From new video footage of the Titanic wreckage to a 'game changer' male contraceptive drug, here's the February 15 news bulletin.

The authors performed a series of experiments and found that while male mouse mating behaviour was normal, fertility was eliminated in the hours after the drug was given. [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmfjjsRbKCY). The more than 80 minutes of footage on the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution’s (WHOI) YouTube channel chronicles some of the remarkable achievements of the dive led by Robert Ballard that marked the first time human eyes had seen the giant ocean liner since it struck an iceberg and sank in the frigid North Atlantic in April 1912. Highest temperatures of 9 to 11 degrees in moderate to fresh southwesterly winds. Scientists say that this suggests the inhibitors (sAC) can reduce the movement of the mouse and human sperm, which is a key function. Mandate General Secretary Gerry Light said that the 2018 Employment Act helped retail workers by introducing “banded-hours” contracts which provide a minimum floor of hours and by getting rid of zero-hour contracts. Rare and in some cases never before publicly seen video of the 1986 dive through the wreckage of the Titanic is being released. The value of the alleged fraud is running close to the €1m mark, with some individuals reported to have given him up to €200,000. Officers attached to the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau carried out the raid. It is understood the drugs and arrests relate to the Kinahan Organised Crime Gang’s Dublin distribution network. Brianna was found with serious injuries on a pathway by members of the public in Linear Park in Culcheth, Cheshire, on Saturday afternoon. The report, which is called ‘Smoke and Mirrors’, finds that the biggest challenge to improving incomes is the number of hours worked in the sector.

Wordle 606: February 15, 2023 Hints & Answer (Screen Rant)

February 15th's Wordle is challenging to solve as there are few five-letter words with a similar spelling, and the answer has two repeating letters.

Wordle was purchased by The New York Times Company in 2022 and added to their website and app, keeping the core game free to play as promised - with additional words and other bonuses available through subscription, and is available via browser, iOS, and Android. Since today's Wordle answer features two repeating letters, players might want to use words that fit the criteria. [Wordle's hard mode](https://screenrant.com/wordle-hard-mode-guide/) doesn't guarantee players can solve the puzzle easily, it will force them to use words that might discover the correct position of a few letters.

We are going to look for ways to support the parties as they take steps that keep the viability of a two-state solution on the books and that, in tangible ways, seek to improve the lives of the Palestinian people in the meantime. engagement, through American leadership on the world stage, we have an opportunity to change the world for the better, to leave the world a little bit more secure, a little bit more stable, more prosperous, and filled with economic opportunity for people in this country but also for people around the world. But what I will say is that we are acutely aware of the challenges that the PRC poses to the United States, and those challenges come in many different forms – the threat of espionage or the misuse of private or confidential information on the part of private American citizens, American companies, the U.S. Of course that is something we are acutely aware of when it comes to the PRC, and we’re determined to do all we can to counter it.] MR PRICE: That’s just one of the details of the report I’m not in a position to confirm or to speak to. In the midst of Russia’s brutal war against Ukraine, despite everything that we were doing to support and are doing to support our Ukrainian partners and everything we imposed on Russia as a result of its brutal aggression, we’ve been able to bring home Trevor Reed; we’ve been able to bring home Brittney Griner. MR PRICE: I’m not in a position to confirm every detail in the report, but at the core of the report as I read it is an indication that we are committed to doing everything that we can to secure the freedom of the U.S. We are and we have been focused on working with our allies and our partners since the very start of this administration to reverse the dynamic that we previously had where the United States was on one side of the table, and it wasn’t Iran on the other side of the table, it was our closest allies and partners, including our European allies on the other side of the table. We – if we – the President has said we are not going to allow threats to emerge that pose a challenge to the United States, to our partners, to our allies. We are also mindful of the history, and we are mindful of precisely why the Syrian people are in such a perilous predicament that the earthquake has compounded in just devastating ways. That generosity, that commitment to the people of Syria, we’re just going to double down on that in the coming weeks and months.

Somalia. Several large-scale al Shabaab attacks on military bases across Somalia highlight that Somali counterterrorism efforts have not ...

[[39]](#_edn3d8a9e6867cb8f89cfe8a210638e16ad39) Taliban Minister of Defense Mohammad Yaqoub warned the Taliban leadership against becoming “arrogant” and implored them to listen to the “legitimate demands of the nation” in a speech echoing Haqqani’s critiques on February 15. The UN said the attack would likely be in retaliation for the burning of a Quran in Sweden on January 21. Disagreements between Taliban leaders will likely escalate unless the Taliban supreme leader compromises on hard-line social policies and returning some power to the Taliban cabinet in Kabul, despite some Taliban leaders’ efforts to mediate the dispute. [[34]](#_edn3d8a9e6867cb8f89cfe8a210638e16ad34) A government offensive would unlikely be more successful than previous failed government efforts to assert control over northern Mali, and it would lead the myriad of armed groups in the area to tighten their relationship with JNIM. Taliban Interior Minister and Haqqani Network leader Sirajuddin Haqqani gave a speech on February 11 to his supporters in Khost Province that criticized the Taliban leadership for its governance failures and monopolization of power, framing the current situation as “intolerable.” [[31]](#_edn3d8a9e6867cb8f89cfe8a210638e16ad31) See CTP’s latest [Africa File, “Al Qaeda–Linked Militants Take Control in Northern Mali,”](https://www.criticalthreats.org/briefs/africa-file/africa-file-al-qaeda-linked-militants-take-control-in-northern-mali) for a complete analysis on how JNIM is filling the security vacuum in northern Mali to gain de facto control of the region. [[14]](#_edn3d8a9e6867cb8f89cfe8a210638e16ad14) The Las’anod clashes have increased the likelihood of a potential showdown between Puntland and Somaliland, given the clan-based nature of the Las’anod conflict and Puntland’s shared clan ties with the Dhulbahante that serve as the basis for Puntland’s claim to the disputed territories. [[24]](#_edn3d8a9e6867cb8f89cfe8a210638e16ad24) Alternatively, Goita may have been trying to prevent a coup, though there is no evidence that any of the targeted commanders were involved in a plot. Somaliland security forces and militia from the Dhulbahante clan—a minority clan in Somaliland-administered territory that have a significant presence in the disputed regions and share clan ties with the majority clan in the semiautonomous Puntland State in northern Somalia Al Shabaab and the Islamic State’s Somalia branch are both active in Puntland State and the disputed regions. One of the February 11 attacks struck a base on the border of the Galgudud and Middle Shabelle regions. However, the Taliban supreme leader’s unwillingness to compromise will alienate important Taliban leaders and raise the risk of fracturing the Taliban movement over time.
