#2  In the movie "The Loves of Hercules", Jayne plays two parts, a good Queen and a bad Queen. She was about 2 or 3 months pregnant at the time so her breasts were even larger than normal at the time.

The movie has gaffes and logic flaws but it does have Jayne (the two Queens have different color hair) and you can, I think, watch it for free

Africa Horn
MSF evacuates medical team from southern Khartoum hospital
[SUDANTRIBUNE] Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF)
…them again…
decided on Wednesday to evacuate its team from the Ottoman Turkish Hospital, located in an area controlled by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) south of the capital Khartoum, due to increasing violations against its staff.

The conflict, ongoing since 15 April 2023, has caused 70% to 80% of medical facilities to cease operations due to bombing, occupation, lack of supplies, water and electricity outages, and a shortage of personnel.

In a statement received by Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
Tribune, MSF said, "After more than a year of violent mostly peaceful incidents inside and outside the Ottoman Turkish Hospital, including threats to the lives of our staff, we have decided to evacuate the hospital."

MSF noted that it was able to provide direct life-saving treatment at the Ottoman Turkish Hospital for 14 months, despite deliberate obstacles from the warring parties.

The organization revealed that its staff working at the Ottoman Turkish Hospital were subjected to repeated harassment both inside the facility and on the street while commuting to and from work, with many threatened with arrest.

MSF reported that one of its employees was arrested inside the hospital by gunnies who took him to an unknown location and severely beat him.

The suspension of MSF’s work at the Ottoman Turkish Hospital is the fifth of its kind in Sudan this year. The organization previously suspended its work at Bashair Hospital, Wad Madani Hospital in Al Jazirah state, the Southern Hospital, and the Babiker Nahar Paediatric Centre in El Fasher, the capital of North Darfur state.

Claire Nicolet, MSF’s Emergency Response Manager in Sudan, said, "The situation at the Ottoman Turkish Hospital, located in an area controlled by the RSF, has become unacceptable."

Africa North
Mali's junta lifts three-month suspension on political party activities
[AFRICANEWS] Mali's military junta on Wednesday said it would allow political parties and associations to resume their activities.

The announcement by the council of ministers came three months after activities were suspended, purportedly to safeguard public order.

At the time, political parties were protesting against the military government’s decision to stay in power beyond a March 2024 deadline for returning to civilian rule.

The suspension in April came days before the start of a national dialogue for peace in Mali, that has been battling a jihadist insurgency for over a decade.

Military leaders, who have been in power since 2020, justified the move saying political parties posed a danger to the discussions on the country’s political future.

Despite a boycott of the dialogue by the main political parties and what remains of the opposition, the discussions went ahead with supporters of the regime.

In May, it recommended the military remain in power for "two to five additional years" And that the current head of the junta be allowed to run for any future presidential election.

Over the past two years, the junta has broken its long-standing alliance with La Belle France and its European partners to turn militarily and politically towards Russia.

It also kicked out the UN peacekeeping mission, Minusma, deployed to help restore stability in the north where government troops are battling the Islamist insurgency.

Caribbean-Latin America
Gunmen in Mexico Kidnapped 200 Migrants Headed for Arizona Border
[Breitbart] Activists are sounding the alarm about a large group of gunmen who kidnapped more than 200 migrants as they made their way north toward the Sonora-Arizona border. Some of the migrant’s relatives wired thousands of dollars to the alleged kidnappers, but the migrants remain missing.

According to an exclusive report by El Sol de Hermosillo, a group of more than 200 migrants had been loaded into a tractor-trailer late last month. The truck headed for the border city of Sonoyta, Sonora — just south of Arizona.

As the truck approached the town of Cuahutemoc, Chihuahua, the vehicle broke down. The migrants were forced to walk to another location where human smugglers were going to pick them up to continue their journey. Unfortunately, a large number of gunmen showed up and kidnapped the migrants, breaking them into smaller groups of 10-15 and stuffing them into their trucks.

It remains unclear where the kidnappers took the migrants. Some of the relatives quoted by Mexican media claim that they brought them to the border city of Ciudad Jaurez, Chihuahua, just south of El Paso, Texas. The migrants have been missing for more than 15 days, El Sol de Hermosillo reported.

Factions of the Sinaloa Cartel control the border region of Sonora, while the Juarez Cartel controls the regions near Ciudad Juarez, Chihuahua. Both criminal organizations have a long-standing turf war for control of lucrative drug and human smuggling routes into the United States.

Relatives told the Mexican newspaper that since the day of the kidnapping, the relatives began receiving threatening messages through WhatsApp where the alleged captors gave them instructions on wiring money to them to secure the release of their loved ones. Some of the relatives have wired as much as $10,000; however, the kidnapped migrants remain missing.

Caucasus/Russia/Central Asia
FSB prevents terrorist attack in Orthodox church in Adygea
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[REGNUM] Regnum. The FSB prevented an armed attack by a member of a terrorist organization banned in Russia on an Orthodox church in Adygea. This was reported by the agency's Public Relations Center.

“The terrorist was preparing an attack on a religious institution (an Orthodox church) in the city of Maikop and the murder of its clergy and guards, followed by arson of the building. He conducted reconnaissance of the area, drew up a plan of attack, acquired the necessary components and made homemade incendiary devices,” the report says.

It is noted that the terrorist, who is from one of the countries of the Central Asian region,
…so presumably he was working for ISIS or one of the other jihadi groups…
planned to film the attack to promote terrorist ideas. After the terrorist attack, he wanted to hide abroad.

The FSB reported that the criminal's activities were promptly identified and stopped during the events that were held. Prohibited materials, a flag of a terrorist organization, a knife, and components of an incendiary device were found and confiscated from him.

A criminal case has been opened under Article 205 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation (terrorist attack).

