1 | Bosnians protest against Croatia's plans for a radioactive waste disposal facility |
---|---|
2 | On Friday hundreds of people gathered in north-western Bosnia in protest against plans of neighboring Croatia to store part of the waste from the only nuclear power plant in the region near the border with Bosnia and the main river known for its natural beauty. |
3 | The demonstrators in Bosnian town Novi Grad demanded that Croatia abandon its plans to build a landfill site in the former military barracks in Trgovska Gora and declared a fight against the project. |
4 | The facility would store waste from the Krško nuclear power plant. |
5 | We must say NO, |
6 | Miroslav Drljaca, mayor of Novi Grad municipality, told the crowd. |
7 | We must fight to protect our way of life and our Una. |
8 | The Krško power plant located in Slovenia, built in the 1980s, also belongs to Croatia. |
9 | Representatives of both countries are to meet next week to discuss additional landfills. |
10 | The Croatian public television HRT reported on Friday that it has not yet been decided in Croatia whether to build a landfill site on its own or to pay for storing part of the waste in a new facility built by Slovenia. |
11 | The Croatian Minister of Environment and Energy Tomislav Coric told journalists that Croatia also has a problem with the disposal of institutional waste from schools, hospitals and prisons and hopes to find a comprehensive solution. |
12 | In Bosnia, activists, officials and residents on each side of the country's ethnic division insisted that Croatia should find a different location in a part of the country closer to the power plant. |
13 | We cannot let them humiliate us! |

34 | The American Congress has agreed to sell 32 F-35 aircraft to Poland |
35 | The U.S. Congress for the statutory 15 days after the State Department approved the possible purchase by Poland of 32 F-35 multi-purpose fighters did not object to this transaction, which means that the last condition was met before the purchase negotiations began. |
36 | The decision of the Congress, although not unexpected, has great political significance. |
37 | The expert explained that under the Arms Export Control Act of 1976, the Federal Government, represented by the State Department, must notify Congress of any planned sale of arms abroad 15 days before signing a contract, if the value of such a transaction, in the case of selling arms to a NATO member country, exceeds $50 million. |
38 | The value of the proposed purchase of 32 F-35 fighters by Poland is estimated at USD 6.5 billion. This amount includes the costs of technical and logistical assistance, auxiliary equipment and pilot training. |
39 | The main supplier of F-35 planes - if this transaction is finally completed - will be the American armaments company Lockheed Martin, and its subcontractor is the F-35A fighter engine manufacturer Pratt and Whitney. |
40 | Proposals to purchase the fifth generation F-35 American fighters on behalf of the Polish authorities were submitted in May by Minister of Defense Mariusz Błaszczak. |
41 | The Polish offer was discussed in June this year during a meeting between President Andrzej Duda and President Donald Trump at the White House. |
42 | The implementation of this agreement, if it is finalized, will be supervised by representatives of the Pentagon within the framework of the Foreign Military Sales Program (FMS). |
43 | As part of the FMS program, Poland has already acquired, among others, the Patriot anti-missile system. |
44 | The price of one F-35 fighter was about 89.2 million dollars without weapons and technical assistance at the time of the Polish bid. |
45 | PAP's interlocutors expressed their hope that the final negotiations on the purchase of American fighter planes by Poland will be completed this year. |
46 | Possible participation of Polish subcontractors in this transaction - i.e. offset - will be discussed directly with American F-35 fighter manufacturers. |
47 | Guardians and parents with the above mentioned disorder pretend that their healthy child is sick. |
48 | It tells the story of Payton Hobart, who wants to become president of the United States of America, but first has to become president of the student council in his high school. |
49 | Without revealing too many details for those who have not yet had the opportunity to see the series, it addresses the subject of Münchhausen's replacement syndrome - a mental illness that occurs in carers who act as if the healthy person they are dealing with were affected by a physical or mental illness. |
50 | There are different types of this disease, e.g. Münchhausen's syndrome, which causes symptoms of the disease. |
51 | Münchhausen's replacement team simulates that the person in our care has certain ailments. |
52 | It is also called an imaginary and induced disease, and is treated as violence against the child. |
53 | This is a rare condition that usually involves a parent exaggerating symptoms or causing symptoms to appear sick. |
54 | What are the symptoms of Münchhausen's replacement syndrome? |
55 | Symptoms of this disease may vary, but the NHS notes the following examples of behaviour: |
56 | Persuading the medical personnel that a child who looks healthy, however, feels bad. |
57 | Exaggerating or inventing symptoms. |
58 | Falsifying the results so that the child is considered sick, e.g. giving glucose to urine samples to make it look like the child has diabetes. |
59 | Causing symptoms of the disease, e.g. giving children unnecessary medicines and other substances. |
60 | How often does Münchhausen's replacement band perform? |
61 | It is difficult to estimate how often this disorder occurs because many cases are not reported. |
62 | A study published in 2000 indicates that there have been 89 cases of this disorder per 100,000 people in over two years. |
63 | What should be done if there are suspicions that the child may be in danger? |
64 | Contact your local Secret Service branch or call the NSPCC Child Protection Helpline on 0808 800 5000. |
65 | Nigeria: Police raid on Kaduna school, evacuation of 300 children |
66 | Kaduna - The state police station in Kaduna yesterday conducted a raid on the Imamu Ahmad Bn Hambal school in Layin Maidubun Tsumma in Rigas, Igabi Municipality Area, arrested seven teachers and evacuated about 300 children. |
67 | The police claimed that the children were in highly dehumanized conditions. The school authorities deny this claim. |
68 | Before accepting children to school, parents signed the form. |
69 | Parents brought food to their children every day and knew what conditions they were in. |
70 | We were extremely surprised by the arrival of the police and the evacuation of the children, as well as the removal of all of the students' food delivered by their parents before the school was closed. |
71 | This is not right, because parents can testify whether their children are in bad conditions, as the police say. |
72 | He added that the previous Police Commissioner Abdurrahman, who once visited the school to check the level of childcare, never had any objections. |
73 | He claimed that children study the Koran and nothing else. |
