Afghanistan: Kabul nach der Machtübernahme der Taliban | DW Reporter
Le Liban puni par l’Arabie saoudite
LE FIGARO : Riyad a décidé de couper les ponts avec Beyrouth, au prétexte qu’un ministre libanais avait critiqué son intervention militaire au Yémen, ce qui fragilise un peu plus le gouvernement de Mikati et un pays exsangue.
La stabilisation politique relative du Liban aura été de courte durée. Un peu plus d’un mois après son entrée en fonction, qui a mis fin à treize mois de vacance à la tête de l’exécutif, le gouvernement de Najib Mikati est déjà en crise et fait face à une nouvelle tempête, laquelle ne fait qu’aggraver l’effondrement en cours de ce pays depuis deux ans. Le coup est venu d’Arabie saoudite, qui a annoncé l’arrêt de toutes ses importations en provenance du pays du Cèdre, le rappel de son ambassadeur à Beyrouth, et a donné quarante-huit heures à l’ambassadeur du Liban à Riyad pour quitter le royaume. Bahrein lui a emboîté le pas, puis le Koweit, suivis des Émirats arabes unis, mais Oman et le Qatar sont restés sur la réserve.
Une sanction justifiée officiellement par les propos critiques sur l’intervention saoudienne au Yémen, tenus par le ministre libanais de l’Information, Georges Cordahi, avant la formation du gouvernement, dans une émission de la chaîne qatarie al-Jazeera et reprise il y a quelques jours sur les réseaux sociaux. Cordahi, une vedette qui a fait notamment carrière sur la chaîne saoudienne MBC, avait jugé «absurde» la guerre du Yémen, estimant que les houtistes «se défend(ai)ent» contre des puissances étrangères, à savoir la coalition menée par l’Arabie saoudite. Les houtistes étant soutenus par Téhéran et le Hezbollah, son allié chiite au Liban, la position du ministre a immédiatement déclenché des campagnes partisanes et communautaires, selon les lignes de clivages régionales qui se répercutent directement sur la scène politique libanaise. » | Par Sibylle Rizk | dimanche 31 octobre 2021

France Has 48 Hours to Back Down in Fishing Row, Warns Liz Truss

The UK foreign secretary, Liz Truss, has warned France it has 48 hours to back down on threats made in the row over fishing licences or the UK will begin dispute talks set out in the Brexit deal.
French officials have said they will bar UK fishing boats from some ports and tighten customs checks on lorries entering the country unless more licences are granted for their small boats to fish in Britain’s waters.
Almost 1,700 EU vessels have been licensed to fish in UK waters, equating to 98% of EU applications for fishing licences, the UK government says, but this figure is disputed in Paris.
Truss suggested the French president, Emmanuel Macron, may be making “unreasonable threats” because he has a difficult election looming. » | Jamie Grierson | Monday, November 1, 2021

Brexit, Covid, COP26 and Boris Johnson - What Could Possibly Go Right?
Oct 31, 2021 • In the last week, the Public Accounrs Committee has described the £37 billion budgeted for the Test & Trace programme set up and run by Didi Harding as “eye watering” whilst new cases reported continue the be the second highest in the world, day after day. The government's own Office for Budget Responsibility has estimated that, whilst the cost of the pandemic to the economy will be a reduction in GDP of 2%, the cost of Brexit will be a 4% fall.
COP26 is about to start in Glasgow and, under Boris Johnson's leadership, the opening of a major new oilfield and a new coal mine are being considered and may well be sanctioned after COP26.
We are seeking trade deals with countries on the other side of the world whilst doing everything possible to make trade with our nearest neighbours as difficult as possible.
Rishi Sunak in his budget last week reduced the Airline Passenger Tax for internal UK flights, a move which can only be an incentive for more people to fly rather than take the train. This is another move to raise doubts about our commitment to solving global warming.
In the meantime, Johnson told a group of children in Downing Street that recycling is a 'red herring'. The treatment of sewage by mostly foreign-owned companies has become a major scandal which could have been avoided had the prime minister acted quickly. Images and descriptions of sewage in rivers and the sea have been seen all over the world thanks to social media doing even more damage to our reputation worldwide a few days before COP26.
Finally a fishing dispute with France which could have been resolved quickly and easily has resulted in angering both France and the EU, the very nations we and Johnson will be asking for support at Glasgow this week.

