TRUMP: Pelosi ‘was China’s dream’

Former President Donald Trump has condemned House Speaker Nancy Pelosi for visiting Taiwan, calling her trip “China’s dream.” Trump previously argued that Pelosi’s visit, which led to large-scale Chinese military drills and a severing of some diplomatic links with the US, would “cause great friction and hatred.”

“Crazy Nancy Pelosi, what the hell? What was she doing in Taiwan?” Trump said during a campaign-style rally in Wisconsin on Friday. “She was China’s dream. She gave them an excuse. They’ve been looking for that excuse, she gave it. Everything she touches turns to you-know-what.”

Pelosi visited Taiwan on Tuesday, after repeated warnings from Beijing that doing so would have diplomatic and military consequences.

Atomic Message / 2015
#Japan

When an atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, teenage postal worker, Sumiteru Taniguchi, was ‘lucky’. He didn’t die on the spot, but received terrible injuries to his back and left arm.

Sumiteru is a hibakusha, which is Japanese for an A-bomb survivor. Burns covered his entire back, forcing him to lie on his stomach for nearly two years. Sumiteru devoted the rest of his life to the anti-nuclear movement, showing his scars as a symbol of the horrors of war.

More than 70,000 people died in Nagasaki and about 140,000 died in Hiroshima. On August 6 and 9, it will be 77 years since the US dropped atomic bombs on these Japanese cities. Hear chilling accounts from Sumiteru Taniguchi and other hibakusha.

Biden remains in isolation despite negative Covid test

President Joe Biden tested negative for Covid-19 on Saturday, but “in an abundance of caution” will remain in strict isolation under daily monitoring until a second negative result confirms he has beaten his “rebound” infection, according to White House physician Dr. Kevin O'Connor.

“The President continues to feel very well,” O’Connor wrote in his daily update on Biden's condition.

The US leader initially tested positive for Covid-19 on July 21, despite having been fully vaccinated and receiving two booster shots. He worked in isolation for five days, while experiencing a mild cough and body aches, before testing negative last week.

IAEA ‘alarmed’ over shelling at Europe’s largest nuclear plant

The International Atomic Energy Agency said on Saturday it was “extremely concerned” by the shelling on Friday of the Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant. The risk of a potential nuclear disaster at what is Europe's largest nuclear power station is “very real,” it warned, adding that not only would Ukraine be affected but other nations as well.

“Military action jeopardizing the safety and security of the Zaporozhskaya nuclear power plant is completely unacceptable and must be avoided at all costs,” the UN nuclear watchdog’s director general, Rafael Mariano Grossi, said in a statement. Targeting the facility with any “military firepower” would amount to “playing with fire, with potentially catastrophic consequences,” he added.

Elon Musk says he will buy Twitter on one condition

Billionaire Elon Musk has laid down the gauntlet for the Twitter takeover to go through - if the platform demonstrates the authenticity of user accounts. He then challenged the CEO to a debate.

Musk said the deal to buy Twitter “should proceed on original terms” if it shares their method for sampling accounts to determine they are genuine.

“If Twitter simply provides their method of sampling 100 accounts and how they’re confirmed to be real, the deal should proceed on original terms."

He then continued, “I hereby challenge@paraga to a public debate about the Twitter bot percentage. Let him prove to the public that Twitter has <5% fake or spam daily users!” Musk added.
