''Since Nov. 2023, the Ansarullah movement has shifted its focus from the Yemeni civil war and the sluggish peace talks with Saudi Arabia to conducting naval operations in the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden. At the offset, the group—better known as the Houthis—declared that it would target only vessels heading to or from Israel. The declared aim was to pressure Tel Aviv to cease “aggression” against Gaza and to allow humanitarian aid into the Palestinian coastal enclave. However, many of the targeted vessels have no apparent connection with Israel. Moreover, in response to the ongoing UK and US airstrikes in Houthi-held areas that began in Jan. 2024, the Yemeni group has expanded its list of targets to also include American and British ships. The maritime attacks have generated mixed responses. Although the avowed support for the Palestinian cause has garnered support from many across the region and beyond, numerous Yemenis do not buy into the Houthi narrative. In fact, many in Yemen have taken to social media to point out what they perceive as hypocrisy on the part of the group. They draw comparisons between Israel’s siege on Gaza and the blockade that the Houthis impose on Taiz—a contested central governorate that has been under partial siege by the movement’s fighters since 2016. In this vein, many Yemenis question the Houthis’ sincerity in their reasoning—arguing that the maritime attacks could, in fact, be a strategy to deflect attention from the deteriorating economic situation in areas under the group’s control.''

US Secret Service enhances Trump’s security for remainder of election campaign Earlier, the media reported that Trump moves around the United States with only a barebones security detail, a far cry from the number of security personnel accompanying sitting heads of state WASHINGTON DC, July 15/ The US Secret Service has enhanced ex-President Donald Trump’s security following the attempt on his life at a rally in Pennsylvania, the agency’s Director Kimberly Cheatle said in a statement. "In addition to the additional security enhancements we provided to former President Trump’s detail in June, we have also implemented changes to his security detail since Saturday to ensure his continued protection for the [Republican Party’s] convention and the remainder of the campaign," the statement reads. On July 14, the New York Post reported that Trump moves around the United States with only a barebones security detail, a far cry from the number of security personnel accompanying sitting heads of state. The former president's guards do not receive any resources from the US government to counter possible sniper attacks and provide him with air security. The assassination attempt on Trump took place on July 13 at an election rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. A bullet grazed the ex-president’s ear, but he is in stable condition. As a result of the shooting, one of his supporters was killed. The attacker, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by Secret Service officers. The motives of the perpetrator are still unknown. #business #finance #financialservices

BREAKING: INDEPENDENT PANEL PROBING TRUMP ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT SAYS SECRET SERVICE NEEDS 'FUNDAMENTAL REFORM' Independent panel probing Trump assassination attempt says Secret Service needs 'fundamental reform' In a 52-page report released on Thursday, the panel said the agency failed to properly secure the building that the gunman stood on when he shot into the rally Independent panel probing Trump assassination attempt says Secret Service needs 'fundamental reform' By Nicholas Ballasy Just the News Published: Updated: October 17, 2024 9:12 am https://lnkd.in/gNdtacDS? The Secret Service is in need of "fundamental reform," according to reported released Thursday morning by an independent panel investigating the July 13 assassination attempt of former President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. In a 52-page report, the panel said the agency failed to properly secure the building from which the gunman fired shots into the rally. One rally attendee was killed and three others were wounded, including Trump, who is now the 2024 GOP presidential nominee. His right ear was grazed by a bullet. “The failure to secure a complex of buildings, portions of which were within approximately 130 yards of the protectee and containing numerous positions carrying high-angle line of sight risk, represents a critical security failure,” the report states. “Relying on a general understanding that ‘the locals have that area covered’ is simply not good enough and, in fact, at Butler this attitude contributed to the security failure." The report found several communications problems that were caused, in part, by having two separate command posts at rally site for local law enforcement and the Secret Service. "This created, at the highest level, a structural divide in the flow of communications," reads the report. In a letter attached to the report, the panel said another incident like Butler could happen again without significant reform within the agency. “The Secret Service as an agency requires fundamental reform to carry out its mission,” the authors of the report wrote to Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. “Without that reform, the Independent Review Panel believes another Butler can and will happen again.” The panel members include Mark Filip, deputy attorney general under former President George W. Bush; Janet Napolitano, Homeland security secretary under former President Barack Obama; David Mitchell, who has served in state and local law enforcement positions in Maryland and Delaware; and Frances Fragos Townsend, a homeland security to Bush.

