A man is being sought by police after a rape was reported on a university campus.

The victim, a man in his 20s, said they were raped by another man at the Bognor Regis campus of the University of Chichester in West Sussex.

Police said the incident took place between 10pm and 10.45pm on 5 January.

As part of the investigation, detectives have released images of a man they wish to speak to in connection with the case.

In the images, the man appears to be wearing a grey hoodie and trousers with a black coat. In one of the three photos, he wears glasses.

Sussex Police believe he may have information that could help with their enquiries.

Anyone who recognises him or has any other information that could help is encouraged to get in touch.

Detective inspector Matt Phelps said: “A thorough investigation has been launched into this incident, with the welfare of the victim as our foremost priority.

“We believe the man pictured here will be of great help to our enquiries and we are keen to speak to him.”

The victim is receiving support from specialist officers.

The Senate is scrambling to avoid a third government shutdown under President Donald Trump, and after negotiations seemingly appeared to hit a brick wall, lawmakers are cautiously optimistic that a deal could be made. 

Senate Republicans received Senate Democrats’ “partisan wishlist” of demands over the weekend, sources familiar with negotiations told Fox News Digital. The White House sent over its own counter-proposal, but several lawmakers weren’t clear what was in package as of Monday night. 

Some, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., wouldn’t say, but noted that congressional Democrats and the White House were “trading papers,” and signaled that the back and forth activity was a good sign of negotiations moving forward. 

But lawmakers aren’t out of the woods yet, a reality that Thune warned of since Senate Democrats demanded a two-week funding extension for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Congress has until Friday to avert a shutdown and little time to actually move a short-term patch from one side of the building to the other. 

REPUBLICANS WARN DEMOCRATS’ ICE REFORM PUSH IS COVER TO DEFUND BORDER ENFORCEMENT

Republicans are mulling another short-term extension, known as a continuing resolution (CR), to avert a partial shutdown. Thune said whether Democrats would sign off depended on how well background negotiations were going, but hinted that so far, things were moving toward a solution. 

“I think, based on what I’m familiar with about the discussion so far, I think there is, but we’ll know more when the proposal comes back,” Thune said. “Let’s have a chance to evaluate it.” 

Thune later said that he planned to tee up another CR on Tuesday, but noted that the length would “have to be negotiated. But let’s see what the next day brings and we’ll go from there.”

Democrats’ prime objective is reining in Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), following the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Nicole Good. 

The proposal they submitted included items that are a bridge too far for Republicans, including requiring ICE agents to get judicial warrants, de-mask and have identification ready — some in the GOP warn doing so would lead to more agents being doxxed, or when a person’s private information is made public, like their address. 

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., warned that the “clock is ticking” for Republicans to respond. 

SHUTDOWN AVERTED FOR NOW, BUT SENATE WARNS DHS FIGHT COULD TRIGGER ANOTHER IN DAYS

“We have sent you our proposals, and they are exceedingly reasonable,” Schumer said on the Senate floor. “I hope our colleagues on the other side, many of whom, at least here in the Senate, recognize that things need to change, show they’re ready to act in a meaningful way.”

Prior to Democrats finally handing over the legislative version of their demands on Saturday, Republicans publicly questioned if they actually wanted to have serious negotiations. That changed over the weekend. 

A White House official told Fox News that “President Trump has been consistent, he wants the government open and the Administration has been working with both parties to ensure the American people don’t have to endure another drawn-out, senseless, and hurtful shutdown.”

Meanwhile, the scope and scale of a possible third closure would be limited to just the DHS, but would really only have an effect on FEMA, TSA, the Coast Guard and other priorities under the agency’s umbrella. That’s because ICE and immigration operations are flush with billions from Trump’s “big, beautiful bill.” 

“To say that the security of Americans is not paramount, I think, would be a huge mistake for the Democrats, and I certainly hope that they’ll continue to operate in good faith,” Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala., and the chair of the Homeland Security spending panel, said.

“Because you do realize, ICE and [Customs and Border Patrol] would continue to be funded,” she continued.

Things are also about to get complicated quickly in the upper chamber. Lawmakers are set to leave Washington, D.C., for a weeklong recess this Thursday, and many are headed overseas to the Munich Security Conference. 

That starts on the day of the deadline and lasts through the weekend. Thune warned that it was possible he would cancel the upcoming recess, especially if there was little progress toward avoiding a DHS shutdown. 

