Initially, the SPT sought to assess situation on the ground and “examine the existing protection measures against torture" and other cruel treatment.
The UN body stopped the inspection after earlier this week its delegation was denied entry to a facility in the city of Queanbeyan in the state of New South Wales, eastern Australia.

According to local media reports, Queensland, another Australian state, also blocked visits to mental health facilities, citing local health legislation.

Explaining the decision to prevent UN inspectors from examining the Queanbeyan facility, Geoff Lee, New South Wales Minister for Corrections, argued that “the whole role of our jail system is to keep people safe” and protect them from criminals. “It’s not to allow people just to wander through at their leisure,” he added.

Kiev Preparing ‘Nuclear Incident’ Provocation Against Russia, Sources Say


Updates pending.

TritNG:

Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly warned that there can be no winner in a nuclear war, and that it should never be unleashed.

TritNG:

The Kiev regime is preparing a provocation related to the detonation of the so-called "dirty bomb" in Ukraine, unnamed credible sources in various countries, including Ukraine, have said.
A "dirty bomb", also known as a "radiological dispersal device," or RDD, combines a conventional explosive with radioactive material. Such a bomb typically uses dynamite or other explosives to scatter radioactive dust or smoke so as to cause radioactive contamination.

TritNG:

The sources argued that the purpose of the provocation is to accuse Moscow of using weapons of mass destruction amid the ongoing Russian special military operation in Ukraine and launch a global anti-Russian campaign aimed at undermining confidence in Moscow.

TritNG:

According to the insiders, the administration of the Eastern Mining and Processing Plant located in the town of Zholtye Vody in Ukraine’s Dnepropetrovsk region, as well as the Kiev Institute for Nuclear Research, was tasked with making the "dirty bomb", a process that the sources said is being overseen by Kiev’s Western curators.

TritNG:

The insiders added that the organizers of the provocation hope that if successfully implemented, the “nuclear incident” will prompt an extremely negative reaction from the international community. As a result, Moscow will lose the support of many of its key partners, while the West will again try to raise the issue of depriving Russia of the status of a  a permanent member of the UN Security Council and ramp up its anti-Russian rhetoric, according to the sources.

TritNG:

The claims come after the Russian Foreign Ministry underscored last week that Moscow does not threaten anyone with nuclear weapons, and that it is Western powers who use nuclear rhetoric, trying to make it look like Russia is preparing to deliver strikes using weapons of mass destruction.

TritNG:

This followed Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov earlier this month urging the global community to take note of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's recent call for a preventive nuclear strike on Russia.

TritNG:

Peskov told Sputnik that Zelensky's statements about "preventive nuclear strikes" against Russia should not be ignored by the international community, since those remarks are nothing but a call to start World War 3, which would entail catastrophic consequences.

TritNG:

Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly said that there could be no winners in a nuclear war, noting that Moscow consistently followed the letter and spirit of the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT).

TritNG:

Scenarios under which Russia could theoretically use nuclear weapons are set out in the Russian Military Doctrine and in the Fundamentals of State Policy in the Field of Nuclear Deterrence.

DPRK Says it Opened Fire With Grenade Launchers in Response to Shots From South Korea - Reports

Being updated

DETAILS TO FOLLOW

TritNG:

South Korea says it fired “warning shots” at a North Korean boat that crossed the maritime border between the two countries. North Korea said it responded with fire from rocket launchers, early on Monday morning.
The North Korean retaliatory shots came around 5:15 am, a little less than an hour and a half after South Korea says it shot its warning shots at around 3:50 am. North Korea fired ten shots from a rocket launcher, according to Reuters. North Korean state media claimed South Korea fired "10 shells of multiple rocket launchers in the frontline zone."

TritNG:

According to South Korea’s Joint Chief of Staff, it sent back a North Korean merchant vessel that had passed the Northern Limit Line (NLL), the unofficial sea border between the two nations.

Feces-plagued city to spend $1.7 million on one public toilet

You're probably thinking it's a city in Nigeria or another corruption riddled African country.
E go shock you

TritNG:

San Francisco has announced plans to spend nearly four times the cost of a typical US home to construct a single water closet

TritNG:

San Francisco’s local government expects to spend up to $1.7 million to build just one public toilet – hardly a drop in the bucket for a city that gets thousands of complaints annually of feces on its sidewalks – and the project will take an estimated three years to complete.

This made me weak

TritNG:

City leaders were scheduled to gather on Wednesday afternoon at Noe Valley Town Square to tout their success in obtaining state funding for the pricey toilet, according to a public notice for the event. The facility will reportedly be just 150 square feet in size and won’t be ready for use until 2025, if all goes according to plans.

TritNG:

As San Francisco Chronicle columnist Heather Knight explained, “Another public toilet in a city with very few of them is excellent. But the details of this particular flint? They’re mind-boggling, and sum up a lot of what’s wrong with our city government.”
