... Acquire Licensing Rights Read moreLONGMONT, Colorado, Nov 6 (Reuters) - A Colorado jury found police officer Nathan Woodyard not guilty of manslaughter in the 2019 killing of Elijah McClain, a young Black man who died after police placed him in a chokehold during an arrest and medics injected him with a sedative. Two paramedics face separate trials this month for their role in giving McClain ketamine, a powerful sedative at times used on highly agitated patients. The death of McClain, 23, inspired sweeping police reforms in Colorado in 2020, including the banning of chokeholds like the one he was put in. "Nathan Woodyard did not kill Elijah McClain, he's not responsible for what other people did," defense attorney Andrew Ho said in his closing argument. "Ketamine is what killed Elijah McClain."

Opinion | A Plan to Defeat Hamas and Avoid a Bloodbath

Hamas’s master plan, as Bennett sees it, is roughly as follows: Provoke, via its gruesome massacres on Oct. 7, a massive Israeli ground invasion. Already, nearly 800,000 Gazans have fled from north to south, despite efforts by Hamas to keep them in place. “They’re asking for fuel not for their citizens but for their tunnels,” which are used exclusively by Hamas fighters and their allies. “I don’t want to get into a Viet Cong-type war of tunnels,” Bennett says. But the question isn’t whether Bennett’s plan is perfect or if there are gaps to fill.

That fell to 21-22 million tonnes by 2021, and after Russia invaded last year, output hit 6.3 million in 2022. But even with consumption nearly doubling to 2.6 million tonnes between January and September, that is not enough to sustain a sector that used to export four fifths of its output. Zaporizhstal expects to export two thirds of its 2.4-2.5 million tonnes of iron ore and rolled steel production in 2023. Before the invasion, output was 4.2 million tonnes a year. "We can say that blackouts last winter (reduced) steel production by two to three times," Zinchenko said, citing production data for the months when blackouts were most regular.

Graphite has uses in strategic markets ranging from energy storage to nuclear power. Photo: FABIAN BIMMER/REUTERSHONG KONG—China is strengthening restrictions on exports of graphite, a key mineral needed for the production of electric-vehicle batteries and fuel cells, the latest move in an intensifying global tussle over the building blocks of critical technologies. Citing national-security concerns, China’s Commerce Ministry said Friday that exports of several categories of natural and synthetic graphite materials would require permits under a system used to control trade in items with dual civilian and military uses starting Dec. 1.

Mitch McConnell on Wednesday called for the motion to vacate House rule to be scrapped. McConnell said the provision made the House Speaker's role "impossible." AdvertisementAdvertisementSenate Minority Mitch McConnell on Wednesday called for House Republicans to ditch the rule that allowed for Kevin McCarthy's ouster. Speaking to reporters the day after McCarthy lost the position, McConnell said he thinks the motion to vacate makes the Speaker's job "impossible." "I have no advice to give House Republicans except one: I hope whoever the next Speaker is, gets rid of the motion to vacate," he said.

Much of the furor is directed at Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz, the ringleader of the McCarthy rebellion. “I think it’s very sad that this is obviously politically personally motivated,” Murphy said of Gaetz’s push to oust McCarthy. “I don’t think Markwayne Mullin and I have said 20 words to each other on the House floor. Republicans in the group will huddle as a unit next week to decide their next steps, the lawmaker said. “I have no advice to give to House Republicans except one – I hope whoever the next speaker is gets rid of the motion to vacate,” McConnell said.

Representative Garret Graves, a longtime McCarthy ally, called the current rule structure "completely dysfunctional". The motion to vacate rule is enshrined in the U.S. House's governing manual, but the specifics of it are left to each Congress to decide. Before 2019, the motion to vacate was considered a privileged motion, which any one member could bring to the House floor. But after two Republican speakers were threatened with and ultimately left office over the move, Democratic Speaker Nancy Pelosi pushed a rule change that required a majority of the conference to support a motion to vacate. Representative Jim Jordan, who is running for speaker, said he would leave any rule change up to the conference.

This first trial involves city of Aurora police officer Randy Roedema and former officer Jason Rosenblatt, who are both charged with manslaughter, criminally negligent homicide and other charges. Local prosecutors at first declined to press charges in McClain's death. Aurora police officer Nathan Woodyard, who is accused of putting McClain in a chokehold, will stand trial alone on the same charges in October. Two paramedics who injected McClain with ketamine are scheduled for a joint trial on the same charges in November. The other two officers and the paramedics have been suspended without pay pending the outcome of the trial.

