Another one of those cases of mental and emotional torture is going to be recorded in the red book where atrocities meted by Israeli forces doesn’t seem to come to an end.

Rayan Suleiman had no underlying conditions as a child and was found shrieking in fear, according to his family, who has now blamed the Israeli forces of having killed their son. The US State Department has called for a full-fledged investigation into the death of the young boy. The soldiers apparently had come into their house to arrest his older brother.

But the new roles are a lot for the new King Charles III as he took on the reigns from the departed Queen and also had his love on his side.

From runways that are keeping a one-minute silence, to shows that are being designed to respect the departed Queen; there is a lot being done... It started with the London Fashion Week finding itself on crossroads as the death of the last monarch and 'Queen Of Hearts' was announced.  Shortly after the announcement, Burberry, the biggest name at the event and the holder of a royal warrant, cancelled its show, followed shortly after by Raf Simons. As a co-designer of Prada, and ex-Dior creative director, his presence had been something of a coup for the London event, and his departure coming so soon after Burberry suddenly threw the entire week into doubt. Like the old saying goes' the show must go on' and so it did, but with a lot of changes being made around the day the Queen had to be buried. A ll events booked for the day of the funeral were hurriedly rescheduled, parties were cancelled, and guests were politely asked to refrain from publishing street-sty...

A gang is at work that picks on children left unassisted in parks or compounds and is also offering money to those needy and destitute who are unable to take care of their kids. Iranian police provide no data about babies being bought and sold nor about the criminal groups involved. Iran has little legislation to prevent the trafficking of children. According to media sources, this is the second largest Iranian children trafficking racquet that has been busted since May 2020.
