It is the invention that saves us from the crisis – a television that produces electricity! The ingenious idea comes from the inventor Maxwell Chikumbutso. But there is a catch: the genius comes from Africa. And that is why the groundbreaking technology does not catch on.

That is the story that ARD journalist Jana Genth told the licence fee payers in a Tagesschau report. Apparently no one in the editorial department of the public broadcaster noticed that it was only the fairy tale of a fraudster. Presumably the fear of being considered a racist was too great.

The “Tagesschau” reports online about a television that is supposed to generate energy autonomously and its alleged inventor. After criticism, the contribution is withdrawn. The protagonist, however, has not attracted negative attention for the first time.

Imagine a television that does not consume electricity, but generates it. And which, when switched off, even serves as a power source for other electronic devices. Completely autonomous, through a conversion of radio waves. Sounds too good to be true? It probably is. There is no confirmation that this works as stated at the beginning.

Nevertheless, the “Tagesschau” reported on its website last week with the headline “The television that generates energy” about the device and its alleged inventor Maxwell Chikumbutso. An ARD Africa correspondent apparently had the device demonstrated and explained and then made a contribution out of it. The device alone on the table in front of its alleged inventor is already suspicious: It is obviously not a prototype, but a professionally designed and produced high-end television. On the Instagram channel of his alleged company Saith Tech Group, Maxwell Chikumbutso writes that it is a converted Samsung device. Well, if so, the technology is so tiny that it fits in the original case and the device shows no traces of machining.

“Tagesschau” contribution: The alleged inventor has already attracted negative attention

The “Tagesschau” article goes on to say that the technology was tested by researchers from the USA and that its function was confirmed. By whom and when exactly remains open. The author later admitted on Twitter: “Despite all my inquiries, I have not been able to get in touch with scientists from the USA who, according to Maxwell Chikumbutso, should have tested and verified his alleged invention”. Nevertheless, the contribution was published and only withdrawn after criticism.

Other alleged inventions by the protagonist were also praised in the text: “Street lighting that is no longer powered by solar power but by radio waves – also an invention by Chikumbutso. They already shine in Mexico and North America,” it says. Again, without further information, where exactly the alleged lanterns should burn.

Regardless of your own understanding of physics and electrical engineering: It would have been easy to find out that the name Maxwell Chikumbutso requires care. The man from Zimbabwe attracted attention a few years ago with a very similar story: At that time he wanted to have invented an electric car that didn’t have to be charged. The claim was debunked as false by the US fact checkers from “AP” and “Snopes”, among others. The domain saithgroup.com of Chikumbutso’s alleged company is now for sale. However, their alleged innovations and events continue to be advertised on Instagram – obviously in search of investors.

However, technologies for the self-sufficient use of energy from the environment – ​​including electromagnetic waves – are not complete nonsense. They are being researched and developed. “Energy Harvesting” is the name of the principle, which is described in more detail on the website of the Fraunhofer Institute. However, as it says there, “to supply small electronic consumers”. TV sets or even cars do not fall into this category.

It was more than a symbolic gesture: At a meeting in Uzbekistan, Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin and Chinese head of state and party Xi Jinping swore by the “boundless friendship” between their two countries. They underscored the common goal of a new world order not dominated by the West.

The meeting took place on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) summit, which, in addition to China and Russia, also includes India, Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan. Iran is in the process of being admitted, while Saudi Arabia, Qatar and NATO member Turkey have associated status. Russia and China want to develop the organization into a counterpoint to western-dominated alliances – both economically and militarily.

In the run-up to the summit, China expressed its understanding of Russia’s war in Ukraine in view of the alliance against the US. China’s head of parliament Li Zhanshu, Beijing’s number three, recently declared in Moscow that China supported Russia’s interests, “especially in the situation in Ukraine”.

“We see that the USA and its NATO allies are expanding their presence near the Russian border which seriously endangers national security and the lives of Russian citizens.” Beijing “fully understands the necessity of all measures taken by Russia aimed at protecting its core interests”.

“China is willing to make efforts with Russia to assume the role of great powers, and play a guiding role to inject stability and positive energy into a world rocked by social turmoil,” Xi declared during a leaders’ summit at the SCO.

In Uzbekistan, in return, Putin praised Xi’s “balanced” stance on the Ukraine war. He hoped that the meeting – the first of the two since the outbreak of war – would give new impetus to deepening the Russian-Chinese partnership.

