Hybrid threats force Poland to tighten medicine supply controls as the country aims to wean itself off Asia for essential drugs
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/44047903
Archived[...]
Efforts to diversify domestic manufacturing and supply are ongoing, focusing on supporting Polish pharmaceutical companies and building facilities closer to European markets. However, production decisions regarding active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) or finished products remain commercial, independently made by responsible entities based on business strategies.
A key ministry goal is to reduce Poland’s reliance on external markets, especially on Asian suppliers responsible for most raw materials and APIs. “Uncoupling from Asia is crucial to enhancing Poland’s supply chain stability,” the ministry noted, highlighting its cooperation with the Government Strategic Reserves Agency (RARS), which plays a vital role in crisis management. RARS maintains expert capacity and logistics, proven during COVID-19 vaccine deployment and aid to Ukraine.
Another key area in Poland’s pharmaceutical security strategy is the National List of Critical Medicines. First presented in December 2024, this list has since been updated to include 401 substances deemed crucial for patient safety and the resilience of the healthcare system.
[...]
“True security lies in producing medicines in the EU and Poland,” [president of Medicines for Poland Krzysztof] Kopeć stressed. While acknowledging the ministry’s National List of Critical Medicines, he emphasised that lists alone don’t guarantee security. Reducing dependence on Asia requires cost acceptance by the EU and national governments. European producers need profitable prices to manufacture medicines sustainably.
[...]
[Michał Byliniak, director general of INFARMA, the Employers' Union of Innovative Pharmaceutical Companies] emphasised the need to ensure patients’ needs are met during armed conflict, with timely access to medicine, even before emergency procedures are activated. “We faced such challenges after the Ukraine war began, guaranteeing treatment continuity for patients who suddenly lost access,” he recalled.

China detains dozens of members of underground church as government pressure on Christianity increases
cross-posted from: lemmy.sdf.org/post/44046616
ArchivedThe authorities in China have detained the pastor of one of the country’s most prominent underground churches, along with dozens of other people affiliated with his church, according to the pastor’s family and members of the church, prompting worries about a renewed crackdown on religion.
The pastor, Jin Mingri, who also goes by the name Ezra, founded Beijing Zion Church in 2007. It grew into one of the country’s largest unofficial congregations, with several satellite campuses and over 1,000 people attending its weekend services.
Mr. Jin, 56, was detained on Friday at his home in the city of Beihai in Guangxi Province, according to his daughter, Grace Jin, who lives in the United States. Around the same time, nearly 30 other Zion Church pastors or workers were taken into custody or went missing around the country, including in Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen and other cities, she said.
[...]
In recent months, [...] surveillance on Mr. Jin seemed to have ramped up, Ms. Jin [who is Mr. Jin daughter who lives in the US] said. In September, the government issued new regulations limiting religious activity online to officially registered channels.
Mr. Jin had also suggested to the state security officers monitoring him that he might retire from Zion so that he could join his family, Ms. Jin said. But she said the officers refused to let him leave.
“After this kind of posturing, it seemed like something big was going to happen again,” Ms. Jin said. “We just didn’t know when or to what extent. But I also feel like my dad is always the optimist.”
She added, “He is sort of like, ‘Well I can’t live in fear every day, so I’m just going to continue on with what I need to do.’”[...]
Corey Jackson, the founder of Luke Alliance, a U.S.-based group that advocates for persecuted Christians in China, said that the detentions were “without a doubt” the biggest crackdown on Christianity in China since 2018.

Israel kills seven Palestinians in violation of Gaza ceasefire
Israeli forces killed at least seven Palestinians in the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, in violation of the ceasefire agreement signed last week.
The Israeli military confirmed carrying out the attacks in Shujaiya, claiming it targeted individuals who had crossed agreed-upon army deployment lines after issuing warning shots. It did not comment on the drone strike in Khan Younis.
These attacks constitute a breach of the ceasefire agreement that took effect on Friday, which explicitly stated that “all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment and targeting operations, will be suspended”.

You would think the world would expect this starting with the violations of agreements dating back to 1948 where the rapists, murderers, and thieves violated a ceasefire agreement in Der Yassin, massacring and raping civilians who willingly disarmed themselves for peace. (Currently, if you look at the Wikipedia page, you'll notice a lot of Zionists pushing Zionist sources that deny the nature of the massacre. Lots of these edits starting in 2023)
There's also the infamous 1982 Sabra and Shatila massacre. PLO withdrew and demilitarized the area in a peace agreement. The Israelis, to "not violate" the ceasefire agreement, facilitated their allied rapists, murderers, and thieves to come in to this unprotected refugee camp to rape and murder the refugees.
Honestly, the world expects this, but just doesn't give a shit or they endorse it. May all those that bear a semblence of responsibility for these atrocities rot in hell.
Windows 10 End Of Life - Your Story
As the Windows 10 EOL date is close I was wondering what fellow Linux users thoughts about it are.
Are you helping open minded people making the switch to Linux? If yes, which distro are you using? Are you using resources like endof10.org?
Or are you using the the opportunity to get your hands on some cheap hardware for your homelab? Are you keeping an eye on special websites or just ebay (or your local equivalent)? Are you talking with local companies to get the hardware directly from them?
Or are you just observing and enjoy your peace of mind because you switched already to Linux before?
Whatever it is, we are very interested to hear your stories concering this interesting time.

