Why isn’t US media busting the ‘narco-state’ myth?

The United States’ deadly “counter-narcotics mission” off Venezuela’s coast hinges on an unproven drug-smuggling narrative – a familiar pretext for regime change, and one the mainstream media have been quick to echo. Meanwhile, Venezuelans face escalating repression at home.

Israeli violence in the West Bank is spiraling

Violence is out of control in the West Bank – and the few covering it are being assaulted.

In the West Bank, record levels of Israeli settler violence against Palestinians are unfolding with little mainstream coverage. The few journalists who try to report on it often face attacks themselves.

When the violence is covered, the settlers are often framed as fringe actors, despite clear backing from the Israeli state. A de facto annexation is under way in the West Bank, and yet much of the international media continues to look away.

US watchdog led by Trump ally investigates BBC Panorama edit of January 6 speech

 Brendan Carr the head of  The FCC who has previously threatened Americas media with investigations over their news coverage of Donald Trump and was a catalyst in Disney-ABC suspending Jimmy Kimmel from his late night show has been tasked with investigating The BBC over its broadcast of a Panorama  episode that dealt with Trump's involvement with the 6 January 2021 attack on the Capitol.  

(Just to be clear the Panorama programme in question was never broadcast in the U.S. as its geoblocked and BBC's Iplayer isn't available in America.)  

A US media regulator led by a close ally of Donald Trump is examining whether an edition of the BBC’s Panorama broke US regulations in the way it edited one of the president’s speeches.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC), led by Brendan Carr, has written to the BBC’s outgoing director general, Tim Davie, asking whether the programme was ever aired in the US.

Davie and the head of BBC News, Deborah Turness, resigned after complaints about the show by a former independent adviser to the broadcaster. The BBC has since apologised for splicing two clips of a speech Trump made before the Capitol riots in January 2021.

Trump says he will take legal action against BBC, despite its apology

 

US president says he will sue the corporation for ‘anywhere between a billion and $5bn’

Donald Trump has said he still plans to sue the BBC despite receiving the apology he demanded over a misleading edit of one of his speeches.

The row, over an episode of Panorama from last year about the Capitol riot in 2021, led to accusations of bias at the broadcaster and the resignation of two of the most senior executives at the BBC: the director general, Tim Davie; and Deborah Turness, the chief executive of news.

The US president previously said he would take legal action if he did not get an apology but on Friday evening Trump told reporters onboard Air Force One: “We’ll sue them for anywhere between a billion and $5bn, probably sometime next week. We have to do it.”

Panorama is restricted for broadcast in the UK only. Meaning that Donald Trump's reputation in America couldn't possibly have been damaged.  

According to a UK based media solicitor he has little legal recourse in his quest to get a monetary settlement from the BBC.  

Donald Trump is so lacking in self confidence, immature and insecure that's amazing he can even get out of bed.

'I still can't believe I'm alive': Sudanese civilians recount their flight from El Fasher

The Guardian has geolocated eyewitness accounts of the capture of the Sudanese city of El Fasher by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces group and the ethnically-targeted massacres that took place in the immediate aftermath. Journalists are unable to access the area and have limited access to information. Guardian reporter Kaamil Ahmed explains how - when combined with satellite imagery and videos posted by RSF fighters - the testimonies provide us with the clearest picture yet of the horrific events that unfolded

Chinese official threatens to behead Japanese PM over Taiwan row | DW News

China has berated Japan after its leader appeared to suggest Japan might get involved if China launched an invasion of Taiwan. The dispute started last Friday when Japan's new Prime Minister, Sanae Takaichi, said that if China invaded the self-governing island, it could be a quote survival-threatening situation for Japan. In such circumstances, Japan could activate its forces in self-defence. China's foreign ministry described the remarks as egregious. The two have been locked in a heated argument since then. Takaichi has refused to withdraw her comments but said she would be more careful in the future.

It's not just Taiwan that China claims as its own. They also claim to own 90% of the South China Sea though 9 Dash Line map the government released in November of 2009. The sea is bordered by nine other countries which include parts of those countries territories.

Can Donald Trump sue the BBC for $1bn and which party would win?

 US president has said he will bring proceedings if the documentary containing an edited speech from 6 January 2021 is not retracted

Where will Trump sue?

As the Panorama episode was first broadcast on 28 October last year, Trump has missed the boat for filing a defamation claim in London, where it must be brought within a year. However, in Florida the statute of limitations is two years, so he is not timed out, and BBC content is available through BBC.com in the US, where there is also the BBC Select streaming service.

A letter from Trump’s lawyer to the BBC notified them of his intention to bring proceedings in Florida if there is “not a full and fair retraction of the documentary”, an apology and appropriate compensation for the harm caused.

Can Trump sue the BBC in Florida?

According to a UK media solicitor Donald Trump would have difficulty bringing a case against the BBC in America as the Panorama episode in dispute was never broadcast in the America as the BBC's Iplayer isn't available for streaming in the country. 

As in previous legal action brought against other media organizations in America by Donald Trump two things are involved here. Retribution and intimidation. 

