TAKE YOUR SHOTS LIKE GOOD LITTLE SHEEP TO SLAUGHTER.
Deaths Raise Safety Concerns Around Gene Therapy-Prospects grow cloudy for technology just when it appeared to have turned a corner-By-Oct. 1, 2021 5:30 am ET
Safety scares, including deaths of several young study subjects, have set back efforts to bring more gene therapies to market, clouding one of biotech’s most promising technologies and hottest sectors.Gene therapy, which replaces defective genes, promises to deliver one-time treatment for inherited diseases. Two treatments are approved for use, while dozens are in development.In September, however, a young boy with a rare neuromuscular disease died after receiving a gene therapy in a clinical trial run by Japan’s Astellas Pharma Inc., ALPMY -0.06% and regulators halted a BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. BMRN -0.82% gene-therapy study after discovering cancer in mice that received the treatment.What do you make of recent gene-therapy safety scares? Join the conversation below.The Astellas-study death came after the trial was allowed to resume following the previous deaths of three boys treated with the same therapy.Get a morning briefing about the coronavirus pandemic three times a week and a weekly Health newsletter when the crisis abates.The Food and Drug Administration held a two-day public meeting in September with outside experts to discuss how to manage the potentially serious side effects associated with gene therapies.“Investor sentiment is probably at all-time lows for gene therapy,” said Luca Issi, senior biotechnology analyst at RBC Capital Markets. A few years ago, “the skies were blue, and now that is not the case.”BioMarin’s share price fell 8.4% on the day after announcing the study pause, shedding $1.3 billion of its market value. Astellas shares fell 2% in Tokyo on the day following its disclosure of the patient death.Across nearly 30 publicly traded gene-therapy developers, share prices have declined by an average of 25.6% so far in 2021, compared with a 6.9% rise in the Nasdaq Biotechnology Index and a 14.7% increase in the S&P 500.Some gene-therapy researchers, however, say the spate of negative headlines is a symptom of the field’s success, which has led to an increase in gene-therapy treatments being tested in patients.“One of the reasons you’re hearing about all these [setbacks] is that the scale of these trials is going up exponentially because the therapies are all working so well,” says Nicole Paulk, assistant professor of biochemistry and biophysics at the University of California, San Francisco. “With that increase in numbers, there will be increases in growing pains.”Gene therapy aims to treat diseases such as hemophilia and certain forms of muscular dystrophy by providing working copies of the genes that are defective or missing in people with inherited diseases. Typically, the new gene is carried inside a harmless virus (injected into the patient), which acts as a vessel to insert healthy DNA into cells.Since 2015, 30 gene-therapy companies have gone public in initial-public offerings, raising $4.8 billion, according to data from Piper Sandler. More than 30 gene-therapy developers and suppliers have been acquired in deals valued at up to $43.5 billion since 2016, according to Piper.Most gene therapies first pass through the liver before they can get to their intended cell targets, and it has long been known that high doses can cause liver damage. Researchers at the National Institutes of Health and elsewhere have in recent years also found a potential long-term risk for cancer in mice and dogs treated with gene therapies.The risk of cancer resulting from gene therapies like the kind that BioMarin is developing has so far been seen only in animal studies, which aren’t always good proxies for how drugs will act in humans, said Henry Fuchs, president of world-wide research and development at BioMarin.“Liver cancer as a result of gene therapy has never been observed in a human, and so at this point it remains a theoretical concern, not an observed risk,” Dr. Fuchs said.BioMarin faced an even bigger setback last year when the FDA unexpectedly refused to approve BioMarin’s gene therapy for the bleeding disorder hemophilia, saying it wanted more detailed, long-term data before allowing the therapy on the market. “That surprise was a year-long setback,” Dr. Fuchs said.BioMarin expects in the coming months to have two years of study data that the FDA requested and to file for approval in 2022, Dr. Fuchs said. The company has said available data indicate the therapy is effective for at least five years, but won’t be a lifetime cure.Scientists have been working for decades to make gene therapy a reality, tantalized by the allure of curing inherited diseases such as cystic fibrosis by providing patients with functional copies of their defective genes.More than 20 years ago, a single gene-therapy study death all but halted the research in its tracks. In 1999, a mostly healthy 18-year-old named Jesse Gelsinger died of multi-organ failure after receiving an experimental gene therapy for a rare liver disease.In the aftermath, some large companies and academic researchers abandoned the research, and venture-capital funding dried up. The research that continued mostly ended in failure.Over the past decade, however, the field made a comeback. The FDA approved the first gene-therapy product in 2017, clearing the use of Luxturna to treat an inherited type of vision-loss affecting up to 3,000 people in the U.S. In 2019, the regulator cleared Zolgensma to treat a muscle-wasting disease that affects as many as 500 babies born in the U.S. each year.The lucrative market for rare-disease treatments, in which companies can charge high prices for small patient populations, helped trigger a wave of deal-making for gene-therapy makers. In 2018, Novartis AG had acquired Zolgensma-maker AveXis for $8.7 billion. The following year, Roche Holding AG agreed to buy Spark Therapeutics, developer of Luxturna, for $4.8 billion.Also in 2019, Astellas paid $3 billion to acquire San Francisco-based Audentes Therapeutics Inc., developer of gene therapy for X-Linked myotubular myopathy, an often-fatal rare disease in which muscle weakness prevents normal bone development in babies, leading to difficulties breathing and swallowing.Last year, researchers reported preliminary clinical trial data showing that many of the young boys treated with the Astellas therapy, code-named AT132, had rapid improvements in motor functions such as crawling and walking and their ability to breathe without ventilatorsYet since the summer of 2020, four boys have died in the Astellas study of children younger than five years after developing liver dysfunction in the weeks after treatment.Astellas researchers are still investigating the latest patient death in their gene-therapy study, but think that certain X-Linked myotubular myopathy patients are particularly susceptible to liver damage because of their underlying disease and that there is no evidence that an immune reaction to the virus delivering the healthy gene is causing the problem, said Nathan Bachtell, head of Astellas Gene Therapies.The company hopes to find a way to safely restart the clinical trial, possibly by excluding enrollment of patients with a high risk of liver dysfunction, Dr. Bachtell said.Write to Joseph Walker at joseph.walker@wsj.com-Appeared in the October 2, 2021, print edition as 'Safety Concerns Increase Around Gene Therapy.'
I BELIEVE WHEN THE VACCINE WAS MADE THEY INCERTED THE VARIANTS RIGHT IN THE VACCINE. THE WAY THIS LADY SAYS THEY DID TO ANIMALS. THEN THAT BOX OF VACCINES WAS SENT TO WHAT COUNTRY FAUCI-GATES AND DRUG DEALERS PFIZER WANTED TO START THE FALSE3 FLAG FROM. WHICH WAS CHINA WITH COVID. INDIA WITH DELTA. AND SOUTH AFRICA WITH OMICRON. THIS IS A PERFECT COVER UP SO NORTH AMERICA NEVER GOT THE BLAME FOR THE 3 DISEASES. AND BILL GATES WORKS CLOSELY WITH 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES.

We are a nonprofit fighting poverty, disease, and inequity around the world. We can’t achieve our goals on our own. We work together with businesses, government, and nonprofits, and each partner plays a specific role in accelerating progress. As COVID-19 variants continue to surge around the world, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation announce a new $150 million commitment to the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations and make the case for faster, more equitable vaccine access. Southern Africa: Last in line for vaccines, first in line for travel bans.When WHO announced late last month that researchers in South Africa and Botswana had identified a new COVID-19 variant, dubbed Omicron, the immediate reaction around the world was visceral fear. We don’t know where Omicron really originated. But we do know that once scientists began looking for it, they found it in at least 24 countries. South Africans fought hard for these research centers because for decades, the country has borne a heavy infectious disease burden, with high rates of HIV, TB, and other devastating illnesses. These R&D capabilities have provided windows into pathogen mutation, host response and drug resistance for some of the country’s biggest health challenges.

The first thing that happened was the arrival of a gene-editing tool known as CRISPR in 2012.Many of you have probably heard about CRISPR so I'll just say briefly that CRISPR is a tool that allows researchers to edit genes very precisely, easily and quickly.It does this by harnessing a mechanism that already existed in bacteria.Basically, there's a protein that acts like a scissors and cuts the DNA,and there's an RNA molecule that directs the scissors to any point on the genome you want.The result is basically a word processor for genes.You can take an entire gene out, put one in,or even edit just a single letter within a gene.And you can do it in nearly any species.OK, remember how I said that gene drives originally had two problems? The first was that it was hard to engineer a mosquito to be malaria-resistant.That's basically gone now, thanks to CRISPR.But the other problem was logistical.How do you get your trait to spread? This is where it gets clever. A couple years ago, a biologist at Harvard named Kevin Esvelt wondered what would happen if you made it so that CRISPR inserted not only your new gene but also the machinery that does the cutting and pasting.In other words, what if CRISPR also copied and pasted itself. You'd end up with a perpetual motion machine for gene editing.And that's exactly what happened.This CRISPR gene drive that Esvelt created not only guarantees that a trait will get passed on,but if it's used in the germline cells,it will automatically copy and paste your new gene into both chromosomes of every single individual.It's like a global search and replace,or in science terms, it makes a heterozygous trait homozygous.So, what does this mean? For one thing, it means we have a very powerful, but also somewhat alarming new tool.Up until now, the fact that gene drives didn't work very well was actually kind of a relief. Normally when we mess around with an organism's genes,we make that thing less evolutionarily fit. So biologists can make all the mutant fruit flies they want without worrying about it. If some escape, natural selection just takes care of them.What's remarkable and powerful and frightening about gene drives is that that will no longer be true.Assuming that your trait does not have a big evolutionary handicap,like a mosquito that can't fly, the CRISPR-based gene drive will spread the change relentlessly until it is in every single individual in the population.Now, it isn't easy to make a gene drive that works that well, but James and Esvelt think that we can.The good news is that this opens the door to some remarkable things.If you put an anti-malarial gene drive in just 1 percent of Anopheles mosquitoes, the species that transmits malaria, researchers estimate that it would spread to the entire population in a year. So in a year, you could virtually eliminate malaria.In practice, we're still a few years out from being able to do that,but still, a 1,000 children a day die of malaria.In a year, that number could be almost zero.The same goes for dengue fever, chikungunya, yellow feve.And it gets better..Say you want to get rid of an invasive species, like get Asian carp out of the Great Lakes.All you have to do is release a gene drive-that makes the fish produce only male offspring.In a few generations, there'll be no females left, no more carp.In theory, this means we could restore hundreds of native speciesThat have been pushed to the brink.OK, that's the good new-this is the bad news.Gene drives are so effectivethat even an accidental release could change an entire species,and often very quickly. Anthony James took good precautions.He bred his mosquitos in a bio-containment and he also used a species that's not native to the US so that even if some did escape,they'd just die off, there'd be nothing for them to mate with.But it's also true that if a dozen Asian carp with the all-male gene drive accidentally got carried from the Great Lakes back to Asia, they could potentially wipe out the native Asian carp population.And that's not so unlikely, given how connected our world is.In fact, it's why we have an invasive species problem.And that's fish.Things like mosquitos and fruit flies,there's literally no way to contain them.They cross borders and oceans all the time.OK, the other piece of bad news is that a gene drive might not stay confined to what we call the target species.That's because of gene flow, which is a fancy way of saying that neighboring species sometimes interbreed. If that happens, it's possible a gene drive could cross over, like Asian carp could infect some other kind of carp.That's not so bad if your drive just promotes a trait, like eye color. In fact, there's a decent chance that we'll see a wave of very weird fruit flies in the near future.But it could be a disaster if your drive is deigned to eliminate the species entirely. The last worrisome thing is that the technology to do this, to genetically engineer an organism and include a gene drive is something that basically any lab in the world can do.An undergraduate can do it.A talented high schooler with some equipment can do it.Now, I'm guessing that this sounds terrifying.(Laughter)-Interestingly though, nearly every scientist I talk to seemed to think that gene drives were not actually that frightening or dangerous.Partly because they believe that scientists will be very cautious and responsible about using them.(Laughter)-So far, that's been true.But gene drives also have some actual limitations.So for one thing, they work only in sexually reproducing species.So thank goodness, they can't be used to engineer viruses or bacteria.Also, the trait spreads only with each successive generation.So changing or eliminating a population is practical only if that species has a fast reproductive cycle, like insects or maybe small vertebrates like mice or fish.In elephants or people, it would take centuries for a trait to spread widely enough to matter.Also, even with CRISPR, it's not that easy to engineer a truly devastating trait.Say you wanted to make a fruit fly that feeds on ordinary fruit instead of rotting fruit,with the aim of sabotaging American agriculture.First, you'd have to figure out which genes control what the fly wants to eat,which is already a very long and complicated project.Then you'd have to alter those genes to change the fly's behavior to whatever you'd want it to be, which is an even longer and more complicated project.And it might not even work,because the genes that control behavior are complex.So if you're a terrorist and have to choose between starting a grueling basic research program that will require years of meticulous lab work and still might not pan out, or just blowing stuff up? You'll probably choose the later.This is especially true because at least in theory, it should be pretty easy to build what's called a reversal drive.That's one that basically overwrites the change made by the first gene drive.So if you don't like the effects of a change, you can just release a second drive that will cancel it out, at least in theory. OK, so where does this leave us? We now have the ability to change entire species at will. Should we? Are we gods now? I'm not sure I'd say that.But I would say this: first, some very smart people are even now debating how to regulate gene drives.At the same time, some other very smart people are working hard to create safeguards, like gene drives that self-regulate or peter out after a few generations.That's great.But this technology still requires a conversation.And given the nature of gene drives,that conversation has to be global.What if Kenya wants to use a drive but Tanzania doesn't? Who decides whether to release a gene drive that can fly? I don't have the answer to that question. All we can do going forward, I think, is talk honestly about the risks and benefits and take responsibility for our choices.By that I mean, not just the choice to use a gene drive, but also the choice not to use one. Humans have a tendency to assume that the safest option is to preserve the status quo.But that's not always the case.Gene drives have risks, and those need to be discussed,but malaria exists now and kills 1,000 people a day.To combat it, we spray pesticides that do grave damage to other species including amphibians and birds.So when you hear about gene drives in the coming months,and trust me, you will be hearing about them, remember that. It can be frightening to act, but sometimes, not acting is worse.(Applause)
Eugenics is trending. That’s a problem.Any effort to slow population growth must center on reproductive justice-By Caitlin Fendley-Caitlin Fendley is a PhD candidate at Purdue University studying the history of medicine during twentieth-century America.February 17, 2020
The scientist Richard Dawkins sparked controversy when he tweeted that, aside from the moral problems, eugenics would work “in practice.” While that remark is shocking, Dawkins is hardly alone in accepting the premise at the heart of eugenic science and population-control theory. Last year, a group of 11,000 scientists signed a statement urging population control to slow human exploitation of Earth’s fragile resources. With climate change finally a topic of urgent debate, some have argued that limiting population growth — if not eugenics — could be part of saving the planet.The idea that people should reproduce less to preserve our shared resources is nothing new. It is an old idea with a violent history. When reformers have encouraged — or forced — women to have fewer children in the name of population control, it has been the most vulnerable people and those most likely to be deemed undesirable or unfit who have paid the price. While advocates for reproductive rights and green activists alike may call for support for greater individual bodily autonomy, they should be careful not to reinforce the dangerous, even eugenicist, forces behind encouraging population control, like those hinted at in Dawkins’s tweet.though the United States has not enacted an official, nationwide population policy, debates on population control have surfaced over the years across the political spectrum — involving leaders from President Richard M. Nixon to Vice President Al Gore. However, the dark underbelly of population control — from eugenics in the early 20th-century United States to mass murder during the Holocaust to compulsory sterilization in India in the 1970s and China’s one-child policy — has undermined serious conversation about global family planning or strategies to combat climate change, poverty and overpopulation by addressing population growth.The English statistician Francis Galton, Charles Darwin’s cousin, coined the term eugenics in 1883 after studying the heritable qualities of human intelligence and ability. The eugenics movement gained momentum in early 20th-century America as, among other things, a way to explain genius and good character as well as criminality, bad social behavior and “feeblemindedness.” Eugenicists sought to improve the human population and its gene pool through encouraging “fit” individuals to procreate (positive eugenics) and discouraging or preventing the reproduction of the “unfit” (negative eugenics). This led to the forced sterilization of thousands of Americans and, in the case of Nazi Germany, the justification for murdering millions of people.The population movement of the 20th century has shied from that legacy and focused on how family planning could be used to minimize damage to the environment and human life. Although these efforts have bolstered the cause of racist eugenics, they also had an active role in advancing women’s rights. Biologist and Zero Population Growth (ZPG) founder Paul Ehrlich attempted to educate Americans about the importance of having smaller families for the sake of the environment and human quality of life. Beginning in the late 1960s, ZPG expanded its activism, arguing that overpopulation contributed to virtually all of the world’s modern ills: traffic, pollution, overcrowding and poverty, among others. Yet, not coincidentally, Ehrlich’s work initially focused on poor cities in the global south, such as the Indian state of Delhi, as the problem and the real cause for panic — rather than the consumption rates of wealthy, majority-white countries with much higher populations and rates of consumption.The link between population control and the darker uses of eugenics was never eliminated, which led to inhumane solutions across the globe. The problem? Many population-control advocates focused on coercive population campaigns that targeted the most powerless people.In the 1970s, China’s one-child policy mandated contraceptive devices, abortion and sterilization for women who became pregnant with a second child. (There were exceptions, such as if the woman’s first child was a girl or born with a disability.) Although this policy ended a few years ago, it has resulted in persistent low fertility rates, a “profoundly skewed sex ratio” and, some researchers say, significantly higher crime rates in China.In India, a policy of forced sterilization during the 1970s also took the goal of curbing the population to the extreme, depriving citizens of the freedom and right to engage in voluntary family planning, mainly targeting poor men and some women. Even into the ’60s and ’70s, many poor women of color were subjected to forced sterilizations in the United States, often while seeking another type of surgery or after childbirth. Like eugenics, these compulsory initiatives sought to limit the reproductive rights of great numbers of men and women for the “health” of the nation.Even in the Zero Population Growth movement, anti-immigrant, pro-eugenics figures such as John Tanton found a platform for using concerns about population to advance racism, bigotry and nativism, as well as an “us” vs. “them” mentality. Tanton and others from the population movement helped pave the way for the anti-immigrant, nationalist rhetoric of the Trump administration.Such concerns about population fueled government-mandated solutions that undermined voluntary individual choice. Although some of ZPG’s members did advocate compulsory population policy, others said that giving women greater choice — through promoting reproductive rights and challenging the country’s deep-seated pronatalism — was the best, most humane solution to population growth. They may provide a blueprint for those worried about overpopulation today.As the largest grass-roots population movement in the United States, coercive and racialized approaches to population are a troubling part of the history of ZPG. But many of its earliest and youngest members did not support coercive measures to control the population. In fact, many believed strongly in sexual liberation and advancing women’s reproductive rights as part of their environmentalist goals. Here, providing education and resources was key.To address population growth, many grass-roots activists took the education of ordinary Americans into their own hands, distributing literature and leaflets, fighting legal battles alongside frustrated women who sought sterilization and being an active force in the abortion rights movement. They not only promoted birth control, but also held contests for free vasectomies and prescriptions for the pill. With catchy bumper sticker slogans such as “The Population Bomb Is Everyone’s Baby” and “Control Your Local Stork,” many members of ZPG emphasized the importance of population activism at local levels, highlighting the positive changes people could make for the world. Focusing on each person’s responsibility and action, in part, challenged the pessimistic, declensionist message of the modern environmentalist movement.For example, from 1971 to 1973, ZPG, along with the Association for Voluntary Sterilization (AVS) and the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), ran “Operation Lawsuit,” which provided resources and advice to men and women seeking voluntary permanent sterilization. ZPG members fought to give more Americans access to birth control, abortion, sterilization, pregnancy prevention and comprehensive sex education. In doing so, they maintained, parenthood would become more deliberate and voluntary and thus, fewer people would be born. But ZPG also advocated for wider changes to American cultural and social norms, which were largely pronatalist, pushing back against the idea that motherhood was the be-all and end-all of womanhood. Some labeled these norms “coercive pronatalism,” citing the problem of accidental teen pregnancy, attacks on abortion rights and the minimum-age requirements that hospitals placed on women who wanted to be sterilized. Addressing women’s inequalities, they said, would inevitably drive down population growth.Unfortunately, while these efforts helped advance the cause of women’s rights, they also distracted from the larger drivers of climate change, such as high fossil-fuel consumption. (In fact, much of the support for the population movement, including its racist, anti-immigrant leanings, has been funded by powerful and wealthy people and corporations profiting off the consumption of fossil-fuel energy.)Today, we are seeing a resurgence of individual efforts to address environmental problems. We should praise those who seek to tackle climate change by choosing to have fewer children, but we should also be careful not to reignite the darker forces behind population control or lose sight of the most harmful sources of environmental degradation. And, as history demonstrates, any efforts to curb the population must be voluntary. Rather than focusing on controlling global fertility rates, we need to support and protect policies, ideas and activism that foster greater reproductive choice, resources and education for everyone.Caitlin Fendley is a PhD candidate at Purdue University studying the history of medicine during twentieth-century America. Gates, Fauci, and Daszak charged with Genocide in Court Filing by Justus R. Hope, MD Dec 20, 2021 Updated Dec 27, 2021 In a stunning 46-page legal filing to the International Criminal Court on December 6, an intrepid attorney and seven applicants accused Anthony Fauci, Peter Daszak, Melinda Gates, William Gates III, and twelve others of numerous violations of the Nuremberg Code.

