Investigators from the linked a attorney to a series of violent rapes in Boston after tracking down his relative's DNA on a commercial genealogy database. Matthew Nilo, 35, was arrested last week on suspicion of raping three women and sexually assaulting a fourth in 2007 and 2008. Police took samples from the , in Boston, at the time of the incidents and processed the glove of a fourth victim who poked her assailant in the eye while wearing the garment. All three matched the same profile, leading officers to believe that the same man committed each of the assaults. The FBI confirmed 15 years later that the DNA belonged to Nilo after comparing the samples to one from a glass he drank from at a corporate event, but there were multiple hurdles they had to first overcome. Matthew Nilo, 35, [https://kscripts.com/?s=denied%20attacking denied attacking] four women in Boston in 2008 and 2007 during his appearance in Suffolk Superior Court on Monday Police took samples from the three women who were raped in Terminal Street, in Boston, at the time of the incidents and processed the glove of a fourth victim who poked her assailant in the eye while wearing the garment The investigation initially stalled because the DNA obtained from each of the women failed to flag any potential matches on the federal CODIS system. Officers kept the case open, using the Sexual Assault Kit Initiative - a federal program designed to help process a backlog of rape kits - to reinvestigate the incidents. Boston Police Department doesn't have a backlog of rape kits but has instead used the initiative and a $2.5million federal grant to re-examine 'unsolved cases that present the greatest threat to public safety.' Cops requested the DNA be cross-referenced by the FBI using 'forensic investigative genetic genealogy' in October last year. Officers from the BPD submitted the DNA samples obtained from the three women to GEDMatch and Family Tree DNA, two of the only genealogy websites which allow law enforcement access to their databases. Because the databases are so small, the FBI could only search 'about two million people', meaning they had to either 'get lucky or be really skilled.' [https://www.medcheck-up.com/?s=Consumers Consumers] using the sites must consent before their information is shared with law enforcement, and they use the sites to trace their ancestry or locate other relatives. GEDMatch and Family Tree DNA then provide a list of relatives and the percentage of DNA they share with the sample submitted by the police - which led them to Nilo in April this year. The FBI confirmed 15 years later that the DNA belonged to Nilo after comparing the samples to one from a glass he drank from at a corporate event His fiance Laura [https://www.ft.com/search?q=Griffin Griffin] was seen gripping rosary beads during his court hearing in Suffolk Superior Court on Monday Pictures from Nilo's Facebook page show how he would have looked at the time of the assaults in 2007 and 2008 Unlike police DNA databases, those of commercial genealogy companies can search for up to one million DNA markers (using single-nucleotide polymorphisms, not STRs), creating a much wider pool of relatives to sift through. Historically law enforcement had to rely on federal and local DNA databases, which contain the profiles of people previously arrested. If a suspect had not been apprehended before, then their DNA would not be in the CODIS system, and they could not be identified. Once a suspect is identified through the genealogy companies, who provide names and how strong the match is, police then attempt to take a DNA sample to confirm a direct match. However, this often takes place surreptitiously, with officers tracking Nilo in New York for at least a month when he was identified as a suspect in April. Court documents show that the FBI was able to 'obtain various utensils and drinking glasses they watched the defendant use at a corporate event.' They obtained a DNA profile from one of the glasses, which they say matched the profile of the three rapes on Terminal Street. After obtaining a match from the glass, they then tested a sample found on the glove of the fourth woman - and 'determined that this profile was 314 times more likely to belong to Matthew Nilo than to any other male in the population' His fiancée gripped the religious beads throughout the hearing but did not say anything as she exited the court Once a suspect is identified through the genealogy companies, who provide names and how strong the match is, police then attempt to take a DNA sample to confirm a direct match PIctured: Nilo (center) with friends After obtaining a match from the glass, they tested a sample found on the glove of the fourth woman - and 'determined that this profile was 314 times more likely to belong to Nilo than to any other male in the population.' In the past 15 months, Boston Police Department has arrested six people for alleged rapes, using a $2.5 million federal grant to re-examine 'unsolved cases that present the greatest threat to public safety.' Former State Street Bank vice president Ivan Cheung was one of those arrested - with cops obtaining his DNA from a cigarette butt he discarded at South Bay Center. He is charged with raping two children and two women at knifepoint between 2003 and 2006. Irving Pierre was also arrested over the alleged rape of a 16-year-old girl and a woman in Roslindale in 2007 and 2013. They have also charged William Mancortes with attacking women while pretending to be a ride-share driver in 2017.

In the past 15 months, Boston Police Department has arrested six people for alleged rapes, using a $2.5 million federal grant to re-examine 'unsolved cases that present the greatest threat to public safety' Prosecutors said that all three women underwent a sexual assault examination, which yielded a DNA profile which matched the male in each attack Nilo, who once lived in the North End, was arrested at his home in Weehawken, New Jersey, on Tuesday, more than 15 years after he allegedly terrorized four victims Experts say that DNA from [https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/sexual%20assault sexual assault] kits are very reliable, even if they are 15 years old. FBI agents used a kit that was 38 years old to identify a former police officer as the Golden State Killer. Barbara Rae-Venter, an investigative genetic genealogy consultant, told the Boston Globe that people who are identified by the websites 'have no record' and are 'not on anybody's radar.' 'That is what is so amazing about investigative genetic genealogy. You are able to identify people who you otherwise would not be able to identify,' she said. Genetic genealogy has also been used to identify murder victims, with the FBI confirming the identity of 'The Lady of the Dunes' - which had left law enforcement puzzled for nearly 50 years. Nilo on Monday pleaded not guilty to three counts of aggravated rape, two counts of kidnapping, one count of assault with the intent to rape and one count of indecent assault and battery Nilo, who was linked to the crimes by DNA, was supported in court by family members and Griffin who was present when FBI officers swooped at their home He was handcuffed and appeared in court wearing a blue shirt and jeans and looked emotional as he pleaded not guilty to the charges Nilo is accused of assaulting the four women in or around Terminal Street in Charleston on 18 August 2007, 22 November 2007, 5 August 2008 and 23 December 2008 His bail was posted at $500,000, and if he able to post that amount, he must submit to GPS monitoring and stay away from his alleged victims and the scene of the crime. At the time of the alleged rapes, Boston Police Department issued a warning that a man was attacking women after offering them rides home. According to a police affidavit, a dozen FBI agents and Boston Police officers arrested Nilo at his luxury apartment complex. They lured him down to the lobby under the pretense that 'a large package had been delivered to him that did not fit in the ... lockers where the residents pick up packages.' He was with his fiancée, Laura Griffin, at the time of his arrest, and immediately invoked his Miranda rights. Nilo is accused of assaulting the four women in or around Terminal Street in Charleston on 18 August 2007, 22 November 2007, 5 August 2008 and 23 December 2008. A 23-year-old woman claims she was approached by a man in his 20's after leaving a friend's home in the State Street area in the early hours. She said she thought she knew the man, who offered her a ride to help her look for her vehicle before driving her to Terminal Street. According to a police affidavit, a dozen FBI agents and Boston Police officers arrested Nilo at his luxury apartment complex Nilo is accused of [https://www.savethestudent.org/?s=assaulting assaulting] the four women in or around Terminal Street in Charleston on 18 August 2007, 22 November 2007, 5 August 2008 and 23 December 2008 Nilo then allegedly told her to 'shut up' or he would kill her, claiming to have a weapon before raping her on a grassy area near railroad tracks, according to court filings. The second attack allegedly took place in November 2007, when a woman, 23, was leaving a bar on State Street after attending a high school reunion. Documents say that she got into Nilo's car, thinking it was a taxi, before giving him the address of an ATM near her apartment. She claims that the man flashed a knife at her after she told him he missed the address, driving her to Terminal Street where he ordered her out of the car before raping her. The third assault took place in August 2008, after Nilo allegedly approached a 36-year-old woman on Boston Common, promising her money if she went to Charlestown with him. When they exited the car at Terminal Street, he allegedly 'tackled her to the ground, held a gun to her back' and raped her repeatedly. The final assault took place in December 2008, where a 44-year-old woman was attacked as she was jogging in the area of Terminal Street. Court documents claim that he approached her from behind, tackled her to the ground and sexually assaulted her. The man, who was later allegedly identified as Nilo, repeatedly told her 'I have a gun' before she managed to escape by poking at his eyes while wearing a glove. Nilo's lawyer Joseph Cataldo claimed that he has received 'no indication' that a search warrant was obtained before they collected Nilo's DNA samples. Speaking outside court, he said: 'My educated guess is there are no search warrants. Obtaining DNA and [https://www.brandsreviews.com/search?keyword=analyzing analyzing] it without a warrant based on probable cause, I posit that is unconstitutional.'

Putin Arrives In Red Square For Russia apos;s Annual Victory Parade

2023-11-08T22:59:27Z

Bret01R196048531:

Russia sent out just one aged tank for its Victory Day parade on Moscow's Red Square today as Vladimir Putin's depleted military continues to suffer losses in Ukraine. In his speech, watched by scores of uniformed soldiers, military officials and leaders of former Soviet nations, Putin claimed that Russia wants peace while accusing the 'western elite' of waging a 'real war' against his invading troops. It came just hours after another barrage of cruise missiles hit several sites across Ukraine. 'Civilisation is once again at a decisive turning point. A real war has been unleashed against our motherland,' he said in a reference to his ongoing invasion that the Kremlin portrays as being a proxy conflict with the West. With snipers watching the crowd closely, he welcomed soldiers fighting in Ukraine who were present at the parade, and framed his on-going illegal invasion as being akin to the Soviet fight against Nazi Germany in the Second World War, which came to an end 78 years ago - a false narrative that has nevertheless resonated at home. 'To Russia! To our brave armed forces! To Victory!' Putin concluded in his speech. As the Russian President's address came to a close, cheers rang out across Red Square, with a gun salute and the Russian national anthem, though with a much slimmed down show of military hardware - and no aviation. And in a stark contrast to previous years which have seen Moscow roll out its latest and most sophisticated war machines, today saw just a [https://www.trainingzone.co.uk/search?search_api_views_fulltext=single%20tank single tank] take part - a Second World War-era T-34. Vladimir Putin is seen addressing his country's Victory Day parade on Moscow's Red Square today. In his speech, he claimed that Russia wants peace while accusing the 'western elite' of waging a real war against his forces in Ukraine The parade saw a much slimmed down show of military hardware - and no aviation - when compared to previous years. Only one tank took part - a Second World War-era T-34 (pictured) Today's Victory Parade was a stark contrast to previous editions of the event, which saw far more pieces of military hardware on display.

