In a speech to supporters last night, Mamdani said, “Tonight, we made history.” He added: “I will be the mayor for every New Yorker, whether you voted for me, for Governor Cuomo, or felt too disillusioned by a long, broken political system to vote at all.”

Andrew Cuomo previously resigned from office in 2021 after sexual harassment allegations. He joined Netanyahu's legal team last year to defend Netanyahu against ICC’s war crime claims. His backers included Bill Clinton, the real estate lobby, and at least $25 million in corporate donations.

Cuomo conceded last night after results showed Mamdani with a clear lead. Mamdani ran a campaign centred on taxing the wealthy and providing all New Yorkers with free public buses, universal childcare, freezing rent and city-run grocery stores.

Zohran Mamdani has won the New York City mayoral primary race, overtaking the disgraced former governor Andrew Cuomo. Mamdani, the 33-year-old democratic socialist, will likely become the city’s mayor in November’s election, as the primary race tends to determine the outcome of that election.

To date, the UK government continues to supply weapons licences and support to Israel in its genocidal assault on Palestinians. Just 10% of arms licences were suspended last year, and the UK has even admitted to providing military training to Israeli forces earlier this month.

The draconian move to ban Palestine Action comes after two UK military planes were damaged in a protest last week.

1161

Home secretary Yvette Cooper said in a statement to parliament today that the draft proscription order will be laid out on 30 June, and would become law after following the parliamentary process.

The UK government has confirmed it will ban Palestine Action under anti-terrorism laws, making it a criminal offence to belong to or support the direct action group.

According to Declassified, the Labour government had until now refused to answer questions on UK involvement in training Israeli military personnel. It is now confirmed that Britain is actively involved in training a foreign military currently engaged in genocide.

12113

The information was made public in response to a question by Labour MP Rachael Maskell, who asked: "When the last time was that a member of the IDF was trained by the UK armed forces."

1113

Parliamentary under-secretary of state for the armed forces Luke Pollard disclosed on 11 June that the UK is providing training for “a limited number” of Israeli military members as part of “routine defence engagement with Israel”.

“It is about seeking prosecutions, it is about seeking compensation, but it’s also about recognition that the state has failed to protect its own citizens.” The People’s Tribunal on Police Killings is an initiative of the United Families & Friends Campaign, Migrant Media and 4WardEver UK.

052

Activist and filmmaker Ken Fero, who is helping to lead the action, said via the Guardian: “There are many, many families all over the UK, and there have been for five decades, who suffer in silence. We have to do something radical that involves everybody. And that’s the idea of a class action.”

161

According to the event organisers, there have been 3,000 deaths involving the police in the UK over the past 50 years, while only four police officers have been convicted over a killing.

120

The evidence will form the basis of the first-ever legal action directed at police officers, chiefs and government departments that were involved in the deaths.

110

The plan was announced at the People’s Tribunal on Police Killings, a two-day event where bereaved families presented evidence to international experts detailing how their relatives died and the long-term impact their deaths had on them.

More than 100 relatives of people who have died after contact with the police since 1971 have joined plans for a class action lawsuit seeking compensation and justice.

Ten British nationals are facing allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity while fighting with the Israeli military in Gaza. On Monday 7 April, a team of legal experts delivered a landmark report to the Metropolitan Police’s War Crimes Team. novaramedia.com/2025/04/07/t...

ICC spokesman Fadi El-Abdullah told the BBC: "The Court recalls that Hungary remains under a duty to cooperate with the ICC." Hungarian authorities are obliged to arrest Netanyahu and hand him over to the court in the Hague, although member states do not always choose to enforce ICC warrants.

1151

The ICC has 125 member states and Hungary will be the first EU country to pull out, despite being a founding member of the court.

1140

During a joint press conference, far-right Hungarian prime minister Viktor Orbán told Neyantahu Israel is an “anchor in the Middle East”, and that the ICC has become a “political court.” Netanyahu celebrated the news, describing Orbán's "bold and principled" decision to leave the "corrupt" body.

Hungary has announced it is leaving the International Criminal Court, just hours after Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu arrived for a state visit, in full defiance of the ICC arrest warrant.

Gorski warned that the cases are a test run for broader repression against immigrants and activists in Germany, not just about four protesters: “They’re being used as guinea pigs.”

062

“These people’s criminal records are clean,” Gorski said. Yet the Berlin government appears to be constructing a narrative of “imminent danger” to sidestep due process.

1111

In an unprecedented move, said Gorski, three of the four deportation orders cite Germany’s national pledge to defend Israel – the country’s Staatsräson, German for reason of state – as justification.

131

All four are accused, without evidence, of supporting Hamas, and of shouting antisemitic slogans, though none are specified by the authorities.

Some of the allegations include calling a police officer “fascist”, and chanting slogans like “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” and “Free Palestine”.

“What we’re seeing are the harshest possible measures available, based on accusations that are extremely vague and in part completely unfounded,” said Alexander Gorski, a lawyer representing two of the protesters.

Under German migration law, a criminal conviction isn’t necessary to issue a deportation order, but it must be proportional, meaning that factors like how deep-rooted someone’s family ties or business will be relevant.

Cooper Longbottom, Kasia Wlaszczyk, Shane O’Brien, and Roberta Murray, are citizens of, respectively, the US, Poland, and in the latter two cases Ireland.
