Kneecap’s Liam Og O hAnnaidh, aka Mo Chara, speaks to supporters outside Woolwich Crown Court, London, September 26, 2025

IRISH rappers Kneecap have said that they will “not be silent” ahead of a further legal challenge over a British court’s decision to throw out the terrorism case against Liam Og O hAnnaidh.

Mr O hAnnaidh, aka Mo Chara, was accused of displaying a flag in support of proscribed terrorist organisation Hezbollah at a gig in November 2024, until a technical error in the way he was charged led to the chief magistrate ruling he could not try the case.

The rap trio said in a post on social media on Thursday morning that the British government has issued them with a notice that it intends to appeal against the court’s decision.

Last year, the Crown Prosecution Service said it would be appealing against the decision because “we believe there is an important point of law which needs to be clarified.”

He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel.

Entrepreneur Michelle Mone is admiited to the House of Lords as Baroness Mone of Mayfair, after being made a Tory peer, October 2015

A FORMER Conservative peer under investigation for her alleged role in a £148 million Covid equipment scandal was allowed to continue collecting an estimated £15,000 a week in rent.

A court amended a previous order to freeze £75m of British assets belonging to Baroness Michelle Mone and her husband after one of his companies received £122m in government contracts for unsuitable medical gowns.

Baroness Mone and Doug Barrowman will now be allowed to keep the estimated £15,000-a-week in rent from a £25m mansion in Belgravia, central London, as the inquiry continues.

The National Crime Agency opened an investigation into the Covid-era deal, which supplied 25 million defective surgical gowns to the government, which Mr Barrowman’s firm imported from China.

A court first ordered the couple’s assets to be frozen two years ago, while the NCA looked into the deal with PPE Medpro.

United States bombs Venezuela overnight – Caracas calls for full popular mobilisation to resist feared invasion

 A civilian runs from the sound of explosions in Caracas overnight

THE United States bombed Venezuela overnight, with explosions rocking the capital Caracas and targets in the states of Miranda, Aragua and La Guaira.

The Venezuelan government ordered “all national defence plans to be implemented” and called for the people of the country to mobilise to fend off a “colonial war” aiming at regime change, in co-ordination with the “fascist oligarchy” that has always sought to reverse the Bolivarian revolution. Given the explicit threats of an attack from the US in recent months, Venezuela has distributed arms to popular militias around the country.

The Pentagon and White House have been tight-lipped about the attacks, with the main confirmation simply a Federal Aviation Authority warning to commercial aircraft to steer clear of the Latin American country because of “military activity.” Reports aired by some US broadcasters that US President Donald Trump has ordered a land invasion have not been confirmed.

“The whole ground shook… this is horrible,” Carmen Hidalgo, a 21-year-old office worker, her voice trembling, told the Associated Press. She was walking briskly with two relatives, returning from a birthday party. “We felt like the air was hitting us.”

Mr Trump has built up a huge armada off Venezuela’s coast and carried out a lethal campaign of bombings against boats in the Caribbean, accusing them without evidence of smuggling drugs. Officially the US accuses the government of President Nicolas Maduro of being involved in drug-smuggling too, but in online rants the US leader has revealed his real aim is to restore US corporate control of the country’s oil reserves, the largest proven reserves on Earth. The US boarded and stole two oil tankers carrying Venezuelan crude last month.

A recent National Security Strategy published by the White House called on the United States to reassert the Monroe Doctrine — which calls for US dominance in the western hemisphere and the exclusion of all “non-hemispheric” powers from it.

“The Bolivarian government calls upon all social and political forces of the country to activate mobilisation plans and to repudiate this imperialist attack,” the Venezuelan government said in a statement.

There are reports in the last few minutes that Trump has announced on his truth social that President Maduro and his wife have been captured and removed from Venezuela.

Ali Shamkhani, a senior adviser to Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said on Monday on X that “Iran’s missile and defensive capabilities are neither containable nor in need of permission,” according to the German Press Agency (DPA).

Shamkhani was quoted by DPA as saying: “Any aggression towards Iran would be met with an “immediate harsh response” beyond the imagination of its planners.”

His remarks came in response to a warning from US President Donald Trump to Iran on Monday over rebuilding its nuclear programme. Trump made the comments while hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his Florida residence for extensive talks.

Speaking to reporters at Mar-a-Lago, Trump said: “I’ve been reading that they’re building up weapons and other things, and if they are, we will have to hit them. But we hope it does not happen.”

He added that “the United States could support another major strike on Iran were it to resume rebuilding its ballistic missile or nuclear weapons programmes.”

Trump’s warning followed his claim that Iran’s nuclear capabilities had been “completely and entirely destroyed” by US strikes on key nuclear enrichment sites in June.

Israel to revoke permits of international aid groups operating in West Bank, Gaza

Israeli occupation authorities have notified more than ten international humanitarian organisations that their permits to operate in the occupied West Bank and the Gaza Strip will be revoked, according to local reports.

A correspondent said the organisations affected include Doctors Without Borders and other international aid groups that are among the most active in providing humanitarian assistance in Gaza.

According to the Israeli notice, the permits will be withdrawn from 1 January 2026, and the organisations have been instructed to cease all operations by 1 March 2026.

Israeli authorities said the decision was taken because the organisations allegedly failed to complete newly required registration procedures for humanitarian work.

However, a source within one of the affected organisations said the dispute stems from an Israeli requirement that aid groups submit lists of Palestinian employees for so-called “security vetting”. The source said some organisations complied with the demand, while others refused.

Israeli authorities have claimed that some staff members working for the organisations are involved in what they described as “terrorist activity”. The source rejected the accusations, saying they are being used as a pretext to obstruct and restrict humanitarian work.

The decision is expected to result in the suspension of humanitarian operations by the affected organisations, the dismissal of hundreds of employees, and a further weakening of efforts to address the catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.

Aid groups have repeatedly warned that any reduction in humanitarian presence would have severe consequences for civilians in Gaza, where basic services and lifesaving assistance already face extreme strain.
