Mistrial declared in Abu Ghraib prisoners case
ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) — A judge declared a mistrial Thursday after a jury said it had deadlocked and could not reach a verdict in the case of a military contractor accused of contributing to detainee abuse at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison two decades ago.
The mistrial came on the eighth day of jury deliberations.
The eight-member civilian jury in Alexandria failed to agree on allegations that civilian interrogators supplied to the US military at Abu Ghraib in 2003 and 2004 had conspired with soldiers to mistreat detainees in order to “soften” them for the interrogations.
The trial was the first time a U.S. jury heard lawsuits brought by Abu Ghraib survivors in the 20 years since shocking photographs showing mistreatment of detainees — accompanied by smiling U.S. so

UBS is already clearing out the CS double tower in Zurich North – Inside Paradeplatz
The CS twin towers in northern Zurich were the landmark of the financial multinational. Since it ended a year ago, they have been a legacy.
Now the owner BVK, the PK of the canton of Zurich, is looking for new tenants for the huge space. The CS is moving faster than expected.
This is in line with the headlines about the accelerated liquidation of UBS. In the coming months and years, 35,000 jobs could disappear.
This could include back office jobs for CS employees located in the former Sunrise towers. Leaving the North Towers would mean leaving the bank.
The space in the Seebach district is “available for short-term occupancy,” writes the commissioned employment agency. They would meet “the highest demands in terms of office infrastructure”.
“Ideal for large national and international companies,” he says on the site.
While the CS back offices disappear and with them a potentially important part of the workforce, UBS executives plan a new flagship building in Zurich-Altstetten.
The only major bank left in the country has always had much of its second-level staff stationed there.
The area around Flurstrasse, in the former working-class district, was the IT headquarters of UBS. With the joining of the banking association in 1998, a major building was added at the Altstetten railway station.
The big bank recently planned a public giga tower in Altstetten. According to the Tages-Anzeiger, it is one of Finanzcity’s new flagship properties.
The project is drawing criticism. Citizen

Heat pump: Sales figures collapse by more than half
The heat pump is considered the future of heating in private households. But demand has recently fallen rapidly. picture alliance/dpa | Henning Kaiser
After the long debate about the heating law, demand for heat pumps fell by more than half in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the previous year, reports the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung”. Apparently many homeowners are reluctant to change their heating system. This is also supported by a huge decline in sales of gas heaters. Government subsidies obviously cannot change the reluctance to switch to heat pumps. According to a survey, many property owners don’t even know that they can receive money from the state.
One year after the heated debate about the heating law, demand for heat pumps has noticeably cooled down. In the first quarter of this year, sales

The start of it monthly count by DEDDIE has started from the northern suburbs and gradually through 2024 will be extended throughout the country. In this way, all electricity bills from now on will be liquidating, that is, the charge will be based on the actual electricity consumption.
The process for counting
Consumers should know that in order to make the count, they will have to provide DEDDIE crews with access to the area where their property’s clock is located.
In the event that DEDDIE crews cannot gain access to the clock and it is impossible to measure the consumption, then the electricity bill will be against. In other words, an estimate will be made for the kilowatt hours consumed, based on the previous year’s electricity consumption. There is, however, the possibility within 4 days from the day of the unsuccessful visit of the DEDDIE, for the citizen himself to declare the consumption.
This can be done in two ways, by phone and online, namely:
- By free call: You can call the DEDDIE customer service call center at 800-400-4000 toll-free
