Hebron - "Jerusalem" dot com - A 3-year-old child was killed today, Thursday, as a result of a run-over accident in front of his house in the town of Sa'ir, north of Hebron.

The media spokesman for the police, Colonel Louay Arziqat, explained that the child was trampled by one of his relatives while he was playing in front of the house, which caused him serious injuries. He was subsequently transferred to Al-Mizan Hospital in Hebron, but he died of his serious injuries.

Brussels - (AFP) - The European Commission wants to oblige all banks in the European Union to offer instant payments at no extra cost compared to traditional transfers, according to a bill submitted on Wednesday.

Instant payments take less than ten seconds at any time or day of the year, and they account for just 11 percent of all euro transfers made in the European Union.

They are often subject to fees of up to 30 euros, unlike traditional transfers, which usually take a full day and may exceed 72 hours if they happen on a weekend followed or preceded by a holiday.

The bill requires payment service providers that offer to make transfers in euros to also offer instant payment.
They are also prohibited from charging fees for these instant payments that exceed those charged for traditional remittances.

"Instant remittances are quickly becoming the norm in many countries. They must become available to everyone in Europe as well, in order to remain competitive on the international stage," Commission Vice-President Valdis Dombrovskis said in a statement.

European Commissioner for Financial Services Mairead McGuinness said, "The ability to send and receive money in seconds is important, especially at a time when household bills and small and medium-sized businesses are rising, knowing that every penny counts," noting that the technology has existed since 2017.

The Commission's proposal also aims to "liberate" the money passing through the financial system, amounting to about 200 billion euros per day, for consumption or investment.

Payment service providers will also have an obligation to verify that the Iban account number and beneficiary name match, in order to warn the payer of any possible “fraud” prior to payment.

The proposal amending the existing rules will be submitted to member states and the European Parliament. Once the provision becomes effective, banks will have six to twelve months to implement it.

The European Office of Consumer Unions welcomed the proposals, stressing that the cost of instant transfers and fears of fraud were "barriers" to using this type of payment.
"It shouldn't be just a privileged service, it's time for it to be the norm," said Monique Goens, director general of the European Office of Consumer Unions.

لندن (أ ف ب) -يتحمّلونها ويشكون منها ويسعون للخروج منها، وإلا فهو الانغماس التام فيها، من دون أن تنفجر أبداً. هكذا يتم توصيف “الفقاعة الصحية” التي باتت مسكناً لتشكيلات المنتخبات المشاركة في كأس أوروبا 2020 لكرة القدم. وفي ما يلي، بعض الشهادات على “الحياة في الفقاعة” في زمن كوفيد-19.

إنكلترا التي لعبت غالبية مبارياتها على أرضها، تشعر كأنها سمكة في فقاعتها في مركز تدريب سانت جورج بارك.
يقول مهاجم منتخب الأسود الثلاثة رحيم سترلينغ إنه “من الجيد جداً أن تكون في بلدك لمرة واحدة وأن تتنفس الهواء البريطاني النقي. لا يمكنني التوقف عن الابتسام”.

تم إيلاء اهتمام خاص لتزيين الغرف، بحسب جاك غريليش الذي قال “عدت إلى غرفتي معتقداً أنها ستكون غرفة عادية، ولكن كانت هناك صور لعائلتي في كل مكان ولأحد كلابي، ما جعلني أشعر بالسعادة”.
بالنسبة للآباء، يصعب أحياناً التعايش مع الأماكن المغلقة. قال حارس مرمى وقائد المنتخب الفرنسي هوغو لوريس “إنها تتطلب تضحية صغيرة منا تجاه عائلاتنا”.

وأضاف “من الواضح، عندما تكون أباً، أن هناك نقصاً في عدم التواصل مع أطفالك. لكن لا يزال بإمكاننا الاتصال بهم عبر مكالمات الفيديو”.
لكن يتجنب البعض، على غرار زميله لوكا دينيي، المشاعر السلبية من خلال مطالبة الأسرة بعدم الحضور إلى المباريات “أطفالي صغار، طفلي الصغير يبلغ من العمر 5 أشهر، والأكبر يبلغ عامين. أن تشرح له أن أباه غير قادر على معانقته أمر معقد للغاية”.
يبدو أن ألعاب الورق الجيدة القديمة لدى الإيطاليين قد اختفت تماماً من المشهد، لصالح منصات البث المباشر والألعاب الإلكترونية.

حتى أن كرة الطاولة باتت أقل عصرية مما كانت عليه في السابق. ويُقال إن مانويل لوكاتيللي وماتيو بيسينا هما الوحيدان تقريباً اللذان يستخدمان الطاولة المنصوبة في معسكر الأتزوري التدريبي في كوفيرتشانو.
بالنسبة للمدرب روبرتو مانشيني، يكون التعايش القسري مرهقاً في بعض الأحيان: “لقد كنا معاً لمدة شهر تقريباً، وأحياناً نحتاج إلى 24 ساعة من دون رؤية بعضنا البعض. هناك حاجة للتفكير في شيء آخر (…) هذا نوعاً ما مشكلة هذه البطولة بما أننا في فقاعة”.

صَدَمَ السويسريان غرانيت تشاكا ومانويل أكنجي الصحافة الصادرة باللغة الألمانية في بلدهما من خلال صبغ شعريهما باللون الأشقر، مع الإشارة إلى أن مصفف الشعر قدّم اختبار كوفيد-19 سلبياً وكان يرتدي كمامة.
وكتبت صحيفة “بليك” أن “مواكب سيارات اللامبورغيني، والوشوم، ومصففي الشعر الذين يتمّ إرسالهم بالطائرة، تظهر على المنتخب السويسري علامات سذاجة لا تصدق”. وأضافت أن “هذا الجيل من اللاعبين بعيد جداً عن القاعدة الجماهيرية، عن الناس العاديين. سلوكه غير مفهوم للمشجع العادي”.

أكد مدرب المنتخب الألماني يواكيم لوف قبل الإقصاء من البطولة “لدي اتصالات مع الأصدقاء والعائلة، لكنها بالحد الأدنى”. وأضاف “من الواضح أننا نرسل الأخبار كتابة، ولكن الحياة تتواصل بعد ذلك. نحن في نفق ولا يوجد يوم يمكننا فيه فك الضغط تماماً (…) لا وقت كاف للاعتناء بأشياء أخرى”.

يحبّ بعض اللاعبين البلجيكيين أن تتسخ أيديهم في المطبخ. هذه هي حالة دريس ميرتنس ويان فيرتونغن وتيبو كورتوا وروميلو لوكاكو، بحسب ما يقول بارتيل ديوولف طباخ “الشياطين الحمر”.

