Hundreds Of London Cops Likely To Be Sacked For Sexual Offences: Report

Hundreds of officers in London are likely be sacked for sexual and domestic abuse offences, Britain's most senior policeman said on Tuesday as he sought to regain public trust after an officer admitted being a serial rapist.

London's Metropolitan Police ("the Met"), which has been rocked by scandals in recent years, was plunged into further crisis after David Carrick, 48, admitted carrying out 24 counts of rape over almost two decades while serving as a police officer while his colleagues missed chances to stop him.

The case follows a series of revelations of serious wrongdoing at the force, Britain's biggest with more than 43,000 officers and staff and responsibility for leading the country's response to terrorism and issues such as extradition.

London Commissioner Mark Rowley, brought in four months ago to lead the clean-up, said investigations were underway into about 800 officers over 1,000 sexual and domestic abuse claims. Many jobs will be lost as part of the process, he said.

"I've got tens of thousands of fantastic men and women, but I've got hundreds who shouldn't be here. I'm going to sort it out," Mr Rowley told the BBC on Tuesday.

"We're systematically reviewing every member of police staff and police officer who we have any historic flags against, for being involved in incidents involving domestic abuse or sexual violence."

Corruption, racism and misogyny

Public confidence in the Met has been hit by revelations of its culture of corruption, racism and misogyny.

In recent years, one officer was jailed for the rape and murder of a woman he abducted as she walked home and the courts then ruled heavy-handed policing at a vigil in her honour was unlawful.

A serving officer was convicted of being a member of a neo-Nazi group, two more were jailed for sharing pictures from a crime scene after the murder of two sisters, while an inquiry into one unit found discussions about beating women, with one officer messaging a female colleague to say he would rape her.

The Met has been the subject of an independent review since 2021, with initial findings concluding "radical" reform was needed in relation to dealing with allegations of misconduct against officers.

The case of Carrick, one of Britain's most prolific sex offenders who pleaded guilty to 24 counts of rape between 2003 and 2020, prompted questions about the failure to spot what he was doing.

He had previously come to police attention over nine incidents including accusations of harassment, assault and rape between 2000 and 2021 but was not charged with any offence.

Carrick had used his position of power to control and intimidate his victims, telling them no one would believe their word against that of a serving officer.

Study Warns Against Listening To Influencers' Advice On Birth Control

New research has said that social media influencers may be putting people at risk of pregnancy. According to the study published in the journal Health Communication, teenagers and young adults may also be receiving false sexual health information, making many of the popular videos a public health hazard. 

Previous studies suggest that influencers are more persuasive and influential than traditional celebrities, due to their relatability and accessibility. Young people see them as being highly trustworthy, with young women saying that influencers can seem like close sisters, ANI reported. 

A team of experts from the University of Delaware in the US searched YouTube for videos in which influencers with at least 20,000 followers talked about their experiences of contraception.

The videos were then analyzed to determine the influencers' attitudes to hormonal birth control, including contraceptive pills, injections and implants, and non-hormonal versions, such as fertility tracker apps and condoms.

Findings showed most of the influencers talked about stopping hormonal birth control, with 92 per cent saying they were using it or had used it and 74 per cent saying they'd discontinued or planned to discontinue, it.

The influencers' main reasons for stopping it were the desire to be more natural and to improve their mental health. However, the connection between depression and hormonal birth control is still unclear say the researchers.

Some 40 per cent of the influencers said they were using or had used, non-hormonal birth control, with fertility trackers as the most popular method.

Reasons given for liking non-hormonal birth control included it helping prevent pregnancies, being more natural, having fewer side effects and being cost-effective.

The popularity of fertility trackers is concerning, says lead author Emily Pfender, of the Department of Communication at the University of Delaware – who describes some of the information as “potentially harmful,”.

“Tracking cycles may not be as effective at preventing pregnancy as hormonal birth control,” she says.

“Additionally, what young viewers don't see in influencer content is the amount of effort and meticulous planning that goes into tracking cycles.

“For example, to use the cycle tracking method as intended, women must faithfully measure basal body temperature and viscosity of the cervical fluid at the same time every day, track cycle lengths to calculate their fertile window and refrain from having sex on specific days of their cycle.”

Finally, a few of the influencers who discontinued a hormonal contraceptive said they'd switched to an alternative method. Just 20 per cent had started a non-hormonal contraceptive and 14 per cent had a different hormonal one.

