A 53-year-old white British man plowed a car into a crowd of Liverpool FC England fans during the Premier League victory parade on Monday, injuring 27 people, including two seriously. The incident is not being treated as terrorism, according to Merseyside Police.

The car began ramming people about 3 meters away from a witness, Harry Rashid, who described the driver as moving deliberately and continuing to plow through the crowd.

Sonny Singh, a witness, saw an injured teenager and dozens of people running and screaming after the collision. Matt Cole, a BBC reporter, witnessed the car not stopping and narrowly missing his family.

Twenty-seven people were taken to hospital, including two with serious injuries, one of whom is a child. Another 20 people were treated at the scene for minor injuries, with four children among them. Four people, including one child, were trapped under the car and had to be freed by emergency services. Four children are among the injured.

The North West Ambulance Service and Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service worked together to treat the injured and free those trapped under the vehicle. Chief Fire Officer Nick Searle of Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service described the scene and the efforts to lift the car and rescue the trapped individuals.

Merseyside Police Assistant Chief Constable Jenny Sims confirmed at a press conference that the incident is not being treated as terrorism. The 53-year-old man was arrested at the scene and is believed to be the driver of the vehicle.

The police are conducting extensive enquiries to establish the circumstances leading up to the collision and have stated that it is an isolated incident. The public has been urged not to share distressing footage from the incident online and to report any information directly to the police.

Liverpool FC has offered its full support to the emergency services. Liam Robinson from Liverpool City Council paid tribute to the NHS staff and emergency services and asked people not to share footage on social media.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer expressed his shock and praised the emergency services for their swift response. He said, "The scenes in Liverpool are appalling. Everyone, especially children, should be able to celebrate their heroes without this horror. The city has a long and proud history of coming together through difficult times. Liverpool stands together and the whole country stands with Liverpool" 

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer described the scenes as "appalling" and thanked the emergency services for their swift response.

U.S. Military Airstrike In Southern Caribbean Targets Vessel Allegedly Operated By Venezuelan Tren de Aragua Gang

The U.S. military on Tuesday, conducted a precision strike in the southern Caribbean against a vessel that had departed from Venezuela and was allegedly operated by the Tren de Aragua gang, a transnational criminal organization designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization by the U.S. government.

President Donald Trump announced the operation on Truth Social, stating that 11 individuals, whom he referred to as "narcoterrorists" or "terrorists," were killed in the strike while the boat was transporting illegal narcotics in international waters. The strike was described as a "kinetic" operation carried out in the U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) area of responsibility.

The U.S. military confirmed a "precision strike" against the vessel. Trump shared a 29-second video clip on Truth Social showing a small, multi-engine speedboat traveling at sea before a bright flash and flames engulfed it. The video is largely in black and white, and Venezuela's Communications Minister Freddy Ñáñez falsely suggested it was artificially generated.

No U.S. military personnel were injured in the operation Secretary of State Marco Rubio confirmed the "lethal strike" on X stating it targeted a drug vessel operated by a designated narco-terrorist organization.

The Tren de Aragua gang originated over a decade ago within the notoriously violent prison system of Venezuela's Aragua state. It has since expanded its operations across Latin America, including to Chile, Colombia, and the United States, where it is involved in drug smuggling, kidnapping, extortion, sex trafficking, and acts of extreme violence such as beheadings.

The Biden administration designated it a transnational crime organization in 2024. President Trump, upon returning to office, escalated the designation, formally declaring Tren de Aragua a "Foreign Terrorist Organization" in February 2025, a move that is unusual for a criminal gang.

The strike on the vessel occurred amid a significant U.S. military deployment in the southern Caribbean. In recent weeks, the U.S. has sent at least seven warships, including the nuclear-powered submarine USS Virginia, and over 4,500 Marines and sailors to the region.

This build-up, which includes Aegis guided-missile destroyers like the USS Gravely and USS Jason Dunham, is part of the Trump administration's broader strategy to combat drug trafficking from Latin America. The administration has also increased surveillance flights with P-8 spy planes over international waters.

