Australia police charge man over alleged arson on Melbourne synagogue
SYDNEY, July 6 (Reuters) - Australian police have charged a man in connection with an alleged arson attack on a Melbourne synagogue with worshippers in the building, the latest in a series of incidents targeting the nation's Jewish community. There were no injuries to the 20 people inside the East Melbourne Synagogue, who fled from the fire on Friday night. Firefighters extinguished the blaze in the capital of Victoria state. Australia has experienced several antisemitic incidents since the start of the Israel-Gaza war in October 2023. Counterterrorism detectives late on Saturday arrested the 34-year-old resident of Sydney, capital of neighbouring New South Wales, charging him with offences including criminal damage by fire, police said. "The man allegedly poured a flammable liquid on the front door of the building and set it on fire before fleeing the scene," police said in a statement. The suspect, whom the authorities declined to identify, was remanded in custody after his case was heard at Melbourne Magistrates Court on Sunday and no application was made for bail, the Australian Broadcasting Corp reported. Authorities are investigating whether the synagogue fire was linked to a disturbance on Friday night at an Israeli restaurant in Melbourne, in which one person was arrested for hindering police. The restaurant was extensively damaged, according to the Executive Council of Australian Jewry, an umbrella group for Australia's Jews. It said the fire at the synagogue, one of Melbourne's oldest, was set as those inside sat down to Sabbath dinner. Israeli President Isaac Herzog went on X to "condemn outright the vile arson attack targeting Jews in Melbourne's historic and oldest synagogue on the Sabbath, and on an Israeli restaurant where people had come to enjoy a meal together". "This is not the first such attack in Australia in recent months. But it must be the last," Herzog said. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the incidents as "severe hate crimes" that he viewed "with utmost gravity". "The State of Israel will continue to stand alongside the Australian Jewish community," Netanyahu said on X. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese late on Saturday described the alleged arson, which comes seven months after another synagogue in Melbourne was targeted by arsonists, as shocking and said those responsible should face the law's full force. "My Government will provide all necessary support toward this effort," Albanese posted on X. Homes, schools, synagogues and vehicles in Australia have been targeted by antisemitic vandalism and arson. The incidents included a fake plan by organised crime to attack a Sydney synagogue using a caravan of explosives in order to divert police resources, police said in March.

Shopkeeper jailed for 10 years for sexually assaulting and grooming a girl in his shop
A shopkeeper who groomed and sexually assaulted a teenage girl in Stockport has been jailed for 10 years. Daniel Hashmi was found guilty of six offences, including attempted rape, against the same girl after a trial at Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court. He was sentenced to ten years in prison, Greater Manchester police said. Hashmi was arrested in December 2024 after the sister of a friend reported her suspicions to the police. During the court trial, the victim said in a statement: "I thought I could trust him. He is an adult, and they are meant to be protectors, but after this, I will never trust anyone again. "This has affected me more than anyone will ever know - I feel betrayed and completely let down. "He has taken away the most important things that I will never get back - I feel used, and that's the worst thing." Police established that offences had taken place in Hashmi's business on Wellington Road South, Stockport, between November and December last year. The shopkeeper had bought vodka and vapes for his victim, on one occasion blocking the door in a back room to the shop with a sofa to prevent her from leaving before sexually assaulting her. He denied the offences but was found guilty of three counts of sexual assault on a female, two counts of attempted rape and assault by penetration. In addition to his 10-year sentence, Hashimi will have to sign the sex offender's register for life, and will be given a restraining order and a lifelong sexual harm protection order. Detective constable Ben Swapp, of Stockport's complex safeguarding team, said: 'The girl and her family have shown enormous courage, and we will continue to support Stockport Complex Safeguarding Team is a multi-agency team focused on protecting vulnerable children and young people from exploitation and harm. "This team, which includes police officers, social workers, and other professionals, works to identify, assess, and respond to safeguarding concerns, particularly those related to child exploitation. "We are absolutely committed to removing offenders like Hashimi from the streets, as the danger he poses to society, and particularly to children, is significant.' He said he hoped the sentence would give victims the confidence to report crimes of this nature and trust that perpetrators will be brought to justice.

