El premio es uno de los grandes símbolos de la historia europea contemporánea. Sajarov, como recordaba en esta crónica del premio de 2009 que encontré el otro día, murió 35 días después de la caída del muro de Berlín. bsky.app/profile/mari...

“Sajarov murió 35 días después de la caída del muro de Berlín”. Esta noticia de su premio que escribí en 2009 recuerda lo poco que ha cambiado Rusia…

👏👏

Zelenskyy on Trump: "I hope that he will change his decisions, because I think it's all mistakes. It will not help us and it will not help the United States. But it's not my choice. And I hope he will change his attitude to Putin ... we can't compare me and Putin. He's the aggressor."

De cuando guardaba los teletipos que escribía en EFE (muy orgullosa de ese MR al final). Mi favorito, allá por julio de 1998. Julio Anguita: “Hay que abandonar el estandarte del comunismo, camaradas”

Y la entrevista que le hice aquel día en Coslada tampoco estuvo mal. “Hay que gobernar para cambiar, no cambiar para gobernar”. “La alternativa de la izquierda”, decía entonces, no pasa por pactar con el PSOE.

“The biggest factor limiting supplies, though, remains the war in Iran. ‘The main issue is still the Strait of Hormuz — that there is not enough diesel coming out of the Strait of Hormuz,’ said Sarah Raffoul, an oil product analyst at Argus Media.” www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/u...

Politicians can change their mindbut none ever travelled so far, so fast as Robert Jenrick. He came into politics claiming to self-identify as a migrant (!) & now speaks of mass depprtations & lethal force. How did we get here? Me @thenewworldmag.bsky.social www.thenewworld.co.uk/sunder-katwa...

Zelenski cree que Ucrania ha perdido el apoyo de EEUU y que Trump no está "en el lado correcto de la historia". El primer ministro británico y Carlos III le han apoyado hoy en Londres. Recordaba a marzo de 2025. Mañana Zelenski estará en Bruselas. www.eldiario.es/1_cf4d30?utm...

The second Monday in October is among the most inconsistently celebrated US holidays. Depending on where you live, it's Columbus Day, Indigenous Peoples Day, something else (like Día del Descubrimiento de Puerto Rico), or just a regular Monday.

pewresearch.orgColumbus Day, Indigenous Peoples Day or just a regular Monday? It depends on where you are30 states and three U.S. territories recognize Columbus Day in some form, but only 20 states and two territories make Columbus Day a paid holiday for state workers.

Zelenskyy: “With all respect to President Trump, it is up to our society, up to our people, to choose one or another leader.”

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Zelenskyy: "If President Trump really wants to have elections, tell Putin give us two months, 60 days of total ceasefire -- 60 days -- and we will organize elections. Of course, we will be ready for any choice of our people."

By allowing Russia sell Diesel US is abandoning minimal common ground w Europe on Ukraine for war w Iran. For Europe Russian threat is its top strategic problem. casting Iran as a West's civilizational enemy going back to Ancient Greece can't overcome this significant break between US and Europe.

Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

The most useful space for debate and information in politics in the UK by far. A big loss.

An announcement. There will be plenty of time to reflect on what we've achieved, and on the fantastic colleagues who have helped us achieve it. But for now, sad news ukandeu.ac.uk/announcement... 1/2
