I knew one day I’d have to watch powerful men burn the world down – I just didn’t expect them to be such losers

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?

This is the common rule in the Serbian language. "Write as you speak and read as it's written". It is also sometimes used in other Slavic languages. Chardonnay becomes šardone.

Womit hatten sie das verdient? Sie hatten sich auf das Gelände des Aksa-Krankenhauses geflüchtet, weil sie dachten, sie seien dort in Sicherheit. Nur um bei lebendigem Leibe verbrannt zu werden. 4/4

Sie riefen sich leise beim Namen, fragten, wie der andere sich fühle, so ging es immer hin und her zwischen ihnen. Dann starb der kleine, am nächsten Tag war auch sie tot. Ich erinnere mich noch immer an dieses sanfte Hin und Her. Da wird einem klar, wie sehr die Welt sie im Stich gelassen hat. 3/x

Die 19-Jährige, deren Name »Glück« bedeutete, hatte Verbrennung von etwas mehr als 35 Prozent ihrer Körperoberfläche erlitten; ihr kleiner Bruder war zu über 50 Prozent verbrannt. Sie waren auf unserer Intensivstation, ihre Betten lagen nebeneinander, dazwischen war eine Trennwand. 2/x

(S+) Helferin über Angriffe auf Krankenhäuser im Gazastreifen: »Es gibt in diesem Krieg keine rote Linie mehr« Fast fünf Monate lang war sie für Ärzte ohne Grenzen im Gazastreifen. Hier berichtet Karin Huster vom täglichen Albtraum – und einem sterbenden Geschwisterpaar, an das sie immer wieder denken muss.

'Flatten' Gaza, halt aid: The commander overseeing Gaza's brutal Netzarim corridor ***

In Brig. Gen. Yehuda Vach's view, one officer says, "there are no innocents in Gaza." That wasn't said as a personal opinion, the officer stresses, but "as an operational doctrine – they're all terrorists"

Der Kolumnist hat recht.

Ich glaube, mittlerweile hat sich fast die gesamte WELT-Redaktion von der eigenen Chefredaktion distanziert. Gestern wurde Leuten intern noch gedroht, sie müssten „mit den Folgen leben“, wenn sie das tun – jetzt brechen alle Dämme.

Santa was generous this year!

Yep, genau dieses Geschirr. ❤️

It's not champagne, but it fulfils the ongoing criteria! :)

Champagne’s sordid secret: the homeless and hungry migrants picking grapes for France’s luxury winemakers A Guardian investigation finds an underpaid, underfed workforce, some of whom are forced to sleep on the streets, exploited by a system of labour providers
