Driver jailed 10 years for killing cyclist Harry Webb at 53mph in 20mph zone New

Driver jailed 10 years for killing cyclist Harry Webb at 53mph in 20mph zone

Harry Webb with his parents Mike and Patricia (Picture: Wales News Service) As cyclist Harry Webb was killed, he was on the phone with his parents, thanking them for helping him move into his new flat just hours before. Harry, a master’s student at the London College of Contemporary Music, moved in with a friend from university the morning of his death with the help of his parents Patricia and Mike in September 2023. They had driven four hours from the family home in Crickhowell, Wales, to help their only child feel settled in Hackney. Patricia told Metro: ‘It was a boiling hot day, but we managed to get all of his stuff in. We then took him for lunch, and we said goodbye, thinking we were going to see in just a few days when he comes to visit home.’ They did the long drive back home, and were finally sat relaxing on their patio, when Harry, 27, rang. Using his hands-free device with his helmet on, he wanted to say thank you to his parents as he cycled from his new place. ‘But then it all went silent,’ Patricia said. Harry was ‘incredibly intelligent’ and had just started the second year of his master’s degree (Picture: PA) He had moved in with a friend from university the morning of his death (Picture: Wales News Service) Sensing something was wrong, the parents began screaming, in the hope he will come back to the phone. Instead, a stranger began speaking to them. Patricia said: ‘They just said there had been a crash, and for a while all we could hear were sirens.’ Harry had been hit by Tifffany Treanor-Johnson, 27. She was driving at 53mph on a 20mph road, and inhaled nitrous oxide before getting behind the wheel of her Audi. Despite travelling from Crickhowell, to London, and back again that day, the parents jumped straight back in the car. It was during this drive that they received a call from Harry’s surgeon. He told them to pull over, before saying Harry did not have much time left. Tiffany Treanor-Johnson has been sentenced to 10 years (Picture: Wales News Service) Before midnight, they were back in London, at their son’s bedside. They stayed there for another two days, before Harry died. Patricia said: ‘It’s so unfortunate his life was taken away from him. It’s the stupidity of it all, which really upsets us.’ They described their son as ‘incredibly bright, incredibly unique and incredibly loved’. He studied maths and philosophy at Bristol, before deciding to do a Master’s in music production in the capital. His mum Patricia said: ‘He was a star pupil without trying. He got five A-Levels just because he wanted to do.’ Harry was also a passionate cyclist, insisting he ‘did not need a car in London’ and was ‘very safety conscious’ always reminding people to wear helmets. Despite wearing his own, he suffered a serious head injury, with doctors removing part of his skull in an attempt to ease the swelling on his brain. After Harry died, police showed them the footage of the scene. Treanor-Johnson had left the scene, and turned into a side street, hitting another car. It was up to the other drivers to do a police style stop to get them to stop driving. Treanor-Johnson was jailed for 10 years on Friday. She had initially denied causing death by dangerous driving before admitting her guilt in April this year. In a statement outside court, Mike called for road crimes to be taken more seriously and enforcement to be stepped up. He said: ‘Nobody should be killed cycling within a 20mph area in London, it is totally unacceptable. ‘The ripples caused by his death have been immense for so many people unable to come to terms with this senseless road crime.’ Harry has been awarded his master’s degree posthumously. ‘He had his life planned out,’ ‘Patricia said. ‘He was so happy. People warmed to him, because he was fearless but without any arrogance.’ She added: ‘So many people have come forward to say how much they loved him. He brough a dollop of generosity and sunshine to everything he did.’

Još nisu objavljena 26 imena: studenti pitaju da li su pomilovani Vesić, Selaković i Hrkalović

