UK accuses China of interfering in its democracy – BBC News
Rishi Sunak has said he “will not accept” Chinese interference in the UK’s democracy, after it emerged a parliamentary researcher was arrested amid accusations he spied for China.
In a statement to MPs, the PM said he told Chinese Premier Li Qiang at the recent G20 summit that any attempted spying “will never be tolerated”.
The Met Police confirmed on Saturday that two men were arrested under the Official Secrets Act in March.
The researcher denies the allegations.

The former leader of the Democratic Unionist Party, Jeffrey Donaldson, has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for a series of child sex offences, including rape.
Donaldson was convicted in June of 18 offences, which he committed against two women when they were children, between 1985 and 2008.
Reading victim statements, the sentencing judge said one woman grew up feeling ashamed, while the other said: “every day I pray God will let me die”.

Adam is joined by Sarah Smith, Americast host, and Shashank Joshi, Washington bureau chief at The Economist, to discuss what we’ve learned from Zelensky’s interview. Plus, what is going on with intelligence sharing between the US and Ukraine? And why is Starlink so important to the Ukrainian battlefield?
And, Keith Brown, Depute Leader of the SNP, is in Aberdeen to discuss the party conference and the SNP’s focus on securing another independence referendum, plus whether Andy Burnham travelling to Scotland during conference is a distraction.

From shadowboxing Parisians to chihuahuas fronting rap videos, the acceleration in generative AI capability is now impossible to miss on our feeds.
This week, Matt and Marianna explain how new software allows users to ‘reskin’ video content to make anyone say or do literally anything they like.
They discuss the resulting shift from realism to absurdism online, the existential threat to any type of IP ownership, and why independent creators inevitably suffer the most.

Several people have been killed or injured as a result of a large fire near a Canadian military base in Alberta, the nation’s defence minister has said.
David McGuinty did not confirm the cause or the number of casualties, describing the situation as “very, very active and delicate”. The Canadian military and local authorities were managing the fire, he said.

There are no limits to political models that can exist . Even America democracy is not the same as UK democracy. So, it's meaningless to dictate what democracy is except when one is narrow minded.
China is a Democracy in the sense that a super majority of China population Strongly support their 1-party state and ACCEPT such a political model. Democracy is based on Majority DECISION. The majority in China Accept CCP strongly.
Why must democracy comprise the typical voting process? Democracy is about Majority Acceptance.
We can redefine democracy also. Language allows for ambiguity. I can also say China people Voted CCP with their hearts.