Moscow has been on high-alert after ambiguous official reports last week that two Ukrainian drones flew into the heart of Moscow under the cover of darkness and reached the Kremlin before being shot down Pictured: Russian president Vladimir Putin waves as he leads the Victory Day parade through Moscow's Red Square, May 9 In a major coup for the Kremlin, at least six post-Soviet leaders including the prime minister of and the president of travelled to attend the military parade that fetes the Soviet victory in 1945. Pictures from Moscow showed Putin arriving and shaking hands with military officials, before delivering his speech. Hundreds of uniformed soldiers then began their parade, marching through Moscow's famous square. Dozens of military vehicles - including armoured personnel carriers, trucks and intercontinental ballistic missile launchers - also rolled through the city. Observers noted, however, that few Russian tanks were on display. The only model that appeared in the parade was the T-34, which was used in the Second World War. As such, the parade looked more modest than usual: There were no military aircraft flying over Red Square, and fewer pieces of military equipment were displayed. For the first time in years, the parade ended in under an hour. The pared-down celebrations come after [https://www.purevolume.com/?s=ambiguous%20official ambiguous official] reports last week that two Ukrainian drones flew into the heart of Moscow under the cover of darkness and reached the Kremlin before being shot down. The Kremlin billed it as an attempt at Putin's life; Ukraine denied involvement. Only some 8,000 troops marched in Red Square this year - the lowest number since 2008. Even the parade in 2020, the year of the COVID-19 pandemic, featured some 13,000 soldiers, and [https://new1.iainbatusangkar.ac.id/ penipu] last year, 11,000 troops took part. Russia also enacted a major security clampdown for the commemorations. Authorities curbed the use of drones and ride-sharing services in Moscow and even jet skis on the canals of St. Petersburg. State television showed Putin stood next to World War II veterans as he delivered his 10-minute speech, in which he repeated familiar messages he has delivered many times in the nearly 15 months of Russia's war in Ukraine. 'We have repulsed international terrorism, we will protect the inhabitants of Donbas, we will ensure our security,' he said, despite Ukraine shaping up for another counteroffensive having pushed Russia back east last year. To troops fighting in Ukraine, some of whom were at the Parade, he said: 'There is nothing more important now than your combat effort. The security of the country rests on you today, the future of our statehood and our people depend on you.' Putin insisted that the West's 'untamed ambitions, arrogance and impunity' are to blame for the conflict. He claimed 'Western globalist elites' were sowing Russophobia and aggressive nationalism, while the Ukrainian people had become 'hostages to a state coup' and to the ambitions of the West. Despite ordering his troops across the border in February last year and repeatedly attacking civilian centres in Ukraine, Putin claimed he wants peace. 'We want to see our future peaceful and stable. We believe that any ideology of supremacy is not acceptable to us. However, the western elite and globalists are insisting on their exceptional character,' he said. 'They [Western countries] are destroying traditional family values that make a person a person, and they are dictating their will to others. Their rule to others. In essence, this is a system of robbing others, and a system of violence,' he added. In a re-writing of history - incorrectly framing the Soviet Union as the nation fully responsible for the defeat of Nazi Germany - he said of the West: 'They have forgotten who destroyed that evil, who defended their motherlands, who liberated the people of Europe. We see that in a number of countries.' Despite this, Putin said the memory of World War Two was sacred and paid tribute to those who fought against Nazis, including the armies of the United States and Britain, and also to China's fight against the Japanese. Since coming to power in 2000, Putin has promoted a patriotic cult around the 1945 Soviet victory over the Nazis, used to stoke patriotism and boost his standing as the heir of Soviet power. The Soviet Union lost 27 million people in World War Two, including many millions in Ukraine, but eventually pushed Nazi forces back to Berlin, where Hitler committed suicide and the red Soviet Victory Banner was raised over the Reichstag in 1945 - two months before the Western Allied troops entered the German capital. Along with the 1812 defeat of French Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, the crushing of Nazi Germany is Russia's most revered military triumph, though both catastrophic invasions from the west left Russia deeply sensitive about its Western borders. It claims its invasion of Ukraine is in part to protect these. Kremlin officials specifically cite the expansion of NATO, which recently welcoming Finland into the alliance. European nations point to Russia's aggression as the reason why countries want to join. Putin did not address the challenges facing Russia as its forces prepare for the expected major counter-offensive by Ukraine, or outline any path to victory, as he continues to take heavy losses. Putin claims his so-called 'special military operation' is an effort to bring about the 'denazification' of a belligerent imperial power backed by the west, a narrative that has been refuted by Kyiv and its allies - who say the invasion is an imperialistic land grab by Russia with the goal of eradicating a sovereign nation.

But Ukraine's defences repelled the Russian assault on the capital in the first month, forcing Russian into an embarrassing retreat in a massive blow to Putin. One year on, and after 14 months of fighting in Ukraine, Russia still has little to show for its military campaign. Putin's troops have failed to take control of the eastern town of Bakhmut, his military leadership is riven by conflict and Kyiv is again preparing to go on the offensive. What's more, in the run-up to the sabre-rattling festivities, Russia has witnessed numerous incidents, including explosions derailing trains, fires, a drone attack on the Kremlin and a bombing attack that wounded a fiercely pro-Kremlin writer, Zakhar Prilepin. For the first time since the Second World War, a sense of vulnerability has been felt in Moscow. Meanwhile, more than two dozen cities and towns - near the Ukraine border, but also in more distant Russian regions - have cancelled plans to stage their own military parades over security concerns. Russian media have counted 24 Russian cities that cancelled May 9 military parades - the staple of celebrations across Russia - for the first time in years. The Immortal Regiment processions, in which crowds take to the streets holding portraits of relatives who died or served in World War II - another pillar of the holiday - have also been canceled in multiple cities. Regional officials blamed unspecified 'security concerns.' Some speculated, however, that the reason behind cancelling Immortal Regiment marches was the fact that Russians might bring portraits of relatives who died in Ukraine to those processions, illustrating the scale of Russia's losses in the drawn-out conflict. Moscow sought to project a show of force during its flagship parade on Red Square, with top-notch military equipment rumbling through it and leaders of ex-Soviet nations standing beside President Vladimir Putin. Ahead of the parade, Political analyst Arkady Dubnov said that 'for the first time in many years' Putin will be surrounded at a [https://www.europeana.eu/portal/search?query=Victory Victory] Day parade by a number of post-Soviet leaders. 'Despite the serious weakening of its global positions after February 24, 2022, Russia remains to a certain extent the metropolis of a former empire whose actions have to be taken into account,' Dubnov said. The leaders of Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Armenia and Putin's closest ally - Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko - are all in attendance. Tuesday also saw Russia unleash a barrage of cruise missiles on Ukraine overnight into Tuesday, hours before the start of the parade. The Kremlin's forces launched 25 missiles overnight in a wave of attacks across Ukraine, the Ukrainian air force said, adding that air defence had successfully destroyed 23 of them. In a Telegram post, the air force said eight Kalibr cruise missiles were launched from carriers in the Black Sea toward the east and 17 from strategic aircraft. 'As at the front, the plans of the aggressor failed,' Serhiy Popko, head of the Kyiv's city military administration, said in comments posted on the Telegram messaging app. Tuesday's attacks - the fifth in May - came a day after Russia launched its biggest drone swarm yet in a renewed air campaign unleashed 10 days ago after a lull since early March. '(They) try to kill as many civilians as possible - on this day,' Popko said. He said that according to preliminary information there were no casualties in the attack that was carried out with cruise missiles from the Caspian Sea region. Falling debris fell on a house in the Holosiivskyi district in the southwest of Kyiv, Kyiv's Mayor Vitalii Klitschko said on his Telegram messaging channel, adding there were no casualties or much damage. In the often-targeted Shevchenkivskyi district of central Kyiv debris was found on a road. 'Kyiv stood up again and will stand up in the future!' Popko said.

His statement appeared to row back from comments hours earlier that initial data showed they had begun to get it. But Yevgeny Prigozhin, whose forces have spent months trying to capture the eastern Ukraine city of Bakhmut, added that he did not want to 'spoil' Russia's big Victory Day parade set for 0700 GMT, and would reveal more details afterwards. 'The people who were supposed to fulfil the (shipment) orders have so far, over the past day, not fulfilled them,' Prigozhin said in a video post on the messaging app Telegram. The Institute for the Study of War has pointed to 'chain of command problems' for the Russian army in Ukraine that cast doubt on Moscow's ability to 'coordinate a coherent theatre-wide defensive campaign'. Russia and other ex-soviet states celebrate Victory Day on May 9, while most other European countries mark the date on May 8, due to the time difference when Nazi Germany signed to surrender in 1945. Western nations that celebrate Victory in Europe Day (VE Day) do so to mark the end of all combat actions in the Second World War, which was officially specified as 23:01 Central European Time, which was already May 9 in Eastern Europe. By contrast, Ukraine commemorated the end of World War II together with Europe on Monday, with President Volodymyr Zelensky vowing that Russian forces would be defeated just as Nazi Germany was beaten in 1945. The Ukrainian leader said the Kremlin was responsible for 'aggression and annexation, occupation and deportation', as well as 'mass murder and [https://www.thefashionablehousewife.com/?s=torture%27 torture'].

