French President Emmanuel Macron has raised concerns over the security of the Olympics opening ceremony amid fears of a potential ISIS attack. Macron suggested that the ceremony, initially planned along the River Seine, could be scaled back or relocated to the national stadium as a precautionary measure. The move follows recent threats made by ISIS against sporting events in London, Madrid, and Paris. France has heightened its security threat level after a terror attack in Moscow claimed by ISIS-K. Despite initial plans for a grandiose ceremony, Macron acknowledged the possibility of implementing contingency plans, including a potential move to the Stade de France. He also expressed determination to maintain an Olympic truce during the Games, despite security concerns, the U.S. Sun has reported. read more: https://www.the-sun.com/sport/11092622/macron-olympics-ceremony-limited-isis-attacks/ Links for B.C.

Another House Republican has joined efforts to remove Speaker Mike Johnson, heightening the potential for a leadership shakeup just six months into Johnson’s tenure. Congressman Thomas Massie of Kentucky announced his support for the motion to vacate resolution initiated by Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia. Massie urged Johnson to pre-announce his resignation, citing historical precedents. Johnson, however, remains resolute in his refusal to step down, criticizing the motion as detrimental to Republican legislative goals. Massie’s move follows Johnson’s unveiling of a plan to advance foreign aid bills, which received mixed reactions within the Republican conference. Greene, expressing dissatisfaction with Johnson’s leadership, echoed Massie’s call for resignation, The Guardian has reported.

Lawyers in Donald Trump’s hush money case continued to sift through potential jurors in New York on Tuesday, aiming to select a panel to decide if the former president will face criminal conviction. After extensive questioning about their views on Trump and related matters, eight individuals were dismissed, either due to impartiality concerns or scheduling conflicts. While some expressed confidence in their ability to judge the case fairly regardless of personal opinions about Trump, no jurors had been chosen by midday. The process, expected to span days or even weeks, underscores the difficulty of assembling an impartial jury for such a polarizing figure. Trump’s trial, commenced on Monday, intersects with his bid for the presidency against Joe Biden, adding complexity to an already contentious legal landscape, the Associated Press reported.

Iran halted operations at its nuclear facilities amid concerns of a potential Israeli attack, as disclosed by Rafael Grossi, the head of the UN’s International Atomic Energy Agency. Inspectors were denied access to the sites on Sunday, coinciding with Israel’s deliberations on responding to Iran’s direct assault. While experts caution that Iran is nearing nuclear capability, there’s scant evidence of its intention to develop nuclear weapons, and Israel isn’t presently poised for an assault. However, Grossi noted that Iranian authorities cited security reasons for the closure, informing UN inspectors that the facilities would remain shut temporarily. Although operations resumed on Monday, inspectors were set to return on Tuesday, The Telegraph has reported.

The Biden administration has granted Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian a U.S. visa to attend upcoming United Nations meetings in New York City. This decision has sparked outrage, especially following Iran’s recent missile strike on Israel. Lawmakers, led by Senator James Lankford, are calling on the administration to revoke the visa, citing concerns about Iran using American soil to promote anti-Israel and anti-American rhetoric. Amir-Abdollahian’s attendance at UN sessions coincides with the ongoing conflict between Hamas and Israel. The State Department has neither confirmed nor denied issuing the visa but emphasized the U.S.’s obligations as the host nation of the UN, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

Archaeologists excavating Pompeii uncovered a surprising find: a banquet hall adorned with paintings inspired by the Trojan War. The discovery, announced earlier this week, was made during a project aimed at preserving Pompeii’s ruins. Pompeii, famously buried by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in A.D. 79, has fascinated archaeologists and tourists alike since its rediscovery in the 18th century. Designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997, Pompeii continues to reveal its secrets. The newly discovered banquet hall, likely used for elegant gatherings, features smoke-concealing black walls and measures 45 feet long by 18 feet wide, Fox News has reported. read more: https://www.foxnews.com/lifestyle/archaeologists-make-stunning-find-banquet-hall-pompeii Links for B.C.

Astronomers at the CSIRO’s Parkes radio telescope have discovered peculiar radio signals from Earth’s nearest magnetar, XTE J1810-197, just 8,000 light years away. Unlike typical magnetars emitting polarized light, this one emits circularly polarized radio waves, a phenomenon never seen before. Dr. Marcus Lower and Dr. Manisha Caleb, leading the research, express astonishment at the unprecedented findings. The signals, detected sporadically since 2003 and recently resurfacing in 2018, challenge existing models of magnetar behavior, The Debrief has reported. read more: https://thedebrief.org/astronomers-detect-unusual-radio-signals-from-nearby-magnetar-that-are-behaving-in-complex-ways/ Links for B.C.

The LIGO/VIRGO/KAGRA collaboration, dedicated to detecting gravitational waves from cosmic events like black hole and neutron star mergers, recently announced a significant finding. They detected a signal indicating a merger involving an object with an intermediate mass, potentially a low-mass black hole. This discovery was detailed in a draft manuscript posted on the physics arXiv. LIGO, with detectors in Washington state and Louisiana, along with VIRGO in Italy and KAGRA in Japan, constitutes the collaboration’s network. The group has detected numerous merger events, including “mixed” mergers of black holes and neutron stars. These mergers typically involve objects falling into two categories: stellar-mass black holes and supermassive black holes, ArsTechnica has reported.

NASA revealed the Europa Clipper, an interplanetary probe destined for Jupiter’s moon Europa, in the quest for extraterrestrial life. The mission aims to investigate whether Europa could host life by studying its icy surface and subsurface ocean. Scheduled for launch in October, the $5 billion spacecraft will carry various instruments to analyze Europa’s composition, ice thickness, and potential for liquid water. Despite not directly searching for life, scientists hope to find conditions conducive to it, expanding our understanding of life’s potential beyond Earth, Phys.org has reported.

Former intelligence official and UFO whistleblower David Grusch recently disclosed intriguing insights into the possibility of UFOs operating on detectable frequencies during a private event in New York. Attended by approximately 60 individuals, Grusch discussed a secretive program dedicated to tracking Unidentified Aerial Phenomena (UAPs) and hinted at forthcoming details regarding tracking methods. Organized by a Wall Street tycoon and his lawyer friend to stimulate discussion, the event delved into topics such as the dimensions and energy capabilities of UAPs, as well as international implications and personal threats faced by individuals involved in UAP investigations. Grusch speculated on the United States’ historical encounters with non-human intelligence and estimated a limited number of individuals possessing comprehensive knowledge of the phenomenon, Medium reported.

Ukraine is poised to potentially receive prototypes of the United Kingdom’s cutting-edge “DragonFire” high-power laser weapon, as it continues to defend itself over two years into Russia’s invasion. The U.K. has been developing this directed energy weapon for over seven years, with its first successful test firing on an aerial target taking place in January. With precision akin to hitting a £1 coin from a kilometer away, DragonFire showcases remarkable accuracy. Despite the official rollout planned for 2027, mounting pressure urges the U.K. to expedite the process and provide the laser to Ukraine, especially after a recent video demonstrated its capabilities in action. British Defense Secretary Grant Shapps expressed intentions to hasten DragonFire’s development and potentially deliver it to Kyiv before full testing is complete, Newsweek has reported.
