Live Updates: 2 Killed in Attack on British Synagogue on Yom Kippur
Like other metropolitan centers in Britain, Manchester has absorbed waves of immigration over the centuries. Manchester, one of England’s biggest metropolitan areas, is home to the largest Jewish community in the country outside London, numbering around 30,000 people. They live in the city alongside an even larger population that identifies as Muslim, which makes up one-fifth of the city’s 550,000 citizens. When Uganda, a former British protectorate, expelled Asian residents in 1972, Britain decided it had a responsibility to welcome them. And the diversity of the city’s population has drawn people from many more countries to make their homes there.

Wes Streeting orders urgent review into banned doctors found working in UK
The Times reported how 22 doctors have been subject to discipline or restrictions overseas but there is no record of that on their General Medical Council (GMC) licences in the UK. Cases include doctors suspended abroad over their care of patients and one medic who lost his medical licence overseas for having sex with a patient. In other cases, the GMC was aware of an overseas sanction but still decided the person could work in the UK. Of these, 25 doctors do not currently have a licence to practise in the UK, though they may have worked in the UK previously. “We also always actively seek information from overseas regulators when doctors who have been working in other countries apply to register with us.

The statement "confirms that foreign exchange market interventions are an important monetary policy instrument for the SNB in ensuring appropriate monetary conditions and thus meeting its statutory mandate with respect to price stability. "While that could be read as giving the SNB some wiggle room in its choice of currency intervention pair, it also underlines the sensitivity of the currency for Washington in trade talks.And most analysts assume one of the main goals of Donald Trump's broader trade policy is to weaken what the administration sees as a grossly overvalued dollar. And that may well have ripple effects across world markets.The opinions expressed here are those of the author, a columnist for Reuters

New York Times sues Justin Baldoni after Blake Lively defamation suit dismissed
Justin Baldoni is being sued by The New York Times for legal fees after his defamation suit over its Blake Lively story was dismissed. In the latest legal round linked to the hit 2024 romantic drama It Ends with Us, the newspaper is seeking $150,000 (£111,000) in legal fees it spent on the suit Baldoni filed, which was dismissed by a federal judge in June. The New York Times named Baldoni's production company Wayfarer Productions in legal documents submitted to New York's Supreme Court on Tuesday, The Wrap reports. The story was titled We Can Bury Anyone: Inside a Hollywood Smear Machine and was published in December 2024. Lively claimed Baldoni had sexually harassed her while making It Ends with Us, which was a surprise hit when it opened in cinemas in August 2024.

U.K. ‘Grooming Gang’ Leader Sentenced to 35 Years for Rape
Mr. Zahid and his co-defendants were investigated by a child sexual exploitation investigations unit within the Greater Manchester Police that was formed in 2021, the police said in a statement. The force said it was one of two major investigations that have so far resulted in 32 offenders being jailed for a combined total of 474 years for grooming gang activity in Rochdale. In January, the grooming gangs issue returned to international headlines after Elon Musk, the billionaire tech mogul, used his social media platform to post a series of vitriolic posts about it that included many inaccuracies and smears. In response to growing public pressure, the government announced a full national inquiry into the issue in June. “The men abused, degraded and then discarded the victims when they were just children,” he said.
