Getting Water And Fuel Out Of The Moon Is A Step Closer Thanks To These Projects

The return of humans to the Moon is hopefully just a few years away, and the goal this time is to establish a continuous presence on our natural satellite. Crucial to that is the human ability to use resources found on the Moon – and the big one is water. There is water on the Moon, but extracting it and purifying it is a big task. Luckily, there are people who are up for the challenge.It is a challenge indeed: the AquaLunar Challenge. This is an international project done in collaboration between the UK Space Agency and the Canadian Space Agency. The total prize is £1.2 million, split between a UK track and a Canadian track. The funding is not envisioned to build and deploy the technology, but to put forward intriguing prototypes. The UK has announced its 10 finalists, with a winner and two runner-ups being selected next year. Of course everything we do for space, we want it to help us here on Earth as wellDr Meganne Christian“We’ve had a first-round where a number of teams submitted their ideas for [the Challenge]. Then we had a judging panel and we have chosen 10 which will go ahead. They've got £30,000 each to create a prototype or whatever they can in the next few months and then we'll choose a winner and two runners up and they'll share in £300,000,” Dr Meganne Christian, UK Space Agency reserve astronaut and chair of the Aqualunar Challenge judging panel, told IFLScience.The finalists have various ideas on where they get the water from: the dirty ice buried in craters that have never seen sunlight or from the lunar soil itself, the regolith. They have multiple ways to purify the water, such as centrifuges, plasma, sound waves, and intense heat. The ideas are bold for sure.Even with the winnings, the prototype won’t be immediately ready to ship to the Moon. However, it might be an important next step for the future habitation of the Moon. Before it gets to the Moon, it might be deployed to purify water and make it drinkable here on Earth.“Absolutely that is one of the goals,” Dr Christian told IFLScience. “That is a big part of the challenge as well because of course everything we do for space, we want it to help us here on Earth as well. Anywhere you need light, compact water-purifying devices, this will also have a good impact there. That might be in remote communities, or for industrial runoff, or many different types of possible applications.”There have been some fascinating proposals lately on how to best use what we find on the Moon. From creating roads using lasers and lenses to having flexible rail tracks that can be used by robots, to 3D printing bricks using regolith… well, at least in LEGO form for now.  “All these really creative things are quite exciting things to see for the future of when we are going to have humans living and working on the Moon again. And that's just a small part of what's going to be a whole entire ecosystem. The first thing that we that we are doing is building a communication navigation system in orbit around the Moon.”Such a program, called Moonlight Initiative, is being developed by the European Space Agency, in collaboration with other organizations such as the Italian Space Agency, the UK Space Agency, and NASA.

The World's Highest Bridge Stands A Dizzying 565 Meters Over A River Valley

The World's Highest Bridge Stands A Dizzying 565 Meters Over A River Valley

The Beipanjiang Bridge has been described as “China's Impossible Engineering Feat.” Evidently, though, the stunningly high crossing is very much in the realm of possibility.Elevated a dizzying 565 meters (1,854 feet) above a river valley, the Beipanjiang Bridge is the highest bridge in the world – at least for now. Also known as the Duge Bridge, its construction was completed in 2016, becoming the first bridge in the world to ever surpass the 500-meter (1,640 feet) height barrier. It stretches for 720 meters (2,362 feet) over the mighty Beipan River at a location in Dugexiang, close to the border between the provinces of Guizhou and Yunnan in a mountain-ridden region of southwestern China. Completed in 2016, the Duge Bridge is part of the G56 Hangrui Expressway, which links vast parts of southern China.Image credit: ShakyIsles via Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA 4.0)It’s what’s known as a cable-stayed bridge, a crossing where the deck is directly supported by cables connected to towers, distributing the load evenly and allowing for longer spans with fewer supports."The trick is to try and not put too much or too little tension in each cable," Simon Pitchers, a Fellow of the Institution of Structural Engineers, told BBC Newshour while speaking about the construction of the Beipanjiang Bridge."If you get it wrong on a bridge like this, you'll have a wavy deck. And of course they haven't, it's been completed brilliantly,” he explained.Dominated by vertical limestone cliffs and mountainous topography, the surrounding region is home to a collection of immense road and railway bridges that are spaced across the landscape every 50 kilometers (31 miles) or so.                     China has become something of a bridge-building behemoth in the past few decades. Its four western Provinces – Guizhou, Hubei, Yunnan, and Chongqing – have 10 of the world’s 12 highest bridges, and the wider region has more than 50 other crossings that exceed 152 meters (500 feet) in height. This achievement is even more remarkable when you consider that China only had one bridge over 122 meters (400 feet) in 1994. More bridges are currently in the works – and the Beipanjiang Bridge will not have the title of the world’s highest for much longer. China is currently building an even higher bridge in Guizhou Province called the Huajiang Grand Canyon Bridge, with a designed height of 625 meters (feet). The project is expected to be completed in 2025, according to Chinese media.Engineers are also working on plans for the Yongchang Lancangjiang Bridge in Yunnan with a height of 610 meters (2,001 feet), which won’t be completed until 2027.  And lastly, if these lofty feats aren't impressing you, China holds the record for the longest bridge on Earth too: the Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge, a 164.8-kilometer (102.4-mile) long viaduct that shuttles high speed rail between Beijing and Shanghai.

