New bill would ban local politicians from passing gun control in South Carolina after the Parkland shooting

0 comments

New bill would ban local politicians from passing gun control in South Carolina after the Parkland shootingA bill set to be introduced this week in South Carolina would bar local governments from enacting stricter gun control, dramatically reducing the ability of local politicians to determine how to address gun violence in their communities. The bill, written by state Representative Joshua Putnam and reviewed by The Independent, would mean changes to gun laws at the local level would have to be approved by two thirds of both chambers of the South Carolina legislature. If passed, South Carolina would join a handful of states where similar laws exist, including Florida, where the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland left 17 dead.

British and American soldiers killed in Syria were on mission to capture Isil member, Pentagon says

0 comments

British and American soldiers killed in Syria were on mission to capture Isil member, Pentagon saysA British and an American soldier killed in Syria last week were on a secret mission to kill or capture a member of the Islamic State of Iraq in the Levant (Isil), the Pentagon has confirmed. Master Sgt. Jonathan Dunbar, from Austin, Texas, and Sgt. Matt Tonroe, a SAS sniper from Manchester, died in an improvised explosive devise blast in Manbij, Syria. The pair was killed and five other troops wounded on March 30. Few details have been released about the circumstances, but Major Adrian Rankine-Galloway, a Pentagon spokesman, said on Monday that they died in the top secret mission. The US military has not said whether the IED was in a building, a vehicle or buried in the road. The troops were out of their vehicles at the time of the explosion, according to a US official. There is also no word on whether the target was found and captured or killed. One indicator of the sensitivity of the mission was that Dunbar was identified publicly by the Army only as being "assigned to Headquarters, U.S. Army Special Operations Command, Fort Bragg, N.C." That specific language has been used in the past when troops killed in action have actually been part of the Army's elite Delta Force, a counterterrorism unit that is not publicly identified. CNN reported that Dunbar was assigned to Delta. Delta Force and the Naval Special Warfare Development Group - popularly known as Seal Team Six - are among the so-called Tier One units that specialise in high-risk counterterrorism and hostage rescue missions that are rarely acknowledged. Special operations forces have been in the Manbij area recently looking for high-value Isil operatives that may have fled to the area, the US official said. There are currently around 2,000 US troops in Syria, who mostly work with local allies fighting Isil. On Thursday President Donald Trump said that the US would "be coming out of Syria, like, very soon". It later emerged that he had suspended the funds for a $200 million stabilisation project in the country. His remarks caught military leaders off guard, and were strongly criticised by Lindsey Graham, Republican senator for South Carolina. Mr Graham warned that pulling out of Syria now, with Isil on the run, would be “the single worst decision” that the president could make.

Israel rejects calls for independent probe of Gaza violenceIsrael rejected calls for an independent probe on Sunday after its soldiers killed 16 Palestinians and wounded hundreds more when a major demonstration led to clashes along the border with the Gaza Strip. Israel's military has faced questions from rights groups over its use of live fire on Friday, the bloodiest day in the conflict since a 2014 war, while Palestinians accused soldiers of firing on protesters posing no threat. Both UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and EU diplomatic chief Federica Mogherini have called for an independent investigation.

The 20-year-old told a family friend she planned to return home after completing her education at Oxford, where she is reading for a degree in politics, philosophy and economics. Roads were blocked off in the town of Mingora as Yousafzai, known universally by her first name, flew in by military helicopter with her parents and brother.

