Beatings, threats at gunpoint and fleeing in terror: Inside the most aggressive West Bank land [THEFT] in 50 years | The Independent

Les guerres US de l’après-11 septembre ont tué près de 4,5 millions de personnes investigaction.net
La guerre contre le terrorisme qui a suivi le 11 septembre 2001 pourrait avoir causé la mort d’au moins 4,5 millions de personnes dans une demi-douzaine de pays. C’est ce qui ressort d’un rapport publié lundi par la principale institution universitaire qui étudie les coûts, les pertes et les conséquences de cette guerre dans laquelle les bombes et les balles US continuent de tuer et de blesser des personnes dans de nombreux pays.
Le nouveau rapport ►https://watson.brown.edu/costsofwar/papers/2023/IndirectDeaths du projet « Costs of War » du Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs de l’université Brown montre « comment la mort survit à la guerre » en se penchant sur le sort des personnes tuées indirectement par la guerre contre le terrorisme en Afghanistan, en Irak, en Libye, au Pakistan, en Somalie, en Syrie et au Yémen.« Dans un pays comme l’Afghanistan, la principale question aujourd’hui est de savoir si un décès peut être considéré comme n’étant pas lié à la guerre« , a déclaré Stephanie Savell, codirectrice de Costs of War et auteur du rapport. « Les guerres tuent souvent beaucoup plus de personnes indirectement que dans les combats directs, en particulier les jeunes enfants. »
La publication « passe en revue les recherches les plus récentes afin d’examiner les voies de causalité qui ont conduit à une estimation de 3,6 à 3,7 millions de décès indirects dans les zones de guerre après le 11 septembre« , tandis que « le nombre total de morts dans ces zones de guerre pourrait être d’au moins 4,5 à 4,6 millions et plus, bien que le chiffre précis de la mortalité reste inconnu« .
Comme le précise le Washington Post, qui a été le premier à faire état de cette étude :
« Depuis 2010, une équipe de 50 universitaires, experts juridiques, spécialistes des droits de l’homme et médecins participant au projet « Costs of War » ont effectué leurs propres calculs. Selon leur dernière évaluation, plus de 906 000 personnes, dont 387 000 civils, sont mortes directement à cause des guerres de l’après 11 septembre. En outre, 38 millions de personnes ont été déplacées ou sont devenues des réfugiés. Le gouvernement fédéral US, quant à lui, a dépensé plus de 8 000 milliards de dollars pour ces guerres.Cependant, Savell a déclaré que la recherche indique qu’un nombre exponentiel de personnes, en particulier les enfants et les populations les plus pauvres et marginalisées, ont été tuées par les effets de la guerre – pauvreté croissante, insécurité alimentaire, contamination de l’environnement, traumatisme permanent de la violence et destruction des infrastructures sanitaires et publiques, ainsi que de la propriété privée et des moyens de subsistance. »
Selon le rapport, « la grande majorité des décès indirects dus à la guerre sont dus à la malnutrition, aux problèmes liés à la grossesse et à l’accouchement, et à de nombreuses maladies, y compris les maladies infectieuses et les maladies non transmissibles comme le cancer« .
Une étude réalisée en 2012 ▻https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/health-and-families/health-news/iraq-records-huge-rise-in-birth-defects-8210444.html a ainsi révélé que plus de la moitié des bébés nés dans la ville irakienne de Falloujah entre 2007 et 2010 présentaient des malformations congénitales. Parmi les femmes enceintes interrogées dans le cadre de l’étude, plus de 45 % ont fait des fausses couches au cours des deux années qui ont suivi les attaques US de 2004 sur Falloujah. Les relevés du compteur Geiger sur les sites contaminés par de l’uranium appauvri dans les zones urbaines irakiennes densément peuplées ont régulièrement révélé des niveaux de radiation de 1 000 à 1 900 fois supérieurs à la normale.
L’étude a aussi révélé que certains décès « résultent également de blessures dues à la destruction par la guerre d’infrastructures telles que les feux de signalisation, ainsi que de traumatismes et de violences interpersonnelles« .
Savell a déclaré que « les parties belligérantes qui endommagent les infrastructures ayant un impact sur la santé de la population ont la responsabilité morale de fournir une assistance et des réparations rapides et efficaces« .« Le gouvernement des États-Unis, même s’il n’est pas le seul responsable des dommages, a l’obligation d’investir dans l’aide humanitaire et la reconstruction dans les zones de guerre de l’après-11 septembre« , a-t-elle ajouté. « Le gouvernement étasunien pourrait faire beaucoup plus que ce qu’il fait actuellement pour assumer cette responsabilité. »

