War Brings Urgency to Fight for LGBT Rights in Ukraine
THE GUARDIAN: Campaigners hope a new law will show LGBT soldiers that the country they are risking their lives for cares about them

The Ukrainian MP Andrii Kozhemiakin is a wiry, conservative ex-spy who likes to emphasise his Christian faith and large family. He is also an unlikely new recruit in the fight for LGBT rights in Ukraine.
A draft civil union law that would give same-sex partnerships legal status for the first time was introduced this year to Ukraine’s parliament, which is still functioning despite the war.
Kozhemiakin’s committee was the first to debate it and the team behind the legislation were bracing for defeat; they had even prepared a statement. He started with a script they recognised, talking about his Soviet-era KGB training, his religious beliefs and his “personal opinion about LGBT people”.
And then he announced his wholehearted support for the legislation, referencing Vladimir Putin’s homophobic claim that there are no gay Russians.
“Anything that our enemy hates … I will support,” Kozhemiakin said. “If it will never exist in Russia, it should exist and be supported here, to show them and signal to them that we are different. This law is like a smile towards Europe and a middle finger to Russia. So I support it.” » | Emma Graham-Harrison and Artem Mazhulin in Kyiv | Monday, June 5, 2023

John Major’s Brexit Warning before the Brexit Referendum
John Major is one of the last decent Tories. Here, Sir John Major speaks the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth about that rash and ridiculous Brexit. Fie on the clowns that duped the electorate and fie on those same people for dragging this country out of the European Union. – © Mark Alexander

Universal Basic Income of £1,600 a Month to be Trialled in Two Places in England
THE GUARDIAN: Scheme to run for two years and participants will be monitored to see what effect it has on mental and physical health
A universal basic income of £1,600 a month is to be trialled in England for the first time in a pilot programme.
Thirty people will be paid a lump sum without conditions each month for two years and will be observed to understand the effects on their lives.
Two places in England have been selected for the micro pilot scheme: central Jarrow, in north-east England, and East Finchley, in north London.
Will Stronge, the director of research at the thinktank Autonomy, which is backing the plan, said of the £1,600 figure: “This is a substantial amount. Universal basic income usually covers people’s basic needs but we want to see what effect this unconditional lump sum has on people’s mental and physical health, whether they choose to work or not.
“Our society is going to require some form of basic income in the coming years, given the tumult of climate change, tech disruption and industrial transition that lies ahead. This is why building the evidence base and public engagement now is so important, so the ground is well prepared for national implementation.” » | Dahaba Ali Hussen | Sunday, June 4, 2023

Poland: Hundreds of Thousands March against Rightwing Populist Government
THE GUARDIAN: ‘We’re half a million here,’ says Donald Tusk at what he says is biggest political gathering since Poland regained independence

Hundreds of thousands of people have marched through central Warsaw to protest against Poland’s rightwing populist government before a delicately poised election due in the autumn.
The Law and Justice (PiS) party came to power in 2015, since when it has eroded democratic norms, attacked the independent judiciary and launched campaigns against the LGBTQ+ community and reproductive rights.
“We’re half a million here, it’s a record,” said Donald Tusk, the former prime minister who leads the Civil Platform opposition grouping. He said the march on Sunday had been the biggest political gathering since Poland regained independence after the communist period.
There was no official confirmation of the size of the rally, though Warsaw’s city hall also gave a 500,000 estimate, and central streets thronged with crowds of protesters. The city’s metro was overwhelmed as people converged on the centre. Many people waved Polish or EU flags and the mood was defiant but often festive.
“The whole of Poland, the whole of Europe and the whole world sees how strong we are and how we are ready to fight for democracy and freedom again, like we did 30, 40 years ago,” Tusk told the crowds at the start of the rally. » | Shaun Walker in Warsaw | Sunday, June 4, 2023

Deutschland bei Nacht | Doku HD Reupload | ARTE
Jun 4, 2023 | Die Nacht ist vielfältig – von sternenklaren Himmeln auf der Schwäbischen Alb, dem Dunkel der Wälder, dem Glitzern des Wattenmeers und den Lichtglocken über nie schlafenden Metropolen. Die Nacht ist lebendig, von vermeintlicher Ruhe oder Stillstand kaum die Spur. Der Dokumentarfilm ist eine Reise durch Deutschland bei Dunkelheit - inklusive Geheimnissen und Überraschungen.
Eine Reise durch Deutschland und in den Kosmos der Dunkelheit: Auf der Schwäbischen Alb bietet die Dokumentation einen ungetrübten Blick auf Mars, Jupiter und Venus, Sterne und Sternschnuppen. Sie führt in die Allgäuer Alpen, das Wattenmeer, an den Bodensee und viele andere Orte, wo die die Natur in der Nacht Überraschungen bereithält. Und sie stellt Menschen vor, die in der Nacht aktiv sind oder sie erforschen.
So organisiert der Physiklehrer Till Credner für seine Schüler, die Hobbyastronomen sind, auf der Ostalb regelmäßig Meteorcamps, in den Straßen von Berlin ist die Biologin Carolin Weh nachts Waschbären auf der Spur, am Bodensee untersuchen Biologinnen das Bewegungsmuster von Fledermäusen und im Jenaer Forst beobachtet der Chemiker Stefan Schramm balzende Glühwürmchen.
In der Nacht werden aber auch gewaltige Mengen von Fracht bewegt, ob am Frankfurter Flughafen oder am Containerterminal Altenwerder in Hamburg. Die Stahlproduktion kannte seit ihren Anfängen keine Pause; auch heute wird, wie in Bremen, der Stahl rund um die Uhr gekocht. Die nie ruhende menschliche Aktivität führt inzwischen aber auch zu erheblicher Lichtverschmutzung. Auch wirkt die ständige Verfügbarkeit von Licht ungünstig auf unsere innere Uhr, der Biorhythmus von Menschen und Tieren wird aus dem Takt gebracht.
Dokumentarfilm von Ole Gurr (D 2017, 89 Min)
Verfügbar bis zum 30/06/2023

Nina Teicholz: “Wanna Avoid Heart Disease? Eat More Fat”
Reading the science changed Nina Teicholz’s perspective on nutrition. She’s a journalist and author who is known for her work on nutrition and health. As a vegetarian with a food review column, she had to eat red meat—exactly the dishes she stayed away from. However, upon checking with her doctor, she was surprised to find that her cholesterol actually improved. This experience led Nina to read the science behind nutrition. In this conversation, she tells us why saturated fats are not the villain, how easy it is to fall into the trap of believing popular narratives, and through her writing and advocacy, inspires us to question what we know and seek the truth. Nina understands the cost of speaking up against the nutrition industry and she remains committed to sharing the truth. She’s not giving up on that.
Nina Teicholz:
Nina Teicholz, the journalist who wrote The Big Fat Surprise, is the founder of Nutrition Coalition. She believes that there should be a unified movement to educate people and to provide organized advocacy efforts for more people to hear the message.
