⚠️ Biden Forced UK to Surrender Chagos Islands

Mere days after the UK general election, senior officials from the White House told the incoming Labour govt that refusing to sign away the islands would jeopardise the “special relationship” with Washington.

The US feared that Mauritius could have gone to the ICJ and apply for a binding ruling for the island - which could in turn give China access to the Diego Garcia air base.

Under the new deal, Mauritius will have control of the island but the US will rent the air base for the next 99 years.

❌ Germany Acquits Prime Madeleine McCann Suspect of Separate Rape Charges

Convicted paedophile and rapist Christian Brückner has been acquitted of horrific sex offences Tuesday due to “insufficient” evidence.

He was on trial at Brunswick Regional Court for various offences that took place in Portugal between December 2000 and June 2017 - including charges of rape and masturbating in front of children.

Brückner, 47, is who German investigators believe killed Madeleine, then 3, after abducting her from her holiday apartment in Portugal in 2007.

He has never been charged in relation to Madeleine’s disappearance.

Tel Aviv has lamented in a submission to the ICC that the court’s prosecutor Karim Khan failed to give Israel the opportunity to investigate itself before seeking arrest warrants against its leaders, a fundamental principle of the ICC’s founding charter.

Israel, of course, has such a great record of investigating itself objectively… 🤡

😮 France Boots Out Osama bin Laden’s Son

Omar Binladin - son of the former top al Qaeda terrorist - must find a new permanent home after French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau announced Tuesday he was banned from entering the country.

Binladin, who left France last year, was slapped with the restriction due to posts in 2023 which were “hosted on his social media pages” allegedly containing messages “glorifying terrorism.”

An X account with the handle omarbinladin1 reportedly posted on May 2, 2023, the 12th anniversary of Osama bin Laden’s death, a message paying tribute to the mastermind behind the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks, which destroyed the World Trade Center in NYC. (Le Publicateur Libre)

🩸 Road Safety Campaigners Want Tesla’s Cybertruck ‘Banned from Europe’

The EV’s angular design poses “unacceptably high risks” to other road users and its “sharp edges” will lead to “increased rates of injury and death.”

Campaigners, including the European Transport Safety Council and European Cyclists’ Federation, urged officials to “suspend the Cybertruck’s access to public streets” in the EU.

The Cybertruck, which weighs more than 4 tonnes and has been hailed as “apocalypse-proof” by Elon Musk, has been spotted in Europe despite strict laws around vehicle design and weight.
