3…………> Violence Against Women: Federal Crush Coming

.
LOS ANGELES – The Justice Department’s Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) will direct more than $33 million in grant funding to California to support efforts to curb domestic violence throughout the state, as the state grapples with the COVID-19 pandemic, with reports indicating that many cities are experiencing surges in domestic violence. The OVW grants will provide resources to local prosecutors, victim service providers, healthcare professionals, training organizations, and academic researchers, including several with national scope. Even with limited prosecutorial authority in domestic violence cases, the federal government remains committed to working with all of its partners to end the scourge of domestic violence.

Disturbing research shows that intimate partner homicides are common, with roughly 1 in 6 homicide victims are killed by an intimate partner.

4…………>  New China Sub: Threat To All USA

.
China’s newly commissioned nuclear-powered submarine, identified as the Type 094A, is equipped with ballistic missiles capable of hitting targets at a distance of 6,200 miles — the most powerful in the country, the South China Morning Post reported, according to a military source.

“The Type 094A is an upgraded version of the Type 094 that overcame one of the key problems – noise – by improving hydrokinetic and turbulent systems, allowing it to carry the more powerful JL-3”, the source disclosed last week.

Before the upgrade, the submarine was capable of firing the inferior JL-2 that could only hit the northeast United States, the source said, noting that currently, it is able to cover the whole American continent.