Like Jenin, the Gaza Strip also has a history of resistance against Israeli occupation. Alongside food restriction policies and an economic chokehold, this took the form of devastating military assaults. In the time between the two invasions of Jenin, Palestinians throughout the West Bank have been systematically funneled — through land expropriation, home demolitions and expansion of settlements — into isolated urban centers surrounded by land occupied by Israel. Just like Gaza, most urban centers in the West Bank can now be, overnight, entirely severed from the ecosystem around them, as was witnessed in Jenin. “We have to settle the land of Israel and at the same time need to launch a military campaign, blow up buildings, assassinate terrorists.

Daniel Penny learned the "rear choke" that killed Jordan Neely in boot camp, Marine veterans tell Insider. What Penny learned about chokeholds in his Marine training will be key at that trial, as a Manhattan judge or jury weighs whether Penny was negligent, or reckless, or neither. An illustration of a "figure-four variation" of a rear chokehold from the Marine Corps martial arts program training manual. The chokehold that killed Neely was "sloppy" and "excessive," said Alex Hollings, a former Marine black belt. We call this 'sinking your heels in,' and it provides added control and leverage for the choke," Hollings said.

NEW YORK, June 28 (Reuters) - The former U.S. Marine sergeant accused of fatally strangling Jordan Neely, a homeless man, in a chokehold in a New York City subway car last month is due in court on Wednesday to enter a plea to a grand jury indictment charging him in the killing. The killing drew national attention and sparked protests in May by those angered by the police's delay of more than a week in arresting Penny, who is white, with killing Neely, a Black man. Penny was questioned by police that day but would not be arrested and make an initial court appearance until 11 days after the killing. Penny and his lawyers have indicated that he will plead not guilty to any criminal charge for the killing.

Mr. Penny was arrested and arraigned on May 12, but the law required that the district attorney, Alvin L. Bragg, persuade a grand jury that there was reasonable cause to believe Mr. Penny had committed a crime before proceeding with the case. The grand jury process heavily favors prosecutors and, for many defendants, a vote to indict is expected. Mr. Penny had been expected to testify before the grand jury, but it is unclear whether he did so. Mr. Penny said that he had not meant to kill Mr. Neely and was instead trying to restrain him. Prosecutors would have to prove to a jury that Mr. Penny caused Mr. Neely’s death and used the chokehold knowing that it could kill.

NEW YORK, June 14 (Reuters) - A New York grand jury on Wednesday voted to indict Daniel Penny, a former U.S. Marine sergeant, in last month's killing of Jordan Neely with a chokehold on a Manhattan subway car, according to local media, citing unnamed law enforcement sources. Penny, 24, was captured in videos recorded by bystanders putting Neely in a chokehold on May 1 while they rode on an F train in Manhattan. The killing renewed debate about gaps in the city's support systems for New Yorkers without homes or with psychiatric illness. Penny has said he acted to defend himself and other passengers on the train, and did not intend to kill Neely. The charge or charges brought in the grand jury indictment are expected to be unsealed later.

Mark Zuckerberg has taken to improving his physique as he gets more interested in jiu-jitsu. In May, Zuckerberg participated in his first tournament and was choked unconscious, NYT reports. The road to Mark Zuckerberg's gold and sliver medals at a recent jiu-jitsu tournament apparently came with a few bumps, according to a new report. Zuckerberg didn't respond to a request for comment from the Times, and Meta, where Zuckerberg is CEO, didn't respond to a request from Insider. "I really like watching UFC because I also like doing the sport," Zuckerberg told Joe Rogan.

A frequent flyer who's been "skiplagging" for more than a decade said she doesn't feel guilty because airlines have a "chokehold on prices." "Ultimately I have no remorse and no angst about using hidden-city tickets," she told Insider. Partlow recently paid $71 for a "hidden-city" flight from New York to Savannah, Georgia with a connection in Charlotte, North Carolina. Partlow said she's never been caught or faced any backlash for skiplagging, but as a frequent flyer, she's aware that airlines are trying to clamp down on it. "They really try to get you if you're getting a hidden-city ticket," she said.
The South Carolina House of Representatives is called back by Gov. "This is a great day for life in South Carolina, but the fight is not over. We stand ready to defend this legislation against any challenges and are confident we will succeed," Republican South Carolina Gov. The new law signed by South Carolina governor's will change that status, according to Caitlin Myers, an economics professor at Middlebury College. Over the past two months, Republican officials in North Carolina, South Carolina and Florida have pushed Virginia closer to being a regional outlier as a place with relatively permissive access.
