A man has been charged with killing a polar bear and leaving the body to rot outside his home in Alaska for five months.

Christopher Gordon, 35, allegedly shot the animal dead when it ventured into his front yard to try and eat some butchered whale meat.

He then failed to report the polar bear carcass or attempt to "harvest" it for food between December 2018 and May this year.

Gordon also allowed the bear to be covered with snow, which resulted in one of its legs being ripped off by a passing snowplough.

Finally, on 22 May, he burned the carcass at the village dump in Kaktovik.

A police board meeting escalated when Detroit cops tackled a police commissioner to the ground and arrested him at a heated hearing where protesters demonstrated against the city's controversial facial recognition scheme.

Commissioner Willie Burton was annoyed that the Board of Police Commissioners had held secret, closed door meetings that he and the public were not allowed to attend during which an expansion of the facial recognition scheme was planned, Metro Times reports.

He attempted to call out the board on the issue at Thursday's meeting, but was told to be quiet by board chair Lisa Carter, who objected to him speaking for longer than his allotted time, and then asked that he be removed.

Comment: An official with principles standing up for the rights of the common man is a rare sight nowadays. As for facial recognition technology, that's being rolled out from the US to Australia and most people are entirely unaware:

French police have used tear gas to disperse protesters who occupied the Champs Elysees hours after French President Emmanuel Macron together with European leaders took part in a military parade.

Prior to the police reaction, the protesters started destroying the barriers installed on the streets, trying to build barricades and chanting yellow vest movement slogans.

Seeing the light? One day in occupation causes young Jews to turn against Zionism

We are as critical of the New York Times as anyone, but we need to salute the superb report in the newspaper by David Halbfinger on a liberal Zionist trip for American Jews to see the occupation. Titled, "Touring the Israeli Occupation: Young U.S. Jews Get an Unflinching View," the July 10 article offered horrifying glimpses of Palestinian conditions in Susiya and Hebron that left the young Jews staggered.

The article was about a very lukewarm tour of the occupation indeed, by the Zionist group J Street, which has very pro-Israel motivation; it wants these young people to engage in Israel advocacy, and it wants to influence the more rightwing Jewish trips to Israel, notably Birthright, to stop off in Palestine.

But the thrust of the article was that one day's exposure to the desolation of occupation caused two young Jews to question Zionism itself.

Australian TV host claims his son might be the reincarnation of Princess Diana

An Australian TV host has gone public with his belief that his 4-year-old son might be the reincarnation of the late Diana, Princess of Wales.

David Campbell made the stunning claim in a recent magazine column, telling readers that his son Billy says he "used to be the princess".

He initially laughed off the boy's statements but was driven to reveal them when they became more accurate as Billy began sharing details of Diana's life and tragic death.

Writing in Stellar magazine, Campbell began: "OK. This is going to be the strangest column I have ever written, so bear with me."

"Our youngest, Billy, is 4. From the age of about 2 and a half, he has shared several tales that at first seemed silly.

"He provided more information as the years went on and now we don't know what to do with it.

"You see, Billy believes he was once Princess Diana."

Half of Germans see Islam as threat

Around 50 percent of Germans are wary of Islam, a new study by a local NGO found. The pollsters blame the media for this state of affairs, adding that tolerance of other major religions in the country is much higher.

In a study on religious diversity conducted by the German Bertelsmann Foundation, one-third of the respondents see Islam as "enriching" German society. At the same time, half of participants said they view it as a "threat."

The percentage of those skeptical about Islam is even higher in the eastern regions of the country - around 57 percent - even though fewer Muslims live there.

ICE raids: Obama's DHS secretary says 'we simply have to enforce the law'

Jeh Johnson, who served as secretary of homeland security under President Barack Obama, said there is nothing unusual with the upcoming raids from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that are targeting illegal immigrants who have orders for deportation. Johnson said on Morning Joe Friday:

"Deportations occur all the time. Of those who have been ordered deported by an immigration judge, hopefully after they have exhausted their appeal rights and had an opportunity to have their asylum case heard, we simply have to enforce the law, particularly if someone has been ordered deported. In other words, they've exhausted all their appeal rights. And so, it's important for migrants to know they have rights. But enforcement actions themselves are not extraordinary."

Johnson has been a unique voice in speaking out against Democrats' recent rhetoric on immigration. When Democrats started to criticize the Trump administration for keeping migrants in "cages," Johnson said that practice did not begin when Trump became president. "Chain link barriers, partitions, fences, cages, whatever you want to call them, were not invented on Jan. 20, 2017, OK?" he said.

He also called out the 2020 Democrats' proposal to decriminalize border crossing because that "is tantamount to declaring publicly that we have open borders."

Jester, who was 31, was vacationing with his sister on the island, Moore said.

The name of the resort was not immediately available.

Prominent journalist and an unnamed American among 26 dead in Somalia hotel attack

An attack in Somalia's port city of Kismayo over the weekend killed 26 people, including the prominent Canadian-Somali journalist Hodan Nalayeh, who returned to her native country with a mission to tell its overlooked stories.

The attack prompted an outpouring of grief on social media.

Nalayeh, who founded Integration TV, a web-based station aimed at Somalia's global diaspora, was remembered as a generous person who was driven to tell stories that showed a more positive and nuanced side of her native Somalia.

Some of Nalayeh's previous social media posts depicting people smiling and going about their lives re-circulated on Twitter as news of her death spread online -- images, people noted in their posts, that were at odds with the depiction of Somalia as a place devastated by decades of civil war, famine and conflict.

The hospital's head of neurosurgery, Othman Othman, who operated on the 10-year-old for three and a half hours, claimed that the bullet fired at Abdul was a live round.

Speaking through an interpreter, he said: "He had a penetrating injury in the frontal lobe on the right side. The injury was severe and there are more than 100 fragments.
