Allegations of the sexual abuse of Palestinian prisoners by members of the Israeli military are “horrific,” the United States has said, after a graphic video broadcast on Israeli news added fuel to mounting criticism of the U.S. ally’s conduct in the war in Gaza. “We have seen the video, and reports of sexual abuse of detainees are horrific,” Miller said, adding that the reports should be “fully” investigated by the Israeli government. “There ought to be zero tolerance for sexual abuse, rape of any detainee, period,” he added. “No circumstances, however exceptional, can ever justify torture or ill-treatment.”Israeli soldiers load naked Palestinian prisoners onto a bus in a photo sent to NBC News by Mustafa Barghouti, Palestinian Legislative Council member.

The Brooklyn, New York, apartment building of Columbia University’s chief operating officer was vandalized Thursday with red paint and crickets, police said. A preliminary investigation determined that two people threw red paint inside the building’s vestibule and unleashed a box containing crickets and mealworms, police said in a statement. Several other people involved caused “damage to the front of the building by throwing paint on the building and sidewalk,” according to police. Photos released by police showed red paint splattered across the sidewalk and on the wall of the building.

’Tis the season for vacations, so let me make my pitch that the best travel is not lounging at a beach resort but rather journeying into a different world. So I preach both travel and prudence, and on a recent book tour, I found myself often asked about travel advice I had mentioned in my memoir. The most memorable travel often involves encountering something unfamiliar, so consider escaping the herds parading through Paris. A teenager from an affluent family in the New York or Boston areas would step into a different world by taking a ranch job in Wyoming. And this is the kind of travel that is not only affordable but actually pays for the experience.

Police had not publicly speculated on a motive or announced an arrest in connection with the killing as of Thursday. Homicide detectives were investigating her death and no further details regarding her death were available, Baltimore police Detective Niki Fennoy told CNN on Thursday. The impact of anti-trans violence negatively impacts our mental health and our ability to live healthy and happy lives,” Cooper told CNN. “I’m very stressed and distraught about the death of Tai, especially in this time due to her tragic and violent death,” Desire Bandz, a 30-year-old transgender woman also living in Baltimore, told CNN. Maryland has had 18 killings of transgender people since 2013 – the eighth-highest total by state in that time, tied with Illinois, according to HRC.

It was meant to be another night of violence at the hands of the far right. “It shows that when everyone comes out to support, their numbers dwindle.”Large crowds gathered at an anti-racism protest in Walthamstow on Wednesday, where far-right violence had been expected. The fury simmering in a subset of White Britain remains a live danger; these riots were shocking, but not entirely surprising. “I normally walk through this city center all the time,” Nadeem Akhtar, 18, told CNN in the northern English city of Sheffield, where angry riots took place. Tommy Robinson, the figurehead of Britain’s far right, was reinstated to X (then Twitter) days after Elon Musk bought the platform.

Read previewElon Musk might just be losing any hopes he had of one-upping his arch nemesis, Mark Zuckerberg. A lost battleElon Musk is facing a tougher battle with Mark Zuckerberg's social media empire. Beata Zawrzel/Getty ImagesOne of Musk's biggest challenges in turning X into a legitimate rival to Zuckerberg's social media platforms is generating revenue. In Musk's own words, it's a declaration of "war" with the very people he needs to boost falling revenue at X. But none of this helps Musk in its effort to outdo Zuckerberg at his own social media game and widen X's appeal.

CNN —Alleged Sinaloa cartel co-founder Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada, in a statement released by his attorney, reiterated the claim he was “ambushed” and “kidnapped” by a son of notorious drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzmán and hand-delivered to US authorities. In a room with a table topped with fruit, Zambada said, Joaquín Guzmán gestured for the cartel boss to follow him to a dark room nearby. He said he was driven to a landing strip and forced onto a private plane, where Joaquín Guzmán removed his hood and bound him to a seat using zip ties. One version has Joaquín Guzmán duping Zambada to orchestrate their arrest, US law enforcement officials have told CNN. Zambada is expected to be transferred to New York from Texas, one official told CNN.

