Israel and Iran are increasing the stakes.

Israel has ground forces in southern Lebanon after last week's pager/radio attacks and bombings of Hezbollah leadership. US Intel reports suggest Iran is preparing a missile and drone attack on Israel.

Madness.

The former national head of Poland’s police, Jarosław Szymczyk, has been charged over an incident in which he is accused of illegally possessing and accidentally firing a grenade launcher in his office that had been gifted to him during a visit to Ukraine. If found guilty, he could face years in prison.

The incident, which took place in December 2022, caused major damage at the main police headquarters in Warsaw, including blowing a hole in the floor. Szymczyk and one civilian employee were hospitalised with minor injuries.

Poland still will be only european country where chief of the police fired grenade launcher in his office but at least now it also will be a country where chief of the police will be charged for firing aforementioned grenade launcher.

California sues Catholic hospital for denying emergency abortion

The woman, chiropractor Anna Nusslock, was driven to another hospital 12 miles (19 km) away and was dangerously hemorrhaging by the time she reached the operating table, according to the lawsuit. Nusslock, who was pregnant with twins, said at a press conference on Monday that doctors at Providence agreed that she needed an abortion to avoid life-threatening complications. However, doctors said that they could not provide one because the Catholic-affiliated hospital's policy prohibited any intervention while they could hear "fetal heart tones" unless her life was in immediate danger, Nusslock added.
