Bill Gates Addresses Epstein Ties in Foundation Staff Meeting Bill Gates opened up to Gates Foundation employees about his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. Bill Gates answered questions directly during a town hall and acknowledged that he had made a grave mistake spending time with Jeffrey Epstein. The foundation stated that Gates accepted responsibility for his actions, and addressed staff concerns with great detail. Meeting topics included the US Department of Justice's recent release of Epstein files, the work of the Foundation in artificial intelligence and the future of the global health program. Gates says he did nothing illegal The Wall Street Journal reported that Gates apologized to his staff. Epstein was later made aware that Gates had engaged in two affairs with Russians. Gates, however, insisted that he had never committed any crimes and was not aware of anything criminal. According to reports, he told his employees that he had never spent any time or met with Epstein's victims. The employee said that he had never spent time with Epstein's victims or stayed at his properties. Gates acknowledged that he made a mistake by associating with Epstein. Gates said that he had to have done more research on Epstein before meeting with him. Even after Epstein's conviction, meetings continued. Gates first met Epstein in 2011. It was years later that Epstein had pleaded to a charge of soliciting a child for prostitution. Gates informed staff that he was aware of an "18 month restriction" which limited Epstein’s travel, but did not understand all the details at the time. He met Epstein up until 2014 and even outside of the United States. Gates said Epstein had claimed to be connected with billionaires, and that he suggested raising money for charitable and global health projects. He maintained contact despite warnings from Melinda French Gates. He admitted that Melinda French Gates had been skeptical of Epstein from the beginning. Re-examination of Files After Release In January, the US Department of Justice published new documents relating to Epstein. Gates is now 70 years old and has never been accused of any wrongdoing by Epstein's former victims. Melinda French Gates said recently that the renewed attention on Epstein brought back painful memories of their marriage. After 27 years of marriage, the couple separated in 2021. The Gates Foundation was one of the largest charitable organizations in the world. The foundation confirmed the Town Hall was part of Gates regular staff meetings, which are held twice a year. He answered questions from the audience and talked about Epstein's past.

Dark Web Agent Spotted Bedroom Wall Clue to Rescue Girl from Years of Abuse A specialist online investigator uncovered a simple but powerful clue that helped rescue a young girl from years of abuse shared on the dark web. Greg Squire works with the US Department of Homeland Security Investigations in a unit that tracks and identifies children shown in online abuse material. Early in his career, he faced one of the most disturbing cases of his life. His team named the victim Lucy to protect her identity. A Case That Seemed Impossible to Crack Images of Lucy were circulating on hidden online forums. The offender carefully cropped and edited the photos to remove clear identifying details. Investigators could not trace her location or confirm her identity. From visible light sockets and electrical outlets in the background, Squire’s team confirmed that Lucy likely lived in North America. However, that clue was too broad to act on. They contacted Facebook, hoping facial recognition tools could help scan family photos. At the time, the platform said it did not have the tools to assist in that way. The team had to rely on careful visual analysis instead of advanced software. Searching Every Detail in the Room Investigators examined every item in Lucy’s bedroom. They studied her bedspread, clothes, stuffed toys, and furniture. Eventually, they found a small breakthrough. A sofa visible in several images was not sold nationwide. A company had distributed it only in certain regions. That detail reduced the potential customer base to around 40,000 people across 29 US states. Even so, the list remained overwhelming. Then Squire noticed the exposed brick wall in Lucy’s bedroom. The Brick That Changed Everything Squire contacted the Brick Industry Association and asked for help. The organization shared the photo with brick experts across the country. One expert, John Harp, immediately recognized the brick. He had worked in brick sales since 1981. He identified it as a “Flaming Alamo,” a brick produced from the late 1960s to the mid 1980s at a plant in the southwestern United States. Harp explained a critical fact. Bricks are heavy and expensive to transport long distances. Builders usually source them locally. That insight shifted the investigation. The team cross checked the sofa customer list with homes located within 100 miles of the brick factory. The number of potential addresses dropped sharply. Narrowing Down the Suspect From a refined list of about 40 to 50 names, investigators reviewed social media accounts. They found a photo of Lucy with an adult woman who appeared close to her. Authorities traced the woman’s address. They also reviewed other properties linked to her and people she had lived with in the past. The possible locations narrowed even further. Investigators avoided knocking on doors too soon. If they alerted the wrong address, they risked tipping off the suspect. Instead, they sent photos of suspected homes to the brick expert to compare masonry details. A simple brick pattern, hidden in plain sight, helped guide the team toward the right location and ultimately toward Lucy’s rescue.

