Protests against Putin invasion of Ukraine exploded around the world and even reached Russia while people were taking pictures of the Russian president, who looked like Adolf Hitler.

Protesters called on Putin to end his war against Ukraine, which began in the early hours of Thursday morning.

In Russia, people scribbled “Adolf Putin” on a wall in the hometown of Russian President St. Petersburg.

One of the earliest known protests was in front of the Russian embassy in Washington DC around 1 a.m. Thursday, shortly after news broke that Russian forces had launched a massive attack on a neighbor.

People attend an anti-war protest in President Putin’s hometown of St. Petersburg as critics predict the invasion could lead to his downfall.

Video of the protest shows dozens of protesters in the US capital waving Ukrainian flags and chanting “Stop Russian aggression.”

Footage of protests in Times Square in New York later that day showed hundreds of protesters holding a larger version of the Ukrainian flag and waving it in unison. Others chanted “Putin should leave Ukraine.”

Even in Russia, anti-war people have expressed their feelings, likening Putin to Adolf Hitler.

In the United Kingdom, people painted “mass murder” with red graffiti on the side of the Russian visa center in Edinburgh.

There were many comparisons between Vladimir Putin and Adolf Hitler during protests around the world. Pictured: A photo of Russian President Putin is shown next to one of Adolf Hitler on the railings in front of the Russian Consulate in Edinburgh on February 25

That came, as the EU said today PutinThe actions of the Nazis were comparable to those of the Nazis during World War II.

“He talks about the denazification of Ukraine, but behaves like Nazis. So it’s all in his head, “EU spokesman Peter Stano told reporters in Brussels on Friday.

The spokesman was asked about Putin’s alleged military goals, which include his repeated allegations. RussiaRussia’s invasion was supposed to prevent “genocide” against Russian-speakers in Ukraine.

“He always says something about preventing genocide, which is complete nonsense because he is committing it or is about to commit it,” Stano said.

The EU said today that Russian President Vladimir Putin (pictured yesterday meeting with members of the Russian business community in the Moscow Kremlin) is seeking to destroy Ukraine and that his actions are comparable to those of the Nazis during World War II.

The rockets hit the Ukrainian capital on Friday as Russian forces pushed ahead, and authorities in Kiev said they were preparing for an attack aimed at overthrowing the government.

Sirens of air strikes blew over Kiev, a European city of three million people, and some residents sheltered in subway stations a day after Russian President Vladimir Putin launched an invasion that shocked the world.

Ukrainian authorities say a Russian plane was shot down and crashed into a building in Kiev during the night, setting it on fire and injuring eight people.

A senior Ukrainian official said Russian forces would enter areas just outside the capital later Friday and that Ukrainian troops were defending positions on four fronts, despite being superior.

The Biden administration spent three months trying to persuade China To say Vladimir Putin not to invade Ukraineonly to be told by Chinese officials that they were not convinced by their intelligence and that they did not think Moscow was about to launch an invasion.

In fact, after an exchange, American officials realized this Beijing he had shared the information with Moscow, telling the Russians that Washington was trying to sow discord.

Russian troops entered Ukraine on Wednesday night as Putin moved forward with his well-choreographed plan.

A day later, Biden was asked directly if he was working with China to try to isolate Russia.

“I am not ready to comment on this at the moment,” the president replied.

According to New York Timeshis administration’s contact with Beijing began in November after the president held a video summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.

The two leaders agreed to work together on health security, climate change and nuclear proliferation.

The leaders of Russia and China have met more than 30 times since 2013, and relations are believed to be at their best in decades as they line up to oppose NATO enlargement.

Russian armor is now advancing on Kiev from the north and east, with US intelligence saying the plan is to besiege the city, seize an airport and launch paratroopers who will then attack the capital. The goal would be to take over the government and force them to sign a peace treaty that would restore control of the country to Russia or to a Russian puppet.

Officials then discussed whether the build-up of Russian troops around Ukraine could be an issue the two sides could try to tackle together.

Some were skeptical, but others thought it was worth trying anything that could deter a Russian attack, an official said.

White House officials met with the Chinese ambassador days later, telling him that US intelligence showed that Russian troops – including armored units – were surrounding Ukraine.