74 | However, Yakubu Sabo, a public relations officer at the police station, decided that the children would join their parents after the state was handed over to the government. |

82 | If you button up the first button incorrectly, the rest will never get to the right place. |
83 | An American of Chinese origin, Henry Xiao believes that at the heart of the GBA, his company can enjoy many privileges with regard to new rules, government policies and capital resources, especially talent. |
84 | Stephan Mohler from Switzerland as technical director of quality at Pearl River Pianos believes that the secret of quality lies in the correct execution of simple work. |

129 | Dressed in a camouflage suit, the man grabbed a 12-year-old girl from behind and dragged her into dense bushes in the Central Coast in May 2017. |
130 | Then he tied her to a tree and raped her. |
131 | Shortly after the arrest, a search warrant was executed in his house, where the officers detained a number of items essential for the investigation. |
132 | The man confessed his guilt with regard to seven charges related to the attack and three more concerning the seduction and sexual exploitation of another girl, aged 11 years, between August 2016 and August 2017. |
133 | The 12-year-old victim was walking along the path, and when she looked back, she saw him suddenly come out of the bushes armed with a large branch and knife. |
134 | Don't shout, or I'll have to hurt you. |
135 | Holding the knife in his right hand, he tied her arms and legs with cable ties, and then tied her to a tree and raped her for almost an hour. |
136 | When he cut her off, the girl ran to school with a hysterical scream. |
137 | The man arrived at work around 9.30 a.m. without answering a few SMS and calls from colleagues. |
138 | His clothing was dirty and wore traces of grass and tree, and he claimed to have been involved in an accident related to a rage attack on the road where he chased another driver in the bushes and fell off the mound. |
139 | The trial of the man's conviction will continue on Tuesday. |
140 | The Pope calls on the executive directors of technology companies to use artificial intelligence for the common good |
141 | On Friday, Pope Francis warned the executive directors of technology companies, diplomats, and financiers that the race to create artificial intelligence and other forms of digital achievement is threatening to increase social inequalities if it does not consider the common good from an ethical point of view. |
142 | Pope Francis gave these words at a conference at the Vatican, attended by government envoys and representatives of Facebook and Google, as well as philosophers, physicists and ethicists. |
143 | This three-day event is the latest proof that the Vatican is interested in participating in the debate on the prospects and threats of artificial intelligence. |
144 | The discussion focused on technological developments in the art of war and the future of work, in connection with which machines will play an increasingly important role, as well as a case study investigating the Christchurch assassination attempt in New Zealand and the decisions made by social media companies in connection with the spread of the film recording the massacre. |
145 | During his speech at the conference, Pope Francis praised the potential of technological progress, noting that machines at the beginning of the industrial revolution saved workers from dangerous and monotonous work. |
146 | He warned, however, that the increasing dependence on robotic devices for profit is a risk of depriving people of their dignity resulting from work. |
147 | If the so-called technological progress of mankind were to become an enemy of the common good, it would lead to undesirable backwardness to some kind of barbarism dictated by the law of the strongest. |
148 | The organizers of the conference expressed their hope to use the expertise of the participants and to identify possible future advisors of the Catholic Church on high technology issues. |
149 | Martin Odegaard, a player borrowed from Real Madrid, makes fans euphoric with his impressive assistance. |
150 | Martin Odegaard noted an impressive assistant on Mikela Oyarzabala's opening goal. |
151 | Winning 2:0 against Osasuna, Real Madrid has climbed to the top of the La League table and continues the streak of being invincible on its own court this year. |
152 | However, despite not having failed a single one-time loss this season at La Liga Zinedine Zidane is under enormous pressure due to a turbulent preseason period and a public quarrel with Welsh star Gareth Bale. |
153 | The situation reached boiling point when Real Madrid was humiliated in the Champions League by Paris-Saint Germain (PSG). |
154 | However, Zinedine Zidane and Real Madrid have real talents at their disposal - the Frenchman has plans for some of them, for others not. |
155 | Vinícius Júnior is an example of such a star of the future of Real Madrid and currently plays in a band. |
156 | However, it was Norwegian young player Martin Odegaard, who was hired to Real Sociedad, who caused a great stir, counting the unbelievable assistance in the La League match. |
157 | During the meeting of Real Sociedad with Alaves Martin Odegaard performed an impressive assistant at the opening goal of Mikel Oyarzabala and Real Sociedad finally won 3:0 in front of his own audience. |
158 | After picking up the ball from the right, Martin Odegaard emancipated a player from the other team by putting a net on him and then sent an incredible pass by inches between two other players and his teammate. |
159 | The second goal by Willian Jose and the third by the amazing Oyarzabal, this time from the penalty kick, ensured a decisive victory for Imanola's charges before Manu Garcia was sent off the field five minutes before the game was over. |
160 | Martin Odegaard joined Real Madrid only as a 16 year old in 2015, but he had difficulties trying to meet the expectations of his fans. |
161 | Now, at the age of 20, the Norwegian footballer finally seems to feel confident on the pitch. |

164 | The Investigation Agency of the Executive Directorate, ED for short, has filed a case against Sharad Pawarov, his nephew Ajit Pawarov - former Deputy Chief Minister of Maharashtra - and others for fraud. |

167 | When the case came to me, Sharad Pawar's name was nowhere to be found. |
168 | Anna Hazare, a critic of Sharada Pawara, expressed hope that the truth will come to light as a result of ED's thorough investigation of the fraud. |
169 | Sharad Pawar denies committing a criminal act and claims that he was in no way affiliated with the bank, and questions the fact that the case was reported a few weeks before the October 21 election of the Maharasht Assembly. |
170 | The former Minister of the Union assured that he would not yield to the majesty of Delhi, referring explicitly to the central government led by the BJP party. |
171 | The NCP assessed the case of the Executive Directorate as politically motivated. |

249 | It was transferred to this police authority because Johnson was the equivalent of a police commissioner and a criminal commissioner. |
