😳 New UK Legislation Granting British Soldiers Immunity from Atrocities Committed During Northern Ireland Troubles Breaches ECHR – High Court

The High Court in Belfast has ruled that a key plank of controversial new UK legislation to deal with the legacy of Northern Ireland’s “Troubles” conflict breaches the European Convention on Human Rights.

In the first court test of the legislation, a 200-page ruling found “no evidence” that it would contribute to reconciliation in the region, as the UK argues.

⚠️Washington to Curb Sales of American Personal Data to ‘Countries of Concern’

Biden is set to issue an executive order that seeks to protect individuals’ biometric, genomic, geolocation, health and financial data, as well as certain personal identifiers and sensitive govt-linked information. (FT)

The US will propose rules that designate China, Russia, North Korea, Iran, Cuba and Venezuela as “countries of concern,” a senior DoJ official said.

Nice to know personal data is fine for everywhere else though, for the right price...

🇧🇷💪 BRAZIL'S LULA UNFAZED BY ISRAEL - Brazilian President takes a brave stand (video above) doubles down accusation of Israel committing genocide, despite being pushed to apologize and declared persona non grata in Israel.

Refusing to be bullied like others into retracting his opinion, insists he "will never give up dignity for a falsehood".

I want to say loud and clear that the Prime Minister of Israel is carrying out genocide against women and children. This is a fact - Lula.

👀German Warship Mistakenly Fires Two Missiles at US Drone over Red Sea

The 🇩🇪 Navy’s Hessen frigate’s radar incorrectly recognized an UAV circling overhead as hostile - it turned out to be a US Army MQ-9 Reaper UAV.

However, both German SM2 interceptor missiles malfunctioned and fell into the sea. 🤡

😐 Doctor Deems Biden ‘Fit for Duty’ after Physical

Biden’s annual physical examination identified “no new concerns” about the president’s health, his physician Kevin O’Connor wrote in a summary.

“He continues to be fit for duty and fully executes all of his responsibilities without any exemptions or accommodations.”

Perhaps he meant ‘doody’? 💩
