Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe could be sent back to prison 'at any time' after losing latest appeal in Iran - Sky News

Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe has lost her latest appeal against her sentence in Iran, meaning she could be sent back to prison "at any time", with the foreign secretary condemning the latest move by Iranian forces.

Labour's Tulip Siddiq said the British-Iranian dual national's sentence of one year plus a one-year travel ban has been "upheld with no court hearing".

The Hampstead and Kilburn MP has urged Prime Minister Boris Johnson to intervene in the case.

Ms Siddiq tweeted: "Just spoke to my constituent Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe's husband Richard.

"Nazanin has lost her latest appeal and her sentence of 1 year plus 1 year travel ban is upheld with no court hearing.

"She could now be returned to prison at any time. The PM must act now to #FreeNazanin."

Ms Siddiq later said: "This is yet another piece of devastating news for my constituent, her family and the millions around the world who care about her. For Nazanin to face a return to prison after the ordeal she's been through is nothing short of a catastrophe.

"It seems that every time we dare to hope that Nazanin might soon be free, there is another dreadful setback that puts freedom out of sight. Whatever the prime minister has been doing to free Nazanin is clearly not working.

"It's time for the UK government to pay the debt we owe to Iran, stand up to their despicable hostage taking and finally get Nazanin home."

Foreign Secretary Liz Truss also added her condemnation, saying: "Iran's decision to proceed with these baseless charges against Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is an appalling continuation of the cruel ordeal she is going through.

"Instead of threatening to return Nazanin to prison, Iran must release her permanently so she can return home.

"We are doing all we can to help Nazanin get home to her young daughter and family and I will continue to press Iran on this point."

Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe has been in custody in the country since 2016 after being accused of plotting to overthrow the government.

She was taking her daughter Gabriella to see her family when she was arrested and was sentenced to five years in prison shortly afterwards, spending four years in Evin Prison.

She spent the final year of her sentence under house arrest in Tehran, but after her release this year was convicted of "spreading propaganda against the regime".

Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe and her family have reportedly been told by Iranian authorities that she is being detained because of the UK's failure to pay an outstanding £400m debt to Iran.

She is one of several people with British or dual-British nationality detained in Iran.

Her husband Richard Ratcliffe, Ms Siddiq and Amnesty International have been campaigning for her release for several years.

Amnesty International UK chief executive, Sacha Deshmukh, said: "This is terrible news and is just more torment on top of five-and-a-half years of suffering for Nazanin and her family.

"Nazanin was subjected to a deeply unfair original trial, was rushed through a farcical second court process and is now confronted by more time behind bars - it's absolutely excruciating to see this happening.

"We've said repeatedly that Boris Johnson, (Foreign Secretary) Liz Truss and others in government need to genuinely step up on Nazanin's case and other cases where British nationals are being persecuted in Iran.

"We want to see action urgently, and this must include the government setting out a clear strategy for securing the release of all British nationals unlawfully held in Iran."

Last month, Foreign Secretary Liz Truss met her Iranian counterpart Hossein Amir-Abdollahian at the UN General Assembly, where she "pressed" him on the issue and vowed to "continue to press" him on the issue until Ms Zaghari-Ratcliffe returns home.

The Foreign Office has been contacted by Sky News for comment.

Conservative MP Sir David Amess stabbed multiple times in incident at constituency surgery - Sky News

A Conservative MP has been stabbed multiple times in an incident at his constituency surgery and a man has been arrested.

Sir David Amess, who represents Southend West in Essex, was attacked on Friday afternoon at Belfairs Methodist Church in Leigh-on-Sea.

UPDATE: MP David Amess has died after stabbing, police say

Live updates: Man arrested on suspicion of murder

Sky News understands a man walked into his constituency surgery and stabbed him multiple times.

It is believed Mr Amess, 69, has been receiving treatment at the scene for his injuries, with a local Conservative Party source telling Sky News that an air ambulance is at the scene.

