new video loaded: Attack on Jewish Ambulance Service Being Investigated as Hate Crime transcript Back transcript Attack on Jewish Ambulance Service Being Investigated as Hate Crime On Monday, four ambulances belonging to a Jewish nonprofit were set on fire. The police said that they were assessing a claim of a video claiming responsibility for the attack and were investigating the incident as an antisemitic hate crime. “This is a horrific antisemitic attack. And of course, my thoughts, I think all of our thoughts, will be with those in the vicinity. Antisemitism has no place in our society. And it’s really important that we all stand together at a moment like this.” “We believe we’re looking for three suspects at this early stage. CCTV footage appears to show three people in hoods pouring accelerant onto the vehicles before igniting them and fleeing. Establishing the authenticity and accuracy of this claim will be a priority for the investigation team, but it is not something we can confirm at this point.” On Monday, four ambulances belonging to a …

Orbán’s Top Opponent Says Hungary’s Alleged Russian Backchannel ‘Treason’ to Be Investigated

Orbán’s Top Opponent Says Hungary’s Alleged Russian Backchannel ‘Treason’ to Be Investigated

Published by Sam Flores

BUDAPEST, Hungary (AP) — The front-runner in Hungary’s parliamentary election said on Monday that an alleged backchannel between Budapest and Moscow should be investigated as “treason” after the Washington Post reported that Hungary’s government has for years provided Russia with detailed information from EU Council meetings. Péter Magyar, the main political opponent of Hungary’s long-serving leader Viktor Orbán, said in a social media post that Hungarian Foreign Minister Péter Szijjárto “appears to be colluding with Russia, thereby betraying Hungarian and European interests.” “If confirmed, this would amount to treason, which carries a potential life sentence. A future TISZA government will immediately investigate the matter,” Magyar wrote. Tisza is Hungary’s main opposition party that is currently ahead in the polls three weeks before parliamentary elections. Their victory would unseat Orbán’s nationalist Fidesz party, which took power in 2010. The Post, citing several current and former European security officials, found that Orbán’s government has long offered Moscow access to sensitive discussions within the European Union. During breaks at EU meetings like last Thursday’s summit of the bloc’s …

Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech A prominent publisher is pulling a horror novel after the author was widely accused of using AI to help write the book, The New York Times reports. Hachette Book Group, one of the largest publishing houses in the US, said it will discontinue selling “Shy Girl” by Mia Ballard in the UK, where it was released last fall and sold 1,800 print copies, per data cited in the reporting. It will also cancel plans to publish a US edition, which was slated to release this spring through its Orbit imprint.  “Hachette remains committed to protecting original creative expression and storytelling,” a Hachette spokeswoman said. The spokesperson noted that Hachette requires all submissions to be original to the authors and that the authors disclose whether AI is used during the writing process, suggesting it views alleged AI usage not merely as an affront to creative principles, but as a contractual violation.

The family of a man who died waiting for life-saving brain surgery at one of the country’s leading hospitals say they’re “furious” the department which treated him is now under rapid investigation. John Brackenbury died in 2016 after doctors at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge prioritised another patient for treatment. Despite several recommendations being made after John’s death, whistleblowers at the hospital have told Sky News that changes didn’t happen. Image: John Brackenbury died after a surgical mix-up at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge Mr Brackenbury’s daughter, Jenny Dunk, said it’s “despicable” that lessons weren’t learnt from his death. “Nobody cared, nobody saw dad as a human being, you know, they’re all about kind of looking after themselves and their own egos and protecting each other,” Jenny said. John was admitted to Addenbrooke’s in November 2016 after suffering a brain haemorrhage, which needed treatment within 48 hours.

Frozen proceeds of Roman Abramovich’s Chelsea FC sale ‘investigated in Jersey’ | UK News

Frozen proceeds of Roman Abramovich’s Chelsea FC sale ‘investigated in Jersey’ | UK News

Published by Sam Flores

The frozen proceeds of Roman Abramovich’s sale of Chelsea are being investigated in Jersey over whether they “amount to the proceeds of crime”, according to accounts published by the company through which the Russian owned the football club. This relates to investigations into the sanctioned oligarch and is unconnected to the new owners who bought Chelsea in 2022 but further complicates moves to release the cash to help Ukrainians. Mr Abramovich, who has previously denied wrongdoing linked to his finances and close connections to President Vladimir Putin, was sanctioned by the UK and Jersey governments in 2022 at the start of Russia‘s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in a targeting of oligarchs. That led to the enforced sale of his Premier League asset and he has remained in dispute with UK governments over how much of the cash goes to humanitarian causes and who receives it.

“We need to be very diligent about not only our security here at home, but obviously targets around the world where there are U.S. assets including embassies and so on,” he told Fox News. Since the start of the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran on Feb. 28, Washington has closed its embassies in Saudi Arabia, Lebanon and Kuwait and placed others on high alert. An Iranian drone struck a parking lot near the U.S. embassy in Dubai last week, while drone fire hit the U.S. embassy in Riyadh. “We’ve been very fortunate, obviously, but our embassies and our diplomatic facilities are under direct attack from a terroristic regime,” U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said at the time of the Dubai attack. Separately, at least 10 people were killed and many more injured when U.S. marines opened fire on protesters who attempted to storm the U.S. consulate in Karachi, Pakistan on March 1, shortly after the U.S. and Israel began striking Iran and assassinated Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. While police in Oslo have identified no suspects …
