Israel plans to build undersea electricity cable linking to grids in Europe and Gulf-The proposed 150km subsea electricity cable will run along Israel’s Mediterranean coast from Ashkelon in the south to Haifa in the north-By Sharon Wrobel-JUL 4,23-Today, 6:22 pm

Israel is advancing plans for the construction of an underwater electricity cable project to meet growing energy needs in the center and north of the country and to link the country’s electricity network to power grids in Europe and countries in the Gulf region.The national planning and building council on Tuesday decided to commence with the planning and construction of the proposed 150-kilometer (93-mile) subsea electricity cable that will run along Israel’s Mediterranean coast from Ashkelon in the south to Haifa in the north, the Energy Ministry said in a statement. The underwater power cable will transmit electricity mainly generated from renewable solar energy fields in Israel’s south to areas of demand in cities in the center and the north.According to the subsea cable project plan, the possibility of connecting Israel’s electricity network to power grids in Europe via Cyprus and Greece will be advanced, as well as the option of connecting to Gulf countries through Jordan and Egypt, the ministry said.Connecting the underwater cable to regional countries such as Egypt would open the possibility to have a backup for the local grid in case of power shortages and allow for exports of green electricity produced in Israel, the ministry said.The project is part of a broader vision by Energy and Infrastructure Minister Israel Katz to turn Israel into an energy power and an energy bridge connecting East and West while strengthening its international status.“I welcome the first step on the way to establishing an undersea electricity cable along Israel’s coast – a groundbreaking cross-border project that will move the Israeli electricity grid forward and help Israel become an energy power,” Katz said. “The cable is a significant part of the national plan for energy and infrastructure that I will present in the coming weeks, to improve the reliability of the electricity system, accelerate the deployment of renewable energies, and link Israel’s electricity grid to Europe, Egypt, Jordan, and the Gulf states — a step that will contribute to regional stability.”Recent heatwaves leading to power outages in the country as the country’s electricity grid struggles to meet sweltering demand have made energy security and independence even more pressing. At the beginning of June, heatwave-related power cuts affected some 260,000 Israelis as temperatures rose above 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit), while high winds whipped up hundreds of fires across the country, closing roads and forcing some evacuations.Earlier in June, the planning and building council approved a proposal to allocate 40,000 more dunams (10,000 acres) of land in open areas for solar power facilities. The decision fell short of the 69,000 dunams the Energy Ministry, which submitted the request, had sought. That’s as Israel has set itself a target to generate 30 percent of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. Most of that will be solar energy. But by the end of last year, the state was barely scraping 10%, a goal it should have reached by 2020.The plan for the underwater electricity cable comes after Katz in June paid a visit to France where he toured the IFA-2 subsea electrical interconnector running beneath the English Channel between France and the United Kingdom.Separately, state-owned energy group EAPC (Europe Asia Pipeline Co.) announced last month that it has reached an agreement with the Israeli government to build a 254-kilometer (158-mile) fiber optic cable between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea as part of a national project to turn Israel into a communications hub and corridor for data transmission in the Middle East, connecting Europe to the Gulf states and Asia. The fiber optic infrastructure will be built along EAPC’s oil pipeline between the Mediterranean port of Ashkelon and the Red Sea port of Eilat.As part of the project, EAPC will build at its facilities in Ashkelon and Eilat, two landing stations to connect to incoming subsea cables from Europe, Asia and the Middle East. EAPC will also install a connection for communication providers in Jordan, at the Wadi Araba border crossing, known as the Yitzhak Rabin terminal on the Israeli side.

7 injured in terrorist ramming-stabbing attack in Tel Aviv; assailant killed-Palestinian terrorist shot dead by armed civilian after ramming pickup truck into pedestrians, stabbing others on Pinchas Rosen Street-By Emanuel Fabian-JUL 4,23

Seven people were wounded, four of them seriously, in a car-ramming and stabbing terror attack in northern Tel Aviv on Tuesday afternoon, police and medics said.According to police, the Palestinian assailant rammed his pickup truck into people on a sidewalk on Pinchas Rosen Street in the city, then got out and stabbed others.He was shot dead by an armed civilian.Police spokesman Eli Levy said the incident was a terror attack.Four of the victims were listed in serious and moderate-to-serious condition, the nearby Ichilov and Beilinson hospitals said. Another three were listed in moderate and good-to-moderate condition. One person was also brought to Ichilov after suffering acute anxiety.Surveillance camera footage showed the moment the terrorist slammed into pedestrians at a bus stop. Moments later he was seen emerging from the car and rushing at and stabbing onlookers.Another video clip circulating on social media showed an armed man wearing a motorcycle helmet shooting the apparent assailant with a handgun multiple times, as well as kicking away a knife from his hand.The Shin Bet security agency said the terrorist who carried out the attack did not have an entry permit to Israel.The agency in a statement named the attacker as Abed al-Wahab Khalaila, 20, from the West Bank town of as-Samu, in the South Hebron Hills area.Earlier reports by Hebrew-language media incorrectly named the attacker as Hussein Khalaila, 23, an apparent relative who did have a permit to enter Israel for medical care.The Shin Bet said the attacker, Abed al-Wahab Khalaila, had no known prior security offenses.The Hamas terror group said Khalaila was a member but stopped short of claiming responsibility for the attack.The attack came as the Israeli military was carrying out a major operation in the northern West Bank city of Jenin.The operation came after a series of Palestinian terror attacks against Israelis killed 24 people since the start of this year. Many of the attackers came from Jenin and its environs.On Monday, in another suspected terror attack, a Palestinian teenager stabbed and lightly hurt an Israeli man in the Tel Aviv suburb of Bnei Brak.

IDF: Palestinian gunmen ‘fortified’ Jenin mosque, dug tunnel underneath-Military releases footage of house of worship turned into outpost and weapons cache for members of terror groups, amid major operation in northern West Bank city-By Emanuel Fabian-JUL 4,23-Today, 1:18 pm

The Israel Defense Forces on Tuesday accused Palestinian gunmen in the West Bank city of Jenin of turning a mosque into a “fortified” hideout, complete with an underground tunnel and a cache of weapons.Israeli forces gained control of the al-Ansari mosque on Monday afternoon, following a shootout with Palestinian gunmen in the area, during the course of a major counterterrorism operation against the Jenin refugee camp.The IDF said it carried out a drone strike against the armed Palestinians outside the mosque and later managed to break inOn the ground floor, troops found two tunnel openings that the army said were connected. Explosives, weapons, and other military equipment were found inside the holes and scattered across the mosque.“All of this excavation work in the mosque has turned it into a fortified site,” said Lt. Col. “Mem,” the commander of the elite Egoz unit, who can only be identified by his rank and initial of his first name in Hebrew.Footage released by the army showed dozens of sandbags and stones piled up across the ground floor of the mosque.Mem said the fortification of the mosque and the tunnel digging likely took the gunmen a long time to carry out.The equipment was seized, the weapons were destroyed, and the tunnel was rendered inoperable, the IDF said.The military’s operation in Jenin was set to continue Tuesday following a mostly uneventful night that saw Palestinian gunmen choosing not to fight Israeli forces, potentially signaling an approaching end to the campaign, now in its second day.Israel launched the major operation early Monday to crack down on what it says is a hotbed of terror in the city. A number of attacks on Israelis in recent years have been carried out by Palestinians from the area, and observers say the Palestinian Authority has little control on the ground.The IDF’s operation has focused on a local wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group known as the Jenin Battalion, as well as other smaller armed groups in the city and refugee camp.Over 1,000 IDF troops were involved in the campaign, which appeared to be the largest in the West Bank in some 20 years.Palestinian health officials said Tuesday morning that ten people were killed and at least 100 others were wounded, including 20 listed in serious condition, during Israeli airstrikes and in clashes with Israeli forces the previous day.All of the slain Palestinians were involved in the fighting, but there were some noncombatants among the wounded, according to the IDF.The IDF said that since the early hours of Monday, troops had questioned over 120 Palestinian suspects. Some were released, while others were taken in for additional questioning.The IDF believes there were some 300 Palestinian gunmen in the Jenin refugee camp. IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said the military had intelligence on the identities of at least 160 armed Palestinians.Some 3,000 Palestinians streamed out of the Jenin refugee camp on Monday night to escape the fighting, although the IDF said it had not ordered an evacuation and that there was no closure on Jenin.The military operation began shortly after 1 a.m. on Monday with a series of airstrikes against multiple targets in the city, including a joint war room shared by various armed groups in the city.Throughout the campaign, the IDF said, troops located and demolished weapon storage sites, explosives labs with hundreds of primed devices, war rooms used by Palestinian gunmen to observe Israeli forces, and other “terror infrastructure.”Troops also clashed with armed Palestinians and carried out some 20 drone strikes against various targets in the refugee camp.Internally, the military has referred to the operation by name, calling it “Bayit Vegan,” literally Home and Garden, a reference to Jenin’s biblical name, and the term has been used by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as well. But the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit has insisted that the operation has no official name.The military appeared to be downplaying the scale of the campaign by not giving it a name. Hagari, the spokesman, has called it a “brigade-level raid.”For weeks, there was speculation about a major Israeli military operation in the West Bank, following a string of shooting attacks and intense resistance to IDF raids in Palestinian cities.The northern West Bank, and especially the city of Jenin and its environs, has long been considered by the IDF as a hotbed of terrorism, highlighted by a string of attacks in early 2022, many of which were carried out by residents of the area.According to the IDF, since last year, some 50 shooting attacks were carried out by residents of the area, and 19 wanted Palestinians escaped to Jenin to seek refuge there from Israeli forces.Tensions between Israelis and Palestinians have been high across the West Bank for the past year and a half, with the military carrying out near-nightly raids, amid a series of deadly Palestinian terror attacks.Since the beginning of this year, Palestinian attacks in Israel and the West Bank have killed 24 people.According to a tally by The Times of Israel, 144 West Bank Palestinians have been killed during that time — most of them during clashes with security forces or while carrying out attacks, but some were uninvolved civilians and others were killed under unclear circumstances.

Hamas praises Tel Aviv terror attack as ‘heroic’ response to IDF operation in Jenin-Palestinian terror group claims gunman as a member, but stops short of claiming responsibility; Australia, France condemn deliberate targeting of civilians-By ToI Staff-JUL 4,23-Today, 4:58 pm

The Hamas terror group on Tuesday praised as a “heroic” operation the car-ramming and stabbing attack in Tel Aviv that wounded seven people, four of them seriously.The Gaza-ruling terror group said the attack was “an initial response to [Israel’s] crimes against our people in the Jenin camp,” a reference to the ongoing major IDF operation in the northern West Bank town, which Israel says has become a hotbed of terror.The attacker was identified by the Shin Bet security agency as Abed al-Wahab Khalaila, 20, from the southern West Bank town of as-Samu, near Hebron. He had no known prior security-related offenses.The Hamas terror group said Khalaila was a member but stopped short of claiming responsibility for the attack.Khalaila was shot dead by an armed civilian after he crashed into pedestrians and then got out of the vehicle and stabbed several others.Foreign governments condemned the attack.France condemned it “in the strongest possible terms,” with the French Embassy adding: “All our thoughts are with the injured and their loved ones. Nothing can ever justify terrorism.”Australian Ambassador Ralph King said he was “shocked by news of the terror attack” and that “the deliberate targeting of civilians can never be justified.”Italy’s ambassador to Israel, Sergio Barbanti, also said he was “shocked” by the incident.“Italy stands firmly with Israel against terrorism,” Barbanti said.The European Union envoy to Israel, Dimiter Tzantchev, said, “Violence against civilians is never justified. The EU stands with Israel in its fight against terrorism.”A series of Palestinian terror attacks against Israelis has killed 24 people since the start of this year. Many of the attackers came from Jenin and its environs.On Monday, in another suspected terror attack, a Palestinian teenager stabbed and lightly hurt an Israeli man in the Tel Aviv suburb of Bnei Brak.

France’s Macron emerges weakened from unrest over teen’s shooting-Governing his already-polarized country has become close to impossible for French leader, who is heavily dependent on political allies-By Sylvie Corbet-JUL 4,23- Today, 12:33 pm

PARIS, France (AP) — Even in normal times Emmanuel Macron needed allies’ help governing France.To get some things done he worked with the traditional right. The center-left helped the French president accomplish others. The challenge was bigger than any faced by a French leader in more than two decades: He had to convince politicians across the country’s national assembly to support even a minor domestic project.Now, governing his already-polarized country has gotten close to impossible for Macron because a suburban police officer stopped a yellow Class A Mercedes and fired one fatal shot into the 17-year-old driver’s chest, setting off six days of tumult across the country.Macron’s centrist Renaissance party and its close allies had merely 251 seats out of 577 after Macron won his second five-year term last year with 58% of the votes in a runoff with far-right leader Marine Le Pen.Macron dreamed big despite the close victory. His first big goal was raising the retirement age from 62 to 64, which he had to force through parliament. He then hoped to re-industrialize France, improve working conditions and finalize a new immigration bill. Abroad, Macron championed European sovereignty and independence in fields ranging from the economy and energy to defense.But all that has had to fall by the wayside.A group of police officers walk during a protest in Nanterre, outside Paris, France, July 1, 2023. French President Emmanuel Macron urged parents to keep teenagers at home and proposed restrictions on social media to quell rioting spreading across France over the fatal police shooting of a 17-year-old driver. (AP Photo/Lewis Joly)Macron shortened a visit to a European summit in Brussels last week for a crisis meeting with his government. This week, he called a last-minute delay in a visit to Germany that had been meant to show the strength of the bilateral friendship despite disputes on energy, defense and the economy, among other issues.The changes in his agenda echo another uncomfortable situation for the French leader three months ago, when the planned state visit of King Charles III to France was postponed due to violent protests against the pension changes.German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said he was watching France’s situation with concern.“I hope very much, and I am convinced, that the French president will find ways for this situation to improve quickly,” he told ARD television. “I don’t expect France to become unstable, even if the pictures are of course very depressing.”The US, the UK and China were among those that called on citizens to exercise caution when traveling to France.Last month, after a climate summit, Kenya’s president William Ruto praised Macron’s deep involvement. “You have run this like Kenyans do… like a marathon,” he told Macron.The question now for Macron is whether he can marshal enough endurance to face the political situation at home.“The problem is that he still has four more years ahead,” said Luc Rouban, a senior researcher at the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS).He noted that Macron has faced a succession of protests and street unrest, starting with the yellow vest movement against social injustice that broke out in 2018.An increasing proportion of the population “rejects institutions” as part of a broader criticism of “a social order that involves inequalities, that is… basically quite hypocritical, with school in particular not allowing people to succeed as it once did,” Rouban said.Schools, city halls, police stations and other public institutions have been attacked.Macron “doesn’t have much leeway except for distributing subsidies,” which is also difficult because of France’s heavy debt burden, Rouban said.Last month, Macron hosted the global summit on climate and finance that brought over 50 heads of state and government and leaders of international organizations in the French capital, highlighting his international leadership.Macron then travelled to Marseille last week to promote government efforts to inject billions into schools, housing and security and improve lives of residents of low-income neighborhoods in France’s second largest city.Macron is to meet Tuesday at the presidential palace with the mayors of over 220 towns and cities that have been concerned by incidents and damages in recent days.Le Pen appears to the one coming out of the situation in a stronger position, Rouban said. She keeps positioning herself as the main political opposition to Macron, and continues her strategy of scrubbing the image of her far-right National Rally party, he said.“These appalling events bring our leaders back to reality,” Le Pen said last week in a video posted on a social media account. “I intend to stick to our line of conduct, which is to do nothing to prevent or challenge the action of the legitimate authorities in charge of public order.”On Paris’s Champs-Elysées Monday, workers were preparing Bastille Day festivities, setting up seating and barriers for crowds expected to attend the traditional military parade on July 14th with guest of honor Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India.Another major deadline is looming: next year’s Olympics in Paris, suburbs and other French cities. Organizers and authorities promise the Games will be safe.