Two Men Jailed for Life Over Planned Attack on Manchester Jewish Community Two men have been sentenced to life in prison after plotting a deadly attack on the Jewish community in Manchester, which authorities described as potentially "the UK's most deadly terror attack." Plot Foiled by Undercover Operative Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52, aimed to smuggle firearms into the UK as part of an Isis-inspired plot. They were intercepted by an undercover agent who played a crucial role in stopping the attack. Greater Manchester Police confirmed the operation prevented what could have been a large-scale tragedy. Saadaoui received a minimum prison term of 37 years, while Hussein was sentenced to at least 26 years behind bars. Attack Plan Revealed in Court During sentencing, Mr Justice Wall said the plan would have caused numerous deaths and severe injuries. The men intended to fire AK-47 rifles into an unarmed crowd during a march. Court documents revealed that they planned to carry spare magazines, potentially discharging 120 bullets before reloading. The judge emphasized that the attack could have killed people of all ages, including children. Weapons Acquisition and Online Activity Saadaoui, originally from Tunisia and living in Abram, Wigan, sought to import four AK-47 rifles, two handguns, and 900 rounds of ammunition. He had made a deposit for the weapons and believed he was coordinating with a like-minded extremist named Farouk, who was actually an undercover operative. He also considered obtaining firearms independently from Sweden and Eastern Europe. In addition, Saadaoui purchased an air weapon and visited a shooting range to further his plans. Authorities discovered him after he used ten different Facebook accounts, none under his own name, to spread extremist content online. Lessons and Implications Police said this case highlights the ongoing threat of domestic terrorism and the importance of undercover operations in preventing mass casualties.

Tumbler Ridge Mass Shooting Leaves Small Canadian Town in Deep Mourning A quiet mountain town in western Canada is struggling to come to terms with an unthinkable tragedy. In Tumbler Ridge, nine people, including six children, lost their lives in one of the deadliest mass shootings in recent Canadian history. For years, residents believed serious violence could never reach their close knit community. That sense of safety has now been shattered. A Community That Felt Untouchable Tumbler Ridge is home to about 2,400 people. It sits along winding rural roads in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Many families work in the mining industry, which has shaped the town’s identity for decades. The area is also known for its natural beauty and its UNESCO recognised geopark, one of only five in Canada. Locals often left doors unlocked. Newcomers who took extra security measures were teased. Nothing like this had ever happened before. Now, that belief feels painfully naive. The Victims: Young Lives Cut Short Police confirmed the identities of the victims on Thursday. Among them was 12 year old Zoey Benoit. Loved ones described her as a brave and determined child. Another victim, 12 year old Kylie Smith, was remembered as the light of her family. She dreamed of attending art school in a big city one day. Flowers, teddy bears, and handwritten notes now line a memorial outside the local school. Each item reflects a life lost too soon. What Police Know So Far Investigators say 18 year old Jesse Van Rootselaar carried out the attack. Authorities found the suspect dead from a self inflicted gunshot wound at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School. Police stated that the suspect was born male and had begun transitioning to female about six years ago. Earlier that day, the suspect allegedly shot and killed their mother and step brother at a nearby residence. Officers later responded to reports of gunfire at the secondary school around 13:30 local time. The school has about 160 students. During the attack, dozens hid inside classrooms with their teachers. Seventeen year old Darian Quist said he and classmates barricaded themselves inside a mechanics classroom using metal tables. They stayed hidden for more than two hours before officers from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and SWAT teams escorted them to safety. Grief That Touches Everyone Parents gathered at a community centre as they waited for news about their children. For some, the wait ended in heartbreak. Local pastor Tracy Krauss said nearly everyone in town knows someone directly affected. Even families who did not lose a loved one feel shaken. The suspect’s mother and step brother were also among the victims. Community members say the surviving relatives are grieving as well. The suspect’s father, Justin Van Rootselaar, told CBC News that he was estranged from his child. He offered condolences to all families impacted by what he called a senseless act of violence. Support has poured in from across the country. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is scheduled to visit the town to offer his support. A Town Forever Changed Residents say the hardest part is that this happened in a place where everyone knows each other. The victims were not strangers. They were classmates, neighbours, and family friends. In Tumbler Ridge, grief now connects every household. The town may be small, but the loss feels immeasurable.
