Several mutilated bodies were found discarded in plastic sacks at a rubbish dump in a slum of Nairobi in Kenya. A report by a news agency on Saturday (July 13) said that the bodies were discovered on Friday in Mukuru, south of Nairobi. On Saturday, Kenyan police were searching through the dump watched by angry crowds. The country's police watchdog has said it is investigating whether there is any police involvement in the gruesome discovery. An investigation was launched into the incident. The link to ongoing anti-govt stir AFP reported that the Independent Police Oversight Authority (IPOA) is also looking into claims of abductions of demonstrators who went missing after widespread anti-government protests. Local media reported that more bags containing human remains had been recovered by police from rubbish-strewn waters at a garbage site in an abandoned quarry. A day earlier, police said the severely mutilated bodies of six women tied up in plastic bags were found in the dumpsite, causing shock and anger among locals. Also read | Kenya: President Ruto dismisses nearly entire cabinet after anti-government protests The IPOA pointed out that bodies, wrapped in bags and secured by nylon ropes, had visible marks of torture and mutilation. The Kenyan police are already under sharp scrutiny after dozens of people were killed during the demonstrations in June. The police are feared and face frequent allegations of extrajudicial killings but are seldom convicted. Was there involvement of police? IPOA said on Saturday as the police investigations unfolded into the discovery of bodies in Nairobi, it was "keenly independently undertaking preliminary inquiries to establish whether there was any police involvement in the deaths, or failure to act to prevent them." The agency also called for public help in its investigations into reports of abductions, unlawful arrests and disappearances during the anti-government protests. (With inputs from agencies)

US President Joe Biden took the stage in front of Michigan voters on Friday (Jul 12), insisting that he was 'OK' for the run-in against former president Donald Trump but ended up making another gaffe.

US President Joe Biden took the stage in front of Michigan voters on Friday (Jul 12), insisting that he was 'OK' for the run-in against former president Donald Trump but ended up making another gaffe. Biden was campaigning in the crucial swing state, a day after misidentifying Volodymyr Zelensky and Kamala Harris as President Putin and Trump respectively in his public speeches. “I promise you, I am – I’m OK,” said Biden to his supporters at a restaurant before heading to the larger rally in Detroit. "Folks, you've probably noticed, there’s a lot of speculation lately 'What’s Joe Biden going to do? Is he going to stay in the race? Is he going to drop out? I am running and we're going to win. I'm not going to change that," he added during the main event at Renaissance High School in Detroit. Attempting to shout out Democrat leader Rep. Debbie Dingell - a five-term congresswoman, Biden made the error, catching flak from opponents yet again. “Members of Congress – Debbie Haley,” Biden said. “And by the way, I want you to know that I’ve spent a lot of time with Debbie,” he added. “She helped me a lot.” Afterwards, Biden made comparisons of Dingell’s resemblance to his wife, First Lady Jill Biden. “I forget which event we were at, and someone said, you’re [Dingell] his wife, aren’t you?” Biden, who didn’t correct the gaffe, admitted much later in the event that “sometimes I confuse names". Watch | US: Joe Biden introduces Ukraine President Zelensky as 'President Putin' × Biden's twin gaffes During the last day of the NATO Summit in Washington, Biden mistakenly referred to his Ukrainian counterpart, President Volodymyr Zelensky as "President Putin" "And now I want to hand it over to the president of Ukraine, who has as much courage as he has determination, ladies and gentlemen, President Putin,” Biden said. “Going to beat President Putin, President Zelensky. I am so focused on beating Putin,” he said as a number of European leaders clapped hesitantly, including German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni. Meanwhile, Zelensky responded to Biden’s comments by stating: “I am better (than Putin).” Also read | Obama and Pelosi souring on Biden, privately express concerns: Report Later during his highly-anticipated solo press conference in Washington, Biden made another gaffe by referring to Vice President Kamala Harris as “Vice President Trump”. “Look, I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president [if] I think she’s not qualified to be president,” Biden said, confusing his trusted ally with former President Donald Trump. Later on Friday, billionaire Richard Branson also released a statement and urged Biden to ‘make the right decision’ and ‘step aside’. He stated that Biden's wish to carry on in the presidential race had created ‘a dangerous distraction' from the more important political issues. (With inputs from agencies)

North Korea expressed strong condemnation for the declaration issued at the recent NATO summit, according to KCNA, the state news agency, on Saturday (Jul&nbsp;13).

The NATO countries stressed a membership vow for Ukraine and took a stronger stance on China's support for Russia in a declaration this week at the summit in Washington.

"The "Washington Summit Declaration," cooked up and made public on July 10, goes to prove that the U.S. and NATO, reduced to a tool for its confrontation, pose the most serious threat to the global peace and security,"&nbsp;North Korea's state media KCNA quoted a foreign ministry spokesperson as saying.

