Boy, 15, shot dead in front of children at family fun day in ‘Teletubbies Park'
To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video A teenage boy was shot and killed in front of parents and children attending a family fun day at 'Teletubbies Park'. People were dancing and having fun when Rene Graham was shot in the chest by a masked assassin with a handgun at 'Teletubbies Park' – Emslie Horniman's Pleasance open space – in Ladbroke Grove last July. Police officers are searching for more information on the killing at the pre-Notting Hill Carnival event, with locals claiming a brutal gang war has erupted in the area. CCTV video shows a balaclava-clad suspect clutching a gun as he strolled towards the park. The shooter entered through the busy park's children's play area before killing Rene, who died at the scene, in the early evening. The Met Police footage also reveals the gunman hunted down a second victim in the middle of a crowded street. The suspect had made a quick getaway by jumping over the park's fence before running. He then ran after the second man on Kensal Road and attempted to open fire again. Answers to the shooting lie within a 'small pocket of the community' and people are likely 'sitting on the name' of the shooter, police said. Detective Chief Inspector Alison Foxwell, who is leading the investigation said: 'Rene was tragically shot dead during a busy music festival. 'Since the launch of the investigation, officers have reviewed hundreds of hours of CCTV and taken numerous statements from witnesses. 'Rene's family have continued to be supported throughout these enquiries, and they remain understandably devastated about his death. 'Recently, a man in his 20s was interviewed under caution in relation to Rene's murder and we continue to investigate all lines of enquiry.' Alongside the appeal, charity Crimestoppers is offering a £20,000 reward for leads that solve Rene's murder. DCI Foxwell added: 'The person responsible for Rene's murder opened fire in a busy park where dozens of people, including very young children, were enjoying themselves. 'Officers have appealed to the local community on multiple occasions – we believe there are people sitting on the name of the person responsible. 'This person, who was willing to take the life of Rene and risk the lives of others, remains in your community. Now is the time to get in touch with us to give Rene's family the peace they deserve. 'Our thoughts, remain as ever, with them.' The violence follows a long-running gang 'war' between two rival groups, locals have claimed. The competing gangs are said to be the Ladbroke Grove Boys (LGB), based on the Kensal New Town Estate, and the Harrow Road Boys (HRB) from the Mozart Estate. One bystander at the park on the day of the shooting, Beverley Campbell,told MailOnline: 'Everybody around here knows about the war between the LGB and HRB. 'This is quite a rough area and gang members attacking each other is not a new thing.' Another local of the Kensal New Town Estate, Kelvin, 38, claimed: 'It may sound a bit crazy to outsiders, but this rivalry is not a new thing. 'It's been going on for years and all of us refer to each other as from being 'over the water. 'We don't like them, and they don't like us. But the gangs have taken it to another level and things have got a lot worse. 'They're constantly attacking each other and most of these don't even get reported to the police. If a gang member or any young person is found in the wrong territory, then it always causes problems.' The Mozart estate, completed in 1974, has 737 houses and flats in 25 medium-rise blocks, while 1970s-era Kensal New Town estate also has around 700 flats and homes. Both are around the corner from the elite neighbourhood of Notting Hill, filled to the brim with A listers and multi-million-pound homes. Charity Crimestoppers are asking people to 'do the right thing' and come forward with information to help bring Rene's killer to justice. Alexa Loukas, London Regional Manager for Crimestoppers, said: 'Rene, was very sadly murdered last year in broad daylight with over two hundred people present. 'The significant and lasting impact on his family, friends, and the local community, cannot be underestimated and our thoughts and condolences are with his loved ones. 'We believe someone who either witnessed the incident or knows of someone who was there on the day, will have information. 'No matter how insignificant they think it could be, it could help bring those responsible to justice. 'You can contact Crimestoppers completely anonymously – we won't ask for your name and are unable to identify your telephone number or IP address if you are reporting online. More Trending 'We don't record calls, so once you have contacted our Charity there is no further involvement. 'Your information is passed anonymously on to the Police with no questions asked. 'Please do the right thing to find justice for Rene, who was only 15 years-old at the time of his death. 'Your information could make a real difference, and you may be eligible for a reward.'