250 | Johnson denied that there were any irregularities due to his close relationship with Arcuri. |
251 | The injunction follows a report by The Sunday Times that Arcuri, an American woman who moved to London seven years ago, received £126,000 of budget money, as well as privileged access to three overseas trade missions headed by the then-champion of Johnson. |
252 | As a result of this report, the government froze a grant of £100,000 to Hacker House, a company owned by Arcuri, until the case is resolved. |
253 | The government will have troublesome questions about the verification procedure carried out before the funds are granted. |
254 | However, according to numerous reports, calls to the number were redirected to an office in California, where 34-year-old Arcuri is now to live. |
255 | The GLA's decision to refer the Prime Minister's case to the IOPC's independent police investigation office was met with dissatisfaction at 10 Downing Street. |
256 | Neither citizens nor the media will be fooled by such an overtly political bill. |
257 | Third accused of drug crimes in connection with the death of Mac Miller |
258 | LOS ANGELES (AP) - A third man was arrested and charged with drug offences in connection with last year's death of rapper Mac Miller due to a drug overdose. |
259 | Walter is accused of delivering the pills that another man, Cameron Pettit, sold to Miller. |
260 | Court documents unsealed on Tuesday reveal that Pettit was receiving drugs from Walter throughout August. |
261 | None of these men were directly accused of causing Miller's death, nor did any of them present a line of defence in their case. |
262 | Walter, who was on parole in the 2005 drugs case, is in custody, and has already been sentenced to five months' imprisonment for violating the conditions of his release. |
263 | Prosecutors who are dealing with the case first reported on Thursday on the TMZ celebrity website are demanding that Walter remain in custody pending trial, claiming that there is a serious risk of the accused escaping. |
264 | The answer to the message left on his lawyer's answering machine did not come immediately. |
265 | Pettit was charged in the federal court on September 4 and his lawyer refused to comment. |
266 | The lyrics of Miller's rhymed songs are an honest conversation about his depression and drug use, which has earned him fans among the biggest hip-hop stars. |
267 | A native of Pittsburgh, Miller, whose real name was Malcolm James Myers McCormick, had a relationship with singer Ariana Grande for two years, previously completed in 2018. |
268 | Miller is one of the musicians whose death has been linked in recent years with the abuse of opioids. |
269 | Matthew Roberts, guitarist of 3 Doors Down, also died as a result of an overdose in 2016, and the presence of fentanyl and hydrocodone was found in his body. |
270 | 9-year-old Nigerian creates over 30 games for mobile devices |
271 | The 9-year-old creates a fun game of hide and seek with the free Scratch 2 programming application. |
272 | Scratch 2 allows users to create games, animations and stories online or offline. |
273 | So far, Basil has used it to generate more than 30 games for mobile devices. |
274 | In today's game there is a bat that hides according to the program. |
275 | The player scores a point every time he catches a bat that comes out of the hideout. |
276 | I learned how to create games on a fast track course. |
277 | In March, Dad enrolled him in a five-day accelerated course for children between the ages of 5 and 15. |
278 | The course, organized by Codefest International, was aimed at providing children like Basil with access to new technologies like robotics and virtual reality. |
279 | The boy's father, Basil Okpara senior, claims that Basil played a lot of games on mobile devices. |
280 | But Basil's interest in creating games increased when he was 7 years old and he was given a board for devoting all his time to games. |
281 | Since then, Basil has been actively interested in learning how to create his own games, and he encouraged his parents to buy a laptop and sign it up for a course where he learned the basics of creating games. |
282 | Basil, who wants to be a scientist in the future, gives his games titles based on their content. |
283 | Africa has the largest population of young people in the world and, like Basil, this population takes the lead in innovation on the continent. |
284 | Recently, two Nigerian 12-year-olds have been celebrated for using codes to create robots to separate their work at home. |
285 | In May, the Acrobot team from a high school for women in Ghana won the Robofest 2019 contest for programming robots for stacking boxes. |
286 | And thanks to the growing investments of technology giants like Google and Microsoft, in Africa, Basil and his peers are well on their way to becoming coding stars. |
287 | Former President of the Republican Party in North Carolina will admit to lying about corruption |
288 | According to court documents filed on Friday, the former president of the Republican Party in North Carolina will admit in court that he lied to federal agents investigating corruption of the main political donor. |
289 | According to the wokanda, Robin Hayes is to confess next Wednesday. |
290 | A factual basis document, prepared as part of a defense settlement and signed by Hayes' lawyer, shows that Hayes knew he was making a false statement to FBI agents investigating corruption in 2018. |
291 | The defense settlement was sealed, and there is no factual basis on which Hayes will confess. |
292 | Initially, he was accused of collusion, corruption and giving false testimony. |
293 | Prosecutors accused former Congressman Hayes of participating in an insurance company's government plan to make campaign contributions to the country's main insurance regulator in exchange for special treatment. |
294 | Director Greg Lindberg and his two associates have been accused of attempting to bribe state insurance commissioner Mike Causey. |
295 | Lindberg is the founder of an insurance and investment company, and in recent years has been one of the main political donors in the state, having donated over $5 million to national and federal candidates and committees since 2016. |
296 | He mainly supported the goals and politicians of the Republican Party, but he also made donations to the Democrats. |
297 | His lawyer did not reply to Friday's email asking for a comment. |
298 | Hayes Kearns Davis' defense attorney did not respond to Friday's email asking for comments. |
299 | According to court documents filed on Friday, Hayes lied to FBI agents in August 2018 when he said he hadn't talked to Causey about employees of the state insurance department. |
300 | According to the factsheet, Hayes actually talked to the insurance commissioner about Lindberg's request to make changes to the staff employed by the market regulator. |
301 | The accusers claim that Hayes also helped Lindberg to arrange a meeting with Causey and that he talked about the bribe directly to the regulator. |
