W piątym odcinku czwartego sezonu Opowieści arabskich Jan Natkański opowie o Maroku - kraju, który w świecie arabskim uznawany jest za daleki zachód – Maghreb al-Aqsa. Pierwszymi władcami Maroka byli Berberowie. Dopiero w XI wieku fala plemion z Półwyspu Arabskiego do Afryki Północnej rozpoczęła proces nie tylko islamizacji, ale też arabizacji.Wiek XIX przyniósł europejską rywalizację o Maroko i osłabienie władzy sułtana. W latach 30. XX wieku zaczęła się kształtować opozycja niepodległościowa, a w roku 1956 Maroko stało się suwerennym krajem. Niedługo po uzyskaniu niepodległości wybuchł trwający do dziś konflikt o Saharę Zachodnią.Zaprasza Agata Kasprolewicz.Gość: Jan NatkańskiRealizuje: Kris Wawrzak---------------------------------------------Raport o stanie świata to audycja, która istnieje dzięki naszym Patronom, dołącz się do zbiórki ➡️ https://patronite.pl/DariuszRosiakSubskrybuj newsletter Raportu o stanie świata ➡️ https://dariuszrosiak.substack.comKoszulki i kubki Raportu ➡️ https://patronite-sklep.pl/kolekcja/raport-o-stanie-swiata/ [Autopromocja]
If the Day of Judgment were held for Gaza alone—with no other case in history to be settled—it would still be a day of overwhelming terror and awe. We're now talking about over fifty thousand martyrs, hundreds of thousands injured, and millions of ongoing tragedies—starvation, displacement, grief—stories so painful they're almost impossible to bear. If each case took just one hour to be judged, how long would that Day last? One single case: the killer is brought to account. Then, all those who enabled him—those who helped, who made the bullet possible, who passed along the intel, who incited him with words, actions, or even a silent nod—are also brought forward. Then, what about those who stayed silent? Who walked away and gave up? Who chose their stomachs and appetites over boycotting the products of the killers of Gaza? Those who rarely brought Gaza, al-Aqsa and Palestine into their discourse, arguing that they "do not discuss politics"? Or those who tip toed around the topic, fearing for their followership, income or both? What if they, too, are called to answer? Then, what about those in power—Muslim and non-Muslim alike—who suppressed the truth and spread falsehood? Who silently celebrated the death of Gaza? Who punished those who dared to speak out, who tweeted, who raised a flag, who protested the massacre? What if they are brought forth as well? All of this for a single case of suffering in Gaza. So, what about every case of Gaza? What about every case of Palestine? What about every case of every living thing that has ever existed? That inevitable and fast approaching Day will be beyond imagination. “When the earth is shaken with its final quake, and it throws out its burdens, people will cry out, “What is happening to it?” On that Day, it will speak its stories—because your Lord will have commanded it. That Day, people will emerge in scattered groups to be shown their deeds. Whoever has done even an atom's weight of good will see it, and whoever has done even an atom's weight of evil will see it.” (Al-Qur'an, 99:1-8) The next phase.. In light of the extreme campaign of brutality in Gaza —and the near-total global abandonment of its victims—a heavy moral debt has been accumulated. Life will simply never return to how it once was before this tragedy. That chapter is closed. How Allah will settle this debt is known only to Him. But one thing appears certain: it will reach the homes of nearly every human being in the coming period. Believers must realise that what has taken place in Gaza will not be brushed aside or forgotten in Allah's records. These events were extreme in every sense of the word - in savagery, in hypocrisy, in arrogance, and in the shameful global neglect. Even if every weapon were to fall silent today, enough has already happened to warrant terrifying days ahead. It's time to rise above the noise and distractions of daily life, to brace our īmān for the phase to come—by turning back to Allah in repentance, by tightening our grip on His dīn, and – equally important - by pushing ourselves to the maximum in aid of Gaza's cause. This isn't about pessimism—not in the slightest, as the outcome always favours the righteous. But based on all what has now occurred, and based on what we know of Allah's fixed laws in the universe, the road to that outcome is going to be filled with real difficulty in the coming phase. So, register stances of piety and activism whilst you still can, stances of real reformation and change, both within yourself and your circles, even the very smallest of them at your local Masjid, at home, or even smaller. Perhaps, through our desperate efforts, Allah may spare us from what He has prepared for a world that watched and did nothing. “So when they forgot what they had been reminded of, We rescued those who forbade evil, and seized the wrongdoers with a severe punishment for their rebelliousness.” [Al-Qur'an 7:165] Ali Hammuda From https://www.youtube.com/@Ali.Hammuda/community Thank you for tuning in Peace and love always, Amber

Gaza has an incredibly young population, with pre-war estimates suggesting around half of those living in the territory are under 18, according to health ministry figures. When the conflict began in October 2023, Israeli authorities told civilians to move to a 'humanitarian zone' to ensure their safety. But, BBC analysis shows that this area was targeted almost 100 times in an eight-month period last year - the Israel Defence Forces say Hamas fighters were operating there. Now, a new BBC documentary filmed in the zone shows what civilian life in the midst of war is really like, as three children fight to survive.Jonny Dymond is joined by Jamie Roberts, a co-director of the film. He introduces us to Zakaria, an 11-year-old living alone at one of Gaza's few functioning hospitals, al-Aqsa. Listeners in the UK can see the full documentary, Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone, on BBC iPlayer.The Global Story brings you trusted insights from BBC journalists worldwide.

