The threat to the UK from International Terrorism is SEVERE
The threat to Great Britain from Irish Republican Terrorism is MODERATE


Domestic:

Eight of the nine men arrested on in London on Thursday last week were released on bail. The men had been detained on suspicion of a number of terrorism offences. One of the men is radical Islamist preacher and former head of banned organisation al Muhajiroun, Anjem Choudary. Another, Trevor Brookes, 39, of Clapton, east London, was charged with breaching his notification requirements under the Counter Terrorism Act 2008. Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command has stressed that the investigations into all the arrested men remain live.

A body believed to be that of Arnis Zalkalns, the prime suspect in the murder of Alice Gross, has been removed from a London park, by police. The badly-decomposed corpse was discovered in dense woodland in Boston Manor Park, west London, on Saturday. Alice, 14, from Hanwell, west London, disappeared on 28 August. Her body was found in the River Brent on Tuesday. On Sunday afternoon, dozens of officers lined-up in the park and searched through the grass. Police said further searches were to look for any further evidence and they were not searching for anything in particular. While formal identification of the body is yet to take place, Zalkalns' partner has been informed of the find, Scotland Yard said.

'Top Gear' presenter Jeremy Clarkson has claimed he was thrown out of Argentina by state officials after being pelted with rocks. He said in a tweet that "thousands" of locals rounded on the Top Gear team in apparent protest at a number plate which appeared to refer to the 1982 Falklands war. A Porsche used in filming had a registration plate that read H982 FKL. Clarkson and team had been filming in South America for a Top Gear special. On his return to the UK Clarkson tweeted: "The number plate WAS a coincidence. When it was pointed out to us, we changed it. "Thousands chased crew to border. Someone could have been killed."

UK Prime Minister David Cameron has promised new Afghan President Ashraf Ghani that Britain will always be a "strong partner and good friend". Mr Cameron, on an unannounced visit to Kabul, said British armed forces had paid a "very high price" for their involvement in Afghanistan. Mr Ghani also thanked the families of those who had lost their lives there. British forces have gone "a long way" towards achieving their objectives in the country, Mr Cameron added. Earlier Mr Cameron visited RAF Akrotiri in Cyprus from where RAF Tornados are launching air strikes against Islamic State militants in Iraq. Mr Cameron is the first world leader to meet Afghanistan's new government.

Northern Ireland and Eire:

It was reported on Saturday that the family home of an independent councillor has been badly damaged in an overnight arson attack in Ballycastle, County Antrim. Flammable liquid was poured through the letter box of Padraig McShane's house in White Hall Avenue, Ballycastle, at about 02:40 BST. No-one was in the house at the time.

Three men have been arrested in a cross-border police operation after a postal van hijacked in Northern Ireland was used in a robbery in the Republic. An armed gang hijacked the van in Londonderry and drove it over the border where they threatened and robbed post office staff in County Donegal. Irish police (An Garda Síochána) said the robbers were armed with a knife, a hammer and a sledge hammer or hatchet. Three men were later arrested close to the border at the village of Killea.

A woman has escaped injury when a petrol bomb was thrown at the car she was driving in Londonderry. The attack took place shortly after 21:00 BST on Friday, as she was driving along the Glengalliagh Road in the city.

A man has been been questioned over the seizure of suspected class A drugs with an estimated street value of more than £10,000 in County Antrim. The discovery was made during a planned police search of a residence at Carnreagh Bend, Newtownabbey, on Friday. A sum of money was also recovered during the operation. The 42-year-old man who was arrested has since been released on police bail pending further enquiries.

Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness has said he was "horrified and disgusted" by an arson attack on an Orange hall in County Donegal. The hall in Convoy was destroyed and an attempt was also made to burn down a Presbyterian church in the village. The fire at the hall was started at about 04:00 BST on Friday.

