Yvette Cooper pledges new power to stop violent attackers after Southport
PA MediaThe home secretary says a powerful new crime to target suspects who are found to be preparing mass killings will ensure their plotting is taken as seriously as terrorism.
Yvette Cooper said the criminal justice system had to be given new tools to respond to violence-fixated individuals who are not motivated by a particular ideology, in the wake of the Southport attack last year.
Terror suspects who take steps towards an attack can be jailed for life, even if their plans are not fully formed.
Cooper told the BBC that the government will “close the gap” between such offenders and lone, violence-obsessed individuals by giving police the power to apprehend them long before they can act.
Axel Rudakubana is serving a life sentence for murdering three girls when he attacked a Taylor Swift-themed dance class in Southport almost a year ago.
Eight others girls were seriously injured, along with two adults who tried to stop the killer.
Had police found he had been researching a target prior to the attack, they could not have arrested and charged him with a serious offence because he had no ideological motive linked to the definition of terrorism.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s State of Terror series, which charts the response to violent extremism over the 20 years since the 7/7 bombings, Cooper said the police will get the power to prevent such individuals who do not have a clear ideology, in the same way they can with terror suspects.
Reuters“There is a gap in the law around the planning of mass attacks that can be just as serious [as terrorism] in their implications for communities, their impact, the devastation that they can cause and the seriousness of the crime,” she said.
“We will tighten legislation so that that is taken as seriously as terrorism.”
Cooper said the plan – which was briefly announced in March but not fleshed out until now – was for the new law to be similar to the exceptionally serious crime of preparing for acts of terrorism.
This legislation, brought in after the 2005 London bombings, is a vital counter-extremism tool that has jailed dozens of suspects.
It allows the police to arrest a terror suspect for the steps they take to prepare for an attack – such as researching a target.
But it stipulates that there must also be evidence the preparation is linked to an ideological cause, such as support of a group banned under terrorism laws.
YoutubeThe planned non-terror offence would apply to a far wider range of scenarios, including the activity of individuals like Nicholas Prosper. He had been planning a mass school shooting before he was apprehended for murdering his family.
Cooper said: “We’ve seen cases of growing numbers of teenagers potentially radicalising themselves online and seeing all kinds of extremist material online in their bedrooms.
“They’re seeing a really distorted and warped online world.
“We have to make sure that that the systems can respond while not taking our eye off the ball of the more long-standing ideological threats.”
State of Terror continues on Monday on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds.
Number of missing in Kerr County, center of Texas flooding, drops to 3
After weeks of search and rescue efforts following deadly flash floods, officials in Texas’s Kerr County said Saturday that the number of people still missing had dropped to just three.
As many as 160 people were reported missing in the days after flash floods caused the Guadalupe River to rise drastically over the July 4 weekend, killing 116 people in Kerr County, the epicenter of the devastating floods.
“Through extensive follow-up work among state and local agencies, many individuals who were initially reported as missing have been verified as safe and removed from the list. This has been an ongoing effort as investigators worked diligently to verify reports of missing persons and confirm their status,” local officials said in a press release.
About 100 people were still reported missing at the beginning of the week.
“We are profoundly grateful to the more than 1,000 local, state and federal authorities who have worked tirelessly in the wake of the devastating flood that struck our community,” Kerrville City Manager Dalton Rice said in the release.
The natural disaster has prompted questions about the preparedness of local and federal officials.
The New York Times reported that local authorities had weighed installing a warning system along the banks of the Guadalupe and were particularly concerned about youth camps situated along the river.
On multiple occasions, however, they decided against the move due to cost, or were not able to secure sufficient federal funding to make it happen.
CNN and The Washington Post also reported that the federal government’s response may have been slowed by a policy requiring the Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to sign off on contracts or purchases over $100,000.
Noem fired back at press reports of a poor response in Texas, saying during a previous “Fox and Friends” appearance that the reports were “fake news” and “absolute trash.”
Assistant Homeland Security Secretary Tricia McLaughlin also denounced claims of slow response as “lies” and “an unparalleled display of activist journalism” in a previous statement to The Hill.

'Ivan' – Usyk nicknames punch that stopped Dubois
Oleksandr Usyk nicknames the punch that saw him knock out Daniel Dubois to become a two-time undisputed heavyweight world champion.
Former NPR CEO: ‘This has not been a great week for free speech’
Former NPR CEO Vivian Schiller criticized CBS’s canceling of Stephen Colbert’s show in a Saturday interview amidst pushback of a decision that the network said was made due to financial constraints.
“This has not been a great week for free speech and speaking truth to power, without a doubt,” Schiller said on MSNBC.
CBS has garnered criticism for the move, which many took in the context of its decision earlier this month to settle a lawsuit brought by President Trump for $16 million. CBS’s parent company, Paramount, is currently seeking federal approval for a merger deal with entertainment conglomerate Skydance.
Colbert panned CBS’s move afterwards, calling the settlement a “big fat bribe” in his monologue and pointing out Paramount’s merger effort. Paramount’s lawyers had previously characterized the lawsuit, which took issue with CBS’s editing of an interview with former Vice President Harris, as “without basis in law or fact.”
Schiller acknowledged Saturday that the evidence around the cancellation of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” was “circumstantial,” but still called the move “curious.” The network has maintained that the decision was motivated by financial concerns.
“We have to also make note that Stephen Colbert is unafraid to, again, speak truth to power,” the former NPR executive said. “He does it in a very bipartisan way over the years, and comedy and parody is an important part of a democratic ecosystem.”
Schiller’s comments come after a difficult week for NPR, the media organization she helmed for three years. Republicans voted to zero out funding for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a nonprofit that provides a small slice of money to NPR’s national headquarters and a significant portion of revenue for the broadcaster’s member stations.
Schiller told NPR’s media reporter this week that she thought the loss of federal funds was inevitable, and that the network should have better prepared itself ahead of the vote by Congress.
“Any evidence-based news organization that reports critically is going to be accused of left-wing bias,” she said. “Journalism and government funding in the United States — those two things are incompatible.”
Schiller exited NPR in 2011 over her own controversy surrounding federal funding. Republicans at the time were threatening to cut the broadcaster’s funding when video surfaced of a prominent NPR fundraiser attacking Tea Party activists.
The fundraiser’s comments, made to two conservative activists posing as potential donors, prompted outrage from Congressional Republicans, and NPR’s board eventually forced Schiller out.

