Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
Bkk Brian replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
Just saw this on BBC, awful news, helicopter crash in Kyiv, 18 dead including children (it crashed near a nursery), government officials onboard also dead. Looks like a tragic accident at this stage, helicopters have to fly very low and it was misty. Ukraine crash: Ministers killed as helicopter comes down near nursery Eighteen people have been killed, including Ukraine's interior affairs minister, after a helicopter crashed beside a kindergarten in an eastern suburb of the capital Kyiv. Three children were among the dead and 15 more are being treated in hospital, the minister, Denys Monastyrsky, was with eight others in the helicopter. His first deputy minister and the state secretary also died, officials said, when the helicopter came down in the suburb of Brovary. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-64315594 -

Link? You are in the news thread and claims need to be supported by credible links

How the Biden and Trump classified documents cases compare

It was an amazing take down, he got what he deserved. ???? But nothing to do with this topic. Maybe next time he ask's her for her email address he'll be a little more polite............oooops he can't. He's in prison being investigated for rape, human trafficking and organized crime, oh and his cars, they've been seized........lol "Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg has won the internet’s admiration yet again, with her response to a controversial media personality known for his misogynistic and far-right comments, Andrew Tate, on Wednesday. The two engaged in a war of words on the microblogging platform Twitter, where Tate seemingly took a jibe at Thunberg while flexing the number of supercars he owns and asked for her email id" https://www.wionews.com/trending/small-d-energy-greta-thunberg-responds-to-andrew-tates-supercar-flex-on-twitter-he-replies-547631

That's 3rd grade school stuff: CO2 Makes Up Just 0.04% of Earth's Atmosphere. Here's Why Its Impact Is So Massive Yes I'm sure she knows, she went to school

She's inspired hope to millions, increased pressure on governments and inspired scientists to help effect change. “Speaking as a climate change scientist who has been working on this issue for 20 years and saying the same thing for 20 years, she is getting people to listen, which we have failed to do,” said Saleemul Huq, director of the International Centre for Climate Change & Development in Bangladesh.

Hopefully he'll manage to rise back up after this as I did enjoy his shows but that article was extremely offensive and he knows it. Jeremy Clarkson Has Sent Meghan And Harry An Apology Email 'I said I was baffled by what they had been saying on TV but that the language I'd used in my column was disgraceful and that I was profoundly sorry.' The statement goes on to say that he was 'mortified and so was everyone else', and even 'very close friends were furious.' As a result, Clarkson says he 'wrote to everyone who works with me saying how sorry I was and then on Christmas morning, I e-mailed Harry and Meghan in California to apologise to them too.' https://www.elle.com/uk/life-and-culture/a42523038/jeremy-clarkson-apology-email-meghan-harry/

Nobody that respects human/child rights says that. Unfortunately its a problem not only in Congo mining but also in the oil industry outside of congo, not to mention clothing, shoes, carpets. Look it up. If you read the full link that was provided apart from the selected quote you can see what the EV car industry is trying to do about it.

Elon Musk begins trial over Tesla tweet that cost him $20m
Bkk Brian replied to Scott's topic in World News
That about sums him up perfectly. On this case things are not looking good for him at all, in April the federal judge said “no reasonable jury could find Musk’s tweets on August 7, 2018 accurate or not misleading” He ended up paying $20 million to SEC but if found guilty here it could run into billions. Even the Saudi Investment company that he claims he had talks with have refused to attend the hearing. Time for pay back for the investors who have lost so much. The twitter investors must wish they could do the same. Elon has not only been deceiving his Tesla investors but in a separate case it was revealed yesterday, deliberately produced a staged video on the safety of the self driving ability of Tesla which is not just an investor problem but one that can lead directly to deaths. -
Wow the hate is real, Greta has done more than any of us to help change politicians and policy makers perspectives and attitude to a more sustainable future. I applaud her for that. Even though I don't always agree with some of her actions such as this one.

