This news article tells us about an ongoing dispute between the band Led Zeppelin and another band in relation to the authenticity of a particular song.
I found this interesting due to the escalation of the case to considerably senior courts and also allowed me to consider what legally would make something rightfully 'yours' - I feel the source is reliable due to the naming of the author. However, have rated the source 3 stars as this is not an academic source of information such as a journal.

A long-serving police officer has been shot dead at Croydon Custody Centre in south London.

The male sergeant was shot in the chest before the suspect turned the firearm on himself, sources have told the BBC.

The man had been brought to the custody suite in a police vehicle and the shooting happened during questioning about Covid-19, the BBC was told.

The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) has confirmed it is investigating the incident.

The victim, who has not been named, is thought to have been a few weeks away from retirement and was described as "one of a kind" by a colleague.

BBC home affairs correspondent Danny Shaw said it was believed the suspect - who is critically ill in hospital - was known to counter-terrorism police having been on their radar in the past, though the Metropolitan Police has not officially confirmed that.

No police firearms were discharged during the incident, which happened at about 02:15 BST at the Windmill Road centre.

The IOPC said in a statement that it had established the man was arrested for possession of Class B drugs with intent to supply, and possession of ammunition.

The police watchdog said the man had been handcuffed while officers prepared to search him using a metal detector.

"It is at the point that shots were fired, resulting in the fatal injuries to the officer and critical injuries to the man.

"A non-police issue firearm, which appears to be a revolver, has been recovered from the scene. Further ballistic work will be required."

The IOPC added that the Met Police was conducting a separate murder investigation into the death of its officer and it was working to ensure "our investigation does not impact its enquiries".

A minute's silence was held for the officer, described by the Met Police chief as a "much-loved colleague".

The force's chief, Cressida Dick, said the policing family was "deeply shocked and very sad" following the death of the officer.

"I have visited and spoken to our officer's partner together with other colleagues and we are of course giving her the best support we can," she said

"My heartfelt condolences go to her, to their family, to his colleagues and his close friends.

"A murder investigation is under way and officers are working at several crime scenes to secure evidence and to establish the facts of what happened.

"Early indications are that the suspect shot himself, this has not yet of course been established as a fact."

Det Insp Richard Berns described his colleague as "hard working and an inspiration to all who knew him".

"It was a privilege to have worked with him and known him over so many years," he said.

"He was was one of a kind and will be deeply missed. Rest in peace my friend."

Community police officer Jacqueline Kufuor was among those laying flowers outside the custody centre in tribute to her colleague.

She described the officer as "a lovely guy" and "the nicest man I have ever met".

The IOPC investigation will have several strands, our correspondent Danny Shaw added.

"It's likely to focus on the circumstances of the man's arrest - which officers were deployed during the operation; whether and how the suspect was searched; and if he was put into handcuffs," he said.

"The IOPC will also need to establish what happened at the police station and whether appropriate measures were put in place when the suspect was taken out of the police van."

The Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said the police were currently "reviewing the safety of custody suites" and "there could be changes very soon to custody suites to make sure they are as safe as they can be".

Earlier, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: "We owe a huge debt to those who risk their own lives to keep us safe."

In a post on social media he also said: "My deepest condolences go to the family, friends and colleagues of the police officer who was killed in Croydon last night."

A number of police officers have also been turning their social media profile pictures black with a blue stripe to pay their respect to the officer.
Analysis By Dominic Casciani, BBC Home Affairs correspondent
This appalling incident in Croydon appears to be absolutely unique - an officer shot by a man who was already inside a police facility - and the shock felt today underlines how rare it is for police officers in the UK to be killed by a suspect in the line of duty, relative to other nations.

The Metropolitan Police officer shot dead in Croydon is the 17th from the force to have been killed by a firearm since the Second World War.

But since the beginning of the 20th Century 73 police officers have been shot and killed by criminals in the UK, excluding all deaths in Northern Ireland.

The majority of those deaths - more than 50 - have occurred since 1945.

Police officers in other parts of the world are often puzzled why British constables are not routinely armed. But the fact is that there are very few criminal guns in circulation - and the culture of policing has never seen it as acceptable to be universally armed.

However, Tasers are increasingly a common sight in the UK - and a massive survey of police officers recently found three-quarters would carry one of the less-than-lethal devices on the frontline, if given the choice.

Yogarajah Emmanuel, 43, who runs a shop opposite the custody suite, said he woke up at 02:30 BST to the sound of sirens.

"I looked out of my window and could see three ambulances," said Mr Emmanuel.

"There was noise and all of a sudden one ambulance from inside the car park came out and sped off.

"This morning I heard it was a police officer and just felt so sad. They are all very good people and wave and say hello when they come to my shop."

