BERLINER ZEITUNG: Nach dem Tod eines indigenen Mädchens ist es im australischen Alice Springs zu Gewalt gekommen. Demonstranten forderten „Payback“ – eine traditionelle Form der Vergeltung.
In der abgelegenen australischen Stadt Alice Springs sind Hunderte Demonstranten mit Polizei und Rettungskräften aneinandergeraten. Auslöser war die Festnahme eines 47-Jährigen, der verdächtigt wird, ein fünfjähriges indigenes Mädchen entführt und getötet zu haben.
Die Polizei erklärte, der Mann habe sich am Donnerstagabend in einem sogenannten Town Camp gestellt – informellen indigenen Siedlungen am Rand der Stadt. Bewohner hätten daraufhin begonnen, Selbstjustiz gegen ihn auszuüben und den Verdächtigen bewusstlos geschlagen.
Als der Mann anschließend ins Krankenhaus gebracht wurde, versammelten sich laut Behörden rund 400 Menschen vor dem Gebäude. Auf Videos des australischen Senders ABC war zu hören, wie Demonstranten „Payback“ forderten – eine traditionelle Form körperlicher Vergeltung in einigen indigenen Gemeinschaften Australiens. » | Alexander Schmalz | Freitag, 1.

Guerre en Ukraine : les frappes de drones russes au plus haut en avril
LE FIGARO : Les forces russes ont notamment augmenté leur nombre de frappes durant la journée - alors que Moscou visait précédemment l’Ukraine presque exclusivement pendant la nuit -, ce que Kiev dénonce comme une tactique.
La Russie a visé l'Ukraine avec un nombre record de frappes de drones de longue portée au mois d'avril, selon une analyse par l'AFP des données publiées par les forces aériennes ukrainiennes. Moscou a lancé 6583 drones de longue portée pendant le mois d'avril, soit une augmentation de 2% par rapport au mois de mars, avec notamment une multiplication de frappes en journée, alors que les négociations pour mettre fin au conflit déclenché par l'invasion russe en février 2022 sont au point mort.
Les forces russes ont notamment augmenté leur nombre de frappes durant la journée - alors que Moscou visait précédemment l'Ukraine presque exclusivement pendant la nuit -, ce que Kiev dénonce comme une tactique destinée à faire un maximum de victimes civiles alors que le conflit a déjà fait des dizaines de milliers de morts. Le nombre de missiles tirés par Moscou - 141 - était aussi en hausse de 2% par rapport au mois précédent, mais loin des 288 tirs recensés en février. D'après les données de l'armée de l'air ukrainienne, 88% des drones et missiles ont été interceptés au cours du mois. » | Par Le Figaro avec AFP | vendredi 1 mai 2026

El dilema de Sheinbaum: desafiar a EE. UU. o arrestar a un aliado
THE NEW YORK TIMES: El gobierno de Trump quiere que la presidenta Claudia Sheinbaum detenga a un gobernador mexicano. Ella cuenta con pocas buenas opciones como respuesta.

Una granada política acaba de caer en manos de Claudia Sheinbaum, la presidenta de México.
El miércoles, fiscales estadounidenses presentaron una acusación contra uno de los políticos más destacados de su partido —Rubén Rocha Moya, gobernador del estado mexicano de Sinaloa— en la que se decía que durante mucho tiempo había apoyado a un poderoso cártel de la droga que ha aterrorizado a los mismos ciudadanos a los que juró proteger.
Estados Unidos pidió al gobierno de Sheinbaum que lo detuviera rápidamente, junto con otros nueve funcionarios y exfuncionarios mexicanos mencionados en la acusación.
Esto ha hecho que Sheinbaum tenga poco tiempo para tomar una decisión importante.

