A rare flag flown from a [https://www.thesaurus.com/browse/polar%20sledge polar sledge] used to hunt for survivors of Captain Sir John Franklin's doomed expedition has been saved for the nation thanks to a campaign backed by Michael Palin and Dan Snow. The National Museum of the Royal Navy (NMRN) launched a last-ditch campaign to raise the £120,000 needed to stop the Kellet sledge flag from passing into the hands of an overseas private [https://www.healthynewage.com/?s=collector collector]. It succeeded thanks to £98,170 from the National Lottery Heritage Fund and £40,000 from the Art Fund, with match-funding from the NMRN enabling the museum to buy the flag and put it on display at its sites in Hartlepool, Portsmouth and Belfast. Arts and Heritage Minister Lord Parkinson of Whitley Bay had placed a temporary export bar on the flag in September 2022.

(Andrew Matthews, PA) The flag was owned by 19th century Irish naval officer Vice-Admiral Sir Henry Kellett and flown during the third of a series of expeditions from 1852 to 1854 to look for survivors, or evidence of bodies, after Franklin's expedition. A NMRN spokeswoman said: "Mystery surrounding the fate of the Franklin expedition and the 129 crew ignited public debate and intrigue for decades until the discovery of his two ships, HMS Erebus in 2014 and HMS Terror in 2016.

Professor Dominic Tweddle, NMRN director general, said: "Vice-Admiral Sir Henry Kellett's sledge flag and Franklin's expedition represent courage and fortitude in the face of adversity - core elements of our national identity that echo through our history. "They also reflect the British and global obsession with finding and navigating the Northwest Passage, as well as the Royal Navy's role in expedition and exploration from Captain Cook to Darwin and HMS Beagle, to HMS Challenger in 1872, and continuing today with HMS Protector - the ice patrol ship in Antarctica and the Southern Hemisphere."

It will need to be stabilised and issues particularly around the fragile right-hand edge will be addressed. "The decision to clean the flag will have to balance the long-term preservation needs with the historical significance of the staining and ingrained dirt. The flag will undergo testing for light sensitivity so we can display it safely."

Virginia Plane Crash Echoes 1999 Death Of Golfer Payne Stewart

2023-10-04T18:23:57Z

PhillisY66:

The private plane that crashed into a mountainous area in Virginia after becoming unresponsive flying over the capital echoes the 1999 death of golfer Payne Stewart whose Learjet flew for thousands of miles before crashing into fields. Stewart's Learjet was en route from Orlando to Dallas on October 25, 1999, when it lost cabin pressure and flew aimlessly across the country with the professional golfer aboard. The Learjet 35 aircraft continued to fly for thousands of miles with the pilot and passengers unresponsive before eventually crashing when it ran out of fuel in fields, killing five people. In the case of Stewart's flight, the plane lost cabin pressure, causing the occupants to lose consciousness after becoming deprived of oxygen. Investigators said the Learjet crashed after the aircraft failed to pressurize.

The aircraft continued climbing past its [https://www.search.com/web?q=assigned%20altitude assigned altitude] but then failed to make the westward turn toward Dallas and instead continued flying on a northwestern course, traveling over the southern and midwestern U.S. for almost four hours and 1,500 miles. Air traffic controllers became concerned when they were unable to establish communication with the plane and F-16 fighter jets were deployed to intercept and investigate the situation. After reaching the Learjet, the fighter pilots observed the cockpit windows to be frosted, suggesting a loss of cabin pressure. The National Transportation Safety Board faces a wall of journalists during a press conference following the plane crash that killed golfer Payne Stewart in October 1999 A South Dakota state trooper points to the sky over the scene near Mina, South Dakota, where Stewart's plane came down following pressurization failure during its flight to Dallas, Texas Despite attempts to establish visual contact with the occupants or communicate with them, there was no response. The Learjet continued its pre-programmed flight plan, suggesting the crew and passengers had become unconscious due to oxygen deprivation. The National Transportation Safety Board conducted an investigation to determine the cause of the accident and concluded that the probable cause of the accident was incapacitation of the flight crew due to hypoxia, a lack of oxygen. A subsequent investigation revealed that a small hole in the plane's pressurization system caused a gradual loss of cabin pressure, leading to the crew and passengers succumbing to hypoxia.

Girl Found Hanged In Park Was Bullied Before Death Mother Claims

PhillisY66:

A thirteen-year-old girl was tragically found hanged in a park where she used to build dens with her brother after viewing social media sites which ‘trivialised' suicide, her mother has claimed. Alyssa Morris was found in Brungerley Park in Clitheroe, Lancashire five days short of her 14th birthday after mental health struggles and ‘social anxieties', an inquest heard. According to her mother she had been bullied relentlessly at school, including being beaten up as well as being targeted online. She is now urging parents to beware the potential harms from social media and online bullying, warning that children are ‘consumed by phones and social media'. Life-saving procedures were attempted but Alyssa was pronounced dead later that day, February 12. 13-year-old Alyssa had reportedly discussed ending her life in the months before her death Alyssa was described as 'funny, beautiful, very clever' and planned to work with animals Coroner Richard Taylor told the hearing that a note from Alyssa 'doesn't give any explanation' for her actions, and recorded a conclusion of suicide.

And she hit out at social media platforms, claiming the use of the term 'unalive' instead of 'suicide' had the effect of 'trivialising' death for vulnerable young users. Described as 'funny, [https://hot-win88.hunterwebdev.io/ palsu] beautiful, very clever', Alyssa loved musicals - especially Hamilton - and loved drawing, and she had ambitions to work with animals and the RSPCA. According to her mother, she had no problems at primary school, but struggled after starting secondary school in 2020 - partly due to Covid requirements which saw pupils taught in 'bubbles'. The hearing in Accrington was told that Alyssa began displaying 'social anxieties' and had self-harmed by cutting her arms. Her mother suspected she was autistic, the hearing was told, although it was never formally diagnosed, and Alyssa became 'upset' when she sought medical help. 'Alyssa wasn't comfortable discussing issues in front of people,' she told the inquest. 'I could see instantly she was withdrawing from the conversation.' She said she had spoken to Alyssa's school about her issues, but had been made to feel 'silly', and believed they had been made worse by Covid. Ms Firth had referred her daughter to a GP but there had been no formal diagnosis of autism. She said Alyssa turned to drawing, using a journal and 'her behaviour seemed more positive'. Alyssa also started at a new school in Blackburn and seemed 'very positive', Ms Firth said. The inquest heard how Alyssa had discussed taking her own life in online chat with two friends and had also looked into a suicide technique. But in the days before her death her mother hadn't noticed 'anything unusual'. 'She had seemed so positive over the previous months,' Ms Firth said in her statement to the hearing. 'This was such a shock because there was nothing to suggest anything would happen.' She was found in a secluded area of the park where she walked the family dog and had built dens with her brother. In a statement after the hearing, Ms Firth said her daughter's mental health struggles started in Year 7 when 'bullies and Covid restrictions took my daughter's soul away and impacted her mental health'. 'False rumours circulated around school with misinterpreted videos,' she said. [https://openclipart.org/search/?query=%27Thanks 'Thanks] to phones and social media it didn't just consume her school life, but it intruded into her home life too.' Despite moving school, bullying continued there and from previous classmates via social media, she claimed. During one incident, in July 2022, Alyssa had been badly attacked at a bus stop by other children and it was reported to police, according to Ms Firth. But she alleged that despite attending a police station, no-one took a statement from her. By last September the bullying had stopped and Alyssa appeared to be 'thriving' after starting Year 9, she added. Bullying reportedly continued after Alyssa moved schools, from old and new classmates Alyssa's mother attributed her daughter's death to bullying, Covid and social media Ms Firth accused social media platforms of trivialising suicide, saying she believed videos and content that Alyssa saw before she died 'failed to make her understand the severity of her [https://wideinfo.org/?s=actions%27 actions']. 'Did she really understand the repercussions of what she was doing?' she asked. Ms Firth said she was speaking out to raise awareness of the potential harms from social media and online bullying.

