First Minister defends Scotland’s new hate crime law

First Minister Humza Yousaf has defended the Scottish Government's controversial new hate crime law which has come into effect today.

Critics have expressed concern that it would limit free speech and be used for vexatious complaints.

It also omits protection based on sex, although misogyny is expected to be tackled with a separate standalone Bill.

Asylum seeker sentenced to life for revenge terror killing

A Moroccan asylum seeker has been sentenced to life in jail for murder, with a minimum term of 45 years, at Teesside Crown Court.

He then stabbed and killed 70-year-old Terence Carney who was out for his regular early morning walk.