Trump administration shuts down LGBTQ youth suicide hotline
The Trump administration on Thursday afternoon officially terminated the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline's LGBTQ Youth Specialized Services program, which gave callers under age 25 the option to speak with LGBTQ-trained counselors. The announcement that the specialized service would be shuttered was made last month by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA). The agency said it would 'no longer silo LGB+ youth services' — notably removing the 'T' representing the transgender community — and would instead 'focus on serving all help seekers.' 'Everyone who contacts the 988 Lifeline will continue to receive access to skilled, caring, culturally competent crisis counselors who can help with suicidal, substance misuse, or mental health crises, or any other kind of emotional distress. Anyone who calls the Lifeline will continue to receive compassion and help,' the agency stated at the time. The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline launched in July 2022, two years after President Donald Trump signed the National Suicide Hotline Designation Act, making 988 the universal number for the national suicide prevention line. The bipartisan legislation noted that LGBTQ youths 'are more than 4 times more likely to contemplate suicide than their peers and stated that SAMHSA 'must be equipped to provide specialized resources' to high-risk populations, including LGBTQ youths. The specialized LGBTQ hotline was rolled out in October 2022, initially as a pilot program, receiving between $29.7 million and $33 million annually, according to SAMHSA. Also known as the 'Press 3 option,' the program gave 988 callers the option to 'press 3' to connect with a counselor trained to assist lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer youths and young adults (they could also text 988 with the word 'PRIDE'). Nearly 1.5 million contacts were routed to the LGBTQ service since its launch, according to data available on the SAMHSA website. The Trevor Project, an LGBTQ youth crisis intervention and suicide prevention organization, was initially the sole provider of the specialized service, but eventually seven providers were part of 988's LGBTQ Youth Subnetwork. Jaymes Black, CEO of the Trevor Project, called the termination of the service 'unfathomable.' 'This administration has made a dangerous decision to play politics with real young people's lives,' Black said in a statement. 'The 988 Lifeline's Specialized Services Program was created to serve Americans at highest risk for suicide — including veterans and LGBTQ+ youth — with best-practice crisis care that meets these populations' unique needs.' The option for 988 callers to press 1 if they are veterans or service members seeking specialized services will remain in operation. 'Sadly, more children are going to die in America because of this cut.' Rep. seth moulton, d-mass. Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., who co-sponsored the legislation that paved the way for the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, spoke about the termination of the LGBTQ youth service in an interview with MSNBC on Wednesday. 'Kids are going to die,' Moulton said when asked about the termination's effects. 'This is actually the kind of thing Republicans should care about if they really care about American kids, because an extraordinary percentage of the people who call this lifeline in a moment of crisis say that it saved their lives.' 'As a veteran, I know how much it means to my fellow veterans to be able to push a button when they call 988 and get connected directly to a veterans crisis counselor — someone who's trained to deal with veterans. Well, LGBTQ kids need that, too,' he added. 'Sadly, more children are going to die in America because of this cut.' It wasn't just Democrats who criticized the decision to shutter 988's LGBTQ youth service. At a press conference outside the Capitol on Thursday, Rep. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., joined several of his colleagues from across the aisle to speak out against the program's termination. 'This lifeline has provided help — it has connected young people with trained professionals who understand what they are going through, and in many cases, it has saved lives,' Lawler said. 'Cutting a program that is working, that is meeting a real and growing need, just does not make sense.' When asked for comment about the termination of the LGBTQ service and critics' claims, a SAMHSA spokesperson pointed NBC News to the agency's June statement announcing the service's forthcoming termination. A spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services, of which SAMHSA is a part, said the Press 3 option had run out of congressionally directed funding and added that continued operation of the specialized service would have required reallocating funds away from the main 988 Lifeline, possibly resulting in massive reductions in service. While 988 has discontinued its LGBTQ youth service, LGBTQ youths and young adults seeking specialized crisis intervention and suicide prevention help can still contact the Trevor Project for such services by calling 1-866-488-7386, texting START to 678678 or visiting Some states are also planning to help fill the gap left by the termination of 988's specialized service for LGBTQ youth. California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced Wednesday that the state's Health and Human Services Agency would partner with the Trevor Project to provide the state's 988 crisis counselors with enhanced competency training in addition to the training they already receive. 'While the Trump administration continues its attacks on LGBTQ kids, California has a message to the community: we see you and we're here for you,' Newsom said in a statement. 'We're proud to work with the Trevor Project to ensure that every person in our state can get the support they need to live a happy, healthy life.'

