"The UK government has presented draft amendments to the Investigatory Powers Act (IPA) – otherwise known as “Snoopers Charter,” a highly controversial piece of legislation allowing for wide-scale spying by intelligence agencies.
The plan now is to specify that the authorities have the right to carry out mass surveillance of an internet service within a specific timeframe – and do so “dragnet-style,” by spying on all users of that service during a given time."
"One of the things that came out of the plan being publicly presented by the UK’s king last Tuesday was that there was an idea to introduce the power of veto if and when privately-owned (mostly US) social platforms decide to usher in some “privacy-friendly” features.
Some reports mention that one of the proposed provisions would mean that should globally operating tech/social media companies decide to increase security of their products (the implication here is not difficult to make – it highly likely refers to encryption), they would have to have the UK spying community’s “blessing” first."

terms that contain interactions of w^+- vector gauge bosons with members of lepton family. fermions involved expanded into + and - energy modes from such we get, for example, the term for the decay of w^+ vector bosons into an outgoing neutrino and outgoing positron, the anti-particle of electron

Salmon are disappearing from Scotland's rivers. We need to act fast. Creating Riverwoods is a new collection of short films and stories showcasing the work of landowners, gamekeepers and fisheries experts, all committed to reversing this trend: https://bit.ly/3QvwFNk
We abide by rules as long as those laws suit us
Can the Oct 7 survivors and victims families do the same against Hamas?
I suppose given what is going on in Gaza, our support for Israel then international law is clearly optional.

@zleap Exactly, the point that is being made by the Court is that this is a “core principle of International Law” across various treaties and also custom, so that you cannot get out of by leaving the ECHR. Nor can you get out of it by banging on about parliamentary sovereignty and passing a law that knowingly breaches international law.

Hello science friends! Can anyone point me towards some resources that I could use learn how to do a de novo genome assembly from long reads (@nanopore)? Mammalian species, no reference genome exists. An equally exciting and daunting task.... Please share #neuroscience #genomics

#UKSupremeCourt is unanimous that the #Rwanda scheme is unlawful because Rwanda cannot currently be trusted not to return asylum seekers to a country where their life or freedom will be threatened (non-refoulement).
It is also clear that this is based on international treaties including the 1967 Refugee Convention, the 1984 Torture Convention, the ICCPR, the ECHR , as well as several pieces of domestic law including but not limited to the HRA.

I am not sure how creating a new law in the UK will work if the ew law basically makes international law not relevant.
Does this means there are actual TANKS in the hospital?

Enforced 3 UK laws and international law. We need to invest in ways to provide asylum processing from outside the UK AND undercut the people smugglers.
No problem, easily done, I have sent article to my self via e-mail to read more fully later
Well it failed the tests as Rwanda has failed to abide by conventions signed up to, and has sent people back to their home countries.
So how DO we tackle the people traffickers as I guess many are out side normal national jurisdictions, so would they fall under international courts?
So a science question here if "methamphetamine often smells like urine, " does this mean there are similar functional groups that cause this? Not sure if they are called aromatics but I am not mixing up aromatic and aromas on a molecular level.