'Sick to their stomachs'

Ken Marsh, chairman of the Met Police Federation, said news of the shooting was "utterly devastating".

"Officers across London are in shock and sick to their stomachs at the nature of his death," he said.

"Sadly, on very rare occasions officers make the ultimate sacrifice whilst fulfilling their role.

"When that happens we will ensure their bravery and sacrifice is never forgotten."

There aren’t many direct quotes within the article suggesting that information given may not be too accurate, but generally, the guardian can be seen as a primary news source in the UK.

he resignation of Amal Clooney, the prominent human rights barrister, from her position as the UK's special envoy on media freedom, because the government intends to enact legislation that would breach international law, vividly illustrates the consequences to our reputation abroad should the offending legislation be passed ( Amal Clooney quits UK envoy role over 'lamentable' Brexit bill, 18 September). Clooney rightly feels that she can hardly encourage other governments to observe the rule of law when that which she represents does not.

The government's intention to breach the law has wider possible consequences. If citizens and institutions follow the government's example and choose what laws they will and will not obey, anarchy will ensue.

Further, if this government insists on breaking the law because it suits it to do so politically, it will be taking one small but dangerous step towards dictatorship.

The price of freedom is eternal vigilance. The rule of law, together with an independent judiciary and legal profession, is vital to our democracy.

Article taken from BBC News, this was written today shortly after the update from Rishi on the new job scheme.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Chancellor Rishi Sunak has said it is "impossible" to predict how many jobs the government's new wage subsidy scheme will save.

The scheme, set to replace furlough, will see the government top up the pay of people unable to work full time.

It aims to stop mass job cuts after the government introduced new measures to tackle a rise in coronavirus cases.

Mr Sunak said he hoped the plan would "benefit large numbers", but he could not say what job is "viable or not".

Under the Job Support Scheme, if bosses bring back workers part time, the government will help top up their wages with employers to at least three quarters of their full time pay.

It will begin on 1 November and last for six months.

Mr Sunak described the scheme as a "radical new policy", designed "to help protect as many jobs as possible [and] keep people in part-time work rather than laying them off".

However, he said it would only support "viable jobs" as opposed to jobs that exist because the government is continuing to subsidise the wages.

"It's not for me to sit here and make pronouncements upon exactly what job is viable or not but what we do need to do is evolve our support now that we're through the acute phase of the crisis," Mr Sunak said at a press conference after the scheme was unveiled.

"We obviously can't sustain the same level of things that we were doing at the beginning of this crisis."

Nearly three million workers - or 12% of the UK's workforce - are currently on partial or full furlough leave, according to official figures. The current furlough scheme ends on 31 October.

The government's contribution to workers' pay will fall sharply compared with the furlough scheme. Under furlough, it initially paid 80% of a monthly wage up to £2,500 - under the new scheme this will drop to 22%.

"The primary goal of our economic policy remains unchanged - to support people's jobs - but the way we achieve that must evolve," Mr Sunak said.

"I cannot save every business, I cannot save every job."

The scheme will cost the government an estimated £300m a month. Companies who use it can also still claim the Job Retention Bonus, where the government pays £1,000 for every furloughed employee who comes back to work until at least the end of January.

Mr Sunak said a similar scheme for the self-employed would be available.

How will the Jobs Support Scheme work?

Under the scheme, the government will subsidise the pay of employees who are working fewer than normal hours due to lower demand

It will apply to staff who can work at least a third of their usual hours

Employers will pay staff for the hours they do work

For the hours employees can't work, the government and the employer will each cover one third of the lost pay

The grant will be capped at £697.92 per month

All small and medium sized businesses will be eligible for the scheme

Larger business will be eligible if their turnover has fallen during the crisis

It will be open to employers across the UK even if they have not previously used the furlough scheme

The scheme will run for six months starting in November

New cliff-edge

Business lobby group the CBI welcomed the government's plan.

"It is right to target help on jobs with a future, but can only be part-time while demand remains flat. This is how skills and jobs can be preserved to enable a fast recovery, "said CBI director-general Dame Carolyn Fairbairn.

However, Torsten Bell, chief executive of the Resolution Foundation think tank said that the new jobs scheme on its own "will not encourage firms to cut hours rather than jobs because the one-third employer contribution means it is much cheaper for firms to employ one person full-time than two people part-time".

"But interaction with the £1,000 Job Retention Bonus is really important here," he said. "When this new scheme is combined with that we've now got a big incentive for firms to retain workers part-time until you qualify for the bonus, i.e. the end of January is the new end of October cliff-edge."

'I'm frightened'

Tracey Sheppard is a cleaner at a leisure centre in Essex who's been on furlough since the end of March. She said she hoped the new Jobs Support Scheme will help her, but there are no guarantees.

