Cameras should detect women without a veil
today at 02.46 Johan Edgar
Iranian authorities have begun installing cameras in public places to identify women who do not wear the veil.
Women found without the hijab, a veil that covers the hair, will receive a text message with a warning text about the consequences, the country’s police have announced, according to the BBC.
In a statement published by state news agency Irna, police said the surveillance cameras use so-called “smart” technology to identify the women and then send documents and warning messages to those who violate the hijab law.
The veiling law was introduced in Iran in 1983, four years after the Islamic revolution. (TT)

Faked his death and escaped – killer caught
Convicted murderer and rapist Thabo Bester, who escaped from a South African prison by faking his own death, has been arrested in Tanzania.
Bester has been on the run for a year, after he was believed to have set himself on fire in his cell.
Last month, a new autopsy report showed the body in the cell was not his.

In Tel Aviv, a large protest was held barely two kilometers from the place where a suspected terrorist act occurred on Friday, TT reports.

Cameras should expose women without veils
The Iranian regime will install cameras in public places to detect, and punish, women who do not follow the country’s dress code.
This was announced by the country’s police on Saturday, write Reuters.
Women caught without a veil will be given a “warning message of the consequences,” it said in a statement.
The move is the latest in the regime’s attempt to maintain power as more and more women defy the dress code.
Despite women risking arrest if they don’t cover their hair, many are still seen going without a veil in malls, restaurants and streets.
Meanwhile, the Internet has been flooded with videos of women showing their hair in protest against the regime.

There will be a coalition government in Estonia.

After tough negotiations, it is now clear that they will form a government with the relatively newly formed center party Estonia 200 and the current cooperation partner the Social Democrats, TT reports.
– This agreement ensures that Estonia is protected, that we can continue as an independent and self-sufficient country, says Kallas at a press conference.

If I’m insane when I’m out driving (typically on a Monday morning on the way to work), am I automatically classified as an insane driver even if I obey the speed limit?
Anders
In order for us to call you a crazy driver or your drive a crazy drive, you would have to drive the vehicle in an insane way.
It’s not enough that you’re insane, be a bit calm and careful for yourself inside the car.