Current moves to create a unipolar world “have recently taken an absolutely ugly form that the overwhelming majority of the planet’s nations find unacceptable,” Putin said. Russia and China “stand together for a just, democratic, multipolar world order based on international law and the central role of the UN. And not on any rules that someone has invented and tries to impose on others without even explaining what they are,” Putin added.

In this context, the head of the Kremlin particularly praised the SCO, which was established in 2001 as a Chinese initiative. Today it is “a forum for constructive and creative cooperation”. “It is now the largest regional organization in the world, uniting a vast geographic area and about half the population of our planet,” Putin said.

Xi, in turn, hailed Putin as an “old friend” alluding to the Taiwan conflict. In this regard, Putin emphasized that his country supports China’s “one-country policy” and rejected Western “provocations”.

To coincide with the statements by Russian and Chinese leaders in Samarkand, Russia’s natural gas exports to the European Union this year are expected to decline by 50 billion cubic meters (bcm), Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on Thursday. That is one-third of last year’s volumes as a result of US-imposed sanctions.

“According to estimates currently in the Ministry of Energy, exports will decrease by about 50 billion cubic meters,” Novak told Russian news agency Interfax. This is not good news for the struggling EU.

TASS news agency reported that the Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline may become a de facto replacement for Russia’s Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. Deputy Prime Minister Novak was also interviewed by the Rossiya-1 TV channel on this issue. “Well, in fact, yes,” he said when asked whether the Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline could become a replacement for Nord Stream 2. Novak recalled that the Power of Siberia-2 project was being discussed “for a capacity of 50 billion” cubic meters of gas.

“Fatherland is fundamental, Family is fundamental, and religious identity is also fundamental.”

During a debate on an Italian talk show, the leader of the anti-mass immigration party Fratelli d’Italia (Brothers of Italy) and a member of the Italian Chamber of Deputies, Giorgia Meloni, defended her party’s support of the famous motto, God, Country, and Family. Italy’s former left-wing Prime Minster, Enrico Letta, believes the concept is outdated. Meloni, however, stressed, “Fatherland is fundamental, Family is fundamental, and religious identity is also fundamental.”

“Look, I consider myself a conservative. Let’s not forget that the motto “God, Fatherland, and Family” was thought up by Mazzini. I don’t think it clashes with modernity. What does that mean? It means to defend an identity, which is the identity of our society, a European identity,” explained Meloni.

She continued, “It means that the family is the founding core of our society, the most important social safety net we have. It means that the fatherland is the identity that brings us together.”

Meloni also spoke of the importance of Christians being proud and open about their identities:

I don’t believe we ought to hide our identity, in order to respect others. Which is what leftists believe. It is paradoxical to remove crucifixes from our classrooms, while accepting that entire European neighborhoods have been taken over by Islamic sharia. I don’t get it, honestly.

The leader, predicted to become Italy’s next prime minister under a new conservative coalition government, reminded the audience that “Christian values have molded our civilization.”

TERRIFYING footage shows the moment a man fought several police officers at once after already stabbing two.

And the assailant was only tackled to the ground after a hero passerby threw a bike at him to stop the rampage.

The “crazy” man was surrounded by at least six policemen trying to control him with their batons and warning him to “stay where you are” after they pushed him to the ground.

But as they surrounded him he leapt up and started frantically throwing his hands and attempting to punch any officer in his path. 

Another officer then Tasered him with little impact before a member of the public threw the bike down on him from overhead.

He then appeared to kick the man before police told him to stop.

A young female police officer suffered a serious stab wound to her arm which may be life-changing in this morning’s 6am attack.

And a male officer was stabbed three times in the neck and once in the chest in Leicester Square, West London, but is expected to make a full recovery.

Shocking video footage showed the wounded male officer shirtless and being helped by colleagues afterwards, with one of them using his hand to stem blood pouring from his neck.

More footage showed the male suspect being pinned on the ground by police after he had been brought under control.

The suspect was taken to hospital for injuries and is being kept under armed guard today.

A long-handled bloody weapon with a blade was seen lying on the pavement following the attack as cops tried to push back on-lookers and clear the area. The Sun

An illegal migrant. Syrian. Mid-30s. With wife and small child. Picked up on August 28 in Nickelsdorf. Sad daily routine for the police in the border regions. Thus one case of many. What follows is an automatism prescribed by law. Entry registration, practised thousands of times, which every “stranger” has to go through. Fingerprints are taken, personal details are recorded, photos are taken for documentation purposes. Of course, there is no exception for this family either.

