members of the delegations convened with officials within the Africa Division of Israel’s foreign ministry and with Israeli intelligence.
The investigation reported that the contacts were embedded in a security and intelligence partnership that began before the outbreak of Sudan’s war in April 2023.

Brooksby said he was winding down for the evening when, at approximately 8:02 p.m., he received a call from his friend, a retired detective.
According to Brooksby, his friend shakily said something along the lines of, „Hey, I know who Charlie Kirk‘s shooter is. I know the family through religious association, and he‘s in Washington County now.“
The retired detective said they were working to get Robinson to turn himself in voluntarily.
Robinson‘s family knew that he was involved with law enforcement and trusted that they could go with him.

The aspect ratio was altered. The proportions are visibly off. And the compilation came from the prosecution, not the court. Candace Owens shows footage from September 10th without edits, in slow motion, and asks the only question that matters — is that really Tyler Robinson?

This morning a friend sent me news reports of the underground parking garage surveillance footage of a young man that prosecutors claim is Tyler Robinson, arriving at Utah Valley University on the morning Charlie Kirk was shot.
Prosecutors claim the young man in this footage then left this garage around 11 a.m., then returned a short time later wearing pants, a black top and Converse shoes.
Some American officials suspect the Israeli warning fit a pattern of Jerusalem using intelligence to shape US policy, particularly given its deep concerns about Iran and unease over closer US-Turkey ties. Secretary of State Marco Rubio was briefed on the threat and the ruse but reportedly stayed on the larger Air Force One. Speaking to the Post, Democratic Sen. Chris Van Hollen questioned whether the Israeli information was „independently verifiable,“ calling the episode „a little fantastical.“

A senior official in Yemen‘s Houthi movement said on Wednesday that the group, and not Iraq‘s Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF), carried out earlier attacks on Saudi Arabia, accusing Riyadh of blaming Iraqi factions for operations they did not conduct.
Abdullah Al-Numi, a member of the political bureau of the Houthi movement (Ansarallah) told Shafaq News that the PMF had repeatedly denied attacking Saudi Arabia, while his movement had openly claimed responsibility for earlier operations against Saudi ports and facilities, including sites in Yanbu and Jizan.

Ten Popular Mobilization Forces (PMF) members were killed and six wounded in airstrikes on two facilities in Bartella, east of Mosul, part of the PMF’s preliminary nationwide toll of 20 dead and 32 injured.
The command stated that the strikes targeted the Fourth Regiment headquarters of the PMF’s 30th Brigade and its Anti-Armor Directorate.

