Canadá: múltiples víctimas luego de que un conductor embistiera a decenas de personas durante un festival de música en Vancouver

Varias personas murieron y otras resultaron heridas el sábado por la noche luego de que un conductor embistiera a una multitud durante un festival en la ciudad canadiense de Vancouver, según informaron las autoridades locales.
La Policía de Vancouver confirmó a través de un comunicado en X que “un número de personas han muerto y múltiples otras resultaron heridas”. El conductor fue detenido y permanece bajo custodia, agregaron las autoridades.
El incidente ocurrió poco después de las 20:00 horas locales (03:00 GMT del domingo) en el barrio Sunset on Fraser, mientras miembros de la comunidad filipina se congregaban para celebrar el Día de Lapu Lapu, según publicó el alcalde de Vancouver, Ken Sim, en redes sociales.
“Nuestros pensamientos están con todos los afectados y con la comunidad filipina de Vancouver en este momento increíblemente difícil”, escribió Sim.

Por su parte, el primer ministro de Canadá, Mark Carney, también manifestó su pesar a través de un mensaje en X: “Estoy devastado al escuchar sobre los horribles acontecimientos en el festival Lapu Lapu en Vancouver esta noche. Ofrezco mis más profundas condolencias a los seres queridos de los fallecidos y heridos, a la comunidad filipino-canadiense y a todos en Vancouver. Estamos de luto con ustedes. Estamos siguiendo de cerca la situación y agradecidos a nuestros socorristas por su rápida acción.”
También, el primer ministro de la provincia de Columbia Británica, David Eby, expresó en un mensaje su conmoción y dolor ante el trágico suceso. Asimismo, el líder del Nuevo Partido Democrático (NDP), Jagmeet Singh, envió sus condolencias a las víctimas y a la comunidad filipina.
Una guardia de seguridad del festival, Jen Idaba-Castaneto, relató al medio local Vancouver Is Awesome que la escena era caótica. “Había cuerpos por todas partes. No sabías a quién ayudar, aquí o allá. Es muy impactante”, describió.

Un testigo relató a CTV News que observó un vehículo negro circulando de manera errática en las inmediaciones del festival momentos antes de que la multitud fuera atropellada. Según informó el Vancouver Sun, miles de personas se encontraban en la zona en el momento del incidente.
“Yo no pude ver al conductor, lo único que escuché fue el ruido del motor”, declaró Yoseb Vardeh, operador de un camión de comida, en una entrevista con Postmedia.
“Salí de mi food truck, miré hacia la calle y vi cadáveres por todas partes”, añadió Vardeh. “El vehículo recorrió toda la cuadra y se dirigió directamente hacia el centro del festival”.
Fotografías difundidas por la emisora CBC mostraron la presencia de equipos de emergencia en la escena, donde más temprano se habían reunido grandes multitudes para participar en un desfile, proyecciones de cine, bailes y un concierto en el que se presentaban dos miembros de Black Eyed Peas.
El festival, que conmemora al líder indígena filipino Lapulapu, quien derrotó al explorador portugués Fernando de Magallanes en 1521, coincidía este año con el fin de semana previo a las elecciones federales en Canadá.

GOP rips FISA court for tapping ex-Biden ‘disinformation’ lawyer to advise on surveillance

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Republican lawmakers called it «insane» that the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court appointed to a key advisory panel a lawyer with past ties to the Biden administration’s controversial Disinformation Governance Board.
Judges on the FISC appointed Jennifer Daskal this month to serve as an amicus curiae, meaning Daskal is now among a small group of lawyers designated to advise the secretive court, which approves warrants for federal authorities to surveil targets for foreign intelligence purposes. The GOP lawmakers say Daskal’s history with the disinformation board raises worries about her ability to discern whether warrants are appropriate.
«The same person who helped to build a board to censor American speech now advises judges on how to protect American liberties,» House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told Fox News Digital in a statement. «That’s ridiculous — and exactly why Congress must continue our oversight.»

Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., echoed Jordan’s concerns, saying Daskal’s appointment was «insane» and calling for reforms to the FISC.
Schmitt shared a video of himself on X questioning Daskal during a hearing about what he called the Biden administration’s «censorship enterprise,» referencing Daskal’s role in aiming to dispel what the administration viewed as inaccurate information about COVID-19 masks and vaccines and information about election security.
FISC proceedings are classified and «ex parte,» meaning a judge reviews the federal government’s warrant application and the target of the warrant has no awareness of the proceedings. A judge reviewing the application can, however, turn to an amicus curiae to present counterpoints to the government’s application, meaning Daskal is among a handful of lawyers who could be tapped to argue against allowing the government to wiretap a person’s phones or otherwise surveil them.

