A barrister who falsely accused her married lover of rape and then arranged to be stabbed in order to frame him, has been jailed for life. Anisah Ahmed, 33, embarked on a twisted plot to destroy fellow lawyer Iqbal Mohammed's life, after discovering he was married in 2014. The couple met after she contacted him when he appeared in a BBC documentary called The Barristers and they began an intimate relationship. But on realising she had been betrayed she set about getting revenge, with Mr Mohammed claiming he was left feeling like the Michael Douglas character in the film Fatal Attraction. Her campaign started when she sent details of their affair to his wife and colleagues and demanded his legal chambers launch an investigation into his integrity. She then created a fake email account in Mr Mohammed's name and sent threatening messages to herself. As a result of the false allegations, Mr Mohammed was arrested in front of his colleagues and taken to a police station where he was questioned for several hours. He was subsequently cleared when IT experts discovered that the emails had been falsified and Ahmed was arrested on suspicion of harassment. Despite being charged with the offence, Ahmed escalated her campaign against her former lover, telling police that he had repeatedly raped her. Oxford Crown Court was told: "Her complaint was detailed and convincing, even though it was completely false. "Her purpose was twofold - revenge and to divert the police attention away from herself and back onto Mr Mohammed. In the short term it worked. Mr Mohammed was again arrested and interviewed."

(Reuters) -Europe's drug regulator has found a possible link between Johnson & Johnson's COVID-19 vaccine and rare blood clotting issues in adults who received doses in the United States, but backed its overall benefits against any risks. The European Medicines Agency (EMA) said on Tuesday its safety committee had concluded that a warning about unusual blood clots with low platelets must be added to the vaccine's labels, just as has also been required of rival shot maker AstraZeneca.

Johnny Mercer, the Veterans’ Minister, was sacked by text message on Tuesday as he accused Boris Johnson of lacking the “moral strength and courage” to protect ex-soldiers from prosecution in Northern Ireland. Mr Mercer, a former captain in the Army, had told Number 10 of his intention to resign on Monday night but was fired 24 hours later in a pre-emptive strike. Mr Mercer last night posted on Twitter a letter of resignation he had originally planned to make public today in which he criticised the prime minister for continuing “to say all the right things” but failing “to match that with what we deliver”. He complained that Mr Johnson’s Government had “abandoned our people in a way I simply cannot reconcile” and added: “Whilst endless plans are promised… veterans are being sectioned, drinking themselves to death and dying well before their time – simply because the UK Government cannot find the moral strength or courage … to stop these appalling injustices.” Mr Mercer had become increasingly frustrated with the lack of progress and had clashed with Ben Wallace, the Defence Secretary, and Brandon Lewis, the Northern Ireland Secretary.