وأوضح “نحن أيضا ننظم حفلات إيطالية، ليالي السوشي أو حفلات الشواء. هذا مهم لأن اللاعبين يحتاجون إليه. أنا أيضاً أصنع الكثير من لحم الخنزير الإسباني (…) للمدرب روبيرتو مارتينيس. أعرف اللحام البلجيكي الوحيد المختص بهذا الأمر. يذهب ليشتري اللحم من إسبانيا ويرسل لنا بعض القطع الخاصة. أجعل مارتينيس يتذوّقها ويخمّن نوع اللحم. آخر مرة، اكتشف أنه لحم إيبيريكو يبلغ من العمر خمس سنوات. إنه جيد جداً في ذلك الأمر”.

Ramallah - "Jerusalem" dot com - On the twenty-third of this month, a new session will be held for the prisoner, Nasser Abu Hamid , to consider again the issue of his early release.

The Captive Club said that a new session will be held for the prisoner Abu Hamid, who is ill with cancer and who is facing a critical health condition, on October 23, in order to consider his request for his early release again before the Central Court of the Occupation.

It is noteworthy that the occupation committee specialized in examining his request for his release had rejected his request for early release, despite his critical health condition.

LOS ANGELES - (AFP) - Actor Kevin Spacey was obliged to pay about $31 million to the producers of the series "House of Cards", from which he was excluded after accusations of sexual assault. former.

Spacey, who won two Oscars for "American Beauty" and "Young Subjects," is on trial in Britain for four sexual assaults against three men.

The charges were brought against Spacey in the wake of the launch of the “Me Too” movement, after the scandals of American film producer Harvey Weinstein, who was targeted by several accusations of sexual harassment and assault, were revealed in the fall of 2017. The wave of accusations against Spacey had dire consequences for the actor’s career.

MRC, the producer of the "House of Cards" series, which depicts behind-the-scenes politics in the White House, was claiming compensation for damages due to losses incurred as a result of excluding Spacey from work, as his dismissal made drastic changes to the sixth season of the series.

The 2020 arbitration concluded that Spicey should pay damages equivalent to the losses and costs incurred by the company as a result of these changes.

However, the representative's defense attorneys confirmed that the person who conducted the arbitration exceeded his powers by taking into account some evidence.

However, Judge Mel Red Ricana confirmed in his decision Thursday that the Hollywood star must pay about $ 31 million, including compensation for damages and lawsuit expenses.

The judge confirmed the arbitration's finding that Spacey breached the terms of his contract with the company because of the conduct he was accused of.
The actor has consistently denied that he sexually harassed anyone.

And Spacey embodied in "House of Cards" the role of an American politician named Frank Underwood who uses all crooked ways to reach the White House and remove his opponents.

In mid-July, Spacey pleaded not guilty in London to sexual assaults committed between March 2005 and April 2013.

In the United States, Spacey was charged with indecent assault and sexual assault in Massachusetts, on the American east coast. In July 2016, he was accused of sexually harassing an 18-year-old man working in a bar, after making him drink alcohol.

Translation by "Al Quds" dot com - The Israeli army revealed, this evening, Wednesday, the role played by armed drones during the recent military operation in the Gaza Strip .

According to what was revealed by senior Israeli officers in a security briefing to the Hebrew press - as mentioned by the Hebrew website Ynet - that those aircraft attacked more than 90% of the targets that were hit in the Gaza Strip, noting that 50 armed drones participated in the operation, which included what between hitting targets and collecting intelligence, in addition to using it as a radar to contribute to the missile interception process.

One of the officers claimed that her surgeries were 90% successful, claiming that no attempts to shoot down any of the drones were detected, due to the advantages they possess and the difficulty of locating them due to their low flight and the secrecy of their operations to varying degrees.

While the Hebrew Channel 7 reported, quoting another officer, that 2,000 flight hours, more than 100 sorties, and dozens of attacks were carried out by these planes.

An Israeli officer from the Palmachim base, which was supervising the operation of these planes, said that the entire Gaza Strip was covered by drones to collect intelligence information 24 hours a day, and they were producing accurate and high-quality information.

In response to a question by a Ynet reporter about whether the operations caused the deaths of Palestinian civilians - as he put it -, one of the officers said that investigations are still ongoing in this regard, referring to what was announced that an Israeli plane had bombed the children of the Al-Falluja cemetery in the northern Gaza Strip. It is not a local missile, as an Israeli military spokesman claimed at the time.

Muscat - "Jerusalem" dot com - The Shura Council in the Sultanate of Oman referred today, Monday, a bill amending Article 1 of the Boycott Israel Law to the Legislative and Legal Committee to complete the procedural aspects.

The deputy speaker of the Omani Shura Council, Yaqoub Al-Harthy, said, in statements published by Oman News Agency, after the end of the regular session, that the proposal expands the scope of the boycott stipulated in the aforementioned article, and leads to "an expansion of criminalization and an expansion of the boycott of this entity."

He pointed out that the law in its current form "prohibits dealing with the Israeli entity, whether for individuals or legal persons.

And that "the brothers, Your Excellencies (members of the Shura Council who applied for the request) looked at the development taking place, whether it was technical, cultural, economic or sports, and proposed additional amendments that include severing any economic, sports or cultural relations, and prohibiting dealing in any way or means, whether It was a real meeting (or) an electronic meeting (or) something else.

Sharm el-Sheikh ( Egypt ) - (AFP) - Pressure is mounting on Egypt on Tuesday to release its most famous prisoner, Alaa Abdel- Fattah. Awful."

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz appealed for Alaa's release from Sharm el-Sheikh, saying, "There should be a decision. It must be possible to release him so that his hunger strike does not end in death."

"The situation is very tense and we should be afraid that this will lead to terrible results," he added.

The UN rapporteur on freedom of assembly called on Tuesday afternoon for Alaa's release. "I join the calls for the immediate release of Alaa Abdel-Fattah, whose life is in danger and who have been prostrated for years because of his exercise of his legitimate right to demonstrate," Clement Voll wrote on Twitter.

A few hours ago, the spokeswoman for the High Commissioner for Human Rights, Ravina Shamdasani, said in a press statement in Geneva that the High Commissioner, Volker Türk, "deeply regrets that the Egyptian authorities have not yet released the blogger and activist whose life is in great danger."

"We are very concerned about his health," especially since the activist's family "has not been able to contact him in the past two days," she added.

She explained that Turk discussed the case of Alaa Abdel-Fattah with the Egyptian authorities on Friday, and the Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, discussed his case with the Egyptian authorities on the sidelines of the climate conference held in Sharm El-Sheikh, Egypt.

"Abdel-Fattah is in great danger. His water strike puts his life in danger," Türk said in a statement.