He is a power broker who has groomed many presidents, prime ministers, and tech CEOs who now view him with reverence and unswerving loyalty.Schwab, an economist, and technocrat has befriended many nations, most significantly China’s Xi Jinping, who delivered a key speech at Davos. He praised his vision of a New World Order. On January 25, 2021, Klaus Schwab vowed his support for Xi Jinping with these words, “Mr. President (Xi Jinping) I believe this is the best time to reset our policies and to work, jointly, for a peaceful and prosperous world. We all welcome now, his excellency, Xi Jinping, President of the People’s Republic of China.” See mark 2:26.Davos-https://youtu.be/fp0HXMlStBA-Many consider Schwab the mastermind behind the current movement towards cryptocurrency, universal identification, and a one-world (fascist) government to be run jointly, in totalitarian fashion, with China.https://conservapedia.com/Klaus_Schwab-Attorney Hannah Rose and seven applicants brought the Nuremberg action on behalf of the victims, the entire population of the United Kingdom. She filed the legal proceeding with the International Criminal Court located at The Hague. The Hague is notable for its long history in helping victims seek redress for war crimes and defining appropriate ethical guidelines for conduct during war.Following the Nazi atrocities committed during World War II, the war crime trials were held in Nuremberg, Germany. Following these, a set of principles was developed, which ultimately led to the development of the Nuremberg Code.These principles essentially meant that anyone, no matter how wealthy or powerful, even a head of state, was not above the law. The fact that the law of their home nation would permit their action would not relieve the person from justice under international law.In particular, the medical experiments conducted by the Nazi doctors led to strict rules and ethical principles regarding future human scientific trials, including the doctrine of necessary informed consent and freedom from coercion or threat in submitting to experimental drugs.As we all know, before receiving a surgical procedure, there is a legal and ethical requirement that the patient be apprised of any significant potential risks, including infection, bleeding, nerve damage, or even death. The patient usually signs the consent form following this explanation. And as we all know, whenever we receive prescription medication, we are notified of the potential risks on a package insert and usually a discussion with the Pharmacist.The vaccines should be no different, yet they are. A person about to receive the jab is rarely told that there are risks of blood clots, bleeding, cerebral thrombosis, myocarditis, and death, yet those risks exist.

Accordingly, any physician or research scientist found to have breached any of the ten principles of the Nuremberg Code would face criminal liability.https://docdro.id/WUjv6iw-She notes in Point 42, “The first principle of the Nuremberg Code is a willingness and informed consent by the person to receive treatment and participate in an experiment. The person is supposed to activate freedom of choice without the intervention, either through force, deceit, fraud, threat, solicitation, or any other type of binding or coercion.”https://docdro.id/WUjv6iw-In Point 43 she argues, “When the heads of the Ministry of Health as well as the Prime Minister presented the vaccine in the United Kingdom and began the vaccination of United Kingdom residents, the vaccinated were not advised, that in practice, they would be taking part in a medical experiment and that their consent is required under the Nuremberg Code. This as a matter of fact is a genetic medical experiment on human beings performed without informed consent under a severe and blatant offense of the Nuremberg Code.”In addition, Rose argues under Point 44 that there is an obligation for alternative treatments to be discussed, including the risks and benefits of such alternatives. She notes that these were never discussed despite the fact alternative treatments have been proven to be safe and effective “with up to a 100% success rate.”https://docdro.id/WUjv6iw-https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/indias-ivermectin-blackout-secret-revealed-A key principle of the Nuremberg Code requires that a scientist must be prepared to terminate the experiment at any stage, if he has probable cause to believe, in the exercise of the good faith, superior skill, and careful judgment required of him that a continuation of the experiment is likely to result in injury, disability, or death to the experimental subject.https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-nuremberg-code#permissible-medical-experiments-1In Point 46, she argues, “It is known that the mRNA ‘vaccination’ treatments have caused the death of many as well as injury and severe damage (including disablement and paralysis) after the ‘vaccine’ was administered. Despite this fact, the government did not instruct the initiation of an investigation into the matter. It is also questionable that given the experimental nature of these vaccinations, that there are not any full reports available of the numbers of dead or injured, as may be expected in such a medical process for the benefit of the public participating in the experiment.”https://docdro.id/WUjv6iw-The reader is reminded that Nazi physicians conducted experiments on human beings in concentration camps without informed consent, leading to horrific suffering and death. https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/nazi-medical-experiments-https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/holocaust/experiside.html-To dramatically underscore the relevance of Nuremberg to the horrific deaths we now see related to the experimental mRNA ‘vaccination’ program, Rose, in Point 34a, included a statement from a group of Holocaust survivors, those who experienced first-hand both the Nazi experiments and today the vaccine experiment. This is an excerpt from their unique perspective: We, the survivors of the atrocities committed against humanity during the Second World War, feel bound to follow our conscience…Another holocaust of greater magnitude is taking place before our eyes. We call upon you to stop this ungodly medical experiment on humankind immediately. It is a medical experiment to which the Nuremberg Code must be applied.https://docdro.id/WUjv6iw-Holocaust survivor Vera Sharav issued a statement in Points 34b and 34c:The stark lesson of the Holocaust is that whenever doctors join forces with government and deviate from their personal, professional, clinical commitment to do no harm to the individual, medicine can then be perverted from a healing, humanitarian profession to a murderous apparatus…What sets the Holocaust apart from all other mass genocides is the pivotal role played by the medical establishment, the entire medical establishment. Every step of the murderous process was endorsed by the academic, professional medical establishment.https://docdro.id/WUjv6iw-As a direct result of the Nuremberg World War II experience, the United Nations asked the International Law Commission to develop the Nuremberg Principles, the key standards to avoid the Nazi doctors' atrocities. Unfortunately, as Hannah Rose pointed out, many of these ten principles of the Nuremberg Code were systematically violated by the United Kingdom and many other countries during the COVID-19 pandemic.https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-nuremberg-code#permissible-medical-experiments-1-International Criminal Court-In addition, a permanent international criminal court was established for investigation and enforcement - known as The International Criminal Court. The ICC began full-time operations in 2002 and currently has 123 member nations that have explicitly agreed to be bound by the Rome Statutes. The United Kingdom is a member while the United States is not. However, under article 12(3) of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, even a state that is NOT a member may exercise jurisdiction "by declaration lodged with the Registrar," meaning that any nation may be subject to the ICC depending upon the circumstances, member nation or not. Keep in mind that Nazi Germany had not consented to jurisdiction.The ICC bills itself as a "court of last resort" meaning that claims should be decided in the perpetrator's home nation whenever possible. However, the core principle of impunity drives the ICC, the belief that no one who commits war crimes should enjoy freedom from criminal responsibility. Therefore, the ICC operates as an impartial and omnipotent arbiter of world human rights and will aggressively step in when it sees flagrant Nuremberg-type atrocities without consequence.That is precisely what Hannah Rose has identified in her legal brief in Point 2,"We have tried to raise this case through the English police and the English Court system without success, we have been unable even to get the case registered either with the police or with the court after several attempts...This is such a case which is why we are addressing the ICC directly."Attorney Rose relied partly upon the expertise of Dr. Michael Yeadon, a research-based PhD in respiratory pharmacology and former Vice President and Chief Scientist at Pfizer. https://rumble.com/vg4inv-michael-yeadon-full-interview-planet-lockdown.html-In the background section of the brief, she writes in Point 5:"The Covid-19 ‘vaccines’ do not meet the requirement to be categorized as vaccines and are in fact gene therapy (Appendix 8)...Dr. Mike Yeadon, a joint applicant on this request, asserts that claims calling the Covid-19 injections a 'vaccine' is public manipulation and misrepresentation of clinical treatment."It's not a vaccination. It's not prohibiting infection. It's not a prohibiting transmission device. It's a means by which your body is conscripted to make the toxin that then allegedly your body somehow gets used to dealing with it, but unlike a vaccine, which is to trigger the immune response, this is to trigger the creation of the toxin.' "MRNA uses the cell's machinery to synthesize proteins that are supposed to resemble the SPIKE protein of the virus, which is what it uses to enter cells via the ACE2 receptor. These proteins are then identified by the immune system, which builds antibodies against them. The real concern is that these proteins could accumulate in the body, especially in regions of high concentration of ACE2 receptors, such as the gonads. If the immune system then attacks the location where they accumulate, then you could be dealing with an auto-immune condition. "https://docdro.id/WUjv6iw-Dr. Yeadon mentions, in an interview, that our governments have grossly exaggerated the entire threat of COVID-19. He notes that COVID-19 represents a slightly greater risk than influenza if you are older than age 70 but a much lower risk than the seasonal flu if you are younger. See mark 31:00.https://rumble.com/vg4inv-michael-yeadon-full-interview-planet-lockdown.html"So it’s just absurd that you should be happy or willing to let your economy and civil society be smashed for something which represents for almost everyone working a lower risk than influenza - but that’s true," Yeadon said in the interview."Given this virus represents at worst a slightly bigger risk to the old and ill than does influenza, and a less risk than for almost everyone else who’s younger and fit, it was NEVER NECESSARY for us to have done anything."We didn't need to do anything, lockdowns, masks, mass testing, vaccines - there are multiple therapeutic drugs that are at least as effective as vaccines are...an off-patent drug called Ivermectin, one of the most widely used drugs in the world, is also able to reduce symptoms at any stage of the disease including lethality by about 90%. https://www.amazon.com/Ivermectin-Freedom-Justus-R-Hope-ebook/dp/B09M95F8NF-https://www.amazon.com/Ivermectin-World-Justus-R-Hope/dp/1737415909-https://covid19criticalcare.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/SUMMARY-OF-THE-EVIDENCE-BASE.pdf-"So you don't need vaccines and you don't need any of the measures that have been introduced at all," Yeadon concluded.

He explains that our immune system is easily able to deal with ALL mutations of SARS-CoV-2 and explains that 18 years after the first SARS, those people are still protected by their immunity - and this immunity even extends to immunity against SARS-CoV-2, a virus 80% similar but 20% different than the original SARS.Yeadon's major point is that if survivors of SARS some 18 years later have immunity against the new virus, which is 20% different, why would we believe that a current viral mutant only 0.3% different would be a threat? See mark 35:40.https://rumble.com/vg4inv-michael-yeadon-full-interview-planet-lockdown.html"So when your government scientists say that a variant that’s 0.3% different from SARS could masquerade as a new virus and be a threat to your health, you should know, and I'm telling you, THEY ARE LYING. If they're lying and they are, why is the pharmaceutical industry making top-up vaccines? They are making them," Yeadon said. See mark 35:55 https://rumble.com/vg4inv-michael-yeadon-full-interview-planet-lockdown.html"You should be terrified at this point. I am, because there is absolutely no possible justification for their manufacture. But they're being made, and the world's medicine regulators have said...we won't be asking them to do any clinical safety studies. Let me just say again, the variants are not different enough to represent a threat to you so you do not need top-up vaccines..., Yeadon said."The regulators have waved them through. I'm very frightened of that - there's no possible benign interpretation of this. I believe they are going to be used to damage your health and possibly kill you. Seriously. I can see no sensible interpretation other than a serious attempt at mass depopulation.This will provide the tools to do it and plausible deniability - because they will create another story about some sort of biological threat, you'll line up and get your top-up vaccines, and a few months or a year or so later, you'll die of some peculiar, inexplicable syndrome, and they won't be able to associate it with the top-up vaccines."

