Russia will be held accountable if it invades. And it depends on what it does. It's one thing if it's a minor incursion and we (in Nato) end up having to fight about what to do and what to not do, etcetera. But if they actually do what they're capable of doing, it is going to be a disaster for Russia if they further invade Ukraine.

 

Was Mr Biden giving "permission" for a "minor incursion" by Russia into Ukraine, the journalist asked.

Mr Biden laughed and said: "Good question. It did sound (like) that, didn't it…"

>"I was a murderer. I didn’t take prisoners," one Israeli veteran says. How many Arabs did he kill outside the framework of the battles? "I didn’t count. I had a machine gun with 250 bullets. I can’t say how many."

There's a Mass Palestinian Grave at a Popular Israeli Beach, Veterans Confess

The Israeli veterans of the 1948 battle at Tantura village finally come clean about the mass killing of Arabs that took place after the village's surrender

“They silenced it,” the former combat soldier Moshe Diamant says, trying to be spare with his words. “It mustn’t be told, it could cause a whole scandal. I don’t want to talk about it, but it happened. What can you do? It happened.”

Twenty-two years have passed since the furor erupted over the account of what occurred during the conquest by Israeli troops of the village of Tantura, north of Caesarea on the Mediterranean coast, in the War of Independence. The controversy sprang up in the wake of a master’s thesis written by an Israeli graduate student named Theodore Katz, that contained testimony about atrocities perpetrated by the Alexandroni Brigade against Arab prisoners of war. The thesis led to the publication of an article in the newspaper Maariv headlined “The Massacre at Tantura.” Ultimately, a libel suit filed against Katz by veterans of the brigade induced him to retract his account of a massacre.

Prince Andrew hires Pinochet lawyer as FBI pursues probe into royal's links with paedophile Epstein

The Duke of York has hired Britain's most respected extradition lawyer as the FBI investigates his friendship with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

The 60-year-old Duke is receiving advice from Clare Montgomery QC, whose clients have included Augusto Pinochet, Chile's former dictator, and Nirav Modi, who is wanted for India's biggest fraud, the Daily Telegraph has revealed.

She is briefed by Gary Bloxsome, a criminal defence solicitor who has defended British troops against war crime allegations. He is understood to have been appointed directly by Prince Andrew.

The powerful legal team was assembled following a demand by the FBI and US prosecutors to interview Andrew about his links to Epstein, who was found dead in prison.

Until now, the identities of the legal team have been shrouded in secrecy, with Buckingham Palace aides refusing to reveal who is acting for him.

The disclosure that he is using such an eminent team of lawyers suggests Andrew is taking seriously the threat of investigation by the FBI. It is understood to be the first time the royal family has needed to use such a powerful team of criminal lawyers.

Ms Montgomery, a senior barrister at Matrix Chambers, co-founded by Cherie Blair, is thought to command fees of about £1,000 (€1,152) an hour.

Her clients have included Shrien Dewani, charged with, and acquitted of, murdering his wife in South Africa.

She also prosecuted the Metropolitan Police over the death of Jean Charles de Menezes, shot dead in a failed anti-terror operation.

An online profile of Mr Bloxsome reveals he receives instructions from "leading companies and ultra-high net worth individuals" in international jurisdictions as well as in the UK.

He is also known for reputation and crisis management. One acquaintance said: "He's as sharp as a blade, he's absolutely brilliant."

In January, US prosecutors took the unusual step of publicly accusing Andrew of ignoring attempts to contact him. Geoffrey Berman, US Attorney for the southern district of New York, said he had given "zero co-operation".

In response, sources close to the Duke accused US prosecutors of "failing to play with a straight bat".

A friend suggested he was "angry and bewildered" by the suggestion he had refused to co-operate, insisting he had not been approached.

Buckingham Palace has distanced itself from the ongoing crisis, saying Andrew is no longer a working royal and, as such, it does not represent him. It says that the issue is being dealt with by the Duke's legal team.

Ghislaine Maxwell used me as bait to lure girls, says UK socialite Victoria Hervey

British socialite Victoria Hervey has suggested she was “used as bait” by Ghislaine Maxwell to “find however many girls were needed” to entertain Jeffrey Epstein’s friends.

Ms Hervey’s comment was made in an ITV documentary screened last night, and in a separate interview, for ITV’s Lorraine, she described Maxwell as a “victim” who has become a “scapegoat” as “there is no-one else to blame”.

Maxwell, Epstein’s former girlfriend and a friend of Prince Andrew, was convicted on December 29 of procuring teenage girls for Epstein to abuse and will be sentenced this summer.

Epstein was found dead in his cell at a jail in Manhattan in August 2019 while he awaited trial on sex trafficking charges. The death was ruled a suicide.
