'A group of youths attacking an elderly couple in Raversham today were stopped by a mysterious masked man. He was wearing lycra leggings and a motorcycle jacket, and sprang on the attacking group with a flurry of blows before grounding one of the boys. The others fled, but the mystery man who calls himself The Disposer restrained the remaining attacker until police arrived. Mr. and Mrs. Flanshaw are very grateful to the hero that saved them, saying without his intervention, they could have been killed.'
'Recent riots across the country appear to be at an end. The riots, which have caused destruction of public and private property, along with hundreds of injured bystanders, started out as peaceful protests in London. The protestors were opposing a new law to remove the human rights of criminals, which has yet to be passed in the House of Commons. Many fear that the new law will give the government and police an ability to abuse the general public by imposing a criminal status on them, thereby removing any human rights that stop behaviour such as torture or privacy.'
'During the riots, several people have been spotted attempting to stop the rioters from attacking other people. These herioc citizens can not be named, as their identity was hidden by masks, cowls and costumes. Police are looking for one man, who was wearing a bandit mask and long black cape, for assault with a deadly weapon. The man was wielding a sabre, and used it to defend a group of women from attacking rioters. Two of the rioters were hospitalised with severe cuts to their arms and chests, none of the woman he defended were harmed.'
'Residents of Glasgow are testing a new public transport service this week, which could see a reduction in bus delays and accidents. The trial, run by Vertigo Transport Systems, will see a fleet of twelve new Fusion-powered Unmanned Civilian Transports replace several inner city bus routes. The vehicles are fully automated, including ticket dispensing and route adjustment  for closed roads, roadworks and accidents. They will also be the first public transport vehicles to be powered by the new clean fuel from TransGro Inc. Once the trial is complete, Vertigo plan to roll out the system to all major cities across the UK.'
'That's all from me, Jane Rayford, I'll be back tomorrow at six. Goodnight from all at Lookout News.'
