The Panama papers consisted of 11 millions documents, 214 000 offshore companies, 14.000 customers.. And now 27 are charged, and that's it.

The bot missed what Stoltenberg said:

"The Nato chief, Jens Stoltenberg, has said any attack on the western military alliance would be met with a “united and forceful response”, after Donald Trump invited Russia to attack member countries that he perceived as not meeting their financial obligations.

Stoltenberg said in a statement: “Any suggestion that allies will not defend each other undermines all of our security, including that of the US, and puts American and European soldiers at increased risk. I expect that regardless of who wins the presidential election, the US will remain a strong and committed Nato ally.”

Here the original & complete NY times article, for those who want to read what they have written, and not what is speculated.

How sad when being patriotic means you have to fight your own homeland. Sometimes there are no other options.

Three weeks after one of Brazil’s worst-ever floods hit its southernmost state, killing 155 people and forcing 540,000 from their homes, experts have warned that water levels will take at least another two weeks to drop.

The death toll across Rio Grande do Sul is still increasing daily, and more than 77,000 displaced people remain in public shelters, prompting the state government to announce plans to build four temporary “tent cities” to accommodate them.

"Its stint in local government proved the Left’s worst fear true: Vox local governments censored books and movies, withdrew LGBT flags from town halls. Instead of seeking ‘normalisation’ as its peers - Le Pen and Meloni - did to become mainstream, VOX remained radically antagonistic.”

“Spaniards took notice and got scared as their dictatorship is still fresh in the country’s political imagination,” he added."

Glad many Spaniards took notice of Vox party-line and censorship, and instead chose freedom & civility and thus stopped the predictions.

Now awaiting the last signature from Hungary...(...).

This is probably just the tip of the iceberg:

"we still don’t know the extent of the foreign payments that Donald Trump received.(...)

James Comer and House Republicans buried further evidence of the Trump family’s staggering corruption."

All the best sorting the mods out!

World News is for all News OUTSIDE the United States, that's what the normal "News" is for

The division you make between domestic and worldnews is US centric. US newssites and journals follow this same logic. So, US citizens read their domestic news and everything that is not US, is considered worldnews . I get that.

The problem is that what sometimes is domestic to US, is sometimes worldnews for the rest of the world. This means some domestic US news is considered worldnews in other non US newspapers.

I don't care especially about domestic US News, but when it's considered major news by Non Us newsagents, it's usually important for the world as a whole.

Please, consider this element as well.

"If detonated, they would not damage the reactors but would create an image of shelling from the Ukrainian side,” the statement on Telegram said. It said the Ukrainian army stood “ready to act under any circumstances”.

In his nightly video message, Zelenskiy said Russia was planning to “simulate an attack” on the plant. “But in any case, the world sees – and cannot fail to see – that the only source of danger to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is Russia. And no one else.”

Zelenskiy and the Ukrainian military provided no evidence for their assertions"

Dunno if this is OK. Just thought it might be helpful for this community? If not ok, just delete it.

And, I even wonder if anyone would be surprised by this news.

Condemning Iran because of attacking back but when Israel does it - it suppose to be okay? Double standards.

No, you are wrong. The EU condemned the atack on the embassy in Damascus, see link

"BRUSSELS, April 3 (Reuters) - The European Union on Wednesday condemned an airstrike on the Iranian embassy in Damascus on April 1 that killed seven people and called on countries in the region to show restraint."

Please respond in an informed way, instead of escalating things without any basis. Let's stay on topic.

Is that good? The article gives no context for the results.

For context here another article by France24

And they state:

" Labelled a separatist by Beijing, the winner in Taiwan’s presidential race has promised to stick to Tsai’s policy of maintaining the status quo, which avoids open declarations of independence while rejecting China’s sovereignty claims. "

"If detonated, they would not damage the reactors but would create an image of shelling from the Ukrainian side,” the statement on Telegram said. It said the Ukrainian army stood “ready to act under any circumstances”.

In his nightly video message, Zelenskiy said Russia was planning to “simulate an attack” on the plant. “But in any case, the world sees – and cannot fail to see – that the only source of danger to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is Russia. And no one else.”

Zelenskiy and the Ukrainian military provided no evidence for their assertions"

They are actually working towards a petition to ban AFD as being unconstitutional and anti democratic.

Wolfgang Thierse, a former president of the German parliament who is considered a moral authority in the country, threw his weight behind an initiative to explore the possibility of banning the party on the grounds of anti-constitutionality.

He also offered his support for a petition looking to revoke the basic rights of prominent party members considered to be enemies of the constitution. A petition specifically directed against the Thuringia AfD’s group leader, Björn Höcke, has gained traction since the Potsdam meeting was revealed and by Tuesday had garnered more than 830,000 signatures.

This is culturally and politically so extremely wrong. Good that some Italian Polticians called against it,and I really hope Italy is cancelling it.

How is Dugin even allowed to enter the EU/ Schengen area; isn't he on a sanctioned persons list?!

The department said it made its finding based on the group’s history of violence rooted in “its openly racist, anti-immigrant, antisemitic, anti-LGBTQI+ platform”. The United States remains deeply concerned about the racially or ethnically motivated violent extremist threat worldwide and is committed to countering the transnational components of violent white supremacy,” a department statement said.

