Objects were thrown at Nigel Farage as he rode an open-top bus in Yorkshire on Tuesday, 11 June.

The Reform UK leader was campaigning in Barnsley when a protester approached the vehicle.

Mr Farage said he believes objects were some wet cement from a work site followed by a coffee cup, and was warned by police not to get off the bus.

He had just addressed supporters but was interrupted by a crowd of demonstrators.

Police arrested a man who threw the objects.

Giuliani defends Palm Beach home in battle over defamation payout
Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor who served as Donald Trump's personal lawyer, heads to trial on Thursday in his bid to block two Georgia election workers he falsely accused of helping steal the 2020 presidential election for Joe Biden from seizing his condominium in Palm Beach, Florida. The non-jury civil trial before U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman in Manhattan will cap off a difficult month for Giuliani, who has twice been held in contempt of court over his treatment of the workers, Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea Moss. Giuliani, 80, already has turned over his Manhattan apartment, a 1980 Mercedes-Benz vehicle and other assets to Freeman and Moss to help pay off a $148 million judgment they won after a jury found that he defamed them.

Diddy 'freak off' videos prove his 'innocence,' defense claims
Defense attorneys for Sean "Diddy" Combs claimed in a new court filing on Tuesday that videos depicting sexual activity between the rapper, his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura and male prostitutes "confirm Mr. Combs's innocence" because they show sexual activity among "consenting adults." There are nine videos of what prosecutors have alleged Combs called "freak offs" -- described by prosecutors as "elaborate and produced sex performances" -- that are currently available for defense attorneys to view. "Contrary to what the government has led this Court and the public to believe, the so-called 'Freak Offs' were private sexual activity between fully consenting adults in a long-term relationship," defense attorneys Marc Agnifilo and Teny Geragos said.