Rumble CEO Rips Anti-Free Speech Advertising Giant: ‘That’s Illegal’

Rumble CEO Chris Pavloski broke down how biased tyrant advertising monopolies are killing businesses.  Pavlovski went on Fox Business’s Big Money to discuss why he and X owner Elon Musk are suing the World Federation of Advertisers (WFA) which, according to the Foundation of Freedom Online, controls 90 percent of all ad spending worldwide.  WFA uses its massive market control and its peer pressure campaign, the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM), to steer advertisers away from sites and audiences that express certain speech — oftentimes conservative speech. Pavlovski and Musk argue that this is a flagrant violation of antitrust laws.  “[W]hen you have a monopoly, and you create you create a monopoly by assembling all this power and control to dictate a certain standard of how you're going to spend that money, that's not a free market. The Sherman Act does not allow that, so that's illegal,” Pavlovski alleged. “There's different rules and standards when you're a monopoly.”. Earlier in the interview, Pavloski addressed why this is potentially a legal issue and not merely an advertising choice that happens to hurt Rumble. “If you're an advertiser and you don't want to advertise on Rumble or X, that's totally fine. You have the option to do that.”  Pavlovski explained that the problem is that WFA and GARM can “basically instruct these companies on whether or not and how they want to deploy brand safety standards” when choosing ad placements.  Such standards can completely exclude certain businesses, platforms and influencers from gaining advertising revenue by branding them unsafe. “[O]nce you have a huge consortium that creates a monopoly across all of the big ad budgets that dictate the brand safety standard, they then can now discriminate against certain voices on other platforms that they don't like,” Pavlovski said.  The Rumble CEO noted that these practices harm a multiple levels. He explained that WFA and GARM’s standards limit a business’s access to the market which results in ad agencies raising their fees, the price of ads increasing and ultimately higher costs for customers and shareholders. As Pavlovski put it, “that's not a free market.” Conservatives are under attack! Conservatives are under attack! Contact your representatives and demand Big Tech be held to account to mirror the First Amendment while providing transparency on WEF partnerships, clarity on so-called hate speech and equal footing for conservatives.

