The Independent's Morning Headlines email [View online]( March 28, 2023 [Morning Headlines]( 1 / [‘Paranoid’ Prince Harry lost friends over ‘unlawful’ newspaper stories, court hears]( [Prince Harry]( suffered from “suspicion and paranoia” and lost friends because of newspaper articles, a court heard on Monday, as he launched his campaign to reform the media with a surprise appearance in London. The [Duke of Sussex]( flew 5,500 miles from his new home in California to attend a High Court hearing as the [Daily Mail](’s publisher bids to throw out claims against its titles, including accusations of phone-hacking. Also in court were Sir [Elton John](, Sadie Frost, and [Baroness Lawrence](, who are among the public figures suing [Associated Newspapers]( for alleged unlawful activity. It came as: - Buckingham Palace said the King won’t meet Harry during his visit - Sir Elton’s lawyers said his home phone was “tapped” - Lady Lawrence was said to feel a “deep sense of betrayal” after trusting the Daily Mail - Harry made his first appearance in London since the Queen’s funeral   2 / [Scottish independence ‘dead’ after Humza Yousaf SNP win, claim Labour and Tories]( Nicola Sturgeon’s successor to demand referendum ‘straight away’ and vows to lead Scotland back into EU 3 / [Tory right wing ‘very optimistic’ Braverman will toughen asylum bill to block European judges]( Rebels expect government to tighten bill to stop European Court of Human Rights blocking deportations 4 / [Charities condemn government crackdown on ‘nuisance’ beggars]( Homelessness charities have warned a new government measure, replacing the Vagrancy Act which criminalised all rough sleeping, will further result in the ‘criminalisation’ of homeless people 5 / [Police release chilling CCTV footage of Nashville gunman shooting way into school]( Police say the shooter was armed with three guns   The Big Question Why have there been protests in Israel? Thousands of people have taken to the streets of [Israel]( evening to protest against prime minister [Benjamin Netanyahu](’s [controversial reforms]( to the country’s judicial system. Chanting “the country is on fire”, demonstrators gathered outside Mr Netanyahu’s residence in [Jerusalem]( on Sunday evening to demand the draft legislation be withdrawn, only to be dispersed by police water cannons. Bonfires were meanwhile lit along [Tel Aviv](’s biggest motorway, [forcing road closures]( and causing traffic mayhem. On Monday, the protests continued, while Israel’s largest union, Histadrut, which represents 700,000 workers across a huge variety of professions, called for an immediate general strike. Universities have closed their doors “until further notice” and flights from Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion airport have been grounded, as pressure grows to halt the legislation. Mr Netanyahu’s proposals, which have caused controversy since their unveiling on 4 January, would allow for a simple majority of 61 in the 120-seat Knesset to override almost any supreme court rulings, and to allow politicians have more say on the justices appointed to the bench. Protests over the legislation have been a constant feature of over the last two months.
