🚨NEWS: The Home Office and police have just told the press of their plans to massively expand facial recognition surveillance in the UK.

They want to spend £230 million of taxpayers’ money to:

🔸Use facial recognition on fixed cameras at train stations

🔸Buy a convoy of new live facial recognition vans

🔸Increase other forms of facial recognition such as facial recognition on police officers' mobile phones

We're watching surveillance creep unfold.

We must #StopFacialRecognition⤵️

Governments have a duty to protect people from climate change, ECHR judges rule

Swiss government violated women’s human rights by climate change inaction, ECHR rules

Strasbourg court finds Switzerland failed to do enough to combat global warming in a ruling that could have repercussions across Europe

"The European Court of Human Rights has made a landmark ruling that governments have a duty to protect people from climate change.
In a case brought by a group of elderly Swiss women, the Strasbourg judges ruled that Switzerland was not doing enough to tackle climate change.
The ruling is binding and can trickle down to influence the law in 46 countries in Europe including the UK. The court found that the Swiss state had violated Article 8 of the European Convention on Human Rights, which guarantees the “right to respect for private and family life.”
The women, aged in their 70s and over and backed by Greenpeace, said Switzerland’s government violated their human rights by failing to act quickly enough to address climate change.
They argued that their demographic group was particularly vulnerable to climate-induced heatwaves. One woman said she could not leave her house for three weeks during the summer."

🇷🇺🇺🇳 Russian Mission to the UN in New York:

🎙 Remarks to the press by Permanent Representative Vassily Nebenzia with regard to Ukraine's attacks on the Zaporozhskaya NPP (April 8, 2024)

Key talking points:

💬 In the last three days, the Armed Forces of Ukraine carried out a number of attacks against the Zaporozhskaya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP). <...> On 7 April, even more grave incidents occurred.

At 11:38 local time, a kamikaze drone hit the area of the canteen on the territory of the ZNPP. As a result, 3 persons were injured – one of them heavily – and a truck unloading the food was damaged. <...> Precisely half an hour later – at 12:08 local time – a strike of combat drone was detected in the area of the ZNPP cargo port. And almost three hours later, at 15:05, the Armed Forced of Ukraine directly hit with a drone a nuclear installation – the dome of the power unit No. 6.

Approximately at 15:30 local time, three IAEA experts, accompanied by the ZNPP employees, visited the sites that had been attacked around the plant. They inspected the places hit with the drones, documented the damage and the remains of munitions and delivery vehicles.

❗️ It is not about some accidental strikes. It is about deliberate and massive shelling of the largest NPP in Europe – for the first time since the previous attack against the ZNPP within its perimeter carried out by Ukrainian forces on 20 November 2022.

The events that occurred this weekend demonstrate that the Ukrainian forces just neglect the considerations of common sense, as well as health and security of their people and the people of other states. Even a possibility of a nuclear catastrophe is not a “no-go” sign for them.

We urge the international community to condemn these irresponsible and gravely dangerous actions of the Kiev regime. Its Western sponsors <...> should bear responsibility for the reckless actions by Ukrainian political and military authorities aimed at compromising nuclear safety and security at the global scale