The meeting lasted more than 90 minutes, according to the newspaper, and officials told the Chinese diplomat that the United States plans to impose severe sanctions on Russian companies and employees if Russia invades – much tougher than in 2014, when Moscow annexed Crimea.

Beijing’s trade ties with Russia would mean that its own economy will feel some effects, officials said.

And they said these ties would mean that China’s image in the world would also suffer if Putin continued to invade.

The New York Times reported that officials spoke with the ambassador at least three more times; Deputy Secretary of State Wendy Sherman also called, but Qin remained skeptical of intelligence and said Moscow had legitimate security concerns.

Secretary of State Anthony Blinken spoke with Chinese counterpart Wang Yi about the issue in late January and this week on Monday, the same day Putin announced he was sending troops to two breakaway enclaves in Ukraine.

“The Secretary stressed the need to preserve Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity,” the State Department said in a summary of the appeal.

In recent weeks, officials have also linked the date of Putin’s planned invasion to the Beijing Winter Olympics, warning that Russia could attack before the Games are over – hinting that China’s moment on the world sports scene could be tarnished.

By Wednesday night, it was clear that efforts had failed.

And subsequent statements by Beijing show that he was not impressed by the US warnings.

For example, he talked to Putin on the phone on Friday.

“It is necessary to abandon the mentality of the Cold War, to take into account and respect the legitimate concerns for the security of the countries and through negotiations to form a balanced, effective and sustainable mechanism [for ensuring] “European security,” Xi told Putin, according to China Central Television.

Robert Bederoff

As Russia waged war against his homeland, a truck driver, Robert Bederoff, placed his Ukrainian flag on the back of his Jeep Gladiator pickup in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, with plans to lead the caravan to Manhattan.

Bederoff told DailyMail.com on Thursday that he felt the need to express his pride and concern for relatives facing a military attack nearly 5,000 miles away.

“I have my flag in support of all the innocent people of Ukraine,” Bederoff said. “I’m currently watching YouTube as many videos as I can and I see rockets exploding everywhere. People are afraid for their lives, hiding in stations and bunkers, only with their clothes on their backs. It is very sad to know that there is nothing we can do to help. What else can we do but wait, pray and hope.

“I don’t know what’s going to happen, but we’re trying to do everything we can here to get as many people, friends and family out as possible, safely away from all the madness out there,” Bederoff said, waving the flag at the back of his truck. . “They don’t want to come here.” They want to stay in the homeland. But since it all started, maybe that will change their minds. We can help them with the arrangement of life and clothing. But after all, how can we get them from there to here?

“I talked to all of them today because I’m worried,” Kachur said. “My relatives in Ukraine say this is a war. And today I read that many people, young people there, go to the army.

“They want to protect their land. They will fight, not surrender. But the Russians have the second strongest army in the world. Ukraine cannot defend itself. There is a need for support from other countries. Putin will not stop. He will continue this invasion and go as far as he can.

He said President Biden should not only impose sanctions but also send more weapons to Ukraine.

Meanwhile, he is praying for peace talks.

“Civilians will die, military will die on both sides,” he said. “But this is not 100 years ago. It is the 21st century and we have a negotiating table. We need negotiations.

Roman Levkov, 55, lived in the Republic of Crimea until December, when he moved to the United States.

“I was there when he changed to Russia in 2014,” Levkov said. He said he considered himself a Russian.

“People in Crimea live in Ukraine, but they are actually Russians, pro-Russians,” he said. “They do not want to be Europe. Russia has money, and in Russia they do not steal as much as in Ukraine.

Mark Traiger, a Ukrainian American and former New York adviser who represented Coney Island, likened what was happening in Ukraine to World War II blitzkrieg.

“Many of the Ukrainian community here strongly condemns Russia’s aggression and any attempt by the Russian president to recreate the Soviet Union,” he told DailyMail.com. “There is a reason why NATO was born, and there is a reason why America and its allies who believe in democracy have come together to try to counter Soviet aggression, communism and tyranny.

“We need to go back to the original principles of NATO and really unite the free world and stand up for Ukraine, because this is not the end for Putin,” he said.