CQC Inspections Fall To Second Lowest Level Since 2016 – New Data Shows Photo Credit : @DC Studio via Freep!k https://buff.ly/3YTT1xU Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspections have fallen to their second lowest level in almost 10 years, as the day-to-day regulatory function of the public body continues to lag behind pre-pandemic activity. According to new data, physical inspections by the CQC have dropped from a peak of almost 23,000 in 2016, to just less than 8,000 in 2023 – a marginal increase on 2020 figures, which showed that 7,711 inspections were carried out during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Of the 107 inspections with an overall rating of ‘Requires Improvement’ or ‘Inadequate’, only four have resulted in completed and published full Quality Statement reviews. The fall in inspections also coincides with the commencement of the CQC’s new operating model, which may account for some of the reduction. Bill Dunkerley, regulatory associate partner at Pannone Corporate, which conducted the annual research under the Freedom of Information Act, commented: “Despite the fanfare and extensive publications to promote its introduction, the CQC’s new regulatory model has had something of an inauspicious start. “The regulator was hopeful that its new approach would enable it to be more dynamic in its assessment of services, and permit more contemporaneous data collection to take place. Far from becoming a more proactive, dynamic and responsive agency, as the data shows, the CQC is becoming more sedentary in its approach.” The research shows that despite an increase in the number of concerns being received by the CQC, the total number of regulatory actions taken by the Commission has fallen year-on-year and currently sits at around half of pre-lockdown levels (10,618 in 2019; 5,783 in 2023). Although there was a clear drop-off in the number of regulatory actions in 2020, figures have remained consistently low since then, compared with upwards of 15,000 each year in the period following the CQC’s receipt of enhanced powers in 2015. In addition, the use of warning notices has dropped significantly, from a peak figure of just over 1,500 during 2015 to less than 600 in 2023. Despite a flurry of prosecutions over the last few years, the annual figures also show that prosecutions are decreasing rapidly. There are currently 121 open criminal investigations concerning specific incidents or unregistered providers. Dunkerley added: “To be an effective regulator going forwards, and one with real teeth, the CQC has to combine its new inspection and assessment framework with meaningful regulatory activity. Whilst to date, the CQC could have been seen to be relatively proactive – undertaking inspections of providers at fairly reasonable intervals – an inherent danger within its ‘data-driven’ approach is that this may result in it becoming reactive, as recent data perhaps tends to indicate. “At the end of the day, the CQC’s new regu…

Typhoon Gaemi to make landfall tomorrow: CWA Tropical Storm Gaemi strengthened into a typhoon at 2pm yesterday, and could make landfall in Yilan County tomorrow, the Central Weather Administration (CWA) said yesterday. The agency was scheduled to issue a sea warning at 11:30pm yesterday, and could issue a land warning later today. Gaemi was moving north-northwest at 4kph, carrying maximum sustained winds near its center of up to 118.8kph and gusts of 154.8kph. The circumference is forecast to reach eastern Taiwan tomorrow morning, with the center making landfall in Yilan County later that night before departing from the north coast, CWA weather forecaster Kuan Shin-ping (官欣平) said yesterday. Uncertainty remains and continued observation is needed, as Gaemi appears to be adjusting its course, he said. Another CWA forecaster, Liu Yu-chi (劉宇其), said that Gaemi could turn more southward or northward, but either way, it would affect Taiwan. The storm is to affect the nation the most from tomorrow to Thursday, and could also affect Matsu after it reaches the northern Taiwan Strait on Thursday and Friday, Liu said. Kuan said that Gaemi would not accelerate until tomorrow morning, as its structure has yet to form fully. The storm would bring rainfall mainly to northern Taiwan, Yilan County and the mountainous areas, he said. Liu added that Gaemi would also bring strong winds and extremely heavy rain in central and southern Taiwan. Kuan warned of flooding or even saltwater encroachment in western Taiwan and along the Tamsui River, as well as rogue waves in coastal areas of northern, eastern and southwestern Taiwan, including Orchid Island, Green Island and Matsu. #Typhoon season