Because Musk's businesses operate in the US and are subject to US sanctions.

Exactly, if this story checks out, it's time he as person and all other Putin loving friends are fully sanctioned, and put on the list.

Nothing crazy.

Whatever marbles he had left, he lost them all...

And still whistleblowers are being sentenced, jailed, prosecuted by Gvements ( and sometimes killed)

I get the security thing, but war crimes and industrial crimes should be measured on another different scale altogether. Most of those guys should get a medal, imo. WTF?!

The banks were among the guarantor lenders under a contract for the construction of a gas processing plant in Russia with Germany's Linde, which was terminated due to Western sanctions.

A better term would be "developing nations" . The term " third world" refers to not being part of NATO (or not aligned to NATO), and is outdated. Also, there are various sorts of developing countries, richer, poorer, and some are war or conflict zones.

where have i heard this super nifty phrase before???

Exactly, this. It's very worrying

Also as quoted by The Guardian livefeed:

" Now, Ukraine claims 34 officers were killed, including the fleet commander, admiral Viktor Sokolov with 105 injured, but it has provided no evidence to support its claim and the claims have not yet been independently be verified. The figures are also vastly different from what Russia has reported.

Evidence will probably follow suite..

Very good news! Godspeed for those in the front.

Germany and many other European countries which had abolished the compulsory military service years ago, are considering reintroducing it.

We had some decades of peace, but those times appear to be ending: EU should prepare for war by end of the decade

Add fyi: Is compulsory military service coming back in Europe

Definitely conflict of interest. Whether that lawyer is "upstanding" or not, is not the issue here, imo. Unless he really is the only one in the whole of Brazil, which is unimaginable.

"What they found was evidence of “systematically organized, [large] scale war crimes, led by Lukashenko personally and supported by some individuals and so-called NGOs,” he said in an interview."

If true, Lukashenko's name should also be added on the long list in The Hague, if his isn't there already..

Ah yes, though he submitted the bill, he is expected to sign the bill into law in the coming days.

Yeah it sounds pretty bad. Apart from the terrible working condition and human abuse, I worry for their lack of concern for the fishing population as they have no regards for endangered species and future world population of fish and seamamals, and they currently form the biggest fleets in the world.

"When quizzed about illegal activities aboard Chinese boats, 80% of them had reported shark finning — the act of removing fins from sharks and discarding the rest of the shark back into the ocean — and 59% reported the deliberate capture and/or injury of vulnerable marine megafauna, including manta rays, dolphins and sharks.

Location: "Mykhailivka, a village on the right bank of the River Dnieper in Ukraine, lies dangerously close to the front line of Russia’s war on its western neighbour. Seventy years ago, however, it was the site of an excavation by Ukrainian archaeologists. There, they discovered one of the earliest known settlements of the Yamnaya culture."

"Papperger said that Rheinmetall would not abandon its plans to set up a plant in Ukraine, and that they planned to protect it from attacks with air defence systems of their own manufacture"

This real? I wonder how far they'll set up their perimeters. Maybe other factories will follow this trend. Self- defense is key.

To be clear: "NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg announced on Monday that 23 of its 32 member states were expected to meet the alliance's defense spending commitments this year. That is 13 countries more compared to last year's data, and five more than an earlier estimate in February."

How about we punish the people who actually still own slaves instead?

This.

I wish ppl would focus on what's actually happening now, then on what happened centuries ago.

Mind you, I'm not downplaying what happened, just putting the discussion in a broader and more direct context.

According to this site( ILO) there are approximately 50 million slaves. This might be a low estimate.

Edited.

"Iranian-born Eliyahu Yossian, a virtual unknown until the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, has in recent months become a mainstay on Channel 14 – a right-wing pro-Netanyahu Israeli television station often likened to Fox News.(...)

Speaking during a news debate on Channel 14 last October, he commented: "I don't believe in liberal values. I loathe liberal values. I utterly reject them. Now, you say that we're liberals. That 'we' – I'm not part of it. There is no cultural affinity between you and me."

He doesn't like liberal values, he prefers xtreme right.

Can anyone find any sources on this story other than the linked one? Because I found..

Probably not, OP source is questionable and not a very trustworthy source.

In Mexico, violence against journalists has risen to the point that the country is now a sad record-holder. Multiple organizations, including Reporters Without Borders (RSF), have deemed Mexico the deadliest country for journalists in North and South America. In 2022, Mexico was the country with the most murdered journalists worldwide (11), according to RSF.

In addition to murders, human rights organizations such as Article 19 also track daily attacks against journalists, and found that in June 2022, a journalist or media institution was attacked every 14 hours in Mexico.

Article 19 estimates that many attacks on journalists in Mexico originate from state or local authorities. Since 2007, the Mexican administration — be it at the federal, state, communal or local level — is the most common aggressor against media. In the first half of 2022, authorities committed 128 attacks, or about 38,67% of all attacks the organization documented.

It's been a legit military target since it was build.

For sure, I just read it as if Zelensky has said this to warn off civilians, as he usually does. They probably have some specific plans this week. We'll see.

Good to know that it's official now. Whether something will change; we'll see..
