MEPs pressed the EU Commission on the slow progress of redirecting Russia’s €200bn in frozen assets to Ukraine, amid legal hurdles. One reported plan would see the EU take billions of euros of frozen Russian state cash held in Belgium and send it to Ukraine, while replacing the money with EU-backed bonds.

Held for 72 days at a notorious Ohio jail, the legal about-turn marks a major blow to the Trump administration’s aggressive and often illegal deportation campaign that’s seen hundreds of thousands of people forced out of the US, often without due process.

Soliman’s ordeal began during a regular check-in with immigration officials in Cincinnati on 9 July, when the 51-year-old from Cairo was subjected to an hours-long interview before being detained by an Ice agent and a representative of the FBI.

Soliman was transported to the Butler county jail and held in freezing conditions for 12 hours in the jail’s waiting room, where he struggled to stay warm wearing just a t-shirt and pants.

“The beds were rusted, and the only toilet was in a room with 13 or 14 other people around. It was traumatizing and dehumanizing,” he recalls.

Things worsened when Soliman was put in isolation – a cell where he was separated from others and denied nearly all rights granted to other detainees – for five days. He says it followed an argument when Soliman’s request for a quiet space to pray was rejected by a correctional officer who then claimed Soliman failed to comply with a lockdown call, something the imam denies.

“There is a multi-purpose room where Christian pastors and Muslim imams come to administer to people, but the officer told me to pray at the gym where people were playing basketball,” he says.

“He grabbed my arms, I asked him to take his hands off me, then he pressed an emergency button and in seconds five or six officers rushed in and they handcuffed me.”

Correctional officers at Butler County Jail have been accused of abusing detainees in the past. In 2020, two men refugees detained by Ice at the jail filed a lawsuit against the jail and an officer, claiming that beatings resulted in serious physical abuse including the loss of teeth.

Apple has called for the European Commission to repeal a swathe of technology legislation, warning that unless it is amended the company could stop shipping some products and services to the 27-country bloc.

The Silicon Valley company hit out in a submission to the commission’s review of the three-year-old anti-monopoly legislation, which is intended to regulate the gatekeeper power of the largest digital companies including search engines, app providers and messaging services.

It said it had already delayed the launch of features such as live translation through AirPods and mirroring iPhone screens on to laptop because of the act’s demands for interoperability with non-Apple products and services.

“The DMA means the list of delayed features in the EU will probably get longer, and our EU users’ experience on Apple products will fall further behind,” it said. Apple added that Brussels was creating unfair competition as the rules were not applied to Samsung, the largest smartphone provider in the EU.

In early July 2025, Zarah Sultana announced that she was leaving the Labour Party and launching a new left formation in partnership with Jeremy Corbyn, naming herself and Corbyn as coleaders. However, Corbyn’s team had not formally agreed to any elements of the rollout, or even to her coleader status, and had no idea that she would make the announcement.

Tensions over decision-making protocols and internal structures simmered throughout the summer. Matters came to a head last week, when Sultana emailed supporters announcing a membership portal. She insisted the move was part of the agreed-upon “road map” for building the party and pointed to more than 20,000 sign-ups within hours. Corbyn’s camp, however, denounced it as premature and unauthorized, urging supporters to cancel any payments. Sultana, for her part, said she had been sidelined by what she called a “sexist boys’ club.”

Instead of pursuing this outward focus, the message from Your Party since its launch has been clear: the public comes second. We, on the Left, have to spend a few months focusing on ourselves, engaging in a long and drawn-out process that makes our own activist base feel better about itself, and then, perhaps, we will take the fight to Keir Starmer and Nigel Farage and the immensely powerful interests conspiring to make life worse for millions of working people across Britain.

This brings us to another glaring absence from the early stages of Your Party: the trade union movement. Socialist ideals of democracy, as we have said, are premised on the mass participation of workers. This is a difficult thing to achieve, no doubt, in an era of retreat for the Left. But the nascent Your Party project stands out from precursors by its distance from the organized workers’ movement. Would it really be too much to expect a historic left split from the Labour Party to have come with a number of affiliated unions? What about a process that involved the many unions — many led by socialists — that are not affiliated with the party? Even if you could argue that it is too early for affiliation, how many prominent trade unionists are associated with Your Party from the start? Unfortunately, these questions seem like an afterthought.

Your Party: A Left for Itself

The farcical spat that has riven Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana’s “Your Party” exposes a Left increasingly focused on itself rather than on the class it aims to mobilize.

Catty-corner from the Freedom Center is the Pearson Building. According to a TPUSA insider, this structure was to be emblazoned with the name of one of Kirk’s largest and most committed backers, the tech mogul Robert Shillman. A pre-eminent funder of right-wing Zionist and anti-Muslim causes across the Atlantic, Shillman’s millions helped transform Kirk from a young age into one of Israel’s most effective gentile assets.

However, as Kirk drifted from the official, Netanyahu-enforced line on Israel in the past year, expressing frustration with onerous demands from Zionist donors and hosting the leading conservative critics of Israel at his TPUSA events, Shillman apparently grew resentful.

A TPUSA insider has told The Grayzone that Shillman recently cancelled plans to erect the plaque bearing his name inside the conservative organization’s office complex. Those who contribute $1 million or more to TPUSA become eligible for an honorary plaque, but Shillman’s donations were said to be considerably higher.

Certo, ogni tanto spunta ancora quello che sale sul piedistallo per fare il discorso da oracolo ✨📢, ma in generale il clima è più leggero e piacevole.

Sì, siamo meno, probabilmente ci stiamo creando la nostra piccola bolla… ma sapete una cosa? Io qui sto meglio di prima. E non ho nessuna voglia di fare paragoni con i social commerciali.

Ormai è quasi una grande famiglia 🤗 dove ci si conosce tutti un po’.
La voglia di interagire? Di conoscere persone nuove? Sempre presente!
Ma a un ritmo finalmente… umano. 🚲🌱

China has pledged for the first time to cut its greenhouse gas emissions in absolute terms, committing to reduce economy-wide net emissions by 7–10% from peak levels by 2035, “striving to do better.” President Xi Jinping announced the target in a video address to a high-level climate summit in New York convened by UN Secretary-General António Guterres during the General Assembly.

[...]

Experts welcomed the structural shift to an absolute cut but judged the ambition insufficient for a 1.5°C pathway. “Anything less than 30% is not aligned with 1.5 degrees,” said Lauri Myllyvirta of the Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA). Greenpeace East Asia’s Yao Zhe said the plan “still falls short,” even for tempered expectations. Belinda Schäpe, a China policy analyst at CREA, framed the pledge as politically cautious and argued China’s clean-energy boom could still deliver reductions of 30% or more by 2035 if current trends hold. In her words, today’s announcement should be viewed as the floor, not the ceiling.

The comments around the under 16 media ban seem to be missing a salient point.

In order to determine if a user is under 16, you need to determine that for every single user .. including you!

This means that your personal data will be harvested in order to determine if you are over 16 or not.
