Ikhlaas, 10: "Jag är rädd för att bli dödad i sömnen"

Ikhlaas, 10: "Jag är rädd för att bli dödad i sömnen"

Hjälporganisationerna har länge krävt att vapnen ska tystna, för att kunna distribuera livsmedel till krigsdrabbade Gaza. Rädda barnens ansvarige på plats har varit inne i Gaza i drygt två veckor, och han beskriver hjälparbetarnas vanmakt.

– Det finns ingen säker zon eller något säkert område i Gaza. Jag har sett det med egna ögon, säger Jason Lee. Ström av flyktingar En ström av flyktingar fortsätter att komma till den lilla landremsan al-Mawasi, nära den egyptiska gränsen, som den israeliska armén sagt är det enda säkra området Gaza. Enligt Jason Lee är det både omöjligt och olämpligt att göra plats för 1,9 miljoner människor där. – Al-Mawasi, som civila uppmanades att ta sig till är en strandremsa. Det finns inte nog med toaletter, inga sanitära inrättningar, säger han och fortsätter: – Jag är rädd att ju längre konflikten håller på, ju längre civilbefolkningen får lida, desto svårare är det för oss att hålla människor vid liv, och för barnen att återhämta sig och bygga upp sina liv igen, så att de får en framtid. Ett barn dödas var tionde minut Jason Lees oro delas av barnen som tvingats fly till tältlägret i Rafah. – Många barn dör i sömnen, jag är rädd att det ska hända mig. Jag vill förverkliga mina drömmar. Jag vill bli läkare, men vi har ingen skola längre, säger 10-åriga Ikhlaas Hanoon.

I takt med att den civila infrastrukturen raseras i Gaza, anses också dödssiffrorna bli mer opålitliga. Sist Rädda barnen gjorde en uppskattning dödades ett barn var tionde minut, och ett skadade var femte.

– Jag har upplevt många krig. Kriget 2014, 2021 och så 2023. Vad är det här? Var finns familjerna som bara lever sina liv som vanligt? De finns inte, säger 14-åriga internflyktingen Hend Al-doj. 85 procent av befolkningen i Gaza, 1,9 miljoner människor är på flykt. Totalt bor 2,3 miljoner människor i Gaza. Hälften av dem, 1,1 miljon, är barn.

