One of the leaders of right-wing Sweden Democrats Party (SDP) has called for a ban on non-medical male circumcision, dubbing the practice "backward" child abuse in a draft motion put to Swedish parliament.

Sweden Democrats Secretary Richard Jomshof put forward the non-binding motion, entitled "Prohibition of non-medical circumcision," calling for parliament to act on a procedure that the SDP considers "regular abuse of the individual child as well as an infringement of the child's integrity and self-determination." A vote on the circumcision motion has not yet been scheduled.

If the motion is approved, the ban would mean that circumcisions could no longer be carried out for religious reasons. Jews perform the procedure on 8-day-old babies, while those of the Muslim faith perform the cut later in childhood.

Social Democrat Prime Minister Stefan Lofven previously stated that the SDP is "rooted in racism and Nazism," and voting for them is"dangerous" for the nation, adding that a vote for the anti-immigration party was "like trying to quench fire with alcohol." The Sweden Democrats hold 18 percent of the seats in parliament.

The US swimming authorities have voted to introduce a new "stated gender" section for registering athletes who want to choose which gender they compete as.

The proposal, known as R-1, was voted on by USA Swimming's annual House of Delegates (HOD).

It outlines the rights of transgender athletes, and states that swimmers can choose male or female gender identity "to support a sport culture of inclusion and diversity, while assuring a fair competitive environment."

A Pakistani ice cream seller says he is the "unluckiest man in the world" as he only discovered he was the owner of a bank account worth billions once the funds had already been withdrawn.

The Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) on Sunday froze the bank account of Abdul Qadir from Karachi, after 2.25 billion rupees ($27mn) was found sitting in the account.

The agency is understood to have traced the account, held in a private bank, as part of an ongoing probe into fake accounts used for money laundering, in which Pakistan's former president Asif Ali Zardari is also alleged to be involved in.

"I am the most unlucky man in the world. When I came to know about [the huge sum], it was no longer there," the 52-year-old said in a television interview.

Creative capitalism? Switzerland as a model for Western civilization

Is there any hope in the Western World that individual citizens can win some release from the relentless and imprisoning growth of government? In the US, government spending, a reasonable proxy for their power over us, increases every year, except for a few minor blips. The citizens' situation becomes more and more dire. We have precious little say and little influence over our taxes, our health care, our energy and water supplies and costs, not to mention the social rules with which the government constrains us. The number of rules and regulations, using the proxy of pages in the Federal Register, also increases every year, and very few rules are removed. The government closes in on us more and more every day.

There is one western country that we might look at to see a glimpse of hope. That country is Switzerland. In a small landlocked country with precious little in the way of natural resources except water, the people have created a high level of prosperity based on innovation and creative capitalism.

Comment: Switzerland hasn't entirely escaped the ills plaguing Western economies:

Bezos' move to raise Amazon wages is a Machiavellian ploy

For the many low wage Amazon workers - both full time and temporary - set to receive a raise thanks to the just announced boost in minimum pay to $15/hour, the news is certainly a big plus. It should also be noted that had Amazon not been subject to intense scrutiny and criticism from the likes of Bernie Sanders and others, Jeff Bezos never would have responded with such an aggressive move. That said, if you think a little beyond the surface level about why he's doing this now and what his real motives are, it becomes clear nobody should take this move at face value.

Stacy Mitchell, co-director at the Institute for Local Self-Reliance, is someone whose work on Amazon I've cited on various occasions. She tweeted out an important thread this morning that helps you take a step back and not miss the forest for the trees.

Crooked cop caught on his own body camera robbing an elderly man having a heart attack

Officer Linnard R. Crouch was seen on his own body camera - not helping a 74-year-old man who was having a heart attack - but robbing him. The elderly victim, James Mabe had the cash to go buy Christmas presents for his grandchildren, but because the cop robbed him instead of helped him he'd never make it. Now, the officer who stole a dying elderly man's Christmas money will not be going to jail.

Last month, with almost no news coverage, Crouch pleaded guilty to robbing the elderly dying man. Instead of being punished for his utter betrayal of public trust and despicable act, Crouch was given probation and will not spend one day behind bars.

But that's not all, Crouch has a history of corruption. Crouch was suspended prior to robbing a dying elderly man on Christmas after several complaints were filed against him, dating back to 2011.

The former officer failed to complete incident reports, left information out of other completed reports and failed to wear his body camera at all times while on duty, according to a 68-page notice of suspension and a list of official complaints included as an exhibit with Linda Mabe's lawsuit filed last year.

Tonnes of human body parts, including amputated limbs, have been piling up in NHS hospitals, due to failures of a private health company. A criminal investigation has been launched.

According to the Environment Agency (EA), Healthcare Environment Services Ltd (HES) breached its permits at five sites in England that deal with human and pharmaceutical waste. HES claim there has been "reduced incineration capacity" in the UK over the last year.

A criminal inquiry has been launched after it was found that tonnes of waste, including amputated limbs were not being disposed of properly, reported the Health Service Journal (HSJ).

The journal states that government officials were so alarmed by the issue, a COBRA meeting, chaired by health secretary Matt Hancock was convened. Hancock has thus far, failed to notify parliament about the scandal.

pro-Kavanaugh demonstration
Students at the University of Texas-Austin (UTA) held a demonstration in support of Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh. But their attempts to protest peacefully on campus were met with resistance.

The Young Conservatives of Texas at UT Austin (YCT) held a pro-Kavanaugh demonstration on Tuesday as counter-protesters aggressively tried to stop the event from occurring, yelling "this is a fuck you to survivors" and claiming that the demonstration threatened "the safety of students on campus.

The Senior Associate Dean of Students, Douglas Carrard, attempted to defuse the situation, telling the protesters "you guys can express your views, and they can express their views." Carrard was met with opposition from the counter-protesters, one of whom stated that the YCT demonstration was "a threat to minorities everywhere."

The YCT members held signs saying "#MeToo Gone #TooFar!," "Kava-Not Guilty," "Kavanaugh Did Nothing Wrong," and more, but some of the signs were torn apart by counter-protesters at the event. When one YCT member asked the protesters if they wanted to talk about the Kavanaugh sexual assault allegations in a civil way, a counter-protester shouted at him "do you think we give a fuck about your views?"

Homestay website Airbnb has booted a host from its platform after the host declined to accept a Muslim guest, telling a British PhD student she would not "fit" into their neighborhood due to her veil.

25-year-old British neuroscience student Nurjahan Saleque is doing her PhD in Hamburg, Germany. Tired of her commute, she saw an apartment on Airbnb closer to the city that seemed perfect. She reached out to the host 'Claudia' -Airbnb only provides the first names of hosts- but her request was declined despite the room being available.

According to screenshots of Saleque's messages to Claudia, the reason for her rejection was soon clear. "Im (sic) sorry Nurjahan but as I saw you were wearing a veil I don't think you'd fit into our neighbourhood," Claudia's response reads.

Comment: This incident highlights the pitfalls posed by Germany's acceptance of millions of migrants - its cities are being overwhelmed and people who may have been tolerant and accepting of other cultures are now becoming much less so:
