At UNSC it's a meeting about Central Africa, but with Inner City Press banned by @AntonioGuterres, no one asks any questions about Cameroon. Instead it's #Kashmir. Russia would not oppose a closed #sUNSC meeting to "reload the file." thread
@antonioguterres@silas_atefor@FUNCA_info@MatthewLeeICP@ngans15 Most UNSC meeting about UNOCA / Central Africa are open, so Inner City Press can cover them in real time even while banned by Antonio "Golden Statue" Guterres. But today's is closed door, on Guterres' report claiming "inclusive processes in #Cameroon. #corrupt
@antonioguterres@silas_atefor@FUNCA_info@MatthewLeeICP@ngans15 Now the closed door UNSC meeting on Central Africa is ending, no one says (or so far asks) anything. Looks like Amb Jonathan Cohen is *still* repping the US. Nothing said about the slaughter in Cameroon, Guterres taking Biya's golden statue

Judge Caproni: What's this about a social media post on Israel's actions in Gaza?
Defense: This goes to bias. The Alexander parents are citizens of Israel, and that's the only issue Victim 12 ever expressed views on.
AUSA: We don't think it goes to bias
Judge Caproni: Being against what Israel did in Gaza does not show bias - there are many Israeli citizens against it, just as there are many Americans against what is going on. I am not letting this in.
Defense: What about fake blog, purporting to be Miami Herald?
