‘We need help’: Workers say shoplifting is ‘out of control’ as brazen thefts explode | UK News

Published by Sam

A woman casually walks into a convenience store and starts filling a bread crate with goods from one of the aisles. A shop assistant tries to stop her, but she shrugs him off, undeterred. With the crate now full of items, she leaves without paying. It is a scenario that is played out day in and day out across Britain, as retailers warn the surge in shoplifting is now “out of control”. Image: Four in five store owners tell Sky News they’ve experienced shoplifting in the last week. I’m sitting in the security office of a busy city centre shop and I’m watching as a schoolboy walks in and helps himself to a sandwich, stuffing it into his jacket. Watching with me is shop worker Anton Mavroianu who positions himself by the main entrance waiting for the youngster to leave. When the boy does leave, Anton demands the item back. Instead of being frozen with fear that he’s been caught, the boy laughs and walks off. “All we can do is try to stop them,” …

Dear Therapist: I Explode When I’m Dealing With My Brother

Dear Therapist: I Explode When I’m Dealing With My Brother

Published by skeptic

Dear Therapist, My older brother and I are both in our 30s and have gone through periods of being close and periods with a lot of conflict. The general pattern is he says something mean or belittling to me, and in response, I get angry and scream, and my upset is always disproportionate to the situation. I have struggled throughout my life to manage anger appropriately, and my family knows this. Thanks to therapy and an anger-management group, I no longer react this way with other people, and I am able to communicate my feelings and resolve conflict like a mature adult. But with my brother, I react automatically and rapidly, before I can think logically or process the situation. Several months ago, my brother was visiting from out of town after our elderly great aunt died. The day after the funeral, we were at our parents’ house for a dinner with extended family, and before guests arrived, I was helping my mom put food and drinks out while my brother and dad sat on …

WW3 fears explode as ‘network of Russian agents’ poised to attack NATO officials | World | News

Published by skeptic

World War 3 fears have exploded after an expert warned “networks of Russian agents” around the globe that could potentially be used to attack NATO officials. The comments come following a report from a US official this weekend suggesting that Russia was behind an incident involving a US Defence Department official at a NATO summit in Lithuania last year. The Pentagon confirmed on Monday that a senior Defence Department official who attended the 2023 summit in Vilnius had symptoms similar to those reported by US officials who have experienced “Havana syndrome.” Still under investigation, Havana syndrome includes a string of health problems dating back to 2016, when officials working at the US Embassy in Havana reported sudden unexplained head pressure, head or ear pain, or dizziness. The Pentagon’s statement was part of a “60 Minutes” report on Sunday that suggested Russia was behind the incident at last year’s summit. Mykola Volkivskyi, a former advisor to Ukraine’s parliament, exclusively told the Daily Express that Russia has a “network of agents around the world” that could potentially …

Putin’s latest threat ‘will lead to WW3’ as Ukraine conflict poised to explode in Europe | World | News

Published by skeptic

Despite this, the Russian President has also recently dismissed fears that Russia would attack NATO countries as “drivel”. According to Lt Col Paasikivi, these threats and warnings from Putin are all part of the Kremlin’s narrative that the West is the aggressor in the conflict and Russia is the victim. He told The Mirror.: “For Putin, it is important to constantly present the West as the major threat to the domestic audience. The West’s so-called nuclear threat is at the centre of the entire Russian narrative. Putin has repeatedly talked about the possibility of nuclear war since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022. He’s said more than once that he might use nuclear weapons if things go too far. But now, Putin is saying something new that could tell us what he and his military leaders are really afraid of. Lt Paasikivi added: “The same threats have been made in the past, but to so explicitly identify the F-16s and strike targets in the West is new.” Putin is worried about Ukraine getting F-16 fighter …

Police will throw a physical “ring of steel” around Sunday night’s Oscar ceremony to thwart terror threats and expected mass protests in Hollywood. More than a mile of eight-foot-high chain link fencing and scores of crush barriers will surround the Academy Awards at LA’s Dolby Theatre, where more than 500 uniformed officers will be supported by a small army of 2,000 private security guards. FBI counter-terrorism experts will also be on standby as a huge stretch of famous Hollywood Boulevard is completely closed off to the public, with scores of CCTV cameras and surveillance drones monitoring the entire area. LAPD Commander Randy Goddard, who is leading the biggest-ever security operation in Oscar history, said his officers will maintain a high-profile presence to “prevent disruptions by demonstrators.” He added: “The LAPD is preparing for all potential protests, including protests regarding the Israel-Hamas conflict. The LAPD will also manage any potential blockades around the venue to make sure that guests can safely enter. Officers are working closely with event organisers and security agencies, implementing comprehensive measures to …