Why Countries Are Stocking Up on Gold
THE NEW YORK TIMES: As risk has escalated, central banks have bought more gold to stash in reserve. A widening Middle East war could add to the urgency.
Screenshot taken from this NYT article. | Gold bars stored at the Bank of England. | Bank of England | Credits: Unavailable
Central banks around the world have bulked up their reserves of gold, a safe but cumbersome investment that has been revived in popularity by intensifying geopolitical tensions and concerns over inflation.
This year, the price of gold exceeded $5,000 per troy ounce for the first time in history. One major reason prices have soared — doubling in a year and a half — is the demand from emerging economies: The central banks of Poland, Turkey, India and China have been some of the biggest buyers of gold in the past several years.
The shock to the global financial system from the war in the Middle East has underlined again how some central banks turn to gold during times of stress.
Central banks have continued to add to their holdings of gold since the conflict began in late February, including those in China, Poland, the Czech Republic and Uzbekistan, according to data from the World Gold Council. In March, China’s central bank bought more gold than it had in more than a year. Guatemala also bought gold in March, for the first time in about six months, the council said. » | Eshe Nelson | Eshe Nelson, who reported from London, has written about central banks and financial markets for more than a decade. | Friday, May 1, 2026

The Dark Reality of Being Gay in an Indian Family
Apr 29, 2026 | Dhiren Doshi-Smith grew up in East Ham, London, navigating the heavy expectations of his British Indian heritage and the strict cultural boundaries of his Jain community. Living with a large extended family above a shop, Dhiren realised he was different from a young age but quickly learned to mask his authentic self.
Surrounded by an environment where queerness was deeply taboo and "gay" was weaponised as a slur alongside compounding local racism, the space to be himself simply did not exist.
Carrying immense shame and the daunting expectation of a traditional arranged marriage, Dhiren lived a painful double life. It was not until his mid-thirties, against the heartbreaking backdrop of his mother’s terminal illness, that a profound turning point arrived. Witnessing the fragility of life and seeing his secret boyfriend lovingly care for his dying mother, Dhiren realised he could no longer merely exist. He had to finally thrive.
Choosing to step out of the shadows, Dhiren shed the grief of his hidden years to fully embrace his truth. Today, he is happily married to that same partner and thrives openly as a therapeutic counsellor and EDI corporate trainer, dedicating his life to supporting queer mental health in often hostile environments.
From overcoming his intense fear of visibility to famously fronting Pride in London’s billboard campaigns, Dhiren has transformed his deepest cultural trauma into his greatest strength. By sharing his powerful story, he actively works to dismantle the heavy shame carried by queer people of colour, proving that stepping into your authenticity leads to a beautiful, liberated life.

Psychology of Gay Gen X Who Came Out Late
Apr 30, 2026 | Psychology of Gay Gen X Who Came Out Late
A lot of Gen X men knew who they were by the time they were fifteen. They just couldn't say it out loud. Not in the eighties. Not during AIDS. Not when two-thirds of the country thought being gay should be illegal. So they did what Gen X does best — they adapted, they performed, and they survived. This is about what it cost them, what finally changed, and why some of them are only now walking through a door that's been open for years.

LOOKING BACK: Margaret Thatcher Questioned Live on AIDS Crisis, Iran-Contra, and Popularity (1986)
Apr 30, 2026 | In November 1986, ITN presenter Leonard Parkin interviewed the Prime Minister of the day, Margaret Thatcher. Parkin pressed the Prime Minister on the UK's response to the AIDS crisis - describing it as "the biggest threat that mankind has had to face". The ITN journalist also asked about the Iran Contra affair and why Thatcher still supported US President Ronald Reagan on the issue as public mood on both sides of the Atlantic shifted.
The interview ends with a discussion about Thatcher's own popularity and how the public viewed her. The "Iron Lady" - not for turning as ever - admitted that hearing the negative views about her was painful as she is human, but nevertheless described those opinions as "wrong".
Thatcher had been in power for seven years - having won two general elections, in 1979 and 1983 - and was eyeing another victory when the country went to the polls.
During the interview she is asked about a range of subjects: from the potential for an early election, the language used in politics, and her view on whether Labour could survive another general election loss.
Loved by many and disliked by many, too; but two things are certain: she was a FORMIDABLE LADY with OODLES of POLISH.
When she was in power, I was one of her greatest fans, for she breathed life into a sclerotic nation. As the years have passed, I must confess that I have seen that many of our problems today, such as extreme wealth inequality and foreign ownership of British businesses, can be traced back directly to her policies and to Thatcherism. Nevertheless, it is also an undeniable fact that she was an extremely capable politician and leader. Would that we had such an effective leader today!
Thatcher was a politician of conviction. One great aspect of her mission was to free up the people and to remove government interference in how people led their lives. So, in many ways she was the complete opposite of the interfering Starmer, who is an interfering micro-manager, and who has absolutely no understanding of, or respect for, people’s freedom to live their lives as they see fit. — © Mark Alexander

Supreme Leader Says Iran Is Planning for Ongoing Control of Strait
The NEW YORK TIMES: Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei said in a statement that Iran would establish “new legal frameworks” for the Strait of Hormuz. He also said his country would retain its nuclear capabilities.