Hamas called its October 7 terrorist attack “Operation al Aqsa Flood,” suggesting a religious – rather than nationalistic – motive.The al Aqsa compound, the third holiest site in Islam, sits atop the ruins of both the ancient temples of the Jews. The first was built by King Solomon and was destroyed by the Babylonians in 586 BCE. The second was built in the sixth century BCE and stood for nearly 600 years before it was destroyed by the Roman Empire in 70 CE.But before there were mosques or temples in Judea there was something else: The City of David which, over recent years, archaeologists have been unearthing.To discuss what this dig is revealing about the past, and the impact these revelations might have on modern foreign policy, host Cliff May is joined by Ze'ev Orenstein, Director of International Affairs for the City of David Foundation in Jerusalem.

A chronicle of the events of 1967. How the Israeli State came to directly control Masjid al-Aqsa, the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Also first hand narratives of what it means to be living under Occupation in different regions of Palestine.
We explore the series of strategic steps taken by Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) in the direction of Bayt al-Maqdis which then formed the foundation for the rapid Muslim liberation of Al-Shaam, and placed them at the gates of Masjid al-Aqsa.
Who has the longest connection to the Holy Land? Amidst contesting claims often used to justify crimes, we enumerate the significance of Masjid al-Aqsa as the second mosque to be established on earth, and how this forges a rock solid connection between Islam and Bayt al-Maqdis from time immemorial.
La guerre que livre Israël contre le Hamas pourrait-elle s'avérer contre-productive ? Est-il seulement possible d'éradiquer l'organisation qui a mené les attaques sanglantes du 7 octobre ? Jacques Baud, auteur de plusieurs livres sur la guerre en Ukraine, vient tout juste de publier un nouvel ouvrage sur le conflit israélo-palestinien : Opération le déluge d'al-Aqsa : 75 ans d'une guerre entre Israël et la Palestine. À l'opposé de ce qu'il qualifie de narratif dominant, l'ancien espion suisse est très critique de la campagne militaire israélienne à Gaza, en contravention avec les principes du droit international. Les gains tactiques enregistrés par Tsahal sur le terrain masquent, selon Baud, les périls stratégiques qui s'annoncent pour Israël. « En chassant des terroristes, ils créent du terrorisme. » Pour notre invité, la résistance palestinienne à l'occupation explique l'attaque du 7 octobre et doit être vue comme une opération militaire davantage que terroriste. Une lecture des événements qui ne fera certainement pas l'unanimité ! Jacques Baud a travaillé à l'OTAN et a été chef de la doctrine des opérations de maintien de la paix aux Nations Unies.Pour de l'information concernant l'utilisation de vos données personnelles - https://omnystudio.com/policies/listener/fr
Settler-colonialist projects not only take over land and remove the existing inhabitants. If they want to overcome their victims, take what was theirs and get away with the crime, they also seek to control the language used to talk about what's happening. In this episode, we decode the most common names used to refer to Masjid al-Aqsa and Palestine, and make the case for reviving the usage of the best terms and names for the Blessed Land as was utilised by our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
There's little for Palestinians to celebrate at the start of Ramadan as fighting continues in Gaza and Israel enforces tight security around al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem.

Why will Ramadan bring about jihad - and not just in the Middle East? Terrorists want us to be afraid, be very afraid. Is there reason to be? Check out this episode of the Terrorist Therapist podcast, and you decide. Ramadan is the holiest month in the Islamic calendar, becauseit is believed that this was when Allah revealed the Koran to Muhammad. It's the time Muslims pray, fast and do good deeds.According to the Hadith (ascribed to Muhammad), the reward in the afterlife for good deeds of spiritual significance are magnifiedduring Ramadan. Now, you may not think the killing of those who terrorists call ‘infidels', like Hamas' October 7 savage rampage, is a ‘good deed', there are some who do. You will hear how Israelis and Palestinians are ‘waiting for the storm' during Ramadan and how the holy site in Jerusalem, called the Temple Mount by Israelis, and called the al-Aqsa mosque by Islamists - plays a key role. You'll also hear about the Houthis, who have already begun their Red Sea terror campaign and plan worse for Ramadan. We'll also look at what the Pro-Palestinian 'terrorists' have been doing - from destroying an historic painting of Lord Balfour at Cambridge University, to their mob protest outside the opening of Amsterdam's National Holocaust Museum to causing chaos at the Oscars in Hollywood. Terrorists don't believe anything is off-limits, especially when magnified rewards in the afterlife are at stake….