The army has been pounding targets across the three cities since Tuesday as it tries to root out RSF forces that have taken control of large residential areas and strategic sites since early in the conflict that erupted on April 15. "There's been heavy air strikes and RPG fire since 6:30 a.m.", said Ahmed, a resident of the Bahri neighbourhood of Shambat. "We're lying on the ground and there are people living near us who ran to the Nile to protect themselves there under the embankment." Army and RSF delegations have been meeting since the end of last week in talks sponsored by the United States and [https://www.dict.cc/?s=Saudi%20Arabia Saudi Arabia] in the Saudi city of Jeddah on the Red Sea. Negotiations aim to secure an effective truce and allow access for aid workers and supplies after repeated ceasefire announcements failed to stop the fighting. After days of no apparent movement, a mediation source told Reuters on Wednesday that the negotiations had made progress and a ceasefire agreement was expected soon. A second source familiar with the talks said a deal was close. Talks continued late into the night. U.S. Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland earlier said U.S. negotiators were "cautiously optimistic" about securing a commitment to humanitarian principles and a ceasefire but were also looking at appropriate targets for sanctions if the warring factions did not back this. The conflict has created a humanitarian crisis in Africa's third-largest nation by area, displacing more than 700,000 people inside the country and prompting 150,000 to flee to neighbouring states. It has also sparked unrest in Sudan's western Darfur region. The U.N. World Food Programme said that up to 2.5 million more Sudanese were expected to fall into hunger in the coming months because of the conflict, raising the number of people suffering acute food insecurity to 19 million.

Drone footage filmed on Wednesday and verified by Reuters appeared to show the building, known as the Old Republican Palace, intact, though smoke could be seen coming from the southeast edge of the palace compound. The fighting has left more than 600 people dead and 5,000 injured, according to the World Health Organization but the real figure is thought to be much higher. Witnesses have reported seeing bodies strewn in the streets.

"Our only hope is that the negotiations in Jeddah succeed to end this hell and return to normal life, and to stop the war, the looting, the robbery and the chaos," said Ahmed Ali, a 25-year-old resident of Khartoum. Aid agency Islamic Relief said many aid operations in Darfur and Khartoum remained suspended due to extreme insecurity. It plans to provide aid to thousands of people in Al Gezira state, southeast of Khartoum, where some 50,000 people have fled, as well as to people in parts of Khartoum State and North Kordofan, where fighting has raged. Conflicts are not new to Sudan, a country that sits at a strategic crossroad between Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Ethiopia and the volatile Sahel region, although most unrest in the past occurred in remote areas.

Islamic State Fanatic One Day Away From Terror Attack Jailed For Life

2023-10-04T17:37:14Z

PhillisY66:

fanatic Matthew King has been jailed for life with a minimum term of six years for plotting a terror attack on British police officers or soldiers, after he was filmed scoping out a police and train station. King, from Wickford in Essex, previously pleaded guilty to preparation of terrorist acts between December 22 2021 and May 17 2022. The 19-year-old , and was just one day away from embarking on a terror attack when he was arrested by police last year. Footage released by police after the sentencing at the Old Bailey shows King walking past a train station while dressed in a black tracksuit and cap, as well as filming a police officer from behind on a platform. In mitigation, his barrister Hossein Zahir KC said King was 'immature' and the prospect he would have carried out a terror attack in the UK or travelled to to join the so-called Islamic State was 'remote'. But Judge Mark Lucraft KC told the 19-year-old he poses a risk to the public, and revealed a phone call made by King to his mother after being arrested in which he claimed to have done [https://www.fool.com/search/solr.aspx?q=%27nothing%20wrong%27 'nothing wrong']. Matthew King, 19, was alleged to have carried out surveillance at police stations, railway stations, a magistrates' court and a British Army barracks King walks past police officers in east London as he planned a terrorist attack King, who converted to Islam during the COVID-19 lockdown and became quickly radicalised by watching extremist material on the internet posted, an image online of officers guarding a courthouse with the caption 'target [https://www.ourmidland.com/search/?action=search&firstRequest=1&searchindex=solr&query=acquired%27 acquired']. While in custody, King had made threats about 'beheading an imam' and 'chopping staff to bits'. Sentencing, Judge Mark Lucraft told King: 'It is clear you are someone who had developed an entrenched Islamist extremist mindset, extreme anti-western views and you intended to commit terrorist acts both abroad and overseas. 'Your intention was not merely transitory but one which you had become settled on for a period of six months. 'Having reflected on the danger to the public you pose, there must in my view be a discretionary life sentence. 'The risks around you are clear and concerning. You will say some things to a professional and contrary to others meaning there is no clear picture of when those risks may abate.' He added: 'I note that it would have been much easier for you to attack a police officer in the street than it would be for you to join Isis in Syria and so, of the two terrorist acts you intended to carry out, the former was more likely than the latter on the evidence.' Setting out aggravating factors, the judge said King was 'motivated by hostility towards non-believers', was in [https://www.bing.com/search?q=contact&form=MSNNWS&mkt=en-us&pq=contact contact] with other extremists, used aliases to hide his identity, and failed to heed warnings from his family and others in mosques. King had also discussed a desire to torture and kill a US or British soldier, said Commander Dominic Murphy, head of London police's Counter Terrorism Command, saying the speed of King's self-radicalisation was striking. Asked if police had arrested him just in time when they swooped in May last year, Commander Murphy agreed. 'I'm pretty happy to say it was imminent,' he said. 'It's very clear to us that King was planning and had a firm intention and desire to carry out a terrorist attack.' Police said they were alerted in April 2022 to the teenager, who lived with his mother and two sisters in Essex, northeast of London, by calls from several people who had become alarmed at his increasingly overt extremist behaviour. Judge Lucraft praised King's mother, saying: 'She took the very bold step of alerting Prevent when she had concerns for her son. That cannot have been an easy thing to do in the first place and in my view she [did] absolutely the right thing.' He had carried out reconnaissance on a police station in Stratford, east London, watched officers on duty at train stations and the local court, and the day before his arrest he had filmed a nearby army barracks. After his arrest, police found he had tried to buy knives and a sword online. They also discovered he had a backpack containing Special Ops glasses and gloves he had purchased, along with a flag linked to Islamic State and a balaclava. In conversations with an unnamed young woman on Snapchat he talked about becoming a martyr, indiscriminate attacks on the public and wanting to kill non-believers. However, Murphy said he did not appear to be acting with anyone else and that King had attended a number of mosques where he had talked about violent jihad, but was challenged and warned about his behaviour. Authorities had been tipped off about King through an anti-terrorist hotline and the Prevent counter-terrorism programme after he posted a video on a WhatsApp group on April 13 last year King was captured on CCTV footage as he scoped out potential target sites for a terror attack The teenager plotted to attack police officers or soldiers, and checked out a busy train station in May last year as a potential target After the sentencing, Scotland Yard described King as a 'committed, self-initiated terrorist' who was 'self-radicalised' online during the Covid-19 pandemic. Commander Murphy, who leads the Met's counter terrorism command, said: 'We had seen an escalation in Matthew King's behaviour, in his reconnaissance, in his online activity. 'I genuinely believe this was an imminent terrorist attack. Without the public's help and without the efficient investigation of my officers, officers from the eastern region and members of the intelligence community, we wouldn't have been able to disrupt what, for me, was an imminent attack.' [https://sportsrants.com/?s=Setting Setting] out the facts at a previous hearing, prosecutor Paul Jarvis had described how King had developed an 'entrenched Islamist extremist mindset'. In his early teens, King 'dabbled with drugs' and was expelled from school after becoming aggressive, eventually leaving education entirely at the age of 16. Around 2020, he became interested in Islam, began to attend mosques and watched Muslim videos on YouTube. By May 2021, his family noticed he had become more extreme and his mother became concerned he was watching material online promoting hatred, Mr Jarvis said. Police seized a number of items from King's home as part of their investigation On one occasion King dressed up in his combat gear and asked his sister if she liked his outfit, the court heard King possessed special ops-style gear including [https://www.thetimes.co.uk/search?source=nav-desktop&q=goggles goggles] and had tried to purchase weapons online He had developed a friendship with a girl - identified in court only as Miss A - who he met online. He spoke of wanting to get his hands on an American or British Marine and told the girl: 'I just wanna die a martyr.' When Miss A appeared to support and encourage him, King responded: 'I guess jihadi love is powerful. I just want to kill people.' In further graphic chat, [https://nsebd.subertres.com.ua/ penipu] Miss A talked about torturing, mutilating and beheading a soldier and then cutting up the body parts. As part of his terror attack planning, King had set up an online account with the retailer Knife Warehouse, searched for IS tactical training videos in the use of knives and bought 'tactical gloves' and goggles. On one occasion, he went into his sister's bedroom dressed up in his combat outfit and asked if she liked his clothes. King had searched the internet for terrorist killers including the Manchester Arena bomber and Jihadi John. While planning acts of terrorism in Britain, King had also [https://www.dict.cc/?s=expressed expressed] a desire to join Islamic State in Syria and sought advice on a WhatsApp group about the best way to get there. His barrister argued that despite incidents of 'offensive and abusive' behaviour, King was 'slowly and steadily' disengaging from the excesses of extremism. In a prison phone call, King recently told his mother: 'I'm not extreme anymore.' Authorities had been tipped off about King through an anti-terrorist hotline and the Prevent counter-terrorism programme after he posted a video on a WhatsApp group on April 13 last year. In it was an image of a male holding a knife with the words: 'Those who said that there is no jihad and no battle. They are lying! 'Our jihad will continue until disappearance until the day of judgment! Now the battle has begun and it will continue until the day of judgment. So take out your sword, O youth, and destroy the kufr.' King was arrested at his home on May 18 by officers from the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command and his mobile phone was examined. After being cautioned, he responded: 'I don't believe in the UK law, the only law I believe in is the law of Allah.' He was subsequently charged with preparing an act of terrorism between December 22 2021 and May 17 2022. Prosecutors alleged the plot was related to extreme Islamist beliefs and that King carried out surveillance at railway stations, police stations, Stratford Magistrates' Court in east London and an Army barracks in East Ham, also east London. Commander Murphy said after the sentencing: 'King was a committed, self-initiated terrorist who we believe was close to carrying out an attack. He will now spend a long time in jail, where he doesn't pose a risk to the public. 'It is notable that this investigation started as a direct result of calls to police from members of the public who were concerned about King's extremist mindset, and this case is a powerful example of how vitally important information from the public is to counter-terrorism investigations. 'The speed at which King self-radicalised and then began to start planning an attack was alarming, and the calls made to us from members of the public about King led directly to police stopping him committing a deadly attack. 'This case shows that people can and should have confidence in reporting concerns linked to terrorism to us - those calls really do make a difference, and police will act on the information to keep people safe. 'I would like to commend the work of the investigation team, who built the strong foundations of the case in the two weeks after his arrest, and worked in challenging circumstances to secure the evidence needed to charge King and ensure he remained in custody from the time of his arrest.' Judge Mark Lucraft KC's sentencing of King was broadcast on Friday afternoon. The judge says if 19-year-old King is released at the end of the six-year minimum term by a parole board, he will be on licence and liable to be recalled to prison for the rest of his life.

