Police are not using live facial recognition in its policing of the ‘Unite the Kingdom’ demonstration which is beginning on London’s south bank, reports the PA news agency.

It said:

We’re using a mobile CCTV van to help monitor the build up of crowds. Officers have been asked if it’s using ‘live facial recognition’ – we can confirm it is not.

The live facial recognition technology – which captures people’s faces in real-time CCTV cameras – was used in the policing operation at the Notting Hill carnival.

The Notting Hill Carnival crowd is vastly people of color, which facial recognition does not work well on. meanwhile a bunch of white, right wing people don't get the same policing.

No idea why he lets these linger for a month or more and then does them in batches. But the way he politicizes his delayed approval of disaster funds is super gross.

So it wasn't that spending is an issue, it's that the way it was constructed he couldn't take personal credit for every dime of relief funds?

I get sick of the reality TV president and his approach to be the center of everything and to take credit for everything. He seems to have some real confidence issues to need this much reassurance.

U.S. warns of response to 'witch hunt' after Brazil’s Bolsonaro sentenced to 27 years

The chances of a near-term de-escalation between the U.S. and Brazil are low, Morningstar analysts said, adding the bilateral relationship is likely to deteriorate further.

The U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Thursday said the U.S. will "respond accordingly" to what he called a "witch hunt" against former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, without specifying how.

The remarks came shortly after Brazil's Supreme Court sentenced Bolsonaro to 27 years and three months in prison after being convicted of plotting a coup to overturn the 2022 election.

ABC has backed down to Trump and CBS is now owned by Trump's buddies at Skydance and they've already gotten rid of their news director and the managing editor of 60 Minutes. The list of "liberal media" grows thinner by the week, it seems, yet Trumpers will never admit that they are now the dominant news media force in the country and now have a mostly favorable media. To do so would undermine one of their bedrock beliefs - that they are the heroic rebels taking on the evil LibDem media empire. The truth is that they are now rapidly becoming the Galactic Media Empire, and they're not the outsiders anymore. And word is that Skydance may soon buy Warner Brothers, which would place CNN under their control as well.
 
shocker, I know, but the fascist really in london has led to violence.

Home secretary condemns protesters​

The home secretary condemned protesters who attacked and injured police officers at the march.

Shabana Mahmood posted on X on Saturday evening: “The right to peaceful protest is fundamental to this nation. I thank the police who worked hard to ensure much of today’s protest was peaceful.

“But I condemn those who have attacked and injured police officers. Anyone taking part in criminal activity will face the full force of the law.”

Also on X, Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey criticised Elon Musk for comments delivered via video link in which he said a “dissolution of parliament” and a “change of government” were needed in the UK.

Davey said: “Our democracy is too precious to be a plaything for foreign tech barons.

“Elon Musk doesn’t care about the British people or our rights. He only cares about himself and his ego.”

MPs express shock after alleged racially motivated rape of Sikh woman

West Midlands detectives are looking for two white male suspects after incident involving 20-year-old in Oldbury
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

MPs have expressed their shock at reports of the racially motivated rape of a 20-year-old Sikh woman, said to have occurred in broad daylight.

Detectives are looking for two white male suspects alleged to have racially abused the woman during the assault – they believe one suspect had a shaved head and wore gloves.


The incident is alleged to have taken place on Tuesday morning in Oldbury, close to Birmingham. A Sikh community group said it had spoken to the woman and her family and that the words the attackers said were: “You don’t belong in this country, get out.”

Police confirmed it was being treated as a racially aggravated attack and isolated incident.

So, we have the Evergreen High School shooter’s on-line profile (or at least some of it) 3 days after the shooting. Granted, authorities almost immediately knew the shooter’s ID.

Three days after Charlie Kirk’s shooting, we haven’t heard one whisper about his alleged killer’s on-line activities or any hand-written materials or drawings.
