Whether buying a chilled coconut at the beach or paying rent, Brazil's free Pix system has become the dominant way of making payments in Latin America's largest economy, with just a smartphone required.

The United States argues that the payment system, launched in 2020 by the central bank, amounts to unfair competition and hurts US credit card companies.

Meanwhile Brazil believes that Washington sees Pix and other such payment systems as a potential threat to the international dominance of the dollar.

Remarks by Earle Courtenay Rattray, Chef de Cabinet, on behalf of António Guterres, United Nations Secretary-General on the Observance of the annual Nelson Mandela International Day.

Marking the Nelson Mandela International Day, Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said that ending poverty and inequality requires re-wiring economies and societies to focus on people.

Rattray said, “Madiba was blessed with a rare kind of double vision. He saw the world both for what it was — and what it could be.”

The Chef de Cabinet continued, “he also recognized that progress is never automatic. Progress is the result of action. It’s up to all of us to come together to make that progress real — and through our actions, our advocacy, and our voice, to defeat poverty and inequality. Not as an act of charity, but as an act of justice.”

Rattray also said, “as we mark Mandela Day, let’s re-commit to the timeless principles that defined his life. Freedom. Justice. Equality. Solidarity. Reconciliation. Compassion. Peace.”
“Let’s carry forward Mandela’s vision of a just, inclusive, equal and peaceful world,” he concluded.

President of the General Assembly Annalena Baerbock said, “Nelson Mandela reminded this Assembly, us, of the same principles that guided the founding of this organization. That peace requires more than the absence of conflict. That requires human dignity, justice and equality for all.”

She said, “as we mark the Nelson Mandela International Day, we honor not only that vision. We acknowledge our own responsibility to carry this work, this spirit, forward, as reflected in this year's theme. It is still in our hands to combat poverty inequality.”

For his part, New York City Mayor's Office official Shaffiou Assoumanou said, “we need government that commit to the tasks of delivering a life of dignity by putting in place policies that make food, housing and care affordable and available to everyone. Policies that demonstrate our commitment to universal human rights, regardless of where people were born, their gender identity or sexual orientation, their nationality or their immigration status.”

Assoumanou highlighted, “our commitment to this Mandela Day is to nourish the brilliance of people who do small acts of courage and care, and to demand the same kind of brilliance from all of us in government and from our institution.”

International Broadcaster Redi Tlhabi also addressed the General Assembly.

She said, “Mandela understood something that remains profoundly relevant today. Peace without justice is not peace at all. It is only a pause -- one that delays the hard work of crafting our shared humanity.”

Tlhabi added that peace without justice is “a fragile truce.”

She also reiterated that the world needs the courage that made Mandela “so deeply inconvenient.” She said, “it needs leaders willing to disturb comfortable injustice before history rewards them for doing so. It needs nations prepared to defend international law, even when it inconveniences powerful allies. It needs institutions that are willing to reform themselves before the world loses faith in them. It needs us to reject forever the seductive argument that the might makes right because it never has and it never will.”

In recognition of the former South African President’s contribution to the culture of peace and freedom, UN General Assembly declared 18 July "Nelson Mandela International Day".

European Commission Executive Vice-President Henna Virkkunen explained why the Rule of Law Report increasingly looks at the single market dimension of rule of law.

Virkkunen said this aspect is important for businesses, investors and industries across Europe.

She stressed that companies must be able to trust public procurement procedures, competition authorities and the independence of decision-making in Member States.

According to Virkkunen, strong justice systems, reliable legal frameworks and anti-corruption safeguards create a better environment for investment and business activity.

She said this is one of the European Union’s major strengths in a changing global environment.

Virkkunen underlined that investors and businesses can trust European systems because rules do not change from day to day and everyone is treated equally before the law.

Her message was clear: rule of law is not only about democracy and institutions — it is also essential for economic confidence, fair competition and Europe’s competitiveness.

European Commissioner Maria Luís Albuquerque said the success of Europe’s banking competitiveness agenda will depend on whether the Commission can clearly convey the urgency of reform.

She said there is already growing awareness across the financial sector that the cost of not moving forward is constantly increasing.

Albuquerque expressed confidence that ongoing discussions, existing proposals and feedback from stakeholders can help create a more positive attitude toward reform.

She stressed that the effort must involve everyone: supervisors, industry, national competent authorities, EU authorities, auditors, compliance officers, bank boards and the Commission itself.

The Commissioner said the Commission must also do its job better by using its powers more effectively, strengthening accountability and improving oversight.

She added that the EU must continue monitoring the system and correcting problems where needed.

Her message was clear: banking competitiveness is a collective goal, and delivering it will require collective responsibility across Europe’s financial system.

Press Conference by Felipe Paullier, the Assistant Secretary-General for Youth Affairs, and Sahira Al Nahari, a Young Leader for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They briefed journalists on mental health and football.

Ahead of the FIFA World Cup men's final, Felipe Paullier announced the convening of One World, One Game, One Goal, a global event with the UN Member States Friends of Football to celebrate football and sports as powerful drivers of youth mental health and well-being.

Talking to reporters in New York, Paullier said young people are “navigating a very complex world with unpredictable change,” where they are “most interconnected than ever, but at the same time, we have very worrying figures about isolation among people in general, and especially adolescents and youth.”

Behind these numbers, he said, “there's actually people, millions of young people, families and communities that are carrying a pain which is often unseen, unspoken and unsupported.”

Paullier said, “we're taking this moment where everyone is looking into football as a connector of humanity, football as something that brings us together, sometimes to celebrate, to talk about something, sometimes to cry when our team is not performing well.”

During the event, he said, “we will launch a one-year campaign, a public advocacy campaign, that it's about elevating youth mental health and well-being onto the world stage, because we believe that we cannot advance any of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) if there is not a generation that feels supported, that feels empowered and resilient.”

Joining Paullier, Sahira Al Nahari, who is a young leader for the SDGs, said, “football has a lot for us to learn from. When we're facing a global crisis, let's zoom into the stadiums. When you look at the stadiums, we learn discipline, resilience and how to recover from profound loss. It prepares us ultimately for the most complex match of all, which is the game of life.”

Al Nahari said, “on the field, absolutely no one wins alone. Players depend on a whole ecosystem. So, you have defenders, you have midfielders, coaches, medics, and fans in the stands all having important roles. And so, when we approached Youth mental health, we required the same exact ecosystem.”

One World, One Game, One Goal is part of the United Nations Youth Office’s flagship initiative on Youth Mental Health and Well-Being, advancing an important shift from fragmented, individual approaches to a holistic ecosystem model.

Friday’s event will bring together young leaders, changemakers, policymakers, UN entities, governments, civil society, private sector partners, athletes, and advocates to celebrate football and sports.

Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa said the path set out by the UN Security Council resolution starts with a ceasefire, moves to recovery and reconstruction, and ends with the reunification of Gaza and the West Bank under the Palestinian state.

Speaking after the Second Palestine Donor Group Ministerial Meeting, Mustafa warned that the process is still at an early stage, even after several months. He said the ceasefire remains fragile, border crossings are barely open, humanitarian assistance is limited, reconstruction has hardly begun, and the security situation remains extremely difficult.

Mustafa said Gaza’s recovery requires support from everyone — countries, institutions, financial organisations, NGOs, the United Nations, the European Union, the United States and the international community.

But he stressed that “not much will happen” without Israeli withdrawal from Palestinian areas. He warned that even if funding is available, reconstruction cannot progress while Gaza remains under siege and access remains restricted.

He compared the current situation with previous recovery efforts after the 2014 war, saying reconstruction then also failed to move forward because of the continuing Israeli siege on Gaza.

The Palestinian Prime Minister urged the world to treat Gaza as an extraordinary emergency, not as business as usual, warning that people are dying every day and being deprived of health care, education, family protection and normal life.

Mustafa also highlighted the resilience of Palestinian institutions, saying more than 40,000 students from Gaza recently took the high school diploma exam, and more than 104,000 Palestinian students have taken the exam over the past three years despite the crisis.

His message was clear: Palestine is doing what it can, but Gaza needs the world to wake up and act far more dramatically than it has so far.

European Commissioner Valdis Dombrovskis warns that global economic fragmentation is becoming a reality — and that businesses must stay engaged as Europe debates how to protect industry without sliding into protectionism.

Speaking in Istanbul during a fireside chat with Sinan Ülgen, Dombrovskis says the EU and Türkiye both face major trade deficits with China, driven in part by Chinese non-market policies and unfair competition.

He says Europe must be ready to defend itself when competition is unfair — but not by closing its markets to everyone. The challenge is to target specific problems without triggering broad economic isolation.

Dombrovskis frames the global imbalance in one striking formula: China needs to consume more, the United States needs to consume less, and Europe needs to invest more.

His message is clear: economic security must be a growth agenda, not a zero-sum game. To reduce global tensions, Europe must invest, China must rebalance, and major economies must cooperate before fragmentation becomes irreversible.

FIFA introduced hydration breaks to help players cope with the heat, but not everyone is on board. Here’s why the pauses have sparked debate at the World Cup.

European Commissioner for International Partnerships Jozef Síkela says the EU believes in free trade, sustainable development and mutually beneficial partnerships.

Speaking in Brazil, Síkela argues that investing in a sustainable future is also an investment in Europe’s own resilience, because global challenges such as climate change, poverty and migration affect everyone.

He stresses that EU investments in Brazil should support more local processing, more refining, more wealth creation and fairer distribution of benefits within local communities.

Síkela says the EU does not want to trap, impose or create dependency. Instead, Europe wants to empower partners by building trusted and reliable cooperation that benefits both sides.

His message is clear: in a more transactional world, the EU is choosing partnership, sustainability and long-term trust as the foundation for shared prosperity.

Pakistan's security forces killed at least 29 militants in ground and air operations along the Afghanistan border, it said on June 29, while the Afghan Taliban said at least 38 civilians were killed in airstrikes. The aerial assault was Pakistan's second on targets in Afghanistan it said belonged to militants, and threatened to exacerbate an intermittent conflict between the former allies, who fought their worst battle in years in February.

"There is no wood available, so we have resorted to buying scrap wood from food aid crates to make soundboards for ouds," he says.

LYRICS:

I’ve abandoned hope,
Looking for something that was real.
I’ll try not to think about it,
I don’t want to feel.
Cuz it’s all just too much to carry.
It’s all much too wrong.
I’ve lived in levity so long.

I'm forever haunted by the choices that I made.
A weight beyond imagining that never seems to fade.
For every scar I've left behind comes back to me in waves.
I run from love, I run away.

Cuz despite it all, I’m fine,
Despite the pain we shared.
I told you stories, told you lies.
I never shoulda dared open the door.
The tears of the past mean nothing anymore.
And you’re not supposed to miss me.

To hell with everyone,
Who ever swore they’d help me,
Don’t you tell me what I want.
Or what I need, cuz I’m the bigger man.
I’m never looking back,
And you won’t see me again.
Cuz you’re not supposed to love me.

Family fell apart, made me feel like I was weak.
So I cut them from my life, my feelings buried far beneath.
No, I do not deserve to be forgiven of my sins.
Shut up and leave me in ruins.

Cuz despite it all, I’m fine,
Despite the pain we shared.
I told you stories, told you lies.
I never shoulda dared open the door.
The tears of the past mean nothing anymore.
And you’re not supposed to miss me.

To hell with everyone,
Who ever swore they’d help me,
Don’t you tell me what I want.
Or what I need, cuz I’m the bigger man.
I’m never looking back,
And you won’t see me again.
Cuz you’re not supposed to love me.

You’re making this so hard.
Won’t let me disappear.
Somehow you see me in the dark.
Too long I lived in fear, now it’s too late.
No I don’t want to go,
But I chose my own fate,
I hate you, but you’ll still miss me.

So thank you everyone,
Whoever tried to help me.
After all that’s said and done,
You held me close, and made me understand.
But I’ll never come back,
And you won’t see me again.
Cuz you’re not supposed to love me.
No!
You’re not supposed to love me.
No!
You’re not supposed to love me.