Iran’s supreme leader issued a rare statement on Thursday saying that the United States had no place in the future of the Persian Gulf region and making clear that his country planned to manage the strategic Strait of Hormuz waterway going forward.
In the defiant message, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei also vowed that Iran would retain its nuclear capabilities. The lengthy statement from the Iranian leader, who has not been seen in public since he was named to the top post nearly two months ago, was shared by his office.
It touched on two of the thorniest issues stalling talks on permanently ending the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran, which began in late February and paused when a cease-fire was reached this month. Those positions put Iran at odds with the United States, which has sought to curtail Iran’s nuclear ambitions and insisted that it cannot restrict use of the Strait of Hormuz to vessels of its choosing.
“By the will and power of God, the bright future of the Persian Gulf region will be a future without America,” said the statement, which was released on Iran’s National Day of the Persian Gulf, an annual commemoration of a 1622 military victory over Portugal in the Strait of Hormuz. » | Leo Sands | Thursday, April 30, 2026

Trump Tells Merz to ‘Fix His Broken Country’ in New Attack on German Chancellor
THE GUARDIAN: US president’s latest outburst comes a day after he suggested a ‘possible reduction’ in US troops in Germany
Donald Trump has again lashed out at Germany’s chancellor, Friedrich Merz, saying he should focus on “fixing his broken country” and trying to end the Russia-Ukraine war – and spend less time “interfering” in Iran.
“The Chancellor of Germany should spend more time on ending the war with Russia/Ukraine (Where he has been totally ineffective!),” Trump wrote in a social media post.
Merz should instead focus on “fixing his broken Country,” he wrote, “especially Immigration and Energy, and less time on interfering with those that are getting rid of the Iran Nuclear threat, thereby making the World, including Germany, a safer place!”

Kimmel, quien tiene un largo historial de enfrentamientos con el presidente, se había imaginado a sí mismo como presentador de la cena. “Por supuesto, nuestra primera dama, Melania, está aquí”, dijo el jueves por la noche. Luego, fingiendo dirigirse a ella, la llamó “tan hermosa” y añadió: “Señora Trump, tiene un brillo como el de una futura viuda”. Hizo bromas sobre la edad y la salud de Donald Trump.

Mamdani’s Advice to Royals: Give That Priceless Diamond Back to India
THE NEW YORK TIMES: Mayor Zohran Mamdani and King Charles did not meet privately. But if they had, the mayor said, he probably would have raised the issue of the Koh-i-Noor Diamond. [sic]
Hours before greeting King Charles III in Lower Manhattan on Wednesday, Mayor Zohran Mamdani was asked about the royal visit during a news conference in the Bronx.
The mayor quickly distanced himself, saying that he would be attending a ceremony at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum “alongside a number of other elected officials” and that would be the extent of his interaction with the king.
But what would he say to King Charles if they were to have a private meeting?
“I would probably encourage him to return the Koh-i-Noor Diamond,” Mr. Mamdani said.
The mayor’s decision to invoke the 105.6-carat diamond — taken from an 11-year-old Indian prince in the 1840s when India was a British colony and presented to Queen Victoria — was in character.
Mr. Mamdani was born in Uganda, also once part of the British Empire, to Indian parents who have helped to shape his political views. His father, Mahmood Mamdani, is a leading scholar of anticolonialism. His mother, Mira Nair, is an award-winning filmmaker whose movies have examined the colonial experience. India has lobbied for the diamond, part of the crown jewels in the Tower of London, to be returned.
Mr. Mamdani is also the city’s first democratic socialist mayor, and he has said his goal is to uplift the city’s working-class residents. » | Jeffrey C. Mays | Wednesday, April 29, 2026

