How to keep your shower glass waterstain-free
I’ve just installed a new glass shower screen, which I’ve been dreading trying to keep clean.
I’m not sure that I have the time or patience to squeegee after every single use (who does?). But nor do I want my bathroom to look grotty after a couple of weeks.
So I recently asked for your tips to help keep my shower glass free from watermarks and soap scum – and you had plenty of ideas. Here’s what you said.

* How to clean your bathroom if you only have 10 minutes, 30 minutes, or an hour
* Here's how to clean those grimy, easily ignored spots in your kitchen
* Are dishwasher tabs the answer to this bathroom cleaning nightmare?
Dishwasher tablet hack
My colleague Kylie Klein Nixon has previously tested this one out.
She said: “I've used vinegar and lemon before - a homemade concoction that's a great replacement for almost all store bought cleaners - but it doesn't really cut through the soap scum. Then a story about using a dishwasher tablet to clean the oven broke, and it seemed like I might have an answer. So, I tried it out.
“The result: A resounding success.” However she adds, sensibly, that while this worked a treat as a one-off deep clean, she doesn’t use it for regular cleaning as there’s a lot of concentrated chemicals in those tablets, and they’re not recommended for your skin.
Swap the squeegee for a towel
Jenny George says: “I keep a small hand towel on the heated towel rail and at the end of my shower each morning I wash each sheet of glass with a quick hose down to remove any soap (you only have to wash it down from where soap may have landed) then quickly dry it off with the hand towel.
“This is much more effective than a squeegee. It is mostly water drops that mark the glass. About once a month I spray inside the shower glass with a commercial descourer, and then wash it off, and dry with the towel. This is what was recommended by the glass installer. My shower glass looks brand new and I constantly get comments from friends about how good it looks.”
Jill Robinson says: “We have had a glass shower door for at least fifteen years, and it is brilliant. We clean it each week with a glass cleaner, and wipe it dry after each use, and it still looks like new. Much, much better than a shower curtain!”
Invest in a window vac
Caroline Jones says that her top tip for keeping a glass shower door clean is to “use a window vac, it's better than a squeegee.”
Clean with baking soda...
Jones also recommends cleaning the glass with baking soda. “While using the shower make a thick paste of baking soda and rub it over the door. Bare hands work best as you can feel where the dirt is. Then simply wash it off.”
...or with meths...
“I use purple methylated spirits, sprayed onto the glass shower door and wiped with a soft cloth. It works great and have been using this method for years. Have never had water stains on the glass,” says Colleen Clyne.
“A squeegee will work fine. Once a week give it a good clean with either glass cleaner or methylated spirits. Meths is a fantastic cleaner,” says Scott.
...or with sugar soap
Roger Whittaker says: “There is no need to use expensive cleaning products to clean showers, I find sugar soap is as good as anything, a small amount in a bucket of warm water using a sponge or cleaning cloth cleans the whole shower including glass panels/shower doors. This is the same product painters and decorators use to clean paint, or prep walls before hanging wallpaper.”
Try glass protectors
“We built a new house 13 years ago and have a large glass walk in shower as well as an enclosed one, and I treated the glass with a product from Mitre 10 called C-thru Shower Shield. You wipe it on when the glass is clean and are supposed to redo if you do a thorough clean, but I've only done it a couple of times since doing it originally.
“After you have a shower, just use the shower wand and hose it down to get rid of any soap residue. No need to squeegee! The glass comes up really sparkling if you clean with a glass cleaner every so often,” says Sue McKenzie.
Take soap-free showers
“The very best way is to never use soap when showering. If you do, you will get soap scum build up on all the glass. You should use 100% ‘soap-free’ shower gel. You will be amazed at how much cleaner the glass will stay if you adopt this very simple habit!” says Jenny.

A series of odd coincidences linking Diana, Princess of Wales to Meghan Markle and Meghan's daughter Lilibet Diana have been spotted by obsessed Royal fans. Lilibet Diana, the second child of Meghan and Prince Harry was named in honour of his mother and grandmother.
Now podcasters have spotted a weird link between Diana, and Lilibet's date and location of birth. Lilibet was born in a southern California hospital on June 4, 2021. The birth came 25 years to the day that Diana visited Northwestern University in Chicago, Illinois on June 4, 1996.
And the location is also a match as three years after Diana's visit - an 18-year-old Meghan enrolled at the same university as a student, reports the Star.
The hosts of the Royally Obsessed podcast were among those stunned to discover this, with commentator Roberta Fiorito saying: “25 years ago to the day that Lili was born, Diana visited Northwestern, which we know is Meghan’s alma mater. It’s just getting eerie. It’s scary.”
Co-host Rachel Bowie was also shocked by the striking coincidence and agreed that lining-up of dates was "just eerie".
Diana’s 1996 trip was primarily to raise money for the university's Robert H Lurie Cancer Centre, which is considered to be one of the country’s leading research facilities. After the visit, the princess was sometimes spotted wearing a Northwestern sweater, which became part of her gym wear. | https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/royal-fans-spot-weird-link-24170749 | 2022-06-08T07:10:16Z | https://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/uk-news/royal-fans-spot-weird-link-24170749 | true | 2 |

Christian Vazquez’s one-out single in the 10th inning drove home Trevor Story from second base to lift the Boston Red Sox to a 6-5 victory over the Los Angeles Angels Tuesday night in Anaheim, Calif.
The Red Sox registered their sixth consecutive win, while the Angels took their 13th loss in a row, setting a single-season club record. The Angels also lost 13 straight when they dropped the final 12 games of the 1988 season and the 1989 opener.
The game was the first for Angels interim manager Phil Nevin, who took over for manager Joe Maddon, fired earlier in the day. To make matters worse for Los Angeles, center fielder Mike Trout had to leave the game in the third inning due to a left groin tightness.
The Red Sox rallied from a 5-3 deficit with single runs in the sixth and seventh innings, sending the game to extra innings. Story began the 10th inning on second base as the designated runner, and one out later, Vazquez’s single to right field off Jaime Barria drove home the game-winner.
Matt Strahm pitched the bottom of the 10th for Boston. He struck out Jared Walsh and Max Stassi, then got pinch hitter Kurt Suzuki on a grounder to shortstop, stranding designated runner Jo Adell at second base to end it and earn his second save.
Tanner Houck (4-3) pitched a scoreless ninth inning to get the win over Barria (1-1).
The Angels took the lead against Red Sox starter Garrett Whitlock in the first inning when Shohei Ohtani doubled with one out and Trout followed with a two-run homer.
It was Trout’s 14th home run of the season and first since May 28.
The Red Sox responded with three runs in the top of the second inning against Angels starter Jose Suarez, benefitting from seeing-eye ground balls that found holes through the defensive shift.
In the inning, Boston got a double from Story, an infield single by Alex Verdugo, a walk by Vazquez, a run-scoring forceout from Christian Arroyo and RBI singles by Brian Dalbec and Enrique Hernandez. Suarez escaped further damage by getting Rafael Devers to hit into an inning-ending double play, keeping the Angels’ deficit at 3-2.
The Angels tied the game in the bottom of the second, getting singles by Juan Lagares and Tyler Wade, followed by an error by the first baseman Dalbec on a grounder by Andrew Velazquez that allowed Lagares to score.
Stassi had an RBI double in the third and Adell added an RBI double in the fifth to put the Angels up 5-3.
However, the Red Sox rallied to tie the game at 5-5, getting a run-scoring single from Dalbec in the sixth and a run-scoring infield single from Story in the seventh.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KTXL) — Democrat Rob Bonta holds the lead in early returns in the attorney general primary election and could face Republican Nathan Hochman, the candidate endorsed by the GOP, in the November general election, according to the Associated Press.
Bonta had an early lead with about 57% of the votes after the polls closed and Hochman trailed him at just above 17%.
A little before 10:00 p.m., independent candidate Anne Marie Schubert conceded the race after early results showed that she was in the last two of the five candidates.
The attorney general is the top prosecutor in the state, is in charge of enforcing the laws of the state, and was established in the California Constitution.
The position has frequently been used as a means to reach a higher position in state and federal government. Xavier Becerra was attorney general before resigning in order to take a position in President Joe Biden’s administration as Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Kamala Harris was attorney general for several years before being elected U.S. Senator. Previous governors Jerry Brown in 2010 and George Deukmejian in 1978 were also attorneys general for the state directly before being elected governor. However, Brown had already been governor in the 70s and 80s.
Rob Bonta is the only Democrat in the race for attorney general and is running in his first statewide election after being appointed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in March 2021 after Xavier Becerra’s departure.
In 2012, Bonta was elected to the state Assembly, where he authored laws that reduced the use of state prisons and regulated the legal sale of cannabis in the state.
Hochman is a native Californian and longtime Los Angeles attorney and has also been an Assistant U.S. Attorney General with the U.S. Department of Justice. Hochman received an endorsement from the state Republican party.
He has said in interviews that some state criminal statutes make it difficult for police and prosecutors to enforce the law and that his experience as both a prosecutor and defense lawyer will serve him well in the position of attorney general.

No end in sight to holiday nightmare: Airlines 'resign themselves to summer of chaos' and Heathrow boss warns of 18 MONTHS of misery – as passengers face more mayhem today with huge queues and bag collection in 'disarray'
- Ministers faced growing calls last night to bring in tougher penalties for airlines who overbook their routes
- MPs want CAA to be handed more powers after no action taken against airlines despite weeks of cancellations
- Furious passengers have reported more mayhem on Wednesday, including hours-long queues at security
- Have you been caught up in the travel chaos? Email me at laurence.dollimore@mailonline.co.uk
Fed-up holidaymakers have reported 'horrendous' queues and 'absolute chaos' at airports this morning, as staffing issues and cancelled flights continue to cause travel misery for thousands of sun-starved Brits hoping for a post-pandemic break.
'Massive' queues, hours-long waits at security and cancelled flights were reported at the likes of Manchester and Gatwick, with travellers branding the situation 'shameful.'
It comes as ministers were last night urged to bring in tougher penalties for airlines which overbook routes, while the boss of Heathrow warned of 18 months of air disruption.
And the bedlam is only set to get worse if hundreds of members of the GMB and Unite unions - including check-in and ground operation staff for British Airways - go on strike this summer.
A ballot on industrial action is penned for June 23 - the same week the militant Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) is set to organise three days of national rail strikes which threaten to bring the country to a standstill, adding to fears of a 'summer of discontent.'
Meanwhile, an aviation source told the Times that airlines were 'resigning themselves' to the chaos, saying they were 'baking in cancellations and giving notice where possible', adding: 'It's not going to wash in the long term.'
One passenger shared a picture from Manchester Airport's Terminal 1 this morning, showing a huge check-in queue at 3am, before claiming it took more than two hours to get through security.
A video also showed a baggage belt in complete 'disarray', with luggage overflowing and cases seen strewn across the floor.

Passengers also reported 'massive queues' at Terminal 2, describing the scenes as 'dreadful' due to 'poor ventilation', while another claimed that at one point just one man was working at passport control, with more than 600 waiting to have their documents checked.
At London Gatwick, passengers claimed they were left to 'fend for themselves' after waiting almost two hours for a Wizzair flight that was cancelled. 'Shocking doesn't cover it,' one fumed on Twitter.
Another branded the travel hub 'shameful' for having just two border staff working 'the main UK queue' at around midnight last night.
It came as ministers were facing growing calls last night to bring in tougher penalties for airlines which overbook flights, as the boss of Heathrow warned of 18 months of air disruption.
MPs called for regulator the Civil Aviation Authority to be handed greater powers to crack down on 'cowboy' carriers.
The CAA has so far taken no action against airlines despite weeks of cancellations and thousands of passengers being left stranded abroad in recent days.
And John Holland-Kaye, CEO of Heathrow Airport, claimed it 'will take 12 to 18 months for the aviation sector to fully recover capacity'.
He told the Financial Times: 'What we saw in some airports over the past few weeks is that supply and demand were out of balance... we need to make sure we are planning much better.'

Transport Secretary Grant Shapps suggested last night that beefing up the CAA's powers was an option.
He said: 'It's galling to see passengers stranded abroad due to operators selling flights they cannot deliver.
'I've met with the sector to express my concerns... and have made clear this cannot be tolerated.
'We have also run a consultation on consumer rights issues, including additional powers for the CAA, and will publish a response on this in due course.'
BA travellers face more chaos as the GMB union is balloting members on a strike over pay.
Heathrow check-in staff and ground handlers took ten per cent pay cuts in the pandemic and are demanding they be reversed. The ballot closes on June 23, and they could walk out from July.
Nadine Houghton, a GMB officer, told the Times: 'Staff at Heathrow have been verbally and physically abused by angry passengers after British Airways staff shortages and IT failures nearly brought the airport to a standstill.
'On top of that, they had their pay slashed during BA's callous fire and rehire policy. Now they want that money back. Bosses have had it back. Heathrow ground and check in staff want to know why they haven't had it too.'
EasyJet cancelled another 80 flights yesterday. BA axed a further 118, but it stressed these were removed from its schedules weeks ago with people re-booked on to other planes. Tui is axing six flights a day from Manchester until the end of the month.

MPs said ministers should look at giving the CAA the ability to impose multi-million-pound fines.
Tory Karl McCartney said 'firmer action' is needed, adding: 'Given the high pay of executives and profit levels, on-the-spot large fines could work.'
Sarah Olney, the Liberal Democrats' transport spokesman, added: 'We need urgent action to address this cowboy behaviour from airlines.'
Tim Alderslade, CEO of trade body Airlines UK, said the 'vast majority' of flights are 'operating normally', adding: 'We continue to work around the clock to resolve the issues.'
At present, the CAA can't impose fines for breaches of consumer rights, and beefing up its powers would likely require primary legislation being brought before Parliament.
The industry has called for aviation workers to be added to the shortage occupation list to alleviate the staff shortage, making it easier to recruit 'cheap' foreign labour from Europe.
Julia Lo Bue-Said, chief executive of Advantage Travel Partnership, described the situation for those who have had flights cancelled as 'hideous and disappointing.'
She said: 'About 30 per cent of all calls our members are receiving now are from customers that are reading the headlines, have bookings for July and August in the school holidays, and they are worried.'
It comes as bookings are outnumbering pre-pandemic levels, with the number of Brits jetting off for half-term breaks last week being 21 per cent higher than in 2019.
According to Bue-Said, summer holiday bookings are currently at 80 per cent of pre-Covid levels.
She added: 'The significant surge has created a bottleneck in the system. The industry is now working really hard to make sure that over the next few weeks we are building resilience and scaling up as much as we can from a workforce point of view to meet customer demand and, frankly, give them a much better experience in some cases than they're experiencing.' | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10895503/No-end-sight-holiday-nightmare-airlines-resign-summer-chaos.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | 2022-06-08T07:43:32Z | https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10895503/No-end-sight-holiday-nightmare-airlines-resign-summer-chaos.html?ns_mchannel=rss&ito=1490&ns_campaign=1490 | true | 2 |

‘Outrageous’ allegations aired in ex-One Nation and United Australia Party senator Brian Burston’s defamation case
An ex-senator who reported a female staff member to police hoped she “got a good lashing” and complained about her sex life, a court has been told.
A former Australian senator told a female staff member that he hoped she “got a good lashing”, complained about her sex life and reported her to police for allegedly stealing a painting she gave him as a gift, a court has been told.
Details of Brian Burston’s dispute with the former staffer came to light after he sued One Nation party leader Pauline Hanson, alleging she defamed him on social media and by airing sexual harassment complaint allegations.
Mr Burston, 74, returned on Wednesday to the Federal Court witness box where he was subject to questioning about his treatment of former staff.
Ms Hanson’s barrister Sue Chrysanthou SC told the court that as a form of payback, in December 2018 Mr Burston called an employment review meeting and raised concerns about how his former staffer Terrie-Lea Vairy had consumed alcohol at a previous event.
“She rejected your advances and you were paying her back … you found out she had a relationship with Senator (Peter) Georgiou … you concocted trumped-up allegations against her and this was one of them,” Ms Chrystanthou said.
Mr Burston denied Ms Chrystanthou’s claims and alleged his former One Nation Senate colleague Peter Georgiou had complained about Ms Vairy making contact while intoxicated.
In the month after the employment review meeting, the court was told that Mr Burston reported Ms Vairy to police about the theft of rings that were stolen in September 2018.
“My mother-in-law was robbed of her jewellery while she slept in her house,” Mr Burston explained.
“Terri-Lea brought in a set of rings and said ‘are these the rings stolen?’”
Mr Burston denied the suggestion the police report was an attempt to discredit Ms Vairy and said he never reported the theft earlier because “it was a busy time of the year”.
Ms Vairy’s conduct is not the subject of legal proceedings and News Corp does not suggest she has engaged in any wrongdoing.
“I never tried to discredit any of my staff,” Mr Burston told the court.
After Ms Vairy disputed the concerns Mr Burston expressed in the employment review meeting, the court was told that her employment was threatened and she went on stress leave.
Mr Burston then made another report to police about the alleged removal of a painting and plates from his office.
“She (Ms Vairy) gave it to me and said ‘here’s a painting, nobody likes it in the office’,” Mr Burston said.
“It was an oil painting of a forestscape, if I can put it that way, full of trees.
“She said these (plates) have been sitting around for ages, you can have them too.
Mr Burston said the painting was “badly damaged” and he used $456 of taxpayers’ money to get it reframed.
“The ownership, in my view, changed and I spent commonwealth money to have them reframed specifically to display in the office.,” he said.
“She (Ms Vairy) actually helped me select the frame. She stole commonwealth property.”
Ms Chrysanthou said “after you sent her (Ms Vairy) a letter threatening her employment and making allegations about her, she took those items back … you are a disgraceful employer”.
Mr Burston hit back at that suggestion and said he treated his staff with respect.
“They had a great employment lifestyle arrangement with me,” he told the court.
In a claim Ms Vairy later made with Comcare, the national workers’ compensation authority, the court was told Mr Burston was alleged to have told her “he hoped I got a good lashing”.
“I recall that was in response to going to a beautician for eyelash extensions, that’s just my warped sense of humour,” Mr Burston explained.
A claim he sent Ms Vairy messages with repeated references to hugs and kisses was also denied by Mr Burston, who suggested the word “repeatedly” meant excessively.
“I did that at a time when Ms Vairy was going through a very dark period,” he said.
A message saying “I love you” was also sent by Mr Burston around the same time, the court was told.
Another claim by Ms Vary – who suggested Mr Burston gave her a birthday card and when she tried to hang it back he tried to shove it down her top – was also denied and the court was told Ms Vairy’s Comcare claim was dismissed.
“I never give cards on special occasions, not even birthdays, as they are a waste of money,” Mr Burston told the court.
In response to the issues raised in Ms Vairy’s Comcare claim, Mr Burston told the court he believed she continually flirted with him because he was sent a photo of her with other women that had a caption underneath it that said “Charlie’s Angels … Brian’s angels”.
“I take that as a flirting gesture,” he said.
No other examples of alleged flirting were mentioned in court.
The court was told that after Mr Burston had reported Ms Vairy to police he sent a letter to a senior staff member at the Department of Finance.
“I am concerned about her state of mind,” he wrote in the letter, which the court was told also included references to Ms Vairy allegedly drinking heavily throughout the day and constantly phoning Senator Hanson’s office in a state of distress.
The court was told the letter Mr Burston wrote also contained a complaint that alleged Ms Vairy and the then Senator Georgiou were having sex “between their taxpayer funded apartments”.
Mr Burston said he could not recall referring to another staff member as a “numb nut” or smearing blood on Senator Hanson’s office door, but he accepted CCTV showed him doing that.
The court was told that during Mr Burston’s three years in the Senate four of his staffers resigned, four were sacked and another two never made it beyond probationary periods.
Mr Burston said Senator Hanson’s comments about him and the sexual harassment allegations were “outrageous”.
“I’ve never been investigated for sexual harassment,” he said.
Mr Burston claimed Senator Hanson sexually harassed him.
He quit One Nation in mid-2018 and became a member of Clive Palmer’s United Australia Party.
The hearing continues.

