It was one of several incidents, with a total of 249 people rescued throughout the day.Home Office figures show that more than 2,000 migrants have arrived in the UK so far this year.Related TopicsFranceEnglish ChannelEurope migrant crisisMigrationMore on this storyHow many people cross the Channel in small boats?Published23 JanuaryHow is the UK stopping Channel crossings?Published13 December 2023Five migrants die trying to cross ChannelPublished15 JanuaryOne dead and another injured in Channel crossingPublished15 December 2023Top StoriesI will only cut taxes in responsible way – HuntPublished1 hour agoIsraeli hostage status hangs over Gaza truce talksPublished3 minutes agoBrit Awards 2024: The real winners and losersPublished6 hours agoFeaturesBrit Awards 2024: The real winners and losersIn pictures at the Brits: Black dresses, neon pops and a giraffeKate, the King and three other big challenges for royalsFaisal Islam: Why this won’t be the Budget that Jeremy Hunt wantedJeremy on the Hunt for Tax Cuts.

Mr Jordan and Mr Comer, who are leading the impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, also asked for documents relating to an FBI probe into the bribery allegations involving Mr Biden. Prosecutors allege that Mr Smirnov, 43, falsely claimed that an executive at Ukrainian energy company Burisma told him in 2015 or 2016 that the company paid the Bidens as much as $5m (£3.9m) in bribes each.The FBI initially rejected lawmakers’ requests to turn over documents related to the claim, arguing it would reveal their confidential source. Eventually, some lawmakers were allowed to review the record, which they used as central evidence in their impeachment trial against Mr Biden. Mr Smirnov was indicted in February on charges of making a false statement and creating a fictitious record, with prosecutors alleging he did not meet the Burisma executive until years after he had claimed. He has pleaded not guilty and is awaiting trial in jail. Prosecutors asked that Mr Smirnov be held without bail, citing alleged “extensive” contacts with Russian intelligence agencies. Mr Comer and Mr Jordan claimed his arrest “raises even greater concerns about abuse and mismanagement in the FBI’s” confidential source programme. The letter comes after Republicans released a transcript of testimony from Hunter Biden before the House Oversight Committee. The party has accused President Biden of being improperly involved in his son’s foreign business dealings. The 229 pages of testimony offered few new insights. Hunter Biden focused on defending his father. “For more than a year, your committees have hunted me in your partisan political pursuit of my dad,” he said in opening statements. “You have trafficked in innuendo, distortion, and sensationalism, all the while ignoring the clear and convincing evidence staring you in the face: You do not have evidence to support the baseless and MAGA-motivated conspiracies about my father because there isn’t any.”Related TopicsHunter BidenUS CongressJoe BidenMore on this storyFBI source accused of Biden lies ‘linked to spies’Published21 FebruaryHunter Biden testifies against impeachment ‘charade’Published3 days agoTop StoriesLive.

