Budanov: Peace talks may resume by late September after Witkoff and Kushner visit Kyiv.
The 20-point plan is down to the occupied nuclear plant and Donbas.
Donbas ideas: private military contractors, Board of Peace, or joint Ukrainian-Russian civilian administrations, NYT. 1/
Oggi il nostro Governo diventa il più longevo della storia della Repubblica italiana.
È un dato che accolgo con gratitudine e con un forte senso di responsabilità. Perché la stabilità non è un record da esibire, ma la condizione che consente a una Nazione di programmare, decidere, mantenere gli impegni e farsi rispettare.
In questi anni abbiamo lavorato per aumentare l’occupazione, ridurre la disoccupazione, sostenere famiglie e imprese, rafforzare la sicurezza, governare i conti pubblici con serietà e restituire all’Italia peso e credibilità sulla scena internazionale. I risultati ci sono, ma sappiamo bene quante cose restino ancora da fare.
Questa stabilità non è merito di una persona sola. È il risultato di una coalizione unita, che governa da quattro anni con una visione comune e che ha scelto di stare insieme non contro qualcuno, ma per realizzare un progetto per l’Italia.
Non credo sia un caso che, da oggi, i tre Governi più longevi della storia repubblicana siano tutti governi di centrodestra. La stabilità si costruisce quando un’alleanza condivide valori, obiettivi e una visione della Nazione, non quando l’unica ragione per stare insieme è impedire agli altri di governare.
Ma soprattutto, questa stabilità esiste grazie agli italiani che nel 2022 ci hanno dato fiducia.
Una fiducia che non abbiamo mai considerato un assegno in bianco e che non daremo mai per scontata. Il prossimo anno torneremo davanti ai cittadini con quello che abbiamo fatto, con quello che resta da fare e con la nostra idea di futuro. E saranno ancora una volta loro a decidere se meritiamo di continuare questo cammino.
Intanto il lavoro va avanti.
E questa sera ci vediamo a Bari, insieme alla grande comunità di Fratelli d’Italia. Sarà l’occasione per guardarci negli occhi, fare il punto sulla strada percorsa e, soprattutto, parlare di quella che abbiamo ancora davanti.
Avanti, con i piedi per terra e lo sguardo rivolto al futuro.

🚨 HEZBOLLAH’S STRATEGIC UNDERGROUND COMMAND CENTER FALLS IN SOUTHERN LEBANON
Israeli forces have taken control of Hezbollah and IRGC infrastructure on the Ali al-Taher Ridge, a major strategic position overlooking northern Israel.
PM Netanyahu:
“We eliminated many terrorists there and seized weapons, equipment and computers.”
Another critical Hezbollah stronghold is now in Israeli hands.

“It's very difficult in Ukraine right now.”
At the US Open, Marta Kostyuk used her platform to talk about russian terror against Ukrainians, including her family.
Thank you to everyone who speaks out and puts russian war crimes on the spotlight. It’s really important.
Naar het front gestuurd om te sterven
In deze video spreken we met twee krijgsgevangenen die aan Russische zijde aan het front vochten.
De eerste is een 43-jarige man uit Bakoe, Azerbeidzjan. Hij vertelt dat hij niet wil worden uitgewisseld en liever in Oekraïne blijft. De tweede man vertelt hoe hij uiteindelijk naar het front werd gestuurd en hoe zijn groep na enkele dagen werd gevangengenomen.
Beiden spreken over de slechte training, de behandeling van buitenlandse soldaten en de levensgevaarlijke opdrachten waarbij volgens hen bewust mensen de dood in worden gestuurd.
Twee aangrijpende verhalen over angst, dwang en een oorlog waarin zij naar eigen zeggen nooit wilden vechten. Wat er waar is van hun verhalen zullen we nooit zeker weten

LE PENOVÁ, BABIŠ, TRUMP. A HRANICE DEMOKRACIE
Marine Le Penová byla odsouzena i v odvolacím řízení. Přesto může kandidovat na prezidentku Francie.
Není v tom rozpor. Je to podstata právního státu.
O vině rozhoduje soud. O politické budoucnosti voliči.
Problém začíná ve chvíli, kdy politik přestane kritizovat rozsudek a začne útočit na samotnou legitimitu justice.
A tady už francouzský příběh připomíná Česko i Ameriku.
Andrej Babiš mluví o politickém procesu a přirovnává českou justici k totalitě. Donald Trump opakovaně vykresluje soudce, žalobce a vyšetřovatele jako součást politického tažení proti němu. Le Penová po prvním rozsudku tvrdě napadala jeho politické důsledky.
Ty případy nejsou stejné. Společný je ale jeden nebezpečný mechanismus:
Když soud rozhodne proti mně, problém není ve mně. Problém je v soudu.
Je to účinná politická zbraň. Pokud přesvědčíte své voliče, že soudce není nezávislý soudce, ale váš politický nepřítel, nemusíte už příliš vysvětlovat samotnou kauzu. Každý další rozsudek se stane jen „důkazem“ spiknutí.
Jenže volební vítězství není generální pardon.
Ani milion hlasů, ani deset milionů, ani sedmdesát milionů nedává politikovi právo rozhodovat, které soudy bude respektovat a které označí za politické.
Soudy mohou chybovat. Rozsudky se mohou měnit. Od toho existují odvolání a další opravné prostředky.
Ale pravidla musí platit pro všechny stejně.
Proto bychom měli velmi pozorně sledovat, co se děje i u nás. Premiér, který přirovnává justici vlastní země k totalitní, nevede jen osobní spor se soudem. Útočí na důvěru v jeden ze základních pilířů státu, v jehož čele sám stojí.
Nakonec nejde o Le Penovou, Trumpa ani Babiše.
Jde o mnohem důležitější otázku:
Je politik podřízen pravidlům státu, nebo mají být pravidla státu podřízena politikovi?
Politici přicházejí a odcházejí.
Pravidla musí zůstat.

