Violent crime soars in South Africa with murders at 20-year high | BBC News
As national media fangirls over Andy Burnham’s TikTok persona, we ask what the new prime minister is doing right online.
Is social media now the ultimate test of a politician’s authenticity, and could cosying up to influencers set a dangerous precedent in terms of transparency and accountability for those in positions of power?

Two crew members have been killed after two helicopters collided mid-air in Greece while battling wildfires.
A Danish pilot and a Greek fire service liaison officer lost their lives. A British pilot and another Greek co-ordinator on the second helicopter survived.
Video of the incident some 65 km (42 miles) west of the capital Athens shows one of the two Bell helicopters hitting the rotors of the other, which bursts into flames and crashes in a ravine. The other aircraft made an emergency landing.
Wildfires have broken out in Greece this week, leading to mass evacuations. Other European states, including France and Spain, have also suffered devastating blazes during prolonged heatwaves.
The two leased Bell helicopters collided while taking part in efforts to tackle a large wildfire burning on the Attica-Boeotia border.
Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis expressed his “deepest sorrow” over the accident.

Late at night, police are called about a man behaving strangely with heavy suitcases on a bridge in Bristol.
When officers arrive minutes later, he has vanished – but the suitcases are revealed to contain human remains.
The bridge is closed, a crime scene is erected, and a manhunt begins as investigators discover a twisted tale of sex, lies, and murder.
This video contains some upsetting scenes.

The UK’s prison population today is about 86,500 and there are about 2,400 spare places. Overcrowding has caused chaos across prisons and the courts.
Prime Minister Andy Burnham has now changed the incoming early release scheme for some prisoners in England and Wales, to exclude rapists and some other offenders.
So – what other solutions are there to the increasing pressure facing the system? And can the UK look for ideas from abroad?

President Putin’s order to call up another 300,000 soldiers to fight in Ukraine is being met with widespread protests.
Reports have circulated on social media of people with no military experience being drafted, as well as others who are too old or have disabilities.
Thousands of Russian men have been heading for the country’s borders as they attempt to evade conscription.

Each house in an average middle class suburb has ten foot high walls surrounding their properties, electrified fencing above, motion detectors inside the home and in the garden, steel burglar bars on the windows, panic buttons, a private security patrol on each street, and a private armed security on call. Should there be a home invasion, no one calls the police.

A fundamental problem is that SA's minister of police has no training as a police officer – not even one day's training – and only has a junior school teaching diploma. Further, the police, prison services and judiciary are notoriously corrupt, with few arrests and convictions for murder.

South Africa has a lot of issues. It's remarkable that the government has time to call out Israel on the international stage.

You can thank the US and UK for putting Mandela in power for this. The country was a paradise compared to any country I have visited before Apartheid was abolished.

We were told what would happen if the "natives" took control.
Now, it has come to pass, and South Africa is falling apart. A few more decades, and this is what Europe will look like.
