African elephant populations have stabilised in their southern heartlands after huge losses over the last century, according to the most comprehensive analysis of growth rates to date. The latest analysis also provides the strongest data so far showing that protected areas that are connected to other places are far better than isolated “fortress” parks at maintaining stable populations, by allowing the elephants to migrate back and forth between areas as they did naturally in the past. When numbers rise in highly protected core areas, corridors into less protected buffer areas allow the animals to disperse. They may also migrate if poaching increases or drought strikes. If numbers later fall in the core areas, or conditions improve, elephants can flow back again. However, many more people live in the buffer areas and the scientists said careful planning was crucial to minimise conflicts with the elephants, which can kill people and destroy crops. In contrast to the connected areas, the scientists found that isolated parks, which keep animals in and people out, can lead to unsustainable population booms, and in turn sometimes mass deaths or culling. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/jan/05/african-elephant-populations-stabilise-in-southern-heartlands You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow Reganelite YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxIqt-1YwX7bl_jNAV0aGiw Join Patreon for Exclusive Content https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp https://www.instagram.com/reganelite_shorts/ https://www.tiktok.com/@reganelite https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

Communications intercepts collected by the United States confirmed that Islamic State’s (ISIS) Afghanistan-based branch carried out twin bombings in Iran that killed nearly 100 people, two sources familiar with the intelligence told Reuters on Friday. "The intelligence is clear-cut and indisputable," one source said. That source and a second, both of whom requested anonymity to discuss the sensitive issue, said the intelligence comprised communications intercepts, without providing further details. The collection of the intercepts has not been previously reported. Wednesday's bombings, the deadliest of their kind in Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution, added to regional tensions over the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza and attacks by Yemen's Tehran-aligned Houthi group on commercial shipping in the Red Sea. ISIS on Thursday claimed responsibility for the bombings, saying two operatives wearing explosive suicide belts staged the attack during a memorial service for Qassem Soleimani, a senior military commander assassinated in Iraq in a 2020 U.S. drone strike. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/us-intelligence-confirms-islamic-states-afghanistan-branch-behind-iran-blasts-2024-01-05/ You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow Reganelite YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxIqt-1YwX7bl_jNAV0aGiw Join Patreon for Exclusive Content https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp https://www.instagram.com/reganelite_shorts/ https://www.tiktok.com/@reganelite https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

Eight years after the image of three-year-old Alan Kurdi lying facedown on a beach in Turkey shocked the world, pictures of asylum seekers’ lifeless bodies washed up on the coast of Italy’s Calabria region in February once again stirred global outrage. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen responded to the tragic shipwreck just metres away from the coast of Steccato di Cutro by promising to “redouble our efforts”. “Member states must step forward and find a solution. Now,” she said. Yet as 2024 begins, activists and experts told Al Jazeera that 2023 has seen Europe reach for ever more drastic solutions to curb NGO search and rescue operations and outsource its border management to other nations. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) estimated at least 2,571 people died this year trying to cross the Mediterranean – one of the deadliest years ever. Since 2014, the United Nations agency has counted at least 28,320 men, women and children who lost their lives trying to reach Europe. “What is new is the popularity of the idea that you can externalise asylum processing,” said Camille Le Coz, associate director for Europe at the Migration Policy Institute. “That’s something we’re likely going to see more of moving forward despite shaky legal grounds.” https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2024/1/3/in-2024-europe-to-hunt-for-new-partners-to-offload-asylum-seekers You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow Reganelite YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxIqt-1YwX7bl_jNAV0aGiw Join Patreon for Exclusive Content https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp https://www.instagram.com/reganelite_shorts/ https://www.tiktok.com/@reganelite https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

