Jonathan Lee is a Romani activist from Wales, working at the European Roma Rights Centre. For the Romani families living in Nea Zoi, an informal neighbourhood near Aspropyrgos, Greece, the pre-dawn hum of surveillance drones has become a regular soundtrack to their lives. By daybreak, K-9 units and tactical police have blocked narrow dirt roads, police in riot gear have formed a perimeter around the neighbourhood, and armed officers are breaking through doors to makeshift homes, all under the banner of "public order". Since late 2025, this routine has repeated with terrifying regularity: at least 76 raids in six months, involving 473 officers, targeting 152 Romani communities across Greece. Documented by the European Roma Rights Centre as the most extensive anti-Roma police operation in decades, these actions are presented by Greek politicians as a tactical response to organised crime.

A brave eight-year-old boy helped save his grandad after the pair drifted more than two miles (3km) from the coast on a capsized kayak. Marley and his granscha, David Dai Jones, from Mountain Ash, Rhondda Cynon Taf, had been kayaking off Fontygary in the Vale of Glamorgan on 27 May when they capsized and were unable to get back onboard. Dai managed to help Marley back onto the kayak but could not climb back on himself. He remained in the water holding on as the pair drifted in the strong Bristol Channel currents. Despite the frightening situation, Marley remained calm and used a mobile phone kept in a waterproof pouch to contact his nan on shore, who called 999.

How does live facial recognition work and how many police forces use it? Britain's biometrics watchdogs have warned that national oversight of AI-powered face scanning to catch criminals is lagging far behind the technology's rapid growth. With the Metropolitan police almost doubling the number of faces they scan in London over the past 12 months and a rising use of the technology by retailers in the UK, Prof William Webster, the biometrics commissioner for England and Wales, said the "slow pace of legislation was trying to catch up with the real world" and "the horse had gone before the cart". Dr Brian Plastow, who holds the same role in Scotland, warned the technology was "nowhere near as effective as the police claim it is" and said there was a "patchwork legal framework" throughout the UK. He said in England and Wales, police were "really just marking their own homework".
