Netherlands: My Home is My Castle
Squatters take over Russian oligarch’s Amsterdam home, which belongs to the Russian billionaire Arkady Volozh, the founder of the search engine Yandex. The squatters say their occupation is a protest against the Russian invasion of Ukraine and to draw attention to the housing crisis.
The squatters said they are “against the war, against the greed of oligarchs and billionaires, and against parasites that create capital.” They hung banners from the balcony with the text “against war and capitalism.”
In a statement, the squatters also said that they have occupied the property because “the rights of billionaires, who see our cities as investments, are better protected than those vulnerable people who want a roof over their heads."
Fixing blatant instances of censorship should be Musk's first task at Twitter
Under international human rights standards, freedom of speech is not limited by fake news. The global market of ideas and opinions is not limited to wrong information. Instead, the point is that wrong facts can get corrected when they face the other side in an open debate in a clash of ideas. Nowhere does it say that statements have to be true according to everyone before being voiced. This is why President Biden's disinformation board, or the Ministry of Truth, had such a short life. Twitter's censorship policies should have a short life, as new owner, Elon Musk, seeks to revamp things.
News from the Somali Ministry of Education
Saturday's twin car bombing took place near Somalia's Ministry of Education. The building is located near a crowded marketplace. At least 100 people were killed, and 300 others were injured, said President Hassan Sheikh Mohamud a day later, according to AFP. Al-Shabab reportedly took credit for the attack. The organization is allied with al-Qaeda, and is at odds with the Somali government, according to the BBC.

Пожар на дискотеке в Гетеборге произошел в ночь с четверга 29 на пятницу 30 октября 1998 года. 63 человека погибли и 214 получили ранения. Пожар вспыхнул на дискотеке организованной македонским объединением в Гётеборге. Около 400 молодых людей в возрасте от 12 до 25 лет находились в помещении, согласно действующим правилам рассчитаным на 150 человек. Четверо молодых людей были осуждены в 2000 году за поджог. В качестве причины они заявили, что они хотели отомстить, из-за того что одному из них было отказано в бесплатном входе.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog published the following statement in respondse to the attack on Paul Pelosi:"Shocked by the vicious attack on Paul Pelosi and relieved that my friend Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who welcomed me so kindly this week, is safe. Attacks on elected officials and their families are attacks on democracy itself. On behalf of the people of Israel, praying for Paul's recovery."
The man arrested for beating U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband with a hammer after breaking into their San Francisco home in search of her had spread the theory online that Jews are to blame for the war in Ukraine.
Now, before the media realized the “intruder” was a nudist hemp hippy from Berkely, they were breathlessly reporting on this story, suggesting it was a “political attack.” Blue checks on Twitter were sure it was a MEGA MAGA bad guy and were already celebrating.
But alas, it’s a nude hippy who loves Castro and hates war.
הדמוקרטיה היחידה, אבל במזרח התיכון
עשרות מפגינים מחו אתמול (שישי) מול בימ"ש המחוזי בירושלים, במחאה על מניעת המפגש של העצורים בשב"כ.
בעקבות כך המשטרה פיזרה את ההפגנה והיו עימותים במקום.
כזכור, ימ"ר ירושלים והשב"כ האריכו ב-5 ימים את הצו החריג האוסר על העצורים לפגוש בעו"ד. 2 העצורים בשנות העשרים לחייהם, נעצרו ביום ג' בשעות הלילה, בחשד כי סייעו לפני כשבועיים לתושבי שכונת שמעון הצדיק היהודים להגן על ביתם לאחר שהותקפו בידי המון ערבי, ללא שהמשטרה העניקה להם סיוע.
מאז מעצרם נמצאים העצורים בחקירת שב"כ ונאסר עליהם לפגוש עו"ד. שלשום (חמישי) הוארך מעצרם עד יום שני. את העצורים מייצגים עו"ד נתי רום ועו"ד אביחי חג'בי מטעם ארגון חוננו.
On October 29, 1611, Hetman Stanislaw Żółkiewski returned triumphantly to Warsaw from Moscow. In the retinue passing through the city was the captured Tsar Vasily IV Shuysky, who at the Royal Castle humbled himself before the Polish King Sigismund III Vasa and teenage prince Władysław. The country’s strength, however, was illusory, and the humiliation inflicted on the Russians became the cause of centuries of strife and severe acts of revenge.