Taylor Swift has unexpectedly become a major talking point in the imminent Taiwanese elections after a politician alleged that the pop sensation refused to perform on the self-governed island, fearing a war would break out with China. Jaw Shaw-kong, a member of the opposition party The Kuomintang (KMT), claimed that as the chair of the Broadcasting Corp of China, he extended an invitation to Swift to hold a concert at the recently inaugurated Taipei Dome. Swift initially agreed to the performance but later declined due to “geopolitical risks”, Mr Jaw said during a televised debate on Monday. Taiwan is on edge ahead of the 13 January presidential and parliamentary elections, which China has heavily targeted in state media propaganda as a choice between war and peace. The island is self-governed and has a democratically-elected administration, but is claimed as a breakaway province by Beijing. Chinese president Xi Jinping pledged again in his New Year’s address to bring about “reunification” with the island – and has previously threatened to do so by force if necessary. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/taylor-swift-taiwan-election-china-war-b2472460.html You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow Reganelite YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxIqt-1YwX7bl_jNAV0aGiw Join Patreon for Exclusive Content https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp https://www.instagram.com/reganelite_shorts/ https://www.tiktok.com/@reganelite https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

HONG KONG, Jan 2 (Reuters) - China removed an official at a government body overseeing its press and publications regulator, five sources who were briefed on the matter said, days after Chinese gaming stocks were hit by proposed rules to curb spending on video games. Feng Shixin was removed last week from his position as head of the publishing unit of the Communist Party's Publicity Department, the sources said. The department oversees the National Press and Publication Administration (NPPA) which in turn regulates China's vast video games sector. China's State Council Information Office, which handles media queries on behalf of the Chinese government, including on personnel matters, did not immediately respond to a request for comment and Reuters was unable to obtain Feng's contact details to reach him for comment. The five sources said Feng's removal was linked to rules the NPPA announced last month that sent stocks in the world's largest video games sector, including industry giant Tencent (0700.HK), plunging. https://www.reuters.com/world/china/china-removes-official-after-video-games-rules-spark-turmoil-sources-2024-01-02/ You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow Reganelite YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxIqt-1YwX7bl_jNAV0aGiw Join Patreon for Exclusive Content https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp https://www.instagram.com/reganelite_shorts/ https://www.tiktok.com/@reganelite https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

All crew and passengers onboard a Japan Airlines jet managed to make what has been described as a “miracle” escape after a horrific collision on a runway at Haneda airport in Tokyo that killed five crew members of a coastguard plane. JAL flight 516, an Airbus A350-900, was engulfed in flames soon after landing as it struck the smaller coastguard aircraft, which was waiting to deliver aid to the earthquake-hit Noto peninsula. Once the captain of the commercial jet managed to bring the burning aircraft to a stop, its 379 passengers, including eight children, plus 12 crew fled the plane’s smoke-filled cabin by sliding down inflatable slides at its front. The jet was soon entirely overcome by fire, with flames seen licking out of the cabin’s windows. The Tokyo fire department said 14 of those evacuated from the passenger plane suffered minor injuries including burns to the throat. Four were taken to hospital. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/jan/02/japan-airlines-plane-fire-tokyo-haneda-airport You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow Reganelite YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxIqt-1YwX7bl_jNAV0aGiw Join Patreon for Exclusive Content https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp https://www.instagram.com/reganelite_shorts/ https://www.tiktok.com/@reganelite https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

Hamas said on Sunday it had handed over 13 Israeli hostages, three Thai nationals and a person with Russian citizenship who had been held in the Gaza Strip to the Red Cross on the third day of a truce between Israel and the militant group. The release of some of the hostages captured when Hamas fighters rampaged through southern Israel on Oct. 7 is expected to be mirrored by the Israelis freeing another group of 39 Palestinian prisoners as on previous days in the truce. The four-day truce is the first halt in fighting in the seven weeks since Hamas killed 1,200 people and took about 240 hostages back into Gaza. In response to that attack, Israel has vowed to destroy the Hamas militants who run Gaza, bombarding the enclave and mounting a ground offensive in the north. Some 14,800 Palestinians have been killed, Gaza health authorities say, and hundreds of thousands displaced. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday met security forces inside the Gaza Strip and indicated that the campaign was far from over. "Nothing will stop us, and we are convinced that we have the strength, the power, the will and the determination to achieve all the goals of the war, and that is what we will do," he said. Netanyahu is expected to speak to U.S. President Joe Biden later on Sunday. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/hamas-releases-israeli-thai-hostages-under-temporary-truce-2023-11-26/ Reganelite YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxIqt-1YwX7bl_jNAV0aGiw You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow https://linktr.ee/reganelite https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite Exclusive Content on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite

