In June, Turkey and the United States struck a deal regarding Manbij, agreeing that the US-backed Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) would withdraw from the city and yield control over Manbij to the Turkish and US troops.

City authorities and the military council of Syria's Manbij would like to transfer it under the control of the Syrian government army after Kurdish militants' withdrawal, Al Watan newspaper reported Saturday citing its sources.

"The military council and the majority of residents consider Turkey an occupying country that wants to oust the Kurds from their territory, as it was done in Afrin, so they want the return of the Syrian authorities in the city," the source said.

The talks between the council and representatives of the Syrian state are underway, and Moscow is aware about them, the source added.

"[Russia] will enter into negotiations with Turkey to satisfy the wishes of the inhabitants of Manbij, who are rejecting the Turkish presence," the source stressed.

Comment: Notice that 'Situation with Russia' is way down the list with 1 single point between February and April and wasn't even mentioned afterwards. That is in spite of the hysterical media campaign.

Police stand by & watch as Ukrainian radical ties up & publicly humiliates 'Russia-lover'

Oleksandr Tarnavskyi public punishment Ukraine

In a shocking scene filmed in Ukraine, police officers would not intervene as a group of radicals staged a pillorying of a man, whom they branded a pedophile and a supporter of the 'Russian world'.

The impromptu medieval public punishment happened in Chernigov, a city in northern Ukraine with a population of less than 300,000. The victim was apparently the man, who was detained a few days ago by the local police for throwing a bottle at a monument to the Heavenly Hundred, the victims of the 2014 Maidan violence. Police at the time identified the man as a convicted sex offender of minors, who had been released from prison a month earlier after serving a lengthy sentence.

The controversial video was livestreamed on Facebook by Oleksandr Tarnavskyi, who according to his page has ties to the notorious Azov Battalion, a unit in the Ukrainian Interior Ministry with strong ties to right-wing radicals and neo-Nazis. The half-hour clip shows a couple of young men sitting a few meters from a road sign pole. Tied to the pole is a man, who seems to be in his 60s, with a note taped to his chest. The note says: "I am a vatnik [derogatory term for a Russian used in Ukraine]. I was raped in jail. I damaged the monument to the Heavenly Hundred. Spit at me."

Croatia's World Cup football team was called "dramatically uniform" and "without colour" (or too white) by a major French 'anti racist' NGO, news outlet Valeurs Actuelles reports.

The LICRA (in english : International League against Racism and Antisemitism), is a supposed anti racist organisation. Yet on 15 July remarks made by the organisation regarding Croatia's football team can only be described as racist.

The LICRA is perhaps the most influential of all anti racist NGOs in France, having the right to sue anyone they deem racist.

Comment: This racist Tweet upset even LICRA's national leadership, who are now calling for the resignation of their Paris office.

A transgender woman in Arizona is speaking out after she says a CVS pharmacist denied her hormone prescription.

The pharmacist questioned her loudly in front of other customers and rejected her and her doctor's requests to transfer the prescription to another location, Hilde Hall said in a blog post published on the ACLU of Arizona's website Thursday.

News of the encounter comes weeks after another woman, Nicole Arteaga, was denied her miscarriage medication at a Walgreens pharmacy in Peoria.

Arizona is one of six states that allows pharmacies and pharmacists to refuse to fill a prescription on religious or moral grounds. The pharmacy isn't required to transfer refused prescriptions, but companies may make workplace polices that require referrals.

Hall said the prescription marked her first round of hormone therapy.

Catholic Chaplain at Scottish University fired for opposing gay pride

A Scottish university fired its Catholic chaplain this week after the priest held a liturgical service in reparation for the sins of Gay Pride.

Fr. Mark Morris conducted a rosary, litany, and benediction at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church on Monday night to atone for the "gross offence to God" of Glasgow Pride and the next day Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) announced that his work as Catholic chaplain was terminated because his views conflicted with those of the educational institution.

"Following due consultation Father Mark Morris will not return to his chaplaincy role at the university in September," said Professor Pamela Gillies, principal and vice-chancellor of GCU, a public university of some 16,000 students.

Comment: Ah, the hypocrisy of the left. Identity politics preaches acceptance and diversity, but are anti-Christian (yet pro-Muslim, for some reason) and clearly have no tolerance for diversity of opinion. Anti-Christian sentiment is growing in these leftist circles and it's manifesting in more egregious ways every day.

Israel and Hamas have agreed to restore calm in the Gaza Strip, a spokesman for Hamas told Reuters on Saturday.

"With Egyptian and United Nations efforts it has been agreed to return to the era of calm between (Israel) and Palestinian factions," Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum was quoted as saying by Reuters.

The Jerusalem Post reported on Saturday that Israel and Hamas agreed to cease fire in the Gaza Strip after a day of cross-border hostilities, adding that Palestinian armed groups in the enclave have confirmed to mediators in Egypt their willingness to restore peace.

"Egyptian and international efforts have brought a lull in fighting between the occupying forces and Palestinian groups," Barhum said.

Earlier in the day, Israeli forces unleashed a series of strikes on more than 40 Hamas military targets in the Gaza Strip.

"Israel's military said its aircraft and tanks targeted 40 Hamas posts and that the strikes formed part of a 'wide-scale attack' in response to the border shooting," the IDF's Jonathan Conricus tweeted.

Comment: Just like the U.S. - and jihadis - ceasefires mean nothing to Israel:
IDF Tank Strikes Hamas Outpost in Gaza Strip After Ceasefire Reached

French mayor fined for refusing mosque construction permit, given deadline to grant it

Mantes-la-Ville's mayor, Cyril Nauth, was fined on July 11th for refusing to grant a construction permit for a mosque, newspaper Le Parisien reports.

On Wesneday, Cyril Nauth was not only heavily hit with a 3,000 Euros fine, but also given an extension of one month for him to accept the permit.

If the mayor doesn't comply with the Versaille's administrative judges, he'll get a fine of 150 Euros everyday past that deadline.

In a statement, the Muslims Association of South Mantes, through their president Abdelaziz El Jaouhari, welcomed the decision:

"For dogmatic reasons, the mayor has bogged down the city in lengthy and expensive procedures by trampling on basic rules of law. The [...] thousands of euros spent by the mayor in these procedures could have been invested in services to the population that the city badly needs. With determination we will continue to preserve co-existence of peoples and to fight against all extremism regardless of where they come from."
