Spy case prosecutors weren’t given MI5 papers on China threat, claims ex-minister
Sir Keir Starmer’s team had access to “multiple” documents which proved China was a national security risk before the collapse of a spying trial, the shadow home secretary has claimed, amid growing questions over the government’s willingness to confront Beijing. Chris Philp claimed the government could have handed these papers over to prosecutors, but they “chose not to”, accusing ministers of having “destroyed the prosecution” of two men accused of spying for Beijing. The case against 30-year-old Christopher Cash, a former parliamentary researcher, and 33-year-old Christopher Berry, a teacher, collapsed last month after the government did not provide evidence that Beijing was a threat to national security. Mr Cash and Mr Berry were charged by the CPS in April last year with spying under the Official Secrets Act 1911, when they were accused of collecting and communicating information which could be “useful to an enemy”. They both denied the charges. Sir Keir has maintained that because the last Conservative administration had not designated China as a threat to national security, his government could not provide evidence to that effect, which the director of public prosecutions (DPP) Stephen Parkinson said was required to meet the threshold for prosecution. But the collapse of the case has raised questions about Britain’s willingness to confront China as Sir Keir’s government looks to build closer ties with the country. Mr Parkinson had blamed ministers for failing to provide the crucial evidence needed to proceed, saying the CPS had tried “over many months” to gather material. Writing in The Times, Mr Philp said: “The DPP is calling out the government. Keir Starmer’s excuse is that the previous government did not publicly categorise China as a threat to national security. “There is no delicate way to say this: what the prime minister said is totally untrue — and anyway it is not the legal test.” Mr Philp, who was a Home Office minister between October 2022 and July 2024, added: “The government has multiple internal documents and reports on the threat China posed to national security in the 2021-23 period. “I have spoken to colleagues who served as relevant ministers then and they have told me these documents exist. “As a former minister, I know it myself from my time in government. “The government has plenty of information on the threat to national security from China seeking to acquire sensitive technologies through nefarious means, including during the relevant time. “Starmer’s government could have disclosed these documents to the CPS, in private if needed. It chose not to. “It instead destroyed the prosecution by refusing to disclose the evidence the CPS needed – evidence the government has in its possession – and instead provided unhelpful witness statements.” Meanwhile, crossbench peer Lord Sedwill, who served as national security adviser from 2017 to 2020, during which time he was also Britain’s most senior civil servant, said he was “genuinely puzzled” about the collapse of the trial. “The truth is that, of course, China is a national security threat to the UK directly, through cyber, through spying and so on, and indirectly because of some of their aggressive behaviour in the South China Sea and elsewhere,” the former Cabinet Secretary added, speaking on the Crisis Room podcast. Jonathan Hall KC, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, has said he is “investigating” the episode. “I know quite a lot about it now and I don’t think that the public explanation that’s been given so far is at all adequate,” he told LBC. “I personally find it confusing and I do think that when something like this happens, the public and everyone who was looking at this to say, well, how is the UK going to treat this sort of behaviour by China? It deserves a much fuller explanation.” But speaking at a press conference in India on Thursday, Sir Keir said he “can be absolutely clear, no ministers were involved in any of the decisions since this government’s been in, in relation to the evidence that’s put before the court on this issue”. He said: “It’s not a party political point. It’s a matter of law. You can only try someone on the basis of the situation as it was at the time of the alleged offence. “You can’t try them on the basis of the situation as it might evolve, weeks, months, years down the line. That’s a fundamental and that’s at the centre of this particular issue.” Sir Keir also sought to blame the previous Tory administration for the collapse of the trial, saying: “We were disappointed that the trial didn’t proceed, but the position is very clear that the trial would have had to take place on the basis of the situation as it was at the time, under the previous Tory government.” Meanwhile, foreign secretary Yvette Cooper, who was home secretary until September, said she is “deeply frustrated” because she “wanted to see it prosecuted”. But she added that ministers were “not involved in any of the evidence that was put to the Crown Prosecution Service ... because this was a criminal case”. “As the prime minister has set out, this was also about not just the law that was in place at the time of the offences, but also the government stance that was in place at the time of the offences, and it was not for us to say in retrospect what that should have been." She added: “Let's be really clear, the activity that was alleged in this case absolutely should be illegal and should face prosecution, and that's why we supported changing the law since then, which makes it easier to prosecute cases like this" But in a rare intervention on Thursday, Simon Case, who served as cabinet secretary between July 2020 and December 2024, challenged Sir Keir’s assertion that the government’s hands were tied by the previous Conservative government’s stance on whether China was officially a threat. “Going back over years, we have had heads of our intelligence agencies describing in public the threat that China poses to our national and economic security interests,” he told The Telegraph.