"They're a very big company that I work for ... but I don't' know whether they'd be able to afford to keep me on... I just don't know," she told the BBC's World At One.

She said she feels "frightened" because her family only recently moved to the area and this is the only job she can fit in around childcare.

"I've just heard nothing [from my employer]. The last time I heard from them was the beginning of lockdown."

A cut in VAT for hospitality and tourism companies will also be extended until March. The cut from 20% to 5% VAT - which came into force on 15 July - had been due to expire on 12 January next year.

However, the Food and Drink Federation (FDF) said this and the new jobs plan did "not go far enough" in helping the industry which has been hit by the government's new restrictions to stop coronavirus cases from rising.

From Thursday, pubs and restaurants will have to close from 10pm in measures that could last for six months.

FDF chief executive, Ian Wright, said: "Only by continuing a targeted furlough scheme while the current restrictions remain will we avoid mass long-term unemployment and the decimation of a sector that could otherwise support our economic recovery once the pandemic is over."

Loan repayments

Mr Sunak also announced that businesses that have borrowed money through the government's loan scheme would be given more time to repay the money.

The chancellor said that small businesses who took out "Bounce Back" loans can use a new Pay as You Grow flexible repayment system. It means borrowings can be repaid over 10 years instead of the original six year term.

The longer repayment time also applied to small and medium-sized firms who borrowed under the Coronavirus Business Interruption Loan Scheme.

Businesses will also have more time to apply for these loans, as well as the Coronavirus Large Business Interruption Loan Scheme and the Future Fund. Application dates for the various schemes had been due to end in October and November.

The furlough scheme was a bridge to carry livelihoods through the crisis. But the bridge needs to reach the other side of the gap to be effective.

The chancellor's wage subsidy scheme is a continuation of that support - but it's of a different, less generous type. As employers will have to pay more than before, and employees will have to be working, it's aimed only at those businesses and posts that are viable.

So some workers will slip through the gap: the government is keen that those in unsustainable jobs are spurred to think about their next move.

And that means unemployment will still rise - although not as far perhaps as the four million some economists previously feared. The cost of the chancellor's new plan will run into billions, adding to the shortfall of £320bn the Treasury is already facing.

At some point, taxes may have to rise to help plug that but there was no mention of that today, for it may be some time before the economy will be strong enough to take that on.

But the bill facing the chancellor now is likely to be far smaller than the ultimate cost to the economy of doing nothing.

Rishi Sunak defends emergency jobs scheme

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Chancellor Rishi Sunak has said it is "impossible" to predict how many jobs the government's new wage subsidy scheme will save. The scheme, set to replace furlough, will see the government top up the pay of people unable to work full time.

From an unreliable source which is known to exaggerate (The Sun), however this particular article may be viewed as reliable as the journalist has quoted the video accurately and not over exaggerated. In addition, the writer included some essential facts about the mandatory face mask rule in the UK which further explains why there was such an issue over the traveller who was not wearing one

I believe this news article is reliable as it is based upon a detailed document created by investigators that have followed the illegal hunting of foxes. The document is supported by statements from a police officer directly involved in the illegal hunts and facts. Even though the Independent is know to be a left leaning article i believe this has no impact on the article itself.

Students not being allowed home for Christmas

# data[].attributes.body
This article has been taken from BBC News, which is highly respected news outlet in the UK. However; that does not make this news reports completely reliable, take the title for instance: 'refuses to rule out' doesn't necessarily state this is what he is going to do. As he is a politician you should also take into consideration that their job is to basically lie to the public especially those within cabinet, and as he has been caught in a lie quite recently you have to take what he says to not reference what he omits as a statement of truth

Matt Hancock has refused to rule out banning students from returning home at Christmas, to limit the spread of coronavirus outbreaks.

The health secretary was responding to a question about concerns that students could be spreading Covid-19, amid numerous university-based outbreaks.

At Glasgow University 120 students have tested positive for Covid-19 and are among 600 self-isolating there.

Academics had warned against the mass movement of the UK's million students.

The University and College Union had called for students to be taught wholly online, from home until Christmas, ahead of the start of term, but ministers advised some face-to-face learning was key to students' mental health.

This has meant up to a million students have returned to their university premises or are commuting there regularly.

In a response to a question on BBC Radio 4's Today Programme about whether students would be asked to stay in their university towns at Christmas, Mr Hancock said he had "learned not to rule things out".

"I don't want to have a situation like that and I very much hope we can avoid it.

"We have said throughout that our goal is to suppress the virus, whilst protecting the economy and protecting education.

"And protecting people in education whether it's school or university is obviously critical as is protecting the economy."

He added: "In terms of universities, we are working very closely with them to try to make sure the students are safe, but that they can also get their education."