At the Octopus Energy Tech Summit 2026 in London, European Commissioner Dan Jørgensen joins John Kerry, Matteo Renzi and General Sir Richard Shirreff for a powerful debate on geopolitics, energy security and Europe’s future.

The warning is clear: Europe cannot import energy security — and it cannot outsource its future. From Russian fossil fuels and the Strait of Hormuz to China’s dominance in clean-tech supply chains, the panel argues that energy is no longer just an economic issue. It is security, defence, competitiveness and geopolitical power.

Dan Jørgensen says Europe’s dependence on Russian fossil fuels was a terrible mistake and calls for more renewables, more efficiency and stronger interconnections. Matteo Renzi warns that Europe must stop being a spectator between the U.S. and China and invest in innovation, AI, electrification and industrial strength. John Kerry says the energy transition is about facts, science and consumer power — while Richard Shirreff warns that energy infrastructure must be treated as part of defence strategy.

The final message is urgent: stop buying Russian LNG, build a stronger European grid, and make clean energy the foundation of Europe’s sovereignty.

Fatima Pires presents the ECB’s International Role of the Euro report at the High-Level Panel, warning that global currency power is being reshaped by geopolitical tensions, the Trump administration, the war in the Middle East and rising financial fragmentation.

The message is striking: the euro is gaining ground, but the US dollar still dominates the global system with around 55% of global currency use, compared with about 20% for the euro. Meanwhile, China’s renminbi remains much smaller overall, but is rising fast in trade finance and cross-border payments.

Pires highlights record euro-denominated international debt issuance, the euro’s rise as the leading currency for green and sustainable international bonds, and near-record portfolio inflows into the euro area. She also points to central banks buying gold as protection against geopolitical risk, especially since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

But the warning is clear: this opportunity will not last forever. If Europe wants the euro to become a stronger global currency, it must act faster, build economic resilience, defend legal and institutional credibility, and prove geopolitical strength.

The euro has an opening. The question is whether Europe will seize it.

https://media.ccc.de/v/do-byte-2026-13-when-you-talk-to-chatgpt-is-anyone-there

When you talk to ChatGPT, is anyone there? Almost certainly not, LLMs don't have inner experience, genuine understanding, or a mind behind the words. But this immediately raises a much older and more unsettling question: how do you ever know there's a mind behind anyone's words?

This talk takes a question everyone is asking about AI — is there anyone home inside ChatGPT? — and uses it to crack open one of philosophy's oldest unsolved problems: the problem of other minds.
The answer to the AI question is almost certainly no. LLMs process form without grounding it in the world; they don't understand in any meaningful sense. But once you accept that, you realise the same uncertainty applies to every human you've ever spoken to. You have never been able to verify that another person is genuinely conscious rather than a very sophisticated system producing the right outputs. You just assumed.
The talk draws on philosophy of mind — from Descartes to Chalmers — to explore why we're wired to project minds onto things that don't have them, what the 1966 ELIZA effect already revealed about this, and what it means for how we should think about, build, and interact with AI systems.

For this talk no philosophy background required. Aimed at anyone who builds, uses, or thinks critically about AI.

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen praises the Cypriot Presidency for advancing EU enlargement and securing a major step forward on the next long-term EU budget.

She says candidate countries are being encouraged to deliver reforms — and rewarded through the opening and closing of accession chapters. For some, she says, “the finish line is in sight.”

Von der Leyen also welcomes the agreement of all 27 Member States on the new EU budget architecture, including national and regional partnership plans, the European Competitiveness Fund and the Global Europe Fund. The difficult task now is to bring the figures together into a deal that works for everyone.

Special Representative for Libya Hanna Serwaa Tetteh warned against a “growing wave of misinformation, disinformation, hate speech and incitement” targeting refugees, migrants, humanitarian actors, and UN personnel, and stressed that the UN “is not in the business of resettling migrants” in Libya.

Addressing the Security Council, Tetteh said, “a growing wave of misinformation, disinformation, hate speech and incitement targeting refugees, migrants, humanitarian actors and UN agencies and personnel in Libya, including Libyan nationals.”

She continued, “False and misleading claims – particularly allegations of UN plans to settle migrants or refugees in Libya – have contributed to a climate of hostility, threats, and violence against humanitarian workers and UN personnel, and have already provoked violence against UN premises, underscoring the real dangers posed by disinformation. Migration is a legitimate public concern but must be addressed on the basis of facts, not fear, and through responsible public discourse rather than inflammatory, false and provocative narratives. Let me use this opportunity to state clearly that the UN in Libya is not in the business of resettling migrants into Libya.”

She stressed, “The country’s challenges cannot be addressed through fabrications and scapegoating. They require responsible leadership, unified functioning and effective institutions to restore public trust. Advancing the UNSMIL-facilitated roadmap is therefore not merely a political imperative; it is one viable path to overcoming institutional fragmentation and building a more stable and secure future for all Libyans.”

She also said, “Libya’s economic trajectory continues to pose a significant threat to its stability and the wellbeing of its citizens. Rising prices and the erosion of purchasing power increasingly strain households and impact the provisions of social services across the country.”

She added, “Higher global oil and gas prices have boosted revenues and provided short-term relief, but this should not obscure structural vulnerabilities. Fuel shortages across Greater Tripoli and other cities particularly in the south in late April and May, exposed persisting weaknesses in the management of the subsidy regime. The primary driver of fuel shortages remains entrenched networks smuggling subsidised refined petroleum products out of the country to the disadvantage of the Libyan consumer.”

She stressed that in Tripoli, public mobilisation against migration-related issues intensified this month due to “deliberate misinformation” on various media platforms.

She continued, “On 4 June, hundreds of demonstrators gathered outside the UNHCR and UNSMIL buildings, demonstrating against alleged plans to settle migrants in Libya. At UNHCR, demonstrators blocked access to the premises with earth barriers. At UNSMIL, protesters breached the perimeter, damaged the entrance gates, dumped sand and debris, and threw stones at UN security personnel.”

She also emphasized that “if Libyan political actors and institutions are unable to work together to create the political and security conditions for holding elections and completing the remaining legal and institutional steps within a reasonable timeframe, continued reliance on this process alone will not be sufficient to deliver the Libyan people’s right to have a government of their choice which would have democratic legitimacy.”

Taher M. El-Sonni, Permanent Representative of Libya to the United Nations, stated, “We stress to everyone that Libya will not be a place for the resettlement of immigrants. Libya will never be country for the resettlement of immigrants in any form.”

The post Don’t Let Perfect be the Enemy of Portable appeared first on Center for Democracy and Technology.

Estonian Defence Minister Hanno Pevkur arrived at the NATO Defence Ministers meeting in Brussels on 18 June 2026, calling the talks a key preparation step before the Ankara Summit.

Pevkur welcomed the fact that NATO Allies are increasing defence spending, but said clearly that, from Estonia’s point of view, it is still not enough. He stressed that Estonia is already spending more than 5% of GDP on defence, with additional security-related costs above 1.5%, and urged other Allies to follow the same path.

On Ukraine, Pevkur said Kyiv is making progress on the battlefield and remains in good shape, but warned that support must continue through sanctions, military assistance and longer-term commitments. Estonia will continue supporting Ukraine with at least 0.25% of GDP every year, a policy also highlighted by Estonia’s Ministry of Defence.
Pevkur’s message was direct: Estonia trusts the United States, but Europe must carry more of the burden. Everyone must do more.

Kürzlich versammelten sich einige Bürokrat*innen, um zu versuchen über die Zukunft des Hambi zu entscheiden. Und sie reden davon, hier ein Naturschutzgebiet einzurichten! Offensichtlich haben diese Leute zu viel Zeit in ihren stickigen Büros verbracht und reden jetzt autoritär über Dinge, von denen sie nichts wissen. Habt ihr denn nicht gehört? Der Hambi ist SCHON LÄNGST ein Naturschutzgebiet! Im Jahr 2012 wurde er besetzt, um zu verhindern, dass er durch Europas größte Giftgrube zerstört wird. Die letzten 14 Jahren schützten wir diesen Ort: vor RWE, vor der Forstwirtschaft, vor Jägern – was immer kam. Aber wir sprechen nicht die Sprache des Staates und das wollen wir auch gar nicht. Deshalb tun die Bürokrat*innen gerne so, als wären wir überhaupt nicht da.

Hast du sie sagen hören, sie wollten den Hambi frei von menschlichen Eingriffen? Das ist der Klang von Lügen, die sie dir in dein Gesicht sagen. Macht euch nichts vor: Es geht nicht um die Wahl ob Menschen hier Einfluss haben oder nicht. Es geht nur darum WELCHE Menschen den Einfluss haben. Da könnt ihr entweder die Menschen haben, die hier Jahr und Tag leben, die diesen Ort lieben und respektieren und die weiterhin mit allem, was sie haben, dafür kämpfen ihn zu verteidigen. Oder ihr könnt da eine Gruppe von Bürokrat*innen und Beamt*innen haben, die wenig oder gar nichts über diesen Wald wissen, sondern nur ihre abstrakte Welt aus Statistiken und Lehrbüchern kennen.

Wir werden dem Staat niemals mit der Umsetzung dieses „Naturschutzgebiets“ vertrauen. Werden sie gesunde Bäume fällen, nur weil sie diese als nicht heimisch in dieser Region einstufen? Werden sie Rehe und Wildschweine ausrotten, die hier leben? Werden sie die Schotterwege entfernen, die RWE hier einplanierte und die der Wald bereits zurückerobert? Werden sie für ihren Radweg asphaltierte Straßen und Schneisen durch den Wald bauen? Die Besetzung aufzugeben hieße, uns machtlos zu machen in all diesen und weiteren Fragen.

Wenn der Staat hier den Begriff „Naturschutzgebiet“ verwendet, ist das in Wahrheit nur ein Codewort für zwei Dinge. Zum Einen die Fortführung der Ausbeutung dieses ohnehin schon verwüsteten Waldes. Ausgerechnet als Mittelpunkt eines Ecotourism-Resorts unter der Leitung der Neuland Hambach (die nichts als eine Marionette von RWE ist). Zum Anderen der Versuch, Legitimität für eine weitere Räumung der Waldschützer*innen zu konstruieren. Schließlich haben die Bürokraten GROSSE PLÄNE für diese Region. Rechenzentren, ein Solarpark und ein Yachthafen, ganz zu schweigen von einer Oase mit Seeblick für neokoloniale Tech-Firmen in Morschenich-Alt.

Die aktuellen Verlautbarungen sind eine reine Absichtserklärung (die wieder jede Gelegenheit nutzt die Vorherrschaft von RWE zu sichern), hier bis 2035 ein Naturschutzgebiet einzurichten. Aber welchen Wert hat eine solche Vereinbarung, die von der Institution stammt, die selbst die Gesetze erlässt? Dass Politiker*innen jetzt über die Wiedereinführung der Kernenergie diskutieren, beantwortet diese Frage. Ein Regierungswechsel, ein weiterer militärischer Konflikt oder eine Energiekrise würden schon reichen, damit der vermeintlich sichere Kohleausstieg erneut verschoben oder gänzlich aufgegeben wird. Über riesigen Vorkommen von fossilem Brennstoff gewachsen, wird der Hambi niemals sicher sein solange der Kapitalismus herrscht.

Wir kämpfen hier nicht nur gegen eine Kohlemine. Und auch nicht nur gegen die Yuppifizierung der Region unter dem Vorwand von Ökologie. Wir stehen gegen die autoritäre Weltordnung im Allgemeinen, das heißt auch gegen die Denkweise, ein Wald könne überhaupt „besessen“ werden. Lasst euch nicht täuschen, der Hambi gehöre RWE. Alles, was sie haben, ist ein Stück Papier, auf dem ihr Name mit etwas verbunden ist, über das sie schon lange die Kontrolle verloren haben. Der Wald gehört allen und niemandem. Vergesst das, was sie „öffentliches Eigentum“ nennen – der Hambi steht bereits allen offen, die ihn und seine Bewohner*innen respektieren.

