These are the headlines we are tracking for you in this episode of On the News Line:
British PM May refusing to release terror report
The British government’s ties with the kingdom of Saudi Arabia are once again under the microscope. Prime Minister Theresa May is facing mounting pressure over her refusal to release the findings of a Home Office inquiry into foreign funding of British terrorist groups. The investigation was authorized by former prime minister David Cameron in January last year. The report is widely believed to have identified Saudi Arabia as the main sponsor of terrorism in the United Kingdom.
Concerns rising over spread of Islamophobia in Europe
Concerns are once again rising in Britain over an increase in the number of attacks on Muslims in the country. East London is specifically an area which has witnessed a surge in acid attacks on Muslims. The police describe such incidents as instances of hate crime. But Muslim communities say Islamophobia is involved. It appears that Muslims are not the only targets in East London acid attacks. Anyone of Asian appearance is to the same degree at risk.