“That Sh*t Gnaws at You in a Weird Sort of Way”
UK and France Blame Each Other over Fishing Row Stalemate
BBC: Boris Johnson and French President Emmanuel Macron remain at loggerheads in the ongoing dispute over permits for fishing boats.
On Sunday, the leaders met to discuss tensions and the UK government said it was "up to France" to step back from threats over port access.
But Mr Macron said the ball was "in Britain's court" and he hoped there would be a positive response on Monday.
Mr Macron added it was not a bilateral issue for the nations but an EU issue.
The row comes ahead of Tuesday, which is the deadline for more licenses to be granted for French fishing boats to operate in British waters.
Otherwise UK fishing boats could be barred from some ports, French officials have warned.
Following the meeting on Sunday, French officials said the pair had agreed to work on a solution in the "next hours and days".
But later, a spokesman for Mr Johnson said no measures had been agreed. » | BBC | Sunday, October 31, 2021
Macron Accuses Australian PM of Lying over Submarine Deal
THE GUARDIAN: French president criticises Scott Morrison and expresses scepticism that Aukus pact will deliver on schedule

Emmanuel Macron has accused the Australian prime minister, Scott Morrison, of lying to him over an abandoned $90bn submarine contract, in a significant escalation of tensions between Paris and Canberra.
The French president levelled the accusation in impromptu comments to Australian journalists on the sidelines of the G20 summit in Rome. He said he had a lot of “respect and friendship” for Australia and Australians, but respect between nations needed to be reciprocated.
“I just say when we have respect, you have to be true and you have to behave in line and consistent with this value,” he said.
When asked whether he thought Morrison had lied to him by not revealing Australia’s secret dialogue with the UK and US over the acquisition of nuclear submarines – a dialogue that ultimately became the Aukus pact – Macron was direct in his response. “I don’t think, I know,” he said. » | Katharine Murphy in Rome | Sunday, October 31, 2021

Colson Whitehead: Wie uns Fiktion befreit | Sternstunde Philosophie | SRF Kultur
Oct 25, 2021 • Er hat die beiden grossen US-Literaturpreise gewonnen, den Pulitzerpreis sogar zweimal: Colson Whitehead ist der amerikanische Schriftsteller der Stunde. Wolfram Eilenberger spricht mit ihm über die Verantwortung, die damit einhergeht, und darüber, wie uns der Ausweg ins Fantastische retten kann.
Colson Whiteheads Aufstieg zum Star der amerikanischen Literatur in den letzten Jahren hätte steiler nicht sein können: Neben dem renommierten National Book Award gewinnt er als erster Autor überhaupt mit zwei aufeinanderfolgenden Büchern den Pulitzerpreis für Belletristik.
n beiden Romanen erweckt er ein Stück amerikanische Unterdrückungsgeschichte zum Leben. In «Underground Railroad» geht es um ein Netzwerk, das Sklavinnen und Sklaven im 18. und 19. Jahrhundert zur Flucht in den Norden verhilft. In «Die Nickel Boys» schreibt Whitehead über den wahren Fall von Missbrauch an schwarzen Teenagern in einer Reformanstalt der 60er-Jahre.
Das Time Magazine widmete ihm daraufhin das Cover und nannte ihn «America’s Storyteller», was im Zuge der Black Lives Matter-Bewegung nicht nur als Geschichtenerzähler einer Generation, sondern einer ganzen historischen Erfahrung verstanden werden kann.
Im Gespräch mit Wolfram Eilenberger spricht Whitehead darüber, wie er mit dieser extremen Rolle umgeht, über die Kunst, anderen etwas vorzumachen, und warum uns erst Fiktionen wahrhaft befreien, wenn die Realität keinen Ausweg mehr bietet.

