ABC caught using Gaza footage to depict Russian strike on Ukraine (VIDEO)
An affiliate of US broadcaster ABC has aired footage of the chaos in Gaza to report on an alleged Russian strike on the Ukrainian city of Kharkov. The segment was broadcast last week on ABC's South Florida affiliate, WPLG Local 10, but only recently captured attention. The outlet reported on an alleged Russian attack on Kharkov, which Ukrainian officials claimed killed at least four people, while the visuals showed glaring inconsistencies. Instead of showing an Eastern European landscape or heavily urbanized areas, the video showed a large crowd of people, some of whom were women wearing hijabs, scrambling for cover across desert terrain. The ABC affiliate has made no public comment on the apparent error. The outlet's YouTube page is missing the report, which has apparently been deleted. However, its verified X account still features the story, accompanied by a screenshot from Gaza, prompting derision from several users. RT Editor-in-Chief Margarita Simonyan quipped at the clip, writing: 'Oh, never mind. Their audience couldn't find either place on the map.' In recent weeks, Moscow has launched attacks on Ukrainian military-linked targets to retaliate for a drastic increase in drone raids and sabotage attempts in Russia. The Russian military insists that its attacks never target civilians.

Riots over immigration raids in LA continue despite curfew (VIDEOS)
Protests in Los Angeles over federal immigration enforcement raids have continued despite a curfew and US President Donald Trump's authorization of National Guard and Marine deployments. According to the Los Angeles Police Department, groups of rioters continued to gather downtown as mass arrests were initiated. The protests erupted on Friday after federal agents detained several individuals as part of Trump's immigration crackdown. Mass demonstrations quickly escalated into riots, widespread looting, vandalism, and violent clashes with police. Videos online showed protesters torching police cars and US flags, blocking highways, waving signs condemning Trump's immigration policies, and carrying Mexican flags. Nearly 400 arrests have been reported, with several hundred protesters and multiple law enforcement officers injured. 4) Protesters continued to march and drive around Los Angeles well past the 8pm curfew, although it was unclear where exactly the line was drawn as to the zone of left a wake of graffiti like "f*** ICE" in their path. In response, LA Mayor Karen Bass announced a curfew that took effect Wednesday night from 8pm to 6am, covering a one-square-mile area in downtown LA. Prior to this, Trump deployed at least 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 active-duty Marines to Los Angeles to protect federal officials, law enforcement, and government property. #BREAKING Los Angeles, California About a dozen rowdy people playing with the cops, LAPD is getting good practice with these guys,Curfew Worked,Arrests worked - however a lot of them moved into Long Beach to protest. But LA is calm for the exception of a couple people. California Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the deployment as unlawful and filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, accusing it of violating state sovereignty. WATCH: LAPD continues to mobilize in downtown Los Angeles as the anti-ICE protest and riots continue, despite Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass ordering a temporary curfew.@TPUSA | @ Trump defended the federal response, calling the protests 'a full-scale assault on peace and public order,' and rioters 'agitators and troublemakers.' 7-Eleven store took on the anti-ICE rioters in LA and employees' relentless and righteous resolve created the opportunity for a rare sane protestor to make the insane rioters feel defeated enough to move on. 'Somebody is paying for it,' he said, claiming that the demonstrations were being funded by outside groups. Speaking at Fort Bragg, North Carolina on Wednesday, Trump advised Newsom to 'get his act together' and try to calm the unrest, while calling for jail time for protesters who burn US flags. President Trump calls for a 1-year prison sentence for those burning the US flag. He previously did so on the campaign trail. 'People that burn the American flag should go to jail for one year. And we'll see if we can get that done,' Trump said, adding that his administration is working with senators to pass the legislation. Trump has so far left open the possibility of invoking the Insurrection Act, one of the most extreme emergency powers available to a president, which allows the military to be deployed inside the US to suppress rebellion. Speaking to reporters earlier this week, Trump said 'we will see' when asked about invoking the Insurrection Act.
