German police officer Rouven L. partially predicted his own death, saying that “young Arab men have a very short fuse” and “are quick to use a knife”.

For the first time since German police officer Rouven L. was stabbed to death by an Afghan Islamist who had been living in Germany for eight years illegally, the family of the victim is speaking out, with multiple interviews with the mother and sisters featured on a documentary from German public media station Südwestrundfunk (SWR).

In fact, the sister of Rouven L. said that her brother knew the dangers of policing the event in Mannheim, which was hosted by the anti-Islam group Pax Europa, and even made a number of comments predicting exactly what would come to pass.

Rouven L.’s sister spoke with him the day before the police operation, where he told her he had read about Pax Europa extensively beforehand, which is led by German political activist Michael Stürzenberger, who was the first targeted by the Afghan Sulaiman Ataee, who stabbed Stürzenberger, multiple times. While Rouven L. was no supporter of the movement, he told his sister that the event could pose a significant danger and that riots could be expected, saying that “the young Arab men have a very short fuse” and “are quick to use a knife.”

The sister also noted that her brother said that he knew Stürzenberger and his movement deliberately provoked the highly temperamental Arab men in order to provoke public disorder from their side.

“Something has to change”

However, SWR also interviewed the mother, who said because of the nature of the murder of her son, which was committed by an Afghan migrant, it highlights that “perhaps” Germany’s migration policy needs to be reconsidered. 

“It was important to me that people are aware that something is not right here in Germany,” she said. “Something has to change.”

In the hospital, the family enjoyed one last small comfort and were allowed to “be with Rouven the whole time” until his death. His sisters stayed by his side the entire time.

A total of five members and aids to the Pax Europa group were attacked in Mannheim, with some of them seriously injured. The main target, however, was Stürzberger, who was stabbed several times in his face, chest, and legs, and required emergency surgery.

Rouvan L. heroically tried to intervene to stop Ataee but ended up being stabbed in the neck.

German crime statistics reveal that foreigners are responsible for an overwhelming number of violent crimes in Germany. A record amount of violent crime was recorded in 2023, with foreigners also responsible for a record share of these crimes. The data shows that they are committing 6 in 10 violent crimes in the country and 41 percent of overall crime.

At the same time, surging knife crime also continues to highlight their growing role in public insecurity.

A glitch with Microsoft Windows is said to have caused computer systems to crash around the world, crippling airport and communications operations.

Countries around the world have been hit by a powerful IT outage, crippling air traffic control systems, banks, and broadcasters. Windows 10 users are said to have borne the brunt of the crisis, with media reports and experts attributing the failures to a recent update of CrowdStrike, a web/cloud-based anti-virus which has caused computers to crash.

Problems have so far been reported in Australia, New Zealand, India, and Japan, with the monitoring site Down Detector also showing outages at the Microsoft Store and Amazon, as well Delta and Ryanair airlines, among others.

• 19 July 202412:15 GMT CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz has told NBC that his company is “deeply sorry for the impact that we’ve caused to customers, to travelers, to anyone affected” by the outage. He confirmed that the crash was caused by a software bug in an update which conflicted with Microsoft systems. 
  “We’ve identified it very quickly… The systems come back online as they are rebooted,” he said, adding that CrowdStrike is working with its customers to help them return to normal operations. At the same time, he was unable to say how long exactly it will take to achieve this.

• 11:54 GMTSeveral major Chinese airlines have told CGTN that their operations were not affected by worldwide disruption as they use different IT systems.
• 11:45 GMTThe UK government has held an emergency meeting following the global IT outage, a Downing Street spokeswoman said, adding that UK authorities were “working closely with the respective sectors and industries on this issue.” She confirmed that newly elected Prime Minister Keir Starmer did not chair the meeting but is being kept in the loop, explaining that he had a meeting with Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky.
• 11:35 GMTTesla and Space X CEO Elon Musk has branded the Microsoft outage the “biggest IT fail ever.” He also laughed at a meme comparing Microsoft to the Secret Service following the attempted assassination of Donald Trump, concluding that neither was secure.
• 11:23 GMTMicrosoft has said, as quoted by Reuters, that the underlying cause of the global outage has been fixed, but acknowledged that the residual impact continues to affect some of its apps and services. 
• 11:18 GMTThe White House National Security Council spokesperson told CNN that the Biden administration is aware of the outage and is “looking into the issue and impacts” of the incident.
• 10:56 GMTDubai International Airport says it has returned to normal operations after some of its check-in procedures were affected by the global outage. It noted that “airlines promptly switched to an alternate system, allowing normal check-in operations to resume swiftly.”
• 10:34 GMTAround 30% of McDonald’s outlets in Japan have been forced to suspend operations due to the outage, Kyodo News has reported, citing the local branch of the fast-food giant. It is not yet clear when services can be resumed in full, it added.
• 10:31 GMTRussia’s Ministry of Digital Development said the Microsoft outage was further proof that the country needs to continue weaning itself off foreign software, especially when it comes to critical infrastructure.
• 10:24 GMTThe Kremlin’s IT systems have not been affected by the Microsoft outage, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said. Flight and railway authorities in Russia have also confirmed that their operations continue unimpeded.

