Banned Inner City Press has asked in writing, "What conflict of interest rules apply to UN official Mark Carney, given his positions with Brookfield, and it seems PIMCO and Stripe?
Inner City Press has asked, "what are the comments and actions if any of SG Guterres on that Mozambique’s opposition Renamo has demanded that parliament hold an session to discuss the presence of foreign forces fighting armed groups in the Cabo Delgado province?
Inner City Press has asked, "Also, as with Angolo / Dos Santos, on which you have not answer, disclose any and all assistance to Guterres' term(s) as UNSG provided by Mozambique or its governmental leaders."
Banned Inner City Press asked, "On UN retaliating against whistleblowers, what is SG Guterres' response to statements by Emma Reilly on steps to fire her by end of August, under a UN claim that whether names of Uighur dissidents were given to China is irrelevant?
Banned Inner City Press this morning in writing asked @UN_Spokesperson "what are the comments & actions if any of SG Guterres on that rebels from Ethiopia's northern region of Tigray have captured the historic town of Lalibela." Nada - #TodaysUNisUseless
So @UN_Spokesperson@StephDujarric ends by lying that there are no more questions on his phone - Inner City Press has emailed him and @MelissaFleming this morning questions on Haiti, Emma Reilly, Mozambique, conflicts of interest - no answers. #UNaccountable.

All rise!
Judge Hellerstein: I've read the papers.
Javice's lawyer Sullivan: Yes she is a dual citizen but there's no chance she'll flee to France. They have taken her passport. Let me hand you an exhibit about pilates.
Judge: I've had defendants jump bail in the middle of trial. I can't rule out the possibility of flight here. She's never been in this spot before.
Javice's lawyer: She'll be here in August [for sentencing]

AUSA: As Vance Brockington told you, Sev Side is a gang... The fact that the defendant is an artist does not absolve him - the defendant can't hide behind his music.
[Multiple songs played]
AUSA holds up guns, shows them to jury; white plastic on one signifies it is not operative
AUSA: This gun killed Hwascar Hernandez... Xavier Rosado, a rival gang member, gives you context -
as does Vance Brockington. He was shot in front of 4646 Park Avenue

AUSA: The five named plaintiffs will not be removed.
CJ Boasberg: Are they on planes to El Salvador?
No, is the answer.
Chief Judge Boasberg: Since you have appealed my ruling, I do not have jurisdiction to re-argue it here. So we will discuss class certification. Government?
AUSA: We opposed class certification, on grounds of venue and authority