International:

IS
The family of British hostage Alan Henning say they are "numb with grief" after his murder by Islamic State (IS). A video of the Salford taxi driver's killing appeared online on Friday. His widow Barbara and their children said they were "extremely proud" of the 47-year-old, who had been delivering aid to Syria when he was kidnapped. They thanked the government for its support although Mr Henning's brother-in-law had earlier suggested more could have been done to secure his release. The parents of US hostage Peter Kassig, who is being held by Islamic State militants in Syria, have released a letter he has written in captivity. In the letter, received in June, he said he was "scared to die" and saddened by the pain his ordeal was causing to the family.
The parents of US hostage Peter Kassig have appealed in a video to Islamic State (IS) militants to "show mercy" and release him. Calling their son by the name he now uses, Abdul-Rahman, Ed and Paula Kassig say they are proud of their son and his aid work. It follows the release of an IS video on Friday, which showed the beheading of British aid worker Alan Henning.
RAF jets have carried out their first strikes on Islamic State targets in Iraq, attacking a "heavy weapon position" and an armed pick-up truck. The Ministry of Defence said the attacks were in support of Kurdish units in the north-west of the country. The strikes - by two GR4 Tornados - came four days after Parliament approved military action, and were said to be "successful". About 40 nations are targeting IS, which controls parts of Iraq and Syria. Information from Kurdish sources suggests Tuesday's strikes by two British Tornado jets helped the Kurds retake an "important border crossing" at Rabia. These were the first British raids on IS targets.
Heavy fighting has been reported across a key border crossing between Iraq and Syria last week, where Kurdish forces are battling Islamic State militants. Iraqi Kurdish troops are said to have recaptured the town of Rabia, but suffered heavy casualties. Meanwhile, IS fighters have been trying to dislodge Syrian Kurdish forces on the other side of the border. It comes amid continuing air strikes by a US-led coalition on IS targets both in Syria and Iraq.
The Australian cabinet has given its approval for fighter jets to join the US-led military action against Islamic State targets in Iraq. Prime Minister Tony Abbott said IS was a "death cult" that had "declared war on the world" and must be stopped. IS controls a broad swathe of territory, spanning a borderless stretch of Syria and Iraq.
A third video has appeared featuring British hostage John Cantlie who is being held by Islamic State militants. The journalist delivers a scripted message responding to US President Barack Obama's recent speech on the anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The script mocks the US's strategy of employing air power combined with local ground forces. Mr Cantlie appears sitting at a desk against a black backdrop, following the same format as in previous videos. The message ends with a comment by him that Islamic State (IS) says it welcomes meeting with what is described as President Obama's under-construction army. There are no signs of violence in the video but in the first of these messages Mr Cantlie made clear he was speaking as a prisoner whose life was in danger.

Forty-six people have gone on trial in Antwerp on charges of belonging to a group that sent jihadists to Syria, the largest case of its kind in Belgium. Prosecutors say the Sharia4Belgium organisation sent recruits to militant groups such as Islamic State (IS). Only eight of the accused appeared in court. The rest are thought to be on the frontline - or dead - in Syria. European governments are increasingly worried about the risks posed by their citizens fighting in Syria and Iraq.
Nine out of 46 men accused by prosecutors of being members of a terrorist organisation went on trial in Antwerp on Monday. The men are alleged to have belonged to Sharia4Belgium, an organisation disbanded two years ago, and to have attempted to indoctrinate and recruit members to travel to Syria to fight.
Police in Dhaka have arrested a British man on suspicion of trying to recruit people to join ISIL. It is reported that the man, of Bangladeshi origin, was a former member of the militant Islamist al Nusra Front in Syria. The UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office is providing the man with consular assistance.

GAZA
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has accused Israel of carrying out a "war of genocide" in Gaza in his speech at the UN General Assembly. Mr Abbas said Israeli "war crimes" in Gaza should be punished, but stopped short of saying he would take the issue to the International Criminal Court. His speech brought strong condemnation from Israel and from the US, which described it as "offensive".

LIBYA
At least 29 Libyan soldiers have been killed in two car bombings and clashes in the eastern city of Benghaz last week. Some 60 troops were wounded in the violence near Benghazi airport, medics and military sources say. Libya has seen fierce fighting between rival militias that helped topple Muammar Gaddafi in 2011.
Representatives from rival factions in Libya's new parliament have held UN-brokered talks for the first time in the western oasis town of Ghadames. Sitting members of the House of Representatives met fellow MPs who have so far boycotted sessions. The parliament was elected in July but has been hampered by an upsurge in political violence across the country.

