A fake campaign by environmental activists said Barbie-maker Mattel would go plastic-free by 2030. Outlets like People, The Washington Times , and Dow Jones Newswires reported that Mattel, the maker of Barbie and other toys like American Girl dolls and Hot Wheels, would go plastic-free by 2030. "With our plastic-free commitment, we denounce the empty promises of plastic recycling and take a bold step towards real ecological sustainability. By the end of the day, Yahoo News had the exclusive on the team behind the stunt : The Barbie Liberation Organization.

☆ Moscow makes bizarre claim that the US is planning bio-warfare against Russian troops in Ukraine as fears of disease grow after dam destruction
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-24 | by ( Isobel Van Hagen | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +4 min

The outlandish claim comes amid health concerns after the destruction of the Kakhovka dam in Ukraine. The bizarre claim comes after the destruction of a major dam near Kherson caused flooding along the Dnieper River in southern Ukraine earlier this month. "When bitten, mosquitoes can infect military personnel with a dangerous infection, such as malaria," he said. Alex Babenko/Getty ImagesWhile the bizarre claim appears to have little basis, the dam's destruction has caused fears over subsequent disease and health concerns. A military partisan movement said the Russian army has recently suffered a cholera outbreak after the destruction of the dam, Newsweek reported.

US officials believe these pro-Ukrainian agents inside Russia carried out a drone attack that targeted the Kremlin in early May by launching drones from within Russia rather than flying them from Ukraine into Moscow. But US officials believe that Ukraine has developed sabotage cells inside Russia made up of a mix of pro-Ukrainian sympathizers and operatives well-trained in this kind of warfare. Asked for comment, a spokesperson for the head of the Ukrainian Security Service suggested to CNN that the mysterious explosions and drone strikes inside Russia would continue. ‘A culmination of months of effort’There has been a steady drumbeat of mysterious fires and explosions inside Russia over the last year, targeting oil and fuel depots, railways, military enlistment offices, warehouses and pipelines.

☆ Kyiv is demanding F-16s and 2 Ukrainian pilots just proved they can master the jet 4 times faster than the Pentagon thought possible: report
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-19 | by ( Erin Snodgrass | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Ukrainian pilots can master F-16 jets in four months, per an Air Force document obtained by Yahoo News. The internal assessment is likely to ratchet up pressure on Biden to send Ukraine the planes. Four experienced US air force instructors assessed the Ukrainian pilots and determined the pilots could perform several "relatively technical" maneuvers, including landing after losing an engine and withstanding mock attacks, Yahoo News reported, citing the assessment. The two men were already qualified to operate a MiG-29 and Su-27 respectively, both Soviet-era fighter jets that comprise the majority of Ukraine's remaining air force, according to the outlet. But the report published by Yahoo on Thursday deduces that four months is a "realistic training timeline" for Ukrainian pilots to undergo training on the aircraft.

A new report suggests that Trump needed lotion before having his fingerprints taken by authorities. A law enforcement source told Yahoo News that was the only unplanned event that delayed his arraignment. A court employee had to provide lotion because his fingers were too dry to be fingerprinted, the report, which cited a law enforcement source, claimed. The only delay in his arraignment came when he needed to moisten his fingers with lotion, because they were too dry for authorities to take his fingerprints, per the report. There were zero people saying 'I'm sorry,'" the source told Yahoo.

Apparent classified US-Ukraine war plans were leaked or stolen, The New York Times reported Thursday. The documents, which may have been doctored, appeared on Twitter and Telegram. "We are aware of the reports of social media posts and the department is reviewing the matter," a Pentagon spokesperson told the Times.

☆ Hours from his own arraignment, Trump says Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg should 'INDICT HIMSELF'

Donald Trump said on Monday evening that Alvin Bragg should "INDICT HIMSELF." District Attorney Bragg just illegally LEAKED the various points, and complete information, on the pathetic Indictment against me," Trump wrote on Monday. "Now, if he wants to really clean up his reputation, he will do the honorable thing and, as District Attorney, INDICT HIMSELF," added Trump. It is also unclear what information Trump was referring to when he wrote on Monday about "various points" and "complete information" being leaked. Representatives for Trump and the Manhattan district attorney's office did not immediately respond to Insider's requests for comment sent outside regular business hours.