His condition is unclear, Sky News political correspondent Joe Pike reports.

"He was stabbed several times," Local councillor John Lamb told Reuters.

"We're not sure how serious it is but it's not looking good."

A spokesman for his Westminster office said: "The incident has happened. I don't know what the incident is. We are still waiting."

Sir David has been MP for Southend West since 1997 and first entered parliament in 1983.

Essex Police said in a statement: "We were called to reports of a stabbing in Eastwood Road North, #LeighonSea shortly after 12.05pm today.

"Officers were on scene shortly after, arrested a man and recovered a knife. He is currently in custody.

"We are not looking for anyone else in connection with the incident and do not believe there is an ongoing threat to the wider public.

"We want to thank the public who alerted us to the incident so quickly."

Eyewitness Anthony Finch told Sky News the incident was "devastating to witness", adding the MP has yet to leave the building and medics are continuing to "fight for his life".

Judith Canham, the deputy chair of the local Conservative club in Sir David's constituency, said she was told he had been "stabbed three times".

Analysis by Sam Coates, deputy political editor

Friday is the day MPs around the country tend to hold surgeries to meet constituents.The aim is to listen to their concerns and offer support where possible.

These meetings normally take place in locations like church or community halls. The MP will often have just one member of staff alongside them.

Most surgeries are publicly advertised, as was the case with the one hosted by Sir David today, and do not require prior booking, so the MP holding the session does not necessarily know who could come through the door. Many who do are, by definition, looking for help, and some can be quite angry.

MPs I have spoken to this afternoon say those situations can, as a result, feel quite threatening. The person sitting opposite can view the local MP as personally responsible for the situation the constituent finds themself in.

This latest attack on an MP will no doubt raise a fresh debate about security, like the one that followed the tragic murder of Jo Cox during the Brexit referendum in 2016.

Questions will be raised about the system that exists and whether sufficient security consideration is given to parliamentarians when they carry out this important function for their constituents.

Some MPs tell me there was a noticeable increase in consideration of security following the murder of Jo Cox - one said the police would come and ask him in advance where his surgeries were taking place - but that level of attention has since tailed off.

An employee of Jean's Laundry, near the church, said she did not know anything about the incident but had seen emergency service vehicles go by.

"We just saw all the police and the ambulances turning up, it was probably about half past 12 or just before then," she told the Press Association.

"I saw about two or three ambulances and then an undercover police car and other police cars going past.

"There's usually people walking past, elderly people walking to the shops. We've still got no idea what's going on, we're not very busy on a Friday and no one has come in to talk to us about it."

Brendan Cox, widower of the late Labour MP Jo Cox, who was murdered in an attack in 2016, said the stabbing was "as cowardly as it gets".

He tweeted: "Attacking our elected representatives is an attack on democracy itself. There is no excuse, no justification. It is as cowardly as it gets."

MPs and politicians from all parties have reacted with shock to the news.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said: "Horrific and deeply shocking news. Thinking of David, his family and his staff."

Conservative MP Michael Fabricant wrote on Twitter: "David Amess is one of the most lovely, uncontentious, caring MPs in Parliament. This is just awful."

"This is truly awful news," SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford said.

"My thoughts and prayers are with David and his family."

Former prime minister David Cameron said: "Very alarming and worrying news reports coming from Leigh-on-Sea. My thoughts and prayers are with Sir David Amess and his family."

Brexit: Lord Frost says a 'big gap' remains between UK and EU over Northern Ireland Protocol - Sky News

There is a "lot of work to do" and a "big gap" remains between the UK and EU over the Northern Ireland Protocol, the Brexit minister has said.

Speaking as he arrived in Brussels for talks with his EU counterpart Maros Sefcovic, Lord Frost told reporters he was "looking forward to good discussions".

"There's a lot of work to do because there are gaps between us," he said.