Abbott Educates Tapper About Walz's Abortion Radicalism

Abbott Educates Tapper About Walz's Abortion Radicalism

The only things certain in life are death, taxes, and the media trying to fact-check Republican claims that Democrats are the real radicals on abortion. Unfortunately for CNN’s Jake Tapper, Vice President Kamala Harris picked Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to be her running mate, and Texas Gov. Greg Abbott was there on Wednesday’s edition of The Lead to educate him on just how radical Walz is on the issue. Tapper naturally sought to paint Abbott as the radical, “And in that same time period, infant mortality rates rose 8.3 percent in Texas compared with an increase of 2.2 percent in the rest of the nation. Are you concerned at all about a possible link between your state’s abortion ban and these disastrous increases?”     Abbott claimed he was unfamiliar with the study, but it should be noted that Texas’s pro-life laws gave those babies a shot at life. Unfortunately, many didn’t make it, but if pro-abortion types had their way, they would not have even been given a chance. As for Abbott, he promoted the other side of the story, “For another, obviously, it leaves out the math of all the babies who survived and are alive. We have a record number of babies who are born now who did not lose their life to abortion.” He then turned his attention to Harris and Walz, “And this is an issue that you need to know Kamala Harris is going to have to deal with, just like Democrats had to deal with in the state of Texas. Kamala Harris supports abortion to the very last second before a fully developed child in the mother’s womb is born. That’s late term abortion. The baby can definitely feel the pain that definitely the baby who, if it survives one more minute, will be born, but instead, will lose his life.” A displeased Tapper responded, “Where – are there – these abortions being carried out up until the moment of birth? I keep hearing Republican politicians talking about that. And I mean, that’s infanticide. I don’t know where this is going on.” Abbott then informed him that, “it is in many states. It is the law of the states. The law in California, where Kamala Harris is from, is the law in Minnesota, where Governor Walz is from. And Governor Walz, from reports I`ve seen, was even against a law that they had that would have required medical care for any baby who actually survives an abortion. That’ something that needs to be looked into if he’s against that, because that would be another horrific policy by the Democrats and their zeal to try to kill young babies.” Indeed, Walz repealed provisions of Minnesota law mandating that babies who survived abortions be given life-saving treatment. Walz also repealed laws against coercing women to obtain abortions and once bragged that former Speaker Nancy Pelosi told him to tone it down. Abbott is also correct to point out Walz’s Minnesota has no limits on abortion. It is not Republicans’ fault that Walz sounds like someone Republicans created in a lab to paint Democrats as radicals, and if CNN bothered to do their own research, they wouldn’t have to leave it to Republicans to inform their audience of such radicalism. Here is a transcript for the August 7 show: CNN The Lead with Jake Tapper 8/7/2024 5:12 PM ET JAKE TAPPER: And in that same time period, infant mortality rates rose 8.3 percent in Texas compared with an increase of 2.2 percent in the rest of the nation. Are you concerned at all about a possible link between your state’s abortion ban and these disastrous increases? GREG ABBOTT: So Jake, for one, I’m unfamiliar with that study, and I don’t know if, for a fact, it does tie a cause and effect relationship. For another, obviously, it leaves out the math of all the babies who survived and are alive. We have a record number of babies who are born now who did not lose their life to abortion. And this is an issue that you need to know Kamala Harris is going to have to deal with, just like Democrats had to deal with in the state of Texas. Kamala Harris supports abortion to the very last second before a fully developed child in the mother’s womb is born. That’s late term abortion. The baby can definitely feel the pain that definitely the baby who, if it survives one more minute – TAPPER: Where – are there abortions being – ABBOTT: – will be born, but instead, will lose his life. TAPPER: Where – are there – these abortions being carried out up until the moment of birth? I keep hearing Republican politicians talking about that. And I mean, that’s infanticide. I don’t know where this is going on. ABBOTT: It is in many states. It is the law of the states. The law in California, where Kamala Harris is from, is the law in Minnesota, where Governor Walz is from. And Governor Walz, from reports I`ve seen, was even against a law that they had that would have required medical care for any baby who actually survives an abortion. That’ something that needs to be looked into if he’s against that, because that would be another horrific policy by the Democrats and their zeal to try to kill young babies.

CNN Commentator: Walz Meant 'Training' When Claiming He Carried Weapon 'In War'

CNN Commentator: Walz Meant 'Training' When Claiming He Carried Weapon 'In War'

