Teenager killed in ‘targeted' football car park attack
A teenager was killed in a 'targeted' knife attack in the car park of a football complex. Mohammed Afzal was found with multiple stab wounds at the car park of the Powerleague football complex in Bury, Greater Manchester, on Friday night. He later died from his stab injuries. Three 19-year-old male suspects remain in custody after being arrested on suspicion of murder over the weekend while the police investigation continues. Two arrests took place in Bury and Bolton on Saturday night, while a third arrest occurred at Manchester airport at around 4.30am on Sunday morning. Afzal's family are being supported by specially trained officers. One resident said emergency services started to arrive on the scene at 9.30pm. He said: 'There were ambulances, police vans, rapid response. Later that night you could hear a woman scream when she came to the scene, I have never heard anything like it. We knew then someone had died.' Det Ch Insp John Charlton, of Greater Manchester Police, said: 'Firstly, our thoughts are with the victim's family and friends after this tragic and upsetting incident – our specially trained officers are supporting them at this difficult time. 'This incident will have shocked the community and distressed anyone who witnessed it, but we believe this was a targeted attack with no wider threat. 'In the coming days as we are determined to bring the family the answers they deserve.'

Can't Look Away review – a harrowing, heartbreaking indictment of social media's ruthlessness
'Tweens are herd animals' and have 'an addicts' narrative', according to internal documents revealed by a Facebook whistleblower to congress, making clear the levels of cynicism and obfuscation the company operates with in its quest to hook young people to its platform. Bad though that is, it's not the worst example in this lucidly laid out and often harrowing indictment of social media's ruthlessness; that would be the proliferation of drug dealers on Snapchat, which the company seems to have to some extent turned a blind eye to in the scramble to expand its user base. Based on the investigative work of Bloomberg journalist Olivia Carville, this film covers the attempts of minnow legal outfit Social Media Victims Law Center to net the sharks of Silicon Valley. It represents a host of families who have suffered heartbreaking losses due to unpoliced extreme online content: children and teenagers who fatally copied auto-asphyxiation or pro-suicide videos, ones who killed themselves after falling victim to sextortionists, or who overdosed after buying off-prescription meds from predatory dealers. The battle here is to overcome section 230, a get-out clause in the 1996 Telecommunication Act that gives social media companies immunity for third-party-generated content. Of course, Mark Zuckerberg was still slurping Slush Puppies back then. Matthew Bergman, the center's founder, twice makes the analogy with cigarette companies, arguing that social media companies knowingly prioritise profit over the health of their users. If the film is clear about this causation and the resulting damage, it is not a given that the team can make a longer leap: from establishing a degree of culpability in individual cases and getting justice and closure for these families, to proving that the tech companies systematically predicate their algorithms on fanning our most negative tendencies and impulses. The big victory here is stopping the Snapchat case being dismissed due to section 230; more of a minor triumph that shows the scale of the mountain, but you have to start somewhere. This is a vital piece of public-interest journalism clearly spelling out what we all vaguely intuited.
