Chinese gene-editing scientist jailed for 3 years

A Chinese scientist who helped create the world's first gene-edited babies has been sentenced to three years in prison.

He Jiankui shocked the world in 2018 when he announced that twin girls Lulu and Nana had been born with modified DNA to make them resistant to HIV, which he had managed using the gene-editing tool CRISPR-Cas9 before birth.

He, an associate professor at the Southern University of Science and Technology in Shenzhen, said at the time that he was "proud" of the achievement. He later claimed that a second woman was pregnant as a result of his research.

But he was condemned by many of his peers, with the experiment labeled "monstrous," "unethical," and a "huge blow" to the reputation of Chinese biomedical research. Many people within the scientific community raised ethical concerns, including the level of consent He had obtained from the parents of the babies, and the level of transparency around gene editing.

Hanukkah Attack: Federal Hate Crime Charges Filed Against Suspect

Federal prosecutors have filed hate crime charges against the suspect who allegedly stabbed five people with a machete during a Hanukkah celebration near New York City on Saturday.

Grafton Thomas, 37, faces five counts of attempted murder and one count of burglary. On Monday, the federal hate crime charges were laid out against him, reported The Associated Press.

He is expected to appear in federal court in White Plains in Westchester County to face five counts of obstructing the free exercise of religious beliefs, AP reported.

Of those who were injured, a 71-year-old man remains in the hospital in critical condition. He suffered several stab wounds and a fractured skull in the assault, according to the report.

Thomas had pleaded not guilty to the attempted murder and burglary charges when he was arraigned in a Rockland County court on Sunday. He’s being held on $5 million bond in a Rockland County jail.

Meanwhile, Thomas’s family issued a statement saying he has no ties with any hate groups and has long suffered from mental illness.

Iran’s FM Zarif urges world to counter US unilateralism

Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has called for collective cooperation among world countries to counter unilateralism propagated by the US administration across the globe.

Zarif made the remark in a joint press conference with his Russian counterpart, Sergei Lavrov, in the capital Moscow on Monday, adding, “The US government attempts to dictate its intentions to other countries, and Russia and Iran have confronted this approach through the JCPOA (the Iran nuclear deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action) and other fields.”

The JCPOA was reached in Vienna in July 2015 between Iran and the P5+1 group of states, the US, Britain, France, Russia, and China plus Germany. It lifted nuclear-related sanctions against Tehran, which, in turn, voluntarily changed some aspects of its nuclear energy program.

The US, however, left the accord last May and reinstated its unilateral sanctions against Iran. The European deal partners, meanwhile, have bowed to Washington’s pressure, failing to honor their contractual obligations to protect Iran’s economy in the face of America’s “toughest-ever” bans.

“Although most European countries threw their weight behind the JCPOA politically, they failed to adopt practical measures to counter the US sanctions and fulfill their commitments,” the top Iranian diplomat said at the joint presser.

‘Evil Exists’: Trump-Supporting Armed Congregant Speaks Out In Viral Post After Taking Out Church Shooter

An armed church security guard who shot and killed the gunman who attacked a church in White Settlement, Texas on Sunday spoke out in a Sunday night Facebook post.

Jack Wilson, a candidate for Hood County commissioner who, according to his campaign’s Facebook page, owns a business called On Target Firearms Training Academy, Inc. and is a vocal supporter of President Donald Trump, was one of two armed volunteer security guards who took down the gunman.

“I just want to thank all who have sent their prayers and comments on the events of today,” Wilson wrote on Facebook in a post that received thousands of likes and shares. “The events at West Freeway Church of Christ put me in a position that I would hope no one would have to be in, but evil exists and I had to take out an active shooter in church.”

“I’m thankful to GOD that I have been blessed with the ability and desire to serve him in the role of head of security at the church,” the post continued. “I am very sad in the loss of two dear friends and brothers in CHRIST, but evil does exist in this world and I and other members are not going to allow evil to succeed. Please pray for all the members and their families in this time. Thank you for your prayers and understanding.”

Wilson and the other West Freeway Church of Christ security team’s actions were praised as “heroic” by White Settlement Police Chief JP Bevering. The gunman managed to kill two congregants before being stopped by the armed parishioners, who responded within seconds.

“The citizens who were inside that church undoubtedly saved 242 other parishioners, and that might get swept aside,” said Texas DPS Director Jeoff Williams. “It was miraculous. The true heroes in all this are the people who were sitting in those pews today and responded, the immediate responders … it was truly heroic.”

The church’s pastor, Senior Minister Britt Farmer, thanked the government for allowing “us the opportunity to protect ourselves.”

Pope admit devil worship

When a priest subjects a child to abuse, it is as if the priest has celebrated a “black Mass” as part of a Satanic ritual.
