PRESS REVIEW – Friday, May 1: The British papers are still covering the anti-Semitic attack in London. Meanwhile, The New York Times investigates hybrid warfare methods against Jewish targets. Next, a British advertising company is greenwashing the US oil industry. Also, Banksy has made another appearance. Finally, a trainee bus driver has a bad day at the office south of Paris.

The British front pages discuss the aftermath of Wednesday's anti-Semitic knife attack in the Golders Green neighbourhood of LondonThe Guardian shows Prime Minister Keir Starmer meeting with members of a local Jewish security organisation there. The Daily Mirror has a very similar photo on its front page. The Telegraph, though, shows the protesters who were waiting for the prime minister when he arrived. The Daily Mail asks why the suspect was "free to roam the streets with a knife".

The New York Times looks into investigations surrounding recent attacks against Jewish targets across Europe. The article explains that in many cases those perpetrating the attack were not affiliated to any cause and that many were teenagers recruited through Snapchat or Telegram and promised quick cash in exchange for their actions. 

The Times discusses hybrid warfare by Russia in Poland. The paper interviews one Polish general who is urging NATO to take the situation more seriously. 

The Guardian has a long read about a British advertising conglomerate that has been greenwashing the US oil industry on a billion-dollar scale. According to a US congressional investigation, fossil fuel companies used "deceptive and misleading" advertising strategies designed to undermine climate policy. 

Staying in London, the BBC reports that a statue appeared in the early hours of Wednesday morning in the middle of Waterloo Place. Banksy has since confirmed that he is behind the new addition to London's landscape. 

Finally, a trainee bus driver drove into the River Seine on Thursday, after crashing into a car and losing control. Luckily, all those on board were rescued and unharmed.