Witold Waszczykowski, the former head of Poland’s diplomacy, has warned that Ursula von der Leyen’s controversial agenda as the European Commission president will spark widespread street protests across the continent.

In an interview with wPolityce.pl, Witold Waszczykowski, the former Polish minister of foreign affairs and a former MEP for Law and Justice Party (PiS), has expressed his strong disapproval of Ursula von der Leyen’s reelection as the head of the European Commission. Waszczykowski believes that von der Leyen’s second term will be marked by confrontational street protests due to her ambitious and, in his view, unrealistic promises.

Waszczykowski predicts that von der Leyen’s agenda will lead to protests by farmers and workers on the streets of European cities. 

“Citizens will pay more and more for these ideas,” he warned, recalling the “yellow vests” movement in France and suggesting that such protests could spread across Europe. “These bureaucratic whims will not be accepted by ordinary people,” he added.

He also points to the corruption he says was inherent during von der Leyen’s term as president.

“Von der Leyen’s previous term was riddled with scandals and blunders,” Waszczykowski stated. “From the vaccine procurement scandal involving SMS messages to the Brexit debacle and the ‘Qatargate’ corruption scandal, her tenure has been far from exemplary.”

He also criticized the EU commission’s handling of the Russian aggression in 2022, arguing that the EU’s response was too slow and ineffective.

Despite these criticisms, von der Leyen secured a second term, a fact that Waszczykowski attributes to her pre-election pact with the left and the Greens. 

“By promising support for the Green Deal and constitutional changes outside the Treaty, she secured a majority,” he said.

Waszczykowski also questioned why some MEPs from the European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) supported von der Leyen. He suggested that their support stemmed from a fear of being marginalized by the majority political mainstream and a desire to maintain some influence. 

“Many conservative circles in the West practice a symptom-free conservatism,” he said, “using conservative rhetoric but acting like liberals.”

The former minister believes that PiS’ current strategy is flawed and that they should have joined forces with Marine Le Pen’s Patriots for Europe to build a strong conservative bloc and negotiate changes within the EU.

As for von der Leyen’s promises and announcements during the debate, Waszczykowski compared them to the unrealistic pledges made by Donald Tusk in Poland. 

“These are all pipe dreams,” he said. “The EU is being sidelined by China and the U.S. and especially by an aggressive Russia. Von der Leyen herself experienced this in Ankara when she was not even offered a chair next to President Erdoğan.”

He also anticipates that von der Leyen’s second term will further the trend towards a super state, with decisions being made at the EU level by majority vote, potentially leading to coercion and blackmail tactics similar to those used by Tusk in Poland.

“Countries, including Poland, will be afraid to leave the EU for geopolitical reasons,” Waszczykowski said, “and will be forced to accept all these eccentricities under the threat of Polexit.”

Unless significant socio-political movements emerge to oppose these changes, Waszczykowski fears that Europe will be pushed towards a future that many will find unacceptable but be unable to stop.

And, the Spanish PM wants to make sure the “trusty” legacy media (referred to as “traditional” in reports appearing in – the legacy media) are given a leg up in a competitive market.

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez is pushing for new rules to be adopted with the stated aim of stopping the spread of “fake news” – specifically that which he brands as being “largely finances by the extreme right.”

But the opposition there remains unconvinced that this is not simply another initiative to censor media outlets that the government dislikes, sold to the public as a new way to rein in “digital tabloids that spread hoaxes.”

Despite, or because of these suspicions, that the government’s activities are aimed at stifling the very foundations of democracy, free speech, and media, Sanchez chose to “sell” his proposal to Spain’s parliament as necessary – to protect democracy.

“Without reliable and diverse sources of information, the citizens are blind,” Sanchez is quoted as declaring.