"I've learned not to rule things out and one of the challenges that we have is how to make sure people are as safe as possible."

But he added: "This is not our goal, I don't want to leave you with the expectation - but we have to work on all contingencies at the moment."

It comes after a growing number of outbreaks on university campuses, with students isolating in their residential groups at Glasgow, Dundee and Liverpool.

Boris Johnson has said universities have been given a "clear request not to send students home in the event of an outbreak, so as to avoid spreading the virus across the country".

Socialising

University students are being urged not to hold parties in their halls of residence under the rule of six, and to avoid socialising in places that do not have Covid-19 protections in place.

Many universities are warning students they face fines or even having their courses terminated if they do not follow the regulations.

Universities have taken extensive measures in their buildings to minimise risks on campuses and many lectures are already being taught online, but there is less control over what takes place off university premises.

But minutes of a recent meeting of the government's scientific advisory group on emergencies, suggest ministers were aware of the risks of bringing students back to university and sending them home at the end of term.

The minutes of the 1 September meeting said: "Sage noted that risks of larger outbreaks spilling over from HE institutions are more likely to occur towards the end of the academic term, coinciding with Christmas and New Year period when students return home.

"This could pose risk to both local communities and families, and will require national oversight, monitoring and decision-making."

UCU general secretary Jo Grady has said the evidence was clear that online learning should be the default position and that government should be working to prevent outbreaks not creating conditions for them.

She said:" students and their parents will be rightly worried about being locked down in an unfamiliar area over Christmas.

"Locking students down at Christmas is based on a flawed boarding school vision of university that ignores the fact thousands of students and staff commute every day around the UK to and from university.

"Threatening to lock students up over the festive period is not the solution."

She also urged the government to act now, before thousands more students move onto campuses this weekend.

It was completely irresponsible to let students go back to university when outbreaks have already started, she added.

'Number one priority'

University leaders say they have working hard for months to ensure students can return to their campuses safely.

"Ensuring the health, safety and wellbeing of students, staff and local communities in the new academic year is the number one priority for universities," said a Universities UK spokeswoman.

UUK said institutions were taking action to encourage responsible student behaviour, would continue to follow the latest government and public health advice, and were working in partnership with local authorities and public health bodies "to ensure that effective and rapid outbreak response plans are in place and clearly understood".

I think this news source is reliable, it is written by a BBC editor and has analysis by a legal affairs correspondent. It also has reference to the Law Commissions report, and the viewpoints of MPs. Additionally, there are also direct quotes in agreement that this is legitimate from both the commissioner for criminal law and the Home Office.

I believe the source to be reputable because of the newspaper that is reporting the story, however, due to the nature of what is being reported, views and accounts may inaccurate, depending on which side of the fence you sit regarding fox hunting. For example, the paragraph  “However, a number of police officers appear to support hunts, and some–even including the occasional wildlife crime officer–ride with them, it is claimed.” The word “claimed” suggests that the motivation by the reporters is to create uncertainty whether some police support fox hunting and are ignoring the law. Further reading of the report that police are turning a blind eye and reports are going uninvestigated also seems to add to the motivation of the reporter.

# data[].attributes.body
The source is reliable as there are specific quotations mentioned from people of high authority such as the criminal law commissioner and are able to find information about him. However, i am unable to find any information about the author.  Also as a reader i may be biased to believe it is true as i am a woman and have experienced what is mentioned, therefore my own personal experience may affect my ability to critic it. The source cited is from another article from the very same site which makes it harder to doubt the reliability of it. The advertisements on the site and the constant reminder to contribute payment creates a sense of doubt in true motivation of the source.

This news source can be looked at as reliable as it is from a trust worthy source however neither party has confirmed whether these rumours are true. This could therefore be classed as 'clickbait' as the media outlet could just be trying to make a story up to get more clicks online and to sell a story

# data[].attributes.body
I believe this article is some what factual , as it is quoted directly from the health secretary. However, I do feel also the journalist may have slightly over exaggerated what he has said in order to create some sort of moral panic. Therefore, I would not trust this article until there is more than one view.

# data[].attributes.body
This is produced by a respectable source. It is static heavy with clear indications of where they received that information from which increases its reliability. However, this article does not state the author's name; therefore we do not know what area they specialise in, nor can we fact check with them.

I believe this article to be very reliable as looking at the journalist, Shami Chakrabarti, we can see tha she was shadow attorney general this is important as it would show that she has a fantastic knowledge of the legal system.
In addition the article is taken from the newspaper "The Guardian" which is a highly respected newspaper in England.
However, it is important to consider that the article could be written with some bias as Chakrabarti is a member of the Labour Party so may have some prejudice against the Conservative government that she references in the article.
