With @cindymccain stepping down as the head of @WFP, it's time for UN leaders & leading WFP member states to tell @realDonaldTrump that the days of an American leading WFP are OVER unless the USA pays up in full all its overdue payments to the UN system. @antonioguterres @SecRubio @kiptom @WFPUSA

An Iranian man left this comment on my YouTube channel. This is without a doubt the single best explanation of the reality facing Iranian people today👇

"As an Iranian, I can tell you the situation is no longer just political—it's existential. We are trapped between two collapsing structures: one internal, one external. On one hand, we face a deeply dysfunctional government, led by the Supreme Leader and the Islamic Republic’s unelected institutions.

Decades of economic mismanagement, suppression of dissent, and brutal ideological control have alienated multiple generations. No one believes in reform anymore—because every attempt has either been co-opted or crushed. But here's the paradox: We are also terrified of regime collapse—because we've watched the aftermath of Western intervention in countries like Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan. Each was promised freedom; each descended into chaos, civil war, or foreign occupation.

So no, we don't trust the U.S. or Israel. Not because we support our regime—but because we know how imperial powers treat ‘liberated’ nations in the Middle East.

Freedom, in their language, often means vacuum, fire, and permanent instability. Right now, many Iranians live with three truths at once: The Islamic Republic is morally and politically bankrupt. The alternatives offered by foreign actors are not liberation—they’re collapse.

A bad government is survivable. No government is not. We are not silent because we agree. We are cautious because we’ve learned—too well—what happens when superpowers decide to "help." In a sentence: Iran is a nation held hostage by its own regime, but haunted by the fate of its neighbors. We are stuck in a house we hate, surrounded by fires we fear more."

Kim Corbisier was a Belgian-Hungarian artist who died too young in 2012 but who left a powerful and internationally recognised oeuvre.
I was honoured to open her memorial exhibition at the Institute for Contemporary Art in Dunaújváros, where she spent her childhood. Until 7.11.

Congratulations to new Nobel Peace Prize laureate María Corina Machado for her courageous struggle to bring democracy to Venezuela. It should inspire those engaged in similar struggles around the world - and remind those of us lucky enough to live in America that we have a solemn responsibility to constantly preserve and defend our own hard-won democratic traditions.

[The London Economic @LondonEconomic]

Instead of the prize being awarded to someone who seems to be doing their best to get rid of democracy, the Nobel committee recognised someone doing the exact opposite - Venezuelan democracy campaigner María Corina Machado 👏

[Belga News Agency_English @Belga_English]

ALERT: Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize 2025.

🚨 The HIV response is in crisis. Funding cuts, rising infections & deaths—and now the UN SG plans to sunset @UNAIDS in 2026.
We say NO. This is a betrayal of the 2030 goal to #EndAIDS.

The UN General Assembly has endorsed a resolution reviving a two-state solution between Israel and Palestine. It also calls for Hamas to end its rule in Gaza. Israel and the US were among the 10 members who voted against it.

Netanyahu: I want to present to you, Mr. President, the letter I sent to the Nobel Prize Committee, nominating you for the peace prize, which is well-deserved

Trump: Thank you very much. Coming from you in particular this is very meaningful
