LOS ANGELES (AP) — A woman charged with killing a high-profile marketing consultant and social justice advocate in film pleaded not guilty Monday. Jameelah Elena Michl, 36, entered the plea in Los Angeles Superior Court to charges of murder and burglary, with additional allegations that she used a firearm to commit the felonies. Prosecutors say she knocked on the door of the Los Angeles home of Michael Latt — then forced her way in and fatally shot him with a semi-automatic handgun on Nov. 27. Latt, 33, was a well-known consultant in Hollywood whose firm focused on social impact in film and entertainment. At the ceremony, Satter and the two directors she mentored who presented her the award, Coogler and Chloe Zhao, paid tribute to Latt.

☆ Opinion | Why on Earth Are Jewish Leaders Praising Elon Musk?

(In response, Musk threatened a “thermonuclear” lawsuit, but as of this writing does not appear to have filed one.) Abhorrence of the Jewish state slips easily into abhorrence of Jews. On the right, though, there’s a mirror image of this slippage, with some defenders of the Jewish state willing to make excuses for antisemites so long as they champion Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel has regularly embraced nationalist leaders who deploy antisemitic tropes, Donald Trump chief among them. It’s hard to figure out who is behaving more cynically, Musk or the Jewish leaders who are koshering him.

BRIGHTON, Colo. (AP) — Jurors convicted a Denver-area police officer Thursday and acquitted another of charges in the 2019 death of Elijah McClain, a Black man whose name became a rallying cry in protests over racial injustice in policing. Roedema and another officer who was not charged held down McClain while paramedics administered the ketamine. The case initially did not receive widespread attention, but protests over the killing of George Floyd the following year sparked outrage over McClain’s death. Paramedics injected McClain with ketamine as Roedema and another officer who was not charged held him on the ground. However, Cina still was not able to say if the death was a homicide or an accident or if the officers’ actions contributed to McClain’s death.

☆ ADL says it will resume advertising on X following feud with Elon Musk

New York CNN —The Anti-Defamation League on Wednesday said it plans to resume advertising on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, following a spat with owner Elon Musk. Musk last month threatened to sue the ADL for defamation, claiming that the nonprofit organization’s statements about rising hate speech on the social media platform had hurt X’s advertising revenue. But the group says it will continue to monitor for antisemitic content on X. Two brands in August paused their ad spending on X after their advertisements ran alongside an account promoting Nazism. A search on Wednesday for Greenblatt’s name immediately surfaced multiple hateful and antisemitic tweets about the ADL leader.

☆ Opinion | The Straitjacket of Minority Rule

One of the most influential books of the Trump years was “How Democracies Die” by the Harvard government professors Steven Levitsky and Daniel Ziblatt. Because that volume was prescient about how Donald Trump would try to rule, I was surprised to learn, in Levitsky and Ziblatt’s new book, “Tyranny of the Minority,” that they were shocked by Jan. 6. But at the time, he said, “we didn’t consider or call the Republican Party an authoritarian party. “Societal diversity, cultural backlash and extreme-right parties are ubiquitous across established Western democracies,” they write. And only in America is the coup leader likely to once again be the nominee of a major party.

Tun Min Latt is in pre-trial detention; his lawyer could not be reached for comment. Min Aung Hlaing’s two children face no legal action over the assets, according to the two people with knowledge of the case. They added that Thai authorities did not consider them relevant to the investigation against Tun Min Latt. The discovery of the documents indicated close ties between Tun Min Latt and the Myanmar junta chief’s family. Since the coup, Min Aung Hlaing’s forces have launched a bloody crackdown on dissent, killing thousands of opponents, according to the United Nations, which accuses Myanmar's troops of war crimes and crimes against humanity.

☆ В Молдове продается самый дешевый бензин в Европе. Но есть нюансы

При этом сравнение стоимости топлива на заправках в Молдове и странах ЕС показало, что в Молдове до сих пор остаются самые низкие цены на бензин и солярку. По данным исследования, в апреле цена за литр бензина дошла до €0,93 евро, и до €0,77 за дизельное топливо. Дороже всего бензин покупают в Нидерландах — по €1,76 за литр, а дизельное топливо — в Швеции — по €1,55 за литр. По оценкам экспертов, в Молдове самый низкий среди европейских стран акциз на топливо — €0,23. Оно теперь будет следить за тем, как импортеры нефтепродуктов устанавливают максимальные цены на топливо в зависимости от котировок Platt’s.

xЧто говорят в администрации президентаПрезидент Майя Санду пока не промульгировала проект поправок в закон «О рынке нефтепродуктов», который предполагает новый способ формирования цен на топливо. Он привел в пример статью 2 из документа, которая предусматривает отмену ст.13 п.1 из закона «О рынке нефтепродуктов». «Я понимаю, что очень сложно взять на себя ответственность и вернуть закон парламенту, который сможет его пересмотреть не раньше конца лета-осени. По его словам, если бы закон изменили еще в феврале прошлого года, ситуация на рынке топлива бы ла бы совсем другой. Что говорят экспертыЭксперт в энергетике Виктор Парликов заявил, что рассчитывает на президента, который воспользуется правом вернуть закон на доработку уже новому парламенту.

Несмотря на то, что он конфиденциальный, некоторые депутаты уже заявили, что на рынке топлива действует картельный сговор, а компании зарабатывают миллионы. В 2019 доллар стоил 17,2 лея, в 2020 — 17,6 лея, в 2021 — 17,5 лея. Кому-то очень сильно хочется создать топливный колапс в Молдове и использовать его в политических целях. Тогда при увеличении цены на мировом рынке можно продавать топливо из резерва, таким образом не допуская значительного роста цен. Почему же власти не решаются применять в Молдове свободные цены на топливо?