Recently, just before the month of Ramadan, some members of the Israeli cabinet called to limit access of Muslim worshippers to the Temple Mount, where the al-Aqsa Mosque is located. As the third most holy site for Muslims worldwide, any decision to restrict access to al-Aqsa has the potential to ignite violence. In parallel, it could also damage relations with Qatar and Egypt, in their efforts to help reach a hostage deal with Hamas. In this show, INSS researcher Adi Kantor hosts two experts in the field: Prof. Mohammed Wattad, a visiting senior researcher at INSS and the dean of the Law School at Zefat Academic College and Brig. Gen. (ret.) Dr. Meir Elran, a senior researcher and director of the Domestic Research Cluster at INSS. Together they discuss the religious, cultural, and social meanings of Ramadan for the Muslim community, as well as the national security implications of the proposed limitations at the Temple Mount.
Als Joe Biden gelijk krijgt, begint volgende week een gevechtspauze van zes weken tussen Israël en Hamas. Veertig gijzelaars, vrouwen, jongeren, bejaarden en zieken, worden uitgeleverd, in ruil voor 300 Palestijnse gevangenen. Ruim vóór de ramadan, door beide kanten gezien als een logische periode om de wapens neer te leggen. Het is goed nieuws, maar vooralsnog verre van een oplossing. Beide partijen verpersoonlijken de oorlog enorm. Israël maakt jacht op Hamasleider en het brein achter 7 oktober, Yehija Sinwar, die waarschijnlijk ergens in het honderden kilometers lange tunnelcomplex in zuid-Gaza zit, afgeschermd door een schild van gijzelaars. De kans om hem, dood of levend, op te pikken is gering, en de vraag is wat het zou uitmaken. Niet veel, denken westerse strategische experts. Heel veel, denken de Israëliërs, het zou een doodklap voor Hamas zijn. Het is een belangrijke reden waarom Israël vasthoudt aan een offensief in Rafah, tot ergernis van Amerika en andere bondgenoten. Voor Hamas is het een argument om gijzelaars vast te houden. Hamas eist dat de vrijgelaten Palestijnse gevangenen niet alleen vrouwen en teenagers zijn, maar ook prominente persoonlijkheden die veroordeeld zijn wegens zware misdaden en dus in Israëlische ogen terroristen zijn. Om die vrij te laten is voor de Israëliërs een gruwelijk offer, terwijl ze tegelijkertijd vinden dat geen moeite te groot is om de gijzelaars vrij te krijgen. Het is een duivels dilemma. Metafoor is Marwan Barghouti, bijgenaamd de Palestijnse Mandela. Hij zit al ruim twintig jaar in de gevangenis wegens massamoord, als oprichter van de al-Aqsa brigades, die reeksen aanslagen op bussen, hotels en restaurants hebben uitgevoerd. Maar hij erkent Israël, spreekt vloeiend Hebreeuws en Engels, heeft inmiddels gestudeerd, is voor de tweestaten-oplossing en wordt zowel op de Westelijke Jordaanoever als in Gaza de hemel in geprezen. Ook het corrupte, disfunctionele Fatach en het moorddadige, dictatoriale Hamas dragen hem op handen. Hij zou onmiddellijk als leider van de beide delen van Palestina worden erkend. Kreten als ‘from the river to the sea' zul je van hem niet horen – integendeel. Koele, westerse realpolitik zou zeggen: laat Barghouti de macht overnemen op de Westbank en in Gaza, zodat er een raamwerk ontstaat voor serieuze onderhandelingen met Israël. Dat marginaliseert Hamas en roverhoofdman Sinwar. Maar de Levant is niet zo van de realpolitik. Die is meer van temperament, monsters en wraak. Extra reden om te hopen dat de gevechtspauze doorgaat en stand houdt. Wil je meer van Bernard Hammelburg? Hier vind je al zijn bijdragenSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been nearly a hundred days since Hamas' deadly attack on Israel, which prompted Israel's ongoing bombardment of Gaza. Israel says it aims to destroy Hamas.By Palestinian officials' tally - more than 23,000 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza and about one in every 40 people there have been wounded in just three months. Israel's military is now pushing deeper into central Gaza. The World Health Organization says the most important hospital there is al-Aqsa Hospital.American pediatrician Seema Jilani, spent two weeks working at the al-Aqsa hospital there. She recorded voice memos about what she saw and talks to NPR's Ari Shapiro about the experience.Email us at considerthis@npr.org
