DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran has no proxies but it has friends, tweeted Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif on Thursday, a day after U.S. President Donald Trump said that the country or its proxies planned a sneak attack on U.S. targets in Iraq.
“Don’t be misled by usual warmongers, AGAIN, @realDonaldTrump: Iran has FRIENDS: No one can have MILLIONS of proxies. Unlike the US — which surreptitiously lies, cheats & assassinates — Iran only acts in self-defence,” tweeted Zarif.

Just a naive anon question- not a shill.
So all these rescued children have been underground and will be coming up into the light? Many must have been rescued for a while already and cared for already by the military logically. Did they all have to wait underground?
Ok thx anon

Record high 10,000 suspected modern slavery victims in UK, figures show | The Independent
The number of suspected modern slavery victims in the UK has surged to a record high of more than 10,000 – up 52 per cent in a year, new figures show.
Home Office data reveals 10,627 potential victims of trafficking were referred to the UK’s framework for identifying modern slavery abuses last year, compared with 6,993 in 2018.
The figure has been increasing year-on-year, but the increase is considerably more stark than the previous year when it rose by 36 per cent.
The majority – 80 per cent – of referrals made in 2019 are still waiting for a decision to be made as to whether they are a confirmed victim, which will stoke concerns about a growing backlog in the system.
A total of 8,429 people referred last year are awaiting a conclusive grounds decision, compared with 2,657 (38 per cent) of referrals made in 2018.