California battles deadly storms with millions under flood watch
Bkk Brian replied to Scott's topic in World News
From the OP article Nasa climate scientist "If we are unable to slow the warming of the atmosphere, we can expect to see more and more extreme events happening more and more frequently," Miner told the BBC, while surveying storm damage on a beach in Ventura. "And that's global. That's not just in California." Its possible, the world pulled together to reduce the ozone layer hole, a real scientific achievement that has avoided the catastrophic effects that would have occurred had it just been left to grow and grow. Tackling climate change is more of a challenge but even without some countries pulling their weight it is possible to slow and eventually reduce it, if you care about the future of humanity, your children and their children that is. -

Since when have the facts suddenly transformed into conspiracy theories. Read my initial post again. Jared is involved, the link provides evidence. How far he is involved is uknown unless an investigation looks at it. -

Trump's son-in-law tried to jump-start LIV media talks Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of former President Donald Trump, called on one of his U.S. media connections to try to help the controversial Saudi-backed LIV Golf tour secure a media rights deal. https://www.sportsbusinessjournal.com/SB-Blogs/Newsletter-Media/2022/08/15.aspx -

Wouldn't surprise me if Jared Kushner was slap bang in the middle of this, its was reported that LIV Golf had been leaning on him. $2 billion investment he received from the Saudi's for his private equity firm. -
Donald Trump's Saudi Arabia Payments Spark Calls for Fresh Investigation
Bkk Brian replied to Scott's topic in World News
I guess MAGA does not count for Trump on this occasion: "We welcome good, healthy competition," PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said in a news conference last week. "The LIV Saudi golf league is not that. "If this is an arms race and the only weapons are dollar bills, the PGA Tour, an American institution, cannot compete with a foreign monarchy that is spending billions of dollars to buy the game of golf." https://www.newsweek.com/luring-players-cash-saudi-backed-golf-tour-accused-sportswashing-1720751 -

LOL, my post stands whether you like it or not and shows just how much over they pay the players and you would be foolish to claim they did not provide more to Trump than a normal PGA tour -

Oh yes, it provides life changing benefits for the players financially well above anything else available. LIV events will have a $25 million purse, with a $4 million winner's share. The events are shorter than the PGA Tour's (three days instead of four), and a season-ending team championship brings in a $50 million purse, according to sportswriter Robert Lusetich. Even the last-place finisher, who earns nothing on the PGA Tour, will get a $120,000 payout after playing an LIV event. Bryson DeChambeau, an eight-time PGA Tour winner received $100 million to join the LIV series. -
Assault on Kiev: Russian helicopters swoop above Ukraine's capital
Bkk Brian replied to Chris.B's topic in The War in Ukraine
Latest Update from the UK Ministry of Defence which has reference to the strike on the block of flats at Dnipro and the false claim by Russia that a Ukraine air defence missile was responsible. (1/7) On 14 January 2023, Russia resumed long-range missile strikes against Ukrainian infrastructure, the first in approximately 15 days, launching tens of missiles. (2/7) As with the previous eight waves of strikes since 11 October 2022, Russia primarily targeted the Ukrainian electricity grid. (3/7) An AS-4 KITCHEN large anti-ship missile, launched from a Tu-22M3 BACKFIRE medium bomber, highly likely struck a block of flats in Dnipro city which resulted in the death of at least 40 people. (4/7) Russia falsely implied a Ukrainian air defence missile was responsible. KITCHEN is notoriously inaccurate when used against ground targets as its radar guidance system is poor at differentiating targets in urban areas. (5/7) Similar weapons have been responsible for other incidents of civilian mass-casualties, including the Kremenchuk shopping centre strike of 27 June 2022. (6/7) While some missiles such as KITCHEN are unsuitable for precision strike, evidence from the Ukraine war suggests that dysfunction of Russia’s long-range strike capability is more profound. (7/7) It highly likely struggles to dynamically identify targets, and to access rapid and accurate battle damage assessment. https://twitter.com/DefenceHQ/status/1615234018164760576
