The billionaire Microsoft co-founder and his wife recently announced their end of their 27 year marriage on social media. "After a great deal of thought and a lot of work on our relationship, we have made the decision to end our marriage," the pair said in a statement on May 3. "We ask for space and privacy for our family as we begin to navigate this new life."

Melinda was reportedly concerned with Bill’s relationship with disgraced financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in the years leading up to their divorce.

People familiar with the couple’s divorce proceedings and a former employee of their charity, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, told The Wall Street Journal that Melinda’s concerns about Epstein went back as far as 2013. She was apparently uncomfortable with Epstein after the couple met him that year, but Bill reportedly continued a relationship with Epstein, despite her concerns. Bill had previously played down his relationship with Epstein.

Many other billionaires, heads of states and scientists were also implicated in their relationship with the convicted sex offender. Former United States president Bill Clinton had several times visited and dined with Epstein at his notorious private mansion in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Epstein committed suicide in a lower Manhattan jail cell in August 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Responding to questions over states banning transgender biological males from participating in female sports, the men's Olympic gold medalist said it is a "question of fairness" as far as he is concerned. The 71 year-old, born William Bruce Jenner, is a transgender 'woman' himself.

“This is a question of fairness," Jenner said in a TMZ video released Saturday. “That’s why I oppose biological boys who are trans competing in girls’ sports in school. It just isn’t fair. And we have to protect girls’ sports in our schools."

The Reality TV star's response sparked the usual outrage among unhinged left-wing LGBT activists online, with some trolls hysterically accusing him of causing potential death of transgender individuals. Some deliberately mischaracterized his comments, accusing him of opposing transgender individuals' participation in sports.

Clarifying in a press release later, Jenner reiterated: “I think everybody deserves an opportunity to play in sports, no matter who you are, or what your identity.”

Conservatives and Girl sports' rights activists welcomed Jenner's comments hailing it as a ray of light in the degenerate world of LGBT activism.

More than five states in the United States have passed legislation banning transgender biological males from participating in girls’ sports. Thirty states have similar legislation pending.

A panel of jurors has found former Minneapolis police officer Chauvin, 45, guilty Tuesday on all three charges in connection with the May 2020 death of George Floyd, after one of the most closely watched criminal trials in recent memory. He was charged with second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder and second-degree manslaughter.

Fox News host Tucker Carlson decried the verdict as a cry of 'please don't hurt us' to the violent mob that has been rioting and destroying western cities since Floyd's death.

Carlson said that "political actors harnessed the emotion over that video and Floyd’s death to control the country and change it forever."

The Fox news host also said in part

"They worked to change the outcome of Derek Chauvin’s trial. That’s the one thing we can never allow, no matter how we feel about a specific case. Civilized countries have impartial justice systems. That’s their hallmark. It’s what separates the countries you want to live in from places you don’t even want to visit. Civilized countries demand, above all, that every citizen is held to precisely the same standard under the law as every other citizen is — and that applies no matter how popular or unpopular a particular defendant might be. It applies no matter what the alleged crime is. Civilized countries do not tolerate jury intimidation. You see it, you stop it. They don’t allow the threat of violence to influence the outcome of a trial, ever. Not under any circumstances. That would be the opposite of justice. That would be mob rule.

 After 11 months of mostly unrestrained violence and intimidation from BLM, Americans decided to pay the ransom. They understood Derek Chauvin as a sacrifice for the sins of a nation. On television, they told us this was the case in the clearest terms. America is on trial, they told us. It’s not just Chauvin, one cop from Minneapolis on the stand. It’s all of us — our history, our culture, our system.

We internalized that, and we went along with it. But we were foolish to go along with this. A wise country stands on its principles. It puts down mobs. It doesn’t obey mobs because mobs are never sated."

The hip hop hitmaker whose real name was Earl Simmons, died Friday one week after suffering a heart attack.

"We are deeply saddened to announce today that our loved one, DMX, birth name of Earl Simmons, passed away at 50-years-old at White Plains Hospital with his family by his side after being placed on life support for the past few days," his family confirmed in a statement Friday. "Earl was a warrior who fought till the very end. He loved his family with all of his heart and we cherish the times we spent with him. Earl’s music inspired countless fans across the world and his iconic legacy will live on forever."

TMZ first reported last week that the New York native was rushed to a hospital in White Plains on April 2 and was placed in the critical care unit with "some brain activity." One unnamed source at the time claimed he was in a "vegetative state."

According to White Plains Hospital where he died, Simmons "passed away peacefully with family present after suffering a catastrophic cardiac arrest."

The 'Party Up(Up In Here)' hitmaker rose to fame and became a rap sensation beginning in the ‘90s. He released a total of seven studio albums, including "It’s Dark and Hell is Hot" (1998), "Flesh of My Flesh, Blood of My Blood" (1998), "…And Then There Was X" (1999), "The Great Depression" (2001), "Grand Champ" (2003), "Year of the Dog…Again" (2006), and "Undisputed" (2012). 

DMX won two American Music Awards for favorite rap/hip-hop artist and was a three-time Grammy nominee.

The Duke of Edinburgh was married to Queen Elizabeth II for 73 years. He died Friday at Windsor Castle at 99 years old.

"It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh," the Royal Family confirmed in a statement. "His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle."

Philip was admitted to a London hospital on Feb. 16, after feeling unwell. On March 3, he underwent a procedure for a pre-existing heart condition at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital before being transferred back to King Edward VII hospital on March 5 and ultimately released home on March 16.

Philip, former naval officer and keen polo player, married then-Princess Elizabeth in 1947 and is the longest-serving royal consort in British history. He and the queen have four children, eight grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

In what critics describe as a sign of return to aggressive foreign intervention by the Joe Biden administration, the Pentagon announced that the United States military forces launched airstrikes in Syria on Thursday, targeting facilities near the Iraqi border used by Iranian-backed militia groups.

This is apparently in retaliation for a rocket attack in Iraq earlier this month that killed one civilian contractor and wounded a U.S. service member and other coalition troops.

“I’m confident in the target that we went after, we know what we hit,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told reporters shortly after the airstrikes. “We’re confident that that target was being used by the same Shia militants that conducted the strikes,” referring to a Feb. 15 rocket attack in northern Iraq that killed one civilian contractor and wounded a U.S. service member and other coalition personnel.

Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said the airstrikes “destroyed multiple facilities at a border control point used by a number of Iranian- backed militant groups,” including Kataib Hezbollah and Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada. The U.S. has blamed Kataib Hezbollah for numerous attacks targeting U.S. personnel and interests in Iraq in the past.