"My office and other UN human rights mechanisms have raised the case of Abdel Fattah and other people arbitrarily deprived of their liberty and imprisoned after unfair trials several times," he added.

In an indication of the sensitivity of the issue in a country that is regularly accused of violating human rights, United Nations security was forced on Tuesday to remove a member of the Egyptian parliament from a by-session held on the sidelines of the Climate Change Conference in Sharm El-Sheikh, after the representative tried to boycott Sanaa Seif, the human rights activist and sister of Alaa Abdel-Fattah, and prevented her. Who responded to him and attacked her severely, according to journalists from France Press.

Representative Amr Darwish, who is loyal to the authority, said that Alaa Abdel-Fattah is "an Egyptian citizen, and he is a criminal prisoner, not a politician. Why do you seek help from Western countries?" He added that Alaa "assaulted his country's army and police," indicating that he did not deserve mercy.

The Egyptian-British activist, one of the symbols of the 2011 revolution and whom President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi regularly criticizes in his speeches, was arrested in 2019 and sentenced to five years in prison in 2021 on charges of spreading false news for retweeting a tweet referring to the death of a prisoner in a prison.

At a press conference she held in Sharm El-Sheikh, where she is preparing to press for her brother's release, Sanaa Seif said that her family fears that the Egyptian authorities will "force" Alaa Abdel-Fattah to feed and that they "reject" any measure that takes place "against his will."

She explained that these fears increased after statements on Monday by Egyptian Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry, in which he confirmed that her brother was "receiving the necessary care" and by French President Emmanuel Macron, in which he quoted Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi as "a pledge to preserve his health."

Saif said she could not imagine her brother "now being forced to feed and put on a bed and handcuffed" for this purpose.

Alaa Abdel-Fattah, who announced a full hunger strike last week, stopped drinking water Sunday, coinciding with the opening of the Climate Conference to demand his freedom.

His mother, a professor of mathematics at Cairo University, went again on Tuesday to Wadi al-Natrun prison, located in a desert area 100 kilometers north of Cairo, in an attempt to obtain any evidence that her son was still alive after she spent more than 10 hours on Monday in front of the prison without being able to obtain On a handwritten letter reassuring her.

Alaa's younger sister, Mona Seif, said on Tuesday evening in a tweet on Twitter that her mother had not received anything new that could reassure her.

And she wrote, "Like yesterday, there is no answer, no explanation, and there is no need to confirm that Alaa is alive and conscious."

On Tuesday morning, Laila Soueif made an appeal on Facebook to the British Prime Minister and world leaders who are in Sharm El-Sheikh.

And she wrote, "The Egyptian authorities, who have a lot of blood on their hands, probably think that they can get away with a new crime, and they may be right. What would happen if a new death occurred in a prison cell?"

And she added, "Therefore, I address my words to others, to the British Prime Minister and all the leaders of the countries gathered in Sharm El-Sheikh. The Egyptian authorities are your friend and they are under your protection and not your adversary. If Alaa dies, you too will have blood on your hands while you claim that you represent countries in which there is every life." have value.”

On Monday morning, three Egyptian female journalists started a hunger strike at their union's headquarters in the heart of Cairo, to demand the release of Abdel Fattah.

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and French President Emmanuel Macron raised his issue with the Egyptian President in Sharm el-Sheikh on the sidelines of the "COP 27" conference.

According to Amnesty International, 766 prisoners of conscience have been released since the Egyptian authorities reactivated the Presidential Amnesty Committee last April.
But 1,540 others have been arrested and imprisoned since then, including Sherif El-Rouby, a left-wing activist who was remanded after his release, according to the international human rights organization.
Alaa Abdel-Fattah obtained British citizenship in prison in April through his British-born mother.

Kabul - (AFP) - Taliban elements chanted victory chants Monday in Kabul near the former headquarters of the US embassy, to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the movement's return to power in Afghanistan , a year that witnessed a major humanitarian crisis and a sharp decline in women's rights.

On August 15, 2021, the Taliban took control of the capital, Kabul, without encountering any resistance, following its lightning advance throughout the country, in light of the hasty withdrawal of US and NATO forces after twenty years of presence in Afghanistan.

"This great victory came after countless sacrifices and challenges," Deputy Prime Minister and one of the founders of the Taliban, Abdul Ghani Baradar, wrote on Twitter.

"On this day... the Islamic Emirate, the global superpower and its allies, knelt, and the Afghans gained their independence," he added.

The withdrawal of foreign forces continued in disarray until August 31, as tens of thousands of civilians flocked in panic to the capital's only airport, seeking to board whatever plane was available.

The world followed in amazement the crowds flocking to board the planes parked on the runway and how some climbed onto a plane or clung to a US military cargo plane during takeoff.

"We fulfilled the duty of jihad and liberated our country," said Nematollah Hekmat, a Taliban fighter who entered Kabul that day, a few hours after President Ashraf Ghani fled the country.

"It is a day of victory and happiness for Afghan Muslims and the Afghan people. It is the day of conquest and victory of the white flag" of the Islamic Emirate, wrote Taliban government spokesman Bilal Karimi on Twitter.

Monday was declared a public holiday.

Dozens of officers took pictures of themselves in Ahmed Shah Massoud Square, a large intersection decorated with large white flags of the Islamic Emirate, across from the former US embassy and leading to the airport, according to AFP photographer's observations.
And they chanted, during a spontaneous gathering in this square, "Long live the Islamic Emirate! God is great!"
A year later, Taliban fighters are glad to see their movement in power, while humanitarian agencies warn of grinding poverty affecting half of the country's 38 million people.
"When we entered Kabul, and when the Americans left, those were moments of joy," added Nematullah Hikmat, who is now a member of the special forces tasked with guarding the presidential palace.

But for ordinary Afghans, especially women, the return of the Taliban has only added to the difficulties.

Despite the promises they made in the beginning, the country's new rulers soon returned to imposing their strict interpretation of Islamic law that characterized their previous rule between 1996 and 2001 and severely restricted women's rights.

On the streets of the capital, Kabul, traffic was light and the population was quiet, except for the passage of trucks carrying armed Taliban elements carrying the flags of the Islamic Emirate, as was also seen in Kandahar, the Taliban's historic stronghold in the south of the country.

Some women dressed in burqas walked through the streets of Kandahar, carrying the emirate's flags.

However, women were largely excluded from government jobs and prohibited from traveling alone outside the cities in which they lived.
And in March, the Taliban banned girls from attending middle and high schools just hours after they reopened under a decision announced some time ago.

In early May, the Taliban's supreme commander, Hebatullah Akhundzada, ordered women to wear full-face veils in public. The Taliban have made it clear that they would prefer women to wear the burqa, but would tolerate other forms of veiling that reveal only the eyes.