SYRIA
Turkish Kurds and refugees from fighting in Syria have clashed with Turkish security forces on the border between the two countries. Troops used tear gas and water cannon to disperse protesters angry at the situation in Syria, where IS militants are closing in on the town of Kobane. Meanwhile unconfirmed reports say at least 35 militants were killed in US-led air strikes over northern Syria.

SUDAN
Police in Sudan say a Spanish embassy official has been found stabbed to death in the capital, Khartoum. The 61-year-old, who has not been named, was the head of the visa section at the embassy, and had been living in Sudan for three years. He was found dead at his home in Khartoum's eastern district of Garden City in the early hours of Monday, officials said. The police and Sudan's foreign ministry said an investigation was under way. A diplomatic source in Spain confirmed the death, according to Reuters news agency.

ISRAEL
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that a nuclear Iran is a bigger threat to the world than Islamic State (IS) militants. In a speech at the UN, he said that to defeat IS but ignore Iran would be "to win the battle but lose the war". Mr Netanyahu also urged the West not to be fooled by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani's "charm offensive". Talks between Iran and world powers on its nuclear programme ended two weeks ago with no breakthrough.

LEBANON
At least one person was killed and two wounded during a search for militants at refugee camps near Lebanon's border with Syria, the Lebanese army says. Soldiers patrolling a camp outside the town of Arsal opened fire on the men when they tried to set fire to tents at a neighbouring camp, a statement said. However, residents and a local official disputed the army's version of events. The official told AFP that troops had poured petrol on the tents to set fire to them, and detained hundreds of men.

AFGHAN
At least seven Afghan soldiers have died and many were injured after a suicide bomber targeted a bus carrying troops in the Afghan capital Kabul. A second bus was hit by a suicide bomber elsewhere in the city, injuring two soldiers and two civilians. The Taliban said they had carried out the attacks.
The new Afghan government has signed a security deal with American officials that will allow US troops to remain in the country beyond this year. The agreement was signed by Afghanistan's newly appointed national security adviser, Hanif Atmar. The previous President, Hamid Karzai, refused to sign the Bilateral Security Agreement (BSA) with the US, straining ties and raising security fears. Most Nato forces are to withdraw this year, leaving 9,800 US troops behind.

NORTH & SOUTH KOREA
North and South Korea have agreed to resume formal high-level talks that had effectively been suspended since February, reports from South Korea say. The agreement came during a surprise visit to South Korea by North Korean officials for the closing ceremony of the Asian Games. The visit was led by two top-ranking North Korean officials seen as close aides to leader Kim Jong-un. Both sides were said to have agreed to meet again within the next few weeks.

RUSSIA
The EU has decided to keep sanctions on Russia in place, judging that Ukraine's peace deal is not fully effective. EU ambassadors who met on Tuesday had noted some "encouraging developments" since the 5 September ceasefire was agreed, an EU spokeswoman said. But other parts of the peace deal "will need to be properly implemented", said the spokeswoman, Maja Kocijancic.