The frequency of attacks by Iran-backed Shiite militia groups against U.S. targets in Iraq diminished under President Trump following his administration's drone strikes that killed top Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani and powerful Iraqi militia leader Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis last year.

Unlike the Trump administration, Joe Biden is expected to be more involved in foreign military adventures, a prospect that has alarmed anti-interventionist conservatives who warn against wasting even more resources and American blood in the middle east.

Is Joe's mental state worsening? Kamala Harris reportedly taking calls on behalf of Biden

Keneci Channel

Just weeks into Joe Biden's administration, his number 2 Kamala Harris has reportedly taken over key policy decision making role.

Biden's senility has reportedly gotten so worse that Democrats have started treating Kamala Harris as the one in charge at the White house.

While Biden motorcaded from Camp David to DC Monday evening, Harris is reportedly doing his job for him. According to The National Pulse Harris has been making head of state calls to foreign leaders.

The White House published a readout yesterday entitled 'Readout of Vice President Kamala Harris Call with President Emmanuel Macron of France.'

Such statements are normally released for calls between Biden and foreign heads of state. Harris also reportedly spoke recently to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.

During last year's presidential election campaign, President Trump and other medical experts warned that Biden was not mentally fit for the grueling office of the presidency. Biden even stopped campaigning for months when his mental deterioration became too obvious for the media to ignore.

Rand Paul Destroys ABC Left-wing Host In Heated Debate About Election Fraud Claims

Keneci Channel

Left-wing Democrat and ABC host George Stephanopoulos during an interview Sunday morning, tried unsuccessfully to get Republican senator Rand Paul (R-KY) to say that there was no fraud in last November's presidential election.

"The election was not stolen, do you accept that fact?” Stephanopoulos repeatedly pressed the senator.

Paul promptly rejected the premise of his questions, and cited several examples of irregularities and frauds.

The senator also called out the left-wing host's blatant bias and partisanship unbecoming of a so-called journalist.

"You're forgetting who you are ... as a journalist,"Paul shot back during a heated back and forth with Stephanopoulos. "You're inserting yourself into the story to say I'm a liar because I want to look at election fraud; and I want to look at secretaries of state who illegally changed voting laws without the permission of their state legislatures."

WATCH the exchange between Rand Paul and George Stephanopoulos.

Andrés Manuel López Obrador is reportedly planning to aggressively address the authoritarian power which big tech companies wield. Following President Trump's coordinated ban by U.S. social media companies, the Mexican left-wing president vowed on Thursday, to take on the global companies.

“I can tell you that at the first G20 meeting we have, I am going to make a proposal on this issue,” López Obrador said. “Yes, social media should not be used to incite violence and all that, but this cannot be used as a pretext to suspend freedom of expression.”

“How can a company act as if it was all powerful, omnipotent, as a sort of Spanish Inquisition on what is expressed?” López Obrador asked.

López Obrador had earlier in the week condemned social media companies following their decision to suspend or outright ban Trump from using their platforms.

“I don’t like anybody being censored or taking away from the right to post a message on Twitter or Face(book). I don’t agree with that, I don’t accept that,” López Obrador said. “How can you censor someone: ‘Let’s see, I, as the judge of the Holy Inquisition, will punish you because I think what you’re saying is harmful.’ Where is the law, where is the regulation, what are the norms? This is an issue of government, this is not an issue for private companies.”

Other international figures have also spoken out against the censorship, including officials in Australia, France, Germany, Russia, and Poland.

Following the ban, Twitter and Facebook have lost $51B in market cap in two days; and many are turning to pro-free speech platforms like Gab and GabTV.

John Earle Sullivan from Utah, is charge with violent entry of a restricted building and disorderly conduct.

An affidavit of probable cause for Sullivan's arrest contains screenshot of video posted online which shows him going into the Capitol building.

The affidavit reads in part:

"After the crowd broke through the last barricade, and as SULLIVAN and the others approach the Capitol Building, SULLIVAN can be heard in the video saying at various points: 'There are so many people. Let’s go. This s--- is ours! F--- yeah,' 'We accomplished this s---. We did this together. F--- yeah! We are all a part of this history,' and 'Let’s burn this s--- down.'"

Sullivan who is scheduled to appear in court Friday, claimed he was nearby when Capitol police fatally shot Ashley Babbitt inside the building. He described the shooting during an interview with CNN’s Anderson Cooper that night, where the left-wing network promoted him as a 'social justice' activist.

The left-wing activist is the founder of 'Insurgency USA,' a marxist group involved in the destructive Black Lives Matter and antifa riots throughout last summer.

In the pictures she shared on Twitter captioned "perfect first date," the 23 year-old e-girl is seen tied up with rope, with tape over her mouth. Several show her bundled into a car - in one, she's even in the boot - while in another it appears that her 'kidnapper' is having sex with her against her will. 

The South African-born adult content streamer whose real name is Mary-Belle Kirschner, apparently did not see anything wrong with posting content with themes of kidnapping and rape.

The degenerate photos however sparked outrage online with many accusing her of peddling paedophilia, and calling for her to be "cancelled."

Delphine however did not back down. "There is nothing wrong with enjoying power-play and BDSM where both people are consensual," she wrote in a long statement screenshot of which she posted on Twitter. "I think saying because I enjoy consensual non-consent is promoting rape, is the same as the argument that violence in video games promotes violence."

Democrats in their article of impeachment, charged the president with "incitement of insurrection," falsely claiming he bears the blame for the protests which took place on the Capitol on January 6.

"If we impeached every politician who gave a fiery speech to a crowd of partisans, this Capitol would be deserted," Republican congressman Tom McClintock, R-Calif. said, defending Trump. "That's what the president did. That is all he did."

McClintock called out Democrats  for making provocative speeches last summer in support of Black Lives Matter protests that precipitated violence and looting in the name of racial injustice.

However in their speeches, Democrat lawmakers apparently uninterested in the veracity of their claims, focused on smearing the president and his supporters

"He must go," House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said. "He is a clear and present danger to the nation that we all love."

Congressman Jim Jordan called out Democrats' hypocrisy. “In his opening remarks, the Democrat chair of the Rules Committee said that Republicans last week voted to overturn the results of an election," Jordan said, referring to Democratic Rep. Jim McGovern of Massachusetts. "Guess who the first objector was on Jan. 6, 2017? First objector: the Democrat chairman of the Rules Committee. And guess which state he objected to? Alabama. The very first state called [for Trump]." 

The House voted 232-197 to impeach the president. Ten liberal Republicans including congresswoman Liz Cheney, R-WY joined with Democrats.

Trump supporters online slammed the 10 Republicans, calling them traitors. Jordan among others called for Cheney to lose her position as House Republican conference chairwoman.

The German bank was a top lender to the Trump Organization, the president's business empire run by his twoo sons Don and Eric.

Deutsche Bank's move follows New York-based Signature Bank's announcement that it was closing his two personal accounts, which held a combined $5.3m in deposits. The New York bank has previously financed Trump’s Florida golf course. Ivanka Trump sat on its board. 

In a statement the New York-based bank called on Trump to quit and falsely claimed that Trump encouraged the protests that took place on the Capitol on January 6.

The globalist left-wing onslaught against free speech and dissent escalated following the January 6 protest against congress' certification of what Trump supporters say is a fraudulent presidential election result.

The US Professional Golfers’ Association last Sunday said it would no longer hold its championship in May 2022 at Trump’s New Jersey golf club. "This is a breach of a binding contract," Trump Organization said in a statement. "And they have no right to terminate the agreement.”

Big tech giants have also joined the crusade against dissent and free speech,with Amazon, Apple Google among others de-platforming Parler, taking the pro-free speech social network offline.

Twitter's decision to ban President Trump seem to have backfired. The shares of the social media company are down 7% in premarket trading Sundat night.

The social media company's arrogant and authoritarian decision to ban it's most most popular user and the president of the United States spooked analysts and traders who believe the already bot-infested company may lose even more users and relevance.

In an apparently coordinated effort last week several tech companies including Facebook and Shopify banned Trump from their websites, sparking outrage among the president's supporters. Since then, Amazon has also kicked off pro free speech social network Parler from its Amazon Web Services, putting the network offline.

House Democrat congressman Emanuel Cleaver Sunday, in apparent perverted attempt to be 'gender-inclusive,' ended the opening prayer for the 117th Congress with "Amen and a-woman."

This immediately drew criticism and mockery on social media. As congressman Guy Reschenthaler pointed out on Twitter, "Amen is Latin for 'so be it.'"

Shockingly, Cleaver is an ordained United Mthodist pastor, yet is apparently clueless about basic Biblical knowledge.

Democrats have also introduced rules that would change “pronouns and familial relationships in the House rules to be gender-neutral or removes references to gender, as appropriate, to ensure we are inclusive of all Members, Delegates, Resident Commissioners and their families – including those who are nonbinary.”

The new House sworn in Sunday re-elected California Rep. Nancy Pelosi as speaker but with the slimmest majority in her speakership. She got 216 votes for the gavel with five Democrats defecting. The speaker will now preside over a 222-member Democratic caucus against a 211-member Republican minority.

Ryan 'King Ry' Garcia established control through aggression early in the fight, pressuring through Campbell's jab to land his own hard left hooks and straight right hands. 

But, in Round 2, Campbell landed a huge sweeping left hook that rocked back Garcia's head and dropped the 22-year-old prodigy to the canvas.

The 22 year-old did not get flustered but calmly made it back on his feet, and battled his way to the end of the second round.

By the fifth round, Garcia's power was already taking its effect on Campbell. The 33 year-old Englishman was wearing down with one hard shot after another.

The knockdown count was almost levelled at the end of the fifth round when Garcia rocked Campbell with a left hand that nearly sent him through the ropes.

Finally at 1:58 minutes in the seventh round, Garcia landed a vicious left-handed thudding body shot. Campbell went down on his knees with both gloves on the mat.

As the referee was counting, it was obvious the 2012 Olympic gold medalist was not going to make the count; making Garcia the interim WBC lightweight champion.

"I've never been dropped in my life," Garcia said after the fight. "I think I got a little too excited over the moment. I knew I was in control and I wanted to dog him. I wanted to crack him and he cracked me. ... I was a little dizzy. I ain't gonna lie. But it wasn't that bad."

Garcia also said he "knew it was going to be a body shot a long time ago because God told me so."

Campbell complimented Garcia for his performance during the fight. “He’s very heavy handed. Even when I was blocking the shots, I could feel them,” Campbell said. “That was the hardest shot I was ever hit with. I tried and tried to get up, but I couldn’t. I felt him coming on, and I was moving back, and when you move back my body relaxed a little bit and that’s the exact time he hit me.”

“He did so well to get up from the shot in the second round,” the Olympic gold medalist added. “I felt that through my arm and knew it was a beauty but all credit to him, he got up and showed he’s got real heart."

Elsewhere on the card, Roger Gutierrez pulled off a massive upset in getting the decision over Rene Alvarado to claim the WBA (regular) super featherweight title. The challenger scored three knockdowns en route to claiming the secondary title over Alvarado, who saw his eight-fight winning streak ended in defeat. Gutierrez was emotional after the win, announcing that the fight was in honor of his mother who died early in December.

Felix Alvarado defeated DeeJay Kriel via TKO - Round 10 to retain IBF junior flyweight title; while Ryan Garcia's 20 year-old brother Sean also defeated Rene Marquez via majority decision (38-38, 39-37, 39-37).

Kate Abdo who covered the Ryan Garcia -- Luke Campbell fight for DAZN in Dallas  sent boxing fans wild when she complimented Garcia’s dad Henry for having “good sperm” before his winning fight.

“Sean Garcia already fought, Ryan Garcia of course the main attraction. Abdo said while interviewing Henry Garcia before the WBC champion’s fight.

“You make them pretty, you make them athletic, that's some good sperm you got there, Sir.”

Hilarity ensued on social media as footage of the comments went viral.

Dino De Souza, 40, and Saulo Gomes, 30, approached Olga, 27, at a local bar during a holiday in Barcelona on 19 August, 2019, and were immediately captivated by her. The throuple live in France.

“Saulo and I arrived in Barcelona and went directly to a bar to see the Champions League game which was showing that night," Dino said. “We entered the bar and Olga was there with a group of friends. We approached her and we invited her to go and get a drink with us, and that was where our beautiful story began.”

The throuple said they initially received shocked reactions from friends and family who understandably were horrified by such degenerate relationship.

“In the beginning, we received many shocking messages from friends and family trying to understand what was happening," Dino explained. “We have been calm, explaining to them what we feel for Olga and that we have not changed as people, but instead have grown from this relationship."