Pat Kane: The powerful vision of Adam Curtis has an obvious blind spot
And sometimes, as a Scot, you watch to wonder at the way 'Britishness' can blind even the most brilliant to our very existence. Shifty (comprising five episodes of uneven length on iPlayer) drills down on how our current world is shaped by Margaret Thatcher's revolutions, from the late 1970s onwards, in her zeal for individualism and liberated finance. Curtis finds a clip where Thatcher goes on about changing the 'consciousness' of individuals in Britain. This is a new riff on her familiar axiom, where she says, 'economics are the method – the object is to change the soul'. READ MORE: Craig Murray: I've been left questioning real purpose of Alba Party Curtis attempts to show our souls being changed by his daring montages of 'b-roll' – the stuff discarded in TV edit suites, which show the powerful (and the powerless) in less guarded moments. I'm old enough to have been fully present in this era, so there's much I can vouch for here. To start with, Curtis is smart enough to note that the new individualism predates Thatcherite ideology. The series begins in an Edinburgh-based LGB rights centre, ever-so-politely informing a visitor about the gay disco they organise. Curtis also covers the extreme behaviours of an Esalen-style encounter group, all arm-waving self-expression and bad singing. Woven into this is Sun editor Kelvin MacKenzie's decision to report the royals (especially Princess Di) as flawed individuals rather than figures of state. Yet along with illustrative instances of property-owning, self-branding egoism, Curtis goes both genuinely eccentric and literally cosmological. Such 'high weirdness', as scholar Erik Davis puts it, often emerges around animals. A bull mastiff changes sex before its bewildered owner's eyes. There are a few literal 'elephants in the room', where pachyderms are made to perform by profit-conscious zoos, now run by management consultants. As someone's business is strangled by the banks, their horse lies down to die in its paddock. Pigs poisoned by privatised water companies run obsessively into walls. There's a dim awareness of an increasingly disordered nature here. Or it's a medieval feel for signs and wonders, in the shift from one world to another. But at another level, the entire universe is on the line. Curtis highlights the physicist Stephen Hawking, bodily worsening across these episodes while increasing in fame – and the documentarist makes a bold explanatory leap. Hawking had a maths-driven ambition for a 'theory of everything'. It's presented here as a deep legitimation for a Britain thrown into disorder by unleashed markets and hyper-selfism. All time and space – which could mean all precedents and institutions – are reducible to one equation, printable on a T-shirt. Reality is an endlessly flexible field, and we can't change that basic condition. In retrospect, how 80s/90s. There are some excellent (and eminently culpable) baddies on show. The Duke of Westminster salivates over his breakfast as the national news shows miners and steelworkers battling with policemen on the telly. Thatcher herself is shown, cleverly, in various moments of wifely cosplay. She coos over table adornments, exults in her pearls, thrills to new underwear – even as she constricts the money supply, smashes unions and re-engineers the soul. Curtis's biggest political critique of Thatcherite individualism is this. Yes, you can politically build a culture where self-interest is the ultimate motivator. But doesn't that eventually come to corrode the very behaviours, institutions and regulations you need, to keep your establishment in power? READ MORE: Kate Forbes: Bigger-picture switch is proving key in tackling tourism issues And so it did, as Curtis recalls. He charts all the economic shocks that presaged the Great Recession in 2008. Each of them is an indicator that financial traders had the actual control of our national economy, not the politicians who had granted them that power. Again, in