Ex-FBI Director Surrenders over Charge of Threatening President Trump in Instagram Post | BBC News
Apr 29, 2026 | Former FBI Director James Comey surrendered to authorities on Wednesday to face a charge alleging that an image he briefly shared on social media posed a threat to the life of US President Donald Trump.
It stems from an Instagram post shared by Comey, which contained an image of seashells on a beach arranged to read "86 47". "Eighty-six" is a slang term for "get rid of", and prosecutors allege it encourages violence against Trump, the 47th president.
Comey denies any wrongdoing, saying he did not know what the numbers meant, and accused the prosecution of political motivation.
This marks the second time the justice department has brought criminal charges against Comey, a long-time critic of Trump.

Trump Threatens to Reduce Troop Numbers in Germany amid Growing Row with Nato Allies
THE GUARDIAN: US president’s threat comes after Germany’s Friedrich Merz suggests Trump team is being outplayed in its negotiations with Iran
The US may reduce its number of troops deployed in Germany, Donald Trump has announced, days after the country’s chancellor said America was being “humiliated” by Iran.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, the US president said his administration was “studying and reviewing the possible reduction of troops in Germany, with a determination to be made over the next short period of time”.
On Monday, Friedrich Merz suggested the Trump team was being outplayed in its negotiations with Iran to secure an end to the ongoing war and a reopening of the strait of Hormuz.
“The Iranians are obviously very skilled at negotiating, or rather, very skilful at not negotiating, letting the Americans travel to Islamabad and then leave again without any result,” the German chancellor said.
Merz reiterated his criticisms on Wednesday, saying Europe was “suffering” from the consequences of the closure of the strait. » | Jonathan Yerushalmy | Thursday, April 30, 2026

On Monday, Friedrich Merz suggested the Trump team was being outplayed in its negotiations with Iran to secure an end to the ongoing war and a reopening of the strait of Hormuz.
“The Iranians are obviously very skilled at negotiating, or rather, very skilful at not negotiating, letting the Americans travel to Islamabad and then leave again without any result,” the German chancellor said.
Merz reiterated his criticisms on Wednesday, saying Europe was “suffering” from the consequences of the closure of the strait. » | Jonathan Yerushalmy | Thursday, April 30, 2026

Epstein Obtained Objects From Islam’s Holiest Site for His Island ‘Mosque’
THE NEW YORK TIMES: Jeffrey Epstein’s messages cast light on an unusual building on his private island and show how his connections helped him secure tapestries from Mecca for it.

Tapestries embroidered with Quranic verses were shipped from the Kaaba in Mecca, Islam’s holiest shrine. Tiles came from a mosque in Uzbekistan. A golden metal dome was made to replicate the architecture of ancient Syria.
Jeffrey Epstein spent years making connections across the Middle East, in pursuit of business deals and two intertwined hobbies: acquiring rare Islamic artifacts with which to decorate an unusual building on his private island, and expanding his network of wealthy, powerful people.
Through connections that extended into the royal court of Saudi Arabia, Mr. Epstein secured a meeting with Mohammed bin Salman, now the Saudi crown prince, and also obtained elaborate tapestries that once adorned the sacred spaces inside the Kaaba and covered its exterior walls. » | Ephrat Livni | Wednesday, April 29, 2026

Dumping Trump: MAGA Loses Voters as Trump Polling Plummets
Apr 30, 2026 | Jen Psaki shares testimonials from a new web site that features Trump voters who are realizing that what he is doing in office is not what they signed up for. This regret is also seen in new Reuters/Ipsos polling that shows Trump's approval to be at its lowest point in his second term.
Also in this week's episode, Donald Trump finds another thing to stick his face on, Pete Hegseth makes the bizarre decision to compare Trump's war on Iran with Iraq, Afghanistan, and Vietnam, and Jen exposes what a weak overreach Trump's latest harangue against Jimmy Kimmel really is.