Leading Russian actress and poet Vera Polozkova brands Putin the ‘main maniac of 21st century’ | The Independent
▻https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/russian-actress-vera-polozkova-putin-b2247513.html
Russian president Vladimir Putin has been branded the “main maniac of the 21st century” by a leading Russian actress as his war on Ukraine enters its tenth month.
Vera Polozkova, 36, expressed her feeling of “crazy pain and shame” over Russia’s self-styled special military operation in Ukraine, and urged her fellow citizens to prepare to acknowledge, repent and atone for Moscow’s “crimes”.
Ms Polozkova made her remarks during an interview with popular Russian journalist and YouTuber Yury Dud, known for his interviews with a series of critics of Mr Putin’s brutal attacks on Ukraine.

Texas shooting latest news: Gunman’s texts revealed as videos show parents pleading with police to act | The Independent
▻https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/crime/texas-school-shooting-victims-identified-gunman-latest-b2087629.htmlolice who responded to the Texas school massacre have been accused of being “unprepared” and failing to respond as videos reveal parents pleading with officers outside Robb Elementary School in Uvalde on Tuesday.
Parents said they urged officers to move into school as the AR-15-wielding assailant fatally shot two teachers and 19 pupils.
The father of 10-year-old victim Jacklyn Cazares said he even suggested he could go in himself with other bystanders as he was frustrated police were not doing it themselves.
Details of the timeline and events remain unclear, including whether officers failed to prevent 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos from entering the school, and whether he “barricaded” himself inside a classroom before or after killing fourth-grade children inside.
Messages from Ramos to recipients on social media appear to show him flaunting his weapons and announcing plans to “shoot up a elementary school” moments before the killings.

Boris Johnson compares Ukrainian resistance to invasion to UK vote for Brexit | The Independent
▻https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/boris-johnson-ukraine-russia-brexit-b2039615.htmlBoris Johnson has compared Ukrainian resistance to Russia to Britain voting to leave the European Union, in highly controversial comments at the Conservative spring conference.
The prime minister also became the latest in a string of ministers to suggest that the seriousness of the situation in Ukraine should bring a halt to debates in Britain over supposedly “#woke” issues like preferred pronouns and the removal of statues linked to slavery. (...)
“Now is the time to end the culture of self-doubt, the constant self-questioning and introspection, the ludicrous debates about language, statues and pronouns.
(...) Brexit minister Jacob Rees-Mogg said the Ukraine crisis was “a reminder that the world is serious, and that there are serious things to be discussed and serious and difficult decisions for politicians to take, whether this is about reopening and having new licences for oil wells in the North Sea, or whether it is about getting away from the wokery that has beset huge sections of society”.
Conservatives should refuse to adopt “socialist” language like saying “chair” instead of “chairman” and go back to saying Peking rather than Beijing, said Rees-Mogg (...)
“We should be robust about how we use language. If we just cede the ground, then wokery advances.
Comme le dit un certain Mike #Godwin :
Drawing Bayesian inferences after extensive sampling, I’ve determined that it’s 99-percent certain that anyone who uses “woke” as pejorative will turn out to be a fuckhead. Please don’t blame me for pointing this out—it’s just science.

Facebook launches ‘smart glasses’ that take photos of what you’re seeing, and warns that people will try and use them inappropriately | The Independent
▻https://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/facebook-rayban-smart-glasses-photos-b1913757.htmlThe other major concern users might have over the Ray-Ban Stories is Facebook’s history of data privacy. The company has been repeatedly criticised over its failure to protect users’ data, and the amount on information that it collects as people use its services.
Moreover, smart glasses as a technology have also been infamous for their inherent risk to privacy. Ray-Ban Stories collects data about battery status, and the email address and password of the users’ Facebook account, and additional data like the number of images captured or how long a user spends taking videos can also be provided to Facebook.
Preempting this response, Facebook says that it designed the glasses with “privacy in mind” and claims it will not use this data to target users with ads. One of these privacy-focused design choices is a small LED light hardwired to the camera (like the green light on Apple’s Mac computers) that shines white when the camera is taking a photo.