a week when the tears of a UK Chancellor cause multi-billion fluctuations in financial markets, Shifty illuminates the roots of our submission to high finance. The quirkiness of Curtis's video-curating seems to come from an almost anarchist belief in the possibility of humans acting differently. The fashion designer Alexander McQueen isn't just praised for his counter-conceptual couture shows, dramatising the psychic stress of the era. But we also hear that he used to sew abusive messages into the lining of Prince Charles's double-breasted number. Music – and particularly music scenes – are valued here as temporary autonomous zones, in which the young and the marginalised can flower. Massive Afro-Caribbean sound systems are loaded off trucks; cheeky post-punks grab their TV spot to argue for cannabis decriminalisation; Pulp, fully in their pomp, sing their anthem for 'Common People'. We are even reminded that Bucks Fizz's The Land Of Make Believe was written as an anti-Thatcher polemic – followed by its writer decamping to Europe as a tax exile. Trevor Horn's use of digital samplers to entirely record Frankie Goes To Hollywood's Relax meant he could produce scores of versions of the song. Curtis adduces this as another analogue of Thatcher's spirit of deregulation. Haud on. As a musician who used sampling in the 1980s, to complete the part that Tom Waits's Uptown Horns were too hungover to do the next day … let's say that not all of Curtis's big connections work. There is one element to Curtis's approach which seems embarrassingly cloth-headed. And that's his entire ignoring of the constant agenda of Scottish self-determination pressing on these years. It's odd. In the interviews surrounding this series, when asked for what comes after and out of this interregnum, Curtis constantly seeks out some new form of collective belief. 'I hope that there is going to be a new kind of idea, which says, 'No, you can have a world in which people still feel themselves as individuals and are free, but also can come together collectively',' Curtis tells Dazed and Confused. 'I don't quite know where it's going to come from. What it needs is for a new kind of politician or social analyst to create a language and a terminology that explains the world to people in ways that [make them] go, 'Oh, yes, I get that. I get why I'm uncertain. I get why I dread the future'. READ MORE: Being a journalist at Westminster is all about right place, right time 'Because before you can come together collectively, you have to have a shared language that means you can recognise in each other why you are all feeling this.' Haud on again. Doesn't the vision of a fair, inclusive, renewables-driven independent Scotland, explored and reported on daily in these pages, exactly fit this bill? The 'shared language' Curtis seeks is the left-green civic nationalism that most of us in the independence movement try to forge. The political and narrative initiative I am involved in, Spring, finds Scottish answers in what we're calling 'cosmolocal' community development to many of the questions Curtis raises. Again, from the Dazed interview: 'One of the things that makes democracy a good thing is the feeling it creates for millions of people of being a part of a community ... if you want to make it work properly again, you need to reinvent the feeling of being part of something. It's not nostalgic. It's necessary. 'I always believe that imagination is terribly powerful. All it requires is someone to come along with a leap of imagination that reconfigures society in a simple, clear way. It's almost like a heightened dramatising of the world you're living through.' It feels like a shame that the civic burgeoning which happened in Scotland during the four decades covered by Shifty simply couldn't be registered by Curtis – even as he yearns for something like its restoring potential. Nevertheless, Adam's a serious man, wholly adequate to the seriousness of the moment. Indeed, one should admit, quite the singular individual.