What the new entry-exit system means for Brits travelling to Europe
A new automated EU travel scheme to replace the manual stamping of passports is set to come into force this weekend. The entry-exit system (EES), which will require UK citizens to provide fingerprints and facial biometrics before travelling to Europe, has faced numerous delays, but the digital border scheme will now be rolled out over the space of 180 days - from this Sunday, 12 October to 9 April 2026. But according to reports, an app that will help people pre-register for the system is still not available to travellers and even when it is, the only nation that is confirmed to be deploying it so far is Sweden. Travel experts have warned that travellers should prepare for delays, with Simon Calder telling BBC Radio 4: "All you can do is hope for the best and be prepared for delays and disruption." Yahoo News UK examines how the system will work and what British travellers can expect when it eventually rolls out. How does the EES work? The entry-exit system (EES) is an automated IT system for registering non-EU nationals who are travelling to the EU for a short stay - up to 90 days within any 180-day period. The system will register the traveller's name, type of travel document, biometric data (fingerprints and captured facial images) and the date of place of entry and exit. It will replace the current system of manually stamping passports. The system will be used by the 29 countries in the Schengen Area, which guarantees free movement to its 450 million EU citizens. Frontex, the EU border and coastguard agency, has developed an app called Travel to Europe which will enable people to pre-register their travel document data and facial image for the EES ahead of time. But while the app was made available for EU member states to integrate into national systems, it is still not available to travellers. It will also only be usable for travellers to Sweden, as it is the only confirmed nation to be deploying the app so far. What does this mean for Brits travelling to Europe? The EES will be used to register travellers from countries outside the EU, including the UK, each time they cross a border in or out of the bloc. British travellers will have to scan their passports or other travel documents at an automated self-service kiosk before crossing the border, instead of having their passport stamped manually. In its latest guidance, the Foreign Office confirmed that British travellers will have their fingerprint or photo taken when first entering or leaving the Schengen area, and said people should be prepared for some queues. "EES may take each passenger a few extra minutes to complete so be prepared to wait longer than usual at the border once the system starts," the department said. People's data will normally be erased from the system three years after their last trip to an EU country using the EES. Children under the age of 12 will not have to give fingerprints. The Foreign Office adds that the rules are different for the Republic of Ireland and for Cyprus, which is not in the Schengen area. "You can stay up to 90 days in a 180-day period in Cyprus without a visa," it added. "Any time you spend in the Schengen area does not affect the number of days you can spend in Cyprus." The EES will operate at the Port of Dover and Eurostar and Eurotunnel terminals in the UK. There will be self-service kiosks in St Pancras station for Eurostar passengers, but passengers will have to get out of their cars to register at the Eurotunnel terminal in Folkestone, Kent. At the port of Dover, car passengers will be provided tablet devices to register and can remain in their vehicles, but coach passengers will have to disembark and use kiosks. There are concerns that the system will mean delays for passengers in the UK. In February, a union warned the introduction of the scheme will lead to delays for UK travellers Lucy Moreton, professional officer at the ISU, the union for borders, immigration and customs, told Yahoo News UK that should travellers should expect delays. "In the early phases it is likely to lead to delays as folk who were not aware of the requirement try to travel," she said. Research has also suggested that UK holidaymakers remain confused about how the rules will impact their trips abroad. The research from Holiday Extras found that 82% of UK travellers remain unclear on how EES will impact their trips, and over a third (35%) are unaware of the scheme coming into force altogether. Why is this happening? The EU said the EES will modernise the management of its borders and eventually lead to an improved experience for travellers. The system is designed to combat identity fraud and spot overstayers to the EU, as well as strengthen security within the bloc. The EES has been delayed repeatedly – initially scheduled for a 2022 start, it was pushed back to May 2023, then the end of 2024 and then until November 2024. Now the European Union has said ESS will start operations on 12 October 2025, and that European countries using the system "will introduce the system gradually at their external borders". "This means that data collection will be gradually introduced at border crossing points with full implementation by 10 April 2026," it added. What does it mean for ETIAS? The EES is linked to the European Travel Information and Authorisation System (ETIAS). This is a new entry requirement for travellers to enter 30 European countries – the 29 Schengen Area nations as well as Cyprus. With ETIAS, which is not a visa, travellers must apply well in advance for a travel authorisation before starting their trip. Travellers must go online and provide personal information such as address, passport information, current occupation, past travel to conflict zones or any criminal convictions, but unlike EES, no biometric data is collected. The ETIAS, which will cost about £6, will be valid for three years or until the passport used for the application runs out, whichever comes first. The ETIAS is expected to roll out in the last quarter of 2026, a year after the EES becomes operational in October 2025. If that timeline remains in place, by the end of 2026 UK travellers will need authorisation from both systems to travel to the EU. What are the ETIAS travel rules for Brits travelling to Europe?