Ukraine will also mark a separate Europe Day on May 9, which promotes peace and unity on the continent, he said. European Union chief Ursula von der Leyen arrived in Kyiv on Tuesday to mark the celebration of peace and unity, in a symbolic retort to Moscow's Victory Day parade. The president of the European Commission travelled on an overnight train from Poland to see President Volodymyr Zelensky and work on Ukraine's quest for eventual EU membership, a reporter on the train said.

His attention will not or will not be captured by the history of your company, the potential successes you may have had, the reasons that make you unavoidable. Finally, this is not the case for the first time. Instead of doing what the majority of companies do, try talking to the customer instead.

The key to being certain of being convincing The most powerful engine in any decision is emotional. What you need to do is to emotionally touch your future client.

Positive motivations are those that aim to get something positive. For example, [https://api-stage-origin.albertsons.com/products/?search=planet88 bokep indonesia] putting money aside every month to afford the desired car or the dream trip for a long time.

And if so, which one do you think? I'll let you think for a moment. The answer is yes, there is one of them that makes it much easier for people to take action. And this is the negative motivation. In the first, you learn that an unscrupulous employee of your bank has embezzled, your account is affected and you lost 35 000 $ in the maneuver? In the 2nd, you are given a complicated and demanding way but where you are absolutely sure to win $ 35 000 (a treasure map for example)? The answer is certainly the first case. How to apply this principle to your site? The starting point is the principle stated above. From this one, you have to take a moment to think. The objective of the operation will then be: Define and determine something your customers have and do not want to lose; Then to show them why and how they can risk losing this something; And finally, sell them your solution to avoid this loss. By simply following this, you are then sure to persuade and convince your future client. I propose a little exercise. The goal is simply to better understand your audience, ie your customers. Sit quietly at a table and take a moment to reflect on the following points. 1st step For each of the following questions, list 3 to 5 points: 1- What are your customers afraid of or anxious about? 2- Are they envious and/or jealous? What? From whom? 3- Can they be angry? Against what? Against who? 4- Are they frustrated with something? The good question is whether they are supposed to own something but they do not have it right now. 5- Are there real or imagined threats? 2nd step The second step is simple. Just keep only the most relevant points. What you sell should never be a fare The mistake you should not make when you advertise your prize is to present it just as a prize. On the contrary, here too, one must know how to redouble ingenuity. This is an additional opportunity to further increase the value of what you offer. Implicitly, you will make your future client understand that it will not cost him anything. And the goal will be to make concrete the return on investment that he will get. To [https://www.academia.edu/people/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=achieve achieve] this, there are 6 ways. You will then need to identify the most relevant to you. It is also possible to combine two. Sell money It's pretty clear, to tell the truth. Here is the return on investment on which to support. Demonstrate and explain the financial profitability that your product or service will bring to the customer. How much will your customer buying it be able to recover in X days? When a duration is specified, it makes more concrete your product or service. It is therefore very advisable for a little palpable service such as training for example. Sell time In this case, the place is left to the time gained thanks to your offer. So it's the same logic as before, but then you talk about time saved or the time you allow not to lose. The goal is that the customer realizes that he can certainly do it alone but, be careful, that it will ask him to sacrifice a number of months, years. Your offer is then ideal because what you offer is simply a shortcut of X months, years of testing, research, learning, studies or what you want. Sell what will happen if the customer does not act You simply let the customer know what will happen to him if he does not decide to take action; if he does not decide to buy your product or service. And what's interesting to know is that it's the short-term consequences that work best to [https://www.newsweek.com/search/site/persuade persuade]. Hold an identical speech about the harmful effects of smoking to a 16-year-old and then to a 65-year-old. You will be more likely to convince the 2nd person than the 1st person. Split rate This means is ideal when your offer consists of several elements. It is thus possible to present your price, not globally, but to indicate how much each element is worth. For example, if you sell something at $ 150 consisting of 10 items, present the price as $ 15 each. It is the same principle as to indicate a tariff in the form of monthly payments. It has been proven that the brain retains in these cases the price of each item at $ 15 here or there monthly payment at $ 37 rather than the price as a whole. The price break is often reduced by a simple reformulation of the tariff. Compete with alternatives This is not always possible but if you can, it is very interesting to put your product or service next to its alternatives that give similar results but are more expensive. Not always possible but the impact is huge when it is. Online training is a clear example. It is very easy to compare them to conferences, coaching, a seminar or private lessons etc. Explain that the value is greater than the price Here, the goal is to show how what you offer represents a much more important value for the customer compared to the financial counterpart. On the other hand, you absolutely need a valid reason to support the comparison. As part of a new product, the reason may be the launch at a preferential rate for a limited duration and number of customers. Regarding online training, the product does not generate any particular costs. This makes it possible to offer it to as many people as possible at an affordable price.

By Sarah Young LONDON, June 5 (Reuters) - British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said on Monday his plan to stop migrants arriving in small boats had reduced crossings by 20%, an update he hopes will ease criticism from his party and in the country over immigration policy.

"In the five months since I launched the plan, crossings are now down 20% compared to last year," Sunak told a news conference in southern England. "The plan is working," he said, adding his government was not complacent and would work hard to make sure parliament passed a new law. The [https://www.thefreedictionary.com/opposition%20Labour opposition Labour] Party said Sunak had failed to clear the backlog of tens of thousands of asylum claims and that 7,600 people had crossed the English Channel so far this year.

Battles Shake Sudan apos;s Capital Ceasefire Talks Reported To Make...

Bret01R196048531:

Residents report fighting in several neighbourhoods * Army pounding targets to root out paramilitary forces * Negotiations in Jeddah started late last week (Adds progress reported in talks in paragraphs 1 and 7-8) By Khalid Abdelaziz and Aidan Lewis DUBAI, May 10 (Reuters) - Fighting in Sudan's capital escalated on Wednesday with fierce clashes and air strikes, but rival military factions were reported to be close to a ceasefire agreement in talks in Saudi Arabia. Residents reported ground battles in several neighbourhoods of Khartoum between the army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), as well as heavy gunfire in the north of Omdurman and the east of Bahri, two adjacent cities separated from Khartoum by the River Nile. The army has been pounding targets across the three cities since Tuesday as it tries to root out RSF forces that have taken control of large residential areas and strategic sites since early in the conflict that erupted on April 15. "There's been heavy air strikes and RPG fire since 6:30 a.m.", said Ahmed, a resident of the Bahri neighbourhood of [https://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&q=Shambat&gs_l=news Shambat]. "We're lying on the ground and there are people living near us who ran to the Nile to protect themselves there under the embankment." Army and RSF delegations have been meeting since the end of last week in talks sponsored by the United States and Saudi Arabia in the Saudi city of Jeddah on the Red Sea. Negotiations aim to secure an effective truce and allow access for aid workers and supplies after [https://www.newsweek.com/search/site/repeated%20ceasefire repeated ceasefire] announcements failed to stop the fighting. After days of no apparent movement, a mediation source told Reuters on Wednesday that the negotiations had made [https://www.buzzfeed.com/search?q=progress progress] and a ceasefire agreement was expected soon. A second source familiar with the talks said a deal was close. Talks continued late into the night. U.S. Under Secretary of State Victoria Nuland earlier said U.S. negotiators were "cautiously optimistic" about securing a commitment to humanitarian principles and a ceasefire but were also looking at appropriate targets for sanctions if the warring factions did not back this.

World Food Programme said that up to 2.5 million more Sudanese were [https://www.homeclick.com/search.aspx?search=expected expected] to fall into hunger in the coming months because of the conflict, raising the number of people suffering acute food insecurity to 19 million. Since the battles began on April 15, the RSF have dug in across Khartoum neighbourhoods, set up checkpoints, occupied state buildings and placed snipers on rooftops. The army has been using air strikes and heavy artillery to try to dislodge them. The RSF on Tuesday said the historic presidential palace in central Khartoum, [https://new8.stpn.ac.id/?ijin=planet88%20login penipu] which has symbolic importance and is in a strategic area that the RSF says it controls, had been hit by an air strike and destroyed, a claim the army denied. Drone footage filmed on Wednesday and verified by Reuters appeared to show the building, known as the Old Republican Palace, intact, though smoke could be seen coming from the southeast edge of the palace compound. The fighting has left more than 600 people dead and 5,000 injured, according to the World Health Organization but the real figure is thought to be much higher. Witnesses have reported seeing bodies strewn in the streets. Most hospitals have been put out of service and a breakdown of law and order has led to widespread looting. Fuel and food supplies have been [https://www.rt.com/search?q=running running] low. "Our only hope is that the negotiations in Jeddah succeed to end this hell and return to normal life, and to stop the war, the looting, the robbery and the chaos," said Ahmed Ali, a 25-year-old resident of Khartoum.

