As the war between Russia and Ukraine drags on, it seems like drone strikes or artillery fire are not the only dangers faced by the Russian troops on the frontlines. A recent report by Ukraine claims that Moscow’s soldiers are suffering due to the outbreak of so-called “mouse fever” or “rat-bite fever” on the Kupyansk frontline.&nbsp;

According to the report, the disease that causes people to bleed from their eyes, suffer from severe headaches and vomit several times a day is “mowing down” frontline Russian troops.

<h2>What does the report say?</h2>

The outbreak of the so-called “mouse fever” – a viral disease – has been recorded in many units of the Russian forces near Ukraine’s Kupyansk frontline, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence’s main directorate of intelligence said in a post on its official Telegram channel.

The illness spread by rodents is said to be affecting Russian soldiers “en masse”. However, Russian commanders dismissed the troops’ concerns, claimed the Ukrainian defence ministry.&nbsp;

The infection transmits to humans through direct contact with rodents carrying the bacteria, as well as inhalation of their urine, faeces, or mucous secretions.&nbsp;

Symptoms of the infection include severe headache, body temperature rising to 40 degrees Celsius, rashes and redness, decreased blood pressure, haemorrhages in the eyes, nausea and vomiting several times a day, according to the report by Ukraine.&nbsp;

However, Kyiv has claimed that Russian commanders have ignored these concerns and consider it an excuse to avoid fighting, saying that “at the first stage of the course, ‘mouse fever’ resembles an ordinary flu.”&nbsp;

“In the Kupyansk direction of the front of the occupiers, mouse fever is mowing down en masse,” said the Ukrainian agency on Telegram. It added, “As a result, mouse fever significantly reduced the fighting ability of Russian rats.”

The disease is also affecting the Russian soldiers’ kidneys, causing intense pain in their lower back and severe difficulty in urinating, Ukrainian officials claimed.

The Iranian government has come up with new plans to clamp down on women who are defying the hijab dress code.

As per documents obtained by BBC Persian from the months of April and May, the government might plan on setting up "mobile courts" to punish the ones violating the dress code.

The documents reveal that even schoolgirls and celebrities would face the brunt of the dress code breach with girls facing action by the education ministry and celebrities being charged up to 10-year-imprisonment over "promoting corruption".

According to BBC Persian, Iran's government has not yet commented on these reports.

However, an Iranian newspaper that published a concise section of one of the directives has been charged with publicising classified documents.

Out of those, some directives were incorporated in the controversial "Hijab and Chastity Bill" which at present is under review by the Guardian Council watchdog before being converted into a law.

As per the leaked documents, Interior Minister Ahmad Vahidi gave the go-ahead to a slew of directives&nbsp;to coordinate action by the government and other entities in order to address the issue of women not adorning hijabs, months prior to when the parliament began debating the hijab bill.

<h2>Iran's stricter hijab bill</h2>

Earlier in September, Iran’s parliament passed a new bill imposing strict punishment on women defying the hijab laws and the ones backing them.

Called the Chastity and Hijab Bill, it will be implemented on a trial basis for three years wherein women can face up to 10 years in prison and can be fined between 180mn and 360mn rials ($3,651-$7,302).

The bill also extends punishments to business owners who serve women not wearing the mandatory headscarf and activists who organise against it.

The move came just days after the anniversary of 22-year-old Mahsa Amini's demise, whose custodial death on Sept 16, 2022, on account of defying hijab laws, sparked months of anti-hijab protests in which many called for the overthrow of Iran's theocracy.

Although the protests faded early this year following a massive crackdown on dissenters, many women continued to flout the hijab rules in public.

Switzerland's capital city, Bern, is contemplating a pilot programme that would test the legal sale of drugs&nbsp;for recreational use. This unprecedented initiative is aimed at addressing the country's widespread drug use by providing a regulated and safer alternative.

The proposal has gained support from Bern's parliament, although it requires a change in federal law for implementation.

Advocates are reportedly arguing that the traditional "war on drugs" has failed, and innovative approaches such as legalisation could offer better control over the market and promote safer usage.

"The war on drugs has failed, and we have to look at new ideas," said Eva Chen, a Bern council member from the Alternative Left Party. "Control and legalisation can do better than mere repression."

This move is aligned with a global shift in drug policies, with an increasing number of countries and US states adopting measures such as decriminalisation and the legal recreational use of marijuana.

Several European countries, including Spain, Italy, and Portugal, have already moved away from issuing prison sentences for drug possession charges.