"We don't get a lot of comments but we get a lot of confused looks from people," he continued. "When they have an opportunity to get to know us and talk, they completely change the way they were thinking about our relationship. They got surprised and changed negative opinions that they had before.”

Dino said the throuple are not bothered about the haters. "We also don't give a fuck what people think about us!" he declared.

The throuple apparently take a vote when they make life decisions. “When it's time to decide something, we vote and the vote that has the highest number wins,” Dino explained. “We do not have negative points. I will not say it will always be that way, but for the moment, we do not let the negativity enter into our relationship. We always have discussions and find solutions to avoid negative situations."

“If one person has a problem, that becomes a problem for all three of us," Dino continued. “We stop everything we are doing and try to solve it as soon as possible to preserve peace in our relationship and avoid unnecessary stress."

The throuple said they intend to start a family in the future

 She said her dadThe 21 year-old e-girl, real name Mary-Belle Kirschner, who also plans to release a sex tape; is charging fans $35 to access her saucy content on OnlyFans.

Delphine's mom however is not on board with the degenerate venture. "I've told my mom, and she is not happy with it," she told the Impaulsive podcast. She said her father is not in her life.

The South African-born British adult content streamer said that her boyfriend's family are "very like weirdly chill about" her OnlyFans venture.

"The way that I thought about it was, what I'm doing at the moment, right now, it's basically kind of masturbating videos.," Delphine argued. "This content as it is, I would already hate for my future kids to see, I mean it's already shit, right? So the way that I thought about it is like, I've already gone down that line of it being uncomfortable."

The soft-spoken e-girl in one of the most degenerate trends of 2019, offered her fans the opportunity to buy some of her bathwater for about $34. The online store description insists the suds are “bottled while (she’s) playing in the bath.”

The 'GamerGirl Bath Water' actually sold out.

The CEO Andrew Torba announced the launch Monday in a blog post.

"GabTV offers a familiar viewing experience that people know and love combined with the highest video quality, processing speed, and performance on the market," Torba wrote.

Like on YouTube, anyone can watch and share GabTV videos for free, while anyone with a Gab account can comment on and like or dislike videos. For now GabPRO subscribers can upload videos.

"Our goal is to provide a platform for content of the highest quality from the best independent creators on the internet," the CEO wrote. "Our business model is to sell our valuable video hosting and distribution service to creators rather than track, censor, and data-mine users like our competitors."

GabTV, Torba said, is "an alternative to tyrannical Big Tech platforms and legacy media outlets that have been working to silence any and all dissent from the 'approved' narratives of the establishment oligarchs."

Gab social network was launched in August 2016 in response to the growing authoritarian and monopolistic practices by Silicon Valley giants like Facebook and Twitter, according to Torba.

Alternative social media and video streaming platforms like Gab and BitChute gained momentum in recent months as users flee to the free speech-friendly platforms, following unprecedent censorship campaigns on big tech platforms like Twitter and YouTube.

Neverware's software CloudReady OS is used to transform old personal computers into Chromebook devices. The company announced the acquisition on Twitter, and Google later confirmed the news in a statement.

"We can confirm that the Neverware team is joining the Google Chrome OS team," Google said in a statement. The tech giant had taken part in Neverware's Series B funding round three years ago; and plans to make CloudReady an official product.

CloudReady OS is primarily aimed at schools and enterprises that want to transform fleets of machines into Chromebooks. There's also a free Home edition that anyone can use.

Thousands of anti-lockdown protesters flock to British cities Saturday, as the government plans to tighten wuhanvirus rules for England, Wales and Scotland.

In spite of extra police deployment to enforce compliance with the lockdown rules, protests still went ahead in cities including Newscatle and London.

Protesters marched up White Hall after gathering at the Parliament Square in London. Videos circulating online show officers tackling protesters to the ground. Several protesters were made by police.

"I'm going to keep doing this until we're free," Andreas Michli said as he was led to a police van. He owns a gym in Wood Green that refused to shut its door during the second national lockdown.

Coronavirus laws outlaw gatherings of more than six outdoors, although there is a list of exemptions which includes protests where all relevant safety precautions are in place.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson's announcement Saturday, confirms the scrapping of the planned relaxation of lockdown rules for England, Scotland and Wales.

Tier-four restrictions - similar to England's second national lockdown - will apply in all areas in the South East currently in tier three, covering Kent, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Surrey (excluding Waverley), Gosport, Havant, Portsmouth, Rother and Hastings.

It will also apply in London (all 32 boroughs and the City of London) and the East of England (Bedford, Central Bedford, Milton Keynes, Luton, Peterborough, Hertfordshire, Essex (excluding Colchester, Uttlesford and Tendring).

In Scotland, Covid restrictions will only be relaxed on Christmas Day, with mainland Scotland being placed under the tightest restrictions from Boxing Day.

In Wales, First Minister Mark Drakeford announced that the country will be placed under lockdown from midnight.

There are no plans at the moment to change the current Christmas restrictions in Northern Ireland.

For tier-four areas in England, a stay-at-home order has been issued, with exemptions for those who have to travel to work or for education. Social mixing will be cut to meeting one person in an open public space. All non-essential retail will have to close, along with hairdressers, nail bars, indoor gyms and leisure facilities.

People will be advised not to travel into a tier-four area. The restrictions will last for two weeks, with the first review due on 30 December.

The announcement comes as calls for the government to re-evaluate the effectiveness of lockdown, grows.

"I know how disappointing this will be," Johnson acknowledged. "But we have said throughout this pandemic that we must and we will be guided by the science."

Mark Harper, the chairman of the Covid Recovery Group of Tory MPs, which has been highly critical of the government's strategy, called for Parliament to be recalled so MPs could debate and vote on the changes.

"This is a very sad day," he said. "Lockdowns and increasingly severe tiered restrictions have failed in their goal of slowing the transmission of Covid."

Thousands of scientists and health experts including many from the UK. have joined a global movement warning of "grave concerns" about wuhanvirus lockdown policies. They are calling for a more targeted approach focused on protecting the vulnerable, while healthy people get on with their lives.

The anti-corruption group Project Veritas Wednesday released the audio of the phone call that the Wikileaks founder made on August 26, 2011, to the Hillary Clinton-led State Department.

Assange told State Department lawyer Cliff Johnson that a former Wikileaks employee was committed to releasing the 251,000 U.S. embassy cables.

