Maxwell's Brother Speaks, Ukraine Talks Stall, Dark Web Saves Girl

Ghislaine Maxwell's brother, Ian Maxwell, spoke out this week on his sister's ongoing efforts to overturn her conviction and her recent Congressional deposition, according to ABC News. Meanwhile, talks between Russia, Ukraine, and the US aimed at ending the war in Ukraine concluded without a breakthrough, as reported by BBC World. In technology news, the Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A) is displaying a reconstruction of the original YouTube watchpage, and a dark web investigator used a clue on a bedroom wall to rescue a girl from abuse, according to BBC Technology.

Ian Maxwell's interview with ABC News came a week after his sister invoked the Fifth Amendment during a closed-door virtual deposition before the House Oversight Committee. She was asked questions about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and her involvement in the late sex offender's crimes, according to the source. Ghislaine Maxwell was recently transferred to a federal prison camp in Texas.

The trilateral talks between Russia, Ukraine, and the US, held in Geneva, ended after only two hours on Wednesday, according to BBC World. Although US envoy Steve Witkoff had expressed optimism, both the chief Russian negotiator and Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky indicated the talks were "difficult." After the main talks concluded, Kremlin negotiator Vladimir Medinsky held a closed-door meeting with the Ukrainian side for about an hour and a half, but no details were released.

The V&A Museum is allowing visitors to "step back in time" with the reconstructed YouTube watchpage, using internet archives from December 2006, according to BBC Technology. The museum has also acquired the first video ever uploaded to the site, "Me at the Zoo," posted by YouTube's co-founder Jawed Karim in April 2005. YouTube's chief executive Neal Mohan said that "By reconstructing the original 2005 watchpage, we aren't just showing a video; we are inviting the public to step back in time to the beginning of a..."

In a separate story, specialist online investigator Greg Squire found a clue on a bedroom wall to locate a 12-year-old girl being abused, according to BBC Technology. Disturbing images of the girl were being shared on the dark web, an encrypted corner of the internet. The abuser was conscious of "covering their tracks," but Squire was able to find the girl's location.

In other news, BBC News Arabic reported on accounts of kidnap and rape from women of Syria's Alawite minority. One woman, whose name was changed for her safety, described being dragged into a vehicle by armed men who beat her and insulted her sect.