A truce in the Israel-Hamas war appeared to be extending into a fifth day as the two sides completed their fourth release of captives from Gaza in exchange for Palestinians held in Israeli jails under an original four-day truce deal while mediators said the process would continue. Qatar, which along with Egypt has facilitated indirect talks between Israel and Hamas, said that there was an agreement to extend by two days the original four-day truce that was to expire on Monday. “We have an extension … two more days,” Qatar’s Ambassador to the United Nations Alya Ahmed Saif Al-Thani told reporters after a closed-door UN Security Council meeting on Monday, saying both sides were to release more people. “This is a very positive step,” Al-Thani said. While the Israeli government had yet to officially confirm the truce extension by early on Tuesday morning, Israel’s Army Radio, citing the prime minister’s office, reported that a new list of captives – who are expected to be released later in the day – had been received. Israel has said it would extend the ceasefire by one day for every 10 additional captives released by Hamas. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/28/gaza-truce-appears-set-to-extend-as-israel-receives-new-list-of-captives Reganelite YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxIqt-1YwX7bl_jNAV0aGiw You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow https://linktr.ee/reganelite https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite Exclusive Content on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite

For seven weeks, Hussam Saleem has lived under the relentless sound of bombs falling around his house in Gaza City. When the temporary truce agreed between Israel and Hamas begins on Friday, one of the 60-year-old’s first priorities will be finally getting some sleep. “We badly need this break. We want to sleep, go to the market, look for the basic needs we could not provide to our children over the past weeks,” Saleem told Middle East Eye. At last, Saleem and the Gaza Strip’s 2.3 million other Palestinians will get a few days respite, with a four-day pause in fighting allowing the exchange of 50 Israeli captives and 150 Palestinian prisoners. Or so they hope. The truce was supposed to begin on Thursday, but has been delayed over "logistical" issues as fraught negotiations continue. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-palestine-war-gaza-truce-chance-sleep-eat-recover Reganelite YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxIqt-1YwX7bl_jNAV0aGiw You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow https://linktr.ee/reganelite https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite Exclusive Content on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite

We are risking a repeat of the Sarah Everard murder, campaigners have warned, after Byline Times revealed that almost nine in 10 complaints about police forces are not formally investigated. Sarah Everard, 33, was kidnapped, raped and murdered in March 2021 by serving Metropolitan Police officer Wayne Couzens, leading to protests and a nationwide backlash. In the time since, it has been revealed that chances to catch Couzens for other crimes and misconduct were missed in the days, months and years before the murder. Among other things, Couzens was investigated over indecent exposure claims as much as six years prior. Despite receiving a record 81,142 complaints concerning 134,952 different allegations in 2022-2023, Byline Times has found that only 17,098 – or 12.6% – led to a formal ‘Schedule 3’ investigation. Forty per cent of cases nationwide ended with police forces taking no further action. At 14 of the 44 police forces in England and Wales examined, fewer than 3% of all complaint cases received led to a local investigation. British police forces are largely self-regulating – handling any investigations into allegations of poor behaviour or misconduct themselves. The most serious cases of misbehaviour, misconduct and criminality, however, are handed to the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) to be investigated. https://bylinetimes.com/2023/11/22/revealed-police-regulator-investigating-fewer-than-1-of-all-complaints/ You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

