Three women found dead on Britain’s Brighton beach have been identified as sisters.

Three women found dead in the sea off Brighton beach earlier this month have now been identified as sisters from London, police have confirmed.Jane Adetoro, 36, Christina Walters, 32, and Rebecca Walters, 31, all from the Uxbridge area, were found dead near Madeira Drive on May 13.Emergency services were called at around 5:45am after concerns were raised about a person in the water near the Black Rock car park. Later two more bodies were recovered nearby.Sussex Police said there is currently no evidence of criminality or third-party involvement, but detectives are continuing to make inquiries to establish exactly what happened, The Guardian reported, quoting police.Police believe the sisters may have entered the sea from the beach before getting into trouble. It is thought they were first seen near Brighton Palace Pier before heading towards Brighton Marina.Their father, Joseph, paid tribute to his daughters in a statement released through police.He said, “Jen, Christina and Becky were more than daughters to me; they were my joy, my strength, and beautiful lights that filled our family with happiness and love.”“Each of you was unique and precious in your own special way. Your smile brightened dark days, your laughter provided comfort and your presence made life more meaningful.”“Although your time on earth was short, the impact you made will live on in our hearts forever.”Police said hundreds of hours of CCTV footage has been reviewed, while officers continue to trace the women’s last movements around the beach area.Chief Superintendent Adam Hayes said officers would leave “no stone unturned” during the investigation.“The thoughts of everyone at Sussex Police are with the families of Jane, Christina and Rebecca following this devastating loss,” Hayes said.

New Delhi: Delhi High Court on Thursday reserved orders on interim relief sought by Rajya Sabha MP Raghav Chadha in his plea alleging abuse of his personality rights through AI-generated deepfakes, morphed visuals and manipulated social media content.The case was heard by Justice Subramaniam Prasad, who orally said during the hearing that the material placed before the court appeared to be a criticism of a political decision rather than a direct case of violation of personality rights.Noting that political leaders have historically been the target of satire and public criticism, the bench remarked, “Since Independence, we have been watching cartoons of RK Laxman. At that time perhaps social media had not reached the extent it has today.”Senior advocate Rajeev Nair, appearing for Chadha, argued that many of the posts circulated online were not mere political criticism, but defamatory and profane attacks portraying the MP as someone who switched political sides for monetary gain. Referring to some photographs placed before the court, Nair said, “She is shown in a saree. We are seeing the PM distributing and showering money.”However, the bench repeatedly questioned whether criticism of a political leader’s public conduct or political choices could be prevented under the personality rights law. Nair argued that the case also involved harm to reputation and defamation. He said, “They are saying I went for the money. That can’t be a fair criticism.”During the hearing, Justice Prasad also indicated that the court may appoint an amicus curiae to assist on broader legal questions related to the balance between the protection of free speech and dignity in the age of artificial intelligence and social media.“There are cases and cases. The line between defamation and criticism is quite thin. It is very easy to see it from the other side, which affects your right to live with dignity. Also, the right to Article 19 cannot be taken away.”The counsel appearing for Meta argued that many of the screenshots relied upon by Chadha were merely newspaper reports and otherwise benign content. After hearing the arguments of all the parties, the court reserved its order on the application seeking interim relief.Chadha has approached the Delhi High Court seeking protection against alleged misuse of her image, likeness, voice and identity through artificial intelligence and digitally manipulated content circulated online.Their plea seeks directions to ban the creation and dissemination of AI-generated deepfakes, morphed videos, synthetic voice clones, fabricated speeches and other allegedly misleading content on social media platforms.The petition said that unauthorized use of his personality through AI tools is capable of misleading the public and damaging his reputation. Chadha, who was earlier an MLA from Delhi’s Rajinder Nagar constituency between 2020 and 2022, joined the BJP in April 2026 after years with the Aam Aadmi Party.Speaking after the hearing, lawyer Satya Anand, appearing in the case, said the petition sought immediate removal of the allegedly defamatory material circulated online following Raghav Chadha’s recent political transition. He said several social media platforms and unnamed entities have been named as defendants in the case.“We are pushing to block content and remove content from the website… There is a lot of abusive content due to the recent political change. These are well-planned campaigns being run by multiple agencies… Meta, X (formerly Twitter), YouTube, Google and unknown violators are the respondents… The order has been reserved, it will be issued at the appropriate time… The court said yes, it is defamatory but whether it will come under the ambit of personality rights, they will take a decision in the interim,” Anand said.The case is part of a growing number of cases before the Delhi High Court relating to personality and publicity rights in the age of artificial intelligence. Public figures including Anil Kapoor and Amitabh Bachchan have previously secured protection against unauthorized use of their voice, likeness and identity through AI-generated content.