“We have seen this book before, where a tyrant will try to conquer neighboring lands in the name of unification, just as Hitler annexed and conquered parts of Czechoslovakia,” he said.

“It doesn’t end well when the world practices pacification. The United States must unite Europe, NATO and its allies and put adequate pressure on Russia to suspend the operation and defend Ukraine’s independence and sovereignty.

Artemis 1, first c NASAThe new generation of lunar missions will not start until at least the end of May and may appear in June, according to the space agency.

It must take off from the top of the massive space launch system (SLS) from the Kennedy Space Center in Floridabut was affected by a number of delays.

NASA said at a news conference Thursday that it could not launch until the agency had data from a full wet rehearsal, where the Orion capsule, which will one day take astronauts to lunar orbit, is lined up on the SLS on Pad 39B. .

The team then follows all the procedures and protocols related to the rocket launch, but without actually lifting it off the ground – to ensure that things go smoothly.

This is expected to happen on March 17, which means that the launch in April is no longer viable for the Artemis 1 mission, in which Orion without a crew will spend 26 days traveling to the moon, go into orbit and then return on the ground.

NASA now plans to launch in late May, but acknowledged that it may pass in June or even July, depending on rehearsal data and weather.

During the press conference, NASA also confirmed that there are no Russian components in the SLS and Orion systems.

Artemis 1, NASA’s first-generation lunar mission, will not launch until at least the end of May and may move in June, according to the space agency.

Artemis 1 was originally scheduled to launch in late 2021, but was due to be postponed, initially no earlier than April and now no earlier than May.

Part of this was to address issues found in SLS flight controllers, and others were due to delays caused by the Covid-19 pandemic.

If postponed to June or July, as suggested by NASA officials, this will be in line with the findings of an earlier government audit, which shows that Artemis I is likely to take place “in the summer of 2022.”

“We continue to evaluate the window in May, but we also realize that there is a lot of work ahead of us,” said Tom Whitmeier, NASA’s deputy administrator in charge of developing research systems.

This work includes analysis of data from the wet dress rehearsal, which will see the full package of Orion and SLS released for the launch of the Pad 39B at the Kennedy Space Center from the vehicle assembly building at 18:00 ET on March 17.

“During the launch site test, the engineers will be on duty at the Launch Control Center and other stations where they will work during the launch of Artemis I,” NASA explained in a blog post about the wet dress rehearsal blog.

It was scheduled to take off on top of the massive Space Launch System (SLS) from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, but was hit by a number of delays

“They will capture as much performance data as possible on all systems that are part of the SLS and the Orion spacecraft, as well as Kennedy’s terrestrial systems.”

NASA’S SPACE ROCKET EXCLUSION SYSTEM IS THE LARGEST MADE MADE WHEN IT WILL BE AND WILL ALLOW PEOPLE TO STUDY THE SOLAR SYSTEM

The Space Launch System, or SLS, is a launch vehicle that NASA hopes will bring its astronauts back to the moon and beyond.

The missile will have an initial lift configuration to be launched in the early 2020s, followed by improved “advanced lift capability” that can carry heavier payloads.

Possibility for initial launch of the space launch system

– First flight: mid – 2020

– Height: 311 feet (98 meters)

– Lifting: 70 metric tons

– Weight: 2.5 million kilograms (5.5 million pounds)

Space launch system Developed lifting capability

– First flight: Unknown

– Height: 384 feet (117 meters)

– Lifting: 130 metric tons

– Weight: 2.9 million kilograms (6.5 million pounds)

“The Guzhi transporter will transport more than £ 17 million of the 39B complex launch stack,” said NASA’s Mike Bolger, adding that the top of the umbilical tower will be more than 400 feet off the ground when moving on top of the chain conveyor. that will really be a sight.

After the wet rehearsal, the combination of Orion and SLS will stay on the Pad 39B for about a month before returning to the hanger for more analysis.

To start in May, it must be ready between May 7 and May 21, and if it is not ready by then, after all analyzes are completed, it will have to wait until June.

The window for June lasts from June 6 to June 16 and then again from June 29 to July 12, NASA officials confirmed.