302 | According to the April indictment, Lindberg required special treatment for his insurance business and planned to donate up to $2 million for Causeya's renewed campaign in 2020. |
303 | The indictment also states that the conspiracy also demanded a change of department official who controlled Lindberg. |
304 | As a Republican, Causey reported the alleged attempted corruption to federal agents and helped them gather evidence in the case. |
305 | He was not charged. |
306 | According to the indictment, Lindberg's accomplice ordered Hayes to donate $250,000 to Causey's campaign during a conversation in which Lindberg and Causey were also present. |
307 | During the conversation, Hayes initially protested, claiming that giving such an amount of money would attract attention, but, according to the accusation, he eventually resigned. |
308 | All right, I'll take care of it. |
309 | The spokeswoman of the Federal Prosecutor did not respond to an e-mail asking for further information on the settlement. |
310 | Drivers will drive the first section of the new zakopianka |
311 | From Saturday, drivers will be able to use the first of the three mountain sections of the S7 expressway under construction, i.e. the new Zakopianka - from Skomielna Biała to Rabka Zdrój and further on the dual carriageway main road accelerated to Chabówka. |
312 | As Iwona Mikrut, spokeswoman of the Krakow branch of the General Directorate for National Roads and Motorways (GDDKiA), informed on Friday, this is the first of three sections of the S7 under construction south of Krakow, from Lubin to Rabka Zdroj, which will be put into operation. |
313 | From the over 6-kilometre-long section from Skomielna Biała to Chabówka more than one third, that is approx. |
314 | 2.3 km, it was led on viaducts. |
315 | Seventeen of them were built, including the longest and highest, one kilometer long and 50 m high, and four small objects on watercourses at the Skomielna junction. |
316 | From this junction there were exits to Wadowice and Nowy Sącz, to national road No. 28 and to the old DK7. |
317 | From the next junction, Zabornia, you can take the DK47 in the direction of Nowy Targ and Zakopane and the DK7 to Chyżne and the state border with Slovakia. |
318 | On Zbojecka Góra, a place for ILO travelers was established. |
319 | The expressway ends at the Zabornia junction in Rabka Zdroj, to which a kilometer-long dual carriageway section DK47 was added to Chabówka and there it was incorporated into the existing dual carriageway Chabówka - Rdzawka. |
320 | The S7 section of Skomielna Biała - Radka Zdrój and a new section of the national road No. 47 of the main accelerated class (GP) from Rabka Zdrój to Chabówka was built by the Italian company Salini Impregilo from Milan. |
321 | The cost of the investment was about 615 million PLN. |
322 | The guarantee of the quality of the works will be valid for 10 years. |
323 | A fragment of the new Zakopianka, about 16.7 km long, including 15.8 km with parameters of an expressway, was divided into three implementation sections, each with a separate contractor: Lubien - Naprawa, Naprawa - Skomielna Biała and Skomielna Biała - Rabka Zdrój. |
324 | The first section to enter the tunnel is performed by the Polish-Ukrainian consortium of companies: IDS-BUD S.A. from Warsaw and ALTIS-HOLDING Corporation from Kiev, the tunnel section is performed by the Italian company Astaldi and the third by the Italian company Salini. |
325 | The total cost of these tasks is nearly 2.5 billion PLN. |
326 | The investment is co-financed by the European Union under the Operational Programme Infrastructure and Environment 2014-2020. |
327 | The amount of funding is over 1.3 billion PLN. |
328 | A total of 38 engineering structures (bridges, viaducts, flyovers) and a two-chamber tunnel with a length of 2.06 km are being built along this entire section. |
329 | According to the announcement of the road manager, still this year a 7.6-kilometre-long section Lubien - Repair with temporary inclusion in the old DK7 will be available, which drivers will bypass the tunnel construction. |
330 | The last section, Naprawa - Skomielna Biała, about 3 km long, will be driven in 2021, after completion of the construction of a two-chamber tunnel with a length of each line of about 2.06 km. |
331 | Our goal is a welfare state |
332 | He came to Szczecin to persuade to vote for Councillor Dariusz Matecki, a candidate to the Sejm from the Law and Justice list. |
333 | Ziobro also reminded about the children's trip and the thirteenth pension - and that a fourteenth pension is also planned. |
334 | Money shouldn't just go into the pockets of the chosen ones, who have good relations with the establishment and the authorities, but should evenly reach the whole society - said the politician. |

348 | Part of Sopotska Street in Nisko after the expansion |
349 | On Tuesday, September 24th, the extended Sopocka street in Nisko was officially opened. |
350 | The total value of this task amounted to one million 803 thousand zlotys, of which one million 26 thousand zlotys was financed from the FDS, while the remaining amount was an own contribution from the resources of the Niz˙ y Poviat and the Municipality and City of Nisko. |

356 | Facebook will hide the likes and dislikes counter for a test |
357 | As part of an experiment conducted for the first time in the world to improve the well-being of users, some of those who use Facebook will soon see no counter of likes, reactions and video displays under the posts of others. |
358 | Favorites will be hidden and visible only to the author of the post, and this change will be implemented in Australia following a similar test implemented on Instagram in July. |
359 | The new Facebook version initiated this Friday will also be launched in Australia. |
360 | Mia Garlick, Director of Facebook Privacy in Australia, said that the change is the result of a wellness survey and the opinions of mental health professionals indicating that the Flik Counter may encourage comparisons with others. |
361 | Eliminating this counter will make people focus on the quality of their interactions and on the quality of content, not on the number of likes and dislikes. |
362 | Garlick has assured that companies that base their Facebook operations will continue to receive the same indicators and observations to which they have had access so far. |
363 | She stated that it is too early to say whether the test will be extended to other countries, as was the case with Instagram when Australia, Canada, Brazil, New Zealand, Japan, Italy and Ireland were included. |
364 | As with Instagram, which belongs to Facebook, there is no indication of when the experiment will end and whether the change will be implemented permanently. |
365 | Commenting on the site of the world's experiment, Garlick said that Australia has a very active, technically familiar Facebook and Instagram users. |
366 | We believe that this is an incredible country that will provide us with authoritative feedback on whether or not a new experience is valuable to those using our services. |
367 | Częstochowa: Councillors want compensation for pilgrims from the curia |