Still, Senate Democrats believe that the ball is in the GOP’s court and are waiting for their counterparts to act.

“I mean, I think they’re pretty reasonable,” Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., and the top Democrat on the Senate Homeland Security Appropriations panel, said.

“I mean, we did not ask for the moon,” he continued. “We asked for targeted but impactful changes in the way that ICE is terrorizing American cities. So obviously we’re willing to negotiate.”

The Prince of Wales has been asked to raise the case of a Manchester man detained in Saudi Arabia during his first official trip to the country.

In a letter, exclusively shared with Sky News, Amnesty International has written to Prince William sharing the plight of Ahmed al-Doush.

The father of four, and senior banking analyst for Bank of America, was returning from a holiday in Saudi with his wife and children in 2024 when he was arrested for past social media posts and his alleged association with a Saudi critic in exile, which he denies.

He was initially sentenced to ten years in prison now reduced to eight.

Sky News approached the Saudi embassy for comment but received no response.

Felix Jakens, head of campaigns for Amnesty, told us: “It was unsurprising the UK government and our economy and society are moving much closer to Saudi Arabia, so we would expect to see a royal visit at some point.

“Obviously, what we as a human rights organisation want to do is make sure that human rights are part of that conversation…

“Obviously, we wouldn’t be expecting him (Prince William) to make big public statements about human rights in Saudi Arabia, but we know that some of these issues are close to his and his wife’s heart, so we’d just be asking him whether, in private, he’d be willing to raise the case of Ahmed.”

Prince William’s trip overshadowed by Epstein?

Talking about the impact on the al-Doush family, Haydee Dijkstal, Mr al-Doush’s legal representative, said: “His wife has spoken about the core role that Ahmed had in their family, not only as a provider, as the main provider for the family, but as a loving father.

“And his absence has been very much missed by his wife and children, and has had a serious impact on them.

“And this in addition to the most recent concerns about the fact that Ahmed’s health and well-being, and the recent fear about his mental health, his mental well-being as well, have led his wife to appeal directly to the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia.”

We understand his case has been raised by the UK with Saudi authorities.

The Foreign Office told Sky News: “We are supporting a British man who is detained in Saudia Arabia and are in contact with his family and the local authorities.”

This visit was always going to have its political sensitivities.

Kensington Palace wouldn’t comment on the letter from Amnesty, but talking more widely about Prince William’s three-day visit, a royal source said: “Prince William didn’t blink [when asked to go].

“He knows this is an important part of his global role for UK PLC.”

Prince William spent his first night in Saudi with his royal counterpart Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia; the man credited with having a more open and more modern vision for Saudi, albeit one that some would suggest hasn’t been wide-reaching enough in the political arena.

But the first full day of engagements for William will be a display of how the country has liberalised and changed its focus, from meeting women’s football teams, talking about their energy transition away from a dependence on oil and taking part in an e-gaming competition, another part of how Saudi’s economy is diversifying, and trying to draw in a global tourism audience.

William is also tasked with trying to maintain the attention on the significance of the trip after statements were released yesterday both on his behalf and from Buckingham Palace about the Epstein files and Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s association with the convicted paedophile.

Andrew denies any wrongdoing in relation to Epstein.

Trans fever has broken. All it took was a president with the guts to call out the evil being done to children across America and a shocking $2 million settlement awarded to a young girl whose body was mutilated by the grown-ups supposedly looking after her.

Bless President Donald Trump for tackling the trans issue head on in his current term, defying the woke police. In his first few weeks in office, he issued a number of executive orders that reset the issue of gender “fluidity”, declaring that henceforward, agencies would acknowledge two sexes — male and female. No more marking passports with an “X”; no more biological men locked up in women’s prisons. 

Trump demanded that schools stop pushing gender ideology in their curriculums (no more picture books like “When Aiden Became a Brother” targeting four-year-olds) and using pronouns based on gender identity rather than sex. Trump also challenged the granddaddy of transgender issues by declaring that the “policy of the United States [is] to oppose male competitive participation in women’s sports…as a matter of safety, fairness, dignity, and truth.” 

I WAS 15 AND TRUSTED THE ‘EXPERTS’ ON GENDER CARE. TURNS OUT, THEY WERE WINGING IT

Most importantly, the president declared the government would “not fund, sponsor… or support the so-called ‘transition’ of a child from one sex to another.”

