| Monkey selfie case settled as British photographer agrees to share royalties with animal charities Posted: 11 Sep 2017 06:11 PM PDT  The long-running legal battle over who owns the royalties to the famous "monkey selfie" has been settled. David Slater, the photographer whose camera was commandeered by a crested black macaque, has agreed to donate 25 per cent of the royalties generated by the photos with animal charities dedicated to protecting the monkeys' natural habitat. The agreement brings to an end to a dispute which originated in 2011 when Mr Slater travelled to Sulawesi, Indonesia, and spent a week taking pictures of macaques. At one point he mounted the camera on a tripod and one of the monkeys started pressing the shutter button. The popularity of the pictures triggered legal action after Mr Slater asked Wikipedia to take down one of the pictures which it had published without his permission. Wikipedia refused, claiming the copyright belonged to the monkey.

It sued Mr Slater in 2015, arguing that the copyright belonged to one of the macaques, Naruto. In a bizarre hearing in San Francisco, lawyers argued not only whether a monkey could claim copyright but whether Naruto was even the correct monkey. Mr Slater, who said he made around £100 every few months from image sales of the grinning monkey, was confronted with legal bills running into thousands of pounds. Facing financial ruin he even considered giving up wildlife photography and becoming a tennis coach or dog walker instead. Finally, agreement has been reached. In a joint statement, Peta and Mr Slater said that the case raised "cutting edge issues" about the legal rights of non-human animals. "We must recognise appropriate fundamental legal rights for them as our fellow global occupants and members of their own nations who want only to live their lives and be with their families."

| Three men including two soliders charged with being members of banned neo-Nazi group National Action Posted: 11 Sep 2017 04:55 PM PDT  Three men, including two British soldiers, have been charged with terror offences as part of an investigation into the banned neo-Nazi group National Action. Five men, including four soldiers, were held on suspicion of terror offences last week and two have since been released without charge. West Midlands Police said Alexander Deakin, 22, Mikko Vehvilainen, 32, and Mark Barrett, 24, have been charged with being members of a proscribed organisation contrary to Section 11 of the Terrorism Act. Deakin and Vehvilainen have also been charged with possessing documents likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism and other offences. Deakin faces another charge of distribution of a terrorist publication and a separate charge of inciting racial hatred including concerning National Action stickers posted at Aston University campus in Birmingham in July last year. Vehvilainen is also charged with publishing material which is threatening, abusive or insulting, posting comments on a website intending to stir up racial hatred, and possessing pepper spray. Police said: "The arrests were pre-planned and intelligence-led and there was no risk to the public's safety." The three men will appear before Westminster Magistrates Court on Tuesday. The force said a man from Northampton and another from Ipswich, both aged 24, were released without charge on Saturday following inquiries. National Action is described by the Home Office as "virulently racist, anti-Semitic and homophobic." It became the first far-Right group banned by the Government after it glorified the murder of Jo Cox MP. It was banned under terrorism laws in December 2016. Police said 22 suspected members or associates of National Action were arrested last year. The proscription means that being a member of or inviting support for the organisation is a criminal offence carrying a sentence of up to 10 years' imprisonment.

| 400 hurricane survivors arrive in France, Netherlands Posted: 11 Sep 2017 03:04 PM PDT  About 400 exhausted and traumatised survivors of Hurricane Irma, which pummelled Caribbean islands last week, arrived in France and the Netherlands on Monday aboard military planes. A plane with 278 aboard landed in Paris, while another 100 people flew into Eindhoven in the southern Netherlands from the Guadeloupe capital Pointe-a-Pitre. Both the French and Dutch governments have come under criticism over delays in their responses to the crisis and in particular over how they handled outbreaks of looting on St Barthelemy and St Martin, an island with both French and Dutch sectors.