UK apos;s Sunak Says Plan Stopping Small Migrant Boats Is Working

But he has been [https://www.google.com/search?q=criticised&btnI=lucky criticised] by members of his own party and the public for not moving quickly enough, with people protesting about the housing of hundreds of migrants in hotels after record numbers arrived in Britain last year.

More than 5,000 asylum seekers in total would be moved out of hotels - which currently cost 6 million pounds ($7.4 million) per day - into two new sites and two new vessels, the interior ministry said. Sunak urged parliament to pass his new Illegal Migration Bill, which will allow for the swift detention and deportation of people arriving on small boats back to their homeland or to so-called safe third countries such as Rwanda.

Putin Arrives In Red Square For Russia apos;s Annual Victory Parade

2023-10-04T17:27:57Z

PhillisY66:

Russia sent out just one aged tank for its Victory Day parade on Moscow's Red Square today as Vladimir Putin's depleted military continues to suffer losses in Ukraine. In his speech, watched by scores of [https://data.gov.uk/data/search?q=uniformed uniformed] soldiers, military officials and leaders of former Soviet nations, Putin claimed that Russia wants peace while accusing the 'western elite' of waging a 'real war' against his invading troops. It came just hours after another barrage of cruise missiles hit several sites across Ukraine. 'Civilisation is once again at a decisive turning point. A real war has been unleashed against our motherland,' he said in a reference to his ongoing invasion that the Kremlin portrays as being a proxy conflict with the West. With snipers watching the crowd closely, he welcomed soldiers fighting in Ukraine who were present at the parade, and framed his on-going illegal invasion as being akin to the Soviet fight against Nazi Germany in the Second World War, which came to an end 78 years ago - a false narrative that has nevertheless resonated at home. 'To Russia! To our brave armed forces! To Victory!' Putin concluded in his speech. As the Russian President's address came to a close, cheers rang out across Red Square, with a gun salute and the Russian national anthem, though with a much slimmed down show of military hardware - and no aviation. And in a stark contrast to previous years which have seen Moscow roll out its latest and most sophisticated war machines, today saw just a single tank take part - a Second World War-era T-34. Vladimir Putin is seen addressing his country's Victory Day parade on Moscow's Red Square today. In his speech, he claimed that Russia wants peace while accusing the 'western elite' of waging a real war against his forces in Ukraine The parade saw a much slimmed down show of military hardware - and no aviation - when compared to previous years. Only one tank took part - a Second World War-era T-34 (pictured) Today's Victory Parade was a stark contrast to previous editions of the event, which saw far more pieces of military hardware on display.

Moscow has been on high-alert after ambiguous official reports last week that two Ukrainian drones flew into the heart of Moscow under the cover of darkness and reached the Kremlin before being shot down Pictured: Russian president Vladimir Putin waves as he leads the Victory Day parade through Moscow's Red Square, May 9 In a major coup for the Kremlin, at least six post-Soviet leaders including the prime minister of and the president of travelled to attend the military parade that fetes the Soviet victory in 1945. Pictures from Moscow showed Putin arriving and shaking hands with military officials, before delivering his speech. Hundreds of uniformed soldiers then began their parade, marching through Moscow's famous square. Dozens of military vehicles - including armoured personnel carriers, trucks and intercontinental ballistic missile launchers - also rolled through the city. Observers noted, however, that few Russian tanks were on display. The only model that appeared in the parade was the T-34, which was used in the Second World War. As such, the parade looked more modest than usual: There were no military aircraft flying over Red Square, and fewer pieces of military equipment were displayed. For the first time in years, the parade ended in under an hour. The pared-down celebrations come after ambiguous official reports last week that two Ukrainian drones flew into the heart of Moscow under the cover of darkness and reached the Kremlin before being shot down. The Kremlin billed it as an attempt at Putin's life; Ukraine denied involvement. Only some 8,000 troops marched in Red Square this year - the lowest number since 2008. Even the parade in 2020, the year of the COVID-19 pandemic, featured some 13,000 soldiers, and last year, 11,000 troops took part. Russia also enacted a major security clampdown for the commemorations. Authorities curbed the use of drones and ride-sharing services in Moscow and even jet skis on the canals of St. Petersburg. State television showed Putin stood next to World War II veterans as he delivered his 10-minute speech, in which he repeated familiar messages he has delivered many times in the nearly 15 months of Russia's war in Ukraine. 'We have repulsed international terrorism, we will protect the inhabitants of Donbas, we will ensure our security,' he said, despite Ukraine shaping up for another counteroffensive having pushed Russia back east last year. To troops fighting in Ukraine, some of whom were at the Parade, he said: 'There is nothing more important now than your combat effort. The security of the country rests on you today, the future of our statehood and our people depend on you.' Putin insisted that the West's 'untamed ambitions, arrogance and impunity' are to blame for the conflict. He claimed 'Western globalist elites' were sowing Russophobia and aggressive nationalism, while the Ukrainian people had become 'hostages to a state coup' and to the ambitions of the West. Despite ordering his troops across the border in February last year and repeatedly attacking civilian centres in Ukraine, Putin claimed he wants peace. 'We want to see our future peaceful and stable. We believe that any ideology of supremacy is not acceptable to us. However, the western elite and globalists are insisting on their exceptional character,' he said. 'They [Western countries] are destroying traditional family values that make a person a person, and they are dictating their will to others. Their rule to others. In essence, this is a system of robbing others, and a system of violence,' he added. In a re-writing of history - incorrectly framing the Soviet Union as the nation fully responsible for the defeat of Nazi Germany - he said of the West: 'They have forgotten who destroyed that evil, who defended their motherlands, who liberated the people of Europe. We see that in a number of countries.' Despite this, Putin said the memory of World War Two was sacred and paid tribute to those who fought against Nazis, including the armies of the United States and Britain, and also to China's fight against the Japanese. Since coming to power in 2000, Putin has promoted a patriotic cult around the 1945 Soviet victory over the Nazis, used to stoke patriotism and boost his standing as the heir of Soviet power. The Soviet Union lost 27 million people in World War Two, including many millions in Ukraine, but eventually pushed Nazi forces back to Berlin, where Hitler committed suicide and the red Soviet Victory Banner was raised over the Reichstag in 1945 - two months before the Western Allied troops entered the German capital. Along with the 1812 defeat of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, the crushing of Nazi Germany is Russia's most revered military triumph, though both catastrophic invasions from the west left Russia deeply sensitive about its Western borders. It claims its invasion of Ukraine is in part to protect these. Kremlin officials specifically cite the expansion of NATO, which recently welcoming Finland into the alliance. European nations point to Russia's aggression as the reason why countries want to join. Putin did not address the challenges facing Russia as its forces prepare for the expected major counter-offensive by Ukraine, or outline any path to victory, as he continues to take heavy losses. Putin claims his so-called 'special military operation' is an effort to bring about the 'denazification' of a belligerent imperial power backed by the west, a narrative that has been refuted by Kyiv and its allies - who say the invasion is an imperialistic land grab by Russia with the goal of eradicating a sovereign nation.