Gunman opens fire at random on Philadelphia streets, killing 4-Police arrest suspect armed with rifle and clad in bulletproof vest; two boys aged 2 and 13 injured-By AP-JUL 4,23-Today, 8:31 am

PHILADELPHIA — A gunman wearing a bulletproof vest opened fire on the streets of Philadelphia on Monday night, killing four people and wounding two boys in the latest outbreak of gun violence in the United States, police said. The victims were apparently random, with no connection immediately known between them and the shooter.The shootings took place over several city blocks in the southwestern neighborhood of Kingsessing. Responding officers chased the suspect as he continued to fire, and he was arrested in an alley after surrendering, Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said at a news conference.“At this point all we know is that this person decided to leave their home and target individuals,” Outlaw said.He had a bulletproof vest, an “AR-type rifle,” multiple magazines, a handgun and a police scanner, she said.Officers were flagged down at about 8:30 p.m., and multiple calls of shots fired came in from Kingsessing. Police found some gunshot victims, and as they were attending to them, they heard more gunfire, Outlaw said.The suspected shooter was identified as a 40-year-old man. A second person was also taken into custody who may have returned fire at the suspect, but police did not know whether there was a connection between the two people, Outlaw said.The chief described the scene as covering an area of two by four blocks and said dozens of shell casings were found.“You can see there are several scenes out here,” Outlaw said. “We’re canvassing the area to get as much as we can, to identify witnesses, to identify where cameras are located and to do everything to figure out the why,” Outlaw said.Three of the dead ranged in age from 20 to 59, while the fourth, who had not yet been identified, was estimated to be between 16 and 21. All were male. The two hospitalized victims are boys, ages 2 and 13. They were in stable condition, Outlaw said.The shooting occurred a day after gunfire erupted at a holiday weekend block party in Baltimore, about 100 miles (160 kilometers) to the southwest, killing two people and wounding 28 others. The wounded in that shooting ranged in age from 13 to 32, with more than half of them minors, according to officials.The Philadelphia violence marks the country’s 29th mass killing in 2023, according to a database maintained by The Associated Press and USA Today in partnership with Northeastern University.So far this year, the nation has witnessed the highest number on record of mass killings and deaths to this point in a single year.There have been more than 550 mass killings since 2006, according to the database, in which at least 2,900 people have died and at least 2,000 people have been injured.

Futurist says drones with biometrics will be deployed against mass shootings-Jun 30, 2023, 1:21 pm EDT    | Masha Borak

Futurist and celebrity speaker Thomas Frey is hailing a new solution for the epidemic of mass shootings in the United States that sounds straight from an episode of Black Mirror: Artificial intelligence-enabled drones.The former IBM engineer said in a recent blog post that flying machines could be upgraded into advanced crisis management tools.Biometric capabilities such as ocular scanning or fingerprint identification could enhance the drones’ ability to identify individuals even in scenarios where facial recognition is insufficient. AI can be employed to analyze body language and facial expressions to make judgments about the likely intentions of individuals, writes Frey, who is the founder of the DaVinci Institute think tank.The drone would be equipped with other technologies, including sensors allowing real-time tracking of threats, loudspeakers and light signals for communication, and AI systems analyzing body language and facial expressions.The machine could also have an AI bot installed specializing in crisis negotiation with suspects. If negotiation doesn’t work, equipping drones with non-lethal weapons such as tasers, pepper spray, rubber bullets or net guns might do the trick.Finally, if one drone doesn’t work perhaps a swarm of drones will: Installing drone-to-drone communication systems could allow them to respond to complex situations in coordination.Frey’s futuristic predictions on drone surveillance may sound like a dystopian sci-fi thriller but they are also not so far from reality. In February, it became known that the U.S. Air Force awarded a contract to defense supplier RealNetworks two years ago to integrate a facial recognition system into its drones.Other governments are also working on flying killer robots. In 2020, the Turkish Armed Forces added Kargu kamikaze drones with biometric facial recognition made by defense supplier STM to its arsenal.Frey’s plan for drones that hunt down active shooters may, however, be upended by upcoming legislation. The state of Illinois, for instance, has passed a ban on the use of facial recognition on video feeds coming from drones. Exceptions are allowed in cases of terrorist attacks.

Injunction blocks Biden administration from working with social media firms about 'protected speech' Tue, July 4, 2023 at 5:06 p.m. EDT

A judge on Tuesday prohibited several federal agencies and officials of the Biden administration from working with social media companies about “protected speech,” a decision called “a blow to censorship” by one of the Republican officials whose lawsuit prompted the ruling.U.S. District Judge Terry Doughty of Louisiana granted the injunction in response to a 2022 lawsuit brought by attorneys general in Louisiana and Missouri. Their lawsuit alleged that the federal government overstepped in its efforts to convince social media companies to address postings that could result in vaccine hesitancy during the COVID-19 pandemic or affect elections.Doughty cited “substantial evidence” of a far-reaching censorship campaign. He wrote that the “evidence produced thus far depicts an almost dystopian scenario. During the COVID-19 pandemic, a period perhaps best characterized by widespread doubt and uncertainty, the United States Government seems to have assumed a role similar to an Orwellian ‘Ministry of Truth.’ ”Republican U.S. Sen. Eric Schmitt, who was the Missouri attorney general when the lawsuit was filed, said on Twitter that the ruling was “a huge win for the First Amendment and a blow to censorship.”Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry said the injunction prevents the administration “from censoring the core political speech of ordinary Americans” on social media.“The evidence in our case is shocking and offensive with senior federal officials deciding that they could dictate what Americans can and cannot say on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, and other platforms about COVID-19, elections, criticism of the government, and more," Landry said in a statement.The Justice Department is reviewing the injunction “and will evaluate its options in this case,” said a White House official who was not authorized to discuss the case publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.“This administration has promoted responsible actions to protect public health, safety, and security when confronted by challenges like a deadly pandemic and foreign attacks on our elections,” the official said. “Our consistent view remains that social media platforms have a critical responsibility to take account of the effects their platforms are having on the American people, but make independent choices about the information they present.”The ruling listed several government agencies, including the Department of Health and Human Services and the FBI, that are prohibited by the injunction from discussions with social media companies aimed at “encouraging, pressuring, or inducing in any manner the removal, deletion, suppression, or reduction of content containing protected free speech.”The order mentions by name several officials, including Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and others.Doughty allowed several exceptions, such as informing social media companies of postings involving criminal activity and conspiracies; as well as notifying social media firms of national security threats and other threats posted on platforms.The plaintiffs in the lawsuit also included individuals, including conservative website owner Jim Hoft. The lawsuit accused the administration of using the possibility of favorable or unfavorable regulatory action to coerce social media platforms to squelch what it considered misinformation on masks and vaccines during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also touched on other topics, including claims about election integrity and news stories about material on a laptop owned by Hunter Biden, the president’s son.Administration lawyers said the government left it up to social media companies to decide what constituted misinformation and how to combat it. In one brief, they likened the lawsuit to an attempt to put a legal gag order on the federal government and “suppress the speech of federal government officials under the guise of protecting the speech rights of others.”“Plaintiffs’ proposed injunction would significantly hinder the Federal Government’s ability to combat foreign malign influence campaigns, prosecute crimes, protect the national security, and provide accurate information to the public on matters of grave public concern such as health care and election integrity,” the administration says in a May 3 court filing.___Salter reported from O'Fallon, Missouri.

IDF has stressed operation is aimed at terrorists, not PA-PA freezes all ties with Israel over Jenin raid, as US urges closer cooperation-Abbas calls for Palestinians to immediately halt contacts with Israeli side to protest ‘aggression’; US backs Israel’s defense against terror, urges avoidance of civilian deaths-By Jacob Magid and Alexander Fulbright-JUL 4,23-Today, 12:14 am

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on Monday said security coordination with Israel would remain suspended and other ties would be cut as well, in protest of a large-scale raid on the Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank.The announcement came as the US State Department urged the PA and Israel to increase security cooperation and a UN envoy said he was in touch with Israeli and Palestinian leaders in a bid to restore calm.The counterterror mission appeared to be the largest operation in the West Bank in around two decades and was launched amid already elevated tensions following a series of deadly terror attacks carried out by Palestinians from the Jenin area.According to the Palestinian Authority’s health ministry, eight Palestinians have been killed and another 80 hurt since the Israeli campaign began overnight. Of those wounded, 17 were listed in critical or serious condition.The IDF has stressed the current operation is aimed at terror groups and not the PA.Calling an emergency session of the Palestinian leadership in Ramallah, Abbas said the PA would immediately halt all contact and meetings with the Israeli side.“In light of the Israeli lack of commitment to the Aqaba and Sharm el-Sheikh understandings — the leadership announces that these understandings are no longer binding,” said a statement from Abbas spokesman Nabil Abu Rudeineh, referring to meetings the sides held in Jordan and Egypt earlier this year.Palestinian leaders additionally agreed to step up activity against Israel in the United Nations and international bodies. They also planned to minimize contact with the United States, measures they have announced in the past in response to Israeli or US actions.“The leadership affirmed the right of the Palestinian people to defend themselves against the aggression and that the mission of the Palestinian Authority is to protect the Palestinian people, and to put all its capabilities for this purpose,” the statement said, stressing that the PA would do so while adhering to international law.Abbas has threatened to halt security coordination with Israel several times in the past and declared a total freeze in January after an IDF raid in Jenin led to clashes in which nine Palestinians were killed, most of them members of terror groups, but also at least one civilian. Israel said at the time the raid was a necessary anti-terror operation.But a week later, Abbas acknowledged to visiting CIA chief William Burns that parts of the security coordination apparatus remained in place and could potentially be fully restored.Previous Palestinian moves to suspend this coordination have been short-lived, in part because of the benefits the PA enjoys from the relationship by helping fend off challenges from the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror groups. It has also faced US and Israeli pressure to maintain it, with all three viewing the coordination as a key element helping to tamp down terror activity and promote stability in the West Bank.The PA has limited control over scattered enclaves in the West Bank and some areas such as Jenin have seen an erosion of its authority that analysts say has contributed to rising attacks on Israelis.Around the time of the PA announcement, a State Department spokesperson issued a statement saying, “Today’s events further underscore the urgent need for Israeli and Palestinian security forces to work together to improve the security situation in the West Bank.”The spokesperson urged Israel to avoid civilian deaths in Jenin.“It is imperative to take all possible precautions to prevent the loss of civilian lives,” the statement said.In the Biden administration’s first comment on the fighting in the northern West Bank, a National Security Council spokesperson expressed US support for “Israel’s security and right to defend its people against Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and other terrorist groups.”The spokesperson added that the administration is “monitoring the situation closely.”Tor Wennesland, the United Nations Mideast envoy, said he was in contact with both Israel and the Palestinians to de-escalate the situation in Jenin and “ensure humanitarian access and delivery of necessary medical and other supplies” into the Jenin area.Wennesland tweeted that the escalation was “very dangerous.”“All must ensure the civilian population is protected,” he said.Earlier, the UN’s humanitarian coordinator said she was “alarmed” by the scale of the operation and said that “airstrikes were used in the densely populated refugee camp.”Meanwhile, the United Arab Emirates said it “strongly condemns” Israel’s Jenin operation, calling for “the immediate halt of repeated and escalating campaigns against the Palestinian people.”The UAE Foreign Ministry also stressed the need to return to regional and international peace efforts and end practices that threaten a two-state solution.The UAE’s tone was noticeably less strident than that of Jordan and Egypt, who earlier released statements denouncing the Israeli operation. All three Arab nations have diplomatic relations with Israel.Turkey’s foreign ministry issued a statement “strongly condemning” the mission.“We are deeply concerned that the current tension in the region could trigger a new spiral of violence following these attacks, and we reiterate our call on the Israeli authorities to act with common sense and put an end to such actions,” it said.“We wish Allah’s mercy upon our Palestinian brothers who lost their lives in the incident, a speedy recovery to the injured and extend our condolences to the State of Palestine and its people.”Amid the international reactions, an official at Israel’s Foreign Ministry who asked not to be named told The Times of Israel that its diplomats around the world were pushing messages about the Jenin operation to highlight certain key points.For weeks, there had been speculation about a major Israeli military operation in the West Bank, following a string of shooting attacks and intense resistance to IDF raids in Palestinian cities.The northern West Bank, and especially the city of Jenin and its environs, has long been considered by the IDF as hotbeds of terrorism, highlighted by a string of attacks in early 2022 of which many were carried out by residents of the area.Tensions between Israelis and Palestinians have been high across the West Bank for the past year and a half, with the military carrying out near-nightly raids, amid a series of deadly Palestinian terror attacks.Since the beginning of this year, Palestinian attacks in Israel and the West Bank have killed 24 people.According to a tally by The Times of Israel, 143 West Bank Palestinians have been killed during that time, most of them during clashes with security forces or while carrying out attacks, but some were uninvolved civilians and others were killed under unclear circumstances.Lazar Berman, Times of Israel staff and agencies contributed to this report.

