Far-left RAF terror suspect Daniela Klette arrested

A German prosecutor’s office on Tuesday said Daniela Klette, one of three fugitive members of the far-left Red Army Faction (RAF) terror group, had been arrested.

German police had been searching for the trio, suspected of attempted murder and a series of armed robberies after decades on the run.

The public prosecutor’s office in the town of Verden in Lower Saxony said the 65-year-old was caught in Berlin on Monday.

“We have an arrest of Ms. Klette,” said Koray Freudenberg, senior public prosecutor, whose office is investigating Klette and fellow suspects Ernst-Volker Staub and Burkhard Garweg.

£20bn sunken treasure ship sparks war of words

A quest for a sunken ship and lost treasure. It is the stuff of childhood stories being played out in real life as Colombia sets out to retrieve the treasure of the San José galleon and a trove worth $20 billion.

The South American country is sending a robot into the deep to recover loot from the “holy grail” of shipwrecks. It sounds like a boy’s own tale, but it comes with a war of words over sovereignty and the raiding of a war grave.

I love treasure hunts.

Victory For Hottentots: Mary Poppins film age rating raised over ‘discriminatory language’

Mary Poppins, the classic film starring Julie Andrews, has had its age rating raised by British film censors because it features “discriminatory language”.

The 1964 film has been reclassified from a U, which stands for universal, to a PG, for parental guidance.

In it, a derogatory term originally used by white Europeans about nomadic peoples in southern Africa is used to refer to soot-faced chimney-sweeps.

That now “exceeds our guidelines” for U films, the BBFC said.

Canada prepares to welcome thousands of Sudanese, but new pathway sparks questions

In the terrifying months after the war in Sudan erupted, Kholoud Abakar and her children abandoned their home five times, moving from city to city in the devastated country in a race for survival.

Now, her Canadian family is fighting to get her and her seven children to safety in Canada. But even as Ottawa prepares a new family-reunification pathway to help thousands of Sudanese reach this country, restrictions in the rules could dash the hopes of Ms. Abakar and many others like her.

On Tuesday, the federal government is set to launch a program for up to 3,250 Canadian citizens and permanent residents to sponsor relatives in Sudan to enter Canada.


Gee, which Muslim state would would welcome Canadian refugees? Oh that’s right none of them.

They don’t even take their own.

Canada’s drug crisis is affecting a largely unchecked population of users — newcomers

Within 17 days of arriving in Canada, Ali was introduced to methamphetamine.

“I was lonely and was thinking of suicide,” said the international student from Turkey.

Ali said he has been using crystal meth on and off since he moved to Saskatoon in 2022. Now, the 23-year-old is working toward recovery but said mental health services in his language and culturally-specific health care are lacking.


This reeks of “Capacity building” – rent seekers looking for a tax payer subsidized sinecure.

And Ali should be sent packing.

Beto O’Rourke Resurfaces to Back Hamas

Sure, you’re probably thinking “who”?

Didn’t Beto O’Rourke disappear after burning through $160 million to lose every possible race? Almost. Cockroaches are easier to get rid of than Beto who has one life skill and that’s running for political office. That makes him like a less successful Biden. But while Beto may not have won elections per se, he has mastered the skill of pandering to wealthy leftists. And currently, he decided to revive his chances of running for something by coming out for the Hamas side of things.
