Nikolas Cruz stays silent in court as thousands of US students stage walkout in gun control protest

Nikolas Cruz stays silent in court as thousands of US students stage walkout in gun control protestNikolas Cruz, the 19-year-old accused of killing 17 people in the Florida school shooting last month, sat in court silently on Wednesday, while students across the nation walked out of school to protest gun violence, the sat in court silently, his head bowed. Shackled, wearing a red jail jumpsuit and with head bowed, Cruz sat motionless in the jury box and said nothing during a brief hearing. Because he refused to announce his plea, Circuit Judge Elizabeth Scherer entered a not guilty plea on his behalf on each of the 34 counts he faces - mainly to keep the legal process moving. His lawyer, Assistant Public Defender Melisa McNeill, reiterated that Cruz would plead guilty if prosecutors waived the death penalty, which they refused to do. If he pleaded guilty, McNeill said Cruz would accept a sentence of 34 life terms behind bars. It's still possible a plea deal could be reached. Zachary Cruz cries as his brother, Nikolas Cruz is arraigned at the Broward County Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale Credit: AP At least 20 green-clad deputies from the Broward Sheriff's Office formed a tight ring of security around the courtroom. In the audience were several parents of shooting victims as well as Cruz's younger brother, Zachary. Cruz is accused of carrying out the massacre at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida that also wounded 17 people in a case that has reignited a national debate about gun control and school safety. It also prompted Wednesday's nationwide walkout.  Nikolas Cruz is lead out of the courtroom after an arraignment hearing at the Broward County Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale Credit: AP Tens of thousands of school pupils across the United States spilled out of their classrooms and demanded tighter gun control in one of the biggest student protests since the Vietnam era. Young people at nearly 3,000 separate schools and youth groups took part in the coast to coast National School Walkout as they called for measures including an assault weapons ban and universal background checks for gun buyers. The walkouts were staged at 10am in the different US time zones, meaning the entire event lasted for several hours. Many demonstrations were for 17 minutes, signifying one minute for each victim in Florida. Lewis Mizen, a Parkland survivor originally from Coventry in the UK, said the support had been "phenomenal". The 17-year-old, who moved to the US three years ago, added: "We're all standing up together as the next generation. We want to get the ball rolling, get things happening in Washington and in state capitols.

We're not going to stop until every child in America can go to school safely." Chuck Schumer speaking to anti-gun protest at Capitol pic.twitter.com/i1A488DZLo— nick allen (@nickallen789) March 14, 2018 David Farber a history professor at the University of Kansas, said it was the "biggest youth-oriented and youth-organised protest movement" since the "early Seventies at least". He added: "Young people are that social media generation and it's easy to mobilise them in a way that it probably hadn't been even 10 years ago." Students from Washington-Lee High School hold up posters, with pictures of those killed in the Parkland school shooting, during a walk out in Arlington, Virginia on March 14, 2018 Credit:  AFP In Washington 2,000 pupils from local schools gathered outside the White House and sat on the ground with their backs turned while a nearby church bell tolled. They carried signs saying "I should be worrying about my grades, not my life" and "Protect kids not guns". Pupils then marched down Pennsylvania Avenue towards the US Capitol, passing the Trump International Hotel where they chanted "Hey hey, ho ho, the NRA has got to go!" Democrat politicians, including the party's Senate leader Chuck Schumer, and House leader Nancy Pelosi, walked out of Congress to address them outside the Capitol. Mr Schumer led the crowd in a chant of "We're going to win." Senator Bernie Sanders, the former Democratic presidential hopeful, also walked out and addressed them. Nancy Pelosi addressing anti-gun protest pic.twitter.com/7u8J2jilTa— nick allen (@nickallen789) March 14, 2018 Margo Ogrosky, 14, holding a sign with the names of gun victims outside the Capitol, said: "I'm here today because sometimes I don't feel safe in school and I want to feel safe." Aaron Bergman, who was celebrating his 18th birthday and holding a "Gun Control Now" sign, added: "There are significant actions these legislators can take on the national level to reduce the access people have to firearms. It really matters a lot to me." Students gather outside the U.S. Capitol during walk-outs in support of stricter gun laws in Washington Credit:  REUTERS Another teenager, Charlotte Lindblom, 17, said: "We have to keep going and be persistent. The politicians have to realise that we can vote pretty soon and we can kick them out of office." Pupils also crammed into a packed hearing of the US Senate judiciary committee where the father of one of the Florida victims addressed senators. At New York City's Fiorello H LaGuardia High School pupils poured into the streets of Manhattan. Many were dressed in orange, the colour adopted in recent years by the gun- control movement. They chanted "Enough is enough." Thousands of local students sit for 17 minutes in honor of the 17 students killed last month in a high school shooting in Florida, during a nationwide student walkout for gun control in front the White House in Washington, DC, March 14, 2018  Credit:  AFP In Florida thousands of pupils at the Parkland school filed onto their football field, applauded by their families, and hugged in the centre. David Hogg, a survivor of the shooting, said: "Every one of these individuals could have died that day. I could have died that day." At Columbine High School in Colorado, where two pupils killed 13 people in 1999, young people also gathered on a football field and released balloons. Some school districts, including in Georgia and Ohio, threatened to discipline pupils who joined the protest, but many walked out anyway. In Bentonville, Arkansas, a high school pupil was suspended for promoting a walkout with flyers. MTV and some other youth TV networks went silent for 17 minutes to support the demonstrations.