During the call, Assange said in part:

“Yes, so the situation is that we have intelligence that the State Department Database Archive of 250,000 diplomatic cables including declassified cables is being spread around and is to the degree that we believe that within the next few days it will become public and we’re not sure but the timing could be imminently or within the next few days to a week. And there may be some possibility to stop it.”

Johnson then asks the Wikileaks founder: "who would be releasing these cables? Is  this Wikileaks?"

To which, Assange responded in part:

“No, we would not be releasing them, we are doing our usual thing of continuing on with our redaction plan, but we have in the past 24 hours released a some 100,000 unclassified cables as an attempt to head off the incentives for others to release the entire archive, but I believe that nonetheless while we may have delayed things a little by doing that they will do so unless attempts are made to stop them. We have already engaged in some legal attempts to get them to stop but I think that it will not be enough.”

Assange is in the court in United Kingdom fighting extradition to the United States. Many high profile U.S. politicians -- including Democrat congresswoman and 2020 presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard -- have urged President Trump to pardon the Wikileaks founder.

LISTEN to the full call between Assange and Johnson.

The leaked database details nearly 2 million Chinese Communist Party(CCP) members who work in many countries and American companies.

Each data entry in the database contains the CCP member’s name, ethnicity, place of birth, education level, identification number and, in some cases, a phone number and address.

The leak reveals that Qualcomm, Pfizer and Boeing have employed dozens of CCP members in their Chinese facilities. The list also shows that 3 female CCP members are working in the United States consulate in Shanghai.

Communist Party members are also working in British consulates, universities and for some of the United Kingdom's leading companies -- including Jagua Land Rover, HSBC and AstraZeneca.

The list which was originally leaked on encrypted chat app Telegram, was passed to an international group of legislators, the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, including U.S. senator Marco Rubio, who is a vocal China hawk.

CCP members swear a solemn oath to "guard Party secrets, be loyal to the Party, work hard, fight for communism throughout my life...and never betray the Party."

Trump administration has been aggressively mobilizing the international community against the communist nation due to President Xi Jinping regime's malign interference and influence operation around the world, and their horrific human rights record at home.

The Texas Republican United States senator during a judiciary committee hearing Thursday, slammed YouTube's recent escalation of censorship on its platform.

"Silicon Valley believes there is no power on Earth that can constrain them. Cruz said. "We saw the latest illustration of this just yesterday, where YouTube announced that it is going to remove any content online that alleges widespread election fraud. [...] YouTube said that it's going to pull down, it's going to block, content, ‘that misleads people by alleging widespread fraud or errors change the outcome of the presidential election.' They're not even pretending anymore."

Cruz also clashed with Democrat senator Sheldon Whitehouse who argued that tech companies had the right to limit information they believed to be false.

"Even if you happen to temporarily like the politics of Big Tech today, I ask my colleagues on the Democratic aisle, do you really want to submit total control of the public debate to a handful of Silicon Valley billionaires, modern day oligarchs?" the senator asked. "With money and power and no accountability? They are not elected by your voters. They are not elected by my voters. They're not elected by anyone."

Cruz also co-sponsored legislation introduced by Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) to amend Section 230 to limit the liability shield under the Communications Act of 1934.

The North African nation is the 4th Muslim country to make peace with the Jewish state in 4 months under a U.S.-brokered deal. The deal will also grant overflight rights and direct flights to and from Israel.

As part of the deal, the president announced that the United States has recognized Moroccan sovereignty over the disputed Western Sahara region.

According to the White House, the president finalized the agreement with a phone call with Morocco's King Mohammed VI.

"Today I signed a proclamation recognizing Moroccan sovereignty over the Western Sahara," Trump tweeted. "Morocco's serious, credible, and realistic autonomy proposal is the ONLY basis for a just and lasting solution for enduring peace and prosperity!"

“Morocco recognized the United States in 1777," he added. "It is thus fitting we recognize their sovereignty over the Western Sahara.”

The Western Sahara is a desert region formerly under Spanish control, where a decades-long territorial dispute has pitted Morocco against the Algeria-backed Polisario front, which seeks to establish an independent state in the territory.

Morocco is was home to a large Jewish population. And has had informal ties with Israel before Israel's establishment in 1948.

“Everyone knows the warm ties of the kings of Morocco and the Moroccan people to the Jewish community there,” Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said. “Hundreds of thousands of Jews moved to Israel from Morocco and they form a living bridge between the people of Morocco and Israel. This solid base is the foundation on which we build this peace.”

Players of the Millwall Football Club in England Saturday, took the knee for the far left marxist Black Lives Matter movement, and their fans were not having it. Fans have not been able to watch in-person due to the wuhanvirus pandemic. First opportunity about 2000 of them got to be in the stadium, they registered their opposition to woke virtue-signalling in soccer.

The booing happened at the start of the team's match against Derby County at The Den.

O'Niell said there is no evidence that the fans are motivated by racism.

While the outraged woke 'social justice warriors' on social media frothing at the mouth, attacked the fans calling them the usual litany of vitriolic buzzwords: racists, bigots etc; others expressed support for the fans, pointing out that the BLM movement has only exacerbated racial tension in the west.

The club in a statement said: "what should have been a positive and exciting occasion was completely overshadowed, much to the immense disappointment and upset of those who have contributed to those efforts."

The 27 year-old former Real Madrid star is at the center of a sex scandal involving her model friend Rocio Amar.

Rodriguez allegedly cheated on his wife Aurah Ruiz with Amar. On an audio clip the model posted on Instagram, Amar can be heard saying that Ruiz is "crazy" and "boring." She also talked about the "sexual encounters" she had with the footballer in a Madrid nightclub.

In another bizarre move, Rodriguez also spoke to Ruiz publicly during her appearance on Spanish reality TV show 'La Casa Fuerte.'

"Good night, baby," Rodriguez reportedly said to Ruiz. "I want to tell you something, if you're happy continue, if you're not happy, you are not obliged to be there. I love to see you happy, and I see that you are not happy. If you want to continue, you have to win."

The 'play boy' act has cost the soccer star his contract at Parc des Princes. Paris St-Germain chiefs fired Rodriguez following the cheating allegations. He has made 18 appearances for PSG since a move from Madrid in 2016, scoring 2 goals.

Singer Noah Cyrus 20, used a racial slur, Wedneday, against conservative activist Candace Owens, for criticizing 'watermelon sugar' singer Harry Styles, 26.

