NAP of the Day: Today’s NAPs Table horse racing tips
New CCTV car catches 1,500 illegally parked drivers in Leicester
The vehicle, which has initially cost £57,000 to buy and equip, will be funded from the income generated from penalties.Whittle said: “We know that camera enforcement and fines can be a very effective deterrent. “In its first few weeks, the CCTV enforcement car has caught hundreds of motorists flouting parking rules. “They will now face a fine, but more importantly receive a strong message that illegal and dangerous parking will not go unpunished.”We are confident that the new CCTV enforcement will be an effective tool to clamp down on dangerous and inconsiderate parking, especially in areas where there are lots of children and busy traffic.”The council previously used a similar vehicle, which it leased from Nottingham City Council between August and December 2019.It patrolled city streets, enforcing double yellow lines and school gate restrictions, which resulted in more than 100 fines being issued to drivers.
Cambridge University fails to suspend students who threatrened to kill classmate over Israel trip
Cambridge University has faced criticism for declining to suspend students who allegedly made death threats against a fellow undergraduate following his visit to Israel.Bradley Smart, a 21-year-old third-year student at Homerton College, participated in a trip organised by the Pinsker Centre think tank, which brought Oxbridge student leaders to meet both Israelis and Palestinians to gain insight into the Gaza conflict.Upon his return to college, Mr Smart, who is not Jewish, claims identifiable students posted threatening messages in a group chat, including phrases such as “I’m going to kill him” and “he needs to die”.After reporting the threats through official harassment procedures, the college reportedly advised him to contact welfare services or consider relocating to different accommodation.The group chat messages also contained slurs, degrading language, and antisemitic material, drawing comparisons between Israel and Nazi Germany, according to Mr Smart.Fearing for his personal safety, he vacated his Homerton accommodation approximately one month after the incidents began.Mr Smart told The Telegraph: “As a Cambridge student, I expected my university to be a place where opinions could be refined through dialogue. “The reality, however, was that this trip was enough to trigger a campaign of cancellation, including explicit death threats and being banned from a college club.”Cambridge University has declined to suspend students who allegedly made death threats against a fellow undergraduate following his visit to Israel | GETTYWhen he approached police about the matter, Mr Smart claims officers informed him it constituted an “academic matter” and declined to pursue an investigation.Lord Walney, who previously served as the Government’s counter-extremism tsar, condemned the institution’s handling of the situation.He said: “It is entirely unacceptable that students at one of our leading universities would threaten to kill one of their peers for visiting Israel. “The college’s response is wholly inadequate, and sets a dangerous precedent that intimidation and threats of political violence will be tolerated. Cambridge must do better.”Bradley Smart, a 21-year-old third-year student at Homerton College | GOOGLEBen Freeman, executive director of the Pinsker Centre, warned: “Jewish students and their allies are in fear for their lives. “After recent attacks, this fear is all the more justified. Threats of violence cannot be normalised. We cannot allow intimidation to shut down dialogue.”Gabrielle Apfel, president of the Cambridge Israel Society, described the university as having become “a lion’s den with regard to Israel and Zionism” over the past two and a half years.Ms Apfel added that the Cambridge Israel Society has hosted progressive speakers, including former Labour MPs, yet still considers it necessary to keep event locations confidential.Bradley Smart participated in a trip organised by the Pinsker Centre think tank, which brought Oxbridge student leaders to meet both Israelis and Palestinians | REUTERSShe said: “Jewish and Israeli students feel like they have to keep their connections to Israel and their identities to themselves. No student should feel unable to be themselves because of their background or identity.”The allegations emerge amid escalating anti-Israel sentiment across Britain’s elite universities.An Oxford student faced charges last year for inciting racial hatred after leading chants calling to “put the Zios in the ground”.Violent incidents targeting British Jews have also risen sharply in recent months, with two Jewish men stabbed in Golders Green, north London, last week.
