Sandhu Ponnachan appears in court accused of dangerous driving and charges of causing grievous bodily harm

A 36-year-old man has been remanded into custody after appearing in court accused of dangerous driving after seven people were injured when a car hit pedestrians in Derby on Saturday night.

Sandhu Ponnachan, from the Alvaston area of the city, appeared at Southern Derbyshire magistrates court on Wednesday having also been charged with six counts of causing grievous bodily harm with intent, one count of attempted grievous bodily harm, and one count of possession of a bladed article.

François Picard is pleased to welcome Dr. Gershon Baskin, former hostage negotiator and Middle East Director of the International Communities Organisation. As someone deeply embedded in the realities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, he argues that recent developments, including the proposed death penalty law, are not isolated measures but symptoms of a broader shift toward exclusionary nationalism, legal inequality, and militarized thinking.

These trends, intensified by the trauma of October 7th and prolonged conflict, risk redefining Israel’s identity in ways that challenge both its democratic foundations and its standing in the international community. All the while, he maintains that this trajectory is neither inevitable nor irreversible.

History shows that even in deeply polarized societies, political imagination and diplomatic engagement remain the only viable paths toward sustainable peace. His hope is that both Israeli society and its international partners will recognize this before the current course becomes entrenched beyond repair.

Russia urged France on Wednesday to release Anna Novikova, ‌a ⁠Russian-French ‌national detained last year ⁠on suspicion of espionage.

Novikova, the founder ⁠of a humanitarian organisation which said it provided ‌aid to people living in Russian-controlled parts ⁠of Ukraine, is one of three people who the Paris prosecutor’s office said in November ‌were suspected of spying on behalf of a foreign power.

French prosecutors said ‌she was suspected of approaching executives of French companies to obtain information about French economic interests.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters that Novikova was being held on a false pretext in a case that exemplified the “spy mania sweeping across Europe”.

“We insist that the repression against individuals whose only crime is to express an opinion that differs ⁠from the official line in Paris must cease ⁠immediately,” Zakharova said.