Bob Lancia, US Congress candidate for Rhode Island, has said that the United States’ failed exit from Afghanistan had much to do with not having India as a partner. The former Navy chaplain has expressed that ‘things could have gone differently’ had America partnered with India during its withdrawal from Afghanistan. The Republican politician said that US would have to depend on “unreliable and double game playing Pakistan”, if Balochistan was independent and if Gilgit-Baltistan was in India.
Bob Lancia is a member of the Republican party and a former Member of the Rhode Island House of Representatives. He is contesting in the elections for the United States House of Representatives elections scheduled in November this year from Rhode Island,
As Col. Ralph Peters pointed out in his Congressional testimony, that I previously shared, an independent Balochistan would have provided the US direct access to Afghanistan for supplying our troops without having to rely on Pakistan who was obviously playing a double game, (2/4)
— Bob Lancia (@BobLancia) June 7, 2022
Bob Lancia took to Twitter to focus on India’s strategic location and geopolitical prowess as a player in ensuring the interests of South Asia on the global map. He said that if Balochistan was an independent country, US could have used it for supplying US forces in Afghanistan instead of depending on Pakistan. Lancia wrote, “As Col. Ralph Peters pointed out in his Congressional testimony, an independent Balochistan would have provided the US direct access to Afghanistan for supplying our troops without having to rely on Pakistan who was obviously playing a double game.” It has been testified that arms supplied by the US for Afghanistan could be used by Pakistan’s internal players to create instability in Kashmir.
Bob Lancia added that instead of nurturing Pakistan’s deep pockets an Independent Baloch province would have helped the US to retrieve Afghanistan in the longer run. He said that the US didn’t take much cue from India in analysing the situation. The Republican further said that US toops could have been provided supplies from India also if Gilgit-Baltistan was part of India. He opined, “if the Gilgit-Baltistan region was under the control of India, the US troops in Afghanistan could have received supplies directly from India, a friendly democracy, rather than depending on unreliable and double game playing Pakistan.”
“Indian controlled Gilgit-Baltistan would also be a major blow to America’s number one rival, China, and China’s belts & roads initiative, by denying China direct access to ports on the Arabian Sea,” he wrote. The Gilgit Baltistan region which is currently occupied by Pakistan forces connects the Islamic republic with China, the communist empire with expansionist dreams of its own.
According to Lancia, had the region belonged to India, it would have blocked China’s belt-and-road project directly linking Pakistan. Moreover, this would have helped the US in receiving its military supplies directly in India which were to be used for the Afghan mission.
Indian controlled Gilgit-Baltistan would also be a major blow to America’s number 1 rival, China, and China’s belts & roads initiative, by denying China direct access to ports on the Arabian Sea… (4/4) @ootzchakra @hindupact @VanShar1 @surinderkauldr @Lancia4Congress

Soon after the US started withdrawing its troops from Afghanistan in March 2020, cities after the other started falling under the rule of Talibani terrorists. The Islamic group occupied Kabul on 15th August last year, following capturing major cities in quick succession in weeks before that day. Taliban has taken over most of the provinces in Afghanistan and has established its government over the people. After the US’s murky withdrawal from Afghanistan was complete, President Joe Biden defended it saying that US’s mission in Afghanistan was never about nation-building or creating unified, centralized democracy but was always about preventing a terrorist attack on US soil.
The USA had invaded Afghanistan in 2001 after the 9/11 terrorist attacks by Al Qaeda. The Afghanistan war lasted 20 years with the US finally giving up the country before the Islamist regime of the Taliban. | https://www.opindia.com/2022/06/us-would-have-benefited-if-gilgit-baltistan-was-in-india-balochisatan-was-independent-republican-bob-lancia/ | 2022-06-08T07:54:22Z | https://www.opindia.com/2022/06/us-would-have-benefited-if-gilgit-baltistan-was-in-india-balochisatan-was-independent-republican-bob-lancia/ | false | 1 |

It hasn't been long since Apple unveiled its latest silicon, M2, at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), earlier this week. Now, we are already hearing several talks that suggest Apple will start making a 3nm M2 Pro chip at TSMC, later this year.
According to 9to5Mac, who managed to get a look at research from Jeff Pu of the Haitong Intl Tech Research, Apple will continue with TSMC as its main silicon supplier, and the Taiwanese semi-conductor manufacturing company will reportedly start making advanced M2 Pro chips for Apple, based on a 3nm process.
Also Read: EU agrees single mobile charging port in blow to Apple
Currently, the M2 chip uses the same 5nm node that the M1 was built on. The size of the node is important because smaller the node, the less distance there will be between the transistors on the chip. This will increase performance.
Jeff Pu also believes that Apple's long rumored AR/VR mixed reality headset will be launched in Q2 2023. Pu says that the device will be announced after the Chinese New Year, and into production in February of 2023.

ED seizes Rs 2.85 crore in cash, 1.80 kg of gold during raids on premises of Satyendar Jain and his associates
New Delhi, June 8, 2022
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) said it had seized cash amounting to Rs 2.85 crore and 133 gold coins weighing 1.80 kg in all from unexplained sources during raids conducted on Tuesday at multiple premises belonging to Delhi Health Minister Satyendar Jain, his relatives and his associates in connection with an alleged case of money laundering.
The Delhi Minister was arrested under section 19 of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) on May 30, 2022 and he is presently in ED custody.
Apart from Jain and his wife Poonam Jain, the raids were conducted at the premises linked to his alleged "accommplices" and other persons who had "either directly or indirectly assisted him or participated in the processes of money laundering", a press release from the ED said here on Tuesday.
"During the search various incriminating documents and digital records were seized. The cash amounting to Rs. 2.85 crore and 133 gold coins weighing 1.80 kg in total from unexplained source were found to be secreted in the said premises and were seized under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA)," the release said.
The others whose premises were searched on Tuesday included Ankush Jain, Vaibhav Jain, Naveen Jain and Siddharth Jain (Directors of Ram Prakash Jewellers Pvt Ltd), G S Matharoo (Chairman of Lala Sher Singh Jivan Vigyan Trust which runs Prudence Group of Schools), Yogesh Kumar Jain (Director in Ram Prakash Jewellers Pvt Ltd.), father-in-law of Ankush Jain, and Lala Sher Singh Jivan Vigyan Trust.
"Investigation revealed that one accomplice member of Lala Sher Singh Jivan Vigyan Trust had provided accommodation entries for transfer of land from company beneficially owned by Satyendar Kumar Jain to family members of accomplices in order to alienate the property and to frustrate the process of confiscation," the release said.
The ED had initiated money laundering investigations on the basis of an FIR registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on August 24, 2017 under the Prevention of Corruption Act against Satyendar Jain, his wife Poonam Jain, Ajit Prasad Jain, Sunil Kumar Jain, Vaibhav Jain, son of Ajit Prasad Jain and Ankush Jain, son of Sunil Kumar Jain.
The CBI filed a chargesheet on December 3, 2018 against Satyendar Jain, Poonam Jain, Ajit Prasad Jain, Sunil Kumar Jain, Vaibhav Jain and Ankush Jain wherein it has been stated that Satyendar Jain while holding office as a Minister in the Government of Delhi, during the period 14.02.2015 to 31.05.2017 had acquired assets which are disproportionate to his known sources of income.
The ED had provisionally attached immovable properties worth Rs 4.81 crore belonging to companies beneficially owned and controlled by Satyendar Jain on March 31, 2022.

The reuse of existing coax cable infrastructure is a key example of cost-effective multi-gigabit broadband fiber extension.
LUND, Sweden, KANSAS CITY, Mo., AUSTIN, Texas and SAN RAMON, Calif., June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- PCs for People recently deployed InCoax Networks' fiber access extension technology at Stoneridge Apartments, an affordable housing complex in Pflugerville, a suburb of Austin, Texas.
Stoneridge Apartments is a 256-apartment affordable homes complex spanning across 13 buildings. There are many recreational services and amenities within the complex, such as an outdoor swimming pool, playground area and on-site fitness center. To remain attractive to present and future tenants, something needed to be done to ensure digital inclusion to the families eligible for a lease at Stoneridge. With the primary task to provide low-cost high-speed broadband to all tenants, the property owner looked to the non-profit organization PCs for People for the solution. Like many Multi-Dwelling Units (MDUs) in the United States, fiber cables were not present or prepared for in Stoneridge Apartments' 13 buildings. It immediately became clear that PCs for People needed to think outside the traditional box to make it happen. By deploying fiber to each building and utilizing the existing and fully functional coaxial network, previously used for satellite-TV, PCs for People was able to provide a fiber-like broadband performance to the tenants.
"InCoax's MoCA Access TM 2.5 based fiber access extension technology provides the tenants with the symmetric gigabit network connectivity they need for schoolwork, communicating with healthcare and community services, and the ability to work from home or apply for jobs remotely. Other activities, such as keeping contact with friends and family, do online shopping, streaming, and gaming, are of course also important for the overall quality of life," detailed PCs for People's Executive Director Tom Esselman.
PCs for People is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization focused on digital inclusion by providing low-cost computers and delivering affordable broadband connectivity to the homes of low-income families. Founded more than twenty years ago, it has distributed over 180,000 refurbished computers and it now has more than 70,000 customers connected to low-cost Internet. Tasked with delivering community-wide and in-home wireless high-speed broadband to Stoneridge Apartments with a limited budget, PCs for People needed to look beyond traditional Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) deployments to solve the problem. It found the solution halfway around the world, through Swedish company InCoax Networks, that shares its mission to provide cost-effective high-speed multi-gigabit networking solutions for streaming, working, and remote learning.
"We are impressed with the performance and how well the InCoax system offers a perfect tie-in with our mission to support digital inclusion and provide connectivity to all households regardless of income," Esselman continued. "Efforts such as ours are essential today, where it is increasingly difficult to function in society without the best possible technologies and high-speed Internet connectivity. I'm told the building complex upgrade has had a remarkable impact on decreasing apartment vacancy rate, which has plunged from 50% to less than 11%."
Early in the deployment process, PCs for People evaluated using the most advocated technology - fiber to every apartment. An all-fiber solution proved to be too expensive. Preliminary calculations showed an average in-building total installation cost drop from $440 per apartment with fiber, to $125 per apartment by reusing Stoneridge Apartments' existing coaxial cabling infrastructure.
Through partnering with PCs for People, Stoneridge Apartments now has symmetrical high-speed Internet access of 1 Gbps, thanks to PCs for People's application of InCoax Networks' MoCA Access™ 2.5 fiber access system.
Installation details
The new incoming underground trunk fiber was extended through a centrally located fiber switch to each of the 13 apartment buildings. InCoax MoCA Access™ 2.5 Control Units were mounted in the buildings' 13 outdoor wall cabinets where the coax cable networks originate. The fiber and coax networks were connected to the Control Units to extend the high-performance broadband capabilities to each apartment. InCoax's MoCA AccessTM 2.5 modems and apartment routers allow Internet access through Wi-Fi in all apartments and social areas. The system is managed by the InCoax Manage software.
"The installation of InCoax technology acts as an expedient and cost-effective solution to the global MDU broadband access challenge of how to deploy high-speed multi-gigabit fiber broadband. InCoax is delighted with the successful deployment working with PCs for People on behalf of Stoneridge Apartments. This deployment has improved the quality of day-to-day life for tenants and demonstrated that re-using existing coax infrastructure and MoCA AccessTM can be a key complement to fiber in bringing gigabit and multi-gigabit networking to any MDU," InCoax's Head of Marketing, Sales and Product Management, Helge Tiainen said.
MoCA® is a global member-driven, non-profit trade association that develops the multi-gigabit broadband coax connectivity standards used in this application. MoCA members provide multi-gigabit coax connectivity products and services for Internet, voice, and video to homes and businesses worldwide.

Keep your phone notifications on, Samantha's texts will return to And Just Like That! Showrunner Michael Patrick King told Variety that the character's phone communication from season one will reappear in the second season of his Sex and the City reboot.
King and his writers relied on texting to keep Kim Cattrall's character after she did not return to the show. The strategy was hailed as an innovative approach to a difficult situation, and though the writers only recently began work on the second season, Samantha’s texts were one of the few details King would confirm unequivocally.
Cattrall walked the red carpet at Variety's 2022 Power of Women event last month, where she spoke with ET and shared a message for SATC fans who were disappointed that she wouldn't be returning.
"I think the character of Samantha was awakened 25 years ago and she will live forever," Cattrall reflected. "She's your best friend, and she's someone who will tell you the truth. Because she's been there and done that."
"I love her so much," she added. "But she lives in a time and a place, and I honor that."
When she received the honor later that evening, Cattrall took the moment to share how important the word "no" has been in both her personal and professional life, as referenced in her decision to walk away from the SATC franchise.
"Saying no to the past is saying yes to your future," Cattrall said in her speech. "Because, ultimately, you are the screenwriter in the movie of your own life."
Earlier this month, Sarah Jessica Parker also broke her silence on Cattrall's exit and the fight that has since been rumored between both women. According to Parker, the media-dubbed "catfight" between them dates all the way back to 2017 in the midst of a possible third SATC film. That third film never happened, and it all "fell apart" due to contractural demands that weren't met after Cattrall made demands with the studio.
"There were just a lot of public conversations about how she felt about the show," Parker told The Hollywood Reporter. "I just want to say one thing, because you've allowed me this opportunity: it's so painful for people to keep talking about this 'catfight' -- a 'fight,' a 'fight,' a 'fight.' I've never uttered fighting words in my life about anybody that I've worked with -- ever," she said.
"There is not a 'fight' going on. There has been no public dispute or spat or conversations or allegations made by me or anybody on my behalf. I wouldn't do it. That is not the way I would have it. So I just wish that they would stop calling this a 'catfight' or an 'argument,' because it doesn't reflect [reality]. There has been one person talking."

A £6.25m gateway project could create hundreds of new jobs at MIRA Technology Park. The site, based in Nuneaton, is set to get a new gateway onto the huge site, which will pave the way for new buildings.
The new road infrastructure will open up the next major phases of land earmarked for future development under MIRA Technology Park's (MTP's) £300m North Side masterplan. This, says the Leicester and Leicestershire Enterprise Partnership (LLEP), will lead to more companies being able to move in, creating what could be hundreds of new jobs.
The £6.25m will be used to create new infrastructure, such as new roads, so that the site can be opened up. Works are set to begin later this year, subject to planning permission, and will immediately unlock development sites for new buildings scheduled for completion in late 2023.

LLEP Interim Chair Andy Reed OBE said: “By funding work on the MIRA site, the LLEP is helping to provide infrastructure to open up large areas of new development land. This is important because the existing infrastructure is not adequate for supporting such growth.
“The investment will further the development of a growing mobility cluster at the cutting edge of technology and will lead to more high-tech jobs.” MTP has been operating as an enterprise zone since April 2013.
The zone was expanded after three years. It is the only transport sector-focused enterprise zone in the UK and is home to more than 35 automotive-related companies.
While the funding for the replacement gateway has been provided by LLEP, the impact of the changes are set to be felt in Nuneaton. Residents from across the town work at MTP and more could follow once the new jobs become available.

Mumbai: Reserve Bank of India (RBI) on Wednesday raised the interest rate by 50 basis points to a two-year high of 4.9 per cent as it doubled down to tame inflation that has surged in the last couple of months.
The rate hike comes on the back of a 40 bps increase effected by RBI at an unscheduled meeting on May 4.
All the six members of the Monetary Policy Committee (MPC), headed by RBI Governor Shaktikanta Das, unanimously voted for the latest rate hike.
Consumer Price Index (CPI) based inflation, which RBI factors in while arriving at its monetary policy, galloped for the seventh straight month to touch an 8-year high of 7.79 per cent in April.

RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav was fined Rs 6,000 by a court in Jharkhand's Palamu district today for violating the model code of conduct during the 2009 assembly elections in the state.
Appearing in the court of judge Satish Kumar Munda, Lalu Prasad Yadav confessed and accepted that he violated the model code of conduct.
Judge Munda imposed a fine of Rs 6,000, which was deposited on behalf of Lalu Yadav.
Subsequently, the matter was disposed of.
While campaigning for the 2009 assembly elections, Lalu Prasad Yadav's chopper had landed in a paddy field in Garhwa allegedly owing to the mistake of the pilot instead of the helipad in Medininagar.
A case under IPC sections 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant), 279 (rash driving or riding on a public way), 290 (punishment for public nuisance), 291 (whoever repeats or continues a public nuisance) and 34 (acts done by several persons in furtherance of common intention), and section 127 of Representation of People's Act that deals with disturbances at election meetings.
Lalu Prasad Yadav's counsel Prabhat Kumar said the case was later transferred to Ranchi and then to Medininagar.
The supporters of the former Bihar chief minister, who gathered outside the court, welcomed the verdict and garlanded their leader.
RJD's Palamu district unit president Ramnath Chandravanshi said Lalu Prasad Yadav will soon leave for Patna.
Sub-divisional police officer (SDPO) Surjit Kumar said tight security arrangements were made for Prasad in the court. Traffic was regulated in the area.
Lalu Prasad Yadav had arrived in Medininagar, the district headquarters of Palamu, on Monday for appearing before the court. During his stay at the circuit house, a fan in his room caught fire but was swiftly doused by his aides in a close shave for the 73-year-old leader.