Wastewater studies analysing illicit drug presence reportedly revealed that wealthy Swiss cities, including Zurich, Basel, and Geneva, rank among the top European cities for drug use.

The prevalence of drug use in these cities, as well as in Bern, has surged in recent years due to a dramatic drop in prices.

However, proponents of the pilot programme are saying that there is a&nbsp;need to acknowledge the reality of widespread drug use.&nbsp;

"We can't change that, so we should try to ensure people use it in the safest, least damaging way," stated Thilo Beck from the Arud Zentrum for Addiction Medicine.

The pilot programme is still in the early stages, with crucial details such as the source and distribution of the drug under development. The education, social affairs, and sports directorate are currently preparing a report on the potential pilot project.

Sri Lankan Foreign Minister in Kathmandu: To attend Nepal-Sri Lanka Joint Commission meeting

Colorado Supreme Court judges—who ruled against Donald Trump, prohibiting him from contesting in the state's primary next year citing his role in the Jan 6 attacks—have been receiving online threats, according to a report.

The report by Advance Democracy, a nonpartisan, nonprofit organisation that conducts public interest research, has claimed to have found "significant violent rhetoric" against the justices and Democrats on the Trump-owned social media platform Truth Social.

They found that some social media users posted justices' email addresses, phone numbers and office building addresses, reports NBC News.

<h2>Online vitriol by Trump's supporters</h2>

"This ends when we kill these f--kers," a user wrote on a pro-Trump forum that was used by several Jan. 6 rioters.

"What do you call 7 justices from the Colorado Supreme Court at the bottom of the ocean?" asked another user. "A good start."

Many of the online hate posts had details about the methods that can be used to kill Trump’s so-called enemies.

Speaking to NBC News, President of the Advance Democracy Daniel J Jones expressed concerns over the consistency of the violent threats and rhetoric being used against the judges.

“We are seeing significant violent language and threats being made against the Colorado justices and others perceived to be behind yesterday’s Colorado Supreme Court ruling," Jones, a former FBI investigator and staffer for the Senate Intelligence Committee, said in a statement.

"The normalisation of this type of violent rhetoric — and lack of remedial action by social media entities — is cause for significant concern," he said.

"Trump’s statements, which have sought to delegitimize and politicize the actions of the courts, is serving as a key driver of the violent rhetoric. Political leaders on both sides of the political aisle need to speak out against these calls for violence, and social media platforms need to reassess their role in hosting and promoting this rhetoric.”

<h2>Donald Trump reacts</h2>

The former president slammed the ruling on Truth Social, saying, “WHAT A SHAME FOR OUR COUNTRY!!! A SAD DAY IN AMERICA!!!”

Trump’s campaign had previously said it would “swiftly file an appeal” to the US Supreme Court, where conservatives hold a six to three majority.&nbsp;

<h2>Biden responds to Colorado court ruling</h2>

In his first response to the Colorado Supreme Court’s decision, Biden told reporters Wednesday there is “no question” Trump supported an insurrection on the US Capitol. “Well I think certainly it’s self-evident,” said the incumbent president.&nbsp;

Israel PM Netanyahu rules out Gaza ceasefire before 'elimination' of Hamas

The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) has said that Hamas's top leader Yahya Sinwar narrowly evaded capture during its combat operations in southern Gaza.

According to Israeli media reports on Wednesday (Dec 20), Sinwar is believed to be hiding in tunnels under Gaza’s southern city of Khan Younis, after fleeing the north by hiding in a humanitarian convoy moving to the south during the early days of the terror group’s war with Israel.

It is reported that Sinwar managed to escape just before the Israeli forces arrived.

According to Channel 13, IDF has been primarily focusing its operations around Khan Younis city in order to achieve its goal of killing Sinwar.

On Sunday, they raided the homes of several Hamas leaders, Sinwar being one of them.

<h2>Sinwar evading capture&nbsp;</h2>

The IDF intelligence believes that Sinwar has never remained stationary in one place and has constantly been on the move for an extended period.

On December 6, the IDF reportedly surrounded his home in Khan Younis despite there being no indication that he was residing there. It is understood that he owns multiple homes and has been hiding in one of them.

Yahya Sinwar is suspected to have engineered Hamas's&nbsp;October 7 attack on Israel, which killed at least 1200 Israelis, including civilians. He replaced Ismail Haniyeh to become the leader of Hamas in Gaza in 2017.&nbsp;Haniyeh resides in Qatar and serves as the chair of the terror group’s political bureau.

