Israeli soldiers have destroyed solar panels supplying the village of Debel in southern Lebanon with water and electricity. According to the Lebanese National News Agency, military forces also destroyed homes, roads and olive trees in the area. Al Jazeera journalist Heidi Pett wrote on X: “Israel has been systematically destroying the essential infrastructure for life in south Lebanon.” “Even outside areas where it is occupying and detonating homes, Israel seeks to prevent return by making life unliveable for civilians.” Last week, an Israeli solider was filmed smashing a statue of Jesus in the same village. The Israeli Defence Forces have launched an investigation into the destruction of the solar panels, according to Israeli media.

Activists from ‘People Against Genocide’ have occupied a Leicester factory owned by Elbit Systems UK this morning, drilling a hole through its roof in order to abseil into the building. The team of activists evaded security and used ladders to climb over razor-wire fencing at UAV Tactical Systems, according to media group The Aftershock. One activist stated: “We are sick and tired of our government’s collaboration in this genocide that Israel is committing on the Palestinian people. "We know that genocide has no place in this world – so that’s why we’re here to shut Elbit down.” UAV Tactical Systems is owned by Elbit Systems UK, the British subsidiary of Israel’s largest weapons manufacturer.

A staggering 96,000 people in Cuba are waiting in queues to get surgery — a direct result of the fuel shortages brought on by Trump's energy blockade. But according to @manolo.socialista, there is "no support" for Trump's attacks on the island nation in the U.S., which only are driven by a minority of far-right Cuban Americans who want to "reclaim" what they lost during the revolution.

Israel is pleading “self-defence” while annexing swathes of land in Lebanon. After massacring hundreds of Lebanese civilians this month, the Israel Defence Forces (IDF) has established a “yellow line” deep in the country’s sovereign territory. Israel claims its forces must occupy this area despite agreeing to a ceasefire, which it has already violated multiple times. An IDF spokesperson warned that people trying to cross the line, which has no basis under international law or under the recent ceasefire agreement, will be killed.

The "Mamdani Act" (formally the Measures Against Marxism's Dangerous Adherents and Noxious Islamists Act of 2026, introduced by Rep. Chip Roy) screams the Palmer Raids 2.0. This all might sound a bit repetitive from previous videos I've done but I feel like it needs to be brought up every time something like this is proposed. #education #politics #history #marxism

In the Commons last week, Zarah Sultana used parliamentary privilege to expose a court order that restricts reporting on certain aspects of a live criminal case, withholding important information from both jurors and the British public. But neither Novara nor any other British media outlet can safely report or play the contents of what she said. On Wednesday night’s Novara Live, the Your Party MP joined host Steven Methven to discuss what she described as an “insane” attack “on all of our civil liberties". “The fact that only Parliament TV, only Hansard, can report on it tells you what the British state is all about - and it is about curtailing our rights to organise, to resist, to challenge when the state overreaches,” she said. “I think it is scary.” Parliamentary privilege protects Sultana from prosecution for what she said in the chamber, but breaching the order outside of the House of Commons could be considered contempt of court, carrying a maximum two-year prison sentence. “I was surprised to learn that the British media has no absolute right to report on what MPs say in our own parliament,” Methven said on the show. “I’m scared that a lot of people don’t even know what’s happening,” Sultana replied. “The fact that American organisations and non-UK organisations are the only ones reporting on this is scary. How do we organise against this? And how do we fight back?” While he did not reveal the contents of Sultana’s 14 April speech, which can still be viewed online in the Parliament TV archive, Methven said that her statement was connected to very general issues relating to jury trials and the government’s current attack on them, as well as counter-terror law. Sultana said she found the court order frightening. "[It] should be a wake-up call to everyone who cares about our civil liberties, who cares about our right to a fair trial,” she said. “The fact that this is happening and there is complete and utter secrecy... It is frightening, it is dystopian, it is often what we associate with authoritarian governments across the world when we highlight abuses of human rights, and in fact, it’s happening right here, right now.”