"Since the day they arrived, life has lost its meaning... Everything has been taken from us, even our personal space," says Ogai Amail, a resident of Kabul.

On Saturday, Taliban gunmen with rifle butts and bullets dispersed a demonstration organized by about forty women to demand the right to work and education.

On Monday, about thirty of these demonstrators gathered at the house of one of them, and posted pictures on social media with slogans such as "Afghanistan's history is ashamed of closing schools."

"Our demand for justice was silenced with gunshots, but today we demand it from inside our house," protester Manisa Mubarez said in a text message to reporters.

Although Afghans acknowledge the decline in violence with the end of the war since the Taliban came to power, many Afghans are suffering deeply as a result of an acute economic and humanitarian crisis.

"People who come to our shops complain so much about the high prices that we shopkeepers start to hate what we do," said Noor Mohammad, a shopkeeper from Kandahar, the Taliban's historic birthplace and center of power in the south of the country.

But for the Islamist military, the joy of victory overshadows the current economic crisis.

One of them says, "We may be poor, we may be facing difficulties, but the white flag of Islam will fly high forever in Afghanistan."

Jenin - "Jerusalem" dot com - Ali Samoudi - On Saturday evening, the Israeli occupation forces arrested a young man from the town of Jaba, south of Jenin, at a military checkpoint.

Montaser Sammour, director of the Prisoner Club in Jenin, stated that the occupation forces arrested the young Jihad Taher Fashafsha while he was passing through the Beit El checkpoint near Ramallah , and he is a member of the security services.

BAGHDAD - (Xinhua) - Iraqis from different fields unanimously agreed that America seriously violated human rights in their country, the region and the world, and committed the most heinous crimes under the slogan of democracy and human rights, which are far from them.

They told Xinhua that although the United States has always promoted itself as a defender of human rights around the world, it is in fact the biggest violator of human rights and the culprit behind many wars, massacres and torture in the Middle East and beyond.

America invaded Iraq in 2003 and occupied it illegally and in violation of international law and left hundreds of thousands dead, wounded and detained, destroyed the infrastructure and created cracks in the social structure of society that led to the emigration and displacement of millions of Iraqis outside their country.

According to Statista, a global statistical database, from 2003 to 2021, about 209,000 Iraqi civilians died in wars and violent conflicts, and about 9.2 million Iraqis became refugees or were forced to leave their homeland.

In this regard, Dr. Kawa Mahmoud, secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Kurdistan in Iraq, told Xinhua, "The United States has carried out a lot of military interventions away from United Nations resolutions, and this is what happened in Afghanistan and Iraq," noting that America has 750 military bases. It is used in wars and internal conflicts in the countries of the world, which threatens global peace and security.

"In the name of democracy and excessive privatization and in the name of human rights, the United States is practicing its policies to put this region in its orbit and use it as markets and as primary sources," he added.

He stressed that the weapons of mass destruction adopted by Washington as a justification for invading Iraq did not exist, saying, "The Iraq issue is mainly a political issue, and the issue of weapons of mass destruction and the issue of democracy and others do not justify the invasion. We are always against the invasion and we are always against the blatant interference in the internal affairs of states."

He described what Washington did with the Guantanamo camp and the issue of prisoners in the Iraqi Abu Ghraib prison as a flagrant violation of human rights, adding, "The main problem is that America did not sign the Rome Convention on international criminal law, thus allowing its forces and military personnel to practice all disgraceful acts with impunity."

He continued, saying, "The United States, with its military movements, its military bases, and its interventions, does not take into account human rights standards and international agreements related to the treatment of prisoners, and exercises a kind of arrogance and domination, and these actions, according to all standards, are a violation of human rights."

He concluded by saying, "There should be no person, whether American or non-American, who is exempt from cases of human rights violations, but unfortunately the United States has practiced these violations through its military actions and through its invasion of many countries."

The Abu Ghraib prison scandal in 2004, in which the American occupation forces committed physical and psychological violations, sexual abuse, torture, rape and killing of Iraqi prisoners, is a good example of the invalidity of the slogan of human rights and American democracy.

In turn, Dr. Adel Al-Ghurairy, professor of international media at the University of Baghdad, described America as a rogue country trying to create crises to fuel conflicts between peoples to achieve its interests, stressing that America invaded Iraq in 2003 and looted its wealth and took control of oil sources under the lie of weapons of mass destruction.

He added that America is trying to create some arguments and pretexts to interfere in internal affairs, and what happened in Iraq is evidence that it was delusional to the world that there were weapons of mass destruction, but it destroyed Iraq and its infrastructure and the value, economic and political system in Iraq, and it turned out that these arguments and proofs are false and do not exist at all.

Al-Ghurairy stated, "The United States launches the slogan of human rights while it is far from it, and it has no connection with this concept, and what happened in Iraq in terms of massacres and killings at the hands of the occupying American soldiers and the security companies that came with it was the best evidence of that."

Al-Ghurairy held Washington responsible for the crimes it committed in Iraq, saying, "There are a million martyrs, killed, wounded and missing since 2003 and to this day. The United States and the blatant American project that came under the pretext of democracy is responsible for that, and it is not democratic at all. Rather, it is an occupation and theft of Iraqi wealth and control of the region." and impose domination over it.

He said, "America committed crimes during its occupation of Iraq and killed many citizens in cold blood as a result of passing in front of American bases or in front of American convoys," adding, "The American forces are criminal and their dealings are criminal for killing many innocent people."
He stressed that what happened in Guantanamo, the Air Base in Afghanistan and Abu Ghraib prison is the best evidence that America violated the principle of human rights and dealt very badly with it, expressing his wishes that the International Court of Justice open the files of prisons and the crimes it committed in Iraq.

He added, "We were hoping that the International Court of Justice in The Hague would open the file of these crimes and genocide because America committed genocide, especially in the battle of Fallujah and its use of internationally prohibited weapons," describing the American behavior as deviant and working to spread terrorism, violence, murder and criminality in many countries of the world.

Shaher al-Obeidi, a researcher on political affairs, shared the opinion that America violated human rights and invaded Iraq illegally, saying, "There are no human rights, and the evidence for that is that the American soldier does not have any prosecution for any work he does in the countries it occupies or has military operations in." .

And he stressed the existence of a violation of human rights in the prisons that it established in the countries that occupied it, and it is clearly visible at all times. The best evidence of that is what happened in Afghanistan and the Abu Ghraib prison, which was recognized by America itself, and the pictures were shown to international news agencies.

As for the civil activist Raad Majeed, he believes that America came as an occupier and caused great suffering to the Iraqis.

