South Korean prosecutors seek drone chief's arrest over operation in North
SEOUL, July 20 (Reuters) - South Korean prosecutors said on Sunday they had sought court approval to detain the head of a military drone unit as part of an investigation into former President Yoon Suk Yeol and drone operations in neighbouring North Korea. Prosecutors stepped up a probe into the drone operation after indicting the jailed ex-President Yoon on Saturday on additional charges for his short-lived declaration of martial law in December. They had summoned the unit's chief, Kim Yong-dae, on Thursday regarding accusations that Yoon ordered a covert drone operation into the North last year to inflame tension between the neighbours to justify his martial law decree. Yoon has denied the accusations. Kim told reporters the incident was part of a "clandestine military operation" in response to trash balloons sent from the North and not intended to provoke the neighbouring nation. In October, North Korea said the South had sent drones to scatter anti-North Korea leaflets over Pyongyang, and published photos of the remains of a crashed South Korean military drone. South Korea at the time declined to disclose whether it had sent the drones. In a statement on Sunday, the prosecution office said it had sought an arrest warrant for Kim. Media said a court hearing is planned for Monday afternoon to review the request for a warrant. He was arrested on Friday without a court warrant, media said. Prosecutors and police are permitted to make an "emergency arrest" if they have a strong belief someone is guilty of a serious crime and may flee or destroy evidence.

Sergio Garcia SNAPS his driver in two by angrily smashing it into the ground after wayward shot at The Open
SERGIO Garcia stunned golf fans when he SNAPPED his driver in two by smashing it into the ground. The hot-headed Spaniard hooked a wayward drive into the rough at the par-5 second, and pounded the club into the grass in frustration. The shaft buckled and then snapped, as Garcia let rip. Somehow he still managed to make a par. However he has to play the rest of his round without a driver. The rules of golf mean he could have asked for a replacement to be brought out from the clubhouse if the damage had been accidental. However because he deliberately broke the driver in a temper tantrum, former Ryder Cup star Garcia will have to play the rest of the final round with one fewer club in his bag. Golf fans who saw the incident were outraged. One X user wrote: "Should be kicked off the course. Damaged the tee as well.' Another branded him a 'child', adding: 'For one bad shot it could now cost him another 14… Grow up man.' Others were less kind. One disgruntled fan wrote: "Sergio Garcia really is a k***head." Another blasted: " Sergio Garcia is a horrible little p****." Former Masters champion Garcia, 45, has a history of blowing his lid on the course. 2 At The Open in 2017 he injured his shoulder after slamming his club into a bush. And he was forced to use a three-iron for all his putts at the Dell Technologies Championship after breaking his putter in anger on a sprinkler head also in 2017.

Police to receive new powers to help prevent violent attacks
Home Secretary Yvette Cooper confirmed new powers for police and courts to deal with suspects planning mass killings. The new tools aim to close a legal gap between terror suspects, who face life imprisonment for planning attacks, and non-ideological individuals planning similar mass atrocities. Police will be empowered to apprehend suspects based on preparatory steps, such as research, even without an ideological link, mirroring existing anti- terrorism legislation. Cooper stated that mass attacks, regardless of ideological motivation, can cause devastation comparable to terrorism and should be treated with similar seriousness. The legislation could have applied to cases like the Southport attacker, Axel Rudakubana, who murdered three girls and received a life sentence.