An estimated 4,000 children aged 12 to 18 have endured trans surgeries over the past four years in the U.S., a period during which many countries in Europe moved away from such procedures, declaring them “experimental” and the medical evidence supporting them unreliable. 

As The Economist wrote in 2023, “Some older studies suggest that, left alone, most children will naturally grow out of their dysphoric feelings.” They also reported that the longer-term impact of puberty blockers are unknown but might include problems with “brain development and decreasing bone density.”

Why didn’t America’s doctors investigate the revealing studies and reach the same conclusions as their colleagues in Britain, or Sweden or France? Maybe because concerns about botched diagnoses and harmful surgeries were dismissed by people like Rachel Levine, former President Joe Biden’s assistant secretary for health, who claimed that such reports were just anecdotal. Levine, herself a trans person, claimed, in a radio interview, that, “There is no argument among medical professionals…about the value and the importance of gender-affirming care.” Except, actually, there was.

PLASTIC SURGEON CITES ‘EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL,’ POOR EVIDENCE IN WARNING AGAINST YOUTH GENDER SURGERIES

As this shameful chapter in American medicine comes to a close, let us hope that a veritable tsunami of lawsuits follows, charging doctors, parents and educators with having ruined the lives of far too many children.

Adults who were either too ignorant or too craven to confront the madness of the moment, and who turned a blind eye to the ghastly “gender affirming” cruelty that was ruining the lives of (mainly) young girls. They have no excuse. The transgender craze, and gender confusion was, from the beginning, very much a fad.

In 2023, when a staggering 38% of students at Brown University declared themselves “not straight”, compared to only 7% of Americans overall, didn’t anyone at that Ivy school imagine that something was screwy?

PRISHA MOSLEY: DOCTORS TOOK MY BODY APART FOR GENDER ‘CARE.’ NOW THEY ADMIT IT WAS WRONG

And yes, there are people who suffer from genuine gender dysphoria, and who need help. But doctors should know the difference between that rare condition and normal adolescent explorations and confusions.

Like most fads, this concept of gender fluidity is fading. The number of kids claiming to be neither male nor female has plummeted. According to one researcher, “The transgender share among university students peaked in 2023 and has almost halved since, from nearly 7 percent to under 4 percent.” Do we really think the biological makeup of young people changed radically in a matter of a few years? Of course not; young people simply moved on. 

But a number of girls and women in our country cannot move on. One of those is Fox Varian, the 22-year-old from New York state who sued her psychologist and plastic surgeon for performing a double mastectomy on her when she was only 16. She won a $2 million lawsuit against the doctors who recommended the procedure; the jury agreed that the treatment was ill-advised and that Fox, who had a multi-year history of mental health issues, was not given proper care.

DETRANSITIONER PREDICTS MASSIVE WAVE OF LAWSUITS AFTER LANDMARK $2 MILLION VERDICT

There are a number of similar lawsuits in the pipeline, lodged by women whose breasts have been removed or were prescribed puberty blockers at a young age and who later regretted their decision. Chloe Cole is one of the most vocal “detransitioners” who underwent radical surgery and trans treatment beginning at 13 years of age. As she said in an affidavit, “The worst part about my transition would be the long-term health effects that I didn’t knowingly consent to at the time.” 

In a recent interview on Fox News, Chloe said she expected the recent decision would prove a “massive precedent” and that similar lawsuits would flood the country. Let us hope so. 

It is not an easy path to challenge woke gender orthodoxy. Chloe Cole has been doxed and shamed by the trans community; they despise anyone who believes this transition should be left only to adults capable of making such a profound decision.

The American Society of Plastic Surgeons issued a statement after the Varian verdict admitting that, “there is considerable uncertainty as to the long-term efficacy for the use of chest and genital surgical interventions for the treatment of adolescents with gender dysphoria, and the existing evidence base is viewed as low quality/low certainty.” In other words, the medical basis for such life-changing interventions is garbage.

The American Medical Association, the country’s largest physician group, has also pivoted, declaring that children should not receive surgical gender realigning treatments. Surely the American Academy of Pediatrics, which reaffirmed their backing of trans mutilations as recently as 2023, will follow suit.

Too little, too late for some women who will forever live with the consequences of a nation and a medical community afraid to tell the truth.