Family pay tribute to ‘wonderful’ teenager killed by fallen tree in park
Dubickas refereed football games on the weekend (Staffordshire Police)Family have paid tribute to a “wonderful” teenage boy who was “tragically and unfairly” killed by a fallen tree in a park on Saturday.Brodan Dubickas, 15, died at the scene in Holmcroft Road, Stafford at 7.30pm while he was playing with his friends in the park.His parents and three siblings, Corey, Kayla and Amelia, put out a statement via Staffordshire Police on Monday.“He truly was the best of us. His kindness and generosity were unmatched, and he lit up a room with his humour and his smile. You won’t find any bad words said about him, he was loved by so many,” they said of the teenager.Dubickas was a talented pool player (Staffordshire Police)A fan of playing pool, Dubickas played competitively four nights a week for the Luck Penny or Staffordshire Bull, his family said. He also loved football, playing for Stafford Falcons and refereeing multiple times a weekend.“He was able to do all this whilst still prioritising spending time with family and friends.”He was described as a “wonderful big brother” whose three siblings were heartbroken to lose their eldest brother.“He was always there for them,” the family said.“As parents, are lives have been shattered and will never be the same. The pain is unbearable, and the hole that has been left can never be filled. His massive potential will now never be realised, and this is, in itself, a tragedy.Dubickas’ school put out a statement on Sunday (Staffordshire Police)“We have been overwhelmed by the support, generosity and love, sent from far and wide, to both the family and Brodan. The tributes have been vast and incredibly touching. This is a credit to our son, and it goes to show the impact Brodan was able to have on those around him in his short life. For which, we can only say thank you.”Dubickas’ old school, Tillington Manor Primary School, paid tribute on Sunday to the “kind-hearted, respectful” former pupil.“He was a truly special young man; kind-hearted, respectful and full of warmth. He approached school life with curiosity and determination, and his gentle nature and positive spirit left a lasting impression on both staff and pupils alike,” said headteacher Mrs K Brockhurst.“It is incredibly difficult to comprehend that a life with so much promise has been cut so short, and our whole community is deeply saddened by this loss.”Mrs Brockhurst continued: “Although Brodan had moved on from Tillington Manor, he will always remain a valued part of our school family. We know that many within our community will be feeling this loss deeply, and our thoughts are with everyone who knew and cared for him.“We will look to honour and remember Brodan in a way that reflects the impact he had on our school and community, and in liaison with his family, at the right time.”
Everton player ratings as Thierno Barry outstanding in thrilling Man City draw
Everton player ratings from Chris Beesley following the 3-3 Premier League draw with Manchester City at Hill Dickinson Stadium on Monday night22:16, 04 May 2026Updated 23:44, 04 May 2026Thierno Barry celebrates after scoring for Everton against Manchester CityEverton were denied a famous victory over Manchester City at Hill Dickinson Stadium as they conceded in stoppage time for the third straight game to draw 3-3 in a pulsating encounter.After falling behind to Jeremy Doku’s 43rd-minute strike, David Moyes’ men turned the contest on its head in a wild second half as substitute Thierno Barry bagged a brace (68, 81) either side of Jake O’Brien heading the Blues in front.However, the home side were left to rue some big misses by Iliman Ndiaye as Erling Haaland (83) reduced arrears soon after their second goal, and with just seconds remaining, Doku netted his second goal of the evening to snatch a point for Pep Guardiola’s side.READ JOE THOMAS’ MUST-READ BIG-MATCH VERDICT RIGHT HEREREAD WHAT DAVID MOYES HAD TO SAY ON NEW PENALTY CONTROVERSY RIGHT HEREAnd here is how we rated the players…Jordan Pickford 6Made a smart save to deny Rayan Cherki and has had to remain alert throughout but couldn’t get close enough to Doku’s top-class effort to open the scoring.Jake O’Brien 6For a natural centre-half, it’s an unenviable task to be asked to keep Jeremy Doku quiet, yet he is hanging in there in game fashion, and it was when the Belgian popped up on the other side of the area that he made the crucial breakthrough.Vitalii Mykolenko 6Like O’Brien on the opposite flank, he’s got his work cut out against the dangerous Antoine Semenyo, but while he is sticking to that task, it was Cherki who he was unable to stop in the build-up to the goal.James Tarkowski 6The Everton captain got himself in a spat with Abdukodir Khusanov after pulling the Uzbek’s jersey and has been kept busy marshalling his defence.Michael Keane 6Held his nerve to block a close-range effort from Nico O’Reilly but was booked just before the break for bringing down goalscorer Doku.Tim Iroegbunam 6In for the injured Idrissa Gueye, he’s providing the athleticism Everton need against a slick City side, where his off-the-ball work has been as valuable as what he’s done in possession.James Garner 5Finds himself as the senior partner in the engine room with Idrissa Gueye out, but while he’s plugging away as usual, we haven’t seen any great moments of quality, and while he tried to close down Doku late in the first half, he couldn’t get close enough to him to prevent his quality strike.Merlin Rohl 6Starting for the first time since the 1-0 win at Aston Villa in January, he’s playing on the right wing and made a charging run up the flank to almost set up Beto just after the half-hour mark.Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall 6Gave away a soft free-kick when Rayan Cherki rolled around the turf, which unfortunately set the tone that Everton weren’t going to be allowed to battle for this, but he’s been an energetic presence, trying to make things happen.Iliman Ndiaye 5Enjoyed one of his best 45 minutes in an Everton shirt in the first half of the reverse fixture at the Etihad Stadium, but he hasn’t had much joy here so far.Beto 6Working hard against City’s defenders, but the ball isn’t finding its way up to him very often, other than when Rohl’s cross almost found its way to him.SUBSThierno Barry (on 64 for Beto) 9Impact substitute, he read Marc Guehi’s back pass perfectly to hold his nerve and slot past Donnarumma to equalise, despite the effort initially being ruled out for offside and then added a third with a cool finish from Rohl’s pass.Nathan Patterson (on 92 for Rohl)Slipped right at the end to allow Doku in for the equaliser.Charly Alcaraz (on 92 for Dewsbury-Hall)Late opportunity on the break as Everton countered when Donnarumma came up for a corner.Harrison Armstrong (on 96 for Iroegbunam)Cameo in the dying seconds.

Newarke Houses reopens after winter closure
Leicester’s Newarke Houses museum is reopening after its first winter closure, following the introduction of reduced opening hours last year.The social history and regimental museum will operate on Saturdays until the end of August and Wednesdays during school holidays.Audience development manager Mark Simmons said staff had been working behind the scenes to present a new room, looking at the first owner of the building, John Whatton.”He is a really interesting guy. He refused allegiance to the king, which was a serious deal in those days and luckily they fined him, he refused to pay and then gave the money away to some of the alms houses in the city,” said Simmons.

‘Corner shop’ shut down by police after links to criminality
Shop had replaced popular arts hub in south Liverpool community but has now been issued with a closure order10:58, 04 May 2026Updated 12:52, 04 May 2026The Corner Shop on Aigburth Road has been shut down over links to criminality A ‘corner shop’ that replaced a popular south Liverpool arts store has been shut down after being linked to criminality and anti-social behaviour.The business, called The Corner Shop and situated at the corner of Aigburth Road and Allington Street in Aigburth, opened last year. The shop, which sold tobacco, vapes, sweets and American drinks, replaced the popular Arts Hub 47, which displayed the work of local artists for a number of years.The Corner Shop followed a similar trend to a large number of other so-called convenience stores that have popped up around Liverpool in recent years in terms of the products it was selling and the brightly-lit design of the store.But in recent days, local people have noticed the business has been shut down, with a notice placed on its shutters.That notice states: “Closed. Liverpool City Council, working in close partnership with Merseyside Police, have obtained a closure order to protect your neighbourhood from the criminality and anti-social behaviour taking place at this property.”On the specific closure order, posted below this sign, it explains the business was shut down on April 8 after the council applied for the order for a period of three months, starting from April 9.With the business owners not attending the subsequent court case, it was found either the use of the premises or a person at the premises had resulted in disorderly, offensive or criminal behaviour or that this would likely occur without such an order being made.The Corner Shop on Aigburth Road has been shut down over links to criminality The closure order prohibits access by all people at all times to the premises in question, unless they have written permission from the council to do so or are a member of the emergency services.The order adds: “Any person who without reasonable excuse remains on or enters the premises in contravention of a closure order commits an offence and is liable on summary conviction to imprisonment for a period not exceeding 6 months or to a fine or both.”While the details of this case and what has led to the closure order are not yet known, the ECHO has written previously about some of the issues with the proliferation of these sorts of businesses across the city.Last May we asked, if the remarkable volume of brightly-lit stores selling vapes, crisps and drinks are good for the wider fabric of the city.A recent BBC investigation found, across the country, shopfronts are being exploited by organised criminal gangs who are using them to push illegal drugs.The Home Office has said it is working with the police, the National Crime Agency and Trading Standards on this growing issue.