The WEF has as its goal the establishment of a New World Order, with the globe to be run by self-selected technocrats like Bill Gates, himself, and other members of Davos.In 1971 Schwab founded what was to become the WEF in 1987. It has 1,000 members. In general, qualification requires a business to have more than 5 billion dollars per year in revenue. The theme of WEF and Klaus Schwab has recently been "The Great Reset," which essentially means a new world order. In the following video, Klaus Schwab can be heard discussing this with Henry Kissinger. We hear Dr. Kissinger praising China’s Xi Jinping's speech and the formation of a new international order. See mark 2:50 to 4:00.https://youtu.be/Apjzjsa8AIg-Schwab himself sums up the 2017 Davos Meeting with the following statement, "What a wonderful opportunity to conclude our week here with such concrete proposals and ideas of how we can really create a New World Order." See mark 26:40.https://youtu.be/Apjzjsa8AIg-Professor Andreas Oehler aptly describes the agenda of Schwab and the WEF, "The World Economic Forum seems to be the driver behind and organizer of the global population control operations, be it pandemics, biometric IDs, Great Reset, or public-private partnerships in name of the "common good" (fascist corporatism)." See the following article, "The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse identified, along with the Apocalypse itself."https://live2fightanotherday.substack.com/Professor Oehler of the University of Bamberg is widely published in credit, banking, finance, and investor protection. He believes that Klaus Schwab and his WEF members, including Bill Gates, planned the COVID-19 pandemic by sponsoring Event 201, a coronavirus pandemic simulation exercise held in New York City on October 18, 2019. WEF has been a proponent of digital biometric identity systems to make societies "more efficient and productive" (and easier to control).https://www.centerforhealthsecurity.org/event201/Oehler wrote, "WEF collaborates with the ID2020 alliance, funded by the Gates and Rockefeller foundations to run a program to 'provide digital ID with vaccines.' In particular, ID2020 sees the vaccination of children as 'an entry point for digital identity.' In reality, this means that anything a person does or is allowed to do (employment, travel, commerce, health care...) will be linked to the person's digital ID. This will remove any privacy and take total control over each and every activity of any individual on earth."https://live2fightanotherday.substack.com/For readers who may doubt this, read Klaus Schwab's book, The Great Reset. One of his chief goals is to have perfect monitoring ability of every human being and to be able to regulate all behavior, even to the point of complete totalitarian control.https://www.amazon.com/COVID-19-Great-Reset-Klaus-Schwab/dp/2940631123-The WEF sees times of great turmoil or catastrophes as ideal opportunities to implement this reset, such as during the financial crisis of 2008, and now the COVID-19 pandemic, which Dr. Reiner Fuellmich feels created a perfect opportunity for the WEF to execute its plan. Fuellmich, a world-renowned trial attorney, refers to Schwab and his henchmen collectively as “Mr. Global.”"Klaus Schwab spells this out in his book, The Great Reset, and demands… a World Government under the UN, which has been brought under control by the WEF. This is to be achieved by creating as much worldwide chaos as possible in the form of pandemics, wars including civil wars and natural disasters so that the world population becomes convinced that the national governments are overwhelmed, and only a world government can help. At the same time, Schwab calls for the shifting of all wealth to Mr. Global so that in 2030, no one, except Mr. Global, will still own anything, and we will supposedly be happy with that. Cash is to be abolished and replaced by a digital currency. This will be allocated to or taken away from every person in the world who can then also be found anywhere and at any time by various tracking systems. This is to be done by a single central world bank." See mark 32:45 to 33:56.https://odysee.com/@Corona-Investigative-Committee:5/Reiner-Fuellmich-Introduction-English_BestCut:e-Fuellmich and Oehler both describe a series of puppets that the WEF has trained to help carry out these missions under the WEF "Young Global Leader" program, which started in 1993. Such people have gone on to become Presidents, Prime Ministers, and CEOs. These include some of the key players in this pandemic and vaccination effort: Microsoft founder Bill Gates (1993)- California Governor Gavin Newsom (selected in 2005)-Pete Buttigieg (selected in 2019, candidate for US President in 2020, US secretary of transportation since 2021)- Stéphane Bancel (Moderna CEO; selected in 2009)- Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg (2009- Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg (2007)- Google co-founders Sergey Brin and Larry Page (2002/2005)-Covid Twitter personality Eric Feigl-Ding (a ‘WEF Global Shaper‘ since 2013)-New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern (since 2017, selected in 2014)- Australian Health Minister Greg Hunt (selected in 2003; former WEF strategy director)- Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland (selected in 2001; former managing director of Reuters)- Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is a WEF participant but is not a confirmed Young Global Leader German Chancellor Angela Merkel (selected in 1993, 12 years before becoming Chancellor)- Current German Health Minister Jens Spahn and former Health Ministers Philipp Roesler and Daniel Bahr- EU Commission Presidents Jose Manuel Barroso (2004-2014, selected in 1993) and Jean-Claude Juncker (2014-2019, selected in 1995)- French President Emanuel Macron (since 2017, selected in 2016), Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy (2007-2012, selected in 1993), Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz-Former Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi (2014-2016, selected in 2012), Former Spanish Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar (1996-2004, selected in 1993) Dr. Rajiv Shah, President of the Rockefeller Foundation-https://live2fightanotherday.substack.com/ When we notice the harsh authoritarian and mandatory lockdowns of Australia, Austria, and Canada, perhaps it begins to make better sense when we factor in the names of those in the WEF Young Global Leadership program. See mark 34:25 to 34:58.https://odysee.com/@Corona-Investigative-Committee:5/Reiner-Fuellmich-Introduction-English_BestCut:e-Now, against our seemingly hopeless situation, Reiner Fuellmich gives us all every reason to be optimistic:"Against this background, which increasingly more people are recognizing, very large legal disputes have been set in motion in India, South Africa, the US, Canada, and France. Their goal is to hold those responsible accountable under both civil and criminal law. This also includes that the assets that have been taken away by Mr. Global from the world's population...are returned...In particular, Anglo-American Law with its powerful tools of class action, pre-trial discovery, punitive damages...provides the tools for very effective justice." See mark 35:00.https://odysee.com/@Corona-Investigative-Committee:5/Reiner-Fuellmich-Introduction-English_BestCut:e-Reiner mentions that he has developed very good evidence that the PCR test was fraudulently used to grossly exaggerate the number of true COVID cases and the courts in Portugal, Austria and Germany, have set excellent precedents in their rulings to that effect.Fuellmich concludes, "The Berlin Corona Committee already now has extremely incriminating evidence proving that this Corona ‘plandemic’ NEVER had anything to do with health; rather Mr. Global’s actions are aimed solely at these goals: #1. Destruction of regional economies to make the population dependent on Mr. Global's global supply chains. #2. Shifting the wealth of the world's populations from the bottom to the top - to the super-rich - to Mr. Global. #3. Population reduction - you can call it genocide. #4. The installation of a World Government under the UN which is now under the control of the WEF." See mark 36:13 to 36:56. https://odysee.com/@Corona-Investigative-Committee:5/Reiner-Fuellmich-Introduction-English_BestCut:e-He reminds us that we are dealing with megalomaniacs and sociopaths, those who lack a conscience. Fuellmich reminds us that while the mainstream media may censor, hundreds of thousands of people hear the message anyway; they are taking to the streets in protest in England, Germany, Australia, Brazil, etc. Civil servants, medical doctors, lawyers, politicians, nurses, and police officers are refusing the jab. Key elements include those of compassion and spirituality, as this has indeed become an epic struggle between right versus wrong. Reiner tells the story of a doctor who walked into a bank and was accosted by a person afraid because he was not wearing a mask. He hugged the individual who began to weep because they had not been held in more than a year. Fuellmich reminds us that we can all laugh, cry, and feel while they (the sociopaths) cannot.Attorney Rose, now a heroic icon, asked the ICC to take immediate action by way of legal injunction in Points 128 and 153: It is of the utmost urgency, that ICC take immediate action, taking all of this into account, to stop the rollout of covid vaccinations, introduction of unlawful vaccination passports and all other types of illegal warfare mentioned herein currently being waged against the people of the United Kingdom by way of a court injunction.https://docdro.id/WUjv6iw-In closing, Reiner Fuellmich asked us to remember spirituality. We must celebrate our humanity. Like those in the Nazi concentration camps, who remembered to sing and praise God in the face of the most extreme adversity, we too must cling to our roots in religion and love for one another. Fuellmich is confident that we will prevail. See mark 38:40.https://odysee.com/@Corona-Investigative-Committee:5/Reiner-Fuellmich-Introduction-English_BestCut:e-That’s what this is all about, humanity versus inhumanity. We are human. We can laugh, cry, sing, dance and hug. The other side, Mr. Global and his puppets can’t do that. They can only fake feelings and have no empathy at all. This is because the other side has no access to the spiritual side. The US Constitution starts with the words, ‘We the People.’ And when the wall came down between East and West Berlin, 33 years ago, it was the East German people chanting – We the people – that brought it down. Mr. Global’s house of cards will come crashing down the very same way. Without a doubt in my mind, Mr. Global and his puppets will lose this war of good against evil – they will lose their insane war against life and creation itself. There is no other way.After hearing him speak, I am confident as well. Dr. Pierre Kory once told me, "This situation seems backward. The doctors were the corrupt people who caused this mess, but the lawyers are those with ethics who will save us."Pierre Kory, as usual, is correct. Someday, today's youth will become senior citizens. They will remind their society of today’s Nuremberg II trials, and how they helped stop the largest con job ever perpetrated on the world. It is time to end the lockdowns, the vaccination mandates, the censorship, and the propaganda.The media will resume reporting real news and cease fear-mongering. Then, journalists will return to what they do best – proper investigative reporting. And the International Criminal Court will most assuredly continue what it does best – bringing cold-blooded mass murderers to justice.https://famous-trials.com/nuremberg/1903-doctortrial-Here is a change.org petition on the article. https://www.change.org/p/international-criminal-court-in-hague-office-of-the-prosecutor-covid-crimes-against-humanity-case-against-gates-fauci-tedros-schwab-others-Dr. Justus R.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell says he's 'disgusted' with 2 banks he claims are cutting ties with him over 'cancel culture' after his phone records were subpoenaed by the January 6 committee-Cheryl Teh and Jake Lahut-Jan 17, 2022, 1:34 AM
Mike Lindell, the founder and CEO of MyPillow, told Insider on Friday that he's been told by two financial institutions to "leave their bank."Lindell said Minnesota Bank & Trust and Heartland Financial USA told him they no longer wanted to do business with him. Lindell is one of the most vocal supporters of former President Donald Trump; he recently told Insider he's spent $25 million pushing Trump's baseless voter-fraud claims.Earlier this month, the January 6 House select committee subpoenaed the pillow CEO's phone records over his ties to the former president.According to Lindell, this raised concerns at Minnesota Bank & Trust. "But what if somebody came in and said, 'You know what? We're going to subpoena all of his account records and this and that,' and we make the news?" a man whom Lindell identified as Tom Cardle, a senior vice president at Minnesota Bank & Trust, said in recordings obtained by Insider.Cardle also referred to the bank's continued relationship with Lindell as a "reputation risk." Cardle didn't respond to Insider's multiple requests for comment on whether he was in the recordings. But Insider independently verified that the phone number was linked to an office line associated with Cardle."What happens with accounts is between bankers and their clients. Decisions about bank accounts will be left to the account holders," a Minnesota Bank & Trust representative told Insider when reached for comment on Friday. "These guys have an agenda. There's something wrong, or they would have done something before," Lindell told Insider on Friday, responding to the call. "They would have done something last year or a year ago. Like on January 9, when I was at the White House, running around with papers from a lawyer that said 'martial law,' they would have done this."Lindell was actually photographed at the White House carrying notes about martial law on January 15. "Why did they wait until now?" he continued. "There's something behind this, and we can't let everyone get debanked in our country."Lindell added that he thought the banks wanting to terminate their relationship with him was about the First Amendment, floating a theory that "somebody got to them."The banks "never had a problem with the cyber symposium. They didn't have a problem last year when all the box stores canceled me," Lindell said, referring to his 72-hour cyber symposium in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and Costco and other retailers pulling MyPillow products from their shelves. "Isn't this weird? You know, give me a break. These guys are disgusting."The pillow executive said he does not intend to comply with the bank's entreaties to close the accounts."I'm not closing my accounts. They're going to have to throw me out," Lindell told Insider, adding that he thought the banks were taking these actions because of "cancel culture."
Exclusive: Eric Trump and Kimberly Guilfoyle's phone records subpoenaed by January 6 committee-By Jamie Gangel, Jeremy Herb and Elizabeth Stuart, CNN (PEDOPHILE-GAY-PERVERTED NETWORK)-Updated 7:48 PM ET, Tue January 18, 2022
Washington (CNN)The House committee investigating the January 6 attack on the US Capitol has subpoenaed and obtained records of phone numbers associated with one of former President Donald Trump's children, Eric Trump, as well as Kimberly Guilfoyle, who is engaged to Donald Trump Jr., sources tell CNN.It appears to be the first time the select committee has issued a subpoena that targeted a member of the Trump family, in what marks a significant escalation of the investigation into Trump's role in the January 6 insurrection. The decision to subpoena communication records involving the Trump family underscores the aggressive tack the committee is taking as it races to complete its investigation while battling Trump in court over access to documents from his administration.The phone records obtained by the committee are part of a new round of call detail records subpoenaed from communication companies, multiple sources tell CNN. These records provide the committee with logs that show incoming and outgoing calls, including the date, time and length of calls. The records also show a log of text messages, but not the substance or content of the messages.Still, the information can be a critical investigative tool for the committee in piecing together a road map of who was communicating before, during and after January 6.Both Eric Trump and Guilfoyle played prominent roles in Trump's "Stop the Steal" efforts, including Guilfoyle fundraising off the lie that the election was stolen. Both spoke at the January 6 rally on the Ellipse that preceded the attack on the Capitol.The records may also help the committee flesh out the text messages and phone records it has received from others, like former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, as well as fundraisers and rally organizers.CNN reported last month that the committee had already subpoenaed the phone records of more than 100 people as part of its investigation.In some cases, communication companies have notified the targets of subpoenas from the select committee, which led to several lawsuits to try to prevent panel from obtaining the call detail records.The newly obtained records include the cell phone number used by Eric Trump, according to sources familiar with the number. The cell phone number for Guilfoyle was confirmed by sources familiar with her number and her text messages. The committee previously identified this number as Guilfoyle's number in text message exchanges with other witnesses.There is no indication the committee has directly subpoenaed either Eric Trump or Guilfoyle for interviews or documents. Nor is there any evidence that the committee has subpoenaed communication records related to Trump's other children, Ivanka Trump or Donald Trump Jr., or his son-in-law Jared Kushner.The committee did release text messages that Donald Trump Jr. sent to Meadows as the January 6 attack was unfolding, which Meadows voluntarily provided to the committee before he stopped cooperating.Reached by CNN on Tuesday afternoon, the committee declined to comment on the new Trump and Guilfoyle subpoenas.But in an interview with CNN's Don Lemon on Monday night, select committee member Zoe Lofgren, a California Democrat, said, "We're piecing together information from the President's inner circle and others who were in a position to see and hear what the plot was leading up to the riot."Lofgren declined to say whether the committee had received information from the Trump family, while adding, "nothing is off the table."According to a source familiar with Eric Trump's thinking about the subpoena of his call records, "He's not losing any sleep over it."An attorney for Guilfoyle said she had not been notified of any subpoena being issued for her records. The attorney, Joseph Tacopina, said the subpoena is "of no consequence to her because she has absolutely nothing to hide or be concerned about."Trump, Guilfoyle roles in 'Stop the Steal'The committee is interested in Eric Trump due to his involvement with the events of January 6, including efforts related to "Stop the Steal," according to a source familiar with the investigation. Eric Trump spoke at the January 6 rally at the Ellipse, quoting his father's tweet calling rally participants "patriots" and questioning the legitimacy of President Joe Biden's win."I've got a question for you. Is there any person here that actually thinks that Joe Biden won this election?" Eric Trump asked at the rally. "I don't either, guys, I don't either."Guilfoyle, who was involved in raising money for the Trump campaign and the January 6 rally, also spoke at the Ellipse. "Look at all of us out here, God-loving, freedom-loving, liberty-loving patriots, that will not let them steal this election," Guilfoyle said. "We will not allow the liberals and the Democrats to steal our dream or steal our elections."he committee has identified Guilfoyle's number in text message exchanges with other witnesses, according to two sources. In November, ProPublica first reported that Guilfoyle bragged over text messages about raising millions for the January 6 rally.Guilfoyle's attorney denied to ProPublica that the texts were related to the January 6 rally or that Guilfoyle was involved with fundraising or approving speakers.Trump has amassed a war chest of more than $100 million in the months after he left the White House, raising tens of millions of dollars while spreading his lies about the 2020 election being stolen.The batch of texts the committee released last month included one exchange between Donald Trump Jr. and Meadows as the January 6 attack was unfolding. Trump Jr. wrote to Meadows, "He's got to condemn this sh*t ASAP. The Capitol Police tweet is not enough.""I'm pushing it hard. I agree," Meadows responded.The content of those texts was revealed in December by Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, the panel's top Republican, during the House vote to hold Meadows in contempt. Cheney said that Trump Jr. texted "again and again," including texting Meadows, "We need an Oval office address. He has to lead now. It has gone too far and gotten out of hand."Cheney has said that the committee has "firsthand testimony" that Ivanka Trump went to the Oval Office on "at least two occasions" to try to get her father to say something to stop the attack on the Capitol.Clarification: This story has been updated to clarify the committee's interest in Kimberly Guilfoyle and Eric Trump.CNN's Kara Scannell and Christie Johnson contributed to this report.