If this is the best that Dem MSM hacks can come up with to defend Tim Walz's claim that he carried weapons "in war," Kamala Harris's VP pick could be in some real trouble. On CNN This Morning, host Kasie Hunt put it to former Hillary spokesperson Karen Finney, now a CNN commentator: "So, Karen, Walz did say that I carried in war. And we do know that doesn't seem to be the case. But he did, would have trained extensively in preparation for it, with these types of weapons." Finney latched like a drowning woman onto Hunt's mention of training: "Exactly. And so, my reading of it is, you know, he was, I think, talking about the training." Riight. This, from the people who urged each other to use the L-word -- "lie" -- when Donald Trump exaggerates his life story. If Walz had been an astronaut, and had trained for a lunar mission but never went on one, would Finney be okay with him saying: "When I carried an American flag on the Moon?" Finney promptly tried to switch the subject to Trump evading military service in Vietnam -- no shame from the Clinton backers there -- and his criticism of veterans and POWs like John McCain. Somewhere, you could hear Carville the Ragin' Cajun cackling: "Look over he-ah: a squirrel!" Fellow CNN commentator Doug Heye, a former aide to Republican House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, gave Walz a "welcome to the major leagues." Heye also noted the reverential, criticism-free treatment that the MSM has accorded Kamala Harris, and the fact that she has not sat down for an interview to field tough questions. But Heye ended with a more CNN-friendly tone by saying, "We're in a political campaign here. We know that Donald Trump fights dirty. If you want to say this is a dirty fight, fine: bring it." Is it fighting dirty to call out Walz's inflating his military record by stating that he was "in war," whereas he was never in a combat zone? CNN This Morning 8/8/24 6:06 am EDT KAREN FINNEY: The other thing that J.D. Vance has taken issue with is a comment that Tim Walz made -- it was actually about gun safety -- and he was talking about carrying weapons of war in war. He didn't say he was in combat. He was talking, you know, and he actually was a munitions expert, if I'm not mistaken. KASIE HUNT:  Let me, let me play those comments that he made, and then we'll play what Vance said just so that we can read our viewers in here. Let's start with Walz here, talking about weapons of war and gun control. Watch. TIM WALZ: I'll take my kick in the butt for the NRA. I spent 25 years in the Army and I hunt, and I gave the money back. And I'll tell you what I have been doing. I've been voting for commonsense legislation that protects the Second Amendment, but we can do background checks, we can do CDC research, we can make sure we don't have reciprocal carry among states, and we can make sure that those weapons of war that I carried in war is the only place where those weapons are at. HUNT: And then this is how Vance  characterized what we heard there from Tim Walz. Watch. JD VANCE: He was making a point about gun control. He said we shouldn't allow weapons that I used in war to be on America's streets.  Well, I wonder, Tim Walz, when were you ever "in war?" When was this, what was this weapon that you carried into war, given that you abandoned your unit right before they went to Iraq. And he has not spent a day in a combat zone. What bothers me about Tim Waltz is the stolen valor garbage. HUNT: So Karen, I mean, Walz did say that I carried in war, and we do know that that doesn't seem to be the case. But he did, would have trained extensively in preparation for it with these types of weapons. FINNEY: Exactly. And so, my read of it is, you know, he was, I think, talking about the training. Now he did deploy in support of, I suppose, my understanding is they could have been deployed further the into the war zone.  But more importantly I think, again, two things. Number one, the top of the Republican ticket not only didn't get out of, got himself out of Vietnam, got himself out of any kind of service, never wore the uniform of the United States, called John McCain a loser. Has a pretty wretched record when it comes to treatment of veterans and our men and women in uniform, particularly those who've been captured or injured. . . .  DOUG HEYE: Tim Walz, welcome to the major leagues. You know, you're no longer a governor of Minnesota who nobody's really ever heard of. You are in the spotlight right now. And after three weeks of nothing but the most positive coverage of, oh my God, Kamala Harris is the greatest person ever to walk the Earth, has never done anything wrong, and should be celebrated and honored, and won't get one word of critical, any critic, criticism. And by the way, won't sit down for an interview to get tough questions.  We're now in the major leagues. And what's JD Vance's role here on this campaign? Is to throw sand in the campaign's eyes. And that's what he's done. And they're reacting to this. We'll find out exactly what's true, what's not. I don't love questioning people's service. I want to honor those who've served. I think we want to encourage people for military service, for any kind of public service.  But we're in a political campaign right here. We know that Donald Trump fights dirty. If you want to say this is a dirty fight, fine, bring it. Here's where we are.