Owens 31, had called out Styles for wearing a dress in a gender-fluid Vogue spread. "There is no society that can survive without strong men," she tweeted. "The East knows this. In the west, the steady feminization of our men at the same time that Marxism is being taught to our children is not a coincidence. It is an outright attack. Bring back manly men."

Styles seemingly responded by using Owens' direct quote in an Instagram caption on Wednesday/ "Bring back manly men," he wrote, alongside a photo of himself wearing a pleat hem suit for his new Variety Hitmaker of the Year cover shoot.

Enter Noah Cyrus, who on an Instagram Story Wednesday, shared a photo from the shoot and wrote, "he wears this dress better than any of u nappy ass heauxz." This sparked outrage on social media with many of her fans dragging her for using such an offensive word.

"Any one of woke liberals care to explain to me how @noahcyrus calling me a “nappy ass hoe” is not racist?" Owens responded on Twitter. "I’m all ears. You guys love cancel culture. @MileyCyrus come get your sister!"

After much backlash, the 'July' singer apologized. "i am mortified that i used a term without knowing the context and history, but i know now and i am horrified and truly sorry," she wrote. "I will never use it again."

Owens later responded to the apology on Instagram.

In a 45-minute speech recorded in the Diplomatic Room of the White House and posted on Facebook Wednesday, the president declared “This is maybe the most important speech I’ve ever made.”

Trump charged that last month’s presidential election was rigged and rampant with fraud. He addressed at length some of the allegations of fraud and voting irregularities featured in hearings across the country uncovered by his legal team led by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.

The president took aim at the surge in absentee balloting and early voting due to health concerns amid the wuhanvirus pandemic, the president emphasized that “we used to have what was called Election Day. Now we have election days, weeks and months, and lots of bad things happened during this ridiculous period of time."

The president also charged that "the mail and voting scam is the latest part of their four-year effort to overturn the results of the 2016 election. And it's been like living in hell."

The president said the fight for election integrity cannot wait. “If we don’t root out the fraud, the tremendous and horrible fraud that’s taken place in our 2020 election, we won’t have a country anymore,” he said.

Trump said his campaign would present the evidence of mass fraud in court. “We’re going to show it and hopefully the courts -- in particular, the Supreme Court of the United States -- will see it and respectfully, hopefully, will do what’s right for our country,” he said.

“As president, I have no higher duty than to defend the laws and the Continuation of the United States,” the president vowed. “That is why I am determined to protect our election system, which is now under coordinated assault and siege.”

WATCH Trump's speech.

The United States Attorney General revealed Tuesday that he appointed U.S. Attorney John Durham to lead a special counsel investigation into the origins of the Russia hoax. Durham has been investigating the corrupt actions by Obama administration officials which culminated in the costly 2-year Robert Mueller investigation.

“On May 13, 2019, I directed United States Attorney John Durham to conduct a preliminary review into certain matters related to the 2016 presidential election campaigns, and Mr. Durham’s review subsequently developed into a criminal investigation, which remains ongoing,” Barr wrote in the October 19 order. “I have determined that, in light of the extraordinary circumstances relating to these matters, the public interest warrants Mr. Durham continuing his investigation pursuant to the powers and independence afforded by the Special Counsel regulations.”

The decision to upgrade Durham to special counsel status means that a president Joe Biden cannot easily fire him without political repercussions. The special counsel rules say the appointed person can be fired only by the attorney general and for specific reasons such as misconduct, dereliction of duty or conflict of interest. An attorney general must document such reasons in writing.

Joe Biden allegedly played a pivotal role in weaponizing the intelligence community against President Donald Trump days before leaving office in January 2017.

Democrats and their left-wing mainstream media and big tech allies have been aggressively trying to suppress any negative stories involving Biden. The operation to cover up the biggest story of the entire election likely saved Biden’s campaign.

Victims were mowed down in front of terrified children who were out Christmas shopping with their parents Tuesday, as a driver ploughed through the pedestrian zone in Trier, Germany.

According to Trierischer Volksfreund, the car drove from Porta Nigra towards the main market and then into Fleischstrasse where four people, including a child, were killed, and up to 30 people were injured. Footage from the scene showed people outside a shop apparently helping victims on the ground lying among scattered debris.

Witnesses told how they saw families and a pram "flying through the air" as the Range Rover ploughed through the pedestrian zone in Trier, Germany.

One shop owner said panicked shoppers were screaming as they poured into her store as the car rammed into the crowds on the pedestrianised street. The driver reportedly left a "trail of destruction" before armed cops flooded the area.

Video circulating online appeared to show officers pinning a suspect to floor behind a Range Rover after apparently ramming the car with their own vehicle.

"We have a driver who ran amok in the city," Mayor Wolfram Leibe told SWR. "We have two dead that we are certain of and up to 15 injured, some of them with the most severe injuries." He later said at a press conference: "I just walked through the city centre and it was just horrible. There is a trainer lying on the ground, and the girl it belongs to is dead."

Uwe Konz, head of the Trier police press office, told BILD: "After driving through the pedestrian zone, several people were injured. Doctors are currently on site. We can't say anything about the background, whether it's terror or the like."

Police said a 51-year-old suspect from the Trier area was being questioned.

The president in a phone interview with FOX Business' Maria Bartiromo, slammed the media and big tech for propagaing the false narrative that there is no evidence of election fraud.

“This election was rigged. This election was a total fraud and it continues to be as they hide. And the problem we have, we go to judges and people don't want to get involved. The media doesn't even want to cover it. I mean, you're doing something,” Trump said. “You're actually very brave because you're doing something. The media doesn't want to talk about it. They know how fraudulent this is. It's no different than Hunter. It's no different than Hunter."

Trump also repeated his call to repeal Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 pertaining to liability protections. The legislation protects social media companies from being sued based on information users post to their site, as well as allows but does not require social media companies to moderate content.

“It's massively powerful, it's massively corrupt – the media and Big Tech,” Trump said. “Section 230 should be taken out because that's the protection that was given artificially to them. But it's a massive form of corruption and silence and suppression.

“Like, for instance, this conversation that we're having right now, they will only take if there's something that was slightly off like you or I mispronounced a word, you or I, that will be the story,” he continued. “And yet they won't talk about Hunter Biden. Never talk about it until Biden stole millions and millions of dollars. And if you do talk about them, they take you off their platforms. No, it's massively corrupt."

The president also railed against the judges that has been handling his campaign litigation. "We’re not allowed to put in our proof. They say you don’t have standing," he said. "I would like to file one nice big beautiful lawsuit, talking about this and many other things, with tremendous proof. We have affidavits, we have hundreds and hundreds of affidavits."

