Los Angeles cops respond to hostage scene and open fire, innocent hostage killed

LA hostage
Disturbing body camera footage shows police officer unleash a fury of bullets at an armed criminal and his hostage, killing both the criminal and the innocent woman.

Los Angeles police released graphic body camera footage this week, showing officers opening fire on a man armed with a knife who'd taken a 49-year-old woman hostage. In the shooting, police killed both the man with the knife, and the innocent hostage.

According to a 911 recording, officers were called to the scene on June 16, after a woman reported that a man had stabbed someone at her location. When officers arrived, they found Guillermo Perez, 32, who had just stabbed his ex-girlfriend with a knife.

When officers confronted Perez, he held a chair as a shield and a large knife. As officers yelled for Perez to drop the knife, he did not comply.

At this point, officers opened fire on Perez with bean bag rounds, according to LAPD chief Michel Moore. However, the chair shielded him from the blasts.

Taking land from experienced farmers could lead to food crisis says South African farmer

White farmers in South Africa are outraged at government plans to amend the constitution to allow their lands to be seized without compensation. Investments and food production will suffer, they warn.

President Cyril Ramaphosa announced his "democracy in action" plan this week to speed up expropriation of white-owned land. The government wants to redistribute the land to the black population of South Africa. The plan reportedly involves taking land away from several thousand white commercial farmers, without compensation.

"If you take away those role players and replace them with people that have no knowledge, have no experience, we are going to produce a lot less," South African farmer Jannie Myburgh told RT's Paula Slier. "And if we produce less food, the food prices will go up, and that will harm the people that are on the bottom of the food chain."

The farmer says ownership is the key pillar for South Africa's economic growth and warns investments from abroad may significantly go down. Myburgh also expressed deep concerns for the farmers who used to cultivate the land for decades.

Jeffrey Boyd, 55, of Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Pennsylvania State Police arrested a man from Oklahoma in Columbia County after police learned he heard voices in his head telling him to kill President Donald Trump and his family.

This all comes as the president is due in Luzerne County on Thursday.

People living in the community of Briar Creek near Berwick were surprised to learn that someone would travel all the way from Oklahoma to tell someone that he wants to kill the president.

As it turns out, that wasn't the only unusual part of the story.

Troopers arrested Jeffrey Boyd, 55, of Tulsa, Oklahoma, for making threats against President Trump.

"I was shocked, and I called my mom right away because I had to tell somebody what was going on. She was like, 'Well if they've got a gun drawn, it's something major.' And I'm like, 'Yeah, the question is how major and what is it?' " said Lacey Garrison of Berwick.

Around 890,000 Syrian refugees will return to their homes in Syria in the coming months, head of Russia's National Defense Control Center, Col. Gen. Mikhail Mizintsev, said Friday.

"According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, around 890,000 civilians will return to Syria in the coming months," Mizintsev said during a meeting of Russia's interdepartmental coordination headquarters on the return of refugees to Syria.

The Colonel General noted that around 10,000 applications have been filed to the Lebanese regional refugee centers by the Syrians willing to return to their country of origin.

"The Lebanese government has created a working group for setting up a joint committee on cooperation with the Syrian side on the return of refugees to the territory of Syria. The Lebanese regional centers on working with the Syrians today reported that 10,000 applications were received from the Syrian citizens, who have expressed willingness to return to their motherland," Mizintsev said at a briefing.

Three Israelis were arrested over the weekend in Colombia, along with 15 others, on suspicion of involvement in sex trafficking in the tourist city of Cartagena that included the sexual exploitation of more than 250 women and girls, Israel's Ynet news reported.

It's reported that Colombian authorities also asked Interpol to arrest a former Israel soldier deported from Colombia for running a child prostitution ring. Authorities claimed that even after his expulsion, 44-year-old Israeli citizen Assi Ben-Mosh continued to manage his illicit operations in Colombia from afar.

Mosh was deported to Israel after it was discovered that he was part of a group of ex-Israeli soldiers that had turned a small fishing village in Taganga into a "sex and drug den" from their base in a luxury resort, the Benjamin Hostel which was known to locals as "little Israel".

Trump's approval rating at 50% - 5 points higher than Obama's at same point in Presidential term

Trump's approval rating at 50%
Despite the continued media anti-Trump hysterics over the past several months including the meltdown after President Trump said kind words to Vlad Putin - the US president's approval rating continues to rise.

President Trump's approval rating is currently at 50% on Rasmussen Reports.

Media darling Barack Obama had an approval rating of 45% on August 2, 2010.

President Trump is now 5 points ahead of Barack Obama at a similar point in his presidency.

And this is while 90% of network media coverage has been negative of President Trump.

If President Trump had just 50% positive coverage by the liberal media his approval numbers would be in the 60's.

After leaving prison yesterday, English Defence League founder Tommy Robinson told the BBC "all you do is lie" refusing to give them comment. Despite this, the BBC is now accused of providing 'a platform to the far-right.'

Despite vowing not to speak to them, many of Robinson's supporters have taken the opportunity, much to the chagrin of anti-racist activists and left-leaning journalists, among others.

Since Robinson's release on bail, BBC Radio 4 interviewed two of his prominent supporters; Ezra Levant, correspondent for the right-wing Canada-based Rebel Media, and former editor of Breitbart London, Raheem Kassam. Upon hearing the interview with Kassam, Labour MP David Lammy attacked the BBC for not challenging his claim that Steve Bannon is a "Kennedy democrat."

Human Rights Watch: US-backed Kurdish YPG continues to use children in combat operations

The Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG), which make up a major component of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces, continue using children in combat operations, despite the fact that international law prohibits non-state armed groups to recruit minors, a prominent human rights watchdog said on Friday.
"The YPG, despite pledges to stop using child soldiers, is still recruiting children for military training in territory it controls. It's especially horrendous that the group is recruiting children from the vulnerable families in displacement camps without their parents' knowledge or even telling them where their children are," Human Rights Watch (HRW) Acting Emergency Director Priyanka Motaparthy said.
The HRW said on its official website that the US government should force the YPG to stop the practice. The US government supports the Syrian Democratic Forces, namely, the YPG, and should thus apply their own principles of not recruiting children to the YPG, according to the watchdog.

According to the UN annual report on children in armed conflict, the YPG recruited 224 children, including 72 girls, over 2017.
