🇵🇸 Amidst the rubble of his destroyed home, Ashraf Nafedth burns a book he once treasured—a guide to international law. He now sees it as a lie, failing to protect people like him. The unfair treatment of countries like Palestine by powerful nations like the US shatters his trust in these laws. His burning of the book symbolizes his loss of faith in international law's ability to keep him safe and reflects the struggles of many in similar situations.
🇵🇸 وسط أنقاض منزله المدمر، أحرق أشرف نافذ كتابًا كان يعتز به ذات يوم - دليل للقانون الدولي. وهو يرى الآن أنها كذبة، وفشل في حماية الأشخاص مثله. إن المعاملة غير العادلة لدول مثل فلسطين من قبل الدول القوية مثل الولايات المتحدة تحطم ثقته في هذه القوانين. إن حرقه للكتاب يرمز إلى فقدانه الثقة في قدرة القانون الدولي على الحفاظ على سلامته ويعكس نضالات الكثيرين في مواقف مماثلة.

"H. Tucker a refusé dě trahir," La Patrie. October 5, 1933. Page 3 & 11. ---- Celui qui lui procurait les narcotiques. - Il accuse Feigenbaum et défend Davis. Les secrets de Bordeaux. ---- La défense a, ce matin, commencé, en cour du bane du roi, à faire t’entendre ses témoins à décharge, dans la cause de Harry Davis, accusé d'avoir conspiré pour importer au-delà de $200,000 de narcotiques au Canada, au Cours de l'année 1330.
Le procès tire à sa fin. On attend un verdict cet après-midi, ou demain matin.
Le premier témoin eat Max Shapiro, 42 ans, tenancier d'un "bookie", bookie à 1403, rue Peel, Il est Intéressé dans te White House Inn de Lachine. Le cinq septembre 1930, Pincus Brescher de New- York, qu'll connaissait depuis un an, vint lui demander d'envoyer, par l'entremise de la banque Koyale, succursale de la rue Stanley la somme de $10.000 à Polakowitz, à Paris. Il le fit sans savoir d'on venait cet argent.
Jamais il ne reçut d'argent de Davis, pour des drogues. Il connaît Feigenbaum qui venait souvent le visiter au White House Inn. I jure n'avoir jamais vu Davis, Charles Feigenbaum et Brescher, "en conférence".
A une question de la couronne, il répond qu'il a déjà été arrêté, et purgea une sentence de trois ans, à Toledo, en 1931. Il venait d'être trouvé coupable qu'il s'échappa, et perdit son cautionne ment de $5.000.
Quelle était l’accusation, lut demande-t-on.
-De contrebande de liqueurs alcooliques.
- Il devait y en avoir beaucoup pour que l'on exigeât un cautiounement de $5.000.
- Rien qu'un camion de whiskey!
Le notaire Samuel Caplan. 10. ouest, rue Saint-Jacques, est ensuite appelé, et jure qu'il a vu Bezumny venir à son bureau en 1930, signer un affidavit. Bezumny, on s'en souvient, affirma lo contraire.
SENSATION Vient ensuite un témoin sensationnel. Harry Tucker, 32 ans. 1146. rue Mansfield, qui se dit commis chez un "bookie", rue Mansfield.
Il fut condamné avec Arcadi, pour contrebande de drogues, il y a quelque temps. Il connaît Davis l'accusé depuis sept ans.
- Le kilo de morphine que vous avez vendu à la R.C.M.P., sans le savoir, d'où venait-il? Je refuse de répondre.
- Venait-il de Davis?
- Certainement non.
- De qui alors?
- Celui qui me l'a fourni est maintenant "amendé" et je ne le trahirai certainement pas.
- Arcadi sait-il où vous avez pris les drogues?
- Non monsieur.
Tucker explique ensuite la transaction qu'il eut en compagnie d'Arcadi, avec le sergent détective W. C. Black, de la gendarmerie royale transaction à in fin de laquelle il fut arrêté, le 11 octobre 1930.
- Connaissez-vous Charies Feigenbaum?
- Oui.
- On l'avez-vous rencontré?
- A la prison de Bordeaux.
- Comment çà?
- Vous savez on ne dort pas à Bordeaux. Une bonne nuit, Feigenbaum et moi avons joué aux cartes, Soudain, il s'est excité (got hot), et m'a demandé si je voulais sortir de prison. En voila une question à demander, qu'en pensez-vous?
- Est-ce tout ce qu'il vous a dit?