Saudi Arabia‘s armed forces, in coordination with the United States Central Command (CENTCOM), carried out precision strikes on Wednesday against Iran-backed militia targets in Iraq linked to recent drone attacks on the Kingdom‘s oil facilities, the Ministry of Defense announced.
Defense Ministry spokesperson Maj. Gen. Turki Al-Malki said the operation followed attempted drone attacks on oil facilities in the Eastern Province and Riyadh region on Monday and Tuesday, which Saudi air defenses intercepted and destroyed. He said those attacks originated from Iraqi territory and were carried out by Iran-backed terrorist militias.
„Der Zustimmungsfall wird dann relevant, wenn der Bundestag einzelne Regelungen in Kraft setzen will, die im Spannungsfall gelten würden, aber den Spannungsfall insgesamt noch nicht ausrufen will“, sagt Hegemann. Für diese einzelnen Regeln reicht dann wie bei regulären Gesetzen grundsätzlich eine einfache Mehrheit im Parlament.
Das geplante BND-Gesetz formuliert für alle drei Fälle Regeln. Vor allem aber ändert es den Mechanismus, wie der Zustimmungsfall für das BND-Gesetz ausgelöst werden kann. Das soll sich am Zustimmungsfall aus dem Grundgesetz „orientieren“, aber umgeht dabei das Plenum des Bundestags.
An die Stelle eines regulären parlamentarischen Verfahrens soll nämlich ein Vorschlag der Bundesregierung treten, dem das Parlamentarische Kontrollgremium zustimmen müsste. Dann könnten einzelne oder alle Regelungen des Gesetzes zum Spannungs- und Verteidigungsfall „freigeschaltet“ werden. Dass der Bundestag als Ganzes dabei außen vor bliebe, hat noch einen weiteren Effekt: „Eine Veröffentlichung ist nicht vorgesehen.
Nach dem Anschlag am Rande des Christopher Street Days (CSD) in Berlin haben Ermittler auf dem Handy des mutmaßlichen Täters Abdul B. ein Bekennervideo gefunden. Eine Sprecherin der Bundesanwaltschaft bestätigte einen entsprechenden Bericht der „Bild“. Das Video zeige demnach unter anderem einen Treueschwur auf die Terrororganisation Islamischer Staat (IS).
Ob es sich bei der Person in dem Video sicher um Abdul B. handelt, blieb zunächst offen. Nach Informationen des „Spiegel“ ist der Mann auf dem Video verhüllt, es soll sich aber mutmaßlich um Abdul B. handeln.
(…)
Abdul B. wurde am Sonntag bei einem Polizeieinsatz erschossen.
Eine Bestätigung der Behörden gibt es bislang nicht. Die Bundesanwaltschaft bestätigte lediglich, dass eine Person tot ist. Ob es sich dabei um Abdul B. handelt, wollte die Behörde nicht sagen. Die Nachrichtenagentur dpa bestätigte unter Berufung auf die Senatsinnenverwaltung, dass der Tatverdächtiger getötet wurde.
Am Sonntagnachmittag trat Bundesinnenminister Alexander Dobrindt vor die Presse und stufte die Tat als „islamistischen Terroranschlag“ ein. Auch die Ermittler gehen von einem islamistischen Terroranschlag aus.
Laut CSU-Chef Markus Söder zielte der Angriff auf die freiheitlich-demokratische Grundordnung in Deutschland. „Er ist auch ein bewusster Anschlag auf die Freiheitsidee unseres Landes. Und deswegen muss auch mit aller Härte dagegen vorgegangen werden“, sagte der bayerische Ministerpräsident im ZDF-Sommerinterview.
Ein Autofahrer hatte laut Polizei kurz vor 22.00 Uhr gestern Abend im Bereich des Tiergartens in der Nähe des Potsdamer Platzes Menschen angefahren. Der CSD wurde daraufhin abgebrochen. Ein Augenzeuge sagte der Nachrichtenagentur AFP, ein Lieferwagen sei mit hoher Geschwindigkeit von der Lennéstraße in den Tiergarten abgebogen.
Die Nachrichtenagentur dpa meldete, ein weißer Wagen sei gegen 22.00 Uhr am Ahornsteig parallel zur Lennéstraße gefahren. Dort habe er mehrere Menschen angefahren, bevor er mit einem Baum kollidierte. Der Fahrer habe das Fahrzeug verlassen und sich in unbekannte Richtung entfernt. Laut jüngsten Angaben der Polizei soll es sich um einen Pkw oder Minivan handeln. Menschen sollen auch durch Stiche verletzt worden sein.

Pakistan deployed the HQ-9 battery to Saudi Arabia in May 2026 under the Strategic Mutual Defence Agreement, according to the Times of Islamabad and The Daily Star. The system is operated exclusively by Pakistani military personnel — not Saudi or American crews — and functions as a standalone package integrated with Pakistan’s own command-and-control architecture rather than with Saudi Arabia’s existing air defense network, according to Defence Security Asia reporting from May 2026. The Jerusalem Post noted that Pakistan “deploys the defenses as part of a package because of their interoperability with other Pakistani systems,” a formulation that carries an embedded concession: the HQ-9 is not interoperable with anything else at the base.

The HQ-9 family’s combat record is now the most extensively documented peacetime marketing success that has failed every wartime test it has faced. During Operation Sindoor in May 2025, Indian Air Force Su-30MKI fighters launched two BrahMos-A air-launched cruise missiles at Pakistan’s Nur Khan Airbase near Rawalpindi, and Pakistan fired approximately 18 HQ-9B interceptors in response, according to Indian Defence Research Wing. The result was zero confirmed intercepts — both BrahMos missiles struck their targets, an 0-for-18 record that prompted Brandon J. Weichert, national security writer at The National Interest, to call the system “a Frankenstein’s Monster” reverse-engineered from Russian S-300 technology.

A report shared by Axios, said Iran allegedly fired a ballistic missile at a U.S. base in the Kingdom. Unverified videos circulating on social media purport to show a direct impact at Prince Sultan Air Base, though neither Washington nor Riyadh has officially confirmed the authenticity of the footage or the reported strike.
This comes as Trump meets world leaders at the NATO summit in Turkey, where the Strait of Hormuz is expected to be a key topic.