Although this is the first mission for the massive Space Launch System rocket engine, it will be the second for the Orion capsule, which took part in a test flight in December 2014, going into space on the ULA Delta IV Heavy.

When Artemis 1 finally launches, it will usher in a new era of lunar exploration, which will eventually see the first woman and the first colored face to land on the moon.

The Artemis I mission will see the Orion spacecraft, SLS and Kennedy ground systems combine to launch Orion 280,000 miles around the Earth around the moon during a three-week mission.

This spaceship, built mostly by Lockheed Martin, will stay in space “longer than any astronaut ship has ever made without connecting to a space station and will return home faster and hotter. more than ever, ”NASA said. previously.

If Artemis I succeeds, then in 2024 NASA will send Artemis II on a voyage around the moon, this time with a human crew on board.

The Artemis II mission plans to send four astronauts in the first Orion capsule with a lunar crew for a maximum of 21 days.

Both missions are test flights to demonstrate the technology and capabilities of Orion, SLS and the Artemis mission before NASA puts human boots back on the moon.

The Artemis mission will be the first to land on the moon since NASA’s Apollo 17 in 1972. With the first woman and the first black man, it is expected to come to the surface at some point in 2025.

With approximately $ 1 billion in launch, the space agency wants to ensure that any problems or bugs are fixed before the disposable rocket leaves Earth.

This is expected to happen on March 17, which means that the launch in April is no longer viable for the Artemis 1 mission, which will see how an unmanned Orion will spend 26 days traveling to the moon, go into orbit and then return to Earth

It is housed in the vehicle assembly building at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and rises to a whopping 322 feet with the Orion module on top.

When launched, the rocket will produce 8.8 million pounds of thrust, more than the Saturn V rocket that took Apollo’s astronauts to the moon in the 1960s and 1970s.

Artemis missions face their own challenges, including the development of spacesuits and manpower systems that will bring the crew to the surface.

However, many of the delays are due to problems with SLS itself and legal problems caused by NASA’s failed lawsuit by Jeff Bezos over its decision to award the Human Lander contract solely to Blue Origin.

In November, NASA extended its target date for sending astronauts back to the moon from 2024 to 2025 at the earliest.

NASA will land the first woman and the first man of color on the moon in 2025 as part of the Artemis mission

Artemis is the twin sister of Apollo and goddess of the moon in Greek mythology.

NASA has chosen to embody its way back to the moon, which will see astronauts return to the lunar surface by 2025 – including the first woman and the next man.

Artemis 1, the former Exploration Mission-1, is the first in a series of increasingly complex missions that will allow humans to explore the moon and Mars.

Artemis 1 will be the first integrated flight test of NASA’s deep space exploration system: the Orion spacecraft, the Space Launch System (SLS) and ground-based systems at the Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral, Florida.

Artemis 1 will be an unmanned flight that will provide the basis for human exploration of deep space and will demonstrate our commitment and ability to extend human existence to the moon and beyond.

During this flight, the spacecraft will launch with the most powerful rocket in the world and will fly farther than any man-made spacecraft has ever flown.

It will travel 280,000 miles (450,600 km) from Earth, thousands of miles beyond the moon in about three weeks’ mission.

Artemis 1, the former Exploration Mission-1, is the first in a series of increasingly complex missions that will allow human exploration of the Moon and Mars. This chart explains the different stages of the mission

Orion will stay in space longer than any astronaut ship without docking with a space station and will return home faster and hotter than ever.

With this first research mission, NASA is leading the next steps of human exploration into deep space, where astronauts will build and begin testing systems near the moon needed for lunar surface missions and exploration to other destinations farther from Earth, including Mars.

It will take the crew on a different trajectory and test Orion’s critical systems with people on board.

Together, Orion, SLS and ground-based systems at Kennedy will be able to meet the most challenging needs of crew and cargo missions in deep space.

Ultimately, NASA seeks to establish a sustainable human presence on the moon by 2028 as a result of the Artemis mission.

The space agency hopes the colony will uncover new scientific discoveries, demonstrate new technological advances and lay the groundwork for private companies to build a lunar economy.