Massive Cyber Heist Rocks High Society Jeweller Graff: Russian Gang Demand Multi-million Ransom or They'll Release Private Details of Rich and Famous - after Leaking Files on David Beckham, Oprah and Donald Trump
THE MAIL ON SUNDAY: Russian hackers have taken personal details of world leaders, actors and tycoons / Victims believed to include Donald Trump, David Beckham and Sir Philip Green / Thought to be demanding millions in ransom money to stop further releases of sensitive information / Gang named Conti is behind data theft from the exclusive jewellery firm Graff
Hackers have plundered the personal details of world leaders, Hollywood A-listers and billionaire tycoons in a massive 'virtual heist' on exclusive jewellery firm Graff, The Mail on Sunday can reveal.
The cyber criminals have already leaked 69,000 confidential documents on to the so-called 'dark web', including files relating to Donald Trump, Oprah Winfrey, David Beckham and Sir Philip Green.
And they are thought to be demanding tens of millions of pounds in ransom money to stop the release of further sensitive information.
The notorious Russian hacking gang Conti is behind the data theft and claims the information published, involving about 11,000 of Graff's well-heeled clients, represents just one per cent of the files it stole.
Documents including client lists, invoices, receipts and credit notes have been taken, and could prove embarrassing for customers who may, for example, have bought gifts for secret lovers or taken jewellery as bribes.
'Given the profile of the customer database, this is absolutely massive,' said Philip Ingram, a former colonel in British military intelligence. » | Kevin O’Sullivan and Georgia Edkins and Michael Powell for The Mail on Sunday | Saturday, October 30, 2021
Brexit Is Harming the UK Economy, Say 44% of Voters
THE OBSERVER: Poll also shows that more than half believe it is affecting shop prices, as experts forecast it is likely to be twice as costly as Covid
51% of those surveyed think Brexit is adversely affecting the UK’s ability to import goods from the EU.Photograph: Toby Melville/Reuters
Almost twice as many voters now believe Brexit is having a negative effect on the UK economy as think it is benefiting the nation’s finances, according to the latest Opinium poll for the Observer, carried out during budget week.
The survey comes after Richard Hughes, the chairman of the Office for Budget Responsibility, said his organisation calculated that the negative impact on GDP caused by the UK’s exit from the EU was expected to be twice as great as that resulting from the pandemic.
Hughes said Brexit would reduce the UK’s potential GDP by about 4% in the long term, while the pandemic would cut it “by a further 2%”. “In the long term, it is the case that Brexit has a bigger impact than the pandemic,” he said. » | Toby Helm, Political editor | Saturday, October 30, 2021
Of course Brexit is harming the UK economy! And it will go on harming it, too. Brexit was, is, and will remain a BAD idea. We can thank the Conservatives for this half-witted idea. The current Conservative Party isn't fit for the twenty-first century. The clue of the problem with the Conservative Party lies in its name, 'Conservative'. Conservatives are inclined to live in the past, live on past glories.
What this country needs is a business-friendly party which is forward-looking, a party which has a deep-commitment to fairness for ALL, and which is PRO-Europe! I have said it over and over and over again that we Brits ARE Europeans. Our destiny lies in Europe. Being committed to Europe doesn't preclude a close friendship with the US, or Australia or Canada, or anywhere else. It is perfectly possible to be committed to Europe and be friendly with all. These relationships are not mutually exclusive. I stand by my commitment to Europe and the EU – unwaveringly.
The UK should re-enter the European Union and play its full part in the EU's progress and development. Along with our European brothers and sisters—our neighbours—we all need to to work hard to keep Europe whole and free and powerful on the world stage. With the inexorable rise of China, it is more important than ever.
History will not be kind to the characters who worked so hard to bring the UK out of the EU. We all know who they are. Chief among them are Farage (though not a member of the Conservative Party), Hannan, Rees-Mogg, Redwood, and a few others. But there many other fossils in the Conservative Party besides these. They have all played their part in weakening the UK. Ironically, they think they are patriots. In actual fact, they are not. Quite the opposite!
In the name of peace and prosperity, we need to cast these throwbacks aside. The European Union is good for us all on so many levels, not least of which is the maintenance of peace and stability in Europe – a continent which had historically been used to war and conflict.
Brexit has weakened the European Union; and it has weakened the United Kingdom, too. It has caused disharmony in our once proud and united United Kingdom: Brexit has caused unnecessary conflict between regions, families, friends and acquaintances. Only a fool would take the United Kingdom for granted any longer. In fact, there is a distinct possibility of the UK breaking up in the future. If it did so, iy would be a great pity. But if it does happen, we shall be able to blame Boris Johnson and his cohorts in stupidity for the tragedy.

