Videos verified by The New York Times show Alex Jeffrey Pretti, the man federal agents shot and killed in Minneapolis on Saturday, was holding a phone, not a gun, when the agents took him to the ground and shot him. In total, at least 10 shots appear to have been fired within five seconds.

Federal agents had barred state investigators from the scene of Saturday’s shooting in Minneapolis, the head of the Minnesota Bureau of Criminal Apprehension said, despite the agency taking the rare step of obtaining a search warrant. “We’re in uncharted territory here,” he said. Follow updates.

What is happening on the streets of Minneapolis is a test. The administration is testing the limits of its power and the strength of the resistance it encounters. The intention is to provoke street violence in order for Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act. Carole Cadwalladr

I'm old enough to remember the Tories/Reform, the instigators of Brexit, calling the UK-US bond "Indestructible" & built on shared values while describing the EU as undemocratic & a threat to UK sovereignty There's enough egg on their faces to make the world's biggest omelette.

There's no comparison between this government and what went before and what might come again. Mistakes? There'll be some. Nobody sensible will claim that governing is easy, not least when there is a 14-year backlog of neglect. But we've embarked on a renewed Britain. I wish PM Starmer well in 2026.