Staat und RWE würden tatsächlich soweit gehen, den Rhein zu entwässern für ihre unsinnigen Pläne für das rheinische Braunkohlerevier. Viel Glück mit eurem giftigen See! Vorher müsstet ihr uns erst einmal loswerden! Und ihr wisst aus Erfahrung, dass wir nicht ohne Kampf zu Boden gehen.

IMMER NOCH WILD, IMMER NOCH FREI!!!
einige Wald-verteidiger*innen

AGAINST THE NATURE RESERVE AND ITS WORLD

Recently a bunch of bureaucrats got together to try and decide the future of the Hambi. And they talk of establishing a nature reserve here! Clearly these people have been spending too much time in their stuffy offices, talking authoritatively of things they don’t know about. Didn’t you hear? The Hambi is ALREADY a nature reserve. In 2012 it was occupied to stop it getting destroyed by Europe’s largest toxic pit. For the last 14 years, we have been protecting the place: from RWE, forestry, hunters, you name it. But we don’t speak the language of the state and we don’t want to. So the bureaucrats like to pretend we’re not even here.

Did you hear them say they want the Hambi free of human interference? That’s the sound of them lying to you. Make no mistake, it isn’t a choice between whether or not humans will be involved here. It is a question of WHICH humans will be involved. Either you can have the humans who have been living here through the seasons, who love and respect it, and continue to fight with everything they have to defend the place. Or else you can have a bunch of officials who know little or nothing of this forest, only of their abstract world of statistics and textbooks.

We will never trust the state to implement their “nature reserve”. Will they cut down healthy trees, on the basis that they are classified as non-native to the region? Will they exterminate the deer and the wild boar who roam here? Will they remove the gravel paths which RWE dumped here, and the forest has since reclaimed? Will they build tarmac roads through the forest for their cycle route? To give up the occupation is to make ourselves powerless on all of these issues and more.

What the state calls a “nature reserve” is a codeword for two things. Firstly, further exploitation of this already ravaged forest by making it the centrepoint of an eco-tourist resort, under the direction of Neuland Hambach (which is anyway a puppet of RWE). Secondly, trying to establish legitimacy for yet another eviction of the forest-defenders. After all, the bureacrats have BIG PLANS for this region. Data centers, a solar park, and a yacht harbour, not to mention a lakeside haven for neocolonial tech firms in Morschenich-Alt.

The recent news amounts to a statement of intent (which takes every opportunity to affirm the supremacy of RWE) to establish a nature reserve here by 2035. But what worth is such an agreement, when issued by the institution which makes the laws? The fact politicians are discussing reinstating nuclear power at the moment answers that question. All it would take is a change in government, or another military conflict or energy crisis, for the supposed coal-exit to be extended again or else completely renounced. Sitting on top of massive reserves of fossil fuels, the Hambi will never be safe for as long as capitalism continues.

We are not only fighting against a coal mine. Nor against the yuppification of the region in the name of ecology. We take issue with the authoritarian world-order generally, including the mentality that a forest can be “owned” in the first place. Don’t be fooled into thinking the Hambi belongs to RWE. All they have to their name is a scrap of paper with their name linked to something they lost control of long ago. The forest belongs to everyone and no one. Forget about what they call “public ownership”, the Hambi is already open to all who respect it and its inhabitants.

The state and RWE will go so far as draining the Rhine to realise their nonsense plans for the region. Good luck with your toxic lake! You will have to get rid of us first. And you know from past experience that we won’t go down without a fight.

STILL WILD, STILL FREE!!!

SECRETARY-GENERAL TRAVEL

The Secretary-General is still in the Dominican Republic, but he is about to leave Santo Domingo on his way back to New York.

Earlier today, he met the President of the Dominican Republic, Luis Abinader. The President and the Secretary-General discussed international and regional developments, including the situation in Haiti.

Mr. Guterres also met with our UN colleagues working in the country.

Yesterday, as you saw, he concluded his visit to Haiti with a press conference. He said that for the first time in many years, Haiti has a chance to turn a corner, but only if the international community assumes its responsibilities.

He appealed to the world to step up, to fund the humanitarian response and progressive recovery and to support the Haitian institutions and the Gang Suppression Force.

The transition is moving, he added. Everyone, the international community and Haiti’s leaders alike, must do their part to turn this momentum into concrete results.

DEPUTY SECRETARY-GENERAL TRAVEL

The Deputy Secretary-General is currently enroute to London, United Kingdom, to participate in the London School of Economics and Political Science’s Global School of Sustainability Forum 2026.

At the Forum, she will engage with global leaders, policymakers, researchers, and representatives from the public and private sectors to discuss pathways for advancing sustainable development in a rapidly changing global context. She is expected to underscore the importance of accelerating climate action, strengthening international cooperation, and advancing solutions that deliver tangible results for people and planet. The Forum will bring together international leaders and stakeholders to explore challenges and opportunities for building a more sustainable future.

While in London, the Deputy Secretary-General will also convene a meeting on maternal health and child survival together with Goals House, bringing together partners and stakeholders to advance renewed action and investment to improve health outcomes for women, children, and communities.

The Deputy Secretary-General is scheduled to return to New York on Sunday, 21 June.

Google DeepMind just dropped a massive paper called From AGI to ASI, and the message is bigger than another AI release. The paper argues that AGI may not be the finish line everyone is waiting for. It may be the moment the real race begins. Once human-level AI can be copied, sped up, connected into agent teams, and used to build better AI, the jump after AGI could matter even more than AGI itself.

This is bigger than another AI paper. Google DeepMind is already talking about what happens after AGI. If human-level AI can be copied, sped up, connected, and used to build better AI, then intelligence itself could become an industrial process.

https://media.ccc.de/v/tdf5-152-the-stars-are-at-your-fingertips

Humans have gazed at the stars since the dawn of civilization, but we've never had an opportunity quite like the one we have today. Johannes Kepler had to travel to Prague (and by some accounts practically steal) to get his hands on the astronomical data he needed to discover the laws of planetary motion. Today, you can download data from the world's most powerful space missions in minutes, from your own home.
Modern astrophysics is a data science, and almost all of the data professional scientists use daily is freely available online, for everyone. There are really only a handful of types to get to grips with: images, light curves, spectra, photometry, gravitational waves, and multi-messenger observations. These come in simple formats, often just tables like a spreadsheet, that you can explore with Excel or a couple of lines of Python. The analysis tools scientists use are open source too.
In this talk I want to convince you that the barrier to entry is much lower than you think. I'll walk you through what kinds of data exist, what you can discover with them, and how to take your first steps, including platforms like Zooniverse, where citizen scientists are already contributing to real discoveries. The universe's data is for you too.

Thousands of people attend an anti-racism rally in the Northern Irish city of Belfast after two days unrest sparked by a video of a stabbing which went viral on social media platforms, showing a man straddling another lying in the street, slashing him with a knife. A Sudanese man appeared in court on 10 May charged with the attempted murder of Stephen Ogilvie, who remains in hospital. Speaking to AFP at the march, one protester says: "I wanted to stand up for our community, just everyone in the community. It's terrible what has happened to that fella who got attacked but at the end of the day... other people of other colour shouldn't be getting blamed."

While the extreme right is on the rise in many countries and climate change is unrolling, a promising future seems to be written: According to Elon Musk, Sam Altman, and some other “tech bros” it is to leave the dying planet to go to space. With the help of something called “A(G)I”.
But what kind of future is the one that is promised? And what is the connection between power cycles of tech company owners and people who's believes can be called fascist? As we moved power through data in the hands of very view, it is important to examine what ideas these view have in their heads.
This talk will explore the roots of today's tech fascism and its love for tech. From the early thoughts and movements in the US and Europe to Futurism and the Holocaust, organised with Hollerith punching cards. It will dive into the its blooming relationship with cybernetics, and take a look in the future the “tech bros” want to lure us in.
This talk will address the often overlooked topic of how and when people get comfy with diving into movements of hate and how to stop a white supremicy future where we will be sorted by machines.
And, in taking a look on past movements opposing authoritarianism and will examine mindsets and possibilities of resistance as well as the possibility of restarting everything. Because we have a planet and loved ones to lose.
Wear your safety cat-ears, buckle up, it will be a wild, but entertaining ride.

The idea of the Super-Human is not a new one, neither is the idea of charismatic „good“ leader nor to sort humans into classes, races, abilities. The idea of a view controlling many by force and ideas that justify their rulership and cruelties is an old one, as is the opposing idea of a free society and humans as equals.
A central aspect is how people involved see the human nature and according to that what society they want to build. And what role is intended for technology.
In the 19th century the beliefs of both the opposing sides dripped into science, as well as individual’s heads, and social movements around the world. While some wanted to form a wold society of equals others wanted to breed a master race that to control everything.

The love of industrial leaders for authoritarianism has played an important role since the beginning in funding and providing access to powerful networks. Industrialists like Henry Ford loved and promoted ideas at least close to fascism. German, Italian, and Austrian counterparts funded Hitler and Mussolini. And it is not that they did it because they did not understand the fascist leader’s yearning – it was because they shared and loved their aims and violence.

In Futurism, one of the often overlooked roots of fascism, and its Manifesto the enemies and societal goals are proclaimed crystal clear: “We will glorify war — the only true hygiene of the world — militarism, patriotism, the destructive gesture of anarchist, the beautiful Ideas which kill, and the scorn of woman.“

After WWII most of the people believing in dominating others by force and eugenics lived on, they and their cronies had slaughtered millions and destroyed whole social movements were opposing them. These people warning us about authoritarian prophets of doom and concentration camps are still missing.

In the post-war time ideas of authoritarianism met a new player: Cybernetics, the believe in a future, where all problems will be solved through technology and we are “All Watched Over by Machines of Loving Grace” (Richard Brautigam, 1967). The ideas split, merged, and melted into new beliefs and quasi-religions. Into something that is called “Cyber-Libertarianism” by David Golumbia or “TESCREAL” by Émile P. Torres and Timnit Gebru.

This talk will address an aspect that is often missing in analyses: What kind of breeding ground is it where ideas of fascism hatches best? And how can we stop iFascism instead of participating in it?

Furthermore, as being sorted by machines is not everyone's secret dream, ways to stop iFascism will be provided.

Because we are more, we care for people in need – and we are the chaos!

https://media.ccc.de/v/tdf5-142-how-to-master-the-disaster-

The world breaks apart, but good news are: Anarchists & activists are better prepared for doomsday than we might think. We are familiar with the absence of command-lines and a lack of resources. In countless campaigns, mobilisations & mass actions, we´ve learned to abandon micromanagement & to trust our fellow activists. We´ve learned to organize and to get everyone a task that fits their capabilities. We will talk about strategies to navigate the chaos and what official disaster response structures can learn from social movements - and furthermore: Why software developers and other nerds might be a catalyst to scale up these strategies.

Both, Berlin and New York were hit by disasters this winter. New York by a blizzard, Berlin by a blackout. the Mayors of both cities were immediately hands on. Kai Wegner, Mayor of Berlin took a tennis racket and developed excuses, when bottlenecks within the pyramidal organised disaster response led to embarrassing failure; Zohran Mamdani, mayor of New York, took a snow shovel himself and invited everyone to join and clear necessary infrastructure from snow, in a grassroots styled and decentralised response. Everyone could get a shovel and everyone would be payed. This and other examples show, how strategies, activists are using to organise social movements, could also work out to master the disaster of any kind. This is not only good for doomsday, but we can deviate strategies how to prevent it. Its not a coincidence that the fire brigade and socialism both are associated with red colour. Let´s not leave the blue lights to the cops, lets grab the chance and the shovels and become disaster responders.

Marilena Raouna, Deputy Minister for European Affairs of Cyprus, defended the Cyprus Presidency’s revised negotiating box for the next Multiannual Financial Framework.

