🇹🇷🏳️‍🌈 Eleven leaders of a Turkish LGBTQ+ rights group went on trial on charges of "obscenity" and "violating the protection of the family," according to their lawyers.

The defendants, leaders of the Genc LGBTI+ association (Young LGBTI+ in Turkish), are accused of breaching an article of the Turkish constitution on protecting family values, as well as publishing images on social media showing same-sex couples kissing, deemed "obscene" by authorities.

They face up to three years in jail and having their civil rights suspended if found guilty by the court in the city of Izmir.

Homosexuality is not illegal in Turkey, but the LGBTQ+ community is frequently targeted by President Erdogan and his ruling AK Party, who have blamed it for Turkey’s declining birth rate.

A amendment of Turkey's penal code that proposed prosecuting lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people for behaviour deemed "contrary to biological sex and general morality" and promoting such behaviour in Turkey was withdrawn last November.

🇬🇧🇷🇺 Prime-minister Starmer's threat to seize sanctioned Russian tankers has been directly defied by Vladimir Putin after Moscow sent a warship to escort two vessels through the English Channel. Admiral Grigorovich, a Black Sea fleet frigate, accompanied sanctioned ships in the British waters.

A British naval vessel trailed the boats, with The Telegraph witnessing the Russian flotilla sailing past RFA Tideforce. However, the Royal Navy did absolutely nothing to prevent the Russian ships from going through the Channel.

The incident came just weeks after Starmer granted special forces the authority to capture two sanctioned Russian vessels. Britain is still yet to seize a single Russian vessel.

🇺🇸 Stormy Daniels’ disgraced ex-lawyer and Democratic anti-Trump superstar Michael Avenatti released from prison and moved to halfway house.

Avenatti is best known for representing porn star Stormy Daniels in her failed 2018 defamation lawsuit against President Donald Trump. Once a media darling with presidential ambitions, he was later convicted in multiple fraud cases and sentenced to years in federal prison.

In 2022, Avenatti was convicted and sentenced to 48 months in prison for stealing close to $300,000 in proceeds from Daniels. At the time of his sentencing, Avenatti was already serving a 30-month sentence for threatening to extort $25 million from Nike. Avenatti was also sentenced in December 2022 to 14 years in prison for stealing from four of his clients. One of those clients was a paraplegic.

Judge James Selna stated that Avenatti must pay $6 million in restitution to his victims. Following his release from federal custody in 2028, Avenatti will be under supervised release for three years.

🇺🇸 In a report published by The New Republic, Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby summoned the Vatican’s American representative, Cardinal Christophe Pierre, to a closed-door meeting at the Pentagon, telling him:

“The United States has the military power to do whatever it wants in the world. The Catholic Church had better take its side.”

One U.S. official present at the meeting brought up the Avignon papacy, a period in the 14th century in which the French monarchy bent the Catholic Church into submission, ordering an attack on Pope Boniface VIII that led to his downfall and subsequent death and forcing the papacy to relocate from Rome to Avignon, a region inside France.