Donald Trump Reached Half-Century on Claiming to Stop Operation Sindoor: Jairam Ramesh’s Jibe at PM Narendra Modi Praising US President
New Delhi, October 10: Congress MP and party's General Secretary in-charge Communications Jairam Ramesh took a sharp jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday for praising President Donald Trump while the United States President reached a "half century mark" on claiming that he used trade and tariffs as a "brahmastra" to stop Operation Sindoor and facilitated the cessation of hostilities between India and Pakistan post Pahalgam attack. President Trump has been consistent, insistent, and persistent and it won't be long before he scores a century, the Congress leader stressed. "President Trump, during his meeting with President Alexander Stubb of Finland, reached the half-century mark on his claim that he stopped Operation Sindoor using trade and tariffs as his brahmastra. In this, President Trump has been consistent, insistent, and persistent. And it won't be long before he scores a century", the party leader said on X. Hitting out at PM Modi for his "praise and admiration to Trump", the Congress leader also took a veiled jibe for not condemning the genocide in Gaza and speaking to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Nobel Peace Prize 2025: Donald Trump Pitches His Name Again Hours Before Announcement, Says ‘Barack Obama Got It for Nothing, I Stopped 8 Wars’ (Watch Video). "Prime Minister Modi spent all day yesterday talking to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer and sending message after message of praise and admiration to President Trump. He did not, of course, forget to speak to the man who had unleashed the genocide on Gaza - the Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu - also during this time", the Congress leader said in the post. Earlier on October 9, the Congress MP had said that PM Modi's "unqualified" praise of Israeli PM following the agreement on the first phase of the Gaza peace plan is "shocking, shameful and morally atrocious." "The Prime Minister has welcomed the new developments regarding Gaza and hailed President Trump. That eagerness to do so is not surprising. But what is shocking, shameful, and morally atrocious is Mr. Modi's unqualified praise for the Israeli PM Mr Netanyahu - who has unleashed a genocide in Gaza over the past twenty months", his post read. PM Modi has welcomed the agreement on the first phase of President Donald Trump's peace plan on Thursday. The Prime Minister said this development reflects the strong leadership of his Israeli counterpart, Benjamin Netanyahu. ‘They Were Ready to Go at It’: Donald Trump Repeats False Claim of Having Ended India-Pakistan Conflict Following Operation Sindoor.

He expressed hope that the release of hostages and enhanced humanitarian assistance to the people of Gaza will bring much-needed respite and pave the way for lasting peace in the region.