368 | The Czestochowa curia has not yet commented on the councilors' appeal to the local metropolitan Archbishop Waclaw Depo to provide financial compensation for waste management during the pilgrimage season. |
369 | The town applies for 1 PLN from the pilgrim. |
370 | On Friday he spoke to the Metropolitan at a press conference attended by the leader of Spring Robert Biedroń, organized on Częstochowa's avenue of the Blessed Virgin Mary leading towards Jasna Góra, the vice-president of the local city council and a candidate to the Seym, Łukasz Kot. |
371 | The cat informed that the day before, the local SLD councillors had voted an appeal to Archbishop Wacław Depo to give the town one zloty from each pilgrim visiting Częstochowa - to support the work of municipal and municipal services, etc. |
372 | We accepted the appeal to Archbishop Depo to help the city, to help us clean up after the pilgrims, to prepare the city for the pilgrims. |
373 | They pointed out that, apart from financial issues, their proposal resulted from numerous objections raised by the residents as to the cleanliness of the routes the pilgrims travel on. |
374 | According to the press office of Jasna Gora, 834 thousand people participated in 200 national pilgrimages to this sanctuary last year. |
375 | About 124 thousand of the faithful came in 255 walking pilgrimages. |
376 | More than 8.8 thousand people came to Czestochowa on bicycle pilgrimages (133 groups) and 440 people (16 groups) on cross-country skiing pilgrimages. |
377 | Less than 20 people reached the sanctuary on horseback and more than 170 pilgrims from two groups - on skates. |
378 | According to a survey conducted by Pollster, in the elections to the Law and Justice (PiS) Sejm he would gain 45 percent of votes, KO 26 percent, Left 14 percent, PSL 7 percent, and Confederation 5 percent. |
379 | The leader, Edyta Lewandowska, clearly emphasized that only four committees have crossed the electoral threshold and would enter the Parliament. |
380 | TVP's viewers were also shown the division of parliamentary seats without considering the votes cast for the Confederation. |
381 | This would give PiS an independent government. |
382 | He also drew attention to the lack of reaction from right-wing journalists. |
383 | Małgorzata Motylow Vice-President of NIK |
384 | On Thursday, 26 September, the Speaker of the Sejm, Elżbieta Witek, handed Małgorzata Motylow the act of appointment to the position of Vice-President of the Supreme Chamber of Control as of 27 September 2019. |
385 | The motion in question was received by the Speaker of the Sejm on 24 September 2019. |
386 | Earlier that day, the motions for all these personnel decisions were positively assessed by the Parliamentary Committee on State Control, except that the vote on the opinion until further notice of Ewa Polkowska was held twice - in the first vote on the committee the same number of MPs was for and against. |
387 | The new vice president of NIK Małgorzata Motylow comes from Chełm Lubelski. |
388 | Brother sentenced to life imprisonment for the honor killing of social media star Qandeel Baloch |
389 | Qandeel Baloch, who became a star thanks to photos published on social networking sites, was strangled in July 2016. |
390 | Baloch, who gained fame by publishing bold selfs - polite by Western standards but considered provocative in a strongly misogynistic Pakistan - was strangled in July 2016. |
391 | Her brother Muhammad Waseem was arrested. |
392 | His lawyer Sardar Mehmood told AFP that a court in the western city of Multan found his client guilty and sentenced him to life imprisonment in a long-awaited sentence. |
393 | The murder of Baloch has been placed at the forefront of the world's news services and has resumed calls for action against the epidemic of so-called honor killings, in which victims - usually women - are killed for violating patriarchal social principles. |
394 | The murders are usually performed by a close relative. |
395 | Under Pakistani law, Qisas (bloody money) and Diyat (retaliation) can ask for forgiveness from their closest victims. |
396 | Three months after the murder of Baloch, the Parliament adopted new legislation introducing life imprisonment for honor killings. |
397 | However, whether a murder is considered an honorary offence is left to the discretion of the judge, which means that murderers can theoretically invoke another motive and be acquitted. |
398 | In the case of Baloch, her parents initially insisted that their son should not be shown any mercy. |
399 | However, crushed by the thought that they might lose him too, they changed their minds and declared that they wanted his acquittal. |
400 | The international outrage caused by the murder prompted the Pakistani state to take an unprecedented step and declare itself an heir with its parents, forcing it to move forward. |
401 | One of Baloch's most famous achievements is offering to strip in front of the Pakistani cricket team and wearing a dressed purple dress on Valentine's Day. |
402 | She has been criticized and threatened, but many people, including the young, saw her as a breakingthrough in a country where posing as a Kim Kardashian model figure can be considered a bold and political movement to empower women. |
403 | They invite you to the Lowland regatta |
404 | Tomorrow, on Saturday, September 28th, the second Independence Regatta will take place on the water reservoir in Podwolin in Nisko. |
405 | Start of the competition at 10.30. |
406 | The regatta will be held in Omega and Optimist classes in the match racing formula. |
407 | The organizer of the regatta is Yacht Club Nisko Sailing School. |
408 | The manager and accompanist of the team is Stanisław Seńko, director of GOK in Rachań. |
409 | The Group takes part in competitions, reviews, patriotic-religious celebrations, festivals and harvest festivals. |
410 | The band members sing for three voices. |
411 | The official meeting to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the band's founding, organized by the KGW in the Municipal Cultural Center in Rachań, was attended by Katarzyna Gucz - a member of the Tomaszów County Board in office, Teresa Semczyszyn - vice-president of the County Council, who is also the singer of the band, and Anna Romanowicz-Łagowska, director of Tomasz Zieliński's parliamentary office. |
412 | Anarchy doubles the number of displaced people from north-western Nigeria to 40 thousand: UNHCR |
413 | On Friday, the UN organization reported that the increasing violence has doubled the number of people displaced from northwestern Nigeria to about 40,000 over the past four months. |
414 | Babar Baloch, spokesperson for the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, said that the Islamist grouping Boko Haram, which has been leading the uprising in the north of the country for a decade, is not responsible for the recent attacks. |
415 | The increase in violence in the Nigerian states of Sokoto, Zamfar and Katsin observed over the last 10 months is rather the result of the actions of organized armed groups. |
416 | He informed about frequent reports of kidnappings, torture, extortion, murder and sexual assault by attackers who also destroy houses and steal property. |