It's Tuesday, December 26th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Ugandan Christians jailed for evangelism Morning Star News reports that two Christians were jailed for evangelizing in eastern Uganda, Africa. After three days of evangelism in a higher concentration-Muslim area in the city of Soroti, Joseph Omadi and Isaac Napakol were chased by a mob, and then arrested by police. At issue is Uganda's penal code act which criminalizes “writing or uttering words with the intent to wound religious feelings.” The language is imprecise and may be used to violate freedom of speech in the country. U.S. retaliates in Iraq after three US troops wounded in attack After three U.S. service men were wounded in a drone attack in northern Iraq, America retaliated with three targeted attacks on terrorist facilities in Iraq Monday, reports Reuters. The facilities are run by Iranian-backed militia, Kataib Hezbollah, and affiliated groups. Gaza Hospital announces 209 injured, 131 dead on Christmas The Israeli-Hamas War continued on Christmas Day. Doctors without Borders reported that a Gaza Strip-area hospital, al Aqsa hospital, admitted 209 injured and 131 dead. USA Today quotes Bethlehem Mayor Hana Haniyeh who said, “Our message every year on Christmas is one of peace and love, but this year it's a message of sadness, grief and anger in front of the international community with what is happening and going on in the Gaza Strip.” And the Roman Catholic Pope Francis took the opportunity to express his grief over what he called the “abominable attack” of Hamas on October 7. He called for the release of hostages and an end to Israel's military campaign in Gaza. King Charles' Christmas message King Charles III brought a Christmas message yesterday — in the tradition of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II. He spoke of Christ exemplifying love for neighbors, offering shelter to others, and stressed the importance of protecting the Earth and “our natural world” including animals. Listen. KING CHARLES III: “Service to others is but one way of honoring the whole of creation, which, after all, is a manifestation of the Divine. This is a belief shared by all religions. To care for this creation is a responsibility owned by people of all faiths and of none. We care for the Earth, for the sake of our children's children. “During my lifetime, I've been so pleased to see a growing awareness of how we must protect the Earth and our natural world as the one home which we all share. I find great inspiration now from the way so many people recognize this, as does the Christmas story, which tells us that angels brought the message of hope first to shepherds. These were people who lived simply amongst others of God's creatures. Those close to nature were privileged that night.” (You can see the transcript here) His great-grandfather, George V, began the tradition of the Christmas Message to the commonwealth back in the 1930s. Queen Elizabeth II carried on the tradition from the time of her coronation in 1952. While she mentioned the words of Jesus as the “bedrock” of her faith, the messages typically have not reflected the real reason why Jesus came. Matthew 1:21 says, “You shall call His name Jesus, for He shall save His people from their sins.” 1 John 3:8b explains that Christ came to destroy the works of the devil, and, as Hebrews 2:14 notes, to destroy the one who has the power of death, that is the devil. In addition, Mark 10:45 says Christ came to give His life as a ransom for many and Luke 4:18-19 explains that He came to proclaim good news to the poor, to proclaim liberty to the captives, the recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, and to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor. Contrast between Christmas messages of Biden and Trump President Joe Biden took to social media with a written Christmas message. He wrote “take a few moments of quiet reflection and find that stillness that's at the center of the Christmas story. May you find peace in this silent night. And warmth from those surrounding you.” Former President Donald Trump was far more explicit in his Christmas message to the nation, reports Newsweek. Listen. TRUMP: “More than 2,000 years ago God sent His only begotten Son to be with us. An angel announced the birth of our Lord and Savior to humble shepherds. He said, ‘I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all of the people. Today, in the town of David, a Savior has been born to you. He is the Messiah, the Lord. You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.' At Christmas, we thank God for sending us His Son to bring peace to our souls and joy to the world.” Home mortgage rates dropped According to Freddie Mac's Primary Mortgage Market Survey, home mortgage rates are down again — lowered this week to 6.67% down from 6.95% last week. That's down from 7.79% in October. Prices for homes remain high in the U.S. The inventory of homes on the market is 34% below where it was before the pandemic. Existing home sales in November registered 7.3% lower than November of 2022. The median sales price was $387,600 — 4% higher than a year ago. Focus on Christ and need for salvation And finally, from all of us at Generations and The Worldview newscast team, we wish you a blessed Christmas season, always remembering and rejoicing in the coming of Jesus Christ, and our need for His salvation.