She said the Presidency had listened closely to all EU Member States, including their priorities, sensitivities and red lines, while acting as an honest broker.

Raouna acknowledged that positions in the Council were strong and often opposing. Some Member States pushed for extensive cuts, while others wanted to maintain or even increase the level of the EU budget.

The Cyprus Presidency’s proposal cuts the overall volume by 2%, with reductions across all headings of the budget.

At the same time, Raouna stressed that the modernised architecture of the budget is maintained, including the strong focus on competitiveness.

She said the European Competitiveness Fund remains above 50% of the EU budget, while the excellence criterion is also upheld.

Her message was clear: these are the first figures on the table, and they are a basis for negotiation.

The Cyprus Presidency believes the revised negotiating box offers a budget that remains balanced, ambitious and flexible — even if not everyone is fully satisfied.

Comment question:
Is this 2% EU budget cut a fair compromise — or a bad signal for Europe’s future?

Cyprus Presidency Puts First MFF Figures on the Table with 2% EU Budget Cut! Marilena Raouna, Deputy Minister for European Affairs of Cyprus, announced that the Cyprus Presidency of the Council has delivered a key priority: advancing negotiations on the EU’s next long-term budget, the Multiannual Financial Framework.

She said the Presidency has presented a mature, balanced and revised negotiating box with concrete figures — the first figures in the new MFF negotiations.

Raouna described the process as one of the most difficult tasks of the Cyprus Presidency, with strong and often opposing positions among Member States.

She said the goal was to build a balanced compromise that keeps everyone around the table while allowing the European Union to deliver on strategic priorities: competitiveness, defence, security, long-term investment and repayment of EU debt.

The Cyprus Presidency proposes a moderate 2% cut, presented as a compromise between Member States demanding a more ambitious budget and those calling for significant reductions.

Raouna also stressed that modernisation remains central to the proposal, with a reformed budget architecture, more flexibility and attention to Member States with GNI below 90% of the EU average.

Her message was clear: this is a decisive step towards a timely agreement by the end of 2026 and uninterrupted EU funding from January 2028.

MEP Birgit Sippel strongly rejected comparisons between Hungary’s refusal to follow the EU Migration and Asylum Pact and Spain’s approach to migration regularisation.

Speaking at the European Parliament press conference on the Migration and Asylum Pact, Sippel said that in a democracy, when rules are decided by majority, everyone must follow them.

She said former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán made clear from the beginning that he was not interested in following the pact, which she called unacceptable.

Sippel stressed that Spain’s situation is completely different.

She explained that many people arriving in Spain did not enter irregularly, but came with visas and may later have become overstayers.

She said Member States have the right, during procedures, to decide whether people should be returned or whether they are needed and can be regularised.

Sippel underlined that regularisation means people stay legally and contribute to social systems. It does not automatically mean citizenship, and it does not mean they can freely move across Europe.

Her message was clear: EU rules must be respected by all Member States, and the debate on migration must be based on facts, not false comparisons.

MEP Birgit Sippel said Europe must take security concerns seriously, but warned against treating all migrants as dangerous because of individual criminal cases.

Speaking at the European Parliament press conference on the Migration and Asylum Pact, Sippel said that when an attack happens, it must be addressed as an individual case.

She stressed that Europe should not make collective accusations against entire groups of people. Just as one crime committed by a person from one country does not make all people from that country criminals, the same principle must apply to migrants.

Sippel then explained how the new pact and Eurodac can help improve checks.

Under the new system, everyone arriving irregularly should be screened, and information will be entered into Eurodac. If someone avoids screening and moves to another Member State, checks should still happen when that person is found through random controls or contacts an authority.

She said the system can only succeed if Member States fully implement the rules they themselves agreed.

Her message was clear: the EU Migration Pact must deliver better checks and better cooperation — but it must also respect facts, fairness and fundamental rights.

Despite the Ebola outbreak in Bunia, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, some families were determined to go ahead with their relatives’ weddings.

However, the local authorities and the church imposed certain measures, even though not everyone was happy about it.

EU High Representative Kaja Kallas said the European Union is working with regional partners to support diplomacy, protect freedom of navigation and help reduce tensions in the Middle East.

Speaking after the informal meeting of EU Defence Ministers in Lefkosia, Cyprus, Kallas said ministers discussed what Europe can do to defend freedom of navigation, especially as tensions affect the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important maritime routes.

Kallas said the United States and Iran will ultimately need to reach an understanding, while Europe and regional partners continue to send a clear message: diplomacy must prevail.

She said the immediate goal should be a first phase of agreement or mutual understanding: stop hostilities, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and use that time to negotiate.

Kallas also said the EU has offered nuclear experts for the negotiations, stressing that Europe has experience in trust-building and confidence-building measures that can help bring parties closer to a long-term solution.

Her message was clear: a ceasefire alone is not enough. The region needs long-term peace, and that peace must include the voices of regional actors.

From Cyprus, Kallas sent a direct warning and offer: Europe is ready to help diplomacy succeed — because maritime security, nuclear risks and regional stability affect everyone.

EU High Representative Kaja Kallas delivered a clear message on Ukraine and Russia at the informal meeting of Defence Ministers in Lefkosia, Cyprus: Russia must first agree to a ceasefire and sit down at the negotiation table.

Kallas said the EU sees an escalation in Russian attacks, but also signs of movement inside Russia, where not everyone is happy with the war continuing. Her conclusion was direct: Europe must increase pressure on Moscow while also increasing support for Ukraine.

The message came as EU Defence Ministers discussed further support for Ukraine, maritime security and the European security strategy. After the meeting, Kallas said ministers showed strong unity on supporting Ukraine and putting more pressure on Russia, while her team proposed more than 80 new sanctions listings targeting Russia’s military-industrial complex, human rights violators and propagandists.

Her warning was simple: peace will not come from waiting. It will come from a ceasefire, negotiations, stronger sanctions and more military support for Ukraine.

https://media.ccc.de/v/gpn24-450-pixel-bureaucracy-at-the-scale-of-chaos-or-torturing-286-people-by-pretending-to-be-the-government

This talk could be described as "pixelebbe Wrapped", except that it is at a different time of the year, has better jokes, provides more technical and moral insights and is not personalized. So erm it probably isn't a "pixelebbe Wrapped" at all, but hey, learn how we built and hosted pixelebbe, achieved better uptime than GitHub and spent only a reasonable amount of effort on this shitpost-turned-project (that's what we tell ourselves at night).

In the history of human kind, there is a set of unfortunate innovations that have caused a lot of suffering and destroyed many lives. One might think of the nuclear bomb, or the internet. One could also think of pixelebbe. At least if one were to be untroubled by accusations of exaggeration and over-dramatising.

Well what is pixelebbe? It's a pixel-setting experience designed to frustrate the player using everyones' favorite thing: ✨ excessive bureaucracy ✨. The idea is very simple: we provide a 40x30 canvas, everyone can then tell us to set a specific pixel to a specific colour from our limited colourset, which we then do and so a picture will be created. Just add on top of that large amounts of red tape, such as limited office hours, a dedicated queueing system, having to use an official government form, very strict formality control and stamps.

In this talk, we want to lift the curtains and give a backoffice tour through pixelebbe. We'll talk about the technology abused to build and host pixelebbe, how we made professional software designed to look like it was put together in 2 hours. We'll even leak official secrets and risk going to pixeljail. There'll be time for a Q&A and a rare live-pixel-setting-session. Rumour has it, that even our agency lead might appear on stage, which had been notoriously always-absent during 39c3.

https://media.ccc.de/v/gpn24-659-introducing-pgreflex-an-open-source-convex-alternative-for-postgres

Convex is a TypeScript framework* that makes one promise: "if you change a value in the database, no matter how, it'll update in the frontend automatically."

This is great - imagine writing a comment, and everyone with the page open sees it immideately. If you imagine the normal todo-list example for webdev, you checkmark a task in one tab, and it immediately updates for everyone.

However, despite being open-source, convex is developed by a VC-backed company, and runs on a properitary database - you can only interface with it through their properitary libraries. Simple functions like COUNT aren't supported, and require hacky workarounds. You can't write a simple UPDATE statement. Migrations and schemas are loosely enforced.

All of these restrictions led to me writing pgreflex - a fully free + open-source, community-driven postgres-based alternative. Instead of writing a custom database, pgreflex simply subscribes to postgres' write-ahead-log (WAL) via logical replication - and notifies the app server if something changed. No properitary lock-in, and only a simple, thin library you can use with your existing stack.

* Note: Even for people who can't immediately use pgreflex (not writing TypeScript servers, ...) the underlying tech of "listen to WAL to invalidate queries and propagate changes" is powerful. I promise this talk could be useful if you write rust webapps, too. Or Go webapps. Or python. Or anything, really. It probably could work with mysql, too.

In the talk, we'll cover:

- Why doing what convex allows you do to is *really cool* from a UX perspective
- How does pgreflex work (subscribe to WAL, invalidate)
- Challenges and drawbacks of the approach, incl. complexity, latency, and computational overhead
- How would you use it off-the-shelf in a TypeScript + tRPC + drizzle project
- How other programming languages might implement the same

Maybe: a couple of benchmarks (pgreflex vs. convex on same server), if I manage to finish those before GPN

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen praised Albania during her doorstep at the EU-Western Balkans Summit in Tivat, Montenegro, saying the country is progressing fast on its European path.

Asked about enlargement and new proposals for the Western Balkans, von der Leyen said the European Union has its enlargement process and that this is the path everyone is following.

She described the proposal under discussion as “very interesting” and said leaders would discuss it at the summit and see how different partners react.

But her clearest message was about Albania. Von der Leyen said Albania is doing very well, working hard on reforms and progressing fast.

Her words were direct: Albania is earning its merits.

The message from Tivat was clear: EU enlargement remains merit-based, but countries that deliver reforms must see real progress. For Albania, von der Leyen’s remarks were a strong signal that Brussels recognises its efforts and momentum toward the European Union.

European Parliament President Roberta Metsola arrived at the EU-Western Balkans Summit in Tivat, Montenegro, with a clear and emotional message: now is the time to move from words to action on enlargement.

Metsola said EU enlargement is not charity, but a strategic choice where everyone wins. She argued that a larger European Union means stronger economies, greater political influence and more security for citizens. The European Parliament, she stressed, has always been — and will remain — the biggest advocate for enlargement.

Drawing on her own country’s EU accession experience, Metsola acknowledged the fears, doubts and frustrations that come with the process. But her message was firm: ambition must never be lowered. Instead, Europe must prove the tangible benefits and opportunities that EU membership brings.

She also said this summit feels different from previous EU-Western Balkans summits because there is now real momentum. With Montenegro’s accession treaty drafting underway, Metsola called for political courage and action to show citizens that Europe can move, grow and become stronger together. The Tivat summit reaffirmed the EU membership prospects of the Western Balkans, with Montenegro aiming to become the EU’s 28th member by 2028.

European Commissioner for Health and Animal Welfare Olivér Várhelyi delivered a powerful warning in Riga, Latvia, at the WHO/Europe 12th High-level Meeting of the Small Countries Initiative, titled “From Scarcity to Sustainability: Can Small Nations Lead Workforce Innovation?”

Várhelyi said Europe is at a critical crossroads for the future of its healthcare system. He warned that Europe’s unique health model — based on access to high-quality care for everyone, wherever they live — is under enormous pressure from ageing populations, rising chronic diseases and severe workforce shortages. According to his remarks, the EU is already missing around 1.2 million doctors, nurses and midwives, while health workers are being asked to deliver more with the same or even tighter resources.

The Commissioner called for bold European action: stronger workforce planning, better working conditions, more training, prevention, digitalisation, artificial intelligence, the Biotech Act, the Safe Hearts Plan and reforms to make medicines and medical devices reach patients faster. He also told small countries that they can become Europe’s pilots for healthcare innovation — proving that smaller nations can lead the way from scarcity to sustainability. The European Commission’s daily agenda also confirmed Várhelyi’s participation in the Riga conference on workforce innovation.

