London's Metropolitan Police have charged Abdullah Sabah Albadri, a 33-year-old man, with preparing 'terrorist acts' and possession of a pointed or bladed article, following an incident at the Israeli Embassy in Kensington. The arrest occurred on Monday evening after officers from the Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command noticed Albadri attempting to gain unauthorized access to the embassy grounds.

Commander Dominic Murphy, leading the Counter Terrorism Command, emphasized that initial investigations suggest Albadri acted alone and that there is no broader threat to public safety. 'We continue with our investigation and would urge the public not to speculate further at this time,' Murphy stated, highlighting the ongoing nature of the inquiry despite the charges already laid.

The incident has drawn attention to the security measures surrounding diplomatic premises in London, particularly those associated with nations involved in geopolitical tensions. The swift response by the police underscores the high level of vigilance maintained around such sensitive locations.

Albadri is scheduled to appear in court, marking the next step in a legal process that will scrutinize the motives behind the alleged attempt to breach embassy security. The case has reignited discussions on the challenges of preventing lone-actor threats in urban centers.

British actor Callum Turner and pop superstar Dua Lipa have captured public attention with their whirlwind romance that began in January 2024 and culminated in an engagement confirmed in June. The couple's relationship timeline includes key public milestones, from being spotted together after the 'Masters of the Air' premiere in London to making their red carpet debut at the 2025 Met Gala. Their journey from initial meeting to engagement has unfolded over approximately 18 months, with both stars navigating demanding careers while building their personal connection.

The couple's first encounter reads like something from a romantic screenplay. Turner, 35, revealed to The Times that they finally met at a mutual friend's birthday party in Los Angeles after experiencing several 'near-misses' where their paths almost crossed but didn't. The most remarkable aspect of their initial meeting occurred when they sat next to each other and discovered they were both reading the same book, Hernán Díaz's 'Trust,' and had both just finished the first chapter. Turner described the moment as cinematic, noting that they realized they were 'on the same page' both literally and figuratively.

Maintaining a relationship between two high-profile careers requires strategic effort, and Turner has shared insights into how they manage the challenges of long-distance dating. The actor emphasized the importance of making time for each other regardless of busy schedules, stating their motto is 'it's never not worth it.' He recounted a recent instance where he flew to Boston for just two days to see Lipa between her tour commitments and his filming schedule, despite feeling exhausted. The couple relies heavily on FaceTime to stay connected and prioritizes creating meaningful memories during their limited time together.

Before their fateful meeting, Turner and Lipa experienced what he describes as multiple 'sliding doors' moments that nearly prevented their connection. The actor detailed one specific instance where Lipa left a party at 1:45 AM and he arrived at 2:00 AM, missing each other by mere minutes. These near-misses spanned several occasions involving mutual friends and shared social circles. Turner expressed gratitude that when they finally did meet under the right circumstances, he immediately recognized Lipa as 'the most beautiful woman in the world,' setting the stage for a relationship that would quickly progress from dating to engagement.
