Russian strikes battered the northeast Ukraine region of Kharkiv Thursday, killing at least five people, hours ahead of the first face-to-face meeting since the start of the war between the Turkish and Ukrainian leaders.

Moscow, meanwhile, denied it had deployed any heavy weapons at the Russian-controlled Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine where a recent escalation in fighting has increased fears of a nuclear disaster.

The head of the Kharkiv region Oleg Synegubov said Moscows forces had launched eight missiles from Russian territory at around 0430 local time (0130 GMT) striking across the city.

Three people died, including a child. Eight people, including two children, were rescued, the emergency services said.

Mr. Synegubov posted images from the scene of one strike showing the smouldering remains of several burnt out buildings and twisted wreckage of destroyed vehicles nearby.

In separate strikes on the town of Krasnograd south west of Kharkiv, bombardments that damaged residential buildings left two dead and two more injured, he said. Kharkiv. 175 days of horror. Daily terror, missile strikes on residential areas and civilians, a senior presidential aide, Mykhaylo Podolyak, wrote on social media.

The strikes in the war-scarred east of the country come a day after bombardments killed at least seven in the city and as the Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and UN chief Antonio Guterres were convening in the western city of Lviv.

LVIV Turkey's leader and the UN chief met in Ukraine with President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday in a high-level bid to slow down a war raging for nearly six months with minimal results, reports claim.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he would follow up with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin, given that most of the matters discussed would require the Kremlin's agreement.

With the meetings held at such a high level it was the first visit to Ukraine by Erdogan since the war broke out and the second by Guterres some had hoped for breakthroughs, if not toward an overall peace, then at least on specific issues. But none was apparent.

Meeting in the western city of Lviv, far from the front lines, the leaders discussed such things as expanding exchanges of prisoners of war and arranging for UN atomic energy experts to visit and help secure Europe's biggest nuclear power plant, which is in the middle of fierce fighting that has raised fears of a catastrophe.

Erdogan has positioned himself as a go-between in an effort to stop the fighting. While Turkey is a member of NATO, its wobbly economy is reliant on Russia for trade, and it has tried to steer a middle course between the two combatants.

On the broader topic of peace efforts, the Turkish president urged the international community after the talks not to abandon diplomatic efforts to end the war that has killed tens of thousands and forced more than 10 million Ukrainians from their homes.

He repeated that Turkey is willing to act as a "mediator and facilitator" and added, "I remain convinced that the war will end at the negotiating table."

In March, Turkey hosted talks in Istanbul between Russian and Ukrainian negotiators, but the effort to end the hostilities failed.

One major topic at the talks in Lviv was the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant in southern Ukraine. Moscow and Kyiv have accused each other of shelling the complex.

Accusing Moscow of "nuclear blackmail," Zelensky has demanded that Russian troops leave the plant and that a team from the UN's International Atomic Energy Agency be allowed in.

"The area needs to be demilitarized, and we must tell it as it is: Any potential damage in Zaporizhzhia is suicide," Guterres said at a news conference.

Zelenskyy and the UN chief agreed Thursday on arrangements for an IAEA mission to the plant, according to the president's website.

But it was not immediately clear whether the Kremlin would consent to the proposed terms. As for a pullout of troops, a Russian Foreign Ministry official said earlier that that would leave the plant "vulnerable."

Concerns about the plant mounted Thursday when Russian and Ukrainian authorities accused each other of plotting to attack the site and then blame the other side.

Guterres used the talks in Lviv to name General Carlos dos Santos Cruz of Brazil to lead a previously announced UN fact-finding mission to the Olenivka prison, where 53 Ukrainian prisoners of war were killed in an explosion in July. Russia and Ukraine have blamed each another for the blast.

An increase in grain exports was also on the agenda on Thursday. Earlier this summer, the UN and Turkey helped broker an agreement clearing the way for Ukraine to export 22 million tonnes of corn and other grain stuck in its Black Sea ports since the Russian invasion.

The blockage has worsened world food shortages, driven up prices and heightened fears of famine, especially in Africa. Yet even with the deal, only a trickle of Ukrainian grain has made it out some 600,000 tons by Turkey's estimate.