Report finds data protection loopholes in Tanzania’s biometric SIM registration drive-Ghana SIM card re-registration continues-Jul 4, 2023, 2:37 pm EDT-| Ayang Macdonald

Tanzania’s efforts in crime prevention, social protection and financial inclusion through digital identity are commendable but the government has to do more in the area of data protection especially as the country continues its push for mobile-based digital ID initiatives such as biometric SIM card registration.This observation is contained in a recently published report commissioned by the Digital Agenda for Tanzania Initiative (DA4TI).DA4TI is a Tanzanian civil society organization fronting the campaign for digital literacy, digital rights, digital inclusion, safety, peace, entrepreneurship and technopreneurship. Tanzanian digital and privacy rights lawyer Josephina Nshunju played a key role in authoring the report.According to the report, a weak digital identity legal framework has led to mobile network operators (MNOs) failing to respect commitments taken with regard to data privacy and protection.This, the report says, is as a result of the failure of the government to set up a data protection authority as provided for in the 2022 Personal Data Protection Act, failure by MNOs (six licensed ones) to provide clear and transparent privacy policies, a government policy which requires disclosure of data collected from a surveillance system under certain conditions, and inadequate laws on information security, among others.A government directive in 2018 called on all mobile telephone users in Tanzania to re-register their SIM cards with biometrics and the national ID card issued by the National Identification Authority (NIDA), the report recalls, with many registration deadlines set after that. Since then, there have been worries about infringements to the rights of more than half of the 61.9 million mobile subscribers in the country.While the report agrees that MNOs have been playing a great role in accompanying Tanzania’s digital economy and inclusion efforts, it urges them to adhere to their commitments of ensuring the right of subscribers to privacy and data protection. It calls on other stakeholders such as the government, civil society organisations, and researchers to play their role in upholding data privacy and security standards.Ghana biometric SIM card re-registration continues-In Ghana, the activity has also had its own issues, not less linked to data protection and security. But there seems to be progress given the number of SIM cards being linked, reports Pulse Ghana.Last month, Communications Minister Ursula Owusu-Ekuful said in a parliamentary briefing that more than 28 million SIM cards have been linked to the Ghana Card since the exercise started in October 2021.Meanwhile, Owusu-Ekuful also said during the briefing that all merchant SIM cards have to be linked to the Ghana Card. The deadline was June 30 in principle, per a report by Developing Telecoms. An estimated 280,000 merchant SIM cards are still unregistered in Ghana.

Thailand launches digital ID verification service with ThaID app-Jul 4, 2023, 12:19 pm EDT-| Ayang Macdonald

There have been recent reports highlighting progress or novelties in various digital ID projects and systems run or backed by governments around the world, from Thailand to Jordan through Macau and Poland, to Sri Lanka.ThaiID app to facilitate ID verification in Thailand-There’s a major change, going forward, on how digital identity verification can happen in Thailand. This follows the launch of the ‘ThaID’ mobile application which the government says is secure and easy-to-use, reports Pattaya Mail.Speaking at the launch of the application recently, sit-in Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-o-cha explained the importance of the service, saying it was designed to facilitate ID authentication for all online transactions requiring that.The ID verification is done via a facial recognition system, per the outlet, which also mentions that the service has already been embraced by 44 state agencies. The Department of Provincial Administration has however highlighted the need for more awareness campaigns in order to popularize the app in all districts of the country’s 76 provinces.The caretaker PM also noted that the move is part of government’s digital transformation push which seeks to make digital technologies a major driver of access to vital services and inclusion.The release of the app signifies a key step forward for Thailand’s digital identity pursuit since the launch of the ThaID project in 2019.There was an announcement in April of the Thai government having secured the services of SureCert to support tits digital ID development strategy which focuses on secure access to public sector services online-Sri Lanka plans biometric capture for digital ID cardsThe rollout of the Sri Lanka Unique Digital Identity Project (SL-UDI) is imminent with the government announcing that the collection of biometrics as part of the enrollment process for the issuance of national digital ID cards will begin soon, according to the State Minister for Technology.The official made the announcement during a meeting of the Ministerial Consultative Committee on technology during a recent parliamentary session in which they also discussed plans of enabling citizens access digital documents using the single ID system, reports Adaderana.The biometrics to be collected will include face, fingerprint and iris scans.It was observed during the meeting that issues related to the execution mechanism were putting brakes on the digital ID project whose procurement process was launched last year.-Poland to accept digital version of plastic cards-Government-issued digital IDs in Poland will be accepted as the equivalence for the plastic version from July 14 in a step that seeks to change the way ID proofing happens in the central European nation, per a LinkedIn post by Jaroslaw Sygitowicz, co-founder of ID proofing startup Authologic.The official claims the novelty will make Poland “the largest EU country with a government-issued digital ID equal to its plastic counterpart.”“It is a historic moment and signifies a major change in the way identity proofing is done.”Sygitowicz says it will be a self-sovereign identity digital ID system where users will have greater control of how and with who they share their data.Poland announced the rollout of digital IDs in 2017.Poland contracted HID Global last year to have more biometric security features on its national ID card in compliance with an EU resolution.Macau accepts digital ID for border crossings-Authorities in Macau expected citizens to begin using digital IDs for cross-border movements and to access certain public and private sector services from June 30.As reported by Macau News, citizens in the special administrative region of China are required to update their One Account app to be able to use the new functionality. Adult ID holders can verify their identity via facial recognition on the app for various purposes including account opening, while the ID of children will be linked to their parents’ apps.The digital ID will be used at Macau’s main border points.The Secretary for Administration Cheong Weng Chon explained that the move is the first step of plans to gradually introduce digital identity.Meanwhile, the Director of the Identification Services Bureau (DSI) Chao Wai Ieng is quoted by Macau Daily Times as explaining that the digital ID system should not be confused with the digital ID cards. They system consists of a QR code on the One Account page which also contains many security features.Jordan’s airport digital ID noveltyJordanian authorities have announced the setting up of ‘Sanad Stations’ at one of the country’s major airports for the activation of digital ID cards, writes Roya News.The Ministry of Digital Economy and Entrepreneurship said the stations, which have been opened at the Queen Alia International Airport, will work 24/7.Jordan recently signed a deal with IrisGuard to deploy its iris recognition technology for digital ID enrollment.

Airport face biometrics expansion in US, India accelerating-Dignari and Idemia among vendors positioned to benefit-Jul 3, 2023, 3:24 pm EDT-| Chris Burt

The U.S. Transportation Security Administration plans to expand facial recognition for passenger processing to 430 airports around the country within “several years,” a representative of the agency told Fast Company. The expansion is part of a trend towards the use of face biometrics instead of manual facial comparisons by government authorities, in a boon for vendors like Dignari and Idemia.A pilot at 25 airports which is currently underway has so far shown a 97 percent rate of accuracy across all demographics, through the TSA does not intend to release the final results when the two-year pilot is complete.There are actually two concurrent pilots, TSA Press Secretary Robert Langston told the publication, including one testing 1:N (one-to-many) facial recognition at a pair of airports. The program compares photos of travelers to images in a government database, and is limited to Trusted Traveler participants.“Biometric data is overwritten as soon as the next passenger steps up to the queue,” Langston says. “And then, when the technology is turned off at the end of the day, whatever storage system in there dumps completely. There is no saved image.”Previously, however, some passengers’ face biometrics were sent in encrypted form to DHS researchers to help evaluate the effectiveness of the algorithms.Jeramie Scott of the Electronic Privacy Information Center notes that 97 percent accuracy would leave 60,000 people per day to be processed in the usual way. He also said that no matter how accurate, the agency’s ability to change how the program works at any time means it should not implement facial recognition.The article also notes that the Algorithmic Justice League reports 60 out of 67 travelers responding to a request for feedback to the AJL on the program said they saw no signs informing them of the use of facial recognition. Only 2 of 67 said they were asked to consent to the process. Visitors to the AJL website are greeted with a pop-up warning them, “Travelers Beware,” and inviting them to submit a scorecard, suggesting that the sample is not likely representative of travelers as a whole.Dignari has contracts with the TSA to support the implementation of biometrics, including one signed earlier this year and valued at $23.5 million.The Idemia family of businesses also holds major contracts to deploy biometrics at U.S. airports, with Idemia I&S the supplier of the TSA’s CAT2 machines.The trend is hardly confined to the U.S., however, and Idemia also won a contract with Indian airport operator GMR Group to implement face biometrics under the Digi Yatra program.Users of Digi Yatra biometric ID checks reach 1.74 million-Meanwhile in India, the number of people who have used the Digi Yatra mobile application for ID verification with biometrics across some of the country’s airport reached 1.74 million as of June 20, according to a news release from the Ministry of Aviation.Digi Yatra is an airport boarding system which uses face biometrics for passenger verification. It was launched in December last year with three airports, but the facility is now available in seven.With files from Ayang Macdonald.

Identifying billions: white paper touts economic heft of digital ID-Jun 30, 2023, 5:44 pm EDT-| Joel R. McConvey

The convenience and practical security benefits of digital credentials are often listed among their top benefits. But a new white paper from ATB Ventures emphasizes the vast economic potential in a Canadian marketplace that is ready for the widespread use of digital ID.The white paper, Trust & the Evolution of Digital Identity in Canada, says that eight in ten Canadians now support digital IDs. More specifically, 66 percent believe in the importance of a secure and trusted digital ID to use for online transactions. And four in ten are already using digital wallets on their smartphones.In this enthusiastic climate, says the paper, the Digital ID and Authentication Council of Canada (DIACC) estimates the potential economic value of trusted digital identity to be at least one percent of Canada’s GDP, equivalent to C$15 billion (US$11.3 billion).“The time is right for both public and private sectors to adopt digital credentials and decentralize digital identity technology,” the paper says. “This will allow organizations to mitigate risks, safeguard their customers’ privacy, and foster trust in an increasingly interconnected world. From travel documentation, to financial account creation, to government service management: opportunities for evolution are unlimited.”Safety first, $15 billion second-While the paper is understandably keen to highlight the “$15 billion opportunity currently facing citizens, businesses, and governments,” it does not ignore pressing concerns around digital ID and biometric security. Centralized systems, it argues, come with risks that are only increasing. Its authors cite the historic spike in fraud cases recorded in 2022.“Traditional cloud storage solutions, while convenient and scalable, can pose a risk of data breaches due to the centralized nature,” the paper says. “In contrast, decentralized data storage solutions offer enhanced security by distributing information across multiple storage networks, making it more difficult for cybercriminals to access and compromise sensitive data.”Just as new threats can drive timelines on development, so can global competition. Although the paper points out that Canada ranked 7th in the latest World Economic Forum report on digital competitiveness, it chides Canadian privacy policy for allowing 72 percent of Canadian companies to grant third-party access to data they collect from customers. Speed to market may also become a factor in policy change, with three quarters of Canadians saying they believe it is important for governments to move quickly on implementing digital IDs.DIACC ushers in new board to guide digital ID-The DIACC has a new team dedicated to the mushrooming issues around digital trust, identity, data control and privacy protection. A release says the refreshed board is comprised of “renowned leaders and visionaries from various sectors.”New appointees include Mike Cook, CEO of Identos, and John Roberts, associate deputy minister, chief digital and data officer, chief privacy officer and archivist of Ontario.

Balkans see rise in cyberattacks as more systems use biometrics and digital ID: Report-Jul 3, 2023, 12:01 pm EDT-| Masha Borak

The Balkans is experiencing a surge in cyberattacks against public and private organizations just as the region is embracing biometrics and digital identity raising questions about the protection of biometric data, new research from the Balkan Investigative Journalism Network (BIRN) has shown.The organization mapped 40 incidents that resulted in significant data breaches and compromised large amounts of data between 2020 and 2023, covering countries such as Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia, Kosovo and Serbia. The attacks include ransomware, phishing, data hacking and other cyber attacks against the public sector, banks and individuals.The cyber intrusions have raised concern about data privacy, including biometric data. The region has been increasingly relying on biometrics and digital identity in online banking, e-government services and border control. Among the 40 listed cases, however, none seem to be connected to biometric data, although in many incidents it is not clear which data was breached or compromised. The data potentially compromised does include unique identification numbers.Among the problems in fighting the onslaught of cybercrime has been poor public awareness, inadequate cybersecurity policies and limited regional collaboration, the report concludes.

Biometrics industry maturation shown in deals and IP-Jul 1, 2023, 9:55 am EDT-| Chris Burt

The scale of biometrics product integrations, apps, database searches and an acquisition this week demonstrate the industry’s advancing maturity, and its full cycle. Along with the regular drumbeat of progress and conflicts with national digital ID programs, they made up the most-read stories of the week on Biometric Update. Sentry Enterprise’s fingerprint recognition in products from door-lock giant Allegion and FaceTec’s implementation in a CBP app will be used by numerous people, while Clearview AI has filed for a patent on a way to search through a database with many pictures of all of them, and Socure has paid $70 million to take over Berbix.Top biometrics news of the week.A set of case studies on litigation over digital ID, and the implications for digital public infrastructure were examined in a recent webinar by a panel at the Center for Human Rights & Global Justice. Panelists explained legal battles against national ID schemes or aspects of them in Uganda, Mexico, Serbia and Kenya. One of the key themes that emerged from the discussion is the difficulty making sense of consent for participation in systems that are essential to living a normal life.Australia’s government has published a new national ID strategy document setting out plans to increase the use of biometrics to secure online interactions between people and government services. The plan is the first digital identity strategy update for the country in over a decade, and emphasizes the need to establish robust data protection to stem public sector fraud losses.Stopping theft from public coffers is one of the stated motivations behind the UIDAI’s partnership with IIT-Bombay to develop fingerprint liveness detection. An attempt by Indian media to discover the details of that liveness partnership have been rebuffed, however. A fraud ring exploiting biometric POS devices has been busted in Andhra Pradesh, meanwhile.Residential and commercial lock-making conglomerate Allegion has integrated biometric access cards from Sentry Enterprises with its portfolio to offer security upgrades in the form of two-factor biometric authentication. The combined solution can be layered onto existing locks from Schlage and other brands for fingerprint biometric authentication at the edge as a password replacement.People travelling to the U.S. from forty different countries can use CBP’s ESTA app, which features 3D face biometrics and liveness detection from FaceTec, for advance travel authorization.

South Korean bank rolls out ATM withdrawals with Alchera facial recognition-Jun 30, 2023, 1:41 pm EDT    | Masha Borak

South Korean startup Alchera will help the country’s longest-operating bank introduce access to banking services through facial recognition at a total of 900 ATMs.Shinhan Bank customers will be able to withdraw funds even without identifying themselves with a bank card or passbook thanks to the country’s first biometric facial recognition payment service Shinhan Face Pay. The service is expected to be launched in September.Aside from equipping Shinhan Bank’s ATMs, Alchera will help customers registering through the bank’s smartphone app withdraw foreign currency by using their faces in Shinhan Bank branches and some ATMs at Incheon Airport and Samseong subway station in Seoul starting in July.The artificial intelligence and image recognition company based in Seoul, South Korea first rolled out the Shinhan Face Pay pilot in 2020. A case study reveals that the 3D facial feature mapping solution was built on Alchera’s deep learning facial recognition technology AIIR, which uses a lightweight software development kit (SDK) and can be deployed in an app or kiosk using any operating system.Aside from expanding the bank’s biometrics-based authentication service, Face Pay has been piloted as a frictionless payment solution in Hanyang University’s Seoul campus. Alchera has been working with other financial companies including South Korea’s Toss Bank and Busan Bank (BNK) which signed a deal for the company’s remote ID verification system in May, according to a Google translation of its press release.Government agencies have also been using its technology as part of an access control solution. Alchera’s facial recognition system is part of a larger government project to digitally transform government buildings in Korea overseen by the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, the company said in a statement at the beginning of June.

