11 days ago The Guardian

Yesterday, a government minister admitted that 200 children are missing from six Home Office hotels. “It is shocking, but it is not surprising to us,” said Ecpat’s head of policy Laura Durán. Photograph: Andy Hall/The ObserverThe police’s policy on how how to respond when asylum-seeking children go missing is still in “development”. While the police has warned the Home Office that the children would be targeted by criminal networks, it says it has received no kidnapping allegations. “The Albanian and Eritrean gangs pick them up in their BMWs and Audis and then they just vanish.” 176 of the currently missing children are of Albanian origin, Murray said.

Polly Klaas’s murder fueled the 90s crime panic. Her sisters fear ‘we’re repeating history’

“We don’t want our pain to be used to punish anyone else … We’re on the precipice of repeating a really terrible history. Polly Klaas, Jess and Annie Nichol. They had long been intensely private in part out of a desire not to feed the true crime genre obsession with Polly. In 2020, after the uprisings sparked by George Floyd’s murder, the sisters started meeting with other crime survivors who were disenchanted with America’s criminal justice system. And if we can imagine a better future then I think that’s something everyone can imagine.”Sisters Jess Nichol and Polly Klaas.

Boris Johnson return would restart Partygate ‘soap opera’, says Raab

Dominic Raab has said he does not see how anybody could “reconcile” supporting the return of Boris Johnson to Downing Street while he is still being investigated for Partygate as he threw his weight behind Rishi Sunak. The Conservative MP, who was deputy prime minister under Johnson, said although he believed a return to frontline politics was possible for the former prime minister, he did not back it happening while he was subject to an ongoing inquiry. For more information see our Newsletters may contain info about charities, online ads, and content funded by outside parties. According to the latest Guardian count, at 10am on Saturday, Sunak leads the contest with 90 public nominations – almost double Johnson’s 48. Asked about the former prime minister returning to the role on the Today programme, he said: “He’s disgraced.

What links Colin Farrell to Sex and the City and a pint of plain?

After American sojourns, McDonagh revisits a 1920s west of Ireland locale more akin to the early plays that made his name. His pivot to fiction with crime debut Central Park West is due next year. This, alas, bears no connection to Central Park West, Darren Star’s flop soap that preceded Sex and the City, and is best remembered for a cast including John Barrowman, Lauren Hutton, Raquel Welch and Mariel Hemingway. After Miss Julie… who directed Miss Julie starring Colin Farrell … Photograph: Kate Green/Getty ImagesThough best known for Bergman (Ingmar) films, Ullmann also directed, including taking on another Swedish giant in Strindberg’s Miss Julie; Jessica Chastain and Colin Farrell starred. Which brings us up to date, with Farrell and Gleeson bickering darkly on a remote island, over a pint of plain.

Vera Pauw insists ‘no excuses’ for chant as Ireland face tough World Cup draw

The Republic of Ireland manager, Vera Pauw, says it is right that Uefa has opened an investigation after her players were filmed singing a pro-IRA song following their qualification for their first World Cup. In the clip, player are seen singing “Ooh ah, up the ’RA” – words associated with support for the Irish Republican Army. I hope that we go into football now,” Pauw added. “We are just going to live to the full and embrace it,” she said at the draw in Auckland on Saturday. Not only the squad and the staff, but also the management and the press and the whole support of the nation.

Klopp bemoans poor finishing after Liverpool slip up at Nottingham Forest

Klopp said it was often a case of “us against ourselves” after Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah spurned chances from set pieces for a Liverpool team who remain without a Premier League away win this season. The Forest goalkeeper, Dean Henderson, superbly denied Van Dijk, who also squandered a golden chance to head Liverpool in front in the first half, in second-half stoppage time before thwarting Salah. How often does Virgil van Dijk put these [chances] in the back of the net? You can look back and think: ‘How did that happen?’ But it happened and that’s it.”Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk powers a header at goal in stoppage time to no avail. The mentality has to work even harder because we’re still nowhere near where we want to be in the league.

Taiwo Awoniyi strike stuns Liverpool and lifts Nottingham Forest off bottom

Steve Cooper’s name reverberated around this throbbing stadium at the final whistle as fans launched into a hearty chorus of “Forest are back, Forest are back”. Nottingham Forest’s Dean Henderson clambers down to stop a Virgil van Dijk header in injury time. Photograph: Michael Zemanek/ShutterstockThis game could have taken a different shape had Van Dijk taken Liverpool’s best chance eight minutes before the break. Klopp suggested Van Dijk was perhaps spooked because he thought he may be offside. After Van Dijk, Salah and Alexander-Arnold failed to find an equaliser, Awoniyi, a ‚£17m summer signing from Union Berlin, could finally savour his special moment.