Hospital releases preliminary data, without specific figures-Israeli trial, world’s first, finds 4th dose ‘not good enough’ against Omicron-Expert at Sheba Medical Center says jab raises COVID antibody levels, but there are ‘still a lot of infections’ among those who received it-By TOI staff-jan 17,22-Today, 7:40 pm
Nearly a month after Sheba Medical Center launched a landmark study to test the efficacy of a fourth COVID shot, the hospital said Monday that this fourth booster was only partially effective in protecting against the Omicron strain.“The vaccine, which was very effective against the previous strains, is less effective against the Omicron strain,” Prof. Gili Regev-Yochay, a lead researcher in the experiment said.“We see an increase in antibodies, higher than after the third dose,” Regev-Yochay said. “However, we see many infected with Omicron who received the fourth dose. Granted, a bit less than in the control group, but still a lot of infections,” she added.“The bottom line is that the vaccine is excellent against the Alpha and Delta [variants], for Omicron it’s not good enough,” she said.Regev-Yochay added that it is still probably a good idea to give a fourth shot to those at higher risk, but intimated that perhaps the current campaign, which also offers the jab to the over-60s, should be amended to only include even older groups. She did not elaborate.The hospital did not release more specific data. Regev-Yochay said the results of the research are only preliminary, but indicated that she was providing the initial information since there was high public interest in the matter.Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has pushed ahead with expanding Israel’s fourth dose program, despite the lack of data.As of Sunday night, over 500,000 Israelis have been inoculated with a fourth dose. The Health Ministry began offering fourth vaccine shots to Israelis 60 and older, the immunocompromised, and medical workers last month.Sheba’s trial program, which began in December with 150 medical staff being given the shot, is many times smaller than normal drug trials, which usually involve thousands of volunteers who results are tracked for months. But it is also the only known study of the effects of a fourth dose.Israel is pinning hopes that the extra booster may help keep the Omicron variant from overwhelming hospitals and shutting down normal life.The study, the first of its kind in the world, is being carried out in conjunction with the Health Ministry, and has been approved by the government’s senior panel on human medical trials.The World Health Organization has urged countries to delay booster programs until the whole world has access to initial vaccine doses.Around two-thirds of Israel’s population of nearly 9.5 million have received at least one dose of the vaccine, and nearly 4.4 million Israelis have received three doses, according to the latest Health Ministry figures.
Committee advances plans for new Jerusalem homes beyond Green Line-Proposed neighborhood of Lower Aqueduct would include 1,465 units, with around half of the area in East Jerusalem-By Aaron Boxerman-jan 17,22-Today, 9:09 pm
The Jerusalem District Planning and Building Committee advanced a 1,465-unit plan for a new neighborhood in the capital, half of which would be in the contested area over the 1967 ceasefire line.The new neighborhood — known as the Lower Aqueduct — has been planned for the land between the Jewish neighborhoods of Givat Hamatos and Har Homa, both of which are located beyond the Green Line. About half of the planned construction would be in the Mateh Yehudah Regional Council inside Israel; the rest would be in municipal East Jerusalem.Following the committee’s approval, the Lower Aqueduct plan advanced to the “deposit” stage, meaning that it only needs one more approval before ground can be broken on the construction.Israel captured East Jerusalem from Jordan in 1967. In 1980, the Israeli government passed a law annexing the area, an act not recognized by most of the international community.Left-wing Israeli groups and Palestinians oppose Israeli construction in East Jerusalem, which they hope will one day become the capital of a Palestinian state. Right-wing Israelis, who largely oppose full Palestinian statehood, support an undivided Jerusalem as the capital of IsraelAccording to Peace Now, the planned units would “prevent territorial contiguity between East Jerusalem Palestinian neighborhoods and Bethlehem.”“This is another way in which Israel is erasing the Green Line in Jerusalem, ending Palestinian contiguity, and expropriating the lands of Palestinians. When Palestinians tried to plan construction there, it was rejected — and now the territory will be confiscated,” said Aviv Tatarsky, a researcher at the left-wing Ir Amim nonprofit.The Jerusalem municipality did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Israeli construction over the Green Line in East Jerusalem is controversial, even among Israel’s allies in Washington. After a plan to build a new neighborhood for ultra-Orthodox Jews near the Atarot Industrial Zone was announced in December, American lawmakers and government officials responded vehemently.The Times of Israel reported at the time that United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed the administration’s firm opposition to the planned 9,000-unit project in an “intense” call with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett. The Jerusalem District Committee subsequently delayed the plan, citing technical inadequacies.
Fox News-'Corrupt' FBI should be 'eliminated' for statement on Texas synagogue hostage taker: Critics-Emma Colton-Sun, January 16, 2022, 11:20 AM
The FBI is facing backlash on social media after an official said that the Texas synagogue hostage taker’s demands were "not specifically related to the Jewish community.""The FBI is now an organization solely focused on destroying the domestic enemies of the Democratic Party," conservative talk radio show Jesse Kelly tweeted Sunday morning. "Any Republican Congress or Presidential candidate who doesn’t loudly proclaim his intention to massively reform or disband this organization should not be considered."TEXAS HOSTAGE SITUATION: ALL HOSTAGES 'ALIVE AND SAFE,' GREG ABBOTT TWEETS AFTER HOURS-LONG ORDEAL-Kelly’s tweet came in response to the Associated Press reporting that FBI officials said "the Texas synagogue hostage taker's demands were specifically focused on issues not connected to the Jewish community.""We do believe from our engaging with this subject that he was singularly focused on one issue, and it was not specifically related to the Jewish community. But we're continuing to work to find motive," FBI Special Agent in Charge Matt DeSarno said at a press conferenceThe hostage taker, who has been identified as British national Malik Faisal Akram, took four hostages at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, near Fort Worth on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath.TEXAS SYNAGOGUE ACCUSED HOSTAGE TAKER WAS BRITISH NATIONAL-He allegedly demanded the release of a Pakistani woman who is imprisoned in Texas on charges of trying to kill American service members in Afghanistan.The FBI and Justice Department previously described the woman, Aafia Siddiqui, as an "al-Qaida operative and facilitator" at a May 2004 news conference. She is serving an 86-year prison sentence after being convicted in 2010 on charges that she sought to shoot U.S. military members while in Afghanistan two year earlier.TEXAS OFFICIALS REACT TO NEWS OF HOSTAGE SITUATION IN COLLEYVILLE SYNAGOGUE-She has a history of anti-Semitism, including demanding that jurors in her case be DNA tested and removed "if they have a Zionist or Israeli background."The suspected hostage taker died at the scene. The hostages were released without injury.The FBI was ripped on social media for the statement that the hostage taker had no direct demands related to the Jewish community, including calling for the FBI to be "defunded and eliminated."The Department of Justice did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment on the criticisms.Fox News' Danielle Wallace contributed to this report.

Good Morning America-North Korea launches 4th missile test in 2 weeks-Mon, January 17, 2022, 7:13 AM
North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles toward the East Sea Monday morning, its fourth test in less than a month.“South Korea’s military detected two projectiles believed to be short-range ballistic missiles launched into the East Sea to the northeast from the Sunan Airfield in Pyongyang, North Korea, around 08:50 a.m. and 08:54 a.m.,” South Korea’s joint chiefs of staff told reporters Monday.The missiles traveled about 236 miles and reached an altitude of about 26 miles, said South Korea’s military, which was analyzing details of the launch.It was the fourth missile launch this year, following two self-claimed hypersonic missile tests on Jan. 5 and Jan. 11 and last Friday’s short-range ballistic missile that the secluded regime’s state news agency, KCNA, claimed was launched from a rail car.Pyongyang’s consecutive showcases of its military capabilities came as the United States discussed sanctions on North Korea’s nuclear program.“North Korea probably believes they pulled out a response from the U.S. by firing hypersonic missiles in the new year because the U.S. acted with new sanctions,” Moon Keun-sik, a military expert at the Korea Defense and Security Forum, told ABC News. “North Korea claims that ballistic missile test-launch is a part of the training, but it also acknowledges that their action is a UN violation.”North Korea has said its weapons development is a rightful act of self-defense. The country blames the U.S. for escalated tensions.“The DPRK's recent development of new-type weapon was just part of its efforts for modernizing its national defense capability. Nevertheless, the U.S. is intentionally escalating the situation even with the activation of independent sanctions, not content with referring the DPRK's just activity to the UN Security Council,” KCNA said on Friday, citing North Korea’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson.North Korea expressed open discontent about the sanctions imposed last Wednesday on North Korean individuals and entities who support the country's ballistic-missile program.“We could say that the situation has escalated as the United States took out the sanctions card in response to North Korea's recent missile test launch,” Kim Yong-hyun, professor of North Korean studies at Seoul-based Dongguk University, told ABC News. “Through missile experiments, Kim Jong Un intends to highlight North Korea’s presence while the United States is mainly taking care of Ukraine issues, and at the same time maintain solidarity among their people.”Some experts saw the recent tests as planned drills on North Korea’s side. Kim Jong Un announced at the 8th Party Congress in January 2021 that the country planned to strengthen its weapon systems, including hypersonic missiles.“Pyongyang’s missile tests will take rounds and rounds for the next three years, not mainly intended to send a political message, which is only part of the motivation,” Bong Young-shik of Yonsei University told ABC News. “It would be a mistaken belief to think that the North Korea military can be bought out with massive immediate concessions because North Korea is moving on its own schedule by military capability.”Analysts in South Korea agreed that North Korea was following its own schedule to ramp up military capabilities in a time when there's a slim chance of negotiating with other countries in person.“North Korea is in the direction of enhancing the technical completeness of their missile program and knocking on the United States, trying to persuade them they should reach out to North Korea in any way,” Kim told ABC News.It isn’t the first time North Korea has scaled up in its weapons experiments. Back in 2019, North Korea fired over 20 short-range ballistic missiles between May and November.ABC News' Chae Young Oh contributed to this report.
The Hill-US calls on North Korea to halt 'unlawful and destabilizing' missile launchesMon, January 17, 2022, 11:58 AM
The U.S. envoy focused on North Korea called at least two ballistic missile launches by North Korea Monday "unlawful and destabilizing activities" and pushed for the nuclear-armed nation to engage in dialogue.Sung Kim, the U.S. Special Representative for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), the official name of North Korea, made his remarks in a trilateral call with officials in South Korea, formally the Republic of Korea (ROK), and Japan.North Korea's missile launches on Monday came on top of two other launches, on Jan. 10 and Jan. 5, with which Pyongyang reportedly tested advanced hypersonic missiles.South Korea's military reportedly said the missile launches are an attempt by Pyongyang to demonstrate its military might amid stalled diplomacy with the U.S. and pandemic border closures.Kim, the U.S. ambassador to Indonesia who was appointed as special envoy for North Korea in May, expressed "concern about the DPRK's missile launches, which violated multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions and were the latest in a series of ballistic missile launches by the DPRK this month," State Department spokesperson Ned Price said in a statement.Kim further reiterated to South Korean and Japanese officials "the U.S. commitment to the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, as well as its ironclad commitment to the defense of its allies."Kim had spoken with officials in South Korea and Japan on Jan. 11, according to a State Department readout of the call. It was "the latest in a number of calls made between the three since January 5," according to the readout.Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday spoke with South Korea's Foreign Minister Chung Eui-yong and stressed the U.S.'s commitment to the defense of Seoul "remains ironclad."Blinken, in an interview with NPR on Friday, called North Korea's missile tests "profoundly destabilizing."The Treasury Department last week issued sanctions on five North Korean officials residing in Russia and China for aiding North Korea's ballistic missile program in response to at least six missile launches that occurred between September and Jan. 10.North Korea has rejected offers by the Biden administration to host bilateral talks without preconditions, with Pyongyang saying that it wants Washington to address its "hostile activity" before it engages in any talks, a broad term likely to refer to sanctions imposed by the U.S. as well as military coordination it has with South Korea.
Reuters-US senators promise solidarity and weapons for Ukraine in warning to Putin-Mon, January 17, 2022, 3:28 PM
KYIV (Reuters) - A bipartisan group of United States senators promised solidarity and weapons on a visit to Kyiv on Monday while warning Russian President Vladimir Putin against launching a new military offensive against Ukraine. Kyiv and its Western allies have sounded the alarm after Russia massed tens of thousands of troops near Ukraine's borders and pressed the United States for security guarantees, including a block on Ukraine joining the NATO alliance. Russia denies planning a new military offensive. The United States has been Ukraine's most powerful backer in its standoff with Moscow after Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the outbreak of the war in eastern Ukraine. "I think Vladimir Putin has made the biggest mistake of his career in underestimating how courageously the people of Ukraine will fight him if he invades," Senator Richard Blumenthal told reporters. "And we will impose crippling economic sanctions, but more important we will give the people of Ukraine the arms, lethal arms they need to defend their lives and livelihoods," he said after the delegation met President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. These weapons could include Javelin anti-tank missiles, Stinger missiles, small arms and boats, he said. "And so our message is: there will be consequences if he chooses to violate the sanctity of this democracy," Senator Amy Klobuchar added.

Disbelief in English town after local man takes hostages at Texas synagogue-Activist says Blackburn’s Muslim community is shocked by Malik Faisal Akram’s ‘unacceptable’ attack on Jewish house of worship 7,400 km away, questions why he was allowed to fly-By Paul Barker-jan 17,22Today, 10:13 pm
BLACKBURN, England (AFP) — Community leaders in Blackburn, northwest England, on Monday voiced their shock after a local man took four people hostage more than 4,500 miles (7,400 kilometers) away at a Texas synagogue.Malik Faisal Akram, 44, died after a 10-hour siege in the small town of Colleyville on Saturday. All four hostages escaped unharmed. US President Joe Biden called it an “act of terror.”Britain has promised its “full support” to US investigators. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s spokesman described the drama as a “terrible and antisemitic act of terrorism.”Counterterrorism police arrested two teenagers in Manchester, 21 miles (34 kilometers) from Blackburn, on Sunday.In Blackburn, a run-down former mill town where 28 percent of the population identify as Asian or British Asian, activist Asif Mahmud said the close-knit local Muslim community was shocked.Mahmud, 50, told AFP that Akram came from a “well-known and well-respected family,” and that he last saw him at his brother’s funeral about three months ago.He called the hostage-taking “unacceptable,” echoing similar condemnation from the Muslim Council of Britain, a national umbrella body of Islamic groups.But, he said, “questions have to be asked” about how Akram managed to get to the United States in the first place.Akram’s family have said he had mental health problems, while Mahmud said it was “well-known” that he had a criminal record.“How is it he got through immigration?” he asked.“There’s possible failing in the intelligence services. But obviously the investigation process will establish the ins and outs of why and what happened.”A man who identified himself as Akram’s brother, Gulbar, posted on Facebook that the family did not condone his actions, and apologized to everyone involved.“I’ve got friends… who are in touch with the family, and they’re obviously distraught trying to come to terms with what’s happened,” said Mahmud.“They’ve lost a son and they’ve lost a brother. They’re just struggling to understand what’s happened here.”The Muslim community of Blackburn was “in solidarity with the Jewish community, and our sympathy goes out to the hostages and the rest of the Jewish community.”“People should be allowed to live freely without fear of violence or terror,” he said.Biden declined to speculate on the motive for the hostage-taking, but indicated that Akram had been seeking the release of Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani neuroscientist known as “Lady Al-Qaeda.”Detained in Afghanistan in 2008, she is serving an 86-year sentence for the attempted murder of US officers in the country, and held at a prison in Fort Worth, Texas, 20 miles from the Beth Israel synagogue Akram attacked.Her detention has become a cause celebre for global jihadists.
Interview-Says he refused to kneel: 'I was not going to die that way' Hostage: Attacker chose synagogue, thinking Jews powerful enough to free ‘sister’ Jeff Cohen recounts emotional moment he phoned family for what he thought would be last time; urges Jewish communities to take active shooter course, which helped save their lives-By Jacob Magid-18 January 2022, 1:14 am
COLLEYVILLE, Texas — Malik Faisal Akram chose to hold synagogue worshipers hostage in Colleyville, Texas Saturday because he believed in antisemitic tropes and was convinced that the Jewish worshipers inside would have the power to organize the release of a Pakistani prisoner jailed nearby, one of the four worshipers held at gunpoint told The Times of Israel on Monday.“He did not come there to kill Jews … He came here to release [Aafia Siddiqui], and he had bought into the extremely dangerous, antisemitic trope that Jews control everything, that we could call President [Joe] Biden and have him release her,” Jeffrey Cohen said in an interview over Zoom.Siddiqui is serving an 86-year sentence for terror offenses at a military prison 15 miles from Colleyville. She is known to US authorities as “Lady al-Qaeda,” but Akram referred to her throughout the standoff as his “sister,” albeit not literally, Cohen said.The 57-year-old resident of nearby Keller was among the last of the hostages to escape Saturday night after being held at gunpoint in Congregation Beth Israel, where he has been an active member for the past several years.Cohen recalled the harrowing events of the day, nonchalantly referencing acts of heroism taken by himself and others in the CBI sanctuary that allowed the day to end with all four hostages alive and unharmed.With the memories still raw, Cohen choked up several times throughout the 40-minute conversation, describing the phone calls he made to his wife and children that he thought would be his last, as well as the gratitude he had for having taken an active shooter course, which provided him with the “forethought” for how to conduct himself throughout the day and helped him stay alive.Cohen attends Sabbath services just about every weekend, but he said he was particularly excited for this past Saturday because it was Sabbath Shira when Jews read the Torah portion on God splitting the Red Sea for the Israelites after they exited Egypt.When Cohen arrived at the Reform synagogue, Akram was already inside. CBI Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker greeted Cohen and told him to say hello to their guest who had been outside in the below-freezing weather and was having a cup of tea.“All the things they tell you to look for in somebody — eyes darting about, hands being jittery or hidden, facial or body expressions being troubled — he didn’t have that,” Cohen recalled. “He was smiling, he was comfortable, he was relaxed… So I really didn’t think much of it.”The four CBI members inside began services shortly thereafter.“After the Amidah [prayer]… and I sat down and… heard that unmistakable sound of a slide on an automatic weapon,” said Cohen.Moments later, Akram pounced out of his chair and was yelling. Cohen doesn’t remember what the attacker said, but he took his phone out of his pocket, dialed 911 and turned it over so his hostage-taker couldn’t see what was on the screen.The ordeal was also unfolding on the livestream that CBI has set up each week since the pandemic to allow members uncomfortable praying indoors to do so from home. While Cytron-Walker credited the livestream from ensuring that fewer members were in the synagogue when the standoff unfolded, to Cohen, the benefit of the feed was that it allowed those watching to quickly alert the authorities.Akram would go on to order the Cytron-Walker, Cohen and the two others, whose names have not yet been disclosed, to move to a corner of the sanctuary. While there, Cohen carefully aligned himself with an exit door.He then stopped sharing the story to make the following plea: “Make an opportunity to take an active shooter class because that’s what saved our lives. That gave me the forethought to position myself where I did.”During the first half-hour of the ordeal, Cohen said he was convinced that the attacker intended to use his weapon.Akram let the hostages call their families in what the worshipers believed would be the final conversations with their loved ones.“I called my wife and children and left them each a very brief message where I basically said ‘I’m at the synagogue. We have a gunman here who says he’s got a bomb. This may not end well. I love you. Remember me,'” Cohen, a father of two, recalled, overcome by emotion.After those first 30 minutes though, Akram calmed down and focused on trying to release his “sister” Siddiqui.“He had one objective. He repeatedly said that he didn’t want to hurt us… that he would let us go, that he was the only one who was going to die… and that if the police brought his sister there, he and she would go out on the front lawn and let the authorities kill him. He kept speaking about martyrdom. He was the only one who needed to die that day,” Cohen said. “He told us that he chose the closest synagogue to the facility where [Siddiqui was] being held.”Referencing a statement issued by Akram’s brother on Sunday in which the latter insisted the gunman suffered from mental health issues, Cohen said he “believe[d] that to be true.”Regardless, the hostage recalled the attacker railing against people of varying races, sexual orientations and religions — including fellow Muslims.This continued for 11 hours inside the synagogue as Cohen and the other hostages sought to keep Akram calm.It worked for almost the entire time, and at one point mid-way through the standoff, the gunman proposed releasing all four of the hostages to go and get something to eat on the condition that they return 30 minutes later.Realizing that they likely wouldn’t return he resolved to free one of the worshipers.At around 8:30 pm. though, Akram began losing his patience as he grew tired, frustrated and hungry. He began threatening to shoot them. “Three bullets — one in each of them,” Cohen recalled the hostage-taker shouting.Finally losing his cool, Akram ordered the hostages to get down on their knees.“I was not going to die that way,” Cohen said, adding that what he did next was the first time during the entire ordeal that he acted insubordinately and aggressively toward his armed hostage-taker.He leaned forward, locked eyes with Akram and slowly mouthed the word, “no.”“He got a little scared and sat back down,” Cohen said.

