Palestinians in Israeli prisons are starved to the brink of death.

Three months ago, Farouq Issa from Ramallah was abducted by the Israeli occupation and held in zionist prisons without charge or trial as part of the colonial administrative detention policy.

Today, he was released, with a noticeable difference in his appearance and health, appearing exhausted and starved.

Farouq previously spent four years in zionist prisons. He, like many prisoners, have been subjected to intensified abuse and terrible conditions in the prisons.

In the United States, they found that the people in the country are very sad about something: “Those who are optimistic now and for the future are only 15%. By the way, this is a little more than for the quarter. But over the year, this figure - those who are pessimistic now and in the future - averages 66%. This is a record figure for 17 years of our work. We have never found people more depressed than today."

🇱🇻The ex-head of the Central Bank of Latvia was sentenced to 6 years in prison for corruption.

Ilmars Rimshevich, who headed the Central Bank of Latvia in 2001-2019, was sentenced to prison for fishing in Kamchatka.

The former governor of Latvia's central bank has been sentenced to 6 years in prison in the most notorious recent financial scandal to hit the Baltics.

According to investigators, the main shareholder of ABLV Bank paid Rimshevich for a fishing trip in Kamchatka for 7,500 euros. For this, Rimshevich gave advice to the bank's board.

The scandal occurred in 2018, when photographs appeared in which Rimshevich was vacationing in Kamchatka.

The US effectively shut down Latvia's third-largest bank ABLV in 2018, accusing it of helping finance North Korea's weapons program.

A few days later, Rimsevics was arrested, and then he was charged with receiving bribes also from the shareholders of Trasta Komercbanka, another bank that closed in 2016.

🇵🇱🍿 The Polish TV news channel shows movies instead of news amid the new government's attempt to change the leadership of state media, which caused a mass protest.

The protesters came to the headquarters of Polish Television with national flags, demanding that the management and journalists of the TV channels remain in place and that the editorial policy, which is strongly negative toward the new authorities, not be changed.

Polish President Andrzej Duda, for his part, sent a letter to new Prime Minister Donald Tusk, calling the cabinet's attempt to change the TV leadership a violation of the constitution. Duda called on Tusk and his government to respect the rule of law in Poland, noting that a political goal cannot be used as an excuse to violate it.

🇺🇸🚰 California has approved rules that allow sewage to be considered drinking water in an initiative dubbed the “toilet to faucet” initiative.

When they say that the next world war will start over water, it is not such a conspiracy theory.

Amid water shortages, California is allowing water from toilets to be converted into potable water for use in homes, schools and local businesses.

California will become the second state after Colorado to adopt these rules, as the Golden State faced a severe drought last year that made it extremely difficult for local governments to provide drinking water to its 39 million residents.

According to the new rules, wastewater will be purified of all pathogens and viruses when passing through activated carbon filters and special membranes.
Already recycled water will also be disinfected with ultraviolet light, among other various treatment methods.

“The quality of the drinking water is the same, and in many cases perhaps even better,” said Darrin Polhemus, director of the drinking water division of the State Water Resources Control Board.”