Born in the Khan Younis refugee camp, the 61-year-old was elected Hamas&nbsp;leader in Gaza in 2017.

He spent more than two decades behind bars in Israel, before being freed 12 years ago in a deal his brother helped negotiate.

He was arrested in 1988 and sentenced to consecutive life terms after being accused of&nbsp;planning the abduction and murder of two Israeli soldiers and the murder of four Palestinians.

He previously headed the Al-Majd security apparatus which tracked, killed, and punished Palestinians accused of collaborating with Israel's secret service before he was jailed.

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar again gives the slip to Israeli troops, narrowly evades capture

Poland's Culture Ministry announced the suspension of a public news channel on Wednesday (Dec 20), along with the removal of executives from state media, citing the need to restore "impartiality" as a cornerstone of new Prime Minister Donald Tusk's reform agenda.

With this, a war of words has erupted between Tusk's Civic Platform, the largest party in the ruling government, and the Law and Justice (PiS) party, as the new government took decisive action to reform the media landscape in the country that has been touted as a mouthpiece for PiS.&nbsp;

Donald Tusk's return to power after nine years, securing parliamentary support for his government, is seeing a political shift.&nbsp;Tusk's reform plans encountered immediate resistance from the PiS, as dismissals at state television (TVP), radio, and news agency PAP unfolded in the wake of a parliamentary resolution calling for the restoration of public media impartiality.

PiS strongly criticised the moves, with some politicians appearing at state broadcaster TVP headquarters, prompting police intervention.

Protesters also gathered outside TVP offices in various cities.

Tusk is a former European Council president who served in the position from 2014 to 2019. His pro-European Union coalition replaced the nationalist PiS party, which critics argue had undermined judicial independence and exploited state-owned media for propaganda during its eight-year tenure.

The state-run 24-hour news channel TVP Info, known for its criticism of Tusk, was taken off air. Reacting to this, Civic Platform said on the social media platform, "The end of TVPiS."

<h2>Tusk pledges balanced media&nbsp;</h2>

The government pledged to establish stations with a more balanced approach to public service broadcasting.

Supporters of TVP Info argued that shutting it down would diminish pluralism by silencing a conservative voice aligned with PiS's stance on EU migration debates.

After almost half a century behind bars, a black man in the US has been exonerated of a homicide charge — the longest serving inmate to be vindicated. 70-year-old Glynn Simmons, a resident of Louisiana, was put behind bars for the 1974 murder of Carolyn Sue Rogers.

<h2>A tale of resilience</h2>

Announcing the exoneration, Oklahoma County District Judge Amy Palumbo said: "This court finds by clear and convincing evidence that the offence for which Mr Simmons was convicted, sentenced and imprisoned… was not committed by Mr Simmons."

Simmons, who spent 48 years, one month and 18 days in jail, said that he feels vindicated. With this, he has become the longest-serving wrongfully convicted person in the United States.&nbsp;

Addressing the media at a press conference, Simmons exclaimed, "It's a lesson in resilience and tenacity."

"Don't let nobody tell you that it (exoneration) can't happen, because it really can," he added.&nbsp;

<h2>Carolyn Sue Rogers</h2>

On December 30, 1974, Carolyn Sue Rogers, a clerk at the Edmond liquor store in Oklahoma, was fatally shot during a robbery.&nbsp;

Subsequently, another woman who had been shot in the robbery identified Simmons as the perpetrator, picking him out of a line-up. Due to this, Simmons was given the death penalty in 1975. However, in 1977, the US Supreme Court reduced his sentence to life in prison.&nbsp;

During the trial, and since, the accused kept insisting on his innocence. He claimed that at the time of the robbery,&nbsp;he was in Louisiana and not&nbsp;in Oklahoma.

Finally, in July 2023, at the request of DA Behenna, Judge Palumbo vacated Simmons' conviction and ordered a new trial.&nbsp;

In September 2023, DA Behenna announced that she'll be requesting a dismissal of the case, and said: "The District Attorney determined the state will not be able to meet its burden at trial and prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Simmons was responsible for Ms. Rogers’ murder."

As per the Death Penalty Information Center, the DA revealed that there was no longer any physical evidence and that the witnesses, detectives, were deceased or unavailable.&nbsp;

With the exoneration, Simmons is now eligible for $175,000 in compensation from the state for wrongful conviction. As per BBC, he is currently battling cancer, and a GoFundMe campaign has raised thousands of dollars for his living costs and chemotherapy.
