We want them to feel they’re able to tell the court exactly what’s going on in their lives and ask for that protection.” Tackett presented the Remote Victim Outreach Program to officials in Marion County Tuesday. The program is in 11 counties, Tackett said the goal is to expand it to all 55 counties. Marion and Monongalia counties joined this week. The program will partner with HOPE Inc., to provide victims a safe place to go and access a judge through a virtual courtroom and request vital protection orders without having to encounter their assailant. The remote option is already available in Cabell, Harrison, Jefferson, Kanawha, Lincoln, Mason, Ohio, Wayne and Wood counties. Tackett said it’s important for people to feel safe and secure. The program came to Marion County after Family Court Judge Susan Riffle called Tackett’s office to discuss how small her courtroom was. With only one way in and out, as well as the fact that assailants and victims were in such close quarters, Riffle told Tackett she heard from victim advocates that people didn’t feel safe. “Even though there’s a bailiff in the courtroom, there’s still a lot of fear that happens,” Riffle said. “It’s important to the court system that we provide access, and that people feel safe when they’re asking for the court to protect them.” That spurred a visit from Tackett, who immediately agreed Marion County had to be part of the rollout with Morgantown after seeing what Riffle and the magistrates have to work with. In person hearings can be especially fraught for victims who have to share the room with their assailant. Nancy Hoffman, state coordinator for the West Virginia Foundation for Rape and Information Services, said intimidation doesn’t have to be spoken. It can be a look, a glare, or the assailant’s friends showing up and intimidating the victim through presence alone. “We know that having that safe space available where they can provide information, that makes more victims willing to come forward,” Hoffman said. “The more that victims are willing to come forward, the more offenders are held accountable. So it not only protects them in their situation, it protects those that are around them and that accountability can protect society.” Hoffman said she expects more victims to come forward now that this option is available. While remote technology offers a way for victims to access a judge without having to step into the courthouse, the option to do so will still be available. Magistrates and judges will need to work out the particulars of scheduling with Hope Inc., but the equipment has already been acquired for use, Tackett said. The units run between $5,000 to $8,000 dollars a piece, depending on what’s available. Tackett said her office reaches an average of three or four counties a year, so expansion to all 55 counties is still several years away. The federal grant that makes adding this option to courthouses opens on a yearly basis. She hopes to have the option available by Dec. 1. Anyone seeking to use the new system can file petitions during weekdays, after hours and on weekends through each county’s magistrate court by calling 911. “I hope it saves someone’s life in the process,” Tackett said.

The finding by the Famine Early Warning System Network appeared to expose a rift within the Biden administration over the extent of starvation in northern Gaza, with the U.S. ambassador to Israel, Jacob Lew, disputing part of the data used in reaching the conclusion and calling the stepped-up famine warning “irresponsible.” Northern Gaza has been one of the areas hardest-hit by fighting and Israel’s restrictions on aid throughout its 14-month war with Hamas militants. Israel at one point increased the number of aid deliveries it permitted into northern Gaza under pressure from President Joe Biden. But the U.N. and aid groups say Israel recently has blocked almost all aid again. Only nine U.N. trucks have been able to bring in food and water over the past 2 1/2 months, Oxfam says. Israel says it has been operating in recent months against Hamas militants still active in northern Gaza. It says the vast majority of the area’s residents have fled and relocated to Gaza City, where most aid destined for the north is delivered. But some critics, including a former defense minister, have accused Israel of carrying out ethnic cleansing in Gaza’s far north, near the Israeli border. FEWS Net said unless Israel changes its policy, it expects the number of people dying of starvation and related ailments in northern Gaza to reach between two and 15 per day sometime between next month and March. The internationally recognized mortality threshold for famine is Cindy McCain, the American head of the U.N. World Food Program, in a Dec. 15 appearance on CBS’ “Face the Nation” called for political pressure to get food flowing to Palestinians trapped in north Gaza. “We need unfettered access. We need a ceasefire and we need it now,” she said. “We can’t ... sit by and just allow these people to starve to death.” FEWS Net was created by the U.S. Agency for International Development in the mid-1980s to warn of global food crises. The United States, Israel’s main backer, provided a record amount of military support in the first year of the war. At the same time, the Biden administration repeatedly urged Israel to allow more access to aid deliveries in Gaza overall, and warned that failing to do so could trigger U.S. restrictions on military support. The administration recently said Israel was making improvements and declined to carry out its threat of restrictions. Military support for Israel’s war in Gaza is politically charged in the United States. Republicans and some Democrats have staunchly opposed any effort to limit U.S. support over the suffering of Palestinian civilians trapped in the conflict. The Biden administration’s reluctance to do more to press Israel for improved treatment of civilians undercut support for Democrats in last month’s elections. Lew, the U.S. ambassador, challenged the famine warning in a posting on social media, saying it was based on “outdated and inaccurate” data. He pointed to uncertainty over how many of the 65,000 people remaining in northern Gaza had fled in recent weeks, saying that skewed the findings. FEWS said its famine assessment holds even if as few as 10,000 remain there. “We work day and night with the U.N. and our Israeli partners to meet humanitarian needs — which are great — and relying on inaccurate data is irresponsible.,” Lew wrote. ___ AP writers Matthew Lee in Washington and Josef Federman in Jerusalem contributed to this report.

Defense Minister Rustem Umerov wrote about this on facebook , Ukrinform reports. According to him, this includes simplification of procedures. Thus, commanders of military units can purchase drones and tactical-level electronic warfare without unnecessary bureaucratic approvals from the General Staff and other military authorities. The resolution also provides for expanded access to framework agreements: military units can join agreements concluded by the procurement agencies of the Ministry of Defense and the State Service for Special Communications and Information Protection. This will allow them to receive equipment faster and at competitive prices. Umerov emphasized that the Cabinet's decision ensures not only prompt delivery of the necessary technologies to the frontline, but also supports Ukrainian manufacturers by providing them with the opportunity to develop and improve their products. “From now on, the military will be able to plan their needs more efficiently, and manufacturers will be able to focus on technological development and production scaling,” he explained.