Millions of children in England will benefit from free bus travel this summer / Image: File

Millions of children across England will be able to travel for free on local buses throughout August under a new government-backed scheme aimed at helping families cope with the rising cost of living.The scheme, announced by Chancellor Rachel Reeves, will allow every child aged five to 15 to ride for free on participating local bus services in England from August 1 to August 31. The government says the initiative is part of a wider “Great British Summer Savings” package, designed to ease pressure on household budgets during the school holidays.Officials estimate the scheme will cost more than £100 million and could save families significant sums of money during the busy summer holidays, especially when many parents are facing rising food, travel and energy bills.

Explained about free bus travel in England

Under the scheme, children aged five to 15 can travel unlimitedly on participating local buses throughout England without paying fares or registering in advance. The government confirmed that this offer will run for the entire month of August.According to the Treasury, a family with two children who make one return bus journey per week could save around £27 over the summer month, based on the current average child fare.Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander said the move would help families enjoy affordable days out, visit relatives and explore local areas during the school holidays without having to worry about transport costs.The scheme is expected to apply only to participating local bus operators in England and will not automatically include long-distance coach services or rail travel. Full details on participating services are expected closer to launch.

Support for UK families during the summer

The announcement of free travel comes as the government faces increasing pressure on the cost of living and fears global tensions could push prices higher later this year.As well as free bus travel, ministers also announced plans to suspend tariffs on more than 100 imported food products including biscuits, chocolate, dried fruit and nuts in an effort to ease pressure on supermarket prices.Prime Minister Keir Starmer said many families were still “feeling the squeeze” and described the measures as practical steps to help parents through the expensive summer holidays.Rachel Reeves said her “number one priority” is to protect families from rising costs and help families enjoy the summer despite ongoing economic pressures related to global instability and inflation concerns.

Regional Success Stories

The national rollout follows successful local transport schemes launched in parts of England and the wider UK.In the west of England, a similar “Kids Go Free” initiative reportedly provided around 1.4 million free trips during the school holidays after launching last year. Regional leaders said the program helped youth travel independently while reducing financial pressure on families.Elsewhere in the UK, Scotland already offers free nationwide bus travel for everyone under 22 through its Young Persons Free Bus Travel scheme. Wales is also running a £1 discount on fares for young travellers.Transport campaigners welcomed the English plan, arguing that cheaper public transport could improve access to education, leisure and job opportunities while encouraging more people to use buses rather than cars.

Public reaction to free bus rides

Online reaction was largely positive, with many parents describing the announcement as a welcome financial relief during the expensive summer holiday period. Some social media users said even short family trips by bus have become increasingly expensive in recent years.One Reddit user wrote that taking kids downtown by bus could be nearly three times more expensive than driving after fares and parking are considered. Others praised similar schemes in Wales and Scotland to help teenagers travel more independently.However, critics questioned why the scheme only applies during August rather than the entire school year, when many families face higher regular transportation costs. Some also raised concerns about whether already expanded local bus services could meet increased passenger demand during busy holiday weeks.Despite the debate, the initiative is one of the largest nationwide free public transport offers for children launched in England in recent years.

Gujarat Titans and Chennai Super Kings will face each other in their final league stage encounter of IPL 2026 at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Thursday. Ahead of the much-awaited clash, Gujarat Titans star opener Sai Sudarshan revealed about his deep emotional bond with CSK, the franchise he has grown up idolising.Sai Sudarshan has once again enjoyed a stellar IPL campaign and continues his rise as one of the most consistent batsmen in the league. After winning the Orange Cap in IPL 2025 with a brilliant innings of 759 runs, the 24-year-old has maintained his form in IPL 2026 as well and remains firmly in the race for another dominant season. Despite a relatively quiet start to the campaign, Sudarshan has rediscovered top gear and crossed the 500-run mark for the second consecutive season. In 13 matches so far, the stylish left-hander has scored 554 runs and is currently placed fourth in the Orange Cap standings heading into GT’s final league clash.Ahead of the CSK clash, Sudarshan reflected on one of the most memorable innings of his IPL career, his maiden IPL century against Chennai Super Kings in Ahmedabad in 2024. Speaking on JioStar about his maiden IPL century against CSK, Sudarshan admitted that the innings holds extra emotional significance because of his childhood association with the Chennai-based franchise.“It wasn’t a conscious decision; I think it was God’s grace, and it came at the right time. But spending time in between is always special, especially when I play against CSK because, whatever is said and done, I have a deep emotional connection with CSK,” Sudarshan said.“I have grown up watching CSK play. We used to stand on the road to watch the team bus pass by our school. Those are great memories.” I am thankful to God that I was able to put up some memorable performances against CSK,” he said.Sai Sudarshan played a brilliant inning of 103 runs in just 51 balls and made a record opening partnership of 210 runs with the captain.

