Zelensky to ask for Tomahawks this week – Trump

The Ukrainian leader has repeatedly signaled that he wants the long-range cruise missiles to strike deep into Russian territory

“I know what he has to say. He wants weapons. He would like to have Tomahawks,” Trump said. “Everyone else wants Tomahawks. We have a lot of Tomahawks.”

Just days earlier, the president said that he would provide the cruise missiles to Kiev if the Ukraine conflict “is not going to get settled.” The supplies would be “a new step of aggression,” he admitted.

The weapons have a maximum range of 2,500km (1,550 miles), which means they could potentially allow Ukraine to strike Moscow and other cities even further into Russian territory.

Supplies of these missiles to Kiev would mark a “new stage of escalation,” Russian President Vladimir Putin said earlier this month. “Using Tomahawks without the direct involvement of American military personnel is impossible.”

He added that while deliveries of the weapons could not alter the course of the conflict, they would destroy any recent diplomatic progress between Moscow and Washington.

U.S. Government Adds To Bitcoin Reserve With Historic $15 Billion Seizure In Forced Labor Crypto Scam Case

The United States government has taken custody of roughly 127,271 Bitcoin, worth about $15 billion, marking the largest cryptocurrency forfeiture in Department of Justice history. The move effectively adds a massive tranche to the federal government’s strategic Bitcoin reserves following the dismantling of an alleged transnational cyber-fraud empire based in Cambodia.

The seizure stems from a sweeping federal indictment unsealed Tuesday in Brooklyn, charging Chen Zhi, 37, a U.K. and Cambodian national known as Vincent, and chairman of Prince Holding Group, with wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy, according to a DOJ press release.

Prosecutors allege Chen and his associates “operated forced-labor scam compounds across Cambodia” that carried out “cryptocurrency investment fraud schemes, known as ‘pig butchering’ scams, that stole billions of dollars from victims in the United States and around the world.”

The DOJ release says that the seized funds—referred to in court documents as the Defendant Cryptocurrency—are now under U.S. government control. “The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of New York and the Justice Department’s National Security Division also filed today a civil forfeiture complaint against approximately 127,271 Bitcoin … currently worth approximately $15 billion … presently in the custody of the U.S. government,” the department stated.

Major study finds tooth decay in Queensland children has declined since water fluoridation expanded

Researchers compared the teeth of almost 8,000 students aged between five and 14 years from randomly-selected public and private schools between 2021-24, in a study designed to evaluate the dental health benefits of exposure to fluoride.

They found 38.8 per cent of the children aged five to 10 years had some decay in their baby teeth.

That was down from 49.5 per cent of children studied in 2010-12 when water fluoridation was being rolled out across Queensland under the 2008 Bligh government mandate.