Freddie Mercury – Portrait einer Rocklegende | Kulturplatz | SRF Kultur
Oct 14, 2021 • Vor 30 Jahren starb der charismatische «Queen»-Sänger – und noch immer fasziniert er die Massen. Bis heute bestehen auch enge Bande zur Schweiz. «Kulturplatz» macht sich auf Spurensuche, präsentiert Hits auf Dialekt und zeigt, wie Freddie Mercury die sexuelle Befreiung von Generationen mitprägt.
75 wäre er heuer geworden. Nun jährt sich sein Todestag zum 30. Mal. «Kulturplatz» nimmt dies zum Anlass, an den Schweizer Ort zu reisen, der für Freddie Mercury wiederholt Lebens- und Arbeitsmittelpunkt war: Montreux. Hier kaufte «Queen» ein Tonstudio und nahm mehrere Alben auf, und hier sang der an Aids erkrankte Star seine letzten Lieder ein.
In diesen bewegenden Kosmos taucht Moderatorin Nina Mavis Brunner: Sie besucht Schauplätze aus Mercurys Leben und das Queen-Museum, das einen Nachbau des legendären Tonstudios beinhaltet. Zudem schildert ein enger Freund wenig bekannte Facetten des begnadeten Künstlers: Wie er abseits des Scheinwerferlichts war.
Weiter verrät die Sendung, wie Queen auf Schweizerdeutsch klingt. Eine Hommage an Freddie Mercury startet nämlich in Kürze als Bühnenshow zur Tournee durchs Land – und interpretiert dabei einen der grössten Hits als verklausulierten Coming-Out-Song.
Der charismatische Bandleader, der exzessive Partys feierte, sich aber auch nach Ruhe und Abgeschiedenheit sehnte, bekannte sich offiziell nie zu seiner Homosexualität. Dennoch hat er mit extravaganten Auftritten auf der Bühne oder in Musikvideos zur sexuellen Befreiung von Generationen beigetragen, wie junge Menschen gegenüber «Kulturplatz» bestätigen.
So lässt sich sagen: Eine Ikone inspiriert die Schweiz – nach wie vor.

Suspected Iranian Hack Hits Israeli LGBT Site; Users Fear Leak of Personal Info
THE TIMES OF ISRAEL: Black Shadow hacking group threatens to release data after targeting numerous websites through hack of internet hosting company in Israel

An Israeli LGBT-focused dating service was one of the many websites targeted by a hack on an internet hosting company, worrying users of a potential data leak that could expose those still in the closet.
“Atraf,” a geo-located dating service as well as a nightlife index, is a popular app and website in the Israeli LGBT community, especially in the Tel Aviv area.
Hackers, apparently linked to Iran, said Friday they had broken into the servers of Israeli internet hosting company Cyberserve, bringing down a number of widely used websites.
The Black Shadow group, which Hebrew-language media reports said was Iranian, warned the Israeli company that it was in possession of data that could be leaked. The group has not confirmed that it is backed by Tehran.
“Hello Again! We have news for you,” the hackers wrote in a message circulated on social media Friday evening. “You probably could not connect to many websites today. ‘Cyberserve’ company and their customers [were] hit by us. You may ask what about Data? As always, we have lots of it. If you don’t want your Data leaked by us, contact us soon.” » | TOI Staff | Saturday, October 30, 2021

G20 Summit in Rome Focuses on Climate Change, Coronavirus | DW News
Oct 30, 2021 • The G20 summit is underway in Rome as leaders from the world's major industrialized nations meet.
Outgoing German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, is among the dignitaries who are in the Italian capital for the two-day gathering. Among the topics being discussed is the coronavirus pandemic - with emergency workers invited to join the leaders for a photo. Tackling global warming is also top of the agenda, ahead of the COP26 climate conference which begins on Sunday. Most of those attending the G20 in Rome will travel onward to Glasgow for that key UN climate summit.
It is Biden's first major European trip to meet world leaders as president. The devout Catholic keeps a photograph of Pope Francis on his desk at the White House. He met with his hero face-to-face at the Vatican.
For more than an hour, the two leaders spoke privately about climate change, the pandemic and poverty. The visit is the prequel of two major summits happening this weekend. In Rome, the G20 and in Glasgow the COP26 climate summit. Back home, Biden suffered a setback for his pricy infrastructure plan, which focuses in part on the environment.
But ahead of the G20, young people are pushing for action on the climate.
Getting more jabs in people's arms in rich and poor countries is also a priority at the first face-to-face summit since the pandemic hit. But before Biden joins in on the global cooperation to tackle monumental problems, he first had a very public Mea Culpa with French President Emmanuel Macron.
Biden apologized for the US's botched handling of a submarine deal with Australia, which cut out France. For his part Macron is ready to move forward. Both sides hope the rebuilding of trust will help bring about the change young people are marching for.

Learn from the Test and Trace Debacle. It Shows How the Tories Enrich Their Friends
THE GUARDIAN: Calling the government’s spending wasteful, as Labour has, merely plays into the hands of the right
Just as 19th-century oil barons competed to make their millions from liquid gold, today vast sums are to be made by drilling deep into the British state.’ Photograph: Alberto Pezzali/AP
It’s 33 years since Margaret Thatcher inaugurated the modern rightwing Eurosceptic movement, declaring in Bruges that “we have not successfully rolled back the frontiers of the state in Britain, only to see them reimposed at a European level”. Given the Brexit cause was so inextricably tied with deregulation, tax cuts and a retreat from public spending, there is something of an irony that, less than two years since our withdrawal from the EU, British companies find themselves tied up with red tape at our borders, average taxes have reached their highest levels since the 1950s, and the size of the state has been brought to levels “not seen in normal times” since the early Thatcherite era, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies.