Majeed confirmed that he is a victim of the American occupation, as the American forces arrested him for two years and seven months without any guilt, indicating that he will continue to pursue America, saying, "I will continue to demand my right from the United States because it came to me in the name of democracy, but it destroyed me and destroyed the youth and destroyed most Iraqis."

For his part, Ahmed Al-Banna, a bodybuilding coach, stressed that America has violated human rights, wondering what is the fault of a person who remains in prison for five years without guilt? He added, "America did not come to Iraq to liberate it, but rather to destroy it."

As for Ibrahim Al-Quraishi (retired), he said, "The Americans came under the pretext of democracy in order to dominate the countries of the Middle East, especially Iraq," adding, "It is not democracy, it is dictatorship, it is criminality, and it is a massacre of the peoples of the Middle East."

Ramallah - "Jerusalem" dot com - The Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs confirmed in a report issued Thursday afternoon that the prisoner Abdel Basset Maatan, who has been suffering from colon and gland cancer for several years, is in urgent need of periodic medical care for his condition.

The authority indicated that the occupation army had re-arrested Maatan on July 21, while he was trying to travel to Turkey to complete his treatment there, and an administrative detention order was issued against him for a period of 6 months, noting that he was released during the month of April after spending several months in administrative detention.

She added that the prisoner, Maatan, had been diagnosed with cancer in 2018, and at that time he underwent several complex surgeries during which part of his colon was removed, and he also underwent chemotherapy sessions that affected his condition and led to discs in his back.

The Commission indicated that after the arrest of the prisoner Maatan during the past year, the occupation authorities did not recognize his medical files, which prove that he had cancer, and deliberately ignored his difficult situation and procrastinated in referring him to an oncologist, knowing that his condition requires close follow-up and periodic examinations every 6 months, for fear of The possibility of the disease spreading again inside his body.

The Prisoners Authority held the administration of occupation prisons fully responsible for the life and fate of the prisoner Maatan, calling on the institutions of the international community to intervene immediately and urgently in order to release him and all sick prisoners against whom a systematic medical crime is practiced every day inside prisons, and to put an end to their suffering.

It is worth mentioning that the prisoner, Maatan (49 years), is from the village of Barqa, in the district of Ramallah. He is a retired professor and father of four children, and a former prisoner who spent 9 years in the occupation prisons.

(Greetings be upon the Prophet, the Chosen One, may our Lord unite us in him and in you, in the gardens of eternity, and I ask God to accept you as a martyr, my beloved of my heart) And she repeats: “God is pleased with you.

The takbeers became louder, and the attempts of the family, relatives, and friends of the martyr were loud, as they tried to calm the mother, “Umm Dhirar,” and alleviate her anguish and distress, especially after she drowned in a sea of tears while addressing her martyr, “Forgive me, mother.. Peace be upon the Messenger.” But the bereaved mother, insisted on To continue hugging her son and reciting Quranic verses at his head, and asking his two sisters, Rafif (13 years old) and Nour (5 years), to hug him, kiss him, and bid him farewell, as she recalls his virtues, and repeats: “He was affectionate and kind-hearted, righteous and the closest person to me and his sisters, and today is our soul and our life.” I went with him to the grave.. Who wants to make light and Rafif happy? This is a criminal and unjust occupation. It kills our children, steals our lives, and destroys our dreams.

Dirar was born, raised and brought up in the Jenin camp, 16 years and nine months ago, and his mother says: "He never upset me, nor did he lose sight of me for a moment, and I feel that the bullet that hit him hit us all.. My son was not wanted and he was still young.. The occupation killed him with hasty blood. I feel proud because he had a patriotic spirit, and he had magnanimity, fraternity, and love for his country, and he was never late to participate in marches and events and carry martyrs, and despite that, there is no reason for his execution.”

Dirar's comrades narrate that he had a great patriotic spirit, and was always keen to participate in national activities and marches.

As usual, Dirar did not delay in performing his duty when the occupation and special units stormed the Jenin camp and surrounded the house of Sheikh Bassam al-Saadi. Like dozens of residents of the camp, he rose and participated in the confrontations and confronting the army, which met with fierce resistance. He was hit by a bullet in the face, and according to doctors, it led to an explosion in his face Severe bleeding and his martyrdom. The Jenin Brigade described him as one of the heroes of the night confusion, who rose as a martyr while carrying out his sacred jihadi duty and confronting the occupation forces.

Immediately after Dirar arrived at the Martyr Khalil Suleiman Governmental Hospital, the doctors announced his death, at a time when his mother, Yasmine, was in her home in the Jenin camp, so she suddenly felt constriction and suffocation before the news reached her. Her shock was great when she did not find his corpse, which was carried on the shoulders of his comrades, as they roamed the streets of the camp, indignant and angry, vowing to continue his path. So she sat on the hospital gate until he approached her, so she could not control her nerves, and she started screaming that did not stop even after he was brought to her house to take a last farewell look at his corpse. Immaculate, so she bid him farewell with tears and her tongue begged the Lord of the worlds to accept him with the prophets and martyrs in the gardens of bliss.

In the hospital, there were many pictures and poignant scenes. Dirar’s friends collapsed from crying, and his resistance brothers embraced him with patience and loyalty. As for his father, he could not control himself, so he cried hard and bid him farewell with tears, while the father of the martyr Amjad Al-Fayed, who rose about two months ago, stood beside him. And he was patient, and after a long silence, the father said: "Praise be to God, who honored him with martyrdom and this rank, and God willing, to the gardens of eternity." Then he hugged his son and said: "Sleep well. We will not forget you, and your spirit will remain alive and accompany us forever."

His daughter, Kelly Nascimento, said in an interview with Brazilian broadcaster Globo that Pele "is sick, he is old, but he is currently in hospital with a lung infection, and when he gets better, he will go home."

Pele suffers from pneumonia as a result of his infection with Covid-19 three weeks ago.

For her part, her sister Flavia Arantes said that Pele "is not in the intensive care unit, he is in a regular room. He is not in danger, he is undergoing treatment."

Edson Arantes do Nascimento, better known as Pele, was admitted to the Albert Einstein Hospital in Sao Paulo on Tuesday for a re-evaluation of his treatment for colon cancer. Doctors said his respiratory infection was "treated with antibiotics".

The hospital said on Saturday that his condition was "stable" and that he was responding well to treatment for a respiratory infection. This was confirmed again by the hospital's media office to AFP on Sunday.

According to local sources, the occupation forces threw tear gas canisters and sound bombs at the citizens after they went out in a march to announce civil disobedience.

The camp residents decided, as part of the open civil disobedience steps, to shut down the camp’s schools, and to call on Jerusalem schools to strike and close down, and to ask the parents’ committees in the city of Jerusalem to stop a protest after the Shuafat camp checkpoint at 10:00 am tomorrow, Wednesday.