Prime Minister’s ICT affairs adviser Sajeeb Wazed Joy has said the seed of the ultimate freedom of Bangalees was sown through the six-point demand in 1966, a milestone in the nation’s long struggle towards liberation.
The six-point charter, raised by Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, was the foundation pillar of the Bengali nation’s movement for their rights, he said in a Facebook post from his verified account on Tuesday.
“It was the instrument of freedom for Bengalis. A victim of prolonged persecution, injustice, and indiscrimination, the nation got a new direction through the six-point movement,” he wrote in his Facebook post that accompanied a web link of an article titled “Six-Point Demands: Roadmap for Bangladesh’s Emancipation.”
On March 18, 1966, a booklet titled, “The demand for our existence: six-point initiative”, attributed to Bangabandhu, was circulated in a conference of the Awami League council, Joy wrote. Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman toured districts to drum up support for the initiative.
On June 7, 1966, a countrywide strike was enforced to realize the six-point movement. Police and EPR fired bullets and beat protesters indiscriminately.
Eleven Bangalees, including Monu Mia, Shafique, and Shamsul, in Tongi, Dhaka, and Narayanganj embraced martyrdom, a sacrifice compelling the nation to observe the day as the ‘Six-Point Day’.
Alarmed at the successful strike of June 7, then military dictator Ayub Khan hatched another conspiracy to hang Bangabandhu by implicating him in the Agartala conspiracy case. But, the historic 1969-mass uprising foiled all these schemes, according to Joy’s Facebook post.
He encouraged his followers on Facebook to read the entire article to equip themselves with the knowledge of the six-point movement – from its inception to execution and pass the undistorted history to the young generation. | http://bangladeshchronicle.net/six-point-demand-sowed-the-seed-of-ultimate-freedom-in-1966-joy/ | 2022-06-08T08:26:53Z | http://bangladeshchronicle.net/six-point-demand-sowed-the-seed-of-ultimate-freedom-in-1966-joy/ | false | 2 |

Better monitoring needed of police body camera compliance: Auditor-General
By Erin Pearson
At almost one-in-10 incidents that Victorian police were called to over one month of last year, at which they were required to turn on their body-worn cameras, none of the officers did.
A report by the state Auditor-General’s Office has found that unless Victoria Police begins actively monitoring why cameras are not being activated in some cases, “missed opportunities” would likely occur in improving public safety.
The report, tabled in parliament on Wednesday, called on police to better monitor the use of its body-worn camera footage, finding the force had appropriate policies for the cameras but was failing to consistently track how all officers used them.
It says police officers did not properly comply with rules requiring body-worn camera footage at one-in-six callouts during March 2021, activating their cameras at only 83.6 per cent of cases. But it makes the point that as police often work in groups of two or more, footage was recorded by at least one officer, at 90 per cent of incidents that require a recording.
Victoria Police began using body-worn cameras, which are attached to an officer’s ballistics vest and turned on manually, in 2017 following recommendations from the Royal Commission into Family Violence.
More than 2.8 million recordings have been captured since the cameras’ introduction. Police policy requires officers to activate the devices while exercising their powers. Audio and video recordings can then be used as evidence in court proceedings and to help resolve complaints against officers.
The Auditor-General’s report showed in 16.4 per cent of incidents in March 2021, an officer’s camera had not been switched on. In 9.9 per cent of cases, no video or audio recordings were captured from an incident from any member at all.
Because Victoria Police is not consistently tracking the use of the recording devices, the report found the force was unaware of how compliant police officers were in activating their cameras.
“While body-worn cameras present many opportunities for police to improve how they interact with the public and gather evidence, they also come with risks. Unmanaged, these risks can undermine a police force’s integrity and accountability to the public,” the report said.
Robinson Gill principal lawyer Jeremy King, who specialises in police misconduct, said while the report was well-intentioned, it lacked critical information and only analysed data from one month.
He said the report didn’t include how long the devices were turned on for or what sanctions were in place for members who failed to activate them.
“Cameras have been around for a long time in police stations, and cells, and divvy vans, and touted as a method of accountability, but in reality, we’ve never seen having cameras in those places change the way police behave,” he said.
Police Association secretary Wayne Gatt said despite the new technology being introduced as a family violence investigation tool following the 2016 royal commission, the report indicated it was failing to achieve that purpose.
The report also said that reviewing body-worn camera footage had become a “burden” on supervisors, with general duties officers telling the police union they were tied up for lengthy periods transcribing records instead of performing other duties.
“They’ve introduced something that might make people who don’t trust the police feel more comfortable, but that’s not what it was designed for,” Gatt said.
Police Minister Lisa Neville said cases in which cameras had not been turned on could include when multiple officers had attended the same incident but some hadn’t played an active role.
She said new training at the police academy aimed to make activating the devices “second nature” for members.
The police minister said she was also aware of three recent family violence court cases where body-worn footage had been produced.
As part of its review, the Auditor-General’s Office made eight recommendations regarding how Victoria Police uses, tracks and captures data from the footage. They include measuring compliance and improving storage for better auditing.
A police spokesman said the force welcomed the review and was always looking for ways to bolster internal oversight.
He said Victoria Police had accepted most of the recommendations but believed it already had sufficient systems in place regarding the others, highlighting that there had been no instances identified where footage had been mishandled.
The failure of some officers to activate their body-worn cameras was raised in the Coroners Court of Victoria in 2020 when investigators revealed a police officer’s device did not capture the moment he shot a man dead in a Melbourne park.
The report can be viewed here.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (Dakota News Now) - Stacker compiled statistics about incarceration demographics in South Dakota according to the Sentencing Project. The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world. Not only that, America also puts more people in prison per capita than in any other independent democracy. Even progressive states with low incarceration rates relative to the rest of the United States have more people in jail than most other places in the developed world. If individual states were counted as countries, many of them would have the highest incarceration rates in the world, ahead of actual entire other countries. | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2624360102328/secretary-of-state-steve-barnett-talks-with-kwat-news-about-tuesday-s-primary-elections-audio | 2022-06-08T08:56:07Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2624360102328/secretary-of-state-steve-barnett-talks-with-kwat-news-about-tuesday-s-primary-elections-audio | true | null |

Manchester City season review: Final-day title triumph soothes more Champions League pain
Pep Guardiola's tears and wild celebrations on the pitch showed just how much it meant for Manchester City to win another Premier League title.
It may be the fourth in five years, but it was yet another gruelling test for City to hold off an incredible challenge from Liverpool.
Way back at the start of the campaign, a summer-long pursuit of Harry Kane following the departure of Sergio Aguero ended in failure.
Editors' Picks
At that point, some felt City were not the obvious favourites among a tough pack of contenders, including Liverpool, European champions Chelsea and last season's runners-up Manchester United, who had been boosted by the arrivals of Cristiano Ronaldo and Jason Sancho.
However, by Christmas, they were well clear and a title race looked unlikely until Liverpool started chipping away at their advantage, finally overtaking them when their games kicked off earlier at the tail end of the season.
Some pundits questioned City's character but they held their nerve in a breathtaking final game, when they scored three goals in six minutes to overturn a 2-0 deficit against Aston Villa to secure another championship in the most dramatic of fashions.
Player of the Season:
More often than not, City's strength lies in the way they all work for a common goal – running hard, playing unselfish passes and keeping their cool is what makes them so effective.
However, sometimes individuals do come to the fore, and it's usually those who have taken a massive step forward after belatedly getting to grips of the demands of Guardiola's taxing football philosophy.
Joao Cancelo is a case in point. He'd been solid since his arrival from Juventus in 2019, but became a star in 2020-21 thanks to his virtuoso displays as an attacking full-back, both on the left and right side of the defence.
The holding midfield role has always been important throughout Guardiola's coaching career and Rodri has now developed into the intelligent, rounded player he demands, stopping danger as well as creating chances.
The Spain international was responsible for some of the biggest moments of the season – an injury-time winner at Arsenal, a stunning late tackle on Fabinho at Anfield and a questionable handball at Everton!
But it's hard to look past Kevin De Bruyne as City's most influential player.
After a difficult start following a painful ankle injury, he grew into the season and by the time he scored four goals at Wolves in a performance for the ages, he was simply unstoppable.
Goal of the Season:
Guardiola says there is no such thing as perfection in football but sometimes his sides go very, very close.
One such example was Bernardo Silva's brilliant goal at Aston Villa when City went from one end of the pitch to the other in six seconds of scintillating, sexy showboating.
Rather than head a Villa cross to safety, Cancelo flicked the ball to Riyad Mahrez. The Algerian audaciously dribbled the ball into his own box, drawing two players before finding a clever pass inside to Fernandinho.
The Brazilian's first-time pass picked out countryman Gabriel Jesus, who looked up before floating a perfect cross into the stride of Bernardo.
Ignoring the obvious option to control the ball, the midfielder boldly side-footed a sumptuous volley from the edge of the box into the top corner, giving Emiliano Martinez no chance.
City at their peerless best, it was just utterly exquisite from start to finish.
Performance of the Season:
There were plenty of big victories that set City up for the narrowest of title triumphs – not least the final-day drama against Villa. But that was Guardiola's side showing their determination rather than their brilliance.
Wins at Chelsea and two draws against Liverpool when they were the better side, showed their qualities against the very best.
But if you want to enjoy the City side showing their style and swagger, the 7-0 victory over Leeds United in mid-December is hard to beat.
Leeds were struggling and two months away from sacking coach Marcelo Bielsa, but the dismantling of the Argentine's team was nonetheless impressively clinical and staggeringly brutal.
De Bruyne, Bernardo and Phil Foden simply had too much quality for Leeds and it was a night that Jack Grealish will want to emulate more often in his second season at the Etihad.
Disappointment of the Season:
While the Premier League trophy was secured, there will be plenty who will say Guardiola is a failure until he delivers the Champions League trophy.
Last season saw them reach the final for the first time and they were on their way to at least match that achievement until a crazy two minutes at the Santiago Bernabeu.
City were the better side over two legs against Real Madrid but the Spanish champions have had an incredible run to claiming the trophy and Guardiola was caught up in the cyclone that powered them to success.
After leading 2-0 inside 11 minutes of the first leg at the Etihad, Real were let off the hook with a 4-3 defeat that gave them hope in the return game.
Still, City were better and a 73rd-minute goal seemed to have finally killed them off for good, with chairman Khaldoon Al-Mubarak revealing that even Real counterpart Florentino Perez had congratulated him.
But Rodrygo struck twice in injury time and, from then on, there was only going to be one winner and Karim Benzema's penalty inflicted a painful exit and another tale of heartbreak for Guardiola and his players.
The Verdict:
To achieve a Premier League trophy without a recognised striker deserves huge credit. To do it ahead of a Liverpool side that went so close to a quadruple deserves even more.
While there are some concerns that City are potentially turning the Premier League into a monopoly, it belittles the quality of their rivals who came so close to stopping them.
European failure is a disappointment for Guardiola and for many players who have chased it for so long and come up short.
But winning one of the two big trophies on offer can never be taken for granted and cannot be seen as anything other than a major achievement. | https://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/manchester-city-season-review-final-day-title-triumph/blt163837fa6cdbb646 | 2022-06-08T09:03:04Z | https://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/manchester-city-season-review-final-day-title-triumph/blt163837fa6cdbb646 | true | 10 |
WASHINGTON (AP) — Nearly a year since its inception, the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol will go public with its findings starting this week as lawmakers hope to show the American public how democracy came to the brink of disaster.
The series of hearings that will take place over the next several weeks begin with a prime-time session Thursday night in which the nine-member panel plans to give an overview of its 11-month investigation. More than 1,000 people have been interviewed by the panel, and only snippets of that testimony have been revealed to the public, mostly through court filings.
What you need to know ahead of the hearing:
WHEN WILL THE HEARING TAKE PLACE?
The first of six hearings is set to go live at 8 p.m. EDT on Thursday. It will take place in a large House office building in the U.S. Capitol complex. Lawmakers plan to have witnesses testify and to display a series of never-before-seen images and exhibits relating to the lead-up to the insurrection and the attack itself.
HOW TO WATCH THE HEARING
Several major networks and cable news programs are expected to carry the first hearing live in its prime-time slot. The committee is also expected to live-stream it on C-SPAN and on its YouTube page.
WHO IS EXPECTED TO TESTIFY?
The select committee has yet to publicly announce who is expected to testify Thursday. But The Associated Press has been able to independently confirm that British filmmaker Nick Quested, who recorded members of the far-right Proud Boys extremist group as they stormed the building, and Caroline Edwards, a U.S. Capitol Police officer who was seriously injured in the attack, will be among the witnesses.
The public hearing, unlike other committee hearings, will be a mixture of traditional testimony as well as a multimedia presentation.
WHAT WILL THE HEARING ENTAIL?
The first hearing is expected to be a table-setter for the rest of the subsequent hearings. The committee, comprised of seven Democrats and two Republicans, plans to lay out several areas of information it has gathered throughout its investigation. Lawmakers are also expected to focus part of the first hearing on far-right extremists who broke into the building that day.
The panel’s probe has so far been divided into a series of focus areas, including the efforts by former President Trump and his allies to cast doubt on the election and halt the certification of President Joe Biden’s victory; the financing and organizing of rallies in Washington that took place before the attack; security failures by Capitol Police and federal agencies; and the actions of the rioters themselves.
WILL THERE BE NEW DETAILS ABOUT THE INSURRECTION?
Several members of the committee have promised new and explosive information to arise from the public hearings, but it remains unclear what that will entail.
The hearings are expected to be exhaustive but not the final word from the committee. It plans to release subsequent reports on its findings, including recommendations on legislative reforms, ahead of the midterm elections.

LONDON (AP) — British Prime Minister Boris Johnson may have survived a no-confidence vote, but his grip on power is far from secure.
Many compare his position to that of his predecessor Theresa May, who won a similar vote by a larger margin than Johnson but was nonetheless ousted six months later.
“The history for prime ministers who survive confidence votes isn’t that great,” said Tim Bale, professor of politics at Queen Mary University of London.
A look at how previous Conservative prime ministers fared after leadership challenges against them:
___
MARGARET THATCHER
Thatcher survived a first leadership challenge in 1989, but a second one the next year spelled her downfall.
In 1989, a little-known lawmaker, Anthony Meyer, launched a challenge against Thatcher, who had been reelected as party leader unopposed every year since 1974. Thatcher won comfortably by 314 votes to 33 but, counting deliberately spoiled ballot papers, about 60 had failed to endorse her — an early indication that her position was shaky.
The next year, former defense secretary Michael Heseltine mounted his own bid to wrest leadership from Thatcher amid serious divisions within the Conservatives.
Thatcher won 204 votes to Heseltine’s 152 in the first round of the leadership election, but the margin wasn’t enough to defeat him outright, forcing a second round.
The “Iron Lady” resigned two days later, and Conservative lawmakers subsequently elected John Major as her successor in a second ballot.
___
JOHN MAJOR
Major took over as Thatcher’s handpicked successor in December 1990.
In June 1995, Major resigned as party leader to force a leadership contest against himself, challenging his party to “put up or shut up” in a bid to quell a persistent group of critics within the Conservative ranks opposed to Britain’s closer integration with the EU.
Major secured a majority of votes in a Conservative leadership contest against rival John Redwood, but a third of the party either voted against him, spoiled their ballot papers or abstained.
Major clung onto power for almost two more years, until the Conservatives lost the 1997 general election in a landslide victory for Labour’s Tony Blair.
___
THERESA MAY
May, who became Britain’s second female prime minister in July 2016, faced severe pressure throughout her tenure over her repeated but ultimately unsuccessful attempts to take Britain out of the European Union.
In December 2018, 48 Conservative lawmakers furious with her Brexit policy triggered a no-confidence vote in her. She won by 200 votes to 117, but the results meant she lost the support of one-third of her lawmakers.
Opposition continued to buffet her leadership and May fought in vain to get lawmakers’ backing to implement the Brexit deal she struck with the EU. Parliament rejected her plan three times, and even previously loyal members of her Cabinet openly criticized her bill.
May was forced to step down in May 2019, saying “it will always remain a matter of deep regret for me” to fail to deliver Brexit.
Bale, the politics professor, believes Johnson is different from Thatcher and May and will not resign voluntarily.
“Many of Boris Johnson’s opponents would say that the only interest he has at heart is his own continuation in the job. So he really will have to be kicked out of Downing Street” by lawmakers, Bale said. | https://www.wytv.com/news/national-world/ap-international/past-uk-conservative-leaders-who-faced-leadership-challenges/ | 2022-06-08T09:05:49Z | https://www.wytv.com/news/national-world/ap-international/past-uk-conservative-leaders-who-faced-leadership-challenges/ | true | 44 |

Richmond have selected teenager Judson Clarke to make his AFL debut in Thursday night's meeting with Port Adelaide.
Clarke is one of three inclusions for the Tigers, who can break into the top eight with a win at the MCG.
Premiership stars Noah Balta and Marlion Pickett return, while spearhead Jack Riewoldt has been named despite spending several nights in hospital last week with a finger injury.
Jason Castagna, Jack Ross and Maurice Rioli have all been dropped from the side that lost a thriller against Sydney before the bye.
Port Adelaide, who need a win to stay within touching distance of the top eight, have left out Sam Hayes and named key forward Jeremy Finlayson in the ruck.
Clarke was Richmond's fifth pick at last year's national draft, taken 30th overall.
The 18-year-old is a hard-running left-footer who has been playing as a midfielder and forward in the Tigers' reserves team.
He has averaged 14.3 disposals and kicked 11 goals in nine VFL games.
Clarke's debut comes in Tigers co-captain Dylan Grimes' 200th game.
"That will be pretty cool to run out with someone in my milestone and their first milestone as well," Grimes said.
Clarke will be Richmond's fourth debutant this season, following Josh Gibcus, Bigoa Nyuon and Noah Cumberland. | https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/afl/tigers-name-stars-debutant-for-port-clash-c-7097676 | 2022-06-08T09:12:48Z | https://www.perthnow.com.au/sport/afl/tigers-name-stars-debutant-for-port-clash-c-7097676 | true | 2 |
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) — Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov is due to hold talks Wednesday with Turkish officials on a plan that could allow Ukraine to export its grain through the Black Sea to global markets amid an escalating food crisis.
Ukraine is one of the world’s largest exporters of wheat, corn and sunflower oil, but the war and a Russian blockade of its ports have halted much of that flow, endangering food supplies to many developing countries. Many of those ports are now also heavily mined.
An estimated 22 million tons of grains are sitting in silos in Ukraine.
Turkey is involved in efforts for the establishment of a U.N.-led mechanism that would create a secure corridor for the shipment of the Ukrainian grain — and for Russia to export food and fertilizer. Turkey would facilitate and protect the transport of the grain in the Black Sea, Turkish officials have said.
A top Russian official said Tuesday that Ukraine needs to remove sea mines near its Black Sea port of Odesa to allow grain exports to resume.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the Russian military would need to check commercial ships taking the grain to make sure they don’t carry weapons. He added that after they are loaded with grain, Russia would help escort the ships to international waters.
Turkish Defense Minister Hulusi Akar said Tuesday that technical details were still being worked out.
“Our efforts are continuing concerning the technical planning on such issues as how it will be done, how the mines will be cleared, who will do it, how the corridor will be established and who will escort (ships),” Akar said.
Lavrov arrived in Turkey days after NATO members Bulgaria, North Macedonia and Montenegro reportedly refused to allow his plane to fly through their airspace to reach Serbia. Lavrov’s plane was able to fly directly to Turkey over the Black Sea.
Lavrov’s discussions in the Turkish capital are also expected to focus on Turkey’s plans to launch a new cross-border offensive in northern Syria against Syrian Kurdish militia that Ankara considers to be a security threat. Turkey needs Moscow’s approval to continue its presence in northern Syria, despite the two supporting opposite sides in Syria’s civil war. In 2020, 37 Turkish soldiers were killed in Russia-backed airstrikes against rebels in Syria’s last rebel-held Idlib province.
“Turkey really needs Russia’s blessing in order to be able to carry on this operation (in Syria.) And so I think they’re really going to try to get that kind of a concession out of the Russian side,” said Merve Tahiroglu, Turkey program coordinator at Project on Middle East Democracy.
Lavrov’s meeting also comes as Turkey — a NATO member — has voiced opposition to Sweden and Finland’s bids to join the alliance. Moscow has also objected to the Nordic countries’ candidacy — which analyst say may play a role in discussions concerning Syria.
Turkey has maintained its close ties to both Ukraine and Russia. It has criticized Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, but hasn’t joined international sanctions against Russia.