Also Friday, amid mounting pressure, Sangamon County Sheriff Jack Campbell announced he would retire by Aug. 31, saying it had become clear that he could not continue effectively in his role. The encounter ended with Grayson shooting Massey in the head. After shooting Massey, Grayson discouraged the other deputy from rendering aid, citing the severity of her injury, according to body camera video. The deputy still rendered aid and stayed with Massey until medical help arrived, prosecutors have said. On July 17, Grayson was fired from the Sangamon County Sheriff’s Office, where he had been employed since May 2023.

Colleen Hoover’s bestselling novel-turned-film adaptation “It Ends With Us” is stirring controversy ahead of its opening weekend, with online sleuths speculating over alleged behind-the-scenes drama between cast members. Baldoni optioned the film in 2019 with Wayfarer Studios, and later signed on to direct and star in it. Representatives for Baldoni, Lively and Hoover did not immediately respond to requests for comment. “The iconic rooftop scene, my husband actually wrote it,” Lively told E! When asked about whether he'd be interested in directing a sequel, Baldoni told "Entertainment Tonight," “I think that there are better people for that one."

Protesters rallied outside Bulgaria’s parliament on Thursday to denounce a controversial legal amendment adopted the day before that bans talk of LGBTQ and so-called nontraditional sexual choices in schools. The amendment bans the “promotion, popularization and support of ideas and opinions related to non-traditional sexual orientation or sexual identification other than biological” in schools. Protesters rally outside Bulgaria's parliament on Thursday in Sofia, Bulgaria. Bulgaria has also declined to ratify the Istanbul Convention on preventing violence against women, because of widespread belief it means to promote LGBTQ rights. European rights groups, like the Belgium-based Forbidden Colors, condemned the legislation as an assault on the fundamental rights of LGBTQ individuals, particularly children.

“Police violence hasn’t stopped,” said Sirry Alang, professor of Black communities and social determinants of health at the University of Pittsburgh. And in the decade since, data shows there has not been an increase in charges brought against officers. Philip Stinson, a professor of criminal justice at Bowling Green State University, has tracked cases of police officers charged with murder or manslaughter resulting from on-duty shootings since 2005. Data is aggregated from publicly accessible media sources and reviewed by Campaign Zero’s researchers. The database shows that documented police killings have steadily increased in recent years.

The historic endorsement of the Democratic presidential ticket is the first for the civil rights group, which formed in 1929 to protect the rights of Americans of Mexican descent. LULAC leaders announced the endorsement first to NBC News and plan to join Harris and Walz at a rally in Las Vegas on Saturday. The Trump campaign never replied. In 1956, LULAC President Felix Tijerina personally endorsed the Eisenhower-Nixon ticket. LULAC members were active in Viva Kennedy clubs in 1960 and members have supported local Mexican American candidates, such as El Paso Mayor Raymond Telles.

The Russian cruise missile that slammed into a children’s hospital in Kyiv last month left behind clues about Russia’s defense industry after more than two years of war. That suggests Russian forces are using weapons like it as soon as they roll off the production line, the group said. But it is also proof that Russia has continued to produce advanced weapons despite Western-led sanctions aimed at slowing their production. The July 8 attack on the hospital killed two people and injured more than 30, including eight children, according to the hospital’s director. It was one of the worst days of violence against Ukrainian civilians in months as Russian forces targeted cities across the country.

This escalated into days of riots in the U.K. that saw attacks on mosques, immigration centers and hotels that house asylum seekers. The disinformation circulated online tapped into pre-existing biases and prejudice, Ondrak explained, adding that incorrect reports often thrive at times of heightened emotions. Many of the right-wing protestors claim the high number of migrants in the U.K. fuels crime and violence. Ondrak also noted that many groups that had previously circulated false information about the attack had started walking it back, saying it was a hoax. On Wednesday, the U.K. media regulator Ofcom issued a letter to social media platforms saying they shouldn't wait for the new law to come into force.