India News | SC Dismisses PIL Seeking CBI Probe into Children's Death in MP, Rajasthan Due to Cough Syrup
New Delhi [India], October 10 (ANI): The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a PIL seeking CBI investigation into the death of children in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan after consumption of toxic cough syrup. A bench headed by Chief Justice of India BR Gavai declined to hear the plea after a brief hearing. Also Read | TVK Vijay Rally Stampede: Supreme Court to Hear Today Plea for Independent Probe Into Karur Stampede. Advocate Vishal Tiwari, petitioner, said it was not the first instance of such adulterated medicine, and states are blaming each other; hence, a probe by one agency is needed. Solicitor General Tushar Mehta, who was present in the courtroom, told the bench that state governments of Tamil Nadu, Madhya Pradesh, etc., will take steps in this regard. Also Read | Bihar Assembly Elections 2025: Notification Issued for 1st Phase, Nominations for 121 Constituencies Can Be Filed Till October 17. "We can not trust the states. Of course, they will take steps," said Mehta. Tiwari said there are several deaths of children, and there was no proper lab test or clinical trial done. Mehta objected to Tiwari's PIL, saying whenever something happens, even though all institutions are in place, he reads newspapers and comes here. CJI then asked the lawyer how many PILs he has filed. When Tiwari said he had filed eight to ten PILs, the bench dismissed his plea. The PIL filed sought a retired Supreme Court judge to monitor a probe and inquiry into the manufacture, regulation, testing and distribution of contaminated cough syrups. The petition called for the constitution of a National Judicial Commission or Expert Committee headed by a retired Supreme Court judge to conduct a comprehensive inquiry into the manufacture, testing, and distribution of contaminated cough syrups containing Diethylene Glycol (DEG) and Ethylene Glycol (EG), the same toxic compounds that have previously caused fatalities. It sought direction to the Centre to set up a National Judicial Commission or Expert Committee to investigate the regulatory failures that allowed the circulation of substandard cough syrups, and to suggest robust measures to prevent such tragedies. The proposed body should be chaired by a retired Supreme Court judge and include experts in pharmacology, toxicology, and drug regulation, it suggested. The PIL also sought a direction to transfer all pending FIRs and investigations related to the child deaths due to poisonous cough syrups in various states to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), under the supervision of a former Supreme Court judge, to ensure an impartial, coordinated probe. Multiple state-level inquiries have resulted in fragmented accountability, allowing recurring instances of toxic formulations to reach consumers, it added. As per the reports, several children died in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan after consuming Coldrif Cough Syrup, a formulation manufactured by M/s Sresan Pharma Pvt. Ltd., a Tamil Nadu-based pharmaceutical company. The petition called for "immediately recall, seize and prohibit the sale and distribution of all batches of Coldrif Cough Syrup and any other formulations manufactured by M/s Sresan Pharma Pvt. Ltd., Tamil Nadu, or any related companies, pending toxicological clearance and verification of safety standards by independent NABL-accredited laboratories." It further sought direction to the Centre to conduct nationwide mandatory testing of all syrup-based pharmaceutical formulations for the presence of Diethylene Glycol (DEG) and Ethylene Glycol (EG), and to publish the results of such testing in the public domain for transparency and public safety. The petition sought direction to suspend or cancel the manufacturing licenses of pharmaceutical companies found involved in the production or distribution of contaminated medicines, and to initiate criminal prosecution against those responsible for the loss of human life.

Hannah Frances: Nested in Tangles review – ramshackle arrangements power restless revelations
Hannah Frances’s exhilarating sixth album is an unruly ecosystem: nature sprawls, resurfaced family trauma unearths “unrevealed roots”, an unexpected rupture creates fertile ground for new understandings to blossom. The deep steadiness of the Vermont songwriter’s previous album, last year’s Keeper of the Shepherd, is replaced by ramshackle clusters of kindling-snap drums, nervy woodwind, jabbing brass, all swarming together like a cloud of bees. Her awkwardly beautiful chord changes evoke ornate wood carvings; her tempos are always wayward. The showstopper is Life’s Work, a runaway quest about her hunger to vanquish resentment, blame and anger, the tumbling metre of the lyrics unspooling as if pulling at an endless ball of wool. “Learning to trust in spite of it is life’s work,” she declares, as a trumpet tries to keep pace with her. Surviving You makes clear that it’s not so easy: “There’s nothing more to give toward forgiveness / When there is no willingness to understand,” she sings. Her vocal harmonies are layered crudely, the feeling queasy and trapped by frustration; the rhythm suddenly becomes pendulous and guitar, sax and synths squall on the attack. The detail in the songs feels like someone tilling the earth, turning over every rock and grain to see what revelation it might yield. Falling from and Further wonders whether it’s better to feel pain or forget it in order to move on, trying out the different possibilities in the guise of country balladry, dissonant woodwind and kicking up dust. It’s a restless record that commands attentive listening, the absolute clarity of Frances’s songwriting voice standing tall as the leaves bluster around her.