See who’s here! The moment two alpacas make a surprise visit to the care home (and even take the lift)

• The two alpacas paid a surprise visit to residents at a care home in Powys, Wales
• Arriving just in time for afternoon tea, the alpacas took the elevator to the top floor
• Residents greeted the woolen benefactors with many caresses and pats

The alpacas, named Alex and Bethany, were brought home to offer the residents “pet therapy” – and in return for the fluffy Andean animals, they enjoyed being stroked and patted by their gray audience.

They even took the elevator to visit the occupants of their own rooms.

Coordinator of the activities Izzy Titley said: “I am leaving The Oaks in a few weeks to travel the world and I wanted to take a few last tricks out of my hat to surprise the residents.

“I told them we just had our usual Friday afternoon bingo!”

Daniel Hart, 42, a registered manager at the nursing home, said the visit was inspired by the desire of several residents to visit the zoo.

Mr Hart said: “We thought it would be more fun to bring them the animals.

“The Alpacas were a big hit and it was great to see everyone’s faces when they arrived.”

Alec Baldwin shared a mysterious tweet about Buddhism the same day that Halina Hutchins’ widower accused the actor of “sounding like a victim” of the fatal shooting on Rust’s set.

Matt Hutchins targeted 63-year-old Alec Baldwin in an interview with TODAY on Thursday, claiming the actor shifted the blame for the tragic shooting in October on the set of his wife Halina, pretending to sound like a victim. although he was the one to pull the trigger.

“He said he was essentially grieving, but not guilty. “It almost sounds like he’s the victim,” Hutchins said.

“And when I hear him blame Halina for the interview and shift the responsibility to others and see him cry about it, I just feel: do we really have to feel bad for you, Mr. Baldwin?”

Hours after the interview aired, Baldwin posted a quote on Twitter about the truth about the Buddhist religion.

“In Buddhism, truth goes beyond simply telling lies,” he wrote.

“It simply came to our notice then. But it also means using speech for the benefit of others, not using it for the benefit of ourselves.

Hours after the broadcast, Baldwin seemed to respond to Hutchins by posting a quote on Twitter about the truth in the Buddhist religion.

Alec Baldwin is expected to return to his apartment in New York on Thursday, February 24, after Hutchins’ interview was broadcast on the TODAY Show

Halina Hutchins’ widower, Matt Hutchins, a Harvard-educated lawyer, said TODAY that he believes most of the blame for his wife’s death lies with Baldwin

On October 21, cameraman Halina Hutchins, 42, (pictured) was shot and killed on the set of a western Rust

On October 21, the 42-year-old Hutchins died when a prop used in the movie Rust was shot, shooting Hutchins in the chest.

Baldwin was told the gun he was waving was “cold” – unloaded – and on December 3, he told ABC News that he did not feel guilty about her death because he did not believe he was responsible.

“Looking at him, I just felt so angry,” Matt Hutchins, Halina’s 16-year-old husband, said Thursday.

“I was so angry when I saw him talk about her death so publicly in such detail, and then not take any responsibility after he had just described her murder.”

Matt Hutchins, a Harvard-based lawyer, said TODAY that he believes most of the blame lies with Baldwin.

In a December interview, Baldwin said: “Someone is responsible for what happened and I can’t say who it is, but it’s not me.”

Matt Hutchins said Thursday: “The idea that the man holding the gun and making him fire is not responsible to me is absurd.

“But gun safety was not the only problem with this set.” There were a number of industry standards that were not practiced and there are many responsible parties, “he added.

Halina Hutchins is shown on set with Alec Baldwin, Josh Hopkins (left), Travis Fimel (second right) and Jenson Ackles (right).

Baldwin spoke on the phone in the parking lot in front of the Santa Fe County Sheriff’s Office in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on Oct. 21 after being questioned about the shooting.

The widower, who has a nine-year-old son named Andros with his late wife, filed a lawsuit for Baldwin’s wrongful death on February 15.

The lawsuit, which alleges that at least 15 safety practices were ignored on set, argues that the wider culture of cost-cutting ultimately led to Halina’s death.

– The trial [is] trying to hold the people responsible for Halina’s death accountable, which was completely preventable, “said Matt Hutchins.