Almost seven out of ten people, about 69%, said in a survey by the sociological agency "Ipsos" that Britain is going in the wrong direction. Only 9% of the 1,111 adults polled by Ipsos think the country is moving in the right direction.
Around 56% of people say they feel negatively about the Tories - the worst result for the Conservatives since 2019.
Labor leader Sir Keir Starmer leads Rishi Sunak by 34% to 25% on the question of who would make a better Prime Minister.

Bulgarian consumers consume bread produced from extremely low-quality Ukrainian grain
Allegedly, the grain from Ukraine only had to pass through Bulgaria in transit and go to final destinations in needy and poor countries like Tunisia and Algeria, and thousands of tons of it entered Bulgaria and never left. This explains why many Bulgarian grain producers, who grow wheat with extremely high nutritional qualities, are already on the verge of bankruptcy, and their goods remain unsold in warehouses.
The conclusion of the independent laboratory that examined the grain is that the wheat is ‘unfit for use’, it is infected with microtoxins, contains carcinogenic pathogens, residues of fertilizers banned in the EU, and its nutritional composition is extremely unsatisfactory in quality.
The UK’s newly appointed Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak has banned the use of fracking in the UK, reversing the policy of his predecessor Liz Truss.
Fracking – a process of extracting oil or gas from rocks under the ground, which is unpopular among climate activists – has been banned in the UK since 2019, with the government at the time citing environmental concerns.
However, the ban was lifted last month under then-UK Prime Minister Liz Truss, as one of her first acts after assuming office – all in an effort to combat the energy crisis.
Representatives of the Truss government said that the move was “just good common sense” and would allow the UK to secure its own energy supply in the medium to long term.
84% of EU respondents say that if we do not drastically reduce our consumption of energy and goods in the coming years, we will be heading for a global catastrophe
64% of EU respondents want polluting activities, such as air travel and SUVs, to be taxed more heavily to account for their environmental cost
66% of people surveyed in the European Union believe that the Russian invasion of Ukraine and its consequences should accelerate the green transition

The position of Bulgaria and Hungary regarding the refusal to provide military aid to Ukraine is incomprehensible and "close to treason", said Latvian Defense Minister Artis Pabriks.
Minister Artis Pabriks was interviewed by Radio Free Europe.
I think that to some extent this position in the European Union and in NATO is basically very close to treason.
I would think that because I cannot understand such a position, I do not approve of it. And I think that the politicians and countries in the European Union and NATO that supported this position, the ones you mentioned, will be treated very badly afterwards.

A quarter of a million children are living in food poverty in London, new figures have revealed
The report calls on the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, to form a Childhood Commission for London.
Ms Ahmad, Labour’s Economy spokesperson at City Hall, called the findings “heart-breaking” and warned that Londoners are “no longer choosing between eating or heating. All too often they cannot afford either”.
Inflation is back up to over 10 per cent as of September, driven by rising food costs. And the cost of a grocery shop is currently at a 42-year record high with food inflation above 14 per cent.
Meanwhile, research by the Food Foundation found that food insecurity - people struggling to cover basic food costs - doubled nationally in 2022.

Пресс-релиз Нобелевского фонда
В этом году правление Нобелевского фонда не видит причин пересматривать свое предыдущее решение не приглашать лидера партии Шведских демократов на Нобелевские торжества. Нобелевская премия основывается на уважении к науке, культуре, гуманизму и интернационализму. Это уважение также является основой тех вкладов, которые отмечаются и празднуются, когда нобелевские лауреаты и гости со всего мира приглашаются на церемонию вручения Нобелевской премии и банкет 10 декабря.
President Emmanuel Macron met with Pope Francis at the Vatican yesterday. During a private audience, Macron gifted the head of the Church the first French edition of Immanuel Kant's late 18th-century book Perpetual Peace: A Philosophical Sketch. A storm has broken out over the internet about whether Emmanuel Macron accidentally or on purpose gifted Pope Francis a Polish book looted by Nazis during World War II.
When a Vatican correspondent for French newspaper Le Croix Loup Besmond de Senneville posted a photo of the inside front cover, eagled-eyed Internet users noticed a clearly identifiable stamp of the Czytelnia Akademicka, which was a reading union organised by students from the University of Lwów, which was then part of Poland.