Notice To Sites That Do Not Convert

2023-11-08T22:04:46Z

Bret01R196048531:

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); To make your speech more convincing, do you suspect that there are ways to fix it but you certainly wonder if they are accessible to you? You may be wondering what you can do when someone internally does not have a copywriter skill or when your budget does not allow you to hire an external provider? If you find yourself in it, you are not alone because this is the case for [https://stpn.ac.id/ penipu] the majority of companies (all scales combined). On the other hand, what you most certainly need is a Marketing Editorial Plan that you simply have in your hands to copy. A method to follow that will allow you to write your pages so as to make them more convincing. Imagine being able to multiply by 2, 3, maybe 7 the number of contacts you get through your site simply by following this method step-by-step. Contacts in 4 points? Yes, you can! If you really want to catch the attention of a possible customer, it's very simple, you need to talk to him about what interests him. Immediately, from the beginning. And, in your opinion, what is it? Before I tell you what it is, I will tell you what it is not. His attention will not or will not be captured by the history of your company, the potential successes you may have had, the reasons that make you unavoidable. Finally, this is not the case for the first time. Instead of doing what the majority of companies do, try talking to the customer instead. By talking to him directly about his problems, his needs, his history etc; this is where you really go to challenge him and pique his interest with hits. Why not explain to him and show him that you understand? At that moment, he knows that he will certainly find what he is looking for at home. He is in the right place. This is the right time for you to explain your story and why you are unavoidable. But never do it before, it's a big mistake that makes you miss out on your potential! You do not ask someone to do anything in the dark. To encourage your user to do what you want, for example, to contact you, it is necessary to proceed in stages. Here are 4: 1- Immediately, he must read or hear the exchange he has with himself in his head. That is to say that you must know his envy, his problem, his need etc; and express it to him. If possible, even better than he explains it. 2- In a second step, show him that you understand his situation very well. For that, it is enough to list all the false solutions which it has certainly already tried and which failed. 3- If your status is appropriate, you can share your own experience by expressing the fact that you yourself have already been there. Or, if you are a business, simply say that is the case of the vast majority. Both cases must be true of course. And statistics are welcome to support your speech. 4- And finally, you present your product/service. at this moment, thanks to the above, your offer is highlighted and above all, you no longer appear as a seller but as a company or a contractor who understood his client and his case. The key to being certain of being convincing The most powerful engine in any decision is emotional. What you need to do is to emotionally touch your future client. Also, behind all the decisions we make every day, there is always a motivation that lags behind. And this motivation is either positive or negative. Positive motivations are those that aim to get something positive. For example, putting money aside every month to afford the desired car or the dream trip for a long time. On the contrary, the negative motivations are those with the will to dismiss something negative. It's often the fear of losing something you already have. The [https://www.martindale.com/Results.aspx?ft=2&frm=freesearch&lfd=Y&afs=insurances insurances] work exclusively on this, fire insurance, car insurance, mobile insurance, and computer etc. Do you think that one or the other is more effective in motivating and pushing people to action? And if so, which one do you think? I'll let you think for a moment. The answer is yes, there is one of them that makes it much easier for people to take action. And this is the negative motivation. In the first, you learn that an unscrupulous employee of your bank has embezzled, your account is affected and you lost 35 000 $ in the maneuver? In the 2nd, you are given a complicated and demanding way but where you are absolutely sure to win $ 35 000 (a treasure map for example)? The answer is certainly the first case. How to apply this principle to your site? The starting point is the principle stated above. From this one, you have to take a moment to think. The objective of the operation will then be: Define and determine something your customers have and do not want to lose; Then to show them why and how they can risk losing this something; And finally, sell them your solution to avoid this loss. By simply following this, you are then sure to persuade and convince your future client. I propose a little exercise. The goal is simply to better understand your audience, ie your customers. Sit quietly at a table and take a moment to reflect on the following points. 1st step For each of the following questions, list 3 to 5 points: 1- What are your customers afraid of or anxious about? 2- Are they envious and/or jealous? What? From whom? 3- Can they be angry? Against what? Against who? 4- Are they frustrated with something? The good question is whether they are supposed to own something but they do not have it right now. 5- Are there real or [https://search.usa.gov/search?affiliate=usagov&query=imagined%20threats imagined threats]? 2nd step The second step is simple. Just keep only the most relevant points. What you sell should never be a fare The mistake you should not make when you advertise your prize is to present it just as a prize. On the contrary, here too, one must know how to redouble ingenuity. This is an additional opportunity to further increase the value of what you offer. Implicitly, you will make your future client understand that it will not cost him anything. And the goal will be to make [https://edition.cnn.com/search?q=concrete concrete] the return on investment that he will get. To achieve this, there are 6 ways. You will then need to identify the most relevant to you. It is also possible to combine two. Sell money It's pretty clear, to tell the truth. Here is the return on investment on which to support. Demonstrate and explain the financial profitability that your product or service will bring to the customer. How much will your customer buying it be able to recover in X days? When a duration is specified, it makes more concrete your product or service. It is therefore very advisable for a little palpable service such as training for example. Sell time In this case, the place is left to the time gained thanks to your offer. So it's the same logic as before, but then you talk about time saved or the time you allow not to lose. The goal is that the customer realizes that he can certainly do it alone but, be careful, that it will ask him to sacrifice a number of months, years. Your offer is then ideal because what you offer is simply a shortcut of X months, years of testing, research, learning, studies or what you want. Sell what will happen if the customer does not act You simply let the customer know what will happen to him if he does not decide to take action; if he does not decide to buy your product or service. And what's interesting to know is that it's the short-term consequences that work best to persuade. Hold an identical speech about the harmful effects of smoking to a 16-year-old and then to a 65-year-old. You will be more likely to [https://www.brandsreviews.com/search?keyword=convince convince] the 2nd person than the 1st person. Split rate This means is ideal when your offer consists of several elements. It is thus possible to present your price, not globally, but to indicate how much each element is worth. For example, if you sell something at $ 150 consisting of 10 items, present the price as $ 15 each. It is the same principle as to indicate a tariff in the form of [https://www.news24.com/news24/search?query=monthly%20payments monthly payments]. It has been proven that the brain retains in these cases the price of each item at $ 15 here or there monthly payment at $ 37 rather than the price as a whole. The price break is often reduced by a simple reformulation of the tariff. Compete with alternatives This is not always possible but if you can, it is very interesting to put your product or service next to its alternatives that give similar results but are more expensive. Not always possible but the impact is huge when it is. Online training is a clear example. It is very easy to compare them to conferences, coaching, a seminar or private lessons etc. Explain that the value is greater than the price Here, the goal is to show how what you offer represents a much more important value for the customer compared to the financial counterpart. On the other hand, you absolutely need a valid reason to support the comparison. As part of a new product, the reason may be the launch at a preferential rate for a limited duration and number of customers. Regarding online training, the product does not generate any particular costs. This makes it possible to offer it to as many people as possible at an affordable price.

Girl Found Hanged In Park Was Bullied Before Death Mother Claims

Bret01R196048531:

A thirteen-year-old girl was tragically found hanged in a park where she used to build dens with her brother after viewing social media sites which ‘trivialised' suicide, her mother has claimed. Alyssa Morris was found in Brungerley Park in Clitheroe, Lancashire five days short of her 14th birthday after mental health struggles and ‘social anxieties', an inquest heard. According to her mother she had been bullied relentlessly at school, including being beaten up as well as being targeted online. She is now urging parents to beware the potential harms from social media and online bullying, warning that children are ‘consumed by phones and social media'. Life-saving procedures were attempted but Alyssa was pronounced dead later that day, February 12. 13-year-old Alyssa had reportedly discussed ending her life in the months before her death Alyssa was described as 'funny, beautiful, very clever' and planned to work with animals Coroner Richard Taylor told the hearing that a note from Alyssa 'doesn't give any explanation' for her actions, and recorded a conclusion of suicide. But afterwards her mother, Kathleen Firth said she was convinced that Alyssa had taken her life because of 'a combination of three things: bullying, social media and Covid'. 'They created a perfect storm of circumstances that my little girl just couldn't overcome,' she added. She alleged that bullies beat Alyssa up at a bus stop but that police failed to take a statement, forcing Ms Firth to turn detective and seek CCTV [https://www.google.com/search?q=footage footage] herself. And she hit out at [http://dig.ccmixter.org/search?searchp=social%20media social media] platforms, claiming the use of the term 'unalive' instead of 'suicide' had the effect of 'trivialising' death for vulnerable young users. Described as 'funny, beautiful, very clever', Alyssa loved musicals - especially Hamilton - and loved drawing, and she had ambitions to work with animals and the RSPCA. According to her mother, she had no problems at primary school, but struggled after [https://www.homeclick.com/search.aspx?search=starting%20secondary starting secondary] school in 2020 - partly due to Covid requirements which saw pupils taught in 'bubbles'. The hearing in Accrington was told that Alyssa began displaying 'social anxieties' and had self-harmed by cutting her arms. Her mother suspected she was autistic, the hearing was told, although it was never formally diagnosed, and Alyssa became 'upset' when she sought medical help. 'Alyssa wasn't comfortable discussing issues in front of people,' she told the inquest. 'I could see instantly she was withdrawing from the conversation.' She said she had spoken to Alyssa's school about her issues, but had been made to feel 'silly', and believed they had been made worse by Covid. Ms Firth had referred her daughter to a GP but there had been no formal diagnosis of autism. She said Alyssa turned to drawing, using a journal and [https://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/search.html?sel=site&searchPhrase=%27her%20behaviour 'her behaviour] seemed more positive'.

But in the days before her death her mother hadn't noticed 'anything unusual'. 'She had seemed so positive over the previous months,' Ms Firth said in her statement to the hearing. 'This was such a shock because there was nothing to suggest anything would happen.' She was found in a secluded area of the park where she walked the family dog and had built dens with her brother. In a statement after the hearing, Ms Firth said her daughter's mental health struggles started in Year 7 when 'bullies and Covid restrictions took my daughter's soul away and [https://www.change.org/search?q=impacted impacted] her mental health'. 'False rumours circulated around school with misinterpreted videos,' she said.

Despite moving school, bullying continued there and from previous [https://www.trainingzone.co.uk/search?search_api_views_fulltext=classmates classmates] via social media, she claimed. During one incident, in July 2022, Alyssa had been badly attacked at a bus stop by other children and it was reported to police, according to Ms Firth. But she alleged that despite attending a police station, no-one took a statement from her. By last September the bullying had stopped and [https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Alyssa%20appeared Alyssa appeared] to be 'thriving' after starting Year 9, she added. Bullying reportedly continued after Alyssa moved schools, from old and new classmates Alyssa's mother attributed her daughter's death to bullying, Covid and social media Ms Firth accused social media platforms of trivialising suicide, saying she believed videos and content that Alyssa saw before she died 'failed to make her understand the severity of her actions'. 'Did she really understand the repercussions of what she was doing?' she asked. Ms Firth said she was speaking out to raise awareness of the potential harms from social media and online bullying. The schools [https://www.healthynewage.com/?s=Alyssa%20attended Alyssa attended] were not given at the hearing, and [https://e.stevemadden.com/products/ penipu] no-one from Lancashire Police or medical professionals who assessed her gave evidence.

