BREAKING
Russian Ministry of Defense: 37 Ukrainian drones destroyed in 4 hours over regions of Russia and the Black Sea.
Sheikh Qassem: Our supporters make up more than half of Lebanon's population, and all of these people are united under the banner of protecting Lebanon, its Resistance, its people, and its integrity.
Sheikh Qassem: There will be no phased handing in of our arms. [The Israelis] must first enact the agreement before we start talking about a defensive strategy.
Sheikh Qassem: Be brave in the face of foreign pressures, and we will be by your side in this stance.
Sheikh Qassem: Stripping us of our arms is like stripping us of our very soul, and this will prompt us to show them our might.
Sheikh Qassem: We will not abandon our arms, for they gave us dignity; we will not abandon our arms, for they protect us against our enemy.
Sheikh Qassem: The US efforts we are seeing are aimed at sabotaging Lebanon and constitute a call for sedition.
Sheikh Qassem: If you truly want to establish sovereignty and work for Lebanon’s interests, then stop the aggression.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States, which is meddling in Lebanon, is not trustworthy but rather poses a danger to it.
Sheikh Qassem: The United States is preventing the weapons that protect the homeland.

Carrick reportedly committed an offense before joining the Met police in August 2001.

Sources said that the police issued a formal apology to the victims for failing to give Carrick proper disciplinary measures or firing him over his acts of sexual misconduct.

"We should have spotted his pattern of abusive behavior and because we didn't, we missed opportunities to remove him from the organization," the Metropolitan Police Assistant Commissioner for Professionalism, Barbara Gray, told reporters.

A similar event happened last month when the Met Police announced it suspended and arrested one of its officers, Rupert Edwards, for the count of two sexual offenses.