Trump said he couldn't be certain any of his cases would make it to the Supreme Court. "The problem is, it’s hard to get into the Supreme Court," he said. "I’ve got the best Supreme Court advocates, lawyers that want to argue the case if it gets there."

The interview comes as the president's campaign is involved in several legal challenges in battleground states like Pennsylvania and Georgia alleging voter fraud.

Trump said that he was "ashamed" he endorsed Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp after Kemp certified the state's presidential election results in favor of Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden.

"My mind will not change in six months. There was tremendous cheating here," the president warned. "If Republicans allow it to happen, you’ll never have another Republican elected in the history of this country, at a Senate level or at a presidential level."

Thousands marched through the city Saturday, chanting "freedom" while carrying signs that read "no more lockdowns." Piers Corbyn, brother of the former Labour Party leader Jeremy, was seen facing off with police at Marble Arch.

Officers grappled with people on the ground in attempts to detain them at different locations as onlookers jeered and filmed on their phones. Videos circulating online show police cracking down on protesters, including a lone man who howled in apparent agony and burst into tears as he fell to the ground during an arrest outside King's Cross St Pancra.

One protester, Naomi McGregor, called the police "thugs" on Twitter as she claimed she was slammed into railings when she tried to stop her friend's arrest. "My friend has just been arrested and I've been slammed into railings by @MetPolice thugs,"She wrote. "I tried to help him but they were in my face batons raised. They are not human, I don't know what they are."

Police say they arrested more than 155. “This was a challenging day for Met, City of London and British Transport Police officers and I would like to thank them for the professionalism they have shown throughout the day," Chief Superintendent Stuart Bell said. “On Friday, we made it very clear how we would police this event, warning those looking to attend that they risked facing enforcement action if they attended a gathering in London.

"Today’s enforcement action is a direct result of those individuals deliberately breaking the law and at times, targeting our officers with aggression and causing disruption to the road network.

“Our policing plan will continue well into the evening and I would urge anyone who hasn’t already dispersed to go home.

"By doing so, you can avoid ending up facing enforcement action and help protect yourself and others during this health crisis.”

The protests come as England has less than one week left of the second lockdown to contend with; and Up to 100 Tory backbenchers are threatening  to rebel against Boris Johnson's draconian new tier regime next week. A recent projection by economic experts reveals that Mr Johnson's decision to impose tougher Covid Tiers on 99 per cent of the country this week will cost the UK a staggering £900million a day.

Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was head of Iran’s secret military nuclear program, and was wanted for many years by Israel's famed spy agency, the Mossad.

Fakhrizadeh who is also a brigadier general in Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Corps, was reportedly assassinated Friday, along with six other companions, in Damavand, east of Tehran. He was reportedly taken to hospital by helicopter from the scene. He died shortly after.

"Armed terrorists targeted a vehicle carrying Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, head of the ministry's research and innovation organisation,"  Iran's defence ministry said in a statement on Friday. "After a clash between the terrorists and his bodyguards, Mr Fakhrizadeh was severely injured and rushed to hospital. Unfortunately, the medical team's efforts to save him were unsuccessful and minutes ago he passed away."

Referred to as “The father” of the Iranian nuclear program, Fakhrizadeh is by far the most important Iranian nuclear scientist to be assassinated to date, and. Past such assassinations have been blamed on the Israelis. Local news outlets are calling him a martyr.

News of the killing comes amid fresh concern about the increased amount of enriched uranium that Iran is producing. Enriched uranium is a vital component for both civil nuclear power generation and military nuclear weapons.

The commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) vowed that Iran will revenge the killing of the scientist. "Assassination of nuclear scientists is the most obvious violation of the global hegemony to prevent our access to modern sciences," said Major General Hossein Salami.

IRGC affiliated Fars news reports the assassination was done using an automatic machine gun operated with a remote control.

Fakhrizadeh and his wife were reportedly on their way to spend the weekend at their house in a Tehran suburb. There were three security cars with them and at a certain point the leading car left the motorcade to do a preliminary security check of the house. Then shots were fired on Fakhrizadeh’s car and it stopped. He stepped out of the car thinking his car hit an object on the road or there was a problem with the engine.

At that point shots were reportedly fired again from a Nisan pickup truck which stopped 150 meters from Fakhrizadeh’s car. The shots were fired from an automatic machine gun which was mounted on the pickup truck and operated by remote control. He was hit by three bullets – one hit him in the spine. Seconds later the Nisan pickup truck exploded in what looks like a self destruct mechanism.

The incident lasted only three minutes, according to Fars reports. Iranian security forces identified the owner of the pickup truck who left Iran on October 29th.

Neither Israel nor United States has commented on the assassination.

According to secret documents obtained by Israel in 2018, he led a programme to create nuclear weapons.

"Remember that name," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said as he identified Fakhrizedeh as the head scientist in the programme.

Fakhrizadeh a professor of physics was born in 1958 in city of Qom, Iran. He led Project Amad, the alleged covert programme that was established in 1989 to research the potential for building a nuclear bomb.

The former president made the comments in a radio interview Wednesday while discussing the outcome of the 2020 election.

More Hispanic voters -- contrary to pollsters' and TV pundits prognostications -- voted for Trump than voted for any Republican presidential candidate in recent history.

"There’s a lot of evangelical Hispanics who, the fact that Trump says racist things about Mexicans, or puts undocumented workers in cages, they think that’s less important than the fact that he supports their views on gay marriage or abortion" Obama said in part.

However election-day exit polls showed that many Hispanics were drawn to Trump's economic message and his 'law and order' message, especially following the months-long riots and violence perpetrated by far left 'Black Lives Matter' and antifa extremists in many Democrat-run cities.

Benjamin Netanyah and his Mossad Chief Yossi Cohen travelled to Neom, Saudi Arabia Sunday night-- in a private plane belonging to businessman Udi Angel-- to meet Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.

The Israeli and Saudi sides met with United States Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, and discussed Iran and Israeli normalizations with Arab states.

Pompeo has encouraged Saudi Arabia and other Arab states to follow the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain in establishing diplomatic relations with Israel. Thus far, Saudi Arabia has only allowed Israel to fly over its airspace. US President Donald Trump mentioned the possibility that Saudi Arabia would join the Abraham Accords Israel signed with other Gulf States.

