‘Over 130 children die each day’ in US-backed blockade of Yemen

“Save the Children says more than 50,000 youngsters are believed to have already lost their lives so far this year.  The organisation has said a blockade by the Saudi-led coalition fighting Iran-backed Houthi rebels will almost certainly make things worse.  The World Health Organisation, UNICEF and the World Food Programme said seven million people are on the brink of famine.  More than 10,000 people have been killed in the conflict since March 2015 and three million have been displaced.”

“After their DNA was found on 18-year-old ‘Anna Chambers’ in September, the two Brooklyn narcotics officers who she accused of raping her admitted to sex with the young woman. But they claimed the contact—which occured after police pulled over Chambers on a traffic stop, found loose prescription pills in her bag, and took her into their custody—was consensual. Now they’re trying to discredit her by pointing prosecutors to her ‘provocative’ social-media selfies and to tweets where she lashes out at someone accusing her of lying.”