Referring to the EU's proposals this week to vastly cut customs checks and paperwork associated with the protocol, Lord Frost added that the bloc has "definitely made an effort in pushing beyond where they typically go in these areas and we're quite encouraged by that".

But he continued: "There is still quite a big gap and that's what we've got to work through today and in the future."

He reiterated the UK's view that the role of the European Court of Justice should be removed from the protocol, saying: "The governance arrangements as we have them don't work.

"We need to take the court out of the system as it is now and we need to find a better way forward."

The talks come days after Lord Frost reiterated a threat to suspend post-Brexit arrangements for Northern Ireland by triggering Article 16 of the Protocol.

The protocol is a key part of the Brexit deal struck between London and Brussels and is designed to avoid a hard border on the island of Ireland.

As part of the arrangement, Northern Ireland remains under some EU rules and there are checks on goods entering Northern Ireland from Great Britain.

But having negotiated and signed up to the arrangement, the UK has now put forward proposals to change it.

Earlier this week, the EU proposed to cut 80% of checks on some goods moving from Great Britain to Northern Ireland and reduce customs paperwork by 50% in an effort to defuse the row over the protocol.

Mr Sefcovic called the proposals "far-reaching" and "ambitious" as he published four papers that officials took to London to begin immediate talks.

But the documents do not address the issue of the ECJ, which under the current agreement is the final arbiter in alleged breaches of the protocol.

Speaking to BBC Northern Ireland on Thursday, Mr Sefcovic said the bloc has stretched itself in making its offer to the UK, but insisted he has no mandate to renegotiate the protocol.

Mr Sefcovic has said the EU has stretched itself to offer far-reaching compromises but insisted he has no mandate to renegotiate the protocol.

"Now we should really do the last mile, work constructively with all the proposals we put on the table, put it finally to bed," he told The View.

"I believe that we could be in the home stretch with our proposals on the table, and, as I said, let's try to solve all these issues before Christmas because I think that would be the best Christmas gift we can give to the people of Northern Ireland."

He added: "I have no mandate to renegotiate the protocol... the withdrawal agreement, protocol and trade and co-operation agreement, we signed it, we ratified it, it's international law, and I think we should respect it."

Lorry driver shortage: Government to lift rules on foreign haulier deliveries - BBC News

The rules on the number of deliveries overseas lorry drivers can make in the UK are set to be relaxed in a bid to tackle supply chain problems in the run-up to Christmas.

Under the new plans, drivers will be able to make unlimited deliveries or collections within a 14 day period.

Currently EU drivers can only make two pick-ups or drop-offs each week.

It is hoped the changes will happen by December - but UK drivers fear they might lose work to cheaper EU rivals.

The UK's lorry driver shortage - due to a combination of Covid, Brexit and other factors - has affected petrol stations, supermarkets and left containers piled up at Felixstowe Port unable to be moved.

Retailers have also warned there could be shortages of items such as toys at Christmas, with shoppers urged to buy gifts early.

Last month, the government announced it would grant up to 5,000 temporary visas for HGV drivers from abroad - but so far only a fraction have been issued.

And the first foreign drivers brought in on the visa scheme may not even arrive for another month, sources have told BBC transport correspondent Carrie Davies.

But now ministers are going further, and plan to make temporary changes to cabotage rules, which govern how many jobs a haulier can make in a foreign country.

It means foreign HGV drivers that come into the country laden with goods can pick up and drop off items an unlimited number of times for two weeks before they return home.

The changes still need to be approved after a one-week consultation - but if passed they will come into force "towards the end of this year for up to six months", according to the government.

It would mean thousands more HGV deliveries each month, the government said, so more goods - especially food and items that come via ports - can get delivered on schedule.

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps told BBC Breakfast: "Having some additional capacity right now... it is a good idea. This is a quick way of doing it. It doesn't require visas, it's just a common sense measure.

"It is one of very many things. I don't think it is going to undercut or suppress the market."

Mr Shapps said problems with supply chains were a global issue.