UKRAINE
There have been more fierce clashes in eastern Ukraine, where pro-Russian separatists are trying to capture Donetsk airport. Heavy firing could be heard near the airport - strategically important for both sides in the conflict. A government spokesman said the rebels had broken into one of the terminals but were later pushed back. The rebels say they have seized the airport. A truce agreed in eastern Ukraine on 5 September looks increasingly fragile.
Last week, Seven Ukrainian soldiers are said to have died in a clash with pro-Russian rebels near Donetsk airport - in what would be the deadliest single incident for the military since a truce deal. A tank shell hit the vehicle carrying the troops, an official said. Three civilians were reportedly killed in other incidents. Ukrainian activists earlier toppled a statue of Lenin in the eastern city of Kharkiv - a move likely to be seen as a provocation by pro-Russians. Nationalist protesters had gathered around the statue on Sunday night for a "Kharkiv is Ukraine" rally. The governor of Kharkiv region, Ihor Baluta, then signed an order to dismantle the statue.
The mayor of Kharkiv, Gennady Kernes, said on a local government website that the monument would be restored, calling its destruction unlawful.
 Officials in eastern Ukraine say artillery is pounding the Donetsk airport area, where Ukrainian troops are resisting pro-Russian separatists. The fighting comes despite the 5 September ceasefire agreement, which has been holding in most other areas. Ukrainian media say the rebels fired Grad rockets at Ukrainian positions at the airport. The rebels say they fired back in response to mortar fire. Grad rocket fire was also reported in Popasna, a town in Luhansk region. The Popasna attack killed several people and wounded others, Luhansk regional governor Hennadiy Moskal said. The town lies in Ukrainian-held territory west of Luhansk, a city held by separatists. The rebels denied using Grad rockets there.

AFRICA
Nine UN peacekeepers from Niger were killed last Friday when their convoy was ambushed in north-east Mali. The UN said it was the deadliest attack on its mission in Mali. French and African troops intervened in Mali in January 2013 to stop the southern advance of Islamist militants on the capital, Bamako.
A video has been released showing the purported leader of Nigeria's Islamist group Boko Haram dismissing the military's allegations that he is dead. In the video, Abubakar Shekau says his fighters shot down an air force jet that went missing three weeks ago. Two weeks ago, the military claimed a man posing as the Boko Haram leader in videos had been killed and in August 2013 said that Shekau may be dead.
 Security analysts have questioned the credibility of the military's claims.

The trial of South African opposition party leader Julius Malema on corruption charges has been postponed until next year. An ex-African National Congress youth leader, Mr Malema is himself known for campaigning against corruption and focusing on poor South Africans. Mr Malema, 33, who was expelled from the governing ANC, is accused of fraud, money-laundering and racketeering. He denies the allegations, which he says are politically motivated. Mr Malema is accused of receiving some $392,000 (£240,000) from corrupt activities involving government deals.

At least 22 people have been killed after their vehicle struck a landmine in Guinea-Bissau, police say. They were travelling to a funeral on Friday a week ago when the incident occurred 60km (37 miles) north-east of the capital. Police say 19 people were killed instantly and three others later died from their injuries.
Scores of Kenyan MPs are preparing to travel to The Hague in support of President Uhuru Kenyatta, who is due to appear at the International Criminal Court (ICC) this week. Mr Kenyatta faces charges of organising ethnic massacres that killed 1,200 people after the 2007 elections. Mr Kenyatta denies the charges. His trial has been delayed several times because of a lack of evidence.
Residents of the Somali capital, Mogadishu, are feeling safer and more optimistic than they were a year ago, according to a new survey. The Heritage Institute of Policy Studies, which analysed data collected from more than 1,600 residents, said people reported a decline in violence. However, serious concerns remain, such as attacks by Islamist group al-Shabab, and mistrust of the security services.

The UK has relaxed its travel advice for the Kenyan capital Nairobi, removing cautions against travelling to "township or slum areas" of the city. The advice had been in place since 2007 following post-election violence. But concerns over terrorism mean warnings against travel to the city's Eastleigh suburb remain, along with two sections of the coast and areas within 40 miles (60km) of the Somalia border. Relaxing the travel advisory brings Nairobi in line with other cities.

SOUTH AFRICA
A man accused of arranging the murder of his wife while on their honeymoon has arrived in court in South Africa. Shrien Dewani, from Bristol, is accused of hiring a hitman to kill his wife Anni in 2010. He denies any wrongdoing. The couple were held at gunpoint while being driven in a taxi through Gugulethu township near Cape Town. Mr Dewani, 34, was thrown from the car. The body of Mrs Dewani, 28, was found the next day in the abandoned taxi with a single gunshot wound to the neck. The trial at the Western Cape High Court is expected to last until December.

