UK Protests: Renewed rioting sweeps UK, 100 arrested

Tensions have escalated sharply following the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, leader of the Palestinian group Hamas, in Tehran on Wednesday. This incident occurred just a day after an Israeli strike in Beirut killed Fuad Shukr, a top military commander from the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah.&nbsp;

Consequently, several countries have issued travel warnings to their citizens against travelling to Lebanon. Here is a list of those countries:

- Turkey: The Turkish Foreign Ministry urged its citizens in Lebanon to leave the country if their stay is non-essential, citing the possibility of a rapidly deteriorating security situation, Reuters reported.

- India: The Indian Embassy in Beirut issued a travel advisory urging Indian nationals to avoid non-essential travel to Lebanon due to rising regional tensions.

A 54-year-old Indian-origin woman has been sentenced to 10 years in prison for stealing from over 1,000 shops across the UK and returning the stolen goods for over $641,507 (₹53.7 million or £500,000).

She was identified as Narinder Kaur alias Nina Tiara, a prolific shoplifter from Cleverton, Wiltshire.

The woman was found guilty in March 2023 of 25 offences, including fraud, possessing and transferring criminal property, and perverting the course of justice.&nbsp;

Narinder Kaur would carry out the theft and fraudulent returns all across the UK. As per the BBC, she targeted stores in&nbsp;Solihull, Worcester, Cheltenham, Malvern, Shrewsbury, Cardiff, Trowbridge, Reading, Yeovil, and more.

Between July 2015 and February 2019, Kaur deceived major retailers like Boots, Debenhams, Homebase, John Lewis, House of Fraser, Monsoon, M&amp;S, and TK Maxx, and carried out over a thousand fraudulent transactions.

Judge Ian Lawrie KC, at Gloucester Crown Court, described Kaur as a "thoroughly dishonest individual" while sentencing her in her absence.&nbsp;

Prosecutors during her trial revealed that Kaur had devised a method to exploit high street stores by claiming refunds for items she had stolen. She would return an item, claim to have lost the receipt, and simultaneously purchase a low-value item to obtain a receipt for both, thus securing fraudulent refunds.

In addition to defrauding retailers, Kaur scammed eight firms of solicitors by instructing them to sue her brother and using stolen credit cards to pay compensation, which was then forwarded to her.&nbsp;

She also attempted to defraud the Wiltshire Council of $9,493 (£7,400) by overpaying with stolen credit cards and then requesting a refund, claiming a payment error.

Kaur's criminal activities were meticulously planned and executed. She would hire cars to avoid detection and even resorted to creating fake identities to open new bank accounts after her accounts were closed due to suspicions.&nbsp;

West Mercia Police fraud investigator Steve Tristram described the case as the most "planned" and "sophisticated" operation he had ever encountered.

"This lady was operating on an industrial scale. This was a full-time job for her, six days a week - eight or nine hours a day," he said.

UK: Knife attack in northwest London, two children stabbed yo death at dance class

A third child died on Tuesday and five others remained critically injured after a knife attack on a Taylor Swift-themed dance event in a quiet seaside community in northern England, police said.

The nine-year-old girl died in hospital early Tuesday, Merseyside Police said, as the force confirmed that two victims who died in the "ferocious" stabbing spree Monday were also girls, aged six and seven.

Eight other children suffered stab wounds during the attack in Southport, near Liverpool, which has shocked the UK and beyond. Two adults were also in a critical condition after being injured.

A 17-year-old male suspect from a nearby village arrested shortly after the incident remained in custody, police added, as they warned against speculating about his identity or details of the investigation.

"This incident is not currently being treated as terror-related and we are not looking for anyone else in connection with it," Merseyside Police said in its latest update.&nbsp;

Hours earlier, US pop star Swift took to social media to say she was "completely in shock" over "the loss of life and innocence, and the horrendous trauma inflicted on everyone".&nbsp;

"These were just little kids at a dance class. I am at a complete loss for how to ever convey my sympathies to these families," she added on Instagram.

Visiting the scene of the attack to lay flowers and meet local officials, Interior Minister Yvette Cooper said police were pursuing "every single avenue" as part of "a serious criminal investigation".

"This was a horrific attack," she told reporters.

<h2>'Deeply shocked'</h2>

Residents of Southport, a small seaside town popular with summer visitors, were still coming to terms with the attack.

"The town is in shock and in mourning", local MP Patrick Hurley told AFP, calling it the "most horrific atrocity that Southport has experienced in living memory".

It is a "very small town, a close-knit community and everybody will be intimately affected by this", he added.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has called the events "just truly awful" and said "the whole country is deeply shocked".&nbsp;

He is likely to visit the community later Tuesday. An evening vigil will also be held.

"I just cannot believe that it happened so close to home," Leanne Hassan told reporters Tuesday.

Hassan had rushed to collect her daughter from a nearby nursery which was locked down after the attack.&nbsp;

Her daughter was safe, "but unfortunately that's not the reality for a lot of parents waking up today," she added.

Police have revealed the children at the event were aged between six and 11, and the two adults injured were trying to protect them.

Tributes have been paid on social media to the bravery of dance and yoga teacher Leanne Lucas, who was among the victims.

Local business owner Colin Parry, one of those to call police, recounted to UK media members of his staff seeing "about 10 kids go running past him, all bleeding".&nbsp;

"One of them collapsed on the floor outside the neighbour next door," he told the Press Association (PA) news agency.

Bare Varathan, who owns a local shop, told PA he saw "seven to 10 kids" who were "injured, bleeding".

<h2>'Utterly horrific'</h2>

The teen male arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder is from neighbouring village Banks but was born in the Welsh capital Cardiff, according to police.&nbsp;

His identity and a possible motive for the attack have not been revealed.

"A name has been shared on social media in connection with the suspect," police said Tuesday.

"This name is incorrect and we would urge people not to speculate on details of the incident while the investigation is ongoing."

Witnesses told UK media the attacker was seen arriving at the scene in a taxi late Monday morning, and that he entered the venue wearing a mask.

Armed officers detained the suspect nearby and seized a knife.

Targeted attacks on children are extremely rare in the UK.

Monday's incident evoked memories of a school massacre in the Scottish town of Dunblane in 1996, which claimed the lives of 16 young pupils and their teacher in Britain's worst mass shooting.

King Charles III has offered his "most heartfelt condolences, prayers and deepest sympathies" following the "utterly horrific" incident.

Meanwhile, Prince William and his wife Catherine said "as parents, we cannot begin to imagine what the families, friends, and loved ones of those killed and injured in Southport today are going through".