417 | The army and police were sent to fight gangs of criminals in the region. |
418 | However, the army is being pulled away from the fighting with Boko Haram and a branch of the Islamic State in West Africa, which separated from its former grouping in 2016. |
419 | But they come with terrible stories. |
420 | Refugees mostly get to neighboring Niger. |
421 | In his statement, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees said that he expected more people to flee to Niger in the coming months with the deteriorating security situation, especially in the state of Sokoto-san. |
422 | A new trial date was set for a man accused of killing a woman and 2 children |
423 | A new trial date has been scheduled for a Guatemalan male accused of killing a Guatemalan resident of Iowa and her two children. |
424 | According to the files of the District Court in Polk County, 31-year-old Marvin Escobar-Orellana is accused of three first-degree murders under a false name that the authorities claim was originally given to the police: Marvin Esquivel-Lopez. |
425 | He did not plead guilty. |
426 | According to the police, he shot 29-year-old Flores-Rodriguez, her 11-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son deadly on July 16th at their home in Des Moines. |
427 | The court records show that the new date of the hearing, i.e. 27 January, will give the representatives of both parties more time to prepare. |
428 | U.S. Immigration and Customs officials claim that Escobar-Orellana is in the United States illegally and was deported twice before the shooting. |
429 | In 2010 he was sentenced for illegal entry to the USA. |
430 | Just three weeks before the final EU leaders' summit, fears are growing among the most important people in the country around the Prime Minister that he will not have enough time to make major concessions. |
431 | Boris Johnson faces the risk of a rebellion by the Cabinet to lower demands for brexit and reach a compromise agreement with the EU. |
432 | The Crown ministers expect EU decision-makers headed by German boss Angela Merkel to offer the criticized Tory leader a last-minute compromise in the form of a three-year time limit for the backstop mechanism. |
433 | We will never overcome the arithmetic in the House of Commons, which works against us. |
434 | The Prime Minister must now bend over and accept what he is able to receive. |
435 | Aggressiveness does not pay off: it is obvious that Cummings' plan burned to the ground. |
436 | We cannot fight battles on so many fronts. |
437 | The other cabinet minister undertook to tell Johnson to try to push through the agreement of former Prime Minister Theresa May if everything else fails. |
438 | There are many chances to vote for it, and everyone is very keen to end this topic. |
439 | If we are forced to extend the deadline, it is the end of Boris Johnson and the end of us all. |
440 | John Major accused Boris Johnson of not taking negotiations seriously. |
441 | However, we do not see him sitting in Brussels and working on it. |
442 | Instead, he wrestles with the bulls in Scotland, checks the eggs in Wales and argues with citizens on the main city streets - all in front of the world, as if the election campaign was already underway for good. |
443 | Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay is returning to Brussels today to have more discussions with Michel Barnier on the EU side. |
444 | They will be discussing a book on how the food and living zone works for the whole of Ireland. |
445 | A dog without a nose and leg conquers Instagram. |
446 | Perfectly imperfect |
447 | The cunnery was to be put to sleep. |
448 | However, this has been prevented. |
449 | The bitch was transported from Romania to Great Britain by Beacon Animal Rescue Centre. |
450 | The picture of the dog was published on Facebook. |
451 | Kate Comfort fell in love with an animal at first sight. |
452 | The woman has decided to take care of the bitch until someone else adopts her. |
453 | However, there was still no one to report. |
454 | Finally, the couple decided to adopt Bonnie. |
455 | Over time, Bonnie has become a social media star. |
456 | More than 14 thousand Internet users observe it on Instagram. |
457 | Lorraine Kelly: It was said that with a Glasgow accent I would never make a career in television |
458 | When I worked at the BBC Scotland as a search and checker specialist, the boss said I would never be successful on TV because of my accent in Glasgow. |
459 | I went to London to meet the entire TV-am team and watch the show before I took over from the Glasgow office. |
460 | I will never forget the interview with Bette Davis star conducted by Anne Diamond and Mike Morris that morning. |
461 | I did not believe that I was in the same room with a living legend. |
462 | I knew I wanted to stay here. |
463 | Before Kelly became a Scottish TV-am correspondent in 1984, she began her career as a reporter for a local newspaper in East Kibride, Scotland. |
464 | The 35th anniversary of her career will be celebrated with a special program during which she will recall her best remembered moments and interviews. |
465 | To be honest and authentic. |
466 | Prepare for the programs and be both interested and interesting. |
467 | I had no idea that many families of killed or wounded children were watching our show live from Dunblane the day after the terrible murder of sixteen children and their teacher. |
468 | One of the mothers, Pam Ross, whose 5-year-old daughter Joanna was murdered, asked me for a private meeting, during which we talked for hours at her house. |
469 | The whole meeting was held quietly, and Pam Ross and I have been friends since Joanna's funeral, in which I participated. |
470 | They have to deal with the pain because they don't know what happened to their beloved daughter, and in addition, they have to endure the most horrible comments of Internet trolls. |
471 | I am with them with all my heart. |
472 | The program to celebrate the 35th anniversary of Lorraine Kelly's work on television will begin at 8:30 a.m. on Monday, September 30 at ITV. |
473 | Zimbabwe: Chiwenga feared imprisonment |
474 | A senior civil servant claimed that Vice President Constantino Chiwenga rejected the offer to take over the office of President made by the late President Robert Mugabe at the height of the coup because he feared imprisonment to confirm the military takeover in November 2017. |
475 | However, a senior government official announced in the social media that Chiwenga did not reject the offer out of fear, but because he reviewed Mugabe's plan to use it to prove to world leaders and the African Union (AU) that he actually lost in the coup. |
476 | In a Twitter thread that confirmed that the 37-year-old ruler of Zimbabwe wanted to hand over power to Vice President Chiwenga and not to President Emmerson Mnangagwa, Jamwanda 2, who was confirmed by government officials as a senior government official in the Office of the President and the Council of Ministers, it was claimed that intensive negotiations were underway at the time. |