It’s 33 years since Margaret Thatcher inaugurated the modern rightwing Eurosceptic movement, declaring in Bruges that “we have not successfully rolled back the frontiers of the state in Britain, only to see them reimposed at a European level”. Given the Brexit cause was so inextricably tied with deregulation, tax cuts and a retreat from public spending, there is something of an irony that, less than two years since our withdrawal from the EU, British companies find themselves tied up with red tape at our borders, average taxes have reached their highest levels since the 1950s, and the size of the state has been brought to levels “not seen in normal times” since the early Thatcherite era, according to the Institute for Fiscal Studies.

Shocking Practices Exposed in Australia’s Cosmetic Surgery Industry | Four Corners
Oct 25, 2021 • A joint investigation between Four Corners, The Age and Sydney Morning Herald reveals alarming surgical practices at some of Australia’s most popular cosmetic surgery clinics.
Those clinics are owned by dermatologist-turned-cosmetic surgeon, Dr Daniel Lanzer. With millions of followers on social media, he is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeons in the world.
But some patients say that behind the hype, there’s a very different story to be told: one of physical and mental scarring after surgery at Lanzer clinics.
The investigation also reveals how the regulatory system in Australia is failing to protect patients from the devastating consequences of cosmetic surgery gone wrong – all while the industry continues to flourish.
Viewer discretion is strongly advised. This very disturbing report is not suitable for children or for the squeamish. – Mark

Behind a Top Female Name in Spanish Crime Fiction: Three Men
THE NEW YORK TIMES: Carmen Mola, a novelist publishing under a pen name, seemed to shatter a glass ceiling in the world of Spanish books. But when the author’s true identity was revealed while claiming a big prize, it was a shock.

MADRID — In a literary world long crowded with successful men, some held up the popularity of Carmen Mola as an example that times were changing in Spain.
Publishing under a pseudonym, the writer produced a detective trilogy with an eccentric female police inspector as the protagonist, plumbing the underworld for clues to crimes. The public was led to believe Carmen Mola was a married, female professor who lived in Madrid, but knew little else.
The mysteries, both within the plots of the novels and surrounding the author’s identity, were a recipe for success, selling hundreds of thousands of books in the Spanish-speaking world. But the greatest surprise of all came this month during a ceremony attended by the Spanish king where Carmen Mola was awarded the Planeta Prize, a literary award worth more than a million dollars.

Post-Brexit-Streit mit Paris um Fischereirechte spitzt sich zu
NEUE ZÜRCHER ZEITUNG: Frankreich hat zwei britische Fischerboote gestoppt, die ohne Genehmigung in französischen Gewässern gefischt haben. London bestellt daraufhin die französische Botschafterin ein. Doch Paris droht bereits mit einer weiteren Eskalation.

Aus der Ferne betrachtet geht es nur um ein paar Lizenzen mehr oder weniger für die Fischkutter aus der EU, die in britischen Gewässern im Ärmelkanal auf Fang gehen. Was im Kontext der Brexit-Verhandlungen eigentlich bloss kleine Fische sein sollten, hat sich jedoch zu einem wichtigen Streitpunkt entwickelt.

THE GUARDIAN: Duke of York says Virginia Giuffre, who accused him of forcing her to have sex when she was 17, failed to state claim warranting relief
Prince Andrew has asked a US judge to dismiss Virginia Giuffre’s civil lawsuit accusing him of sexually abusing her when she was 17.
In a filing with the US district court in Manhattan on Friday, the Duke of York said the case should be dismissed because Giuffre failed to state a claim warranting relief.
He also said that if dismissal were not granted, Giuffre should provide a “more definitive statement” of her allegations.
Lawyers for Giuffre did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Giuffre, 38, who is one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent accusers, sued Andrew for unspecified damages in August.
She accused him of forcing her to have sex when she was underage at the London home of Ghislaine Maxwell, a longtime associate of Epstein, the late financier and registered sex offender, more than two decades ago.
Giuffre also accused Andrew of abusing her at Epstein’s mansion in Manhattan, and on one of Epstein’s private islands in the US Virgin Islands.
Andrew, 61, a former friend of Epstein, has not been charged with crimes, and has “categorically” denied Giuffre’s claims. » | Reuters | Friday, October 29, 2021

