According to police and court testimony, Jones helped pin the victim down while 13-year-old Nelson Nunez raped her for nearly 30 minutes at a community garden. When the girl
screamed in pain and begged them to stop, Jones allegedly shoved rocks into her mouth to silence her cries.
The judge kept Nunez locked up without bond ahead of trial, recognizing him as the primary assailant. Another suspect, 15-year-old Xavier

@Sajwani Giant railguns as "catapults" for payloads for deep space missions with no fuel, as lunar gravity is low.
@Sajwani This, combined with space-based solar power, ensures a massive energy supply for the AI/data centers.
New research by @LouMarieHSD and Prerana Joshi shows cyber attribution in the Global South isn’t binary, but a spectrum shaped by politics, economics and risk, challenging Western assumptions about ‘naming and shaming’ as a universal tool of cyber statecraft.
States balance signalling capability with risks: escalation, economic fallout and exposing vulnerabilities. Many prefer partial or no attribution, especially where conflict, trade ties or ‘saving face’ shape decision-making.
Private sector threat intelligence plays a major role. Some states rely on firms as a proxy for attribution, signalling awareness without official statements, raising questions about sovereignty and dependency.
The paper calls on policymakers to move beyond Western models, engaging Global South partners on their own terms, with better understanding of local decision-making, technical cultures and regional dynamics.

This paper builds on ongoing work like our video commentary 'The Challenge of Non-Western Cyber Attribution', showing how states like Ethiopia and China are shaping attribution, complicating trust and global norms. rusi.org/news-and-comme…
It also connects to global debates on accountability in cyberspace, highlighting gaps in who can attribute, how evidence is defined, and how Global South perspectives challenge Western-led norms amid rising cyber threats.
1/ Russia's Telegram ban and Internet blocks risk having a counter-productive effect similar to Prohibition in the US a century ago, warn Russian commentators – driving people to acts of civic resistance and pushing them into ideologically unsound spaces. ⬇️
2/ Sergey Kolyashnikov notes how the alcohol ban imposed on the US during Prohibition backfired by turning millions of people into lawbreakers and spurring the growth of the Italian mafia and others seeking to bypass the ban for profit. He sees a similar phenomenon now in Russia:

1/6 THE PRICE OF AMERICAN MONEY IS CHANGING. EVERYTHING DOWNSTREAM ADJUSTS.
How rising yields are repricing the world, from US mortgages to African debt
On March 20, a 30-year US Treasury bond sold at a yield of 4.96%. On the same day, the average American trying to buy a home was looking at a 30-year mortgage rate of 6.44%. Those two numbers are connected by a chain of logic that runs all the way to Nairobi, Islamabad, and Ankara, and most of the people at the end of that chain have no idea they are in it.
This is what rising bond yields actually do to the world.
The mechanism nobody explains
When bond prices fall, yields rise. When yields rise, the government has to pay more to borrow. When the government pays more to borrow, every other borrower in the economy, bank, company, homebuyer, also pays more, because US Treasuries set the floor under the entire global cost of money.
The 10-year Treasury yield is now above 4.2%, holding near its highest level since August. The 30-year bond touched 4.96%. Core PCE inflation accelerated to 3.1% in January, and that data predates the Iran war's energy spike entirely. The numbers that come next will be worse.
Government bonds, normally a refuge during geopolitical shocks, have joined the equity sell-off this time. When inflation is the problem, bonds do not provide shelter. The shock is transmitting through energy prices, not demand collapse.

2/6 America: the floor is moving
The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 6.33% as of March 19, with a dual surge in benchmark yields and risk premiums having eliminated nearly all room for downward movement. On a $400,000 loan, the difference between today's rate and the 3% era of 2021 costs a family roughly $850 more every single month. That is not a statistic. It is a car payment that disappears from the economy, every month, for 30 years.
Bright MLS chief economist Lisa Sturtevant put the stakes plainly: if the Iran conflict prolongs, the result may be not just a delay in the spring homebuying season, but a broader shift in the trajectory of a housing market that had been expected to rebound in 2026.
The federal government faces the same arithmetic. FY2025 ran a $1.8 trillion deficit. Every rollover of existing debt now locks in higher rates. The interest burden does not disappear when oil prices ease. It compounds. The OECD projects debt-to-GDP rising from 83% to 85% in 2026 as global sovereign borrowing hits a projected $29 trillion.

3/6 The developed world: everyone is running the same playbook
UK Gilt yields reached 4.8% on the 5-year and 4.3% on the 10-year as of mid-March, tracking the same inflation signal through the same energy channel. Germany, France, Japan: every developed economy is refinancing pandemic-era debt at rates 250 to 300 basis points above issuance. The difference between the developed and developing world is not the problem. It is the cushion available to absorb it.
Europe's cushion is thinner than it looks. Storage at 30% capacity. Qatar in force majeure. US LNG now supplying 57% of European imports.
On March 23, Washington stopped being subtle: the US ambassador to the EU warned Brussels to ratify the Turnberry trade deal without amendments or risk losing favourable access to American LNG shipments. The deal commits Europe to $750 billion in US energy purchases by 2028, covering LNG, oil, and civil nuclear.
Analysts at Rystad and the Atlantic Council note the commitment is non-binding on member states and companies. But the threat is real, and it is being issued into a Hormuz-constrained market where Europe has no alternative queue to join. Both sides are using the deal as leverage simultaneously. That is not a negotiation. That is coercion architecture with a thin diplomatic wrapper.

₹7,280 crore. 6,000 metric tonnes of sintered NdFeB magnet capacity. Up to 5 private manufacturers. Bids due May 28.

Here's how the money is structured 👇
The scheme is cleverly designed.
Only ₹750 crore is upfront capital. The remaining ₹6,450 crore is disbursed only when you actually produce and sell magnets.
No production. No money. India has learned from its PLI mistakes.

1/ FIND TODAY'S BEST OPTIONS TRADE
Act as a senior options trader who specializes in daily income strategies using S&P 500 credit spreads.
Scan today's market conditions and deliver a complete trade setup with exact strikes and risk parameters.
1. Ask for today's date, SPX price, VIX level, and any major economic events
2. Check market conditions — is today suitable for selling premium
3. Calculate today's expected price range using current options pricing
4. Set up put credit spread — short strike at low delta, long strike below for protection
5. Set up call credit spread — short strike at low delta, long strike above for protection
6. Define entry timing, stop-loss rules, and exit strategy
- Skip the trade if VIX is above 30 or a major economic event is scheduled
- Minimum $0.50 credit collected per spread — no exceptions
- Stop-loss triggers at 2x the premium collected
- Exit at 50% profit or let expire worthless

2/ READ THE MARKET BEFORE YOU TRADE
Act as a quantitative market strategist who classifies market conditions before placing any options trade.
Analyze today's market environment and tell me exactly which options strategy to run — or whether to sit in cash.
1. Ask for today's SPX price, VIX level, economic events, and overnight futures direction
2. Classify VIX regime — low, normal, elevated, or crisis
3. Assess market trend — range-bound or trending strongly
4. Compare implied vs realized volatility — is there an edge for sellers today
5. Check overnight gap risk and economic event density
6. Deliver a verdict: GREEN (trade aggressively), YELLOW (trade carefully), or RED (sit in cash)
- RED verdict means no trades today — no exceptions
- YELLOW verdict requires wider strike distances
- Every verdict must include a specific strategy recommendation
- Conflicting signals default to the more conservative verdict
