BEIRUT – A signal pulsed under the rubble of a Beirut building that collapsed when the horrific port exploded in the Lebanese capital last month is detected, generating hope that a survivor may still be buried there.
The effort comes after the tracking dog belonging to Chile’s search and rescue team first detected something when the team crossed Gemmayzeh Street in Beirut and rushed into the rubble of a building, one of the streets hardest hit by the August 4 explosion..
The team then used an audio detection device for signals or center frequency and detected what could be an 18 to 19 beat pulse consistent with one minute.The origin of the pulsed signal is not known without delay, but it triggered a frantic search and generated new hopes..
Survivors are incredibly unlikely to be discovered a month after the explosion that ravaged Beirut in August, when some 3,000 tons of ammonium nitrate caught fire in the port.The explosion killed another 191 people and injured another 6,000, and is one of the largest.Registered non-nuclear explosions.Thousands of houses were damaged.
“In 99% there is nothing, but even if there is less than 1% hope, we keep looking,” said Youssef Malah, a civil defense officer.He said his men would continue to run all night, adding that the paintings were incredibly delicate.
A Chilean volunteer, however, said his device knew the respiratory and central frequency of humans, animals and had detected a human sign.
For days, a French rescue team and other volunteers had tested the debris of the buildings after the explosion and had no explanation as to why bodies or survivors remained.

In addition, he adds, “the attacks are a strategic message to Tehran and the Quds Force [of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps], they warn [against] their continued activity in Syria.”

BRUSSELS – The European Union will protect the International Criminal Court from attempting to undermine it, a bloc spokesman said after Washington imposed sanctions on the court’s most sensible prosecutor in The Hague.
U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo announced sanctions opposed to ICC-leading prosecutor Fatou Bensouda and another senior court official, Phakiso Mochochoko, for an investigation into war crimes opposed to the U.S. army workers’ corps in Afghanistan.
Washington has long rejected the ICC’s jurisdiction over U.S. citizens, however, the court’s investigation into allegations of atrocities in Afghanistan has noted that the management of U.S. President Donald Trump is a low-level opposition to a concerted crusade against the institution.
“The International Criminal Court faces persistent situations of external demand and the European Union strongly opposes anyone who scaops the formula of foreign criminal justice by obstructing the paintings of its main institutions,” Peter Stano, spokesman for eu diplomatic leader Josep Borrell, told the press..
“We are committed to strengthening our support for the ICC, as it is a key element in the fight against impunity.We support the ICC and are not satisfied to see measures contrary to the ICC’s activities.
Pompeo dismissed the ICC as a “kangaroo court” and the United States insists it has its own procedures for investigating allegations by its troops.

With just months to pass till the U.S. presidential election, Facebook says it is taking more steps to inspire voting, minimize incorrect information and the probability of post-election “civil unrest.”
The company announced that it will limit new political classified ads in the week leading up to the election and remove messages that include incorrect information about COVID-19 and voting, as well as linking official effects to applicants and campaigns that signal unwelcome victories.
“This election will not happen as usual. We all have a duty to our democracy,” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said in a message.”It means helping others register and vote, clearing up confusion about how these elections work, and taking steps to reduce the threat of violence and unrest.”
Facebook and other social media corporations are under scrutiny to see how they deal with the wrong data, given the unrest with U.S. President Donald Trump and other applicants posting false data and Russian interference in the 2016 White House election and continued attempts to interfere with U.S. policy.
Facebook has long been criticized for not determining facts about political classified ads or for restricting the way they can target small teams of people.
With the country divided and the electoral effects that could take days or weeks to complete, there may be “a greater threat of civil unrest across the country,” Zuckerberg said.
Based on the new measures, Facebook said it would ban politicians and campaigns from running new classified ads in elections in the week leading up to the election; however, they can still serve existing classified classified ads and replace their targeting.

“The coronavirus crisis is not handled. The economic scenario for Israeli citizens is not, and the morbidity figures in Israel are only increasing.The government is wasting public confidence,” Yesh Atid’s MP Meir Cohen told the Hebrew media.
Palestinian Authority Health Minister Mai al-Kaila will lead a fitness delegation from the West Bank to the Gaza Strip tomorrow, the Palestinian Authority’s fitness ministry in Ramallah said.
The delegation will arrive with about 20 trucks with medical assistance similar to coronavirus, al Kaila said.
Such public coordination between the Fatah-dominated Palestinian Authority and Hamas is relatively rare, as there is little love lost between the two rival Palestinian governments.In 2007, Hamas expelled Fatah from the Gaza Strip after a bloody struggle for the coastal enclave.Attempts at reconciliation have since failed to end the schism of Palestinian politics.
An offer through Hamas before this summer to provide medical assistance to the West Bank as the virus ravages in Palestinian Authority-controlled spaces is rejected.