The formal sale process for Telegraph Media Group and The Spectator – both profitable businesses – began on Friday 20 October. Several well-known media figures have expressed an interest in taking part in the auction for the media brands, including bosses behind the Daily Mail, GB News and The News Movement – as well as The Telegraph’s most recent owners themselves. The starting gun was fired in June when Lloyds Banking Group seized The Telegraph and The Spectator from the Barclay family, who owed around £1bn in outstanding debt. The current value of The Telegraph has been put at around £600m. Since the process began, its latest financial results have been published, indicating growing profit and revenues. Telegraph Media Group reported turnover for 2022 up 4% year-on-year to £254.2m and profit before tax up 32% to £39m. The publisher, including recent acquisition Chelsea Magazine Company, has also reached the milestone of one million subscriptions. https://pressgazette.co.uk/publishers/nationals/telegraph-sale-latest-bidders-investors-spectator/ You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

Rishi Sunak would almost certainly have known scientists were worried about his “eat out to help out” scheme during the pandemic, Sir Patrick Vallance has said, directly contradicting the prime minister’s evidence to the Covid inquiry. In potentially damaging testimony, Vallance, the UK government’s chief scientific adviser during the pandemic, said he would be “very surprised” if Sunak, then chancellor, had not learned about objections to his plan to help the hospitality industry. Sunak had written to the inquiry saying he “[did] not recall any concerns about the scheme” being raised in ministerial meetings despite growing concerns that the discount plan could fuel the spread of the virus. An extract from Vallance’s contemporaneous diary, in July 2020, provided evidence that Sunak also sought to push back against the scientists’ advice. In one economics-based meeting, Sunak said “it’s all about handling the scientists, not handling the virus”, the entry said. Vallance said: “There were definitely periods when it was clear that the unwelcome advice we were giving was, as expected, not beloved, and that meant we had to work doubly hard to make sure that the science evidence and advice was being properly heard.” In other evidence, Vallance said Boris Johnson at times struggled to follow basic scientific concepts crucial to Covid, such as the impacts of lockdown on waves of infection, and had to have them explained repeatedly. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/nov/20/patrick-vallance-contradicts-rishi-sunak-evidence-to-covid-enquiry You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

Ofsted inspectors should not be in classrooms and the whole system needs "a big change", an inquiry has said. The Beyond Ofsted inquiry, chaired by former schools minister Lord Jim Knight and funded by the National Education Union, called for a "transformational" alteration to school inspections. The report recommended that schools should instead be responsible for their own improvement plans. Ofsted said inspections are needed to ensure a high-quality education. "Children only get one chance at education, and inspection helps make sure that education standards are high for all children," a spokesperson said. But Lord Knight's inquiry said Ofsted was now seen as "toxic" and "not fit for purpose" and was in need of major reform. That reform should include an end to single-word judgements like "outstanding" or "inadequate", which the inquiry said were too simplistic to describe a whole school. That was also one of the key recommendations of another report on school improvement released on Monday, by the Institute for Public Policy Research, which called for narrative-style judgements instead. The suicide of head teacher Ruth Perry earlier this year highlighted the pressure inspections can put on schools and led to a debate about how Ofsted operates. Ofsted, the Office for Standards in Education, Children's Services and Skills, inspects and reports on anywhere that provides education for young people in England - including schools, nurseries and childminders. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/education-67449711 You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

Tax officials are understood to be examining whether David Cameron failed to fully disclose taxable perks such as flights on private planes when he worked for the collapsed lender Greensill Capital, the Guardian can reveal. In particular, officials are said to be looking at a number of flights that took off or landed near his house in Oxfordshire and also in Cornwall, where the foreign secretary has a holiday home. They are also examining an offshore trust that it is understood was created by Greensill to pay him extra benefits. It comes amid wider concerns that the process for appointing the former prime minister to the House of Lords, and other background checks for his cabinet appointment, were rushed through in a bid to keep the details of Rishi Sunak’s reshuffle secret. Cameron was embroiled in the Greensill lobbying scandal after he exploited contacts gathered during his tenure as prime minister to try to win business for the now defunct supply-chain finance company at the start of the pandemic in early 2020. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/nov/22/hmrc-david-cameron-greensill-flights You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

