Several Twitter users quipped that Musk was “doxing himself” and questioned why he decided to suspend accounts for disclosing his private information and whereabouts before doing so himself just days later.

“Is that real-time doxxing?” One person said, while another chimed in: “You should suspend yourself for revealing your location.”

However, others pointed out that every individual has the right to share their own location on social media.

The Twitter owner has been a vocal supporter of the World Cup in recent weeks, frequently tweeting about games and results and interacting with fellow social media users.

Tens of thousands of football fans in French and Argentinian colors gathered at Doha’s Lusail Stadium on Sunday for the showdown between Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi, both stars of Paris St Germain, which belongs to Doha.

Crowds crammed the Doha Metro, with Qatar Rail delaying access to stations as a modest closing ceremony began at the stadium with dancers celebrating “A Night to Remember”. With 30 minutes to go, the stadium appeared to be three quarters full.

The crowd watched as Qatar’s Air Force planes flew over Lusail as the Gulf state also celebrated its national day, with thousands of police forces, including anti-riot squads armed with water cannons, securing the area.

Thousands also gathered outside the stadium to watch the game on giant screens: “We don’t have tickets. We’re here for the national holiday and because the players might come out after the finish line. We just wanted to see them,” said Shafeek Mydheea, a tourist from Dubai, who was standing in front of two lines of riot police outside Lusail metro station.

Argentina were 2-0 up at half-time thanks to a penalty successfully quashed by their talisman Messi before Angel Di Maria completed a fantastic team movement.

Qatar’s hosting of the 2022 World Cup, which has been marred by controversy, was part of a carefully crafted strategy by the tiny but wealthy state to bolster its global influence.

The tournament has shone a spotlight on its human rights record – including the conditions imposed on foreign workers who built those stadiums and conservative laws that ban homosexuality, limit political expression and restrict alcohol sales.

In May, a coalition of human rights groups including Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International called on FIFA and Qatar to set up a compensation fund at least equal to the World Cup’s $440 million prize money for workers who were mistreated or died in Qatar. Neither FIFA nor Qatar approved the establishment of the fund.

Qatari authorities say decades of criticism of their country are unfair and misinformed, citing labor law reforms passed since 2018 and accusing some critics of racism and double standards.

“We have endeavored to ensure that this tournament is an accelerator to improve conditions for labor reform because, despite the best of intentions, the situation before was unacceptable,” said Hassan Al Thawadi, secretary-general of the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy, Qatar’s World Cup organizer , in an interview broadcast on Sky News.

“There is the Workers Support and Insurance Fund, which will look into all matters related to unfortunate deaths. And that will continue beyond the World Cup,” said Thawadi.

The college network must learn from the ‘mistakes’ made during the recent lockdowns of three CEGEPs, teachers’ unions are pleading. In a trip to La Presse, they urge management to be better prepared for the worst.

Communication problems, “traumatic” police operations: The unions regret several “failures” in the wake of the recent exit restrictions.

“We want to make this trip on a constructive basis. We want things to change because we are not immune to these situations,” says Yves de Repentigny, vice president of the National Federation of Quebec Teachers (FNEEQ), who is directly responsible for the CEGEP group.

Imprisoned at the Lionel Groulx College in Sainte-Thérèse on November 18th

On November 18, a minor walking around with a toy gun near Lionel-Groulx College in Sainte-Thérèse forced the nearly four-hour detention of students and school staff.

“What was most striking was the confusion from start to finish,” says Denis Paquin, president of the Lionel Groulx College Teachers Union.

In fact, students and staff were initially ordered to barricade themselves or evacuate the building. Consequence: The majority of the students rushed to the exits.

Several teachers thought they would have put their students’ lives in danger if there had been a gunman outside. They went through a lot of guilt.

Also, since the intercoms are in the hallways, not everyone heard the instruction, he adds.

According to the union, the last active shooter training offered to teachers was several years ago. An emergency protocol is posted online, but it’s hard to find.

“It’s like we’ve learned what to do over time. It is not the time to learn when such a situation arises, ”denies Denis Paquin, who nonetheless welcomes the presence of psychosocial workers who are quickly dispatched to the scene.

In a recommendation voted at the end of November, the FNEEQ urges CEGEP Directors to update their contingency action plans and ensure they are submitted at the start of the meeting.

It is also asking Quebec to allocate funds to purchase equipment aimed at keeping students and staff safe, such as two-way intercoms and emergency kits in classrooms.

