A woman (31 at the time) travelled with her husband (54, both German with a migration background) to Dubai for their honeymoon in 2019. However, this honeymoon had little to do with love. The husband, a gynaecologist by profession, wanted to have sex with his newlywed. But it did not work out. He then allegedly removed a piece of the hymen with scissors.
Now the case is being brought before the Regional Court of Braunschweig, where the public prosecutor is accusing the doctor of mutilating female genitalia and causing grievous bodily harm. According to the indictment, the man had threatened divorce, which would have led to cultural ostracism and exclusion for the woman. Out of fear of this, she let the crime go on.
The trial starts on November 6, the verdict is expected at the end of November.
In the run-up to the Argentinean presidential elections, all Globalist media focused on speculating about the ‘danger’ posed by the conservative populism from the libertarian outside Javier Milei who was leading in all the polls.
However, after the election’s first round, as the political forces realign for the run-up vote in November, it becomes clear that other conservative players see clearly that the risk for Argentina is the permanence of the present Peronist liberal political class.
‘Most voted’ in the first round, Sergio Massa is the – wait for it – Economy minister that took the once-proud south American country to over 140% inflation rate, and left as much as 40% of the population below the poverty line.
Candidate Patricia Bullrich, who placed third in Sunday’s election, came out and endorsed Javier Milei, in a move that reignites Milei’s chances.
The U.K. Labour Party’s shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves has been accused of plagiarism after an analysis of her new book by the Financial Times newspaper found more than 20 examples of copied and pasted material derived from other sources without credit.
“The Women Who Made Modern Economics,” published earlier this month by the lawmaker who would lead the U.K. Treasury should Labour win the next general election, incorporated material from online blogs, Wikipedia, The Guardian newspaper, and fellow Labour MP Hilary Benn, the FT’s news editor Tom Braithwaite revealed on X.
“More than 20 examples were spotted by Financial Times reporters using manual checks rather than plagiarism detection software,” reported the newspaper, suggesting many more extracts could have been lifted from other outlets upon further examination.
The analysis cites whole paragraphs lifted from Wikipedia describing the lives of female economists Reeves argues helped to shape economic policy in the modern world, including the work of economist Beatrice Webb, who co-founded the London School of Economics, and Joan Robinson, an economist at Cambridge University.
Other media outlets have highlighted that the book, which gives an insight into Reeves’ economic policies should she ever be handed the keys to 11 Downing Street, ironically laments that notable women of the past were not given due credit for their work.
Conservative Party Chairman Greg Hands called the accusations “potentially very serious” and urged the Labour shadow chancellor to “explain herself urgently.”
He highlighted that three German cabinet ministers have been forced to resign in the last decade for allegations of plagiarism, referencing the Guttenberg scandal whereby former German Defense Minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg was forced to step down over plagiarism in his doctoral dissertation.
The book’s publisher, Basic Books, acknowledged that extracts taken from elsewhere were not properly credited.
“When factual sentences were taken from primary sources, they should have been rewritten and properly referenced. We acknowledge this did not happen in every case,” read a statement from the publisher.
A spokesperson for Reeves told the FT: “We strongly refute the accusation that has been put to us by this newspaper.” They claimed the oversights in referencing other work were “inadvertent mistakes” that would be “rectified in future reprints.”
In an interview with El Debate, Iván Vélez, director of the conservative think tank La Fundación para la Defensa de la Nación Española (DENAES), warned that Spain is facing a “true head-on threat” and called on all Spaniards to come out, regardless of where they fall on the political spectrum.
“We believe that it is a very serious situation that we face, and it is not the time for division but to join forces to face a situation that we should never have reached,” he added.
DENAES is organizing the protest in the Plaza de Colón in Madrid. Other conservative groups have already pledged to join, including the cultural platforms Pie En Pared, directed by Juan Carlos Girauta, and NEOS, founded by Jaime Mayor Oreja and María San Gil.
After the center-right failed to form a government in September following disappointing elections in July, Acting Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez is in a better position to maintain his premiership through a political alliance of leftist parties and Catalan and Basque nationalist parties. These parties are calling for an amnesty for leaders of the illegal 2017 referendum on Catalan independence, and Madrid’s blessing for a new, legal referendum.
Sunday’s protest seeks to “say no to the amnesty and the coup planned by Sánchez.”
Organizers hope to bring together leaders of diverse political parties including VOX, the center-right Partido Popular, and pro-Spanish regional parties such as Unión Del Pueblo De Navarra and Foro Asturias.
“What is being defended here is democracy, the unity of Spain, and the Constitution,” Girautoa also told El Debate.
Organizers have emphasized that Sunday’s protest is not a manifestation of the political Right but a call to all Spaniards to defend their country.
Under the motto “290 all to Colón,” VOX President Santiago Abascal has confirmed his attendance and called for a “permanent mobilization” against Sánchez and separatist leaders.
“The Spanish people have the right and the duty to defend themselves from the blow to equality, the rule of law, and the nation that Sánchez is preparing,” he has posted on social media.
