White House says Trump spoke to Libyan commander Haftar on Monday
Both the United States and Russia said on Thursday they could not support a U.N. Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in Libya at this time.
Haftar was among officers who helped Gaddafi rise to power in 1969 but fell out with him during Libya’s war with Chad in the 1980s. Haftar was taken prisoner by the Chadians and had to be rescued by the CIA after having worked from Chad to overthrow Gaddafi.
He lived for around 20 years in the U.S. state of Virginia before returning home in 2011 to join other rebels in the uprising that ousted Gaddafi.
Boliviens Regierung verabschiedet neues Religionsgesetz
Im Zuge der neuen bolivarischen Verfassung von 2009 hat sich das Land von einem konfessionellen hin zu einem laizistischen Staat gewandelt. Auch dem soll das neue Gesetz nun vollumfänglich Rechnung tragen.
Ostermarschierer: Unermüdlich für den Frieden
Der Pastor im Ruhestand ist von Anfang an bei den Ostermärschen dabei und blickt auf mehr als sechs Jahrzehnte des Protests zurück. Zu seiner Motivation angesichts einer dennoch weitergehenden Aufrüstung sagt er im Interview mit NDR.de: „Ich bin in der Minderheit, ich bewirke wenig oder vielleicht sogar gar nichts. Aber ich war zumindest auf der Seite derjenigen, die nicht für weitere Zerstörung, für weiteres Elend gesorgt haben.“
Anwaltskammerchef: „Sicherungshaft würde das Rechtsgefüge zerstören“
STANDARD: Wo geht die Regierung über die Grenzen der Rechtsstaatlichkeit hinaus?
Enzinger: Etwa bei der geplanten Sicherheitsverwahrung beziehungsweise Sicherungshaft. Unsere Verfassung lässt so etwas mit Sicherheit nicht zu. Und nicht alles, was europarechtlich möglich wäre, muss man in Österreich per Verfassungsänderung umsetzen.
US-Vorwürfe gegen Assange offenbar schwerer als bekannt
Das Schreiben des US-Justizministeriums vom 7. März 2018 richtete sich an den ehemaligen WikiLeaks-Aktivisten Daniel Domscheit-Berg aus Deutschland, den die Staatsanwälte als Zeugen vernehmen wollten. Es wurde einen Tag nach der inzwischen veröffentlichten Anklage gegen Assange aufgesetzt. Der Vorwurf des „unerlaubten Erhalts und der Verbreitung geheimer Informationen“ ermöglicht nicht nur ein deutlich höheres Strafmaß bis hin zur Todesstrafe – er richtet sich potenziell auch gegen Medienorganisationen …

Bernie Sanders leads Joe Biden in Emerson national poll of 2020 contenders
(16.4.2019)
Sen. Bernie Sanders finished ahead of Joe Biden in the first major national poll of the year that did not find the former vice president leading the pack of potential 2020 Democratic presidential candidates.
When asked whom they would support from a list of 20 candidates – including „someone else“ – 29% named Sanders, and 24% named Biden in an Emerson College poll released Monday.
There is, needless to say, no hint or suggestion in the Mueller Report that Paul Manafort visited Julian Assange ever in his life, let alone 3 times in the Ecuadorian Embassy during the election. It would obviously be there if it happened. How can the @guardian not retract this??
Donald Trump and the Mueller report: What do we know and what questions remain?
US attorney general William Barr said there was “no collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian government hackers”.
Mr Trump told reporters: „This should never happen to another president again.“

A statement from the party leaders on the murder of Lyra McKee:
„We are united in rejecting those responsible for this heinous crime.
„They have no support in the community, must be brought to justice and should disband immediately.
„We reiterate our support for the PSNI, who while carrying out their duties were also the target of last night’s attack. We call on anyone with any information to bring that forward to the police and assist their inquiries.
„This is a time for calm heads.”