The initial sanctions relief was reportedly issued in July, months before the unprecedented massacre of 1,200 civilians in Israel by the Iran proxy terrorist group Hamas on October 7. That mass killing – in which Hamas slaughtered children as young as infants, extensively tortured victims and desecrated corpses on camera, and took about 250 hostages – has increased pressure on the Biden administration to end sanctions relief programs that unfreeze money for Iran, allowing the government to use the unfrozen funds on legitimate needs and freeing up other funding to share with terrorist organizations such as Hamas. According to the original report, the money represents payments made by the government of Iraq to Iran in exchange for electricity services. “The Trump administration first allowed Iraq to import electricity and gas from Iran, but only on the condition that the payments were kept in an escrow account in Baghdad,” the Free Beacon explained. “The Biden administration continued to issue that waiver, and then broadened it in July so that Iraq could move more than $10 billion outside the country, enabling Tehran to draw on the funds for its budget and humanitarian needs.” The Iranian site Tasnim is sanctioned by the U.S. government for its close ties to the Iranian Islamist dictatorship. It was founded by members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), a U.S.-designated terrorist organization and a formal arm of the Iranian military, so it serves as an informal mouthpiece for the Iranian regime. The October 7 Hamas attack, which the terrorists branded the “al-Aqsa flood,” has renewed calls for the Biden administration to stop its policy of sanctions relief for Iran. Iran is the world’s foremost state sponsor of terrorism and pours hundreds of millions of dollars a year into jihadist organizations threatening Israel. According to the U.S. State Department, Hamas itself receives about $100 million a year from the Iranian government. The Shiite terrorist group Hezbollah, based in Lebanon and vocally threatening attacks on Israel regularly, receives about $700 million a year from Iran. Despite the overwhelming evidence of coordination between Iran and groups such as Hamas, according to the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies (FDD), the Biden administration has granted Iran over $50 billion in sanctions relief. A month before the Israel attacks, Biden approved an agreement that gifted Iran $6 billion in sanctions relief in a single spell. In exchange for the $6 billion, which had been frozen in South Korean banks and which Washington allowed to be transferred to Iran-friendly Qatar, Iran freed five Americans it had been holding hostage in its political prisons. In October, shortly after the Hamas attack, the Biden administration “temporarily” lifted all oil and gas sanctions on socialist Venezuela, in response to dictator Nicolás Maduro’s short-lived promise to allow a free and fair presidential election. Iran and Venezuela are close allies; Iran refines a significant percentage of its own crude in Venezuela and has helped Venezuela refurbish its dilapidated oil facilities. The two countries recently signed an agreement with the Syrian dictatorship to jointly build a new refining facility. https://www.foxnews.com/world/nepal-bans-tiktok-disrupting-social-harmony Nepal bans TikTok for 'disrupting social harmony' Nepal’s government decided to ban the popular social media app TikTok on Monday, saying it was disrupting "social harmony" in the country. The announcement was made following a Cabinet meeting. Foreign Minister Narayan Prakash Saud said the app would be banned immediately. "The government has decided to ban TikTok as it was necessary to regulate the use of the social media platform that was disrupting social harmony, goodwill and flow of indecent materials," Saud said. He said that to make social media platforms accountable, the government has asked the companies to register and open a liaison office in Nepal, pay taxes and abide by the country's laws and regulations. It wasn't clear what triggered the ban or if TikTok had refused to comply with Nepal's requests. The company did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment. TikTok, owned by China’s ByteDance, has faced scrutiny in a number of countries because of concerns that Beijing could use the app to harvest user data or advance its interests. Countries including the United States, Britain and New Zealand have banned the app on government phones despite TikTok repeatedly denying that it has ever shared data with the Chinese government and would not do so if asked. Nepal has banned all pornographic sites in 2018. https://thepostmillennial.com/oregon-voters-want-to-walk-back-legalization-of-hard-drugs?utm_campaign=64487#google_vignette Oregon voters want to walk-back legalization of hard drugs In 2020, voters in Oregon passed Measure 110, which decriminalized the possession of certain drugs in small quantities for personal use and shuffled revenue from cannabis taxes to resources aimed at helping addicts. Since it went into effect the following year, crime and substance use has not gone down as intended, and as a result, residents are calling for a reintroduction of criminal penalties for users. A poll conducted by DHM Research earlier this year revealed that more than 60 percent of Oregonians want to see the decriminalization