Over 70 million PhilIDs issued as PSA, Philippines Post re-commit to delivery-Senate calls for investigation into delayed IDs-Jun 30, 2023, 11:40 am EDT-| Alessandro Mascellino

It has been an eventful month for the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), which announced a new milestone in implementing the Philippine Identification System (PhilSys).On Tuesday, the PSA confirmed that as of 16 June 2023, the total number of delivered PhilIDs was 33,422,502, while the number of issued ePhilIDs — printed and downloadable — was 36,848,828.“The PSA shall continue its efforts in expediting the issuance of the PhilID and ePhilID,” commented PSA undersecretary Claire Dennis S. Mapa.“We encourage our kababayans [fellow Filipinos] who have received their PhilID and ePhilID to maximize its use in their transactions.”Meanwhile, a government body called the Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA) has sent a circular to all public sector offices and organizations at various levels in the Philippines to urge them to accept the various forms of PhilID, reports Malaysia Business Insight. The guidance was sent in response to reports that some entities have refused to accept the printed or digital form of the ID.People or entities refusing to accept PhilID could be fined 500,000 Philippine pesos (approximately US$9,050), and officials could be barred from holding public office.PSA and PHLPost renew PhilID efforts-The PSA has also recently renewed its partnership with PHLPost to expedite the delivery of PhilIDs to registered Filipinos under PhilSys.The move comes after the appointment of a new postmaster general and chief executive officer, Luis D. Carlos, last month.In a meeting between Mapa and Carlos, the parties discussed the need for close collaboration and combined efforts, particularly in geographically isolated and disadvantaged areas.PHLPost emphasized that PhilID delivery is a top priority and will work closely with PSA Field Offices to address challenges such as unclaimed PhilIDs and applicants who change locations.Pimentel calls for investigation into delayed IDs-In other Philippine news, senate minority leader Aquilino Pimentel III has called for an investigation into the prolonged delay in issuing the national IDs.According to the Inquirer, Pimentel raised concerns about the quality and durability of national identification cards, citing cases where they become unreadable within three months.The senator also highlighted findings from the Commission on Audit, revealing that the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) had only delivered 27,356,750 pre-personalized cards by the end of 2021, which falls short of the required 36 million IDs for that year.The BSP is expected to deliver 116 million pre-personalized IDs from 2021 to 2023, according to the senator’s resolution.More generally, the investigation aims to uncover any potential wrongdoing within the PSA and ensure the smooth implementation of the PhilIDs.The probe comes days after the Commission on Elections of the Philippines (Comelec) expressed intentions to add iris and more fingerprints to the current biometric system.

Okta adds Worldcoin authentication to Auth0 marketplace-Jun 29, 2023, 4:15 pm EDT-| Jim Nash

Worldcoin’s digital ID authentication button has been added to ID and access-management software firm Okta‘s Auth0 marketplace.A “Sign in with Worldcoin” button is active in the marketplace, according to Worldcoin executives. They are pushing the fact that getting their social login integration protocol in Auth0 as a “global first,” but have not said a first in what.The executives say that millions people had already verified their Worldcoin’s World ID, which they can now use with “tens of thousands” of apps and services that depend on Auth0 for authentication.World ID is designed to protect users’ privacy in a streamlined manner. Anyone verified through the protocol can tick the Worldcoin box on an app or service on Auth0. A QR code will appear that is scanned with a World ID-compatible wallet to be authenticated.The integration gives app and online service developers a way to verify the identities of their users and protect against bots, according to the announcement. Users get a way to perform Auth0 authentication that avoids sharing personal information unnecessarily.Worldcoin developer Tools for Humanity announced late last month that it has raised $115 million from investors led by Blockchain Capital.The announcement does not hurt Okta’s goal to attain 50 billion users of its ID and access management products.The company says that its customer total went from 4,350 in 2021 to 6,100 in 2022. And, without offering numbers, the company says authentication volume on Okta “nearly doubled.”

EU countries have right to record biometrics on ID cards, says top court adviser-Jul 3, 2023, 5:03 pm EDT    | Masha Borak

The European Union’s top court is soon set to decide on whether including fingerprint data on identity cards is against EU regulation. A new non-binding legal opinion by the court’s adviser issued last week confirms that European member states can ask for this type of data for issuing ID cards.The case dates to 2021 when a German citizen from the city of Wiesbaden applied for a new ID card but refused to hand over fingerprint biometrics. The city authorities, however, declined to issue new identification as EU member states have been required by law to include fingerprint data on ID cards since 2021.The case has since climbed all the way to the European Court of Justice which is set to decide whether the obligation to take fingerprint biometrics and store them in ID cards is in accordance with other EU laws, including the bloc’s Charter of Fundamental Rights and its data privacy law, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The case was brought by campaign group Digitalcourage.The European Court of Justice Advocate General Laila Medina said in her opinion that the mandatory collection of fingerprint data in German ID cards is valid. The law mandating fingerprint collection for ID cards was created to allow the free movement of EU citizens within member states with ID cards now used instead of passports across the continent, she writes in the decision. Medina also cross-checked the law with GDPR rules.While the advocate general’s opinion is not binding for the court, their conclusions are often taken into consideration by the court.The campaign group has argued that the obligation to store fingerprints is not compatible with the fundamental right to respect private and family life and personal data. The ID cards store “full images” of the fingerprints on their chips, which Digitalcourage argues contradicts the GDPR’s principle of data minimization.

Nigeria issues 5M more digital IDs in six months, plans special cards for the elderly-Jul 3, 2023, 3:05 pm EDT-| Ayang Macdonald

Nigeria’s National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) has revealed that it enrolled 5,935,362 people for the National Identification Number (NIN) from January to June, with the overall number of digital IDs issued now slightly above 101 million. This development comes at a time when the country’s federal government is planning to design a special ID card for the elderly to ease their access to government and private sector services.NIMC director urges more NIN enrollments-As the digital ID issuance figures grow, NIMC Director General Aziz Aliyu has urged more Nigerians to show up for the NIN enrollment, saying the digital ID will enable easy access to services, especially financial inclusion.Speaking through a representative at a summit in Lagos recently, Aliyu said identity, connectivity and financial inclusion, are crucial in advancing the country’s digital economy ambitions, according to Guardian.Per NIMC data, of the 101,013,279 NINs which have been issued, 56.76 percent of them are held by men while women hold the remaining 43.57 percent. The statistics also show the State of Lagos has the highest number of NIN holders with over 11 million, while Kano follows with 8.9 million and Kaduna with 6.2 million. Bayelsa State has the least number of NINs issued with 635,277.Nigeria needs to reach 148 million people with the NIN by next year as part of a World Bank condition within the framework of the Nigeria Digital ID for Development (Nigeria ID4D) initiative.The NIMC said recently that is intensifying its efforts to boost NIN enrollment to meet this target.-Idea of special IDs for senior citizens hatchedAs efforts to popularize the NIN continue, the federal government is also mulling parallel government-supported ID undertakings.Recently, a consultation meeting which took place in Abuja focused on how government, deposit banks and other financial institutions can collaborate on the introduction of a special cards for senior citizens, reports Punch.The stakeholders discussed the project, challenges, possibilities and perspectives.The director general of the National Senior Citizens Centre, Emem Omokaro, underscored the importance of such a card, saying it will be “a multi-purpose card that would serve as a vehicle for financial inclusion, conducive economic and social enterprise empowerment instrument and access to age-friendly physical environment outcomes for Nigeria’s senior citizens.”It will be designed to serve the triple function of a national identity card, bank card, and senior citizens’ card.

Worldcoin launches digital ID, proof of personhood in Germany-Jun 30, 2023, 4:08 pm EDT-| Joel R. McConvey

Worldcoin’s plans for a global, accessible biometric identity network have taken another step toward the company’s particular utopia, with the launch of sign-ups for its World ID credential and crypto wallet in Germany.“As the largest economy in the EU helps lead the way in developing AI tools in Europe,” says a company blog post, “World ID will make it easier for Germany’s 60+ million adult citizens to digitally prove their uniqueness and humanness online through its AI-safe proof of personhood (PoP) credential.”Worldcoin’s tool for measuring humanness is called the Orb, a custom-built, spheroid biometric imaging device that captures multiple iris scans to create a unique “iris code” for each individual. (The company has lengthy but thorough breakdowns of its full technology stack on its site.) The Orb will be stationed at verification locations around Berlin, which Worldcoin urges users to find by following them on social media, or downloading an app developed by its parent company, Tools for Humanity.Tools for Humanity recently secured significant investment from several crypto firms, and hired Twitter’s former VP of global communications, Rebecca Hahn. They join Worldcoin Co-founder and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman (who also created ChatGPT) in the mission to create an anonymized digital identity for every person on Earth, using iris scans conducted via the Orb. The $115 million in Series C funding comes after a March 2022 injection of $100 million, from investors that included FTX crypto exchange founder, Sam Bankman-Fried.The company says its World ID product has already collected 1.93 million biometric credentials.

Next announces new fingerprint sensor contract, partnership, volume order increase-Jul 3, 2023, 12:02 pm EDT-| Chris Burt

A large fingerprint biometrics supply contract for Next Biometrics has grown into a five-year commercial agreement with an Indian OEM partner. The deal is now worth 65 million Norwegian kroner (approximately US$6.1 million), up from a previously-reported NOK 15 million, according to a company announcement.Next said when the deal was originally unveiled that it would be worth between $1.4 million and $2.8 million (NOK 15 million to 30 million). The company now says that indicates that the minimum volume of biometric sensors is likely to be reached well before the end of the contract.The Aadhaar L1 market is maturing, motivating the increased purchase order, according to Next. The OEM plans to upgrade the fingerprint sensors currently used by its large existing customer base to Next’s FAP20 sensors. The OEM partner will certify its products, and then commercially launch its devices.Next has also announced a design win and initial purchase order from Chinese distribution partner XM Holder worth NOK 1 million ($93,000), to be completed in Q4, 2023.XM Holder’s unnamed customer plans to use Next’s FAP20 biometric sensors in a point of sales terminal for taxis in Sub-Saharan Africa to implement so they can accept cashless payments.As a recurring sensor order, the deal could be worth NOK 4.5 million ($420,000) in the future.Finally, a new partnership has been formed between Next and GSA contract-holder EOD Gear to supply Next’s Active Thermal biometric products. EOD Gear supplies tactical gear, according to the announcement, and plans to supply the Oyster III and FAP20 sensors to government clients.“Our partnership with Next Biometrics allows us to expand our offerings and provide the government with an innovative and effective security solution,” says Steve Cassidy, CEO of EOD Gear. “We are excited to work with Next Biometrics to bring their cutting-edge technology to government agencies, and we look forward to a long and successful partnership.”

NATO again extends Secretary-General Stoltenberg’s mandate, seeking safe familiarity-Military alliance failed to reach consensus on replacement for Norwegian leader as it remains wary of ongoing war in Ukraine-By LORNE COOK-JUL 4,23-Today, 2:57 pm

BRUSSELS (AP) — NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg will stay in office for another year, the 31-nation military alliance decided on Tuesday.Stoltenberg said in a tweet that he is “honored by NATO Allies’ decision to extend my term as Secretary General until 1 October 2024.”“The transatlantic bond between Europe and North America has ensured our freedom and security for nearly 75 years, and in a more dangerous world, our Alliance is more important than ever,” he said.Stoltenberg, a former Norwegian prime minister, has been NATO’s top civilian official since 2014. His term had been due to expire last year but was extended then to keep a steady hand at the helm after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.US President Joe Biden and his NATO counterparts had been due to name a successor when they meet in Vilnius, Lithuania, on July 11-12. But the world’s biggest security organization makes decisions by consensus, and no agreement could be found on a new candidate.Stoltenberg’s fellow countryman, Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre, welcomed the news, saying that it was “good, important and reassuring.”“It is also important that this was now clarified before the summit in Vilnius next week,” Gahr Støre was quoted as saying by the Norwegian news agency NTB. He said that NATO’s unity “is particularly crucial in a troubled time of war in Europe.”Most NATO countries had been keen to name a woman to the top post, and Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen was thought to be a favorite after a meeting with Biden last month.The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, ruled out her candidacy. Other possible names floated, but never publicly named as in the running, were Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte and UK Defense Secretary Ben Wallace.It’s the fourth time Stoltenberg has had his mandate extended. He’s the second-longest serving NATO secretary-general after former Dutch foreign minister Joseph Luns, who spent almost 13 years at the helm from 1971.Quizzed repeatedly in recent weeks over whether he would agree to have his term renewed, Stoltenberg said that he was not seeking to stay and had no plans other than to continue to carry out his duties and wrap his time at the helm in September.NATO secretaries-general are responsible for chairing meetings and guiding sometimes delicate consultations between the member countries to ensure that compromises are found so that an organization that operates on consensus can continue to function.They also ensure that decisions are put into action and speak on behalf of all nations with one voice.Stoltenberg has managed to tread a very fine line, refraining from criticizing members led by more go-it-alone presidents and prime ministers, like former US president Donald Trump, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.With NATO’s historical adversary, Russia, locked in a war with Ukraine, the process of naming a new secretary-general has become highly politicized.Poland opposes the next secretary-general coming from a Nordic state after Stoltenberg’s long tenure, and that of his predecessor, Anders Fogh Rasmussen from Denmark. Polish officials wanted someone from a Baltic state. Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas was a preferred candidate.But other countries are wary of accepting a nominee from the Baltics or Poland, given what appears to be their unconditional support for Ukraine, including on NATO membership, which the US and Germany, among others, insist should not happen before the war ends.In naming Fogh Rasmussen, a former Danish premier, their 12th secretary general in 2009, NATO’s leaders signaled that they wanted a government leader or president at the head of their organization. This has made the path almost impossible for Wallace.

EZEKIEL 38:1-23
1 And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
2  Son of man, set thy face against Gog, the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3  And say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
4  And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords:
5  Persia,(IRAN,IRAQ) Ethiopia, and Libya with them; all of them with shield and helmet:
6  Gomer,(GERMANY) and all his bands; the house of Togarmah (TURKEY) of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many people with thee.(AFRICAN MUSLIMS,SUDAN,TUNESIA ETC)
7  Be thou prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou, and all thy company that are assembled unto thee, and be thou a guard unto them.
8  After many days thou shalt be visited: in the latter years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel, which have been always waste: but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them.
9  Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.
10  Thus saith the Lord GOD; It shall also come to pass, that at the same time shall things come into thy mind, and thou shalt think an evil thought:
11  And thou shalt say, I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell safely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12  To take a spoil, and to take a prey; to turn thine hand upon the desolate places that are now inhabited, and upon the people that are gathered out of the nations, which have gotten cattle and goods, that dwell in the midst of the land.
13  Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, with all the young lions thereof, shall say unto thee, Art thou come to take a spoil? hast thou gathered thy company to take a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, to take a great spoil?(OIL IS IN SPOIL-I BELIEVE THATS WHY RUSSIA,ARAB/MUSLIMS MARCH TO ISRAEL)
14  Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say unto Gog, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In that day when my people of Israel dwelleth safely, shalt thou not know it?
15  And thou shalt come from thy place out of the north parts, thou, and many people with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty army:
16  And thou shalt come up against my people of Israel, as a cloud to cover the land; it shall be in the latter days, and I will bring thee against my land, that the heathen may know me, when I shall be sanctified in thee, O Gog, before their eyes.
17  Thus saith the Lord GOD; Art thou he of whom I have spoken in old time by my servants the prophets of Israel, which prophesied in those days many years that I would bring thee against them?
18  And it shall come to pass at the same time when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord GOD, that my fury shall come up in my face.
19  For in my jealousy and in the fire (atomic bomb) of my wrath have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel;
20  So that the fishes of the sea, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the field, and all creeping things that creep upon the earth, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence, and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21  And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord GOD: every man’s sword shall be against his brother.
22  And I will plead against him with pestilence (biological,chemical,nuclear) and with blood; and I will rain upon him, and upon his bands, and upon the many people that are with him, an overflowing rain, and great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.(NUKED,THEN MIGRATING BIRDS EAT RUSSIA/ARAB/MUSLIMS FLESH)
23  Thus will I magnify myself, and sanctify myself; and I will be known in the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am the LORD.