“The discontinuation of hormonal birth control is risky because it increases the likelihood of unplanned pregnancy,” adds Ms Pfender.

“Influencers' videos that discourage the use of a highly effective option for birth control and fail to encourage using other forms of protection to prevent pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections are a public health issue.”

Limitations of the study include a lack of information about who is watching the videos, whether some age groups find them more persuasive than others and if the keywords used to search for the videos picked up all the relevant examples.

The authors conclude that while social media can be a valuable source of information, young people should treat influencers' advice about contraception with caution.

“Getting sexual health information from social media allows young adults to get peer perspectives and seek out relatable information,” says Ms Pfender, “It is an especially good way for underrepresented groups such as LGBTQ+ young adults to get tailored sexual health information.

“It is important, however, that young people critically evaluate the health information they receive on social media and the source of the information.

“They should be sceptical of taking a one-size-fits-all approach to health based on the information we find online.”

Change Public Building To Gurudwara: Sikh Group's Application In UK

A representative from the Sikh temple Guru Nanak Darbar Gurdwara has lodged an application with Telford and Wrekin Council in the UK to change Abbey House in Priorslee to a place of worship.

An application has been moved to the council for consideration to change the Priorslee building on Whitechapel Way, which was until two years ago leased by the council to HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC), into a Sikh Gurudwara, Shropshire Star newspaper reported.

The current gurdwara for worshippers on Church Parade in Oakengates is currently up for sale and covers 6,573 sq ft, less than a quarter of the size of Abbey House built in 1990 and providing 28,886 sq ft of space.

In the application, Sikh representative Inderjit Singh Gill, said: "The intention is to use this building as a place of worship for the Sikh Community in Shropshire and surrounding areas.

"There will be a priest living on-site, a kitchen, and community facilities for worship and improvement of well-being," Gill said.

The application has, however, attracted over a dozen objections from within the Sikh community as some members of the current gurdwara in Oakengates, slamming the move, said they wanted to stay put.

"The one in Oakengates is fully sustainable and has been for many years. It's taken over 30 years of hard work," Sukhjit Singh said.

"The current property is freehold and the new proposed property is only a leasehold which will cost so much to run, it is our family temple that we have used since being born -- we do not want it to get shut or moved," he added.

Others spoke of the cost of living crisis, traffic as well as transportation issues.

Mohinder Kaur, a female protestor, said: "I have been attending Oakengates Gurdwara for the last 30 years plus, which is nearer for me with public transport. I'm elderly and I feel I will not be able to attend the new place of worship."

"To Infuse Transparency": Centre Wants Seat In Judges' Appointments Body

Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju has written to the Chief Justice of India, DY Chandrachud, that the Supreme Court collegium that decides on judges' appointments should include government representatives. This will "infuse transparency and public accountability", the Law Minister says in a letter that vastly escalates a dispute between the government and the judiciary since last year.

The letter is "just the precise follow-up action" suggested by the Supreme Court while striking down the National Judicial Appointment Commission (NJAC), Mr Rijiju said today, responding to criticism by Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, among others.

Arvind Kejriwal, the chief of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), called the government's letter "dangerous" in a tweet. "This is extremely dangerous. There should be absolutely no government interference in judicial appointments," he tweeted.

- Arvind Kejriwal (@ArvindKejriwal) January 16, 2023

Mr Rijiju retorted: "I hope you honour the court's direction!"

I hope you honour Court's direction! This is precise follow-up action of the direction of Supreme Court Constitution Bench while striking down the National Judicial Appointment Commission Act. The SC Constitution Bench had directed to restructure the MoP of the collegium system. https://t.co/b1l0jVdCkJ

- Kiren Rijiju (@KirenRijiju) January 16, 2023

In the war of words over judges' appointments, several ministers - current and former - and Vice President Jagdeep Dhankhar have criticised what they call "opaqueness" of the judiciary. They argue that the government should have a role in selection of judges, which has been the domain of the Supreme Court Collegium since 1993.

The Supreme Court has firmly defended the collegium system. Opposition parties like the Congress, Trinamool and AAP have backed the top court.

In various statements, Mr Rijiju has called the collegium system "alien" to the constitution and has strongly objected to any system in which the government has no right to appoint judges.

