"description": "Daily Maverick is an independent online news publication and weekly print newspaper in South Africa.\r\n\r\nIt is known for breaking some of the defining stories of South Africa in the past decade, including the Marikana Massacre, in which the South African Police Service killed 34 miners in August 2012.\r\n\r\nIt also investigated the Gupta Leaks, which won the 2019 Global Shining Light Award.\r\n\r\nThat investigation was credited with exposing the Indian-born Gupta family and former President Jacob Zuma for their role in the systemic political corruption referred to as state capture.\r\n\r\nIn 2018, co-founder and editor-in-chief Branislav ‘Branko’ Brkic was awarded the country’s prestigious Nat Nakasa Award, recognised for initiating the investigative collaboration after receiving the hard drive that included the email tranche.\r\n\r\nIn 2021, co-founder and CEO Styli Charalambous also received the award.\r\n\r\nDaily Maverick covers the latest political and news developments in South Africa with breaking news updates, analysis, opinions and more.",

Giving precisely zero evidence to justify the withdrawal, Trump will now seek to reinstate sanctions against Iran. In doing so, the United States just reneged on a contract it proposed and negotiated, effectively giving the next move, and the momentum, to Iran. With Syria a boiling mess and Hezbollah set to rise to power in Lebanon, Iran is not without its own foreign policy tools that can sting back.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"mwidth\" style=\"line-height: inherit; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 12px;\">\r\n<div class=\"divider\" style=\"display: block; font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80px; background-color: #ccc;\"></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-- [if (mso)|(IE)]></td>\r\n<td valign=\"top\" class=\"w260\" style=\"width:300px;\" ><![endif]-->\r\n<div class=\"column\" style=\"text-align: left; color: #000; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; font-family: Georgia, serif; float: left; max-width: 320px; min-width: 300px;\">\r\n<div class=\"mwidth\" style=\"line-height: inherit; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; margin-top: 12px;\">\r\n<p class=\"size-26\" lang=\"x-size-26\" style=\"margin-top: 10; margin-bottom: 0; font-size: 26px; line-height: 32px; text-decoration: none; color: #000;\"><a class=\"aHeading\" style=\"line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none; color: #000;\" href=\"http://email.touchbasepro.com/t/d-l-blyilid-l-n/\">Iran boots up Uranium enrichment</a></p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"size-18\" lang=\"x-size-18\" style=\"margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; font-size: 18px !important; text-align: left; line-height: 26px !important;\">\r\n\r\nIn response to Trump's foray into foreign policy, Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has vowed to start up uranium enrichment facilities \"within weeks\" if other signatories to the accord do not salvage the deal. Rouhani maintained a level response to Trump's tirade, insisting that the nuclear was a multilateral one, and could still succeed with EU and Russia's sanction-thwarting support. The EU, Britain and Russia all disapproved of Trump's move, putting some of America's allies in a very sticky spot.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"mwidth\" style=\"line-height: inherit; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 12px;\">\r\n<div class=\"divider\" style=\"display: block; font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80px; background-color: #ccc;\"></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-- [if (mso)|(IE)]></td>\r\n</tr>\r\n</table>\r\n<![endif]-->\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"layout two-col fixed-width\" style=\"line-height: inherit; margin: 0 auto; max-width: 600px; min-width: 320px; overflow-wrap: break-word; word-wrap: break-word; word-break: break-word;\">\r\n<div class=\"layout__inner\" style=\"line-height: inherit; border-collapse: collapse; display: table; width: 100%; background-color: #ffffff;\"><!-- [if (mso)|(IE)]>\r\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\">\r\n<tr class=\"layout-fixed-width\" emb-background-style>\r\n<td valign=\"top\" class=\"w260\" style=\"width:300px;\" ><![endif]-->\r\n<div class=\"column\" style=\"text-align: left; color: #000; line-height: 21px; font-family: Georgia, serif; float: left; max-width: 320px; min-width: 300px;\">\r\n<div class=\"mwidth\" style=\"line-height: inherit; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; margin-top: 12px;\">\r\n<p class=\"size-26\" lang=\"x-size-26\" style=\"margin-top: 10; margin-bottom: 0; font-size: 26px; line-height: 32px; text-decoration: none; color: #000;\"><a class=\"aHeading\" style=\"line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none; color: #000;\" href=\"http://email.touchbasepro.com/t/d-l-blyilid-l-p/\">Google develops AI to 'unplug'</a></p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"size-18\" lang=\"x-size-18\" style=\"margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; font-size: 18px !important; text-align: left; line-height: 26px !important;\">\r\n\r\nIf ever you thought that more technology was the best way to unplug from digital saturation, you could be a Googler. The tech giant unveiled on Tuesday an artificial intelligence tool it hopes can help removed much of the daily digital stress we encounter daily. Making restaurant bookings, a haircut and the like all require interaction with phone and information. Google's AI, it seems, can do all of this, replete with conversational 'ums' and 'ahs' to make our impending robot doom seem more human.\r\n\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<div class=\"mwidth\" style=\"line-height: inherit; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; margin-bottom: 12px;\">\r\n<div class=\"divider\" style=\"display: block; font-size: 1px; line-height: 1px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 80px; background-color: #ccc;\"></div>\r\n</div>\r\n</div>\r\n<!-- [if (mso)|(IE)]></td>\r\n<td valign=\"top\" class=\"w260\" style=\"width:300px;\" ><![endif]-->\r\n<div class=\"column\" style=\"text-align: left; color: #000; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; font-family: Georgia, serif; float: left; max-width: 320px; min-width: 300px;\">\r\n<div class=\"mwidth\" style=\"line-height: inherit; margin-left: 20px; margin-right: 20px; margin-top: 12px;\">\r\n<p class=\"size-26\" lang=\"x-size-26\" style=\"margin-top: 10; margin-bottom: 0; font-size: 26px; line-height: 32px; text-decoration: none; color: #000;\"><a class=\"aHeading\" style=\"line-height: inherit; text-decoration: none; color: #000;\" href=\"http://email.touchbasepro.com/t/d-l-blyilid-l-x/\">Uber partners with US Army to test quiet tech</a></p>\r\n\r\n<div class=\"size-18\" lang=\"x-size-18\" style=\"margin-top: 20px; margin-bottom: 20px; font-size: 18px !important; text-align: left; line-height: 26px !important;\">\r\n\r\nUber has announced it would be partnering with the US Army to develop new, quieter rotor technology. It is hoped that the partnership could be utilised in flying cars, helicopters and future SEAL Team raids on global terrorist hangouts.
