Counter-terrorism police charged Joshua Kerry with preparing acts of terror against Reform UK leader Nigel Farage; he is also accused of murdering former Conservative minister and Reform UK MEP Ann Widdecombe, who was found dead at her Devon home. The Home Secretary called the charges extremely concerning, expressed sympathies with Farage and his family, and said the case raised serious questions about MPs' security. Kerry is due at Westminster Magistrates on Wednesday, and police have reopened an inquiry into an alleged firebomb attack at Farage's south London home. G7 leaders agreed to release up to 100 million barrels of diesel and crude oil within four months, prioritising diesel, as UK diesel prices hit £2 per litre for the first time and Donald Trump backed down from threatened US export bans; Ed Miliband joined a G7 call chaired by Emmanuel Macron. Buckingham Palace said the King would not directly apologise over Britain's historic connection with slavery on his Caribbean visit, following government advice, though he has previously called slavery an appalling atrocity that forever stains history; a former St Vincent prime minister said talks needed an apology before reparations. Two Iranian men, Salam Ahmadyan and Rahman Salehi, were charged with preparing acts of terror over an alleged homemade bomb plot targeting Manchester's Jewish community before Yom Kippur; the Home Secretary said both arrived by small boats.
Manchester City appealed against judgements finding it guilty of breaking Premier League financial rules, saying the decision had clear material errors of law, principle and fact and was unsafe, and repeating that it had irrefutable evidence of innocence. The club was found guilty of 114 charges, with Tuesday's revelation that it inflated revenue and reduced costs by more than £900 million over nine years; relegation and fines are possible, the England manager said he was considering how some stars could be demoted from the top flight, and the Treasury committee called for HMRC to investigate tax issues. Protests in France that began among secondary school pupils spread nationwide, with the government saying peaceful protests had turned to rioting; hundreds of schools closed and riot police confronted barricades during a presidential election campaign and planned spending cuts. In Madrid, thousands protested outside parliament over soaring rents after parliament rejected government plans; average Spanish rents have almost doubled in ten years, and more protests and a possible general strike were planned. At the Green Party conference, Zack Polanski said a vote for his party could influence Labour and called for a three-year emergency break on prices, but did not mention a controversial motion calling Zionism a form of racism; the party said it would not tolerate anti-Semitism, and the leadership appeared to agree with former leaders that the motion was unhelpful and divisive. Plaid Cymru held its first conference since gaining power in Wales, with First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth seeking more devolution, while critics said his government needed to grip existing powers and voters in Rhyl expressed little faith amid long NHS waiting lists.
The Indian captain of a Dubai-to-Tel Aviv flight, badly injured while fighting off his co-pilot as the plane plunged, spoke for the first time from hospital about making a last push to open the cockpit door and let rescuers save the aircraft; three passengers subdued the blade-wielding co-pilot, and Israeli investigators planned to question him over any wider conspiracy. ITV's This Morning presenter Alison Hammond became unwell during the live programme and was helped off set by Dermot O'Leary; she later said from hospital that she was fine and getting her old ticker checked out.
