What would happen if there is war between the US and Iran? In addition, the recommendations on alcohol consumption for those who wish to be parents, and the possible effects of a European court ruling on social networks. This is what you should know to start the day. First the truth.
1. Trump's message to China and Ukraine
Donald Trump said Thursday he wants Ukraine and China to investigate Joe Biden and his son. So far, there is no evidence of irregularities by Joe or Hunter Biden in Ukraine. How is this set up in the investigation for a possible political trial against the US president?
2. War between the United States and Iran, a catastrophe
A US attack Iran would unleash a complex war that the West and its allies simply could not win, says Sam Kiley, a CNN correspondent in Abu Dhabi, in an analysis. Until now, the operations that the United States has attributed to Iran against ships in the Persian Gulf, the Saudi Arabian oil industry and the demolition of a US drone have not generated bloodshed. As much as the Iranians deny their participation, it seems that their actions have been carefully calibrated to indicate greater dangers to come.
3. Fines for discriminating
In several countries there are penalties of fines (and jail) for discriminating. These measures are especially focused on xenophobia, but hate crimes also include discrimination based on race, sex, sexual orientation, among others. Look here for some countries with punitive penalties for discriminating. You can also see other related topics in the special Human Being Project, the CNN initiative in Spanish against discrimination.
4. Social networks, monitored?
The highest European court ruled that Facebook and other Internet companies may be forced to remove certain content. The decision could affect social networks around the world, raises huge possible problems for internet companies and cannot be appealed.
5. If you are going to procreate, do not drink
A study says that future parents should stop drinking 6 months before conception to protect the baby's heart health. The research, published in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology, says that future moms should stop drinking a year before conception to avoid congenital heart defects in their baby.
