http://youtu.be/g8-wIrhr8mc WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT. A Russian soldier desperate to survive after Ukrainian drones took out his entire unit used hand signals to surrender — before he was guided across enemy lines by the same drones that used explosives to kill his comrades. Russian draftee Ruslan Anitin, 30, was one of the sole survivors of his platoon near the eastern city of Bakhmut on May 9 when drone and mortar attacks persisted for hours — and eventually led him to surrender. Drone footage published by the Wall Street Journal shows Anitin standing up without his rifle and drawing his finger across his neck while shaking his head — using hand gestures to beg the Ukrainian pilots to spare his life if he surrendered. When Anitin’s commander moved his unit to Bakhmut — as other troop...

http://youtu.be/QXvzvduMdGA White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre has been slammed by critics after getting testy with a reporter who pressed her about whether transgender females should be allowed to play girls’ sports. EWTN White House correspondent Owen Jensen set Jean-Pierre off by asking what she would tell parents who might be “worried about their daughter’s safety” if they have to compete against “a person born male.“ “What you’re alluding to is basically saying that transgender kids are dangerous,” Jean-Pierre shot back. “You’re laying a broad kind of … example or explanation of what could potentially [be] happening.” “That is a dangerous thing to say that essentially, transgender kids … are dangerous. And so that’s something that I have to call out.” Jensen denied Je...

http://youtu.be/MZrWOZMiTbY Allowing more migrants to cross the border into the U.S. was the only thing on the agenda for Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas when he entered power with President Biden’s administration, former Border Patrol Chief Rodney Scott testified Wednesday. Scott made the statement under questioning from the House Homeland Security Committee during a hearing focused on Mayorkas’ alleged “dereliction of duty.” The former federal official testified that Mayorkas is “not incompetent,” and that he knew what effect his policies would have. “Do you know firsthand if Customs and Border Patrol agents actually advised Mr. Mayorkas and said, ‘Hey you need to reverse these policies to stop this tidal wave that’s coming into the United States’?” asked Rep. Carlos Gi...

http://youtu.be/SKOfCZruGwE Rescue workers transferred the bodies of dead migrants to refrigerated trucks as a major search continued Thursday for possible survivors of a sea disaster in southern Greece. Hundreds of people are still feared missing. At least 78 bodies have been recovered after a fishing boat crammed with migrants seeking to make it from Libya to Italy capsized and sank a day earlier in deep waters off the Greek coast. Rescuers saved 104 passengers — including Egyptians, Syrians, Pakistanis, Afghans and Palestinians, mostly men and including eight minors — but authorities fear that hundreds of others may have been trapped below deck. If confirmed, that would make the tragedy one of the worst ever recorded in the central Mediterranean. Authorities revised the confirmed d...

http://youtu.be/srrKgPl8CR0 WARNING: GRAPHIC CONTENT. A police officer in Kansas City could be seen on video kneeling on a Walmart customer’s neck after accusing the man of stealing a $5 frozen pizza, a report said. Dayton Borisouth, 24, told KCTV that he had just purchased the pizza at the self-checkout on June 1 and was walking out of the store when the officer asked for his receipt. He initially refused, because he didn’t think the action was legally required. Borisouth had not planned to go to Walmart that day — but had driven there to help his uncle jumpstart his car after getting off work. He decided to run in and grab a pizza for dinner later that night and didn’t even bother to put it in a bag. “[The officer] said, ‘Got your receipt?’” Borisouth recounted. “And I answered. I s...

http://youtu.be/Eml95IxvE68 Jamie Hammonds said city policies have pushed homeless into areas where the public can’t see them An Austin, Texas, resident is raising awareness of the city’s homeless problem and its unseen impact on greenbelt areas. Jamie Hammonds, an investigative filmmaker who runs the organization Documenting Austin’s Streets and Homeless, or DASH, shared videos Wednesday on Twitter, showing a homeless encampment in the Violet Crown Trail after roughly a year of neglect. “It’s destroyed. It will never be the same,” Hammonds tweeted. A real-estate agent concurred, saying the “environmental damage from these camps is immense.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/06/08/video-shows-austins-violet-crown-trail-trashed-by-homeless-camps/ #texas #austin #homeless #camp...