At this point, Cohen heard Cytron-Walker yell ‘run!’ before hurling a chair at the gunman.Cohen and the other hostage bolted through the emergency exit and their rabbi followed shortly after.Moments later, the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team breached the building, engaging in a firefight with Akram and killing the 44-year-old British national.Cohen admitted it was too soon to know how the hostage crisis would impact him long-term, but he had a couple of takeaways for the time being.“Number one for me — the active shooter course is critical,” he said for the second time during the interview.“If I could do anything to help encourage anyone, any organization that is having meetings that need to do this, I would,” Cohen continued, holding back tears. “Especially Jewish organizations because we are the target because of all of these horrible tropes.”“The second thing is reaching to others, so that it’s harder for them to hate…We try to do that a lot in our community here,” he said, noting the active role Cytron-Walker and CBI play in interfaith outreach in Colleyville.“It’s no secret this area has had some problems with discrimination,” Cohen said of the Dallas suburb without specifying further. “But that’s not the majority of the people, and as more people become aware that others have been poisoned by these tropes, maybe we can help others to learn.”“As far as getting back to the synagogue, I’m obviously very comfortable with Zoom, but the habit of being in the building is important to me, so if I can, I prefer to be one of those bodies in the seats,” he added.Even next week? I asked.“Even next week.”
After years, Iran diplomats return to Saudi Arabia to take up posts in Islamic forum-Arrival of Iranian delegation to Organization of Islamic Cooperation marks first such diplomatic move between Tehran, Riyadh since ties cut in 2016-By AFP-jan 17,22-Today, 7:47 pm
TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian envoys have returned to the Saudi-based Organization of Islamic Cooperation, in the first such diplomatic move since the two countries cut ties in 2016, the foreign ministry announced Monday.“The delegation is now in Jeddah (western Saudi Arabia) to start its work at the Organization of Islamic Cooperation,” Saeed Khatibzadeh said at his weekly news conference.This “can be a good prelude for the two sides to send delegations to visit their embassies,” he added.The Iranian delegation have arrived in Jeddah but “haven’t attended any meetings yet,” an OIC official told AFP on condition of anonymity.Tehran’s diplomats are expected to attend a sub-ministerial meeting on January 23, he added.Shiite-majority Iran and the Sunni kingdom of Saudi Arabia are both members of the pan-Islamic body of 57 member states.The two regional rivals have so far held four rounds of talks aimed at improving relations, in Iraq, since April.“We have given our written points of interest to the Saudi delegation at the fourth round of negotiations in Baghdad and we are awaiting the responses,” Khatibzadeh said.Riyadh and Tehran support rival sides in several conflict zones across the region, including in Syria and Yemen.In 2016, protesters attacked Saudi diplomatic missions in Iran after the kingdom executed revered Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr.Riyadh responded at the time by cutting ties with Tehran, while OIC foreign ministers condemned the violence.Khatibzadeh reiterated Iran’s position that Tehran is “ready to open its embassy,” but that depends on what “practical steps” Saudi Arabia takes.In December, foreign ministry officials in both countries said the kingdom had granted visas to three Iranian diplomats to the OIC.
Iran arrests Khamenei’s niece after she praises widow of ousted shah-Brother of Farideh Moradkhani says the activist is being held in Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison-By AFP-JAN 17,22Today, 2:55 pm
PARIS — Iran has arrested a niece of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, her brother and activists have said, months after she took part in a celebration praising the widow of the ousted shah.Farideh Moradkhani, who has gained prominence as an anti-death penalty activist, was detained by security forces on Thursday, her brother Mahmoud Moradkhani told the London-based Iran International TV on Sunday.“We are very worried, we did not have news… we now know she is in Evin Prison” in Tehran and under the control of the ministry of intelligence, he said.The Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) said she was arrested on her way home and security forces then proceeded to search her house and confiscated her belongings.It said she is now in the notorious section 209 of Evin which is run by the ministry of intelligence.There were no details over why Moradkhani, the daughter of Khamenei’s sister, had been suddenly arrested. #BREAKING Farideh Moradkhani, a human rights activist and Ali Khamenei's niece (his sister's daughter), has been arrested and transferred to Evin Prison Her father (Khamenei's brother-in-law), a longtime critic of Islamic Republic, had also been jailed for nine years in 1990s. pic.twitter.com/x89EfWLlSY — Iran International English (@IranIntl_En) January 16, 2022-However, social media users pointed to a recent appearance in October 2021 at a video conference where Moradkhani lavishly praised Farah Diba, the widow of shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who was ousted by the 1979 Islamic Revolution.Moradkhani addressed the former empress, who was known as the shahbanu during her husband’s rule, as “dear queen” and called for her to return to the country to lead a “rebirth” of Iranian culture.The video conference was held to mark the 83rd birthday of Farah, who is now based in France.Moradkhani is the daughter of Khamenei’s sister Badri, who fell out with her family in the 1980s and fled to Iraq as the peak of the war with Iran’s neighbor, to join her husband, the dissident cleric Ali Tehrani who was born Ali Moradkhani Arangeh.Khamenei has three brothers, and one of his sons, Mojtaba, who was placed under sanctions by the United States in 2019, is believed to be one of the most powerful figures in Iran due to his work at the office of the supreme leader.
The Hill-UN: Libya has 12,000 people officially detained, thousands more held illegally-Mon, January 17, 2022, 7:30 PM
More than 12,000 people are officially detained in 27 prisons and detention facilities across Libya, with many more in "inhumane conditions in facilities controlled by armed groups or 'secret' facilities," United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said in a report obtained by The Associated Press Monday.Guterres said in the report to the U.N. Security Council that the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) has documented an alarming amount of cases of arbitrary detention, sexual violence, torture and other international law violations in facilities led by various groups, including the government."I remain gravely concerned by the continuing violations of the human rights of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers in Libya," he said in the report.Guterres noted that thousands of individuals in the official statistics provided by Libyan authorities could not challenge the legality of their detention. Thousands more detainees are being held illegally, the AP reported."Female and male migrants and refugees continued to face heightened risks of rape, sexual harassment and trafficking by armed groups, transnational smuggles and traffickers as well as officials from the Directorate for Combating Illegal Migration, which operates under the Ministry of Interior," the U.N. chief reportedly said.Guterres noted that multiple detention centers mentioned in the report are run by the Directorate for Combating Illegal Migration, including the Mitiga prison facility. He said the U.N. mission received "credible information on trafficking and sexual abuse of around 30 Nigerian women and children," the AP reported.Many of those detained are refugees or migrants traveling across the Mediterranean Sea to Europe and were ordered to return to Libya by the nation's coast guard, the outlet reported. Guterres said that as of Dec. 14, the Libyan Coast Guard blocked 30,990 migrants and refugees from traveling and ordered them back to the country, which is "almost three times the total number of people returned in 2020 (12,000 people)."Guterres said that more than 1,300 have died or gone missing during the voyage.The U.N. previously called out crimes against humanity in Libya in October, after the nation detained more than 5,000 migrants, many of them women and children. Guterres said in the report these expulsions "did not respect the prohibition of collective expulsion," and the forced return of people "placed many asylum seekers and migrants in extremely vulnerable positions."
Associated Press-Leaders of Germany, Spain meet to align progressive agendas-Mon, January 17, 2022, 11:13 AM
MADRID (AP) — German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez met Monday in the Spanish capital to align their left-wing governments' agendas and plan how to boost progressive policies in the 27-nation European Union.After taking over last month from Angela Merkel as leader of the EU’s most populous nation and its largest economy, Scholz joined Sánchez in the selected group of progressive EU politicians holding office. Both leaders also head unprecedented coalition governments in their respective countries.Sánchez greeted Scholz at the stairs of the Moncloa Palace in the outskirts of Madrid, which hosts the Spanish prime minister’s office and residence. The two were expected to hold talks over lunch before holding a joint press conference.The meeting with Sánchez, a fellow member of the European Socialists’ group, marks Scholz’s first foreign trip this year, after visits to Paris, Brussels and Rome since taking office.The talks were expected to center around ways to strengthen social democratic policies in the EU as countries try to launch economic recoveries after the sharp losses caused by the coronavirus pandemic.Mounting tensions along Ukraine’s border with Russia was also expected to be high on the agenda.Madrid in June is hosting a major conference of the North Atlantic Treaty, or NATO, in which members of the defense alliance are expected to introduce new strategic guidelines.
The Hill-China's Xi warns against 'Cold War mentality,' confrontation-Mon, January 17, 2022, 10:27 AM
Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday called on world leaders to back away from a "Cold War mentality" and advised that they seek out "win-win outcomes."Speaking at the World Economic Forum via videoconference, Xi opened his remarks by saying the world must "clear the shadow of the pandemic and boost economic and social recovery and development."In order to achieve these goals, the Chinese leader said the world must "embrace cooperation.""We need to discard Cold War mentality and seek peaceful coexistence and win-win outcomes. Our world today is far from being tranquil; rhetoric that stokes hatred and prejudice abound," Xi said."Acts of containment, suppression or confrontation arising thereof do all harm, not the least good, to world peace and security," he added. "History has proved time and again that confrontation does not solve problems; it only invites catastrophic consequences."In what could be interpreted as a swipe at European nations, Xi pointed to the creation of "exclusive small circles or blocs that polarize the world" as an example of actions that "undercut international efforts to tackle common challenges."Xi made a similar warning in November when speaking at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum."The Asia-Pacific region cannot and should not relapse into the confrontation and division of the Cold War era," said Xi.The Chinese leader's remarks come as the U.S. moves to shift its defense priorities to the Asia-Pacific region under the Biden administration.Last year, when the U.S., United Kingdom and Australia announced a trilateral deal to develop nuclear submarines, offending France in the process, China accused the West of stoking an arms race and threatening regional security.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said the deal "undermined regional peace and stability, aggravated the arms race and hurt international nonproliferation efforts."Tensions between the U.S. and China were also worsened due to Beijing's increasing aggression toward Taiwan, the island nation that China claims as part of its territory.It was reported last year that the U.S. military had secretly been training Taiwanese forces and a U.S. congressional delegation also made a visit to the island, which has no official diplomatic ties to the U.S.