Goran Vesić i Nikola Selaković Foto: Filip Krainčanić/Nova.rs autor: 11. okt. 2026. 20:46 Studentski pokret saopštio je da se u javnoststi spekuliše da se među 49 osoba koje je bivši predsednik Aleksandar Vučić pomilovao ili abolirao neposredno pre podnošenja ostavke nalaze bivši ministar Goran Vesić, ministar kulture u tehničkom mandatu Nikola Selaković i nekadašnja državna sekretarka MUP-a Dijana Hrkalović. Oglas Oni su na sajtu blokade.org naveli da je prošlo skoro dve nedelje od ovog akta, a da javnosti i dalje nisu poznata imena 26 pomilovanih. U saopštenju se navodi da se Vesićevo ime pominje u vezi sa postupkom zbog pada nadstrešnice na železničkoj stanici u Novom Sadu, Selakovićevo u slučaju "Generalštab", a Hrkalovićkino zbog postupaka koji su se protiv nje vodili za trgovinu uticajem.Autori saopštenja navode da bi eventualno oslobađanje od krivičnog gonjenja za dela obuhvaćena pomilovanjem moglo dovesti do obustavljanja postupaka bez konačne sudske odluke o krivici, zbog čega su zatražili hitno objavljivanje svih 49 imena, odluka o pomilovanju i prateće dokumentacije.Ukazali su i da je ministarstvo pravde saopštilo da nije učestvovalo u postupku pomilovanja niti će učestvovati u sprovođenju odluke, iako prema Zakonu o pomilovanju ima ulogu u toj proceduri.Viši sud u Beogradu i Tužilaštvo za organizovani kriminal, dodaje se, početkom oktobra saopštili su da nisu primili odluke o pomilovanju u predmetima koje vode.U saopštenju se postavlja i pitanje statusa studenata i građana protiv kojih se vode postupci nakon protesta, uz zahtev da se jednaka pravila primenjuju na sve osumnjičene i optužene.

Netanyahu chiede un’indagine per identificare i soldati anonimi del documentario Naza New

Netanyahu chiede un’indagine per identificare i soldati anonimi del documentario Naza

Il primo ministro israeliano Benjamin Netanyahu ha chiesto di aprire un indagine sui soldati apparsi nel documentario Naza dei registi Yuval Abraham e Rachel Szor. Lo scopo del leader israeliano è quello di indagare sui reati che sarebbero stati commessi dai membri delle forze armate, e soprattutto identificare coloro che hanno scelto di denunciare, in forma anonima, i crimini commessi ai danni dei palestinesi. Netanyahu: "Scoprire l'identità dei soldati anonimi" La richiesta di aprire un'indagine è stata inviata da Netanyahu con una lettera formale ai vertici delle forze militari e della giustizia. Tra i destinatari c'è infatti il Capo di Stato Maggiore dell'Idf, Eyal Zamir; il capo dell'agenzia di intelligence Shin Bet, David Zini; e il procuratore generale Gali Baharav-Miara. Per tutti il mandato è lo stesso: avviare un'indagine penale sui soldati apparsi in forma anonima nel documentario Naza a causa dei "gravi reati in materia di sicurezza informatica, diffamazione e per aver leso gli interessi diplomatici e di sicurezza di Israele". Secondo quanto riporta il Times of Israel, il primo ministro sostiene che sussistano "timori che le persone coinvolte nel film abbiano commesso reati gravi che comportano la divulgazione di informazioni riservate e una violazione della sicurezza informatica da parte di un'unità di intelligence altamente sensibile". Non è tutto: per Netanyahu gli inquirenti dovrebbero "scoprire l'identità dei soldati apparsi nel film". Cos'è il documentario Naza Il documentario di Yuval Abraham e Rachel Szor racconta la sistematica uccisione dei civili palestinesi, vittime collaterali chiamate appunto "Naza" dai militari dell'esercito israeliano. Il governo israeliano nei giorni scorsi aveva già condannato il documentario e annunciato l'intenzione di revocare la cittadinanza ai registi, accusandoli di tradimento. Nonostante la repressione interna, Naza è uno dei film più visti in Europa, e in particolare è in testa al botteghino italiano. Intervenuta alla seconda edizione di Rumore, il Festival di Fanpage.it, Francesca Albanese, relatrice speciale Onu sui territori palestinesi occupati, ha sottolineato il valore dell'opera: "I registi hanno fatto un lavoro incredibile, e mi dispiace che in Israele non vogliano vederlo. Se non vogliono credere neanche all'ammissione di colpevolezza dei soldati, allora cosa ci dobbiamo aspettare?".

