Relatives of U-boat victims describe moments before the start – and hours of despair
19-year-old Suleiman Dawood was on the Titan submarine. In the depths of the sea, he was pursuing a special goal, his mother said in an interview.
London – It was an extensive search. But there was no happy ending when the submarine Titan disappeared near the wreck of the Titanic. The deaths of the five passengers were announced on Thursday (June 22). But other people almost took their place – they refused to get on the submarine. On the other hand, one of the passengers wanted to set a world record for the depth of the sea. This was reported by the mother of 19-year-old Suleiman Daoud, who was on the expedition with his father, Shahzade.
Expedition to the wreck of the „Titanic”: 19-year-old Suleiman Dawood wanted to enter the Guinness Book of Records with his „Titan”.
Her son, a student at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow, Scotland, was a talented player on the Rubik’s Cube. Christine Daoud told the British broadcaster that he also wanted to solve the spinning puzzle known as the Rubik’s Cube nearly four kilometers under the sea. BBC. Before diving, the teenager applied for entry into the Guinness Book of Records. In order to capture the moment on video, his father took a camera with him into the mini-submarine, which former passengers described as „improvised”.
Tragic, because originally the mother herself wanted to dive into the Titanic with her husband. She said this in an interview with the British Broadcasting Corporation. But the Corona pandemic thwarted the plan and the trip was cancelled. Her son finally showed interest in himself. „Then I gave in and gave them a chance to set up Solomon because he wanted to do it.”
She said that before the two men finally boarded the Titan with three other adventurers, they hugged and bantered. While diving, Christine Doud and her 17-year-old daughter, Alaina, were hanging out on the Polar Prince’s mother ship — until shocking news reached them.
Submarine „Titan”: wife of a prisoner – „I never want to hear that sentence again in my life”
At some point they had heard that communication with Titan had been lost. „The sentence 'We’ve lost touch’ said the widow in a halting voice… I don’t want to hear that sentence again in my life.” “For now, I didn’t understand what that meant. From there it went downhill.”

Drama „Titan”: Suleiman Dawood’s sister had long hoped for a happy ending
On the other hand, daughter Alina clung to the idea that the submarine drama would have a happy ending. But then the devastating call came from the Coast Guard. “Then they basically told us they had found wreckage.” Thus the deaths of the five passengers were effectively confirmed. In order to process the tragedy and preserve the memory of the 19-year-old, mother and daughter have now set a personal goal together, they say. BBC.

WABC radio in New York fired Giuliani, who is close to Trump. He is said to have repeatedly spread lies about the 2020 US election.
WASHINGTON — Rudy Giuliani is no longer allowed to speak on conservative radio station WABC in New York. The lawyer and former mayor of New York, who is close to Donald Trump, has repeatedly spoken of Joe Biden’s victory being rigged in the 2020 US election. There is no evidence of that, says John Catsimatidis, owner of WABC Radio – and draws conclusions.
We warned him once. We warned him twice.” The New York Times. Giuliani refused to avoid the topic of the 2020 US elections and thus had no choice but to suspend him. “Look, I like the guy as a person, but you can’t do that.”
Giuliani suspects censorship because he is not allowed to talk about election fraud on the radio
Meanwhile, Giuliani feels his freedom of expression is being restricted, so he spread the word about the 2020 US presidential election. He also urged his followers to contact the radio station and ask if they support freedom of expression.
Former New York Mayor Giuliani speaks out about election fraud in 2020
Giuliani and other Trump supporters spoke out about censorship after the incident. For example, right-wing politician and Trump adviser Steve Bannon accused the radio station, which also broadcasts on Channel X, of stabbing the entire MAGA (Make America Great Again) program in the back. For radio chief Catsimatidis, there seems to be no going back on his decision. Question for guardianWhen asked if he could envision working with Giuliani in the future, he said no.
Giuliani served as mayor of New York from January 1994 until the end of December 2001, and was one of the Republican Party’s candidates to succeed US President George W. Bush. After Trump’s defeat by Biden in the 2020 US elections, the lawyer became a central figure in Trump’s attempts to overturn the election result.
Giuliani has repeatedly publicly defended the theory that the election was tampered with, and was subsequently ordered by a US court to pay $148 million.