This was not just a health policy speech. It was a direct warning that Europe must act now to protect patients, support healthcare workers and build a more resilient health system for the future.

The global economy is fragmenting. And it could lead to a hit of $6 trillion to GDP worldwide.

#Finance is becoming a tool of geopolitical competition - through tariffs, sanctions and restrictions on payments and investment.

The result is a system under pressure.

But the worst outcomes are still avoidable. If governments and businesses act together, the global economy can stay connected and keep working for everyone.

In this video, Matt Strahan, who leads on financial markets and public policy at the World Economic Forum, breaks down the forces driving #fragmentation, the growing economic cost and what governments and businesses can still do to protect the system - and the people who depend on it.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte praised Ukraine’s battlefield success during his joint press conference with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Kyiv, saying Ukraine is increasingly able to hit Russia’s key military capabilities and disrupt Moscow’s war plans.

Rutte said Ukraine has become so successful that Putin could only organise his 9 May parade under special conditions — a symbolic sign, in his words, of how far Ukraine has pushed Russia.

Beyond that remark, Rutte delivered a clear strategic message: Ukraine is not only holding the front line, but also striking the capabilities Russia needs to continue its war.

He said Ukraine is increasingly successful in taking out key Russian capacities, weakening Moscow’s ability to sustain aggression. At the same time, he reminded everyone that the wider security risks — including incidents affecting NATO airspace — all trace back to Russia’s reckless war against Ukraine.

Rutte stressed that this war did not begin in 2022 alone, but with Russia’s aggression against Ukraine in March 2014, followed by the full-scale invasion in February 2022.

His message from Kyiv was direct: NATO understands where the danger comes from. Russia started this war, Russia continues to escalate it, and Ukraine is doing everything possible to defend itself while minimising the impact beyond its borders.

As Rutte stood beside Zelenskyy, the message was powerful: Ukraine is not only resisting — it is changing the dynamics of the war.

The Israeli combat soldier saw his teammates yelling in celebration, congratulating one another. They had just struck a vehicle of Palestinians driving near the Israeli-controlled part of the Gaza Strip, killing everyone inside. The reservist said scenes like this had become common after a fragile ceasefire took effect in October.

Clothing rental services are often marketed as a more sustainable alternative to fast fashion. The subscription-based services allow consumers to rent and return outfits instead of buying new clothes. But fashion and logistics experts say the environmental impact of renting depends heavily on how people use these services.

After the Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons, known as the NPT, failed today (22 May) to agree on a final document, the President of the Conference, Do Hung Viet expressed concerned for the future health of the Treaty, and said he was “disappointed” it was unable to “really seize this critical opportunity to make our world a safer place.”

It was the third failure in a row at a conference reviewing the NPT, considered the cornerstone of global non-proliferation and disarmament.

Talking to reporters Friday evening, after negotiations came to an end, Do said, “a substantive outcome would have strengthened the Treaty and advanced its objectives, but in absence of such an outcome, I am concerned for the future health of the Treaty.”

The Under-Secretary-General and High Representative for Disarmament Affairs Izumi Nakamitsu, for her part said, “we all need to remember that legal commitments or legal obligations under this Treaty, remain. So, we need to make sure that all states, especially nuclear weapon states, really understand it and then maintain their commitment and then really move to implement their commitments.”

As a member of the Secretariat, Nakamitsu said, “we don't criticise member states or states parties in their deliberations,” but going forward, she added, “they need to actually take this third time failure very seriously.”

Explaining the deliberations, Do said, “I can present a text that country A I know will block consensus. I can also present a text that is slightly tweaked but will make a country B block the adoption. And of course, there are other ways as well. So, I had to make the difficult decision not to present that document.”
He lamented that “we will need to wait at least five more years to see if we are able to, you know, reaffirm that commitment or take any further action, to strengthen the regime,” while in the meantime, “we are seeing the modernisation of nuclear arsenals. We are seeing the quantitative increase in some nuclear arsenals as well. So, and then, you know, the level of nuclear rhetorics, the tense international situation, are all extremely worrying of a risk of the use of nuclear weapons. So, I am concerned.”

Asked about the United States and Iran’s dispute over paragraph 15 of the document, Do said, “I cannot really say, that, you know, apart from one paragraph, everything else was agreed, that I don't think is it would be accurate to say.”

He said, “I did try to produce some textual changes to the draft outcome document. You know, it ranges from changing the text to the placement of some of the paragraphs, to be more amenable to both sides. But I think at about 4 p.m., 4:30 p.m. I felt that we were not able to find that consensus.”

Nakamitsu said, “we need to utilise all other available processes. To, to make sure that we will be able to reconstruct, our efforts. And maybe we should be creating, something else.”

She noted that the General Assembly’s First Committee “is able to create mandates. So, we need to actually think about those or available means, and then we will not give up.”

Earlier in the GA, when he realized consensus was not going to be achieved, Do said, “as I said at the start of this conference, my goal was to make everyone equally unhappy. In that I think we can all agree that I had made some progress towards that goal. I have now put forward four versions of the draft outcome document, all of which have been painstakingly revised in line with States Parties wishes. Despite our best efforts, however, it is my understanding that the Conference is not in a position to achieve agreement on its substantive work. Given that this is now apparent, I do not intend to put the document forward for adoption, as the Conference is not in a position to achieve agreement. “

The NPT entered into force in 1970 and was extended indefinitely in 1995. The Treaty is regarded as the cornerstone of the global nuclear non-proliferation regime and an essential foundation for the pursuit of nuclear disarmament. It was designed to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, to further the goals of nuclear disarmament and general and complete disarmament, and to promote cooperation in the peaceful uses of nuclear energy.

Under the Treaty, the nuclear-weapon States are obliged not to transfer possession or control to any recipient nuclear weapons or other nuclear explosive devices, and not in any way to assist, encourage or induce non-nuclear-weapon States to manufacture, acquire, or control over such weapons or devices.

The Treaty guarantees the right of all States parties develop research, production, and use of nuclear energy for peaceful purposes without discrimination and in conformity with their basic non-proliferation obligations.

Conferences to review the operation of the Treaty have been held at five-year intervals since the Treaty went into effect in 1970.

Mark Rutte defended NATO’s internal debates and disagreements, arguing that open discussion among democracies is what ultimately makes the Alliance stronger.

Speaking during meetings in Sweden, Rutte acknowledged that NATO allies frequently argue and negotiate behind closed doors — but stressed that all 32 member states ultimately unite when major security decisions must be made.

“We are democracies, we love to debate,” Rutte said.

The NATO chief contrasted the Alliance with authoritarian systems such as Russia and China, where he said political leaders expect everyone to follow a single line without open disagreement.

Rutte argued that democratic debate creates stronger and more resilient decision-making, while authoritarian systems suppress internal differences despite underlying disagreements within their societies.

He pointed to NATO’s 77-year history as proof that even after intense internal discussions, allies consistently come together in moments of crisis.

His remarks come as NATO faces growing geopolitical pressure linked to the war in Ukraine, rising tensions with Russia, increased competition with China, and debates over Europe’s future defence responsibilities inside the Alliance.

Elon Musk is the world's richest man — but the planned public offering of SpaceX could take his wealth into the trillions. But, as Elena Casas explains, that relies on investors buying into technology that doesn't exist yet.

A top UN humanitarian official said “Protecting civilians requires more than expressions of concern. It requires genuine commitment that translates into concrete action.”

Addressing the Security Council, Edem Wosornu, Director of the Crisis Response Division of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported that one civilian was killed approximately every fourteen minutes in 2025. These are only the deaths the United Nations could document across twenty armed conflicts. We know the real toll is far higher, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in Sudan, in Ukraine, in the occupied Palestinian territory, and beyond.

She said, “These patterns are the result of choices. The choice by parties to conflict to ignore their obligations to protect civilians, and too often, to target them. The choice by some to adopt increasingly permissive interpretations of international humanitarian law, hollowing out the very rules designed to protect civilians during war.”

She also said, “There is another path. Other choices are possible. They must be made. They must be made because protecting civilians, ensuring respect for the law, and ending impunity is not only a legal and moral obligation. It is also in Member States’ shared interest. In a world where conflicts are rising and rearmament is accelerating; unrestrained force and unapologetic brutality do not make anyone safer. They put everyone at risk. Those who believe war will never reach them, their families, or their people are living in a dangerous illusion.”

Lyrics:
0:00 [Verse 1]
And all I am is a man
I want the world in my hands
I hate the beach, but I stand
In California with my toes in the sand
Use the sleeves of my sweater, let's have an adventure
Head in the clouds, but my gravity's centered
Touch my neck and I'll touch yours
You in those little high-waisted shorts, oh

0:38 [Pre-Chorus]
She knows what I think about
And what I think about
One love, two mouths
One love, one house
No shirt, no blouse
Just us, you find out
Nothing that I wouldn't wanna tell you about, no

0:53 [Chorus]
'Cause it's too cold for you here and now
So let me hold both your hands in the holes of my sweater

1:09 [Verse 2]
And if I may just take your breath away
I don't mind if there's not much to say
Sometimes the silence guides a mind
To move to a place so far away
The goosebumps start to raise
The minute that my left hand meets your waist
And then I watch your face
Put my finger on your tongue 'cause you love the taste, yeah
These hearts adore
Everyone the other beats hardest for
Inside, this place is warm
Outside, it starts to pour

1:33 [Pre-Chorus]
Comin' down
One love, two mouths
One love, one house
No shirt, no blouse
Just us, you find out
Nothin' that I wouldn't wanna tell you about
No, no, no

1:47 [Chorus]
'Cause it's too cold for you here and now
So let me hold both your hands in the holes of my sweater
'Cause it's too cold for you here and now
So let me hold both your hands in the holes of my sweater
Woah

2:32 [Bridge]
Woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah
Woah, woah, woah, woah
Woah, woah

3:08 [Chorus]
'Cause it's too cold for you here and now
So let me hold both your hands in the holes of my sweater
'Cause it's too cold for you here and now
Let me hold both your hands in the holes of my sweater


3:41 [Outro]
And it's too cold, it's too cold
The holes of my sweater

Everyone's talking about the Fitbit Air

A vessel tracker shows traffic in the Strait of Hormuz as China's President Xi Jinping and President Donald Trump held talks focused on reopening the key waterway, effectively closed due to the Iran war, and Xi's apparent interest in buying American oil to reduce China's dependence on Middle East supplies.

Everyone on the hantavirus-hit ship is a "high-risk contact" and must be monitored says Dr Maria Van Kerkhove, the WHO’s epidemic and pandemic preparedness and prevention director during a briefing in Geneva. However, "the risk to the general public is low. The risk to the people in the Canary Islands is low," she says.

BEYOND GDP

This afternoon at 3 pm, the Secretary-General’s High-Level Expert Group on Beyond GDP will present their report to Member States, outlining recommendations for a country-owned and universally applicable set of indicators that go beyond GDP to guide policy and decision-making.

The Secretary-General will make remarks at the event and will say that the report being launched today is a landmark step in correcting a longstanding blind spot in measuring progress: The over-reliance on Gross Domestic Product.

He will say that while GDP will continue to be an important measurement, it will not be the only one. Our world needs a more sophisticated, more diverse, and more humane accounting system.

The report, titled “Counting What Counts: A Compass of Progress for People and Planet,” offers the United Nations’ first global framework for moving beyond GDP, proposing a wider set of measures to guide economic policy toward well-being and environmental sustainability.

MIGRATION REVIEW FORUM

This morning, in the General Assembly, the Secretary-General addressed the International Migration Review Forum.

He reminded Member States that migration is an integral part of the human story, an activity as old as humanity itself, adding that migration is not the crisis. The crisis, he said, is the world’s collective failure to manage it together.

Since the adoption of the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration, the Secretary-General said Member States have taken concrete steps to expand regular pathways, to strengthen labour mobility initiatives, to improve search‑and‑rescue, enhance data systems, and support for safe return and reintegration.

