Italian firm Leonardo's supplies defence and security gear to the Ministry of Defence, including military technology which has been sent to Israel. Riddell, Allegra Fitzherbert, 34, from London, and Naomi Stubbs-Gorman, 31, from Glasgow, are accused of allegedly committing malicious mischief aggravated by having a terrorist connection. The comedian is also facing a charge of dangerous driving aggravated by reason of having a terrorist connection under the Road Traffic Act 1988 Section 2. All three accused made no plea and the case was committed for further examination. Riddell and Fitzherbert were released on bail and no date has yet been set down for their next court appearance. But Stubbs-Gorman will have to return to court on Wednesday after her bail application was continued for 24 hours. Around 100 protestors and members of Edinburgh Action for Palestine were present outside the city centre court building to show support for the three accused. Riddell's appearances include ITV's Jonathan Ross Comedy Club, BBC Comedy Underground and BBC Queen of the New Year as well as being a regular panellist on BBC Breaking the News. She has also provided tour support for stand-ups Ardal O'Hanlon and Fern Brady.

On Saturday, two men, aged 78 and 60, were arrested during a protest, where the two allegedly showed support for a proscribed organisation. The three were arrested in connection with the Terrorism Act 2000. Police Scotland says a report will be submitted to the Procurator Fiscal.

The Viral Shorts Trend Taking Over Instagram And IRL
On the cusp of jorts, bermudas, and every tailored short in between, a quieter trend is rising: the return of the white culotte short. Breezy, wide-legged, and cut just below the knee, they're giving refined throwback energy and fashion people are taking note. Gwyneth Paltrow wore a crisp pair on holiday recently, styling them exactly how they're meant to be worn: like you're on the Italian riviera, Pinot Grigio in hand. It makes sense. Fashion is deep in its recycle era. Think: T-bar sandals, printed trousers, even pedal pushers (yes, really). Culottes sit perfectly in that wave of comebacks, offering the nostalgia we love with a 2025 refresh. The new wave is sleeker and more structured - fitted linen, crisp cotton, and even denim versions that feel less 'school uniform,' more 'quiet luxury'. There's something satisfyingly grown-up about them. They float in that space between shorts and a skirt, making them an easy go-to when it's too hot for trousers but you want something a little more elevated than cut-offs. And they're flattering too. Styling is simple: keep it clean and cool. Try a pair with ballet pumps and a white tee or lean into Euro summer energy with leather slides and a ribbed tank. Add a basket bag, and you're practically on holiday, even if you're just heading to brunch or the office. You'll spot them at garden parties, city lunches, and airport lounges alike. And if you're not wearing them already, you soon will be. Scroll down to shop the best white culottes of the season. 1. H&M, Tailored Bermuda Shorts 2. Nobodys Child, White Linen-blend Bermuda Shorts 3. Hush, Linen Blend Lya Bermuda Shorts 4. Brora, The Shorts 5.

Pro-Palestinian protest prompts scuffle onstage at London's Royal Opera House
A performer holding a Palestinian flag touched off a brief scuffle on stage at the Royal Opera House in London as cast members were taking their bows following the season's final performance of 'Il Trovatore.' Images posted on social media show what appears to be a member of the chorus holding the unfurled flag in front of his chest while the lead singers bask in the audience's applause on Saturday night. After a few moments, someone backstage tries to grab the flag, but the performer holds onto it and snaps back into place. 'The display of the flag was an unauthorized action by the artist,' the opera company said in a statement on Sunday. 'It was not approved by the Royal Ballet and Opera and is a wholly inappropriate act.' The opera company declined to comment when asked whether the performer would face any disciplinary action. 'Il Trovatore,' which translates as 'The Troubadour,' is an 1853 opera by the Italian composer Giuseppe Verdi. Director Adele Thomas' production reinterprets the story of desire and an all-consuming curse, the opera said.
