Italy is ramping up support for Ukraine, pulling 400 M113 armored vehicles out of storage and including them in its 11th military aid package. The M113s have been phased out and replaced by Dardo IFVs.

it's ironic that actual wars are only ever fought with obsolete equipment, because we're keeping the up to date equipment in reserve for the wars we will hopefully never fight.

All wars are evil, and we should do everything possible to avoid having to fight them; but the longer a war drags on the more evil it gets. If Europe had poured all its available forces into #Crimea in 2014, the #UkraineInvasion would be a footnote in history with not a shot fired.

Bullies back down.




Nine people killed, four more injured:

Russia attacked a civilian bus in Sumy region with a Lancet drone.

According to local authorities, passengers were evacuating from Bilopillia as it is constantly attacked by Russia.

Russian terror on Ukrainian civilians continues.

I liked 'The Interstellar Song Contest', the episode took a turn that I really didn't expect it to, in a good way. There is an interesting pattern forming in the themes Doctor Who is exploring during Ncuti Gatwa's run. Not that tackling with certain topics is anything new for the show, but it's done from a new, and more current angle, and I'm here for it. Also they weren't kidding about avoiding spoilers about that thing™ that happens, along with the other thing™ that happens too.

The Financial Conduct Authority's Financial Lives survey, makes it clear (if it wasn't clear enough already) that large numbers of people in the UK live a relatively precarious economic existence with few (or no) financial reserves to tide them over periods of difficulty.

When people shout about 'growth' & the UK's economic success, inequality ensures that whatever 'success' the UK *does* enjoy doesn't improve the lives of many... no wonder they are angry!

a better measure of the precariat is how many wage packets are they away from crisis? Savings could be £100, which wouldn’t go far.

A huge proportion are only one wage packet away from crisis .

Yes, an excellent metric of precarity & one I've seen formulated from time to time

The initiative calling for the ban of "conversion therapy" in the European Union has collected enough signatures (around 1 180 000 as I type) 🎉

But you still have till the end of today, May 17, to add your signature and support putting an end to hateful practices that have been described as torture by the United Nations.

Wouldn't that be a suitable thing to do on the International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia?

Israel’s attacks kill 13 in the past two hours as Gaza ‘left to starve and ache’

Trump is working on a plan to relocate 1,000,000 Palestinians to Libya, thus opening the door to the final destruction of Gaza!

‼️ Kremlin spokesperson Peskov said a meeting between Putin and Zelensky could take place, but only if the Russian and Ukrainian delegations first come to specific agreements.

He noted that both sides are currently exchanging proposals for a ceasefire and that negotiations will move forward. Peskov also stated that Moscow has no intention of altering its delegation and confirmed there’s been no communication with the U.S. following the Istanbul talks.




Gaza:

“The most vulnerable – infants, pregnant women, breastfeeding mothers and others needing special diets – are already starving.

The very poorest…are already wasting away as their internal organs suffer irreparable damage.”

[Pictures and videos of toddlers having starved to death are appearing daily on social media, look them up if you wish -ed.]

Ukraine lost $770M on fake arms contracts, according to the Financial Times. Advance payments were sent to foreign intermediaries, but no weapons were delivered—amounting to a major hit to the $6–8B annual defense budget. In 2022, some deals involved 120mm mortars from Sudan via middlemen linked to Russia’s FSB and Wagner. Dozens of such contracts are now under investigation, with several Ukrainian officials fired or charged with corruption.



British officials are dubious that Emmanuel Macron intends to press ahead with French recognition of a Palestinian state next month – the first by a G7 nation – which could also push back the UK government following suit.

The French president indicated last month that Paris might recognise Palestine, joining 148 other countries, but said he wanted to do so at a UN conference in New York in June as part of a wider process.

Lana al-Sharif was just eight years old when Israel’s war on Gaza began.

Nineteen months later, the Palestinian girl is now known in her displacement camp as the “elderly child”.

With grey hair and white patches across her skin, Lana was diagnosed with vitiligo after suffering a severe panic attack triggered by an Israeli air strike on her neighbourhood in January 2024.

Tom Fletcher, the UN’s aid chief, issued a statement again rejecting the US-Israeli plan to seize control of food distribution in Gaza, calling it a “waste of time.”

“To those proposing an alternative modality for aid distribution, let’s not waste time: We already have a plan,” Fletcher said, adding that 160,000 pallets of aid are “ready to move” into Gaza, “now”.

Das Bild zeigt eine Reihe von Karten, die die durchschnittliche Stickoxidkonzentration in Paris von 2007 bis 2024 darstellen. Jede Karte ist mit einem Farbschema versehen, das von Grün (0 Mikrogramm pro Kubikmeter) bis Rot (80 Mikrogramm pro Kubikmeter) reicht, wobei die Farben die Stickoxidkonzentrationen darstellen. Die Karten sind mit dem Jahr gekennzeichnet, in dem sie entstanden sind: 2007, 2010, 2015, 2017, 2020 und 2024.

Die Karten zeigen die Konzentrationen an verschiedenen Orten in Paris, mit besonderem Fokus auf die Eiffeltürme und Notre-Dame. Die Farben auf den Karten weisen auf die Konzentrationen hin, wobei Rot für höhere Werte und Grün für niedrigere Werte steht. Die Karten zeigen, dass die Stickoxidkonzentrationen in den Jahren abgenommen haben, insbesondere in der Stadtmitte, wo die Konzentrationen am höchsten waren.

Die Karten sind mit einer Maßskala versehen, die die Stickoxidkonzentrationen in Mikrogramm pro Kubikmeter angibt. Die Quelle der Daten ist Airparif, und die Karten wurden von Naema Ahmed und Chico Harlan erstellt.

The United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights and the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs have called for the urgent entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza, warning that the situation has become “desperate”.

Meanwhile, seven European nations have demanded that Israel lift its blockade on the Strip and end its ongoing genocide against the Palestinian population.