“In the end, you see, justice will not bring Halina back, but maybe the memory of her can help protect people and prevent something like that.”

Hutchins’ Instagram post of October 19, 2021 shows cast members and staff, including Baldwin along with Hutchins herself and gunman Gutierrez Reed (surrounded from left to right) on the Rust set in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Hutchins and Halina (pictured together) had a whirlwind novel that he described as “magical” and love at first sight. They were married for 16 years

Baldwin’s lawyer said all allegations that the actor was reckless were “completely untrue.”

Hutchins met Baldwin in New Mexico shortly after the fatal shooting.

“Her husband is coming to town, her husband Matthew,” Baldwin said in a December interview with ABC.

“And I met him and their son. He was as kind as you could be. ‘

When asked what he said, Baldwin said, “I didn’t know what to say. He hugged me and said, “I guess you and I are going to go through this together.” And I thought, “Well, not as much as you are.”

Brian Panish, representing Matt Hutchins, said the Oscar-nominated actor and other defendants were “responsible for the safety of the set and whose reckless behavior in cutting costs led to the senseless and tragic death of Halina Hutchins.”

The suit also mentions the gunsmith’s name, Hannah Gutierrez-Reid, 24, who said she loaded the old Colt .45 revolver with what she thought were counterfeit cartridges.

Gutierrez-Reid pointed out crew member Seth Kenny, who was delivering ammunition to the set in his own suit, submitted in January.

Gutierrez-Reid gave the gun to Dave Halls, the film’s assistant director, who is also listed in the Hutchins case.

Halls told Baldwin that the gun was “cold.”

Gutierrez-Reid, in his costume, described Rust’s set as “a hasty and chaotic atmosphere (which created the perfect storm for a safety incident”).

NBC News reported that “numerous previous misfires” from the same gun that killed Hutchins forced many crew members to leave the set of the film hours before the incident.

Lane Lupper, who was the film’s first A-camera assistant, said he left the day before the fatal shooting because employees were overwhelmed, COVID’s safety was not being properly enforced and the safety of the weapon was poor.

“I think with Rust it was the perfect storm of the gunsmith, the assistant director, the culture that was on the set, the rush. That was all, “he told Good Morning America about the events that led to the fatal shooting.

“It was not just one person. Everything had to fall into place for this one in a trillion to happen.

In his resignation letter, Luper said there were two accidental shots fired on the set and an accidental explosion with sound effects that erupted around the crew.

“There was no explanation of what to expect from these shots. When one of the producers is asked, we usually get the same answers that we don’t have enough time to finish the day if we’re rehearsing, or that “it’s a 21-day shoot,” Lupper wrote in the letter.

He added that the crew was exhausted from the long trips from the set to their apartment, which are more than two hours away.

“In my 10 years as a camera assistant, I’ve never worked on a show that cares so little about the safety of my crew,” Luper said.

In a statement to Sky News, a spokesman for the producers responded to his allegations, saying: “Mr Luper’s allegations about budget and safety are clearly untrue, which is not surprising given that his job was to be an operator. on camera, and he had absolutely nothing to do with either knowledge of safety protocols or budgets.

“As we continue to cooperate with all investigations, we are limited in what we can say,” he said.

“However, safety is always the number one priority.”

Baldwin insisted he was unaware of the problems on set.

He was rehearsing a scene in which he pulled out his pistol, and in an interview with ABC on December 2, he said he never pulled the trigger, but the pistol still fired.

Matt Hutchins also said the family was “pursuing justice in every way possible”, which includes a civil lawsuit for responsibility for Halina’s “completely preventable” death.

But conflict in Ukraine as well as Washington focused on could potentially disrupt plans and slow down its consideration. In addition, one Democrat, Senator Ben Ray Lujan of New Mexico, had a stroke was absent last month. Democrats will want all of their members on hand for the final vote in case they are needed.

After being briefed on Friday about the nomination, Democrats and their liberal allies presented Judge Jackson, a federal judge since 2013, as a flawless candidate who would provide valuable experience as a former public defender. She will make sure “the Supreme Court reflects the nation as a whole,” said New York Senator Chuck Schumer, Majority Leader.