EZEKIEL 39:1-29
1 Therefore, thou son of man, prophesy against Gog, and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal:
2  And I will turn thee back, and leave but the sixth part of thee,(300 MILIION RUSSIA-ARAB-MUSLIMS GET NUKED BY ISRAEL) and will cause thee to come up from the north parts, and will bring thee upon the mountains of Israel:
3  And I will smite thy bow out of thy left hand, and will cause thine arrows to fall out of thy right hand.
4  Thou shalt fall upon the mountains of Israel, thou,(RUSSIA) and all thy bands,(RUSSIA SUPPORTED WITH WEAPONS-ARAB/MUSLIM COUNTRIES) and the people that is with thee: I will give thee unto the ravenous birds of every sort, and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.
5  Thou shalt fall upon the open field: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
6  And I will send a fire (ATOMIC BOMB) on Magog, and among them that dwell carelessly in the isles: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
7  So will I make my holy name known in the midst of my people Israel; and I will not let them pollute my holy name any more: and the heathen shall know that I am the LORD, the Holy One in Israel.
8  Behold, it is come, and it is done, saith the Lord GOD; this is the day whereof I have spoken.
9  And they that dwell in the cities of Israel shall go forth, and shall set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the bows and the arrows, and the handstaves, and the spears, and they shall burn them with fire seven years:
10  So that they shall take no wood out of the field, neither cut down any out of the forests; for they shall burn the weapons with fire: and they shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those that robbed them, saith the Lord GOD.
11  And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.
12  And seven months shall the house of Israel be burying of them, that they may cleanse the land.
13  Yea, all the people of the land shall bury them; and it shall be to them a renown the day that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord GOD.
14  And they shall sever out men of continual employment, passing through the land to bury with the passengers those that remain upon the face of the earth, to cleanse it: after the end of seven months shall they search.
15  And the passengers that pass through the land, when any seeth a man’s bone, then shall he set up a sign by it, till the buriers have buried it in the valley of Hamongog.
16  And also the name of the city shall be Hamonah. Thus shall they cleanse the land.
17  And, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD; Speak unto every feathered fowl, and to every beast of the field, Assemble yourselves, and come; gather yourselves on every side to my sacrifice that I do sacrifice for you, even a great sacrifice upon the mountains of Israel, that ye may eat flesh, and drink blood.
18  Ye shall eat the flesh of the mighty, and drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of lambs, and of goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings of Bashan.
19  And ye shall eat fat till ye be full, and drink blood till ye be drunken, of my sacrifice which I have sacrificed for you.
20  Thus ye shall be filled at my table with horses and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of war, saith the Lord GOD.
21  And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them.
22  So the house of Israel shall know that I am the LORD their God from that day and forward.
23  And the heathen shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity: because they trespassed against me, therefore hid I my face from them, and gave them into the hand of their enemies: so fell they all by the sword.
24  According to their uncleanness and according to their transgressions have I done unto them, and hid my face from them.
25  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Now will I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy upon the whole house of Israel, and will be jealous for my holy name;
26  After that they have borne their shame, and all their trespasses whereby they have trespassed against me, when they dwelt safely in their land, and none made them afraid.
27  When I have brought them again from the people, and gathered them out of their enemies’ lands, and am sanctified in them in the sight of many nations;
28  Then shall they know that I am the LORD their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there.
29  Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord GOD.

Turkey says Quran-burning incident undermines Sweden’s reliability as NATO candidate-Ankara’s foreign minister lambasts Stockholm for not preventing provocative act, says it can still join alliance if it ‘completes its homework’-By Suzan Fraser-JUL 4,23-Today, 8:18 pm

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Turkey’s foreign minister Hakan Fidan said Tuesday that Swedish authorities’ failure to prevent Quran-burning protests in the country is raising security concerns and questions about Sweden’s credentials for possible NATO membership.But Fidan pointed out that Turkey would still approve Sweden’s membership in the military alliance if Stockholm “completes its homework” and presses ahead with efforts to address Turkey’s concerns.“The fact that the Swedish security system is incapable of preventing provocations and is presenting an image of a [country] that brings problems to NATO — instead of more power — is making us think in terms of the strategic and security aspects,” Fidan said at a joint news conference with his Jordanian counterpart.“When it comes to Sweden’s membership in NATO, whether it will become a burden or a benefit has become more open to debate,” he said.Sweden and Finland abandoned their decades-long neutrality and applied to join NATO last year following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.Turkey has been holding off ratifying Sweden’s membership in the alliance, accusing the country of being too soft toward groups that Ankara regards as threats to its security, including Kurdish militants and members of a network that Ankara blames for a failed coup in 2016.Ankara has also been angered by a series of demonstrations in Sweden by supporters of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers’ Party, or PKK, as well as Quran-burning protests, including one that took place last week that was condemned by Muslim countries.The PKK has waged a 38-year insurgency against Turkey that has left tens of thousands dead. It is designated a terrorist organization by the US and the European Union.NATO wants to bring Sweden into the fold by the time the alliance’s leaders meet in Lithuania on July 11 to 12, and NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg has called a meeting of senior officials from Turkey, Sweden and Finland for July 6 to try to overcome Turkish objections to Sweden’s membership.NATO requires the unanimous approval of all existing members to expand. Turkey and Hungary are the only countries that have not yet ratified Sweden’s bid.Sweden has changed its anti-terror legislation after applying for membership. Fidan, Turkey’s former intelligence chief who was appointed foreign minister last month, maintained that terror groups were able to continue to stage demonstrations, raise money and recruit members in Sweden.”If Sweden continues with its efforts and does its homework, there are always alternatives, just as there was in the case of Finland,” Fidan said. He was referring to a memorandum that Sweden and Finland signed with Turkey last year under which they agreed to address Ankara’s concerns.Finland was able to join the alliance earlier this year, after Turkey expressed satisfaction with its efforts to meet demands and the Turkish parliament ratified its membership.Meanwhile, Pope Francis lamented last week’s Quran-burning protest outside a mosque in central Stockholm in an interview with the United Arab Emirates’ Al-Ittihad newspaper. Swedish police allowed the event to take place, citing freedom of speech, after a court overturned a ban on a similar Quran burning.“Any book considered sacred by its authors must be respected out of respect for its believers, and freedom of expression must never be used as an excuse to despise others, and to allow this, must be rejected and condemned,” the pope was quoted as saying.In Sweden, a top bishop called the incident “an attack” on all believers.”Freedom of speech is about standing up for things, but it’s not about being allowed to do it at any price,” Ake Bonnier, a bishop who is acting as a spokesperson for Sweden’s Lutheran Archbishop Martin Modeus, told Swedish broadcaster SVT on Monday.The Jordanian foreign minister also called for mutual respect of religious values and for the prevention of such protests.A spokesperson for the United Nations Human Rights Council said Tuesday that following a request by Pakistan, the council will discuss “the alarming rise” in acts of religious hatred such as the desecration of the Quran.

IDF says all Palestinian killed were involved in fighting-Netanyahu says IDF ‘completing mission’ in Jenin; Palestinian death toll rises to 11-Premier says operation in West Bank city isn’t a one-off; army spokesperson says it will make future raids easier; renewed clashes reported-By Emanuel Fabian Today, 8:57 pm-JUL 4,23

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu hinted Tuesday that Israel’s major military operation in the West Bank city of Jenin was coming to a close, while vowing that it would not be the last raid.“At this moment we are completing the mission, and I can say our widescale action in Jenin is not a one-time thing,” Netanyahu said during a visit to the Salem checkpoint, some 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) from Jenin.“We will continue [to operate] as necessary to root out terrorism. We will not allow Jenin to go back to being a hotbed of terror,” he added. Israel launched the major operation early Monday to crack down on what it says is a hotbed of terror in the city. A number of attacks on Israelis in recent years have been carried out by Palestinians from the area, and observers say the Palestinian Authority has little control on the ground.The Israel Defense Forces’ operation has focused on a local wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror group known as the Jenin Battalion, as well as other smaller armed groups in the city and refugee camp.The operation continued on Tuesday following a mostly uneventful night that saw Palestinian gunmen choosing not to fight Israeli forces, signaling the approaching end to the campaign.The Palestinian Authority health ministry said a man, named by Palestinian media as Abdel Rahman Saabneh, was fatally shot in the head during clashes with Israeli troops in Jenin on Tuesday afternoon. Another three were wounded in renewed clashes during the evening hours, the ministry said.The death brought the toll of the IDF’s operation in Jenin to 11. Palestinian health officials said at least 100 others were wounded, including 20 listed in serious condition, during Israeli airstrikes and in clashes with Israeli forces the previous day.All of the slain Palestinians were involved in the fighting, but there were some noncombatants among the wounded, according to the IDF.Over 1,000 IDF troops were involved in the campaign, which appeared to be the largest in the West Bank in some 20 years.Speaking alongside Netanyahu, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant said Jenin “in the past two years had become a factory for terror. In the past two days, this ended.”“We cut off the weapons manufacturing process, captured thousands of bombs, destroyed dozens of production sites, workshops and explosives labs,” he said.Gallant said the military will ensure it can operate freely against terror in the city. “We will reach a situation where we can move everywhere… with a squad and not an entire brigade.”The IDF gave some reporters a tour of Jenin on Monday, as D9 bulldozers had been ripping up roads in the refugee camp to ensure no roadside bombs are hidden in the area, and to flatten makeshift roadblocks placed by Palestinian gunmen.“There was intelligence information here about explosives under [the road], we didn’t do this in the entire camp, only in specific areas where we knew explosives were placed,” IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said.The IDF said troops located and destroyed at least 11 improvised explosive devices hidden along roads in the Jenin refugee camp on Tuesday.Operatives of terror groups “are planting IEDs and bombs on the roads in the refugee camp and in the city, in a civilian environment. This poses a threat to the security forces who use the roads in counterterrorism activities and to innocent people who also use them,” the IDF said in a statement.The IDF said that since the early hours of Monday, troops had questioned over 300 Palestinian suspects, though only 30 of them were taken in for additional questioning.The military operation began shortly after 1 a.m. on Monday with a series of airstrikes against multiple targets in the city, including a joint war room shared by various armed groups in the city.Throughout the campaign, the IDF said, troops located and demolished at least eight weapon storage sites, six explosives labs with hundreds of primed devices, three war rooms used by Palestinian gunmen to observe Israeli forces, and other “terror infrastructure.” The IDF said it had also seized 24 assault rifles, 8 handguns and dozens of bullets.Troops also carried out some 20 drone strikes against various targets in the refugee camp.“Troops are finding [explosive] labs, weaponry, and demolishing them… the goal is to prevent the refugee camp from becoming an industrial lab for weapons, and to enable us more freedom of action in the refugee camp,” Hagari said.“We’ll need to do this even after this operation. It will provide us with freedom of action to carry out operations in the future,” he added.Internally, the military has referred to the operation by name, calling it “Bayit Vagan,” literally Home and Garden, a reference to Jenin’s biblical name, and the term has been used by Netanyahu as well. But the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit has insisted that the operation has no official name.The military appeared to be downplaying the scale of the campaign by not giving it a name. Hagari has called it a “brigade-level raid.”For weeks, there was speculation about a major Israeli military operation in the West Bank, following a string of shooting attacks and intense resistance to IDF raids in Palestinian cities.The northern West Bank, and especially the city of Jenin and its environs, has long been considered by the IDF as a hotbed of terrorism, highlighted by a string of attacks in early 2022, many of which were carried out by residents of the area.According to the IDF, since last year, some 50 shooting attacks were carried out by residents of the area, and 19 wanted Palestinians escaped to Jenin to seek refuge there from Israeli forces.Tensions between Israelis and Palestinians have been high across the West Bank for the past year and a half, with the military carrying out near-nightly raids, amid a series of deadly Palestinian terror attacks.Since the beginning of this year, Palestinian attacks in Israel and the West Bank have killed 24 people.According to a tally by The Times of Israel, 146 West Bank Palestinians have been killed during that time — most of them during clashes with security forces or while carrying out attacks, but some were uninvolved civilians and others were killed under unclear circumstances.