Horror, bewilderment after bulldog pup dies on United plane

Horror, bewilderment after bulldog pup dies on United planeShock over a puppy's death on a United Airlines plane has renewed scrutiny over airline handling of pets, after a flight attendant demanded the animal travel in an overhead bin where it apparently suffocated. A string of calamities linked to pets on planes has inflamed a grim public relations nightmare for United, which in the past year has dealt with the death of a valuable giant rabbit, outrage over its refusal to allow an "emotional support" peacock to board, and now the death of a 10-month old French bulldog. While traveling from Houston to New York Monday with two children including an infant, Catalina Robledo was told Kokito, the family's black pooch with deepset wrinkles and a squished-in nose, would need to travel in the overhead compartment, as its carrier was partially in the aisle.

The scientist who leaked Russia's Novichok 'conspiracy'Dissident Soviet scientist Vil Mirzayanov gained notoriety in the 1990s when he blew the cover on Moscow's secret experimentation with Novichok, the nerve gas used in the poisoning of a Russian ex-spy in Britain. Mirzayanov had worked for almost three decades in the Soviet Union at the State Scientific Research Institute of Organic Chemistry and Technology. After he was fired in 1992, he and another scientist wrote a newspaper article revealing how the government had developed deadly chemical compounds known as Novichok -- or "newcomer" in English.

Would a Russian veto at the UN trigger US strikes on Syria?

0 comments

Would a Russian veto at the UN trigger US strikes on Syria?A two-pronged US push for action on Syria at the UN Security Council could prompt Russia to again use its veto, a move some diplomats see as a possible trigger for American strikes in Syria. Russia has used its veto power 11 times to block action against its Syrian ally, shielding President Bashar al-Assad's government from sanctions, war crimes investigations and an inquiry into chemical weapons attacks. Speculation about a 12th Russian veto on Syria is again rife after the United States on Monday put forward a draft resolution on a 30-day ceasefire in Eastern Ghouta and Damascus.