But the Syrian does not like the control. He protests loudly. Becomes angry. He shouts. Refuses to give fingerprints. Doesn’t see what the point is. Gestures. All attempts at explanation on the part of the executive are met with no understanding. On the contrary. The illegal migrant is on the rampage. He cannot be calmed down. As the situation in the data reception centre is in danger of escalating, six police officers take a stand. They stay in the background, but on standby, just in case. Better safe than sorry. And a good thing, as it would later turn out.

Because when the Syrian sees that his wife is to lift the veil, ergo take it off, as part of the entry documentation, there is no stopping the patriarchally oriented man. The misogynist goes completely crazy. He attacks the executive officers. Beats them with his fist. The police officers literally have to do all they can to subdue the illegal migrant. During this scuffle, the perpetrator bites and injures a uniformed officer on the finger.

The violent man was tried in room 7 of the Eisenstadt Regional Court. The prosecutor accused the defendant of “resisting arrest and grievous bodily harm”. This was anything but a “trivial offence”. The Syrian defendant claimed that he had not known what fingerprints were to be taken for or what the entry formalities were supposed to be good for. He confessed to the charges and apologised. He was also sorry for what had happened. That was essentially it.

Surprisingly, the female judge did not explicitly question the course of events. How the illegal migrant could dare to attack and hit police officers or even injure one of them. Nor did he have to explain his escalation of violence, his excess, in any way. Instead, the perpetrator was able to describe in detail that he was confused because he had already been sitting in a car for 13 hours, ergo had been dragged. The police were not good to him. Because his mouth was covered. And he was handcuffed… Then he fell unconscious and only woke up in hospital. That’s all he remembers.

The police officer who suffered the finger bite also had to be taken to hospital. On the witness stand, however, he was not questioned about the incident itself. Not in any way. No “how did the injury occur? How did the fight happen? How did it play out on the ground?” Nothing. Because the perpetrator confessed, the judge said, she only wanted to know if the police officer was seeking compensation for pain and suffering: “My wound was treated in hospital, and I also had to take antibiotics. 500 euros would be appropriate.” Then the police officer said, “I was injured, but I did not go on sick leave, but immediately resumed my duties at the border.” That was the end of his questioning.

The public prosecutor demanded a punishment appropriate to the guilt and offence. The Syrian’s defence lawyer demanded a lenient sentence. Among other things, he stated that his client had suffered a culture shock in Austria and had therefore reacted wrongly. The illegal migrant explained: “Originally I wanted to travel to England. But now I want to stay in Austria. God willing. Because many people have recommended that I stay here!”
Short and sweet the judge’s verdict. Guilty. 6 months imprisonment. Probation for three years. Plus payment of 500 euros to the injured police officer. In her reasoning, she explained that because of the previous orderly lifestyle, the confession and the short time already served in prison, the sentence was only to be suspended. And the offender should be released immediately. “Go and get your things. All the best,” the chairwoman told the Syrian, who accepted the sentence. The prosecutor had a different opinion. She made no statement. Therefore the sentence has not become final.

In Lower Austria, an eleven-year-old boy was beaten up by three classmates on Tuesday morning. He had to be taken to hospital.

In a secondary school in Haag, an eleven-year-old boy accidentally knocked over a drinking bottle while playing tag during the big break. According to a report by heute.at, he had bumped into a table, which is why the bottle fell down.

Although he immediately apologised to the twelve-year-old bottle owner and picked up the bottle, he is said to have immediately suffered verbal abuse and a punch in the face. The Syrian’s fourteen-year-old brother and a fifteen-year-old friend then allegedly joined in. All three allegedly beat up the much smaller and inferior student.

It was only when the supervisor and other pupils came to the scene that the quarrel was said to have ended. The eleven-year-old was taken to hospital with severe bruises on his left hand and pain on his chin and chest.

The trio was suspended from school until the beginning of October. The victim’s mother filed a criminal complaint. It is said to be not the first incident involving the three Syrians.

A shocking incident has come to the fore in the Lakhimpur Kheri district of Uttar Pradesh where two men allegedly barged into the house of an 18-year-old girl and attempted to rape her before attacking her with a sharp instrument and gravely injuring her. The girl died 4 days later while undergoing treatment in a hospital.

The matter pertains to the Musepur village of Bhira Kotwali area of ​​Lakhimpur Kheri. The victim’s family allege that on September 12, while their 18-year-old daughter was alone at home, Salimuddin alias Salim and Asif, two local men, entered the house and attempted to rape her. However, the girl resisted the rape attempt. Failing in their attempt, they attacked the girl with a sharp object and fled the scene.