Guide: Här är rättsfallen mot Trump – och risken att han blir fälld

Det krävs en juristexamen eller stor uppmärksamhet, ännu hellre båda delar, för att hålla reda på de många rättsfallen mot Donald Trump. Totalt står han åtalad för 91 brott i två delstatsdomstolar och två olika federala distrikt, som alla kan leda till fängelsestraff. Han har också ett civilrättsligt mål i New York som kan tvinga fram drastiska förändringar i hans affärsimperium. The Atlantic har sammanfattat de viktigaste rättsfallen mot Trump, inklusive viktiga datum, en bedömning av hur allvarliga anklagelserna är och sannolikheten för att Trump döms. Fraud. Hush money. Election subversion. Mar-a-Lago documents. One place to keep track of the presidential candidate’s legal troubles. By David A. Graham 30 October, 2023 Not long ago, the idea that a former president—or major-party presidential nominee—would face serious legal jeopardy was nearly unthinkable. Today, merely keeping track of the many cases against Donald Trump requires a law degree, a great deal of attention, or both. In all, Trump faces 91 felony counts across two state courts and two different federal districts, any of which could potentially produce a prison sentence. He’s also dealing with a civil suit in New York that could force drastic changes to his business empire, including closing down its operations in his home state. Meanwhile, he is the leading Republican candidate in the race to become the next president. If the court cases unfold with any reasonable timeliness, he could be in the heat of the campaign trail at the same time that his legal fate is being decided. Here’s a summary of the major legal cases against Trump, including key dates, an assessment of the gravity of the charges, and expectations about how they could turn out. This guide will be updated regularly as the cases proceed. In the fall of 2022, New York Attorney General Letitia James filed a civil suit against Trump, his adult sons, and his former aide Allen Weisselberg, alleging a years-long scheme in which Trump fraudulently reported the value of properties in order to either lower his tax bill or improve the terms of his loans, all with an eye toward inflating his net worth. When? A judge ruled against Trump and his co-defendants in late September, concluding that many of the defendants’ claims were “clearly” fraudulent—so clearly that he didn’t need a trial to hear them. (He also sanctioned Trump’s lawyers for making repeated frivolous arguments.) A trial to determine the amount of damages Trump must pay is ongoing in Manhattan, and could stretch for weeks or even months. Justice Arthur Engoron, the presiding judge, has already fined Trump a combined $15,000 for violating a gag order in the case. How grave is the allegation? Fraud is fraud, and in this case, the sum of the fraud stretched into the millions—but compared with some of the other legal matters in which Trump is embroiled, this is pretty pedestrian. The case is civil rather than criminal, and though it could end with Trump’s famed company barred from business in New York, the loss of several key properties, and millions of dollars in fines, the stakes are lower, both for Trump and for the nation, than in the other cases against him. How plausible is a guilty verdict? Engoron has already ruled that Trump committed fraud. The outstanding questions are what damages he might have to pay and what exactly Engoron’s ruling means for Trump’s business and properties in New York. Although these other cases are all brought by government entities, Trump is also involved in an ongoing defamation case with the writer E. Jean Carroll, who said that Trump sexually assaulted her in a department-store dressing room in the 1990s. When he denied it, she sued him for defamation and later added a battery claim. When? In May 2023, a jury concluded that Trump had sexually assaulted and defamed Carroll, and awarded her $5 million. A second defamation claim remains under consideration. How grave is the allegation? Although this case doesn’t directly connect to the same fundamental issues of rule of law and democratic governance that some of the criminal cases do, it is a serious matter, and a judge’s blunt statement that Trump raped Carroll has been underappreciated. How plausible is a guilty verdict? Trump has already been found liable for defamation and sexual assault, and a further finding of defamation is possible and perhaps likely. In March 2023, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg became the first prosecutor to bring felony charges against Trump, alleging that the former president falsified business records as part of a scheme to pay hush money to women who said they had had sexual relationships with Trump. When? The case is set to go to trial on March 25, 2024. In September, the judge overseeing the case signaled that he is open to changing that date, given the various other court cases that Trump is juggling, but he also said he didn’t think it was worth discussing until February. How grave is the allegation? Falsifying records is a crime, and crime is bad. But many people have analogized this case to Al Capone’s conviction on tax evasion: It’s not that he didn’t deserve it, but it wasn’t really why he was an infamous villain. That this case alleges behavior that didn’t undermine democracy or put national secrets at risk makes it feel more minor—though those other cases have set a grossly high standard for what constitutes gravity. How plausible is a guilty verdict? Bragg’s case faces hurdles including the statute of limitations, a questionable key witness in the former Trump fixer Michael Cohen, and some untested legal theories. In short, the Manhattan case seems like perhaps both the least significant and the legally weakest criminal case. Some Trump critics were dismayed that Bragg was the first to bring criminal charges against the former president. Jack Smith, a special counsel in the U.S. Justice Department, has charged Trump with 37 felonies in connection with his removal of documents from the White House when he left office. The charges include willful retention of national-security information, obstruction of justice, withholding of documents, and false statements. Trump took boxes of documents to properties where they were stored haphazardly, but the indictment centers on his refusal to give them back to the government despite repeated requests. When? Smith filed charges in June 2023. Judge Aileen Cannon has set a trial date of May 20, 2024. Smith faces a de facto deadline of January 20, 2025, at which point Trump or any Republican president would likely shut down a case. How grave is the allegation? These are, I have written, the stupidest crimes imaginable, but they are nevertheless quite serious. Protecting the nation’s secrets is one of the greatest responsibilities of any public official with classified clearance, and not only did Trump put these documents at risk, but he also (allegedly) refused to comply with a subpoena, tried to hide them, and lied to the government through his attorneys. How plausible is a guilty verdict? This may be the most open-and-shut case, and the facts and legal theory here are pretty straightforward. But Smith is believed to have drawn a short straw when he was randomly assigned Cannon, a Trump appointee who has sometimes ruled favorably for Trump on procedural matters. In Fulton County, Georgia, which includes most of Atlanta, District Attorney Fani Willis brought a huge racketeering case against Trump and 18 others, alleging a conspiracy that spread across weeks and states with the aim of stealing the 2020 election. When? Willis obtained the indictment in August. The number of defendants makes the case unwieldy and difficult to track. In late September, one defendant who breached election equipment struck a plea deal. Three more, Kenneth Chesebro, Sidney Powell, and Jenna Ellis, pleaded guilty in late October. No date has been set for the other defendants’ trial, but it likely won’t come until 2024. How grave is the allegation? More than any other case, this one attempts to reckon with the full breadth of the assault on democracy following the 2020 election. How plausible is a guilty verdict? Expert views differ. This is a huge case for a local prosecutor, even in a county as large as Fulton, to bring. The racketeering law allows Willis to sweep in a great deal of material, and she has some strong evidence—such as a call in which Trump asked Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to “find” some 11,000 votes. Three major plea deals from co-defendants may also ease Willis’s path. But getting a jury to convict Trump will still be a challenge. Special Counsel Smith has also charged Trump with four federal felonies in connection with his attempt to remain in power after losing the 2020 election. This case is in court in Washington, D.C. When? A grand jury indicted Trump on August 1. A trial is scheduled for March 4, 2024. As with the other DOJ case, Smith will need to move quickly, before Trump or any other Republican president could shut down a case upon taking office in January 2025. But even before the trial begins, heated legal skirmishes are under way: In October, following verbal attacks by Trump on witnesses and Smith’s wife, Judge Tanya Chutkan issued an order limiting what Trump can say about the case. How grave is the allegation? This case rivals the Fulton County one in importance. It is narrower, focusing just on Trump and a few key elements of the paperwork coup, but the symbolic weight of the U.S. Justice Department prosecuting the attempt to subvert the American election system is heavy. How plausible is a guilty verdict? It’s very hard to say. Smith avoided some of the more unconventional potential charges, including aiding insurrection, and everyone watched much of the alleged crime unfold in public in real time, but no precedent exists for a case like this, with a defendant like this. © 2023 The Atlantic Media Co., as first published in The Atlantic.