The NSW Government has announcement additional funding of $10 million over the next three years to continue the NSW Rural Financial Counselling Service across the state.
Upper Hunter MP Dave Layzell welcomed the extension and said it will allow the Rural Financial Counselling Service (RFCS) to continue offering free, independent financial planning and support.

"The program provides a crucial service to the region, helping producers who are suffering financial hardship to manage their businesses after two years of severe weather events," Mr Layzell said.
"We have rural financial counsellors working at Scone, Singleton, Taree, Tamworth Gunnedah and Mudgee to assist primary producers right across the Hunter Valley, Liverpool Plains and Gloucester region with advice, help and much needed guidance on what government assistance is available."
NSW Minister for Agriculture and Western NSW, Dugald Saunders, said the RFCS has provided farmers, fishers, forestry growers and harvesters who are experiencing, or at risk of, financial hardship with assistance for 30 years.
"There are 50 Rural Financial Counsellors working across the state, who are undertaking immediate and long-term financial planning, succession planning, farm debt mediation and guiding people who need to access to government help," Mr Saunders said.

Chennai Civic Apathy: Car falls into pit in middle of the road, watch video
A state-wise analysis during the year 2013, shows three states and union territories including Tamil Nadu (22.8), Haryana (17.2) and Andhra Pradesh (16.9) facing 50% higher fatality risk than the India average (11.2).
A civic apathy has been reported from Tamil Nadu’s Chennai as a car fell into a pit in the middle of the road. The number of people injured and involved in the incident was not reported till the filing of this report.
However, what deserves more attention is the fact that the incident happened in the capital city of Tamil Nadu. The incident poses an important question on the effective and efficient utilisation of taxes paid by the common public.

It is not the first time that such an incident has happened. Earlier, a man died and two others along with him were injured in March this year when their car fell into a roadside pit at Kariapatti in Virudhunagar, Tamil Nadu.
Another incident happened in the Araria district of Bihar when a few people were returning from Anant Mela and their car skidded off on the way due to rain and plunged into a water-filled pit on the road. All of the five occupants of the car had died in the incident.
A study by Science Direct shows that extreme weather influences the occurrence of road accidents. A state-wise analysis during the year 2013, shows three states and union territories including Tamil Nadu (22.8), Haryana (17.2), and Andhra Pradesh (16.9) facing a 50% higher fatality risk than the India average (11.2).
The same study suggests there has been an alarming increase in accidental deaths on Indian roads over the years. The accidental fatalities have reportedly increased more than 9 times, from 14,500 in 1970 to 137,400 in the year 2013.
If we compare it to 2003, fatalities and injuries in 2013 have increased by 53,000 and 87,000, respectively. From 2003 to 2013, the fatalities have been increasing at a rate of 5% per year. | https://www.firstpost.com/india/chennai-civic-apathy-car-falls-into-pit-in-middle-of-the-road-watch-video-10771461.html | 2022-06-08T09:18:18Z | https://www.firstpost.com/india/chennai-civic-apathy-car-falls-into-pit-in-middle-of-the-road-watch-video-10771461.html | true | 1 |
'Big fat olive on legs' Fern Britton mocks appearance as she admits she misses TV career
FERN BRITTON mocked her appearance as she opened up ITV's Lorraine about missing her TV career.
Fern Britton talks about her first heartbreak
Fern Britton first began her television career in the 1980s and went on to host This Morning from 1999 to 2009. The presenter has since become a bestselling author and joined Lorraine Kelly on her ITV show to discuss her latest novel. However, despite the career change, Fern admitted she still misses live TV as she poked fun at her weight.
Lorraine asked: “You don’t miss any of this live telly malarkey anymore.”
“I do,” Fern replied. “I can’t say I don’t. I loved the job, I just didn’t like all of the attention.”
“I know what you mean,” Lorraine replied. “I so know what you mean.”
Fern continued: “I wouldn’t be able to go on with a stupid scarf and look like a big fat olive on legs, would I? In the olden days it was all different.”

“You look fantastic,” Lorraine complimented. “You are a proper bonafide author that’s what you do now and a bit of telly every now and then.”
Fern joined Lorraine to discuss her latest novel The Good Servant inspired by the Royal Family.
The book is based on Marion Crawford, the former governess to Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret.
Fern explained: “I had it buzzing in my head for at least 11 or 12 years maybe a bit longer.
“Marion Crawford was 22 and she was offered a job by the Duke and Duchess of York, this is 1932.
“The Duke and Duchess of York had two little girls one was called Elizabeth and one was called Margaret and they were never going to be on the throne until Edwards VIII ran off with Mrs Simpson and suddenly our Elizabeth [would become] Queen.
“But Marion Crawford, who the family called Crawfie, was with them through everything I think the Queen was six and Margaret was almost two and she was with them right up until the moment that Princess Elizabeth, Queen Elizabeth, had Charles.”

Fern revealed Marion served the Royal Family “with all her heart” and was “absolutely loyal”.
The governess even delayed her wedding by 14 years because the Queen Mother didn’t want her to leave.
“She went through the war with them, their young years, teenage years, romantic years and then she didn’t resign because they loved her and they wanted her hanging around looking after Margaret,” she continued.
“She was approached to write a book or some articles it was very blurry about the characters of the two little princesses because at that time after the war and the Americans had helped so much America wanted the King and Queen to go to America and express their thanks.”
Fern explained the public in America was “hungry for royal stories”.
“Crawfie got caught up in a web,” she remarked before revealing the book was subsequently published.
“She was cast out of the Royal Family and she didn’t really know until no Christmas card came,” Fern concluded.

(RTTNews) - Swiss drug major Roche Holding AG (RHHBY) announced Wednesday that the European Commission has granted conditional marketing authorisation for the CD20xCD3 T-cell engaging bispecific antibody Lunsumio (mosunetuzumab).
The approval is for the treatment of adult patients with relapsed or refractory or R/R follicular lymphoma or FL who have received at least two prior systemic therapies.
FL is the most common indolent (slow-growing) form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma or NHL, accounting for about one in five cases of NHL. Despite treatment advances, FL is considered an incurable disease and relapse is common, with outcomes worsening on each consecutive treatment.
Lunsumio is the first CD20xCD3 T-cell engaging bispecific antibody available to treat FL. It is a new type of immunotherapy that is a chemotherapy-free, off-the-shelf, fixed-duration treatment option that is readily available, so people do not have to wait to start treatment.
The EU approval is based on the phase I/II GO29781 study, where Lunsumio induced high complete response rates, with the majority of complete responses lasting for at least 18 months in people with heavily pre-treated FL.
Roche noted that a robust development programme for Lunsumio is ongoing including two phase III studies: CELESTIMO, investigating Lunsumio plus lenalidomide in second line plus (2L+) FL, and SUNMO, investigating Lunsumio plus Polivy (polatuzumab vedotin) in 2L+ diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — Vietnam’s health minister and the mayor of the capital Hanoi have been arrested as part of an expanding investigation into massive price gouging of COVID-19 tests, state media reported.
Nguyen Thanh Long was dismissed from his ministry post and Chu Ngoc Anh, who previously was the science minister, was fired as Hanoi mayor, Tuoi Tre online news outlet reported Tuesday. They are being investigated for abuse of power, according to the Ministry of Public Security, and have been expelled from the ruling Communist Party.
An investigation concluded earlier that mismanagement in the science and health ministries had allowed Viet A Technology Corporation to inflate prices for test kits supplied to hospitals and health centers in Vietnam.
Nearly 60 suspects including ministry officials, public health leaders and military generals have been detained or are being investigated for involvement in the price gouging, according to the Ministry of Public Security.
The report said the two officials’ violations had harmed Vietnam’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and were costly to the state budget.
A deputy science minister, Pham Cong Tac, also was arrested Tuesday and accused of violating regulations on managing state assets.
Viet A took in $172 million for supplying its test kits in 62 localities. Its general director was arrested in December and allegedly admitted his Ho Chi Minh City-based company had inflated the selling price of a test kit to about $20, or 45% more than the original, to earn a difference of $21.5 million.
Phan Quoc Viet allegedly confessed to investigators that he paid illegal kickbacks worth $34 million to his state-owned partners who bought his test kits at the inflated prices. | https://www.fox46.com/health-care/vietnams-health-minister-arrested-over-covid-test-gouging/ | 2022-06-08T09:28:24Z | https://www.fox46.com/health-care/vietnams-health-minister-arrested-over-covid-test-gouging/ | true | 43 |
ATLANTA (AP) — A key aide to the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. who helped sustain the civil rights movement in the 1960s says she’s deeply saddened by the hate crimes seeking to terrorize people across America.
But Xernona Clayton has been working for racial harmony since the movement began, and refuses to accept mass killings as routine.
“We’re having too many racial conflicts,” Clayton, 91, told The Associated Press during an interview in her office in Atlanta. “It’s so idiotic that we’ve had that racism in the first place. Because none of us had any say-so about how we got here.”
“My mind always goes back to what Martin Luther King would have said,” she said. “He always said, ‘You know, we CAN love each other.’ He said, ‘There’s just no reason why we can’t.’ And it was hard for him to understand why we don’t.”
King and his wife, Coretta Scott King, recruited Clayton and her first husband, Jet magazine editor Edward Clayton, to bring more money and attention to the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, an Atlanta-based civil rights organization whose first president was King. Already enlisting movie stars to host SCLC fundraisers, Xernona Clayton was reluctant to leave Southern California.
But the two women bonded as Clayton organized Ms. King’s national singing tour. Soon, she was securing care for bloodied protesters and calling her friends Sidney (Poitier), Harry (Belafonte) and Bill (Cosby) for bail money.
In 1966, Clayton learned that Atlanta’s Black doctors were restricted to one facility, Grady Hospital, and to just one day a week. “Wednesday was the day Black people would have their babies,” she recalled. “So I organized the doctors and told them, ‘We can do something about this.’”
She found a government ally who shared how much federal money was flowing to Atlanta’s segregated hospitals and took the doctors to Washington, scoring a White House visit. President Lyndon Baines Johnson had quietly encouraged such grassroots lobbying, and surprised her by insisting that hospitals nationwide had to desegregate before getting Medicare funding.
“I’m fearless, for the most part. You know, I’m not afraid to tackle an issue,” Clayton said. “I’ll fight for what is right.”
In an era when national news organizations — including the AP — covered civil rights with all-white staffs, her friend Ralph McGill, publisher of the Atlanta Constitution, had her speak to a television industry convention. She took them to task for their hiring. Atlanta’s CBS affiliate WAGA responded in 1967 by making her the first Black talk show host in the South.
While King’s assassination only months later convulsed the nation, Clayton and her guests provided audiences with a model for racial harmony. She even persuaded a Grand Dragon of the Ku Klux Klan to renounce the white terror organization. They too became friends.
Barbara Walters recruited her for a network role, but Ted Turner hired her instead to set a tone of inclusiveness at Turner Broadcasting Service, which launched CNN. She served for years as Turner’s corporate vice president for urban affairs.
Clayton also started the Trumpet Foundation to celebrate African American achievers, and still works there amid mementos from a lifetime of activism when she’s not with her second husband, Paul L. Brady, the nation’s first Black federal administrative law judge. Her first husband died in 1966.
Clayton got her start as an “undercover agent” for the Chicago Urban League in the early 1950s, arranging job interviews only to be turned down when they saw her skin color. Confronted with proof of racism, Marshall Fields hired its first Black store employees.
“There’s something about a victory — winning is fun,” she recalled. “It gave me the assurance that I can make a change. And I still have that today, that I can make change. I CAN make change. I’ve MADE change.”
Born on Aug. 30, 1930, with her twin sister Xenobia, she was raised in segregated Muskogee, Oklahoma. Their father was a minister and Indian Affairs agent, so respected that the white police chief and mayor often came calling for guidance about the Black and Native American communities.
“He was a soft-spoken man, but softly he could make a change in a person’s life. And he did it to the authority: the police, the mayor, whatever. I often wonder if maybe I had some of that in my blood.”
She felt racism’s sting at what would become Tennessee State University, where she and her friends went for hamburgers one night in 1950.
“This guy was standing at the counter, he had a butcher knife, probably 3 feet long. I’d never seen a knife that big. But he said to us as we entered the door, ‘If you n(asterisk)(asterisk)(asterisk)(asterisk)(asterisk)(asterisk) don’t get out of here, I’ll cut your heads off! You know you don’t belong here!’ Scared us to death,” she recalled.
“It had a sign outside that says ‘hamburgers for sale,’ and ‘you don’t belong here?’” she said. “I still feel the pain, the embarrassment, the ridicule. I still feel it.”
Clayton earned a master’s in education at the University of Chicago, where marrying the editor of Jet put her at the center of Black culture and politics. She was by Edward Clayton’s side when he heard that the mother of Emmett Till, lynched in Mississippi, wanted the world to see his brutalized body. He stopped the presses to put the image on the cover, shocking the nation’s conscience and drawing widespread support for civil rights.
The couple then moved to Los Angeles, where Clayton said she did something “monumental.” Volunteering to take on 100 school dropouts, she discovered some just needed new clothes or hair curlers to return to class. Others were committing crimes, so she talked her way into gang meetings and urged them to study instead for corporate careers.
“And guess what? To this day, my pride and my chest stand big. Because I took 100 kids and got 82 of them back in school.”
It became her motto: “One person can make a difference. So don’t run away if you see a problem. See if there’s a way you can help,” she said. “I tell people all the time today, look around — there’s something you can do.” | https://www.fox46.com/news/national-news/civil-rights-advocate-xernona-clayton-is-still-fearless/ | 2022-06-08T09:28:31Z | https://www.fox46.com/news/national-news/civil-rights-advocate-xernona-clayton-is-still-fearless/ | true | 47 |

Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko has gotten himself into a bit of a sticky mess with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin and his war in Ukraine—and now he’s turning to his military in a frantic effort to clean it up.
In the past few days Lukashenko and his advisers have made a flurry of announcements about plans to bolster the Belarusian military. First, they announced Belarus was creating a people’s militia to give a boost to the country’s armed forces. Then they announced both a new military unit on the country’s southern border with Ukraine and new military mobilizations exercises.
The former Soviet republic’s announcements sound oddly aligned with the same kinds of “drill” announcements the Kremlin made just before the invasion of Ukraine this February, Belarusian and military analysts have suggested.
Already, combat readiness drills are underway—with a focus on transitioning Belarus from peacetime to war, according to the Belarusian Telegraph Agency.
The Belarusian opposition views Belarus’ latest military announcements as potential posturing towards invading Ukraine, Valery Kavaleuski, a foreign affairs spokesman for Belarusian opposition leader Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya, told The Daily Beast.
“Lukashenko is playing the same game in Belarus. He is trying to get Ukrainians—and Belarusians, too—accustomed to the idea of these exercises,” Kavaleuski told The Daily Beast. “I’m afraid that this might mean that he’s moving closer to the decision to send these Belarusian troops to Ukraine anyway.”
The military steps are likely an indication that, as the war in Ukraine enters a state of attrition, Putin is calling up Lukashenko for favors due, according to Scott Rauland, the former chief of mission at the U.S. Embassy in Minsk, Belarus.
“The only explanation for him taking whatever action has been taken or that is being contemplated is that he is under duress from Putin to demonstrate loyalty and that he is probably expecting additional… financial support from the Kremlin,” said Rauland, who also previously served as an intelligence analyst at the State Department.
The pressures from Putin’s battlefield losses might be forcing Russia into squeezing Lukashenko more, according to Kenneth Yalowitz, a former U.S. ambassador to Belarus.
“My guess is he’s under a lot of pressure right now from the Russians. The Russians are losing people, they’re having a very hard time, the offensive in Kyiv failed,” Yalowitz said. “There’s probably a lot of pressure on Belarus to up his support.”
Lukashenko’s relationship with Putin has long been focused on more closely integrating the two nations, especially after Putin supported Lukashenko despite criticism of Lukashenko’s crackdown on dissidents and allegations he rigged the election in 2020.
It’s not the first time this year that Lukashenko has shown signs that he’s at Putin’s beck and call. Early on, Lukashenko welcomed Putin’s forces for military exercises in Belarus before the Russian invasion.
It could also have something to do with Russian forces having shifted their fight eastward in Ukraine—further away from Belarus. Lukashenko might be feeling a little less relevant to Putin’s aims and trying to get back in the mix, Gen. Ben Hodges, the former commanding general of the U.S. Army in Europe, told The Daily Beast.
“The more likely scenario is that… he’s going to demonstrate… capability,” Hodges told The Daily Beast of Lukashenko’s latest announcements.
Lukashenko “sees that the Russians have shifted their effort much further to the east,” Hodges said. “So now it’s kind of demonstrating, ‘Yes, we have capability, too.’”
And Lukashenko “can be brutish, can be very, very difficult to deal with—and can be very insecure,” added Yalowitz, the former U.S. ambassador in Minsk.
As Putin’s logistics and war efforts have flagged in Ukraine, Lukashenko has made other attempts to become more relevant to Russia. He made a show of trying to guilt-trip other members of the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), Russia’s version of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), to step up their support for Russia’s actions in Ukraine, just last month.
The State Department say it’s monitoring Belarus’ latest bellicose moves. “We continue to monitor these developments closely,” a spokesperson said, adding that the Biden administration continues to view Lukashenko as aligned with Putin. “Until the Lukashenko regime ends its support for Russia’s unprovoked aggression against Ukraine, the United States will continue to take all appropriate actions to disrupt Belarus’s military and financial capabilities.”
But there may be some ulterior motive lying at the foundation of Lukashenko’s military moves. Lukashenko has long had an independent streak, and at times has worked to distance himself from Russia, Rauland told The Daily Beast.
And while Russia could be calling in a favor from Belarus or Lukashenko could be working to prove his loyalty to Putin, Lukashenko’s military posturing might also be an indication he is growing increasingly weary of Putin’s belligerent decisions about Ukraine.
And however involved Lukashenko has been in helping Putin with his designs on Ukraine, Lukashenko has, in recent days, started expressing some distress at the war. He’s sought to signal that he thinks Western nations ought to distinguish between Belarus and Russia. He’s tried hosting peace talks and outright stating that he has been against war. Just last month he spoke out against how Putin’s war has “dragged on.”
Russia’s partnership with Belarus has been rooted in the unique “union state” relationship Belarus and Russia share, an agreement focused on further integrating the two countries. The relationship has culminated in several programs focused on integrating the countries’ taxation, banking, military, and other sectors through the years.
But in practice, the relationship has meant that Putin takes steps to sweep Lukashenko further under his spell—and the war in Ukraine has been no exception.
“Every time Putin wants to turn the screws a little tighter… it’s always about further integration of the union state,” Rauland told The Daily Beast. “The Russian side sees it as a chance to kind of pull Belarus fully into their orbit and maybe have it become part of Russia.”
But Lukashenko is likely “cynical” about the union state, Rauland said.
“His sympathies lie with the Soviet Union and then Russia,” Yalowitz added. “But his relationship with the Russians over 20 years has been uneven. There are periods when they have gotten tired of him, and he also of them.”
The Belarusian leader could be reading the tea leaves, seeing that Putin has fallen out of favor on the world stage, and interested in pivoting to the west.
“The Russian Federation is gonna collapse in some way within the next five years,” Hodges, the former commander of the U.S. Army in Europe, predicted. “What he’s done for 20 years is posture and play this game of trying to maintain some degree of flexibility,” Hodges said of Lukashenko.
“He's definitely looking into the future with concern,” Kavaleuski, the adviser to Tsikhanouskaya, told The Daily Beast.
But in many ways, Lukashenko’s goose is already cooked. Even if he wanted to convince the West one day that he wanted to pivot away from Russia, his human rights record and his support for Putin’s war in Ukraine might have him too far gone.
“When Putin falls—and this is a matter of time as we see from how the war is going—then Lukashenko will be in big trouble,” Kavaleuski told The Daily Beast.
Senior Biden administration officials have been warning for months that it hasn’t been clear where Lukashenko’s power ends and where Russia’s begins within Belarus itself.
“Lukashenko is largely in control of the leaders of his government,” one senior State Department official told reporters earlier this year in a call. “The question is where do their authorities at this point end, and where do the Kremlin’s begin?” | https://www.thedailybeast.com/belarusian-president-alexander-lukashenko-gears-up-in-panicked-ukraine-war-frenzy | 2022-06-08T09:32:15Z | https://www.thedailybeast.com/belarusian-president-alexander-lukashenko-gears-up-in-panicked-ukraine-war-frenzy | true | 3 |
Special report Seven months from now, assuming all goes as planned, Google Chrome will drop support for its legacy extension platform, known as Manifest v2 (Mv2). This is significant if you use a browser extension to, for instance, filter out certain kinds of content and safeguard your privacy.
Google’s Chrome Web Store is supposed to stop accepting Mv2 extension submissions sometime this month. As of January 2023, Chrome will stop running extensions created using Mv2, with limited exceptions for enterprise versions of Chrome operating under corporate policy. And by June 2023, even enterprise versions of Chrome will prevent Mv2 extensions from running.
The anticipated result will be fewer extensions and less innovation, according to several extension developers.
Browser extensions such as Ghostery Privacy Ad Blocker, uBlock Origin, and Privacy Badger, along with scripting extensions including TamperMonkey, which are each designed to block adverts and other content and/or protect one’s privacy online, are expected to function less effectively, if they can even make the transition from Mv2 to the new approach: Manifest v3.
Manifest v3 caps the certain capabilities of extensions and cuts off innovation potential
“If you asked me if we can have a Manifest v3 version of Privacy Badger, my answer is yes, we can and we will,” said Alexei Miagkov, senior staff technologist at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, in a phone interview with The Register. “But the problem is more insidious. It’s that Manifest v3 caps the certain capabilities of extensions and cuts off innovation potential.”
Google argues otherwise and maintains its platform renovation will meet developers’ needs, including those making tools for content blocking and privacy. The internet titan, which declined to comment on the record, maintains that Mv3 aims to improve privacy by limiting extensions’ access to sensitive data and that it has been working with extension developers to balance their needs with those of users.
Google points to past endorsements, such as remarks provided by Sofia Lindberg, tech lead of ad amelioration biz Eyeo, which makes Adblock Plus. “We’ve been very pleased with the close collaboration established between Google’s Chrome Extensions Team and our own engineering team to ensure that ad-blocking extensions will still be available after Manifest v3 takes effect.”
A numbers game
The estimated number of browser extensions in the Chrome Web Store as of two years ago ranged between about 156,000 and 190,000. Today, that figure is said to be almost 114,000. Comparing these numbers isn’t straightforward – Google doesn’t publish store data so third parties devise their own counting methods.
About two dozen Chrome extensions have over 10 million users, but most (about 87 per cent) had fewer than 1,000 installs in 2019, according to Extension Monitor, a now-defunct service. Google’s disinterest in Chrome Web Store metrics may have something to do with it not being a profit center like Apple’s App Store or Google Play – which both Apple and Google celebrate for their revenue generation. When Google discontinued the Chrome Web Store payment API in September 2020, only about nine percent of the extensions were paid or implemented in-app purchasing.
According to Chrome Stats, the most popular Chrome extensions block ads on Google and YouTube, making them something of a revenue sinkhole.
Google began work on Manifest v3, the successor to Mv2, in late 2018, ostensibly to make extensions more secure, performant, and private. The company’s extension platform renovation was necessary – because extension security problems were rampant – and immediately controversial. An ad company making security claims that, coincidentally, hinder user-deployed content and privacy defenses looks like self-interest.
And Mv3 remains the subject of ongoing debate as the extension platform capabilities and APIs continue to be hammered out. But it has been adopted, with some caveats, by other browser makers, including Apple and Mozilla. Makers of Chromium-based browsers inherit Mv3 and Microsoft has already endorsed the new spec.
Others building atop Chromium like Brave, Opera, and Vivaldi have indicated interest in continuing to support Mv2, though it’s unclear whether that will be practical beyond June of next year. If Google removes the Mv2 code from Chromium, maintaining the code in a separate Chromium fork may prove to be too much trouble.
The most widely noted change in Mv3 – and there are many that have significant implications – is the removal of the blocking version of the webRequest
API, which is being replaced by an API called declarativeNetRequest.
Google insists the change is not about hindering content blockers.
There’s been a lot of confusion and misconception around both the motivations and implications of this change, including speculation that these changes were designed to prevent or weaken ad blockers
“There’s been a lot of confusion and misconception around both the motivations and implications of this change, including speculation that these changes were designed to prevent or weaken ad blockers,” said Simeon Vincent, Chrome developer advocate, in a 2019 blog post. “This is absolutely not the goal. In fact, this change is meant to give developers a way to create safer and more performant ad blockers.”
Requests, and more requests
The blocking version of the webRequest
API allows an extension to see all the data in a network request before it gets sent – and possibly block or alter it – and to see all the data in a network response – and possibly block or alter it – before rendering it to a web page.
Given that passwords and account information could be intercepted this way, the webRequest
API can be easily abused by bad extensions. According to Vincent, as of January 2018, 42 percent of malicious extensions were exploiting the webRequest
API.
The declarativeNetRequest
API works differently, applying rules – declared in advance or, in limited numbers, at runtime – that take action when they see a specific network request. The result is extension developers have an API that’s less capable but more secure with respect to eavesdropping on network requests.
Asked to cite an Mv3 API that makes ad blocking and privacy extensions more effective, Google pointed to declarativeNetRequest
as being more performant and more secure than webRequest
.
Mozilla last year said the opposite in a blog post discussing Mv3: “We will support blocking webRequest
until there’s a better solution which covers all use cases we consider important, since DNR [declarativeNetRequest
] as currently implemented by Chrome does not yet meet the needs of extension developers.”
Raymond Hill, the creator of uBlock Origin, last December offered a similarly negative assessment of declarativeNetRequest
:
Google’s approach to performance and security in this context – neutering the webRequest
API – isn’t the only option. Ill-intentioned developers of native applications, web apps, and software libraries/SDKs can abuse people’s trust equally well without the webRequest
API – using JavaScript to grab form data prior to submission, for example.
App security for other platforms generally involves code analysis to see what it does, rather than denying access to APIs. But Google made a decision to restrict APIs rather than strengthen Chrome Web Store code review and enforcement.
Ghost in the machine
In an interview with The Register, Jean-Paul Schmetz, CEO of Ghostery, explained how his company’s browser extensions have been using webRequest
to disable Facebook tracking.
“When Facebook launched the Like button – it was an image basically of the Facebook logo,” said Schmetz. “And part of that [network] request was harmless. It was just a page ID of the page where it was placed. And the other half of the request was a user ID which was absolutely not harmless because it essentially gave Facebook a ping that you were looking at a specific page, which can help them do a bunch of targeting stuff.”
“And what we were doing is to keep the harmless part of the request, but remove or modify the harmful part of it,” he said. “Which allowed the users to still have the Like button be visible and if you clicked on it, it would work as expected, except that Facebook would not be able to track everything that you read on the web. And that is definitely something that’s going to go away with Manifest v3, the ability to modify the request as it leaves the browser.”
Schmetz and other extension developers have observed that extensions used to be critical to browser adoption, but have become less important now that Google has what he describes as a monopoly.
One of the consequences of Chromium becoming the monopoly browser, and Firefox going away, is that extensions do not play the role that they used to play
“One of the consequences of Chromium becoming the monopoly browser, and Firefox going away, is that extensions do not play the role that they used to play,” said Schmetz. “Before, you know, people would move from Chrome to Firefox if an extension was not available. And that stopped occurring.
“I think that extensions are basically seen by browsers – except bizarrely, for Safari at the moment – as sort of a half-necessary evil. Whereas before they were – I don’t know if you remember those days – but basically, Chrome was struggling to implement extensions at one point and knew that if they didn’t have extensions, they would never be able to compete against Firefox.
“So it was extensions that were really driving the creativity of the browser ecosystems. And unfortunately, with the monopolization of the browser infrastructure, this is becoming less so. And I think this is a big problem because extending the browser is the only way to make sure that a monopolistic browser is not stopping everything. It’s like you can still customize it somehow, right?”
Schmetz said extensions used to be able to fundamentally alter the way browsers worked and now, due to Google’s policies, they’re only allowed to do one thing.
Wladimir Palant, who developed the Adblock Plus extension that became the basis for Eyeo, the acceptable ad business he co-founded, also cited the way in which extensions have gone from king-makers to supplicants.
“Historically, browser extensions have been a major factor behind Firefox adoption,” said Palant. “I’m not saying that people primarily switched to Firefox because of extensions. But its extensibility made Firefox very attractive to power users and early adopters. And these are the people who tend to bring their family and friends along because they are playing IT support for all of them.
“Extensions come at a cost however. They threaten security and stability of a browser, and they are a huge maintenance burden. So we’ve seen Chrome become successful with an entirely different compromise: their idea of extensions was far less than Mozilla’s, with the extensions being very limited in what they could do. But it allowed them to ship a more stable product and innovate faster, eventually leading to Firefox adopting the same extension model.”
Palant said now that extensibility is no longer the defining factor in browser adoption, Chrome is able to make changes with less risk of losing users.
“webRequest
is an obvious choice to cut, it being a feature implemented fairly late because Chrome users kept demanding capable ad blockers,” he said. “I doubt Chrome developers were ever happy with it, it being a notorious performance hog.”
Palant said Mv3 entails a wide range of changes intended to improve security and fix bad decisions made during the early stages of Chrome development.
“The main issue here is breaking backwards compatibility abruptly,” he said. “Many extensions won’t make the jump. But losing even half of their extensions is something Google can afford now. Users will no longer switch browsers because of extensions.”
The EFF’s Miagkov sees Google’s prioritization of online advertising as the source of Chrome’s problems.
Everything that happens in Chrome is at the very least colored by their advertising-driven priorities
“Chrome, the browser, belongs to an advertising company,” he said. “And I think this is a major issue. Everything that happens in Chrome is at the very least colored by their advertising-driven priorities.”
And it’s not just Manifest v3 but also the various Privacy Sandbox initiatives and adjacent web specs that reflect this agenda. For example, Google has proposed a web standard called WebBundles that rivals like Brave argue would help websites avoid content blocking. The technology has been debated for several years but the privacy concerns raised remain unanswered.
“Google does not want to imagine a different web,” said Miagkov. “Google does not want to imagine a web where nonconsensual personalized tracking is forbidden, period, like you just can’t do it. When you look at Manifest v3, in the context of everything else that’s happening, then it becomes much more clear that it’s not at all driven by what’s important to extension developers and consequently, extension users. It’s driven by corporate Google priorities.”
That would be fine if Chrome were one option among many, said Miagkov, but Chrome has a monopoly on the desktop where extensions are most relevant. According to the US Justice Department’s 2020 antitrust lawsuit [PDF] against Google, “In the United States, Google Chrome is the leading computer browser, with almost 60 percent market share,” and “over 85 percent of all browser usage in the United States occurs on Google’s own Chrome browser or [another browser that has a revenue sharing agreement with Google].”
Acts and consequences
One consequence of that dominance is that if Chrome fails to fix a known avenue of privacy abuse, then a large number of users go unprotected. That’s been the case with CNAME cloaking, a way publishers can delegate control of a subdomain to a third-party firm to enable web visitor tracking. While other browsers like Brave, Firefox, and Safari have implemented defenses, Chrome has left the issue unaddressed for the past two years.
There was hope last June that the formation of a W3C WebExtensions Community Group (WECG), in which browser makers and other interested parties could discuss the future of extensions might change the dynamic of Google declaring technical changes prior to community engagement. But according to Miagkov, that hasn’t happened.
“I think the W3C group holds great potential,” he said. “It’s already helping extension developers get heard a little bit, because there is a biweekly meeting where anybody can come and talk about what concerns they have.
“What I’ve seen, however – and I’ve attended every meeting for the last many months – I have not seen a single sign that Google changed anything, including its approach to input – from the group or from anybody else.”
Google insists it has incorporated changes into Chrome as a result of developer feedback from the WECG and said WECG discussions have influenced the design of Chrome’s Offscreen Documents proposals and have aided cross-vendor discussions of browser extensions. According to Google, this chatter has covered topics including allowing extensions to:
- Declare optional host permissions with the optional_host_permissions field in manifest.json
- Declare a custom content security policy that allows the extension to use WebAssembly
- Specify whether content scripts should run in the extension’s isolated world or in the page’s world
- Open their own popups using action.openPopup() (currently in development)
Google has also made other changes in response to developer feedback, such as raising the number of static rules that can be applied using declarativeNetRequest
to a minimum of 30,000, the introduction of session rules, and regex rules, among others. Additionally, Googlers have made changes to other APIs, such as scripting.executeScript
, and introduced storage.session for service workers. And The Register understands Google engineers intended to continue doing so.
Schmetz argues that Google’s extension platform changes make browsers more a channel for publishers than a tool that serves internet users.
“The browser is technically called the user agent,” Schmetz said. “And by [making extensions less capable], I think you make it less the user agent and you make it more like a page agent or publisher agent. Or browser manufacturer agent.”
Schmetz sees Google’s security claims as a cover for what they’re doing.
“It’s clear that a powerful platform like extensions has created some bad actors who have used extensions to do bad things. So Google can always say, ‘Well, we’re making our user safer.’ But, you know, behind all that, it also means that the browser is not a user agent anymore.”
Schmetz expects Ghostery will manage to adapt its extensions but worries about what comes next.
“I think the only thing that we are not able to do in the future is this modification of requests,” he said. “I think making the tracking visible is going to continue to be possible. Again, we don’t know exactly what form Manifest v3 will have in the end, but it looks okay at this point for us. But we are worried about Manifest v4.”
Ghostery has hedged its bets by having its own browser, based on Firefox, where it can continue to offer its privacy tools if they become untenable within Chrome. But judging by recent browser trends, Chrome continues to maintain its market dominance.
Schmetz believes it’s really important that people continue to have access to effective anti-tracking tools, particularly for blocking fingerprinting scripts.
“We definitely see a lot of fingerprinting going on,” he said, noting that the ad industry has already moved beyond cookie-based tracking.
“Basically that these scripts are trying to create numbers that are unique to you and are being transferred in the requests. They are not being stored on your machine but are being predictably generated every time you visit a website. … It’s very important to have tools that can block that because if you don’t, you will be tracked right. There’s no way to avoid it.” ®

Indian K-Pop star Shreya Lenka Photograph:( Others )
The singer recalled how tough it was for her family, saying, "My father tried his best to give me everything that he could."
Dedication and hard work always pay off. Shreya Lenka, 18, from India’s steel city of Rourkela, Odisha, has made history by becoming the fifth member of the popular South Korean pop band Blackswan. But achieving the dream was not easy.
WION had a chance to speak to the rising Asian star, where the young artist spoke about her aspirations and how she was able to crack this once in a lifetime opportunity.
Shreya, who is trained in the Odissi dance form, said she could not express in words her happiness on being chosen as the first Indian woman member of a K-Pop band.
Adding that it was her childhood dream to be an artist, Shreya said, "I wanted to represent India and now this has happened, so I feel like, Yes, I did it."
Shreya became a social media sensation and has been trending ever since the announcement was made. Her family and relatives have been expressing joy and pride about her achievement through posts on social media. The newest K-Pop star says that her family and friends' reaction is "priceless".
"My family and friends' reaction was really precious to me because I always wanted to hear those things. And when they say that they are proud of me, it's kind of heart-touching."
Praising the K-Pop group Blackswan as "unique and different," Shreya said that the unique thing about the band is that each member’s uniqueness is promoted and has no discrimination.
"Blackswan is a group formed not on the basis of colour, nationality or age, but on talent."
Shreya also acknowledges how learning classical dance was a difficult journey for her and how her father has been very supportive of her dreams.
"As a kid when I used to dance, people around me appreciated and said that I could be good at dancing. It was then when my father took me to Odissi classes."
The singer recalled how tough it was for her family, saying, "My father tried his best to give me everything that he could."
"I and my father used to travel long distances on Saturdays and Sundays for the dance classes," added Shreya.
The singer has been trained in Odissi for five years.
Lenka, who is currently training with the Blackswan group, said that since joining the band, she has become more "self-dependent, focused and determined." Being a part of the band, the singer has learnt that patience can be rewarding.