Patients in the UK are waiting longer to see a doctor than people in countries including Rwanda, China and Russia, a global health survey has found. For appointments to see a GP within 24 hours, the UK ranked the third-worst of 40 countries surveyed, according to the Economist Impact health inclusivity index. Just over a third (35.3 per cent) of British respondents were able to see a doctor within a day, with only Canada (30.6 per cent) and France (33.7 per cent) ranking lower than the UK, and the figure falling far below the global average of 66.8 per cent. Almost one in five people in the UK (16.9 per cent) said they had to wait longer than a week to see their GP, compared with 7 per cent globally. ​Even war-torn Ukraine saw better waiting times for a GP than the UK, with 72.3 per cent saying they had access to a primary care doctor within 24 hours, while in Russia more than half could see a doctor in a day. Turkey scored the best for short waiting times (88.1 per cent), followed by Rwanda (87.4 per cent), Algeria (86.6 per cent), Kenya (84.6 per cent) and Mexico (83.8 per cent). The index released on Monday, which surveyed 42,000 people worldwide and was supported by consumer health company Haleon, ranked the UK third overall as the most “health inclusive” country. This was based on a variety of factors including policies, systems, spending and access. https://inews.co.uk/news/world/gp-waiting-times-uk-rwanda-china-russia-2768105 You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

European Union negotiators did not believe Boris Johnson’s bluff that he was prepared to pull the UK out of the bloc with a no-deal Brexit, Michel Barnier has revealed. The EU’s former Brexit negotiator has said he knew the former PM was not serious about his “madman” claim to be ready to exit without a trade agreement with Brussels. In scathing comments, Mr Barnier also said Mr Johnson’s ministers “did not know” or understand the consequences of Brexit. The French politician also backed Sir Keir Starmer’s plan for a veterinary deal to help ease trade barriers – but dismissed Labour’s plan to go through Mr Johnson’s Brexit deal “page by page”. “From the very first day, the UK ministers not only underestimated the consequences of Brexit – they did not know the consequences of Brexit,” Mr Barnier told the Financial Times. The ex-negotiator criticised then PM Theresa May for ruling out any membership to the single market or customs union from the outset, and said Mr Johnson made “a huge mistake” by imposing deadlines on Brexit. “He had no time.” https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/brexit-boris-johnson-eu-deal-barnier-b2450405.html You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite Exclusive Content on Rumble https://rumble.com/c/c-2526312 Exclusive Content on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite

Israel and Hamas agreed on Wednesday to a ceasefire in Gaza for at least four days, to let in aid and release at least 50 hostages captured by militants in exchange for at least 150 Palestinians jailed in Israel. The first truce in a brutal near seven-week-old war, reached after mediation by Qatar, was hailed around the world as a sign of progress that could ease the suffering of Gaza's civilians and bring more Israeli hostages home. Israel said the ceasefire could be extended further, as long as more hostages were freed. Hamas and allied groups captured around 240 hostages when gunmen rampaged through southern Israeli towns on Oct. 7. Previously, Hamas had released just four. The official start time for the truce is expected to be announced within 24 hours, with the first hostages to go free on Thursday. A statement by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said 50 women and children would be released over four days at a rate of at least 10 per day. Beyond that, the truce could be extended as long as an additional ten hostages were freed per day. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israeli-government-debates-deal-release-gaza-hostages-truce-2023-11-21/ Reganelite YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxIqt-1YwX7bl_jNAV0aGiw You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow https://linktr.ee/reganelite https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite Exclusive Content on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite

As the families of Israeli captives held in Gaza march from Tel Aviv to Benjamin Netanyahu’s residence in Jerusalem on Saturday, Israel’s longest-serving premier has never been less popular. A poll from November 14 has Netanyahu’s popularity among Israeli Jews at about 4 percent and both his opponents and traditional allies are calling for him to resign once the current war ends. “He’s very vulnerable, more than he’s ever been in his political career given that he presided over the greatest intelligence security failure in Israel’s history,” Khaled Elgindy, an expert on Palestinian-Israeli Affairs at the Middle East Institute in Washington, DC, told Al Jazeera. “Prime ministers have fallen for far less than that.” Ever since he won elections last November and installed the most right-wing government in the country’s history, Netanyahu has battled criticism. Protests have plagued Netanyahu’s latest term over his attempts at judicial reforms. But October 7 has eroded much of even what remained of the support Netanyahu once enjoyed, say experts. “I suspect there’s a lot of discontent with his leadership of the government, even within his own party,” Zachary Lockman, an expert on Palestine and Israel at New York University, told Al Jazeera. https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2023/11/18/a-lot-of-discontent-netanyahu-alone-as-israel-turns-on-wartime-pm Reganelite YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxIqt-1YwX7bl_jNAV0aGiw You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow https://linktr.ee/reganelite https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite Exclusive Content on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite

A police officer has been accused of “shoving” a nine-year-old boy as he left Saturday’s March for Palestine with his parents, leaving him needing hospital treatment. In a video of what appears to be the aftermath of the incident seen by openDemocracy, the boy’s parents ask the officer why he pushed their son and in response he says they had brought their child to a “violent protest”. The child was taken to hospital where medics confirmed he had suffered a soft-tissue injury on his shoulder, according to his parents Abu and Saheema – who have asked us not to use their surname. They blame the incident on the comments of former home secretary Suella Braverman, who labelled the Palestine protests “hate marches”. https://www.opendemocracy.net/en/met-police-palestine-march-protest-child-shoved-nine/ You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

For nearly seven kilometres, Rewaa Moeen had carried her six-year-old paralysed brother Ahmed on foot, fighting exhaustion and an intense fear that she and her family could be bombed at any moment before they reach the southern areas of the Gaza Strip. But the long journey to "safety" has been made even more arduous by the rubble of flattened buildings for the hundreds of thousands of people who had been ordered by the Israeli military to move to the south of the blockaded strip, using a so-called "safe corridor" while only carrying their ID cards with them. Knowing that they could not take anything, Moeen's family did not risk taking Ahmed's wheelchair, fearing that he might be targeted. "At the beginning of the war when many families evacuated their homes, we refused to evacuate and head to the south. Part of the reason was that moving my brother is not easy, he needs a special environment and a place to be able to do his daily activities easily," Moeen, 27, told Middle East Eye. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israel-palestine-war-gaza-disabled-people-trying-survive Reganelite YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCxIqt-1YwX7bl_jNAV0aGiw You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow https://linktr.ee/reganelite https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite Exclusive Content on Patreon https://www.patreon.com/Reganelite

Shadow Health Secretary Wes Streeting has said he would “hold the door wide open” to private sector entrepreneurs who can improve the NHS if the Labour Party enter Government. His remarks on the latest episode of i‘s podcast Labour’s Plan For Power came as his predecessors Alan Milburn and Andy Burnham clashed over just how much of a role outside firms should have in the health service. Mr Streeting told i that he wants to get “quite tough on NHS England” to drive reform using new technologies and encourage the body to be more open to bringing private-sector companies into the health service. “I want those entrepreneurs that are coming up with cutting-edge treatments and technologies to know that when they come up with a great idea that can deliver better outcomes for patients and better value for taxpayers’ money, they’re not going to struggle to get through the front door of the NHS,” he said. “We’re going to be holding the door wide open and encouraging them to come in.” https://inews.co.uk/news/politics/labour-private-sector-nhs-wes-streeting-2760505 You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