aspect of Measure 110 repealed, though support for the use of cannabis taxes to fund treatment programs has maintained popularity. According to the poll, 51 percent of those surveyed said they believed Measure 110 has been bad for Oregon. Of those, 33 percent deemed it "very bad." Over 60 percent said drug addiction, homelessness, and crime had become worse in the time since it was adopted. Rural voters who identified as Republicans were more likely than their Democratic urban neighbors to believe that the policy has had a negative impact on the state, though a sizable proportion of every demographic said as much. The poll, conducted via online survey among 500 Oregon voters between April 24 and 30, also found that drug addiction and mental health were viewed as more likely root causes of homelessness than access to affordable housing. As the Wall Street Journal reports, law enforcement officers across the state have found that contrary to what was expected, doing away with the threat of jail time has not resulted in more addicts seeking help. Since 2021, while 6,000 tickets have been issued for drug possession, only 92 people have gotten in touch with the helpline to complete an assessment that would connect them with the necessary assistance. Those who fail to call are supposed to receive a $100 fine, however that is hardly ever enforced. Overdoses have also continued to rise, jumping 23 percent between May 2021-2022 and May 2022-2023 to 1,500 statewide. https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/14/sport/adam-johnson-police-arrest-spt-intl/index.html Man arrested on suspicion of manslaughter over death of ice hockey player Adam Johnson, police say A man has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter following the death of ice hockey player Adam Johnson last month, South Yorkshire Police said in a statement on Tuesday. Johnson died after sustaining a cut to the neck while playing for the Nottingham Panthers against the Sheffield Steelers in England on October 28. A Sheffield coroner’s report found that the 29-year-old “sustained an incised wound to the neck caused by the skate of another player” and later died in hospital as a result of the injury. “Our investigation launched immediately following this tragedy and we have been carrying out extensive enquiries ever since to piece together the events which led to the loss of Adam in these unprecedented circumstances,” detective chief superintendent Becs Horsfall said in a police statement. “We have been speaking to highly specialised experts in their field to assist in our enquiries and continue to work closely with the health and safety department at Sheffield City Council, which is supporting our ongoing investigation.” The police statement added that the man arrested remains in custody. Following Johnson’s death, which the Panthers described in a statement on October 29 as a “freak accident,” there has been increased focus on player safety in ice hockey, particularly on whether protective neck guards should be more widely worn. “Adam’s death has sent shockwaves through many communities, from our local residents here in Sheffield to ice hockey fans across the world,” Horsfall said. Born in Hibbing, Minnesota, Johnson started his professional career in the American Hockey League before progressing to the National Hockey League (NHL). He featured in 13 games over two years for the Pittsburgh Penguins and also played in Sweden and Germany before joining the Panthers for the 2023-24 season. In an online obituary, Johnson’s family remembered him as a “thoughtful, patient and genuinely authentic” person who “took pleasure in the small, everyday things.” Members of the ice hockey community across the world have paid tribute to the forward, including in the city of Nottingham, where fans have laid flowers outside the Motorpoint Arena. Police said on Tuesday that officers are supporting Johnson’s family while the investigation into his death remains ongoing.

Nepal has banned all pornographic sites in 2018. https://thepostmillennial.com/oregon-voters-want-to-walk-back-legalization-of-hard-drugs?utm_campaign=64487#google_vignette Oregon voters want to walk-back legalization of hard drugs In 2020, voters in Oregon passed Measure 110, which decriminalized the possession of certain drugs in small quantities for personal use and shuffled revenue from cannabis taxes to resources aimed at helping addicts. Since it went into effect the following year, crime and substance use has not gone down as intended, and as a result, residents are calling for a reintroduction of criminal penalties for users. A poll conducted by DHM Research earlier this year revealed that more than 60 percent of Oregonians want to see the decriminalization aspect of Measure 110 repealed, though support for the use of cannabis taxes to fund treatment programs has maintained popularity. According to the poll, 51 percent of those surveyed said they believed Measure 110 has been bad for Oregon. Of those, 33 percent deemed it "very bad." Over 60 percent said drug addiction, homelessness, and crime had become worse in the time since it was adopted. Rural voters who identified as Republicans were more likely than their Democratic urban neighbors to believe that the policy has had a negative impact on the state, though a sizable proportion of every demographic said as much. The poll, conducted via online survey