http://youtu.be/6khhDnQl5a8 Body-cam footage from the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department captured a suspected UFO soaring across the night sky before a nearby resident called in a report of something “100% not human” on their property, local TV channel 8 News Now reported. A Vegas officer’s camera picked up the object at about 11:50 p.m. on April 30, and, according to the American Meteor Society, its flash was seen as far as Utah and California. Approximately 39 minutes after, another man — who lives about 80 miles from Area 51 — made a chilling call to 911, saying that there were two unknown entities in his backyard after he and his family saw a similar object fall from of the sky. “There’s like an 8-foot person beside it and another one is inside us [sic] and it has big eyes an...

http://youtu.be/t1iP1eW2oFQ Jay Johnston, an actor known for his roles in “Bob’s Burgers” and “Arrested Development,” was arrested Wednesday for his alleged involvement in the attack on the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. According to court documents reviewed by The Post, Johnston, 54, was arrested in California. He is charged with obstruction of officers during civil disorder, which is a felony, and several misdemeanors, including entering a restricted building and engaging in disruptive conduct with intent to impede government business. On March 4, 2021, the FBI tweeted photos of a man, allegedly Johnston, at the Jan. 6 riot and asked the public for help identifying him.

http://youtu.be/TgA0aoWtMUY The prime suspect in the 2005 disappearance of American teen Natalee Holloway flashed a smile as he was handed over to US authorities early Thursday. Joran van der Sloot, 35, took off from Peru’s Jorge Chavez International Airport around 8 a.m. local time in the company of agents from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Fox News Digital reported. Photos from the proceedings show the Dutch national appearing to smile in an Interpol vest alongside armed guards. Van der Sloot has been in prison in Peru for more than a decade after pleading guilty to the May 2010 murder of student Stephany Flores. He is being extradited to Birmingham, Alabama, on charges of defrauding and extorting Natalee Holloway’s mother, Beth Holloway, that same year. Read more at https:/...

http://youtu.be/El7XL-8Brik Distraught Theranos fraudster Elizabeth Holmes was spotted crying throughout a seven-hour reunion with her family last weekend – less than a week after she reported to federal prison in Texas to begin serving her 11-year sentence. An emotional Holmes, 39, was photographed sitting at a picnic table and walking the grounds in her prison-issued uniform during the meeting with her husband, William Evans, and her parents, Christian and Noel, at Federal Prison Camp Bryan near Houston last Saturday. Holmes was “visibly shaken” and “crying during much of the visit,” according to the Daily Mail, which first obtained photos of the visit.

http://youtu.be/r1lF0j1PYG8 California Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled a proposal Thursday to amend the US Constitution to restrict gun ownership rights, including enforcing universal background checks and raising the firearm purchase age to 21. The Democrat said his “28th Amendment” — which he claims will leave the Second Amendment “unchanged” — calls for four new measures to help end what he called the nation’s “gun violence crisis.” In addition to background checks and raising the legal age of purchase from 18 years, Newsom’s push involves instituting a firearm purchase waiting period and barring the civilian purchase of “assault weapons.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/06/08/gavin-newsom-pitches-28th-amendment-restricting-gun-rights/ #gavinnewsom #california #politics The New...

http://youtu.be/6qMF7iDa9no President Biden tripped over British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s title during their White House meeting Thursday — referring to the UK pol as “Mr. President.” The 80-year-old Biden’s gaffe came almost immediately after the two leaders sat down in the Oval Office ahead of their wide-ranging talks. “Well, Mr. President,” Biden started to say before abruptly correcting himself. “Mr. President? I just demoted you.” Read more at https://nypost.com/2023/06/08/biden-bungles-british-pm-sunaks-title-during-white-house-visit/ #joebiden #rishisunak #politics The New York Post is your source for breaking news, news about New York, sports, business, entertainment, opinion, real estate, culture, fashion, and more.

