Man who searched for Biden's home had 'execute' on checklist, court says
Alexander Hillel Treisman, who was indicted last month, traveled near Joe Biden’s home and purchased an AR-15
A North Carolina man searched earlier this year for Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden’s home online, traveled near the home and wrote a checklist that ended with the word “execute,” according to federal court documents.
The information was contained in documents related to a detention hearing for Alexander Hillel Treisman, who was indicted last month on child abuse imagery charges, held in US district court in Durham. A magistrate, in an order signed 8 October, ordered Treisman to remain in custody.
Fukushima reactor water could damage human DNA if released, says Greenpeace
Environmental organisation says ‘dangerous’ levels of carbon-14 exist in water that could soon be released into Pacific ocean
Contaminated water that will reportedly be released into the sea from the wrecked Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant contains a radioactive substance that has the potential to damage human DNA, a Greenpeace investigation has said.
The environmental group claims the 1.23m tonnes of water stored in more than 1,000 tanks at the plant contains “dangerous” levels of the radioactive isotope carbon-14, in addition to quantities of tritium that have already been wide spread.
Two-thirds of France in lockdown as coronavirus curfews extended
‘A second wave of the coronavirus epidemic is now under way in France and Europe. The situation is very serious,’ prime minister warns
Samuel Osborne@SamuelOsborne93
Around two-thirds of France’s population has been placed under lockdown as the second wave of the coronavirus pandemic hits Europe.
France’s prime minister, Jean Castex, announced last week that a curfew imposed on Paris and eight other cities would be extended to 38 more departments.
It confines 46 million of the country’s 67 million people to their homes from 9pm to 6am.
Security forces are called ‘shoot and kill’
Law’s disorder in Nigeria
Nigeria’s police and army remain unreformed and often barely under official local or national control. Their atrocities, frequently carried out in remote locations and overlooked, match those of the jihadist groups they fight.
by Marc-Antoine Pérouse de Montclos
The grand narrative of the war on terror usually focuses on atrocities committed by jihadist groups while ignoring those perpetrated by government forces fighting them. Political decision-makers and media comment on the crimes of Boko Haram (1) in the Nigerian state of Borno, bordering Lake Chad: beheading soldiers, executing aid workers, suicide bombing, kidnapping girls. They say less about the crimes of those supposed to be fighting terrorism: torturing prisoners, raping girls in refugee camps, murdering and bombing civilians in Baga (April 2013) or Rann (January 2017).

The end of democracy? If Trump loses, Trumpism still wins
He couldn't be trusted with a microphone button, yet Donald Trump is asking to be trusted again with the nuclear button. In the last presidential election campaign, he said: "I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn't lose any voters. It's like, incredible." Four years on we can see something even more incredible happening.
He didn't stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot anybody. He is, however, presiding over a pandemic that so far has killed 228,000 of his citizens. He has lost some voters in the course of four years. He won 46 per cent of the popular vote in 2016 and today has about 43 per cent on the average of the polls.
UN says Libya sides reach ‘permanent ceasefire’ deal

Libya’s warring sides signed an agreement for “a permanent ceasefire in all areas of Libya”, the UN Libya mission said on Friday, raising hopes the long-running conflict may finally reach a lasting peace.
Scepticism in some quarters was raised, however, as previous truce deals over the years have failed to end the fighting.