There are so many things to learn from each other, Shreya said. "They told me so many new things. We learned about cultures, different dances, lifestyles, and food. There are so many sweet moments the group members share with each other."
She added that learning with the band has been great and the seniors and juniors have friendly relations.

Russia draws closer to capture of Ukraine’s Donbas region
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) - Russia drew closer to its goal of fully capturing Ukraine’s eastern industrial heartland of coal mines and factories as the Kremlin claimed to have taken control of 97% of one of the two provinces that make up the Donbas region.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said Tuesday that Moscow’s forces hold nearly all of Luhansk province. And it appears that Russia now occupies roughly half of Donetsk province, according to Ukrainian officials and military analysts.
After abandoning its bungled attempt to storm Kyiv two months ago, Russia declared that taking the entire Donbas is its main objective. Moscow-backed separatists have been battling Ukrainian government forces in the Donbas since 2014, and the region has borne the brunt of the Russian onslaught in recent weeks.
Early in the war, Russian troops also took control of the entire Kherson region and a large part of the Zaporizhzhia region, both in the south. Russian officials and their local appointees have talked about plans for those regions to either declare their independence or be folded into Russia.
But in what may be the latest instance of anti-Russian sabotage inside Ukraine, Russian state media said Tuesday that an explosion at a cafe in the city of Kherson wounded four people. Tass called the apparent bombing in the Russian-occupied city a “terror act.”
Before the Feb. 24 invasion, Ukrainian officials said Russia controlled some 7% of the country, including the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia annexed in 2014, and areas held by the separatists in Donetsk and Luhansk. Last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Russian forces hold 20% of the country.
GRAPHIC WARNING: Videos in this story may include disturbing content.
While Russia has superior firepower, the Ukrainian defenders are entrenched and have shown the ability to counterattack.
Zelenskyy said Russian forces made no significant advances in the eastern Donbas region over the past day.
“The absolutely heroic defense of the Donbas continues,” he said late Tuesday in his nightly video address.
Zelenskyy said the Russians clearly did not expect to meet so much resistance and are now trying to bring in additional troops and equipment. He said the same was true in the Kherson region.
Speaking earlier to a Financial Times conference, Zelenskyy insisted on Ukraine’s need to defeat Russia on the battlefield but also said he is still open to peace talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
But a former senior U.S. intelligence officer said the time isn’t right.
“You’re not going to get to the negotiating table until neither side feels they have an advantage that they could push,” said Andrea Kendall-Taylor of the Washington-based Center for a New American Security.
The Russians “think they will be able to take the whole of the Donbas and then might use that as the opportunity to call for negotiations,” Kendall-Taylor said at an online seminar organized by Columbia and New York universities.
Shoigu, the Russian defense minister, said Moscow’s forces have seized the residential quarters of Sievierodonetsk and are fighting to take control of an industrial zone on the city’s outskirts and nearby towns.
Sievierodonetsk and nearby Lysychansk have seen heavy fighting in recent weeks. They are among a few cities and towns in the Luhansk region still holding out against the Russian invasion, which is being helped by local pro-Kremlin forces.
Shoigu added that Russian troops were pressing their offensive toward the town of Popasna and have taken control of Lyman and Sviatohirsk and 15 other towns in the region.
Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak urged his people not to be downhearted about the battlefield reverses.
“Don’t let the news that we’ve ceded something scare you,” he said in a video address. “It is clear that tactical maneuvers are ongoing. We cede something, we take something back.”
Luhansk Gov. Serhiy Haidai conceded that Russian forces control the industrial outskirts of Sievierodonetsk.
“The toughest street battles continue, with varying degrees of success,” Haidai said. “The situation constantly changes, but the Ukrainians are repelling attacks.”
Moscow’s forces also kept up their artillery barrage of Lysychansk. Haidai said Russian troops shelled a market, a school and a college building, destroying the latter. At least three people were wounded, he said.
“A total destruction of the city is under way. Russian shelling has intensified significantly over the past 24 hours. Russians are using scorched-earth tactics,” Haidai said.
Meanwhile, the U.S. military has begun training Ukrainian forces on the sophisticated multiple rocket launchers that the Biden administration agreed last week to provide. The Pentagon said the training is going on at a base in Germany and elsewhere in Europe.
The High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or HIMARS, is mounted on a truck and can carry a container with six rockets, which can travel about 45 miles (70 kilometers). Officials said it would take about three weeks of training before they could go to the battlefront.
In other developments, Zelenskyy said Ukraine planned to publish a special “Book of Executioners” next week with information about war crimes committed by the Russian army.
“These are specific facts about specific people who are guilty of specific cruel crimes against Ukrainians,” he said. Those named would include not only people who carried out the crimes but their commanders, he said.

Meta-owned photo-sharing platform Instagram is expanding the Sensitive Content Control feature as users will now be able to control the amount of sensitive content and accounts they see on the platform. The platform said that Sensitive Content Control will cover all surfaces where we make recommendations.
“In addition to Explore, you will now be able to control the amount of sensitive content and accounts you see in Search, Reels, Accounts You Might Follow, Hashtag Pages and In-Feed Recommendations," Instagram said in a blogpost. “With this update, we are also applying the technology we use to enforce our Recommendation Guidelines to Instagram’s recommendations on Search and Hashtag pages," it added.
This update will be available to everyone in the coming weeks. The Sensitive Content Control has three options, which the company has renamed from when it first introduced the control to help explain what each option does. The three options are “More," “Standard" and “Less". “Standard" is the default state, and will prevent people from seeing some sensitive content and accounts.

“More" enables people to see more sensitive content and accounts, whereas “Less" means they see less of this content than the default state. For people under the age of 18, the “More" option is unavailable. “There are additional tools we offer that can help you shape your Instagram experience, including Comment Control, Restrict, Block and Mute. Our hope is to provide more tools over time and make Instagram work better for you," the company said.
Meanwhile, the Meta-owned platform now also lets users pin up to three posts or reels to the top of their profile. To start pinning, users can tap on the three dots icon above an individual post and then select “pin to your profile".

Most Reverend Jude Arogundade, Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Ondo, on Tuesday, revealed that 38 people were killed in the last Sunday attack at Saint Francis Catholic Church in Owo, Ondo State.
According to Arogundade, efforts were still being made to track those who took their loved ones’ bodies and did not bring them to the hospital.
While speaking with reporters about the attack that rocked the community on Sunday, the Bishop revealed that “the figure that we can account for presently is 38.
“Even some people came to take the bodies of their loved ones. We are trying to trace those people so that we can have a recount for all.
“But in the catholic hospital which is Saint Louis Hospital in Owo and the Federal Medical Centre in Owo, we have 38 bodies.” | https://olisa.tv/owomassacre-weve-counted-38-bodies-so-far-catholic-bishop/ | 2022-06-08T09:43:59Z | https://olisa.tv/owomassacre-weve-counted-38-bodies-so-far-catholic-bishop/ | true | null |

Watch: Video of Root's bat standing upright goes viral; fans say England cricketer is a magician
London: Former England skipper Joe Root is being hailed as a "magician" after a video clip on social media, in which his bat is standing upright during the opening Test against New Zealand at Lord's, has gone viral. Former England footballer and current sports broadcaster Gary Linekar, and noted journalist-writer Piers Morgan have been left wondering how a bat could stand upright unaided, with the former indicating that Root could conjure up magic while at the crease.

Root scored an unbeaten century when the chips were down as England went on to defeat World Test champions New Zealand by five wickets to take a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. On one occasion during the match, TV footage showed Root's bat standing upright for several seconds on its own. Soon the clip went viral, leaving cricket fans baffled.
After the clip was shared on Twitter by the BBC's Test Match Special account with the caption "Anyone know how he (Root) did this?!", Lineker, the BBC Match of the Day presenter, replied, "He's a magician". TV personality Piers Morgan tweeted, "Yes. He's a magician with the bat. @root66." Another fan tweeted, "It's Thor's hammer in disguise!"

Patient Recently Traveled On A Flight From Mexico to Dallas
DALLAS (June 7, 2022) – Dallas County Health and Human Services (DCHHS) is investigating a monkeypox case in a Dallas County resident with international travel in the past month to a country that has also reported monkeypox cases. Preliminary test results were positive on June 6, 2022, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) laboratory in Atlanta, GA will be including it in their official case counts. Due to privacy concerns, DCHHS does not disclose the patient’s personal information.
Public Health officials have identified individuals who have had direct contact with the patient and are monitoring them for symptoms of infection. In addition, CDC is working with the airline and state and local health officials to contact airline passengers and others who may have been in contact with the patient on board a flight from Mexico to Dallas. The patient has not been hospitalized, is isolated and recovering at home, and does not pose a known risk to others at this time.
“We have been working closely with the CDC and the Texas Department of State Health Services and have conducted interviews with the patient and close contacts,” said DCHHS Director Dr. Philip Huang. “We have determined that there is little known risk to the general public at this time. However, monkeypox cases have been spreading globally, and we are actively working with local healthcare providers to ensure they are prepared to recognize monkeypox and report suspected cases to public health officials.”
Symptoms include fever (≥100.4°F), headache, muscle aches, and swollen lymph nodes, followed by a rash. Lesions typically develop at the same time and evolve together on any given part of the body. Lesions progress through several stages before falling off (macules, papules, vesicles, pustules, scabs). Patients are usually ill for 2–4 weeks.
Monkeypox is fatal in as many as 1 to 11% of people who become infected. Prior vaccination against smallpox may provide protection against monkeypox.
The monkeypox virus spreads between people primarily through direct contact with infectious sores, scabs, or body fluids. It also can be spread by respiratory secretions during prolonged, face-to-face contact. Monkeypox can spread during intimate contact between people, including during sex, as well as activities like kissing, cuddling, or touching parts of the body with monkeypox sores.
Recently, monkeypox cases have been linked to men who have sex with other men and participate in high-risk activities. Those infected with monkeypox may experience fever, rash, and swollen lymph nodes, as well as more serious complications.

Lavrov says onus is on Ukraine to de-mine ports to allow grain shipments
Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com
June 8 (Reuters) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Wednesday the onus was on Ukraine to solve the problem of resuming grain shipments by de-mining its ports.
Lavrov said no action was required on the Russian side because it had already made the necessary commitments.
"We state daily that we're ready to guarantee the safety of vessels leaving Ukrainian ports and heading for the (Bosphorus) gulf, we're ready to do that in cooperation with our Turkish colleagues," he said after talks with his Turkish counterpart.

"To solve the problem, the only thing needed is for the Ukrainians to let vessels out of their ports, either by demining them or by marking out safe corridors, nothing more is required."
Ukraine is one of the world's biggest exporters of grain, and Western countries have accused Russia of creating the risk of global famine by shutting Ukraine's Black Sea ports.
Moscow denies responsibility for the international food crisis, blaming Western sanctions.
Lavrov said the main problem was that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy had "categorically refused" to resolve the problem of the mined ports.
"If they've now changed their position, then on our side there are no complications, let's see how the preliminary agreements we discussed yesterday and today can be put into practice."
Speaking alongside his Turkish counterpart Mevlut Cavusoglu in Ankara, Lavrov said he appreciated Turkey's efforts in looking for ways to resolve the situation.
Lavrov said Russia's "special military operation" in Ukraine was going according to plan and that peace talks would need to resume before there was any chance of talks between President Vladimir Putin and Zelenskiy.

Premier League giants Liverpool have tabled a club-record fee of £85million in a bid to bring Darwin Nunez to Anfield.
According to reports in Portugal, the frontman is a main target for Jürgen Klopp as he looks to rebuild his attack amid Sadio Mane Bayern Munich links.
The fee would smash Liverpool's record bill which currently stands at £75million - paid for centre half Virgil van Dijk from Southampton in January 2018.
Nunez netted 34 goals in all competitions this season and is one of the most highly-coveted forwards in world football as the Primeira Liga giants prepare to line their pockets from a mega sale.
But the Anfield side could be set for a battle to secure the 22-year-old's services.
Manchester United, Newcastle and Atletico Madrid have also noted interest in the star striker.
But Nunez, ideally, wants to play Champions League football, something that is not on offer at Manchester United nor Newcastle next campaign.
The lure of the European competition reportedly puts Liverpool in the driving seat.
Jurgen Klopp was hugely complimentary after coming face-to-face with the star twice in the space of a week back in April.
“He was physically strong, quick, was calm around his finish," said the Reds boss.
"Good, really good. I always say in these situations if he is healthy, it’s a big career ahead of him."
The Uruguay international's price tag was initial set at £67million, with the new bid blowing that asking price out the water, should the reports prove to be correct.

People who suffer from chronic pain may find small-to-moderate pain relief for the short-term when using certain prescription cannabis products with higher THC to CBD levels, but there are some worrisome side effects, according to new research.
Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the chemical compound in the marijuana plant that makes you high. Cannabidiol, or CBD, is the second most prevalent active chemical in cannabis, but it does not make you high. Both have been associated with pain relief.
"The findings are in line with what we know," said Yasmin Hurd, a professor of pharmacological sciences, neuroscience and psychiatry at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. She was not involved with the study.
"There is some indication of weak-to-moderate pain relief depending on the THC/CBD ratio, but there is an increase of side effects such as dizziness and sedation," said Hurd, who is the director of the Addiction Institute at Mount Sinai.
However, no such benefits were found from any over-the-counter THC or CBD extracts from the whole marijuana plant.
"Unfortunately, the available evidence is largely inconclusive, due to the small number of studies and the variation in cannabinoid products among these studies," said Jodi Gilman, an associate professor at the Center for Addiction Medicine at Harvard Medical School who was not involved with the study.
"Large, placebo-controlled trials in hundreds of patients who are all taking the same exact product at the same doses are needed to understand the benefits and risks of cannabis for chronic pain," Gilman added.
No benefit from nonprescription extracts
The review analyzed 25 clinical trials and observational studies involving nearly 15,000 people. The prescription drugs dronabinol, made of pure synthetic THC, and nabilone, which is nearly pure THC, were linked to moderate improvements in pain relief, but an increased risk of drowsiness and dizziness, researchers found.
Nabiximols, a drug with comparable amounts of THC and CBD designed to be sprayed under the tongue, improved pain relief and function to a smaller degree but also carried a risk for sedation, dizziness and nausea, according to the study published Monday in the Annals of Internal Medicine. Nabiximols is a prescription drug that is not available in the United States.
Those side effects caused some patients to stop using the products, even though they "are also common side effects of other pain medications," Gilman said.
Patients using cannabinoids for pain should be "closely monitored by their doctors in order to determine whether these products are helpful," Gilman said, and determine if any benefit outweighs potential side effects.
"While the amount of pain relief is not substantial, individuals suffering from chronic pain might think that it is worth the risk. Clearly, CBD has a much greater safety profile than THC so it is important that high-THC products be carefully monitored," Hurd said.
"It is critical that patients consider conventional clinically approved products before trying cannabis," she said. "Also, they have to be extremely careful regarding what cannabis products they use since there are a lot of products that do not have good quality control and might not even contain the amount of THC or CBD they think based on the packaging."
In addition, Hurd warned, "it is not suitable to smoke 'recreational' cannabis as medicine." Just like tobacco, smoking weed can damage the lungs and increase the risk of respiratory diseases. Heavy cannabis use has been associated with increased risk of heart attacks, she said.

I can’t tell you for sure who originally said, “Writing about music is like dancing about architecture,” but this little epigram has haunted music critics for half a century. There’s a kernel of truth to it. Some music is too exquisite to suffer a critic’s nitpicking; some music is too stupid for words. But we persist in writing about the stuff. We’re generally not trying to prove or disprove the merits of any particular song. We’re certainly not trying to win some sort of argument with the musician. We’re often trying, in a broader sense, to demystify a timeless force in the human experience, one artist at a time. But what do you say about someone like Post Malone? He’s a cool dude making cool tunes when he’s not making TV commercials for Doritos, Bud Light, and Pokémon. He’s not that deep. I’m not that pretentious. How many semicolons and adverbs could I possibly throw at this guy? His latest album, Twelve Carat Toothache, dropped on Friday. Is this thing critic-proof? Am I a fool to think he’s made a pretty good album this time around? Or am I just a fool for the overexplaining? | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2624382708627/miles-teller-in-top-gun-the-poosh-and-goop-collab-and-liam-payne-has-one-direction-thoughts | 2022-06-08T10:07:08Z | https://www.newsbreak.com/news/2624382708627/miles-teller-in-top-gun-the-poosh-and-goop-collab-and-liam-payne-has-one-direction-thoughts | false | 2 |

The World Bank’s executive board approved $1.49 billion of additional financing for Ukraine on Tuesday to help pay wages for government and social workers, expanding the bank’s total pledged support to over $4 billion.
The World Bank said in a statement that the latest funding is supported by financing guarantees from Britain, the Netherlands, Lithuania and Latvia. The project is also being supported by parallel financing from Italy and contributions from a new Multi-Donor Trust Fund.
Ukraine has said that it needs at least $5 billion per month in the near term to keep its government operating in the face of the invasion by Russia in February and fighting that has shut down vast portions of its economy. Finance leaders from the Group of Seven industrial democracies last month pledged $9.5 billion in new funding, bringing their non-military support to nearly $20 billion.