Reuters-Explainer-Tonga’s volcanic eruption may harm environment for years, scientists say-Mon, January 17, 2022, 7:05 PM-By Gloria Dickie
(Reuters) - Tonga’s massive underwater volcanic eruption could deliver long-lasting damage to coral reefs, erode coastlines and disrupt fisheries, say scientists studying satellite images and looking to the past to project the future of the remote region:ACID RAIN-Since the initial eruption, the volcano has been releasing sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide — two gases that create acid rain when they interact with water and oxygen in the atmosphere.With Tonga’s tropical climate, “there is likely to be acid rain around Tonga for a while to come,” said volcanologist Shane Cronin at the University of Auckland.Acid rain causes widespread crop damage, and could ruin Tongan staples like taro, corn, bananas and garden vegetables. “Depending on how long the eruptions last, food security could be compromised,” Cronin said.Satellite imagery shows the plume spreading westward, which means Tonga could be spared some of this acid rain though Fiji could then be in its path.In a bulletin on Monday, the U.N. humanitarian affairs office said Fiji was monitoring its air quality, and has advised people to cover their household water tanks and stay indoors in the event of rain-FISH DIE-OFFS-Tonga’s exclusive economic zone of nearly 700,000 marine square kilometres (270,271 square miles) is 1,000 times larger than its land area. And most Tongans get their food — and livelihood — from the ocean.While scientists have yet to investigate on the ground, “the few pictures that are available seem to show a blanket ... of ash” on land, said Marco Brenna, a geologist at the University of Otago in New Zealand.In the ocean, that ash can be harmful to marine life. Weeks before Saturday’s eruption, Tonga Geological Services had warned that nearby seawater was contaminated with toxic volcanic discharge, and that fishermen should “assume fish in these waters are poisoned or poisonous.”Inevitably, the eruption has made the situation worse. Murky, ash-filled water near the volcano will deprive fish of food and wipe out spawning beds. Some fish will perish, and survivors will be forced to migrate, scientists said. Further changes in the structure of the sea floor could create new obstacles for fishing vessels.“It will be a while before the same or new fishing grounds will be restored,” Brenna said.-SMOTHERED CORALS-Falling ash can also smother coral reefs, which in Tonga are the mainstay of a tourism industry that brought in up to $5 million per year before the coronavirus pandemic.Even before the eruption, Tonga’s reefs were threatened by disease outbreaks and the effects of climate change including coral bleaching and increasingly strong cyclones.Now, “vast areas of the reefs in the immediate impact area at Hunga Tonga are probably buried and smothered by large deposits of volcanic ash,” said Tom Schils, a marine biologist at the University of Guam who has studied volcanic eruptions and corals in the Northern Mariana Islands.Such eruptions also release more iron into the water, which can boost the growth of blue-green algae and sponges that further degrade reefs.Reefs may have to start over - a process that could take years, said Brian Zgliczynski, a coral reef ecologist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. “Species more tolerant of poor water quality will arrive first,” while hard corals and fish would take longer to return, he said.-ERODED COASTLINES-A loss of coral reefs would also affect Tonga's ability to cope with rising waters and storm surges. This is a concern for Tonga, where climate change is driving the sea level to rise by about 6 millimeters (0.2 inches) per year — double the global average.In a 2015 report https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Leanne-Fernandes/publication 317341776_ National_marine_ ecosystem_service_ valuation_summary_ Tonga/links/5bbe5828299bf1010178adac/National-marine-ecosystem-service-valuation-summary-Tonga.pdf, Tonga valued its natural storm buffers including coral reefs as well as coastal seagrasses and mangroves at some $11 million annually.With the latest eruption, a Tongan sea level gauge recorded a tsunami wave of 1.19 metres (nearly four feet) before it stopped reporting. Tsunamis are known to cause rapid coastal erosion. And before communication systems went down, videos revealed damage to manmade seawalls“Coastal defences and reclaimed land could all be strongly impacted by the tsunami waves, leaving the islands more vulnerable,” Cronin said.(Reporting by Gloria Dickie; Editing by Katy Daigle and Howard Goller)
AFP-Distress signal detected in low-lying Tongan island-Mon, January 17, 2022, 5:27 PM
A distress signal has been detected in a low-lying Tongan island following the volcanic eruption and tsunami, the United Nations said Tuesday as the first death was reported.The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs expressed concern for two islands, Mango and Fonoi, after surveillance flights confirmed "substantial property damage" from Saturday's eruption but there had been no contact with residents."An active distress beacon had been detected from Mango," the OCHA said. The island is home to more than 30 people, according to Tongan census figures.The agency said extensive damage had been reported on the western beaches of Tonga's main island, Tongatapu, with several resorts and houses either destroyed or seriously damaged and two people were missing.No details of the missing were released but the brother of a British woman who was swept away by the tsunami said his sister's body had been found.Nick Eleini said the family was "devastated" that Angela Glover had died wile trying to rescue her dogs."Earlier today my family was sadly informed that the body of my sister Angela has been found," Eleini said in a statement.Angela Glover, 50, and her husband lived in Tonga were she ran an animal welfare charity providing shelter and rehoming stray dogs."I understand that this terrible accident came about as they tried to rescue their dogs," Eleini said.Three days after the eruption, information coming out of the Pacific archipelago is scarce with most communication links severed.New Zealand MP Jenny Salesa, whose electorate has a large number of Tongan residents, said everyone was praying for the people of Tonga."They're really just worried about their safety," she told Radio New Zealand."It's basically not knowing whether they are well, not knowing whether any of their family members are missing or (have) been washed out to sea. It's basically that lack of communication that is worrying to people back here in New Zealand."The New Zealand and Australian air forces conducted surveillance flights over Tonga on Monday and were preparing further flights to carry emergency supplies to the Pacific kingdom.The OCHA said that while communication issues meant they could not fully assess the impact of the eruption and tsunami, there was concern about the contamination of drinking water and crops, and the need for safe water supplies.cf/dw.
Associated Press-Snow, ice blast through South with powerful winter storm-PAMELA SAMPSON and KIM CHANDLER-Sun, January 16, 2022, 9:14 AM
ATLANTA (AP) — A dangerous winter storm combining high winds and ice swept through parts of the U.S. Southeast on Sunday, knocking out power, felling trees and fences and coating roads with a treacherous, frigid glaze.Tens of thousands of customers were without power in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida. Highway patrols reported hundreds of vehicle accidents, and a tornado ripped through a trailer park in Florida. More than 1,200 Sunday flights at Charlotte Douglas International were cancelled – more than 90% of the airport’s Sunday schedule, according to the flight tracking service flightaware.com.Winter Storm Izzy dumped as much as 10 inches of snow in some areas of western North Carolina as the system moved across the southeastern U.S., said Brian Hurley, a meteorologist with the Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland.First Sgt. Christopher Knox, a North Carolina Highway Patrol spokesperson, said that by midafternoon, the agency had responded to 300 car crashes and nearly 800 calls for service. Two people died Sunday when their car drove off the road and into trees in a median east of Raleigh. The driver and passenger, both 41-year-old South Carolina residents, were pronounced dead at the scene of the single-vehicle crash. Knox said investigators believe the car was driving too fast for the conditions, described as mixed winter precipitation.Durham police tweeted a photo of a tractor-trailer that slid off the N.C. Highway 147 overpass in Durham. The truck's cab appeared to have landed upright on Highway 15-501 below, while the trailer came down in a vertical position from the bridge to the highway below. Police spokesperson Kammie Michael said the driver was stable with injuries that did not appear life-threatening.Kristen Baker Morrow’s 6-year-old son made snow angels after their home in Crouse, North Carolina, got four inches of snow Sunday morning, but she said they couldn’t stay outside long because of the uncomfortable wind chill.“It took 30 to 45 minutes to get everything on for about 10 minutes in the snow, but it was definitely worth it for him, to get our pictures and make some memories,” said Morrow, a 35-year-old registered nurse.Outages, which had ballooned to a quarter-million customers earlier in the day, stood at around 130,000 customers by late Sunday, according to poweroutage.us. North Carolina was hardest hit, peaking at some 90,000 outages. Parts of Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Virginia and Kentucky also lost power.The National Weather Service confirmed a tornado with 118 mph winds (190 kph) struck southwest Florida. The weather service said the tornado was on the ground for almost two miles (3 kilometers) with a maximum path width of 125 yards (115 meters). Thirty mobile homes were destroyed and 51 had major damage. Three minor injuries were reported.Edward Murray, 81, told the Naples Daily News that he was inside his mobile home Sunday morning when a tornado picked it up and tossed it on top of his neighbor’s home.“That’s my house that’s turned upside down,” he told the newspaper. “The tornado took me off my feet, blew me toward the east wall and buried me under the sink, refrigerator, kitchen chairs and everything else.Murray and his daughter, Cokie, escaped unharmed, crawling from the wreckage.“I was so happy when I saw the sky,” Murray told the newspaper. “I said to the devil, ‘It’s not going to be today.’”Virginia State Police said traffic came to a standstill on Interstate 81 in Roanoke County for several hours Sunday afternoon after a tractor-trailer jackknifed and the cab of the truck disconnected from the trailer in the northbound lanes. Two additional accidents occurred in the traffic backup, one with minor injuries. “Please stay off the roads if possible. Begging again! Hazardous conditions,” read a tweet from VDOT’s Salem office.At Mountain Crossings, a hikers’ outfitting store on the Appalachian Trail near Georgia’s Blood Mountain, a handful of hikers were trekking up the mountain in the snow, employee Julia Leveille said Sunday.“We’re open, but it’s kind of a mess up here,” she said by phone. A tree fell along the highway about a mile south of the store, and crews were working to clear it, she said.Despite the heavy snow and ice in the area, several hikers had already started hiking from Georgia to Maine, Leveille said.“You’ve got to really like the snow for that, because you’re heading north and into higher mountains and you could see some nasty storms,” she said.Most of the hikers who stopped in Sunday were ascending Blood Mountain on a day hike. At 4,458 feet (1,359 meters), it’s the highest peak on Georgia’s portion of the Appalachian Trail.In Tennessee, there were multiple reports of abandoned and wrecked cars on snow-covered roads.The storm system could cause hazardous driving conditions over a large portion of the eastern U.S. through Monday as the wet roadways refreeze in southern states and the storm turns and moves northward through the Mid-Atlantic states and New England.“It’s a very expansive storm," Hurley said. “A lot of real estate is going to get four to eight inches of snow and a lot more are also going to get to get some of that ice accumulation.New York City was expected to be spared most, if not all, of the snowfall, but Long Island and Connecticut coastal areas were expecting gale conditions. Upstate New York was projected to get hit with up to a foot of snow along with high winds.Six to 13 inches (15 to 33 centimeters) of snow was expected in parts of east-central Ohio and western Pennsylvania from Sunday afternoon.___Associated Press reporters Dave Porter in New York City; Jeff Martin in Woodstock, Georgia; Rebecca Reynolds in Simpsonville, Kentucky; Terry Spencer in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Ron Todt in Philadelphia; Kim Chandler in Montgomery, Alabama; and Collin Binkley in Killington, Vermont contributed to this report.
USA TODAY-At least 2 dead, tens of thousands without power as brutal winter storm slams South-John Bacon and Celina Tebor, USA TODAY-Mon, January 17, 2022, 8:27 AM
The eastern United States was under a weather siege Sunday as a furious winter storm packing heavy snow, ice, gale-force winds and tornadoes rolled out of the Midwest and continued its unforgiving march across the nation.Tens of thousands of customers were without power in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida. Highway patrols reported hundreds of vehicle accidents, and a tornado ripped through a trailer park in Florida. More than 1,200 Sunday flights at Charlotte Douglas International were cancelled – more than 90% of the airport’s Sunday schedule, according to the tracking website flightaware.com.The impact of the storm varied greatly from neighborhood to neighborhood. Jackson, Mississippi, saw trace amounts of snow early Sunday while 25 miles to the northeast, the hamlet of Goshen Springs was blasted by more than 8 inches.Southern cities were on alert. Nashville could get 3 inches of snow, other parts of Tennessee a foot of snow. A tractor-trailer crash near the Tennessee River closed I-40 eastbound in Humphreys County. The Tennessee Highway Patrol reported a backup stretching several miles.The streets of Charlotte, North Carolina, were covered early Sunday, and the National Weather Service called for snow accumulations of 2 to 7 inches in parts of the state."Power outages and tree damage are likely due to the ice," the weather service warned. "Travel could be nearly impossible."Thundersnow was reported near Waynesville, North Carolina. Accuweather said a strike of lightning was detected during heavy snowfall. Thundersnow is unusual but can happen in strong snowstorms, Accuweather said. Some of the state was blanketed in a foot of snow.First Sgt. Christopher Knox, a spokesman for the North Carolina Highway Patrol, said that by midafternoon, the agency had responded to 300 car crashes and nearly 800 calls for service.Two people died Sunday when their car drove off the road and into trees in a median east of Raleigh, North Carolina.The driver and passenger, both 41-year-old South Carolina residents, were pronounced dead at the scene of the single-vehicle crash.

Hospital releases preliminary data, without specific figures-Israeli trial, world’s first, finds 4th dose ‘not good enough’ against Omicron-Expert at Sheba Medical Center says jab raises COVID antibody levels, but there are ‘still a lot of infections’ among those who received it-By TOI staff-jan 17,22-Today, 7:40 pm
Nearly a month after Sheba Medical Center launched a landmark study to test the efficacy of a fourth COVID shot, the hospital said Monday that this fourth booster was only partially effective in protecting against the Omicron strain.“The vaccine, which was very effective against the previous strains, is less effective against the Omicron strain,” Prof. Gili Regev-Yochay, a lead researcher in the experiment said.“We see an increase in antibodies, higher than after the third dose,” Regev-Yochay said. “However, we see many infected with Omicron who received the fourth dose. Granted, a bit less than in the control group, but still a lot of infections,” she added.“The bottom line is that the vaccine is excellent against the Alpha and Delta [variants], for Omicron it’s not good enough,” she said.Regev-Yochay added that it is still probably a good idea to give a fourth shot to those at higher risk, but intimated that perhaps the current campaign, which also offers the jab to the over-60s, should be amended to only include even older groups. She did not elaborate.The hospital did not release more specific data. Regev-Yochay said the results of the research are only preliminary, but indicated that she was providing the initial information since there was high public interest in the matter.Prime Minister Naftali Bennett has pushed ahead with expanding Israel’s fourth dose program, despite the lack of data.As of Sunday night, over 500,000 Israelis have been inoculated with a fourth dose. The Health Ministry began offering fourth vaccine shots to Israelis 60 and older, the immunocompromised, and medical workers last month.Sheba’s trial program, which began in December with 150 medical staff being given the shot, is many times smaller than normal drug trials, which usually involve thousands of volunteers who results are tracked for months. But it is also the only known study of the effects of a fourth dose.Israel is pinning hopes that the extra booster may help keep the Omicron variant from overwhelming hospitals and shutting down normal life.The study, the first of its kind in the world, is being carried out in conjunction with the Health Ministry, and has been approved by the government’s senior panel on human medical trials.The World Health Organization has urged countries to delay booster programs until the whole world has access to initial vaccine doses.Around two-thirds of Israel’s population of nearly 9.5 million have received at least one dose of the vaccine, and nearly 4.4 million Israelis have received three doses, according to the latest Health Ministry figures.
Committee advances plans for new Jerusalem homes beyond Green Line-Proposed neighborhood of Lower Aqueduct would include 1,465 units, with around half of the area in East Jerusalem-By Aaron Boxerman-jan 17,22-Today, 9:09 pm
The Jerusalem District Planning and Building Committee advanced a 1,465-unit plan for a new neighborhood in the capital, half of which would be in the contested area over the 1967 ceasefire line.The new neighborhood — known as the Lower Aqueduct — has been planned for the land between the Jewish neighborhoods of Givat Hamatos and Har Homa, both of which are located beyond the Green Line. About half of the planned construction would be in the Mateh Yehudah Regional Council inside Israel; the rest would be in municipal East Jerusalem.Following the committee’s approval, the Lower Aqueduct plan advanced to the “deposit” stage, meaning that it only needs one more approval before ground can be broken on the construction.Israel captured East Jerusalem from Jordan in 1967. In 1980, the Israeli government passed a law annexing the area, an act not recognized by most of the international community.Left-wing Israeli groups and Palestinians oppose Israeli construction in East Jerusalem, which they hope will one day become the capital of a Palestinian state. Right-wing Israelis, who largely oppose full Palestinian statehood, support an undivided Jerusalem as the capital of IsraelAccording to Peace Now, the planned units would “prevent territorial contiguity between East Jerusalem Palestinian neighborhoods and Bethlehem.”“This is another way in which Israel is erasing the Green Line in Jerusalem, ending Palestinian contiguity, and expropriating the lands of Palestinians. When Palestinians tried to plan construction there, it was rejected — and now the territory will be confiscated,” said Aviv Tatarsky, a researcher at the left-wing Ir Amim nonprofit.The Jerusalem municipality did not immediately respond to a request for comment.Israeli construction over the Green Line in East Jerusalem is controversial, even among Israel’s allies in Washington. After a plan to build a new neighborhood for ultra-Orthodox Jews near the Atarot Industrial Zone was announced in December, American lawmakers and government officials responded vehemently.The Times of Israel reported at the time that United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken expressed the administration’s firm opposition to the planned 9,000-unit project in an “intense” call with Prime Minister Naftali Bennett. The Jerusalem District Committee subsequently delayed the plan, citing technical inadequacies.
Fox News-'Corrupt' FBI should be 'eliminated' for statement on Texas synagogue hostage taker: Critics-Emma Colton-Sun, January 16, 2022, 11:20 AM
The FBI is facing backlash on social media after an official said that the Texas synagogue hostage taker’s demands were "not specifically related to the Jewish community.""The FBI is now an organization solely focused on destroying the domestic enemies of the Democratic Party," conservative talk radio show Jesse Kelly tweeted Sunday morning. "Any Republican Congress or Presidential candidate who doesn’t loudly proclaim his intention to massively reform or disband this organization should not be considered."TEXAS HOSTAGE SITUATION: ALL HOSTAGES 'ALIVE AND SAFE,' GREG ABBOTT TWEETS AFTER HOURS-LONG ORDEAL-Kelly’s tweet came in response to the Associated Press reporting that FBI officials said "the Texas synagogue hostage taker's demands were specifically focused on issues not connected to the Jewish community.""We do believe from our engaging with this subject that he was singularly focused on one issue, and it was not specifically related to the Jewish community. But we're continuing to work to find motive," FBI Special Agent in Charge Matt DeSarno said at a press conferenceThe hostage taker, who has been identified as British national Malik Faisal Akram, took four hostages at Congregation Beth Israel in Colleyville, near Fort Worth on Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath.TEXAS SYNAGOGUE ACCUSED HOSTAGE TAKER WAS BRITISH NATIONAL-He allegedly demanded the release of a Pakistani woman who is imprisoned in Texas on charges of trying to kill American service members in Afghanistan.The FBI and Justice Department previously described the woman, Aafia Siddiqui, as an "al-Qaida operative and facilitator" at a May 2004 news conference. She is serving an 86-year prison sentence after being convicted in 2010 on charges that she sought to shoot U.S. military members while in Afghanistan two year earlier.TEXAS OFFICIALS REACT TO NEWS OF HOSTAGE SITUATION IN COLLEYVILLE SYNAGOGUE-She has a history of anti-Semitism, including demanding that jurors in her case be DNA tested and removed "if they have a Zionist or Israeli background."The suspected hostage taker died at the scene. The hostages were released without injury.The FBI was ripped on social media for the statement that the hostage taker had no direct demands related to the Jewish community, including calling for the FBI to be "defunded and eliminated."The Department of Justice did not immediately respond to Fox News' request for comment on the criticisms.Fox News' Danielle Wallace contributed to this report.

