The Telegraph: ‘A life for a life is fair – even when one of them shot my father dead’
Richard Lakin, a 76-year-old man, was brutally murdered by Hamas-affiliated terrorists in 2015 while taking a bus home from a doctor's appointment in Jerusalem. His son, Micah Avni, faces the prospect of the surviving attacker, Bilal Abu Ghanem, being released as part of a prisoner exchange.
This potential release of 70 Palestinian prisoners for four Israeli hostages has caused significant distress for Avni, who has dreaded this day for nearly a decade.

Newport City Council has faced backlash for limiting its free period product scheme to certain 'protected groups' such as LGBTQI+ individuals and asylum seekers, sparking accusations of discrimination from local residents. The council cited 'unprecedented demand' and funding constraints as reasons for the change.
Critics, including local politicians, argue that the decision unfairly disadvantages white, working-class women, while some defend the prioritization based on financial need. The council maintains its commitment to providing menstrual products to schools and community organizations regardless of background.