I have used Linux for a good while around the early 2000’s. Good memories.
Fast forward to now. Bought a new laptop with W11. hated it.
(Just imagine a long list of frustrations about W11, because I’m not going to contribute anything new by saying it)
-and finally, I want my data to be mine!
And so now I get to annoy my wife about how awesome Linux is. My dad is on the train as well. We both annoy our wives with Linux.
Man I use Windows 11 daily for work and I can't stand how fucking buggy and clunky everything is. It's so bad.
Once in a while I'll boot my Linux desktop and it's just.... Bliss. Other than that I spend a lot of time on my steam deck, love that too.

What exactly are Palestinians going to "continue" to do? Be slaughtered, starved, and otherwise eradicated by the colonialists?
Whether you intended it or not, saying "Israel and Palestine will continue" implies that there's anything resembling an equivalence between the actions of the genocidal apartheid regime and those of Palestinians.
Never
Point 9 of the peace deal. means that Gaza will be controlled by Trump and Tony Blair, and will follow the guidelines of "Trump's 2020 peace plan"
amd Article 4 and 5 of the Palestinian statehood guidelines:
4 Take no action, and shall dismiss all pending actions, against the State of Israel, the United States and any of their citizens before the International Criminal Court, the International Court of Justice, and all other tribunals;5 Take no action against any Israeli or United States citizen before Interpol or any non-Israeli or United States (as applicable) legal system;
The only way to stop the genocide was by forcing them on pain of starvation (Article 7&8) to become a colony and are barred from seeking any legal justice.

Why do we still still use phone numbers for communication? It’s a terrible idea. One unifying piece of information that if anyone gets they can use. Bah.
We should have a communication method that both sides consent to before allowing the connection. Either side can kill that connection at any time by revoking permission on either side. The contact info shouldn’t be the same for everyone either, but something ephemeral instead. Unique. A burner phone number that’s different to each person and only useful if the connection originates from the one meant to have that number.

American Journalist Says She Experienced ‘Extreme Brutality’ at Hands of Israeli Guards, Including Beatings and ‘Threats of Rape’
Journalist Noa Avishag Schnall accused Israeli guards of treating her and other prisoners with “extreme brutality” on Monday, including beatings and “threats of rape,” after being taken by Israeli forces from international waters while aboard the Conscience Freedom Flotilla.
In a video statement published to social media, Schnall – a Los Angeles-born photojournalist who had been reporting from the flotilla for Drop Site News – recalled the “extreme brutality” she allegedly experienced during her captivity.
“Any flotilla member who upset the Israeli guards was subjected to twisted and tightened handcuffs and some received beatings,” she said. “I was hung from the metal shackles on my wrists and ankles and beaten in the stomach, back, face, ear, and skull by a group of men and women guards, one of whom sat on my neck and face, blocking my airways.”
The journalist continued, “Many comrades, understandably, do not want their identity made public when recounting this treatment. During the evening, the men were tormented by guards with attack dogs and guns. The women were threatened with pepper spray. Our cell was awoken with threats of rape.”

Secret Israeli military bunker located under Tel Aviv tower struck by Iran, analysis shows [Jack Poulson and Wyatt Reed | October 13, 2025]
cross-posted from: lemmy.world/post/37318212
The Grayzone has geolocated the underground bunker of an important military command and control center nestled within a densely populated Tel Aviv neighborhood. Known as ‘Site 81,’ the U.S.-built facility houses a hyper-secretive intelligence base.When Iran struck a series of targets in the heart of north Tel Aviv with ballistic missiles on June 13, Israeli authorities immediately cordoned off the area to prevent journalists from filming the damage. “The building on this compound was just hit,” Trey Yingst of Fox News reported as he arrived that evening at the site of HaKirya, Israel’s Defense Ministry headquarters, and the nearby Azrieli Center. But within seconds, Israeli police officers arrived to aggressively shunt Yingst away from where he was standing, just north of the HaKirya Bridge on the west side of Menachem Begin Road.
That day, Iranian missiles struck the north tower of the Da Vinci apartment complex roughly 550 meters southwest of Yingst’s location. The Grayzone has determined that the building sits immediately south of the “Canarit” / “Kannarit” Israeli Air Force towers and above an underground military intelligence bunker jointly administered by the US and Israeli militaries. According to an analysis of leaked emails, public documents, and Israeli news reports, the location is host to a highly secretive, electromagnetically shielded intelligence facility known as “Site 81.”
Israel aggressively censors information relating to its urban military and intelligence facilities while simultaneously accusing its adversaries of engaging in ‘human shielding’ – a practice of protecting military targets with civilian populations that is prohibited by international humanitarian law. While the existence of a U.S. Army project to expand Site 81 to a 6,000 square-meter facility was widely reported from government records circa 2013, the specific location remained unknown...

