German sportswear giant Adidas has dropped American model Bella Hadid from its advertising campaign for retro sneakers, after facing criticism from Israel.
Hadid, whose Palestinian father was born in Nazareth, has been a vocal advocate for the rights of the ethno-national group, calling for an end to the bloodshed in Gaza.
She has repeatedly criticized the Israeli government over the ongoing Gaza conflict, which to date has claimed over 38,000 Palestinian lives. In October 2023, the IDF launched a military operation in the enclave in response to a deadly Hamas raid that had left approximately 1,200 Israelis dead.

Bella and her sister Gigi, also a model with millions of social-media followers, have participated in several pro-Palestinian demonstrations, publicly accusing Israel of committing “genocide” in the enclave..
A team of scientists may have found a way to stave off aging, according to a study published in British science journal Nature on Wednesday.
During a trial on mice, a team lead by researchers from Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore and Imperial College London found that blocking a protein called interleukin-11 (IL-11) extended the lifespan of the mammals and prevented health conditions associated with aging.
It was discovered that with age, the body’s organs produce increasing levels of IL-11, which, in turn, promotes fat accumulation, muscle mass loss, hair loss, and cancer.
During the trial, a group of middle-aged mice were injected with a drug that uses antibodies to block IL-11. As a result, the lifespan of both male and female mice was increased by up to 25%.
The treated animals looked healthier overall and more energetic than those that did not receive the treatment. Less than 16% of the treated rodents had tumors, compared with over 60% of those in the control group.
“Although our work was done in mice, we hope that these findings will be highly relevant to human health, given that we have seen similar effects in studies of human cells and tissues,” research author Anissa A. Widjaja from Duke-NUS Medical School in Singapore told The Telegraph.
Eureka ‘Anti-aging’ Breakthrough- may Extend life 25% and Banish old age Suffering —Simply blocking the Interleukin protein in the body has shown to increase lifespan and prevent cancer in mammals …. https://thefreeonline.com/2024/07/22/eureka-anti-aging-breakthrough-may-extend-life-25-and-banish-old-age-suffering/— .-The beauty of the treatment is it doesn’t depend on expensive drugs or surgery. More than increased life expectancy it may give relief from crippling and accumulating old age diseases and the torture of bodily collapse.
“Our aim is that one day, anti-IL-11 therapy will be used as widely as possible, so that people the world over can lead healthier lives for longer,” Medical Express quoted professor of cardiovascular medicine Stuart Cook as saying.
Cancer Vaccine tested in Russia
Scientists in Russia have also made progress on cancer prevention. Health Minister Mikhail Murashko revealed last month that researchers were finalizing pre-clinical trials of a vaccine against the disease.
The jab that is currently being tested on mice was described as a therapeutic vaccine that would be administered to those already diagnosed with cancer.
Cancer is one of the leading causes of death globally. The World Health Organization (WHO) reported in February that about one in five people globally develop the disease in their lifetime. Clinical trials of a cancer vaccine also began in the UK in May.
La Audiencia concluye que “la suma de indicios incriminatorios es tal que resulta imposible construir un relato exculpatorio aceptable sobre la base de la prueba practicada y de su contenido”.
La Audiencia Provincial de Palencia ha confirmado la sentencia de dos años de prisión, cuatro de inhabilitación para la caza y un pago de 17.505,95 euros en concepto de responsabilidad civil para el hombre acusado de matar a una hembra de oso pardo hace tres años en esta provincia castellanoleonesa durante una cacería.
El recurso planteado por el cazador ha sido rechazado, así que se mantendrá la pena impuesta por el Juzgado de lo Penal de Palencia en febrero de este año que coincide con la solicitada por la Fiscalía y por la Fundación Oso Pardo (FOP).
Los hechos ocurrieron durante una cacería de jabalí en Ventanilla (Parque Natural de la Montaña Palentina) en noviembre de 2020, cerca del pueblo natal del acusado, Velilla del Río Carrión, en la provincia de Palencia.
La Audiencia concluye que “la suma de indicios incriminatorios es tal que resulta imposible construir un relato exculpatorio aceptable sobre la base de la prueba practicada y de su contenido”.
Avala tanto el trabajo de la Guardia Civil en su atestado y tomas de declaración, como las diligencias practicadas en fase de instrucción en Cervera de Pisuerga (Palencia), así como el minucioso y detallado análisis del Juzgado de lo Penal de Palencia.
El disparo fue realizado por el acusado “a una distancia de unos 40 metros, sin extremar las precauciones necesarias, sin emplear el visor que llevaba, pese a ser advertido y ser conocedor de que se encontraba en una zona osera, y sin comprobar ni cerciorarse con toda la seguridad que es necesaria por el lugar en el que se encontraba (Reserva de Parque Natural con una reducida población osera) del tipo de especie o ejemplar al que estaba disparando”, se explica en la sentencia.
También se da relevancia a que el condenado “es residente habitual en la zona, jefe de cuadrilla en ese momento y cazador habitual, habida cuenta de que ocupaba el mejor puesto de todos, que él eligió y en la zona más alta y con mejor visión”. Por ello, la Audiencia concluye que existió “dolo eventual” en la conducta del cazador.
La indemnización de 17.505,95 euros que el cazador deberá pagar a la Junta de Castilla y León es la mitad de la reclamada por la Fiscalía y la FOP durante el juicio oral, pues la sentencia atribuye parte de la responsabilidad a la propia Junta de Castilla y León, “al autorizar a través de sus funcionarios una cacería en un momento prohibido e inadecuado”.
La sentencia de la Audiencia Provincial también reconoce la complejidad de la causa y el elevado número de diligencias y actuaciones practicadas, y la contribución activa para el esclarecimiento del proceso de las acusaciones populares. El cazador tendrá que pagar las costas procesales de la FOP, como ya determinó la sentencia de febrero.
