Chinese cyber spies target Britain's govt computers

LONDON: A Chinese internet spy ring has penetrated Britain's government computer networks with malicious software, the Guardian reported. British foreign secretary William Hague told a security conference in Munich that his office repelled an attack last month by "a hostile state intelligence agency". Although Hague did not name the country behind the attacks, intelligence sources familiar with the incidents made it clear he was referring to China, the daily said. In his speech Hague talked about concern within the government about increasing threat posed by cyber espionage to steal the country's defence, diplomatic and commercial secrets.

Police escort Aaron Porter away from crowds in Manchester on day of protests against cuts and rise in tuition fees As thousands of people joined student rallies in Manchester and London today to protest against public spending cuts and the rise in tuition fees, the National Union of Students leader Aaron Porter had to be escorted by police away from angry crowds calling for his resignation.

About 3,000 far-right activists in Luton for biggest demonstration in the group's history Thousands of far-right activists from the English Defence League have descended on Luton today for the biggest demonstration in the organisation's 20-month history. Coachloads of supporters from the group's UK-wide "divisions" arrived from 10am and were joined by far right and Islamophobic groups from across Europe . The EDL and police had predicted a turnout of between 5,000 and 7,000 but as the marchers arrived in St George's Square in the centre of the town just after 1pm, it appeared that no more than 3,000 had turned out. Despite the smaller numbers there were minor scuffles at the train station as anti-racist protesters tried to prevent EDL supporters getting off trains. More than 2,000 police officers from forces across the south of England escorted the EDL march from the station into the centre of Luton. Some fireworks and bottles were thrown. Shops and businesses...