Jeremy Corbyn accused of being an 'apologist' for Kremlin as his MPs turn on him over claims British intelligence is 'problematic'

0 comments

Jeremy Corbyn accused of being an 'apologist' for Kremlin as his MPs turn on him over claims British intelligence is 'problematic'Jeremy Corbyn was yesterday accused of being an "apologist for Russia" after suggesting Moscow may not be responsible for a nerve agent attack, as furious Labour MPs turned on him in the House of Commons.  The Labour leader and his spokesman Seumas Milne repeatedly failed to accept that Russia is responsible for the attack on Sergei Skripal and his daughter and later called British intelligence "problematic", warning another state could be to blame.  Labour MPs called for Mr Milne's resignation last night with one branding his behaviour "deplorable", while a shadow minister warned his comments showed a "complete lack of understanding of the mood of Parliament and the British people".  The remarks prompted John Woodcock, the Labour chair of the backbench defence committee, and a group of his parliamentary colleagues, to table a formal motion throwing his support behind the Prime Minister in defiance of their leader.  Corbyn or the Russian Embassy | Who said what Mr Milne, who once traveled to Russia on a trip paid for by the Kremlin, was criticised by the Prime Minister after he said the record of British intelligence services was "problematic" following the Iraq war.  A furious Theresa May told MPs it was "shocking" and "outrageous" of Mr Corbyn's most senior aide to claim Russia may have been framed after the nerve agent fell into "random hands", while the defence secretary Gavin Williamson told this newspaper the remarks were "utterly deluded".  Security sources also reacted with anger, claiming Mr Milne would rather trust the Russian FSB than British MI6. Russian spy poisoning | Read more It came after Mrs May expelled 23 Russian diplomats and left MPs in no doubt of Russia's responsibility for the attack, which left Mr Skripal and his daughter in a critical state in hospital.  But speaking in the House of Commons Mr Corbyn, who was heavily criticised for failing to condemn Russia in his address on Monday, appeared to repeat demands made by the Russian Embassy on Twitter.  He asked Mrs May how she had responded to the Russian state's request for samples of the nerve agent used in the attack, just 24 hours after Moscow said it would not respond until it had been sent evidence of the toxin used.  And he drew cries of "disgrace" and "shame" as spoke of cuts to Britain's diplomatic service around the world. The Labour leader was forced to watch as his own MPs rounded on him publicly, offering their support for the Prime Minister and denouncing his failure to take a tough stand on Russian aggression.  He is understood to have been given a full security briefing under Privy Council terms before making the statement, suggesting he would have been shown the evidence presented by British security experts.  Conservative MP Mark Francois branded him "a CND badge-wearing apologist for the Russian state". In a briefing after the statement Mr Milne, who speaks for Mr Corbyn, told reporters that Labour does not believe there is enough evidence yet to blame the Russian state for the attack. Despite being given security briefings on the incident, the spokesman said: "The Government has access to information and intelligence on this matter which others don't. "However, also there is a history in relation to weapons of mass destruction and intelligence which is problematic, to put it mildly." Pressed on whether Moscow was being framed, he said the "overwhelming" evidence pointed to either the Russian state being responsible of losing control of the agent. Today @jeremycorbyn faced a simple test: would he condemn the Russian government for launching a chemical weapons attack on the UK, and back the actions of the British government? His failure to do so reveals where his loyalties lie.— Nick Boles MP (@NickBoles) March 14, 2018 But indicating another state could be involved he added: "If the material is from the Soviet period, the break up of the Soviet state led to all sorts of military material ending up in random hands." Labour MP Anna Turley later tweeted: "I'm afraid Seumas [Milne] doesn't speak for my Labour or British values." His words appear to echo the statement made by Russian MP Vitaly Milonov earlier this week when he said: "This poison is 50 years old. It’s not modern stuff. You can create this poison from any laboratory in Ukraine or other fake countries that are happy to help you.  "I think this is something to deal with in theatre or a James Bond movie.”

Former biotech star charged with fraud over blood-testing claims

Former biotech star charged with fraud over blood-testing claimsHolmes and Theranos made a deal to settle the case against them, with the penalty including her surrendering majority voting control of the company, according to a statement by the US Securities and Exchange Commission. Founded in 2003 by Holmes when she was only 19, the company had been seen as a rising star but came under scrutiny after The Wall Street Journal published articles questioning the reliability of its technology. Theranos, which had touted a new way of testing that uses far less blood and delivers faster results at much lower cost than traditional methods in US labs, had been under civil and criminal investigation over its claims.