Violence in Israel, West Bank ‘must stop,’ UN rights chief says-Volker Turk calls for end to violence after Jenin operation and Tel Aviv terror attack, criticizes Israeli airstrikes-By AFP and ToI Staff-JUL 4,23-Today, 9:54 pm

The UN human rights chief on Tuesday decried the cycle of violence in Israel and the West Bank, insisting that the fighting must come to a halt.“The recent operation in the occupied West Bank and car-ramming attack in Tel Aviv worryingly underscore an all too familiar pattern of events: that violence only begets more violence,” Volker Turk said in a statement.“The killing, maiming and the destruction of property must stop,” he said.The ramming and stabbing attack in Tel Aviv wounded seven people on Tuesday before the suspect was shot dead, on the second day of Israel’s biggest military operation in years in the West Bank. One of the wounded was a pregnant woman who lost her child due to her injuries.The Israeli military is operating in Jenin to crack down on terror groups there, after a string of deadly attacks in recent months. Jenin and its environs are seen by security forces as a hotbed of terrorism.The Palestinian terror group Hamas praised the “heroic” Tel Aviv car attack as “an initial response to crimes against our people in the Jenin camp.”Palestinian health officials said Tuesday that 11 people were killed and at least 100 others were wounded in Jenin, including 20 listed in serious condition, during Israeli airstrikes and in clashes with Israeli forces the previous day.All of the slain Palestinians were involved in the fighting, but there were some noncombatants among the wounded, according to the IDF.Turk said the scale of the Jenin operation, including the use of repeated airstrikes, along with the destruction of property, raised serious issues regarding international human rights norms and standards.Some of the methods and weapons used “are more generally associated with the conduct of hostilities in armed conflict, rather than law enforcement,” he said.“The use of airstrikes is inconsistent with rules applicable to the conduct of law enforcement operations. In a context of occupation, the deaths resulting from such airstrikes may also amount to willful killings,” he said.Turk said the Israeli forces in the West Bank needed to abide by international human rights standards on the use of force.“These standards do not change simply because the goal of the operation is stated as ‘counter-terrorism,'” he said. Turk’s statement did not make any other mention of terror groups operating out of the city. IDF forces recovered large quantities of weapons, explosives and other military equipment during the operation, including some stored inside a mosque.United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said Monday that he was “deeply concerned about the developments in Jenin,” according to a statement released by his office.Guterres “affirms that all military operations must be conducted with full respect for international humanitarian law,” the statement said.The UN General Assembly and Human Rights Council have long had a lopsided focus on Israel, with the Jewish state and the US accusing the world bodies of bias and, in some cases, antisemitism.Top UN human rights officials involved in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict have made a number of antisemitic statements, and the General Assembly condemned Israel more than all other countries combined last year.Other world leaders issued similar statements about the Jenin operation on Tuesday.British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak urged Israel to protect Palestinian civilians.Sunak reiterated UK support for Israel’s right to self-defense, and condemned Palestinian terrorist attacks as he was grilled by members of parliament on an array of issues.“We would say the protection of civilians must be prioritized in any military operation, and we urge the IDF to demonstrate restraint in its operation and for all parties to avoid further escalation in both the West Bank and Gaza, both now and in the days ahead,” Sunak said.Sunak said the UK “also called on Israel to adhere to principles of necessity and proportionality when defending their legitimate security interests.”Germany insisted on Israel’s right to self-defense, but urged it to observe “proportionality.”The German foreign ministry said it was watching the latest flare-up of violence in the region with “great concern” but stressed that “Israel, like every state, has the right to defend itself against terror.”However, a ministry spokesman said in a statement that “the principle under international law of proportionality must be respected” in Jenin.A number of countries also condemned the terror attack in Tel Aviv on Tuesday.

ANKARA, Turkey — Egypt and Turkey took a further step toward restoring full diplomatic ties on Tuesday by dispatching ambassadors for the first time in years, the latest step in the reconciliation between the two regional powers.In a joint statement, the two countries announced the appointment of Salih Mutlu Sen as Turkish ambassador to Cairo and of Amr Elhamamy as the Egyptian ambassador to Ankara.“This step aims to establish normal relations between the two countries once again and demonstrates their mutual determination to work towards enhancing their bilateral relations for the best interest of both the Turkish and Egyptian peoples,” the statement said.Egypt and Turkey withdrew their ambassadors as tensions between them flared following the Egyptian military’s 2013 ouster of Islamist president Mohammed Morsi amid mass protests against his divisive one year of rule. Morsi hailed from the Muslim Brotherhood group, which Turkey supported. Egypt has designated the group a terrorist organization.Egypt’s government celebrated the 10th anniversary of the anti-Brotherhood protests on June 30.The rapprochement between the two countries is part of Turkey’s efforts to build bridges with countries in the region and end its international isolation amid an economic downturn. Turkey has recently also repaired its ties with Israel, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates.

Russia accuses Kyiv of ‘terrorist’ drone attack that targeted Moscow-area airport-Russian military claims to down all five drones, says there was no damage or casualties; several flights diverted to other airports-By AFP-JUL 4,23-Today, 10:30 am

MOSCOW — Russia said on Tuesday it had downed five Ukrainian drones in the Moscow region, calling it a “terrorist act” that disrupted the functioning of the Vnukovo international airport.“An attempt by the Kyiv regime to attack a zone where civil infrastructure is located, including an airport that receives international flights, is a new terrorist act,” foreign ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Telegram.The Russian military said it had downed all five drones, and that there was no damage or casualties. Four drones were destroyed by anti-air defense systems while a fifth was neutralized by “electronic means” before crashing, it said.Emergency services cited by the RIA Novosti news agency said one of the drones was neutralized at Kubinka, about 40 kilometers (25 miles) from Vnukovo, whose functioning was briefly interrupted by the attack.Several flights were redirected to other airports and Russia’s air transport agency said traffic at Vnukovo resumed at 0500 GMT.Russia’s Federal Air Transport Agency said that other airports in Moscow and the Moscow region were operating normally.This morning, a kamikaze drone struck on the territory of one of the military facilities in Kubinka (#Moscow region). The Vnukovo airport in Moscow was also attacked, reports Russian media. pic.twitter.com/3OCHuN6YUR — NEXTA (@nexta_tv) July 4, 2023-State-run agency RIA Novosti also reported that two drones had been downed near the village of Valuevo in New Moscow, citing emergency services. The drones had fallen into an “open field” and no casualties had been reported, it said.Moscow mayor Sergei Sobyanin called it “another Ukrainian drone attack attempt.”Drone attacks have hit Russian cities throughout Moscow’s offensive in Ukraine, but have intensified in recent months.Moscow and its environs, lying some 500 kilometers from the Ukrainian border, have up to now been rarely targeted.In early May, two drones were shot down above the Kremlin, and later the same month drones hit Moscow high-rises.Kyiv said early Tuesday that Russia had launched 22 Iranian “Shahed” attack drones at the Sumy, Donetsk and Zaporizhzhia regions. Its forces had “destroyed” 16 of the drones, it said.

IDF says Palestinian gunmen showing little resistance in Jenin, 10 targets remain-Palestinian health officials raise death toll from fighting to 10; military chief holds assessment in West Bank city as forces gear up for second day of operation-By Emanuel-JUL 4,23-Fabian Today, 10:06 am

The Israeli military’s operation in the northern West Bank city of Jenin was set to continue Tuesday following a mostly uneventful night that saw Palestinian gunmen choosing not to fight Israeli forces, potentially signaling an approaching end to the campaign, now in its second day.Israel Defense Forces spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said the military had some ten sites in the city’s restive refugee camp that it aimed to search in the coming hours.He said the IDF had intelligence information that the sites were being used to manufacture explosives and other weapons.Israel launched the major operation early Monday to crack down on what it says is a hotbed of terror in the city. A number of attacks on Israelis in recent years have been carried out by Palestinians from the area, and observers say the Palestinian Authority has little control on the ground.Over 1,000 IDF troops were involved in the campaign, which appeared to be the largest in the West Bank in some 20 years.Palestinian health officials said Tuesday morning that ten people were killed and at least 100 others were wounded, including 20 listed in serious condition, during Israeli airstrikes and in clashes with Israeli forces the previous day.The water and electricity supply to the Jenin refuge camp was disrupted during the operation. Hagari said the military’s liaison to the Palestinians was working to fix it in coordination with the PA. “This happened mainly because of where we damaged roads, where there were hidden explosives,” he said.There were no major clashes overnight Monday or on Tuesday morning, even as IDF chief Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi entered the West Bank city to hold an assessment with forces.“The resistance of the gunmen tonight was low. They ran away from the targets we reached,” Hagari said in a call with reporters, noting that the operation was likely to be wrapped up within days, rather than weeks.He said all of the slain Palestinians were involved in the fighting, but there were some noncombatants among the wounded.The IDF said that since the early hours of Monday, troops had questioned over 120 Palestinian suspects. Several of them were released, while others were taken in for additional questioning.Hagari said the IDF believed there were some 300 Palestinian gunmen in the Jenin refugee camp. He said the military had intelligence on the identities of at least 160 armed Palestinians.Some 3,000 Palestinians streamed out of the Jenin refugee camp on Monday night to escape the fighting.“Anyone who wants to leave the refugee camp is allowed,” Hagari said, clarifying that the IDF had not ordered an evacuation and that there was no closure on Jenin.The military operation began shortly after 1 a.m. on Monday with a series of airstrikes against multiple targets in the city, including a joint war room shared by various armed groups in the city.Throughout the campaign, the IDF said, troops located and demolished weapon storage sites, explosives labs with hundreds of primed devices, war rooms used by Palestinian gunmen to observe Israeli forces, and other “terror infrastructure.”Footage shows IDF demolishing a war room used by Palestinian gunmen in Jenin to track Israeli forces. pic.twitter.com/grwfWSLIiM — Emanuel (Mannie) Fabian (@manniefabian) July 4, 2023-Troops also clashed with armed Palestinians and carried out some 20 drone strikes against various targets in the refugee camp.Hagari said there “wasn’t anywhere in the camp where we haven’t been.”Also overnight, Palestinians vandalized the religious site of Joseph’s Tomb, on the outskirts of the West Bank city of Nablus, footage showed. Hagari said the Palestinian Authority was unable to prevent the rioting, but that security ties with it remained.PA President Mahmoud Abbas on Monday night said security coordination with Israel would remain suspended and other ties would be cut as well, in protest of the Jenin operation. Abbas has threatened to halt security coordination with Israel several times in the past and declared a total freeze in January, but in practice, many parts of the coordination have remained in place.Despite the looming end to the operation, the head of the IDF’s Central Command, Maj. Gen. Yehuda Fox, said Monday that it would not be a one-off raid.“This operation doesn’t stand on its own. This day doesn’t stand on its own. There is a series of operations here, just like we were here a week ago and two weeks ago. We will finish this operation, and we will come back in a few days or a week, and we will not abide [Jenin] being a city of refuge for terror,” Fox said.Leaders of the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terror groups urged Palestinians to join the fighting against the IDF, with some Gaza-based fighters threatening to get involved.Bracing for possible rocket fire from the Gaza Strip, authorities canceled a large concert in the southern city of Sderot on Monday night but took no other precautionary measures. Over the past year, Islamic Jihad has launched rockets at Israel from Gaza in response to members being killed or arrested in the West Bank.One Israeli soldier was lightly hurt during the fighting when he was hit by shrapnel from a grenade hurled by other Israeli forces on Monday morning. The IDF said First Sgt. “Ayin,” from the elite Duvdevan unit — who can only be identified by his rank and initial of his first name in Hebrew — “insisted” on returning to his unit after being treated.Internally, the military has referred to the operation by name, calling it “Bayit Vegan,” literally Home and Garden, a reference to Jenin’s biblical name, and the term has been used by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as well. But the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit has insisted that the operation has no official name.The military appeared to be downplaying the scale of the campaign by not giving it a name. Hagari has called it a “brigade-level raid.”For weeks, there was speculation about a major Israeli military operation in the West Bank, following a string of shooting attacks and intense resistance to IDF raids in Palestinian cities.Last month, an Israeli military drone struck a car carrying three Palestinian gunmen who had just opened fire at a checkpoint in the northern West Bank near Jenin, marking the first targeted killings in the West Bank since 2006.That incident came days after attack helicopters were used in a military raid in Jenin, in which seven Palestinians were killed, including two teens, and eight soldiers were injured by a large roadside bomb and in clashes with Palestinian gunmen.Last week, Palestinians in the Jenin area attempted to launch two homemade rockets at Israeli towns, footage showed. The rockets landed in Palestinian-controlled territory in the northern West Bank and did not reach Israel. A makeshift rocket was located during Monday’s operation in Jenin.The northern West Bank, and especially the city of Jenin and its environs, has long been considered by the IDF as a hotbed of terrorism, highlighted by a string of attacks in early 2022, many of which were carried out by residents of the area.According to the IDF, since last year, some 50 shooting attacks were carried out by residents of the area, and 19 wanted Palestinians escaped to Jenin to seek refuge there from Israeli forces.Tensions between Israelis and Palestinians have been high across the West Bank for the past year and a half, with the military carrying out near-nightly raids, amid a series of deadly Palestinian terror attacks.Since the beginning of this year, Palestinian attacks in Israel and the West Bank have killed 24 people.According to a tally by The Times of Israel, 144 West Bank Palestinians have been killed during that time — most of them during clashes with security forces or while carrying out attacks, but some were uninvolved civilians and others were killed under unclear circumstances.

IDF strikes in Jenin, launches major counterterrorism campaign; 8 Palestinians killed-More than 1,000 troops converge on West Bank city’s refugee camp, over 10 airstrikes carried out; follows weeks of speculation on major military operation-By Emanuel Fabian 3 July 2023, 1:45

Israeli military forces launched a major operation in the West Bank city of Jenin early Monday morning focused on the city’s restive refugee camp, with airstrikes carried out against multiple targets.A senior government official said that “the goal of this extensive operation is to end Jenin’s role as a ‘city of refuge’ for terror, and it will last as long as it needs to.”The campaign appeared to be the largest in the West Bank in 20 years, and came as tensions were sky-high following a series of deadly terror attacks carried out by Palestinians from the Jenin area.The Palestinian Authority health ministry said eight people were killed and at least 27 others were wounded, including seven Palestinians listed in serious condition.The Israel Defense Forces confirmed that “security forces are now engaged in a widescale effort to thwart terror throughout Jenin” and had struck “terror infrastructure” in the city shortly after 1 a.m.The military said it carried out an airstrike against a joint war room shared by various armed groups in the city including the so-called Jenin Battalion, which “served as an observation post, a gathering place for armed terrorists before and after terror acts, a cache for munitions and bombs and a communications center.”IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari told reporters later that the operation was focused on the Jenin refugee camp and was “part of a series of actions that we carry out and will continue to carry out.”“We did not come to occupy the refugee camp. This is not an operation against the Palestinian Authority but against the terror groups in Jenin,” he said.Hagari branded the operation as a “brigade-level raid,” without giving it an official name. More than 1,000 troops were involved in the campaign, according to military sources.The PA health ministry said at least three were killed in the initial strikes. The eight slain Palestinians were named as Samih Firas Abu al-Wafa, Hussam Muhammed Abu Dhiba, Aws al-Hanoun, Noureddine Hossam Marshoud, Muhanned al-Shami, Majdi Ararawi, Ashraf al-Bahr, and Ahmad al-Amer.Several of them were identified by media reports as members of armed groups in the city, although there was no immediate official statement issued by Islamic Jihad or other local terror organizations.The IDF said that after the initial strike on the terror groups’ joint headquarters, at least ten more drone strikes were carried out on wanted operatives and sites used to store and manufacture weapons.Palestinians reported that residents had been sent text messages asking them to remain indoors, while some members of armed groups had received texts urging them to lay down their arms and turn themselves in.Members of the Jenin Battalion, a local Islamic Jihad wing, claimed its members had opened fire on Israeli troops in the city and targeted military vehicles, including a D9 bulldozer, with explosive devices.Meanwhile, Palestinian media reports said that PA security forces arrested a prominent member of the so-called Jaba’ Battalion, another armed group based in the northern West Bank. Morad Malaysha had been wanted by Israel for over a year, the reports said.Sporadic clashes and Israeli airstrikes continued throughout the morning in Jenin.Footage shared online purported to show armored personnel carriers on the outskirts of the Palestinian city.Palestinian media outlets also claimed gunmen managed to down an IDF drone over the city.The IDF said that during the operation, forces located a makeshift rocket and a number of explosive devices, among other weapons and military equipment. At least 20 suspects were detained, a military spokesperson said.The IDF said troops demolished a laboratory used to manufacture explosive devices.One Israeli soldier was lightly hurt during the operation. The IDF said the serviceman was hit by shrapnel from a grenade hurled by other Israeli forces. He was taken to a hospital for further treatment, the IDF added.In the Gaza Strip, Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh put out a message of solidarity with Jenin along with other Gazan terror groups and warned: “The blood spilled in Jenin will determine the next stage, on all potential paths. Our people and their resistance are able to respond to this barbaric aggression.”Security forces were preparing for possible rocket fire from the Strip.A senior security source told the Ynet news site that Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad in Gaza had been sent messages that the operation was limited to Jenin and that they should not intervene, or “we’ll respond severely.”Defense Minister Yoav Gallant hailed the operation in a tweet, saying that “anyone who harms the citizens of Israel will pay a heavy price.”“We are closely monitoring the behavior of our enemy. The defense establishment is prepared for any scenario,” Gallant added.In an apparently unrelated incident, the Palestinian Authority health ministry said a 21-year-old man, named as Muhammed Hassanein, was shot dead by Israeli troops at the entrance to the city of al-Bireh, close to Ramallah. There was no immediate comment from the IDF on the incident.In another incident, Palestinian gunmen opened fire at the West Bank settlement of Avnei Hefetz on Monday morning, causing slight damage to a building, the IDF said. Troops were scanning the area for suspects.Avnei Hefetz, close to the Palestinian city of Tulkarem, has come under fire several times in recent months.Meanwhile, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, a spokesman for PA President Mahmoud Abbas, slammed the IDF operation in Jenin, calling it a “new war crime against our defenseless people.”For weeks there had been speculation about a major Israeli military operation in the West Bank, following a string of shooting attacks and intense resistance to IDF raids in Palestinian cities.Last month, an Israeli drone struck a car carrying three Palestinian gunmen who had just opened fire at a checkpoint in the northern West Bank near Jenin, marking the first targeted killings in the West Bank since 2006.That incident came days after attack helicopters were used in a military raid in Jenin in which seven Palestinians were killed, including two teens, and eight soldiers were injured by a large roadside bomb and in clashes with Palestinian gunmen.Last week, Palestinians in the Jenin area attempted to launch two homemade rockets at Israeli towns, footage showed.

