LAST UPDATE | 8 Feb 2023
GOOD MORNING.
Here’s all the news you need to know as you start your day.
1. Scenes of a newborn plucked alive from the rubble and a broken father clutching his dead daughter’s hand have laid bare the human cost of violent earthquakes in Syria and Turkey that by this morning had claimed 8,300 lives.
For two days and nights since the 7.8 magnitude quake an impromptu army of rescuers have worked in freezing temperatures to find those still entombed among ruins that pockmark several cities either side of the border.
2. The UK’s Supreme Court will later rule on the lawfulness of Brexit’s Northern Ireland Protocol.
The legality of the contentious trading arrangements has been challenged by a collective of unionists and Brexiteers.
3. Politicians will be told today that at least ten assaults take place in hospitals every single day on nurses and midwives.
The Oireachtas Health Committee will also be told how workers in the healthcare system who are assaulted in the same incident get differential treatment and benefits depending on their job grade.
Crack Cocaine
4. The powerful drug has taken a hold of many addicts in the Limeick region.
Our reporter Eoghan Dalton investigates the use of the highly addictive drug in Munster.
5. Gardaí are investigating graffiti found on a famous standing stone in Co Meath.
The Lia Fáil standing stone, also known as the Stone of Destiny, sits on the Hill of Tara, a popular heritage site.
6. The US Navy has used underwater drones, warships and inflatable vessels to gather all of the pieces of the massive Chinese spy balloon a fighter jet shot down off the coast of South Carolina.
In the newest images released by the Navy, sailors from Explosive Ordnance Disposal Group 2 are seen leaning over a rigid hull inflatable boat and pulling in pieces of the balloon’s white outer fabric and shell structure.
7. Joe Biden called for unity and tried to emphasise conciliation over conflict in his State of the Union address.
The 80-year-old almost defiantly ignored the bitter divisions between Republicans and Democrats and his own low standing with the public in his speech.
8. A new survey today found that one in five (19%) of parents stated that at some point in the last year they did not have enough food to feed their children.
The new survey, conducted by Coyne Research on behalf of Barnardos and partner ALDI Ireland, explores both the prevalence and impact of food poverty in Ireland.
9. Gardaí have renewed their appeal for information on the 25th anniversary of the disappearance and murder of Fiona Sinnott.
In a statement issued today, gardaí in Wexford said they are continuing to actively investigate the case.

Japs snaps flaps for 3D faps
11/10.
Claps
She spotted a gap in the market.
A large black bush please no ice.
N green thumb taps..
So they can slaughter and torture the living sh** out of dolphins and whales but arrest someone drawing a fanny , crazy
So this has nothing whatsoever to do with art? She sold the data required to make a 3d print of her vagina to raise money to buy a kayak.
Anyone want want a mála version of my penis? Need money to buy a PS4 but I swear it’s all about the art.
She was.raising the money to have a kayak made in the shape of her vagina as an art project I presume. Can your genitalia be modelled around a PS4? Interesting! ;)
Only the joystick!
Classic
“Japan’s pornography industry is primarily aimed at men…”
I never knew that.
Anything passes for “artist” these days
Said every old fogey, ever.
Will three be a pussy riot?
The vagina artist Minori Kitahara was giving the Police the 2 fingers..
Hang on – so possession of child porn has been made legal in the last month in Japan??? But some woman who has questionable (but consensual) artistic skills is arrested?? Wtf?
Child porn has been made legal in Japan…..What..??. If this is true the UN should sanction Japan surely…
Might start up my own studio here in Dublin!
You’ll need a wide angle lens for some of them
She must have some…errr…. anyway, that’s one huge camera.
The Freedom of Expression defence. Good one that.
“Japan has notoriously tough obscenity laws”. As someone that regularly browses 4chan, I can tell you this is a complete misconception.
Oi mrs get back in yer box !!!!
That’s why she wanted the kayak!
Getting all in a flap over nothing.
A piss artist
This is the country where the laws permit vending machines on city streets to dispense soiled ladies underwear I exchange for money.
Japan is as perverse in its laws as its people are in their tastes.
If it makes money I might do it myself.
I’ll take three
I have untold copybooks of penis art that I have been accumulated throughout my school years. I wonder if I could make a small fortune….
We should tell Gashi or whatever her name is to do some artistic research into Sheelagh na Gig!
Never change Japan, never change.
What an hypocresy, japanese manga is full of explicit sex for male consumers!! Obscenity is what’s happening in Majorca and Barcelona: http://www.elpais-digital.es/n8/16_07_2014_1.html