Under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, the government has access to these powerful spy tools for foreign intelligence purposes, but it has sometimes, whether inadvertently or intentionally, improperly targeted U.S. citizens.
Building more guardrails into the legislation has long been a point of contention for privacy hawks. Republicans, in particular, became highly critical of the FISC after finding that the court approved the FBI’s warrant applications, which contained flimsy and inaccurate evidence, to surveil Trump campaign aide Carter Page beginning in 2016.
Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, told the Washington Free Beacon, which first reported on Daskal’s appointment, that the «American people need to have confidence in the people tasked to serve as amici» before the FISC. Grassley pointed to a bill he introduced, the FISA Accountability Act, which would allow Congress to have a say in who is chosen as an amicus curiae.
Jordan and Grassley have been some of the most vocal proponents of reining in the federal government’s use of FISA after identifying instances in recent years of intelligence officials allegedly abusing their authority and infringing on U.S. citizens’ Fourth Amendment right to privacy. In the case of Page, DOJ inspector general Michael Horowitz released a report in 2019 that identified more than a dozen «significant errors or omissions» across the FBI’s four warrant applications used to surveil the former Trump aide. Daskal, in her new role, could offer confidential, weighty legal arguments to a FISC judge that support or oppose intelligence officials’ requests to surveil someone.

Daskal served as a top lawyer in the Department of Homeland Security when she helped launch the Disinformation Governance Board. Conservatives heavily criticized it, describing the board as a «Ministry of Truth» that sought to censor their viewpoints in violation of the First Amendment.
Daskal chartered the board, while Nina Jankowicz was named its executive director, an appointment that fueled Republicans’ fury over it after finding Jankowicz’ past social media posts that they said revealed she was too partisan. Jankowicz, for instance, cast doubt on the New York Post’s bombshell story in 2020 about Hunter Biden’s laptop, which she said fit a pattern of Russian «information laundering.» Biden administration officials vehemently objected to the claims in the New York Post’s story about Joe Biden’s handling of Ukrainian foreign policy, though the authenticity of the laptop itself has been verified through court proceedings.

Republicans put so much pressure on DHS about the board — calling it an «abuse of taxpayer dollars» and raising alarm that it painted policy disagreements over COVID-19, election security and immigration as mis- or dis- information — that it disbanded just a few months after its launch.
In Daskal’s hearing exchange with Schmitt, Daskal said «it’s not appropriate for the government to censor any points of view.» Daskal did not respond to a request for comment for this story.

Russia urges Iran, ‘all parties’ in Middle East to show restraint amid US military buildup

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Russia warned Iran and «all parties in the region to exercise restraint and caution» Thursday amid a U.S. military buildup in the Middle East.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the remark as the world’s largest aircraft carrier, the USS Gerald R. Ford, and its strike group are moving from the Caribbean toward the Middle East.
«Russia continues to develop relations with Iran, and in doing so, we call on our Iranian friends and all parties in the region to exercise restraint and caution, and we urge them to prioritize political and diplomatic means in resolving any problems,» Peskov said Thursday, according to Reuters.
«Right now, we are indeed seeing an unprecedented escalation of tensions in the region. But we still expect that political and diplomatic means and negotiations will continue to prevail in the search for a settlement,» he added.
WORLD’S LARGEST AIRCRAFT CARRIER HEADS TO MIDDLE EAST AS IRAN NUCLEAR TENSIONS SPIKE DRAMATICALLY

The move of the USS Gerald R. Ford would place two aircraft carriers and their accompanying warships in the region. The USS Abraham Lincoln and three guided-missile destroyers arrived in the Middle East more than two weeks ago.
Negotiations between the United States and Iran over the latter’s nuclear program advanced Tuesday toward what Tehran described as the beginning of a potential framework, but sharp public divisions between the two sides underscored how far apart they remain.

Iranian foreign minister Abbas Araghchi said the two sides reached a «general agreement on a number of guiding principles» and agreed to begin drafting text for a possible agreement, with plans to exchange drafts and schedule a third round of talks.
Yet Washington has publicly insisted that any agreement must result in the dismantling of Iran’s nuclear program — including its enrichment capacity — along with limits on Tehran’s ballistic missile program and an end to its support for allied militant groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah.

Those demands go well beyond temporary enrichment pauses or technical adjustments.
