An intercepted conversation between two Russian FSB officers, published by Ukrainian military intelligence, reveals another senior military officer has been killed. Russian forces in Kharkiv have accidentally taken out their own secure communications systems by destroying the 3G towers they depend on, it has been reported. Ukraine's military has shared an intercepted call captured as a result, reporting the death of Major General Vitaly Gerasimov to someone identified as a senior Russian intelligence officer by Bellingcat's Christo Grozev. The incident is the latest evidence of the technological and equipment challenges facing Russia's invasion force, as indicated by photographs of civilian...

The charges include armed robbery, possession of a firearm, auto theft, flight from an officer and – in one case alone – 18 burglaries related to car break-ins. NEW ORLEANS — Of the four teenaged defendants who appeared in juvenile court Wednesday after being booked in the fatal carjacking of 73-year-old Linda Frickey, who was dragged to her death Monday afternoon in front of horrified witnesses, 17-year-old John Honore stood out. Not only because Honore's three co-defendants were 15-year-old females, but because of the number of times he has been in that court over the past several years. WWL-TV obtained...

There is a “realistic possibility” that Russian forces “facing considerable supply and morale issues” may be encircled by Ukrainian counter-attackers near Kyiv (Kiev). “Ukraine is increasing pressure on Russian forces north-east of Kyiv. Russian forces along this axis are already facing considerable supply and morale issues,” the British government’s Ministry of Defence asserted in a Defence Intelligence update on Wednesday. “Ukrainian forces are carrying out successful counter attacks against Russian positions in towns on the outskirts of the capital, and have probably retaken Makariv and Moschun,” they continued, adding that “There is a realistic possibility that Ukrainian forces are now...

Celebration canceled over violations of FBI commitment to nonpartisanship The Washington Free Beacon received an internally circulated email from the FBI's Los Angeles Women's and Black Affairs Committees, dated March 11, that advertised a "save the date" for an interview with the agency's assistant director in charge for the L.A. field office and a "nomination party" for Jackson on March 23.

Another email was sent by a member of the field office's Diversity and Inclusion department on the following day, March 12, to cancel the celebration for Jackson. The...

When CTH outlined the ‘Destination Handbasket’ framework {Go Deep}, we had no idea Blackrock CEO Larry Fink was essentially going to confirm the premise of our prediction. Keep in mind, any digital currency can only work if there is a digital identity attributed to it – what some have called a digital passport which then creates a crypto wallet. I have based the framework, of what appears to be over the horizon, on a set of inevitable geopolitical outcomes if the current path is continued. The letter by Blackrock CEO Larry Fink [LINK] seems to affirm the strongest likelihood of...

The ferry operator sacked 800 of its staff by video call today, replacing them with cheap agency workers Nigel Farage has slammed P&O Ferries for making hundreds of staff redundant with immediate effect. Speaking on GB News, Nigel Farage said: "How are we going to protect British workers? Is this just the modern, globalised world that we live in? "This is one of the most cynical sackings I have ever seen in my life. "People who voted Brexit voted for better than this. The government had better have a very very rapid think about how it responds. "It's a disgrace....

“Squishy and smooth, kids and adults alike will love the soothing sensory experience of Orbeez!” Spin Master Ltd., the company behind Orbeez, explains on its website. “There’s no limit to the ways you can play. Explode them, squish them, squeeze them, bounce them, crush them or let them flow through your hands! Use your imagination and have endless amounts of fun with Orbeez!” The official description sounds innocuous enough.

The man who helped his roommate skip town after killing two people at a Clovis bar is now officially serving a jail sentence. The victims' families talked about that pain in court Thursday, and also about the hatred they feel towards the shooter and the man they say is just as much to blame. Savannah Gonzalez didn't pull any verbal punches when she talked about Anthony Guzman. "I can't even express the hate we feel towards you," she said. "To say we hate you is actually an understatement." Her brother-in-law was 21-year-old Merehildo Luna. Police say Eddie Cordero gunned down...

President Donald Trump has sued failed Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton and others for falsely accusing him of colluding with Russia during the 2016 presidential election:

The war in Ukraine is making politicians and citizens think again about Finland’s signing of the Ottawa Mine Ban Treaty of 1997 to eliminate anti-personnel landmines by November 2011. The treaty aims to eliminate the production, stockpiling, storage and use of land mines worldwide. The decision to join the Ottawa Treaty caused controversy in 2011, but it was approved by parliament with 110 in favour and 47 against. The treaty’s strongest advocates were peace organisations and the then-president Tarja Halonen (SDP), while the defence ministry at the time disagreed. The land border between Finland and Russia is 1,300 kilometres long,...

My father , known to his mates as Rick Fox, faced Japanese bullets in the last major battle of Word War Two and saw his friends die on the beach at Balikpapan in July 1945. They did this for freedom. His father before him, Arthur Clampett Fox, was, as oral family history leads me to believe, one of the first people in Australia to speak up against Hitler's mistreatment of the Jews in the 1930's. My mum's dad, Ralph Blanchard, campaigned strongly for the united Nations as an answer to totalitarianism in the aftermath of World War Two. When I...

Three French nuclear missile submarines have been deployed at sea simultaneously for the first time in three decades as a response to Russian nuclear sabre-rattling. Two of France’s four Triomphant-class ballistic missile submarines have left their base at Ile Longue, south of Brest, bolstering the single vessel that is normally on permanent patrol under the Atlantic, according to the Telegramme, the newspaper of the Breton port. The last time three were deployed at once was in the decade before the end of the Cold War during a US-Soviet standoff over medium-range missiles in Europe.

In about half of people, mental illnesses arise before age 18 - add climate change fears and the outlook is grim Suppose you wake up in the night and you notice flames coming from downstairs. You ring for the fire brigade and they say you’re probably imagining it. Anyway, they add, by the time they could get there it would be too late anyway. As you watch your house burn, your feelings might include anger, a sense of betrayal and grief. Is that an extreme metaphor for the feelings of young people towards older generations and governments in regard to...
