Senior EU officials met De Wever and Belgian officials on Wednesday with negotiations running late into the night. They made progress on legal guarantees, but sticking points remain on liquidity provisions and protection for Euroclear assets in Russia and third countries.

From freedom of speech pov, I would like to think that criminal charges for shouting "globalize the Intifada" or "from the river to the sea Palestine will be free" will not survive UK courts.
But I'm not sure that's the case.

UAE “hasbara” appears to have gone into overdrive following the Sydney attack this week. A Middle East Eye video highlights voices from the Emirates recycling Israeli talking points, reframing pro-Palestinian chants as calls for violence, while positioning the “Muslim Brotherhood” as the real threat. One UAE-based speaker says: “When you chant globalize the intifada, you are not chanting freedom, you are chanting bloodshed. You are calling for genocide.” Quote Middle East Eye See new posts Conversation Middle East Eye @MiddleEastEye Influencers and commentators in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have taken to social media to denounce the Bondi Beach terror attacks, referencing the same talking points as many Israeli commentators

⭕️ Yale Lab Warned for 2½ Years About the Coming Massacre in El Fasher — & No One Acted

Nathaniel Raymond, head of the Humanitarian Research Lab at Yale, explains that from the very first weeks of the war, his team was tracking a pattern the negotiators were missing: the RSF was conducting large-scale, targeted killings across West Darfur while the world’s attention stayed fixed on Khartoum. Raymond’s analysts became the first to confirm the public execution of West Darfur governor Khamis, which led to systematic house-to-house killings of Masalit families in El Geneina. Through unpublished ground photos and high-resolution satellite images, his team measured the bodies in mass piles — boys around 1.3m, men around 2.3m — and used those measurements to map the RSF’s killing routes from space. “They were killing so many that the body piles became navigation points for us,” he said. By mid-2023, the lab delivered a clear warning to the U.S. government and the UN Security Council: El Fasher would likely be attacked by late 2023 or early 2024, once the dry season allowed RSF movement. That warning came two and a half years before the October 26 massacre. Nothing changed. Raymond then details what the world ignored: a siege lasting “three and a half times Stalingrad” and “three-quarters the siege of Leningrad.” 18 long months under siege that forced El Fasher into IPC-5 famine (the highest classification of starvation) for 15 whole months. By late 2024, RSF bulldozers had constructed a nine-foot, 37-kilometer wall around the city, sealing the remaining Zaghawa and Fur communities into a kill box. When El Fasher fell, satellite images showed streets filling overnight with bodies collapsing in clear gunshot patterns. The through-line of Raymond’s testimony is that the U.S., the UN, and major powers received years of precise warnings and satellite evidence — and did nothing. His team’s final contact from inside the city came on the Monday after it fell: 1,200 dead in the morning, 10,000 by evening. No one answered the phone the next day. @nattyray11 | @HRL_YaleSPH

It's right that electric vehicle owners pay their fair share of taxes - and our analysis of the new pay-per-mile levy introduced today reveals it will target the wealthiest households the most.
Text: Pay-per-mile tax on electric vehicles will mean wealthiest households pay the most. With bar graph showing it will cost the poorest households much less that the richest.

tbh Polanski seems to have avoided most of the big MMT heffalump traps (allowing that "inflation doesn't go higher" was a misspeak), I'm relatively impressed at whoever's advising him.
