The British Museum has been under pressure to return a collection of sculptures that were taken from the Acropolis more than 200 years ago, and Greece has welcomed the return of ancient treasures from that location. Greece's ATHENS — The British Museum has been under pressure to restore a collection of sculptures that were taken from the historic site in Athens more than 200 years ago, and Greece on Friday hailed the return of ancient relics from the Acropolis, advancing the cause. Friday's ceremony saw the return of three sculptural elements from the Vatican Museums that represented a horse and two male heads from the Parthenon temple on the Acropolis. The ceremony was presided over by Culture Minister Lina Mendoni. Efforts like this, according to Mendoni, "show the way, how the Parthenon's fragments might be reconnected, repairing the wounds created by savage hands so many years ago." This brings us to the legitimate and moral demand of the Greek people as a who...

 " Far too many Londoners have now lost faith in policing," writes Baroness Louise Casey in her landmark report on the Metropolitan Police, which was released on Tuesday. The review, which was launched in the aftermath of Sarah Everard's abduction, rape, and murder by a serving Met Police officer as she walked home alone on March 3, 2021, discovered that the capital's police force is inherently and institutionally racist, sexist, and homophobic. It comes after Inspector of Constabulary Matt Parr stated in November that hundreds, if not thousands, of corrupt officers may be serving in England and Wales police forces as a result of inadequate vetting standards. Upday examines some of the most shocking revelations from Baroness Casey's report, ranging from repeated sexual assaults on female colleagues to initiation rituals designed to humiliate junior colleagues.  Racist pranks on ethnic minority officers, with a denial culture   Discriminatory bullying was discovere...

  According to a refugee charity, the cost of detaining and accommodating people under the Government's contentious plans to address Channel crossings could exceed £9 billion in the first three years. According to the Refugee Council, more than 250,000 people, including up to 45,000 children, could have their asylum claims deemed inadmissible under the Illegal Migration Bill during that time. The estimates were developed by the charity's policy experts as part of an impact assessment of the Bill's first three years, assuming it goes into effect on November 7, six months after it was introduced in Parliament. It bases its calculations on the Home Office's ability to deport 10,000 people to Rwanda in each of the three years, detaining people for an average of 28 days and accommodating those who are not detained. The Refugee Council assessment said: "In the first three years of the legislation coming into effect, between 225,347 and 257,101 people will have their asyl...

  Two thieves were sentenced to prison after stealing 59 Ford Fiestas worth over £366,000 in just five months. Kaine Guest-Scott, 22, and Theon Lynch, 21, targeted areas where commuters frequently left their vehicles on their way to work. They used transmitter devices to prevent the alarms on cars parked at train stations and park and rides across the Midlands from going off. The pair then used angle grinders to break steering locks and reprogramme blank keys before driving away. They committed the crime so frequently that they mastered it, with CCTV capturing them stealing one vehicle in just 90 seconds. The 59 stolen Ford Fiestas were taken between June and November of last year and stripped for parts.

  A man who was released from a 241-year prison sentence has described his life since his release. Bobby Bostic, 44, was sentenced to prison at the age of 16 after going on an armed robbery spree with a friend in Missouri, United States. They detained a woman for a short time, but no one was hurt. Despite being told he would die in prison, changes in the law allowed him to be released after 27 years in prison. He has now revealed the strange things he discovered upon his release after not having seen the outside world since 1995. 'It's how friendly they are in comparison to prison,' Bobby explained to BBC News. 'You walk into a grocery store and the cashier says, "Sir, may I assist you?" You get nothing but mean mugs [faces] and harassment in prison...' It surprises him to hear, 'Hey, how you doing?' instead of 'Do not approach me too closely'  'Out here, it's just good things,' Bobby added. People are beaming. Little children a...