North Korea further claimed that US&nbsp;efforts to strengthen military alliances with NATO and Asian countries like South Korea and Japan are a significant factor in heightened regional tensions, a worsening global security situation, and a potential arms race.

Notably, the summit declaration called on China to end all material and political support for Russia's war effort.&nbsp;

It also accused Iran and North Korea of encouraging Russia's war in Ukraine by supplying direct military support to Moscow.

On the other side, South Korea and the United States on the sidelines of a NATO summit signed a guideline on establishing an integrated system of extended deterrence for the Korean peninsula to counter nuclear and military threats from North Korea.

<h2>China slams NATO's accusation that Beijing is helping Russia</h2>

The Chinese government on Friday (Jul&nbsp;12) slammed the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) over the accusation that Beijing was helping Russia in its war in Ukraine.

Argentina has declared the Palestinian Islamist group&nbsp;Hamas&nbsp;an "international terrorist organization" over its October 7 assault on Israel and an "extensive history" of attacks, the presidency announced.

"The&nbsp;Hamas&nbsp;group has been declared by the Argentine state as an international terrorist organization," the office of libertarian President Javier Milei said in a statement Friday night, citing "an extensive record of terrorist attacks on their behalf."

The statement added that Milei, who has presented himself as a close ally of Israel, "has an unwavering commitment to recognize terrorists for what they are."

The October 7&nbsp;Hamas&nbsp;attack on southern Israel resulted in 1,195 deaths, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli figures. The militants also took 251 hostages, 116 of whom remain in Gaza, including 42 the military says are dead.&nbsp;

Israel responded with a military offensive that has killed at least 38,345 people in Gaza, also mostly civilians, according to the health ministry in the&nbsp;Hamas-ruled territory.

The European Union and the United States also consider&nbsp;Hamas&nbsp;a terrorist organization.&nbsp;

Milei visited Israel in February,&nbsp;where he made waves by likening&nbsp;Hamas's attack to the Holocaust and announced plans to move the Argentinian embassy to Jerusalem.

The president grew up Catholic but has displayed an enthusiasm for orthodox Jewish thought, regularly consulting with a rabbi and describing himself last year as a "Torah scholar".

His staunch support for Israel has sparked fears that Argentina's Jewish community could be&nbsp;vulnerable to attack.

Argentina has the largest Jewish community in Latin America, with some 300,000 members.&nbsp;It is also home to immigrant communities from the Middle East -- from Syria and Lebanon in particular.

Milei's office also condemned&nbsp;Hamas's "link" with Iran.

In April, Argentina expressed its "solidarity and unwavering commitment" to Israel following an Iranian strike targeting Israel.

According to a report by ABC News, the girl was in the car for about three hours on Tuesday. During the initial investigation, Scholtes told the police that he left the vehicle running, and the air conditioning on while parking it in the driveway of the house to avoid waking his daughter. After he went inside, his wife arrived home and found her daughter unresponsive inside the vehicle, which was no longer running, and the air conditioning was turned off, the police said. It's not yet known how the car shut down. CPR performed on toddler but she died A report by People said that the mother performed CPR on her daughter until emergency personnel arrived and performed additional life-saving measures. The toddler was then transported to Banner University Medical Center, where she was pronounced dead. After obtaining a search warrant and accessing surveillance from nearby residences, the police learned that the two-year-old had been in the vehicle for approximately three hours, leading to her father's arrest. A reminder to parents In a statement, the Marana Police Department said that this incident was a stark reminder of the dangers of leaving children unattended in vehicles. "The temperature inside a vehicle can rise rapidly, even on relatively mild days, leading to potentially fatal outcomes within minutes," the statement said.

Police in Italy said on Saturday (July 13) that they freed 33 Indian farm labourers from slave-like working conditions in the northern Verona province, the news agency Reuters reported.

Police in Italy said on Saturday (July 13) that they freed 33 Indian farm labourers from slave-like working conditions in the northern Verona province, the news agency Reuters reported. The police also said that they seized $545,300 (around €500,000) from the alleged abusers of these labourers. The abusers, who are also from India, brought fellow nationals to Italy on seasonal work permits, asking them to pay 17,000 euros each and promising them a better future, the police added. The working conditions Reuters reported that the migrants were given farm jobs, working seven days a week and 10-12 hours a day for just $4.37 per hour, which was entirely docked from them until they settled all their debts. According to the police, some of the labourers were asked to continue working for free to pay an additional $14,197 for a permanent work permit "which, in reality, would have never been given to them." Victims to be offered legal residency The police further said the abusers were charged with crimes connected to slavery and labour exploitation, and the victims would be offered protection, work opportunities and legal residency papers. Italy, like other countries in Europe, faces growing labour shortages that are often filled via immigration, particularly in lower-paid jobs. The country has a migrant work visa system that has faced cases of fraud. This incident comes after an Indian fruit picker died after his arm was severed by machinery in June.
