No police officers will be  charged. The two defendants will appear at Liverpool  Magistrates' Court on  Thursday 16 January  2025.
Frank Ferguson,  head of the CPS Special Crime and  Counter-Terrorism Branch, said:  "Following our  investigation into an incident at Manchester Airport in July 2024, the Crown Prosecution Service has today  charged two  individuals.

"This was a high-profile incident  which generated considerable public interest and media coverage at the time, and we have worked closely from the outset with investigators from the Independent Office for Police Conduct and Greater Manchester Police. 
"We have reviewed all available evidence, including witness statements, video footage, expert reports and other  documents relating to  the use of  police force, to make an independent and objective assessment  of the appropriateness of bringing charges  in court.
"Based on a careful  review of this evidence, we have concluded that two men should be charged with offences including  assault on police  officers. "We have  come to the conclusion that no charges should be brought against  the officers. We  have considered the potential offences of  battery and common assault, and  considered expert evidence in the form of an independent report from an expert  on the use of  force by the police, to inform this  decision.
"We have always  ensured that police training is also  considered as part of these  decisions and in this case the combination of  evidence and expert opinion meant  that there was no  real prospect of  conviction.
"We understand that in this  case, as in any  other case, the  weight of feeling  was great. Our specially trained prosecutors are often  on the  front lines dealing with high-profile cases  that are subject to intense public and media scrutiny and always make independent and objective decisions based on all  the evidence available. "The Crown Prosecution Service  would like to remind everyone that criminal proceedings are  ongoing and  that each of the  accused is entitled to a fair  trial.
"It is extremely important that no reporting,  comment or sharing of information  on the internet is likely to prejudice these proceedings."
Notes to  the editor
Mohammed Fahir Amaaz [DOB: 22/10/2004] is charged with  wilful battery under section 47 x 2, assault  on a lifeguard and  simple assault (against a member of the public).
Muhammed Amaad [DOB: 27/06/1999] is charged with  malicious wounding under section  47. The CPS Special Crime  Branch deals with the most complex and sensitive cases in England and  Wales, including disasters, serious criminal  charges against police officers, manslaughter and  electoral crimes

A prominent Syria rebel leader has dismissed controversy surrounding a photo of him with a woman, which has sparked outrage and criticism among some conservative groups. The leader, who has been a key figure in the Syrian opposition movement, was photographed with the woman, who is not his wife, at a social gathering.

The photo was widely shared on social media, sparking a heated debate about the leader's personal life and his commitment to Islamic values. Some critics accused the leader of being hypocritical and of failing to uphold the moral standards expected of him as a leader.

The rebel leader has responded to the criticism, saying that the photo was taken out of context and that he has done nothing wrong. He argued that the woman in the photo is a friend and a colleague, and that their relationship is purely platonic.

The leader also criticized those who have attacked him over the photo, saying that they are trying to distract from the real issues facing Syria. He argued that the country is facing a catastrophic humanitarian crisis, and that the focus should be on finding a solution to the conflict rather than on personal attacks.

The controversy surrounding the photo has highlighted the challenges faced by rebel leaders in Syria, who are often subject to intense scrutiny and criticism. The leader's response to the controversy has been seen as an attempt to deflect attention from his personal life and to refocus attention on the broader issues facing the country.

The incident has also sparked a wider debate about the role of women in Syrian society and the challenges faced by women in the country. Some have argued that the controversy surrounding the photo is a reflection of the deeply conservative attitudes that prevail in some parts of Syrian society.

The rebel leader's decision to speak out against the criticism has been seen as a bold move, given the conservative nature of Syrian society. However, it remains to be seen how the controversy will affect his reputation and his ability to lead.

The controversy surrounding the photo has also sparked a lively debate on social media, with some users defending the rebel leader and others criticizing him. The incident has highlighted the power of social media to shape public opinion and to influence the way that people think about important issues.

As the controversy continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the rebel leader will respond to the criticism and how the incident will affect his reputation and his ability to lead. One thing is certain, however: the controversy surrounding the photo has sparked an important debate about the role of women in Syrian society and the challenges faced by rebel leaders in the country.

The incident has also raised questions about the role of social media in shaping public opinion and influencing the way that people think about important issues. Some have argued that social media has the power to both unite and divide people, and that it can be used to spread misinformation and propaganda.

As the controversy surrounding the photo continues to unfold, it remains to be seen how the rebel leader will respond to the criticism and how the incident will affect his reputation and his ability to lead. One thing is certain, however: the controversy surrounding the photo has sparked an important debate about the role of women in Syrian society and the challenges faced by rebel leaders in the country.

A group of teenagers has been detained in connection with the mistaken murders of two innocent boys, Max and Mason. The teens, whose names have not been released, are accused of carrying out the brutal attack in a case of mistaken identity.

According to reports, the teens had been seeking revenge against a rival group, but mistakenly targeted Max and Mason, who were not involved in the dispute. The two boys were found dead in a park, with multiple stab wounds and blunt force trauma.

The community has been left reeling by the senseless murders of Max and Mason, who were described as "good kids" with bright futures ahead of them. The case has sparked widespread outrage and calls for greater action to be taken to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future.

As the investigation continues, police are urging anyone with information about the murders to come forward. The detention of the teenagers is a significant step towards justice, but there is still much work to be done to ensure that those responsible for the murders are held accountable.

The case has also raised concerns about the growing problem of youth violence and the need for greater support and resources to be made available to young people. Many are calling for greater investment in community programs and services that can help to prevent such tragedies from occurring in the future.

As the community continues to grapple with the aftermath of the murders, there is a growing sense of determination to ensure that justice is served and that something positive can come out of this tragedy. The detention of the teenagers is a significant step towards justice, and it is hoped that it will bring some measure of closure to the families and friends of Max and Mason.
