 Convicted war criminal Lubanga announces new rebel group in east Congo A convicted war criminal based in Uganda has announced a new rebel movement intent on toppling the government in eastern Congo's Ituri province, creating another potential security threat in the war-scarred region, Reuters reported. The formation of the Convention for the Popular Revolution (CPR) by Thomas Lubanga, an Ituri native, comes as Congo's army faces an unprecedented advance by Rwandan-backed M23 rebels elsewhere in eastern Congo. The International Criminal Court secured its first conviction against Lubanga in 2012 on charges of recruiting child soldiers and sentenced him to 14 years in prison. He was released in 2020 and President Felix Tshisekedi appointed him to a task force to bring peace to Ituri. But in 2022 he was taken hostage for two months by a rebel group, which he blames on the government, and is now based in Uganda.

Missing Titanic-bound submersible with five people on board has run out of emergency oxygen


The Titanic tourist submersible that vanished on a trip to the 112-year-old shipwreck at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean is believed to have run out of oxygen with authorities still pushing forward with the search operation, according to New York Post, 

 

OceanGate Expeditions, which operates the Titan sub and has its CEO Stockton Rush aboard the missing vessel, told the Coast Guard Sunday evening that the vehicle was equipped with only 96 hours of oxygen, with the timer running out around 7:08 a.m. Thursday morning.


The status of the five passengers aboard the ill-fated trip remains unclear as US and Canadian officials work around the clock to attempt to locate the missing Titan sub 900 miles east of Cape Cod.


The Coast Guard on Thursday morning, June 22, confirmed that a remote-operated vehicle ā€œhas reached the sea floorā€ and started searching for the missing sub.


ā€œThe French vessel Lā€™Atalante is preparing their ROV to enter the water,ā€ it added.


Along with Rush, who served as the vesselā€™s pilot, the missing include British billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani tech and energy mogul Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Sulaiman, and famed Titanic explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet.


The US Coast Guard said it received word from OceanGate about the missing submersible eight hours after it lost contact with its mothership, the Polar Prince.


OceanGate said the sub disappeared less than two hours after it submerged Sunday afternoon.


Experts have said that the passengers couldā€™ve actually shortened their 96 hours of oxygen by panicking.


Mike Tipton, the head of the extreme environments laboratory at the UKā€™s Portsmouth University, told Insider that humans can only go for about three minutes without oxygen.


With a depleting air supply, people can experience restlessness, headaches, confusion, shortness of breath, blue fingertips, increased heart rate, and eventually loss of consciousness, the expert said.

More than three minutes without oxygen can lead to brain damage, and eventually death.


Along with the lack of oxygen, Tipton warned that the passengers couldā€™ve al