The French Government coalition is split over its upcoming immigration bill.
With only a few days before it goes to parliament, Macron’s supporters are being besieged by both the left- and right-wing oppositions, which are also divided within themselves.
The heart of the dispute lies in Article 3 of the bill, which seeks to give an official or “regularised” status to illegal immigrants in vital sectors of the economy.
Controversy surrounds a clandestine dinner French Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne had with the leader of the centre-right Les Républicains. During it, Borne allegedly suggested deleting the contentious Article 3 in exchange for the centre-right’s support, according to a leak from Le Parisien.
The leak contradicts assurances made by interior minister Gérald Darmanin to French President Emmanuelle Macron’s centrist Renaissance party, that the government may reform Article 3 but would keep it.
“Who should we believe? Gérald Darmanin, who tells us that he is attached to article 3, or the comments reported by Élisabeth Borne in Le Parisien?,” asked Élodie Jacquier-Laforge, a leading member of the government’s coalition partner the MoDem (Democratic Movement) party.
“Article 3 must be rewritten, but there is no question of deleting it,” the Prime Minister’s office said, apparently trying to reassure other deputies.
This has done little to discourage the left-wing, pro-immigration forces from rallying and issuing warnings to the government.
A group of left-wing Macronist MPs known as the Social Amicale has penned a letter to Borne, expressing their unwavering commitment to the bill’s original text. They emphasised what they said was the importance of retaining Article 3 and demanded a meeting to discuss their concerns, further elevating the stakes.
In September, a coalition of MPs signed an open letter to French paper Libération, demanding the regularisation of illegal immigrants. “We carry a humanist and concrete project,” they wrote, saying that without illegal migrants, “entire sections of our country could not function”.
While left-wing Macronists see this as a pivotal step toward more open immigration policies, the right-wing adamantly opposes any relaxation of labour immigration.
This division continues as the clock is running down and the bill is set to face a Senate with a slim majority under right-wing control. Finding common ground seems to many to be next to impossible and there appears to be progress from the earlier deadlock in September.
Speaking to Le Figaro, one government advisor said this latest “imbroglio” was “difficult to understand”, fearing that the centrist government was engaged in “a fool’s game” by trying to find a compromise between Left and Right.
BBC’s popular children’s news programme “Newsround” is now promoting “white privilege” and other controversial, radical ideologies. Our Senior Fellow Rafe Heydel-Mankoo told Talk TV that schools are forbidden from teaching contested ideologies to children, so why is our national broadcaster doing so? He also points out that they have interviewed a well-known race activist, Kehinde Andrews, without any attempt to show impartiality by presenting the other, mainstream, side of the argument.
Remember the British policewoman who presided over an autistic teen being manhandled and hauled off to jail in tears for allegedly committing homophobia by observing that she looked like her lesbian nana? This identity politics answer to a law enforcement officer is back in the news:
Note that the other officers are just standing around, seeing no need to pepper spray civilians in the face.
Not only does she help authorities meet gender quotas, not only is she apparently a belligerent hypersensitive lesbian, but she is also neurodivergent — i.e., crazy as an outhouse rat. She will go far as a public employee.
A BBC plaque celebrating the “first black Briton” has been removed because scientific evidence shows she was not African in origin.
The sign honouring the 1,800-year-old remains of “Beachy Head Lady”, a female said to be of African origin, was erected in an East Sussex village as part of the 2016 Black and British series fronted by Prof David Olusoga, the historian.
The Telegraph can reveal that the plaque celebrating what a BBC documentary billed as the earliest “black Briton” has now been removed.
DNA analysis by The Francis Crick Institute has found that Beachy Head Lady’s origins were in “southern Europe – most likely Cyprus”, according to an article by the researcher who first studied her remains.
Parish councillors in the village of East Dean, where archaeologists discovered the remains of Beachy Head Lady, voted to take down the plaque that had been installed at a cricket pavilion.
The BBC History project plaque, now understood to be in storage at the cricket club, read: “The remains of Beachy Head Woman were found near this site. Of African origin, she lived in East Sussex 2nd-3rd century AD.”
The claim about her origins was made in Prof Olusoga’s documentary series Black and British: A Forgotten History, which told the story of the “enduring relationship between Britain and people whose origins lie in Africa”.
In episode one of the series, Beachy Head Lady was presented as “sub-Saharan African in origin” and the programme featured a reconstruction of her features.
Prof Olusoga remarked that “she’s a black Briton”, as Jo Seaman, an expert archaeologist, explained that her African origins and the age of her remains likely made her the “earliest black Briton”.
As part of the BBC series, plaques were installed to commemorate black Britons throughout history.
An article by Mr Seaman, a Beachy Head expert who carried out initial research into the remains, was updated in 2022 to include the note: “DNA analysis has since concluded that although she grew up in Eastbourne, the place of her ancestry is in southern Europe – most likely Cyprus.”
An online message from the Beachy Head Story, a dedicated visitors’ centre, also stated that: “The place of her ancestry is in southern Europe.”
Following a complaint by a resident of East Dean and Friston Parish in light of the research, the council tabled a motion to have the plaque removed in the autumn of 2022.
The children’s book by Nigerian-born British author Atinuke claimed that “every single British person comes from a migrant” but “the very first Britons were black”.
The book, published by Bloomsbury and promoted by Arts Council-funded literacy charity The Book Trust, further claimed that “Britain was a black country for more than 7,000 years before white people came, and during that time the most famous British monument was built, Stonehenge”.
Genetic studies have shown that the inhabitants of Britain in the period when Stonehenge was completed, around 2,500BC, were pale-skinned early farmers whose ancestors had spread from Anatolia.
Researchers have said it is difficult to know with certainty what the earlier hunter-gatherer inhabitants of Britain looked like.
A museum has removed the word “Christmas” from its annual festive celebration, instead choosing to rebrand itself as a “Winter Market”.
The Bowes Museum – founded by the late ancestors of the late Queen Mother – has been criticised for its “bonkers” decision.
It has been alleged that the “woke” move has been done to pull in more punters.
BBC Antiques Road Trip expert David Harper has called for the rebrand to be reversed.
He said the museum is taking the joy out of Christmas.
“What’s next? Are we going to cancel Santa, the reindeer, children wearing Christmas hats?” Harper told the Sun.
“Essentially, all you’ll be left with is a Wednesday market. This won’t stop until we stop it.
“We need to nip this in the bud, take control and be a bit braver.”
He ran a poll on social media asking what the museum should have called the market instead.
Over 300 people voted, with ‘Humbug Market’ receiving 66 per cent of the votes.
People left comments under the poll.
One person said: “Leave it as Christmas market, they should be ashamed of even considering changing it”.
Another said: “That is dreadful the question is WHY? and if I was around that area I wouldn’t bother with a new name because I for one wouldn’t be going to it.”
The museum’s director, Hannah fox, denied claims that they had cancelled Christmas.
She said: “We have a very popular seasonal programme of events of which the market is the centrepiece.
“It’s fabulous and everyone is welcome, however they celebrate over the festive season.”
The art gallery was founded by John Bowes, who was a distant relative of the late Queen Mother, in 1892.
A Wall Street Journal article published on Wednesday (25th October) indicates that weeks before Hamas’s attack on Israel, hundreds of Palestinian terrorists received “specialised combat training” in Iran.
The publication cited individuals familiar with the intelligence surrounding the 7th October Hamas massacre in Israel, which killed 1,400 Israelis, mostly civilians. As per the report, 500 terrorists from both Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad took part in training last month led by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Iran has been accused repeatedly by Israel of serving as a key force behind the organised Hamas attack. The terrorists, during the attack, succeeded in disabling the high-tech Gaza border fence and streamed across the border to carry out its devastating assault on nearby communities, including the kidnapping of at least 224 people.
Iran commended the Hamas attack but denied any involvement in the planning. According to the WSJ, Iranian Brig. Gen. Esmail Qaani, the chief of the Quds Force, participated in the IRGC-led training exercises. Hours before the report was released, IDF spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari publicly blamed Iran for assisting in the planning of the heinous act.
“Iran had directly aided Hamas before the war, with training, supplying weapons, money, and technological know-how. Even now, Iranian aid to Hamas continues in the form of intelligence and online incitement against the State of Israel,” the IDF spokesman said.
During the attack, terrorists from Hamas deployed drones to take down Israeli observation posts and high-tech monitoring equipment. Some also flew into Israel using para-gliders while others rode on motorbikes.
According to US officials, Iran has regularly trained jihadists in Iran and overseas, but there is no proof of widespread training before the attack. According to US officials and those knowledgeable with the intelligence, there is no evidence that Iran took training particularly to prepare for the events of 7th October.
Since the Hamas attack, Israel has carried out a massive air campaign, advancing on thousands of targets in Gaza. Israel is also planning a ground campaign in Gaza to counter Hamas. The country has stated that its goal is to demolish Hamas and terminate its authority in Gaza.

However, according to the Wall Street Journal, which cited senior Hamas and Hezbollah sources, the Quds Force helped plot the strike and committed to carry it out during a meeting with Hamas and Hezbollah commanders in Beirut on 2nd October. An adviser to Syria’s government and a European official have also confirmed Iran’s involvement.
According to an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps ‘scholar’ at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, Iran has long provided training to terrorists throughout the Middle East, including Gaza terrorists, Afghan mercenaries serving in Syria, Hezbollah troops from Lebanon, Shiites from Iraq, and the Houthis from Yemen.
This week, one of the hostages released by Hamas also confirmed that it seemed Hamas terrorists were well prepared for the situation. While she said that she had to face hell on Earth due to the terrorists, it seemed that the terrorists had planned and were prepared to abduct the Israelis.
After the attack by Hamas, Israel launched a counter-attack on Gaza last week. Ministry of Health in Gaza has reported that over 5,000 Palestinians have been killed so far in the counter-offensive.