Zelenskyy said Thursday that he had proposed expanding the shipments. Guterres, for his part, touted the operation's success but added, "There is a long way to go before this will be translated into the daily life of people at their local bakery and in their markets." Euronews

"Imagine the conversation between Bolsonaro and Erdogan" – Index on Censorship Index on Censorship – Index on Censorship

The United Kingdom is in a period of national mourning, marking the passing of our head of state, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II. Global media has been transfixed, reporting on the minutiae of every aspect of the ascension of the new monarch and the commemoration of our former head of state. While the pageantry has been consuming, the constitutional process addictive (yes I am an addict) and the public grief tangible the traditions and formalities have also highlighted challenges in British and global society especially with regards to freedom of expression.

We have witnessed people being arrested for protesting against the monarchy. While the protests could be considered distasteful I certainly think they are that doesnt mean that they are illegal and that the police should move against them. Public protest is a legitimate campaigning tool and is protected in British law. As ever, no one has the right not to be offended. And protest is, by its very nature, disruptive, challenging and typically at odds with the status quo. It is therefore all the more important that the right to peacefully protest is protected.

While I was appalled to see the arrests, I have been heartened in recent days at the almost universal condemnation of the actions of the police and the statements of support for freedom of expression and protest in the UK, from across the political system.

What this chapter has confirmed is that democracies, great and small, need to be constantly vigilant against threats to our core human rights which can so easily be undermined. This week our right to freedom of expression and the right to protest was threatened and the immediate response was a universal defence. Something we should cherish and celebrate because it wont be long before we need to utilise our collective rights to free speech again.

Which brings me onto the need to protest and what that can look like, even on the bleakest of days. On Monday, the largest state funeral of my lifetime is being held in London. Over 2,000 dignitaries are expected to attend the funeral of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, in Westminster Abbey. The heads of state of Russia, Belarus, Afghanistan, Syria, Venezuela and Myanmar were not invited given current diplomatic tensions. While I completely welcome their exclusion from the global club of acceptability, it does highlight who was deemed acceptable to invite.

Representatives from China, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Iran, North Korea and Sri Lanka will all be in attendance, all of whom have shown a complete disregard for some of the core human rights that so many of us hold dear. Can you imagine the conversation between Bolsonaro and Erdogan? Or the ambassador to Iran and the vice president of China?

While I truly believe that no one should picket a funeral the very idea is abhorrent to me that doesnt mean that there are no other ways of protesting against the actions of repressive regimes and their leadership, who will be in the UK in the coming days. In fact the British Parliament has shown us the way by banning representatives of the Chinese Communist Party from attending the lying in state of Her Majesty as a protest at the sanctions currently imposed on British parliamentarians for their exposure of the acts of genocide happening against the Uyghur population in Xinjiang province. This was absolutely the right thing to do and I applaud the Speaker of the House of Commons, Rt Hon Lindsay Hoyle MP, for taking such a stance.

Effective protest needs to be imaginative, relevant and take people with you highlighting the core values that we share and why others are a threat to them. It can be private or public. It can tell a story or mark a moment. But ultimately successful protests can lead to real change. Even if it takes decades. Which is why we will defend, cherish and promote the right to protest and the right to freedom of expression in every corner of the planet, as a real vehicle for delivering progressive change.

Ann Coulter: Merrick Garland Is a Lunatic – Breitbart

Lets hope Merrick Garlands search of Mar-a-Lago is based on more evidence than his indictment of the Louisville, Kentucky, police officers involved in the raid on Breonna Taylors house.

That passive construction I just used involved in the raid on, instead of who raided is not sloppy writing: Its the facts. The officers who actually shot Taylor have not been charged, apparently on the flimsy grounds thatthey were being shot at when they fired.

Instead, our lunatic attorney general has indicted officers who prepared the affidavit used to obtain the warrant to search Taylors home. In the words of theindictment, the affidavit contained information that was false, misleading and out-of-date and that the officers lacked probable cause for the search.

Further, the indictment also alleges that the officersknewthey were providing false information.

Breonna Taylor, you will recall, was themoll for drug dealer Jamarcus Glover, one of Louisvilles biggest suppliers of cocaine and fentanyl, and therefore by definition a murderer. On March 13, 2020, the police executed simultaneous search warrants on two of his trap houses as well as the home of his bagwoman, Breonna.

