GLASGOW
A TAXI driver is accused of sexually assaulting three women including a passenger in his cab.
Prosecutors claim Taj sexually assaulted the first complainer near Glasgow School of Art.
He is then claimed to have sexually assaulted a passenger in his taxi by asking if she wanted to kiss him and failing to desist when refused.
Adil Taj, 41, allegedly assaulted the women between September 1 and September 28 in Glasgow.
It is said Taj repeatedly attempted to kiss her and hold her by the body.
Taj allegedly stopped the taxi he was driving and entered the rear of the vehicle before exposing his penis and forced her hand on to it.
Taj’s final charge states the third complainer was sexually assaulted on various occasions at his flat in the city’s Springburn between September 27 and 28.
It is stated the woman was touched on the body and was told by Taj that he wanted to kiss her and struck her on the buttocks.
The case was dealt with administratively and a further hearing will take place in August.

National
Taxi drivers have been left without "adequate protection and guidance" despite many working throughout the lockdown, industry leaders say.
Drivers, taxi firms and industry bodies have said national safety guidance is urgently needed.
Government advice says drivers can refuse to take passengers who are not wearing face coverings.
Some report being so "desperate" they have made DIY protective screens out of cling film.
Over the past three months, drivers say their main jobs have been transporting NHS staff, key workers, patients and the vulnerable.
Figures show the profession has one of the highest rates of Covid-19 deaths.
Government advice says drivers can refuse to take passengers who are not wearing face coverings.
Many companies now provide masks and hand sanitiser, but some drivers say they have to pay for their own protection at a time when they are struggling financially.
Most taxi and private-hire drivers are male, and a high proportion are from black, Asian and ethnic minority (Bame) backgrounds - two of the groups at high risk from coronavirus.

OSLO
Jaguar Land Rover will provide 25 Jaguar I-Pace models to Cabonline, the largest taxi network in the Nordics. The cars will be equipped with Momentum Dynamic’s wireless charging technology.
A team of engineers and technicians from both Momentum Dynamics and Jaguar Land Rover were engaged to help in testing the solution, and Cabonline signed up to operate the fleet as part of Oslo’s ElectriCity programme.
The project is said to offer solutions that have widespread significance and could help adoption of electric vehicles globally.
Fortum Recharge, which is supporting the installation and electrification of the project, identified the need for a more efficient charging experience for taxi drivers in Oslo and enlisted the support of Momentum Dynamics in integrating the wireless charging infrastructure.
