A Swedish filmmaker has revealed that he is looking forward to giving evidence next month after being arrested for filming the wreckage of doomed ferry MS Estonia. Henrik Evertsson will appear in court in Gothenberg on January 27, accused of breaching an international treaty, which declared the site a marine grave and prohibited any exploration of the wreck. But the film director, who faces a two-year jail sentence if found guilty, believes that he did not contravene the 1995 treaty, signed by the governments of Sweden, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Poland, Denmark, Russia and the UK. He went to extraordinary lengths to avoid prosecution: he and his crew chartered a German boat because it was the only Baltic state not to sign the treaty and sent down a camera attached to an underwater drone. ‘I’ve been DNA tested and hauled in for an interview with the Swedish police and now on January 27, I will be going to court in Guttenberg,’ he told the Mail online.

A new TV advert fronted by Professor Chris Whitty is urging everyone in England to stay at home in a throwback to the messaging during the first lockdown. The chief medical officer is the face of the ad which is part of a campaign encouraging the public to control the spread of Covid-19. It comes as a third vaccine in the fight against coronavirus was approved for use as the UK recorded its highest number of Covid-19 deaths reported on a single day. Today 1,325 people died within 28 days of testing positive for Covid-19 - the highest number of UK deaths reported on a single day since the outbreak began. There were a further 68,053 lab-confirmed cases of coronavirus in Britain, the highest figure reported in a single day since the start of mass testing last May. Meanwhile in London, mayor Sadiq Khan declared a 'major incident' as the spread of coronavirus threatens to 'overwhelm' the capital's hospitals.

Japan has been ordered to pay $90,000 each to twelve South Korean women who were held as sex slaves during World War II in a landmark ruling on Friday. The ruling in a South Korean court, that's set to rekindle animosities between the Asian neighbors, ordered Japan to financially compensate the women who were forced to work as sex slaves for Japanese troops. Known as 'comfort women', they were raped and sexually assaulted by up to 50 Japanese soldiers a day during the second world war and left with venereal diseases, unwanted pregnancies and 'big mental scars' in the women's lives. The court said Japan's mobilization of these women as sexual slaves was 'a crime against humanity.'  The Seoul Central District Court ordered the Japanese government to give 100 million ($91,360) each to the 12 aging women who filed the lawsuits in 2013 for their wartime sexual slavery. Japan immediately protested the ruling, maintaining that all wartime compensation issue

The shocking moment an alleged drug-addled driver mounts a footpath at high speed throwing a teenager 20m into a wall has been caught on dash-cam footage. The 17-year-old boy was walking home from Casula train station with a friend when a grey Kia Carnival suddenly veered across two lanes of traffic on the Hume Highway and mounted the kerb at 12.40pm on Thursday. With no warning and nowhere to run, the van can be seen smashing into the teen at high speed, with the exact moment of impact too distressing to show readers. Dash-cam footage captured the moment, seconds before impact, that the two young men walked innocently up the footpath, not knowing that one of them would not make it home After hitting the 17-year-old teenager the Kia van continued its path of destruction down the footpath, smashing fences, sign posts and thick wooden palings for more than 100m  The boy was flung into the air travelling 20m into the side of a brick house, leaving him fighting for his life with critical h

The Trump supporter shot dead by Capitol Hill police as she attempted to climb through a broken window into the Capitol is being hailed a martyr by online extremists who have described the bullet that killed her as, 'the first shot in a revolution,' DailyMail.com can reveal. Air Force veteran Ashli Babbitt, 35, was killed as Trump loyalists stormed Congress Wednesday, halting President-elect Joe Biden's confirmation with violence and destruction that left four of the mob dead and sent shockwaves around the world. Now a murder hunt is under way for the pro-Trump rioters who killed Capitol Hill officer Brian Sicknick, who died late Thursday after apparently being hit over the head with a fire extinguisher. But far from being chastened, 'Stop the Steal' conspiracy theorists, right-wing militia groups and white supremacists are 'focused on trying to keep the energy up.'  And we can reveal that, as outrage grows over lax security that allowed protesters to breeze
