LONDON, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 13: Police contain supporters of Tommy Robinson at the top end of Whitehall during the "Unite The Kingdom" rally on September 13, 2025 in London, England. Far-right activist Tommy Robinson (also known as Stephen Yaxley-Lennon) has invited supporters to hold a rally in central London entitled "Unite The Kingdom". The former English Defence League leader and his supporters are actively islamaphobic and racist and have been behind much of the unrest seen outside hotels housing migrants this summer. Stand Up To Racism are mounting a counter-protest to today's rally. (Photo by Guy Smallman/Getty Images)

Utah Governor Spencer Cox speaks a press conference outside the Doterra Auditorium at Utah Valley University a day after youth activist and influencer Charlie Kirk was shot during a public event in Orem, Utah, on September 11, 2025. The gunman who shot dead US right-wing youth leader Charlie Kirk in a targeted killing remained at large Thursday but authorities said they have video images of the suspect and have recovered a "high-powered" rifle. Kirk, a 31-year-old superstar on the Republican right who was credited with helping Donald Trump return to the presidency last year, was shot while addressing a large crowd at Utah Valley University on Wednesday.