Further in the case with the BBC Donald Trump and his allies are trying to rewrite the history of the attempted coup by his supporters on 6 January 2021.

Governments failing to shift to a low-carbon economy will be blamed for famine and conflict abroad, and will face stagnation and rising inflation at home, the UN’s climate chief warned on Monday at the start of the Cop30 climate talks.

Nigeria: Ken Saro-Wiwa's fight against pollution lives on

Philipp Sandner

Thirty years ago, nine environmental activists from the Niger Delta were executed. They have since been honored but the protest against oil pollution continues.

The late Nigerian writer and teacher Ken Saro-Wiwa put the disastrous oil extraction in the Niger Delta on the international agenda and dispelled the notion that oil would bring prosperity to Nigeria. 

"If we had a proper system, they would find that there is not so much oil money around anyway," Saro-Wiwa told DW in November 1993.

France’s ex-president Nicolas Sarkozy granted conditional release after 20 days in jail

Former French president Nicolas Sarkozy on Monday returned home after spending 20 days in prison. Sarkozy was granted conditional release pending his appeals trial, less than three weeks after being handed a five-year prison sentence for conspiring to raise campaign funds from ex-Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.

Nicolas Sarkozy on Monday was freed from prison, a 20-day experience the former president called a “nightmare”, as a judge ordered his release pending an appeal decision over Libyan funding.

Sarkozy was freed from La Sante prison in Paris shortly before 3 pm (1400 GMT) on Monday, a source familiar with the case told AFP.

The 70-year-old former president, who maintains his innocence, departed in a car with tinted windows, escorted by police motorcyclists.

The former conservative leader heightened tensions with the neighbouring country and undermined national security through this manufactured operation, they said.

November 9: A fateful day in the history of Germany

Marcel Fürstenau

From the end of the monarchy to the 1938 pogroms to the fall of the Berlin Wall, November 9 is a significant date on the German calendar.

The date on which the monarchy fell in 1918, Adolf Hitler staged his failed coup attempt in 1923, the Nazis and antisemitic mobs attacked synagogues and Jewish homes and businesses in 1938, and the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, November 9 is known as the "day of destiny" in Germany.

DW surveys some moments that set the course of German history.

Ten years after the Paris attacks, how trauma affects families across generations

As France marks 10 years since the November 13 attacks, a new study is examining how trauma is still rippling through affected families and reshaping the lives of the next generation who were children when the violent attacks tore through Paris. 

It has been 10 years since terrorists carried out a series of coordinated attacks across Paris that killed 130 people and left a nation in shock. But the reverberations of that night continue to shape countless lives, from those who survived the violence, to those who lost loved ones, to the first responders who rushed to help. And among them are the children who have grown up in the shadow of November 13. 

While some children lost parents, others witnessed their own parents’ trauma unfold in the years that followed. For these families, the past 10 years have been a quiet, ongoing effort to adapt to a moment that changed their lives forever. And the place they find themselves in today, whether or not they have been able to reconstruct themselves after that fatal night, is at the heart of a groundbreaking study on trauma led by French researchers.

'A predator in your home': Mothers say chatbots encouraged their sons to kill themselves

Laura KuenssbergPresenter, Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg

Megan Garcia had no idea her teenage son Sewell, a "bright and beautiful boy", had started spending hours and hours obsessively talking to an online character on the Character.ai app in late spring 2023.

"It's like having a predator or a stranger in your home," Ms Garcia tells me in her first UK interview. "And it is much more dangerous because a lot of the times children hide it - so parents don't know."

Within ten months, Sewell, 14, was dead. He had taken his own life.

Brazil knows how to put on a show. From the World Cup and the Olympics to a recent free Lady Gaga concert that drew millions of people to Copacabana Beach, few nations stage global spectacles quite like it.

Why is Australia banning children under 16 from social media – and can they enforce it?

Australia this week added popular forum Reddit and homegrown streaming platform Kick to its list of social media platforms that will be off-limits to children under 16 starting December 10. So just how will this unprecedented social media ban actually work?

This summer, the Australian government is going to extraordinary lengths to make sure the country’s incredibly online teens touch grass.

Starting December 10, social media companies will face fines of up to roughly €28 million for failing to prevent people under 16 from having accounts on their platforms. For now, the ban will apply to Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, Threads, TikTok, X (formerly Twitter) and YouTube.

Inside Ukraine’s start-up weapons industry rising from the ashes

As Europe and the US ponder over what arms to send to help the war against Russia, Ukraine is forging ahead with homegrown missiles and drones made from carbon printers and lawnmower engines. World affairs editor Sam Kiley reports from Kyiv

Naive, self-sabotaging and riddled with Moscow’s agents, Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons and an arms industry that produced a third of the Soviet Union’s supply, trusted the West and the Kremlin to protect it, and was left fighting for its life.

Now, 30 years on, the start-up nation redefining how war is fought has been forced into a bodge-and-make-do world of arms production, fusing old technology with IT know-how to break the bonds its allies tied to make Kyiv fight one-handed.

The latest innovation is a cruise missile with a range of 3,000km, a maximum speed of 900kmph and a payload of over a tonne, which has been used in strikes deep into Russian territory.