HANTAVIRUS

I want to give you an update on the situation regarding the hantavirus, and this from our colleagues in Cabo Verde, where Patricia Portela de Souza, who is the Resident UN Coordinator in that country, together with the World Health Organization Representative there, Dr. Ann Lindstrand. They worked closely with national authorities to support the response to cases of hantavirus linked to a commercial vessel in the Atlantic Ocean. The ship, according to our information, is sailing for the Canary Islands. So far, eight cases have been reported, including three deaths.

In line with the framework of International Health Regulations, the response so far has involved close coordination between national authorities, and bilateral partners — particularly the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom, many of whom are coordinating remotely from outside the country, as well as the vessel’s own operators.

WHO and the UN team have also supported with tracking and investigating cases, guidance to health professionals, infection prevention measures on board the ship, laboratory investigations and the provision of medical supplies for the vessel. A WHO expert boarded the ship in Cabo Verde, and has been joined by two doctors from the Netherlands and an expert from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. They will stay aboard the ship until it reaches its next destination in the Canary Islands.

They are conducting a medical assessment of everyone on board and gathering information to assess the risk of infection.

The World Health Organization has provided guidance to the ship’s operator on the management of health on board the vessel. They are developing step-by-step operational guidance for the safe and respectful disembarkation and onward travel of passengers and crew when they arrive.

More broadly, WHO will continue to work with the countries to ensure that the patients, the contacts, the passengers and crew have the information and support they need to stay safe and prevent the spread of the virus.

LEBANON

Moving to Lebanon. The Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says that the humanitarian situation there remains volatile. Wednesday evening’s Israeli strike on Beirut’s ‌southern suburbs caused a new wave of displacements of civilians, who, as you can imagine, had already been impacted by months of conflict. This was the first attack on Lebanon’s capital since the ceasefire announcement of April 17th and its subsequent extension. This is obviously a very alarming development. We are deeply worried also about reports of civilians also being killed in the attack and that also includes children.

This is the highlights of our conversation with Ben Mckenzie. For the full interview become a VICE Member. While most celebrities were shilling for crypto, Ben Mckenzie was investigating it. Mckenzie is most known for his roles in the OC, Southland, and Gotham, but most don’t know he studied economics at the University of Virginia. He has gone back to his college roots to take on some of crypto's sorest subjects. In his new movie “Everyone is Lying to You for Money” Mckenize interviews now jailed crypto CEOs Sam Bankman-Fried and Alex Mashinsky. He also goes to El Salvador to check out Nayib Bukele’s attempt to become the first country to use Bitcoin as an official currency. We talk about all the dark corners of Mckenzie’s investigations took him to, all the people that have been hurt by crypto, the identity of bitcoins founder, the history of currency, and we play “Steal That NFT”.

Samsung, LG, TCL, HiSense and pretty much everyone else tout the benefits of their "smart" operating systems included with their TVs. But honestly, I don't need my TV to be yet another computer to serve ads to me and steal my data. I already got a bunch of those! But escaping from the grips of TizenOS, WebOS or even Android TV is difficult, especially when precious few companies sell modern displays without the OS cruft. Well, Sceptre has a 75" TV that is simple as can be. But is their TV with no Smarts just plain dumb?

Last week we brought Girls’ Day to the ECB with an IT bootcamp 💻

Over two days, girls from across Europe met IT experts and took part in hands on workshops – they even brought LEGO robots to life!

They also discovered more about the ECB through visits to our main building, Visitor Centre and Banknotes Lab.

A big well done to everyone who took part — the future of tech is looking bright 🚀

Ursula von der Leyen makes a crucial point about Europe’s energy crisis: There is no single solution that works for everyone. Across the European Union, each country has a different energy mix — some rely more on gas, others on renewables, nuclear, or imports. This diversity means that a uniform response would fail to address the reality on the ground.

That’s why the EU is shifting strategy.

Instead of imposing one rigid plan, the European Commission has introduced a flexible “toolbox” of measures, allowing each Member State to respond based on its own needs, vulnerabilities, and energy structure.

This approach reflects a deeper transformation in EU policy:
👉 Coordination at the European level
👉 Flexibility at the national level

Countries can now combine different tools — from market interventions to support measures and energy investments — depending on their situation.

The goal is simple:
Respond faster, act smarter, and avoid repeating the mistakes of past crises.

In a fragmented energy landscape, adaptability becomes strength.

📢 Strategic message:
👉 Europe stays united — but acts flexibly.
#eudebates #EnergyCrisis #vonDerLeyen #EnergyPolicy #Europe #Geopolitics #Economy

Ursula von der Leyen delivers a message of urgency — and cautious hope. “History teaches us that all walls eventually fall.” With these words, she frames a moment where conflict may finally give way to diplomacy.

Two months after the outbreak of war in the Middle East, the first signs of de-escalation are emerging. A fragile lull in violence is offering a narrow window for peace — one that Europe believes must not be missed.

The European Union is calling for ceasefires to hold in both Iran and Lebanon, stressing that stability can only be achieved through diplomatic solutions, not continued escalation. Recent ceasefire efforts in the region have already been welcomed by the EU as a necessary step to reduce violence and allow humanitarian relief .

But the situation remains extremely fragile. The conflict has already shaken global stability, disrupted energy markets, and increased geopolitical tensions far beyond the region .

Von der Leyen’s message is clear:
👉 Peace must be secured now
👉 Diplomacy must replace escalation
👉 Stability is in everyone’s interest

This is not just about the Middle East. The consequences are global — from energy prices to economic security — and Europe is positioning itself as a key actor pushing for de-escalation.
Even in times of war, the path forward must lead to peace.

Elon Musk spent a lot of his week trying to explain how OpenAI wronged him — but mostly just seemed to annoy everyone else in the courtroom. Nilay and David discuss Musk’s testimony in the OpenAI trial, and what it might mean for the trial going forward. After that, the Hype Desk gang recommends a couple of new things to watch, before the hosts chat about the week’s new gadgets, including the Steam Controller and the dual-screen Zephyrus Duo laptop. Finally, in the lightning round, Brendan Carr picks a fight over Jimmy Kimmel again, Netflix buys into the clip economy, and Taylor Swift fights the AI.

EIN UPDATE AUS DEM WALD:

Kürzlich hatte die Besetzung des Hambacher Waldes ihren 14. Geburtstag. Feierlich brannten zu dieser Gelegenheit die Barrikaden und es wurde (wie früher) ein paar Runden „Chaos Ball“ gespielt.

Die Geburtstagsfeier fand statt inmitten der Hambi (Re)Building Days. Das 10-tagige Event war ein Anlass der viele von uns zurück in den Wald brachte, lange waren wir hier nicht mehr so viele. Während der Tage wurden Strukturen abgebaut, andere renoviert und ein Container voll Müll entsorgt, der nicht im Wald verbleiben soll. Wir senden einen warmen Dank an alle die auf die eine oder andere Art an diesem großartigem Beitrag beteiligt waren. Vielleicht ist dies der Anfang einer neuen Zeit für diesen Ort.

In Zeiten geopolitischer Krisen und einer sich immer weiter zuspitzenden Energiekrise ist die deutsche Ökonomie unter erneutem Druck lokale fossile Energien bereitzustellen. Wir hören also die Regierung (wieder einmal) über das Verzögern des Kohleausstiegs. Die einzig sinnvolle Reaktion darauf ist es die Barrikaden hoch zu stapeln, unsere Baumhäuser dick genug zu dämmen, so dass sie noch viele Winter standhalten. Mit dem Hambi besetzen wir ein riesiges Reservoir Braunkohle und so lange der Kapitalismus andauert wird der Wald niemals sicher sein.

Trotz aller Höhen und Tiefen des Ortes ist der besetzte Wald nie einen Kompromiss mit dem Staat eingegangen. Der Wald bleibt eine der größten autonomen Zonen, die wir als antikapitalistische & radikal ökologischen Bewegung ausleben können. Tausende von uns haben über die Jahre für den Hambi gekämpft. Lasst uns immer fortfahren mit dieser einzigartigen Möglichkeit uns hier zu treffen, nah mit den Bäumen zu leben und den Kampf in den kommenden Jahren weiter gehen zu lassen.

Mit diesen Worten laden wir euch ein zu den Hambi (Re)Building Days #2, 18.-24. Juni 2026.

Lang lebe der Hambi!

Einige Waldwesen

____________________________

UPDATE FROM THE FOREST:

Recently the occupied Hambacher Forest celebrated its 14th birthday. The occasion was met with flaming barricades and a few rounds of a game which the people here call “chaos ball”.

The birthday took place in the middle of the Hambi (Re)Building Days, and there were more of us here during the 10-day event than in quite some time. Structures were deconstructed, others were renovated, and one container was filled with old trash. We extend a warm thank you to everyone who contributed to this great effort in one way or another. Maybe it will be the beginning of a new phase for the place.

During times of ever-spiraling energy crises and geopolitical conflicts, the German economy faces renewed pressures for inputs of local fossil fuels. We hear the government talking (yet again) about extending the coal-exit. The only sensible response is to stack our barricades high, and insulate our treehouses thick enough for many more winters to come. Sitting on top of huge reserves of brown coal, the Hambi will never be safe for as long as capitalism continues.

Amidst the ups and downs of this place, the occupied forest never compromised with the state. It remains the largest autonomous space which the broader anti-capitalist/radical ecological movement in the German territory has to play with. Thousands of us have fought over the years to defend and maintain the Hambi. Let’s continue to enjoy this precious opportunity to come together, live close to the trees, and keep up the fight for years to come.

In this spirit, we invite you to the Hambi (Re)Building Days #2, June 18-24, 2026.

Long live the Hambi!

Some forest critters.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres urged Member States to support the emergency evacuation framework prepared by the International Maritime Organization (IOM) to securely evacuate ships and seafarers from the conflict zone.

Addressing the Security Council about ‘Safety and Protection of Waterways in the Maritime Domain’, Guterres said, “Safe, unimpeded passage is an economic and humanitarian imperative. The economic shock has been immediate – and everyone is paying the price.”

He highlighted, “Behind the cargo figures and the price surges are people. More than 20,000 seafarers remain stranded at sea. Over 2,000 commercial vessels are caught in a web of risks and restrictions to navigation. These men and women are not parties to any conflict. They are civilian workers keeping the world supplied. Their safety, their well-being, and their rights must be protected – at all times, and in all waters.”

He urged Member States to support the emergency evacuation framework prepared by the International Maritime Organization, “A coordinated plan to ensure the safe movement, assistance, and protection of affected crews in full accordance with international law.”

He continued, “The Charter's prohibition of the threat or use of force applies fully at sea. Navigational rights and freedoms through the Strait of Hormuz must be respected – as affirmed by this Council’s Resolution 2817. These principles must be upheld – in full, and without delay. I appeal to the parties: Open the Strait. Let ships pass. No tolls. No discrimination. Let trade resume. Let the global economy breathe.”

The President of the NPT Review Conference, Viet Nam’s Ambassador Do Hung Viet, told journalists in New York that the danger of a nuclear war is “seen and is felt, I think, much more concretely these days” and said that without an outcome document from the Conference "I would not say it would be a success.”

As the 11th Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) got underway, Do said it is convening “at a particularly challenging time,” and “the most challenging time for the NPT regime itself.”

Asked about Iran’s election as a conference’s vice-presidency, he said the nomination had been made “a few months ago, but the concern about Iran's candidacy on emerged about a week ago,” and noted that it is “the right of any state party and the right of any group to nominate their candidates.”

The Ambassador said, “what we have managed to do is to get the agreement of all the states parties that instead of asking for a vote, they would instead disassociate themselves from the decision made at the conference. So, again, this is an issue that only came out about a week ago. So, it is not reflective of the consultations that I have had over the past eight months.”

Asked about Israel status as a non-member of the NPT, he said “there are continuous” calls for Israel, India, and Pakistan “to join the NPT as non-nuclear weapon states.”