477 | Government officials claimed that Mugabe contacted Chiwenga through one of his envoys when he realized that power was getting out of hand. |
478 | The mediation between the military authorities and the deceased former president had, in the opinion of a senior government official, three stages. |
479 | The official claimed that among the participants of the negotiations was the spokesperson of President George Charamba, the then head of the Central Intelligence Organization Aaron Nheper and a clergyman representing the Roman Catholic Bishop Fidelis Mukonori. |
480 | The former head of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe, Gideon Gono, was another element since Mugabe sent him on a one-man mission to pass on the presidency's offer to Chiwenga, who was head of the Zimbabwe Defence Forces (SOZ). |
481 | A man who, after his death, was considered an icon of Africa even more than he was alive, tried in vain to get the AU to condemn military action, trying to get other African leaders to intervene. |
482 | The offer of the president, made by the deceased (Mugabe) to Chiwenga's then Chief of Defense Forces (SSO), was not a choice. |
483 | But there was also some political temptation with which the deceased wanted to reverse the situation in a completely non-diplomatic way. |
484 | It is enough to remember that the commanders declared that they did not and will not overthrow the constitutional order, which would be the reason for their conflict with the AU position on the subversion. |
485 | The deceased (Mugaba) hoped that the SSO (Chiwenga) would swallow the bait at that time, violently interrupting the leaders' claims that they had not overthrown the constitutional order. |
486 | The hope for the deceased (Mugabe) was that the AU, which, by the way, was still highly confused by the whole situation and the way it fit into its theoretical taxonomy of subversion, would have no choice but to describe it as a subversion and therefore the call for military intervention would be credible. |
487 | It was in such a spirit and with such a respectfulness that this offer was made. |
488 | Officials claimed that Mugabe made this move when he realized that the defense forces were no longer willing to protect him. |
489 | They said that Mugabe was forced to sign a letter of resignation after warning the strongman that he was risking lynching in Gaddafi's style. |
490 | The army chiefs told him that they would not return the rifles against the citizens if they moved to his Blue Roof residence. |
491 | The then SSO and commanders read the assumptions correctly. |
492 | The envoy (Gono) carrying this desperate message was made to understand - through a powerful metaphor - that isu tiri vemakwapa-makwapa (we belong to a camouflage sect, i.e., the army), we are not politicians or compete with each other on a political level, a senior government official claimed. |
493 | Mugabe tried to use the same strategy to again tempt Mnangaga to return from a short exile in South Africa so that they could talk about subversion and succession. |
494 | In addition to negotiations with the army, Mugabe also sought help in the region. |
495 | The people of South Africa, a key element in the process - not only because of their economic and regional power, but also because of the fact that the then president Jacob Zuma was president of Sadc - refused to intervene, but made it clear that if the army invades Mugabe's house, as it has repeatedly threatened in the background, South African troops will immediately appear in Harare. |
496 | The Chinese government's press office reported in the White Paper that the country's successes since the communists took power 70 years ago come down to party leadership. |
497 | China occupies a large area, has complex national conditions, but rarely see the difficulties of administration. |
498 | The document mentions that without a unified and strong leadership force, China will move towards division and disintegration, which will be disastrous for the world. |
499 | The Chinese authorities have long been using a hard-handed policy to solve problems, as in the case of the suppression of the pro-democratic protests in Beijing in 1989, on the grounds of the need to maintain stability in the country. |
500 | Strongly in power, President Xi Jinping, who on Tuesday will lead the celebration of the world's second-largest economy, has tightened the party's rule even further since he took office in late 2012 and issued sanctions against those who might challenge the government. |
501 | Xi also oversees the military modernization program, which has upset the region. |
502 | The Chinese do not have in their genes the conquest of other nations or domination over the world. |
503 | In modern times, China has been oppressed by the great powers, and wars and unrest have left a deep mark on it through the suffering it has suffered; China will never inflict on others the suffering it has suffered itself. |
504 | China is celebrating this anniversary in uncertain times for a country embroiled in a bitter trade war with the United States and facing challenges due to a slowing economy as well as anti-government protests in China-administered Hong Kong. |
505 | China is a mature economy with a full industrial system, a complete industrial chain, a wide market place and a strong economic growth rate. |
506 | China is confident that it is able to face up to the difficulties, turn the crisis into new opportunities and open a new world. |
507 | It was also added that the United States should look at China's development rationally, because China does not intend to question the position of the United States, nor do they want to replace the United States. |
508 | The United States cannot control China, and it is even less likely that it will halt its development. |
509 | Reducing and weakening other countries, and transferring domestic misunderstandings abroad, will not give the United States a strong position. |
510 | The world of Jacek Pałkiewicz: Dubai, the true face |
511 | The Dubai emirate is a place still searching for its own identity, torn between Bedouin tradition, religious Islamic radicalism and progressive extremism. |
512 | This trend-setting leader of global tourism awakens imagination and desires, clutching the vanity of wealthy snobby hotels and attracting fortune-seeking investors and traders with the status of a tax haven. |
513 | Websites infect the enthusiasm for this dream city, which is an exciting temple of luxury and a concentrated concentration of 21st century architecture in one. |
514 | The emirate, which was founded on the oil-rich sands, has become an Eden for those who love the market, five-star hotels, beautiful weather and swimming pools located hundreds of meters above the ground. |
515 | Many are delighted with the ubiquitous splendor here, appreciate the creative hyperactivity and hysterical pursuit of avant-garde. |
516 | And that at almost every step. |
517 | But there are also those who can look at Dubai critically, calling it a city without character. |
518 | Because here everything must be bigger and prettier than anywhere else in the world. |
