NEWS GLOBAL




THIS WEEK'S STORIES
From a myriad of news and feature articles published throughout the world each week, a selection is made to republish on Connect. From those selected, our local editorial team choose specific themes to share.
Our intention is to make available thought provoking articles on major topics of interest in today's world. Whilst we have no answers, we understand enough to know, we all need to ask searching questions.
We hope you find the selection valuably informative.
NAOMI CAMPBELL AND FRAUD
Naomi Campbell fights to clear her name, in court, after the Charity Commission banned her from being a trustee for 5yrs. The model was accused of charity fraud resulting from a Commission investigation.
BP-6252H


UK'S ILLEGAL SETTLEMENT EVENT
A property fair promoting illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, was set to go ahead in London. The UK gov't was asked to stop it, but - given the close ties with the Israeli gov't - would it do so?

BP-6251D



THE NANNY STATE IN ACTION?
A survivor of a traumatic childhood - now helping adults to heal their own traumas - has been told by the gov't to stop. Why does the gov't think adults are incapable of making decisions in their own interests?

OP-6251C



WHAT'S GOING ON IN BIOLABS?
The US gov't confirms it has funded bio-labs in 30+ nations - Ukraine being one. The bio-labs - part of a biological research network run by gov't contractors - work on dangerous pathogens including Ebola.

BP-6251B

THE AGENDA IS BECOMING CLEAR
Chris Packham is leading the gov't agenda to change people's minds about the climate - and now about our habit of meat eating. There is no public debate about these two topics - just a propaganda stragegy.

SHOULD WE DECIDE - OR GOV'T?
The gov't and local councils seem to exercise whatever power it thinks fit over all the people. Did the people elect representatives to do exactly this? Is it time for a complete rebuild of how society works?



PX-6252F





JO COX - REMEMBER HER?
Why has this story suddenly risen from the past - 10yrs on? A 10yr anniversary - yes. But just in front of the Makerfield By-Election which Labour is desparate to win? That might suggest ITV support for Labour.


BP-6252E

UK JUSTICE: IS NOT JUSTICE
The ruling supporting the gov't's determination that a certain protest group as terrorists is stunning to say the least. In the wider picture - the support for Israel by the gov't is also stunning. How is this allowed?

BP-6252D


PALESTINE PROPERTY SELL-OFF
If genocide wasn't enough - which it isn't - what follows genocide is dividing up of the spoils - grassing over the graves of the lost. And the sell off of illegal properrty gains - as seen - is happening in London.

BP-6252C

INTERESTING DEVELOPMENT?
Reading between the lines - the Iran deal is the last thing the Israeli PM wanted. This man seems hell bent on making Iran and the Middle East part of his zionist empire - so what move do we expect to see next?

BP-6252B


COURT UPHOLDS GOV'T APPEAL
The Israeli gov't should be pleased by this turnover. The judge said - the UK Home Secretary has a responsibility to "protect the public" - by banning free speech? But not innocent Palestinians being bombed in Gaza?


BP-6252A



WE ONLY NEED TO STAND UP
Do the majority of people feed a machine - one that makes a wealthy minority even wealthier? Has an exploitative system been built on our backs - with those who benefit insisting life has to be this way?
