Agree except for one detail. Self-defense is an even more basic right than property. It’s the right to life. If someone comes at you to hurt you or your family or the goods your family rightly worked for, you must defend it.

The Russian government on Monday approved an additional $4.7 billion in investments on infrastructure and tourism in the annexed Crimean peninsula over the next three years.

 

Crimea has received large cash injections from Moscow since 2014, when Russia annexed the Black Sea region from Ukraine. In total, an estimated 878 billion rubles ($13.3 billion) is expected to go toward improving Crimea’s roads and railways, as well as to prop up its tourism sector, between 2015 and 2022.

The protests continued despite Macron's efforts to hold a national debate in town hall-style meetings across France.

 

If called, this would be the first referendum France has held in over a decade and would coincide with the upcoming European elections.

 

The reported referendum would ask citizens if they want to reduce the number of national lawmakers and set term limits. One of the major demands of the protest groups is for referendums to be held on broad policy decisions.

The UK is due to leave the EU at 23:00 GMT on Friday 29 March - with or without a deal.

 

Theresa May has said she is "determined" to deliver Brexit on time, but a number of cabinet ministers have indicated they would be willing to agree to a short extension to finalise legislation.

Cancer Soviety mad that their gravy train might slow? Or justly cautious?

 

But scientists across the research community, including the American Cancer Society, quickly pointed out that this is categorically untrue: cancers can have up to tens of thousands of DNA mutations in their genomes, many of which are the “receptors” researchers vaguely referred to in their press release about the study.

What’s more, the Israeli company also claimed that their therapy would work for all types of cancer. To those in the cancer community, this is an immediate red flag — there are broadly over 200 types of cancer we know about in existence, and for one treatment to address them all would be highly unlikely, if not impossible from a medical standpoint.

Thirdly, the research has so far only been conducted on mice, meaning that it still has yet to be tested on other animal species, be formulated, and then be approved to be administered to humans in Phase 1 clinical trials. This would most definitely take more than a year for any cancer research company, nullifying the second part of the company’s claim.

As one cancer research scientist, Dr. Darren Saunders, MD put it on Twitter, “It’s basically the Fyre festival of cancer cures. I can find very little published data, and the in vitro data on their website is underwhelming at best.”

Critics also say hearing about new “cancer cures” with little to no evidence backing them up can be incredibly detrimental and dangerous for the hundreds of thousands of physicians and researchers working toward the goal of creating better treatments for cancer. In a field so full of fake and unproven cures, it’s irresponsible for both biotech firms and mainstream media outlets to disseminate them.”