CDC to hold ‘emergency meeting’ over cases of heart inflammation following second Covid vaccine | The Independent
▻https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/myocarditis-covid-vaccine-heart-inflammation-b1864343.html#Echobox=16Myocarditis is a condition that causes inflammation of the heart muscle. It typically develops from a viral infection, and it can cause symptoms like fatigue, fever and chest pain.
Preliminary data indicates cases of heart issues following vaccination were happening in those ages 16 to 24, with young men impacted more than women. Most of the cases came after the second dose of either Pfizer or Moderna’s vaccine, the preliminary data revealed.
This information comes one month after Israel’s health ministry said there was a “probable link” between Pfizer’s vaccine and inflammation of the heart muscles in young men.

Has anyone bothered to think about the staff working at quarantine hotels? | The Independent
▻https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/quarantine-hotels-covid-red-list-migrant-workers-b1802864.htmlThe government’s quarantine scheme requires 11 days of hotel isolation for travelers entering the UK from a “red list” of countries. But the entire initiative risks being undermined by policies which make it impossible for workers in the hotel industry to protect themselves from the spread of infection.We need to confront the possibility of the virus spreading between guests and staff, who must be able to take time off work to isolate if there is a risk they could have come into contact with an infected person. However, a low rate of statutory sick pay, alongside restrictions, especially for migrant workers, on access to financial support, means isolating from work can lead to destitution for many people in these jobs.
The government needs to raise statutory sick pay from £95 per week, one of the lowest in Europe and utterly insufficient to support a family for 10 days or more of isolation. It also needs to scrap No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF), which keeps migrant workers in poverty, and expand access to its one-off isolation payments of £500. Without these measures, workers in these hotels will face the impossible choice between isolating to protect their health and feeding their families. The hospitality sector in the UK has the highest proportion of migrant workers, making up 30 per cent of the workforce. Most migrants living and working in the UK are automatically subject to NRPF, leaving them unable to access the public safety net, including universal credit, child benefit, income support or housing benefit, regardless of their financial circumstances.
Red list countries: Full list of 33 nations where hotel quarantine rules apply ‘I guess this means it is okay for me to be violated’ – migrant women have been forgotten in the domestic abuse bill. Long before the pandemic, NRPF conditions were causing severe financial hardship for migrants. For migrant workers in the hospitality sector, an industry hit particularly hard by the pandemic, job losses combined with NRPF conditions have meant they are unable to say “no” to high-risk working conditions and low pay. Throughout this pandemic, we have seen how frontline workers, often in low-paid work, have kept our country going. Yet these are the workers who are consistently undervalued by the government and by employers, despite the fact they have kept our shops open, our transports systems running and our shared spaces clean. The new mandatory hotel quarantine scheme is no exception. The responsibility for lowering Covid-19 transmission across our borders has fallen to low-paid hotel workers, security staff and cleaners. It is them ensuring that the scheme runs smoothly and safely. Low rates of sick pay and a reliance on the statutory minimum wage is prevalent in hospitality contracts, and even more so in cleaning and security contracts, which are often outsourced to agencies, and where insecure and zero-hours contracts are common.#Covid-19#migrant#migration#grandebretagne#sante#hotelquarantaine#travailleurmigrant#travailleurpremiereligne#frontiere#economie

#Coronavirus : Scientists call for action after 50-fold rise in infections in schools | The Independent
▻https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/independent-sage-coronavirus-infection-schools-b1762906.htmlEn #Angleterre multiplication par 50 des infections dans les #écoles ; les #enfants/adolescents de 11 à 16 ans sont désormais le groupe d’âge avec les niveaux d’infection les plus élevés.
Professor Stephen Reicher of the University of St Andrews, of Independent Sage, said: “In the summer, the government effectively abandoned schools, requiring them to be safe but without providing the support or the resources to make this possible.
“As a result, far too many of our children are left in crowded, badly ventilated classrooms; infections have increased 50-fold since September; one in five students are off school; and all this is now putting the whole community at risk.
“The government must acknowledge its error and change direction. We must act urgently to make schools safe.”