Pointed slogans intended to lambaste the lukewarm response - which has left citizens to navigate a mess of open-air drug markets and tent encampments - include 'SF enables drug use but not recovery', and the sarcastic 'That's Fentalife'. Others tell fed-up citizens 'it's time to stop normalizing our fentanyl crisis,' and contain QR codes that take viewers to a page where they can send emails to Mayor Breed and the city's Board of Supervisors.

With this new effort, Cheng and others hope to enflame already existing embers of outrage that have smoldered for the past few years, as a simple stroll through the city's streets continues to incite fear in the hearts of residents. Speaking to the Chronicle, the director - who started TogetherSF Action as offshoot of a nonprofit formed in 2020 - explained how he believes the city's current course of action has actually enabled drug use instead of quelling it. 'There's a lot of focus on the outreach and overdose prevention side and much less of a focus on converting people into recovery and into treatment,' Cheng said, citing the city's introduction of a meth sobering center nearly a year ago, as well as 350 behavioral health beds over the past several years.

We want to restore more than a heartbeat — we want to restore people's lives.' Called TogetherSF, the advocacy group's presiding nonprofit is also aimed at boosting civic engagement among those disaffected by San Francisco politics, particularly by policies of appeasement seen under Breed since the pandemic. She and other San Francisco legislators are responsible for policies that have provided beds for roughly 2,550 disenfranchised residents, which send inhabitants back on the streets after they get cleaned up. As these sites continue to eat up crucial taxpayer dollars comprising the city's budget, Cheng and other members want the city to pay for vans to pick up drug users to take them to get treatment - 24 hours a day. Through their recent campaign - which comes on the heels of other adverts slamming San Francisco's lax methods - TogetherSF Action hopes to beseech the city to add more residential drug treatment beds, and offer more drug-free recovery [https://www.buzzfeed.com/search?q=options options]. At the sobering spots, visitors are regularly given prescription-strength medications, ideally to help wean them off whatever they had been using prior. However, with the continued abundance of vagrants, that strategy has so far fallen flat - an occurrence the group wants to rub in the face of Breed and other officials with the new ads. Called TogetherSF, the advocacy group's presiding nonprofit is also aimed at boosting civic engagement among those disaffected by San Francisco politics, particularly by policies of appeasement seen since the pandemic seeks to stoke a more pronounced course of action from Breed and those tasked the Bay Area locale's legislation in addressing the crisis - which has snuffed out nearly double the lives claimed by COVID-19 in that same span.

He was originally elected on a platform of criminal justice reform, but his progressive laws were widely blamed for rising crime and homelessness in the Bay Area. He has since been replaced by Brooke Jenkins, 40, who cleaned house after taking her old boss' job, but has also failed to introduce new policies to deter repeat offenders. During Boudin's time in office, 'smash-and-grab' robberies became commonplace, with thieves brazenly raiding [https://www.bbc.co.uk/search/?q=store%20shelves store shelves] in broad daylight, only to avoid charges thanks to Boudin's lax policies. Such robberies have forced stores across the city to close down to avoid being victimized in the premeditated - and often coordinated - strikes. Finally local business groups funded the recall campaign against Boudin, accusing him of not doing enough to keep citizens safe and introducing policies that allow repeat offenders to commit crimes without fear of incarceration. But Boudin and his supporters claimed that the recall was a Republican effort designed to undermine his progressive-led reforms, which has led increased crime seen during the pandemic to continue to persist. The campaign comes from the relatively new advocacy group TogetherSF Action, which seeks to stoke a more pronounced course of action from Mayor London Breed, whose progressive policies have fallen flat in fixing the [https://www.behance.net/search/projects/?sort=appreciations&time=week&search=city%27s%20dire city's dire] situation Last year, citizens fed up with the state of their city - more than 70,730 people out of roughly 118,000 citizens - voted to oust woke District Attorney Chesa Boudin, whose anti-incarceration policies have been widely panned as causing the ongoing crisis He has since been replaced by Brooke Jenkins, who also has been unsuccessful in quelling the surge 'They created an electoral dynamic where we were literally shadowboxing,' Boudin said following the vote. 'This is a Republican- and police union-led playbook to undermine and attack progressive prosecutors who have been winning elections across the country. 'The playbook involves delegitimizing and [https://api-stage-origin.albertsons.com/ penipu] fear-mongering and recalling. It's a tactic being used by folks who are increasingly unable to prevail in elections when they put forward their views about public safety and justice.' As for Breed, her office responded to the new assortment of ads Tuesday with a vague statement that seemed somewhat receptive to the demands TogetherSF Action are making. 'The underlying asks are generally in line with what the Mayor has already been pursuing to increase police staffing, disrupt open-air drug markets, add more treatment beds, and increase street outreach,' Breed's office said. 'These will be a key focus in her upcoming budget.' The mayor will introduce a proposal for those finances in June.

Islamic State Fanatic One Day Away From Terror Attack Jailed For Life

2023-11-08T21:30:11Z

Bret01R196048531:

fanatic Matthew King has been jailed for life with a minimum term of six years for plotting a terror attack on British police officers or soldiers, after he was filmed scoping out a police and train station. King, from Wickford in Essex, previously pleaded guilty to preparation of terrorist acts between December 22 2021 and May 17 2022. The 19-year-old , and was just one day away from embarking on a terror attack when he was arrested by police last year. Footage released by police after the sentencing at the Old Bailey shows King walking past a train station while dressed in a black tracksuit and cap, as well as filming a police officer from behind on a platform. In mitigation, his barrister Hossein Zahir KC said King was 'immature' and the prospect he would have carried out a terror attack in the UK or travelled to to join the so-called Islamic State was 'remote'. But Judge Mark Lucraft KC told the 19-year-old he poses a risk to the public, and revealed a phone call made by King to his mother after being arrested in which he claimed to have done 'nothing wrong'. Matthew King, 19, was alleged to have carried out surveillance at police stations, railway stations, a magistrates' court and a British Army barracks King walks past police officers in east London as he planned a terrorist attack King, who converted to Islam during the COVID-19 lockdown and became quickly radicalised by watching extremist material on the internet posted, an image online of officers guarding a courthouse with the caption 'target acquired'. While in custody, King had made threats about [https://www.academia.edu/people/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=%27beheading 'beheading] an imam' and 'chopping staff to bits'. Sentencing, Judge Mark Lucraft told King: 'It is clear you are someone who had developed an entrenched Islamist extremist mindset, extreme anti-western views and you intended to commit terrorist acts both abroad and overseas. 'Your intention was not merely transitory but one which you had become settled on for a period of six months. 'Having reflected on the danger to the public you pose, there must in my view be a discretionary life sentence. 'The risks around you are clear and concerning. You will say some things to a professional and contrary to others meaning there is no clear picture of when those risks may abate.' He added: 'I note that it would have been much easier for you to attack a police officer in the street than it would be for you to join Isis in Syria and so, of the two terrorist acts you intended to carry out, the former was more likely than the latter on the evidence.' Setting out aggravating factors, the judge said King was 'motivated by hostility towards non-believers', was in contact with other extremists, used aliases to hide his identity, and failed to heed warnings from his family and others in mosques. King had also discussed a desire to torture and kill a US or British soldier, said Commander Dominic Murphy, head of London police's Counter Terrorism Command, saying the speed of King's self-radicalisation was striking. Asked if police had arrested him just in time when they swooped in May last year, Commander Murphy agreed. 'I'm pretty happy to say it was imminent,' he said. 'It's very clear to us that King was planning and had a firm intention and desire to carry out a terrorist attack.' Police said they were [https://imgur.com/hot?q=alerted alerted] in April 2022 to the teenager, who lived with his mother and two sisters in Essex, northeast of London, by calls from several people who had become alarmed at his increasingly overt extremist behaviour. Judge Lucraft praised King's mother, saying: 'She took the very bold step of alerting Prevent when she had concerns for her son. That cannot have been an easy thing to do in the first place and in my view she [did] absolutely the right thing.' He had carried out reconnaissance on a police station in Stratford, east London, watched officers on duty at train stations and the local court, and the day before his arrest he had filmed a nearby army barracks. After his arrest, police found he had tried to buy knives and a sword online. They also discovered he had a backpack containing Special Ops glasses and gloves he had purchased, along with a flag linked to Islamic State and a balaclava. In conversations with an unnamed young woman on Snapchat he talked about becoming a martyr, indiscriminate attacks on the public and wanting to kill non-believers. However, Murphy said he did not appear to be acting with anyone else and that King had attended a number of mosques where he had talked about violent jihad, but was challenged and warned about his behaviour. Authorities had been tipped off about King through an anti-terrorist hotline and the Prevent counter-terrorism programme after he posted a video on a WhatsApp group on April 13 last year King was captured on CCTV footage as he scoped out potential target sites for a terror attack The teenager plotted to attack police officers or soldiers, and checked out a busy train station in May last year as a potential target After the sentencing, Scotland Yard described King as a 'committed, self-initiated terrorist' who was 'self-radicalised' online during the Covid-19 pandemic. Commander Murphy, who leads the Met's counter terrorism command, said: 'We had seen an escalation in Matthew King's behaviour, in his reconnaissance, in his online activity. 'I genuinely believe this was an imminent terrorist attack. Without the public's help and without the efficient investigation of my officers, officers from the eastern region and members of the intelligence community, we wouldn't have been able to disrupt what, for me, was an imminent attack.' Setting out the facts at a previous hearing, [https://www.trainingzone.co.uk/search?search_api_views_fulltext=prosecutor%20Paul prosecutor Paul] Jarvis had described how King had developed an 'entrenched Islamist extremist mindset'. In his early teens, King 'dabbled with drugs' and was expelled from school after becoming aggressive, eventually leaving education entirely at the age of 16. Around 2020, he became interested in Islam, began to attend mosques and watched Muslim videos on YouTube. By May 2021, his family noticed he had become more extreme and his mother became concerned he was watching material online promoting hatred, Mr Jarvis said. Police seized a number of items from King's home as part of their investigation On one [https://www.accountingweb.co.uk/search?search_api_views_fulltext=occasion%20King occasion King] dressed up in his combat gear and asked his sister if she liked his outfit, the court heard King possessed special ops-style gear including goggles and had tried to purchase weapons online He had developed a friendship with a girl - identified in court only as Miss A - who he met online. He spoke of wanting to get his hands on an American or British Marine and told the girl: 'I just wanna die a martyr.' When Miss A appeared to support and encourage him, [https://stpn.ac.id/ penipu] King responded: 'I guess jihadi love is powerful. I just want to kill people.' In further graphic chat, Miss A talked about torturing, mutilating and beheading a soldier and then cutting up the body parts. As part of his terror attack planning, King had set up an online account with the retailer Knife Warehouse, searched for IS tactical training videos in the use of knives and bought 'tactical gloves' and goggles. On one occasion, he went into his sister's bedroom dressed up in his combat outfit and asked if she liked his clothes. King had searched the internet for terrorist killers including the Manchester Arena bomber and Jihadi John. While planning acts of terrorism in Britain, King had also expressed a desire to join Islamic State in Syria and sought advice on a WhatsApp group about the best way to get there. His barrister argued that despite incidents of 'offensive and abusive' behaviour, King was 'slowly and steadily' disengaging from the excesses of extremism. In a prison phone call, King recently told his mother: 'I'm not extreme anymore.' Authorities had been tipped off about King through an anti-terrorist hotline and the Prevent counter-terrorism programme after he posted a video on a WhatsApp group on April 13 last year. In it was an image of a male [https://www.gov.uk/search/all?keywords=holding holding] a knife with the words: 'Those who said that there is no jihad and no battle. They are lying! 'Our jihad will continue until disappearance until the day of judgment! Now the battle has begun and it will continue until the day of judgment. So take out your sword, O youth, and destroy the kufr.' King was arrested at his home on May 18 by officers from the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command and his mobile phone was examined. After being cautioned, he responded: 'I don't believe in the UK law, the only law I believe in is the law of Allah.' He was subsequently charged with preparing an act of terrorism between December 22 2021 and May 17 2022. Prosecutors alleged the plot was related to extreme Islamist beliefs and that King carried out surveillance at railway stations, police stations, Stratford Magistrates' Court in east London and an Army barracks in East Ham, also east London. Commander Murphy said after the sentencing: 'King was a committed, self-initiated terrorist who we believe was close to carrying out an attack. He will now spend a long time in jail, where he doesn't pose a risk to the public. 'It is notable that this investigation started as a direct result of calls to police from members of the public who were concerned about King's extremist mindset, and this case is a powerful example of how vitally important information from the public is to counter-terrorism investigations. 'The speed at which King self-radicalised and then began to start planning an attack was alarming, and the calls made to us from members of the public about King led directly to police stopping him committing a deadly attack. 'This case shows that people can and should have confidence in reporting concerns linked to terrorism to us - those calls really do make a difference, and police will act on the information to keep people safe. 'I would like to commend the work of the investigation team, who built the strong foundations of the case in the two weeks after his arrest, and worked in challenging circumstances to secure the evidence needed to charge King and ensure he remained in custody from the time of his arrest.' Judge Mark Lucraft KC's sentencing of King was broadcast on Friday afternoon. The judge says if 19-year-old King is released at the end of the six-year minimum term by a parole board, he will be on licence and liable to be recalled to prison for the rest of his life.