The mother stated that immediately after the incident, she went to the police station and filed a complaint. According to the complaint, the accused attempted to rape and molest her daughter. However, the police simply filed an FIR under minor provisions, with no mention of rape or assault. According to reports, the culprits were arrested by the police but they were sent to jail under section 151 of the IPC, which relates to the minor offence of knowingly joining or continuing in an assembly of five or more persons after it has been commanded to disperse.

After the girl died on September 16, her family members brought her corpse home from the hospital. When the police came to know about her death, they rushed to her home to retrieve her body for a post-mortem examination. However, the family refused to hand up the body. The SHO of the local police station, including the ADM and Additional SP, spent a long time clarifying everything to the victim’s family before they handed over the body. The body of the girl was sent to the district headquarters in Lakhimpur Kheri for a post-mortem examination by police.

Following the incident, police forces have been deployed in the area. Top police officials have also arrived in the area to ensure that situation does not worsen. In relation to the entire incident, SP Sanjeev Suman stated that there was a fight on September 12th. “The family members filed the complaint. The girl has now died. The charges in the case are being strengthened. The entire incident will be investigated,” he stated.

The brutal rape and murder of the two Dalit minor girls, aged 15 and 17, by six men this week sent tremors through the state. The crime took place on Wednesday when two suspects called Sohail and Junaid brutally raped the two Dalit girls after dragging them to a sugarcane field.

Later, the girls were killed and hung by their dupattas from a tree. According to reports, other suspects assisted the pair in hanging the girls from the tree and erasing the evidence. Six people were detained by the Uttar Pradesh Police in connection with the case namely Junaid, Sohail, Arif, Hafiz, Karimuddin, and Chhotu (Gautam).

Lakhimpur Kheri: 18-year-old girl dies after Salim and Asif barge into her house, attack her after failing to rape

A man who rushed out of a queue of mourners to attack the Queen’s coffin as it lies in state at Westminster Hall was slammed to the ground and dragged from the premises by police and parliamentary security.

The attacker, a black-haired, dark-skinned man still unidentified as of the time of publication, is reported to have bowled over a seven-year-old girl as he dashed at the catafalque bearing the Queen’s coffin.

Eyewitnesses say he laid his hands upon the casket and tugged at the Royal Standard draped over it before being tackled to the flagstones of the 900-year-old hall by fast-moving police constables in the traditional helmets and white gloves reserved for important ceremonial duties.

“Around 22:00 on Friday 16 September officers from the Met’s Parliamentary and Diplomatic Protection Command detained a man in Westminster Hall following a disturbance,” a spokesman for the Metropolitan Police confirmed.

A spokesman for Parliament added that the estate was “aware of an incident in Westminster Hall, in which a member of the public moved out of the queue and towards the catafalque” and that they had “been removed from the hall and the queue restarted with minimal disruption.”

Video footage of the man being dragged from Westminster Hall shows the police being assisted by a man in formal dress — one of Parliament’s doorkeepers, who have helped provide parliamentary security for hundreds of years.

“If you’re going to muck about at Parliament, you want to be tackled by the police, not the doorkeepers — they’ll knock you out. The police would be far more gentle,” an insider told Breitbart London.

This guy was arrested for attempting to grab the Queen’s coffin at Westminster Hall.

An excellent example of robust, quick policing here. Disrupters from Stop Oil and XR should be dealt with in the same way! pic.twitter.com/ggKhKLFSOI

Also guarding the Queen’s coffin were men of the King’s Body Guard of the Yeomen of the Guard, wearing their famous Beefeater uniforms and carrying partisans, His Majesty’s Body Guard of the Honourable Corps of Gentlemen at Arms, wearing plumed helmets and carrying centuries-old battle-axes, and the Welsh Guards, wearing the iconic bearskins of the Foot Guards regiments and carrying swords.

In an impressive show of discipline, none appeared to move a muscle as the man rushed the catafalque — likely to his good fortune, given the Welsh Guards, in particular, are active fighting soldiers, fiercely loyal to their former Colonel-in-Chief, as the Queen was.

While it is guards’ standing orders with respect to tackling members of the public are currently unknown, a member of the Breitbart London team who attended the lying in state was surprised to note that, while the Yeomen of the Guard furthest from the Queen had adopted an attitude of sombre mourning, their eyes carefully scrutinised everyone approaching the late monarch, evidently assessing whether or not they posed a threat.