New Delhi: India is witnessing a rapid increase in dog bite cases. Supreme Court It has now stepped in with harsh comments over what it says is a public health situation that has reached “deeply disturbing proportions”. In a judgment passed on May 19, the court cited data showing that around 2.63 lakh dog bite cases were registered in Tamil Nadu and over 2 lakh such cases were registered in Karnataka and both in the first four months of 2026 alone. According to a report by Live Law, this raises serious concerns over public safety, management of stray dogs and the risk of rabies transmission.The observations came in a judgment confirming earlier directions to remove stray dogs from institutional premises and public places and check the state’s compliance with the animal birth control framework.What was said in the Supreme Court’s decision?A bench of Justices Vikram Nath, Sandeep Mehta and NV Anjaria expressed concern over the increasing incidents of dog bites across the country and questioned whether the existing systems were working effectively in managing the situation of stray dogs.The court criticized the Central and State governments, saying that prolonged inaction had escalated the problem to seriously disturbing proportions, and that the response was largely reactive and crisis-driven rather than proactive and structured.According to the data discussed in the judgment, Tamil Nadu alone has recorded around 2.63 lakh dog bite cases and 17 deaths in the first four months of 2026. Karnataka recorded more than 2 lakh dog bite cases and at least 25 rabies-related deaths in the same period.The court further said that the issue reflects a sustained and widespread pattern of attacks resulting in serious physical injury, psychological trauma and in many cases even loss of human life.What regulations currently apply to stray dogs?India regulates the management of stray dogs through Animal Birth Control (ABC) rules made under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act. The framework was first introduced in 2001 and was strengthened through the Animal Birth Control Rules, 2023.These rules focus on sterilization, anti-rabies vaccination and rehabilitation restrictions for stray dogs. Under the framework, stray dogs generally cannot be indiscriminately removed or killed. Instead, local authorities are expected to conduct sterilization and vaccination programs before releasing the dogs back into their areas.Animal rights groups argue that mass sterilization and vaccination are the only humane and scientifically effective long-term solutions.What concerns were raised before the Court?The court stated that animal birth control centers were inadequate and often lacked trained personnel, veterinary expertise and equipment. Existing facilities were running below capacity, hampering sterilization and vaccination drives.Questions were raised over whether state governments and municipal corporations were maintaining reliable data on stray dog ​​population, vaccination coverage, sterilization targets and rabies-related deaths.The court further commented that although the ABC framework has been in existence for more than two decades, states and union territories have failed to expand the infrastructure to suit the growing stray dog ​​population – leaving implementation “sporadic, underfunded and uneven”.Does the law allow removal of stray dogs?Generally, stray dogs cannot be arbitrarily relocated or killed merely because they are present in an area. However, officers may take action in cases involving rabid dogs, seriously aggressive animals or situations that pose an immediate threat to public safety. Nevertheless, procedures set out under animal welfare laws and municipal regulations must be followed.However, the Supreme Court made it clear that although animal welfare is constitutionally important, it cannot override the state’s obligation to protect human life.This legal balancing act between protecting human life and ensuring animal welfare remains at the center of ongoing debate.A dog bite doesn’t just mean getting hurt. The biggest concern is rabies – a viral disease that is almost always fatal once symptoms appear.India accounts for a large share of rabies deaths globally every year. Children are among the most vulnerable victims as they are more likely to interact with stray animals and may not immediately report minor bites or scratches.The important thing is that the Supreme Court has also considered this a constitutional issue. It emphasized that the State has a duty under Article 21 to protect human life, and where human life and security are at stake, governments cannot cite financial constraints, administrative inconveniences or logistical difficulties as justification for inaction.

Real estate agent Raj Singh says he has experienced verbal racist abuse

An Indian-New Zealand real estate agent has spoken out after years of targeted harassment by a neighbour, including eggs being thrown at her cars, garbage being thrown outside her home and repeated racist abuse.Raj Singh said the attacks began in 2018 and have continued since then, leaving his family distressed and fearful, especially as his children were still living at home.According to the NZ Herald, Singh said a man had previously urinated on his fence after trespassing on his property. Singh also said that the man had once hit his fence with such force that it almost broke.The man was convicted of disorderly conduct in 2020. Singh said she had made several complaints over the years, but the harassment started again in March after some time.According to Singh, the most recent incidents involved verbal abuse targeting his ethnicity. She said comments included: “F*** India”, “F*** Indians”, “I hate Indians” and “I hate you all”.Earlier this month, Singh reported another incident of verbal abuse to the police. When officers arrived they were unable to locate the man. Manukau Central Area Commander Inspector Adam Payne said, “Police inquiries are still ongoing, and we intend to speak to them.” [person] Further,” adding, “No one in the community should have to experience this verbal abuse.”Police also confirmed that they would take action if the person breached Singh’s no-trespass order.Singh has lived in New Zealand for almost four decades and also serves as a Justice of the Peace. He said the situation has affected his family. She said her children were “very scared and stressed” during the worst of the abuse and added, “My family and I have lived in New Zealand for almost four decades – it is our home.He said he took “racial discrimination and racist abuse extremely seriously” and has reported his experiences to the Human Rights Commission.The case comes amid growing concern over racially motivated incidents in New Zealand. In December, a group known as the True Patriots of New Zealand disrupted a Sikh religious parade in South Auckland. Earlier this year, RNZ reported on police hate crime data which showed that people of South Asian origin were the most targeted group for racial abuse.Camille Nakhid, a social sciences professor at Auckland University of Technology, said racial tensions rise during elections, especially for Indian communities. He added, “You have to get rid of racism, you have to get rid of our colonial mentality.”

