I can only say that I hope that this is just internal propaganda and they are not actually stupid enough to do something like this because the consequences for Ukrainians will be catastrophic. In any case, this is what you guys in the West support, even if it’s just words.— Russians With Attitude (@RWApodcast) March 20, 2022

Britain’s Royal Mint said it had found a way of reclaiming hundreds of kilograms of gold and other precious metals from electronic waste such as mobile phones and laptops.
Gold and silver are highly conductive and small quantities are embedded in circuit boards and other hardware, along with other precious metals.
Most of this material is never recovered, with discarded electronics often dumped in landfills or incinerated.
The more than 1,100-year-old mint said it had partnered with a Canadian start-up called Excir which has developed chemical solutions to extract the metals from the circuit boards.
It plans to build a plant in Wales to process hundreds of tonnes of e-waste and extract hundreds of kilograms of precious metals.
Sean Millard, the mint’s chief growth officer, said that disused electronics in households represent about seven per cent of the world’s gold.
On Monday (March 21) Gold prices rose as fighting in Ukraine boosted demand for safe-haven bullion. Spot gold rose 0.5% to $1,931.16 per ounce by 1:51 p.m. ET (1751 GMT). U.S. gold futures for April settled mostly unchanged at $1,929.50.
AMoscow court ruled on Monday to ban Facebook and Instagram in Russia, labeling the parent company of the two social networks Meta Platforms Inc. “extremist.”
The Prosecutor General’s Office of Russia said that the lawsuit was aimed at protecting Russians from “a violation of their rights,” according to local media.
Meta has violated its own rules by allowing posts with violent speeches towards the Russian military and has ignored more than 4,500 requests to remove fake information on Russia’s special military operation and calls for unauthorized rallies, the prosecutors said.
The court ruling will come into effect immediately but will not affect WhatsApp messenger.
Meta is also banned from doing business in Russia as the Prosecutor General’s Office and Russia’s Federal Security Service accused the U.S. giant of acting against Russia and its armed forces.
An off-duty police officer accused of putting his knee on a 12-year-old girl’s neck to restrain her amid a lunchtime fight in Kenosha in the Midwest U.S. state of Wisconsin, is under investigation, NBC has reported, citing the city’s police department.
The surveillance footage released on Friday by Kenosha Unified School District shows that Kenosha officer Shawn Guetschow, who was working as a security guard at the school, intervening in a fight on March 4 by placing his knee on the girl’s neck for half a minute to subdue her, NBC reported on Tuesday.
Jerrel Perez, the girl’s father, has called for criminal charges against Guetschow for using a type of restraint that was banned for Wisconsin law enforcement officers last year. Perez said his daughter is in therapy and seeing a neurologist for her injuries.
Guetschow resigned from his security guard post with the school on Tuesday, but remains employed by the city police force, Kenosha Police Department tweeted.