Pollo al ajillo — How to Make Authentic Garlic Chicken
Apr 21, 2026 | Pollo al ajillo is a classic Spanish garlic chicken dish that requires just a few ingredients and relies on the combination of olive oil, garlic, and herbs.
In this video, I’ll show you the classic preparation step by step. The key is how the garlic cooks in the oil and how the chicken first browns and then finishes cooking in the oven.
The garlic cloves remain in their skins and are only lightly crushed. This allows them to slowly release their aroma and become soft and mild.
The chicken is first seared in a pan and then transferred to a cazuela [casserole] in the oven. This keeps it juicy and allows it to absorb the flavors of the wine, herbs, and garlic. A simple dish that thrives on proper preparation.

La guerre au Moyen-Orient risque de jeter plus de 30 millions de personnes dans la pauvreté
LE FIGARO : Le conflit va tout particulièrement affecter « l’Afrique subsaharienne et certains pays en Asie », ou encore «les petites îles en développement». Les populations vont souffrir des « coûts d’énergie, du manque d’engrais, ce qui va avoir un impact énorme dans les mois à venir ».
Le conflit en Iran, en provoquant une flambée des prix de l'énergie, menace de jeter plus de 30 millions de personnes dans la pauvreté à travers le monde, a souligné mercredi 29 avril l'administrateur du Programme des Nations unies pour le développement (PNUD), Alexander De Croo.
« Nous avons fait une étude après six semaines de guerre et notre estimation était que, même si la guerre s'arrêtait à ce moment-là, une population de 32 millions sera poussée dans la précarité dans 160 pays », a-t-il fait valoir en marge du G7 développement à Paris. « C'est le développement en marche arrière », a-t-il déploré. « Cela prend des décennies pour construire des sociétés stables, pour développer une économie locale, ça prend une guerre de quelques semaines pour détruire ça ». » | Par Le Figaro avec AFP | mercredi 29 avril 2026

King Charles Agrees with Me on Iran Nuclear Weapon Ban, Claims Trump
THE GUARDIAN: Remarks by US president likely to cause embarrassment for aides of UK monarch, who usually remains neutral
Donald Trump has claimed King Charles agrees with him that Iran should never be allowed nuclear weapons.
Trump made the remarks at a White House state dinner on Tuesday in honour of the visiting Charles and Camilla, after the two men sat down to bilateral talks earlier that day.
As head of state, the king is above party politics and remains neutral. Trump’s comments are likely to cause some embarrassment to royal aides that the king’s views – or, at least, what Trump claims his views to be – have been made public.
The US president said in his speech at the white-tie event on Tuesday evening: “We’re doing a little Middle East work right now … and we’re doing very well. We have militarily defeated that particular opponent, and we’re never going to let that opponent ever, Charles agrees with me even more than I do, we’re never going to let that opponent have a nuclear weapon. » | Guardian staff and agencies | Wednesday, April 29, 2026

President Trump’s signature is set to be added to U.S. dollars. His name has been affixed to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. A plan to mint a 24-karat gold coin with his image is moving forward.
Now there are plans to release a limited-edition U.S. passport bearing the president’s likeness.
The State Department revealed the plans on Tuesday, saying that the new passports would be made available in commemoration of the country’s 250th anniversary this summer. A “limited number of specially designed” passports will be released, according to Tommy Piggott, a spokesman for the State Department. They will be available for any American citizen who applies for one at the Washington Passport Agency when the rollout happens and will continue for as long as inventory lasts, the department said.
Pictures of the proposed design, which Mr. Piggott said will feature “customized artwork and enhanced imagery,” show a serious-looking Mr. Trump above his signature in gold ink.
There will be no additional cost for the Trump-themed passports, the State Department said. It is unclear how many will be produced. » | Taylor Robinson | Tuesday, April 28, 2026