You really don’t have time to stop.” While the series has legions of followers steeped in its lore, that one particular episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation has lived long and prospered in infamy.It comes down to a scene in which the android character Data, played by actor Brent Spiner, talks about the “Irish unification of 2024” as an example of violence successfully achieving a political aim. Originally shown in the US in 1990, there was so much concern over the exchange that the episode was not broadcast on the BBC or Irish public broadcaster RTÉ. At the time, US TV shows often debuted internationally several years after their original broadcast. Satellite broadcaster Sky reportedly aired an edited version in 1992, cutting the crucial scene. But The High Ground was not shown by the BBC until 02:39 GMT, 29 September 2007 – and BBC Archives says it is confident this is its only transmission. Michelle O’Neill makes history as NI first ministerIs Sinn Féin’s election success a turning point?The decision not to air the episode reflects a time when a bloody conflict continued to rage in Northern Ireland, with the Provisional IRA – a paramilitary group with the stated aim of ending British rule in Northern Ireland – one of its main protagonists. Now it is 2024 – and Sinn Féin, which emerged as the political wing of the IRA, is the largest party in the devolved Stormont assembly.The party’s leader in Northern Ireland, Michelle O’Neill, became first minister last month and has predicted a referendum on Irish unity within a decade.She strikes a very different tone to Sir Keir Starmer, favourite to be the UK’s next prime minister, who has said such a poll is “not even on the horizon”.This video can not be playedTo play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.Media caption, Michelle O’Neill became Northern Ireland’s first minister last month, the first time a Irish nationalist politician has held that roleOn social media, people have been sharing screenshots of Data’s prediction and drawing links to Sinn Féin’s electoral success.Back when Ms Snodgrass was writing the script, she did not think it would cause any problems. “Science fiction is incredibly important because it allows people to discuss difficult topics – but at arm’s length,” she says.In the episode, Data’s line does not come out of the blue.The High Ground is based on the theme of terrorism, after the Starship Enterprise’s chief medical officer Dr Beverly Crusher is abducted by the separatist Ansata group, who use murder and violence to pursue their aim of independence. “I’ve been reviewing the history of armed rebellion, and it appears that terrorism is an effective way to promote political change,” says Data.”Yes it can be,” responds Captain Jean-Luc Picard, played by Patrick Stewart, “but I have never subscribed to the theory that political power flows from the barrel of a gun.””Yet there are numerous examples of when it was successful,” Data says. “The independence of the Mexican state from Spain, the Irish unification of 2024, and the Kenzie rebellion.”Image source, Getty ImagesImage caption, Star Trek: The Next Generation featured Sir Patrick Stewart as Captain Jean-Luc Picard, in what has become one of his most iconic roles”I’m aware of them,” says Picard, to which Data asks: “Would it then be accurate to say that terrorism is acceptable when all options for peaceful settlement have been foreclosed?””Data, these are questions that mankind has been struggling with throughout history. Your confusion is only human.”The story has parallels with the situation in Northern Ireland at the time – something Ms Snodgrass says was deliberate. “I was a history major before I went to law school and I wanted to get into that; discuss the fact that one man’s freedom fighter is another man’s terrorist,” she says.”I mean, these are complicated issues. And when do people feel like their back is so much against the wall that they have no choice but to turn to violence? And is that actually ever justified?”I think what I wanted to say was: if we’re talking and not shooting, we’re in a better place.”Image caption, Melinda M Snodgrass says science fiction provides a way of examining current issues through a different lensIn 1992, when the episode was due to air in the UK, the IRA ceasefire of 1994 and 1998 Good Friday Agreement were still years away.In April of that year, the Baltic Exchange bombing carried out by the IRA in the heart of London’s financial centre killed three people, and injured more than 90.Such was the atmosphere from 1988 to 1994, a ban was enforced on broadcasting the voices of members of certain groups from Northern Ireland on television and radio. Restrictions were seen as specifically targeting Sinn Féin. It resulted in the bizarre situation where prominent politicians including Martin McGuinness and Gerry Adams had their voices dubbed by actors (Mr Adams, famously, was voiced at times by Oscar-nominated actor Stephen Rea). Reflecting on the Star Trek episode, Prof Robert