THAILAND
Two Burmese men who Thai police say have admitted killing British tourists Hannah Witheridge and David Miller have appeared at a news conference. The men, who appeared dressed in bike helmets and flak jackets, are accused of killing the pair on Koh Tao island. Thailand's police commissioner has said DNA samples taken from Ms Witheridge's body matched those of the two men. The bodies of Ms Witheridge, 23, and Mr Miller, 24, were found on the beach on 15 September with severe head injuries. The two men - identified as "Saw" and "Win" - face charges of murder, rape and robbery, the country's national police chief, General Somyot Poompanmoung, said.

HONG KONG
As Hong Kong braces for huge pro-democracy rallies, leader CY Leung has urged protesters to back electoral reforms set out by Beijing. Speaking early on the National Day holiday, Mr Leung said Hong Kong should work with Beijing to achieve progress. The protesters want Beijing to withdraw plans to vet candidates for the next Hong Kong leadership election in 2017. Activists say they expect the biggest demonstrations yet on the streets to coincide with the holiday.
Hong Kong's leader has warned that police will take "all actions necessary" to ensure government offices and schools reopen on Monday. CY Leung called on demonstrators to allow the government and citizens to "resume their normal work and life" after a week of disruption.
Protesters in Hong Kong have accepted an offer of talks with the government after a week of unrest. Chief Executive CY Leung offered the talks with his deputy late on Thursday but rejected calls to resign. The protesters, angry at China's plan to vet election candidates, have been occupying parts of the city since the weekend, though numbers have fallen. Beijing has thrown its full support behind Mr Leung, calling the protests illegal and "doomed to fail". On Friday, Hong Kong temporarily closed government offices in the main protest-hit area, saying staff should work from home because roads were blocked. Though the protests were significantly smaller on Friday, some groups remained on the streets. In a sign of tensions, there were some scuffles as police tried to keep protesters back from the buildings. The mood is a lot more subdued than on Thursday night when hundreds of protesters were pulling on masks and plastic covers and facing down the police.

EBOLA
Celebrations in West Africa for the Muslim festival of Eid al-Adha have been badly affected by the Ebola outbreak. Reports from Guinea say public places used for prayers are deserted while religious leaders in Sierra Leone told Muslims not to shake hands or embrace.
A French nurse who got the virus in Liberia has recovered after having experimental treatment in Paris.
The first case of the deadly Ebola virus diagnosed on US soil has been confirmed in Dallas, Texas last week. Officials at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital say the unidentified patient is being kept in isolation. The man is thought to have contracted the virus in Liberia before travelling to the US nearly two weeks ago.
A cameraman working in Liberia has tested positive for Ebola and is to be flown home to the US for treatment. The 33-year-old freelancer has been working in the country for three years for a number of media outlets, most recently NBC News. President Barack Obama has pledged federal support to contain the spread in the US, after the first case there.
A hospital in the German city of Frankfurt-on-Main has taken in an Ebola patient after he was flown in during the night under tight security. After arriving on a medical flight from West Africa, the man was brought to Frankfurt University Hospital where he was placed in an isolation ward. He is a Ugandan doctor who worked with Ebola patients in Sierra Leone. It is Germany's second case, with a man undergoing treatment in Hamburg after arriving from West Africa in August.
The UK has called for urgent decisive action from the international community to deal with the growing Ebola epidemic in West Africa. Speaking at a conference in London co-hosted with Sierra Leone, UK Foreign Secretary Philip Hammond called for more financial aid, doctors and nurses. British nurse William Pooley, who contracted Ebola in Sierra Leone, made an emotional appeal for more action.
At least 3,700 children in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone who have lost one or both parents to Ebola this year face being shunned, the UN has said. Carers were urgently needed for these orphans, Unicef said. A basic human reaction like comforting a sick child has been turned "into a potential death sentence", it added.

FLIGHT MH370
The next phase of the search for the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 has begun in the southern Indian Ocean. A ship equipped with specialised sonar technology has arrived in a remote stretch of ocean where the plane is believed to have ended its flight. The Boeing 777, with 239 people on board, went missing after it veered radically of course on 8 March.