“To be the first to make history in our country, you have to have an exceptional life story,” said Senator Richard J. Durbin, Democrat of Illinois, who, as chairman of the Judiciary Committee, will preside over pending confirmation hearings. in late March. “Judge Jackson’s accomplishments are well known to the Senate Judiciary Committee as we confirmed her to the D.C. less than a year ago with bipartisan support.”

Other Democrats said the fact that Judge Jackson was recently questioned by Republicans on the Judiciary Committee to secure her seat on the US Court of Appeals is a significant advantage.

“She gave as much as she got, very respectfully and gracefully,” said Senator Richard Blumenthal, a Connecticut Democrat and commissioner. “She was just a workshop.”

While Republican lawmakers largely held the fire on Friday, party activists came out to denounce Justice Jackson within hours of her election. The Republican National Committee called her a “radical left activist” and released a document that anticipated the direction of the party’s attack, drawing attention to her decision to block an element of President Donald J. Trump’s restrictive immigration policy, her work as an attorney in a case brought by groups on advocacy for abortion rights, and her membership in the Cosmos Club, a private institution it called “the club of the Washington elite.”

The Senate could have confirmed Mr. Biden’s nomination to the Supreme Court without a single Republican vote, but he and his party would like to avoid that if possible — and Justice Jackson has enjoyed some Republican support in the past. Even before a judge was chosen, the President and Mr. Durbin reached out to Republicans they saw as potentially ready to support Biden’s candidacy, including Senators Susan Collins of Maine and Mitt Romney of Utah.

It is alleged that a Nazi supporter began building a homemade submachine gun in his garage to fulfill his “mission” to fight a religious war against Jews and other right-wing terrorists, the court said.

Birmingham The royal court heard Ben Stiles publish in an online group called “#Kill All the Jews” and described the Holocaust to friends as a “holohoax”, adding: “I hope the Holocaust is real next time.”

Prosecutors say the 24-year-old, who has a B-tec in engineering from Warwickshire College, told a friend he was “just getting as strong as possible for the war” and sent a picture on the lock screen of his phone, which has images of swastikas on it.

Referring to the locked screen, the accused claims that he told his friend: “Waking up and seeing this locked screen to start my day is much more important than some non-face clapper from the NHS who gave me shouts about the history of primary school. “

The court heard reports that were also recovered from Stiles in 2019 after the terrorist attack in Christchurch, New Zealand, which said: “I just returned from New Zealand – it made me a super racist. Then it happened and I had a good day.

Opening the case against Stiles on Friday, Attorney Matthew Brook said, “When you all went to court and looked at the defendant, you may have thought, ‘I wonder what he’s being tried for?’

“You were told then that this was a process of terrorism.

“I don’t know, but I suspect that may have surprised you, because most of us unconsciously think in stereotypes, and I suspect that the defendant, Ben Stiles, does not look like you expected him to look like a terrorist.

“In all lawsuits, the jury is asked to set aside stereotypes and decide the case based on the evidence it hears. This case is not completely different.

Mr Brook said a police search of the defendant’s garage at Leamington Spa found the bottom and top of a homemade submachine gun, as well as store-bought blanks along with manuals that “showed the reader how to turn blank bullets into working ones.” ammunition. “

The prosecutor said officers also found a Nazi fitness guide and a book entitled “The SS Family Every Year – SS Family Holidays.”

Mr Brook continued: “In this case, the evidence will prove that defendant Ben Stiles fully believes in far-right ideology.

“This is the distorted ideology of the Nazis and the superiority of white.

“Evidence will show that the defendant has collected manuals on an encrypted USB device with instructions on how to make weapons and how to make ammunition.

“When police searched his home on February 15 last year, he found that he had strictly and carefully followed the instructions in one of these manuals and was about to make a homemade submachine gun.

– He had also started producing ammunition.

“He had also written a manifesto that spoke of what he said was ‘working to fulfill my mission’ and set out his views on participating in a religious war against Jews and other targets of far-right terrorists.

“The evidence will show, it will prove that the defendant was preparing to commit a terrorist act.”

Styles of Plymouth Place, Leamington Spa, denies plotting a terrorist attack.

The process continues.