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on June 23, terrorists in Dagestan attacked two Orthodox churches, two synagogues and a traffic police post in Makhachkala and Derbent. As a result of the attacks, 22 people were killed, including the rector of the church, Father Nikolai (Kotelnikov), and the head of the police department of the city of Dagestanskie Ogni, Lieutenant Colonel Mavludin Khidirnabiyev.

It also became known that among the militants were the children of the head of the Sergokalinsky district, Magomed Omarov. The former official was detained and then arrested until September 5 on charges of fraud and money laundering.

The Investigative Committee reported that the suspects in the attacks in Makhachkala and Derbent have been charged with terrorism.

On July 10, the FSB prevented a terrorist attack on the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov. On July 8, the agency's employees prevented an attempt by Ukrainian intelligence to hijack a Russian Tu-22M3 strategic bomber.

Israel and Hamas signal acceptance of interim government in Gaza
Over/under on how quickly Hamas will sabotage any agreement that they actually agreed to, dear Reader?
[NEWARAB] Israel and Hamas
..always the voice of sweet reason...
have reportedly signalled their agreement that neither of them would rule in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
during the second phase of a potential ceasefire and hostage exchange deal, a Washington Post column states.

According to the column by US journalist David Ignatius, the interim government will commence with phase two and security would be provided by forces trained by the US and backed by "moderate Arab allies".

The allies will be chosen from a core group of around 2,5000 supporters of the Paleostinian Authority (PA) in Gaza who have been vetted by Israel.

The report adds that a US official said Hamas told mediators they were "prepared to relinquish authority to the interim governance arrangement".

The US has maintained that they were "cautiously optimistic" about ceasefire talks, with the White House national security spokesperson John Kirby telling CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...
on Wednesday that things are moving in a good direction.

"There are still gaps remaining between the two sides. We believe those gaps can be narrowed, and that's what Brett McGurk and CIA Director Bill Burns are trying to do right now," he said.

Sources have also said ceasefire talks in Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
will be resuming on Thursday, with Israel's defence minister Yoav Gallant saying that a limited window has been opened to bring captives back to Israel.

A senior Israeli official told Haaretz that they estimate that "an Israeli team can reach a deal based on the red lines drawn by Israel. There is a list of proposals and ideas which can, under certain conditions, placate both sides."

However,
death is not the end. There remains the litigation over the estate...
Hamas has maintained that they will only agree to a deal that allows for a total ceasefire and the withdrawal of Israeli forces.

towards a truce and hostage release deal after more than nine months of war.

But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu demanded Thursday that Israel retain control of key Gaza territory along the border with Egypt -- a condition that conflicts with Hamas
..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
's position that Israel must withdraw from all Gaza territory after a ceasefire.

Gaza's Hamas rulers said troops had pulled back from Gaza City's eastern district of Shujaiya, leaving "more than 300 residential units and more than 100 businesses destroyed".

Witnesses said tanks and troops had moved on to other parts of Gaza City. An AFP correspondent reported air strikes on the Sabra neighbourhood while Death Eaters engaged in heavy festivities with Israeli forces in Tel al-Hawa.

Explosions and orange flashes shook the darkened city before daylight brought automatic weapons fire, AFPTV images showed.

Hamas reported 45 air strikes in the Gaza City area, as well as in Gaza's southernmost city of Rafah, where Netanyahu had said the intense phase of the war was nearing its conclusion.

'DELAYING TACTICS'
Netanyahu's office confirmed that its negotiating team, led by Mossad intelligence chief David Barnea, had returned to Israel following talks with mediators in Doha on Thursday.

Speaking after the team's return, Netanyahu said Israel needed control of the Paleostinian side of Gaza's border with Egypt to stop weapons reaching Hamas.

He added that Israel must also be allowed to keep on fighting until its war aims of destroying Hamas and bringing home all hostages are achieved.

Syria-Lebanon-Iran
Russian Aerospace Forces Hit Militant Training Camp in Syria
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] The Russian Aerospace Forces carried out high-precision strikes on targets of illegal armed groups in the Syrian province of Idlib. This was reported on July 11 by Oleg Ignasyuk, deputy head of the Center for Reconciliation of Opposing Sides in Syria.

“In order to prevent ongoing violations of the ceasefire regime, the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out high-precision strikes on targets of illegal armed formations on July 10,” he said during a briefing.

Ignasyuk specified that the Russian military destroyed a militant training camp near the settlement of Ashkhani-Takhtani, a workshop for the production of unmanned aerial vehicles and two drone warehouses. As a result of the strikes by the Russian Aerospace Forces, 15 militants were eliminated, and another 20 were wounded.

According to him, over the past 24 hours, six attacks on positions of Syrian government troops by militants have been recorded in the Idlib de-escalation zone. As a result of the dropping of an improvised explosive device from a UAV in the Urum al-Sughra area, two servicemen were injured.

As reported by the Regnum news agency, on July 30, the deputy head of the Center for the Prevention of Cruelty to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Yuri Popov reported that in Syria, two Syrian servicemen were wounded in shelling by the terrorist groups Jabhat al-Nusra (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation) and the Islamic Party of Turkestan (a terrorist organization banned in the Russian Federation). He emphasized that control over compliance with the ceasefire regime continues in Syria. Russian military police units conducted patrols in the provinces of Aleppo, Raqqa, and Hasakah.

On July 3, a dangerous approach of an An-30 of the Russian Aerospace Forces with a Typhoon fighter of the so-called international coalition led by the United States occurred over the Syrian province of Homs. The incident occurred over the Et-Tanf region between 09:44 and 09:51 local time (coincides with Moscow time), a collision was avoided thanks to the professionalism of the Russian pilot, who took the necessary measures in a timely manner, Popov emphasized.