FIR against Rahul Gandhi over ‘seditious’ remarks against PM Modi, Amit Shah (Image credit: ANI)

After the Congress leader, Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha has lodged a complaint with the police. Rahul Gandhi Reportedly referred to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah as a “traitor” during a public event.Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha spokesperson Abhishek Dubey lodged a complaint at Tigri police station in south Delhi on Wednesday.Sharing a copy of the complaint on Twitter, Dubey alleged that Gandhi used “indecent and objectionable language” against the Prime Minister and the Home Minister.What did Rahul Gandhi say in Rae BareliThe controversy started when Gandhi, while addressing party workers and supporters in Rae Bareli, urged people to confront RSS workers and called Prime Minister Modi, Amit Shah “traitors”.Gandhi said, “When these RSS workers come in front of you, speak about Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, then you will have to say on their face that your Prime Minister, Home Minister and the organization (BJP) are traitors. You have worked to sell India. You have worked to attack the Constitution.”The Congress leader also accused the Modi government of weakening India’s economic system and alleged that it has been handed over to industrialists and foreign interests.Taking aim at the Prime Minister’s recent foreign trips, Gandhi claimed that the country is heading towards an economic crisis while the government is asking citizens to cut fuel consumption and reduce foreign travel.He also took a dig at PM Modi’s meeting with Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, saying, “We have an economic storm looming over our heads and our Prime Minister is distributing sweets in Italy.”BJP condemned the remarks; PDP, Congress hit backThis comment was sharply criticized by many BJP leaders including Nitin Nabin. However, former Jammu and Kashmir CM Mehbooba Mufti questioned the outrage and alleged that BJP leaders have often used words like “traitor” and “turncoat” for critics since 2014 without facing a similar response.However, Congress is yet to officially respond to the complaint. Meanwhile, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh once again attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi.In his statement he says, “The Prime Minister is busy distributing caps and making moral appeals to the public while the ground beneath the country’s feet is slipping. India urgently needs fundamental changes in economic policies, but the Modi government has no new ideas beyond self-praise.”

New Delhi: The Telangana High Court upheld the conviction of a woman who stabbed her husband to death during a violent fight at their parents’ home, but reduced her sentence from four years of rigorous imprisonment to a mere fine of Rs 500.The case revolves around a sudden fight between a couple. According to court records, the husband initially went to the woman’s parents’ house with the children on dates. After the argument, he left, but later returned naked and allegedly abused and threatened the woman and her family again. In the midst of the confrontation, the woman picked up a knife and stabbed him, causing injuries that resulted in his death.Initially, the case was treated as murder under section 302 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). However, the trial court concluded that the incident did not amount to murder as there was no evidence of pre-planning or deliberate intent to kill. Instead, he was convicted under Section 304 Part II of the IPC, which deals with culpable homicide, and sentenced to four years of rigorous imprisonment with a fine of Rs 500.

What legal exception did the court use?

The High Court relied on Exception 4 to Section 300 of the IPC, which says that a murder cannot be considered murder if it occurs suddenly during a fight, without any premeditation, in the heat of passion and without the accused taking unfair advantage or acting in a cruel or unusual manner.The court said the woman acted impulsively during a heated argument rather than carrying out a planned attack. It also noted that while his conviction was upheld – since stabbing with a knife is an act likely to cause death, establishing knowledge under Section 304 Part II – the circumstances warranted a lenient approach on sentencing.

Why was there no jail sentence?

The woman was originally sentenced to four years of rigorous imprisonment by the lower court. Hearing his appeal, the Telangana High Court took note of the circumstances surrounding the incident and decided not to impose further imprisonment. Instead, it changed the punishment to a fine of Rs 500 which was already part of the original order and which the woman had already paid.

Does this mean that killing during combat is always forgiven?

No, Indian law does not automatically condone violence committed during an argument or dispute. Courts closely examine factors such as intent, planning, nature of the weapon used, seriousness of the attack and whether the accused acted disproportionately. If the court finds evidence of clear intention or preparation to commit murder, the offense may still fall under the category of murder under section 302 of the IPC, which carries a much harsher punishment, including life imprisonment.
