A great grandmother has been awarded nearly £25,000 for an unfair dismissal after bosses fed up with her taking time off work to care for a 'naughty' child told her to give him a 'good slap'. Stephanie Lee-Shields resigned from Exquisite Displays in Leicester after working there for almost 20 years, following a heated argument where it was suggested she get physical with the four year old to stop her having to miss work. An employment tribunal heard that she became the carer of a four year old child, referred to only as X, in May 2021 which placed 'great strain' on her and meant she was under 'a lot of stress, pressure and anxiety' as she was 'juggling a lot of things' including day to day care for the child. Employment Judge Robert Clark agreed there had been 'aggressive criticism' of Mrs Lee-Shields, and 'frustration' at her caring commitments before awarding her £24,725 in compensation.

Businesses that manufacture nuclear warheads, hypersonic missiles, espionage jets, spy satellites, and artificial intelligence for the People's Liberation Army have all earned money for Oxford and Cambridge. The £50.7 million figure, which was divided up for educational programs and other unidentified reasons, accounts for a fifth of the £156 million received by UK universities from Chinese sources since 2017. The US has banned several of the Chinese companies, including manufacturing companies, research institutes, and universities, as a result of a database of Chinese military groups. "This yet again shows that we must urgently reassess our relationship with China," Tory MP Bob Seely said. It raises so many moral and security concerns that a potentially adversarial state is using UK universities as its brain bank.'

Danelo Cavalcante, an escaped prisoner, planned to drive to Canada in a robbed vehicle before being apprehended by a hero K-9 named Yoda after two weeks on the run for two weeks, according to a US Marshall. According to supervisory Deputy US Marshall Robert Clark, Cavalcante, 34, survived for two weeks on the run, eating watermelon he stole from a farm, drinking water from a canal, and burying his feces so police don't find it. The Brazilian native, who was in the country illegally, was released from the Chester County Prison, 30 miles west of Philadelphia, by crab-walking up a wall just days after being found guilty of 33-year-old Deborah Brando's murder in 2021.

Danelo Cavalcante, 34, was discovered to have escaped from the Chester County Prison in Pocopson Township, Pennsylvania, around 8:30 a.m. on Thursday. Since he appeared to be on residential surveillance cameras at around 1:43 a.m. on Route 52 in Pocopson at 1:43 a.m. Saturday morning, police suspect they are closing in on him. Cavalcante was strolling through a wooded neighborhood before he resurfaced from behind a small tree. He seems to have a backpack and something else in his right hand.

The US Army officially changed the base's name to honor General Richard Edward Cavazos, a four-star general who served in both the Korean and Vietnam wars. In a press release, Lt. General Sean Bernabe, III, said, 'We are proud to rename Fort Hood as Fort Cavazos in honor of an outstanding American hero, a combat veteran of the Korea and Vietnam wars, and the first Hispanic to reach the rank of four-star general in our Army.'

One nightmare after another one that saw the 920ft ocean giant spend more time in port than at sea, the £3.2 billion warship, the country's biggest ever built, has been plagued by a single tragedy. In her first year of service, she was flooded twice, resulting in millions of pounds of damage. And when she crashed out of her home city of Portsmouth, Hampshire, she was left crippled. Since then, she has been languishing in Rosyth, Scotland, where she was built, undergoing repairs that have increased in cost from £20 million to an eye-watering £25 million. The beleaguered 65,000-tonne ship would reach her latest dismal milestone on Monday, notching up a year of her life at port in comparison to only 267 days at sea.

On Saturday night, US Marshals in Philadelphia arrested an 18-year-old man in connection with the assassination of a Temple University police officer. Miles Pfeffer, 18, was arrested on Sunday after being accused of shooting Chris Fitzgerald, 31, several times, including in the head, before going through his pockets and attempting to take his gun, according to the Philadelphia District Attorney's Office. According to US Marshalls, he was placed in Fitzgerald's handcuffs about 7 a.m. after the shooting as part of a tradition to honor fallen police officers.

After cops arrested Johniel Barrett, 19, on a Birmingham road made popular by the film Benefits Street, he was wrestled to the ground and discovered with a loaded revolver. On February 1 last year, a judge heard he had been seen by officers riding in a black Volkswagen Polo near City Hospital in the Winson Green neighborhood of the city. After running checks on police equipment and the driver came to a halt, the cops, who were in an unmarked vehicle, light their blue lights. Barrett was able to get out of the vehicle before police chased him on foot and tackled him to the ground on James Turner Street. When asked, 'is it loaded,' Barrett replied, 'yes.' It was later discovered to be a Webley Mark VI revolver fitted with a.44 Smith and Wesson cartridge.

Callum Meah, 28, Robert Clark, 32, and Richard Davis, 36, were arrested after their BMW vehicle was stopped in Muirfield Gardens, Kings Norton, on May 13, last year.

Carl Brookes, 38, Jordan Feeney, 28, and Robert Clark, 32, all from Northfield, as well as Callum Meah, 26, of Stourbridge, and Richard Davis, 36, of Rednal, were arrested after their BMW car was blocked in Muirfield Gardens, Kings Norton, on May 13, last year. Officers recovered a handgun, bullets, knives, and a sledgehammer from the gang. According to the NCA, the pistol was loaded. Clark had a rolled up balaclava on his head and a knife in his inside pocket. Following being arrested, all five were charged with unlawful firearms ownership, unlawful ammunition ownership, carrying a gun with the intention of ending anger life, and possession of a weapon with the intention of inducing fear of violence. On Thursday, all five men pleaded guilty and were sentenced to prison terms ranging from five to seven years in Birmingham Crown Court.

The government has already invested £4 billion in the Ajax armoured vehicle program, but no one of the 589-strong fleet has been delivered yet. After a string of humiliating mistakes that resulted in the 40-tonne tanks vibrating so violently that they left hundreds of soldiers needing urgent hearing tests, Ajax ground came to a halt. Speculation that the costly defence program was on the verge of being scrapped had risen this week, amid Westminster's political turmoil. However, defence procurement minister Alec Shelbrooke snapped the dead silence and declared that Ajax's trials had finally begun after months of limbo.

Exclusive by Tom Cotterill: HMS Prince of Wales, the country's newest aircraft carrier, has spent more than two years at ports. Since joining the navy in December 2019, the sophisticated £3.2 billion ship has been plagued by technological gremlins. After picking up Prince of Wales' flight to America, she died shortly after leaving Portsmouth in August with her sister ship, HMS Queen Elizabeth. Now it's been revealed that since being commissioned into the Royal Navy in December 2019, Prince of Wales has spent more than two years docked and just 267 days at sea.

On the Ajax aircraft, Whitehall has already invested at least £3.2 billion, the same price of one of the Royal Navy's large new Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carriers. The agreement was signed in 2014 for 589 vehicles, but setbacks delayed the project, with defence Minister Alec Shelbrooke (top-right inset) admitting that the MoD could not specify when it would be completed or if it would be complete.
