New Order have backed the #LetTheMusicMove campaign against proposed changes to US visa rules that would impact touring artists.Last month saw the US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announce that it was planning to raise touring visa fees for foreign acts by more than 250 per cent.The DHS said in its proposal that applications for a P visa, which is for acts arriving in the states to perform temporarily, would increase from the current rate of $460 (£375.23) to $1,615 (£1,317). Meanwhile, the longer-term O work visa would jump from $460 (£375.23) to $1,655 (£1,349).Numerous musicians have since spoken out against the plans, saying that it would be “a huge hardship to pay such high visa fees”.

The family and friends of three women and two men are appealing for help to find them after they went missing following a night out in the early hours of Saturday (March 4).

Twenty-two people died and hundreds were injured when suicide bomber Salman Abedi detonated an explosive device in the foyer at the venue at the end of an Ariana Grande concert on May 22, 2017.A 207 page report has found two pieces of information about Abedi were assessed at the time by the security service as not being terrorism-related, but Chairman Sir John Saunders said, having heard from MI5 witnesses at the recent hearings, he considered that did not present an “accurate picture”, reports BBC News.One officer admitted they considered a possible pressing national security concern on one of the pieces of intelligence but did not discuss it with colleagues straightaway and did not write up a report that same day.As a result of this, Sir John said: “The delay in providing the report led to the missing of an opportunity to take a potentially important investigative action. Based on everything the security service knew or should have known, I am satisfied that such an investigative action would have been a proportionate and justified step to take.

There was 'a significant missed opportunity to take action' on the part of MI5 that might have prevented the murders of 22 people in the Manchester Arena bombing, the third and final report of the public inquiry into the atrocity has found.

The wider family of Manchester Arena bomber Salman Abedi ‘holds significant responsibility’ for his radicalisation while Manchester-based Islamic State ‘poster boys’ also encouraged him, the public inquiry into the atrocity has concluded.

Schools and colleges attended by Manchester Arena mass murderer Salman Abedi were not at fault in failing to identify he was at risk of radicalisation or of being drawn into terrorism, the third and final report arising from the public inquiry has found.

Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville has warned Manchester City that Erik ten Hag's team will continue to be a threat to them after their Carabao Cup victory over Newcastle.