Israel rejects calls for Gaza inquiry as Netanyahu likens criticism to an April Fools

0 comments

Israel rejects calls for Gaza inquiry as Netanyahu likens criticism to an April FoolsIsrael on Sunday rejected international calls for an inquiry into the killing of 16 Palestinians by Israeli soldiers along the Gaza border during a mass demonstration on Friday. “We shall not cooperate with any commission of inquiry,” Avigdor Lieberman told Israel’s public radio, torpedoing entreaties by UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and EU diplomatic chief Federica Mogherini for an independent investigation into the deaths.  In addition to the 16 killed, Palestinian health officials said more than 700 people were injured in Friday’s violence, making it the most deadly day in Gaza since the end of the 2014 war. On Sunday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu of being "a terrorist" after the Israeli prime minister rejected Ankara's "moral lessons" over deadly clashes in Gaza. "Hey Netanyahu! You are occupier. And it is as an occupier that are you are on those lands. At the same time, you are a terrorist," Erdogan said in a televised speech in Adana, southern Turkey. However, Mr Netanyahu rejected Turkish criticism, likening it to an April Fools joke.  "The most moral army in the world will not be lectured to on morality from someone who for years has been bombing civilians indiscriminately," he wrote on Twitter. He added: "Apparently this is how they mark April 1 in Ankara." Close to 30,000 Palestinians demonstrated along the heavily militarised Israeli-Gaza border on Friday after midday prayers. Israeli troops opened fire on the crowds with live ammunition and rubber-coated steel pellets. Israeli military drones dropped tear gas on demonstrators.  Video from the scene appears to show people some unarmed protesters being by shot. Teargas canisters fired by Israeli troops fall down on Palestinians during a demonstration near the Gaza Strip border Credit: AP Photo/Khalil Hamra The Israeli military said videos incomplete, edited or "completely fabricated” videos were deliberately released by Gaza’s leadership Hamas group. Hamas is group sworn to Israel’s destruction. Human rights groups and high-level international figures criticised Israel’s military for using too much force on demonstrators. But Mr Netanyahu praised the Israeli soldiers involved for “guarding the country’s borders.” Mr Lieberman echoed his comments, saying the troops “did what had to be done.” "I think that all of our troops deserve a commendation, and there won't be any inquiry,” Mr Lieberman told Israeli Army Radio on Sunday. He said that even if there were a UN inquiry, Israel would not participate. Mr Lieberman, who is known for his hawkish views, brushed off claims that Israeli troops were heavy-handed, saying the protests were not a “Woodstock festival.” The protests, which were backed led by Hamas, were touted as the start of a six-week-long demonstration against the decade-long blockade of Gaza, and to demand the right of return of Palestinian refugees to return to their homes in what is today Israel.  The protests are set to culminate in a larger march on May 15, the 70th anniversary of Israel's founding, mourned by Palestinians as “the Catastrophe” that led to hundreds of thousands of Arabs being displaced in the 1948 war over Israel's creation. According to the UN’s Relief Works Agency (UNRWA) 1.3 million of Gaza’s 1.9 residents are Palestine refugees or descendants of people displaced in 1948. Under blockade by Israel and Egypt since 2007, residents do not have enough electricity, clean water or medical supplies. Building materials are hard to come by, as is anything that might have a dual use for militants, which means much of the damage wrought in the 2014 war with Israel has not been repaired. Unemployment is at least 42 per cent for women and 22 per cent for men, and UNRWA says at least 30 per cent of the population needs some kind of psychological support.

