Police demanded an annual Afro-Caribbean festival in London — billed as Europe’s largest street party — be suspended after widespread violence, with one officer even being sexually assaulted while policing the event.
London police are calling for the tradition of the city’s annual Notting Hill carnival to end after this year’s festival saw large numbers of stabbings, assaults, and one murder.
Although she was about to publicly reveal a nightmarish personal experience—and the worst mistake of her life—Charlene Carter strode confidently through a stately Dallas federal courtroom.
Carter knew her testimony would prove pivotal in her five-year quest to be reinstated as a Southwest Airlines flight attendant. But she also believed she was carrying the torch for freedom of speech, employee rights, and right versus wrong.
The College Fix notes that Yale professor Theodore Kim has received a $1 million grant from the Bungie Foundation to address racism in video games, including hair. A press release from Yale states that algorithms used to generate characters are largely based on European features, and Kim will use the grant “to develop new tools and algorithms to bring inclusivity to the digital screen.” Kim states, “This research will serve as an example of how to identify the products of systemic racism in computer graphics and demonstrate how to take concrete steps to ameliorate their harm.”
Federal agents removed thousands of documents from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate last month — a fraction of which contained classified information, according to a detailed inventory unsealed by a federal judge Friday.
The property list revealed by US District Judge Aileen Cannon indicated that 11,179 government documents and photographs seized by federal agents on Aug. 8 bore no classification markings at all.
By contrast, 54 documents removed from the Palm Beach, Fla., resort were marked “SECRET,” 31 were labeled “CONFIDENTIAL” and another 18 were labeled “TOP SECRET,” according to an initial tally by The Post.
The scale of energy rationing that may be required at home, in the NHS, schools, care homes, shops, pubs and on the streets of Britain because of surging energy prices and the threat of blackouts is laid bare today.
Experts have told MailOnline there is ‘no escape’ for the 66million people in the UK who will be encouraged to cut their use of gas and electricity this winter and even turn off the lights when the wind drops.
Kathryn Porter, from consultancy Watt-Logic, fears that the crisis will cost lives in the coming months and told MailOnline: ‘We should keep our fingers crossed for a warm and windy winter’. Ms Porter has said that it’s ‘very possible’ the UK will see plans for energy rationing, despite Liz Truss, the likely next prime minister, absolutely ruling it out, but the energy expert added: ‘It would be voluntary, asking people to make a small sacrifice to avoid blackouts’.
Russia’s Gazprom has said natural gas supplies to Europe via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline will remain shut off.
It comes after G7 finance ministers agreed to impose a price cap on Russian oil exports in an effort to limit funding for President Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine.
Well that worked. I guess.
Environment Canada says online reports of ‘climate police’ are false
Environment and Climate Change Canada is responding to online reports it says are falsely accusing the ministry of recruiting officers to police climate change.
“We are aware of some misleading reports on social media suggesting that we are creating a new enforcement function,” the ministry wrote in a series of tweets on Thursday.
“This is false and the record needs to be set straight.”
Democrats melt down after CNN hosts criticize Biden speech
Democrats had an online meltdown after hosts from their leftist network CNN dared question President Biden’s use of the military during his fiery primetime attack on his Republican rivals.
Hosts Brianna Keilar and Jeff Zeleny were just a few of the people upset at the commander-in-chief using Marines to back him during his speech — sparking demands for their axing and an outright boycott of the left-wing network.
“You are clearly a shill for the RNC,” one person whose Twitter bio includes a #BidenHarris2020 hashtag tweeted Zeleny just for saying that using the Marine Band was “a break with White House traditions.”
YouTube has closed down a channel used by an extremist, named “Britain’s most racist YouTuber”, for breaching its hate speech policies.
James Owens, 37, used codewords and euphemisms to bypass automated monitoring on the video platform and broadcast attacks on Jewish and black people, it was reported.
YouTube said it had terminated the channel used by the extremist, who operated under the codename “the ayatollah”. The Google-owned company, which was contacted by the Times before the termination, said the Tollahvision – The Ayatollah channel breached its hate speech policies.
UK aid spending is encouraging hunger-stricken Africans to eat insects, with projects aiming to develop the practice in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zimbabwe.
Edible insects have long been touted as a resource-efficient source of protein, requiring less land and water than conventional livestock. However, taste and cultural resistance have proved to be stumbling blocks in extending the practice in many parts of the world.
In a move to realise the substantial on-paper benefits of insect-eating, a £50,000 UK aid project in the DRC is putting African caterpillars, migratory locusts and black soldier flies on the menu.
Governments encouraging the Eating of Bugs is a conspiracy according to the CBC.
ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine, Sept 2 (Reuters) – Ukraine and Russia traded accusations over each others’ actions around the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant on Friday as a team of inspectors from the UN nuclear watchdog tried to check the safety of the facility and avert a potential disaster.
Ukraine’s state nuclear company said the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) mission had not been allowed to enter the plant’s crisis centre, where Ukraine says Russian troops are stationed, and would struggle to make an impartial assessment.
#Ukraine: Perhaps everyone assumed that Bayraktar TB-2 UCAVs are no longer used for offensive actions- but that isn't true.
Aided by HARM strikes, they are operating intensely during the #Kherson Offensive- such as this Russian 2S3 Akatsiya 152mm SPG torn apart just yesterday. pic.twitter.com/Xw3TXAkPzq

Post-pandemic, tourists have returned to Niagara Falls.
But something’s missing — a lot of Americans, even though the popular Ontario tourist destination sits right next to the U.S. border.
“It’s devastating,” said Anna Pierce, vice president of Niagara Helicopters, which offers rides over the falls.
Pierce says bookings are down 35 per cent this summer compared to the summer of 2019, largely due to the lack of American tourists.

Universities mandating masks on campus at this point is silly and mandating vaccine boosters is unethical. Here’s why: Imagine a hypothetic group of five students, discussing the recent mask and booster mandate introduced at Ontario’s Western University.
… Mike King, director of research at the OPV, said that in the past, there were many distinct ideologies, listing examples such as white supremacy, anti-government extremism and left-wing extremism and extreme misogyny.
“Now we’re seeing more and more blurred planes between these ideologies where people are kind of picking and choosing portions of the same ideologies, and putting them together and almost kind of having a tailored extremist ideology of their own,” he said.
I suggest that the despicable Justin Trudeau has united extremists of all stripes.
I never heard of OPV, I bet it’s tax payer supported. “Hate” has been made a lucrative gig by Justin being both target and funder.
Alberta’s lieutenant-governor says it’s not a done deal that she would automatically sign off on a proposal from a United Conservative Party leadership candidate to pass a bill aimed at ignoring federal laws and court rulings.
Salma Lakhani says she would seek legal advice as required, but says she is duty-bound to ensure the Constitution is followed.
Culture Minister Ron Orr bashes ‘Laurentian elites’ as Alberta celebrates birthday holiday
Alberta celebrated its inaugural birthday party holiday with Culture Minister Ron Orr bashing the prime minster and “Laurentian elites” while asserting the province has received the short end of the stick in the federation for more than a century.
“The family compact of Laurentian elites have always skewed the deal in their favour,” Mr. Orr told assembled dignitaries, including Premier Jason Kenney, Indigenous leaders and Lieutenant-Governor Salma Lakhani, on a sunny morning Thursday near the legislature grounds.