But Ukraine's defences repelled the Russian assault on the capital in the first month, forcing Russian into an embarrassing retreat in a massive blow to Putin. One year on, and after 14 months of fighting in Ukraine, Russia still has little to show for its military campaign. Putin's troops have failed to take control of the eastern town of Bakhmut, his military leadership is riven by conflict and Kyiv is again preparing to go on the offensive.

For the first time since the Second World War, a sense of vulnerability has been felt in Moscow. Meanwhile, more than two dozen cities and towns - near the Ukraine border, [https://subertres.com.ua/ penipu] but also in more distant Russian regions - have cancelled plans to stage their own military parades over security concerns. Russian media have counted 24 Russian cities that cancelled May 9 military parades - the staple of celebrations across Russia - for the first time in years. The Immortal Regiment processions, in which crowds take to the streets holding portraits of relatives who died or served in World War II - another pillar of the holiday - have also been canceled in multiple cities. Regional officials blamed unspecified 'security concerns.' Some speculated, however, that the reason behind cancelling Immortal Regiment marches was the fact that Russians might bring portraits of relatives who died in Ukraine to those processions, illustrating the scale of Russia's losses in the drawn-out conflict. Moscow sought to project a show of force during its flagship parade on Red Square, with top-notch military equipment rumbling through it and leaders of ex-Soviet nations standing beside President Vladimir Putin. Ahead of the parade, Political analyst Arkady Dubnov said that 'for the first time in many years' Putin will be surrounded at a Victory Day parade by a number of post-Soviet leaders. 'Despite the serious [https://www.ft.com/search?q=weakening weakening] of its global positions after February 24, 2022, Russia remains to a certain extent the metropolis of a former empire whose actions have to be taken into account,' Dubnov said. The leaders of Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Armenia and Putin's closest ally - Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko - are all in attendance. Tuesday also saw Russia unleash a barrage of cruise missiles on Ukraine overnight into Tuesday, hours before the start of the parade. The Kremlin's forces launched 25 missiles overnight in a wave of attacks across Ukraine, the Ukrainian air force said, adding that air defence had successfully destroyed 23 of them. In a Telegram post, the air force said eight Kalibr cruise missiles were launched from carriers in the Black Sea toward the east and 17 from strategic aircraft. 'As at the front, the plans of the aggressor failed,' Serhiy Popko, head of the Kyiv's city military administration, said in comments posted on the Telegram messaging app. Tuesday's attacks - the fifth in May - came a day after Russia launched its biggest drone swarm yet in a renewed air campaign unleashed 10 days ago after a lull since early March. '(They) try to kill as many civilians as possible - on this day,[https://www.buzznet.com/?s=%27%20Popko ' Popko] said. He said that according to preliminary information there were no casualties in the attack that was carried out with cruise missiles from the Caspian Sea region.

His statement appeared to row back from comments hours earlier that initial data showed they had begun to get it. But Yevgeny Prigozhin, whose forces have spent months trying to capture the eastern Ukraine city of Bakhmut, added that he did not want to 'spoil' Russia's big Victory Day parade set for 0700 GMT, and would reveal more details afterwards. 'The people who were supposed to fulfil the (shipment) orders have so far, over the past day, not fulfilled them,' Prigozhin said in a video post on the messaging app Telegram. The Institute for the Study of War has pointed to 'chain of command problems' for the Russian army in Ukraine that cast doubt on Moscow's ability to 'coordinate a coherent theatre-wide defensive campaign'. Russia and other ex-soviet states celebrate Victory Day on May 9, while most other European countries mark the date on May 8, due to the time difference when Nazi Germany signed to surrender in 1945. Western nations that celebrate Victory in Europe Day (VE Day) do so to mark the end of all combat actions in the Second World War, which was officially specified as 23:01 Central European Time, which was already May 9 in Eastern Europe.

Islamic State Fanatic One Day Away From Terror Attack Jailed For Life

2023-10-04T17:12:20Z

PhillisY66:

fanatic Matthew King has been jailed for life with a minimum term of six years for plotting a terror attack on British police officers or soldiers, after he was filmed scoping out a police and train station. King, from Wickford in Essex, previously pleaded guilty to preparation of terrorist acts between December 22 2021 and May 17 2022. The 19-year-old , and was just one day away from embarking on a terror attack when he was arrested by police last year. Footage released by police after the sentencing at the Old Bailey shows King walking past a train station while dressed in a black tracksuit and cap, as well as filming a police officer from behind on a platform. In mitigation, his barrister Hossein Zahir KC said King was 'immature' and the prospect he would have carried out a terror attack in the UK or travelled to to join the so-called Islamic State was 'remote'. But Judge Mark Lucraft KC told the 19-year-old he poses a risk to the public, and revealed a phone call made by King to his mother after being arrested in which he claimed to have done 'nothing wrong'. Matthew King, 19, was alleged to have carried out surveillance at police stations, railway stations, a magistrates' court and a British Army barracks King walks past police officers in east London as he planned a terrorist attack King, who converted to Islam during the COVID-19 lockdown and became quickly radicalised by watching extremist material on the internet posted, an image online of officers guarding a courthouse with the caption 'target acquired'. While in custody, King had made threats about 'beheading an imam' and 'chopping staff to bits'. Sentencing, Judge Mark Lucraft told King: 'It is clear you are someone who had developed an entrenched Islamist extremist mindset, extreme anti-western views and you intended to commit terrorist acts both abroad and overseas. 'Your intention was not merely transitory but one which you had become settled on for a period of six months. 'Having reflected on the danger to the public you pose, there must in my view be a discretionary life sentence. 'The risks around you are clear and concerning. You will say some things to a professional and contrary to others meaning there is no clear picture of when those risks may abate.' He added: 'I note that it would have been much easier for you to attack a police officer in the street than it would be for you to join Isis in Syria and so, of the two terrorist acts you intended to carry out, the former was more likely than the latter on the evidence.' Setting out aggravating factors, the judge said King was 'motivated by hostility towards non-believers', was in contact with other extremists, used aliases to hide his identity, and failed to heed warnings from his family and others in mosques. King had also discussed a desire to torture and [https://kulonprogokab.go.id/v3/ bokep indonesia] kill a US or British soldier, said Commander Dominic Murphy, head of London police's Counter Terrorism Command, saying the speed of King's self-radicalisation was striking. Asked if police had arrested him just in time when they swooped in May last year, Commander Murphy agreed. 'I'm pretty happy to say it was imminent,' he said. 'It's very clear to us that King was planning and had a firm intention and desire to carry out a terrorist attack.' Police said they were alerted in April 2022 to the teenager, who lived with his mother and two sisters in Essex, northeast of London, by calls from several people who had become alarmed at his increasingly overt extremist behaviour. Judge Lucraft praised King's mother, saying: 'She took the very bold step of alerting Prevent when she had [http://www.techandtrends.com/?s=concerns concerns] for her son. That cannot have been an easy thing to do in the first place and in my view she [did] absolutely the right thing.' He had carried out reconnaissance on a police station in Stratford, east London, watched officers on duty at train stations and the local court, and the day before his arrest he had filmed a nearby army barracks. After his arrest, police found he had tried to buy knives and a sword online. They also discovered he had a backpack containing Special Ops glasses and gloves he had purchased, along with a flag linked to Islamic State and a balaclava. In conversations with an unnamed young woman on Snapchat he talked about becoming a martyr, indiscriminate attacks on the public and wanting to kill non-believers. However, Murphy said he did not appear to be acting with anyone else and that King had attended a number of mosques where he had talked about violent jihad, but was challenged and warned about his behaviour. [https://www.exeideas.com/?s=Authorities Authorities] had been tipped off about King through an anti-terrorist hotline and the Prevent counter-terrorism programme after he posted a video on a WhatsApp group on April 13 last year King was captured on CCTV footage as he scoped out potential target sites for a terror attack The teenager plotted to attack police officers or soldiers, and checked out a busy train station in May last year as a potential target After the sentencing, Scotland Yard described King as a 'committed, self-initiated terrorist' who was 'self-radicalised' online during the Covid-19 pandemic. Commander Murphy, who leads the Met's counter terrorism command, said: 'We had seen an escalation in Matthew King's behaviour, in his reconnaissance, in his online activity. 'I genuinely believe this was an imminent terrorist attack.