🇳🇵 After 9 days trapped inside a flooded hydropower tunnel, 2 workers have been pulled out ALIVE in Nepal.
Rescue crews are pumping air into the tunnels and racing to reach at least 42 more at this site, with hundreds feared trapped elsewhere.
A tiny piece of good news in a disaster that has already killed at least 1,200 people.

Putin admitted that he made a mistake, and there will be long-term gasoline shortages.
Imagine how terrible the real situation must be and how bad internal reports are for him to say something this embarrassing publicly.
By the way, the mistake you made was invading Ukraine.
PETRAEUS: Every refinery in Russia within 3,000 km of Ukraine has been hit. Less than 30% of gas stations in Russia now have gas, and the fuel is so degraded that it is fouling cars. Damage inflicted by Ukraine is enormous, it's continuing, and it will only get worse for Russia.
Tesla just sent a new Robotaxi app update this morning that now officially supports Cybercab.
Here’s a look at the new UI from the App Store photos. You can choose wether you want a Cybercab, or Model Y Robotaxi when ordering.
• You now say “Hey Grok” when in the vehicle.
• Looks like you can adjust the interior accent lighting (may sync with your music).
• Adjust music and media from the phone, and more.
Cybercab launch is TODAY!
(Love how they used Terry Black’s in all the booking examples haha)
The 5 reasons why Vietnam will be rich:
1. Vietnamese are smart and the country is investing in education
2. They work hard
3. The government is competent
4. They have self respect
5. They have a communal spirit and work together
PS you gotta go down rabbit holes. That’s what life is about.
FM Sikorski:
"All [EU] member states should introduce a requirement to hold a biometric passport, so that Russian spies and saboteurs have a harder time entering under false identities.
We estimate that there are more than 2,000 of them, and we estimate that at least 40% are carrying out activities that are not consistent with their diplomatic status. They serve agencies that also carry out terrorist activities in our countries. In solidarity with Germany, we should implement all the basic safeguards necessary to protect our population." - @sikorskiradek

Ukraine's Kramatorsk Heavy Duty Machine Tool Building Plant, which manufactures the Bohdana self-propelled howitzer, says it has mastered production of artillery barrels for Western systems. KZVV currently produces barrels in 25, 35, 40, 105, 122, 125 and 155mm calibers. The company says BAE Systems primarily orders barrels for the M777, AS-90, L119, FH-70, Krab and Archer, while KZVV also cooperates with Leonardo, KNDS and Rheinmetall. #Ukraine
August was a brutal month for russia’s oil industry.
6 refineries completely shut down:
Kirishi. Kstovo. Perm. Orsk. Saratov. Novoshakhtinsk.
Six refineries. One month.
russia’s war machine runs on oil.
Ukraine is shutting it down — one refinery at a time.
They told Édith Piaf she was finished. So she sang “I regret nothing.” and gave a performance that not only was iconic but would go on to live in history forever.
In December 1960 she was exhausted, gravely ill, and under doctors’ orders to stay off the stage.
The Olympia was facing bankruptcy. Most people thought her career was already over.
She walked out anyway.
A few weeks earlier Charles Dumont and Michel Vaucaire had brought her a new song: Non, je ne regrette rien.
She heard it once and claimed it as her own no sentiment, no softness, only a driving march and absolute moral force.
Her posture was famously minimal she stood standing motionless in her simple black dress, letting her hands and voice carry the entire drama. She did not perform the song. She inhabited it.
That night she saved a theatre and turned a personal reckoning with loss into one of the century’s great statements of endurance.
Frail in body, inexhaustible in spirit, she remains one of the most iconic singers the 20th century ever produced.
The Little Sparrow did not fly away.
She simply refused to land.
Україна прощається з Євою Ройтер.
З людиною, яка встигла прожити сто життів в одному.
Їй було лише 25, але за спиною - не роки, а цілі епохи: від студентської лави в Академії мистецтв до окопів, де вона тримала чиюсь руку, поки той боєць не міг тримати зброю.
Вона могла б малювати прекрасні картини - і малювала, але обрала інше полотно: поле бою, де замість фарб - кров, а замість пензлів - турнікети.
Вона не чекала, що хтось прийде й урятує - вона сама стала тим, хто рятує.
Під обстрілами, в багнюці, вночі, без сну - вона витягала хлопців із пекла, бо для неї не існувало слова "не можу".
А потім вона сіла за дрони. Сама збирала їх, паяла, тестувала, бо розуміла: техніка теж рятує життя.
Вона створила цілий підрозділ "Гніздо»" - від назви до символіки, бо навіть у війні має бути краса й сенс.
І водночас - вона була тією, хто зустрічав іноземних добровольців, допомагала їм стати своїми, бо знала: світ має знати правду про Україну.
А вдома на неї чекали 11 котів, вона не могла пройти повз безпритульного.
Вона годувала, лікувала, зігрівала тих, кого ніхто не хотів. І так само вона ставилася до людей - без зайвих слів, просто була поруч.
Вона любила життя. Вона вміла сміятися голосно, дружити міцно, працювати до знемоги й ніколи не скаржитися.
Вона була тією, кого хочеться обійняти й не відпускати.
І сьогодні - тисячі людей прийшли, щоб сказати їй "дякую". Не "прощавай", а "дякую, що була".
Бо таких, як Єва, не забувають. Вони залишаються в серцях, у врятованих життях, у тих 11 котах, які чекають її вдома.
Вічна пам’ять, світла людино.
Ти зробила цей світ кращим.