It was decided to prevent the use of cars after ten in the evening, except for emergency cases, and to close shops on Wednesday.

It was also decided that workers will not go out to work, starting tomorrow, Wednesday.

Shuafat camp has been suffering since Sunday from a siege imposed by the occupation forces under the pretext of searching for the perpetrator of the shooting attack on Saturday evening, at the camp checkpoint, which led to the killing of a female soldier.

Gaza - "Jerusalem" dot com - Doctors and mental health specialists working for international organizations confirmed that a third of the population of the Gaza Strip needs psychological and social support as a result of the deteriorating living and economic conditions and the harsh conditions that families suffer from as a result of the Israeli clampdown on the Strip.

Dr. Akihiro Seita, Director of the Health Department at the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), said, "One-third of Gaza's population has some psychological problems."

"This is evidenced by the fact that 40% of first-grade students suffer from health and psychological problems," Sita said in an interview with Al-Ghad TV on the sidelines of a conference held yesterday in Gaza.

Sita expressed his concern about the steady increase in the number of cases in need of psychosocial support in Gaza.

He said, "We at UNRWA are very concerned about the steady increase in numbers, not only in the current period, but also in the coming period. Therefore, this is a problem that needs solutions."

He explained that they have two basic plans, first, modernizing the health system so that mental health is integrated into the integrated health system for UNRWA numbers, and second, working with partners to provide more services in terms of psychological support.

"The number is increasing, and we need more support regarding mental health in Gaza," he added.

In turn, Dr. Youssef Shaheen, Head of the Disease Prevention and Control Program at UNRWA, said, "The mental health and psychological support program provided by UNRWA is one of the most important programs for following up and treating more than 87,000 cases in the Gaza Strip."

And about the symptoms that appear on the cases, Shaheen explained, they appear on patients with depression and epilepsy, and there are other cases related to chronic diseases and physical diseases that we do not find an explanation for and have a psychological origin.

He added, "We are working with the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and the governmental and non-governmental sectors in order to enhance the mental health of the residents of the Gaza Strip."

Shaheen stressed that there is difficulty in some patients responding to treatment, but there are positive indications, and we are working with our colleagues with maximum energy to provide services for cases in Gaza.

He said, "There is a great burden on the colleagues, but we work as one team to overcome the difficulties."

For her part, Dr. Ghada Al-Jedba, Head of the UNRWA Health Program, said that people in Gaza live in a state of frustration and psychological deterioration as a result of the deteriorating economic and socio-political conditions.

Al-Jadiyya said in an interview that the psychological situation of the population before the Corona pandemic was deteriorating, and the war came in May 2021 and led to psychological trauma, in addition to the living conditions such as electricity and water cuts, high rates of poverty and unemployment, all factors that led to the deterioration of the health and psychological condition of the residents of Gaza.

Al-Jadabah explained that there are many symptoms and psychological problems that may translate from some patients to physical problems such as persistent headaches, stomach and joint pain, fatigue, anxiety, feeling depressed, lack of sleep, nightmares, inability to dialogue, desire for isolation, and the least that may happen. The person explodes and leads to domestic violence, and it may reach the point of suicidal ideation, which has increased.”

For her part, Michaela Lapisini, Director of the Child Protection Department at UNICEF in Palestine, indicated that the organization provided assistance to more than 42,000 children in the Gaza Strip last year to access mental health services through family centers or partners in Gaza.

Lapisini confirmed that funding is one of the obstacles that we face in reaching a larger number of children, and that is why we work with our main and local partners in Gaza to ensure that we reach the largest number of children within the available capabilities.

For his part, Dr. Sami Oweida of the Gaza Mental Health Program said that the numbers that need psychological and social support may be higher than those mentioned, based on professional impressions and research statistics.

Awaida confirmed the existence of a close relationship between the psychological state in Gaza or psychological disorders and its causes, one of the most important of which is the existence of the Israeli occupation, the blockade and its consequences.

Awaida pointed out that more than 65% of the population of Gaza live below the poverty line, and more than 60% are unemployed, in addition to the existence of tragic cases that cannot work or provide the most basic household needs.

He said: "Suicide is sometimes an inevitable result of difficult situations when the head of the family does not find anything to support his family with, so he will feel frustrated and that he has no value. Therefore, with the development of the bad psychological state and the lack of possible interventions, he believes that death is more comfortable than survival, and this explains the existing cases of suicide." ".

He added: "There is a positive case as long as the occupation remains, there are few job opportunities, and the bad economic situation does not expect the psychological state to improve."

He added, "There is a great need for psychotherapeutic interventions, and the sources in Qalqilya and the staff that work cannot cover all cases."

"He talked about a large prison that houses 2,200,000 people and hundreds of thousands who need psychological support," he said.

Translation by "Jerusalem" dot com - The Hebrew newspaper "Haaretz" said, on Tuesday, that Gaza is living in a state of extraordinary silence, despite the tense security situation in the West Bank and Jerusalem, and in view of the dimensions of what is happening there.

According to Amos Harel, the reporter and military analyst in the newspaper, Amos Harel, in his analytical report, the extent of Hamas's influence on what is happening in the West Bank is still weak, despite the movement's great efforts to ignite the situation there. .

According to Harel, most of the recent detainees who participated in shooting operations, whether inside Palestinian cities during incursions or through attacks, said in their investigations with the "Shin Bet" that they did not sympathize with any organization, and did not act on instructions from anyone.

And he considered that what is happening in Jenin and Nablus and the daily friction, and the fall of Palestinian victims, seems to have affected the scope of events in other areas of the West Bank and Jerusalem, which explains the operation that took place at the Shuafat checkpoint in an attack that is the first of its kind in Jerusalem in recent weeks.

And he indicated that the Israeli army still distinguishes between 3 different areas, the first is Jenin, in which the Palestinian Authority has completely lost control, which is what prompted the army to operate daily there, and the second in Nablus, the shooting operations increased, but the authority is trying to some extent to control its anger at the armed cells, especially The Lions' Den, while the third is in areas south of Nablus, which the authority still controls, and the number of attacks and frictions there is not high.

He pointed out that the General Staff of the Israeli army believes that the tensions in the West Bank do not require an operation along the lines of "Defensive Wall 2" and that there will be a need in the future for a large-scale activity that will focus on the Jenin area and possibly Nablus.

GAZA , Al-Quds.com - (Xinhua) Three Palestinian students from the Gaza Strip succeeded in inventing the first smart robot that helps rescue teams reach the injured under the rubble more quickly to reduce the chances of risking their lives.

Over the course of many months, the brothers Rama, Ahmed Ibrahim, and Youssef Akl, all of whom were in high school, worked on making a robot that relies on artificial intelligence using simple electronic tools available in their environment.