Savage of Boston College says: “It was amazing it was censored.”His latest book – Northern Ireland, the BBC, and Censorship in Thatcher’s Britain – covers the period when the episode was pulled. “The argument I think the robot [Data] asks you is basically just: does terrorism work? If there are no alternatives, if you’ve tried every other avenue to try to affect change, is it acceptable? To use terrorism?”And it’s a very human question. But [Jean-Luc Picard] doesn’t answer the question! That would have unsettled somebody like Thatcher,” Prof Savage adds.This video can not be playedTo play this video you need to enable JavaScript in your browser.Media caption, The roots of Northern Ireland’s Troubles lie deep in Irish historyThere is some murkiness about how a decision was reached not to broadcast the programme at the time. BBC Archives confirmed the 2007 broadcast of the episode and was “satisfied” any other screening would have been listed.The BBC’s press office said it had spoken to “a number of people” about why a ban may have been implemented, but was unable to get this information “as it dates quite far back”.A spokesman for Sky said he had looked into it, but could not confirm it had broadcast an edited version of the episode in 1992 – or what its reasoning might have been for doing so.RTÉ noted that TV guides from the time show it had broadcast Star Trek: The Next Generation, but did not have further information in its acquisitions system, and could not find anyone from the time to speak to. “I think this would probably have stirred a memory if I had been made aware of this at the time, but I am afraid it rings no bells at all,” said Lord John Birt, who was director general of the BBC from 1992 to 2000, and before this served as deputy director general. If the episode had been removed, it would probably have been a decision made at operational level in Network Television, he said.More than three decades on, the picture in Northern Ireland has changed. Ms Snodgrass says she was “thrilled” when the Good Friday Agreement was signed, adding it had allowed Northern Ireland to prosper. She notes Games of Thrones, a television series based on books by George RR Martin (who she knows well and has co-authored work with) was filmed in the region in recent years – something which has given a big boost to the economy. “[At the time] 2024 seemed a long way away. I probably should have made it, you know, 2224! I just pulled that number and it didn’t occur to me that suddenly we would be here.”Related TopicsSinn FéinNorthern IrelandThe TroublesStar TrekMore on this storyHow am-dram sent Sir Patrick Stewart to the starsPublished7 October 2023Star Trek predicts a united IrelandPublished14 April 2007Michelle O’Neill makes history as NI first ministerPublished3 FebruaryTop StoriesGaza receives first airdrop of US humanitarian aidPublished8 hours agoGazans crowdfund thousands for uncertain escapePublished4 hours agoRaye makes history by winning six Brit AwardsPublished3 hours agoFeaturesBrits red carpet: Black dresses, pops of neon and a giraffeThe Papers: Hunt aims to cut tax or risks ‘losing grey vote’How Israel-Gaza war is spilling into cultural life’There was heartache but we had to keep going’Kate, the King and three other big challenges for royalsFive ways to save on train tickets as fares riseThe ‘banned’ Star Trek episode that promised a united Ireland’King of Chaos’ Imran Khan keeps winning even behind barsCan green ‘super powders’ really make you healthy?Elsewhere on the BBCFrom the seizure of Crimea to the war in UkraineThe story of a decade of clashes, told by the Western leaders who traded blows with PutinAttributioniPlayerFrom the largest ship to disasters on deck…A closer look at times when cruise ships have caused commotionAttributioniPlayer’I never tried to be famous…it was accidental’Michael Parkinson with guests Ricky Gervais, Michael Palin and Kate AdieAttributioniPlayerIt’s make or break timeAnother set of eager entrepreneurs hope to impress the fearsome panelAttributioniPlayerMost Read1Nadiya Hussain: A letter to my teenage daughter2The ‘banned’ Star Trek episode that promised a united Ireland3Hunt aims to cut tax or risks ‘losing grey vote’4Raye makes history by winning six Brit Awards5Russia publishes German army meeting on Ukraine6Gazans crowdfund thousands for uncertain escape7Brits red carpet: Black dresses, pops of neon and a giraffe8AI and drones in £800m Budget technology package9’There was heartache but we had to keep going’10Kate, the King and three other big challenges for royals](https://newsinsightplus.com/wp-content/uploads/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/branded_news/118D0/production/_132788817_tng_160_irish_unification_1.jpg)