At Taylors house, police announced themselves and got no response. They announced themselves again; no response. They announced themselves again; no response. Finally, they used a battering ram to enter. Almost immediately, an officer was shot.

The man with Taylor, Kenneth Walker, claims he shot at the officers because he thought the guys pounding on the front door and yelling POLICE! were home invaders. Skeptics will say thats implausible, but it is now treated as hard fact in such solid, reliable news sources as The New York Times.

The officers returned fire and hit Taylor, who had the misfortune to be standing next to her boyfriend as he was shooting at the police. Riots ensued. Taylors family got $12 million.

Kentuckys criminal prosecution of the one officer charged ended in an acquittal. With last weeks suit, the federal government is now bringing its own criminal charges against the police in a sane world, this would be double jeopardy alleging that the affidavit for a search warrant was based on information that was knowingly false, misleading and out-of-date.

Specifically, the feds say the following claims were false:

1. Glover and Taylor had an ongoing connection;

2. Glover used Taylors address as his residence;

3. Glover received packages at Taylors address.

While it can be murky determining the precise relationship status and residence of a drug dealer, especially when he works out of three trap houses and has multiple girlfriends, those three claims are not false. They are true.

The cops didnt lie; the indictment does.

1. Did Glover and Taylor have an ongoing connection?

Their relationship dates back to at least 2016, when Taylor loaned Glover her rental car, only to have the police show up at her door to ask about the dead body in thetrunk. The dead man turned out to be the brother of one of Glovers criminal confederates.

But that was four years before the raid! Surely, Breonna wised up after the body-in-the-trunk incident and dumped Jamarcus like a hot potato. Right?

Nope! Taylor continued bonding Glover out of jail through his many arrests from 2016 to 2020. He called Taylor from jail at least26 timesduring those four years that can be proven including on Jan. 3, 2020, three months before the raids. During that call from January 2020, the two talk about sleeping together and exchange I love yous.

On Jan. 2, 2020, police installed a pole camera to observe one of the crack houses in response to numerous violent assaults in the area. The very day the camera went up, Taylors car was seen pulling up to the house, dropping off Glover. On Feb. 13, 2020, Taylor drove him there again, and while waiting for him, got out of her car, in full view of the camera.

GPS tracking showed his car driving to Taylors house six times in January 2020 alone.

But this is a dry recitation of police evidence. Glovers baby mama (not Breonna) is more colorful. In a recordedjailhouse phone callthe day after the shooting, she told him: This bitch (Breonna) where shes been with you, since you aint been over at my house the same day you post a picture I guess she post a video, you knew it because she said whats up she was in the bed with you, you kissing all over her.

Glover repeatedly assures the irate baby mama that Breonna just kept his money for him and that thousands of dollars were still at her house.

Now, where in the world would the police get the idea that Glover and Taylor had some sort of ongoing connection? Its a puzzlement.

2. Did Glover use Taylors address as his residence?

Again, what constituted Glovers residence is a bit of a philosophical question because, in the words of his baby mama, You bounce back and forth between these bitches.

But he had to give the bank an address. He gave them Taylors as confirmed by the police withsubpoenaedbank records they obtained on Feb. 24, 2020, mere weeks before the raids. He also had to give police a phone number when he filed a complaint in February about his car being towed. He gave them Breonnas number.

To the extent that a major coke dealer with a string of ladies has any fixed address, Glovers address was Taylors house.

3. Did Glover receive packages at Taylorsresidence?

This ones the easiest to answer. The police hadphotosof Glover carrying a USPS package from her house on Jan. 16, 2020. His car pulls up, he walks into her house empty-handed, then emerges carrying the USPS package. (Whereupon, he drove directly to a trap house.)

That search must have been exhaustive.

Even the lawyer representing Taylors family wasnt stupid enough to deny the packages. Amid a blizzard of fanciful claims about Taylor and Glovers relationship Theyd broken up years ago! They barely stayed in touch! the lawyer admitted that Taylor accepted packages for Glover.

Yeah, we know. There arepictures. The only people who dont know are the Louisville postal inspector and the attorney general of the United States.

This fall, the Democrats will try to convince you that they support the police.Why, look at how well we treated thecop who shotAshli Babbitt!Never forget that this is the party that spent 2 1/2 years and counting! trying to destroy Louisville police officers for risking their lives to take down a major drug ring.