CNN —American rapper Travis Scott was arrested in Paris early Friday morning after getting into a fight with his bodyguard, authorities in the French capital said. Scott was subsequently arrested for “violence against another person,” according to a police spokesman. Scott, who was in Paris for the Olympic Games, on Thursday attended the men’s basketball semi-final that saw the United States beat Serbia. He was arrested for “violence against a security guard,” the Paris prosecutor’s office said later on Friday. Scott was arrested and booked into Miami-Dade County Jail in June on charges of trespass and disorderly intoxication.

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris and Republican presidential nominee and former U.S. President Donald Trump. But they also think the candidate best able to improve the economy is the de facto Democratic nominee Harris, not Republican nominee and former President Donald Trump. Three months ago, the same survey found Trump and Biden effectively tied, with 36% for Biden and 35% for Trump, and 29% planning to vote for Kennedy. This jump in support for Harris today is all the more notable because of how significant the economy is to the voting choices of younger Americans. In this survey, 77% of respondents said they either definitely or probably will vote.

For nearly a decade, governments and civil rights groups have increasingly argued that online platforms have created enormous societal costs. Many social media companies have invested heavily in content moderation over the years. In the European Union, officials are looking to hold social media companies accountable for spreading misinformation under the new Digital Services Act. In the UK, the Online Safety Act could take effect as soon as this year, requiring, among other things, social media platforms to remove illegal content. “We’re going to have to look more broadly at social media after this disorder,” UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer said in a video distributed to media Friday.

How Online Hatred Toward Migrants Spurs Real-World Violence Social media posts assailing immigrants have fomented a climate of fear and hatred in Britain, Portugal and other countries. It followed months of vitriol on social media that came not only from disgruntled Portuguese, but also from prominent far-right figures inside and outside the country. “It’s not up-to-date for the social media age,” Leo Varadkar, the prime minister then, said. Asked whether he believes his social media posts contribute to violence, Mr. Robinson responded: “I believe the teachings in the Koran contribute to violence.

Ten days after the war started, Abdallah’s pregnant wife and three children fled to the south of the Gaza Strip seeking safety. Under-18s make up close to half of the population of the Gaza Strip, according to Palestinian census figures. It’s not known exactly how many children in Gaza are unaccompanied or separated, according to UNICEF. Agencies like UNICEF are working hard to identify and support children at risk of exploitation, particularly unaccompanied and separated children, she said. But there are many operational constraints restricting their efforts and more information is needed about unaccompanied and separated children living in displacement camps, she added.

The residents of the southeast Liverpool neighborhood of Edge Hill had spent Wednesday preparing for trouble. Parents were called to pick up children early from nursery school. Shop owners pulled their shutters down over glass storefronts. And in the semidetached brick houses on and around Overbury Street, where generations of the same families have lived alongside newer arrivals, locals pulled their curtains as evening approached. What they got, instead, was a night of near celebration by people opposed to the racism and anti-immigrant sentiments that drove the week of rioting in cities and towns across Britain.

How Anti-Immigrant Riots Flared in the U.K.
  + stars: | 2024-08-08 | by ( Nader Ibrahim | Peter Robins | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
After more than a week of sporadic far-right violence, a fever seemed to ease in Britain on Wednesday night. During the previous days, racist and anti-immigrant rioting had flared in more than a dozen towns and cities across England and in Northern Ireland. The spark for the rioting was anger over a knife attack that killed three young girls and falsehoods that spread online about the perpetrator. Those participating in the riots have remained a small and strongly unpopular fringe, disowned even by politicians who seek to channel broader public misgivings about immigration. His assault killed three girls: Alice Dasilva Aguiar, 9; Elsie Dot Stancombe, 7; and Bebe King, 6.