The deployment has been met with strong condemnation from Venezuela, with President Nicolás Maduro calling it an "extravagant, unjustifiable, immoral and absolutely criminal and bloody threat" and vowing to "declare a republic in arms" if attacked. Maduro has ordered troops to the border with Colombia and urged civilians to join militias in response.

The strike represents a dramatic escalation in the U.S. approach to drug cartels, signaling a willingness to use military force in the Americas.

The U.S. has also offered a $50 million reward for information leading to Maduro's arrest on drug-trafficking charges. Despite the military action, the administration has not signaled plans for a land invasion of Venezuela.

ISS Orbital Altitude Reboost Maneuver By SpaceX Dragon Cargo Spacecraft

SpaceX's Dragon cargo spacecraft (C211) on Wednesday Sept. 3 at about 1815 UTC, successfully completed its first test burn to demonstrate a new capability to help maintain the International Space Station's (ISS) orbital altitude.

This initial maneuver, lasting five minutes and three seconds, used two Draco engines located in the Dragon's trunk to raise the station's orbit by approximately one mile at its lowest point, positioning it in a 420 x 412-kilometer orbit.

The boost kit is expected to provide about a quarter of the propulsion needed annually to maintain the ISS's 418-kilometer-high orbit.

The new capability is enabled by an add-on "boost kit" installed in the Dragon's open-to-space aft trunk section.

This kit includes two Draco engines, six propellant tanks, and a helium pressurization system, forming an independent propellant system separate from the spacecraft's main systems. This hardware allows the Dragon to perform reboosts, a task traditionally handled by Russia's Progress vehicles.

This capability, introduced on the SpaceX CRS-33 mission, is part of NASA's strategy to reduce reliance on Russian vehicles and build fuel reserves for the station's eventual controlled deorbit, a process that will be managed by a future SpaceX-built deorbit vehicle. The Dragon's ability to perform these burns is a significant step towards the station's long-term operations and safe retirement.

This test marks the beginning of a series of planned burns throughout the fall of 2025 to sustain the station's altitude.

Comedian Graham Linehan Arrested In UK Over Critical Transgender Posts On X

Comedy writer Graham Linehan was arrested at Heathrow Airport on Monday, upon his arrival from Arizona, U.S., by five armed police officers on ridiculous suspicion of 'inciting violence' related to three posts he made on X in April 2025.

The posts that prompted his detention included one from April 20 stating: "If a trans-identified male is in a female-only space, he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls."

Another post from April 19 showed an image of a trans rally with the caption: "A photo you can smell."

He subsequently wrote: "I hate them. Misogynists and homophobes. Fuck em."

The 57-year-old was taken to a police station, questioned about the posts, and subsequently hospitalized due to a severe spike in blood pressure, which he described as "stroke territory," before being released on bail with a condition prohibiting him from posting on X until a further interview in October.

The Metropolitan Police confirmed the arrest and stated that officers became concerned for his health, resulting in the hospital visit, but claimed his condition was neither life-threatening nor life-changing. The arrest was carried out by armed officers from the MPS Aviation Unit.

Linehan described being met by five armed officers immediately after disembarking from his American Airlines flight, escorted to a private area, and informed of his arrest. He was placed in a cell and questioned about the tweets, during which his blood pressure reportedly reached over 200, leading to his transfer to the emergency department at a hospital for observation.

The arrest comes days before Linehan is scheduled to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on September 4, 2025, facing two charges: one of harassing transgender activist Sophia Brooks on social media and another of damaging her mobile phone during an October incident. He has denied these charges.

Linehan, is the Irish comedy writer best known for creating the sitcoms Father TedThe IT Crowd, and Black Books. He has become a prominent and outspoken critic of transgender rights movements since around 2018.

The comedian's arrest has sparked significant political and public reaction, with UK opposition politicians, including Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick and Labour backbencher Jonathan Hinder, criticizing the use of five armed officers for an arrest over social media posts, calling it a "ridiculous" waste of police time. Author JK Rowling also condemned the arrest, calling it "totalitarianism" and "deplorable."

Critics on social media slammed UK government for descending into tyranny, especially since the enactment of Britain's controversial Online Safety Act.