Responding to a question on what would constitute a success, Do said, “if the conference is conducted smoothly, in an inclusive manner, where everyone is heard, everyone's view can be reflected. I think that is also, it can be characterized as a good conference. But again, I would not say it would be a success.”

The Ambassador said, “nuclear rhetoric and arms race, nuclear arms race, is really looming. The threat to use nuclear weapons have been floating up there. The modernization and expansion of nuclear arsenals and the violation of international law, the level of mistrust amongst major powers and regional countries. So, the stakes are very, very high, actually.”

The 11th Review Conference of the Parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) is being held from 27 April to 22 May 2026 at United Nations Headquarters in New York

The NPT, in force since 1970 and extended indefinitely in 1995, is considered the cornerstone of the global nuclear non-proliferation regime.

Members of the British public express mixed opinions as both chambers of the country's parliament approve a bill to ban children aged 17 and under from buying cigarettes during their lifetime. "I think it's a really good idea," says nurse Christine Methnani. "Teenagers will never start to smoke and be peer pressured into smoking cigarettes," she adds. Meanwhile, 18-year-old Reece Mellor argues that "it will 100% become more of a black market thing where people get them (cigarettes) off the streets".

BUSINESS INSIDER: „Wir sind schneller als die Analysten!“ – Diese Chance steckt in der Lanxess-Aktie

Die angespannte Lage im Persischen Golf bringt Bewegung in die Chemiebranche: Engpässe bei Naphtha durch Unsicherheiten rund um die Straße von Hormus treiben Preise und Nachfrage. Während asiatische Märkte unter Druck geraten, könnten europäische Konzerne kurzfristig profitieren. Besonders im Fokus: Lanxess. Trotz schwacher Kursentwicklung sehen einige Investoren Chancen durch sogenannte „Pre-Buying“-Effekte. Doch das Zeitfenster ist eng, Risiken bleiben hoch – von geopolitischer Entspannung bis zur Nachfrageschwäche. Eine Analyse der Marktmechanismen und der spekulativen Investmentidee.

In a blunt assessment, Kaja Kallas explains why energy is the key battlefield in the war against Russia. 🇷🇺 Oil = War Funding
Kallas makes it clear: Russian oil revenues are the backbone of the war economy, and any rise in global oil prices gives Moscow breathing space.

⚡ EU Strategy: Cut Dependence
The European Union is pushing to fully eliminate reliance on Russian oil and gas, warning that dependence gives Russia direct leverage over Europe.

🛢️ Pipeline Politics
Even with routes like the Druzhba pipeline being restored, Kallas stresses that as long as Europe buys Russian energy, Russia holds the power.

🌍 What’s Next?
Diversification of energy sources remains critical — ensuring Europe is never again vulnerable to geopolitical pressure.

During the height of the cryptocurrency craze a few years ago, the actor Ben McKenzie found himself wondering why no one else was seeing what he was seeing. He joins the show to explain his yearslong attempt to understand Bitcoin and the crypto world, all of which is in his new documentary Everyone Is Lying to You For Money. (You can probably guess how he feels.) After that, The Verge’s Victoria Song tells us about her testing of continuous glucose monitors, which have gone from medical device to influencer trend in some worrying ways. Finally, we answer a question from the Vergecast Hotline (call 866-VERGE11 or email vergecast@theverge.com!) about why all our gadgets seem the same these days.

The UN humanitarian coordinator for Sudan called the three-year-old conflict there “an abandoned crisis,” warning that the scale of atrocities has yet to move the world to act.

Briefing reporters in New York, UN Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator for Sudan Denise Brown said the situation in the country has become a cycle of suffering with no end in sight.

“We really are on repeat in Sudan - repeats of sexual violence, repeated displacement, repeated deaths,” Brown said. “It feels like we're stuck in this cycle, and everything is being repeated.”

Brown said the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, OHCHR, had documented patterns of sexual violence, citing a recent MSF report for Darfur entitled “No Safe Space Left for Women and Girls in Darfur.” The organization has treated close to 2,500 survivors of sexual violence over the past year.

“What we also need to be addressing here is the impregnation of these women and girls, and the consequences for them, for the families, for the communities, and of course most particularly for these children,” she said.

Brown said OHCHR had also documented mass atrocities around El-Fasher, where 6,000 people were killed in three days - a figure she said was likely an undercount. She noted that the UN Independent Fact-Finding Mission for Sudan now refers to the hallmarks of genocide.

“Why isn't the world outraged enough to do something about it? What has to happen more? What more has to happen for everyone to sit up and pay attention, to find a solution,” she said.

Brown, speaking from Khartoum, said the humanitarian community was present across the country but was not the solution. “We are here picking up the pieces,” she said, calling on member states to examine the war economy and the flow of weapons into the country.

She flagged Dilling as an active area of concern, saying the town has been under daily attacks since she visited in March, with convoys unable to get in and residents trying to flee again. She said she was also heading to the Blue Nile, where close to 30,000 people had been displaced.

On funding, Brown said the humanitarian response plan was only 16 percent funded against a 2.9 billion dollars ask for 2026, after closing 2025 at 35 percent. “When we get a tent, that tent, … doesn't become six tents. That tent is one tent,” she said.

“Please don't call this the forgotten crisis,” Brown also stated her personal plea. “I'm referring to this as an abandoned crisis.”

Ukrainian drones have made artillery and armored vehicles look obsolete. Why is the world still buying them?

Protesters gather outside the US Supreme Court, which is considering Donald Trump's historic bid to end birthright citizenship with the Republican president smashing protocol by sitting in the audience. The birthright case is a pillar in Trump's attempts to restrict immigration and his decision to attend oral arguments is unprecedented for a sitting president. Trump signed an executive order on his return to the White House decreeing that children born to parents in the United States illegally or on temporary visas would not automatically become US citizens. Lower courts blocked the move as unconstitutional, ruling that under the Citizenship Clause of the 14th Amendment nearly everyone born on US soil is an American citizen.

Furnishing a home doesn’t have to mean buying everything new. Fast furniture is often made with cheaper materials that aren’t built to last — and don’t break down in landfills. But there are alternatives that don’t break the bank, from shopping secondhand to finding free pieces through community groups. And if you do buy fast furniture, experts say maintaining and passing it on can help keep it out of the trash.

Justices could decide this summer the constitutionality of Trump’s order. The 14th Amendment and federal law are widely understood to make citizens of everyone born in the country, with narrow exceptions.

Scott Galloway sits down with Shane Smith to talk through why the system feels off right now and why more people are starting to notice. They get into how wealth keeps concentrating at the top, why the middle class isn’t growing the way it used to, and how big tech and corporate power quietly shape the rules.

Galloway lays out why capitalism only works when the middle class is strong and what happens when it isn’t. The conversation moves through monopolies, tax policy, and the incentives driving both business and politics, all pointing to the same question: what actually changes this trajectory?

They also touch on global instability, market fragility, and how close we might be to a real economic reset. It’s a blunt look at where things stand and what could come next if nothing shifts.

At NATO Headquarters, Secretary General Mark Rutte and Bulgaria’s Prime Minister Andrey Gurov deliver a strong message on rising global instability.

From Russia’s war in Ukraine to escalating hybrid threats and disinformation, the Black Sea is no longer just a trade route — it has become a frontline of geopolitical confrontation.

Bulgaria reaffirms its unwavering commitment to NATO, collective defense, and support for Ukraine, even in times of political transition.

The message is clear:
⚡ Security threats affect everyone
⚡ NATO unity is critical
⚡ The Black Sea is now strategic ground

Shortly before the 1973 Chilean coup, CIA agents Chris (John Malkovich) and Lee (Sam Rockwell) are dispatched from Santiago to Easter island by their bureau chief, MJ (Steve Buscemi). Amongst the Island's iconic statues, and as the longtime partners wrestle with their dark pasts and present conspiracies, Chris's newfound bond with a pair of rebellious students (Mariana di Girolamo and Ailín Salas) threatens to send everyone’s trip to this remote paradise sideways.

Allied leaders know that any positive gesture they make will count for nothing.

Speaking ahead of the Foreign Affairs Council, Péter Szijjártó defended Hungary’s energy policy, saying the government’s priority is to keep energy prices low for Hungarian consumers and businesses.

Szijjártó argued that from Hungary’s perspective there is no realistic justification for buying more expensive oil when cheaper supplies remain available.

The Hungarian Foreign Minister also downplayed the economic impact of Hungary’s purchases of Russian oil, noting that the amount Hungary pays represents only a small fraction of Russia’s GDP.

Hungary has repeatedly criticized EU energy sanctions and has advocated for maintaining diversified and affordable energy supplies, a stance that has often put Budapest at odds with other EU member states.

The debate comes as European leaders continue discussions on energy security, sanctions against Russia and the broader economic impact of the war in Ukraine.

Last week, it appeared the US Department of Justice was off to a strong start in its antitrust case against Live Nation Ticketmaster. Then, this week, the two sides surprised everyone by settling. The Verge’s Lauren Feiner joins the show to explain the stakes of the case, the facts of the settlement, and why things aren’t entirely over just yet. Then, The Verge’s Hayden Field catches us up on what’s happening between Anthropic, OpenAI, and the Department of Defense. OpenAI got the contract, but it looks like Anthropic might be the real winner here. If the company’s business can survive, that is. Finally, David answers a question on the Vergecast Hotline (call 866-VERGE11 or email vergecast@theverge.com!) about whether you should get a foldable phone.

Shane Smith sits down with Senator Bernie Sanders for a conversation that cuts straight to the heart of America's biggest crisis artificial intelligence. Bernie warns that a handful of the world's wealthiest men are quietly engineering the most consequential revolution in human history, one that could wipe out millions of jobs overnight and leave ordinary Americans with nothing but unanswered questions. Driverless trucks, automated warehouses, AI lawyers and accountants the future is arriving fast, and Congress isn't even having the conversation.

Bernie then unloads on the billionaire class fueling this transformation exposing how wealth and power have never been more dangerously concentrated, how money has corrupted American democracy from Citizens United to Elon Musk's $290 million in campaign spending, and why a federal wealth tax may be the last line of defense for working people. This is Bernie Sanders unfiltered and he's sounding the alarm.

European Commissioner for Equality Hadja Lahbib closed the presentation of the EU Gender Equality Strategy 2026–2030 with a clear vision for the future.

She stressed that the European Union is working toward a society where girls and boys, women and men can enjoy the same rights and opportunities.

The strategy aims to bring Europe closer to a world where equality is not just a principle but a lived reality for everyone.

Lahbib also echoed the powerful words “Women, Life, Freedom”, emphasizing that equality should not remain a protest slogan but become a promise of opportunity, autonomy and dignity.

The message from Brussels was clear:
A fairer society is possible — and the EU is determined to move closer to that goal.

European Commissioner for Equality Hadja Lahbib warned that gender-based online violence has become a systemic risk that digital platforms must address.

Speaking during the presentation of the EU Gender Equality Strategy 2026–2030, Lahbib confirmed that the European Commission is investigating whether online platforms have done enough to prevent the spread of illegal abusive content targeting women.

The EU is strengthening protections through several key initiatives, including the Violence Against Women Directive, the Digital Services Act, and a new cyberbullying action plan aimed at making digital spaces safer.

Lahbib emphasized that protecting freedom of expression must never mean tolerating harassment, abuse or violence online.

Her message from Brussels was clear:
Digital platforms must take responsibility and ensure safer online environments for everyone.

European Commissioner for Equality Hadja Lahbib presented key elements of the EU Gender Equality Strategy 2026–2030, emphasizing that gender equality concerns society as a whole.

Building on the EU roadmap for women’s rights, the new strategy introduces 30 concrete measures designed to address discrimination and barriers faced by women and girls throughout their lives.

Lahbib stressed that equality policies are not only about women’s rights but about building stronger, fairer societies.

