Consumption must be reduced by 30% to avoid shortages, a study suggests.

German households need to cut their natural gas consumption even more than they already have done to avoid shortages, according to an energy study published on Thursday.
"Pre-crisis gas consumption needs to come down by 30%", Der Spiegel quoted Gunnar Luderer from the Ariadne project at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research, who released the research.
Such a level of saving would help Germany avoid gas shortages and supply interruptions, Der Spiegel writes.

Flames could be seen on the ground as the man threw a petrol bomb with a firework attached of the car window
A 'laughing' man hurled three petrol bombs at a Dover immigration centre before driving to a nearby petrol station to 'kill himself', with an army bomb squad then moving in to inspect the car over fears of more explosives.

The attacker, a white man wearing a checked shirt, drove up to the centre in a white SEAT sports utility vehicle on Sunday morning.

He threw three petrol bombs with fireworks, one of which did not go off, a photographer said.

He reportedly drove to a nearby petrol station to kill himself, it was said. Police arrived minutes afterwards and cordoned off the area.

Witnesses at the scene described seeing the man laughing as he threw the bombs, as others reported hearing an explosion at the scene.

Rescue operation under way following failure of pedestrian suspension bridge in city of Morbi
At least 81 people were killed when a pedestrian bridge over a river in the western Indian state of Gujarat collapsed, plunging hundreds of people into the water, officials have said.

Authorities said that more than 150 people were on the suspension bridge over the Machchhu River in the city of Morbi at the time of the collapse.

TV footage showed dozens of people clinging on to the cables and twisted remains of the bridge as emergency teams struggled to rescue them. Some clambered up the broken structure to try to make their way to the riverbanks, while others swam to safety.

Prateek Vasava, who swam to the riverbank after falling from the bridge, told 24 Hours local news channel that he witnessed several children fall into the river.

The percentage of Americans who think local crime is getting worse hit the highest level in five decades, according to a Gallup poll released on Oct. 28.

A record 56 percent of respondents said they believe there is more crime locally now that there was a year ago.

Nearly four in five (78 percent) said crime increased nationwide since last year, a 33-year-high, according to Gallup, which has conducted the survey every year since 1972.

The Oct. 3-20 random-sample survey of 1,009 adults living in all 50 states and the District of Columbia also found that concern about being a victim of crime has sharply increased since 2021.

The 56 percent who believe there is more crime where they live is 5 percentage points higher than results from the same Gallup poll conducted last year, and 2 percentage points above the previous record set in 1972. More than 28 percent said crime has decreased locally, while 14 percent believe it was the same as last year.

Fed up with soaring food, energy and housing costs, tens of thousands of Czech protestors railed against their government on Friday, demanding the resignation of conservative Prime Minister Petr Fiala's government, withdrawal from NATO and the negotiation of gas purchases from Russia.

"This is a new national revival and its goal is for the Czech Republic to be independent," said organizer Ladislav Vrabel. "When I see a full square, no one can stop this."

The protests occurred both in the capital city of Prague as well as the second-largest Czech city of Brno. Organized under the slogan of "Czech Republic First," the demonstrations drew their strength from both the left and right wings of Czech politics.

"Russia's not our enemy, the government of warmongers is the enemy," one speaker said, according to the Associated Press. Czechia has donated tanks and other heavy weapons to Ukraine, and provided nearly a half million visas to Ukrainian refugees, along with benefits. Protest organizers are also demanding that the refugees not be granted permanent residency.

Comment: The protests send a message loud and clear:

Five lingering questions about the bizarre Paul Pelosi attack

Paul and Nancy Pelosi
There's a good chance the attack happened exactly as the media and left-wing politicians are reporting it. But I've also identified five questions everyone should be anxiously awaiting the answers to.

Everybody was stunned on Friday morning when news broke that the 82 year old husband of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi had been assaulted inside of his home early in the morning with a hammer.

The shock and awe grew after it seemed to become clear that the assailant was looking for the Speaker of the House herself - the third in line to the Presidency.

An assailant broke into the home and asked "Where's Nancy? Where's Nancy?", according to NBC in the Bay Area.

San Francisco police Chief Bill Scott called it an "intentional" attack:
"This was not a random attack. This was intentional. And it's wrong. Our elected officials are here to do the business of their cities, their counties, and their states, and this nation. Their families don't sign up for this -- to be harmed. And it's wrong."
As such, DePape is now facing charges of attempted murder and other felonies.

"The constant fear-mongering rhetoric that MSNBC puts out is not meant to inform or educate Americans on the issues but to influence, indoctrinate, and radicalize."

An analysis of MSNBC broadcasts in 2022 has found that the term 'fascist' or 'fascism' was used a total of 1,614 times, leading critics to charge that the network is 'obsessed' with the using the label to keep Americans politically polarised.

Deranged trans activist eats Bible to protest conservative Matt Walsh event at UW-Madison university

Deranged pro-trans activists ripped out pages of the Bible and ate them as they protested Daily Wire's Matt Walsh for holding an event on the University of Wisconsin-Madison campus.

Walsh was in town to promote his widely popular "What Is a Woman" documentary, a film that debunks the junk science and social theories behind the radical transgender movement.

Comment: Whether you are Christian or not, anyone can see that tearing apart a bible and eating the pages is the behavior of a deranged lunatic which can correctly be described as satanic.

The moral degradation of those on the far-Left is made abundantly clear when we look at what they actually stand for nowadays:

Infanticide; the castration, mutilation and sexualization of children; the destruction of religious values and the family unit; the promotion of promiscuity, polyamory, and sexual deviancy in public; abolishing individual constitutional rights in favor of group-identity-based discrimination and racial segregation.
