What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

"I had a case involving a 15-year-old girl recruited to shoot someone in the head," Stockholm prosecutor Ida Arnell told AFP. "She was able to choose the type of mission she wanted, in other words, to aim at the guy's door or his head. She chose the head."

What I wrote in the cross post:

Some context not in the article

Some 280 girls aged between 15 and 17 were charged with murder, manslaughter or other violent crimes last year

That "other violent crimes" appears to do some very heavy lifting. There are about 40 deaths a year in total in the criminal mileu. Unless I'm interpreting the data wrong

[Gangs] are even reported to have infiltrated Sweden's welfare sector, local politics, legal and education systems, and juvenile detention care.

Yes, because liberals and conservatives sold everything. They sold it to friends, family, donors, who in turn sell it to gangs.

The Swedish government has proposed new legislation that would allow police to wiretap children under the age of 15 in an attempt to curb the violence

Not only that, children will also now be going to prison in Sweden.

[...] on encrypted messaging sites.

Ah, yes. The head of the Swedish police said in an interview the other day that Signal have no other use than recruiting for assassinations. If you see someone using it, you should call the police.

More encryption panic, better get everyone's ID if they are online or have a phone. Because of course criminals won't use stolen IDs or phones, just like they always use IDs and register their guns.

Also note, dispute the chats and sites being encrypted the cops have managed to review enough of them to supposedly establish a trend RE women's behaviour asking to participate in violence. So clearly encryption isn't a real barrier to law enforcement. But better ban it anyway!