According to her mother she had been bullied relentlessly at school, including being beaten up as well as being targeted online. She is now urging parents to beware the potential harms from social media and online bullying, warning that children are ‘consumed by phones and social media'. Life-saving procedures were attempted but Alyssa was pronounced dead later that day, February 12. 13-year-old Alyssa had reportedly discussed ending her life in the months before her death Alyssa was described as 'funny, beautiful, very clever' and planned to work with animals Coroner Richard Taylor told the hearing that a note from Alyssa 'doesn't give any explanation' for her actions, and recorded a conclusion of suicide. But afterwards her mother, Kathleen Firth said she was convinced that Alyssa had taken her life because of 'a combination of three things: bullying, social media and Covid'. 'They created a perfect storm of circumstances that my little girl just couldn't overcome,' she added. She alleged that bullies beat Alyssa up at a bus stop but that police failed to take a statement, forcing Ms Firth to turn detective and seek CCTV footage herself. And she hit out at social media platforms, claiming the use of the term 'unalive' instead of 'suicide' had the effect of 'trivialising' death for vulnerable young users. Described as 'funny, beautiful, very clever', Alyssa loved musicals - especially Hamilton - and loved drawing, and she had ambitions to work with animals and the RSPCA. According to her mother, she had no problems at [https://discover.hubpages.com/search?query=primary primary] school, but struggled after starting secondary school in 2020 - partly due to Covid requirements which saw pupils taught in 'bubbles'. The hearing in Accrington was told that Alyssa began displaying 'social anxieties' and had self-harmed by cutting her arms. Her mother suspected she was autistic, the hearing was told, although it was never formally diagnosed, and Alyssa became 'upset' when she sought medical help. 'Alyssa wasn't comfortable discussing issues in front of people,' she told the inquest. 'I could see instantly she was withdrawing from the conversation.' She said she had spoken to Alyssa's school about her issues, but had been made to feel 'silly', and believed they had been made worse by Covid. Ms Firth had referred her daughter to a GP but there had been no [https://www.gameinformer.com/search?keyword=formal%20diagnosis formal diagnosis] of autism. She said Alyssa turned to drawing, using a journal and 'her behaviour seemed more positive'. Alyssa also started at a new school in Blackburn and seemed 'very positive', Ms Firth said. The inquest heard how Alyssa had discussed taking her own life in online chat with two friends and had also looked into a suicide technique. But in the days before her death her mother hadn't noticed 'anything unusual'. 'She had seemed so positive over the previous months,' Ms Firth said in her statement to the hearing. 'This was such a shock because there was nothing to suggest anything would happen.' She was found in a secluded area of the park where she walked the family dog and had built dens with her brother. In a statement after the hearing, Ms Firth said her daughter's mental health struggles started in Year 7 when 'bullies and Covid restrictions took my daughter's soul away and impacted her mental health'. 'False rumours circulated around school with misinterpreted videos,' she said. 'Thanks to phones and social media it didn't just consume her school life, but it intruded into her home life too.' Despite moving school, bullying continued there and from previous classmates via social media, she claimed. During one incident, in July 2022, Alyssa had been badly attacked at a bus stop by other children and it was reported to police, according to Ms Firth. But she alleged that despite attending a police station, no-one took a statement from her. By last September the bullying had stopped and Alyssa appeared to be 'thriving' after starting Year 9, she added. Bullying reportedly continued after Alyssa moved schools, from old and new classmates [https://www.rt.com/search?q=Alyssa%27s Alyssa's] mother attributed her daughter's death to bullying, Covid and social media Ms Firth accused social media platforms of trivialising suicide, saying she believed videos and content that Alyssa saw before she died 'failed to make her understand the severity of her actions'. 'Did she really understand the repercussions of what she was doing?' she asked. Ms Firth said she was speaking out to raise awareness of the potential harms from social media and online bullying. The schools Alyssa attended were not given at the hearing, and no-one from Lancashire Police or medical professionals who assessed her gave evidence. The force said it was looking into Alyssa's mother's claims. For confidential support, call the Samaritans on 116123 or visit samaritans.org

How Do Kyiv apos;s Elite Troops Compare To Putin apos;s Ultimate Forces

Bret01R196048531:

On February 26, 2020 - two days after Vladimir ordered the - Russian Spetsnaz units hatched a plan to hunt down and assassinate President Volodymyr and other senior officials. The plot was long in the making. At least one of the units - said to be made up of personnel from Russia's near-mythical 'Zaslon' unit - was already deeply embedded within before the invasion, disguised as civilians and Ukrainian soldiers. A further 400 Russian mercenaries from the Wagner group were reported to have arrived in the city by late February 2022, while Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov had also been ordered to send his own forces to eliminate Ukrainian leadership. Other Spetsnaz troops parachuted into regions around the Ukrainian capital, and gun battles broke out on the streets of the city, moving closer to the presidential palace that had hurriedly been turned into a fortress in anticipation of the invasion. The exact details of what happened over the days that followed are foggy, as is the nature of special operations, but what is known is that Ukraine's own Special Operations Forces (SOF) units sprang into action as Kyiv came under attack. This photograph taken on Feb. 27, 2022 shows a Russian Armoured personnel carrier burning next to unidentified soldier's body during fight with the Ukrainian armed forces in Kharkiv On March 2, they ambushed and destroyed a Russian convoy carrying elite Chechen fighters under the National Guard of Russia, killing several - reportedly including the unit's commander - General Magomed Tushayev, although this has been disputed. Ultimately, Ukraine's forces successfully repelled the attempt on the presidential palace and, a month later, Russian forces pulled back entirely from Kyiv. Zelensky and his family - who refused offers from Britain and the US to be evacuated, opting to stay in Kyiv - were not captured or killed, and he has gone on to become a vital wartime leader for his embattled country. But there's a high chance that the outcome would have been vastly different had Ukraine's special forces failed, and the Russian assassins prevailed. Since then, the two countries' Spetsnaz units have been heavily involved in the on-going 14-month conflict, but in vastly different ways. Here, as Ukraine prepares to launch its next counteroffensive against Russia, MailOnline looks at how the paths of their respective Special Operations Forces diverged from the initial clash in the capital... Ukraine Special Operations Forces (SOF) vs Russian Spetsnaz Both Ukrainian and Russian commando units share their roots in the Soviet Union. Known as Spetsnaz, which historically referred to the Soviet Union's Spetsnaz GRU, the units made up the covert operations branch of the military intelligence service and other security services before the union broke up. Because Spetsnaz is a Russian word, it typically refers to Russia's special forces, but with the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991, other post-soviet states also inherited their special forces from the now-defunct Soviet security agencies. As is the case with other military hardware such as tanks, fighter jets and aircraft, Russian and Ukrainian Spetsnaz have also been known to use much of the same equipment - such as various models of AK-74s and Glock sidearms. However, the influx of western weaponry into the Ukrainian military - particularly over the last two years, while Russia has advanced its weaponry from the Soviet era - has meant their equipment has diverged. Differences in how Ukraine and Russian special forces operate have also emerged over the course of the on-going conflict. Ukraine's highly-trained elite units - modelled on western special forces such as Britain's SAS - are limited in number, and so have been deployed in a more conventional and precise way. Pictured: Top-line details on Ukraine's Alpha Team (left) - a special forces unit within the Security Service of Ukraine - and Ukraine's Special Operations Forces (SOF) (right) Pictured: Top-line details on Russia's Special Operations Forces (SOF) (left) and the Wagner mercenary group (right) This has seen them working behind enemy lines to disrupt Russian war efforts, destroy key targets, and organise resistance movements in occupied territories. Videos of Ukraine's forces on the battlefield have shown them using drones (either to drop munitions or guide missiles to their targets) and weapons such as the hand-held Javelin missile launcher to destroy high value targets. Other footage from the Bakhmut battleground has shown Ukrainian snipers using thermal imaging to pick off advancing Russian troops hell-bent on seizing the city. In Russia's case, many of the units classed by Moscow as 'special forces' are often only defined by their super That being said, Russia does boast true special forces units of their own. Known as Russia's Special Operations Forces (SOF), they are independent from the Russian army. While information around their activities in Ukraine since the 2022 invasion remains murky, they are known to have been involved in missions related to the annexation of Crimea in 2014 and during the Syrian Civil War. However, Russia threw many of its best forces into its brazen attempt to capture Kyiv, resulting in heavy casualties. Its doomed assault on Antonov Airport in the first weeks, for example, was deemed a massive failure by Russia's so called 'elite' units. Alpha Group Slightly more is known about the activities of Ukrainian special operations since Russian forces illegally crossed the border on February 24, 2022. There are several military units within Ukraine's own Special Operations Forces, with three being involved in land warfare: The 3rd Special Purpose Regiment, the 8th Special Purpose Regiment and the 140th Special Operations Forces Centre. The 140th is considered the most elite among them, with the unit in 2019 becoming certified as a special ops unit that can be involved in the NATO Response Force, the first from a non-NATO-member state. Meanwhile, the Security Service of Ukraine - Ukraine's law enforcement authority and main intelligence and security agency - also has its own special forces unit known as the 'Alpha Group' which was integral to the defence of Kyiv. The Alpha Group in particular has been visible at key points of the conflict. Pictured: Two Alpha Group personnel are seen during training exercises (file photo) It is understood that the ambush on the Chechen convoy was carried out by the unit, meaning its soldiers were engaged in fighting from the very first days of the war. The Ukrainian side claimed to have destroyed 56 tanks in the convoy and to have killed hundreds of Chechen fighters in the Battle of Hostomel. In addition to the ambush, the unit was reported to have played a key role in repelling a 40-mile convoy advancing on Kyiv. The world watched in horror as satellite images showed hundreds - if not thousands - of Russian armoured vehicles rolled towards the capital, waiting for the seemingly inevitable mass siege and fall of Ukraine's capital city. But then the convoy stalled, and reports from the frontlines brought news of sabotage missions being carried out by a combination of artillery strikes, drones, mines and Ukrainian commandos. Alpha Group has been linked to a number of ambushes in the effort to stop the convoy, reportedly targeting [https://www.wonderhowto.com/search/vehicles/ vehicles] at the front and the rear of the massive armoured column in order to halt the progress of the other vehicles. Videos in the opening phases of the war showed artillery strikes bombarding Russian tanks, but also javelin missiles - fired by hand-held launchers - striking and blowing up Moscow's heavy armour. Soldiers armed with the western anti-tank weapons were able to sneak up on Russian armour, fire their deadly missiles with pinpoint accuracy, and slip away into the dark. Russian troops in the column struggled for food and fuel as the supply line was disrupted, while the constant fear of attack made sleep difficult. As a result, morale among the Russian soldiers in the column fell. The stalled column became emblematic of Russia's early failures in relying on slow-moving soviet-era tactics. By contrast, Ukraine's more mobile special units equipped with modern tech - such as Alpha Group - wreaked havoc on the Russian army. After a month of being bogged down in thick mud and making little to no progress into the capital, the convoy was forced to pull back, along with all Russian forces in the Kyiv region, marking an embarrassing defeat for Vladimir Putin. Pictured: A group of soldiers from Ukraine's Alpha Group pose in the summer of 2022, after liberating Kupiansk during the Kharkiv counteroffensive Pictured: Alpha Group soldiers pose with a Other Alpha Group fighters were also engaged in the doomed defence of Kharkiv, Ukraine's second [https://www.healthynewage.com/?s=largest%20city largest city] just 20 miles from the [https://www.medcheck-up.com/?s=Russian%20border Russian border]. The city was lost within days on account of it being so close to Russia, and a brutal Russian occupation gripped the city. But soon after Russian forces pulled back from Kyiv, Ukraine launched a lightning double-pronged counterattack in the north and south of the country, and Kharkiv was later liberated from Putin's occupying forces. In the north, Russia ceded thousands of miles of territory as Kyiv's forces pushed forward, led by Alpha Group fighters and other special forces units. The elite unit spearheaded Ukraine's efforts to liberate north-east regions of Ukraine, and were pictured by road signs for towns such as Kupiansk - surprising many commentators at how deep they were inside Russian-controlled territory. But it was Russian territory no-longer, and thanks to their efforts, the north-eastern town and many others in the region were rid of the Russian occupiers. Ukraine SOF While the exact operational details of missions carried out by Ukraine's special forces are unlikely to become public any time soon, if ever, the fingerprints of elite units have been all over suspicious and dramatic attacks since the war began. Some such attacks have reached deep over the frontlines into Russian-seized territory, and even Russia itself, prompting speculation of special forces involvement. One example was a huge blast in October 2022 that ripped a hole in the Kerch Bridge, the huge crossing linking Russia to annexed Crimea. Members of Ukrainian special forces engage in zeroing their weapons prior to a mission in the region of Bakhmut, Ukraine, April 6, 2023 The attack was an embarrassing blow for Putin. The bridge - hated by Ukrainians - had been a key project for the despot, and he even personally opened it in 2018. It was also a key supply route for Russian forces in the south of Ukraine. While Ukraine had said the bridge and other sites in Crimea were valid targets for their military, a strike on a target that far away from Ukraine-controlled territory had previously been unthinkable. But on October 8, a fire broke out on the bridge resulting in an explosion. A span of the bridge collapsed into the water below, while the railway bridge was also significantly damaged. Five people were killed. To add to Putin's misery, the explosion struck the day after his 70th birthday and one week after he announced the annexation of four Ukrainian regions - Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk, and Zaporizhzhia - none of which were under full Russian control. The attack caused uproar in Russia, and celebrations in Ukraine. Immediately, questions were being asked: Could Ukraine have done this? To this day, no one has claimed responsibility, and President Zelensky stated that Ukraine 'did not order' the attack. However, many have suspected the involvement of Ukrainian special forces. The foreign minister of Estonia Urmas Reinsalu welcomed the explosion and suggested that Ukrainian special forces were behind it. He recalled that Ukrainian authorities had for a long time been calling for an attack on the bridge. To this day, the exact circumstances of the attack remain unclear. Videos from the bridge do not conclusively show how the attack took place. Some suggested elite units may have used a remote, underwater drone, although the prevailing theory is that a truck bomb was used. But whatever the cause, the blast specifically hit a weak point of the bridge, and even ignited a train carriage carrying large fuel tanks on the adjacent bridge - showing that it was a well planned and orchestrated attack. Speaking to the BBC at the time, a former British army explosives expert said of the blast: 'This is a masterpiece of clandestine sabotage.' Pictured: Black smoke billows from a fire on the Kerch bridge that links Crimea to Russia on October 8, 2022. It is believed that Ukrainian special forces were behind the attack Another attack deep inside Russian territory - this time in Russia itself - which raised the prospect of Ukrainian SOF involvement was . The nuclear-capable Tu-95s - also known as bears - had been used by Russia to attack Ukrainian targets with missiles launched from a great distance, and were seen as a high-value target. But again, the attack took everyone by surprise. Video from the airbase on the morning of December 5 showed a huge flash of an explosion. Three Russian personnel were killed when a fuel truck detonated. The airbase is around 300 miles east of the most eastern point of Ukraine, and even further from the most eastern point currently under Ukrainian control. This means that no artillery in Ukraine's arsenal - even the American HIMARS - have the range to strike it from inside Kyiv's territory. As a result, it is believed that the attack was carried out by a long-range drone which can be launched from 600 miles away, well within range from Ukrainian territory. However, at least one of the strikes is understood to have been made with the help of