UK terrorist prevention review to be fast-tracked after killing of MP Amess

Report into anti-radicalisation strategy Prevent to be published 'as quickly as possible'

The British government is to speed through its review of its counterterrorist radicalisation strategy after the fatal stabbing of MP Sir David Amess.

Government sources have disclosed that the examination of Prevent’s effectiveness will be published “as quickly as possible” after the suspect in Amess's killing apparently slipped through the system.

The effectiveness of Prevent, which aims to turn people away from extremist indoctrination, has been questioned after several incidents in which individuals have attended the programme only to become radicalised later.

A man identified as Ali Harbi Ali, who was arrested after the MP was killed in Essex on Friday, attended the programme after concerns over his views but then left it several years ago. It is understood that Mr Ali did not spend long in Prevent and was also never a formal subject of interest to MI5, the security service.

He is reportedly the son of a former adviser to the prime minister of Somalia, with other relatives apparently having been in diplomatic or advisory roles for the country’s government.

Police said the early investigation revealed a “potential motivation linked to Islamist extremism”.

Detectives will be following several different lines of inquiry to work out the motive.

Counterterrorism police have previously warned of the dangers of increasing numbers of people potentially becoming radicalised during coronavirus lockdowns while spending more time online.

The Prevent system is voluntary although there have been calls for it to be made mandatory to attend.

That could be among the recommendations presented when the much-delayed review is published in the coming months.

Pressed on when the report would be released soon, Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s spokesman said that while MPs' security was “always kept under review”, the government wanted “to do everything possible so MPs can carry out their vital work”.

He said that while a date had yet to be fixed, careful consideration was being given to bring the review forward for publication. The Home Secretary Priti Patel had also asked for an update, he said.

Police have been contacting MPs and Cabinet ministers to review their security.

Mr Johnson was determined MPs would not be intimidated by “those who seek to divide us with hate”, his spokesman said.

“The prime minister has shared his concerns,” he said.

The Prevent review, announced in January 2019, has been beset by delays but the government eventually appointed former charity watchdog chief William Shawcross to lead it this year.

He will consider Britain’s strategy for protecting people vulnerable to being drawn into terrorism and will make recommendations for the future.

Prevent makes it a legal duty for schools, hospitals, prisons and local authorities to report concerns they might have about employees being radicalised.

The strategy is understood to have diverted a number of vulnerable men and women from becoming terrorists.

The independent review will consider the strategy, delivery and future of the Prevent programme.

“I intend to lead a robust and evidence-based examination of the programme, to help ensure that Britain has a clear and effective strategy to protect vulnerable people from being drawn into terrorism,” Mr Shawcross said upon his appointment in January.

Meanwhile, the UK government has been accused of ignoring top-level advice to change laws to curb hate, as a former policing boss gave a warning that existing legislation allows people to “glorify terrorism”.

Sir Mark Rowley, co-author of a review into the country’s counterterrorism strategies, said eight months after submitting the findings of his probe he has yet to hear anything back from ministers.

He said the review, which he carried out in collaboration with the Commission for Countering Extremism, found new laws were needed to stop hateful groups from “operating with impunity”.

Mr Rowley’s review, submitted in February, said extremists were exploiting gaps within existing hate crime and terrorism legislation.

It argued that terrorists, including the London Bridge attack ringleader, could have been arrested earlier had tighter laws been in place.

Mr Rowley, who retired as the head of UK counterterrorism policing in 2018, said that without action from the government, loopholes exist that leave Britain vulnerable to terrorist groups.

The Amess family urged people to be tolerant and “set aside hatred” as counterterrorism officers investigate his killing.

They said they were “absolutely broken” after he was stabbed while meeting constituents at Belfairs Methodist Church in Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, at one of his regular surgeries in his Southend West constituency on Friday.

Amess, a married father-of-five, died at the scene.

“Strong and courageous is an appropriate way to describe David," his family said in a statement released by the London's Metropolitan Police. "He was a patriot and a man of peace.

“So we ask people to set aside their differences and show kindness and love to all. This is the only way forward. Set aside hatred and work towards togetherness.