“Aquarium Classes”

“There are places where it’s not possible to lock yourself up,” says Amélie Therrien, president of the Montmorency College Teachers’ Union.

In early November, hundreds of people were locked inside Laval College for four hours. Shots were fired in a nearby park, injuring four people who then fled to the bar.

Some students had taken refuge in almost entirely glass “aquarium classrooms”. “In these classes, the furniture is often fixed to the floor. How can we barricade ourselves? ‘ rises Mrs. Therrien.

In addition, several teachers did not know how to proceed because the last training was “too long ago”.

The union also regrets the lack of communication during the police operation. Those locked inside the school remained in the dark for hours, turning to social media for information.

“There is a class that left before the end of confinement. The teacher couldn’t keep the students because they didn’t get any information,” says Amélie Therrien.

“Traumatic” interventions

A few hours earlier, a similar scene took place in Cégep Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.

A person who made threats was arrested on November 11 at the Cégep Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu compound.

A person who had made threats had been arrested on school premises. For more than three hours, hundreds of students were ordered to lock themselves inside the facility’s walls.

According to teachers’ union Cégep Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, police “tried to enter the premises without reporting to ensure they were barricaded”.

“It has traumatized both teachers and young people. It caused anxiety attacks,” laments its president, Vanessa Pelland.

“A common concern,” says the association of CEGEPs

The unions’ findings are “a common concern that has already been taken up by companies,” says Fédération des cégeps President and CEO Bernard Tremblay.

” I think that [les confinements] went very well. On the other hand, we have to take stock and be aware that these situations can and probably will happen again,” he stresses.

Mr Tremblay adds that during a recent meeting, CEGEPs took stock of lockdown progress. The Ministry of Higher Education has also sent a letter urging all institutions to revise their emergency response plan.

Two people who were traveling on board a light aircraft are still missing in the province of Valladolid: Guillermo Álvarez, mayor of the PSOE in the municipality of Geria, and his niece Beatriz Cantos. The Civil Guard are coordinating a search device for the occupants of the ultralight plane that went missing after taking off from an airfield in the town of Matilla de los Caños on Saturday afternoon. Army air rescue personnel and resources were involved in the operation. Both authorities and volunteers have been combing the San Miguel del Pino area near the Duero River where they believe the device may have fallen.

More information

The search work began as soon as there was evidence of the incident and the two occupants did not return at the scheduled time. The government sub-delegation in Valladolid has reported that the phone of one of the passengers initially rang but did not respond to calls.

Localization attempts on Saturday were unsuccessful, at night a helicopter with a thermal imaging camera was used, which also did not provide any information about the two people. The Army Air Rescue has joined these efforts because of its experience in “air accident search and rescue”.

The Civil Guard has divided the area where they believe the disappeared may be found into the area around the base from which they took off more than 24 hours ago. Civil Protection members and volunteers have joined the rescue team.

The proximity of the Duero River, which already includes the waters of the Pisuerga River in this stretch and which is flowing down these days due to the heavy rains of recent weeks, has led to the deployment of Special Group for Underwater Activities (GEAS) agents been incorporated. The high flow rate makes this part of the scan difficult.

The Civil Guard has also reported that brigades from the Conservation Service (Seprona) and Command’s Citizen Security Unit (Usecic) have joined. Added to these specialists for similar missions are Valladolid Provincial Council Firefighters to assist with air and water operations. Civil protection volunteers from nearby towns and friends and relatives of the two disappeared also attended this Sunday morning. The planes of the airfield itself also work together with the support of a helicopter from the Junta de Castilla y León, another from the Guardia Civil and drones.

The Air Force needs some new bombers. The B-1B Lancer and B-2A Spirit are in the twilight of their careers, and the B-21 Raider, a new stealth bomber from Northrop Grumman, is looking to become the lead bomber for the United States.

“Our opponent’s defenses have improved tremendously since the advent of the B-2,” said Thomas DiNanno, adjunct fellow at the Hudson Institute. “Chinese and Russian air defense systems, the S-400, the S-500, are extremely powerful, they are extremely dangerous. So modernizing advanced stealth capabilities is important.”

Digital design, focused Air Force requirements and Northrop Grumman’s previous experience operating a covert flying wing are credited for why the program appears to be on track and on budget.

“The B-21 looks a lot like the B-2 because the fundamentals of stealth and long-range air penetration are based on the concept of a flying wing,” said Doug Young, vice president and general manager of strikes at Northrop Grumman. “And that even goes back to the YB-49 jet, when Jack Northrop actually created some of the first flying wings.”
