      FBI searches Joe Biden’s Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, home

      Searches of Biden’s former office and Delaware homes, by contrast, have all been done voluntarily and without a warrant AP Photo Washington: The FBI on Wednesday searched President Joe Biden’s vacation home in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, marking the third time in as many months that agents have scoured his property in search of classified documents that he may have improperly held. The search, disclosed by Biden’s personal lawyer, is the latest discomfiting moment for a president who has sought to contrast his sensitivity to rule-following with that of his predecessor Donald Trump, who faces a criminal investigation into his handling of classified documents. It shows that an investigation that had simmered quietly for weeks was continuing rather than fading away as Biden,…

      Iranian blogger couple sentenced to over 10 years in prison after video of them dancing in public surfaced

      Iran is known for its strict adherence to the dress code and ‘morality’ laws, which have been the subject of nationwide protests ever since Mahsa Amini died while allegedly in the care of Iran’s “Morality Police.” An Iranian couple recently received a 10-year prison sentence for dancing in the streets to promote the country’s revolution for women’s rights.

      Rate of executions in Saudi Arabia almost doubles under Mohammed bin Salman

      The rate of executions carried out by Saudi Arabia has almost doubled under the rule of the de-facto leader, Mohammed bin Salman, with the past six years being among the bloodiest in the Kingdom’s modern history, a report has found. Rates of capital punishment are at historically high levels, despite a push to modernise with widespread reforms and a semblance of individual liberties. Activist groups say the price of change has been high, with a total crackdown on the crown prince’s political opponents and zero tolerance for dissent. Pledges by Prince Mohammed – who has consolidated extraordinary powers across the Kingdom’s business spheres, industrialists and elite families – to curb executions have not been kept, the new data shows, with…

      UK Teachers who strike could still claim pay

      Striking teachers will be paid, officials fear, with unions set to force the closure of classrooms at the vast majority of schools on Wednesday. More than 100,000 members of the National Education Union are expected to walk out in the most disruptive teachers’ strike in more than a decade, with 85 per cent of schools in England and Wales set to close to some or all year groups. However, schools have made the decision to close without knowing which teachers will actually be on strike because of laws that mean union members cannot be forced to tell their bosses. On Tuesday night, concerns were raised that this could enable striking teachers to claim that they are working and therefore be paid. In a letter to…

      Airbus and Qatar Airways settle A350 row, resume business

      Airbus and Qatar Airways have settled a dispute over the safety of grounded A350 jets, the companies said on Wednesday, averting a potentially damaging UK court trial following a blistering 18-month feud that captivated rivals. The “amicable and mutually agreeable settlement” ends a $2 billion row over damage to the surface of Europe’s premier long-haul jet – an unprecedented public spat which had led to the withdrawal of billions of dollars of Qatar jet deals by Airbus. © Thomson Reuters Those orders – for 23 undelivered A350s and 50 smaller and in-demand A321neos – have been restored under the new deal, though Qatar will get the A321neos three years later than originally scheduled in 2026, with the A350s resuming in 2023.…

      Myanmar anti-coup forces retain optimism in face of air attacks

      Groups that rose up against the military after its February 2021 power grab say air raids are a sign of its weakness, not strength. The Karenni Nationalities Defence Force (KNDF) believes anti-coup forces can make a breakthrough in 2023 [File: Karenni Nationalities Defence Force (KNDF) via AFP] By Andrew Nachemson Resistance to military rule in Myanmar has been defined by optimism. When the military first seized power on February 1, 2021, the mass peaceful protests that emerged were reminiscent of a jubilant street party. Demonstrators sang in the streets, wore silly costumes and carried humorous signs. There were no illusions about what might come next in a country where the armed forces have a history of brutality against those that oppose…