First Group of LGBT+ Afghans Fleeing Taliban Arrive in the UK

A group of LGBT+ Afghans has arrived in Britain, the first since the Taliban’s return to power in August caused panic among gay and transgender Afghans, who feared persecution and even death under the Islamists’ rule.
The evacuation of the 29 Afghans is “hoped to be the first of many” in the coming months, Britain’s foreign ministry said in a statement on Saturday, hours after a Taliban spokesman said LGBT+ rights would not be respected.
Thousands of Afghans including LGBT+ people, women and officials linked to the previous administration rushed to flee the country after the Taliban’s swift return to power on 15 August, but many were unable to board foreign evacuation flights.
“We played a key role getting these people out and will continue to do all we can to help at-risk Afghans leave the country,” British foreign secretary Liz Truss said in a statement, adding Britain would continue to defend “the right of all people to be themselves and love who they want”.
Among the group are students and activists who had repeatedly stood up for equality for the LGBT community in Afghanistan, the Foreign, Common and Development Office (FCDO) said. » | Agencies | Saturday, October 30, 2021

£295,000 Bottle of Wine Stolen from Spanish Restaurant’s Cellar

Two thieves stole 45 bottles of wine, including an extremely rare 215-year-old bottle valued at €350,000 (£295,000), from a collection at an upmarket hotel and restaurant complex in south-west Spain, the owner has said.
The theft took place in the early hours of Wednesday, according to José Polo, one of the owners of Atrio, a complex comprising a hotel and a two-Michelin-starred restaurant with a cellar sheltering more than 40,000 bottles in the city of Cáceres.
“They were professionals, they knew exactly what they were doing” Polo said after deciding to make the robbery public through a letter to customers and friends.
The suspects are a man and woman who spoke English and gave staff the impression of being a refined couple, who checked into the hotel and dined at its restaurant. They asked a hotel front desk clerk to serve them more food and when he went to the kitchen, leaving security camera monitors unattended, the man slipped into the cellar and stole the bottles, Polo said. » | Associated Press in Valbuena | Friday, October 29, 2021

Queen Elizabeth Urged by Doctors to Rest at Least 2 Weeks

LONDON — Queen Elizabeth II has been advised by her doctors to rest for at least the next two weeks, Buckingham Palace said on Friday, deepening the anxieties about her health that began last week when she abruptly canceled a visit to Northern Ireland because of what aides at the palace described as fatigue.
While the palace said the queen would continue to carry out “light, desk-based duties” and could conduct meetings via Zoom, she will not take part in any official events or ceremonies, including the Festival of Remembrance, a gala scheduled for Nov. 13 that honors soldiers and civilians who sacrificed for Britain in wartime.
For the queen, 95, to cancel her participation in an event two weeks in advance attests to the extraordinary precautions her medical team is taking. It also suggests that she has not bounced back from last week’s health issue, even after withdrawing to Windsor Castle and canceling her Northern Ireland visit, as well as one to the United Nations climate conference that opens in Glasgow next week.

Escaping Jehovah's Witnesses: Inside the Dangerous World of a Brutal Religion | Four Corners
Sep 13, 2021 • Former Jehovah's Witnesses are fighting back against a religion that failed them. They know they'll lose their loved ones for doing so.
Few know the extreme nature of the beliefs of the Jehovah's Witnesses, a religious group which boasts eight million followers in multiple nations.
They take a strict interpretation of the Bible and predicted the world would meet its ‘wicked end’ in 1914, 1925 and 1975.
A US-based Governing Body of eight men sits at the pinnacle of the Jehovah’s Witnesses organisation. Witnesses believe these men are anointed as the voice of God on Earth.

Fans Point Out the Obvious as Saudi-owned Newcastle United Back Gay Footballer Josh Cavallo
PINK NEWS: Fans have criticised Newcastle United for not seeing the “hypocrisy” in its support for Josh Cavallo after the club’s takeover by Saudi Arabia.
Earlier this month, Newcastle United Football Club (NUFC) announced it had been taken over by a Saudi Arabia-backed fund, ending billionaire Mike Ashley’s ownership of the club. As a result, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) – chaired by crown prince Mohammed bin Salman – now owns 80 per cent of the club, with the rest divided between RB Sports & Media and PCP Capital Partners.
Saudi Arabia has one of the worst LGBT+ rights records in the world. There has been strong backlash from fans, LGBT+ fan groups and human rights groups over the takeover. » | Maggie Baska | Thursday, October 28, 2021
LGBT-Bewegung in Polens Parlament mit Nazis verglichen
FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG: Vor dem Parlament in Warschau protestierten Menschen, weil Veranstaltungen wie Pride-Umzüge verboten werden könnten. Drinnen redeten Konservative von „Terror“ der LGBT-Bewegung.
Hunderte Menschen haben in Polens Hauptstadt Warschau gegen ein geplantes Verbot von Demonstrationen für Lesben und Schwule protestiert. Vor dem Parlament versammelten sich am Donnerstagabend mindestens 300 Menschen, berichtete die Tageszeitung Gazeta Wyborcz. Viele Teilnehmer schwenkten Regenbogenfahnen. Auf Transparenten stand etwa „Liebe kennt kein Geschlecht“. Am späten Abend beriet das Parlament in erster Lesung über den Gesetzesvorschlag. Vor dem Gebäude waren auch Unterstützer des Entwurfs. Die Polizei trennte beide Seiten.
Konkret soll das Gesetz künftig verbieten, dass Demonstranten etwa die Ehe zwischen Mann und Frau infrage stellen und ihre Ausweitung auf Menschen des gleichen Geschlechts fordern. … Zudem soll dem Entwurf … » | Quelle: dpa | Freitag, 29. Oktober 2021