Sir Keir Starmer said Jeremy Corbyn’s “days as a Labour MP are over” as he condemned the former leader’s repeated refused to call Hamas a terrorist organisation in an interview. The Labour leader said his predecessor – stripped of the party whip in 2020 – “won’t stand as a Labour MP at the next election or any election”. Mr Corbyn had been repeatedly asked on Talk TV’s Piers Morgan Uncensored programme this week if he thought Hamas was a terror group. But the independent Islington North MP, an outspoken critic of Israel, continually avoided the question and attempted to move the conversation on. Mr Corbyn later told Times Radio: “Of course it [7 October] was a terror attack and it was an awful attack.” Sir Keir – who served in Mr Corbyn’s shadow cabinet – said he was “taken aback and shocked” by the left-wing stalwart’s refusal to describe Hamas as a terror outfit in the TalkTV interview. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/corbyn-starmer-labour-gaza-ceasefire-b2449617.html You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

The state of disrepair of some schools is so bad that 700,000 pupils are learning in classrooms that need a major rebuild or refurbishment, according to a damning parliamentary inquiry into the school estate. This year’s crisis over crumbling and potentially dangerous concrete means that other schools in dire need of an overhaul will not be included in the government’s current rebuilding programme. MPs on the powerful public accounts committee, which examined the state of school repairs, also warned of a “shocking and disappointing” lack of basic information from the government on the concrete crisis in schools. It said that there were now unacceptable numbers of pupils learning in “poorly maintained or potentially unsafe buildings”. It states that the government’s School Rebuilding Programme (SRP) has become dominated by concerns over the use of reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete (Raac). The committee said many of the 100 schools still to be selected for the programme will be chosen due to serious Raac issues, leaving other run-down schools in limbo. An estimated 700,000 pupils attend the 1,200 schools considered for the SRP. https://www.theguardian.com/education/2023/nov/19/pupils-being-taught-in-schools-in-england-that-need-major-refurbishment You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

Forcing some medical staff to work through industrial action under new anti-strike laws could end up harming patient care, hospital trust leaders have said, as ministers claimed their new measures would keep public services running over Christmas. NHS Providers, which represents hospital, mental health and ambulance trusts, said there was a significant risk it would damage relationships between staff and employers that are already very challenged, in a way that could affect patients. In a submission to the consultation on minimum service levels in hospitals, it said: “Our key concern is that rather than strengthening services as intended, the legislation proposed would worsen relationships between employers and staff, and between trusts and local union representatives to the longer-term detriment of patient care.” NHS Providers also Highlighted the government’s own assessments showing it would be more financially costly than alternatives. Its verdict was published as the government set out guidance to employers on how to issue notices to staff under its new legislation. The TUC, the organising body for trade unions, said the laws were “designed to escalate disputes – not resolve them”. It said the new guidance along with a statutory code of practice “makes an already dire piece of legislation even worse” by trying to wrap unions and employers in red tape. https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2023/nov/17/forcing-medical-staff-work-during-strikes-harm-care-nhs-providers You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite

Benefit claimants who fail to find work for more than 18 months will have to undertake work experience placements, under rules planned for late next year. If they refuse they will lose access to their benefits for a period, the government says. But the charity Mind said the use of sanctions would worsen peoples' mental health. It is part of new plans to get people back to work, which will also see an extra £2.5bn spent on career support. Under a plan that would need parliamentary approval, those solely eligible for the standard Universal Credit allowance who refuse to engage with job centre staff or accept work offered to them after six months will have their claims closed. That means they will have to go through the application process again if they want to keep receiving benefits and lose access to extras such as free prescriptions and legal aid during that time. Meanwhile, Labour pledged to invest an extra £1.1bn to cut NHS waiting lists to help get people back to work. According to the Treasury, the number of people not seeking work has risen sharply since the pandemic, hurting the economy. It said there were 300,000 people who had been registered as unemployed for over a year in the three months to July. But Vicki Nash from mental health charity Mind said: "The increase in the use of sanctions is deeply worrying. Evidence has repeatedly shown they don't work and make people's mental health worse". https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-67439675 You can catch Myself & Lee Corne every Wednesday 9PM UK Time on The Snowflake Show https://www.youtube.com/@TheSnowflakeShow All my social media links here: https://linktr.ee/reganelite The Snowflake Server: https://discord.gg/xCjFtYdSJp Buy me a Coffee https://www.buymeacoffee.com/Reganelite