- Non, il ajouta qu'il voulait "caler" deux hommes, Davis, et un autre, et les faire incarcérer pour la vie. Pourquoi?
- Parce qu'ils lui devaient une cinquantaine de dollars. -Qu'avez-vous fait?
- Je l'ai giflé.
- L'avez-vous rencontré de nouveau.
- Oui encore à la "synagogue" de la prison?
- Y alliez-vous souvent à la "synagogue"?
- Ce sont les seules fois que il y a mis les pieds?
- Vous a-t-il demandé où vous prennes votre "marchandise"?
- Oui, et je n'ai pas voulu le lut dire.
- Ouvous a-t-il répondu?
- Il m'a dit: je dols sortir dans une semaine, si tu changes d'idée, va voir ma femme, qui lent une épicerie à l'angle des rues Saint-Urbain et Milton, et elle communiquera avec mol.
- Qu'auriez-vous fait alors?
- Chez ses parents, dans le Tennes
- Il voulait ensuite m'envoyer ici, où j'aurais été en sécurité.
- Avez-vous accepté?
- Je lui al dit que j'y penserais.
- L'avez-vous giflé encore?
- C'est trop dangereux à la prison.
- Connaissez-vous un autre prisonnier du nom de McGruden?
- Oui. Il tenta lui aussi de me "pomper", d'obtenir des renseignements sur mes sources de revenus.
- Le lui avez-vous dit?
--Il n'y a pas de danger.
- Arcadi vous avait-il offert de l'argent pour vos renseignements?
- Oui.
- $1,000. Il payait en plus mes frais d'avocats. Je recevais une sentence de six mois, et il était libre.
-Comment ça ?
- J'étais l'anneau qui manquait à la conspiration qu'il voulait fomenter contre Davis, en voulant me faire affirmer devant les tribunaux, que j'avais obtenu les drogues de lui.
- Vous avez dit tout à l'heure, continue le procureur de la couronne, que vous n'alliez à la "synagogue" que lorsque vous étiez en prison. Croyez-vous à la religion juive?
- Comme et, comme ça.
- Croyez-vous à l'ancien testament.
- Où voulez vous en venir. Je vous dit que j'y crois relativement. Je dis mes prières tous les soirs. Est-ce que cela vous va?
- Avez-vous reçu la visite de Davis à la prison?
- Je ne m'en souviens pas.
- Comment ça ?
- Je le connais depuis sept ans. et s'il est venu me voir, je vous assure qu'il est bougrement changé, depuis.
HARRY DAVIS La défense fait alors demander Harry Davis, l'accusé, dans la bol-i te aux témoins.
Davis qui se dit âgé de 34 ans a été condamné une seule fols dans sa vie, en février 1925, à six mois de prison, pour avoir été trouvé en possession de narcotiques.
Il jure qu'il ne s'est aucunement occupé de drogues depuis lors.
-Que faisiez-vous en 1930?
- J'avais des intérêts dans le cabaret Frolics, ouvert à la fin de 1929, rue Saint-Laurent.
- Connaissiez-vous alors Pincus Brescher?
-Non je l'ai rencontré pour la première fois en 1931.
- Aviez-vous un compte de banque?
- Oui, à la banque Royale, succursale angle des rues Sainte-Catherine et Saint-Laurent.
- L'avez-vous encore ?
- Certainement.
SEANCE D'HIER APRES-MIDI La séance d'hier apris-midi, à la Cour du bane du roi, a été consacré à retracer certains appels téléphoniques que l'on dit reliés à la cruse de Davis, et à déchiffrer des télégrammes secrets. A la fin de la session, la couronne déclara close sa preuve.
Les appels téléphoniques en question auraient été faite d'Olinville. New-York, à plusieurs per sonnes de Montréal, supposées être mêlées à l'organisation de narcotiques de Davis. Ces appois furent faits par Pincus Brescher, qui, dit-on, était l'agent new-yorkais de la bande.
Quant au troisième chef de la bande, Jack Pollakowitz, recherché par la police, actuellement, iil recevait des télégrammes chiffrés, à l'hôtel Grand, Paris.
Un employé local de la Bell Telephone déclara que le téléphone au White House Inn, de Lachine était enregistré sous le notice de Charles Feigenbaum, présentement incarcéré au pénitencier.
Durant 1930, a-t-il aussi été établit, un nommé Herman Finoberg. supposé représentant de Pollakowitz, toucha à Paris, des sommes se totalisant à environ $50,000.

