The U.S. Justice Department on Tuesday blocked some three dozen websites, many of them associated with Iranian disinformation activities, a U.S. government source said, adding an official announcement was expected.

The source in Washington spoke after notices appeared earlier on Tuesday on a number of Iran-affiliated websites saying they had been seized by the United States government as part of law enforcement action.

Iranian news agencies said that the U.S. government had seized several Iranian media websites and sites belonging to groups affiliated with Iran such as Yemen's Houthi movement.

The website of the Arabic-language Masirah TV, which is run by the Houthis, read:

"The domain almasirah.net has been seized by the United States Government in accordance with a seizure warrant ... as part of a law enforcement action by the Bureau of Industry and Security, Office of Export Enforcement and Federal Bureau of Investigation."

The site quickly opened up a new, working website at www.almasirah.com.

A U.S. Justice Department spokesperson had no immediate comment. Two U.S. government sources indicated that the Justice Department was preparing an announcement on this issue.

A brown bear that killed a 16-year-old boy in a Russian national park and then feasted on his body has been shot dead by wildlife rangers.

The boy, who has not been named, was working as a helper for tourists camping in Ergaki national park in Siberia’s Krasnoyarsk region. He was attacked when he went to collect provisions from a village.

When the boy failed to return, two of the tourists went to look for him and discovered the bear devouring his remains. The animal injured one of them before he fought it off with a knife. The other tourist raised the alarm. Wildlife rangers arrived quickly and shot and injured the bear, which escaped into the forest. The next morning they tracked it down and killed it.

Britney Spears broke her silence in a court hearing yesterday (Wednesday) regarding her court-ordered conservatorship that has been in place for nearly 13 years. She asked to address Judge Brenda Penny to speak out about the arrangement virtually by phone and spoke to the judge for more than 20 minutes. She said that she was put on lithium, despite her objections.

"It's a strong drug. You can go mentally impaired if you stay on it longer than five months. I felt drunk, I couldn't even have a conversation with my mom or dad about anything. They had me with six different nurses." Lithium is commonly used to treat bipolar disorder, which often causes episodes of depression and mania -- a feeling of uncontrolled irritability or excitement. It can also be used to treat depression.

An appeals court suspended Rudy Giuliani from practicing law in New York because he made false statements while trying to get courts to overturn Donald Trump’s loss in the United States presidential race.

An attorney disciplinary committee said in its motion to suspend Giuliani’s licence that there was “uncontroverted evidence” that Giuliani had made false statements to the courts, the public and lawmakers as he pushed theories that the election was stolen through fraud.

Increasingly, medical schools use computer models to teach anatomy, but many professionals argue that they fall short of real bodies. Xu worries that anatomy classes will be cut even further, leaving medical students without a solid foundation in the subject. “I wouldn’t dare to let them loose on patients,” he said…….

By the standards of members of the royal family, the Countess of Wessex used to be the invisible woman. Every year she would diligently carry out scores of engagements, often as many as the Duke of Cambridge if not more. But no one would ever notice: it was as if she did not exist. The charities and other organisations for which she turned out would always be grateful, but none of what she did ever made the papers — let alone the television news bulletins.

VANCOUVER -- Two more Catholic churches on First Nations reserve land in B.C. have burned to the ground.
The churches, both in the Similkameen region, went up in flames early Saturday morning and both were destroyed completely, say Penticton RCMP.

A total of four Catholic churches on First Nations reserves have been burned to the ground in the month following an announcement from the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc that it had discovered remains of 215 children in unmarked graves at the nearby Kamloops Indian Residential School. The school was run by church missionaries.
