A US citizen is one of two hostages to speak in a new kidnap video released by Hamas today. Keith Siegel, 64, appears alongside Omri Miran, 46, in the edited three-minute video, which sees the pair call for a hostage deal between Hamas and Israel . The proof-of-life clip seems to have been recorded recently with Mr Siegel mentioning the Passover holiday, which began on April 22, and Mr Miran saying he has been held captive for 202 days, which suggests he was speaking on April 26.

Since Netflix announced it on Chinese social media on March 21, many nationalists said that the American corporation is attempting to make the communist state seem skeptic. Netflix is out of service in China, but some viewers have been able to view the show on virtual private networks (VPNs) or purchase pirated copies. Rotten Tomatoes has received a 78 percent rating and an 81 percent average audience score since its debut.

On Friday, a top gaming executive was sentenced to death for poisoning his billionaire colleague who was supposed to work on Netflix's hit series Three-Body Problem. Xu Yao poisoned the food of the founder of the high-profile Chinese gaming company Yoozoo, which has links to Game of Thrones and the upcoming Netflix series 'The Three-Body Problem.' According to the Shanghai First Intermediate People's Court, Xu poisoned Lin Qi in December 2020 due to a squabble over the company's administration. Lin, 39, was admitted to hospital on December 16 after being sick for the first time, and although his illness was later reported to be stable, he died nine days later on Christmas Day despite being given 40 litres of blood transfusions. Xu, 43, was arrested by police just a few days after Lin's death.

A Texas rancher says the situation hasn't improved at all, and the Biden administration has made it worse. Hundreds of thousands of potential immigrants are waiting to enter the country illegally ahead of the expiration of a Trump-era Covid drive that makes it possible to boot out immigrants. Title 42, the COVID-19 pandemic-era strategy that helped law enforcement swiftly remove illegal migrants from the border, is set to end on May 11. A Texas rancher says the situation has not improved at all, and the Biden administration has made it worse. As migrants lined up at the US-Mexico border on Thursday, ahead of Title 42's expiration, a Texas rancher says the situation has not improved at all. Hundreds of dozens of potential asylum seekers are eager to enter the country unlawfully ahead of the expiration of a Trump-era Covid policy that makes it easier to boot out immigrants. Stephanie Canales (pictured left) of Texas called the Biden administration's handling of the situation 'a joke.'

Immigrants are camped outside San Ysidro, California, ahead of the expiration of a Trump-era Covid rule that makes it possible to boot out illegals. The Biden administration will deploy an additional 1,500 troops to the southern frontier to join the 2,500 already struggling to stem the flow of people crossing over.

That's on top of President Biden's request to be included in the fiscal year 2023 spending bill, which is currently in session (DHS). Senior DHS officials told NBC News that they requested additional funds to the White House Office of Management and Budget, which took the request to Congress. Republicans may be reluctant to accept the new funds as they have stated tighter border protection before pouring in more cash. Since former President Trump reinstated the policy in 2020, the Covid-era Title 42 allows border agents to immediately expel migrants, and has been used more than 2.4 million times to discourage border crossers from seeking asylum.

On Monday, the Senate endorsed final passage of the same-sex marriage bill by voting 61-35 to end the discussion and bring on a religious liberty amendment. Sixty-one senators approved the extension to the Respect for Marriage Act, a House-passed bill that will guarantee same-sex marriage rights. The bill will now include terms relating to religious liberty and conscience rights, as well as specifically excluding polygamous marriage. Individuals or businesses would not be permitted to provide services for marriage or marriage celebrations if it broke their religious beliefs under the statute.

The Senate is expected to pass a procedural hurdle on Wednesday to end a discussion on the Respect for Marriage Act, a House-passed bill that would enshrine same-sex marriage rights into law. The bill now heads to the House for a final vote, which is likely to take place after Thanksgiving. Democrats had promised to pass the gay marriage bill while still having control of both chambers. After the Supreme Court reversed Roe vs. Wade, they had warned that gay marriage and even interracial marriage rights could be in jeopardy. Their warnings came after Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in an opinion that privacy rights such as gay marriage and condomation could be'revisited' after the court ruled that a right to an abortion was overturned.

Proponents of the same-sex marriage bill, which is up for a vote in the Senate in a few weeks, are working overtime to please religious liberation fears, which could thwart the bill, which has won almost 50 House Republicans. To break a filibuster on the Respect for Marriage Act, Democrats must obtain ten Republican votes. Sen. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin has reverted from a 'yes' to a 'no' this week, leaving them one behind and nowhere near ten percent of the total votes. Sen. Byron: Sen. Neill Davidson used the term "sensuous" to refer to Sen. Bill Clinton. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, has promised to hold a referendum 'in the coming weeks.' The bill received widespread bipartisan support in the House, where it didn't need the vote of a single Republican to pass, but it did win 47 percent, including two members of GOP leadership.
