Police investigating banner held at Crystal Palace criticising Newcastle United takeover
Police are investigating a banner unveiled by a section of the Crystal Palace support before Saturday afternoon’s draw with Newcastle United at Selhurst Park.
The Saudi Arabian-led takeover of the Tyneside club has caused controversy due to the human rights issues in the country and a graphic banner was held up in the Holmesdale End of the ground before kick-off.
A post from the official Croydon Metropolitan Police Twitter account read: “On Saturday 23 October police received a report of an offensive banner displayed by Crystal Palace fans.
An offensive banner? Saudi is an offensive state.

Social media users have mocked Ohio after its launch of a number plate to mark the first motorised flight by the Wright brothers in 1903 crash landed.
The US state’s new design, unveiled by Governor Mike DeWine, sported a banner attached to the plane that boasted Ohio was the “Birthplace of Aviation”.
But the banner, which should have been trailing behind the plane, was actually attached to its front.

The District of Columbia chapter of the Sunrise Movement, a radical group of climate change activists, announced Wednesday that it would not participate in a local voting rights rally because of the involvement of “Zionist” groups.

U.S. Assistant Secretary for Health Rachel Levine, who identifies as a transgender female, claimed the title of the “first female four-star officer” in a video boasting about “diversity” for the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
“I am honored to serve as the first female four-star officer of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, and the first openly transgender four-star officer to serve across any of the eight uniformed services,” Levine said in a video posted Tuesday.

Retaliation against China is exactly what the world doesn’t need
Call me faint-hearted but it strikes me as a bad idea to deliberately stir up trouble against a country armed with nuclear weapons.
So it’s ominous to hear the rattling of sabres by Canadians trying to push Ottawa towards punitive action against China for its detention of two Canadians called Michael.
China is an authoritarian, repressive country and its long detentions of Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor were cruel and wrong; it’s wonderful the two men are finally free.
But the animus being stirred up against it is reckless and dangerous, and seems aimed at backing U.S. efforts by both the Trump and Biden administrations to isolate China and push back against its rising economic and technological power and the challenge this poses to U.S. hegemony.

It wasn’t a joke. Or, at least, it wasn’t meant as a joke.
“Today on International Pronouns Day,” tweeted the U.S. State Department on Wednesday, “we share why many people list pronouns on their email and social media profiles.”
The tweet linked to an article at ShareAmerica, the State Department’s “platform for communicating American foreign policy worldwide.”

Surgeons have attached a pig’s kidney to a human and watched it begin to work, a small step in the decades-long quest to one day use animal organs for life-saving transplants.
Pigs have been the most recent research focus to address the organ shortage, but a sugar in their cells, which is foreign to the human body, causes immediate organ rejection. The kidney for this experiment came from a gene-edited animal, engineered to eliminate that sugar and avoid an immune system attack.

When a court in Nizhny Novgorod, over 400 kilometers east of Moscow, declared a radical chauvinist movement “extremist” and outlawed it on October 18, its notorious leader, Vladislav Pozdnyakov, was not present to argue his side of the story.
“Where is Pozdnyakov right now?” Judge Anna Belova asked the activist’s lawyer in court, according to a report by the news outlet Meduza.
“I can’t tell you, your honor,” the lawyer, Dzambolat Garabayev, answered.