He has also criticised the Supreme Court for scrapping the National Judicial Appointments Commission set up by the BJP-led government through a law enacted in 2014. The commission would have comprised members of the government and the judiciary.

Vice President Dhankhar has echoed these views on multiple platforms. Last week, he criticised "one-upmanship and public posturing" from judicial platforms and said the scrapping of the judicial commission "was a scenario perhaps unparalleled in the democratic history of the world."

He also questioned a landmark 1973 Supreme Court verdict that said parliament can amend the Constitution but not its basic structure.

The Supreme Court has said the collegium system is the "law of the land" which should be "followed to the teeth". It would not cease to be the law "just because some sections of society expressed a view against the collegium system".

The Supreme Court collegium currently comprises Chief Justice Chandrachud and Justices Sanjay Kishan Kaul, KM Joseph, MR Shah, Ajay Rastogi and Sanjiv Khanna.

Mr Rijiju's letter also pitches for state government representatives in the High Court collegium.

Tripura Minister's "Rinse Mouth With Cow Urine" Remark Sparks Row

A Tripura Minister's "rinse mouths with cow urine" before talking about democracy remark has invited howls of protest from the Opposition.

State Law Minister Ratan Lal Nath made the distasteful remarks on Sunday while critising on the two Opposition parties, CPI(M) and Congress, on their proposed seat adjustment for the upcoming state polls.

"The opposition parties should rinse their mouths with cow urine before talking about democracy. What they had done during their past rule in Tripura apart from violence and unrest," the BJP Minister told reporters.

The Minister was referring to Congress general secretary Dr Ajay Kumar's recent statement that all anti-BJP parties need to come under one platform to "revive democracy and the Constitution".

The Left and Congress leaders had earlier alleged that "democracy was under threat" in Tripura under the BJP-led government.

CPM general Secretary Jitendra Chaudhary sharply criticised Mr Nath's cow urine jibe and said it was natural for those who regularly "drink gaumutra (cow urine) to be irritated by the mention of gantantra (democracy)".

The BJP minister had also alleged that the opposition parties ran a government backed by goons during their rule in Tripura.

"What answer will they give to Parimal Sen, Nitai Debnath, Bishu Saha, Sadhan Debnath, Runu Biswas, Parimal Saha, Madhusudhan Saha, Debal Deb, Mantu Das and others. Innumerable, thousands and thousands," said Mr Nath, reeling off names of Congress supporters allegedly killed by CPM-backed goons during the Left Front rule.

Mr Nath was a Congress leader for 34 years before his switcheroo to the BJP in 2017.

Archaeologists Unveil 3,500-Year-Old Royal Tomb In Egypt

Authorities in Egypt have discovered a 3,500-year-old tomb in Luxor that is thought to contain the bones of an 18th dynasty king. According to Mostafa Waziri, Director of Egypt's Supreme Council of Antiquities, the tomb was discovered by Egyptian and British archaeologists on the west bank of the River Nile.

The identity of the figure buried in the tomb is still unknown. "The first elements discovered so far inside the tomb seem to indicate that it dates back to the 18th dynasty of pharaohs Akhenaton and Tutankhamun," Mostafa Waziri said in a statement to news agency AFP.

As per the press release, the cemetery is in "poor condition." This is a result of floods during ancient times which submerged dense forms of sand and limestone and led to the blurring of many landmarks and patterns, archaeologist Mohsen Kamel stated. 

"The mission is continuing with the excavation work and the archaeological documentation of the cemetery entirely, which will contribute to unravel the curtain from the architectural planning of the cemetery more clearly," said Dr. Fathi Yassin, Director General of Archeology of Egypt, as per the press release.

The 18th dynasty, which was a part of the New Kingdom period of Egyptian history, came to an end in 1292 BC and is regarded as one of the most successful periods of prehistoric Egypt. The tomb may belong to a princess or royal wife of Thutmosid ancestry, according to the chairman of the British research mission Piers Litherland of the University of Cambridge. 

In April 2022, the Egyptian authorities had unearthed the remains of a Zeus-inspired temple in the Sinai Peninsula. The crew identified the Zeus Kasios temple with the help of the remnants of granite pillars that previously served as the temple's entrance gate, Mostafa Waziri, secretary general of Egypt's antiquities council, was quoted as saying by Newsweek.

In recent years, Egypt unveiled several major archaeological discoveries which has also helped the country revive its vital tourism industry.
