--- Quote ---First findings rail accident Greece: ‘Personnel insufficiently trained’

The investigation following the deadly railway accident in Greece has unearthed some worrying findings. The Greek Railway Regulatory Body, which is reponsible for the work, speaks of “insufficient training of personnel carrying out critical tasks”, causing inadequacies that might have contributed to the accident.

The investigation on the railway accident in Tempi, Greece, that left at least 57 people dead and several injured, takes the authorities fifteen years back. The Greek Railway Regulatory Body (RAS) and the Greek supreme court’s prosecutor’s office are investigating all the deadly railway accidents that occurred in Greece from 2008 onwards to find out whether infrastructure manager OSE and railway undertakings complied with the Safety Management Systems (SMS).

At the same time, the prosecutor’s office and the anti-money laundering authority are also scrutinising OSE’s contract during the same timeframe to determine possible ‘financial misconducts and illegalities’. The investigation targets multiple people who held critical positions over the years. A financial scrutinisation is crucial considering that Greece was supposed to invest billions of euros in ETCS, but this investment is still missing.

--- Quote ---Julia Faustyna most likely not Madeleine McCann, analysis concludes

The Polish woman who became an internet sensation after claiming to be missing British girl Madeleine McCann is most likely not the girl who was abducted in Portugal in 2007, a facial recognition analysis concluded.

Julia Faustyna, who is also listed in some reports as Julia Wendell or Julia Wandelt, failed to match photos of McCann in a facial recognition comparison of the two.

Soon after Faustyna, 21, claimed to be the missing British girl, Swiss AI company Ava-X ran photos of her and McCann through its Iris facial recognition software, the Swiss newspaper Blick reported.

“It’s practically impossible for the young Pole to be Maddie,” Ava-X’s co-founder Christian Fehrlin concluded.

According to one report Ms Faustyna has submitted a sample for a DNA test, this will show if she has any British ancestry. If she has then the McCanns might submit DNA for a comparison. According to Faustyna's spokesperson, her Polish 'parents' have refused to submit a DNA sample and have ceased communications with Faustyna. She also alleges that Faustyna was trafficked as a child: 7news.com.au
