2021-11-20 23:00:43 Christian emigration from US to Russia shows Moscow now ‘leader of the free world’ – Church Patriarch

The head of the Russian Orthodox Church, Patriarch Kirill of Moscow, has argued that his country’s independence from negative outside influence is what makes it truly free, in his eyes.

In an interview broadcast on the Rossiya-1 TV channel on Saturday, the religious leader was asked to comment on instances of Orthodox Christians having emigrated from the US to Russia.

“I can imagine the types of reaction to my words from different corners, but I can prove that Russia today is the true leader of the free world,” Kirill said.

"We’re free from the most powerful influences from abroad. We’re developing in accordance with our own path and, by God’s will, our path shall be successful. Russia can serve as an example for others."

2021-11-20 22:00:22 UK construction machinery linked to Israeli 'human rights abuses'

JC Bamford’s industrial machinery has been used extensively to demolish Palestinian homes and construct Jewish settlements in the West Bank, defying international law - a human rights group alleges. (AP)

The company has brushed off the accusations saying in a statement that JCB “does not contribute to, or is in any way responsible for, or otherwise linked to adverse human rights abuses in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, either directly or indirectly.”

A recently released report said JCB’s equipment is sold to an Israeli intermediary who then sells it on to clients - including the Israeli Defense Ministry.

2021-11-20 21:01:28 One of only 13 known (surviving) original copies of the US Constitution has been sold at Sotheby’s. The winning bidder, whose identity hasn’t been revealed, stumped up a whopping $43 million, breaking the world record for a historical document at auction.

The bidder was up against a group of crypto crowd-funders who managed to raise $40 million, but ‘We the People’ were pipped at the post, it seems.

Theories that the mystery investor was Nicolas Cage, who will use the document on a dangerous yet hilarious adventure, are as yet unconfirmed.

2021-11-20 20:00:33 Pakistan drops chemical castration plans because of Sharia

The planned introduction of chemical castration for serial rapists in Pakistan has been dropped due to objections from experts in Islamic law, who said such punishment would be counter to Sharia.

The controversial clause in a bill amending criminal law in Pakistan was dropped before the National Assembly voted on it on Wednesday, a parliament official said on Friday. If it were passed, it would have been unconstitutional, Parliamentary Secretary for Law and Justice Maleeka Bokhari explained. The basic law of the country requires all its laws to be in line with the Sharia and the Koran.

2021-11-20 10:02:04 Crypto miners wreaking havoc on Kazakhstan’s power grid

An 8% increase in domestic electricity consumption this year due to crypto mining has forced Kazakhstan to turn to Russia to meet growing energy demands. (The Diplomat)

“The 8% increase in consumption is largely due to mining data centers operating in the country. The main suppliers of electricity for mining data centers are coal and gas power plants,” the Deputy Energy Minister said.

Kazakhstan has become the third-largest country in terms of energy consumed to ‘mine’ Bitcoin - due to most local energy being produced by coal-powered stations.
