Belgian police arrested 12 individuals linked to an ISIS terror cell in Brussels, targeting an area where fans were gathering for a football match. Prime Minister Charles Michel announced enhanced security measures following the arrests, emphasizing the country’s heightened terror alert. Meanwhile, UK Prime Minister David Cameron warned that a Brexit vote would be irreversible, arguing it would have detrimental effects on the economy and refuting claims made by pro-Brexit advocates.

All threemen blew themselvesup

been on its second- highest terror

attack, w ith special police and the
army patrolling in the main cities.

It was not clear whether the
arrests were linked to a man named
as Youssef EA, who was charged on

Youssef, 30, was a childhood

blew himself up at Maalbeek metro

He worked for a catering service at

THE entire Russian team could be
banned from competing across all
sports at the
Rio Olympics,
according to Dick Pound, the
founding president of the World
Anti- Doping Agency (Wada).
Russia’s track and field athletes
were barred from the 2016 Games
last week after inspectors ruled the
country had not taken sufficient
stepsto proveitsathleteswereclean.
But Pound said an investigation into
allegations of w idespread corrup-
tion at theSochi Winter Olympicsin
2014 could have further conse-
quences for Russia.
“ Kicking the entire Russia team
out of the Rio Games would be the
nuclear option, but it’s not impos-
sible,” said Pound, who led Wadafor
eight years.

MICROSOFT, one of the world’s
richest companies, has avoided
up to £100m a year in UK
corporation tax by booking
billions of pounds of sales in
Ireland under a confidential deal
w ith the British tax authorities.
More than £8bn of revenues
from computers and softw are
bought by British customers has
been sent to Ireland since 2011.
The corporation tax rate in
Ireland is 12.5%, compared w ith
20% in the UK.
The Sunday Times has
established that key parts of
Microsoft’s offshore structure —
which eventually leads to
Bermuda —were approved by
HM Revenue & Customs
(HMRC) in an agreement signed
in 2012. The arrangement,
know n as an advance pricing
agreement, runs from 2011- 17.

Brexit isa“ one- way ticket” asanew
poll show s the “ remain” camp has
edged back into the lead.
In an interview w ith The Sunday
Times the prime minister said that
voting to leave the European Union
would be an “ irreversible” step
“ w ith very bad consequences” .
Cameron said therewould be“ no
going back ” after a Brexit vote
because a government seeking to
re- enter the EU would have to join
the euro, the Schengen no- borders
zone and surrender the British
budget rebate.
“ Onceyou havejumped out of the
aeroplane, you can’t scramble back
through the door,” he said.
Cameron also launched a broad-
side at Michael Gove and Boris
Johnson, comparing them to irres-
ponsibleparentswho put their fam-
ilies in a dangerous car. He accused
them of basing their campaign on
“ completely untrue” claims.
A YouGov poll for The Sunday
Times puts “ remain” on 44%, one
point ahead, after recent polls
show ing “ leave” in the lead.
The pollster said the bounce for
the “ remain” campaign was not a
reaction to the killing of Labour MP
Jo Cox but due to grow ing concern
about theeconomic effectsof Brexit.
A third of people (33%) now think
their personal financesw ill be hurt,
up from 23% a fortnight ago.

THE alleged killer of the Labour MP
Jo Cox shocked a courtroom yes-
terday by giving hisname as“ Death
to traitors, freedom
for Britain”
when he appeared in the dock for
the first time.
Cox, 41, a prominent “ remain”
campaigner who championed the
plight of Syrian refugees, was shot
and stabbed near her West York-
shire
constituency surgery on
Thursday — a week before the
nation goes to the polls in the EU
referendum.
Thomas Mair, 52, appeared at
Westminster magistrates’ court in
London after being charged in the
early hours w ith the MP’s murder,
grievousbodily harm, possession of
a firearm w ith intent to commit an
indictable offence and possession of
a knife.
Mair , from Birstall, near Leeds,
tw ice refused to give his real name
and stayed silent when asked for his
address and date of birth.
Shortly
after
Mair’s court
appearance, Alastair
Campbell,
Tony Blair’sformer director of com-
munications, sparked indignation
by tweeting: “ The freedom Britain
needsisfreedom from anasty Brexit
Lie Machine run by tax dodgersand
multimillionaire liars fuelling anger
and hate.”
Campbell’s
outburst
was
branded “ fantastically irrespon-
sible” by a source in the Vote Leave
campaign and drew a fierce back -
lash from other Brexiteers.
Cox’s sister and parents paid an
emotional visit to amemorial in Bir-
stall, close to where the MP died, to
thank peoplefor their outpouring of
“ grief, sympathy and love” .
“ We know that there are some
evil people in this world, but there
arean aw ful lot of good people too,”
said Cox’s sister, Kim Leadbeater.
Borrow ing one of Cox’s favourite
phrases, she called on the public to
focus on “ that which unites us not
which divides us” .