among 500 Oregon voters between April 24 and 30, also found that drug addiction and mental health were viewed as more likely root causes of homelessness than access to affordable housing. As the Wall Street Journal reports, law enforcement officers across the state have found that contrary to what was expected, doing away with the threat of jail time has not resulted in more addicts seeking help. Since 2021, while 6,000 tickets have been issued for drug possession, only 92 people have gotten in touch with the helpline to complete an assessment that would connect them with the necessary assistance. Those who fail to call are supposed to receive a $100 fine, however that is hardly ever enforced. Overdoses have also continued to rise, jumping 23 percent between May 2021-2022 and May 2022-2023 to 1,500 statewide. https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/14/sport/adam-johnson-police-arrest-spt-intl/index.html Man arrested on suspicion of manslaughter over death of ice hockey player Adam Johnson, police say A man has been arrested on suspicion of manslaughter following the death of ice hockey player Adam Johnson last month, South Yorkshire Police said in a statement on Tuesday. Johnson died after sustaining a cut to the neck while playing for the Nottingham Panthers against the Sheffield Steelers in England on October 28. A Sheffield coroner’s report found that the 29-year-old “sustained an incised wound to the neck caused by the skate of another player” and later died in hospital as a result of the injury. “Our investigation launched immediately following this tragedy and we have been carrying out extensive enquiries ever since to piece together the events which led to the loss of Adam in these unprecedented circumstances,” detective chief superintendent Becs Horsfall said in a police statement. “We have been speaking to highly specialised experts in their field to assist in our enquiries and continue to work closely with the health and safety department at Sheffield City Council, which is supporting our ongoing investigation.” The police statement added that the man arrested remains in custody. Following Johnson’s death, which the Panthers described in a statement on October 29 as a “freak accident,” there has been increased focus on player safety in ice hockey, particularly on whether protective neck guards should be more widely worn. “Adam’s death has sent shockwaves through many communities, from our local residents here in Sheffield to ice hockey fans across the world,” Horsfall said. Born in Hibbing, Minnesota, Johnson started his professional career in the American Hockey League before progressing to the National Hockey League (NHL). He featured in 13 games over two years for the Pittsburgh Penguins and also played in Sweden and Germany before joining the Panthers for the 2023-24 season. In an online obituary, Johnson’s family remembered him as a “thoughtful, patient and genuinely authentic” person who “took pleasure in the small, everyday things.” Members of the ice hockey community across the world have paid tribute to the forward, including in the city of Nottingham, where fans have laid flowers outside the Motorpoint Arena. Police said on Tuesday that officers are supporting Johnson’s family while the investigation into his death remains ongoing.
Virtues of Masjid AlAqsa and History of Aqsa and Special Dua
The importance and significance in Islamic tradition of these sanctified and holy places is discussed here. The speaker relates the hadiths on Masjid al-Aqsa, Jerusalem, Damascus and Sham highlighting the basis for their importance from a textual and historical perspectives.
Samedi 7 octobre, quelque 5.000 roquettes tirées depuis la bande de Gaza se sont abattues sur le territoire de l'État hébreu, alors que s'infiltraient par bateaux, motos et parachutes un nombre indéterminé de combattants des Brigades Al-Qassam, la branche armée du Hamas. D'une ampleur inédite, l'opération Déluge d'al-Aqsa a surpris Israël, qui a répliqué le jour même en lançant l'offensive Glaives de fer sur Gaza.L'offensive a été condamnée par de nombreux pays à travers le monde, mais réveille les tensions du Proche-Orient à l'Occident. Applaudie par l'Iran, dont on soupçonne qu'elle apporte une aide active au Hamas, elle bouleverse les tentatives de normalisation des relations entre Israël et certains de ses voisins, que ce soient les accords d'Abraham (les traités de paix entre Israël et les Émirats arabes unis d'une part et entre Israël et Bahreïn d'autre part), ou le rapprochement avec l'Arabie saoudite. Et si pour l'instant, le peuple israélien fait bloc, quelques voix s'élèvent, critiques envers le gouvernement de Benyamin Nétanyahou.Le monde devant soi est un podcast hebdomadaire d'actualité internationale présenté par Christophe Carron, avec Jean-Marie Colombani, directeur de la publication de Slate.fr, et Alain Frachon, éditorialiste au Monde spécialisé dans les questions internationales.Direction et production éditoriale: Christophe CarronPrise de son et montage: Nina ParejaMixage: Victor BenhamouPrésentation: Christophe CarronMusique: «Sinister», d'Anno Domini BeatsSi vous aimez Le monde devant soi, pensez à l'exprimer en nous donnant la note maximale sur votre plateforme de podcast préférée, en en parlant autour de vous et en laissant vos commentaires sur les réseaux sociaux.Suivez Slate Podcasts sur Facebook et Instagram.