Dad dies after having arm ‘almost cut clean off' while saving wife & kids as they floated on mattress in Texas floods
The devoted dad parted with a heartbreaking last message for his family HERO LOST Dad dies after having arm 'almost cut clean off' while saving wife & kids as they floated on mattress in Texas floods Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A HEROIC dad-of-two died after having his arm cut "almost clean off" while trying to save his family from the Texas floods that have killed more than 50 people. Julian Ryan, 27, bled out after sustaining a horrific gash, but his actions helped his wife and kids to escape the surging water.

Everyone rushed into the couple's bedroom when they were awoken by water pouring in, Christinia told the New York Times. It rapidly rose up to waist height and the mattress began to float - so so the kids hastily placed on it. Christinia told KHOU 11: 'It just started pouring in, and we had to fight the door to get it closed to make sure not too much got in." With no escape route, Julian looked to the only option: the window. He punched through the glass, but the broken edges almost cut his arm clean off, Christinia told KHOU, and severed an artery. As blood poured from Julian's limb, the other two adults tried calling 911 - but nobody came. Julian was losing consciousness from blood loss and the water had risen up to their chins. With his dying words, Julian told his family: "I'm sorry, I'm not going to make it. I love y'all." Christinia said the trailer was eventually broken in half by the force of the currents - allowing the rest of the family to escape. Woman, 22, swept 20 MILES by Texas floods & left clinging to tree in rescue... but 25 children still missing from camp She said: '[Julian] was the best father, and was always such a happy person who was never above helping people, no matter what it cost. 'He died trying to save us.' A GoFundMe has been set up to support the family after they lost Julian, and it has so far raised almost $30,000. It reads: 'Julian gave his life for his family, passing as a true hero. While his family is eternally grateful for his sacrifice, they are shattered by their loss." 10 Piers (left) and Ruffin (right) Boyett had to swim out of their camp cabin to higher ground Credit: KSAT 10 Vehicles and heavy machinery are littered across the landscape after being picked up by the water Credit: getty Julian's story is one of tragedy and sacrifice, but there have also emerged some tales of miraculous survival. Two brave young brothers told of their gutsy escape from a fast-flooding cabin room. Piers and Ruffin Boyett were asleep in a cabin at Camp La Junta on the bank of the Guadeloupe River when it was hit by a wall of water at 4am on Friday morning. They awoke to find water rising rapidly around them - and were forced to make a split-second decision. 10 The plucky pair knew immediately that they had to swim. Younger brother Piers told KSAT: "The flood started getting bigger. "We had bunk beds in our cabins and [the water] was going up to the top bunk and we had one choice — and we had to swim out of our cabin.' Ruffin, the elder one, said: 'I had a first-hand view of the flood. "The cabins were flooding and the walls, they broke down. 'All of the campers in those cabins had to go up on the rafters and wait there until they could swim out." The brothers fought through the water to reach another cabin on higher ground. 10 The heartbreaking scene in Camp Mystic, from dozens of girls went missing Credit: AFP 10 A Center Point resident sits on a tree after the waters have subsided Credit: Getty 10 Campers hug after arriving at a reunification center following the floods Credit: AP They waited there until a rescue bus arrived to take them away from the Guadeloupe River and back to safety. Rescuers are still scouring the devastated landscape in central Texas, but hopes of finding survivors are fast dwindling. Larry Leitha, Kerr County sheriff, said on Saturday: "We have recovered 43 deceased individuals in Kerr County. "Among these who are deceased we have 28 adults and 15 children." Multiple people lost their lives in other counties, bringing the current confirmed death toll to 50 - though this is sadly expected to rise. The most desperate search is for a group of school-age girls who went missing from Camp Mystic - a Christian summer camp near the river. Heartbreaking photos from the wrecked site show sodden mattresses and teddies strewn across dormitories. On Saturday, Sheriff Leitha said 27 of the children were still missing.
