A different view of the KTH campus, from the clock tower. The first experimental TV broadcasts in Sweden were made from here in the 1950s.

Uppgifter: EU kan ompröva partnerskapet med Israel efter granskning
Det kommer nya krav från EU-ledare på att avbryta handelsavtalet med Israel. Detta efter att en ny granskning ”indikerar” att Israel bryter mot avtalet.

Last week, President Trump removed key protections from a marine protected area that's home to coral reefs, whales, sea turtles, and countless fish. My op-ed for @us.theconversation.com explains why that's bad and we should not do that.

Trump is stripping protections from marine protected areas – why that’s a problem for fishing’s future, and for whales, corals and other ocean life
America’s marine protected areas help fish populations thrive. Trump’s plan to open them to industrial fishing may ultimately harm the fishing industry itself.

Sir Winston Churchill wore his air-raid suit during his 1942 White House visit, deviating from the formal dress code.
The air-raid suit, also known as the siren suit, is a one-piece outfit that was designed to be quickly put on and taken off on the way to air-raid shelters.

Worth remembering in these times of misinformation: EU as an organization + individual EU countries has provided more support in total to Ukraine than the USA, see e.g. data at statista.com/statistics/130….

Pretty disturbed by some of the Kremlin framing on the Trump talks being bought by parts of the media worldwide. It’s as if the genesis of the war is entirely forgotten. This isn’t a conflict which needs mediation. It was an unprovoked act of aggression. It could end tomorrow if Putin just withdrew.
