Sacked defence minister Johnny Mercer is facing calls to explain why he apparently promised two former soldiers facing murder charges that their trial would not go ahead.
The case involving the men, known as Soldier A and Soldier C, began in Belfast on Monday.
But Mr Mercer’s comments have led to accusations ministers wanted to interfere in criminal proceedings.
The former veterans minister was sensationally sacked last week, hours after it emerged he planned to quit in protest at the treatment of soldiers who served in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. ....

Johnny Mercer: Boris Johnson promised to intervene to prevent murder trial


Boris Johnson fired former veterans minister Johnny Mercer last week
BORIS Johnson promised to intervene to prevent a murder trial from going ahead, a former minister has claimed.
Johnny Mercer, who was last week fired as veterans’ minister by text before he could resign, made the claims in an interview with the Daily Mail. 
Mercer, the MP for Plymouth Moor View, also implicated himself in the allegations, saying that he and the Prime Minister had made promises not to allow the murder trials in question to begin. However, Johnson seemingly did not keep his promise.
The former veterans minister had been pushing for protections against prosecution for soldiers in the Overseas Operations Bill to be extended to those who served in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. ....

Campaigners welcome MoD decision to drop five-year limit on prosecutions against British soldiers


CAMPAIGNERS have welcomed a Ministry of Defence (MoD) decision to drop plans to introduce a five-year limit on prosecutions for torture as part of a new law, but they warned that more changes are needed. 
The MoD confirmed this week that torture, genocide and war crimes would be excluded from a “presumption against prosecution” of British soldiers proposed in the Overseas Operations Bill. 
The concession follows months of campaigning by human-rights groups, which warned that such measures would amount to the “decriminalisation of torture,” and a House of Lords vote last week to exclude the crimes.
Freedom from Torture described the changes today as an “important moment for torture survivors.”  ....

Army visits to Welsh schools are a 'fig leaf' for military recruitment, report warns


ARMY visits to Welsh schools are acting as a “fig leaf” for military recruitment, with disadvantaged students particularly targeted, a new report claims. 
The Peace Pledge Union (PPU) said its research contradicts claims by the forces that they do not recruit in schools. 
The British Army offers free visits to schools across the country. 
During these visits, forces are portrayed in “misleading and simplistic ways” with alternative views left out, the report suggests.
Misleading messages are “frequently aimed at the poorest and most disadvantaged young people,” it adds. 
Concerns have been repeatedly raised about the army’s activities in schools.   ....