The World Bank has been working with donor countries to use its various financing programs to support health care, education, social services, power and water supplies and roads.
The core services were “essential to preventing further deterioration in living conditions and poverty in Ukraine beyond the suffering inflicted because of the war,” World Bank Eastern Europe country director Arup Banerji said in a statement.
Such services would also be “the bedrock of any recovery and reconstruction,” Banerji added. | https://arynews.tv/world-bank-board-approves-1-49-billion-in-new-funds-for-ukraine/ | 2022-06-08T10:14:34Z | https://arynews.tv/world-bank-board-approves-1-49-billion-in-new-funds-for-ukraine/ | true | 5 |

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — A courthouse in upstate New York was closed for fumigation Tuesday after hundreds of cockroaches were released during an altercation that broke out at an arraignment, according to court officials.
The clash broke out during proceedings in Albany City Court for four people for an arrest at the state Capitol. A defendant who started to film the courtroom proceedings was told to stop. In the altercation that followed, hundreds of cockroaches brought into the courthouse in plastic containers were released, according to the state court system.
The bug release was being investigated while the courthouse was closed for the rest of the day for fumigation.
Court officers arrested a 34-year-old woman in the audience for charges related to the altercation, including disorderly conduct, obstructing governmental administration and tampering with physical evidence.
She was released, and it was not immediately clear whether she had an attorney to speak on her behalf.
“What transpired is not advocacy or activism, it is criminal behavior with the intent to disrupt a proceeding and cause damage,” read a statement from the Office of Court Administration. | https://www.nbc4i.com/local-news/disorder-in-the-court-cockroaches-released-during-hearing/ | 2022-06-08T10:20:13Z | https://www.nbc4i.com/local-news/disorder-in-the-court-cockroaches-released-during-hearing/ | true | 42 |
When Kamal Haasan arrived on The Kapil Sharma Show to promote his latest release Vikram, Kapil Sharma could not help but heap praise on the actor-filmmaker and his brilliance. During the episode, Kapil reminded fans that the veteran actor made his debut as a child artist with Tamil film Kalathur Kannamma, a 1960 release. He recalled that the actor won President’s Gold Medal for the film at the age of 6.
A curious Kapil asked Kamal Haasan if he knew or realised how big the moment or the honour was. Remembering that incidence, Kamal Haasan stated that he has a photo of the moment in which he does not look impressed with the award.
“If you see the picture, I am looking at the award with an expression like, ‘Bas? Itna hi hai? (What? That’s it?)’ I thought as a child that I would received a big present. Like a mechanical gun or something else,” Kamal said as Kapil laughed. The host asked if he tried to communicate his emotions to President. “Through my expression, I almost expressed that to him,” Kamal said in Hindi.
As the conversation continued, Kapil recalled how Kamal Haasan made the audience laugh with his film Pushpak. When he asked about the Singeetam Srinivasa Rao directorial, Kamal Haasan said it is during this film that he learned a lot about cinema. “That was where I learnt writing. Bohot seekhne ka mauka mila (Got an opportunity to learn a lot). How to write for cinema. Cinema is not all about dialogues, wo samjh aaya,” he expressed.

But what inspires him to always explore something new? Kamal Haasan credits director K Balachander for it. “My guru K Balachander always tried new things and introduced new actors. As a matter of fact, all the top stars of South India, my peers, are his introductions. He kept trying new things. He gave us the guts. Wo dil joh hai, we try to copy it even now. It is a habit I picked up from my father, he is like a father to me,” he concluded.
Kamal Haasan’s latest release Vikram is currently dominating the box office. The film, also starring Vijay Sethupathi and Fahadh Faasil, was directed by Lokesh Kanagaraj.

He is due to appear in Timaru District Court on Tuesday.
Police were also called to a crash involving a car and a ute on Tauiwi Cres in Hei Hei about 4pm on Monday.
Two people were involved in a “disorder” following the crash. A police spokesperson said police were making enquiries.

People sometimes think there isn't really a lot you can do to bathrooms to make them more exciting, but we totally disagree! There's so much more to a good bathroom than just a sink, toilet, bath and shower, as any bathroom designer will tell you. But what are those extra little details and touches that turn a standard space into an out of this world spa-like retreat? More to the point, what can you do in a short space of time, and for little money, that will transform your room? If you're coming up short on the ideas front, don't panic, as we are here to give you some simple but effective tips that anyone will be able to put into action, so read on, get inspired, then get to work!
Simple box shelves on your bathroom walls will look great, offer you bags more storage and are easy to install too. If you want to get a little more adventurous, you can even spray paint them first, to add a new accent color to the room. So simple!
One color bathrooms are fine, but if you want a quick and easy method for pimping up your space, grab some moisture resistant paint and get sloshing! One feature wall in a distinctive color will really transform a bathroom and you could get new towels to match.
For a super quick way to add a little sass and style to your bathroom, choose removable wall decals. There when you want and not when you don't, they can be applied and removed without causing any damage and make a great impression! What design would you go for?
Wallpaper hanging isn't as tough as you might think, especially now that so many patterns are available in handy paste-the-wall variations! Make sure you choose a design that comes in a bathroom-friendly paper option, then grab some paste and get creative with a wall or two.
Neon rubber duckies, an eye-catching shower curtain, vivid towels or even a cool bath mat are all great ways to add a little fun and extra style to a boring bathroom and none of them will cost the earth! You could even hang some art in there, install a magazine rack or a vase of fresh flowers. The options are limitless!
You'll most likely already have a mirror in your bathroom, but grab something new and a little more contemporary and when it's in place, you'll see what a huge difference it can make! We are huge fans of round ones that add a little design fun.
Do you love a bit of shabby-chic style? Well try some yourself! Up-cycle some old step ladders into towel rails or tatty side tables into rustic vanity units and you'll really change up the look and feel of your bathroom!

BUZZ-COMMENT-Riksbank could burnish Swedish crown's longer-term outlook
June 8 (Reuters) - Sweden's May inflation data could set the Riksbank's tone for the remainder of the year, improving the longer-term outlook for the crown.
If next week's release of May CPIF exceeds the Riksbank's 6.3% year-on-year forecast, Sweden's key interest rate could hit 1.5% or even 1.75% by the end of the year, meaning a 50 basis point hike in June and September and possibly another 25 to 50bps in November. Analysts are looking for a 7.1% CPIF print.
Analysts are likely to upwardly revise their inflation forecasts and despite the challenge of higher interest rates for home owners, the remainder of the year could see Sweden outperform its European peers, bringing revised growth forecasts too.
For EUR/SEK the risk is for a full retracement of the 10.2240 to 10.6810 gain seen between April 20 and May 10. Having already dropped below the key 50% Fibonacci retrace level, the door is now open to 10.3986 and 10.3319, remaining Fibonnaci levels and a full retracement to 10.2240 is possible by year-end.

Halo Infinite’s co-op campaign has appeared on the horizon. The new game mode is expected to launch in August later this year, but some lucky players will have the opportunity to jump in early through a hands-on beta.
Developer 343 Industries announced the upcoming Halo Infinite playtest in a tweet (opens in new tab). If you’re signed up for the Halo Insider program, you’ll get the chance to play the game’s co-op update a month early and jump into its open world with a buddy in July.
The beta only extends to “network co-op”, though, so don’t expect to play split-screen. 343 Industries has said that Halo Infinite will support four-player online co-op when the mode rolls out in August, but local two-player co-op is expected to launch with Season 3 in November.
Halo Infinite’s campaign co-op has been a long time coming. It was absent when the game launched late last year, with 343 initially expecting to add the feature alongside the release of Halo Infinite Season 2. That didn’t happen, though, as the studio delayed the update to fine-tune its features. Hopefully, that means it will run super smoothly when it does finally rear its head.
How to join the Halo Infinite co-op beta?
If you want to jump into Halo Infinite’s campaign co-op early, you’ll need to join the Halo Insider program. It’s similar to Microsoft’s Xbox Insider scheme, letting participants test upcoming Halo services and game modes through hands-on playtests, and provide feedback to help shape the franchise.
Fortunately, signing up for the scheme is dead easy, just head to the Halo Insider website (opens in new tab) and click the big “Join Halo Insider” button. You’ll be asked to sign in through your Xbox account and select your Halo playtest preferences. Make sure to opt in to either “Console Flighting” or “PC Flighting” (or both), for the chance to take part in hands-on playtests.
If you’re signing up for console playtests, you’ll need to note down what console, controller, display, and audio system you’re using to play. If you’re opting in to the PC beta, meanwhile, you’ll need to share your hardware specs on the sign-up page. Don't worry, it walks you through how to do that.
However, even fully-fledged Halo Insider members aren’t guaranteed a place in Halo Infinite’s co-op playtest. You’ll only be considered for entry. To increase your chances of being picked, make sure your profile is up to date and accurate. For now, it’s best to sign up, sight tight, and hope the UNSC smiles upon you. | https://www.techradar.com/in/news/how-to-sign-up-for-halo-infinite-co-op-beta | 2022-06-08T10:44:03Z | https://www.techradar.com/in/news/how-to-sign-up-for-halo-infinite-co-op-beta | true | 6 |

Mapp Cloud now integrates with the leading B2C digital commerce platform (VTEX), expands into the "No-code" domain (via Bubble.io), and adds a cross-channel Marketing Calendar along with nine enhancements to other core features.
SAN DIEGO, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Mapp, the leading provider of insight-led customer experiences, has updated its marketing platform, Mapp Cloud, with multiple new features. Updates include the new Marketing Calendar, enabling users to see both sent and scheduled campaigns in a single location. This functionality previously only supported email and SMS channels, but now supports all channels.
Steve Warren, CEO of Mapp, comments: "Omni-channel is of critical importance to marketers. We constantly strive to empower our clients to reach their customers through all touchpoints, as part of a seamless customer experience. The physical and digital customer journeys are converging far faster than ever before. It's crucial that our customers have a seamless and efficient way of executing, optimizing and visualizing these cross-channel customer experiences."
In addition to the enhanced marketing calendar, several existing features have been revised and, in some cases, expanded.
In the updated version of Mapp Cloud, it is now possible to schedule system tasks automatically through the whiteboards.

Today we will show you a home that has been in existence for some time and we can imagine that it has been graced with many styles over the years. Its foundations are sturdy and strong, whilst its decor is fresh and inspiring.
We will show you the latest project by the interior designers and decorators from VIBE DESIGN INC who have put in a lot of effort into making this stunning home shine. The home is completely up-to-date with all the modern perks you would expect in a newly built home. It is influenced by a touch of minimalist design, but is also comprised of a balanced atmosphere which exudes warmth and pleasantness.
You will love what you are about to see!
The location of this site is Yokosuka city which is a residential area in Japan. The house is located on the grounds of a quiet neighborhood and faces the road. Its white facade makes it look grand and there is a touch of nostalgia in the design. The gable roof gives the structure a traditional look, but the rest of its appearance, such as the concrete steps and foundations give it a modern look. The use of wood for the fencing on the bottom floor adds a touch of warmth to the exterior.
The dining area is bright and airy and with remnants from the past such as the light-gauge which is made out of steel, the room still up-to-date. With the bright white walls and sloping ceilings to give it that extra edge, as well as a simple floor plan which is not cluttered in the slightest, the dining area and kitchen are combined in the most pleasant way.
This modern ladder is a wonderful addition to the hallway which shows us what modern interiors are all about. The black feature wall contrasts with the white ladder beautifully, whilst the wooden floors create warmth in this open space.
The bathroom exudes a sense of unity and order. It is a simple space designed with less in mind to create more open space. The pale wall works wonderfully with the wooden touches whilst the light flows in freely through the frosted windows. A comfortable room in which freedom and relaxation are two words that come to mind.
This funky kitchen overlooks the open plan dining room. The whole space is enlightened with a high degree of stylistic freedom; from the wood and the steel which is inspired by the industrial look, to the contemporary appliances and state of the art accessories. The kitchen is polished to perfection and it is no wonder that the space feels as if you can do just about anything with it; no matter how much time passes, it always stays current! | https://www.homify.com/ideabooks/1950890/a-close-up-look-at-a-modern-home-which-has-all-the-perks | 2022-06-08T10:55:52Z | https://www.homify.com/ideabooks/1950890/a-close-up-look-at-a-modern-home-which-has-all-the-perks | false | 1 |
Radiographer with a rare condition that makes her smell like rotten fish says she used to shower four times a day in a bid to mask her odour before realising warm water made it WORSE
- Kelly Fidoe-White, 41, from Manchester, has lived with condition all her life
- Trimethylaminuria is condition so rare it has only been recorded 100 times
- Kelly was formally diagnosed in 2015 after years of symptoms
- Condition has led to years of bullying and name calling over her scent
A woman with an extremely rare condition causing her to constantly smell like fish said she used to take four showers a day to mask the smell.
Kelly Fidoe-White, 41, from Oldham, Manchester, has lived with Trimethylaminuria (TMAU) her whole life, a disorder more commonly know as 'fish-odour syndrome.'
It is a condition so rare that it has only been recorded 100 times in medical records but some medical professionals believe the real figure could be much higher, with some sources putting the figure closer to 200.
TMAU sufferers produce a range of strong body odours including rotten fish, onion and faeces.
Kelly, a senior radiographer, was formally diagnosed with the condition in 2015- when she was 34.
Kelly Fidoe-White, 41, from Oldham, Manchester, has lived with Trimethylaminuria (TMAU) her whole life- a disorder more commonly know as 'fish-odour syndrome'
Kelly, a senior radiographer, pictured with husband Michael, was diagnosed with the condition in 2015- when she was 34
She told NeedToKnow: 'People call it a curse, and I can see why. To sum it up in two words, it's confusing and isolating.
'Confusing because people generally don't like to confront body odour issues head-on so when you ask them outright they tend to tell you they don't smell anything, but unfortunately you will then get the odd person who talks about it behind your back, rather than dealing with you face-to-face.
'As a healthcare professional, to be asked if you know you should be using soap when you wash, is really upsetting.'
The 41-year-old has had decades of name-calling and the condition has seen Kelly change her uniform twice a day, using whole cans of deodorant to cover the scent.
Her mother once had to visit her work with a fresh set of clothes because someone complained to management about her smell.
Fear of other people noticing her smell has left her housebound and she now works night shifts, also suffering bouts of depression.
The 41-year-old has had decades of name-calling and the condition has seen Kelly change her uniform twice a day, using whole cans of deodorant to cover the scent
The 41-year-old had first experienced symptoms when she was six years old, noticing that her urine would smell like fish.
Years later, when she reached puberty, she developed a prominent body odour which extended beyond her toilet visits.
To combat the smell, she showered several times a day, not knowing that this actually made the scent worse.
Kelly added: 'It has absolutely nothing to do with personal hygiene. I could wash every hour of every day and it would only be a short term fix.
'In fact, it is common for sufferers to smell worse after a shower because the pores open more due to the warm water.'
The 41-year-old had first experienced symptoms when she was six years old and noticed that her urine would smell like fish
Kelly said: 'It's isolating because you don't want to offend people with the smell so you are constantly thinking, "Am I sweaty? Am I over-warm? That person is coughing, is that because of me?"
'If you let it, the condition can begin to take over your thoughts. I developed severe hyper-vigilance over people's reactions to the smell.
'The worst part is feeling like you're going crazy from it.'
When Kelly reached puberty she developed a prominent body odour that extended beyond her toilet visits. She showered several times a day, not knowing that this actually made her scent worse
Kelly has sought out ways of improving the symptoms over the years, including adopting a reduced choline diet.
She avoids foods such as liver, kidney beans, peanuts and cruciferous vegetables as they are all really good sources of the nutrient.
But her reduced choline diet puts her at a higher risk of developing neurological conditions such as fibromyalgia and Parkinson's disease.
She said: 'The whole condition is counter-intuitive in its treatment because your first thought is that it is BO [body odour].
'So you wash more, use stronger soaps, wash your clothes using soda crystals etc., apply more perfume and body spray – all of which makes it worse.
'I ultimately learned that the skin needs to remain at its natural pH of 5.5 as acid breaks down TMAU as it comes through the skin – soaps, bleach and soda crystals are generally alkali.'
Kelly has sought out ways of improving the symptoms over the years, and adopted a reduced choline diet, avoiding foods such as liver, kidney beans, peanuts and cruciferous vegetables as they are all really good sources of the nutrient
Sadly, there is no cure for Kelly's condition but avoiding certain foods and supplementing nutrient levels can lessen the symptoms, which fluctuate over time.
After experiencing decades of bullying, she underwent therapy and counselling, and claims that trolls body shamed her by saying the scent was caused by her weight.
She said: 'It has nothing to do with weight, which was thrown at me a lot. In fact, my smell was worst when I was at my lightest. Currently I believe I am relatively symptom-free.
'This is due to a combination of supplements scientifically selected to reduce TMA production and boost TMA oxidisation and some lifestyle modifications.'
The 41-year-old has also undergone therapy and counselling after she suffered years of jibes and bullying related to her condition
Kelly said: 'It's difficult because once you are labelled as someone with a BO problem some people do use it as a stick to beat you with if they don't like you.
'I want to give a voice to my fellow sufferers, who suffer in silence because of the stigma attached to BO. People are generally scared to speak up for fear of being ridiculed.
'Unfortunately when people do it can be difficult to get specialist treatment as the smell is often intermittent and GPs tend to not refer based on the individuals testimony alone.
'I have found a community online, which is substantial.'