10 ways to lower your car insurance rates

10 ways to lower your car insurance rates

Car insurance rates are going up — and your driving record has nothing to do with it. Why? It's not you — it's your car. We all know automakers have been collecting data from their cars for a long time. At first, the idea was to use it strictly to identify problems. Let's say they notice a consistent pattern of idling problems across a certain model — now they can issue a technical service bulletin or a recall and get it fixed. Fairly benign, right? Except that somewhere along the line they figured out they could make money from your data. And these days the losses they're taking on every electric vehicle they make means money is tighter than ever. It's a lot more effective than other cash grabs they've tried, such as charging subscription fees for amenities like heated seats and navigation (customers got peeved) and getting rid of AM radio (turns out drivers want their AM radio). The best part is, the customer doesn't even have to know about it.Who wants this data? The federal government, the police, and especially insurance companies. Here's an example. Let's say you work in a neighborhood with high crime rates. They see you're there every day, Monday through Friday, nine to five. From that they conclude that your vehicle is in greater danger of being damaged or stolen. Higher rates for you!"But I park in a parking garage!"They don't know that. This is all done by computer or AI.The computer also makes decisions based on your driving style. Maybe there was a squirrel on the road or there's a pothole you avoid every day. So you make a perfectly safe defensive maneuver. As far as the computer's concerned, you may as well have been eating a slice of pizza while taking a selfie. Only the inputs matter: The computer records this swerve without knowing why you did it. It adds up, and soon you're not quite the safe driver you thought you were.The computer knows how fast you drive, where you go, and more. You create that data, but it's not yours. It belongs to the car companies. And I've actually asked car manufacturers, "What are you doing with that data?" And they always say, "It's secure. We don't just post it somewhere.""No, but you're selling it to make up for your losses on the EVs nobody wants!" That's the bad news. Here's what you can do about it. 1. Shop around for insurance every six monthsNobody's idea of a good time, but it can save you money. You can compare rates online with sites like Get Jerry or Progressive's AutoQuote Explorer. 2. Bundle insuranceIf you've got renter's insurance, homeowner's insurance, or other vehicles, bring them all together under the same insurer — that can make a huge difference. 3. Pay your premium in advance Opting to pay your entire premium up front instead of spreading it out over six months can often save you a few bucks. 4. Increase your deductibleGot a $500 deductible? Raise it to $1000. There's obviously a downside to this: If you do have an accident, you'll be on the hook for $1000, not $500, out of pocket. But if you're willing to assume the risk, it's a good way to keep more money. 5. Go paperlessMany companies will offer you a 5-10% discount if you switch from paper to electronic billing.6. Get good gradesGot a student driver on your insurance? Some companies will let you save 10-25% if he or she is at least a B student. You just have to let them know. It could be well worth it, especially if you have multiple kids driving.7. Take a defensive-driving courseWe know that having a clean driving record keeps rates low. You can also be proactive about your skill behind the wheel by taking a defensive-driving course. AAA offers one, as does the National Safety Council and many private companies. Usually it's just a couple of hours, which are well spent if you can save on your insurance rate. 8. Improve your credit scoreHaving a higher credit rating can mean lower rates. Sites like Credit Karma and NerdWallet have tips on how you can do this. 9. Sign up for telematics, or usage-based insuranceTelematics insurance means you pay according to how many miles you drive. I don't recommend this. While you could save money if you drive less, this will also capture other data, which could raise your rates. Or you could try what a friend of mine did. He would drive his car down the street, park it, and then drive his wife's car, so it looked like he was barely driving his car at all. Did it work? I don't know — but it seems like a lot of effort to game the system. 10. Talk to your elected officials As I've told you in a previous article, there's a push to install AI cameras on roads to issue citations. Are you speeding? Are you wearing a seatbelt? Do you have a phone in your hand or on your lap? A computer, not a police officer will decide — so no chance to explain yourself. It's already passed as part of the $15.6 billion infrastructure bill — money going to towns, counties, and local municipalities around the country. So now is the time to talk to your elected officials on a local level and say, "I don't want this, and I don't want to give up my privacy." The more people speak up, the better.

BOMBSHELL: Kamala’s husband is a degenerate CHEATER and 'the women of America WILL care'

BOMBSHELL: Kamala’s husband is a degenerate CHEATER and 'the women of America WILL care'

In a bombshell report from the Daily Mail, it was just revealed that Vice President Kamala Harris’ husband, Doug Emhoff, impregnated his former nanny, Najen Naylor, while married to his ex-wife. Naylor also was a teacher at their children’s pricey Los Angeles private school, and she did not deny the story. Her only reaction was that she was “kind of freaked out.” Emhoff was married to his first wife for 16 years when they divorced. “We don’t know if she aborted the baby, which would be horrible, we don’t know if she kept the baby, and Doug Emhoff just abandoned her and didn’t recognize her as the daughter or son that he or she was, which would also be awful,” Liz Wheeler comments, disturbed. When this happened, the nanny reportedly quit the private school where she taught and fled to New York to get away from the scandal. “Where’s the mainstream media telling us what an awful pig this man is?” Wheeler asks. “I always wondered what kind of man would marry a gold digger like Harris, someone who was a home-wrecker, who dated Willie Brown when he was married in order to advance her own political career.” “Well, now we know. A man who would impregnate the nanny of his elementary school-aged child,” she continues, adding, “What a despicable man, what a degenerate of a man.” While the news is disturbing in itself, Wheeler’s biggest question is how it will impact the 2024 election. “The women of America will care if they hear about it. If the mainstream media is not successful in stifling this story, the women of America will care,” she says.

