“Firefighters in France and Spain are working hard to contain devastating wildfires ahead of another heatwave expected to hit parts of Europe starting Tuesday, 28 July. Tens of thousands of hectares of land have been scorched, and over 200,000 people were forced to evacuate their homes in France alone. Blazes are also ongoing in Italy, and the seasonal prognosis for the entire northern Mediterranean coast remains alarming”

“Execrable Drivel: The US State Department’s Cuba Report”

“Given the execrable contents of this untutored report, it is impossible to believe that Cuba is a country increasingly on its knees, its sovereignty and independence more threatened than ever. The ongoing oil blockade, power shortages, lethal disruptions to the health system, sanitation issues and the depleting effects of Hurricane Melissa, have made the survival of the regime shaky. The cloddish semi-literates behind the document, however, want us to forget that Cuba is impoverished. ‘Its material weakness was never the measure of its danger. Its power was always ideological, subversive, and parasitic.’ What power! What potency!”

“A jury at Birmingham crown court is deliberating whether four pro-Palestine activists committed criminal damage at an arms factory in Wolverhampton.

Defendants Iain Evans, Hisham Alkhamesi, Frank Sherman, and Hana Yun-Stevens believed the factory, used by arms firm Moog, supplied weaponry to Israel.

They climbed onto the roof in August 2025, smashed equipment and unveiled a banner saying ‘Free Palestine’ while wearing T-shirts with the names of Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrikes”

“the West is everything they told you China was”

“So the next time you hear a Western politician condemn China for silencing dissent, ask them about Hüseyin Doğru. Ask them about the BBC cutting ‘free Palestine’ from a BAFTA speech. Ask them about the pregnant woman body-slammed in Amsterdam and the demonstrators being brutalised in Berlin. Ask them about von der Leyen’s heckler being arrested after she joked that in Russia, he would be arrested. The West is everything they told you China was. The only difference is that the Empire has better public relations”

“Saudi Arabia and Kuwait suspended US access to their military sites in opposition to Washington’s so-called Project Freedom, according to a 6 May report by NBC News.

‘Trump’s abrupt reversal on his plan to help ships go through the Strait of Hormuz came after [Saudi Arabia] suspended the US military’s ability to use its bases and airspace to carry out the operation,’ two US officials told the US outlet.”