“Whatever one’s race, religious or political beliefs, be tolerant and try to understand.

“As a family, we are trying to understand why this awful thing has occurred. Nobody should die in that way. Nobody.”

The MP's widow Julia Amess visited Belfairs Methodist Church on Monday morning accompanied by family members. She was seen wiping away tears as she read messages on floral tributes placed outside the building.

How to come clean about financial infidelity
  • Be honest and transparent: It is always better to own up than be found out. Tell your partner everything they want to know. Show remorse. Inform them of the extent of the situation so they know what they are dealing with.
  • Work on yourself: Be honest with yourself and your partner and figure out why you did it. Don’t be ashamed to ask for professional help. 
  • Give it time: Like any breach of trust, it requires time to rebuild. So be consistent, communicate often and be patient with your partner and yourself.
  • Discuss your financial situation regularly: Ensure your spouse is involved in financial matters and decisions. Your ability to consistently follow through with what you say you are going to do when it comes to money can make all the difference in your partner’s willingness to trust you again.
  • Work on a plan to resolve the problem together: If there is a lot of debt, for example, create a budget and financial plan together and ensure your partner is fully informed, involved and supported.

One in nine do not have enough to eat

Created in 1961, the World Food Programme is pledged to fight hunger worldwide as well as providing emergency food assistance in a crisis.

One of the organisation’s goals is the Zero Hunger Pledge, adopted by the international community in 2015 as one of the 17 Sustainable Goals for Sustainable Development, to end world hunger by 2030.

The WFP, a branch of the United Nations, is funded by voluntary donations from governments, businesses and private donations.

Almost two thirds of its operations currently take place in conflict zones, where it is calculated that people are more than three times likely to suffer from malnutrition than in peaceful countries.

It is currently estimated that one in nine people globally do not have enough to eat.

On any one day, the WFP estimates that it has 5,000 lorries, 20 ships and 70 aircraft on the move.

Outside emergencies, the WFP provides school meals to up to 25 million children in 63 countries, while working with communities to improve nutrition. Where possible, it buys supplies from developing countries to cut down transport cost and boost local economies.

Daniella Weiss and Nachala
Described as 'the grandmother of the settler movement', she has encouraged the expansion of settlements for decades. The 79 year old leads radical settler movement Nachala, whose aim is for Israel to annex Gaza and the occupied West Bank, where it helps settlers built outposts.

Harel Libi & Libi Construction and Infrastructure
Libi has been involved in threatening and perpetuating acts of aggression and violence against Palestinians. His firm has provided logistical and financial support for the establishment of illegal outposts.

Zohar Sabah
Runs a settler outpost named Zohar’s Farm and has previously faced charges of violence against Palestinians. He was indicted by Israel’s State Attorney’s Office in September for allegedly participating in a violent attack against Palestinians and activists in the West Bank village of Muarrajat.

Coco’s Farm and Neria’s Farm

How the bonus system works

The two riders are among several riders in the UAE to receive the top payment of £10,000 under the Thank You Fund of £16 million (Dh80m), which was announced in conjunction with Deliveroo's £8 billion (Dh40bn) stock market listing earlier this year.

The £10,000 (Dh50,000) payment is made to those riders who have completed the highest number of orders in each market.

There are also riders who will receive payments of £1,000 (Dh5,000) and £500 (Dh2,500).

All riders who have worked with Deliveroo for at least one year and completed 2,000 orders will receive £200 (Dh1,000), the company said when it announced the scheme.

How to improve Arabic reading in early years

One 45-minute class per week in Standard Arabic is not sufficient

The goal should be for grade 1 and 2 students to become fluent readers

Subjects like technology, social studies, science can be taught in later grades

Grade 1 curricula should include oral instruction in Standard Arabic

First graders must regularly practice individual letters and combinations

Time should be slotted in class to read longer passages in early grades

Improve the appearance of textbooks

Revision of curriculum should be undertaken as per research findings

Conjugations of most common verb forms should be taught

Systematic learning of Standard Arabic grammar