Ukrainian kamikaze drones are increasing casualties among Russian forces in a particularly brutal way. The soldiers turn to Putin pleadingly.
Donbass – They came on the orders of Kremlin autocrat Vladimir Putin. Many of them remain in Ukraine as other victims of Russia. As of early May 2024, more than 450,000 Russian Army soldiers have been killed or wounded in the Ukraine war. This was reported by the British Ministry of Defense in London, which is closely monitoring the situation. According to French estimates, at least 150,000 of these soldiers are no longer alive.
Russia’s losses: Drones wreak havoc on Putin’s army in Ukraine war
One of the reasons for the heavy losses suffered by the Russian Armed Forces in the Ukraine war: the treacherous drones used by the Ukrainians. Russian soldiers have now literally turned to the Kremlin regime and demanded an ancient weapon.
Casualties in the Ukraine war: Russian soldiers demand anti-drone rifles
A video is circulating on X (formerly Twitter) showing two Russian soldiers fighting a Ukrainian drone. Finally one of the soldiers destroys the drone with a rifle blast. Its model looks quite modern, but rifles are also available in older versions – from the 17th century.
“We need rifles, we need rifles!” “These drones are a real problem for us and we are struggling to find an effective way to control them to ward them off,” a Russian soldier recently declared in a video that went viral on social media. “We are tired of them, these damn drones! The gun saves the lives of ten people, „If not more. They’re just shooting at us.” The soldier’s photo looks like a cry for help in the Ukraine war, as if he were asking civil society to raise money to buy rifles because the Russian army is abandoning its soldiers again?
Vladimir Putin’s losses: Russian soldiers fear Ukrainian drones
Another Russian soldier appears in an American news magazine Newsweek “Drones are a constant nuisance and we have no ways to deal with them,” he was quoted as saying. Will rifles be a decisive factor for us on the ground to minimize casualties against Ukrainian forces? Ukrainian military bloggers frequently post videos on social networks about how Russian soldiers are directly attacked by suicide drones, or how drones drop grenades on them. In such cases there is often no escape for them.
Why guns? In the modern defense industry, the so-called air burst ammunition is based on this. In this case, the ammunition is exploded in the air by a detonation charge and releases many small fragments over a large radius. This creates a veritable cloud of shrapnel or submunitions. Shotguns work similarly, and also fire ammunition that disperses through the air over a large radius, greatly increasing the likelihood of hitting flying targets – such as drones.
Russia’s losses in the Ukraine war: Kamikaze drones have become dangerous for tanks
Since the T-72, T-80 and T-90 battle tanks on the Russian side, as well as Ukrainian Leopard 2 and M1 Abrams tanks, have proven vulnerable to suicide drones, the Western arms industry is at least pushing to develop protection systems. Remotely active such as Trophy. These also fire shrapnel at lightning speed in order to neutralize an approaching projectile with a sort of ammunition cloud. Which again resembles the traditional single soldier rifle.
As the Russian army advances towards Chasiv Yar in the Donbass region west of Bakhmut, a Ukrainian soldier, among others, called for more reactive armor for Abrams tanks due to the threat of drones – just to name a few. Both sides often link the old but powerful RPG-7 anti-tank grenade to drones for tank combat. Or, as harsh as it may sound, using it to hunt down individual soldiers. (evening)

France recycles missiles for Ukraine. A process that makes the use of old inventories possible. The state also benefits economically.
Paris – Transforming the old into the new: It is clear that France also discovered this strategy and thus turned its arms shipments to Ukraine into a profitable deal for both sides. The so-called Operation Chrysalis, named after the transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly, allows support to be provided to Ukraine without emptying its strategic reserve.
According to, they will be used in Operation Chrysalis Radio France International (RFI) Scalp cruise missiles stored in “cocoons” in French arsenals. There are two types of them: The first: intact missiles that have reached the end of their lifespan. The second is the “disassembled” missiles, parts of which have been removed for use in other Scalp missiles.
Four times cheaper than new cruise missiles: reprocessed scalp missiles for Ukraine
The missiles are scheduled to be used in… Ukraine war It was returned to French production sites to be commissioned and tested within approximately three months. Tests were simplified due to their timely use against Russia. “It is a very economical approach, as the scalps pulled from the cocoons become ‘scrap’ anyway. [Vernichtung] It has been identified,” he said Radio frequency source.
In January, the President of France. Emmanuel MacronHe announced the delivery of „forty Scalp missiles” to Kiev. Process Chrysalis is said to have begun around this time. Sources revealed to Radio frequency This procedure indicates that the costs of one missile can be divided into a quarter compared to newly produced missiles. Chrysalis aims to be loud Radio frequency It will be completed this year, so the stocks will likely be used.
Scalp and Storm Shadow missiles are valuable for Ukraine – France wants to maintain strategy with export versions
French authorities are also searching for other ammunition, such as artillery shells or surface-to-air weapons. Another approach is to purchase Scalp missiles in the „export version” and then reprogram them so that the mission preparation can also be done via French computers.
According to the Polish news site Bolon Scalp missiles of the export version have been imported from India, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Greece, for example. A source said the best scenario was “a direct sale to Ukraine with a new missile buyback behind it.” Radio frequency. „This is amazing!”
Scalp cruise missiles, also known as Storm Shadows, are the British-French equivalent of the Taurus missiles. However, these missiles have a range of only 250 kilometers, about half the range of the Taurus missiles. However, the Kremlin has seen a surge in Scalp missile supplies. For example, Ukraine used missiles to strike the Russian Black Sea Fleet near Crimea or the Russian vehicle fleet in Crimea. (word)
