Crazy that this is getting barely any coverage. This year’s European Press Prize was just awarded to an investigative report by the Dutch newspaper De Volkskrant. It is entitled “What the Wounds Tell” and in it the journalists Maud Effting and Willem Feenstra document the cases of 114 children in Gaza under the age of 15 who were struck by a single bullet to the head or chest. Almost all of them died or were left severely disabled. They chose to document only the cases of boys and girls under the age of 15 (though often much younger: aged 3, 4 or 7) because these are children who can be immediately identified as such. “A single bullet in these parts of the body is a clear indication that these children were deliberately targeted“, the two journalists write.

Trump lässt 900 Tiefseesensoren aus dem Atlantik und Pazifik herausziehen – ein 370-Millionen-Dollar-Netzwerk das seit 2016 läuft.
Es sollte 30 Jahre laufen. Es wird nach 10 Jahren gestoppt. Was diese Sensoren messen: Meerestemperaturen. Strömungen. Salzgehalt. CO₂-Aufnahme. El-Niño-Früherkennung. AMOC – den Atlantischen Umwälzstrom der Europas Wetter reguliert. Ozeanograph Ed Dever: „Es ist ein lähmender Informationsverlust."
Project 2025 hatte das Netzwerk explizit als Quelle von „Klimaalarmismus" bezeichnet und seine Abschaltung gefordert.
Der Kongress hatte die Finanzierung zweimal gerettet.
Die NSF zog es trotzdem durch. Die Folgen werden Jahrzehnte dauern. Daten die wir nie mehr bekommen werden. 1/2

The visa chaos continues: Leave the US within 24 hours.
The Iranian national team has landed at its new training base in Mexico, but large parts of the delegation’s leadership are still being denied entry to the United States.
On Saturday came the news that Iran is accusing the US of unfair treatment after a significant portion of the country’s World Cup delegation was refused visas.
Now the Iranian football federation is furious and threatening to take the matter to FIFA.
The Iranian national football team has left Turkey and headed to Mexico to prepare for the upcoming World Cup. But the build-up is overshadowed by deep political divisions and travel chaos, according to the Daily Mail.
🚨There’s currently 2x Estonian owned Ships from Hansa Shipping at anchor in the Shannon Estuary, waiting for a free berth on Aughinish pier where they will on-load Alumina before sailing for Russia
Between them, enough Alumina to smelt approx 7500 tons of Aluminium #Alumina21
The United States has denied a visa for Iran's national team manager Mehdi Mohammadnabi.
He will be barred entering the U.S. for their the Fifa #WorldCup 2026 matches.
He & others also denied visas will travel to the team camp in Mexico whilst efforts to obtain visas continue.
This is Oleh.
He was 2.
russia decided that was enough.
A missile hit his home, killing Oleh, his mother, and 14 neighbors.
He never saw peace.
Never started school.
Never had a future.
His life ended before it began.
Non ho mai scritto a riguardo della raffineria di alluminio ad Aughinish in Irlanda; pensavo erroneamente: quanto alluminio può mai produrre l’Irlanda per la Russia?
Mi sbagliavo. La raffineria di Aughinsh, posseduta dal colosso russo “Rusal” (posseduto dall’oligarca Deripaska) produce un terzo di tutto il (poco) alluminio ancora prodotto in Europa. Tutto questo alluminio è trasportato in Russia dove viene usato per nutrire lo stesso complesso militare industriale che rade al suolo le città ucraine facendo stragi di civili.
Ma lo scandalo è ancora maggiore di quello che potrebbe sembrare: che le sanzioni europee non siano affatto complete e permettano ancora tali follie non era una novità. Quello che personalmente mi ha scandalizzato è il modo in cui i politici irlandesi, incalzati dal bravissimo reporter Caolan, neghino che la raffineria abbia una qualche connessione con il complesso militare russo, nonostante tutto, a partire dalle insegne fuori dalla struttura, porti a tale conclusione.
Questa roba deve finire all’istante. La raffineria va sanzionata, chiusa e basta.
🚨Caolan confirms he has obtained a sample of Alumina from Aughinish which he plans to get forensically tested against Russian battlefield debris which may prove the link between Russian weapons and Aughinish Alumina. #Alumina21
1/ Russia's corrupt elites are drinking 'Long Epstein Island' cocktails in St Petersburg while soldiers and civilians die, Crimea is effectively cut off, the Donbas is under constant attack, and Russian defenders struggle, an angry Russian warblogger complains. ⬇️
This young man @CaolanReports is terrific, and what he's reporting here👇about Irish politicians shames them and the country. They deserve to be exposed. Transparency should be the foundation of democracy, not an optional extra. Here, we see them avoiding this issue and hiding from scrutiny. Our foreign affairs minister has been telling anyone who'll listen that Ireland stands firmly behind and with Ukraine. The Taoiseach has said of Russia, “We have fully supported the sanctions packages agreed to date and are actively engaged with partners in looking at what further measures can be taken.” Of course, he's changed his mind quite a lot since then and now thinks that sanctioning Limerick-based plant Aughinish Alumina, which has a Russian parent company, would damage Ireland and the EU more than Russia. Now, the policy of the Irish government seems to be that ‘we will support sanctions if they don't affect us’. Kinda explains the logic behind the Occupied Territories Bill, insofar as we can support something that doesn't cost us anything, while using it to boast on the world stage about how principled we are.
Irish politicians who are shying away from this issue or avoiding questions about it are eroding trust and weakening democracy. It's shameful, and it shames them and us as a country
Rusal, the company that owns the Aughinish Alumina, continues to be controlled by sanctioned Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska, according to a confidential report by Swedish tax authorities.

One of the most horrifying scenes in human history has been revealed.
When Israel forced thousands in Gaza to collect flour mixed with sand due to severe famine.
A moment the world must never forget.