How far would you go to network and make connections? Most of us would begrudgingly go to a networking event in the hopes of meeting other industry professionals.
But one guy says eschew all that and go directly into their homes. Yes, that’s right, creator and entrepreneur Sahil Bloom says go door knocking to land career advice.
The New Yorker shared a Twitter thread where he encouraged 16-24-year-olds to go to a coffee shop, fill up a large flask of coffee (enough for 10 people) and head onto a nearby rich area.
He then suggests asking people who open their doors about their career, spending 10 minutes with them to discuss how they made it.
The idea is that you’ll end up door knocking on someone who is so impressed by your plucky spirit, they’ll either give you excellent career advice or in a best case scenario, a job.
But, err, this approach comes with quite a few downsides.
As the tweet went viral, amassing more than 10,000 likes, people couldn’t help but point out all the flaws in the plan.
What happens, for example, if you’re a young woman knocking on a potentially dangerous person’s door? The power dynamics are obvious and you could be inviting yourself into further danger.
Or perhaps you’re a Black person knocking on a racist person’s door – you could be subjecting yourself to abuse or harm. People wasted no time pointing out all the cons.
Though the method was widely criticised, some pointed out that in a few exceptional cases, it can work.
One such example included Reggie Nelson, from a London council estate, who door knocked in Kensington and Chelsea. His graft paid off as he landed a job in the city after networking with people.
If you’re not comfortable going into people’s homes, you could always just hold up a large sign. That’s what another man did, hosting a pop-up sign to attract big wigs at Canary Wharf. And it worked.
Or you could stick to the good old networking event or mentoring scheme, just an idea. | https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/this-guy-has-one-piece-of-career-advice-for-you_uk_62a063b1e4b0cf43c842a77f | 2022-06-08T10:58:42Z | https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/this-guy-has-one-piece-of-career-advice-for-you_uk_62a063b1e4b0cf43c842a77f | true | 1 |

Lark Davies: Bristol Bears sign England hooker from Loughborough Lightning
Last updated on .From the section Rugby Union
Bristol Bears have signed England hooker Lark Davies from Loughborough Lightning ahead of next season.
The 27-year-old helped the Red Roses to the Grand Slam in the 2022 Six Nations and was also the Premier 15s' top try-scorer during the 2022 campaign.
"The Bears have taken the Premier 15s by storm this season," Davies said.
"After meeting with [head coach] Dave (Ward) and hearing about the Bears' vision and programme, I knew this is where I needed to be." | https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/61692379 | 2022-06-08T11:12:59Z | https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/61692379 | true | null |
Its advanced driving behavior analytics turn risky drivers into safe and loyal customers
Carrot takes another big step forward in the development of behavioral-based UBI and dynamic pricing of premiums
SEOUL, South Korea, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- South Korea's leading InsurTech Carrot ("Carrot" or the "Company") announced the release of new mobile application with Carrot Members Auto embedded, a service that financially incentivizes the citizens for safe driving behavior. The completely rebuilt and redesigned app makes it highly engaging and fun for users to stay connected and more frequently interacted. Safe-driving scores, mission-oriented challenges, personalized feedbacks, and Carrot-Cash rewards are some of the key features being rolled out. The new app also offers other value-added services and information pertinent to mobility-lifestyle, and the company hopes to grow its user base with the intention of converting them into insurance clients through targeted and experiential marketing.
Essentially, the app will monitor a driver's risky behavior, among other variables, such as a vehicle's driven mileage, to determine the safe-driving score, which is one of South Korea's first insurance carrier to have the access and ability to perform such calculations in real time.
In contrast to typical insurance applications of other insurers, the Members Auto leverages gamification to encourage safer driving while increasing the app's user engagement. Gamification is, at its essence, the inclusion of points, competition, and rewards and is deployed to elicit the desired results of proactive engagement of the users, higher interaction, and higher retention. As such, Carrot equipped the app with features, such as missions, progress status, cashable rewards, virtual characters with levels and badges, leaderboard, and progress bar.
Carrot expects that its new service will positively influence driver behavior, impart more effective safe-drive discipline of drivers, higher customer satisfaction, brand awareness, and product understanding. Furthermore, the app's user-friendly design, enhanced performance, streamlined UI/UX topped with consumable contents and helpful features will encourage users to take advantage of the app more often. Cash rewards earned by users who achieve safety goals can be used to pay for Carrot's insurance premiums, or at other partner retailers according to their preference.
"We've launched the Members Auto to accommodate safety and well-being of our current customers and the millions of drivers who are out on the road," said Paul Jung, CEO of Carrot. "We hope that incentivizing drivers to cultivate good road safety habits with financial rewards will reduce traffic incidents and build a safer community and achieve sounding loss ratio for our insurance business as well."
Carrot's announcement marks another step forward in its pursuit of behavioral-based auto insurance, referred to as UBI 2.0 project by the company. Moreover, Carrot anticipates that upcoming operational executions of the Members Auto platform business will be followed by reduced losses, dynamically priced premiums, and growth in its insurance customer base.

Dr Keith Souter writes: And of course, many people will have been enjoying all the summer berries. That is good, because research keeps showing how beneficial to one’s health berries are.
The very latest research from the University of East Anglia suggests that adding cranberries to your diet could help improve memory and brain function, and also lower ‘bad’ cholesterol. They seem to have a protective effect on the brain and the circulation.
This study looked at the effect of consuming the equivalent of a cup of cranberries a day among 50 to 80-year-olds. Previous research had shown that increasing dietary flavonoid intake is associated with slower rates of cognitive decline and dementia. In particular, berries which are rich in anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins, the natural substances that give them their red, blue, or purple colour, have been found to improve memory and thinking processes.
Cranberries are well known to have both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. The researchers wanted to see whether they could help improve age-related mental decline. Thy did so by looking at the effect on both brain function and cholesterol levels of eating cranberries for 12 weeks. They recruited 60 cognitively healthy participants. Half were given freeze-dried cranberry powder, the equivalent to a cup or 100g of fresh cranberries, daily. The other half consumed a placebo.
They found that the cranberries significantly improved the participants’ memory of everyday events and their neural functioning and brain perfusion.
Significantly they also reduced their LDL, or bad cholesterol. That in itself is important as it is a risk factor for arteriosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries.
Blueberries are probably the richest source of antioxidants among all of the fruit and vegetables.
This was demonstrated at the Human Research Centre on Ageing at Tufts University in Boston, where they tested 40 common fruits and vegetable, including oranges, spinach and broccoli, in order to ascertain their antioxidant levels. Blueberries came out top of the list with cranberries not far behind.
A similar study to the cranberry study carried out a few years ago by researchers at the University of California also showed that daily blueberries can lower LDL of bad cholesterol. | https://www.thestar.co.uk/health/drs-casebook-eating-berries-may-help-your-memory-and-cholesterol-3723772 | 2022-06-08T11:21:38Z | https://www.thestar.co.uk/health/drs-casebook-eating-berries-may-help-your-memory-and-cholesterol-3723772 | true | 8 |
Joining MAP Protocol & KuCoin Community Chain at Consensus 2022 in Austin Texas
NEW YORK, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Web3.0 social-fi pioneer Bit.Store will achieve a celebratory milestone on its mission to democratize investment when it gathers members of its virtual community at a live in-person event in Austin, Texas, during Consensus 2022. Billed as "a showcase and celebration of all that crypto has to offer," thousands of the world's brightest minds and impactful voices in crypto are expected to gather at the OMNI Hotel in Austin, Texas, June 9-12.

VANCOUVER, BC, June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ - Trilogy Metals Inc. (TSX: TMQ) (NYSE: TMQ) ("Trilogy" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that Ambler Metals LLC ("Ambler Metals"), the joint venture operating company equally owned by Trilogy and South32 Limited (ASX, LSE, JSE: S32; ADR: SOUHY) ("South32"), has commenced mobilization for the upcoming exploration field program at the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects ("UKMP") located in northwestern Alaska. The UKMP includes the Arctic (volcanogenic massive sulphide, or "VMS") deposit ("Arctic"), the Bornite (carbonate-hosted copper, or "CHC") deposit ("Bornite"), and prospective adjoining mining claims.
On May 11, 2022, the owners of Ambler Metals approved an updated summer field program resulting in an overall fiscal 2022 budget of approximately US$26.2 million for the advancement of the UKMP. The entire amount is fully funded by Ambler Metals and will consist of a minimum 10,000 meters of diamond drilling with additional meters contingent on drill performance, weather and approval of supplementary budgets.
The 2022 exploration program is aligned with the strategy developed by Trilogy and South32. Priorities are advancing Arctic with additional infill drilling to further improve the confidence in the resource and the completion of a geotechnical study to further de-risk the project. Exploration outside of the Arctic deposit will focus on discovering copper-rich satellite deposits near Arctic, and in the Cosmos Hills and the Ambler Lowlands along strike from Bornite (see Figure 1).
Preparations are underway with the mobilization of crews and equipment in progress, and drilling is expected to commence in early June. Major Drilling ("Major") was awarded a multi-year contract to provide three diamond drill rigs with crews. Major has experience at the UKMP from drill campaigns in 2017, 2018 and 2019. The drill program is helicopter-supported and is based out of Ambler Metals' expanded 90-person camp at Bornite.
Tony Giardini, President and CEO of Trilogy, commented, "I am very excited that we will soon be opening camp for the 2022 exploration program. We expect to commence drilling by early June with first assay results being available in early fall. The proposed exploration program will be one of the largest programs in the history of drilling within the Ambler Mining District and we expect that it will allow us to expand our geological knowledge of this emerging world-class mining district."
Richard Gosse, VP Exploration of Trilogy, commented, "We are pleased with the collaboration between South32, Ambler Metals and Trilogy geoscientists in developing this year's exploration program. The team had numerous meetings to interpret and discuss the results of last year's program and they've come up with some very compelling targets and target areas, ranging from reconnaissance targets to well mineralized prospects that have never previously been drilled – that are a priority for the Ambler Metals team to evaluate this summer."
Following last year's 4,100-meter (18-hole) infill, metallurgical and geotechnical drill program, this year's program involves a minimum 6,000 meters in 27 holes, as part of an 8,400-meter infill program to increase confidence from Indicated to Measured in areas of the mineral resource block model that would be mined during the first four years of production based on Trilogy's Feasibility Study[†] mine plan and with the highest estimated value (see Figure 2).
In addition, three to five holes totaling 500 to 750 meters are planned to complete a geotechnical and hydrogeological assessment of Arctic that SRK Consulting commenced last year.
During the 2021 field season, geological mapping near Arctic assisted in defining three shallow VMS targets that Ambler Metals plans to drill this summer (see Figure 3). All three targets are visible in the airborne electromagnetic ("EM") data acquired during the 2019 Versatile Time Domain Electromagnetic ("VTEM") survey that was recently reprocessed by Condor Geophysics. A first pass drill program at the three targets will require a minimum of 1,100 meters.
- Riley Ridge – Located 2km NW of Arctic. Conductor plate modelling defined a discrete conductor approximately 100 to 200 meters from surface, beneath meta-rhyolite and silicified graphite mica schist that are interpreted to be the immediate hanging wall of the projected Arctic horizon. The conductor is the easternmost in a string of VTEM anomalies that trends for 6km across the COU target area that was mapped by Ambler Metals last year.
- 98-9 – Located 3-4km NE of Arctic. The 98-9 prospect was discovered by Kennecott in 1998 but has never been drilled. Outcropping copper oxide mineralization occurs within a 50-meter vertical thickness of folded and altered Ambler sequence in two narrow gullies over 100 meters. Along strike to the south is a moderate airborne EM anomaly that is +500 meters in length and covered by alluvium. Kennecott completed three short soil lines over the EM anomaly, which produced a moderately strong Cu-Zn-Pb (+Ba-Cd-Au) anomaly. Further work was recommended, however Kennecott ceased exploration in the belt later that year.
- East Dead Creek – Located 6km NW of Arctic. East Dead Creek was discovered by Kennecott in 1998 while following up top ranked airborne EM anomalies. At the time, alteration at East Dead Creek was noted to be the most intense in the district outside of Arctic and a soil survey outlined a 1.4km by 1km area of anomalous base metal geochemistry. Due to weather and safety, Kennecott drilled only one of their five drill targets at East Dead Creek – hole 98-3-01 collared uphill of sub-cropping gossan, encountered three 1 to 4.5-meter-thick zones of semi-massive sulphides with chalcopyrite and sphalerite in the top 40 meters of the hole. Conductor plate modelling of the VTEM data defined several strong shallow conductors above a weakly conductive horizon interpreted to be the graphitic schist intersected in the lower part of hole 98-3-01. Ambler Metals' first hole will be directed towards the strongest of these shallow conductors, located about 600 meters up dip of the semi-massive sulphides in hole 98-3-01.
In addition, Ambler Metals plans to conduct additional geological mapping and soil sampling at several other VMS prospects in the belt, including Ambler, Dead Creek, Sunshine and COU, as well as at high-priority VTEM anomalies.
Last year's exploration program for CHC, including soil sampling, detailed structural mapping, relogging historical core, trenching and two drill holes, outlined four areas for drilling. This year, in addition to drilling, which is expected to total about 2,400 meters, further detailed mapping and soil sampling and a minimum 2,000 meters of trenching are planned around Pardner Hill and the Bornite East target area.
- Bornite West – Last year, hole RC21-267, a scout hole located 2km west of Bornite, encountered low grade copper in Bornite sequence carbonates. The intersection is encouraging as the hole was sited about one kilometer along the projected NE trend of mineralization at Pardner Hill, a 3km copper soil and rock geochemical anomaly in rubble cropping dolostone. Follow up holes, both up-dip and down-dip of hole RC21-267 are planned for this year.
- Pardner Hill Zone – From 1961 to 1964, Kennecott defined a zone of shallow stratabound copper mineralization over an area of approximately 150 meters by 400 meters and varying from 5 meters to 35 meters in thickness. The zone which is open to the northwest, west and southwest, will be tested with three holes this summer.
- Pardner Hill North – An additional two scout holes located 250 to 500 meters to the NE of the Pardner Hill mineralized zone are contingent on the results of the trenching program that will begin in June.
- Ambler Lowlands – The second hole Ambler Metals drilled targeting the Bornite sequence carbonates in 2021, hole ALL21-001, was a stratigraphic hole located in the Ambler Lowlands, a 10-kilometer-wide glaciated valley separating Arctic and Bornite that is virtually unexplored despite its proximity to these deposits. Hole ALL21-001 was designed to redrill one of the only two holes ever drilled in the valley – NANA-1, drilled in 1974, which historical drill logs show intersected dolomitized carbonate and carbonate breccia similar to the carbonates that host the Bornite deposit. Unfortunately, hole ALL21-001 was lost at a depth of 300 meters, above the expected depth of the Bornite sequence. Ambler Metals proposes to re-enter and complete the hole this summer contingent on drill production and weather.
Richard Gosse, P.Geo., Vice President Exploration for Trilogy, is a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Gosse has reviewed the scientific and technical information in this news release and approves the disclosure contained herein.
Trilogy Metals Inc. is a metals exploration and development company which holds a 50 percent interest in Ambler Metals LLC, which has a 100 percent interest in the Upper Kobuk Mineral Projects in northwestern Alaska. On December 19, 2019, South32, a globally diversified mining and metals company, exercised its option to form a 50/50 joint venture with Trilogy. The UKMP is located within the Ambler Mining District which is one of the richest and most-prospective known copper-dominant districts in the world. It hosts world-class polymetallic VMS deposits that contain copper, zinc, lead, gold and silver, and carbonate replacement deposits which have been found to host high-grade copper and cobalt mineralization. Exploration efforts have been focused on two deposits in the Ambler Mining District – the Arctic VMS deposit and the Bornite carbonate replacement deposit. Both deposits are located within a land package that spans approximately 181,387 hectares. Ambler Metals has an agreement with NANA Regional Corporation, Inc., an Alaska Native Corporation that provides a framework for the exploration and potential development of the Ambler Mining District in cooperation with local communities. Trilogy's vision is to develop the Ambler Mining District into a premier North American copper producer.

The Last Starship is the next game from the Prison Architect devs
Steam playtest available.Introversion Software, the studio behind Prison Architect, has revealed its next game: The Last Starship.
It's a similarly styled sim game, this time taking place in space - obviously. Players will construct a spaceship and go on adventures across multiple, procedurally generated star systems.
The team is quick to note the game is not even in alpha yet, but has released a lengthy video showing off gameplay with placeholder art - give it a watch below.
Players will be given a basic ship they can kit out with reactors, engines, air supplies and the like, which are connected through pipes and fuelled with various resources.
From there, swapping to tactical view allows for space travel using an FTL drive to visit distant star systems. There players can access a tradeboard to buy and sell hardware, equipment, and fuel, plus take on contracts: mining, rescuing, transportation, and deliveries.
The video then jumps to later in the game, featuring two spaceships mining in the midst of an asteroid field. The ships contain multiple cabins and features, the game's main hook being to start off simply and gradually build up a fleet of various capabilities.
TV shows like Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek are cited as key influences for their impending doom and sense of adventure. Elite, Factorio, and FTL are major gaming influences too.
Introversion's plan is to release the game in early access, just as it did with Prison Architect. For now, anyone interested can join the playtest process on the game's Steam page.

The Senzo Meyiwa murder trial has been postponed to Monday in the High Court in Pretoria following the emergence of a second docket.
The docket, opened in 2019, includes a recommendation by the director of public prosecutions in Gauteng that Longwe Twala, Kelly Khumalo, Gladness Khumalo, Zandile Khumalo, Mthokozisi Twala and Maggie Phiri be charged with murder and defeating the ends of justice.
Counsel for accused number 5, Zandile Mshololo has also deposed a statement concerning the crime.
Five men are on trial for the murder of the soccer star, who was shot and killed during an alleged robbery at the home of his girlfriend Kelly Khumalo’s mother in 2014.
SABC News’ Chriselda Lewis reports:
Counsel for the accused, advocate Mshololo paused her cross-examination of state witness, sergeant Thabo Mosia after the state only disclosed the existence of the second docket in the case on Wednesday.
Mosia also deposed a second statement concerning the crime.
Five men are on trial in the High Court in Pretoria for the murder of the goalie who was shot and killed during an alleged robbery at the home of his girlfriend Kelly Khumalo’s mother in 2014.
“And this is the second violation of accused no 5 Constitutional Rights. In the beginning, I had to ask for a postponement because of the late disclosure of the documents of certain witnesses two weeks before the trial started. Now the whole docket is disclosed when the trial has already started. Accused number 5 has been prejudiced by the behaviour of the state in this matter,” says advocate Mshololo.
Mshololo claims she needs clarity on the second docket before she can cross-examine Mosia.
“My Lord as a result of that, if there are two decisions, one taken by the DPP in South Gauteng High Court and one by DPP in North Gauteng High Court to charge the accused before this court. I need clarity on that My Lord, from the NPA before I can continue cross-examination regarding this document that is before this court, My Lord,” explains Mshololo.