Miami 5-1 NY Red Bulls (Jul 19, 2025) Game Analysis
Lionel Messi had two goals and two assists to lead Inter Miami CF to a bounce-back 5-1 win over the host New York Red Bulls on Saturday night in Harrison, New Jersey.
Messi and Inter Miami (12-4-5, 41 points) erased a 1-0 first-half deficit with a flurry of goals before the break — two of them coming off the foot of Telasco Segovia — that staked the Herons to a 3-1 lead ahead of the break.
Miami won its sixth MLS match in its past seven contests after having a five-game winning streak snapped at Cincinnati on Wednesday. It was also the sixth time in the last seven games in which Messi has scored two goals.
“The reality is we had five games in the last two weeks, four of which were away. It is a complicated stage, especially because of the travel and the lack of rest between games,” Miami coach Javier Mascherano said after the match. “The game against Cincinnati was a reflection of the exhaustion the team carries, but now we have a long week. We will use it to give rest to those who are more tired, and with the expectation to recover a couple players that are injured and add them to the roster.”
The Red Bulls (9-9-6, 33 points) failed to string together consecutive wins at home and lost to Inter Miami for the second time this season. Mascherano’s team is in fifth place in the Eastern Conference, six points behind Philadelphia, but have three games in hand due to their participation in the Club World Cup this summer.
New York scored its lone goal in the 15th minute when Emil Forsberg lifted a corner kick in front of Miami goalkeeper Rocco Rios Novo‘s line of sight. Alexander Hack knocked it home for the score despite having defender Federico Redondo draped all over him.
Rios Novo made his second start this season for Oscar Ustari, who sat out with an injury.
Jordi Alba, who exited the game in the 84th minute with what appeared to be a leg cramp, scored his first goal of the season in MLS league play off a cross from Messi in the 24th minute to tie the game 1-1.
Inter Miami took the lead for good in the 27th when Luis Suarez, who assisted on the first goal, sent a ball ahead to Messi, who then directed it quickly to Alba, who then crossed it back to Segovia for an easy shot into the back of the net.
In the third minute of first-half stoppage time, Redondo advanced the ball into the Red Bulls’ box but could not fire off a shot. Segovia, though, surged in and fired a shot off a rebound past Carlos Miguel Coronel for a third goal.
Messi followed with goals in the 60th and 75th minutes to seal the outcome, to the delight of the scores of Miami supporters in the stands despite it being a road game.
“No, it’s not a surprise [to see the madness that Messi causes] because I have been with him for eight years at Barca and 15 with Argentina,” Mascherano said. “Especially in places where he doesn’t go with continuity people go crazy. I have seen it in airports, hotels, he generates this everywhere. I don’t think it’s only because of his football talent, but because of his admiration as an athlete and the way he’s transcended football.
“Leo Messi, Michael Jordan, Rafa Nadal, these are people that have transcended the sport. We are very privileged the people that are close and can witness this.”
Messi increased his total goals in MLS games to 18 this season and has contributed on 27 scores. He has 40 goals in MLS since joining the league in the summer of 2023.
The Red Bulls mustered nine shots in the match, but they were outshot 8-1 in shots on target.

Sophia Bush Reacts to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Invite
RHOBH’s Dorit Kemsley Files for Divorce From Husband PK Kemsley After Shana Wall Makeout
Sophia Bush might need a new tagline.
The One Tree Hill alum revealed that she received an invite to appear on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills—but hilariously missed her opportunity because she didn’t see the text from pal Bozoma Saint John, who joined the Bravo show in 2024.
“Sophia would make a great housewife, right?” Bozoma shared during their conversation at the Create & Cultivate festival in Los Angeles, where E! News was present July 19. “It totally makes sense. I wrote her a text message in April—I’m telling all your business—I was like, ‘Hey, I need to ask you a controversial question.'”
But according to Bozoma, Sophia “knew what I was gonna ask her” and “never responded until yesterday, when she was like, ‘Oh, how did I miss this text message in April?'”
As for Sophia’s reaction to the bombshell invite? She couldn’t help but laugh about it all.
“First of all, I am a terrible texter,” she quipped on stage, “so I go to text her and I’m like, ‘Oh my god, I’m so excited I get to see you tomorrow. I can’t wait.’ And then I go, ‘Controversial question? April?’ And then I’m like, ‘Wow, we really talk more in group chats.'”
