A new proposal could see protest groups in the UK banned in a similar way to terrorist organisations.

Extracts of an upcoming report show recommendations will be made for a new category proscribing “extreme protest groups”, defining these as those which routinely use criminal tactics to try to achieve their aims. Protest groups such as Just Stop Oil and Palestine Action could have sanctions that restrict the groups’ ability to fundraise and rights to assembly in the UK.

Plus, a new device might cut down hospital time for cancer patients.

The Liberty has been given regulatory approval. The device allows patients to take blood tests and upload the results at home without supervision.

Europe correspondent Gavin Grey tells Mike Hosking the device has only been tested on a small number of types of cancer.