French border zone to be expanded ready for new checks
The French border control area at the port of Dover will be extended to reduce the risk of queues at peak times when new EU rules come into force in November, BBC reports.
Under the new EU entry/exit system (EES), travellers entering from the UK and other non-EU countries will have to register their details at the EU border and provide biometric data.
Home Affairs Minister Seema Malhotra will introduce legislation in Parliament on Monday to authorise French border guards to work in the extended Dover port area. It will commit the Home Office to working with the French government, local authorities and businesses to streamline EU border controls at the port.
The change in legislation is part of preparations to minimise the risk of disruption to traffic and create more space for passenger processing.
The port plans to change the location of passport control for passengers arriving to board ferries from Dover’s eastern docks to a new border control area at the western docks. The port is also undertaking a major modernisation of its harbour infrastructure, including the construction of dedicated inspection facilities.
It will have 24 kiosks for intercity bus passengers to be screened, as well as agent and tablet-based passenger check-in in vehicles.
Ms. Malhotra said the checks would be a “major change” at the EU border, so the public should be prepared for queues at peak times when they are first introduced. She said Home Office ministers were working to minimise the risk of excessive queues as much as possible.

I am building so many hcs for Moon in my mind I love her so much enough so to think abt ancient politics girlie better consider herself lucky (I say, as if fictional politics becoming to long dead societies isn't my favorite shit to explore)
#rat rambles#rain posting#anyways I like the idea that moon was first built during a time when the original nation that lived in the area had been split into two#she was built near one of the borders in a location that many of the organizations that had been carrying out iterator constructions at the#time had been eyeing for a while but avoiding because of the high tensions between the two nations and how itd be hard to not use resources#from across the border from either side to keep her operational#eventually though one of them was given the thumbs up and started construction leading to a lot of conflict#for a long time it was mostly just diplomatic arguments through messages and meetings but eventually as moon neared completion the topic#of which nation she should be considered to belong to became a major point of contension and there was a minor war over it#eventually the nation that had initially backed her construction gave up due to some natural distaters#so by the time moon was activated she was considered an iterator of the other nation and as such she had quite a bit of adapting to do as#while she had both of the primary languages of the nations in her database pretty much all of her database and internal functions were#written by and with the laguage of the initial nation that backed her construction#eventually this stopped mattering as the two nations ended up merging and the newly founded government remerged the two languages#I say remerged as they were initially different branches of the primary laguage of the initial nation that had falled apart#although moon found it nice to be able to use many of the words she wasnt allowed to use before it was annoying to have to once again#adjust to speaking a different language primarily#although she definitely did find it funny watching the others struggle to use the new language organically as she had a head start in#understanding how a lot of the 'new' stuff was actually used in practical conversation as opposed to straight translation#many iterators that were around during the two nation era will still usually exclusively think in their local language and occasionally#speak in it fully in more casual settings if they get that luxury#now ofc language evolves over time so all iterators have had to adjust how they speak but generally speaking they still are most#comfortable with their original language as its what they were built to speak

Central Bank Initiative Accelerates Cross-Border Payments
Tumblr media
A groundbreaking initiative led by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and several central banks is set to revolutionise cross-border payments. Announced on July 1, the completion of phase three of ‘Project Nexus’ marks a significant milestone, introducing a comprehensive blueprint to streamline the connection of domestic instant payment systems (IPS). The project’s goal is to standardise the way IPS connects globally, allowing seamless and rapid cross-border transactions.
The innovative approach eliminates the need for IPS operators to build custom connections for each new country. Instead, a single connection to Nexus would enable an IPS to interact with all other countries in the network. This advancement promises to simplify and expedite international payments, making them faster and more cost-effective.

Brett Wilkins: New ICC Complaint Over Journalists Killed by Israel in Gaza
Reporters Without Borders says it has “reasonable grounds for thinking that some of these journalists were deliberately killed and that the others were the victims of deliberate IDF attacks against civilians.” Palestinian journalists stage a protest to draw attention to Palestinian press killed while covering the war in the Gaza Strip on February 26, 2024 in Rafah.  (Photo: Ahmad…