The comments come days after Israel’s leader said the military had been told to prepare to operate in Rafah. More than half of Gaza’s people now live in the city bordering Egypt. Some 1.5 million Palestinians are surviving there in dire humanitarian conditions.Israel bombed parts of Rafah from the air on Thursday morning and Israeli tanks reportedly also opened fire.Emad, 55, a father of six sheltering in Rafah after fleeing his home elsewhere, was quoted by Reuters news agency as saying his greatest fear was a ground assault with nowhere left to run.”We have our backs to the [border] fence and faces toward the Mediterranean,” he said. “Where should we go?” Much of northern and central Gaza has been reduced to ruins by sustained Israeli bombardment since the war began on 7 October. Speaking on Thursday evening, and without referring to Rafah, US President Joe Biden said Israel’s actions in Gaza had been “over the top”. Earlier, US National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the Israeli military had a “special obligation as they conduct operations there or anywhere else to make sure that they’re factoring in protection for innocent civilian life”. “Military operations right now would be a disaster for those people and it’s not something that we would support,” he said, adding that the US had not seen anything to suggest Israel was going to launch a major operation in Rafah imminently. Deputy State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel echoed Mr Kirby’s comments, saying: ”We [the US] would not support the undertaking of something like this without serious and credible planning.” Asked by the BBC where refugees in Rafah should go in the event of an operation, Mr Patel said these were “legitimate questions that we believe the Israelis should answer”. Speaking in the Israeli city of Tel Aviv, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said any “military operation that Israel undertakes needs to put civilians first and foremost… and that’s especially true in the case of Rafah”. It is rare for the US, a key ally and military backer of Israel, to talk about any forthcoming stages of the country’s military offensive in Gaza – but this was a clear warning. Washington sends around $3.8bn (£3bn) in military aid to Israel each year, making the country the world’s biggest recipient of such funding.Around 1,300 people were killed during the Hamas attacks on southern Israel on 7 October, according to Israeli officials.More than 27,800 Palestinians have been killed and at least 67,000 injured by the war launched by Israel in response, according to the Hamas-run health ministry.”They are living in overcrowded makeshift shelters, in unsanitary conditions, without running water, electricity and adequate food supplies,” was the stark assessment of the situation by UN chief António Guterres on Thursday. “We were clear in condemning the horrific acts of Hamas. We are also clear in condemning the violations of international humanitarian law in Gaza.”On Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had ordered troops to “prepare to operate” in Rafah and that “total victory” by Israel over Hamas was just months away.Related TopicsIsrael-Gaza warIsraelGazaUnited StatesMore on this storyHamas sets out three-stage plan for ceasefire dealPublished1 day agoNetanyahu rejects Hamas’s proposed ceasefire termsPublished1 day agoTop Stories’My memory is fine’ – Biden hits back at special counselPublished21 minutes agoUS says it will not back unplanned Rafah offensivePublished2 hours agoPutin says deal can be reached to free US reporterPublished1 hour agoFeaturesFive things in the Biden classified documents reportThe Papers: Labour’s £28bn ‘U-turn’ and fury at ‘blue card’ plans’Fat people can be heroes, not just the punchline’Why the e-bike boom is raising fire fearsA mosque demolished, and orphans displaced in IndiaWeekly quiz: Who beat Miley to win Song Of The Year?‘Get it up ye!’ How 17-year-old Kevin Bridges conquered the world’We are surrounded’ – Guarding the Middle East’s most dangerous borderWhat happened to Labour’s £28bn for green projects?Elsewhere on the BBC’If I can’t live with you, I don’t want to live anyway’The Hungarian footballer executed for loveAttributionSoundsFrom the seizure of Crimea to the war in UkraineThe inside story of a decade of clashes, as told by the Western leaders who traded blows with PutinAttributioniPlayerFrom The Fall to Fifty ShadesActor Jamie Dornan shares the soundtrack of his life with Lauren LaverneAttributionSoundsHow do they make two million litres of stout per day?Gregg Wallace hops into the world of Irish stout at the Guinness brewery in DublinAttributioniPlayerMost Read1’My memory is fine’ – Biden hits back at special counsel2Putin says deal can be reached to free US reporter3Piers Morgan to move TalkTV show to YouTube4US says it will not back unplanned Rafah offensive5Zelensky sacks Ukraine’s commander-in-chief6TikTok and Temu pull cheap heaters over fire risk7‘Get it up ye!’ How 17-year-old Kevin Bridges conquered the world8US court sceptical of move to bar Trump from ballot9Weekly quiz: Who beat Miley to win Song Of The Year?10Why the e-bike boom is raising fire fears](https://newsinsightplus.com/wp-content/uploads/https://ichef.bbci.co.uk/news/1024/branded_news/BDD7/production/_132599584_kidsgetty.jpg)
