Tour de France prankster knocked off bike by police in chaotic scenes
This year's Tour de France has been disrupted by a series of incidents and Wednesday saw another, as a man dressed like a rider got over the boardings and onto the track with his own bike French police and security guards were forced to tackle a prankster who was dressed up as a cyclist and invaded the Tour de France track just moments before the conclusion of a crucial stage. The unidentified man was dressed in full cycling gear, imitating a rider. But security immediately spotted the man after he leapt over the boardings with his bike and tried to ride across the finish line of Stage 17. He was wearing a Decathlon AG2R La Mondiale jersey. The man was quickly removed from the track, ensuring that the leaders were able to pass. Stage 17 was eventually won by Italy's Jonathan Milan. This year's Tour de France has been littered with incidents. Last Wednesday, at Stage 11, security personnel had to stop a pro-Palestine protestor who'd made their way onto the track. The man sprinted down the track with his hands in the air a mere 25 metres from the stage's finish line. Riders were going past as it happened. The protestor was wearing a t-shirt which read: " Israel out of the Tour." He was also holding a keffiyeh, a black-and-white checkered headdress which is considered a pro-Palestine symbol. During the 14th stage of the iconic event, an INEOS team car hit a spectator who'd stepped onto the road. Earlier this month, a knife-wielding attacker was shot in the leg by police after trying to disrupt the race between Amiens and Rouen. The attacker allegedly threatened people and stabbed a police officer close to the finish line of stage 4. Huge crowds had gathered to see world champion Tadej Pogacar clash with the likes of Mathieu van der Poel and Jonas Vingegaard. But it was Milan, 24, who took the glory at stage 17 on Wednesday. "This is a really fantastic team victory and I have to thank them from the bottom of my heart," he beamed after his stage second win of his maiden Tour de France. "I survived with the help of my team-mates. Without this, I would not be here. They delivered me in the best position [for the finish]." It was a rain-soaked sprint finish in Valence, with a huge crash one kilometre from the end making the headlines. Milan, a debutant with Lidl-Trek, leads 'rockstar' Pogacar by 72 points in the points classification and is braced for a battle with the dominant Slovenian. "We achieved 61 points today, so I'm really happy about that," Milan added. "It was one of our goals in the beginning of the day. I think it's never easy to have a real specific [goal] and then to achieve it, so I'm also really happy for that. "In the next days, we will try to do our best, to take as many points as we can in the intermediate sprints and then, yeah, we will see.. With Tadej he's a cycling rock star, so we will also see with the points that he will achieve. From my side, I will just try to give my best to bring the green jersey as far as we can."

Former sidekick of caged kingpin Jamie ‘Iceman' Stevenson arrested in Dubai after five years on the run
THE former right-hand man of caged cocaine kingpin Jamie 'Iceman' Stevenson has been arrested in Dubai after five years on the run. Stephen 'Jimmy' Jamieson, 42, of Glasgow, will be extradited to Scotland over a raft of allegations linked to serious organised crime. 4 Stephen 'Jimmy' Jamieson (left) was the former right-hand man of caged cocaine kingpin Jamie 'Iceman' Stevenson 4 Jamieson was arrested in Dubai after five years on the run 4 Jamieson took over the kingpin's empire when he was jailed for smuggling cocaine in banana boxes 4 Jamieson fled to Dubai five years ago Credit: Getty Jamieson is 'ready to come home' to face justice following five years on the run in Dubai, we can reveal. Underworld sources said the drug dealer had decided not to fight his extradition to Scotland as he is fed-up of the glitzy lifestyle and misses his friends and family. Jamieson fled to the Gulf state five years ago and took over the empire of cartel boss Jamie 'Iceman' Stevenson, 60 — jailed for a £100million plot to smuggle cocaine to Glasgow from South America in boxes of bananas. He has been wanted by Interpol since and has now finally been tracked down in connection with allegations linked to serious organised crime here. One well-placed source said: 'Jimmy has decided to go back, face the consequences and get it over and done with. 'All of his close friends and family stay in Scotland. 'He's never been happy in Dubai. He likes his home comforts and the Glasgow lifestyle.' Jamieson fled to Dubai in 2020 as cops began rounding up hundreds of hoods after the French and Dutch forces cracked EncroChat — the encrypted phone network used by organised gangs. He has been snared under a cross-border arrest warrant, known as an Interpol red notice, and looks certain to appear in court in Scotland soon. Our insider added: 'Only the most serious charges result in red notices. The INSIDE story of Scotland's biggest gangster - Jamie 'The Iceman' Stevenson 'Whatever he is wanted for must be serious and if he is convicted, it will carry a large sentence.' Jamieson's arrest comes after we told this month how he chased ex-Rangers ultras leader turned mobster Ross 'Miami' McGill around a Dubai gym. Sources say the clash came as expat hoods in the UAE get 'twitchy' over the ongoing turf war McGill, from East Kilbride, kicked off in Scotland. Insiders say he was a supporter of McGill, who is targeting allies of jailed Edinburgh cocaine kingpin Mark Richardson, 38, after he was ripped off with fake cash in a £500,000 drugs deal. But the relationship is said to have soured after Miami and his crew also took on Glasgow's Daniel mob. Cops have so far made 55 arrests. Police Scotland declined to comment on Jamieson's arrest.

NOC loses judgment in a case in which it is not a party, but to appeal in final court of appeal
Libya's state National Oil Corporation (NOC) issued a Press Briefing today on the back of news that some of its assets abroad have been seized through a court ruling in a case in which it is not a party, but simply because this court deemed it not an independent entity but an extension of the Libyan state. The NOC said it is appealing the judgment in the final court of appeal. Here is the full statement: ''The National Oil Corporation (NOC) has followed up on the news circulated by some media pages on social media, a large part of which is correct, related to the cases of the precautionary seizure signed by some foreign companies on the funds and shares of the corporation in France, which obliged us to clarify the following: The NOC won three lawsuits, before the Paris Court of Appeal on March 13, 2025, all of which resulted in the cancellation of the precautionary reservations signed by three Swiss companies (Sysmed Travel, Jallouli Communications Group Easymedia, and Hopital de la Tour) with a total value of 35 million euros on the corporation's shares in the Mabrouk Company in France and some of its bank accounts, which were based on arbitration rulings issued in its favour by the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris against the Libyan state. On 10 November 2022, the Cypriot company Olin issued precautionary seizure orders on the funds of the National Oil Corporation with third parties in France, based on a final arbitration ruling issued in its favour against the Libyan state by the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris on 25/08/2018, which obliges the Libyan state to pay an amount of (24,373,175.70 euros), and the corporation demanded the cancellation of the seizure orders through a lawsuit it filed against Olin Company before the French judiciary, in which the Paris Court of Appeal ended on June 19, 2025 Issuing its judgment rejecting the NOC's request to cancel the seizure on the basis that the latter is considered an extension of the Libyan state, and that its funds do not enjoy any immunity from execution, even if it is not a party to the dispute between the Libyan state and Olin Company. Finally, the NOC has initiated the procedures of appealing the aforementioned judgment before the French Court of Cassation, in order to exhaust all levels of litigation to cancel the seizure of its assets, which is based on a judgment issued in a lawsuit in which the corporation was not a party.