He’s not wrong – but actions, as well as context, speak louder than words. Not only is Sanchez’s “law on censorship,” as opponents are calling it, supposed to align with the EU’s Media Freedom Act, but it also comes at a particularly sensitive time for Sanchez personally.

Namely, his wife is about to testify in court in a corruption scandal, which the prime minister has previously said was fabricated for political reasons “by right-wing media,” and to assist the opposition.

And announcements of new rules around media outlets were first heard from the head of government earlier this month, when the wife, Begona Gomez, made her first court appearance in the case.

The most influential among the opposition, the People’s Party, has no doubt that Sanchez is simply out to control the media publishing content critical of him.

Sanchez, on the other hand, insists the new rules would apply equally to all media without favoritism. Some of the proposed measures include identifying “all shareholders with influence over editorial policy” – which would require a strong and clear definition of who qualifies before it would ever be accepted as fair by critics.

And, the Spanish PM wants to make sure the “trusty” legacy media (referred to as “traditional” in reports appearing in – the legacy media) are given a leg up in a competitive market.

Namely, the plan is to subsidize their transition to digital with €100 million ($109 million).

Led by Ralph Norman, Tim Scott, and Lindsey Graham, GOP members of Congress are asking the Supreme Court to reverse a Fourth Circuit ruling that South Carolina must allow Planned Parenthood into its Medicaid program.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) – Sixty-eight Republican members of Congress signed onto an amicus brief filed July 5 in support of South Carolina’s right to exclude Planned Parenthood and other abortion businesses from the state Medicaid program.

In March, the U.S. Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that South Carolina had to restore Medicaid funds to Planned Parenthood after deeming the abortion giant not qualified, claiming Medicaid recipients had a right to the provider of their choice. The U.S. Supreme Court had previously ordered the Fourth Circuit to reconsider its prior ruling to that effect in light of its Talevski ruling, which concerned whether the Federal Nursing Home Reform Act (FNHRA) created federal rights healthcare recipients could enforce via lawsuits.

“Congress did not unambiguously create a right for Medicaid recipients to drag states into federal court to challenge those decisions, so no such right exists,” Alliance Defending Freedom senior counsel and vice president of appellate advocacy John Bursch said. “The Supreme Court’s recent decision in Talevski makes that even clearer.”

The brief to the Supreme Court, headed by South Carolina Republican Rep. Ralph Norman, Sen. Lindsey Graham, and Sen. Tim Scott and signed by a total of seven senators and 58 House members, argues that the Fourth Circuit’s decision “will open the door to costly and unwarranted litigation and will undermine Congress’s prerogative to decide whether a statute should be enforced through private litigation.”

“Congress alone can create private rights of action. Amici believe that because Congress has not spoken clearly here, Section 1983 cannot support Planned Parenthood’s or its client’s claims to a private right of action under the Medicaid Act’s any-qualified-provider provision,” it argues. “Congress knows how to create a private right of action, but it did not do so here. Amici therefore urge this Court to grant the petition and reverse the decision.”

“Private parties like Planned Parenthood have no right to undermine congressional intent by forcing states to say that Planned Parenthood is a qualified Medicaid provider,” Norman said. “South Carolina has every right to determine what qualifies and disqualifies Medicaid healthcare providers operating within our state. That was precisely the intent of Congress. My hope is the Court will see this lawsuit for what it truly is: a misguided attempt to undermine that authority.”

“The people of South Carolina have made it clear they support the right to life, and therefore, should not be forced to spend taxpayer dollars to fund abortion providers like Planned Parenthood,” South Carolina Gov. Henry McMaster added. “I thank Congressman Norman, Senator Graham, Senator Scott, and the 65 other members of Congress who are standing with South Carolina to oppose this federal overreach and protect our ability to defend our values.”

Fourteen states currently ban all or most abortions. But the abortion lobby is working feverishly to cancel out those deterrent effects by deregulated interstate distribution of abortion pills, legal protection and financial support of interstate abortion travel, constructing new abortion facilities near borders shared by pro-life and pro-abortion states, making liberal states sanctuaries for those who want to evade or violate the laws of more pro-life neighbors, and enshrining abortion “rights” in state constitutions.

Taxpayer funding is key to perpetuating the abortion industry in the post-Roe v. Wadelandscape. Nationally, Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s annual report released in April reveals that the organization committed 392,715 abortions in the most recent reporting period, a record number. Planned Parenthood received $699.3 million in government grants and reimbursements in 2023, a 4.2 percent rise over its funding the previous year.
