European Conservative Parties Gain More Wins

After Donald Trump won the U.S. presidential election, he will find across the Atlantic a hotbed of political parties that share his conservative views mix of authoritarianism, populism and disdain for illegal immigration.

This is the rise of the European far right, which reached a high-water mark on 29 September when Austria’s Freedom Party won the largest share of votes — 28.9 percent — in the national election. The FPÖ, as it’s known, wants to "remigrate" Austrian nationals with migrant roots to create a more "homogenous" society.

"Rotunbots" Patrol Chinese Streets

Criminals in Eastern China will now find themselves face-to-face with mechanical authorities after streets are now being pattrolled by rolling robots that can chase down suspects — and, most likely, beat them in a fight.

As the South China Morning Post reports, cops in the city of Wenzhou in Zhejiang province have lately been flanked by the spherical robot that looks a bit like a militarized version of the cutesy BB-8 robot in "Star Wars."

BBC Criticized For Calling "Palestinian Gunman" An "Innocent Civilian"

For years now, many suspect that the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) has been bias against Israel and refuse to acknowledge that Palestinian gunmen are not innocent civilians. The broadcaster was also suspected of failing to inform viewers that many of the Palestinians killed in clashes with Israeli soldiers were fighters with terror groups such as Hamas.

Recently, a research by the Committee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting and Analysis (Camera) has highlighted numerous broadcast reports and online stories by BBC Arabic, which it claims failed to reveal the full circumstances surrounding the death of more than 30 Palestinians.