The incident was highly upsetting for those who had lined up for hours to pay their respects, and in particular to the young girl who was bulldozed by the man as he made his mad dash.

“A person decided they were going to push my seven-year-old niece out the way, run up to the coffin, lift up the standard and try to do I don’t know what. She was grabbed out the way and the police had him within two seconds,” said Tracey Holland, the aunt of the girl, in comments to the press.

Ms Holland said her niece, Darcy, had been in the queue for some 15 hours, and was “not at all” OK after their long-awaited opportunity to pay their respects was marred by the distressing incident.

A rapper calls for violence against police officers, an activist posts: "Every cop is a pig". Both were working for an educational project to teach Berlin schoolchildren about migration history. Funding from the federal government: half a million euros.

Ilhan44 wears a black cap with a curved visor, he has his eyes wide open, gesticulates wildly. The footage of the young man is repeatedly interrupted by scenes showing riots between demonstrators and police officers.
Ilhan44 raps, “Fuck a cop, hit him on the head, Dikka and then run, Lure him into the blocks, Trap him all with the gang, Throw the Molotovs, Give the little piggy a present, Look he ain’t no god, What use is the armour when he’s on fire?”

The music video for the anti-police song “Gaijin” has around 10,000 views on Youtube. Anyone who sees the sombre clip will find it hard to imagine that Ilhan44 was a team member of an educational project in real life – and worked with children and young people in Berlin schools, funded by the German government.

“Kiez:Story” is the name of the project, which has received more than 530,000 euros from the “Demokratie Leben” programme of the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs over the past three years. The aim of the model project is “to motivate young people to deal with the stories of their families and with the traces of migration in their social space”, it says on the website of “Demokratie Leben” about “Kiez:Story”. The project is supported by the Berlin-based association Ufuq.

Ilhan44, whose real name is Ilhan H., worked here as a “teamer”. He is still listed on the website of “Kiez:Story”. It is not known when he started working there. Only this much can be found out: An archived version of the website from May 2021 does not yet show Ilhan H. as a staff member. From this we can conclude: He was active for the project even after the release of the song “Gaijin” in March 2021. His attitude towards the executive could therefore have been known to those responsible.
According to information on the website, H. worked at the Walter Gropius School in Neukölln, and his “speciality” was rap.

When asked, Ufuq co-manager Canan Korucu explained that H. was no longer working for the project. In any case, all the “young team members” are not employed by the organisation, but work as freelancers on a fee basis. “We find the statements quoted by you disturbing and worrying,” Korucu said. They contradict the self-image of the association as well as the demands on political education. And they are not compatible with the educational goals and standards of the project.
The rapper himself has spoken out about his controversial song in the past. He told the rap magazine “Mzee” that his lyrics were not meant literally. The line “Hit him on the head” is more like the saying “hit him on the head”. Nevertheless, Ilhan H. said he found “violence towards the executive justified”. After all, “every interaction” with the police is “somehow unpleasant”. “Even if the officers are nice and try to behave themselves.

Violence against the police is for Ilhan44 a recurring motif. The cover of his EP “110”, released last October, features a skull drawn on a sword. Maggots crawl in the eye sockets of the skull. The skeleton is wearing a police cap.

Another former team member of “Kiez:Story” has attracted attention in recent days with hate speech against the police. The activist, who belongs to the left-wing alliance Migrantifa in Berlin and calls herself a freelance journalist, wrote on Instagram about police violence: “ACAB means every cop is a pig because Germany is a pig. Abolitionism means take off the uniform and kill the cop in your head before you want to talk about justice and being human. (…) Fuck this state and its henchmen.” She is still listed as a team member on the “Kiez:Story” website.

The activist is also no longer working for “Kiez:Story”, Korucu affirms. Statements like the ones quoted were never made in the context of the project – “neither during the pedagogical work with young people nor in the course of the qualification”. An evaluation accompanying the project guarantees compliance with pedagogical standards.

In response to a question, the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs initially only stated that the rapper Ilhan H. and the activist were “not employed within the framework of the project “Kiez:Story”, which is funded by the federal programme ” Live Democracy! ” For the rest, the following applies to all initiatives funded with federal money: “All funding recipients support the free democratic basic order.
After a request for reconsideration, it says: Both had been employed on a fee basis in the project at least in 2021 and/or 2020. It was the responsibility of the grant recipient to ensure that its employees were committed to the democratic constitutional order.
