Officers arrested eight trafficking suspects during raids across the Spanish coasts and other parts of the country. Police also seized six submarine drones in the raids in Cadiz, Malaga and Barcelona announced by officials on July 4. In one run across the Straits of Gibraltar, the subs would have been capable of smuggling more than 1,000 kilos (2,200 pounds) of cocaine from North Africa to Europe. The gang could also have been acting as tech providers for other crime groups around the world, said police....

The Lyons Police Department responded to a wellness check after a water utility reported that water was not being used at the two-story home. Police found a barricaded backdoor at the house, which was full of items and waste, including numerous cats and dogs.

Photos of the document, which is entitled “Leading Practices: Unpacking Privilege,” began circulating on social media in recent days. Along with a definition for “societal privilege,” there is one for “white privilege.” The latter is defined as “[s]ocietal privileges that benefit white people beyond what is commonly experienced by people of colour under the same social, political, and economic circumstances.” A spokesperson for the Home Depot in the U.S. told Newsweek the material in question came from the company’s Canadian division and “wasn’t created or approved by our corporate diversity, equity and inclusion department....

In a way, President Biden gestured towards this in his inaugural speech on January 20, when he spoke of his mission “to restore the soul and secure the future of America,” a process that demands unity between everyday Americans. “We can see each other not as adversaries but as neighbors,” he said. “We can treat each other with dignity and respect. We can join forces, stop the shouting and lower the temperature....

Barr’s Monday resignation goes into effect on December 23 and comes after a series of confrontations between the president and the attorney general. In recent months, Trump has criticized Barr for not indicting former Vice President Joe Biden and for saying that no widespread election fraud has been found. Trump also said the attorney general cost him the election by not correcting Biden’s debate comment that there was no investigation of his son Hunter Biden....

Reports from anonymous sources said Linick was looking into allegations that Pompeo had asked a State Department employee to perform tasks for Pompeo such as walking his dog, retrieving his dry cleaning and making dinner reservations for Pompeo and his wife. Trump said he was unaware of any investigation into the allegations, but that he didn’t “think it sounds like that important.” “I’d rather have him on the phone with some world leader than have him wash dishes because maybe his wife isn’t there or his kids aren’t there, you know,” Trump said at the White House on Monday....

His pre-recorded address—filmed on a Jerusalem rooftop during sunset on Monday—lauded President Donald Trump’s foreign policy record and claimed the administration had made Americans safer and the U.S. stronger. As is expected of a convention speech, Pompeo glossed over some of the less successful and controversial aspects of the president’s foreign policy record. Since taking the post in 2018, Pompeo has become one of the most vocal and influential Trump loyalists, often criticized by opponents for his stubborn defense of the president....

The raccoon’s foot became lodged in an illegal trap, the Idaho Humane Society said in a Facebook post. The animal forced to drag the trap around with it, causing severe injuries.

The animal was brought to the Idaho Humane Society’s shelter where it received antibiotics and cleaning....

“Portland rioters are using electric saws to cut through the courthouse barrier,” the person tweeted. “Federal agents have yet to respond. This is the kind of agitation that brings them back out each time they retreat inside.” Andy Ngo tweeted to his 512,000 followers footage of protesters apparently throwing fireworks at the courthouse, writing: “Unable to break down the barrier, rioters throw explosive fireworks at the Portland federal courthouse.”...

The hosts dominated the first 45 minutes as Otavio and Diogo Jota deservedly gave them a 2-0 lead at the break with 2016 European champions seemingly having one foot in the final. However, their struggles to find a third goal after the restart left the door open for Turkey, and Cengiz Under slipped in Burak Yilmaz to fire the visitors back into the contest. But despite that swing in momentum for Turkey, Yilmaz’s 86th minute missed spot kick ultimately ended their chances as substitute Rafael Leao wrapped it up in added time....

BY ZULHILMI ZAINAL Follow on Twitter The results of Malaysia Super League (MSL) matchday ten, which saw the top two sides held to draws in their respective matches, meant that the coming round; the first round of the Ramadan fasting month, will be more open in terms of standings movements.

It’s no wonder Delhi–and all of India– suffers a power crisis. The country is dogged by electricity shortages, which result from a bizarre mix of brazen theft, a politicized regulatory system and lingering statism. Last year 21 percent of all the electricity generated in India was stolen, according to India’s Central Electricity Authority. Two weeks ago the capital and six surrounding Indian states–home to 230 million people–went without power for up to 16 hours after the overloaded northern grid collapsed catastrophically....