Ali al-Nimr: Saudi Child Protester Who Faced Death Penalty Released
BBC: Saudi authorities have freed a man who was sentenced to death for protest-related crimes as a child in a case that provoked an international outcry.
Ali al-Nimr was 17 when he was detained in 2012 during anti-government protests by the kingdom's Shia Muslim minority.
In 2014, a court condemned him to death by "crucifixion" - beheading followed by the public display of his body.
The sentence was commuted in February after the king ended the death penalty for some crimes committed by children.
Saudi Arabia is among the world's major executioners. It put to death at least 40 people between January and July - more than during the whole of last year, when it held the presidency of the G20. » | BBC | Thursday, October 28, 2021
Government’s Own Shocking Figures Show Brexit Is Twice as Damaging as a Deadly Pandemic
BoJo, you really should have stuck with your day job of being a wordsmith of lies! At least that way, you wouldn’t have done so much damage to people’s livelihoods.
I know you wanted to be prime minister so badly; but sometimes in life we desire jobs and positions we are ill-suited to, just as you were and are to being prime minister.
Many people bought into your fantasies. But they were taken in and are going to end up being all the poorer for their misplaced optimism and belief in your abilities and suitability for the position you now hold. ‘Sad’ is too mild a word for this catastrophe. Perhaps ‘tragic’ would be a more suitable word.
Further, look at how you are angering our allies and neighbours! France and the French in particular. It is going to take years to repair the damage and loss of trust in the UK after you leave office, which I hope will be very soon. – © Mark

Brexit: Paris prêt au «combat» pour ses pêcheurs face à Londres
LE FIGARO : La France a saisi un chalutier britannique et a lancé un avertissement verbal à un deuxième, provoquant la colère du Royaume-Uni.
«Ce n’est pas la guerre, c’est un combat.» Après l’annonce de mesures de rétorsion pour «défendre les droits des pêcheurs français» face aux Britanniques, la ministre de la Mer, Annick Girardin, s’est défendue de vouloir déclencher les hostilités générales. Mais le «combat» s’est durci ce jeudi avec le déroutage d’un navire de pêche britannique. Et les relations franco-britanniques ne cessent de se dégrader.
Après la saisie par la France d’un chalutier et l’avertissement verbal lancé à un deuxième, le gouvernement de Boris Johnson a dénoncé un acte «décevant et disproportionné». Les deux navires, spécialisés dans la coquille Saint-Jacques, ont été contrôlés par la gendarmerie maritime française en baie de Seine. L’un d’eux, le Cornelis Gert Jan, a été dérouté sur Le Havre. Selon Paris, il ne figurait pas sur les listes de licences accordées au Royaume-Uni par la Commission européenne et la France. Londres affirme au contraire que le bateau était en règle. Le propriétaire de ce chalutier écossais a estimé qu’il s’agissait d’un «malentendu» et dénoncé une manœuvre politique. » | Par Arnaud De La Grange | jeudi 28 October 2021

Gay Couple Murdered "In the Name of God" | Crime Documentary | Real Stories
Nov 13, 2018 • A morally complex post-colonial tragedy, the story of a murder and of Fiji, a small country divided along ethnic and class lines, told through the eyes of two very different families.
Director of the Fiji Red Cross John Scott and his partner of 20 years, Greg Scrivener were brutally murdered in the name of God by a young indigenous man, Apete Kaisau. John had reached international notice during the coup of 2000 when he assisted hostages seized by coup leader George Speight. He was also from one of the most powerful European Fijian families. The documentary explores a "Pacific paradise" fraught by its colonial history, ethnic and tribal tensions, class differences and political coups.