In a live Zoom event in conjunction with the American Museum of Tort Law, Ralph welcomes safety expert, Russell Kendzior, who runs the National Floor Safety Institute to discuss where, why, and how slip-and-falls happen, how to prevent them, the legitimacy of slip-and-fall lawsuits, and the role of the Consumer Product Safety Commission for a phenomenon that for older adults every year causes over 36,000 deaths and $50 billion in medical costs.Russell Kendzior is the President of Traction Experts, Inc. and founder of the National Floor Safety Institute. Mr. Kendzior is internationally recognized as the leading expert in slip and fall accident prevention and has been retained in more than 1,000 slip, trip, and fall lawsuits. He hosts the podcast The Safety Matters Show, and he is the author of several books, including Falls Aren't Funny: America's Multi-Billion Dollar Slip-And-Fall Crisis.This concept of simply testing to an internationally-recognized consensus standard and labeling the product is really what we're asking the government to do. We're not demanding any level of performance, but simply tell the consumer.Russell KendziorYou can participate in the public review process— the process whereby commissioners are asking members of the public for comments… It's important that the people of our country have a voice, and that they be represented, and that the safety of these products that are contributing to six million hospital emergency room visits a year need to be better managed.Russell KendziorWe should emphasize that all these situations [involving slips, trips, and falls] in the court of law are under tort law… It's good to talk about them as torts, because people often don't recognize how important tort law is to protect them, to help compensate them, to disclose to the larger audience the hazards for their own protection, and to engage in prevention.Ralph NaderIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantis1. In a major blow to Governor Greg Abbott, the Texas House of Representatives voted 86-52 in favor of an amendment to bar state funds from being used for private school vouchers, according to KXAN. This was achieved through a coalition of Democrats and rural Republicans in the Lone Star State, per NBC.2. The Washington Post reports that greater numbers of assisted-living facilities are rejecting Medicaid and evicting seniors from their homes. One particularly harrowing story involves Shirley Holtz, a 91 year old with mobility issues and dementia who was evicted from her hospice care because the facility decided to refuse Medicaid payments.3. In a statement responding to the ProPublica report on undisclosed gifts received by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin stressed that “Supreme Court Justices must be held to an enforceable code of conduct, just like every other federal judge. The ProPublica report is a call to action, and the Senate Judiciary Committee will act.” However, the Judiciary Committee has been hamstrung by Democratic absences, particularly that of California Senator Dianne Feinstein, who has missed nearly 60 votes since February, according to The San Francisco Chronice.4. Barak Ravid reports that the U.S. has blocked the release of a planned United Nations Security Council statement decrying the Israeli police raid at the al-Aqsa mosque, one of the holiest sites in Islam, during Ramadan.5. More Perfect Union has issued a statement saying “Months after 440 Planned Parenthood nurses and staff in five Midwest states voted to unionize, management has fired 2 members of the union's bargaining team and issued ‘final written warnings' to all 11 other bargaining team members threatening immediate termination.”6. From Truthout, Rep. Pramila Jayapal has filed an official constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United. A constitutional amendment is currently the only means available for reversing this catastrophic decision.7. In a video obtained by Gothamist, NYPD officers arresting a man wearing a Black Lives Matter sticker on his bike helmet were recorded bragging about “milking” overtime, referred to a female arrestee a "liberal [c word]," and joked about committing the arrestee to a mental hospital. This comes as Mayor Eric Adams announced that NYPD officers who work for five years will now make approximately $50K more per year than teachers with the same amount of time, an overall increase of $5.5 billion to the most expensive police department in the country, according to CBS.8. Robert Costa of CBS reports that former Rep. Dennis Kucinich is advising Robert F Kennedy Jr. on his presidential run. Costa went on to say that Kucinich could be the campaign manager or a top political adviser, and that Kucinich has urged Kennedy to focus more on the environment than his signature anti-vaccine message.9. Kansas Public Media KCUR reports that Republicans in that state overrode the Democratic Governor's veto and authorized genital inspections on minors in order for children to play sports. Somehow, the party advocating for adults to inspect children's genitals is calling the other party “groomers” with a straight face.10. From Deadline: Progressive lawmakers are calling on the Department of Justice to investigate the Warner Brothers merger with Discovery. In a letter to Attorney General Merrick Garland and DOJ antitrust chief Jonathan Kanter, the signatories allege that the merger “appears to have enabled” the company to “adopt potentially anticompetitive practices that reduce consumer choice and harm workers in affected labor markets.” They went on to argue that the merger has led to the “hollowing out” of an “iconic American studio,” and cited the cancellation of projects and the removal of content from the HBO Max platform.11. Dueling court orders have resulted in uncertainty about universal access to the abortion pill Mifepristone. Regarding the order to suspend the drug, Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden issued a statement declaring “I believe the Food and Drug Administration has the authority to ignore this ruling.” The Senate Finance Committee oversees the FDA.12. The Austin American-Statesman reports that, less than 24 hours after Daniel Perry was convicted of murdering Garrett Foster, a Black Lives Matter protester in 2020, Governor Greg Abbott announced that he would pardon the convicted killer as soon as a request "hits my desk." While the killer claimed that he was acting in self defense, he had mused on social media that he might “kill a few people on my way to work.”13. From Bloomberg Law: The International Brotherhood of Teamsters reported gaining 206,000 members in 2022, an increase of 20% from the previous year. Many credit this growth to the new leadership in the union, which took power in 2022. Teamsters President Sean O'Brien responded to this news by tweeting “Just getting started.” Get full access to Ralph Nader Radio Hour at www.ralphnaderradiohour.com/subscribe