The three young men gave their invention the name " Rescue Robot ", which was in the form of a small box that walked on wheels and carried an electronic board that helped control it remotely via "Bluetooth" through an application installed on a mobile phone.

And as soon as the robot, equipped with a camera and an alarm siren, reaches the injured person stuck under the rubble, it emits continuous beeps, while notifications are sent to the mobile phone used by the rescuers during the mission, according to the three inventors.

Rama Ibrahim told Xinhua that the team got the idea to invent the robot after the last wave of tension over the Gaza Strip ended in May last year, when dozens of civilians "lost their lives while they were stuck under the rubble."

Rama adds, while she was observing the operation of the robot on her computer screen, that the rescue team and civil defense crews "had great difficulty in reaching the injured and victims in record time due to the bombing and the constant power outages."

In May of last year, the Israeli army launched a fierce aggression against the Strip that lasted for 11 days, after the armed Palestinian factions launched a barrage of rockets at Israeli towns and cities, in response to the settlers' provocations against the Palestinians in Al-Aqsa Mosque and East Jerusalem.

The Israeli warplanes targeted a large percentage of the infrastructure in the Strip under the pretext of targeting the "subway" of the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas), which caused the collapse of dozens of civilian homes over the heads of their residents, most of whom were killed under the rubble.

More than 260 Palestinians were killed during the aggression on the Strip, most of them civilians, and thousands were injured, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, compared to 14 Israelis who were killed as a result of Palestinian rockets hitting Israeli towns and cities.

Rama says that these unexpected circumstances contributed greatly to the high number of victims, whether they were civilians or even workers in the rescue teams who were endangering their lives while entering under the rubble to extract the injured.

Therefore, the trio team has a great desire to take advantage of artificial intelligence and manufacture a robot that helps find solutions that enable rescue teams to reach the injured as quickly as possible.

"My colleagues and I studied the idea of making a robot and set a time plan for that, as we relied on using electronic tools available to us, most of which are leftovers of damaged electronic games or electrical tools that are not used," she explains.

For his part, Youssef Akl told Xinhua, "Unfortunately, we live in a conflict zone that is constantly witnessing wars, which means that we should prepare for such harsh conditions in the future."

Akl added, while he was driving the robot using a remote control, "There is not a small percentage of the victims who died because of suffocation under the rubble, not because of the bombing," noting that there were no suitable openings to get them out.

He explained that what distinguishes the robot is that it is able to reach the victims through narrow openings that a person cannot enter from, considering that such an invention contributes greatly to protecting the rescue teams from exposure to danger.

The three students faced difficulties during the manufacture of the robot in light of the lack of all the necessary materials for its manufacture, including a small and accurate quad captur camera, in addition to the high price of other materials, but this did not stand in the way of continuing their work.

Ahmed says, "Despite the obstacles, we had insistence on making the initial shape of the robot," noting that the team is currently working on developing the shape of the robot to become a "snake that can reach the most narrow areas."■

London - (AFP) - The eyes of movie lovers and those concerned with the seventh art will turn to London on Tuesday evening, where the upcoming movie "Avatar 2", which is hoped to generate revenues of billions of dollars and restore life to the halls, will be forgotten by the pandemic phase.

The cinema sector is counting on “ Avatar : The Way of Water”, directed by James Cameron, which is the sequel to his previous movie “Avatar”, to confirm the continuation of the big screens alive, after their decline in front of the streaming platforms.

The ambition is not limited to that, but also includes the bet that this sequel, which begins showings in the United States on December 16 and in other parts of the world, will be able to surpass the first part, which is considered the highest-grossing film in the world, and open The road to the birth of a series of films that reap great success similar to that known by the "Star Wars" or "Star Wars" phenomenon.

Thirteen years after the first "Avatar", whose global revenues approached three billion dollars, the events of the new part revolve around the star Pandora, located at a very far distance from Earth, within a science fiction story of an environmental nature.

The film, like its predecessor, was filmed to be shown in 3D, includes a large amount of digital images, and runs for three hours and 12 minutes.

The story was kept very secret, but information indicates that a new tribe appears in the film, consisting of local aliens living in a marine environment, and that the film includes the survivors of the first part, namely Jake Sally (Sam Worthington) and Neytiri (Zoe Saldana) and their children. Kate Winslet joins the cast a quarter of a century after the movie "Titanic", which made her famous.

The film constitutes a great challenge for James Cameron, who is considered the undisputed king of the global box office, as he achieved one record after another, starting with the movie "Titanic", and then with the first part of "Avatar", which is still to this day the highest income in the world. The film also represents a very important station for Disney, as the scenes for the third part were filmed, and there is a trend for a new part of “Avatar” every two years, at least until the fifth in 2028.

New Orleans - (AFP) - French President Emmanuel Macron announced that he had a "clear and frank conversation", Friday in New Orleans, with the new head of Twitter , Elon Musk , and stressed the need for this social platform to make "efforts" in terms of transparency and Enhanced Content Control.

In a series of tweets, the French president also said that he had discussed with the founder of Tesla "future green industrial projects, such as the production of electric cars and batteries," without going into further details.

"This afternoon I met Elon Musk and we had a clear and frank discussion," Macron wrote.

For his part, Musk said he was "excited" about "exciting projects in France," without elaborating.

This meeting, which lasted an hour, was not previously announced by the Elysee, and it took place away from the media.

Macron posted a picture of himself with Musk at the New Orleans Museum of Art, which is where the French president then gave a speech on Francophonie at the end of a three-day state visit to the United States.

(AFP) - Croatia, the runner-up in the last edition, and Belgium, the third, will start their campaign with a difficult test against Morocco and Canada, respectively, on Wednesday in the first round of Group Six competitions in the World Cup in Qatar .
The Croatian and Belgian teams blew up a heavy-caliber surprise in the 2018 World Cup in Russia, so they were just around the corner from the first title in its history, as the first lost the final match against France, which eliminated Belgium in the semi-finals.
Their participation in the Qatar World Cup will be with the ambition of repeating the achievement of 2018 at least, given their star-studded formations, for example, but not limited to the Spanish Real Madrid playmakers, the veteran Croatian Luka Modric (37 years), the English Manchester City and Belgium Kevin De Bruyne.
On paper, they appear to be strong candidates for grabbing the Sixth Group cards, and they will seek to confirm this starting from the two matches tomorrow, as well as the second round, when they exchange confrontations with Morocco and Canada, before they meet in the last third.
But the two European teams are well aware that the task will not be easy for two stubborn opponents who hope to pass the first round and confirm that their access to the finals was not a coincidence.
It will be the first official confrontation between Morocco and Croatia, and the second in the history of their confrontation after the first in the Hassan II International Tournament in 1998, in preparation for the French World Cup, which the European Brazilians finished in third place.
Croatia coach Zlatko Dalic warned his players not to underestimate the competitors, stressing that "there is no easy opponent, an easy group, this is the world championship (...) I trust my team (...) our goal is to qualify for the group."
"We must forget the past, and not fall into the trap of thinking about what happened four years ago," he added.
Croatia is counting on its leader, Modric, the best player in the world in 2018, who will compete in the last world wedding in his professional career, along with other veterans, Inter Milan midfielder Marcelo Brozovic and Tottenham winger Ivan Perisic, and the latter two will face their former colleague in the Italian club, Ashraf Hakimi.
The Paris Saint-Germain defender, currently in France, interacted with the results of the draw by publishing a tweet attached to a picture of him with Perisic and the Belgian Romelu Lukaku, commenting, "See you soon."