Domestic abusers winning time with children by accusing mothers of parental alienation, study finds | The Independent | The Independent
▻https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/domestic-abuse-parental-alienation-family-courts-brunel-study-a929472Dr Adrienne Barnett, who carried out the research, said these cases were just the “tip of the iceberg” as the study had not looked at the thousands of cases heard by district and magistrate courts every day that are not published in the official court reports she examined.
“There will be thousands of cases where parental alienation is raised but we do not know what happens,” Dr Barnett, a senior lecturer in law who specialises in domestic abuse and the family courts, told The Independent.
“Playing the parental alienation card is proving more powerful than any other in silencing the voices of women and children resisting contact with abusive men. Parental alienation is not an equal counterpart to domestic abuse, it is a means of obscuring domestic abuse, and should be recognised as such”.
Dr Barnett, who specialised in family law while practising as a barrister for more than 30 years, said the theory of parental alienation had been slated and discredited by many experts but was now becoming more mainstream.

Auf wiedersehen, #Tegel: the long goodbye to West #Berlin | The Independent
▻https://www.independent.co.uk/travel/news-and-advice/tegel-airport-berlin-brandenburg-british-airways-twa-pan-am-b1561253.
Despite the mandatory mask, my final flight into Berlin Tegel airport was far more comfortable than the first.
On Friday evening, I paid British Airways £71. On Saturday morning I caught a train to London Heathrow airport. An hour later, I boarded an Airbus A320 that climbed to 39,000ft, and above Hanover began a slow and gentle descent to the German capital.
In January 1989, the experience was rather different. First I paid TWA £75 for a return flight from Gatwick to Frankfurt. Then I paid Pan Am £99 return to continue to West Berlin.
The further the Cold War recedes into the past, the weirder it seems. At the start of the year in which the Berlin Wall came down, flying on one now-extinct US airline to West Germany then changing to another now-defunct American carrier for a domestic flight to reach a city divided by a lethal barrier seemed almost normal.

US push for Arab-Israel ties divides Sudanese leaders U.S. country Government israel ties
Via AP news wire | 4 oct 2020 | The Independent
▻https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/us-push-arabisrael-ties-divides-sudanese-leaders-us-government-ties-iWhile Sudan’s transitional government has been negotiating the terms of removing the country from the list for more than a year, U.S. officials introduced the linkage to normalization with Israel more recently.
Top Sudanese military leaders who govern jointly with civilian technocrats in a Sovereign Council, have become increasingly vocal in their support for normalization with Israel as part of a quick deal with Washington ahead of the U.S. election.
“Now, whether we like it or not, the removal (of Sudan from the terror list) is tied to (normalization) with Israel,” the deputy head of the council, Gen. Mohammed Dagalo, told a local television station on Friday.
“We need Israel ... Israel is a developed country and the whole world is working with it,” he said. “We will have benefits from such relations ... We hope all look at Sudan’s interests.”
Such comments would have been unthinkable until recently in a country where public hostility toward Israel remains strong. (...)

Jacob Rees-Mogg suggests ’the weather’ is to blame for UK’s sky-high coronavirus death toll ▻https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/coronavirus-uk-jacob-rees-mogg-death-toll-weather-a9585616.html
Jacob Rees-Mogg has suggested “the weather” is to blame for the UK’s sky-high death toll from coronavirus, in the latest extraordinary explanation given.
The Commons leader also pointed to “the practices of individual cultures and societies” – although he did not expand on the thesis.
The reasoning comes after a different government minister drew criticism for claiming the UK was particularly vulnerable as “a global travel hub”.
Most experts have pointed to Boris Johnson’s reluctance to lock down society until late March – after an explosion of Covid-19 infections – as the key reason for more than 50,000 deaths.
But, facing questions about that “shocking” record in the Commons, Mr Rees-Mogg said: “A wide range of factors have affected death rates in different countries.
“Even things as simple as the weather may have influenced how the virus has spread, and so may the practices of individual cultures and societies.
“I think, therefore, that these headline comparisons are not necessarily enormously illuminative.”