Most of the terror attacks against Israelis originated from Jenin. No nation would sit idly by as terrorists strike its citizens.”Tensions between Israelis and Palestinians have been high across the West Bank for the past year and a half, with the military carrying out near-nightly raids, amid a series of deadly Palestinian terror attacks.Since the beginning of this year, Palestinian attacks in Israel and the West Bank have killed 24 people.According to a tally by The Times of Israel, 143 West Bank Palestinians have been killed during that time, most of them during clashes with security forces or while carrying out attacks, but some were uninvolved civilians and others were killed under unclear circumstances.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

China experiences four heatwaves in June, with high temperature days recorded more often and earlier than usual-By Global Times Published: Jul 05, 2023 02:13 AM
 
China experienced four heatwaves this June, with high temperature days recorded more often and earlier than usual. This has resulted in drought in multiple places due to high temperature and little rain. China Meteorological Administration reflected on the national weather and climate characteristics in June and forecasted the climate trend and released disaster prevention and mitigation recommendations for July on Tuesday. According to the administration, the climate in June showed prominent warm and dry climate features, with the national average temperature at 21.1 C, higher than average usual temperature by 0.7 C, and came as the second highest in history since 1961, only lower than and 21.3 C in June of 2022. Meanwhile, the national average precipitation in June was 86.7 millimeters, less than the usual average by 15.6 percent, the least in precipitation since 2005. In June, China experienced four regional high temperature processes. The first regional high temperature process for this year happened between May 28 and June 5, 16 days earlier than usual, with its major affected areas covering Shanghai as well as Yunnan, Sichuan, Anhui and Guangdong provinces. Over 70 meteorological stations in Yunnan recorded high temperatures breaking through the historical extremes.The strongest heatwave of this year occurred between June 21 and 30, with the municipalities and provinces including Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shandong and Henan suffering extreme high temperatures. A total of 22 meteorological stations recorded historic high temperatures. The heatwave resulted in the rapid development of drought in the northern areas. Besides, Yunnan experienced the strongest drought in winter and spring since 1961, which has been relived with obvious more precipitation since June 9. Whereas in June, the meteorological drought has developed rapidly in the southeast of Inner Mongolia, the central and western parts of Northeast China, the north part of North China and so on due to high temperature and little rain. The administration also noted that a total of four rainstorms occurred in China since June with the precipitation in the southern part of Central China, the southern part of East China, the central and western part of South China, and the eastern part of Southwest China experiencing precipitation reaching 50 millimeters to 100 millimeters. The administration also released the forecast of climate trends for July. In terms of precipitation, it is expected that the main raining areas in the next 10 days between July 4 and 13 will be in places including Huanghuai, Jianghan, Jianghuai, Jiangnan North, Sichuan Basin, western and southern parts of Yunnan, with the cumulative precipitation of about 50 millimeters to 90 millimeters and some areas of 100 millimeters to 150 millimeters, or even more than 200 millimeters. In terms of temperature, it is expected that between July 5 and 7, the eastern part of North China, Fenwei Plain, the northern part of Henan and the northern part of Shandong will experience high temperatures of 35 C to 38 C, and the daily maximum temperatures in some areas can reach 39 C to 41 C. It is expected that in July, the temperature in most parts of the country will be close to that of the same period of the year to higher than usual. The temperatures in the places including the central and western part of Inner Mongolia, the western part of Liaoning, Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, Shanxi, the central and northern part of Shaanxi, the southern part of Fujian, Taiwan, Guangdong will be 1 to 2 degrees higher than usual. According to China’s National Climate Center, affected by low precipitation and high temperature in the previous period, severe drought has occurred in Chifeng in Inner Mongolia and Chengde in Hebei. Besides, the eastern part of Inner Mongolia, the western part of Jilin, the western part of Liaoning, the northeastern part of Hubei, and the northern part of Shandong have also suffered moderate to severe meteorological drought.

Is the UK getting hotter, and what causes heatwaves?-Georgina Rannard - Climate and science reporter-Mon, July 3, 2023 at 12:10 p.m. EDT·3 min read

The Met Office says hot summers are happening more frequently.Weather readings dating back more than a century point to long-term changes in the UK's temperature.Is the UK getting hotter?Yes, Britain has been slowly getting warmer since the 19th Century. In the past three decades, the UK has become 0.9C warmer.The 10 hottest years since 1884 have all happened since 2002. And none of the coldest years has been recorded this century.In 2022 the UK smashed its highest temperature record when 40.3C was recorded at Coningsby in Lincolnshire in July.Summer 2022 smashed dozens of records-The previous record was 38.7C in Cambridge in 2019.-More than half of the UK's oldest active weather stations recorded their hottest day ever in 2022, according to Met Office data.The UK recorded its hottest average temperature for June on record in 2023.The average monthly temperature of 15.8C exceeded the previous highest average June temperature, recorded in 1940 and 1976, by 0.9C.Met Office scientists said climate change made the long period of warm weather twice as likely.Last year was the UK's warmest year on record, with the average annual temperature exceeding 10C for the first time.When does hot weather become a heatwave? A heatwave is a period of hot weather where temperatures are higher than is expected for the time of year.In the UK, the Met Office declares a heatwave when it records at least three days in a row with maximum temperatures exceeding a set temperature.That threshold varies by county.Heatwaves usually happen in summer when high pressure develops over an area.They can also bring so-called "tropical nights" - when night-time temperatures fail to drop below 20C.That can make it hard to sleep at night and the body can suffer, as it fails to sufficiently cool down.10 tips for sleeping in hot weather The Met Office says it's not clear whether heatwaves are becoming more frequent because of their sporadic nature.Why are we seeing these changes? NO ITS NOT THE MONEY GRABBING CLIMATE SCAM.ITS GOD JUDGING THE THE EARTH WITH THE SUN-LIKE THE BIBLE SAYS GOD WILL DESTROY THE EARTH WITH THE EARTH.BECAUSE OF SIN).Climate change is causing global temperatures to rise. Greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide, released into Earth's atmosphere in large volumes are trapping the sun's heat, causing the planet to warm.This has brought more extreme weather, including record-breaking high temperatures across the world.Periods of intense heat do occur within natural weather patterns, but scientists say that globally they are becoming more frequent, more intense and are lasting longer as a result of global warming.Two women walking in rain-The UK is also seeing more dramatic rainfall as a result of climate change.In the UK, the Met Office has warned that summers like 2018 are 30 times more likely now than before the Industrial Revolution - the point when humans starting producing the emissions that are responsible for climate change.A report on climate extremes in the UK found that recent years have seen both higher maximum temperatures and longer warm spells.That trend is predicted to continue. It's possible that by 2100, the UK could see 40C days every three to four years.Are soaring temperatures linked to climate change? A very simple guide to climate change.UK already undergoing disruptive climate change.Is hot weather dangerous? Hot weather can be dangerous particularly for the vulnerable, including elderly people, children and people with underlying health conditions.Spending too much time in high temperatures or in the sun, can cause health issues such as heat stroke and cardiovascular failure.There are also indirect effects like poorer mental health and an increase in accidents such as car crashes and drownings.In August 2003, 20,000 people died following a heatwave in Europe lasting 10 days, according to the Met Office.The higher death rate starts to kick in once the thermometer passes 25C-26C.

EDMONTON — A preliminary report on a weekend tornado in central Alberta says its winds were so violent they picked up a 10-tonne farm combine and tossed it half the length of a football field."(The combine) then rolled for another 50 to 100 metres after that," said the report, issued Tuesday by the Northern Tornadoes Project.The report follows up on ground and drone surveys on the tornado that ripped through the rural area between the towns of Carstairs and Didsbury on Saturday.Researchers rated the twister as a four on the Enhanced Fujita, or EF, scale of wind-damage intensity, one short of the maximum rating of five.The storm destroyed three homes and damaged seven more, downed power lines, killed livestock, shredded trees and damaged vehicles.The report said there was one injury — a cut to a first responder.The estimated maximum wind speed was 275 kilometres per hour along a 15-kilometre path that stretched as wide as 620 metres.It was the fiercest tornado to hit Alberta since the infamous “Black Friday” F4 storm in 1987, which killed 27 people and destroyed hundreds of homes in Edmonton.And it’s the second EF4 storm to hit Canada since it adopted the EF damage scale a decade ago.The first EF4 struck Alonsa, Man., in 2018, killing one person while destroying houses, farms and cabins.“The Didsbury EF4 tornado enters some rarefied territory among Canadian tornado events,” said the report.“Though this was a climatologically significant tornado, it thankfully won't enter the list of Canada's top 10 'worst' tornadoes due to the single minor injury and limited property damage.”Northern Tornadoes Project, affiliated with Western University in London, Ont., completed the report with Environment and Climate Change Canada and the Arctic Storm Prediction Centre.Area resident Elisa Humphreys recounted how she managed to flee just before the twister levelled her home and another building on her property.Scores of volunteers showed up the next day with gift cards and helped find mementoes in the wreckage.Environment and Climate Change Canada said Alberta typically sees 15 tornadoes per year, based on data collected between 1980 and 2009.So far this year, the province has had up to 13.This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 4, 2023.Dean Bennett, The Canadian Press

B.C. in position for scorching heat and smoky skies this week-Digital Writers-Tue, July 4, 2023 at 10:45 a.m. EDT

It's going to be a sizzling start to the work week for British Columbia, as temperatures and smoke concentrations are expected to rise into Tuesday.A building ridge of high pressure is moving in from the Pacific Ocean, pushing temperatures up to 10°C above average for some inland locations along the South Coast.Temperatures across inland sections of the Lower Mainland will soar into the low 30s, rivalling some of the warmest days of 2023. Overnight lows will remain stubbornly in the mid-to-upper teens. Those particularly vulnerable to the heat should take precautions.With under 20 mm of rainfall recorded in Vancouver, it’s no wonder fire danger remains near extreme levels for this time of year. It’s possible that the South Coast doesn’t pick up any appreciable precipitation over the next couple of weeks.It’s the third most destructive wildfire season in terms of area burned across the province of B.C., and some of that smoke from the wildfires in the Prince will become quite noticeable across the southern half through Tuesday.As of July 3rd, there are 47 wildfires classified as out of control by the BC Wildfire Service.Long Range Outlook-Temperatures will remain well above seasonal for western sections of British Columbia right through Thursday before temperatures drop into next weekend. The extreme temperature anomalies will shift across northeastern B.C., making for volatile fire weather conditions.Stay with The Weather Network for the latest on the severe storm threat across the region.

Quebec forest fire situation continues to improve with rain but risks remain: SOPFEU-Mon, July 3, 2023 at 6:16 p.m. EDT

MONTREAL — The forest fire situation in Quebec is improving after recent rain, the province's wildfire prevention agency said Monday, though large blazes continue to burn and fire risk remains high in dry areas along James Bay.The risk of forest fires is now much lower in eastern and southern Quebec, Stéphane Caron, a spokesman for the agency SOPFEU, said in an interview."The rain that fell in the past few days helped contain the fires and, as well, the work that has been done over the past month means that even if the fires are still not extinguished, under control, they're much safer than they were, the communities," he said, adding firefighters have worked to secure areas around the blazes where they may threaten communities.There are currently more than 100 fires burning in the province, including 67 in what SOPFEU calls its "intensive protection zone" — where it systematically fights all fires. Only three of those are considered out of control, particularly in the area around Chibougamau, Que., about 416 kilometres northwest of Quebec City.But while the provincewide situation has improved, Caron said the risk from the fires isn't yet over."There are still risks because the blazes are still huge," he said.One fire burning near the city of Lebel-sur-Quévillon — which was evacuated twice in June — covers more than 4,000 square kilometres, he said.That fire has been contained, but is still not controlled, he said, explaining that a contained fire is not currently advancing but could in the future, while a controlled fire is definitely stopped."So we have to aim to control the fires, because if there is another period of drought, another period of very hot weather, the fires could rise from their ashes and cause us problems again," he said.Between 1,300 and 1,400 firefighters are on the ground, Caron said, including 150 South Korean wilderness firefighters who arrived in the province on Sunday.While Quebec's wilderness firefighters usually work up to 24 days straight, Caron said their work usually comes to an end at points over the summer. But this year, with the work of controlling all the fires expected to take the entire season, it will be difficult to ensure firefighters get the time off they need to recuperate.While the risk of fires in much of the province has declined, dry conditions continue in the northwestern Jamésie region where several large fires are burning.That area is in SOPFEU's northern zone, where fires are only fought if they pose a threat to communities or strategic infrastructure.There are currently 44 fires in the northern zone, a number Caron described as high.Even though most aren't being actively fought, "the number of fires is still concerning," he said.Quebec's Natural Resources and Forests Department also announced it had reduced the area covered by an outdoor fire ban. As of Monday, the ban primarily applies in the province's northwest, as well as in two small parts of the Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region.Restrictions on accessing forests on public land were also relaxed further on Monday.This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 3, 2023.Jacob Serebrin, The Canadian Press.

