The Metropolitan police said the three men were charged with arson ‘being reckless as to whether life would be endangered’. Published On 4 Apr 20264 Apr 2026 Two British nationals and one UK-Pakistani national have been remanded in custody after they appeared in a court charged with arson in relation to four ambulances owned by a Jewish charity in London that were torched. The March 23 attack in Golders Green, an area of North London with a large Jewish community, destroyed four ambulances belonging to the volunteer organisation Hatzola. Recommended Stories list of 3 itemsend of list Two of the suspects were identified by police on Saturday as British nationals, Hamza Iqbal, 20, and Rehan Khan, 19. The third suspect, a 17-year-old UK-Pakistani dual national, cannnot be named for legal reasons. According to a statement by the Metropolitan Police, the three suspects, who had been arrested at different locations in East London on Wednesday, were charged with arson and “being reckless as to whether life would be endangered”. The suspects did not enter a plea in a 45-minute appearance at the Westminster Magistrates Court. The court heard that British police also arrested a fourth person in connection with the arson attack. ‘Deeply shocking’ The ambulances that were set on fire were run by Hatzola, a volunteer organisation which provides free medical transportation and emergency response primarily for the Orthodox Jewish community. According to the London Fire Brigade, the explosions from cylinders on the vehicles had shattered nearby windows, but no one was injured. Since the fire, the police have promised to increase security around Jewish community sites across the capital. British Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the incident as a “deeply shocking antisemitic arson attack”.

So far, the incident has not been declared a “terror offence”, but counterterrorism officers are leading the investigation. The three defendants are set to appear at London’s Central Criminal Court, better known as the Old Bailey, on April 24. The Iran-aligned Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya (HAYI) group claimed responsibility for the attack. It has also previously claimed responsibility for similar attacks in Belgium and the Netherlands. Adblock test (Why?)

US court orders resentencing for Colorado clerk involved in election scheme
Former clerk Tina Peters has become a cause celebre for the election denial movement and President Donald Trump. By The Associated Press Published On 2 Apr 20262 Apr 2026 An appeals court in the state of Colorado has ordered the resentencing of Tina Peters, a former county clerk convicted of involvement in an election meddling scheme in the United States. The court overturned Peters’s nine-year prison sentence on Thursday, but not her conviction for helping to tamper with voting machines after the 2020 presidential race. Recommended Stories list of 3 itemsend of list Her case has become a cause celebre for President Donald Trump and the election denial movement, after it emerged that she was seeking evidence to support Trump’s false claim that his 2020 loss was due to massive fraud. In Thursday’s decision, the three-judge appeals panel ruled that a lower court had considered Peters’s personal beliefs when deciding upon a punishment, thereby rendering the sentence improper. “The trial court’s comments about Peters’s belief in the existence of 2020 election fraud went beyond relevant considerations for her sentencing,” the appeals court wrote. The panel cited comments from Judge Matthew Barrett, who blasted Peters as a “charlatan” promoting “snake oil” claims. “Her offence was not her belief, however misguided the trial court deemed it to be, in the existence of such election fraud,” the appeals court said. “It was her deceitful actions in her attempt to gather evidence of such fraud.” Peters was convicted in August 2024 for helping someone from outside the government gain access to the Mesa County election system and make copies. That person was affiliated with efforts to overturn Trump’s 2020 loss, and the copies they obtained were then shared on social media. False claims that the 2020 election was marred by massive fraud have been a persistent fixation for Trump and his allies, even after his successful re-election in 2024. Advertisement Trump’s efforts to remain in office after his 2020 defeat were the subject of a 2023 criminal indictment brought by former special counsel Jack Smith. He alleged that Trump led a criminal conspiracy to undermine the election process and rally supporters to overturn the results. Those charges, however, were ultimately dropped when Trump took office again in 2025, as the US Justice Department has a policy against prosecuting sitting presidents. Since his inauguration, Trump has continued to push the claims he won the 2020 race. He has also used his allegations of fraud to demand greater control over the country’s election infrastructure in advance of the upcoming 2026 midterm elections. In December, the president pardoned Peters, even though she was not in federal custody, and the presidential power of pardon does not extend to state crimes. The appeals court panel confirmed on Thursday that Trump’s pardon had no impact on state offences. “We have found no instance where the presidential pardon power has been stretched in such a way as to invade an individual state’s sovereignty,” the panel said. State Governor Jared Polis suggested last month that he could consider clemency for Peters. Adblock test (Why?)
Trump unveils 100 percent tariff on drugs to push for pharmaceutical deals
US president has said that he will use tariffs to bring down costly pharmaceutical drugs, but the impact remains uncertain. By The Associated Press Published On 2 Apr 20262 Apr 2026 United States President Donald Trump has signed an executive order that could slap long-threatened tariffs of up to 100 percent on some patented drugs if pharmaceutical companies don’t reach deals with his administration in the coming months. Under Thursday’s executive order, companies that have signed a “most favoured nation” pricing deal and are actively building facilities in the US will have a zero-percent tariff. Recommended Stories list of 3 itemsend of list For those that don’t have a pricing deal but are building such projects in the US, a 20 percent tariff will apply, but it will increase to 100 percent in four years. A senior administration official told reporters on a press call that companies still have months to negotiate before the 100 percent tariffs kick in. Bigger companies will have 120 days, and 180 days are offered for everyone else. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity to preview the executive order before it was issued, did not identify any companies or drugs that were in jeopardy of getting hit with the increased tariffs. But the source noted the administration had already reached 17 pricing deals with major drugmakers, 13 of which have signed. In Thursday’s executive order, Trump wrote that he deemed the tariffs necessary “to address the threatened impairment of the national security posed by imports of pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutical ingredients”. The order arrived on the first anniversary of Trump’s so-called Liberation Day, when the president unveiled sweeping new import taxes on nearly every country in the world, sending the stock market reeling. Those “Liberation Day” tariffs were among the duties the Supreme Court overturned in February. Critics, pharmaceutical leaders and medical groups warned of the consequences the new tariffs could bring. Advertisement Stephen J Ubl, the CEO of the pharmaceutical company trade group PhRMA, said taxes “on cutting-edge medicines will increase costs and could jeopardize billions in US investments”. He pointed to America’s already large footprint in biopharmaceutical manufacturing and noted medicines sourced from other countries “overwhelmingly come from reliable US allies”. Trump has launched a barrage of new import taxes on US trading partners since the start of his second term and repeatedly pledged sky-high levies on foreign-made drugs. But the administration has also used the threat of new levies to strike deals with major companies — like Pfizer, Eli Lilly and Bristol Myers Squibb — over the last year, with promises of lower prices for new drugs. Beyond company-specific rates, a handful of countries have reached trade frameworks with the US to further cap tariffs on drugs sent to the US. The European Union, Japan, Korea and Switzerland will see a 15 percent US tariff on patented pharmaceuticals, matching previously agreed rates for most goods. Meanwhile, the United Kingdom will get 10 percent, which Thursday’s order noted would “then reduce to zero” under future trade agreements. The UK previously said it secured a zero-percent tariff rate for all British medicines exported to the US for at least three years. Adblock test (Why?)