Liebe heute: Wie klappt das? | Twist | ARTE
Apr 28, 2026 | Sehnen wir uns nicht alle heimlich nach ihr? Der großen romantischen Liebe? Gefeiert in Hollywoodfilmen, festgehalten mit Liebesschlössern. Aber passt sie überhaupt noch in unsere Zeit - in der Dating-Apps das perfekte Match versprechen und ein Geschäft mit Sehnsüchten betrieben wird? Wie geht Liebe heute?
"Der große Feind der Liebe ist die Romantik", sagt Alain de Botton. Der Philosoph und Schriftsteller hält Liebesgeschichten à la Romeo und Julia für hochgefährlich. De Botton hat internationale Bestseller und Romane über die Liebe geschrieben und plädiert für eine neue Nüchternheit: Nur wenn wir an uns und unseren Beziehungen arbeiten, die Macken des anderen aushalten und die eigenen, haben wir die Chance auf ein glückliches Liebesleben.
Jeanne Kiviger hat reichlich Erfahrungen mit Dating-Apps gesammelt. Diese haben die französische Comicautorin zu ihrem Band "Love Machine" inspiriert. Darin treibt sie ihre Erlebnisse humorvoll und böse auf die Spitze. Doch die 25-Jährige kann als eher introvertierte Person den Dating-Plattformen auch etwas abgewinnen.
Arlo Parks, britische Sängerin und Dichterin, hat gerade das Album "Ambiguous Desire" herausgebracht, in dem es um Liebe und Begehren geht. Sie gilt als Stimme der Gen Z, ist bekennende Romantikerin. Für sie ist die "face-to-face"-Kontaktaufnahme nicht zuletzt nach Corona essenziell. Liebe ist für sie eine Entscheidung.
Hanna Mattes, Fotografin und Künstlerin aus Berlin, hält es mit "Relationship Anarchy". Sie glaubt nicht daran, dass eine Person alle emotionalen Ansprüche abdecken kann und man romantische Partner automatisch über die Beziehung zu Freunden und Familie stellen muss. Ihr ist auch die Beziehung zu ihren Eltern wichtig: der Schauspielerin Eva Mattes und dem Regisseur Werner Herzog. Das dokumentieren ihre Doppelportraits in dem aktuellen Foto-Band "Love".

Mein queeres Altersheim | ARTE Re:
Apr 29, 2026 | In Europa leben Millionen queere Seniorinnen und Senioren. Ihr Leben lang waren sie mit Vorurteilen und Diskriminierung konfrontiert. Das setzt sich häufig auch im Altersheim fort. Queere Wohnprojekte wie das kürzlich eröffnete "Maison de la Diversité" in Lyon könnten eine Lösung sein.
Der ehemalige Balletttänzer Sylvain Boniface hat das erste Altersheim für queere Menschen in Frankreich mitgegründet: das "Maison de la Diversité", das "Haus der Vielfalt" in Lyon. Er möchte sich in Gesellschaft anderer wohlfühlen, ohne sich alshomosexuell outen zu müssen. Der 65-Jährige ist alleinstehend und hat keine Kinder; auch deswegen hat er sich für einen Lebensabend unter Gleichgesinnten entschieden.
Zur Eröffnung haben die queeren Bewohnerinnen und Bewohner die ganze Nachbarschaft eingeladen. Für die geplante Drag-Show verwandelt sich Sylvain Boniface in sein Alter Ego Bonnie Butterfly.
Doch der Alltag ist nicht ohne Tücken: Trägt eine 60-seitige Charta mit Pflichten und Aufgaben wirklich zu einem friedlichen Miteinander bei? Wie viele Regeln braucht eine Gemeinschaft? Auch das müssen Sylvain und die anderen noch herausfinden.
Vorbild für das "Maison de la Diversité" ist der "Lebensort Vielfalt" in Berlin. Es ist das älteste Wohnprojekt für queere Seniorinnen und Senioren in Europa und wurde vor zehn Jahren gegründet. In den 69 Wohnungen leben nicht nur Ältere, sondern auch queere Familien und Paare. Die Mieten sind sozialverträglich, je nach Einkommen. Auch eine Pflege-WG gibt es. Für das große Spektrum der verschiedenen Identitäten, Sexualitäten und Körper werden die Pflegekräfte speziell geschult.
Annet ist 61 Jahre alt, lesbisch, nicht-binär und lebt seit drei Jahren in einem kleinen Einzelapartment. Regelmäßig veranstaltet Annet für ihre Nachbarschaft das sogenannte "Kuddelmuddel-Frühstück", denn Gemeinschaft entsteht nicht allein durch die Tatsache, dass alle queer sind.