„Es ist kein Krieg, aber ein Kampf“
FRANKFURTER ALLGEMEINE ZEITUNG: Frankreich hat einen britischen Fischkutter in Le Havre festgesetzt, weil er keine gültige Lizenz hatte. London verstehe nur die Sprache der Härte. Die britische Seite kündigt Vergeltungsmaßnahmen an.
Der Streit über Fischereirechte nach dem Brexit hat am Donnerstag zu heftigen Vorwürfen und Drohungen zwischen Frankreich und Großbritannien geführt. Zuvor hatte die Regierung in Paris einen britischen Kutter ohne gültige Lizenz in der Hafenstadt Le Havre festgesetzt. Dem Fischer droht eine Geldbuße und die Beschlagnahmung seines Fangguts. Ein zweites Boot wurde verwarnt, weil es ohne Erlaubnis in französischen Gewässern fischte. „Die britische Regierung versteht leider nur die Sprache der Härte“, sagte Europastaatssekretär Clément Beaune im Fernsehsender CNews. Vom 2. November an sollen britische Fischerboote ihren Fang nicht mehr in Frankreich zur Weiterverarbeitung anlanden dürfen. Außerdem werde Frankreich systematisch die Sicherheitsvorkehrungen an britischen Booten überprüfen. Das kündigte Regierungssprecher Gabriel Attal am Mittwochabend an. „Unsere Geduld hat Grenzen“, sagte Attal. „Wir lassen nicht zu, dass Großbritannien den Brexit-Vertrag wie einen Fußabstreifer benutzt“, so der Regierungssprecher. » | Von Michaela Wiegel, Paris und Jochen Buchsteiner, London | Donnerstag, 28.

France’s EU affairs minister, Clément Beaune, has said Paris will “now use the language of force” in an escalation of a row over post-Brexit fishing rights, as French maritime police seized a British trawler found in its territorial waters without a licence.
One vessel had been stopped off Le Havre in the early hours of Thursday morning, after which it was rerouted to the quay and “handed over to the judicial authority”, while a second was given a verbal warning.
In a statement, the French government said the checks during the scallop fishing season had been routine but admitted they were conducted “in the context of the discussion on licences with the United Kingdom and the European Commission”. » | Daniel Boffey in Brussels, Angelique Chrisafis in Paris, Peter Walker and Dan Sabbagh | Thursday, October 28, 2021

Budget 2021: IFS Predicts ‘Real Pain’ for Low-income Households
THE GUARDIAN: Thinktank’s verdict on Rishi Sunak’s budget says tax rises and inflation will mean falling living standards for many

Rishi Sunak’s decision to raise taxes on workers amid high levels of inflation will squeeze living standards next year, causing “real pain” for low-income households, the Institute for Fiscal Studies has warned.
Issuing its verdict after the chancellor’s budget on Wednesday, the UK’s leading tax and spending thinktank said a middle earner was likely to be worse off next year as high rates of inflation and tax rises negate weak growth in wages.
It said that while Sunak was promising a new age of optimism, voters might not get much feelgood factor after the chancellor announced £40bn of tax increases this year – the largest increase since 1993.
Paul Johnson, the director of the IFS, said the outlook for living standards jarred with the chancellor’s upbeat tone. “Over the next several years a combination of tax increases and high inflation will mean very slow growth in living standards,” he said. » | Richard Partington, Economics correspondent | Thursday, October 29, 2021

Pêche: la France va dégainer ses mesures de rétorsion contre la Grande-Bretagne
LE FIGARO : La France s'apprête à frapper le commerce transfrontalier dès le 2 novembre.
La France s'apprête à déclencher une guerre commerciale contre la Grande-Bretagne, dans le conflit sur les pêcheurs. Évoquée depuis des semaines, une liste de mesures de rétorsion devait être précisée mercredi soir. Celles-ci ont été présentées mercredi matin aux élus locaux des régions concernées, Hauts-de-France, Normandie et Bretagne. Le porte-parole du gouvernement, Gabriel Attal, en a fait l'annonce à l'issue du Conseil des ministres.
Dès le 2 novembre, « des contrôles douaniers et sanitaires systématiques sur les produits débarqués en France et l'interdiction de débarquement de produits de la mer » seront mis en place, a-t-il déclaré, faute de changement de position britannique d'ici là. Cela signifie que l'ensemble des marchandises importées pourront faire l'objet d'une sorte de zèle des « contrôles sur les camions », susceptible de ralentir considérablement les échanges. Voire un blocus total sur le poisson. » | Par Florentin Collomp | mercredi 27 octobre 2021