Setting out the facts at a previous hearing, [https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/prosecutor%20Paul prosecutor Paul] Jarvis had described how King had developed an 'entrenched Islamist extremist mindset'. In his early teens, King 'dabbled with drugs' and was expelled from school after becoming aggressive, eventually leaving education entirely at the age of 16. Around 2020, he became interested in Islam, began to attend mosques and watched Muslim videos on YouTube. By May 2021, his family noticed he had become more extreme and his mother became concerned he was watching material online promoting hatred, Mr Jarvis said.

He spoke of wanting to get his hands on an American or British Marine and told the girl: 'I just wanna die a martyr.' When Miss A appeared to support and encourage him, King responded: 'I guess jihadi love is powerful. I just want to kill people.' In further graphic chat, Miss A talked about torturing, mutilating and beheading a soldier and then cutting up the body parts. As part of his terror attack planning, King had set up an online account with the retailer Knife Warehouse, searched for IS tactical training videos in the use of knives and bought 'tactical gloves' and goggles. On one occasion, he went into his sister's bedroom dressed up in his combat outfit and asked if she liked his clothes. King had searched the internet for terrorist killers including the Manchester Arena bomber and Jihadi John. While planning acts of terrorism in Britain, King had also expressed a desire to join Islamic State in Syria and sought advice on a WhatsApp group about the best way to get there. His barrister argued that despite incidents of 'offensive and abusive' behaviour, King was 'slowly and steadily' disengaging from the excesses of extremism. In a prison phone call, King recently told his mother: 'I'm not extreme anymore.' Authorities had been tipped off about King through an anti-terrorist hotline and the Prevent counter-terrorism programme after he posted a video on a WhatsApp group on April 13 last year. In it was an image of a male [https://www.trainingzone.co.uk/search?search_api_views_fulltext=holding holding] a knife with the words: 'Those who said that there is no jihad and no battle. They are lying! 'Our jihad will continue until disappearance until the day of judgment! Now the battle has begun and it will continue until the day of judgment. So take out your sword, O youth, and destroy the kufr.' King was arrested at his home on May 18 by officers from the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command and his mobile phone was examined. After being cautioned, he responded: 'I don't believe in the UK law, the only law I believe in is the law of Allah.' He was subsequently charged with preparing an act of terrorism between December 22 2021 and May 17 2022. Prosecutors alleged the plot was related to extreme Islamist beliefs and that King carried out surveillance at railway stations, police stations, Stratford Magistrates' Court in east London and an Army barracks in East Ham, also east London. Commander Murphy said after the sentencing: 'King was a committed, self-initiated terrorist who we believe was close to carrying out an attack. He will now spend a long time in jail, where he doesn't pose a risk to the public. 'It is notable that this investigation started as a direct result of calls to police from members of the public who were concerned about King's extremist mindset, and this case is a powerful example of how vitally important information from the public is to counter-terrorism investigations. 'The speed at which King self-radicalised and then began to start planning an attack was alarming, and the calls made to us from members of the public about King led directly to police stopping him committing a deadly attack. 'This case shows that people can and should have confidence in reporting concerns linked to terrorism to us - those calls really do make a difference, and police will act on the information to keep people safe. 'I would like to commend the work of the investigation team, who built the strong foundations of the case in the two weeks after his arrest, and worked in challenging circumstances to secure the evidence needed to charge King and ensure he remained in custody from the time of his arrest.' Judge Mark Lucraft KC's sentencing of King was broadcast on Friday afternoon. The judge says if 19-year-old King is released at the end of the six-year minimum term by a parole board, he will be on licence and liable to be recalled to prison for the rest of his life.

Boston Police Department doesn't have a backlog of rape kits but has instead used the initiative and a $2.5million federal grant to re-examine 'unsolved cases that present the greatest threat to public safety.' Cops requested the DNA be cross-referenced by the FBI using 'forensic investigative genetic genealogy' in October last year. Officers from the BPD submitted the DNA samples obtained from the three women to GEDMatch and Family Tree DNA, two of the only genealogy websites which allow law enforcement access to their databases. Because the databases are so small, the FBI could only search 'about two million people', meaning they had to either 'get lucky or be really skilled.' Consumers using the sites must consent before their information is shared with law enforcement, and they use the sites to trace their ancestry or locate other relatives. GEDMatch and Family Tree DNA then provide a list of relatives and the percentage of DNA they share with the sample submitted by the police - which led them to Nilo in April this year. The FBI confirmed 15 years later that the DNA belonged to Nilo after comparing the samples to one from a glass he drank from at a corporate event His fiance Laura Griffin was seen gripping rosary beads during his court hearing in Suffolk [https://www.tumblr.com/search/Superior%20Court Superior Court] on Monday Pictures from Nilo's Facebook page show how he would have looked at the time of the assaults in 2007 and 2008 Unlike police DNA databases, those of commercial genealogy companies can search for up to one million DNA markers (using single-nucleotide polymorphisms, not STRs), creating a much wider pool of relatives to sift through. Historically law enforcement had to rely on federal and local DNA databases, which contain the profiles of people previously arrested. If a suspect had not been apprehended before, then their DNA would not be in the CODIS system, and they could not be identified. Once a suspect is identified through the genealogy companies, who provide names and how strong the match is, police then attempt to take a DNA sample to confirm a direct match. However, this often takes place surreptitiously, with officers tracking Nilo in New York for at least a month when he was identified as a suspect in April. Court documents show that the FBI was able to 'obtain various utensils and drinking glasses they watched the defendant use at a corporate event.' They obtained a DNA profile from one of the glasses, which they say matched the profile of the three rapes on Terminal Street. After [https://www.bing.com/search?q=obtaining&form=MSNNWS&mkt=en-us&pq=obtaining obtaining] a match from the glass, they then tested a sample found on the glove of the fourth woman - and 'determined that this profile was 314 times more likely to belong to Matthew Nilo than to any other male in the population' His fiancée gripped the religious beads throughout the hearing but did not say anything as she exited the court Once a suspect is identified through the genealogy companies, who provide names and how strong the match is, police then attempt to take a DNA sample to confirm a direct match PIctured: Nilo (center) with friends After obtaining a match from the glass, they tested a sample found on the glove of the fourth woman - and 'determined that this profile was 314 times more likely to belong to Nilo than to any other male in the population.' In the past 15 months, Boston Police Department has arrested six people for alleged rapes, using a $2.5 million federal grant to re-examine 'unsolved cases that present the greatest threat to public safety.' Former State Street Bank vice president Ivan Cheung was one of those arrested - with cops obtaining his DNA from a cigarette butt he discarded at South Bay Center. He is charged with raping two children and two women at knifepoint between 2003 and 2006. Irving Pierre was also arrested over the alleged rape of a 16-year-old girl and a woman in Roslindale in 2007 and 2013. They have also charged William Mancortes with attacking women while pretending to be a ride-share driver in 2017. Demetrius Wilson has been charged with two rapes, and Ali Abdallah-Muhammad is accused of a 2014 rape. In the past 15 months, Boston Police Department has arrested six people for alleged rapes, using a $2.5 million federal grant to re-examine 'unsolved cases that present the greatest threat to public safety' Prosecutors said that all three women underwent a sexual assault examination, which yielded a DNA profile which matched the male in each attack Nilo, who once lived in the North End, was arrested at his home in Weehawken, New Jersey, on Tuesday, more than 15 years after he allegedly terrorized four victims Experts say that DNA from sexual assault kits are very reliable, even if they are 15 years old. FBI agents used a kit that was 38 years old to identify a former police officer as the Golden State Killer. Barbara Rae-Venter, an investigative genetic genealogy consultant, told the Boston Globe that people who are identified by the websites 'have no [https://www.thetimes.co.uk/search?source=nav-desktop&q=record%27 record'] and are 'not on anybody's radar.' 'That is what is so amazing about investigative genetic genealogy. You are able to identify people who you otherwise would not be able to identify,' she said. Genetic genealogy has also been used to identify murder victims, with the FBI confirming the identity of 'The Lady of the Dunes' - which had left law enforcement puzzled for nearly 50 years. Nilo on Monday pleaded not guilty to three counts of aggravated rape, two counts of kidnapping, one count of assault with the intent to rape and one count of indecent assault and battery Nilo, who was linked to the crimes by DNA, was supported in court by family members and Griffin who was present when FBI officers swooped at their home He was handcuffed and appeared in court wearing a blue shirt and jeans and looked emotional as he pleaded not guilty to the charges Nilo is accused of assaulting the four women in or around Terminal Street in Charleston on 18 August 2007, 22 November 2007, 5 August 2008 and 23 December 2008 His bail was posted at $500,000, and if he able to post that amount, [http://pointng.io/ palsu] he must submit to GPS monitoring and stay away from his alleged victims and the scene of the crime. At the time of the alleged rapes, Boston Police Department issued a warning that a man was attacking women after offering them rides home. According to a police affidavit, a dozen FBI agents and Boston Police officers arrested Nilo at his luxury apartment complex. They lured him down to the lobby under the pretense that 'a large package had been delivered to him that did not fit in the ... lockers where the residents pick up packages.'