Malala Yousafzai in emotional return to hometown where she was shot in the head

Malala Yousafzai in emotional return to hometown where she was shot in the headMalala Yousafzai has described how "a dream came true" as she made a tearful return to her hometown for the first time since she was shot there by the Taliban as a teenager.  Miss Yousafzai, who became the youngest ever Nobel Peace Prize winner for her campaign for girl's education, flew into Mingora, her home town in the Swat Valley, on a Pakistani Army helicopter on Saturday.  Malala Yousafzai arrives by helicopter to the all-boys Swat Cadet College Guli Bagh, during her hometown visit Credit:  ABDUL MAJEED/ AFP But while her return amid heavy security has been welcomed by most in Pakistan, it has been greeted by cynicism and hostility by still influential conservatives who view her as an advocate of alien western values. Mingora is where Malala's family was living and where she was attending school on October 9, 2012, when a gunman boarded her school bus, asked "who is Malala?", and shot her in the face. During an emotional reunion with friends and family and a visit to a local school, she said she had "never felt so happy" and praised the Pakistani security forces for fighting the Taliban.  "I miss everything about Pakistan … right from the rivers, the mountains, to even the dirty streets and the garbage around our house, and my friends and how we used to have gossip and talk about our school life, to how we used to fight with our neighbours," she said.  Students arrive at the Khpal Kor Model School, which was built with Malala Yousafzai's Nobel prize money Credit:  AFP/ABDUL MAJEED "So much joy seeing my family home, visiting friends and putting my feet on this soil again," she said.  Family friends said she was in tears after entering the family home where relatives, former classmates and friends had been anxiously waiting since morning to welcome her. So much joy seeing my family home, visiting friends and putting my feet on this soil again. #Home#Pakistanpic.twitter.com/B8VN5Odd27— Malala (@Malala) March 31, 2018 She later thanked the military for bringing peace to the area in an address to students at the all-boys Swat Cadet College Guli Bagh, some 15 kilometres (nine miles) outside of Mingora, the district's main town. "Peace has been restored in the country due to sacrifices of security forces," she said. "I left Swat with my eyes closed and now I am back with my eyes open," she said, referring to the attack which nearly blinded her.  "I am extremely delighted. My dream has come true. Peace has returned to Swat because of the invaluable sacrifices rendered by my brothers and sisters," she said.  The Swat Valley, part of the deeply conservative  Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, was a stronghold of Islamist militants for two years until the Pakistani Army recaptured the area in 2009.  The most beautiful place on earth to me. #SwatValley#Pakistanpic.twitter.com/eC4uHPt1wt— Malala (@Malala) March 31, 2018 The Pakistani Taliban still carry out terrorist attacks in the area, six years since a gunman from the group attempted to murder the then 15 year old Miss Yousafzai for campaigning for girls' education.  Miss Yousafzai's case has garnered attention across the world and while all women are guaranteed the right to education under Pakistan's constitution, girls education continues to face opposition from religious conservatives as well fundamentalist groups including the Taliban. A 2013 UNESCO found that over 3 million girls do not attend primary school in Pakistan, partly for economic reasons.  After treatment for her gunshot wound at a military hospital in 2012 Miss Yousafzai was airlifted to Britain, where her remarkable recovery and continuing campaigning for girl's education earned her the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014, when she was just 17.  Malala Yousafzai, center in red shawl, sits with her family members and Pakistan Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb, second right, during a visit to Swat Cadet College in Mingora Credit: Abdullah Sherin/AP She has been credited with helping to improved education in the region, especially for girls, in the region. Earlier this month an all-girls school built with money from the Malala Fund opened in Shangla district northeast of Mingora, where her family lived before moving to the city. Miss Yousafzai, who is now 20 and studying politics, philosophy and economics at Oxford returned to Pakistan for the first time since the attack on Thursday.  Security has been tight for Miss Yousafzai's return to Pakistan, where her arrival has been criticized by religious conservatives.  Kashif Miza, the Chairman of the All Pakistan Private School Federation, an educational association, organized an "I am not Malala" day in his organization's schools in protest at her visit.  Children attend a class at the Khushal school in Mingora, which Malala Yousafzai used to attend  Credit:  FAISAL MAHMOOD/Reuters "We found Malala's book highly controversial, and contrary to the ideology of Islam and Pakistan," he told the Telegraph, referring to her 2013 book about her experience.  "Her book was written at the behest of Western forces who have used Malala for their ulterior motives and it is clear that Malala is playing in the hands of the enemies of Islam and Pakistan," he said.  Others have welcomed her however.  Kashif Adeeb Jawadani, the president of the All Pakistan Private Schools Management Association, a rival educational association, said his organisation had ignored Mr Miza's event, and praised Miss Yousafzai as a "role-model"   "We are taking Malala as a guest in Pakistan and she is a role model for millions of Pakistanis as well because of her achievements," he said.  "Kashif Mirza has his own stance on Malala, but he cannot impose his narrative on us," Mr Jawadani said.
