Wonder how long this is going to take, another delaying tactic Trump allowed 'special master' in case over handling of classified documents The former president had asked for the special master to be appointed, while prosecutors had strongly opposed it - and the appointment is likely to slow down the justice department's ongoing criminal investigation. That is because the judge has banned the government from reviewing or using the seized materials for its investigation until the special master's independent review has been completed. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-62799425 Just noticed, new thread on it here: https://aseannow.com/topic/1271017-takeaways-from-the-ruling-granting-trumps-request-for-a-special-master-in-mar-a-lago-probe/

Russia cuts off gas exports to Europe via Nord Stream indefinitely
Bkk Brian replied to Scott's topic in World News
From Financial Times "Just in: Russia’s gas supplies to Europe will not resume in full until the 'collective west' lifts sanctions against Moscow over its invasion of Ukraine, the Kremlin has said." Meanwhile Russia is burning off all its gas supply destined for Germany: Experts say the gas would previously have been exported to Germany. Germany's ambassador to the UK told BBC News that Russia was burning the gas because "they couldn't sell it elsewhere". Scientists are concerned about the large volumes of carbon dioxide and soot it is creating, which could exacerbate the melting of Arctic ice. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-62652133 -
Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
Bkk Brian replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
I see still nothing going to plan with the orcs.....???? Ukraine war: Russia postpones referendum in occupied region "This is being paused because of the security situation," said Kirill Stremousov, deputy head of the Russian-appointed administration there. The Ukrainian army has launched a long-awaited counter-offensive in the south, where Russia plans referendums in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. Speaking on Russian state TV, Mr Stremousov said Ukrainian shelling had damaged the Antonovskiy Bridge to such an extent that vehicles could no longer cross it. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-62795976 -
Ok seems you need to rewind a little, you say "There is no way to check this "data" properly" because the report says the following: "We pulled the data from yearly crime reports released by state governments, specifically the Departments of Justice and Safety. For states that didn’t issue state crime reports, we pulled data from reputable local news sources." https://www.thirdway.org/report/the-red-state-murder-problem So tell me why are you concerned about checking the data when you do not seem concerned on checking the data from random polls or crime statistics? I know why, because its not from Fox News but I'll leave that with you...............lol For anyone else who wants to check the data then all they need to do is email or contact Thirdway.org which I'm sure the Washington Post also did when they ran the report.

You missed : "We pulled the data from yearly crime reports released by state governments, specifically the Departments of Justice and Safety. For states that didn’t issue state crime reports, we pulled data from reputable local news sources." It filled plenty of other news outlets with confidence to cite the report, however unsurprisingly not you.

The statistics Trump used were taken from the FBI and Trump of course failed to mention this: But the FBI has warned against using its statistics in a way which ranks cities and oversimplifies what causes crime. "These rough rankings provide no insight into the numerous variables that mould crime in a particular town, city, county, state, tribal area, or region," it says on its website. "Consequently, they lead to simplistic and/or incomplete analyses that often create misleading perceptions adversely affecting communities and their residents." Regarding the murder rates from the opinion piece in the Hill article, it was an opinion based on statistics ie facts if you had gone to the links they provided: In 2020, per capita murder rates were 40% higher in states won by Donald Trump than those won by Joe Biden. there is a large piece of the homicide story that is missing and calls into question the veracity of the right-wing obsession over homicides in Democratic cities: murder rates are far higher in Trump-voting red states than Biden-voting blue states. And sometimes, murder rates are highest in cities with Republican mayors. https://www.thirdway.org/report/the-red-state-murder-problem

That's not quite true though is it?

Desperation for many in Pakistan Officials in the south of Pakistan have warned that more flooding is to come, with Lake Manchar swelling from unprecedented monsoon rains that have killed nearly 1,300 people. Her children are riddled with mosquito bites, their eyes infected, swollen and red. The youngest, Khadija, is listless and caked in mud. "We have nothing. We wake up, sit in the sun and go to sleep again. We have no rations, no food, no water - not even a sip of tea. Look!" She points to a terracotta pot on two bricks. https://news.sky.com/story/pakistan-floods-leave-people-desperate-and-hungry-with-warning-more-is-to-come-12689655