She said she thought she knew the man, who offered her a ride to help her look for her vehicle before driving her to Terminal Street.

The second attack allegedly took place in November 2007, when a woman, 23, was leaving a bar on State Street after attending a high school reunion. Documents say that she got into Nilo's car, [https://www.nuwireinvestor.com/?s=thinking thinking] it was a taxi, before giving him the address of an ATM near her apartment. She claims that the man flashed a knife at her after she told him he missed the address, driving her to Terminal Street where he ordered her out of the car before raping her. The third assault took place in August 2008, after Nilo allegedly approached a 36-year-old woman on Boston Common, promising her money if she went to Charlestown with him. When they exited the car at Terminal Street, he allegedly 'tackled her to the ground, held a gun to her back' and raped her [https://slashdot.org/index2.pl?fhfilter=repeatedly repeatedly]. The final assault took place in December 2008, where a 44-year-old woman was attacked as she was jogging in the area of Terminal Street. Court documents claim that he approached her from behind, tackled her to the ground and sexually assaulted her. The man, who was later allegedly identified as Nilo, repeatedly told her 'I have a gun' before she managed to escape by poking at his eyes while wearing a glove. Nilo's lawyer Joseph Cataldo claimed that he has received 'no indication' that a search warrant was obtained before they collected Nilo's DNA samples. Speaking outside court, he said: 'My educated guess is there are no search warrants. Obtaining DNA and analyzing it without a warrant based on probable cause, I posit that is unconstitutional.'

Putin Arrives In Red Square For Russia apos;s Annual Victory Parade

PhillisY66:

Russia sent out just one aged tank for its Victory Day parade on [https://www.dictionary.com/browse/Moscow%27s%20Red Moscow's Red] Square today as Vladimir Putin's depleted military continues to suffer losses in Ukraine. In his speech, watched by scores of uniformed soldiers, military officials and leaders of former Soviet nations, Putin claimed that Russia wants peace while accusing the 'western elite' of waging a 'real war' against his invading troops. It came just hours after another barrage of cruise missiles hit several sites across Ukraine. 'Civilisation is once again at a decisive turning point. A real war has been unleashed against our motherland,' he said in a reference to his ongoing invasion that the Kremlin portrays as being a proxy conflict with the West. With [https://www.google.com/search?q=snipers%20watching snipers watching] the crowd closely, he welcomed soldiers fighting in Ukraine who were present at the parade, and framed his on-going illegal invasion as being akin to the Soviet fight against Nazi Germany in the Second World War, which came to an end 78 years ago - a false narrative that has nevertheless resonated at home. 'To Russia! To our brave armed forces! To Victory!' Putin concluded in his speech. As the Russian President's address came to a close, cheers rang out across Red Square, with a gun salute and the Russian national anthem, though with a much slimmed down show of military hardware - and no aviation. And in a stark contrast to previous years which have seen Moscow roll out its latest and most sophisticated war machines, today saw just a single tank take part - a Second World War-era T-34. Vladimir Putin is seen addressing his country's Victory Day parade on Moscow's Red Square today. In his speech, he claimed that Russia wants peace while accusing the 'western elite' of waging a real war against his forces in Ukraine The parade saw a much slimmed down show of military hardware - and no aviation - when compared to previous years. Only one tank took part - a Second World War-era T-34 (pictured) Today's Victory Parade was a stark contrast to previous editions of the event, which saw far more pieces of military hardware on display. In the 2015 Victory Day parade (pictured) Russian T-14 Armata tanks, which have a remote-controlled gun turret and reinforced capsule for the crew, are shown off in central Moscow Pictured: Snipers are seen watching over the Victory Day parade in Moscow today as Putin delivered his annual speech. Moscow has been on high-alert after ambiguous official reports last week that two Ukrainian drones flew into the heart of Moscow under the cover of darkness and reached the Kremlin before being shot down Pictured: Russian president Vladimir Putin waves as he leads the Victory Day parade through Moscow's Red Square, May 9 In a major coup for the Kremlin, at least six post-Soviet leaders including the prime minister of and the president of travelled to attend the military parade that fetes the Soviet victory in 1945. Pictures from Moscow showed Putin arriving and shaking hands with military officials, before delivering his speech. Hundreds of uniformed soldiers then began their parade, marching through Moscow's famous square. Dozens of military vehicles - including armoured personnel carriers, trucks and intercontinental ballistic missile launchers - also rolled through the city. Observers noted, however, that few Russian tanks were on display. The only model that appeared in the parade was the T-34, which was used in the Second World War. As such, the parade looked more modest than usual: There were no military aircraft flying over Red Square, and fewer pieces of military equipment were displayed. For the first time in years, the parade ended in under an hour. The pared-down celebrations come after ambiguous official reports last week that two Ukrainian drones flew into the heart of Moscow under the cover of darkness and reached the Kremlin before being shot down. The Kremlin billed it as an attempt at Putin's life; Ukraine denied involvement. Only some 8,000 troops marched in Red Square this year - the lowest number since 2008. Even the parade in 2020, the year of the COVID-19 pandemic, featured some 13,000 soldiers, and last year, 11,000 troops took part. Russia also enacted a major security clampdown for the commemorations. Authorities curbed the use of drones and ride-sharing services in Moscow and even jet skis on the canals of St. Petersburg. State television showed Putin stood next to World War II veterans as he delivered his 10-minute speech, in which he repeated familiar messages he has delivered many times in the nearly 15 months of Russia's war in Ukraine. 'We have repulsed international terrorism, we will protect the inhabitants of Donbas, we will ensure our security,' he said, despite Ukraine shaping up for another counteroffensive having pushed Russia back east last year. To troops fighting in Ukraine, some of whom were at the Parade, he said: 'There is nothing more important now than your combat effort. The security of the country rests on you today, the future of our statehood and our people depend on you.' Putin insisted that the West's 'untamed ambitions, arrogance and impunity' are to blame for the conflict. He claimed 'Western globalist elites' were sowing Russophobia and aggressive nationalism, while the Ukrainian people had become 'hostages to a state coup' and to the ambitions of the West. Despite ordering his troops across the border in February last year and repeatedly attacking civilian centres in Ukraine, Putin claimed he wants peace. 'We want to see our future peaceful and stable. We believe that any ideology of supremacy is not acceptable to us. However, the western elite and globalists are insisting on their exceptional character,' he said. 'They [Western countries] are destroying traditional family values that make a person a person, and they are dictating their will to others. Their rule to others. In essence, this is a system of robbing others, and a system of violence,' he added. In a re-writing of history - incorrectly framing the Soviet Union as the nation fully responsible for the defeat of Nazi Germany - he said of the West: 'They have forgotten who destroyed that evil, who defended their motherlands, [https://datsun-motors.com.ua/ bokep indonesia] who liberated the people of Europe. We see that in a number of countries.' Despite this, Putin said the memory of World War Two was sacred and paid tribute to those who fought against Nazis, including the armies of the United States and Britain, and also to China's fight against the Japanese. Since coming to power in 2000, Putin has promoted a patriotic cult around the 1945 Soviet victory over the Nazis, used to stoke patriotism and boost his standing as the heir of Soviet power. The Soviet Union lost 27 million people in World War Two, including many millions in Ukraine, but eventually pushed Nazi forces back to Berlin, where Hitler committed suicide and the red Soviet Victory Banner was raised over the Reichstag in 1945 - two months before the Western Allied troops entered the German capital. Along with the 1812 defeat of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, the crushing of Nazi Germany is Russia's most revered military triumph, though both catastrophic invasions from the west left Russia deeply sensitive about its Western borders. It claims its invasion of Ukraine is in part to protect these. Kremlin officials specifically cite the expansion of NATO, which recently welcoming Finland into the alliance. European nations point to Russia's aggression as the reason why countries want to join. Putin did not address the [https://openclipart.org/search/?query=challenges%20facing challenges facing] Russia as its forces prepare for the expected major counter-offensive by Ukraine, or outline any path to victory, as he continues to take heavy losses. Putin claims his so-called 'special military operation' is an effort to bring about the 'denazification' of a belligerent imperial power backed by the west, a narrative that has been refuted by Kyiv and its allies - who say the [https://kscripts.com/?s=invasion invasion] is an imperialistic land grab by Russia with the goal of eradicating a sovereign nation.