Trump will end crisis hotline for LGBTQ+ youth. But L.A. has options for those in need
A national hotline will no longer provide services specifically for LGBTQ+ youths in crisis. The Trump administration is ending that support next month. The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline has counselors for anyone in emotional distress or contemplating suicide but also has connected LGBTQ+ youth with specially trained counselors. Research has shown this population experiences significantly higher rates of suicidal ideation. But that specialized service will end July 17. The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, which funds the 988 hotline, said in a statement that callers would no longer have the option to 'press 3' for LGBTQ+-specific services. The agency said it would not 'silo LGB+ youth services' but rather focus on serving all who are seeking help. For members of the LGBTQ+ community in Los Angeles, there are other options, with specifically trained mental health counselors. But advocates for the 988 service say its loss will leave a hole in crisis intervention. This is one more way that people are going to feel like they're not seen, aren't sure of where to reach out for help or don't feel safe enough to seek support, said Terra Russell-Slavin, chief impact officer with the Los Angeles LGBT Center. They noted that the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration announcement used the acronym 'LGB+.' Despite trans youth being a group vulnerable to suicidal ideation, they said, 'they literally ... removed the word 'trans' from the purpose of the hotline.' In less than 30 days, the program that 'has provided life-saving services to more than 1.3 million LGBTQ+ young people' nationwide will no longer be available for those who need it,' said Jaymes Black in a statement. Black is chief executive of the Trevor Project, which has been providing counseling targeted at LGBTQ+ youth through the 988 hotline since 2022. 'The administration's decision to remove a bipartisan, evidence-based service that has effectively supported a high-risk group of young people through their darkest moments is incomprehensible,' Black said. Linda Yoon, founder of Yellow Chair Collective, said the Trevor Project has been a lifesaving resource for many queer youth, including some of the collective's clients. The group provides LGBTQ+ affirming counseling among other services and focuses on providing mental health support for Asian American and multicultural populations. 'Losing that federally funded support is incredibly concerning,' Yoon told The Times. 'These specialized services exist for a reason — they meet needs that general services often overlook or are unequipped to address.' Queer youth experience significantly higher rates of suicidal ideation than their non-LGBTQ+ peers, experts say. More than 1.8 million LGBTQ+ young people in the United States seriously consider suicide each year, and at least one attempts suicide every 45 seconds, according to the Trevor Project. Yoon and her team see youths in crisis in their clinical work. 'Many of our LGBTQ+ youth clients come in with more complex, high-risk cases,' she said, 'especially when they come from unsupportive or unsafe family environments — which, unfortunately, still happens far too often.' More than 50 queer youths seek services from Yellow Chair Collective per year, and many are looking for support after a crisis or when they've struggled to access the care they need elsewhere. The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline was a resource that the collective made known to clients. Going forward, the group will refer them to the Trevor Project, which Yoon said would continue to offer crisis support independently, 24/7. The Trevor Project can be reached at (866) 488-7386. You can also text or chat. In 2022, about 17 years after the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline was launched with a federal grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, 988 began the pilot phase of its specialized services for LGBTQ+ youth. At the time, the Trevor Project served as the sole provider of the services. Eventually it was one of seven centers providing help. Last year, according to the Trevor Project, its counselors helped an estimated 500,000 people — nearly half of whom came through the 988 hotline. At the local level, the Los Angeles County Mental Health Department offers a crisis helpline that's staffed 24/7 to connect residents with resources including mental health professionals with specific training and programs designed for LGBTQ+ individuals and families. Yoon still fears the consequences of losing the 988 service for high-risk queer youth. Its help has been not only tailored but also prompt. 'We know in a crisis being able to respond within a timely manner is very important,' she said. As for Russell-Salvin, they worry about the moment of crisis, when the right contact can make all the difference. They fear that having to find a new, appropriate number to call could be one obstacle too many. 'All of those things are just going to create more barriers,' they said, 'and those barriers are part of what's contributing to the harm.' Los Angeles County's Alternative Crisis Response: Through this program, you can access the county's 24/7 helpline at (800) 854-7771 to connect with culturally responsive services and resources, including mental health professionals specifically trained and programs that are specially designed for LGBTQ+ individuals. The Trevor Project: The project provides crisis services and peer support nationwide. You can access services by texting 'START' to 678-678, calling the hotline at (866)-488-7386 or by live chatting with a professional online. Trans Lifeline: The grassroots hotline and nonprofit organization offers direct emotional and financial support to trans people in crisis. You can call the hotline, (877) 565-8860, Monday through Friday for assistance between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Pacific. There are certain holidays that the hotline is closed; a complete list can be found online. Desi LGBTQ+ Helpline: DEQH offers free, confidential, culturally sensitive peer support, information and resources for LGBTQ+ South Asian individuals and families. You can get in touch with trained volunteers by filling out an online form or by calling (908) 367-3374 on Thursday and Sunday from 5 to 7 p.m. Pacific. Los Angeles LGBT Center: At its 10 locations, the center offers housing, legal aid, healthcare and mental health services to youth and adults who identify as part of the queer and trans communities. A full list of services can be found online or by calling (323) 993-7400. APLAHealth: At eight locations in Los Angeles and Long Beach, the provider offers healthcare, mental health, food, housing and other support services to the LGBTQ+ community. You can make an appointment for a specific service online. Yellow Chair Collective: The team is trained in and practices culturally responsive, trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming counseling and psychotherapy services. The practice specializes in serving Asian American and multicultural clients. You can learn more about their services or schedule an appointment online. Planned Parenthood: Participating locations provide mental and physical health resources for LGBTQ+ community members. Resources include support groups for queer youth ages 14 to 21 and gender-affirming healthcare. You can view all services and make an appointment at a local healthcare facility online. CalHOPE: California offers online mental health support for youth and young adults through CalHOPE at (833) 317-4673; callers can also find guides to queer specific mental health services.