He added: "It is very tight but our supply chain is pretty robust. They have worked through coronavirus and they will work through this as well."

But the haulage industry said the measures would undercut British operators.

Rod McKenzie, from the Road Haulage Association, told BBC's Today programme: "Well, I spoke to some of our members last night, and they were appalled. 'Ridiculous', 'pathetic', 'gobsmacked' were some of their more broadcastable comments.

"The government has been talking about a high-wage, high-skill economy, and not pulling the lever marked 'uncontrolled immigration', and to them this is exactly what it looks like.

"Allowing overseas haulage companies and drivers to come over for up to six months on a fortnightly basis to do unlimited work at low rates, undercutting UK hauliers who… are facing an acute driver shortage, rising costs, staff wages.

"So this is about taking work from British operators and drivers and giving it to Europeans who don't pay tax here and pay peanuts to their drivers.

"We don't want cabotage to sabotage our industry."

The Unite union has raised the prospect of possible industrial action in protest at what it sees as poor pay and conditions in the industry.

"The treatment of drivers across the board has been nothing short of a disgrace," said Unite general secretary Sharon Graham.

"As the prime minister said recently, the answer to the driver shortage is better wages and improved conditions. This is what we demand.

"Now is the time for action not words. It's time for employers to pay workers a proper rate for the job.

"Unite will be consulting its members before deciding on next steps, including exploring the options for industrial action."

Survey findings about why there are driver shortages

Mr Shapps said the long-term answer to the supply chain issues "must be developing a high-skill, high-wage economy here in the UK".

But talking about the latest measures, he said: "The temporary changes we're consulting on to cabotage rules will also make sure foreign hauliers in the UK can use their time effectively and get more goods moving in the supply chain at a time of high demand."

According to France's finance minister, the UK is faring worse in the supply chain crisis because it left the single market after Brexit.

"We are facing the same situation," said Bruno Le Maire at the G7 meeting in Washington. "But the fact that we are a member of a very important single market helps us facing these bottlenecks."

On Thursday, the government said it was also giving hundreds of foreign abattoir workers temporary visas, to help fix the shortage of workers in slaughterhouses.

The shortage of staff in abattoirs means pigs are not being killed fast enough, and there is not enough space on farms so farmers are having to kill them themselves.

Farmers have already destroyed 6,600 healthy pigs due to a backlog on farms, the National Pig Association said.

Lord Frost will tell the EU it needs to go further to resolve a clash over Northern Ireland as Brexit negotiations resume in Brussels.

British officials warned last night that the two sides are still ‘not on the same page’ as they begin talks.

The Brexit minister will push his EU counterpart Maros Sefcovic to axe the oversight of European judges in Northern Ireland.

At a lunch at the European Commission’s Berlaymont headquarters the pair will agree a timetable for what are expected to be three to four weeks of intensive talks.

One possible compromise would see the role of the European Court of Justice (ECJ) in Northern Ireland restricted.

...as Theresa’s adviser hails tough-talk tactic

Theresa May’s former Brexit adviser has said EU concessions show an ‘aggressive strategy’ is the ‘only one that works’ with Brussels.

In a major climbdown, the European Commission has offered to scrap most checks on British goods crossing to Northern Ireland.

The compromise comes after Boris Johnson threatened to take the nuclear option of suspending parts of the Brexit deal.

Raoul Ruparel tweeted that the EU’s plans were ‘definitely enough to start a negotiation over the coming weeks’, adding: ‘This will only further ingrain the view that the UK’s aggressive strategy is the only one that works with the EU...’

Disputes would be referred to an independent arbitration panel. The ECJ would be involved as a last resort only if this failed to resolve the matter.

But British government sources last night dampened expectations on whether such a solution would be acceptable.

And Health Secretary Sajid Javid signalled the Government would continue to take a tough stance as he insisted ministers have been clear that ‘one of the most important issues is to end the role of the ECJ in Northern Ireland’.

