The jury in the Kyle Rittenhouse case is already on its second day of deliberations

  The jury in the "Kyle Rittenhouse" case is already on its second day of deliberations. The jury in the "Kyle Rittenhouse" case is already on its second day of deliberations On Wednesday in Kenosha, Wisconsin, jurors began their second day of deliberations in the Kyle Rittenhouse trial. The jury deliberated all day Tuesday without reaching a decision, and they notified the court that they would return in the morning to complete their investigation. In the August 2020 shootings in Kenosha that killed Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber and injured Gaige Grosskreutz after a tumultuous night of protests following the police death of Jacob Blake, Rittenhouse faces five felony counts. Rittenhouse, then 17 years old, maintains he was acting in self-defense. He stated that he traveled to Kenosha equipped with an AR-15 like weapon to assist with the protection of local businesses and to offer first aid. Last week, he testified in his own defense, breaking down in tears when...

Dubai ruler ordered the hacking of Princess Haya and her British lawyer's phones

 

Princess Haya and her British lawyer's phones

The ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, directed the hacking of the phone of his wife, Princess Haya of Jordan, and her British lawyer, the High Court in London said Wednesday, in the context of the custody case for their two children.

The court found that the 72-year-old vice president and prime minister of the UAE had given "explicit or tacit authorization" to hack into the phone of his sixth wife, Princess Haya Bint Al Hussein, using the Pegasus spyware, in facts discovered in August 2020.


He also authorized the introduction of this program into the phones of lawyers, the personal assistant and two members of the security team of his 47-year-old wife, against whom he launched a "campaign of intimidation and intimidation."

Once installed, Pegasus can track a person's location, read their messages and emails, listen to their calls, record their live activity, access apps and photos, and remotely operate the camera and microphone.

It has not been proven that the hacking was linked to the UK legal confrontation between him and his wife to return their 13-year-old daughter, Al Jalila, and their nine-year-old son, Zayed, to Dubai. But spying on the phone allowed to extract 265 megabytes of data (the equivalent of 24 hours of audio recording or 500 photographs).

Judge Andrew MacFarlane said Wednesday that even if the surveillance was carried out "without doubt by servants or agents of the father", the ruler of Dubai "is prepared to use the arm of the state to obtain what he considers right." He asserted that he "harassed and intimidated the mother before she left for England and since then...is willing to allow those acting on his behalf to do so illegally in the UK".

The princess, who is the half-sister of King Abdullah II of Jordan, demanded measures to protect her daughter from being subjected to forced marriage, as well as measures to protect her herself, after she fled in early 2019 from the United Arab Emirates to England.

NASA launches Lucy to space

  A NASA spacecraft loaded with diamonds blasted into space on Saturday, on a 12-year mission to explore eight asteroids. Seven mysterious space objects are among swarms of asteroids orbiting Jupiter, which are believed to be original remnants of the planet's formation. The Atlas V rocket blasted off before dawn, carrying the Lucy spacecraft on a twisting orbital flight of nearly 6.3 billion kilometres. The craft is named after the 3.2 million-year-old skeletal remains of a human ancestor found in Ethiopia nearly half a century ago. The discovery got its name from the 1967 Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds," which prompted NASA to send the spacecraft to fly along with the band members' song. The spacecraft also carried a lab-produced diamond disk for one of its science instruments. The paleoanthropologist behind the discovery of the "Lucy" fossil, Donald Johansson, said he was astonished by this intersection between our past, present and future. ...

Trump Israel lost control of Congress

"Trump" Israel lost control of Congress   Former US President Donald Trump considered the biggest change he saw in Congress was the transfer of power from Israeli-influenced lawmakers to anti-Israel politicians In statements to the "570 KVI" ​​radio program, Trump said, "Israel took control of the Congress in the country 10 or 15 years ago, and its influence was very strong, but today it is almost the opposite. Trump has criticized Ilhan Omar, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and other members of the so-called "squad" of progressive Democratic lawmakers in the US Congress who have firm positions against pro-Israel policy. Trump added, "Well, you know the biggest change I've seen in Congress is that Israel literally owned Congress, you understand that 10-15 years ago, and [their influence] was very strong and today it's the opposite." Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Ilhan Omar, and those people who hate Israel, they hate it passionately....

The US authorities confirmed the registration of the new AY.4.2 strain of Corona virus in the United States

The American authorities confirmed the registration of the new AY.4.2 strain of the Corona virus in the United States, adding that they had no information about the emergence of foci or the increase in the number of infected people. In a press briefing Wednesday, Rochelle Valinsky, head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, said that the center records "from time to time" the spread of this new strain, which was recently discovered in Britain, but she indicated that there is no data to indicate that this strain undermines the effectiveness of the vaccine or drugs used. And she confirmed that the main mutator circulating in the United States of the emerging Corona virus is the “delta” mutant, explaining that 99.7 percent of “Covid-19” patients are infected with it. Earlier, British scientists announced the spread of a new, more lethal version of the "Delta" mutant in the country, noting that AY.4.2 may become 10-15% more dangerous than the "Delta...