Spy case prosecutors weren’t given MI5 papers on China threat, claims ex-minister
Sir Keir Starmer’s team had access to “multiple” documents which proved China was a national security risk before the collapse of a spying trial, the shadow home secretary has claimed, amid growing questions over the government’s willingness to confront Beijing. It comes as Yvette Cooper, who was in charge of MI5 at the time, said she wanted the case prosecuted and was “deeply frustrated” when the it collapsed. But she added that ministers were “not involved in any of the evidence that was put to the Crown Prosecution Service ... because this was a criminal case”. Chris Philp claimed the government could have handed these papers over to prosecutors, but they “chose not to”, accusing ministers of having “destroyed the prosecution” of two men accused of spying for Beijing. The case against 30-year-old Christopher Cash, a former parliamentary researcher, and 33-year-old Christopher Berry, a teacher, collapsed last month after the government did not provide evidence that Beijing was a threat to national security. Mr Cash and Mr Berry were charged by the CPS in April last year with spying under the Official Secrets Act 1911, when they were accused of collecting and communicating information which could be “useful to an enemy”. They both denied the charges. Sir Keir has maintained that because the last Conservative administration had not designated China as a threat to national security, his government could not provide evidence to that effect, which the director of public prosecutions (DPP) Stephen Parkinson said was required to meet the threshold for prosecution. But the collapse of the case has raised questions about Britain’s willingness to confront China as Sir Keir’s government looks to build closer ties with the country. Mr Parkinson had blamed ministers for failing to provide the crucial evidence needed to proceed, saying the CPS had tried “over many months” to gather material. Writing in The Times, Mr Philp said: “The DPP is calling out the government. Keir Starmer’s excuse is that the previous government did not publicly categorise China as a threat to national security. “There is no delicate way to say this: what the prime minister said is totally untrue — and anyway it is not the legal test.” Mr Philp, who was a Home Office minister between October 2022 and July 2024, added: “The government has multiple internal documents and reports on the threat China posed to national security in the 2021-23 period. “I have spoken to colleagues who served as relevant ministers then and they have told me these documents exist. “As a former minister, I know it myself from my time in government. “The government has plenty of information on the threat to national security from China seeking to acquire sensitive technologies through nefarious means, including during the relevant time. “Starmer’s government could have disclosed these documents to the CPS, in private if needed. It chose not to. “It instead destroyed the prosecution by refusing to disclose the evidence the CPS needed – evidence the government has in its possession – and instead provided unhelpful witness statements.” Meanwhile, crossbench peer Lord Sedwill, who served as national security adviser from 2017 to 2020, during which time he was also Britain’s most senior civil servant, said he was “genuinely puzzled” about the collapse of the trial. “The truth is that, of course, China is a national security threat to the UK directly, through cyber, through spying and so on, and indirectly because of some of their aggressive behaviour in the South China Sea and elsewhere,” the former Cabinet Secretary added, speaking on the Crisis Room podcast. Jonathan Hall KC, the independent reviewer of terrorism legislation, has said he is “investigating” the episode. “I know quite a lot about it now and I don’t think that the public explanation that’s been given so far is at all adequate,” he told LBC. “I personally find it confusing and I do think that when something like this happens, the public and everyone who was looking at this to say, well, how is the UK going to treat this sort of behaviour by China? It deserves a much fuller explanation.” But speaking at a press conference in India on Thursday, Sir Keir said he “can be absolutely clear, no ministers were involved in any of the decisions since this government’s been in, in relation to the evidence that’s put before the court on this issue”. He said: “It’s not a party political point. It’s a matter of law. You can only try someone on the basis of the situation as it was at the time of the alleged offence. “You can’t try them on the basis of the situation as it might evolve, weeks, months, years down the line. That’s a fundamental and that’s at the centre of this particular issue.” Sir Keir also sought to blame the previous Tory administration for the collapse of the trial, saying: “We were disappointed that the trial didn’t proceed, but the position is very clear that the trial would have had to take place on the basis of the situation as it was at the time, under the previous Tory government.” Meanwhile, Ms Cooper - who was home secretary until September - told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme: “I am deeply frustrated about this case, because I of course, wanted to see it prosecuted. But ministers were not involved in any of the evidence that was put to the Crown Prosecution Service.” “As the prime minister has set out, this was also about not just the law that was in place at the time of the offences, but also the government stance that was in place at the time of the offences, and it was not for us to say in retrospect what that should have been.” The foreign secretary added: “Let's be really clear, the activity that was alleged in this case absolutely should be illegal and should face prosecution, and that's why we supported changing the law since then, which makes it easier to prosecute cases like this.” But in a rare intervention on Thursday, Simon Case, who served as cabinet secretary between July 2020 and December 2024, challenged Sir Keir’s assertion that the government’s hands were tied by the previous Conservative government’s stance on whether China was officially a threat. “Going back over years, we have had heads of our intelligence agencies describing in public the threat that China poses to our national and economic security interests,” he told The Telegraph.