special forces close to the base, who guided the drones to their target. This was according to a Ukrainian official speaking anonymously to the New York Times. Pictured: A flash is seen from an explosion that struck the Engels-2 airbase near the Russian city of Saratov in December, leaving two long-range bombers damaged Ukrainian commandos are also believed to have been involved in the recapturing of Snake Island, a Ukrainian island located in the Black Sea. Snake Island was captured by Russian forces on the first day of Putin's invasion, when one border guard in its garrison gained near-mythic status. Moments before two Russian warships attacked the island, the crews hailed the garrison telling them to surrender. The border guard responded: 'Russian warship, go f**k yourself.' His remark went viral online and became a rallying cry across all of Ukraine - and even prompted the Ukrainian government to create a postage stamp honouring the soldiers there. From that point on, the island gained a symbolic significance, and not just for its vital tactical position, and on July 1, Ukraine was able to push Russian forces off the landmass once they were in-range of US-provided HIMARS missile systems. However, as Russia retreated, two Su-30 fighter jets bombed the island with phosphorus bombs, perhaps as a scorched-earth tactic to destroy any weapons and equipment left behind to prevent them from falling into Ukrainian hands. This led to Ukrainian military officials suspecting that Russia may have mined the island. Therefore, naval special forces units were sent in. Divers from Ukraine's SOF are understood to have approached the island underwater, [https://www.reddit.com/r/howto/search?q=checking checking] for mines, before other forces moved in. In this photo provided by the Ukrainian Defence Ministry Press Office on Thursday, July 7, 2022, Ukrainian soldiers install the state flag on Snake island after recapturing it from Russia Since the war began, there have been a suspicious number of assassinations of high-profile Russian officials, either in Russia itself or in occupied territory. One of the objectives of Ukraine's special forces since the war broke out has been to organise resistance movements in towns and cities captured by Russia, and [https://sulitair.solokkab.go.id/ bokep indonesia] these movements are suspected of being behind such attacks. A number of car bombs have been reported, in which officials - such as Russian-installed mayors - have been blown up. One high-profile attack was the assassination of Darya Dugina in Bolshie Vyazyomy, on the outskirts of Moscow, on August 20, 2022. Dugina was the daughter of Aleksandr Dugin, a supporter of Vladimir Putin and a far-right political philosopher, who has been a key supporter of the invasion of Ukraine. She is understood to have shared her father's views. Dugina's car exploded at around 9.45pm. Reports suggested that her father had been due to travel with her, but switched cars at the last minute. Investigators later said they found an explosive device fixed to the underside of her car. Two days after the attack, the Russian Federal Security Service (FSB) claimed the Ukrainian special forces were behind the killing. Pictured: Darya Dugina, 29, was killed in a car bomb attack in Moscow in August 2022 Pictured left: Flames are seen from the car that was blown up in August 2022, killing Darya Dugina. Right: The burnt-out wreckage of her car is seen after the attack Russian SOF While Ukraine's special forces have set about covertly wreaking havoc behind enemy lines, and on Russia's early attempts to seize Kyiv, the role of Russia's Spetsnaz have - from what we know - been far less subtle or effective. According to American documents that were leaked online last month, Russia's senior commanders ordered their elite forces into direct combat in the early phases of the war- not trusting their, showed before-and-after satellite imagery of a base used by the 22nd Separate Spetsnaz Brigade. The images of the base in southern Russia reveal that 'all but one of five Russian Separate Spetsnaz Brigades that returned from combat operations in Ukraine in late summer 2022 suffered significant losses,' The Post reports. The satellite images show the base in November 2021, and again a year later. The earlier image shows a well populated base full of vehicles, while the second is far more empty - which the US intel concluded shows a state of extreme depletion. The assessment says the 22nd Separate Spetsnaz Brigade as well as two other units have suffered an estimated 90 to 95 per cent attrition rate, The Post says. Russian spetsnaz officers march during the general rehearsals of the Victory Day Parade in front of the Kremlin at Red Square, on May 7, 2021 It takes four years for Russia to train a Spetsnaz soldier, according to the documents seen by the American publication, which concludes that it could take as long as a decade for Moscow to replenish its ranks of these elite units. Observers have expressed their shock over the tactic. Rob Lee, a Russia military expert and [https://wideinfo.org/?s=senior%20fellow senior fellow] with the Foreign Policy Research Institute, told The Post that by pushing special units to the front lines, Russian commanders have burned through them at an alarming rate. According to Sibylline's Alexander Lord, while the structure of Ukraine's special forces is now similar to those in the west, Russia takes a different approach. 'Russia's Spetsnaz 'special designation' forces have a particular reputation, which often leads to direct comparisons with the UK's SAS or US Delta Force special forces,' he explains to MailOnline. 'However, the organisation of the Spetsnaz is not directly comparable to the Western concept of special forces.' One such difference, he says, is the fact that Russian conscripts form a 'significant contingent' of Russia's Spetsnaz units. 'The majority of Spetsnaz units are essentially good light infantry and reconnaissance forces, rather than top-tier special forces akin to the SAS,' Lord says. Therefore, Spetsnaz is not one single elite force, but instead should be viewed as 'highly diverse units that form part of a complex network of competing elite special forces, largely borne of the Kremlin's desire to avoid over reliance on a single force.' On account of different factions forming between Russia's supposed elite units, they often compete with each other for resources, or even with other Russian units such as the FSB's commando forces or the Foreign Intelligence Service's Zaslon unit. Lord says that Russia has deployed many of its elite forces, including Spetsnaz and VDV - the Russian Airborne Forces (which also suffered huge casualties in the early days of the war) - to prop up its front-line infantry. Watch: 'Moscow also did this in Chechnya and Georgia, and in many instances it has led to highly wasteful deployments of some of Russia's most competent forces,' he says. Pointing to Bakhmut as an example, he said the defensive efforts there by poorly trained infantry are becoming increasingly reliant on elite VDV units. General Colonel Mikhail Teplinsky, commander of the VDV, was recently appointed deputy commander of Russian operations in Ukraine - illustrating the growing importance of the Lord says the distinction 'between Russia's elite forces are becoming increasingly meaningless' as Putin's generals become more reliant on poorly trained reservists. These, he says, are being used 'to plug personnel gaps across the full-breadth of the Russian military - including its special forces.' One such example is the well respected 155th Naval Infantry Brigade, which was almost entirely wiped out in Ukraine and reconstituted with poorly trained troops. Lord says: 'This highly attritional war has seen a large proportion of Russia's well-trained units steadily wiped out and degraded, and the same has been true of its special forces.' Meanwhile, the activities of Russia's 'true' special forces units that are more akin to western units and those formed by Ukraine remain clouded in secrecy. Wagner PMC One group that has come out of the shadows since the invasion was launched is the notorious Wagner Private Military Company. The war has seen the mercenary group - seen as the de fato army of President Putin - shift from a secretive Moscow unit allegedly hired to carry out Putin's dubious activities in Syria and Africa (where Russia has military and mining interests) to a mainstream militia widely talked about in the media. And while Wagner had previously been seen as an off-the-books special forces unit doing the clandestine bidding of Putin around the world, they too have been used to prop-up ordinary Russian units as they take heavy casualties in Ukraine. The group was first known to be active in Ukraine in 2014 during Russia's annexation of the Crimean peninsula, where they operated with Moscow's own units. Visitors wearing military camouflage stand at the entrance of the 'PMC Wagner Centre', which is associated with businessman and founder of the Wagner private military group Yevgeny Prigozhin, during the official opening of the office block during National Unity Day, in St. Petersburg, Russia, on November 4, 2022 They were soon deployed to the Donbas, where a conflict was raging between the Ukrainian government and pro-Russian forces. There, they were able to help the Russian sympathisers destabilise local governments and take control of towns. The PMCs conducted stealth attacks, reconnaissance, intelligence-gathering and accompanied VIPs - activities that would be expected from special forces units. Later, in January 2022 and a month before Putin ordered the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, The Times reported that 400 Wagner mercenaries were flown from the Central African Republic tasked with assassinating Ukraine's President Zelensky. The plan was for the mercenaries to take control of the government in Kyiv and lay the groundwork for Russia to install a puppet government in its place. By March 3, The Times reported that the Ukrainian leader had survived three assassination attempts - two of which were orchestrated by Wagner. The group was also accused of being responsible for war crimes in the region surrounding Kyiv, with reports of torture and executions of prisoners of war. It was also implicated in the Bucha massacre where 419 civilians were killed. However, as with Russia's other supposed 'elite' units, Wagner's role over the course of the war has shifted from attempting clandestine missions to being used as a blunt instrument to try and overwhelm Ukrainian defences. After pulling back from Kyiv, Russia refocused its efforts on capturing territory in the east of Ukraine. Moscow's armies made steady advances, but were brought to a halt around the city of Bakhmut, where fighting continues to this day. In late 2022, Wagner's leader Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed his troops - and his troops alone - were responsible for the capture of smaller towns around the city. Around the same time, it began to emerge that Wagner had been recruiting convicts from Russian prisons to bolster its numbers. With the promise of a pardon if a recruited convict served and survived for six months, as many as 50,000 signed up. What was - a matter of months ago - seen as an elite, off the books unit capable of carrying out missions Russia's army otherwise could not, Wagner's forces instead became cannon fodder for Moscow's military. Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin poses with Wagner fighters in Soledar, in a video in which he claimed his forces had seized the small town near Bakhmut Fighting for the city descended into bloodshed, with Ukrainians likening the battle for Bakhmut to a First World War 'meatgrinder' as Wagner crashed thousands of its convict troops against a wall of machine guns and artillery strikes. After months of brutal fighting, they had been trying in vain to capture since last summer. Prigozhin said they would withdraw on May 10 - ending their involvement in the longest and bloodiest battle of the war - because of heavy losses and inadequate ammunition supplies. He asked defence chiefs to insert regular army troops in their place. 'I declare on behalf of the Wagner fighters, on behalf of the Wagner command, that on May 10, 2023, we are obliged to transfer positions in the settlement of Bakhmut to units of the defence ministry and withdraw the remains of Wagner to logistics camps to lick our wounds,' Prigozhin said in a statement. 'I'm pulling Wagner units out of Bakhmut because in the absence of ammunition they're doomed to perish senselessly.' Earlier on Friday he appeared in a video surrounded by dozens of corpses he said were Wagner fighters, and was shown yelling and swearing at Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov. 'We have a 70% shortage of ammunition. Shoigu! Gerasimov! Where is the ******* ammunition?' he shouted into the camera. His tirade contained a torrent of expletives that were bleeped out by his press service. What next for special forces in Ukraine? Prigozhin's announcement comes at a key juncture in the war, with Ukraine expected to launch a long-anticipated counter-offensive imminently. There have already been signs that Ukrainian special forces are once again spearheading the attack, with reports last month saying the highly-trained units had already crossed the Dnieper river, probing for weak points in Russian fortifications. Should Ukraine use the same tactics as it did in its dramatic counteroffensives last year, then we can expect to hear more whispers of Ukrainian commando units carrying out dramatic attacks behind enemy lines. Russia, meanwhile, is facing the prospect of a military force that is increasingly made up of poorly trained reservists. If it continues on the path of placing its most elite units on the frontlines, then even more are expected to die.