TV4-profilens udda 60-årspresent till Jonas Gardell i Efter fem: "Var är dojorna?"

Under tisdagens Efter fem i TV4 gästade författaren och artisten Jonas Gardell studion. Men det som väckte programledaren Axel Pilebys uppmärksamhet var något helt annat än böcker och föreställningar.  Jenny Alversjö avslöjar – hen är vildast på fest i Nyhetsmorgon Jonas Gardells strumpfadäs i TV4 Det visade sig nämligen att Gardell, bokstavligt talat, klivit in i studion i bara strumplästen. Han hade drabbats av det hårda regnoväder som svepte över landet.

Händelsen fick Pileby att utbrista: 

Vi ska prata om bonuslivet om en stund, men innan dess måste jag fråga: Var är dojorna? Stora förändringarna i Nyhetsmorgon och Efter fem – efter TV4:s sparpaket Programledaren Axel Pileby var undrandes över var skorna tagit vägen. Foto: Skärmavbild TV4/efterfem Peter Kondrups gav Jonas Gardell tidig födelsedagspresent Ett gott skratt spred sig i studion när det förklarades att cykelturen blev minst sagt blöt, men att en vänlig skäl kom till undsättning när Gardell vadade runt i blöta skor.

– Det regnade som fanken och jag har cyklat ett par mil för att komma hit till TV4. Mina regntäta skor var inte alls regntäta. Så nu har jag fått låna ett par strumpor från den snälla meteorologen.  Det var nämligen så att TV4:s meteorolog Peter Kondrup lånat ut sina kostymstrumpor, något som Gardell såg som en tidig födelsedagspresent inför 60-årsdagen den 2 november. – Det är min första 60-årspresent faktiskt, från en skön meteorolog, sa han.