519 | However, among the thicket of excesses and ostentatious superfluous excesses, there is something that is perhaps not very transparent in old Europe, but important for the quality of life. |
520 | In Wroclaw, Berlin or Madrid everyone feels at home. |
521 | And in Dubai, it certainly is not. |
522 | Running away from the world of magic, I ripped off its golden mask, revealing the other face of artificial paradise. |
523 | A face that is not spoken or written about. |
524 | I show the poverty of the Asians in contrast to the fairy-tale living conditions of the divine Dubai ethnic caste, the illiterate Bedouin grandchildren. |
525 | I venture into places of extreme poverty, for example the ghetto on the outskirts of the city, where there is an army of Asian workers in cruel conditions. |
526 | It was they who built the Manhattan Desert Heaven in one generation under slave conditions. |
527 | They came here, visited by the good earnings and the opportunity to provide a decent life for their families, and they found a nightmare. |
528 | This tourist will never see it, because it could blow up the myth of Dubai created over the years. |
529 | The increasing criticism of the international community makes the subject of cheap labour highly problematic for the Emir. |
530 | Mel C from the Spice Girls team forbade her home to talk about diets after her struggle with eating disorders |
531 | Melanie Chisholm from Spice Girls admitted that there is a ban on diets in her home after she herself had struggled with nutritional disorders, for years eating only fruit and vegetables. |
532 | The picture that shook the world |
533 | A Polish girl and an American documentary filmmaker gave the world testimony about the cruelty of war. |
534 | The legendary photo of Julien Bryan can be seen in the Museum of the Second World War in Gdansk. |
535 | On the tragic September days of 1939 he was in the Polish capital, he saw the drama of the bombed city and its inhabitants. |
536 | His account has been widely echoed in the West. |
537 | The President of Warsaw Stefan Starzyński first helped him, borrowed the car, but then asked him to leave immediately for his own safety. |
538 | Bryan wrote a farewell letter to his family in the USA, deposited it in the safe of the embassy and... He stayed. |
539 | For the next four weeks he tried to be wherever Warsawers were. |
540 | 400 planes and artillery attacked the city almost non-stop. |
541 | Bryan immortalized death, suffering and the struggle for survival in the ruins of the city. |
542 | Just before the capitulation, he and the embassy staff took the negatives overseas. |
543 | He did not stop talking about the crimes of Hitler. |
544 | His shocking chronicles were seen by President Eleonora Roosevelt. |
545 | Soon the USA started to prepare for war. |
546 | The trial before a jury against a former athlete accused of numerous rapes |
547 | A rape case against the former baseball player of the Delaware University team is pending before the jury, who is accused of numerous sexual assaults. |
548 | On Friday, after 10 days of giving testimony and hearing arguments, the members of the jury proceeded to settle the fate of 23-year-old Clay Conaway. |
549 | A woman over 21 claims that Conaway raped her when she went to his house in June 2018. |
550 | The event took place three weeks after the two of them made friends on the Bumble meetings page and the man sent the woman a picture of him presenting himself naked. |
551 | The woman is one of six accusing Conaway of sexual assault in 2013-2018. |
552 | According to the accusers, the hugging, to which the woman consented, turned into rape, which met with her opposition. |
553 | The defenders cite the woman's contradictory relations and memory gaps and claim that she probably regretted the intimate rapprochement. |
554 | Gold on two wheels: Polish bicycle for one million PLN |
555 | A gold-plated bicycle worth one million zlotys could be seen at the jubilee 10th edition of the Kielce International Bike Fair BIKE-EXPO. |
556 | It is an extraordinary vehicle printed on a 3D printer. |
557 | His constructor, 30-year-old Adam Zdanowicz, has just received an Oscar for him at the World Custom Bike Exhibition in Las Vegas. |
558 | An unusual specimen made a furore at the fair. - The bike is covered with gold chrome spray, underneath it is the highest quality silver. |
559 | This is an unusual coating made by my friend from Zory. |
560 | The footage shows strong pollution of popular tourist destinations |
561 | Sydney Bay, surrounded by the Opera House, Circular Quay Harbor, Luna Park and, of course, the famous Harbour Bridge makes a significant contribution of $21.9 billion, pumped into the Australian economy every year by tourists visiting Sydney. |
562 | However, there is an ugly truth hidden under the bridge. |
563 | The famous Sydney Bay is one of the most polluted waterways in the country, with a volume of pollution equivalent to the capacity of about 15 Olympic swimming pools each year. |
564 | These terrifying statistics make it one of our biggest tourist attractions and one of our most dirty waters. |
565 | However, the largest part that suffocates our shipping channels is plastic. |
566 | The area looks beautiful, but it is one of the most altered and polluted estuaries along our coast. |
567 | The CSIRO agency estimates that every hour about 1560 kg of plastic enters our waterways and most of it enters the bay through storm sewers. |
568 | Two-thirds of the pollution comes from the rainwater. |
569 | However, as with the iceberg, the problem with Sydney Bay is much more serious underwater, as 70% of the plastic entering the ocean goes to the bottom of the sea. |
570 | I think if more people knew what was underwater, they would simply be terrified. |
571 | It is overwhelming... More than half of what we find at the bottom is plastic nets. |
572 | The remaining 50% are things that are at least made of plastic. |
573 | When you look at the bay, it looks beautiful, and people can't believe that all this plastic and the rest of the garbage is being extracted just below the surface. |
574 | Jeremy Brown, co-founder and managing director of Ocean Protect, said there are ways that people - both locals and tourists - could help reduce the amount of plastic and debris entering our waterways. |
575 | We need to reduce the amount of plastic we use, better recover materials, and be more aware of what we drain in the wastewater that eventually goes into the oceans. |
576 | If we destroy the ocean, we will be destroyed because 50% of the oxygen we breathe in comes from the ocean. |
577 | It absorbs 30% of carbon dioxide and our food source. |
578 | However, we can clean up this bay and bring it back to its former glory, which is very simple. |
579 | If we kill our oceans, we will also kill ourselves. |
580 | The footage, funded by the TOMRA recycling company as part of its broader efforts to educate Australians about environmental protection and reducing the impact of beverage containers, which often end up in the environment, coincides with a study on the relationship between plastics and mental health, the results of which were published this month. |
