From GERMANY- In Europe public opinion about the war in Ukraine showed only 1 in 10 believing that Ukraine can win the war with Russia and 41 percent want Europe to pressure Ukraine to negotiate with Russia. For the third time the US vetoes a UN security council resolution demanding a ceasefire in Gaza. Recent figures from the committee to protect journalists found that 83 Palestinian journalists have been killed since October 7th- Jody Ginsberg explains that this is the most journalists killed in any war over the past 30 years and that none of those journalists were militants.
From FRANCE- There have been 2 days of hearings in London on a request for an appeal to the extradition of Julian Assange to the US for espionage. There were large demonstrations and Julian's wife Stella, spoke to the crowds about the precedents that will be set allowing the criminalization of the free press. The US veto against the ceasefire in Gaza has left the US isolated for the third time, giving the green light to continue.
From JAPAN- At the Fukushima nuclear plant there have been more serious radioactive leaks to workers and the environment. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu says his is committed to continuing the war until Hamas is completely eliminated leading to more protests by Israeli citizens. Brazilian President Lula da Silva compared Israeli actions to the Nazi regime.
From CUBA- Brazil has said it will not retract Lula da Silva comparing the Israeli attacks to the Holocaust. At the International Court of Justice an American lawyer spoke out against the history of Israel occupying Palestinian territory. An Israeli politician said on television that all Palestinians over the age of 4 should be subject to collective punishment to force them to dislike Hamas. A UN Human Rights official says they have received information that Palestinian women and children have been arbitrarily executed in Gaza. The Irish Foreign Minister says that the veto power in the UN Security Council has no place in the 21st century, as the US has done 3 times to prevent an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.