Ah, the clueless masochism that is the modern Labour Party

Le Pen drops ‘Frexit’ in favour of an ‘EU of the far-right’
Marine Le Pen has asserted that neither she nor her party want France‘s withdrawal from the eurozone.
Speaking at a gathering of her supporters on Saturday ahead of the European elections, the National Rally (RN) leader said that her platform would now “look to change the EU from within”.
It’s not anti-Irish to criticize Leo Varadkar
I don’t need an academic study to tell me Brexit threatens all that. As someone who physically embodies the binding blood and cultural ties between Britain and Ireland, I’m regularly attacked in the Irish media for having voted to leave.
Londonderry: Frau bei Ausschreitungen in Nordirland erschossen
Zu den Hintergründen machten die Behörden bisher keine Angaben. Der geplante EU-Austritt Großbritanniens schürte zuletzt Sorgen, dass der Konflikt zwischen pro-irischen und pro-britischen Gruppen in der britischen Provinz wieder aufflammen könnte.
I was standing beside this young woman when she fell beside a police Land Rover tonight in Creggan #Derry. I called an ambulance for her but police put her in the back of their vehicle and rushed her to hospital where she died. Just 29 years old. Sick to my stomach tonight

Force Research Unit
The Force Research Unit was a top secret unit of the British Army which was engaged in running informers and has been alleged to be involved in a number of assassinations in Ireland. It has reportedly now been renamed the Joint Support Group and seems to be associated with the Special Reconnaissance Regiment created in 2005.
Tributes to Reverend Robert John Bradford
(16. November 1981)
The Prime Minister (Mrs. Margaret Thatcher)
The right hon. Member for Down, South (Mr. Powell) has spoken for the whole House and for the United Kingdom in expressing our horror and revulsion at the assassination of his hon. Friend, who was killed because he was a Member of this honourable House.
Robert Bradford was well known as a conscientious and devoted constituency Member, yet he was murdered on Saturday morning when he was helping his constituents—helping them so that he could better serve them here in the Parliament of the United Kingdom.
We shall pursue with the utmost vigour those who committed this wicked crime and we shall persevere in our duty to rid our country of the evil of terrorism.

MP could have been saved: MP ‚sacrificed to protect agents within ranks of the provisionals‘
(15.4.2007)
It was another horrific day in a blood-spattered year in which 117 people lost their lives in the Troubles – 1981, the year of the hunger strikes.
Today, however, 26 years later, Sunday Life can reveal that neither Rev Bradford nor Mr Campbell should have died in the IRA attack – RUC Special Branch and Army Intelligence had prior knowledge of the incident an incredible THREE DAYS beforehand.
They told neither the Rev Bradford, nor his police protection officer.
Three years ago, a former officer with the shadowy Army intelligence-gathering outfit the Force Research Unit (FRU) contacted me with information on several murders which took place during the Troubles.
Investigating the murder of Rev Robert Bradford – Lyra McKee wants your vote
(23.7.2013)
„For the last 11 months, I’ve been asking questions about Reverend Bradford’s murder and the last months of his life. I’ve interviewed dozens of his friends, colleagues and acquaintances as well as ex-security officials, seeking answers
While Reverend Bradford’s wife wrote a fantastic biography on him, the facts around his death have yet to be established. As one former intelligence official remarked to me, Bradford’s killing was one of a number that didn’t have any “logic”. „
Decades After Northern Ireland’s “Troubles,” Families of the Dead are Still Seeking Answers—and Taking the Investigations Into Their Own Hands

Forty years ago I would have been denied my rights in Northern Ireland because I was Catholic. Now they could be denied because I’m gay
(25.11.2014)
The battle for equal rights for Catholics has been fought and won but as long as Givan & Co. keep finding new people to hate, the Protestant community will not be allowed to forget what happened. They continue, in the eyes of the world, to be “those bigots” who said no to civil rights in 1969. Every request for others to “respect their culture” is consequently treated with scorn when it should be considered.
Christians have rights – and I will defend them. Yes, I disagree with their views on gay marriage but I’ll defend to the death their right to hold them. I can live with someone having an opinion I don’t like.
Growing up gay in Belfast: ‘I used to bargain with God not to send me to hell’
(26.1.2017)
Two years ago, Belfast-based journalist Lyra McKee wrote a blog post; a letter to her 14-year-old self, who was at that time struggling with the fact of being gay in a hostile environment. She received wide attention for the post, which was picked up on social media, and then by BBC Radio Ulster.
“I wanted to write it because a local evangelical pastor here made some horrible derogatory remarks about gay people, and gay women specifically, and it really upset me,” she explains by phone from Belfast.
So was Lyra McKee specifically targeted?
Derry attack: dissident republicans blamed after journalist Lyra McKee shot dead in Northern Ireland
Police Service of Northern Ireland officers were carrying out a search operation in the Creggan area of Derry aimed at disrupting dissident republicans ahead of this weekend‘s commemoration of Irish independence, when a situation developed during which more than 50 petrol bombs were thrown at officers and two cars were hijacked and set on fire.
During the unrest a gunman fired a number of shots at police, Assistant Chief Constable Mark Hamilton said.