Good Morning America-North Korea launches 4th missile test in 2 weeks-Mon, January 17, 2022, 7:13 AM
North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles toward the East Sea Monday morning, its fourth test in less than a month.“South Korea’s military detected two projectiles believed to be short-range ballistic missiles launched into the East Sea to the northeast from the Sunan Airfield in Pyongyang, North Korea, around 08:50 a.m. and 08:54 a.m.,” South Korea’s joint chiefs of staff told reporters Monday.The missiles traveled about 236 miles and reached an altitude of about 26 miles, said South Korea’s military, which was analyzing details of the launch.It was the fourth missile launch this year, following two self-claimed hypersonic missile tests on Jan. 5 and Jan. 11 and last Friday’s short-range ballistic missile that the secluded regime’s state news agency, KCNA, claimed was launched from a rail car.Pyongyang’s consecutive showcases of its military capabilities came as the United States discussed sanctions on North Korea’s nuclear program.“North Korea probably believes they pulled out a response from the U.S. by firing hypersonic missiles in the new year because the U.S. acted with new sanctions,” Moon Keun-sik, a military expert at the Korea Defense and Security Forum, told ABC News. “North Korea claims that ballistic missile test-launch is a part of the training, but it also acknowledges that their action is a UN violation.”North Korea has said its weapons development is a rightful act of self-defense. The country blames the U.S. for escalated tensions.“The DPRK's recent development of new-type weapon was just part of its efforts for modernizing its national defense capability. Nevertheless, the U.S. is intentionally escalating the situation even with the activation of independent sanctions, not content with referring the DPRK's just activity to the UN Security Council,” KCNA said on Friday, citing North Korea’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson.North Korea expressed open discontent about the sanctions imposed last Wednesday on North Korean individuals and entities who support the country's ballistic-missile program.“We could say that the situation has escalated as the United States took out the sanctions card in response to North Korea's recent missile test launch,” Kim Yong-hyun, professor of North Korean studies at Seoul-based Dongguk University, told ABC News. “Through missile experiments, Kim Jong Un intends to highlight North Korea’s presence while the United States is mainly taking care of Ukraine issues, and at the same time maintain solidarity among their people.”Some experts saw the recent tests as planned drills on North Korea’s side. Kim Jong Un announced at the 8th Party Congress in January 2021 that the country planned to strengthen its weapon systems, including hypersonic missiles.“Pyongyang’s missile tests will take rounds and rounds for the next three years, not mainly intended to send a political message, which is only part of the motivation,” Bong Young-shik of Yonsei University told ABC News. “It would be a mistaken belief to think that the North Korea military can be bought out with massive immediate concessions because North Korea is moving on its own schedule by military capability.”Analysts in South Korea agreed that North Korea was following its own schedule to ramp up military capabilities in a time when there's a slim chance of negotiating with other countries in person.“North Korea is in the direction of enhancing the technical completeness of their missile program and knocking on the United States, trying to persuade them they should reach out to North Korea in any way,” Kim told ABC News.It isn’t the first time North Korea has scaled up in its weapons experiments. Back in 2019, North Korea fired over 20 short-range ballistic missiles between May and November.ABC News' Chae Young Oh contributed to this report.
The Hill-US calls on North Korea to halt 'unlawful and destabilizing' missile launchesMon, January 17, 2022, 11:58 AM
The U.S. envoy focused on North Korea called at least two ballistic missile launches by North Korea Monday "unlawful and destabilizing activities" and pushed for the nuclear-armed nation to engage in dialogue.Sung Kim, the U.S. Special Representative for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), the official name of North Korea, made his remarks in a trilateral call with officials in South Korea, formally the Republic of Korea (ROK), and Japan.North Korea's missile launches on Monday came on top of two other launches, on Jan. 10 and Jan. 5, with which Pyongyang reportedly tested advanced hypersonic missiles.South Korea's military reportedly said the missile launches are an attempt by Pyongyang to demonstrate its military might amid stalled diplomacy with the U.S. and pandemic border closures.Kim, the U.S. ambassador to Indonesia who was appointed as special envoy for North Korea in May, expressed "concern about the DPRK's missile launches, which violated multiple U.N. Security Council resolutions and were the latest in a series of ballistic missile launches by the DPRK this month," State Department spokesperson Ned Price said in a statement.Kim further reiterated to South Korean and Japanese officials "the U.S. commitment to the complete denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, as well as its ironclad commitment to the defense of its allies."Kim had spoken with officials in South Korea and Japan on Jan. 11, according to a State Department readout of the call. It was "the latest in a number of calls made between the three since January 5," according to the readout.Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Friday spoke with South Korea's Foreign Minister Chung Eui-yong and stressed the U.S.'s commitment to the defense of Seoul "remains ironclad."Blinken, in an interview with NPR on Friday, called North Korea's missile tests "profoundly destabilizing."The Treasury Department last week issued sanctions on five North Korean officials residing in Russia and China for aiding North Korea's ballistic missile program in response to at least six missile launches that occurred between September and Jan. 10.North Korea has rejected offers by the Biden administration to host bilateral talks without preconditions, with Pyongyang saying that it wants Washington to address its "hostile activity" before it engages in any talks, a broad term likely to refer to sanctions imposed by the U.S. as well as military coordination it has with South Korea.
Reuters-US senators promise solidarity and weapons for Ukraine in warning to Putin-Mon, January 17, 2022, 3:28 PM
KYIV (Reuters) - A bipartisan group of United States senators promised solidarity and weapons on a visit to Kyiv on Monday while warning Russian President Vladimir Putin against launching a new military offensive against Ukraine. Kyiv and its Western allies have sounded the alarm after Russia massed tens of thousands of troops near Ukraine's borders and pressed the United States for security guarantees, including a block on Ukraine joining the NATO alliance. Russia denies planning a new military offensive. The United States has been Ukraine's most powerful backer in its standoff with Moscow after Russia's annexation of Crimea in 2014 and the outbreak of the war in eastern Ukraine. "I think Vladimir Putin has made the biggest mistake of his career in underestimating how courageously the people of Ukraine will fight him if he invades," Senator Richard Blumenthal told reporters. "And we will impose crippling economic sanctions, but more important we will give the people of Ukraine the arms, lethal arms they need to defend their lives and livelihoods," he said after the delegation met President Volodymyr Zelenskiy. These weapons could include Javelin anti-tank missiles, Stinger missiles, small arms and boats, he said. "And so our message is: there will be consequences if he chooses to violate the sanctity of this democracy," Senator Amy Klobuchar added.

Disbelief in English town after local man takes hostages at Texas synagogue-Activist says Blackburn’s Muslim community is shocked by Malik Faisal Akram’s ‘unacceptable’ attack on Jewish house of worship 7,400 km away, questions why he was allowed to fly-By Paul Barker-jan 17,22Today, 10:13 pm
BLACKBURN, England (AFP) — Community leaders in Blackburn, northwest England, on Monday voiced their shock after a local man took four people hostage more than 4,500 miles (7,400 kilometers) away at a Texas synagogue.Malik Faisal Akram, 44, died after a 10-hour siege in the small town of Colleyville on Saturday. All four hostages escaped unharmed. US President Joe Biden called it an “act of terror.”Britain has promised its “full support” to US investigators. Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s spokesman described the drama as a “terrible and antisemitic act of terrorism.”Counterterrorism police arrested two teenagers in Manchester, 21 miles (34 kilometers) from Blackburn, on Sunday.In Blackburn, a run-down former mill town where 28 percent of the population identify as Asian or British Asian, activist Asif Mahmud said the close-knit local Muslim community was shocked.Mahmud, 50, told AFP that Akram came from a “well-known and well-respected family,” and that he last saw him at his brother’s funeral about three months ago.He called the hostage-taking “unacceptable,” echoing similar condemnation from the Muslim Council of Britain, a national umbrella body of Islamic groups.But, he said, “questions have to be asked” about how Akram managed to get to the United States in the first place.Akram’s family have said he had mental health problems, while Mahmud said it was “well-known” that he had a criminal record.“How is it he got through immigration?” he asked.“There’s possible failing in the intelligence services. But obviously the investigation process will establish the ins and outs of why and what happened.”A man who identified himself as Akram’s brother, Gulbar, posted on Facebook that the family did not condone his actions, and apologized to everyone involved.“I’ve got friends… who are in touch with the family, and they’re obviously distraught trying to come to terms with what’s happened,” said Mahmud.“They’ve lost a son and they’ve lost a brother. They’re just struggling to understand what’s happened here.”The Muslim community of Blackburn was “in solidarity with the Jewish community, and our sympathy goes out to the hostages and the rest of the Jewish community.”“People should be allowed to live freely without fear of violence or terror,” he said.Biden declined to speculate on the motive for the hostage-taking, but indicated that Akram had been seeking the release of Aafia Siddiqui, a Pakistani neuroscientist known as “Lady Al-Qaeda.”Detained in Afghanistan in 2008, she is serving an 86-year sentence for the attempted murder of US officers in the country, and held at a prison in Fort Worth, Texas, 20 miles from the Beth Israel synagogue Akram attacked.Her detention has become a cause celebre for global jihadists.
Interview-Says he refused to kneel: 'I was not going to die that way' Hostage: Attacker chose synagogue, thinking Jews powerful enough to free ‘sister’ Jeff Cohen recounts emotional moment he phoned family for what he thought would be last time; urges Jewish communities to take active shooter course, which helped save their lives-By Jacob Magid-18 January 2022, 1:14 am
COLLEYVILLE, Texas — Malik Faisal Akram chose to hold synagogue worshipers hostage in Colleyville, Texas Saturday because he believed in antisemitic tropes and was convinced that the Jewish worshipers inside would have the power to organize the release of a Pakistani prisoner jailed nearby, one of the four worshipers held at gunpoint told The Times of Israel on Monday.“He did not come there to kill Jews … He came here to release [Aafia Siddiqui], and he had bought into the extremely dangerous, antisemitic trope that Jews control everything, that we could call President [Joe] Biden and have him release her,” Jeffrey Cohen said in an interview over Zoom.Siddiqui is serving an 86-year sentence for terror offenses at a military prison 15 miles from Colleyville. She is known to US authorities as “Lady al-Qaeda,” but Akram referred to her throughout the standoff as his “sister,” albeit not literally, Cohen said.The 57-year-old resident of nearby Keller was among the last of the hostages to escape Saturday night after being held at gunpoint in Congregation Beth Israel, where he has been an active member for the past several years.Cohen recalled the harrowing events of the day, nonchalantly referencing acts of heroism taken by himself and others in the CBI sanctuary that allowed the day to end with all four hostages alive and unharmed.With the memories still raw, Cohen choked up several times throughout the 40-minute conversation, describing the phone calls he made to his wife and children that he thought would be his last, as well as the gratitude he had for having taken an active shooter course, which provided him with the “forethought” for how to conduct himself throughout the day and helped him stay alive.Cohen attends Sabbath services just about every weekend, but he said he was particularly excited for this past Saturday because it was Sabbath Shira when Jews read the Torah portion on God splitting the Red Sea for the Israelites after they exited Egypt.When Cohen arrived at the Reform synagogue, Akram was already inside. CBI Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker greeted Cohen and told him to say hello to their guest who had been outside in the below-freezing weather and was having a cup of tea.“All the things they tell you to look for in somebody — eyes darting about, hands being jittery or hidden, facial or body expressions being troubled — he didn’t have that,” Cohen recalled. “He was smiling, he was comfortable, he was relaxed… So I really didn’t think much of it.”The four CBI members inside began services shortly thereafter.“After the Amidah [prayer]… and I sat down and… heard that unmistakable sound of a slide on an automatic weapon,” said Cohen.Moments later, Akram pounced out of his chair and was yelling. Cohen doesn’t remember what the attacker said, but he took his phone out of his pocket, dialed 911 and turned it over so his hostage-taker couldn’t see what was on the screen.The ordeal was also unfolding on the livestream that CBI has set up each week since the pandemic to allow members uncomfortable praying indoors to do so from home. While Cytron-Walker credited the livestream from ensuring that fewer members were in the synagogue when the standoff unfolded, to Cohen, the benefit of the feed was that it allowed those watching to quickly alert the authorities.Akram would go on to order the Cytron-Walker, Cohen and the two others, whose names have not yet been disclosed, to move to a corner of the sanctuary. While there, Cohen carefully aligned himself with an exit door.He then stopped sharing the story to make the following plea: “Make an opportunity to take an active shooter class because that’s what saved our lives. That gave me the forethought to position myself where I did.”During the first half-hour of the ordeal, Cohen said he was convinced that the attacker intended to use his weapon.Akram let the hostages call their families in what the worshipers believed would be the final conversations with their loved ones.“I called my wife and children and left them each a very brief message where I basically said ‘I’m at the synagogue. We have a gunman here who says he’s got a bomb. This may not end well. I love you. Remember me,'” Cohen, a father of two, recalled, overcome by emotion.After those first 30 minutes though, Akram calmed down and focused on trying to release his “sister” Siddiqui.“He had one objective. He repeatedly said that he didn’t want to hurt us… that he would let us go, that he was the only one who was going to die… and that if the police brought his sister there, he and she would go out on the front lawn and let the authorities kill him. He kept speaking about martyrdom. He was the only one who needed to die that day,” Cohen said. “He told us that he chose the closest synagogue to the facility where [Siddiqui was] being held.”Referencing a statement issued by Akram’s brother on Sunday in which the latter insisted the gunman suffered from mental health issues, Cohen said he “believe[d] that to be true.”Regardless, the hostage recalled the attacker railing against people of varying races, sexual orientations and religions — including fellow Muslims.This continued for 11 hours inside the synagogue as Cohen and the other hostages sought to keep Akram calm.It worked for almost the entire time, and at one point mid-way through the standoff, the gunman proposed releasing all four of the hostages to go and get something to eat on the condition that they return 30 minutes later.Realizing that they likely wouldn’t return he resolved to free one of the worshipers.At around 8:30 pm. though, Akram began losing his patience as he grew tired, frustrated and hungry. He began threatening to shoot them. “Three bullets — one in each of them,” Cohen recalled the hostage-taker shouting.Finally losing his cool, Akram ordered the hostages to get down on their knees.“I was not going to die that way,” Cohen said, adding that what he did next was the first time during the entire ordeal that he acted insubordinately and aggressively toward his armed hostage-taker.He leaned forward, locked eyes with Akram and slowly mouthed the word, “no.”“He got a little scared and sat back down,” Cohen said.

