Churchill statue in London defaced and Palestine Action group wins court case

A statue of Winston Churchill outside the UK parliament in London was sprayed with red graffiti that called him a 'Zionist war criminal'. A man was arrested in connection with the incident.

Separately, the UK High Court ruled that the government's ban on the activist group Palestine Action was unlawful. The court's decision was described as a blow to government ministers, who have been given permission to appeal the ruling.
