BRENDAN O’NEILL: The two things no one seems willing to say about the savage Manchester Airport attack – and the brute’s trial

It was surely one of the most anticipated verdicts in recent British criminal history. Following a thuggish brawl at Manchester Airport on July 23 last year, Mohammed Fahir Amaaz, 20, from Rochdale, was yesterday convicted for his callous assaults on two female police officers.

At Liverpool Crown Court, he was found guilty of causing actual bodily harm to PC Lydia Ward and assaulting PC Ellie Cook.

This brute, who thinks nothing of punching women in the face, remains in custody. I hope they throw the book at him.

LILLEY: Dhanraj files show the many ways CBC is failing Canadians

More than three weeks after CBC host Travis Dhanraj resigned in spectacular form and accused Canada’s state broadcaster of not living up to their ideals, CBC says Dhanraj is still an employee.

Yes, CBC still refuses to accept his resignation, which he said at the time was prompted by CBC’s bias, lack of diversity of opinion, and their attacks on his integrity.

Canada’s recognition of Palestinian state will likely have minimal impact without U.S. support, analysts say

The Canadian government’s plan to recognize a Palestinian state in September reflects Ottawa’s deep frustration with the Israeli government and sends a strong message that it supports a two-state solution, but analysts say it likely will have little impact without U.S. support.

Prime Minister Mark Carney made the announcement on Wednesday, saying that Canada intends to recognize a Palestinian state at the United Nations General Assembly. He said this is predicated on the Palestinian Authority’s commitment to important reforms, including president Mahmoud Abbas’s promise to hold general elections in 2026, in which Hamas could not take part, and the demilitarization of the Palestinian state.

Gaza Starvation Photos Tell a Thousand Lies

Hamas propaganda exploits seriously ill children, and Western media go along.

Over the weekend, I embedded with the Israel Defense Forces in Gaza, where I saw the enormous quantities of humanitarian aid the United Nations has been refusing to distribute. What struck me most were the thousands upon thousands of pounds of baby food, baking under the Middle Eastern sun—jar after jar of mashed carrots, pureed potatoes and fruit blends. This food could have gone to children like Mohammed al-Mutawaaq.

The ex-Harvard professor ‘off the leash’ on the trans debate

Wall of Transgender Heroines

Jimmy Doyle, a British academic who taught philosophy, says transgender rights have provoked ‘the most obvious social contagion since the Children’s Crusade’

One Tuesday evening last month in his mother’s house on the Wirral, the recently ex-Harvard philosophy professor Jimmy Doyle took to X to say, at last, what he really thought about the state of free speech in American academia.

In one tweet he wrote: “For unrelated reasons I’ve resigned my position at Harvard. But I haven’t been able to speak frankly with anyone for [about] five years. And it’ll be hard to forget the spectacle of this nation’s intellectual elite enforcing moral auto-lobotomy as a condition of entry to polite society.”

Hamilton judge reprimanded, ordered to apologize to Peter Khill after giving wrong manslaughter sentence

Ontario Superior Court Justice Andrew Goodman has been publicly reprimanded and ordered to apologize to a man found guilty of manslaughter for imposing a prison sentence two years longer than intended at the end of the high-profile case.

Goodman waited over a year before admitting he’d meant to sentence Peter Khill to six years in prison for manslaughter, not eight.

Khill had been found guilty in the 2016 shooting death of Jonathan Styres, a 29-year-old Cayuga father of two from Six Nations of the Grand River.

He should never have been found guilty to begin with.

America is scrapping green restrictions on cars. It’ll leave Europe in the dust

In a move that has sent shockwaves through the environmental policy world, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has proposed to rescind greenhouse gas emissions standards for vehicles under the Clean Air Act. This is not merely a regulatory rollback, but a fundamental rethinking of the legal and scientific basis for environmental regulation in America.

An accompanying climate assessment report from the US Department of Energy provides the scientific rationale for the rollback. It will make for uncomfortable reading for those who think that green policy should be based on ideology rather than a clear-headed assessment of the facts, but it is a vital document for bringing clarity to a subject often clouded by dogma.

Flight attendant accuses Delta of using ‘inexperienced’ pilot on plane that crashed at Pearson airport: lawsuit

Landing technique weak

A flight attendant who was a passenger on board the Delta Air Lines plane that crashed on the tarmac at Toronto Pearson International Airport earlier this year is now suing the airline, alleging it demonstrated a “reckless disregard for passenger safety” by assigning an “inexperienced pilot” to the flight.

Vanessa Miles, who works as a flight attendant for Delta, is seeking US$75 million in damages, according to a complaint filed in U.S. federal court.

None of the allegations have been proven in court and Delta Air Lines has not yet responded to CP24’s request for comment.

‘Like a sci-fi movie’: US baby born from 30-year-old frozen embryo breaks record

A baby boy has been born to an Ohio couple from an embryo that was frozen for more than 30 years, reportedly setting a new world record.

Lindsey, 35, and Tim Pierce, 34, welcomed their son, Thaddeus Daniel Pierce, on Saturday. Ms Pierce told MIT Technology Review her family thought “it’s like something from a sci-fi movie”.

It is believed to be longest that an embryo has been frozen before resulting in a successful live birth. The previous record-holder was a pair of twins who were born in 2022 from embryos frozen in 1992.

Canada’s recognition of Palestinian state ‘dangerously premature,’ Jewish groups say

“It is deeply concerning that the Canadian government does not link statehood recognition to the removal of Hamas and the return of Israeli hostages,” Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs CEO Noah Shack said Thursday. The CIJA represents Jewish Federations across Canada.

On Wednesday, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada intends to recognize Palestinian statehood at the United Nations General Assembly in September.