http://youtu.be/B6w1QLHBx18 Billionaire John Catsimatidis teased that he aims to buy CNN from its corporate parent, Warner Bros. Discovery — and told The Post he’d “go run the place tomorrow morning and all I’d want is $1 per year.” The New York supermarket mogul first said he’d bid on the beleaguered network during a Thursday morning appearance on 77 WABC’s “Sid & Friends in the Morning.” In a subsequent interview with The Post, however, 74-year-old Catsimatidis wasn’t ready to share details, including how much he’d be willing to pony up. “It’s up to the investment bankers to come up with the numbers,” Catsimatidis said, although he also signaled that he didn’t believe financing a bid would be a problem. “We could always bring partners in, but I want to run the place,” he said. “...

http://youtu.be/3Jg8r8f3geA Former President Trump says he has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges that he mishandled classified material by keeping hundreds of sensitive documents from his time in the White House at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. The Department of Justice has yet to confirm. “The corrupt Biden Administration has informed my attorneys that I have been Indicted, seemingly over the Boxes Hoax,” Trump wrote in a Truth Social post that went on to criticize President Biden’s handling of classified material. It appears as though his arraignment may be as soon as next week. “I have been summoned to appear at the Federal Courthouse in Miami on Tuesday, at 3 PM. I never thought it possible that such a thing could happen to a former President of the United Sta...

http://youtu.be/_f-gBc2m3uo Joran van der Sloot, the chief suspect in the 2005 disappearance of Natalee Holloway, arrived in the United States from Peru on Thursday to face charges that he attempted to extort money from the missing teen’s mother. An FBI-operated plane carrying van der Sloot landed at Birmingham’s Shuttlesworth Airport about 2:30 p.m. — just hours after Peruvian authorities handed him over temporarily to US custody — and the suspect was escorted down the steps into a black SUV, which brought him to a local jail. Van der Sloot is scheduled to be arraigned in federal court in Birmingham at 11 a.m. Friday, according to court records. Kevin Butler, an attorney listed as van der Sloot’s public defender, did not return an email seeking comment on the case. The suspect has be...

http://youtu.be/LNpOBQ7j6eY Chaos erupted inside Japan’s parliament Thursday as left-wing lawmakers sparked a brawl in a frantic attempt to block a controversial immigration bill. Former Japanese actor and celebrity legislator Taro Yamamoto, leader of the anti-establishment Reiwa Shinsengumi party, had to be held back as he lunged at opposition leaders during tumultuous proceedings, shocking Twitter footage shows. The scuffle brought debate over the bill to a temporary halt but failed to stifle the measure, which passed the Upper House of the country’s legislature — called the National Diet — and is due for a final vote on Friday, Japan Times reported. “Steamrolling this bill is unacceptable,” Japanese Communist Party member Sohei Nihi objected during the debate, the outlet said.

http://youtu.be/vF9CIeP-RH8 Congressional Republicans who read an FBI informant file accusing President Biden of a role in a $5 million bribery scheme said Thursday that it involved the Ukrainian company Burisma — but Biden tauntingly retorted, “Where’s the money?” “It’s a bunch of malarkey,” Biden told a Post reporter when asked about the bribery claim hours after FBI Director Christopher Wray agreed to let rank-and-file House Oversight Committee members read a June 2020 document in a bid to avoid being held in contempt. Reps. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) revealed details after reading the file at the Capitol. Both said Burisma owner Mykola Zlochevsky allegedly told an FBI source that he paid $5 million apiece to Hunter and then-VP Joe Biden in an attem...

http://youtu.be/h4uXn5Ts9cM WARNING: Graphic Content - France is calling him “the backpack hero”, a young Catholic pilgrim on a walking tour of cathedrals who came face to face with the man who stabbed several children in a park in Annecy. Henri, a 24-year-old management and philosophy student, was near the playground in Le Paquier Park when he saw the man attacking children in a stroller as their mother desperately tried to shield them on Thursday. Video footage shows him trying to block the assailant with one of his two backpacks, pursuing the man into the playground, and throwing one of his bags at the attacker. So far, most of France only knows him by his first name. That is all there is on his social media accounts and police have not gone into more detail. French media have simp...

