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.

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.

Elon Musk is the richest person in the world thanks to the rise of #Tesla shares

  Tesla stock After Elon Musk became the richest person in the world thanks to the recent rise of Tesla shares, Morgan Stanley analyst Adam Jonas said that SpaceX will push Musk to become a "trillionaire." The space exploration company is challenging any preconceived notion of what was feasible and the possible timeframe, in terms of rockets, launch vehicles and supporting infrastructure who can catch up, Jonas added in a note entitled SpaceX Jump Fast forward. SpaceX now makes up less than 17% of Musk's net worth of $241.4 billion, according to the Bloomberg Rich List, after the company was valued at $100 billion in a secondary stock sale earlier in October. Jonas, who currently values SpaceX for $200 billion, added that he views it as a multi-company, encompassing space infrastructure, Earth observation, deep space exploration and other industries. Tesla’s valuation tops $1 trillion after Hertz’s plan to buy 100,000 Tesla EVs
