The incident caused a mass casualty influx at a nearby Red Cross field hospital, with the facility receiving 22 bodies and 45 injured, with reports of additional casualties.

Firing so dangerously close to humanitarian structures, of whose locations the parties to the conflict are aware and which are clearly marked with the Red Cross emblem, puts the lives of civilians and Red Cross staff at risk, said the ICRC. This grave security incident is one of several in recent days; previously stray bullets have reached ICRC structures. We decry these incidents that put the lives of humanitarians and civilians at risk.

Hawaii Settles Lawsuit with Youth Plaintiffs Over Climate Impact, US

The state of Hawai’i has settled a nearly two-year lawsuit filed by over a dozen youth plaintiffs who alleged that the Department of Transportation violated their constitutional rights to live healthful lives in Hawai’i now and into the future. In Navahine F. v. Hawai’i Department of Transportation (DOT), the plaintiffs argued that despite the state’s goals to be a leader in climate action, emissions from the transportation sector keep rising, with the DOT unable to hit interim benchmarks to reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions since 2008.

The back-and-forth since the suit was filed in 2022 has been expensive and contentious, with the plaintiffs accusing their counterparts of using aggressive tactics. Governor Josh Green welcomed the plaintiffs to announce the settlement before trial, focusing on implementing transformative changes in Hawai’i’s transportation system to achieve net-negative emissions by 2045. The settlement does not include financial compensation but acknowledges the youths’ constitutional rights to a life-sustaining climate and the state’s commitment to take action.

The lawsuit highlighted the impact of climate change on Hawaiian youth, especially on cultural practices. The plaintiffs emphasized the urgent need for the state to address rising emissions from the transportation sector, with a focus on decarbonizing the system and investing in clean transportation. The agreement includes various actions that the Department of Transportation has committed to take in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil fuels, prioritizing environmental sustainability.

India witnessed a significant surge in deeptech startups in 2023, with 480 new ventures entering the market, making it the third-largest pool globally. However, these startups are facing a funding winter, hindering their ability to scale and compete on a global level. Investors are expressing concerns about long gestation periods and risk levels, leading to a decline in funding volumes. AI emerged as a popular choice for both founders and investors, with 74% of startups in 2023 being AI-driven. The lack of large global investors and declining investor emphasis on large-ticket investments are contributing to the funding struggles faced by deeptech startups in India. To address these challenges and unlock the potential of deeptech innovation, a multi-pronged approach is needed to increase early-stage funding, create a supportive ecosystem for scale-ups, and implement initiatives to aid commercialization.

Experts have suggested that your tongue could reveal much about your overall health, with doctors suggesting that a simple tongue test can be indicative of underlying health conditions and may alert you when it’s time to consult your GP. TikTok was the platform chosen by Dr Anis Khalaf, who specialises in Traditional Chinese Medicine, to share his insights.

He explained that there are four main aspects to consider while examining the tongue, showcasing this on his @acupuncturefit account. Chinese medicine practitioners believe the appearance of the tongue holds important clues to your health, he stated.

He continued: They look at four factors – colour, shape, coating and moisture… For instance, if you have blood stagnation, your tongue might have a purplish hue with dark spots. Someone with too much heat might have a red tip tongue with a thin yellow coating in the middle.

Adding his voice to the matter, Dr Lawrence Cunningham, a UK Care Guide GP, pointed out other potential warning signals the tongue may give off that could suggest internal health problems. He cited: I’ve seen that certain signs on the tongue can indeed suggest underlying health issues., reports the Mirror.

Grantchester Welcomes Charismatic New Vicar in Season 9, UK

LONDON, ENGLAND – As a genre, the cozy murder mystery eschews graphic violence in favor of something less macabre despite the crime in question: the careful piecing together of a puzzle. A subgenre particular to England involves the clergy in all this research in one way or another. Grantchester (on PBS Masterpiece) pairs a vicar and a police detective, and like the similarly themed British imports Father Brown and Sister Boniface, these shows are all set in the mid-20th century. For what? Beats me. Now in its ninth season, Grantchester has a new vicar. That’s very good news.

The show had become increasingly boring in recent years. But with Rishi Nair as Alfie, the new man with the collar beginning with episode 3, there’s suddenly spirit and life in this series (renewed for another season earlier this week). Alfie is self-possessed and vigilant, but also dashing; Nair holds the screen with real charisma. Ten minutes after his first appearance, he took off his shirt and I admitted to laughing. The church may be one of the main locations, but the role has always been assigned with sex appeal in mind.

Nair brings a certain style and panache that was otherwise lacking with Tom Brittney as the previous vicar, named Will, who had become a self-pitying bore (ditto for the vicar he replaced, played by James Norton). So here we are on Vicar #3 and the series is self-aware enough to poke fun at the idea that each The vicar would like to solve crimes with warmly gruff police detective Geordie Keating (Robson Green).