Trump Administration Shutters Suicide Hotline For LGBTQ Youth
Source: picture alliance / Getty The 'pro-life' party is once again proving that it only cares about the lives of straight, cisgender people. Earlier this week, the Trump administration announced that it would be shuttering a line on the national suicide hotline specifically made for LGBTQ youth. According to CBS News, the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration announced that the 'press 3 option' will be removed from the national Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. 'On July 17, the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline will no longer silo LGB+ youth services, also known as the 'Press 3 option,' to focus on serving all help seekers, including those previously served through the Press 3 option,' the statement released by SAMHSA reads. 'Everyone who contacts the 988 Lifeline will continue to receive access to skilled, caring, culturally competent crisis counselors who can help with suicidal, substance misuse, or mental health crises, or any other kind of emotional distress. Anyone who calls the Lifeline will continue to receive compassion and help,' the statement continued. The 'press 3 option' was created in 2022 as a pilot project in conjunction with The Trevor Project, a nonprofit focused on suicide prevention for LGBTQ youth. When the press 3 option launched in 2022, the hotline saw a 40 percent increase in calls. It's unclear if the people who worked on the specialized line would be folded into the mix of current crisis counselors or cut from the hotline outright. Jaymes Black, CEO of The Trevor Project, released a statement condemning the move by the administration. 'We received official notice that the Trump administration has ordered the closure of The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline's LGBTQ+ Youth Specialized Services program, effective July 17, 2025. This means that, in 30 short days, this program that has provided life-saving services to more than 1.3 million LGBTQ+ young people will no longer be available for those who need it,' the statement read. Source: EvgeniyShkolenko / Getty 'This is devastating, to say the least. Suicide prevention is about people, not politics. The administration's decision to remove a bipartisan, evidence-based service that has effectively supported a high-risk group of young people through their darkest moments is incomprehensible.' It shouldn't be lost on anyone that this particularly cruel move comes during Pride month, which has already been more subdued as a result of the actions by the Trump administration. The crackdown on diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) has seen multiple pride events scaled down as funding usually set aside for pride has been withdrawn. The statement was also particularly gross in how it dropped the 'T' in 'LGBTQ,' which Black also noted in his statement. 'The fact that this news comes to us halfway through Pride Month is callous – as is the administration's choice to remove the 'T' from the acronym 'LGBTQ+' in their announcement. Transgender people can never, and will never, be erased' Black wrote. It's clear that the Trump administration wants LGBTQ people to die. I'm not even being hyperbolic, as the National Institutes of Health have slashed millions of dollars in funding for several grants aimed at sexual health for LGBTQ Americans. A recent court ruling blocked a Trump executive order that pulled funding from several LGBTQ non-profits, saying that the vague wording of the order infringed on their First Amendment rights. Across the board the Trump administration is doing everything it can to make life harder, and quite frankly, deadlier for queer and trans youth. The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline can be reached by calling or texting 988. You can also chat with the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline here . The Trevor Project's trained crisis counselors are available 24/7 at 1-866-488-7386, via chat at , or by texting START to 678678.