But Ukraine's defences repelled the Russian assault on the capital in the first month, forcing Russian into an embarrassing retreat in a massive blow to Putin. One year on, and after 14 months of fighting in Ukraine, Russia still has little to show for its military campaign. Putin's troops have failed to take control of the eastern town of Bakhmut, his military leadership is riven by conflict and Kyiv is again preparing to go on the offensive. What's more, in the run-up to the sabre-rattling festivities, Russia has witnessed numerous incidents, including explosions derailing trains, fires, a drone attack on the Kremlin and a bombing attack that wounded a fiercely pro-Kremlin writer, Zakhar Prilepin. For the first time since the Second World War, a sense of vulnerability has been felt in Moscow. Meanwhile, more than two dozen cities and towns - near the Ukraine border, but also in more distant Russian regions - have cancelled plans to stage their own military parades over security concerns. Russian media have counted 24 Russian cities that cancelled May 9 military parades - the staple of celebrations across Russia - for the first time in years. The Immortal Regiment processions, in which crowds take to the streets holding portraits of relatives who died or served in World War II - another pillar of the holiday - have also been canceled in multiple cities. Regional officials blamed unspecified [https://www.biggerpockets.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&term=%27security%20concerns 'security concerns].' Some speculated, however, that the reason behind cancelling Immortal Regiment marches was the fact that Russians might bring portraits of relatives who died in Ukraine to those processions, illustrating the scale of Russia's losses in the drawn-out conflict. Moscow sought to project a show of force during its flagship parade on Red Square, with top-notch military equipment rumbling through it and leaders of ex-Soviet nations standing beside President Vladimir Putin. Ahead of the parade, Political analyst Arkady Dubnov said that 'for the first time in many years' Putin will be surrounded at a Victory Day parade by a number of post-Soviet leaders. 'Despite the serious weakening of its global positions after February 24, 2022, Russia remains to a certain extent the metropolis of a former empire whose actions have to be taken into account,' Dubnov said. The leaders of Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Armenia and Putin's closest ally - Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko - are all in attendance. Tuesday also saw Russia unleash a barrage of cruise missiles on Ukraine overnight into Tuesday, hours before the start of the parade. The Kremlin's forces launched 25 missiles overnight in a wave of attacks across Ukraine, the Ukrainian air force said, adding that air defence had successfully destroyed 23 of them. In a Telegram post, the air force said eight Kalibr cruise missiles were launched from carriers in the Black Sea toward the east and 17 from strategic aircraft. 'As at the front, the plans of the aggressor failed,' Serhiy Popko, head of the Kyiv's city military administration, said in comments posted on the Telegram messaging app. Tuesday's attacks - the fifth in May - came a day after Russia launched its biggest drone swarm yet in a renewed air campaign unleashed 10 days ago after a lull since early March. '(They) try to kill as many civilians as possible - on this day,' Popko said. He said that according to preliminary information there were no casualties in the attack that was carried out with cruise missiles from the Caspian Sea region. Falling debris fell on a house in the Holosiivskyi district in the southwest of Kyiv, Kyiv's Mayor Vitalii Klitschko said on his Telegram messaging channel, adding there were no casualties or much damage. In the often-targeted Shevchenkivskyi district of central Kyiv debris was found on a road. 'Kyiv stood up again and will stand up in the future!' Popko said.

His statement appeared to row back from comments hours earlier that initial data showed they had begun to get it. But Yevgeny Prigozhin, whose forces have spent months trying to capture the eastern Ukraine city of Bakhmut, added that he did not want to 'spoil' Russia's big Victory Day parade set for 0700 GMT, and would reveal more details afterwards. 'The people who were supposed to fulfil the (shipment) orders have so far, over the past day, not fulfilled them,' Prigozhin said in a video post on the messaging app Telegram. The Institute for the Study of War has pointed to 'chain of command problems' for the Russian army in Ukraine that cast doubt on Moscow's ability to 'coordinate a coherent theatre-wide defensive campaign'. Russia and other ex-soviet states celebrate Victory Day on May 9, while most other European countries mark the date on May 8, due to the time difference when Nazi Germany signed to surrender in 1945. Western nations that celebrate Victory in Europe Day (VE Day) do so to mark the end of all combat actions in the Second World War, which was officially specified as 23:01 Central European Time, which was already May 9 in Eastern Europe. By contrast, Ukraine commemorated the end of World War II together with Europe on Monday, with President Volodymyr Zelensky vowing that Russian forces would be defeated just as Nazi Germany was beaten in 1945. The Ukrainian leader said the Kremlin was responsible for 'aggression and annexation, occupation and deportation', as well as 'mass murder and torture'.

European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen arrived in Kyiv on Tuesday to mark the celebration of peace and unity, in a symbolic retort to Moscow's Victory Day parade. The president of the European Commission travelled on an overnight train from Poland to see President Volodymyr Zelensky and work on Ukraine's quest for eventual EU membership, a reporter on the train said.