At this point, Cohen heard Cytron-Walker yell ‘run!’ before hurling a chair at the gunman.Cohen and the other hostage bolted through the emergency exit and their rabbi followed shortly after.Moments later, the FBI’s Hostage Rescue Team breached the building, engaging in a firefight with Akram and killing the 44-year-old British national.Cohen admitted it was too soon to know how the hostage crisis would impact him long-term, but he had a couple of takeaways for the time being.“Number one for me — the active shooter course is critical,” he said for the second time during the interview.“If I could do anything to help encourage anyone, any organization that is having meetings that need to do this, I would,” Cohen continued, holding back tears. “Especially Jewish organizations because we are the target because of all of these horrible tropes.”“The second thing is reaching to others, so that it’s harder for them to hate…We try to do that a lot in our community here,” he said, noting the active role Cytron-Walker and CBI play in interfaith outreach in Colleyville.“It’s no secret this area has had some problems with discrimination,” Cohen said of the Dallas suburb without specifying further. “But that’s not the majority of the people, and as more people become aware that others have been poisoned by these tropes, maybe we can help others to learn.”“As far as getting back to the synagogue, I’m obviously very comfortable with Zoom, but the habit of being in the building is important to me, so if I can, I prefer to be one of those bodies in the seats,” he added.Even next week? I asked.“Even next week.”
After years, Iran diplomats return to Saudi Arabia to take up posts in Islamic forum-Arrival of Iranian delegation to Organization of Islamic Cooperation marks first such diplomatic move between Tehran, Riyadh since ties cut in 2016-By AFP-jan 17,22-Today, 7:47 pm
TEHRAN, Iran — Iranian envoys have returned to the Saudi-based Organization of Islamic Cooperation, in the first such diplomatic move since the two countries cut ties in 2016, the foreign ministry announced Monday.“The delegation is now in Jeddah (western Saudi Arabia) to start its work at the Organization of Islamic Cooperation,” Saeed Khatibzadeh said at his weekly news conference.This “can be a good prelude for the two sides to send delegations to visit their embassies,” he added.The Iranian delegation have arrived in Jeddah but “haven’t attended any meetings yet,” an OIC official told AFP on condition of anonymity.Tehran’s diplomats are expected to attend a sub-ministerial meeting on January 23, he added.Shiite-majority Iran and the Sunni kingdom of Saudi Arabia are both members of the pan-Islamic body of 57 member states.The two regional rivals have so far held four rounds of talks aimed at improving relations, in Iraq, since April.“We have given our written points of interest to the Saudi delegation at the fourth round of negotiations in Baghdad and we are awaiting the responses,” Khatibzadeh said.Riyadh and Tehran support rival sides in several conflict zones across the region, including in Syria and Yemen.In 2016, protesters attacked Saudi diplomatic missions in Iran after the kingdom executed revered Shiite cleric Nimr al-Nimr.Riyadh responded at the time by cutting ties with Tehran, while OIC foreign ministers condemned the violence.Khatibzadeh reiterated Iran’s position that Tehran is “ready to open its embassy,” but that depends on what “practical steps” Saudi Arabia takes.In December, foreign ministry officials in both countries said the kingdom had granted visas to three Iranian diplomats to the OIC.
Iran arrests Khamenei’s niece after she praises widow of ousted shah-Brother of Farideh Moradkhani says the activist is being held in Tehran’s notorious Evin Prison-By AFP-JAN 17,22Today, 2:55 pm
PARIS — Iran has arrested a niece of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, her brother and activists have said, months after she took part in a celebration praising the widow of the ousted shah.Farideh Moradkhani, who has gained prominence as an anti-death penalty activist, was detained by security forces on Thursday, her brother Mahmoud Moradkhani told the London-based Iran International TV on Sunday.“We are very worried, we did not have news… we now know she is in Evin Prison” in Tehran and under the control of the ministry of intelligence, he said.The Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) said she was arrested on her way home and security forces then proceeded to search her house and confiscated her belongings.It said she is now in the notorious section 209 of Evin which is run by the ministry of intelligence.There were no details over why Moradkhani, the daughter of Khamenei’s sister, had been suddenly arrested. #BREAKING Farideh Moradkhani, a human rights activist and Ali Khamenei's niece (his sister's daughter), has been arrested and transferred to Evin Prison Her father (Khamenei's brother-in-law), a longtime critic of Islamic Republic, had also been jailed for nine years in 1990s. pic.twitter.com/x89EfWLlSY — Iran International English (@IranIntl_En) January 16, 2022-However, social media users pointed to a recent appearance in October 2021 at a video conference where Moradkhani lavishly praised Farah Diba, the widow of shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, who was ousted by the 1979 Islamic Revolution.Moradkhani addressed the former empress, who was known as the shahbanu during her husband’s rule, as “dear queen” and called for her to return to the country to lead a “rebirth” of Iranian culture.The video conference was held to mark the 83rd birthday of Farah, who is now based in France.Moradkhani is the daughter of Khamenei’s sister Badri, who fell out with her family in the 1980s and fled to Iraq as the peak of the war with Iran’s neighbor, to join her husband, the dissident cleric Ali Tehrani who was born Ali Moradkhani Arangeh.Khamenei has three brothers, and one of his sons, Mojtaba, who was placed under sanctions by the United States in 2019, is believed to be one of the most powerful figures in Iran due to his work at the office of the supreme leader.
The Hill-UN: Libya has 12,000 people officially detained, thousands more held illegally-Mon, January 17, 2022, 7:30 PM
More than 12,000 people are officially detained in 27 prisons and detention facilities across Libya, with many more in "inhumane conditions in facilities controlled by armed groups or 'secret' facilities," United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres said in a report obtained by The Associated Press Monday.Guterres said in the report to the U.N. Security Council that the United Nations Support Mission in Libya (UNSMIL) has documented an alarming amount of cases of arbitrary detention, sexual violence, torture and other international law violations in facilities led by various groups, including the government."I remain gravely concerned by the continuing violations of the human rights of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers in Libya," he said in the report.Guterres noted that thousands of individuals in the official statistics provided by Libyan authorities could not challenge the legality of their detention. Thousands more detainees are being held illegally, the AP reported."Female and male migrants and refugees continued to face heightened risks of rape, sexual harassment and trafficking by armed groups, transnational smuggles and traffickers as well as officials from the Directorate for Combating Illegal Migration, which operates under the Ministry of Interior," the U.N. chief reportedly said.Guterres noted that multiple detention centers mentioned in the report are run by the Directorate for Combating Illegal Migration, including the Mitiga prison facility. He said the U.N. mission received "credible information on trafficking and sexual abuse of around 30 Nigerian women and children," the AP reported.Many of those detained are refugees or migrants traveling across the Mediterranean Sea to Europe and were ordered to return to Libya by the nation's coast guard, the outlet reported. Guterres said that as of Dec. 14, the Libyan Coast Guard blocked 30,990 migrants and refugees from traveling and ordered them back to the country, which is "almost three times the total number of people returned in 2020 (12,000 people)."Guterres said that more than 1,300 have died or gone missing during the voyage.The U.N. previously called out crimes against humanity in Libya in October, after the nation detained more than 5,000 migrants, many of them women and children. Guterres said in the report these expulsions "did not respect the prohibition of collective expulsion," and the forced return of people "placed many asylum seekers and migrants in extremely vulnerable positions."
Associated Press-Leaders of Germany, Spain meet to align progressive agendas-Mon, January 17, 2022, 11:13 AM
MADRID (AP) — German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez met Monday in the Spanish capital to align their left-wing governments' agendas and plan how to boost progressive policies in the 27-nation European Union.After taking over last month from Angela Merkel as leader of the EU’s most populous nation and its largest economy, Scholz joined Sánchez in the selected group of progressive EU politicians holding office. Both leaders also head unprecedented coalition governments in their respective countries.Sánchez greeted Scholz at the stairs of the Moncloa Palace in the outskirts of Madrid, which hosts the Spanish prime minister’s office and residence. The two were expected to hold talks over lunch before holding a joint press conference.The meeting with Sánchez, a fellow member of the European Socialists’ group, marks Scholz’s first foreign trip this year, after visits to Paris, Brussels and Rome since taking office.The talks were expected to center around ways to strengthen social democratic policies in the EU as countries try to launch economic recoveries after the sharp losses caused by the coronavirus pandemic.Mounting tensions along Ukraine’s border with Russia was also expected to be high on the agenda.Madrid in June is hosting a major conference of the North Atlantic Treaty, or NATO, in which members of the defense alliance are expected to introduce new strategic guidelines.
The Hill-China's Xi warns against 'Cold War mentality,' confrontation-Mon, January 17, 2022, 10:27 AM
Chinese President Xi Jinping on Monday called on world leaders to back away from a "Cold War mentality" and advised that they seek out "win-win outcomes."Speaking at the World Economic Forum via videoconference, Xi opened his remarks by saying the world must "clear the shadow of the pandemic and boost economic and social recovery and development."In order to achieve these goals, the Chinese leader said the world must "embrace cooperation.""We need to discard Cold War mentality and seek peaceful coexistence and win-win outcomes. Our world today is far from being tranquil; rhetoric that stokes hatred and prejudice abound," Xi said."Acts of containment, suppression or confrontation arising thereof do all harm, not the least good, to world peace and security," he added. "History has proved time and again that confrontation does not solve problems; it only invites catastrophic consequences."In what could be interpreted as a swipe at European nations, Xi pointed to the creation of "exclusive small circles or blocs that polarize the world" as an example of actions that "undercut international efforts to tackle common challenges."Xi made a similar warning in November when speaking at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum."The Asia-Pacific region cannot and should not relapse into the confrontation and division of the Cold War era," said Xi.The Chinese leader's remarks come as the U.S. moves to shift its defense priorities to the Asia-Pacific region under the Biden administration.Last year, when the U.S., United Kingdom and Australia announced a trilateral deal to develop nuclear submarines, offending France in the process, China accused the West of stoking an arms race and threatening regional security.Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said the deal "undermined regional peace and stability, aggravated the arms race and hurt international nonproliferation efforts."Tensions between the U.S. and China were also worsened due to Beijing's increasing aggression toward Taiwan, the island nation that China claims as part of its territory.It was reported last year that the U.S. military had secretly been training Taiwanese forces and a U.S. congressional delegation also made a visit to the island, which has no official diplomatic ties to the U.S.

Reuters-Explainer-Tonga’s volcanic eruption may harm environment for years, scientists say-Mon, January 17, 2022, 7:05 PM-By Gloria Dickie
(Reuters) - Tonga’s massive underwater volcanic eruption could deliver long-lasting damage to coral reefs, erode coastlines and disrupt fisheries, say scientists studying satellite images and looking to the past to project the future of the remote region:ACID RAIN-Since the initial eruption, the volcano has been releasing sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide — two gases that create acid rain when they interact with water and oxygen in the atmosphere.With Tonga’s tropical climate, “there is likely to be acid rain around Tonga for a while to come,” said volcanologist Shane Cronin at the University of Auckland.Acid rain causes widespread crop damage, and could ruin Tongan staples like taro, corn, bananas and garden vegetables. “Depending on how long the eruptions last, food security could be compromised,” Cronin said.Satellite imagery shows the plume spreading westward, which means Tonga could be spared some of this acid rain though Fiji could then be in its path.In a bulletin on Monday, the U.N. humanitarian affairs office said Fiji was monitoring its air quality, and has advised people to cover their household water tanks and stay indoors in the event of rain-FISH DIE-OFFS-Tonga’s exclusive economic zone of nearly 700,000 marine square kilometres (270,271 square miles) is 1,000 times larger than its land area. And most Tongans get their food — and livelihood — from the ocean.While scientists have yet to investigate on the ground, “the few pictures that are available seem to show a blanket ... of ash” on land, said Marco Brenna, a geologist at the University of Otago in New Zealand.In the ocean, that ash can be harmful to marine life. Weeks before Saturday’s eruption, Tonga Geological Services had warned that nearby seawater was contaminated with toxic volcanic discharge, and that fishermen should “assume fish in these waters are poisoned or poisonous.”Inevitably, the eruption has made the situation worse. Murky, ash-filled water near the volcano will deprive fish of food and wipe out spawning beds. Some fish will perish, and survivors will be forced to migrate, scientists said. Further changes in the structure of the sea floor could create new obstacles for fishing vessels.“It will be a while before the same or new fishing grounds will be restored,” Brenna said.-SMOTHERED CORALS-Falling ash can also smother coral reefs, which in Tonga are the mainstay of a tourism industry that brought in up to $5 million per year before the coronavirus pandemic.Even before the eruption, Tonga’s reefs were threatened by disease outbreaks and the effects of climate change including coral bleaching and increasingly strong cyclones.Now, “vast areas of the reefs in the immediate impact area at Hunga Tonga are probably buried and smothered by large deposits of volcanic ash,” said Tom Schils, a marine biologist at the University of Guam who has studied volcanic eruptions and corals in the Northern Mariana Islands.Such eruptions also release more iron into the water, which can boost the growth of blue-green algae and sponges that further degrade reefs.Reefs may have to start over - a process that could take years, said Brian Zgliczynski, a coral reef ecologist at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. “Species more tolerant of poor water quality will arrive first,” while hard corals and fish would take longer to return, he said.-ERODED COASTLINES-A loss of coral reefs would also affect Tonga's ability to cope with rising waters and storm surges. This is a concern for Tonga, where climate change is driving the sea level to rise by about 6 millimeters (0.2 inches) per year — double the global average.In a 2015 report https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Leanne-Fernandes/publication 317341776_ National_marine_ ecosystem_service_ valuation_summary_ Tonga/links/5bbe5828299bf1010178adac/National-marine-ecosystem-service-valuation-summary-Tonga.pdf, Tonga valued its natural storm buffers including coral reefs as well as coastal seagrasses and mangroves at some $11 million annually.With the latest eruption, a Tongan sea level gauge recorded a tsunami wave of 1.19 metres (nearly four feet) before it stopped reporting. Tsunamis are known to cause rapid coastal erosion. And before communication systems went down, videos revealed damage to manmade seawalls“Coastal defences and reclaimed land could all be strongly impacted by the tsunami waves, leaving the islands more vulnerable,” Cronin said.(Reporting by Gloria Dickie; Editing by Katy Daigle and Howard Goller)
AFP-Distress signal detected in low-lying Tongan island-Mon, January 17, 2022, 5:27 PM
A distress signal has been detected in a low-lying Tongan island following the volcanic eruption and tsunami, the United Nations said Tuesday as the first death was reported.The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs expressed concern for two islands, Mango and Fonoi, after surveillance flights confirmed "substantial property damage" from Saturday's eruption but there had been no contact with residents."An active distress beacon had been detected from Mango," the OCHA said. The island is home to more than 30 people, according to Tongan census figures.The agency said extensive damage had been reported on the western beaches of Tonga's main island, Tongatapu, with several resorts and houses either destroyed or seriously damaged and two people were missing.No details of the missing were released but the brother of a British woman who was swept away by the tsunami said his sister's body had been found.Nick Eleini said the family was "devastated" that Angela Glover had died wile trying to rescue her dogs."Earlier today my family was sadly informed that the body of my sister Angela has been found," Eleini said in a statement.Angela Glover, 50, and her husband lived in Tonga were she ran an animal welfare charity providing shelter and rehoming stray dogs."I understand that this terrible accident came about as they tried to rescue their dogs," Eleini said.Three days after the eruption, information coming out of the Pacific archipelago is scarce with most communication links severed.New Zealand MP Jenny Salesa, whose electorate has a large number of Tongan residents, said everyone was praying for the people of Tonga."They're really just worried about their safety," she told Radio New Zealand."It's basically not knowing whether they are well, not knowing whether any of their family members are missing or (have) been washed out to sea. It's basically that lack of communication that is worrying to people back here in New Zealand."The New Zealand and Australian air forces conducted surveillance flights over Tonga on Monday and were preparing further flights to carry emergency supplies to the Pacific kingdom.The OCHA said that while communication issues meant they could not fully assess the impact of the eruption and tsunami, there was concern about the contamination of drinking water and crops, and the need for safe water supplies.cf/dw.
Associated Press-Snow, ice blast through South with powerful winter storm-PAMELA SAMPSON and KIM CHANDLER-Sun, January 16, 2022, 9:14 AM
ATLANTA (AP) — A dangerous winter storm combining high winds and ice swept through parts of the U.S. Southeast on Sunday, knocking out power, felling trees and fences and coating roads with a treacherous, frigid glaze.Tens of thousands of customers were without power in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida. Highway patrols reported hundreds of vehicle accidents, and a tornado ripped through a trailer park in Florida. More than 1,200 Sunday flights at Charlotte Douglas International were cancelled – more than 90% of the airport’s Sunday schedule, according to the flight tracking service flightaware.com.Winter Storm Izzy dumped as much as 10 inches of snow in some areas of western North Carolina as the system moved across the southeastern U.S., said Brian Hurley, a meteorologist with the Weather Prediction Center in College Park, Maryland.First Sgt. Christopher Knox, a North Carolina Highway Patrol spokesperson, said that by midafternoon, the agency had responded to 300 car crashes and nearly 800 calls for service. Two people died Sunday when their car drove off the road and into trees in a median east of Raleigh. The driver and passenger, both 41-year-old South Carolina residents, were pronounced dead at the scene of the single-vehicle crash. Knox said investigators believe the car was driving too fast for the conditions, described as mixed winter precipitation.Durham police tweeted a photo of a tractor-trailer that slid off the N.C. Highway 147 overpass in Durham. The truck's cab appeared to have landed upright on Highway 15-501 below, while the trailer came down in a vertical position from the bridge to the highway below. Police spokesperson Kammie Michael said the driver was stable with injuries that did not appear life-threatening.Kristen Baker Morrow’s 6-year-old son made snow angels after their home in Crouse, North Carolina, got four inches of snow Sunday morning, but she said they couldn’t stay outside long because of the uncomfortable wind chill.“It took 30 to 45 minutes to get everything on for about 10 minutes in the snow, but it was definitely worth it for him, to get our pictures and make some memories,” said Morrow, a 35-year-old registered nurse.Outages, which had ballooned to a quarter-million customers earlier in the day, stood at around 130,000 customers by late Sunday, according to poweroutage.us. North Carolina was hardest hit, peaking at some 90,000 outages. Parts of Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, Virginia and Kentucky also lost power.The National Weather Service confirmed a tornado with 118 mph winds (190 kph) struck southwest Florida. The weather service said the tornado was on the ground for almost two miles (3 kilometers) with a maximum path width of 125 yards (115 meters). Thirty mobile homes were destroyed and 51 had major damage. Three minor injuries were reported.Edward Murray, 81, told the Naples Daily News that he was inside his mobile home Sunday morning when a tornado picked it up and tossed it on top of his neighbor’s home.“That’s my house that’s turned upside down,” he told the newspaper. “The tornado took me off my feet, blew me toward the east wall and buried me under the sink, refrigerator, kitchen chairs and everything else.Murray and his daughter, Cokie, escaped unharmed, crawling from the wreckage.“I was so happy when I saw the sky,” Murray told the newspaper. “I said to the devil, ‘It’s not going to be today.’”Virginia State Police said traffic came to a standstill on Interstate 81 in Roanoke County for several hours Sunday afternoon after a tractor-trailer jackknifed and the cab of the truck disconnected from the trailer in the northbound lanes. Two additional accidents occurred in the traffic backup, one with minor injuries. “Please stay off the roads if possible. Begging again! Hazardous conditions,” read a tweet from VDOT’s Salem office.At Mountain Crossings, a hikers’ outfitting store on the Appalachian Trail near Georgia’s Blood Mountain, a handful of hikers were trekking up the mountain in the snow, employee Julia Leveille said Sunday.“We’re open, but it’s kind of a mess up here,” she said by phone. A tree fell along the highway about a mile south of the store, and crews were working to clear it, she said.Despite the heavy snow and ice in the area, several hikers had already started hiking from Georgia to Maine, Leveille said.“You’ve got to really like the snow for that, because you’re heading north and into higher mountains and you could see some nasty storms,” she said.Most of the hikers who stopped in Sunday were ascending Blood Mountain on a day hike. At 4,458 feet (1,359 meters), it’s the highest peak on Georgia’s portion of the Appalachian Trail.In Tennessee, there were multiple reports of abandoned and wrecked cars on snow-covered roads.The storm system could cause hazardous driving conditions over a large portion of the eastern U.S. through Monday as the wet roadways refreeze in southern states and the storm turns and moves northward through the Mid-Atlantic states and New England.“It’s a very expansive storm," Hurley said. “A lot of real estate is going to get four to eight inches of snow and a lot more are also going to get to get some of that ice accumulation.New York City was expected to be spared most, if not all, of the snowfall, but Long Island and Connecticut coastal areas were expecting gale conditions. Upstate New York was projected to get hit with up to a foot of snow along with high winds.Six to 13 inches (15 to 33 centimeters) of snow was expected in parts of east-central Ohio and western Pennsylvania from Sunday afternoon.___Associated Press reporters Dave Porter in New York City; Jeff Martin in Woodstock, Georgia; Rebecca Reynolds in Simpsonville, Kentucky; Terry Spencer in Fort Lauderdale, Florida; Ron Todt in Philadelphia; Kim Chandler in Montgomery, Alabama; and Collin Binkley in Killington, Vermont contributed to this report.
USA TODAY-At least 2 dead, tens of thousands without power as brutal winter storm slams South-John Bacon and Celina Tebor, USA TODAY-Mon, January 17, 2022, 8:27 AM
The eastern United States was under a weather siege Sunday as a furious winter storm packing heavy snow, ice, gale-force winds and tornadoes rolled out of the Midwest and continued its unforgiving march across the nation.Tens of thousands of customers were without power in Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida. Highway patrols reported hundreds of vehicle accidents, and a tornado ripped through a trailer park in Florida. More than 1,200 Sunday flights at Charlotte Douglas International were cancelled – more than 90% of the airport’s Sunday schedule, according to the tracking website flightaware.com.The impact of the storm varied greatly from neighborhood to neighborhood.
