The hostage-taker, reported to be a 32-year-old asylum seeker from Iran, boarded a local train near Yverdon.

Reverend Matthew Firth tells how he wanted to hit stop button on the ‘conveyor belt’ of asylum seekers converting to Christianity
In 2018, when the Reverend Matthew Firth took up his new post at St Cuthbert’s, the church which has been at the heart of the north-eastern market town of Darlington since the 12th century, he was eager to bring new souls to the faith he passionately believes in.
It didn’t take long, however, for Matthew to figure out that there was something suspicious about the large number of souls from the Middle East who were queuing up to be converted to Christianity.
In 2023, around the world, 4,998 Christians — on average, 13 a day — were “killed for faith related reasons.” Another 4,125 Christians were illegally detained or arrested, and 14,766 churches and other Christian institutions were attacked.
Overall, the global persecution of Christians remains higher than ever, with 365 million believers suffering “high levels of persecution and discrimination for their faith.”

Forty illegal migrants being housed on the Bibby Stockholm accommodation barge in Dorset are reportedly converting to Christianity. That amounts to almost one in seven of those said to be on board.
But officials fear that migrants are faking conversions simply to have their asylum claims accepted, and are considering limiting the role of the Church of England in the approvals process. Allison Pearson, columnist at The Daily Telegraph, asked “how stupid and craven is the Church of England” to believe that all of these claims are genuine.
Detectives have said they believe the Afghan asylum seeker suspected of carrying out a chemical attack in Clapham is being helped by others, as officers began to “target his associates”.

US-backed Kurdish fighters in Syria have liberated a Yazidi woman who had been held for a decade by Islamic State (IS), where she was raped and forced to marry extremists.

Priests must look out for “red flags” when baptising asylum seekers because some are faking conversion, an evangelical church leader has said.
Pastor Graham Nicholls, the director of Affinity, a network of 1,200 evangelical churches and ministries in the UK, said that church leaders “need discernment” to “test whether people are genuine in their beliefs”, adding that in some cases, some prospective converts are “faking it”.
His intervention came as the manhunt for Abdul Shokoor Ezedi, the Clapham chemical attack suspect, continued on Monday with Metropolitan Police detectives saying he could be dead in the River Thames.

A Michigan suburb with the largest Muslim population in the US has upped its security in fear of hate attacks after it was branded America’s ‘jihad capital.’
The headline of a Wall Street Journal opinion piece published on Friday read ‘Welcome to Dearborn, America’s Jihad Capital‘ – a title given to the city by the publication because of its residents’ pro-Palestine stances.
The contentious article was written by Steven Stalinsky, who is a commentator on terrorism and has served as executive director of the Middle East Media Research Institute, based in Washington DC, since 1999.
I don’t know what the upset is about Dearborn is America’s Jihad capital.
Here is the full article – Welcome to Dearborn, America’s Jihad Capital
Islamist extremists have attacked, murdered and menaced parliamentarians. Where’s the anger?
It’s only been a few days since Mike Freer, Tory MP for Finchley and Golders Green in London, announced he will resign from parliament at the next election, following more than a decade of death threats from Islamists over his support for Israel. And yet already it feels like old news.
Could Britain’s military defeat a Muslim insurgency? Canada will be in the same spot soon enough and it is doubtful we will have an army strong enough to defeat a Muslim insurgency.
A principal in Europe: A 12-year-old boy came to me and said, ‘I hate you. We will take back the country’. They reject our culture, our values. Their hatred is unimaginable.”
Katharine Birbalsingh, known as “Britain’s strictest headteacher”, has just been forced to ban Muslim prayers at her school after teachers were attacked. This time we are in London.

Our politicians cannot bring themselves to say that this violent sex offender should never have been granted asylum.
We are led by lunatics. What other conclusion can you draw after the past 24 hours, following the horrific alkali attack in south London and the sickening attempts by the political and media classes to downplay the appalling, central fact of this case: that the alleged perpetrator was a convicted violent criminal who should never have been in this country at all, an Afghan national who was granted asylum on his third attempt and following a conviction for sexual offences.
