UK Prime Minister Theresa May has said she would not hesitate to change human rights laws if they "get in the way" of combating terror. Speaking specifically about terrorist suspects, she said changes would be made in order to "restrict the freedom and movements" of anyone under suspicion and make it easier to deport foreign suspects. The announcement comes after two recent terror attacks - one in Manchester and one in London - and ahead of the general election vote scheduled for Thursday. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said terrorism could not be beaten "by ripping up basic rights."
