Liverpool parade driver, 53, accused of deliberately driving car into crowd of football fans has trial date set
The man accused of deliberately driving a car into a crowd of Liverpool football fans has had his trial date set. Paul Doyle, 53, appeared in court today charged with seven offences including dangerous driving and causing grievous bodily harm with intent. The father-of-three is said to have used his car 'deliberately as a weapon' to strike people walking back from a football parade in Liverpool city centre on May 26. Doyle faces charges relating to six victims, including two children aged 11 and 17, after a total of 109 people were injured. He is due to stand trial at Liverpool Crown Court on November 24 with the hearing estimated to last four weeks, the BBC has reported. Doyle appeared in court today via video link from prison for a case management hearing. The former royal marine spoke only to confirm his name and that he could hear what was being said. He has not yet entered a plea for any of the charges. During a previous hearing at Liverpool Magistrates Court, Doyle shook his head as the seven charges were read out. Judge Healey said the investigation was in the 'very early stages,' adding: 'There is a real prospect of further charges and extensive inquiries need to be concluded. 'I am satisfied this is a truly exceptional case. It shocked and outraged the people of Liverpool and beyond.' Around 50 people were taken to hospital following the incident on the evening of May 26. Distressing footage posted online shows supporters banging on the car's windows before it accelerated and hit fans at speed, causing several to be catapulted off the bonnet. Police quickly ruled out terrorism as a motive and went public with some details of the suspect. Detective Superintendent Rachel Wilson previously said: 'This is a complex and constantly evolving investigation and we are still working through and assessing those reporting being injured and our enquiries remain ongoing. 'I would continue to appeal for anyone who has information and is yet to come forward to please get in touch as a matter of urgency.' She added: 'As a person has now been charged in connection with this incident, I would like to remind people not to speculate or share information or footage which could in any way jeopardise the case. 'We understand that emotions are still running high, and people are seeking answers, but it is vital that we allow the matter to go through the judicial process.'

Teen, 15, on trial over ISIS suicide plot to bomb Taylor Swift concert causing UK shows to be axed
A TEEN has gone on trial over an IS suicide plot to bomb a Taylor Swift concert that led to three of the pop star's shows being axed and tighter security at her UK dates. The lad, 15, named as Mohammad A, is accused of translating bomb instructions from Arabic and sending them to the alleged mastermind. 2 2 Austrian Beran A, 19, allegedly planned a suicide blast at an Eras tour gig in Vienna last August. German-educated Syrian Mohammad A was nicked on the day the gigs were axed after his name was found in Beran A's contacts, it was said. Shake it Off singer Taylor later said she felt a 'tremendous amount of guilt' and 'new sense of fear' over threats faced by her fans. Berlin's Superior Court of Justice agreed to a trial behind closed doors. Berlin's Superior Court of Justice agreed with his defence lawyers' request for a private trial due to his age and 'heated press coverage' of the case. Prosecutors say the teen started following Islamic State ideology in 2024 - and pledged loyalty to the terror group in a text. They have also said the main suspect in Austria, Beran A, was still under investigation. After the alleged plot emerged, Home Secretary Yvette Cooper and London Mayor Sadiq Khan were accused of pressing police into giving Taylor, 35, a blue-light escort for her gigs in the capital. The London Mayor was among Labour figures who bagged freebies to her sell-out shows which took place amid heightened security.

Kite surfer dead after 'freak accident' involving moored yacht off the Dorset coast
A kite surfer has died following a 'freak accident' where he was reportedly blown out of the water in high winds and thrown into the side of a moored yacht. The man, believed to be in his 70s, was recovered from the water by a harbour patrol boat and taken to the harbour jetty where he was pronounced dead at the scene this afternoon. Photos taken in the aftermath of the tragic event appear to show the tangled kite around the mast of a boat - with local reports suggesting the victim was blown into its side. Police, lifeboats, coastguard and a search and rescue helicopter responded to the incident at 1.35pm. Police confirmed a second man was left in the care of the ambulance service. Winds reached 35mph this afternoon at the harbour - a popular spot for kite and windsurfers. Portland and neighbouring Weymouth hosted the sailing and windsurfing competitions at the London 2012 Olympics. A Weymouth Lifeboat spokesman said: 'Weymouth inshore lifeboat was tasked by HM Coastguard and launched at approximately 1.35pm to assist with an incident in Portland Harbour.

'The ILB crew arrived on scene to find the kite surfer being recovered from the water by the Portland harbour patrol boat. 'The casualty was transferred to Portland harbour jetty where first aid was administered by the harbour staff and RNLI ILB crew. 'The Emergency Response doctor and local ambulance crew also attended the scene. 'Very sadly the casualty was declared dead by a doctor on scene. 'This is a very tragic incident, and our thoughts go out to the family and friends.' A Dorset Police spokesman said: 'We received a report at 1.52pm on Tuesday 15 July 2025 raising concern for the welfare of two men in the water in the area of Portland Harbour. 'Emergency services attended and very sadly one of the men, aged in his 70s, was pronounced dead at the scene. 'His death is not being treated as suspicious and his family has been informed. 'Our thoughts are with the man's family and friends at this very difficult time. 'The second person has been left in the care of the ambulance service.'
