in Germany. The self-righteous Vance made the same claim. These two authoritarian regimes, of all places, want to tell us what freedom is. It's ironic that these enemies of democracy have so many followers here with their propaganda.

Kremlin forcing big firms to join ‘witch-hunt’ against internet rebels, claims report Campaigners say banks and web platforms are being told to collect data on customers visiting blocked sites

For right-wing extremists, even here in Germany, Putin is a shining example. No wonder, since they receive support from Russia, especially through the massive flood of social media with propaganda against Germany and the EU. One often hears from these circles that there is no longer free speech…

„Trump easily qualifies as the most anti-press president in the dinner’s 105-year history. In just the past 15 months, he has sued news organizations, threatened to jail journalists, and repeatedly suggested taking broadcast licenses away from TV networks that have reported stories he didn’t like.“

„Legal scholars have called the episode the birth of the modern shadow docket, in which the court has used truncated procedures cloaked in secrecy to block or allow major presidential initiatives in terse rulings.“

Tehran has ‘no plans to participate’ in talks with US, state media reports Reported response comes hours after Trump announced delegation to Islamabad, having earlier threatened to raze Iran’s infrastructure

„Iran stated that its absence from the second round of talks stemmed from what it called Washington’s excessive demands, unrealistic expectations, constant shifts in stance, repeated contradictions, and the continuing naval blockade, which it considers a breach of the ceasefire,”

More than £1bn pledged for Sudan as humanitarian crisis deepens Donors exceed funding target at Berlin conference but prospects for ceasefire remain distant

„The prospect of peace remains as distant as ever, with scant progress reported on ceasefire talks. Neither of Sudan’s warring parties travelled to Berlin.
Sudan’s army-aligned foreign ministry denounced delegates for not consulting it, accusing western countries of a “colonial tutelage approach“.“

Anger at ‘bloody unacceptable’ efforts to end Sudan’s war as conflict enters fourth year A top UN official has criticised lack of global urgency as reports confirm the world’s largest humanitarian crisis is worsening

„Asked to sum up a crisis that left 33 million in need of assistance and is estimated to have killed at least 150,000, the UN’s head in Sudan said: “Bloody unacceptable is what it is. Unacceptable that the world focuses on other crises and leans into it entirely to find solutions: why not here?”“

James Brown - The Payback YouTube video by JamesBrownVevo

„While ‘The Payback’ can be taken at face value as an anthem of revenge, it conceals layers of social commentary. In an era fraught with racial tensions and socio-economic struggles. It transforms from personal retribution to a collective yearning for social justice and empowerment.“

How Big Tech wrote secrecy into EU law to hide data centres’ environmental toll Environmental footprint of Europe's data centres kept secret after industry lobbying in a move legal experts warn could violate transparency rules.

„Microsoft and other US tech companies successfully lobbied the EU to hide the environmental toll of their datacentres, an investigation has found, with demands to block a database of green metrics from public view written almost word for word into EU rules.“

George Schaller: The field biologist who helped redefine conservation Some lives seem to belong less to a nation or a profession than to a disposition. George B. Schaller’s was one of them. He belonged, above all, to animals—gorillas, lions, tigers, snow leopards, panda...

„What distinguished Schaller was to challenge the assumptions of his field. He insisted that understanding animals required empathy—not sentimentality, but a disciplined effort to see behavior in context. He believed animals had inner lives, social structures, and individual temperaments.“

America seems incapable of stopping the despot. Waging a war of aggression that violates international law without prior congressional approval, let alone a UN mandate, is no justification for the, albeit narrow, majority of lawmakers.

What Viktor Orbán’s election loss means for Putin, Trump and the rise of right-wing populism The White House and Kremlin tried unsuccessfully to influence Hungary’s election. But this doesn’t mean illiberalism is going away.

„Clearly the biggest loser from the election is Putin’s Russia.
Under Orbán, Hungary was the strongest pro-Kremlin voice in the EU. It regularly stymied aid packages for Ukraine, tied up decision-making on the war in bureaucratic processes, and held the EU to ransom by threatening hold-out votes.“

Why Beijing isn’t panicking over Hungarian PM Orban’s stunning election defeat China’s substantial investments in the central European country point to bilateral cooperation that is mutually beneficial, analysts say.

„By strengthening ties with China and blocking EU sanctions against Beijing , Orban became China’s strongest ally in the bloc.

And as the EU and Nato toughened their stance on China, Orban-led Hungary had become an increasingly vital strategic partner of Beijing within both organisations.“

„In the Juruena River Basin, in Mato Grosso, monocultures — soy, corn and cotton — are a matter of concern to people in the Tirecatinga Indigenous Land. Surrounding farms have been contaminating waters, plants and fruit with pesticides and are blocking the rivers with small hydroelectric plants.“