The 5 hour trip was kept tightly under wraps as it was planned for over a month. Their plane left Israel at 5 p.m. on Sunday and returned after midnight. Netanyahu reportedly, did not inform his Defense Minister Benny Gantz or Foreign Minister Gabi Ashkenazi before the trip.

In an interview with Israeli Army Radio, Education Minister Yoav Gallant called the meeting an “amazing achievement” and “a matter of great importance.”

Officials from Saudi Arabia and Israel have been in open secret relationship in recent years, working together on regional issues like security, technological development, and in confronting their common enemy: Iran.

In the months leading up to November 3 presidential election in the United States, social media platforms like Facebook and Twitter stepped up their effort to censor and suppress conservatives and stories critical of the Democrat presidential candidate Joe Biden.

Since the election, Twitter has been aggressively applying warning labels to President Trump's tweets relating to the massive voter fraud that occurred in Democrat-run states during the election. Many users on Facebook and Twitter suddenly found themselves locked out of their accounts after posting contents exposing instances of election fraud.

What started as a trickle of high-profile conservatives creating accounts on free speech platforms like Gab and Parler.com, has become a flood since the election. Gab reportedly grew to 3.7 million users.

"People are getting on Gab because they heard about us from a friend, a family member, or co-worker," CEO Andrew Torba wrote in a blog post. "Gab isn’t growing because of “celebrity” endorsements, sponsorships, or big paid advertising budgets, but rather from the most powerful form of advertising on the planet: word of mouth."

Torba wrote that Gab apps are banned from Google and Apple app stores because "Gab does not, will not, and has never answered to the censorship demands of Apple and Google. Period."

Many popular big names have also joined other alternative social networks like Parler. Hollywood star Gina Carano, conservative personalities Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Tucker Carlson and Maria Bartiromo have all asked their followers on big tech platforms to join them on Parler.

Video streaming platforms like BitChute and Rumble have also seen spike in the number of users.

These smaller alternative platforms have few rules -- like no doxxing, pornography and direct threats of harm -- which means that most people banned from big tech left-wing platforms find a more welcoming platform where they can post content freely without fear of censorship.

“Parler, the rapidly growing social media platform committed to free speech, announced today that its previously unknown investor (NDM) is Rebekah Mercer, who is widely known for her dedication to philanthropy and upholding American values,” Parler said in a press release Saturday.

The billionaire conservative known for her backing of various conservative causes and charities, also revealed her investment in the popular social network in a post on Parler: "John and I started Parler to provide a neutral platform for free speech, as our founders intended, and also to create a social media environment that would protect data privacy. Benjamin Franklin warned us: "Whoever would overthrow the liberty of a nation must begin by subduing the freeness of speech." The ever increasing tyranny and hubris of our tech overlords demands that someone lead the fight against data mining, and for the protection of free speech online. That someone is Parler, a beacon to all who value their liberty, free speech, and personal privacy."

Alternative social networks like Gab and Parler have attracted millions of new users in recent months following crackdown on free speech on big tech platforms like Twitter and Facebook.

Abu Muhammad al-Masri(a.k.a. Abdullah Ahmed Abdullah)  was driving his white Renault L90 sedan with his daughter near his home at about 9:00 pm local time on August 7, when two gunmen on a motorcycle drew up beside him. Five shots were fired from a pistol fitted with a silencer. Four bullets entered the car through the driver’s side and a fifth hit a nearby car.

His daughter, Miriam, is the widow of Osama bin Laden’s son Hamza bin Laden. Hamza and other members of the Bin Laden family were freed by Iran in 2011 in exchange for an Iranian diplomat abducted in Pakistan. Trump administration said last year, that Hamza bin Laden had been killed in a counterterrorism operation in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region.

Israeli operatives with the help of the Trump administration, carried out the killing on the anniversary of the deadly 1998 attacks on American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, masterminded by al-Masri.

Al-Masri, 58, was one of Al Qaeda’s founding leaders and was thought to be first in line to lead the organization after its current leader, Ayman al-Zawahri.

Iranian authorities and Al Qaeda officials covered up the killing. They lied to the media, identifying the victims as "Habib Daoud, a Lebanese history professor, and his 27-year-old daughter Maryam."

Al-Masri lived in Tehran, under the protection of the Revolutionary Guards and later the Ministry of Intelligence and Security.

Neither the Netanyahu nor the Trump administration has commented on this story.

The Cupertino, California-based tech giant Tuesday, rolled out its M1 system on a chip(SoC) across its Mac portfolio -- MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, and Mac Mini.

The ARM-based 5nm chip with a whopping 16 billion transistors has a unified memory architecture -- the same memory is accessible by the CPU, GPU, I/O controller and other components without having to pipe the data through PCIe.

The CPU is composed of four big and four small cores; with the big cores sharing 12MB of L2 cache, while the small ones have 4MB of L2.

According to Apple, the CPU is more efficient than the “latest PC laptop chip,” and twice as fast when limited to 10W TDP. The GPU rated at 2.6 TFLOPS, is an octa-core design too, totaling 128 execution units.

The M1 chip brings the Apple Neural Engine to the Macs. The M1’s 16-core Neural Engine will run machine learning algorithms at 11 TOPS. There are also advanced media encode/decode engines on board as well as an image signal processor. Apple’s secure enclave is embedded in the chipset doing away with the need for the separate T2 chip.

The Neural Engine in M1 enables up to 15x faster machine learning performance, according to Apple. The company said that "with ML accelerators in the CPU and a powerful GPU, so tasks like video analysis, voice recognition and image processing will have a level of performance never seen before on the Mac."

The company announced that it's new macOS, Big Sur, is optimised to take full advantage of all the capability and power of M1. And with Big Sur and M1, Mac users can run a greater range of Universal apps which all of Apple’s Mac software will run natively on M1 systems. "Existing Mac apps that have not been updated to Universal will run seamlessly with Apple’s Rosetta 2 technology. And iPhone and iPad apps can now run directly on Mac."

How faster Apple can transition away from Intel, depends on how well the Rosetta 2 software can run Intel-based applications on the Mac.

Apple rolled out new Macs too.

The MacBook Air, which the company claimed, is 3.5x faster with up to 5x graphics performance than the previous generation, starts at $999. And you can get it with up to 2TB of storage and 16GB of memory.

The Mac Mini, with the same old design, starts at $699, and supports up to a 6K display via USB-C Thunderbolt ports with USB-4 support.

The 13-inch MacBook Pro gets 2.8x CPU gains and 5x GPU gains, and has a $1,299 starting price.