Irish premier Micheal Martin yesterday said the EU has made ‘very significant’ advances to resolve issues surrounding the Brexit deal.

In proposals published earlier this week, the European Commission offered to slash 80 per cent of regulatory checks and dramatically cut customs processes on British goods moving to Northern Ireland.

But DUP leader Sir Jeffrey Donaldson yesterday told Mr Sefcovic that proposed changes to the Northern Ireland Protocol ‘fall short of what is needed’.

Meanwhile, ‘ferret wars’ replaced sausage skirmishes as the latest unlikely Brexit battleground, so named due to a dispute over the free movement of pets across the Irish Sea.

The EU’s latest concession on border checks does not cover cats, dogs or indeed ferrets – but Lord Frost wants British pets to move freely. Tory MP Andrew Bridgen told The Daily Telegraph: ‘I would call this a ferret blockade. It is about time the EU performed a reverse ferret.’

A UK government spokesman last night said despite the concessions made by Brussels ‘it is clear there is still a substantial gap between our two positions’.

It came as French fishermen repeated threats to blockade the Channel – after the UK refused to issue permits for 35 trawlers to fish between six and 12 miles off the UK coast, where they could operate before Brexit.

Supply crisis: Overseas butchers and abattoir workers to be granted six-month seasonal worker visas to deal with pig backlog - Sky News

Butchers and abattoir workers from overseas will be granted seasonal worker visas to deal with the backlog of pigs that need to be slaughtered, the government has announced.

Agriculture Secretary George Eustice said about 800 pig butchers from overseas are needed to avoid a mass cull of up to 150,000 of the animals.

He expects to see the butchers arriving in November and they will be eligible to apply for six-month visas from the existing allocation in the Seasonal Workers Pilot Scheme up until 31 December.

It will only be temporary and is in addition to foreign butchers already being eligible, since December 2020, to apply to come to the UK through the existing skilled worker route.

Mr Eustice also announced that abattoirs will be offered private storage aid (PSA) so they can temporarily store pork before going to market to clear the backlog.

PSA is a taxpayer-funded market intervention scheme that unlocks funding for slaughtered pigs to be held in private cold stores.

The government is also changing the rules around cabotage - the loading and unloading of goods in one country - for EU truck drivers in the UK so they can do as many trips as they like in a two-week period.

However, Mr Eustice said the requirement for butchers to be fluent in English will not be dropped, as was expected.

The National Pig Association (NPA), which represents the majority of farmers affected, welcomed the intervention although it had said the requirement for butchers to speak English was "the final blocker".

The announcement came after a meeting on Monday between farmers, processors and the government's recently appointed supply chain adviser Sir Dave Lewis.

An NPA spokesman said: "We are so very relieved that the government has finally released some measures aimed at reducing the significant pig backlog on farms.

"We are working with the processors to understand the impact of these new measures and to determine exactly what will happen now, and how quickly, so that we can give pig farmers some hope and stem the flow of healthy pigs currently having to be culled on farms."

Thousands of pigs have already been culled and their carcasses incinerated at farms across England, the NPA said on Wednesday.

The shortage of butchers, which has left farmers with too many pigs on their farms, led to warnings that 10,000 pigs a week would have to be destroyed.

The agriculture secretary said the loss of staff from the pig industry has "nothing to do with Brexit".

He said: "It's a complex picture: there have been lots of market disruptions, problems with access to the Chinese market, maybe some overproduction - here production is up by about 7% - and yes, labour has been an aggravating factor but it's not been the only factor.

"The pig industry and, in common with many parts of the food industry, has seen a loss of staff as many of the EU citizens that they relied on left during the pandemic - nothing to do with Brexit.

"They were entitled to stay, but many of those chose to return to be with their families during a difficult time of the
pandemic."

The shortage of butchers affects around 1,400 farms that supply 90% of British pork through contracts with major processors.