Moroccan national team coach Walid Rekragui stressed the need to focus on Wednesday's match, "because it is the most important. It is our first in the World Cup, and we must be at the top of our focus in order to achieve a good result that enhances our chances of passing the first round."
He added, "We will play in a complex and difficult group. We have a good team, morale is high, our players are good, and we hope to achieve something."
Morocco is playing the match with full ranks, except for the absence of Zakaria Abu Khallal (Toulouse) and Elias Shaer (Queens Park Rangers, England) due to injury.
The team doctor, Abdul Razzaq Hefti, confirmed that Abu Khallal will be ready to play the second match, while a decision will be taken regarding Shaer later, and Salim Amlah (Belgian Standard Liege) recovered from a minor injury.

Belgium begins its campaign with a test that is not without difficulty against Canada, especially since its striker and Inter Milan, Romelu Lukaku, will be absent from its ranks, at least in its first two matches, due to injury.
And the Spanish coach of Belgium, Roberto Martinez, decided to call the best scorer in the history of the national team (68 goals in 102 games), to the final squad, despite the injury he suffers from in the posterior muscle of his left thigh.
Belgium ended its preparations for the Qatar World Cup with an alarming loss to Egypt 1-2 on Friday at Jaber Al-Ahmad Stadium in Kuwait in an international friendly match.
The Belgian national team players expressed their annoyance at the media's criticism in their country, especially Borussia Dortmund's German defender Thomas Meunier, who said, "I do not understand why we do not show more enthusiasm in Belgium" towards the Red Devils.
"You journalists are the main link between the national team and the public. So when you criticize and keep repeating that the World Cup will be difficult, it affects people," he said in a press conference on Monday.
Meunier showed his disappointment with the "negativity" of the Belgian press.
He continued, "When I sometimes read in the Dutch media that their country is going to go far in the competition, when, sorry, I think they have a great team and from here they are going to go far in this tournament..., I don't understand that we don't show more enthusiasm in Belgium." ".
And his colleague, Atletico Madrid midfielder Axel Witsel, spoke in a similar speech about the lack of enthusiasm among his compatriots on Sunday, and said: "All this negativity, this is a shame. People have the right to express their opinions, but I find that a shame in spite of everything."
He added, "In 2018, we made an exceptional journey (we reached the semi-finals), and we were all at the top individually and collectively. We want to do the same in Qatar. The future will tell us."

On the other hand, English coach John Herdman hopes to lead Canada to achieve a surprise and qualify for the playoffs, before hosting the 2026 finals with the participation of the United States and Mexico.
Herdman (47 years) succeeded in leading Canada, the leaders of the CONCACAF qualifiers, to the World Cup for the first time since 1986 by spreading the spirit of brotherhood among the players, combining talent and experience and restoring hope to an entire country.

New York (AFP) - Twitter plans to re-launch a new paid subscription service on Monday, which will be more expensive for users of "Apple" devices and include a system to verify accounts on the platform.

And the official Twitter page tweeted on Saturday, "We will re-launch + Twitter Blue +, which includes a monthly subscription to the site for $ 8, or $ 11 for iOS + systems, and allows users to take advantage of the features designated for subscribers, most notably the blue authentication mark."

The group indicated that the blue tick is obtained by the user after a verification process.
The color of the mark will change to golden for corporate accounts, while later during the week it will become gray for accounts of government institutions.

Subscribers will also have the ability to correct their tweets after they have been posted or to upload better quality videos.

The official Twitter page tweeted, "Thank you for your patience while we strive to make improvements to the +Blu+ service."

Since his acquisition of Twitter at the end of October, Elon Musk has announced his desire to launch a paid formula to diversify the platform's revenues, whose financial position relies heavily on revenue from advertising.

The first version was launched ten days after the multi-activity businessman took over the platform, i.e. the beginning of November, but it caused chaos in the social network with the emergence of a large number of accounts claiming to represent specific personalities or companies.

The service was suspended immediately.

Musk had promised that the service would return to work at the end of November, before announcing a few days later that the project would be postponed indefinitely, until a system was reached to prevent impersonation.

Before Musk's acquisition of Twitter, the platform provided the "blue tick" feature to verify the accounts of organizations and known people for free, and it offered a paid subscription that included additional options.

San Salvador - (AFP) - Hurricane Julia, which became a tropical storm after hitting Guatemala on Monday, claimed the lives of five people in El Salvador and Honduras, causing a lot of damage in other Central American countries.

The National Hurricane Center, based in the United States, said that "the eye of Storm Julia penetrated the territory" of Guatemala and "is expected to dissipate by evening as it continues its path to southern Guatemala."

The center stated that Julia, which was a category one hurricane, hit the coast of Nicaragua on the Caribbean Sea at dawn on Sunday and still poses a "risk" of the possibility of floods and landslides that "may cause victims" in Central America and southern Mexico.

On Monday, El Salvadoran police wrote in a tweet that "at least two people were killed" when a wall collapsed in a house in Guataquiaogua, about 150 km east of San Salvador.

A third person died in El Salvador when a tree fell on his home in the city of Caluco in the southwestern state of Sonsonate, according to rescue teams.

Two people drowned in Honduras after their boat sank, while a third is still missing, according to Filmer Wood, mayor of Bruce Laguna in eastern Honduras.

In Guatemala, the Coordinating Committee for Disaster Prevention reported the disappearance of two men in the flooding Cajabun River in the north of the country.
From Guatemala to Panama, the authorities recorded heavy rains, accompanied by strong winds, which damaged roads and destroyed homes and bridges.

Julia is the second hurricane of the current season to hit Central America after Bonnie in July along the border between Nicaragua and Costa Rica.

At the end of the year 2020, Hurricanes Eta and Utah killed at least 200 people and caused millions of dollars in damage.