Smoke from one of Northwest Territories' worst fire seasons made it to Portugal-Randi Mann-Mon, July 3, 2023 at 6:14 a.m. EDT

This Day In Weather History is a daily podcast by Chris Mei from The Weather Network, featuring stories about people, communities and events and how weather impacted them.--By Thursday, July 3, 2014, 123 fires were reported in the Northwest Territories and 92 were still active. On average, N.W.T. gets around 245 fires each year, but in 2014, the territory saw 385.The 2014 N.W.T. wildfire season was highly active and broke several records.Courtesy of Government of Northwest Territories-It cost $56.1 million to fight the fires that year. That included $24 million on aircraft and around $7 million on personnel. A total of 3.4 million hectares of forest land were burned.The smoke from the fires reached North Dakota, which is over 2,000 km south. The smoke also headed east, through the Maritimes and into Portugal.During N.W.T.'s extremely aggressive fire season, no injuries or deaths were reported. However, a report of the season outlined that there is room for improvement for firefighter working conditions.The report mentions that demanding fire seasons require more personnel. The territorial government can utilize 28 five-person firefighting crews. The report suggests that the configuration should change to 36 four-person crews.The 2014 fire seasons also highlighted the need for better communication. The report shares that the government needs to improve communication with communities on the status of adjacent fires. This includes an improved website, a dedicated communications officer, increased social media presence, and the inclusion of aboriginal languages on fire signage.N.W.T.'s 2014 wildfire season was highly active and led to much larger discussions around fire management.

The 6 Strangest Things We've Seen In 2023's Weather So Far-By Jonathan Erdman-JUL 2,23

At a Glance-2023 has had its share of bizarre weather in the first six months.This included major smoke episodes, drought-to-flood whiplash and early Atlantic tropical activity.There have also been some weird tornadoes and global tropical cyclones.2023's first half had some bizarre weather, spanning the meteorological spectrum from snow to tropical cyclones to tornadoes to wildfire smoke.S?ome of these weather events were strange for where or when they occurred. Others were just plain weird.Here is our ranked list of the strangest things we saw in the first half of 2023, followed by some other oddities in a list of honorably weird mentions.6?. A Strange Tornado Year-January had the third most confirmed tornadoes of any January since 1950, according to preliminary data from NOAA's Storm Prediction Center. A?mong those were Iowa's first January tornadoes in 56 years on Jan. 24.During a month more notorious for major East Coast snowstorms, an EF2 tornado tore through parts of central New Jersey on Feb. 21, only the fifth February tornado in the Garden State since 1950.On April Fools' Day, Delaware's widest tornado, only the state's second F/EF3 on record, tore through parts of Sussex County. Its ghostly white appearance was also accompanied by a rainbow.Then, the typically dangerous month of May failed to produce a single EF3 or stronger tornado for only the second time since 1950.We are unable to display this content because your device is associated with an opt-out in another geographical region.5?. The Northeast’s Pathetic Snowfall-The prime months for snow in the Northeast didn’t deliver in 2023, particularly along the Interstate 95 corridor.For the first time in records dating to 1869, New York’s Central Park had to wait until February for their first measurable snow of the season.Both New York (2.3 inches) and Baltimore (0.2 inches) had their least snowy seasons (fall through spring) on record. Baltimore had more severe thunderstorm warnings in winter than inches of snow. Neither Philadelphia nor Washington, D.C., could scrape up an inch of snow all season.Instead, one of the East’s warmest winters on record left flowers blooming in Central Park and leaves popping in Pennsylvania.We are unable to display this content because your device is associated with an opt-out in another geographical region.4. Freddy's Odyssey-Tropical Cyclone Freddy formed south of Indonesia on Feb. 6. Little did we know it was embarking on a month-plus pilgrimage that would prove catastrophic in one country and would rewrite the global tropical cyclone history books.F?reddy made landfall in Madagascar just over two weeks later, then in Mozambique on Feb. 24.B?ut that still wasn't all. Its remnant double-backed over its previous path and became a tropical storm again over the Mozambique Channel on March 4. It spent a week over that body of water before making its second Mozambique landfall, then moving into Malawi.F?reddy may have set a record for the globe's longest lasting tropical cyclone, though a committee of the World Meteorological Organization will examine this in detail and make the final determination.R?egardless, Freddy rapidly intensified seven different times during its saga, three more times than any previous tropical cyclone.A?nd it dumped six months' worth of rain in the east African country of Malawi, where over 500,000 residents were displaced and over 500 were killed, according to the U.N. World Food Programme.3. California And The West's Whiplash-Last fall, concern was high in California and the Great Basin after two straight rainy seasons were much drier than usual. One more such season would lead to more critical water deficits, aside from the long-term challenges facing lakes Mead and Powell.What followed was one of the sharpest famine-to-feast precipitation episodes of recent memory.A parade of 31 atmospheric river events hammered California and the West from November through March.Almost 63 feet of snowfall made it the snowiest season in 71 years at Cal-Berkeley’s Central Sierra Snow Lab, according to weather historian Christopher Burt.Rare blizzard warnings were issued for the mountains of Southern California in late February. Following that and another storm, parts of the high country were buried in snow for weeks.The massive snow blocked roads and collapsed some homes and buildings not just in California, but also in Utah and Idaho.While snowmelt flooding was damaging in some areas, some California reservoirs were fully replenished, and satellite data confirmed California had its largest yearly recovery in water supply in almost 22 years.A person walks near snowbanks obscuring condominiums as snow falls in the Sierra Nevada mountains from yet another storm system which is predicted to bring heavy snow to higher elevations on March 28, 2023, in Mammoth Lakes, Calif. (Mario Tama/Getty Images) 2. Hurricane Season's Weird Start-Coming into hurricane season, an El Niño developed and was forecast to intensify and potentially become strong.By itself, that usually diminishes the number of storms and hurricanes and also steers them away from parts of the Atlantic Basin.However, the Atlantic Ocean’s main corridor for tropical development – between Africa and the Lesser Antilles – became record warm for any June in at least 41 years.That, paired with an unusual lack of storm-suppressing dust-laden air from the Sahara Desert, allowed tropical storms Bret and Cindy to develop. It was the first time more than one June storm formed east of the Lesser Antilles in the same hurricane season.If that wasn’t bizarre enough, the National Hurricane Center said an unnamed subtropical storm occurred off the East Coast in mid-January.1. June's Smoke Shows-It all started with a record hot May across much of Canada. That set the table for a rash of wildfires that quickly scorched more land than any previous year on record in the country.All that smoke had to go somewhere.An early June weather pattern pulled the eastern Canada smoke into the Northeast U.S. from June 6 to 8. New York, Baltimore and Washington, D.C., each set record levels of particulate pollution, as each city’s sky resembled a Martian sky for a time.Then in the last week of June, another mass of Canadian smoke poured into the Midwest and East, also lasting for days. At least 10 major cities smashed all-time particulate pollution records, including Chicago and Pittsburgh.“Combined, we have experienced nothing like June 2023 any time in the recent past,” Ryan Stauffer, an air pollution scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center, told weather.com.A man talks on his phone as he looks through the haze at the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee, N.J., Wednesday, June 7, 2023. Intense Canadian wildfires are blanketing the northeastern U.S. in a dystopian haze, turning the air acrid, the sky yellowish gray and prompting warnings for vulnerable populations to stay inside.

Europe's Euclid mission launches to unveil the 'dark universe'-Europe's Euclid mission launches to unveil the 'dark universe' Scott Sutherland-Tue, July 4, 2023 at 1:50 p.m. EDT

A new telescope has just launched into space that will 'shed light' onto the unseen universe of dark matter and dark energy.There are two grand mysteries of the universe that currently occupy the thoughts of astronomers and astrophysicists.From what we can see with our telescopes, galaxies behave very strangely. How they rotate, how they interact with each other, and how their gravity bends light, they appear to have far more 'stuff' in them than just with stars, gas, and dust we can detect. Point any kind of telescope you want out into the universe, from gamma ray down to radio, and there's just no way to account for the extra mass these galaxies (including our own) appear to contain. Scientists call this unseen, unaccounted-for portion dark matter.On an even larger scale, our universe is growing, with galaxies getting farther apart from each other as time goes on. The strange part is that the expansion of the universe is speeding up, but there isn't anything we can see or detect driving this acceleration. The reason for it is currently called dark energy.On Saturday, July 1, 2023, a new telescope launched into space that may help us figure out the mysteries behind dark matter and dark energy. The European Space Agency's Euclid mission was boosted into orbit by a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, and is now making the journey out to Lagrange Point 2, roughly 1.5 million kilometres 'behind' Earth (as viewed from the Sun).According to the ESA:Euclid will observe billions of galaxies out to 10 billion light-years to create the largest, most accurate 3D map of the Universe, with the third dimension representing time itself. This detailed chart of the shape, position and movement of galaxies will reveal how matter is distributed across immense distances and how the expansion of the Universe has evolved over cosmic history, enabling astronomers to infer the properties of dark energy and dark matter. This will help theorists to improve our understanding of the role of gravity and pin down the nature of these enigmatic entities."Today we celebrate the successful launch of a ground-breaking mission that places Europe at the forefront of cosmological studies," Carole Mundell, ESA's Director of Science, said on Saturday. "If we want to understand the Universe we live in, we need to uncover the nature of dark matter and dark energy and understand the role they played in shaping our cosmos. To address these fundamental questions, Euclid will deliver the most detailed map of the extra-galactic sky. This inestimable wealth of data will also enable the scientific community to investigate many other aspects of astronomy, for many years to come."A 3-month wait-Very similar to what happened with the James Webb Space Telescope, Euclid is now on a journey beyond Earth's orbit, out to Lagrange Point 2 (L2). a 'stable' point in space, produced by the gravity of Earth, the Moon and the Sun.This diagram shows an idealized view of the five Lagrange Points produced by the gravity of the Sun, Earth and Moon. A telescope is shown orbiting around Lagrange Point 2 (L2). The diagram is not to scale. Credit: NASA/WMAP Science Team-"L2 is ideal for astronomy because a spacecraft is close enough to readily communicate with Earth, can keep Sun, Earth and Moon behind the spacecraft for solar power and (with appropriate shielding) provides a clear view of deep space for our telescopes," says NASA.This diagram details the timeline of Euclid's journey to L2 and the weeks of testing required before it begins collecting science on the dark universe. Credit: ESA (CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO)-According to the ESA, it should take Euclid four weeks to reach L2. On the journey, the telescope will cool down so that its mirrors can provide the sharpest picture of the cosmos (like JWST did). Once at L2, the spacecraft will then turn on its instruments and align the telescope, and begin a two-month long process of testing to ensure that it can do its job.After all that, roughly three months from now, Euclid can then begin mapping the unseen cosmos.

30,000 bees swarm Sparks Street, break tree branch-Tue, July 4, 2023 at 3:54 p.m. EDT

A swarm of 30,000 bees split from a hive on the roof of a downtown Ottawa office building Tuesday and moved into a tree on Sparks Street.According to the Sparks Street BIA, the bees are part of a colony that lives in hives on top of 181 Queen Street, the office building that houses the CBC.Kevin McHale, executive director of Sparks Street BIA, told Radio-Canada that Morguard, the real estate company that owns the building, called a beekeeper to get the situation under control.McHale said the colony, estimated by the beekeeper to be about 30,000 strong, was so heavy the bees broke a branch off the tree in which they had taken up temporary residence.Morguard, the company that owns the building where the bees used to live, called a beekeeper to capture and relocate the colony. (Jonathan Dupaul/Radio-Canada)Although the colony piqued the attention of numerous passersby, no injuries were reported and the BIA received no complaints.The beekeeper installed a box near the tree with the intention of capturing and relocating the bees, McHale said..

PSALMS 14:1
1  To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.

ROMANS 1:18-32
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
23 And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things.
24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:(HOMOSEXUALITY,AND ALL SEX SINS)
25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:(LESBIENS)
27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly,(SODOMITES) and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.(AIDS ETC)
28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;
29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,
30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,
31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:
32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

GOD CREATED THEM MALE AND FEMALE IN MARRIAGE

GENESIS 1:27-28
27  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
28  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply,(HAVE LOTS OF CHILDREN) and replenish the earth,(HOMOSEXUALS CAN NOT REPLENISH THE EARTH WITH CHILDREN)(BY HAVING SEX WITH EACH OTHER) and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

GENESIS 2:21-24
21  And the LORD God caused a deep sleep to fall upon Adam, and he slept: and he took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh instead thereof;
22  And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23  And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
24  Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.

MATTHEW 19:4-6
4  And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5  And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?
6  Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

Whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.
The proud look of man will be abased And the loftiness of man will be humbled,And the Lord alone will be exalted in that day.

The Canadian Press-LGBTQ advocates call for government funding, support following rise in 'hate' Tue, July 4, 2023 at 4:55 p.m. EDT

LGBTQ rights advocates in Ottawa are calling for help from all levels of government to combat what they say is an explosion of hate.The call comes almost a month after a large protest against "gender ideology" took place outside city schools and led to clashes with police and pro-LGBTQ counter-protesters.Another large protest and counter-protest took place last week outside a drag story time event at the National Arts Centre.LGBTQ advocate Fae Johnstone says the protests in Ottawa reflect the rise in hate "happening all across this country."Johnstone says she's heard from community organizers and drag performers that they have received death threats and attacks on their identity.Several groups, including Capital Pride and the AIDS Committee of Ottawa, are seeking funding and support to combat the tirade of misinformation and hatred.This report by The Canadian Press was first published July 4, 2023.––—This story was produced with the financial assistance of the Meta and Canadian Press News Fellowship.

15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

DANIEL 8:23-25
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king (EU DICTATOR) of fierce countenance, and understanding dark sentences,(FROM THE OCCULT) shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power:(SATANS POWER) and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes;(JESUS) but he shall be broken without hand.DANIEL 11:36-40
36 And the king shall do according to his will;(EU PRESIDENT) and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is determined shall be done.
37 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers,(THIS EU DICTATOR IS A EUROPEAN JEW) nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all.
38 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces:(HES A MILITARY GINIUS) and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
39 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds (CONTROL HEZBOLLAH,AL-QUAIDA MURDERERS ETC) with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many,(HIS ARMY LEADERS) and shall divide the land for gain.
40 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south(EGYPT) push at him:(EU DICTATOR PROTECTING ISRAELS SECURITY) and the king of the north(RUSSIA) shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over.

ZECHARIAH 14:12-13
12 And this shall be the plague wherewith the LORD will smite all the people that have fought against Jerusalem; Their flesh shall consume away while they stand upon their feet, and their eyes shall consume away in their holes, and their tongue shall consume away in their mouth.
13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from the LORD shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbour, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbour.(1/2-3 BILLION DIE IN WW3)