19-year-old Taylor Swift concert plotter, radicalized by Islamic State, wanted to 'kill as many people as possible': Police

The arrested 19-year-old Taylor Swift concert plotter was radicalized by the Islamic State, "thinks it is right to kill infidels," and confessed he wanted to "kill as many people as possible," the Associated Press reported, citing Austrian authorities.Swift's shows scheduled for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at the Ernst-Happel-Stadion in Vienna were canceled Wednesday for safety reasons.'Authorities also found Islamic State group and al-Qaida material at the home of the second suspect, a 17-year-old Austrian. He was employed a few days ago by a company providing services at the venue for the concerts, and was arrested by special police forces near the stadium.'Officials said the 19-year-old Austrian suspect began working on his terror plot in July and just a few weeks ago uploaded to the internet an oath of allegiance to the leader of the Islamic State group militia, the AP said.He was “clearly radicalized in the direction of the Islamic State and thinks it is right to kill infidels,” said Omar Haijawi-Pirchner, head of the Directorate of State Security and Intelligence, according to the outlet.The suspect "wanted to carry out an attack in the area outside the stadium, killing as many people as possible using the knives or even using the explosive devices he had made," Haijawi-Pirchner added to the AP.Concert organizers told the outlet they were expecting up to 65,000 Swift fans inside the stadium at each show — and as many as 30,000 onlookers outside the stadium.The foiled attack was planned for Thursday or Friday, Austria’s interior minister, Gerhard Karner, told the AP. The outlet added that neither the 19-year-old suspect nor a second suspect, a 17-year-old, appeared to have a ticket to any of Swift's shows.More from the AP:During a raid of the main suspect’s home in Ternitz, south of Vienna, investigators found chemical substances and technical devices that indicated “concrete preparatory acts,” said Franz Ruf, Director General for Public Security at the Ministry of the Interior. Authorities also found Islamic State group and al-Qaida material at the home of the second suspect, a 17-year-old Austrian. He was employed a few days ago by a company providing services at the venue for the concerts, and was arrested by special police forces near the stadium.Karner said no other suspects are being sought, the outlet noted, although police interrogated a 15-year-old who had been in contact with both suspects.The AP said Swift and her team haven't publicly addressed the plot or canceled shows.The outlet in its story referenced the deadly July 29 mass stabbing at a Taylor Swift-themed children's dance class in Southport, England, during which a 17-year-old male was accused of killing three and injuring numerous other victims. Swift at the time said she was ‘’completely in shock’’ over the attack, the AP reported.Officials initially said there was no evidence that terrorism was a motive in the Southport knife attack, which angered many who accused the government of covering up evidence. Police identified suspect Axel Rudakubana and charged him with three counts of murder and 10 counts of attempted murder. Officials identified him as being from Cardiff but also noted that his parents are Rwandan.Unrest and violence erupted the day after the stabbings and have spread across the United Kingdom. Prime Minister Keir Starmer denounced the violence and blamed "far-right thuggery." Radio host Glenn Beck, co-founder of Blaze Media, on Tuesday opined that "two-tier justice" — in which police more or less ignore Muslim immigrant crime but come down hard on non-Muslims — has been laid bare in the U.K. in the wake of the deadly knife attack.ISIS took credit for a 2017 bombing attack at an Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, that killed 22. Suicide bomber Salman Abedi set up a knapsack bomb in Manchester Arena at the end of Grande’s concert as thousands of young fans were leaving, the AP said, adding that more than 100 were injured and Abedi died in the explosion. An official inquiry concluded that Britain’s domestic intelligence agency, MI5, didn’t act fast enough on key intelligence and missed a chance to prevent the bombing, the AP added.Swift is expected to perform five concerts at London’s Wembley Stadium between Aug. 15 and 20 to close the European leg of her Eras Tour, the AP said.Like Blaze News?