http://youtu.be/OyhPuUtwCRg A driver in a stolen school bus led cops on a wild, 80-mile high-speed chase across two states before he crashed in Indiana — and it was all caught on dramatic dashcam video. Police said the bus was stolen from Cincinnati, Ohio last week and soon had cops from multiple agencies tailing behind for more than 50 minutes as it barreled erratically down Interstate 74, footage aired Wednesday by WXIX-TV shows. At one point the bus, which police said was not carrying any passengers, strikes the curb and nearly topples over — but veers back onto the road and races on with about a half-dozen cops following close behind. The May 30 chase crossed the Indiana state line and onto State Route 9 in Shelbyville, where it finally careened onto the cornfield and bounced to a ...

http://youtu.be/FOcnUXmSwTc After more than 25 years of searching, a veteran diver specializing in finding sunken ships has uncovered the location of the HMS Triumph, a World War II British submarine that disappeared in 1942. Kostas Thoctarides, a renowned Greek diver, and his team located the wreck of the missing submarine at around 670 feet in the Aegean Sea. Describing the search as “the hardest mission I have ever undertaken in my life,” Thoctarides shared photos and video on social media of the submerged 84-meter T-class submarine, which vanished during a mission against the Axis Powers in January 1942. The haunting images show sea life growing on every inch of the sunken craft’s exterior after 81 years underwater. Thoctarides told state news agency ANA that the submarine’s peris...

http://youtu.be/EMACnfcHQs8 Three sisters died in a horrific head-on collision in North Carolina after a vehicle slammed into them just a day before one of their birthdays, police said. Viola Medlin Singletary, 74, Gloria Medlin McCrimmon, 72, and Cheryl Elaine Medlin, 63, were on Highway 690 in Moore County on Wednesday when a 2023 Kia crossed the center line and slammed into their vehicle, State Highway Patrol officials said. The deadly crash completely destroyed the silver 2010 Hyundai the sisters were riding in — killing them as well as the driver of the Kia. The youngest of the sisters would have celebrated her 64th birthday Thursday. Suzanne Beasley, a passenger in the Kia and the lone survivor, was airlifted to a hospital with serious injuries, WRAL reported. Read more at http...

A drone video captured the aftermath of a massive train derailment in Arizona involving a freight train that emergency officials say was “carrying a variety of new cars, vans and trucks.” The train, operated by BNSF, derailed around midnight Wednesday in Williams, located outside of Flagstaff, according to Coconino County Emergency Management. “A total of 23 cars derailed and sustained heavy damage.

http://youtu.be/OXoPTTuJZpA Former President Donald Trump unlawfully kept hundreds of classified government documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate after leaving office — including papers detailing America’s conventional and nuclear weapons programs, potential weak points in US defenses, and plans to respond to a foreign attack, federal prosecutors charged Friday. The 45th president stored boxes containing the documents throughout his property, including “a ballroom, a bathroom and shower, an office space, his bedroom, and a storage room,” according to a 49-page indictment filed in Miami federal court Thursday. Trump also wasn’t shy about showing off the material, according to prosecutors, who cited a recorded July 2021 meeting at which the ex-president reportedly displayed a “plan of attack...

http://youtu.be/6AtHJNLfaiY President Biden said Friday in North Carolina that “we lost our son in Iraq” — repeating a factual error he’s made at least three other times in the past year. Biden, 80, spoke of his late son Beau’s death while telling a community college audience about how he intended to retire before ultimately running for president in 2020. “Barack [Obama] and I spent eight years together and then the new administration came in. And in the meantime, things changed in our life, in our family — I lost my son, we lost our son in Iraq,” Biden said. Beau Biden died of brain cancer at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., in May 2015 — about 20 months before his father left office as veep. The elder Biden is the oldest-ever president, and his repeated...

http://youtu.be/xImQUugTfpc Four siblings, including an infant, were found alive and well in the Colombian jungle on Friday — a remarkable 40 days after the plane in which they were traveling crashed, killing every adult on board, authorities said. The miraculous ending to the saga that has captivated the world was shared by President Gustavo Petro, who told reporters Friday that the children’s incredible tale of survival “will remain in history.” The scrappy youngsters were ultimately located in the Amazon rainforest by one of the rescue dogs handled by soldiers with the Colombian army who joined the search weeks ago.