How Israel is laying the groundwork for ethnic cleansing in southern Lebanon
For the early Zionists, settling Palestine meant settling the largest possible territory that vaguely overlapped with their biblical vision of the holy land.
Maps presented by the World Zionist Organization to the Paris Conference clearly show that Zionists sought to include in their territory southern Lebanon, including the Litani River and up to the coastal city of Saida - an estimated 60km from the current border.
Zionists, like all European settlers, were also keen to secure the most fertile land and fresh water sources. Eastern boundaries of the proposed map included large swathes of Syrian and Jordanian territory that fully engulfed Lake Tiberias and the Jordan River. French counter-proposals forced the Zionists to confine their activities after WWI to what is now referred to as historic Palestine.
Initial ambitions to colonise southern Lebanon were shelved but never extinguished. During this latest war, Michael Freund, who previously served as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s deputy communications director, claimed that “historically speaking, southern Lebanon is in fact northern Israel”. He cited the Book of Joshua as mentioning “Sidon explicitly as being promised to the Jewish people”. Freund also listed several shrines in the south as Jewish and evidence of the right to the land.
The invocation of religious sites as justification for colonial conquest is an old and debunked Zionist trope. Freund was not alone in reviving it. One of Israel’s pseudo-archaeologists, Zeev Erlich, was embedded in the Israeli army during the recent invasion of Lebanon. Israeli troops burned and destroyed parts of the shrine. Before withdrawing, they demolished the surrounding historic buildings of the village’s old quarter, the very place they claimed as theirs.

Venezuela’s Opposition Used UN Meeting to Lobby for US Coup
Meanwhile, the Venezuelan opposition, led by former presidential candidate María Corina Machado, the far-right extremist who just won the Nobel Peace Prize, used the UN General Assembly (UNGA) as a lobbying platform, courting the Trump administration and sympathetic foreign governments to support a coup to depose President Nicolás Maduro. She has been part of multiple calls for US interventions in Venezuela, including to, in her words, secure the “total asphyxiation of the Venezuelan economy.”
The opposition organized demonstrations in front of the Secretariat Building to denounce Maduro and call for the world to intervene. Pedro de Mendonça, Press Director for Machado’s campaign, hosted a protest saying, “Maduro is not the legitimate president of Venezuela, but the head of the Cartel of the Suns and the Tren de Aragua.” Mendonça called for “a free Venezuela and a secure West” through an “international coalition.” This is as direct a call for intervention as you could get. Machado retweeted it.

UK arms received by Israel reach record high value in 2025
Last week, FactCheck revealed that Israel imported over £400,000 worth of arms from UK companies in June 2025 – the highest monthly amount since these records began in January 2022.
The exact nature of the items wasn’t specified in the data, but they were listed under a category that includes bombs, grenades, torpedoes, missiles, and ammunition.
And we can now exclusively reveal that September was the second highest value month on record, with over £310,000 worth of UK munitions under this same category arriving in Israel.
...
Israel dismissed the Commission’s report as “distorted and false” and said the expert panel were acting as “Hamas proxies”.
The UK government told us it does not “export bombs or ammunition for IDF use in military operations in Gaza or the West Bank”.

Here in South Australia we are starting to see the effects and it's pretty chilling.
The algae bloom affecting many of our suburban beaches (which is most of Adelaide) and a lot of country ones are seeing huge numbers of dead marine life being washed up.
Anything from leafy sea dragons to fish, stingrays, and sharks. The foam created on some days covers whole sections of beach.
While apparently it's safe, there are warnings that you may experience breathing issues and rashes so your supposed to bring your inhaler and rinse off after you have been in. On windy days it can affect you even if your walking close to the beach.
As we head into summer the damage to local seaford providers (the seafood is fine to consume but people are wary) and cafe owners will be huge and is already starting to take effect.
Because our beaches are so close, people would go down after work for a dip or have a drink at the suburban pubs and cafes.

From the Abstract:
"Our analysis reveals three critical success factors: (1) higher carbon prices per capita are essential for carbon reduction, (2) the necessity of penalties on carbon price per capita from EUR 20–EUR 100, and (3) expanded market coverage maximizes impact. To address global disparities, we propose a Uniform Carbon Pricing Mechanism under the Global Carbon Resilience Framework (GCRF), based on carbon price per capita tiered pricing: EUR 100/t (developed), EUR 30–50 (developing), and EUR 5–15 (least-developed countries). This balanced system supports vulnerable regions while cutting emissions, proving that fair carbon pricing is crucial for climate goals and economic stability."
Those points look sane, to me.

You should always being skeptical when consuming media, but thank you for the reminder.The founder's activities in 1850 have, of course, nothing to do with the current agency stance, though. And a certain "Thomas Reuters" has nothing to do with it. The agency's founder was Paul Reuter. The company has been called Thomson Reuters after Canadian media company Thomson acquired Reuters.
