Soud zastavil stíhání liberecké soudkyně, která ve zmatku školácky chybovala

Liberecká soudkyně Lenka Zhoufová udělala školáckou chybu, když zapomněla v jednom ze svých případů rozhodnout o prodloužení vazby pro trestaného člověka. V panice druhý den vyhotovila rozhodnutí s datem z předchozího dne. Po snížení platu čelila ještě trestnímu stíhání, to ale soud ve středu zastavil, protože nelze trestat vícekrát za stejný prohřešek.

Kiska chce vyhrát parlamentní volby. Šance mu dávají, i když stranu teprve zakládá

Do parlamentních voleb, které se budou konat na Slovensku příští rok, by mohl zasáhnout i současný prezident Andrej Kiska. Ten ve středu publikoval video, v němž potvrdil, že zakládá stranu, o čemž již dříve psala média. I když o jejím směřování neřekl Kiska takřka nic konkrétního, šance zřejmě má, jak napovídá nedávný průzkum agentury AKO.

Philippine Supreme Court Orders Release of Evidence From Duterte’s Drug War

(MANILA, Philippines) — The Philippine Supreme Court on Tuesday ordered the release of police documents on thousands of killings of suspects in the president’s anti-drug crackdown, in a ruling that human rights groups said could shed light on allegations of extrajudicial killings.

Supreme Court spokesman Brian Keith Hosaka said the court ordered the government solicitor-general to provide the police reports to two rights groups which had sought them. The 15-member court, whose justices are meeting in northern Baguio city, has yet to rule on a separate petition to declare President Rodrigo Duterte’s anti-drug campaign unconstitutional.

Solicitor-General Jose Calida had earlier agreed to release the voluminous police documents to the court but rejected the requests of the two groups, the Free Legal Assistance Group and the Center for International Law, arguing that such a move would undermine law enforcement and national security.

The two groups welcomed the court order.

Malaysia Ex-Prime Minister Najib Razak Faces First Corruption Trial Over the 1MDB Scandal

(KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia) — Former Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak appeared in court Wednesday for the start of his corruption trial, exactly 10 years after he was first elected to office only to suffer a spectacular defeat last year on allegations he pilfered millions of dollars from a state investment fund.

The trial was originally due to start in February but was delayed by procedural matters. There is a chance it may be pushed back again Wednesday as Najib’s lawyers had earlier this week applied to review the top court’s ruling for the trial to begin despite several pending appeals.

Ten years ago this Wednesday, Najib became Malaysia’s sixth prime minister but anger over the 1MDB investment fund scandal led to his electoral loss last May. U.S. investigators say more than $4.5 billion was stolen from 1MDB by associates of Najib between 2009 and 2014. They say the ill-gotten gains were laundered through layers of bank accounts in the U.S. and other countries to finance Hollywoo..

The Red Cross Wants to Send Hundreds of Children of Islamic State Fighters Home

The head of the International Committee for the Red Cross (ICRC) said Tuesday that hundreds of children of Islamic State fighters should be reunited with their families and repatriated from the caliphate’s last holdout to their countries of origin, Agence France-Presse reports.

The children are among some 73,000 people currently housed in the Al-Hol refugee camp after U.S.-backed forces cleared out the last ISIS stronghold in Syria last month. The United Nations estimates that 92% of those displaced into the camp are women and children.

There are “certainly hundreds, maybe more” children without their parents at the camp, according to Peter Maurer, president of the ICRC.

“Our priority is to proactively look to bring kids back to their country of origin where there are hopefully still family if they are unaccompanied,” Maurer said, according to AFP.

After the identities of children are verified, the ICRC said it will notify governments in the children’s country of origin and try to ..

CNN a Prima? Šokovalo mě to, CNN rychle zjistí, co je na Primě za lidi, říká Tomáš Etzler

Myslel jsem si, že někdo udělal omyl, CNN netuší, co Prima je a nejsem si jistý, že ví, do čeho leze.
CNN bude stavět kanál na Primě od píky, bavíme se o milionech dolarů, které televize za značku CNN platí, říká Tomáš Etzler, spolupracovník CNN.
Dodává, že jestli Prima uplatní standardy CNN, jako je objektivita, nestrannost a spolehlivost, tak bude mít ČT24 velice seriózního konkurenta.

Zkáza internetu, pravda o Pirátech a Člověku v tísni: Zasvěcený technický expert svědčí

ROZHOVOR „Ale nepovídejte? Kvóty jsou přeci dávno mrtvé, jak nás ujišťovali jejich někdejší obhájci,“ šokoval dotaz na soudní proces s Českou republikou pro nedodržení kvót informatika Pavla Cimbála. Ten v rozhovoru přináší velmi detailní pohled na změny internetu, které před několika dny prošly hlasováním v Evropském parlamentu. „Sociální sítě a mainstreamové portály budou cenzurovat stejně jako dnes. A když se někde objeví nedostatečně progresivní názor, bude různými elfy nahlášen a jeho pisatel zablokován,“ říká Cimbál. A na závěr přidává něco k osobě Karla Strachoty, jehož parodická koláž na adresu Václavů Klausů se u části publika nesetkala s pochopením.

V Praze začíná plošná deratizace za miliony korun

V Praze ve středu začíná celoplošná deratizace. Každoroční tažení proti potkanům potrvá do konce října a hlavní město za něj zaplatí 3,7 milionu korun. Podle odhadů deratizátorů Pražských vodovodů a kanalizací žije v Praze několik milionů těchto hlodavců. Na jednoho obyvatele hlavního města připadají zhruba čtyři až pět potkanů.

Netanyahu Is Running for Re-Election as ‘Mr Security.’ But His Strategy in Gaza Might Be His Achilles Heel

The pastoral village of Mishmeret in central Israel, with a population around 1,000, seems an unlikely warzone. Birdsong is louder than traffic, and the cyprus-lined streets mostly lead to farmhouses growing tomatoes, habanero peppers, and flowers for export overseas. But on March 28, British-Israeli Robert Wolf ducked under a blue tarp cordoning off the remains of his family home, a pile of collapsed wood and broken concrete, and surveyed the damage wrought by a rocket that crashed through his roof March 25, some 75 miles from where it was fired in southern Gaza.

“This is a quiet place. Normally you don’t hear of anything happening here,” Wolf, 60, tells TIME after the attack. But three days ago “our whole lives changed.” Had his son not fallen asleep on the couch with the window open enabling him to hear an early morning warning siren, Wolf says, he would have lost not only his home but the six members of his family who along with him were injured in the blast.

Theresa May Says Britain Will Seek Second Brexit Delay

(LONDON) — With Britain racing toward a chaotic exit from the European Union within days, Prime Minister Theresa May veered away from the cliff-edge Tuesday, saying she would seek a further delay to Brexit as U.K. politicians sought a compromise solution to the crisis.

May made the announcement after the EU’s chief negotiator warned that a disruptive and costly Brexit was likely unless Britain broke the impasse that has paralyzed the government and Parliament.

After failing repeatedly to win Parliament’s backing for her Brexit blueprint, May said the country needed “national unity to deliver the national interest.”

Following the defeat of the government’s plan and a range of lawmaker-written alternatives, May said Britain would need a further delay to its EU departure, currently scheduled for April 12. She offered to hold talks with opposition Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn in an attempt to find a compromise solution.

“This debate, this division, cannot drag on much longer,” May..