Nach 561 Dooring-Unfällen: SP-Nationalrat will den Holländergriff gesetzlich vorschreiben New

Nach 561 Dooring-Unfällen: SP-Nationalrat will den Holländergriff gesetzlich vorschreiben

Ein Autofahrer hält am Strassenrand und beantwortet eine Whatsapp-Nachricht. Danach öffnet er die Tür, um auszusteigen. Weil er nicht aufgepasst hat, übersieht er den Velofahrer, der angebraust kommt. Dieser knallt in die Türe, verletzt sich und verursacht auch noch Sachschaden an Fahrrad und Auto. Solche sogenannten «Dooring»-Unfälle kommen in der Schweiz immer wieder vor. Gemäss einer Studie geschahen zwischen 2012 und 2021 561 solcher Unfälle mit rund 50 Verletzten pro Jahr. SP-Nationalrat Hasan Candan will deshalb eine neue Vorschrift, wie Autofahrer die Türe zu öffnen haben. Holländergriff soll obligatorisch werden und Unfälle verhindern Der Luzerner will Artikel 21 der Verkehrsregelnverordnung ergänzen mit der Pflicht, dass der Holländergriff vorgeschrieben wird. Das heisst, dass die Türe immer mit der entfernten Hand zu öffnen ist. «Die Zahl der Dooring-Unfälle nimmt kontinuierlich zu. Die verunfallten Personen erleiden dabei oft schwere Verletzungen und müssen ambulant in der Notaufnahme von Spitälern oder sogar stationär behandelt werden», erklärt der Vizepräsident von Pro Velo seinen neuen Vorstoss. Der Holländergriff würde Autofahrende zu einer Oberkörperdrehung zwingen, wodurch sie automatisch über die Schulter in den rückwärtigen Verkehr blicken würden. «Mir geht es nicht primär darum, Autofahrende zu bestrafen, hier würde ich in der Umsetzung für zurückhaltende Sanktionen wie Bussen sprechen», so Candan. Zentral sei «die Sensibilisierung und dass der Holländergriff ein fester Bestandteil der Fahrprüfung wird». SVP-Hess: «Völliger Blödsinn und nicht kontrollierbar» Kein Verständnis für die Forderung zeigt der ausgebildete Lastwagenfahrer und SVP-Nationalrat Erich Hess. Gegenseitige Rücksichtnahme sollte eine Selbstverständlichkeit sein im Strassenverkehr, sagt er. «Es braucht aber sicher kein Gesetz dafür, wie jemand die Türe öffnet, das ist völliger Blödsinn und auch nicht kontrollierbar», sagt der Berner. Alle Autofahrenden würden in der Ausbildung lernen, dass ein Blick in den Rückspiegel vor dem Öffnen der Türe wichtig sei. «Hinzu kommt, dass Velofahrende sich an der eigenen Nase nehmen müssen. Sie sollten eigenverantwortlich genügend Abstand halten, gerade bei stehenden Autokolonnen», so Hess. Gröbere Unfälle würden dann entstehen, wenn Velofahrer zu schnell unterwegs seien und nicht aufpassen. «Vor allem die E-Bike-Fahrer in den Quartieren sind eine Zumutung und teilweise gefährlich», ärgert er sich. Nun ist Verkehrsminister Albert Rösti am Zug, der zur Idee Stellung nehmen muss.

