Trump revealed that the despot made it clear he feels he 'will have to respond' to the audacious drone assault. Inside Operation Spiderweb By Foreign News Reporter, James Halpin UKRAINE'S shock sleeper drone blitz on Russia's bomber fleet has delivered a hammer blow to Vladimir Putin's nuclear arsenal. The SAS-style strike against Volodymyr Zelensky oversaw Operation Spiderweb - much like Winston Churchill did as Britain struck deep behind enemy lines. Putin's doomsday bomber fleet is now crippled with 41, or a third, of his most prized aircraft lying in smouldering wrecks on tarmac. Ukraine said the sneak attack was worth $7bn (£5.2bn) in damage to Russia - caused by only 117 cheaply made drones. Ukraine's spies spent 18 months putting the plan into action and struck on the eve of The drones and the containers were smuggled into Russia separately and were pieced together right under Vlad's nose. Clueless lorry drivers then parked the containers next to Russian airbases - where they sat and waited in plain sight. Then, on the morning of June 1, the fleet of flying bombs rose over the far reaches of Russia - and the most daring military operation of the war began. Nondescript shipping containers parked in laybys and verges had attracted little attention - before their lids blew open and the drone swarms poured out. The craft buzzed as they took off into the air and only had to travel a short distance to their valuable targets. Each of the 117 drones had their own dedicated pilot and Russia had little defences to protect their bases and stop them. Drones with cameras sent video back to HQ in Ukraine of the moment craft struck their targets and explosions ripped into the sky. Thick black smoke climbed high, with civilians near the bases sending video of Ukraine's successes around the world. The furthest strike was Belaya Air Base - so far inside Russia that the closest neighbouring country is Mongolia. Olenya Air Base near Finland and Ivanovo and Dyagilevo near Moscow were also struck in the country's west.

Converting civil disputes with arbitration clause into criminal cases abuse of legal process: HC
Raipur: The Chhattisgarh high court has quashed an FIR filed against a trader in 2019, ruling that the dispute was civil and contractual in nature. The FIR, registered at Raipur's Deendayal Nagar Police Station, involved charges under the IPC Sections 406 and 420, pertaining to criminal breach of trust and cheating, respectively. A division bench of chief justice Ramesh Sinha and justice Arvind Kumar Verma, citing Supreme Court precedents, emphasised that converting a civil dispute into a criminal one, especially when an arbitration clause exists, was an abuse of legal process. The case originated from an agreement on Aug 14, 2018, between M/s RK Engineering, owned by Anil Kumar Goyal, and M/s Kedhari Traders for the sale of power plant scrap. Goyal alleged that Kedhari Traders received Rs 7.5 crore but allowed him to lift material worth only Rs 1.89 crore before stopping supply, demanding more money, and refusing a refund. However, Kedhari Traders countered that Goyal defaulted on payments as per the agreement. The Rs 30 crore contract required Rs 10 crore to be paid by Sept 15, 2018, and Rs 5 crore by Oct 15, 2018. Goyal paid only Rs 7.5 crore, leading to defaults. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Kedhari Traders issued a termination notice on Oct 27, 2018, which Goyal's firm acknowledged. Further, Kedhari Traders informed the court that even after the agreement's termination on Nov 20, 2018, Goyal and his partner, Sabhir Aga, continued unauthorised material removal, prompting a separate complaint under Section 378 IPC at Verna Police Station, Goa, on Dec 5, 2018. Kedhari Traders also highlighted that a legal notice from Goyal's counsel on Feb 11, 2019, disputing the termination, did not lead to any legal challenge as per the agreement's dispute resolution clauses. Kedhari Traders responded on 1 March 2019, asserting the termination was lawful and the matter purely civil. The high court noted the significant delay, with no investigation for two-and-a-half years after the FIR's registration on May 30, 2019, until a CrPC Section 41 notice was served on Kedhari Traders on Jan 28, 2022. Kedhari Traders' counsels argued the FIR lacked grounds for a cognisable offence and was a coercive tactic. They stressed that the agreement specified dispute resolution through courts in Hyderabad or arbitration in Goa, rendering the Raipur FIR unsustainable. Citing Supreme Court precedents in cases such as Rikhab Birani & Another Vs. State of Uttar Pradesh & Another and Sharif Ahmed and Another Vs. State of Uttar Pradesh and Another, the high court reiterated that criminal proceedings with ulterior motives can be quashed. The court concluded that the commercial dispute was civil, aligning with Supreme Court rulings in Vinod Natesan Vs. State of Kerala and Sachin Garg Vs. State of UP, which discourage converting civil matters into criminal cases. Thus the high court quashed all criminal proceedings against Kedhari Traders.

Ryan Reynolds supports Blake Lively at Another Simple Favor premiere amid Baldoni drama; Hugh Jackman joins
A little legal drama never bothered Blake Lively anyway! Blake, 37, stepped out in New York City, marking her presence at the premiere for her next big release, Another Simple Favor, the event for which was held at the hallowed Lincoln Center at Jazz. Director Paul Feig and of course equal parts star of the show Anna Kendrick were also in attendance. Supporting Blake for her first big press tour since the It Ends With Us debacle which literally ended in a $400 million dollar spate of lawsuits, was husband Ryan Reynolds. Ryan, 48, was beaming ear-to-ear as he walked the red carpet on Blake's arm. While the Gossip Girl alum was dressed in a lovely Tamara Ralph couture number in goose white with geometric streaks of grey, Ryan complimented his wife in a dapper grey plaid suit. Blake's emotional support clan didn't just end there. Also present was Ryan's platonic other-half Hugh Jackman, presumably there as a token of public support for Blake, who will be going head to head with Justin Baldoni in the courtroom, come March 26. A post shared by Entertainment Tonight (@entertainmenttonight) To refresh your context, Blake and Justin collaborated for their last release It Ends With Us (2024), the official adaptation of Colleen Hoover's book of the same name. In the aftermath of the film's release, Blake sued him (as well as Wayfarer Studios — his production company) for reported sexual harassment as well as a preemptive smear campaign. Justin not only flat out denied the allegations but slapped Blake, Ryan, their publicist Leslie Sloane as well as Sloane's PR firm Vision PR, Inc. for $400 million, alleging defamation, civil extortion and more. Coming back to the couple and Ryan being a pillar of support for Blake (as he should!), the face of Deadpool admitted to being "incredibly in awe of (his) wife in many ways" in a byte to PEOPLE. During a 'More to Parkinson's' Panel with Acadia Pharmaceuticals at GH on the Park in NYC, Ryan further added, "I don't know that I've met somebody stronger. And her coping mechanisms are just coffee, which is amazing to me because I don't know how I could hold what she holds and do it with (her) grace and strength. It's pretty profound". Another Simple Favor will be available for streaming on OTT on May 1.