Once Will leaves, Geordie is lost and morose. So he timidly approaches Alfie at the pub: I’ve already come to your predecessors to ask for help. Alfie takes a sip of his beer, impassive. Geordie insisted: I need your help with a case, will you help me or not? No, comes the answer. But ultimately, curiosity gets the better of Alfie and he succumbs.

US Lawmakers Meet Dalai Lama in India, Signaling Shift in Tibet-China Policy

The visit by US lawmakers to meet the Dalai Lama in India marks a significant moment in the on-going Tibet-China dispute. This gesture, coupled with the Promoting a Resolution to the Tibet-China Dispute Bill passed by the US Congress, signals a shift in US policy that could have profound implications for Sino-American relations and the future of Tibetan autonomy. For decades, the Dalai Lama has been a symbol of peaceful resistance and spiritual resilience. His exile from Tibet in 1959 and his subsequent life in India have highlighted the struggles of the Tibetan people under Chinese rule.

The meeting between the Dalai Lama and influential US lawmakers, including Mr Michael McCaul and Ms Nancy Pelosi, underscores a renewed commitment from Washington to support Tibetan rights and challenge Beijing’s heavy-handed policies in the region. China’s insistence on controlling the succession of the Dalai Lama illustrates its broader strategy of exerting influence over Tibetan Buddhism and suppressing any form of dissent. Beijing’s stance that its atheist leaders should approve the Dalai Lama’s successor is not only an affront to Tibetan spiritual traditions but also a clear attempt to legitimise its rule over Tibet. The Dalai Lama’s suggestion that his successor might be found in India further complicates China’s narrative and asserts Tibetan agency in spiritual matters.

The Resolve Tibet Bill is a legislative milestone that sends a clear message to Beijing that the international community, led by the United States, is no longer willing to passively accept China’s dominance over Tibet. If President Joe Biden signs this bill into law, it would represent a significant departure from the longstanding US policy of recognizing Tibet as part of China. Such a move would undoubtedly escalate tensions between the two superpowers, but it would also reaffirm America’s commitment to human rights and self-determination. India’s role in this geopolitical drama is also noteworthy. As the host country of the Dalai Lama and home to a substantial Tibetan exile community, India has a vested interest in the outcome of the Tibet-China dispute.

The strained relationship between India and China, particularly following the 2020 border clashes, adds another layer of complexity. Strengthening ties with the US and supporting the Tibetan cause aligns with India’s strategic interests and its efforts to counterbalance China’s growing influence in the region. This renewed focus on Tibet by US lawmakers could set a precedent for other countries to adopt similar policies, creating a broader coalition advocating for Tibetan rights. The global community’s increased attention on Tibet might pressure Beijing to reconsider its hard-line approach and engage in meaningful negotiations with Tibetan leaders. However, it is crucial to recognize that the Dalai Lama has consistently advocated for genuine autonomy rather than outright independence for Tibet. This middle way approach seeks to preserve Tibet’s cultural and religious identity while remaining within the framework of the Chinese state.

Missouri AG Sues New York Over Lawfare on Trump Campaign, US

Andrew Bailey, attorney general for the state of Missouri, announced on Thursday that his office will be suing the state of New York for its lawfare against former President Donald Trump.

I will be filing suit against the State of New York for their direct attack on our democratic process through unconstitutional lawfare against President Trump. It’s time to restore the rule of law, Bailey announced.

We have to fight back against a rogue prosecutor who is trying to take a presidential candidate off the campaign trail. It sabotages Missourians’ right to a free and fair election, he added.

In May, a 12-person jury in Manhattan found the former president guilty on 34 counts for falsifying records to pay off porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election. The former president will likely appeal his conviction, which may or may not be overturned before the November election.

Prior to the former president’s conviction, Bailey said in May that his office demanded the Department of Justice (DOJ) turn over communications relating to the illicit prosecutions of President Trump.

I am demanding the DOJ turn over communications relating to the illicit prosecutions of President Trump. This includes communications between the DOJ and Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, New York AG Leticia James, and Fulton County DA Fani Willis, he said.

Thanks to evidence that has come to light, my office has reason to believe Biden’s corrupt Department of Justice is the headquarters of the illicit prosecutions against President Trump, he added.

Bailey said the investigations into Trump appear to have been conducted in coordination with the Department of Justice, citing the move of the third-highest ranking member of the Department of Justice, Matthew Colangelo, to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office in order to prosecute President Trump in December 2022.

In addition, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg worked alongside New York Attorney General Letitia James in pursuing civil litigation against former President Trump, using that experience as a springboard from which to campaign for his current position, noted Bailey.

During that campaign, Bragg promised ‘if elected, [he] would go after Trump.’ Once he won election, he pledged ‘to personally focus on the high-profile probe into former President Donald Trump’s business practices,’ he added.

According to Fox News, Bailey requested the communications through the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).