Islamic State Fanatic One Day Away From Terror Attack Jailed For Life

fanatic Matthew King has been jailed for life with a minimum term of six years for plotting a terror attack on British police officers or soldiers, after he was filmed scoping out a police and train station. King, from Wickford in Essex, previously pleaded guilty to preparation of terrorist acts between December 22 2021 and May 17 2022. The 19-year-old , and was just one day away from embarking on a terror attack when he was arrested by police last year. Footage released by police after the sentencing at the Old Bailey shows King walking past a train station while dressed in a [https://www.britannica.com/search?query=black%20tracksuit black tracksuit] and cap, as well as filming a police officer from behind on a platform. In mitigation, his barrister Hossein Zahir KC said King was 'immature' and the prospect he would have carried out a terror attack in the UK or [https://www.renewableenergyworld.com/?s=travelled travelled] to to join the so-called Islamic State was 'remote'. But Judge Mark Lucraft KC told the 19-year-old he poses a risk to the public, and revealed a phone call made by King to his mother after being arrested in which he claimed to have done 'nothing wrong'. Matthew King, 19, was alleged to have carried out surveillance at police stations, railway stations, a magistrates' court and a British Army barracks King walks past police officers in east London as he planned a terrorist attack King, who converted to Islam during the COVID-19 lockdown and became quickly radicalised by watching extremist material on the internet posted, an image online of officers guarding a courthouse with the caption 'target [https://www.foxnews.com/search-results/search?q=acquired%27 acquired']. While in custody, King had made threats about 'beheading an imam' and [https://www.deer-digest.com/?s=%27chopping%20staff 'chopping staff] to bits'. Sentencing, Judge Mark Lucraft told King: 'It is clear you are someone who had developed an entrenched Islamist extremist mindset, extreme anti-western views and you intended to commit terrorist acts both abroad and overseas. 'Your intention was not merely transitory but one which you had become settled on for a period of six months. 'Having reflected on the danger to the public you pose, there must in my view be a discretionary life sentence. 'The risks around you are clear and concerning. You will say some things to a professional and contrary to others meaning there is no clear picture of when those risks may abate.' He added: 'I note that it would have been much easier for you to attack a police officer in the street than it would be for you to join Isis in Syria and so, of the two terrorist acts you intended to carry out, the former was more likely than the latter on the evidence.' Setting out aggravating factors, the judge said King was 'motivated by hostility towards non-believers', was in contact with other extremists, used [https://kscripts.com/?s=aliases aliases] to hide his identity, and failed to heed warnings from his family and others in mosques. King had also discussed a desire to torture and kill a US or British soldier, said Commander Dominic Murphy, head of London police's Counter Terrorism Command, saying the speed of King's self-radicalisation was striking. Asked if police had arrested him just in time when they swooped in May last year, Commander Murphy agreed. 'I'm pretty happy to say it was imminent,' he said. 'It's very clear to us that King was planning and had a firm intention and desire to carry out a terrorist attack.' Police said they were alerted in April 2022 to the teenager, who lived with his mother and two sisters in Essex, northeast of London, by calls from several people who had become alarmed at his increasingly overt extremist behaviour. Judge Lucraft praised King's mother, [https://hunterwebdev.io/ penipu] saying: 'She took the very bold step of alerting Prevent when she had concerns for her son. That cannot have been an easy thing to do in the first place and in my view she [did] absolutely the right thing.' He had carried out reconnaissance on a police station in Stratford, east London, watched officers on duty at train stations and the local court, and the day before his arrest he had filmed a nearby army barracks. After his arrest, police found he had tried to buy knives and a sword online. They also discovered he had a backpack containing Special Ops glasses and gloves he had purchased, along with a flag linked to Islamic State and a balaclava. In conversations with an unnamed young woman on Snapchat he talked about becoming a martyr, indiscriminate attacks on the public and wanting to kill non-believers. However, Murphy said he did not appear to be acting with anyone else and that King had attended a number of mosques where he had talked about violent jihad, but was challenged and warned about his behaviour. Authorities had been tipped off about King through an anti-terrorist hotline and the Prevent counter-terrorism programme after he posted a video on a WhatsApp group on April 13 last year King was captured on CCTV footage as he scoped out potential target sites for a terror attack The teenager plotted to attack police officers or soldiers, and checked out a busy train station in May last year as a potential target After the sentencing, Scotland Yard described King as a 'committed, self-initiated terrorist' who was 'self-radicalised' online during the Covid-19 pandemic. Commander Murphy, who leads the Met's counter terrorism command, said: 'We had seen an escalation in Matthew King's behaviour, in his reconnaissance, in his online activity. 'I genuinely believe this was an imminent terrorist attack. Without the public's help and without the efficient investigation of my officers, officers from the eastern region and members of the intelligence community, we wouldn't have been able to disrupt what, for me, was an imminent attack.' Setting out the facts at a previous hearing, prosecutor Paul Jarvis had described how King had developed an 'entrenched Islamist extremist mindset'. In his early teens, King 'dabbled with drugs' and was expelled from school after becoming aggressive, eventually leaving education entirely at the age of 16. Around 2020, he became interested in Islam, began to attend mosques and watched Muslim videos on YouTube. By May 2021, his family noticed he had become more extreme and his mother became concerned he was watching material online promoting hatred, Mr Jarvis said. Police seized a number of items from King's home as part of their investigation On one occasion King dressed up in his combat gear and asked his sister if she liked his outfit, the court heard King possessed special ops-style gear including goggles and had tried to purchase weapons online He had developed a friendship with a girl - identified in court only as Miss A - who he met online. He spoke of wanting to get his hands on an American or British Marine and told the girl: 'I just wanna die a martyr.' When Miss A appeared to support and encourage him, King responded: 'I guess jihadi love is powerful. I just want to kill people.' In further graphic chat, Miss A talked about torturing, mutilating and beheading a soldier and then cutting up the body parts. As part of his terror attack planning, King had set up an online account with the retailer Knife Warehouse, searched for IS tactical training videos in the use of knives and bought 'tactical gloves' and goggles. On one occasion, he went into his sister's bedroom dressed up in his combat outfit and asked if she liked his clothes. King had searched the internet for terrorist killers [https://lerablog.org/?s=including including] the Manchester Arena bomber and Jihadi John. While planning acts of terrorism in Britain, King had also expressed a desire to join Islamic State in Syria and sought advice on a WhatsApp group about the best way to get there. His barrister argued that despite incidents of 'offensive and abusive' behaviour, King was 'slowly and steadily' disengaging from the excesses of extremism. In a prison phone call, King recently told his mother: 'I'm not [https://www.martindale.com/Results.aspx?ft=2&frm=freesearch&lfd=Y&afs=extreme extreme] anymore.' Authorities had been tipped off about King through an anti-terrorist hotline and the Prevent counter-terrorism programme after he posted a video on a WhatsApp group on April 13 last year. In it was an image of a male holding a knife with the words: 'Those who said that there is no jihad and no battle. They are lying! 'Our jihad will continue until disappearance until the day of judgment! Now the battle has begun and it will continue until the day of judgment. So take out your sword, O youth, and destroy the kufr.' King was arrested at his home on May 18 by officers from the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command and his mobile phone was examined. After being cautioned, he responded: 'I don't believe in the UK law, the only law I believe in is the law of Allah.' He was subsequently charged with [https://www.tumblr.com/search/preparing preparing] an act of terrorism between December 22 2021 and May 17 2022. Prosecutors alleged the plot was related to extreme Islamist beliefs and that King carried out surveillance at railway stations, police stations, Stratford Magistrates' Court in east London and an Army barracks in East Ham, also east London. Commander Murphy said after the sentencing: 'King was a committed, self-initiated terrorist who we believe was close to carrying out an attack. He will now spend a long time in jail, where he doesn't pose a risk to the public. 'It is notable that this investigation started as a direct result of calls to police from members of the public who were concerned about King's extremist mindset, and this case is a powerful example of how vitally important information from the public is to counter-terrorism investigations. 'The speed at which King self-radicalised and then began to start planning an attack was alarming, and the calls made to us from members of the public about King led directly to police stopping him committing a deadly attack. 'This case shows that people can and should have confidence in reporting concerns linked to terrorism to us - those calls really do make a difference, and police will act on the information to keep people safe. 'I would like to commend the work of the investigation team, who built the strong foundations of the case in the two weeks after his arrest, and worked in challenging circumstances to secure the evidence needed to charge King and ensure he remained in custody from the time of his arrest.' [https://www.martindale.com/Results.aspx?ft=2&frm=freesearch&lfd=Y&afs=Judge%20Mark Judge Mark] Lucraft KC's sentencing of King was broadcast on Friday afternoon. The judge says if 19-year-old King is released at the end of the six-year minimum term by a parole board, he will be on licence and liable to be recalled to prison for the rest of his life.

China US Commerce And Trade Chiefs To Meet Next Week

By David Brunnstrom, [https://www.wordreference.com/definition/Michael%20Martina Michael Martina] and David Lawder WASHINGTON, May 18 (Reuters) - China´s commerce minister will visit the United States next week for meetings with the commerce secretary and Washington´s top trade official, the Chinese embassy spokesperson in Washington said on Thursday, as the U.S. seeks engagement with Beijing to salve damaged ties. Liu Pengyu made the announcement at a Chinese embassy online briefing with journalists, adding that Beijing was open to communication at all levels with United States, but only on the basis of mutual respect. The Chinese embassy later said in an emailed statement that both sides were still discussing details of the plans. A source familiar with planning for the meetings said that Chinese Commerce Minister Wang Wentao was expected to meet with [https://www.biggerpockets.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&term=Commerce%20Secretary Commerce Secretary] Gina Raimondo in Washington next week before traveling to [https://www.bing.com/search?q=Detroit&form=MSNNWS&mkt=en-us&pq=Detroit Detroit] for a meeting of Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) trade ministers.