Trump wrote on his Truth Social profile shortly after arriving in New York from Florida on Monday, urging supporters to donate to his campaign. The arraignment, where Trump will be in court to hear charges and have a chance to enter a plea, was planned for 2:15 p.m. (1815 GMT) on Tuesday. Citing a single source briefed on Tuesday's arraignment procedures, Yahoo said none of the charges against Trump were misdemeanors. PROTESTS AND POPULARITYPolice over the weekend began erecting barricades near Trump Tower - where Trump arrived on Monday after flying in from Florida - and the Manhattan Criminal Court building, with demonstrations expected at both sites on Tuesday. On the Manhattan case, Trump in 2018 initially disputed knowing anything about the payment to Daniels.

Ron DeSantis spoke to a crowd Saturday about former President Donald Trump's indictment. He also appeared to use the speech as an opportunity to criticize Trump — though again without naming him. Ron DeSantis used a Saturday stop in Long Island to stick up for former President Donald Trump following his indictment, but the Florida politician avoided using Trump's name in the nearly hour-long speech. Following his indictment, Trump's popularity over DeSantis has grown, according to a Yahoo News/YouGov poll in which Trump beat DeSantis by 26 percentage points among registered Republican voters and Independents who lean Republican. Representatives for Trump and DeSantis did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

The ex-president now leads Ron DeSantis 57%-31%, up from a 47%-39% edge last month, per a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll. Republican voters in recent polls have shown distrust for the various criminal inquiries into Trump. In a wider match that includes eight other potential GOP candidates, 52% of Republican and likely Republican voters opted for Trump while just 21% polled for DeSantis. In a matchup between President Joe Biden and Trump, the Democratic commander-in-chief narrowly bested Trump, 45% to 43%, among registered voters. In a Yahoo News/YouGov survey conducted February, DeSantis even held a slight four-point lead (45%-41%) over Trump in a two-way race.

Russia plans to take over its neighbor Belarus, according to a leaked document from Putin's office. The plan is to create a "union state" led by Russia by 2030, the document says. The internal strategy document lays out how Russia plans to get rid of what remains of Belarus' independence over a years-long plan. This would involve gradually creating stronger pro-Russia sentiment, expanding Russia's military presence there, and making it easier for citizens to get Russian passports. The ultimate goal is to create a common "union state" that is under Russian leadership, it said.

A Russian claiming to have information on advanced jets sought asylum in the US late last year. He arrived at the southern border in December, with US officials treating his story as credible. The man said he worked on a jet that officials believe is Russia's most advanced strategic bomber. Officials worked to verify his story, and two government officials told Yahoo News that the man's story was deemed credible and significant enough for him to be passed on to the FBI in January. Some are now seeking asylum in Western counties, and are offering Russian secrets in exchange.

Trump said if reelected he won't go on a revenge tour even though he's 'entitled' to one. He went on a tirade against the New York Times and Washington Post for their reporting on Russiagate. "I was a victim," he told Hewitt. Trump said he planned to sue to have the outlets return their Pulitzer Prizes, calling the Washington Post the "Washington Compost." "The Pulitzer Prize is supposed to be for great reporting, for accurate reporting, congratulations," Trump told Hewitt.

“Around the country, MAGA extremists are lining up to take on those bedrock freedoms,” Mr. Biden said, using Mr. Trump’s Make America Great Again slogan to describe the former president’s allies. While he had repeatedly and consistently said he intended to run, Mr. Biden stoked renewed speculation by delaying his kickoff for months. Mr. Biden tapped Julie Chávez Rodríguez, a senior White House adviser and granddaughter of the iconic labor leader Cesar Chávez, as his campaign manager. But the operation is expected to be overseen from the White House by top presidential aides. While polls show that most Democrats have favorable opinions about Mr. Biden, a majority of them would still rather he not run again.

Trump's allies repeatedly rejected Kevin McCarthy as House speaker, displaying his power's limits. A week of House speaker chaos revealed one thing about Donald Trump: He can't get his MAGA house in order. The drama started on Tuesday, and it wasn't until Friday that McCarthy managed to make headway in flipping members' votes. "The president needs to tell Kevin McCarthy that, 'Sir, you do not have the votes, and it's time to withdraw.'" House members who are responding to the MAGA base have no reason to fear Trump on this, he said.