7 Memory Distortions That Make Arguments Harder to Resolve New

7 Memory Distortions That Make Arguments Harder to Resolve

1. Stress narrows attention to the apparent threatDuring conflict, attention often locks onto whatever feels most threatening: a raised voice, a cutting phrase or the possibility of rejection. Other details may never be encoded clearly enough to remember later. One person recalls, “You called me irresponsible,” while missing the explanation that followed; the other remembers the explanation and barely registers the insult. This is not necessarily dishonesty. They may have attended to different moments, although stress affects people and situations differently.2. Memory rebuilds the exchange instead of replaying itMemory is reconstructive: people retain fragments and rebuild the event using context, expectations and later information. That process can produce a coherent account without producing an exact transcript. After a tense discussion about money, “Can we reconsider this purchase?” may later be remembered as “You said I waste money,” especially if that matches an existing concern. Treating recollection as a summary rather than a recording makes it easier to compare specific words, actions and interpretations separately.3. Your interpretation can become part of the memoryPeople do not store words independently from what those words seemed to mean. Over time, the interpretation may become difficult to distinguish from the original statement. If a partner says, “I need tonight alone,” someone might later recall, “You said you did not want me around.” The feeling of rejection is real, but the remembered wording may be an inference. Asking, “What was actually said, and what did I take it to mean?” helps separate two important layers.4. Later retellings can quietly change the original accountEach retelling selects certain details and leaves out others. Repeated versions can then influence what feels like the original memory, particularly when friends supply interpretations. “She interrupted me twice” might gradually become “She never let me speak” after several conversations centred on disrespect. The broader claim may capture the speaker’s experience, but it is less precise. Writing down key details soon after an important dispute can preserve an earlier account, though notes are still one person’s perspective.5. Repeated claims can feel more familiar and credibleRepetition increases familiarity, and familiarity can sometimes be mistaken for evidence. In a long-running disagreement, saying “You always cancel plans” many times may make the claim feel increasingly established, even when both people have stopped checking particular occasions. A useful reset is to replace the repeated summary with examples: which plans, on what dates and under what circumstances? This does not reduce relationships to bookkeeping; it tests whether a broad pattern is accurate enough to discuss fairly.6. Knowing the outcome reshapes what seemed obvious earlierHindsight bias makes an outcome appear more predictable after it happens. Once a dinner ends badly, both people may remember warning signs as clearer than they were: “I knew you were angry the moment we arrived.” Before the argument, the same quietness might have looked like tiredness or distraction. Distinguishing “I noticed something” from “I correctly understood it” prevents present knowledge from rewriting earlier uncertainty. Clear signals can exist, but outcomes often make ambiguous signals look decisive.7. Confidence reveals conviction, not necessarily precise recallA vivid memory can feel certain because it is emotionally important, frequently rehearsed or consistent with someone’s broader understanding. Confidence alone does not establish exact accuracy. Two colleagues may each firmly remember who approved a deadline, yet the email record may contradict both accounts. When details matter, consult messages, calendars or shared notes without treating the record as a weapon. External evidence can settle logistics while leaving emotional questions—such as whether someone felt pressured—open for separate discussion.

6 Ways Two People Can Remember the Same Conversation Differently New

6 Ways Two People Can Remember the Same Conversation Differently

1. Attention determines which details enter memory at allMemory cannot preserve information that received little attention in the first place. During a conversation, each person may focus on different cues because of their role, concerns or surroundings. A manager might concentrate on a missed deadline, while an employee notices the manager’s impatient tone. Later, both can accurately recall what they attended to while overlooking the rest. Their accounts may conflict without either person deliberately changing the story.2. The main meaning often outlasts the exact wordingPeople commonly retain the gist of a conversation longer than its precise sentences. That is efficient, but it can turn an implication into a remembered statement. If someone says, “We may need to rethink your responsibilities,” the listener might later recall, “You said I was losing my role.” The emotional meaning was similar, but the wording was not. When exact language matters, contemporary notes or written follow-ups are more dependable than confident recollection.3. Expectations shape how ambiguous remarks are understoodMemory begins with interpretation, not with neutral recording. The same vague comment can acquire different meanings depending on what each person already expects. “That was an interesting choice” may sound curious to one listener and critical to another who anticipates disapproval. Each person may later remember a tone consistent with that initial reading. This does not mean expectations invent everything, but they can influence which interpretation becomes attached to the event.4. Emotion highlights some moments while obscuring othersStrong emotion can make a conversation feel unforgettable without preserving every part equally well. Attention may narrow around the most threatening, embarrassing or relieving moment. During an argument, someone might vividly remember being called “careless” yet barely encode the explanation that followed. The speaker may remember the explanation because it was their main point. Emotional intensity can therefore increase confidence in selected details while leaving the wider sequence incomplete.5. Later information can reshape an earlier recollectionRemembering is partly reconstructive: people rebuild an event using stored fragments and current knowledge. New information can become mixed with the original conversation. Suppose a colleague later resigns; an earlier remark such as “I need a change” may now seem like an obvious announcement, although it sounded casual at the time. The later event supplies a clearer narrative. Asking what someone believed immediately afterward can help separate the original impression from hindsight.6. Repeated retelling can strengthen one version of eventsEach retelling selects details, organizes causes and leaves other material unused. Over time, the rehearsed version can become easier to retrieve than the messier original. A person who repeatedly tells friends, “She dismissed my idea,” may remember that summary more readily than the mixed response: initial criticism followed by partial agreement. Retelling does not automatically make a memory false, but fluency can feel like proof. A familiar account is not necessarily a complete one.