According to the European Commission, gender equality benefits everyone — including men — by strengthening social cohesion, economic opportunity and democratic participation.

Her message was clear:
True equality brings people together and requires the participation of both women and men.

European Commission Executive Vice-President Roxana Mînzatu stressed that gender equality must involve both women and men, highlighting the need to engage young men and boys in building a fairer society.

Speaking during the press conference on the EU Gender Equality Strategy 2026–2030, Mînzatu explained that gender imbalance exists in several sectors: women remain underrepresented in technology and STEM careers, while men are significantly underrepresented in fields such as education and healthcare.

She called for policies that encourage balance across professions, emphasizing that equality is not about replacing one inequality with another but about creating a cohesive and inclusive society.

Mînzatu also warned that despite backlash against women’s rights in parts of the world, the progress achieved cannot be reversed.

Her message was clear:

Gender equality strengthens democracy, social cohesion and economic progress.

According to the Eurobarometer 2024, three out of four Europeans believe gender equality benefits both men and women.

“Everyone now needs air defense.” EU High Representative Kaja Kallas warns that global demand for air defense systems and drone interceptors is rising rapidly as multiple conflicts intensify.

According to Kallas, both Ukraine and countries in the Middle East are urgently seeking defensive capabilities to counter drone attacks, creating serious pressure on production capacity and military supply chains.

She stressed that Europe must accelerate the production of drones and drone interceptors, highlighting that Ukraine has already developed significant expertise and manufacturing capacity that could help partners increase output.

With defense capabilities limited and demand growing across different conflicts, Kallas cautioned that the shortage of air defense systems could affect multiple war zones simultaneously.

Lyrics:
O du lilla lamm,
som borttager världens synder,
giv oss din tråd

Den svarta tråden
Sticker i mig
Syr mig samman
I flor, svepedukar,

O du lilla lamm,
foster, döda, vänner, hjärtan

Den svarta tråden
Sticker i mig
Dödens rosor och offer
Giv oss din frid

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem.

Interne Phishing-Kamapgnen sind als Awareness-schaffende Massnahme super, wenn Sie richtig gemacht sind. In diesem Talk erkläre ich wie wir vorgegangen sind, was wir erlebt haben und vor allem was wir dabei gelernt haben. Denn wie immer ist "nach der Kampagne, direkt vor der Kampagne."

Kommt mit auf eine Spannende und lustige Reise in die Welt der Manipulation, damit unsere Spamfilter auch morgen noch kraftvoll rausfiltern können

Wer kennt es nicht?
Regelmässig müssen Awareness Massnahmen durchgeführt werden, damit man seine InfoSec-Zertifizierung behält und Regularien entsprochen wird.
Das macht am Anfang noch Spass, aber schon bald fangen die Mitarbeitenden, Freunde und Familie an sich zu langweilen, da man immer nur das selbe erzählt.
Was wenn es einen Weg geben würde, der tatsächlich Awareness schaffen kann und alle zum Mitmachen bewegen könnte?

Was, wenn ich euch sage, dass Ihr gleichzeitig alle eure Mitarbeitenden (inkl. Vorstände) nerven und Ärgern könnt, aber keiner auch nur im Ansatz sauer darüber ist?

Lasst mich euch von unserer letzten internen Phishing Kampagne erzählen.

Interne Phishing-Kamapgnen sind als Awareness-schaffende Massnahme super, wenn Sie richtig gemacht sind. In diesem Talk erkläre ich wie wir vorgegangen sind, was wir erlebt haben und vor allem was wir dabei gelernt haben. Denn wie immer ist "nach der Kampagne, direkt vor der Kampagne."

Kommt mit auf eine Spannende und lustige Reise in die Welt der Manipulation, damit unsere Spamfilter auch morgen noch kraftvoll rausfiltern können

Wer kennt es nicht?
Regelmässig müssen Awareness Massnahmen durchgeführt werden, damit man seine InfoSec-Zertifizierung behält und Regularien entsprochen wird.
Das macht am Anfang noch Spass, aber schon bald fangen die Mitarbeitenden, Freunde und Familie an sich zu langweilen, da man immer nur das selbe erzählt.
Was wenn es einen Weg geben würde, der tatsächlich Awareness schaffen kann und alle zum Mitmachen bewegen könnte?

Was, wenn ich euch sage, dass Ihr gleichzeitig alle eure Mitarbeitenden (inkl. Vorstände) nerven und Ärgern könnt, aber keiner auch nur im Ansatz sauer darüber ist?

Lasst mich euch von unserer letzten internen Phishing Kampagne erzählen.
Eine Geschichte über Spiel, Spass, Spannung, Stress, super Ideen, veraltete Software, das umgehen von Spamfilter und die Reaktionen mit denen man rechnen muss.

Former President Joe Biden flew commercially from Reagan National Airport and ended up getting stuck in the same delays as everyone else. On Friday morning, fog triggered an hour-long ground stop, and crowds packed an American Airlines gate to catch a glimpse of the former president.

ICE has been quietly buying detention centers around the country, sometimes without alerting local or state officials. Some officials say they found out about ICE's plans from news reports or even activists. #shorts

At the European Commission read-out of the College meeting in Brussels, Magnus Brunner called for stronger responsibility and deeper cooperation among Member States to confront evolving security threats across Europe.

Presenting new initiatives under the EU internal security agenda, Brunner highlighted the Commission’s latest counter-terrorism measures alongside a strengthened firearms directive aimed at closing security gaps exploited by criminals and extremists.

The Commissioner stressed that terrorists exploit weaknesses wherever they find them — making intelligence sharing, coordinated enforcement and cross-border cooperation essential.

The proposals focus on improving prevention, enhancing operational collaboration between national authorities, and reinforcing the EU’s ability to respond quickly to emerging threats linked to organised crime, illegal weapons trafficking and radicalisation.

As Europe faces growing geopolitical instability and security challenges, Brussels is pushing for faster action and unified responses to protect citizens across the Union.

China just showcased a new phase of humanoid robotics in public, with full-size robots performing sword dances, martial arts, parkour, aerial flips, and real-time recovery on national television. Robotera’s L7 demonstrated whole-body coordination with a fifty-five-joint system, Unitree’s G1 and H1 executed high-speed kung fu routines and three-meter flips in synchronized groups, and Agibot’s Expedition A3 delivered individual agility demos with no CGI involved. These were not lab tests or staged animations. They were live stress tests designed to prove readiness for real deployment.

🧠 What You’ll See
0:00 Intro
0:39 How Robotera’s L7 maintains balance and torque control during a full sword routine
4:28 How Unitree’s humanoids perform synchronized kung fu, parkour, and aerial flips live
7:26 How real-time recovery logic allows robots to fall and rejoin performances
7:48 How Agibot’s Expedition A3 executes high-difficulty martial arts with no CGI
9:13 How production scale and shipment targets now replace demos as the main challenge

🚨 Why It Matters
This is not about performance art or viral clips. It is about humanoid robots proving stability, coordination, and recovery under public pressure. With companies like Unitree planning shipments in the tens of thousands and robots already moving toward factories, logistics, and inspection roles, the focus has shifted from capability to scale. That transition marks the moment humanoid robotics starts leaving controlled environments and entering real industrial use.

Footage shared on social media on 24 February shows Iranian students demonstrating and chanting slogans at several universities across the capital, Tehran.

Authorities have offered a muted warning, saying that while university students have the right to protest, everyone must "understand the red lines".

He argues that “grey zones” between NATO, the European Union and Russia have historically encouraged aggression, pointing to Georgia in 2008 and Ukraine since 2014.

Tsahkna stresses that Ukraine is defending not only itself but Europe’s future security, calling for stronger EU enlargement momentum including Ukraine and Moldova.

He urges immediate adoption of the 20th sanctions package — particularly a full maritime services ban — alongside the rapid release of the €90 billion support package for Kyiv.

The Estonian minister also proposes a Schengen-wide blacklist targeting Russian combatants responsible for atrocities, warning Europe must prepare for future security risks if peace is reached.

Few AI products have found the kind of product-market fit we’ve seen from Claude Code. On the eve of the product’s first anniversary, Anthropic’s Boris Cherny explains why Claude Code is so powerful, all the work left to do, and why he no longer writes any code himself. After that, The Verge’s Hayden Field joins the show to talk about how we should think about giving our data (and our computers) to AI, even when it seems useful. Finally, The Verge’s Allison Johnson helps David answer a question from the Vergecast Hotline (866-VERGE11) about whether you should go buy a phone, like, right now. #Vergecast #Technology #Podcast

Der britische Ex-Prinz Andrew wurde an seinem 66. Geburtstag wegen Amtsmissbrauchs festgenommen. Die Protestgruppe "Everyone Hates Elon" platzierte ein Foto von ihm im Pariser Museum Louvre, um auf seine Verwicklungen im Epstein-Skandal aufmerksam zu machen und eine gerechte strafrechtliche Verfolgung zu fordern. Das Bild blieb nur 15 Minuten hängen, bevor es von Museumsmitarbeitern entfernt wurde.

Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/EudebatesTvLIVE?sub_confirmation=1 At the Munich Security Conference 2026, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas delivers a powerful defence of international law and multilateral cooperation in an increasingly unstable world.

Speaking on behalf of Europe’s many smaller nations, she argues that the rules-based order created after the Second World War no longer fully reflects today’s geopolitical realities — yet abandoning rules altogether would open the door to domination by power alone.

Kallas calls for partnerships grounded in dignity, listening and mutual respect, warning against decision-making structures where a single leader or power can act without accountability.

As debates intensify over UN reform, Gaza stabilization initiatives and new diplomatic frameworks, she insists that lasting peace depends on equality between states and rules that protect everyone — especially the vulnerable.

A defining European vision for reforming global governance without sacrificing justice.

Subscribe here: https://www.youtube.com/EudebatesTvLIVE?sub_confirmation=1 Europe’s new defence architecture is taking shape — and not everyone automatically gets a seat at the table. At the E5 Defence Ministers’ meeting, EU High Representative Kaja Kallas delivered a decisive clarification on participation in the European Union’s SAFE defence initiative, stressing that cooperation will be based on trusted security and defence partnerships led by EU Member States.

SAFE is designed to accelerate joint procurement, strengthen Europe’s defence industry and build shared military capabilities at a time of rising geopolitical tensions and growing security threats.

While partners beyond the EU may participate, Member States will determine cooperation frameworks — signalling a stronger European leadership role inside NATO’s broader security ecosystem.

OpenAI quietly redesigned Deep Research inside ChatGPT, turning it from a passive “wait for results” tool into something users can actively steer. Constrained browsing, connected app context, mid-run interruption, and full-screen citation review mode push it closer to controlled, repeatable work instead of novelty answers. Under the hood, Deep Research reportedly shifted to GPT-5.2, reinforcing OpenAI’s move toward agent-style workflows — browsing, synthesis, tool use, iteration, not just single responses.
At the same time, an open-source agent framework called OpenJuan posted near-human results on the GAIA benchmark. Deep Agent scored 91.69% — effectively matching human performance in multi-step reasoning, planning, tool usage, and recovery from failure. This isn’t chatbot performance. It’s delegated execution. Dual internal loops, layered memory compression, and rollback correction, the architecture is designed to finish tasks, not just attempt them. Deep Search also leads BrowseComp++, pushing research agents closer to practical parity. Then came GLM-5 from Jepu AI (Z.ai). A 744B parameter mixture-of-experts model with 28.5 trillion tokens of training data and 200,000 token context support, it launched with a headline that caught attention: a negative hallucination score on the AA Omniscience Index, meaning it reliably says “I don’t know” instead of guessing. GLM-5 ranks as the strongest open-source model on Artificial Analysis, scores 77.8 on SWE-Bench Verified, and outperforms many proprietary competitors while undercutting them on price. Its agent mode outputs finished files DOCX, PDF, XLSX signaling a shift from chat to structured office workflows.
But not everyone is comfortable. Analysts warn that highly goal-optimized systems may lack broader situational awareness, raising classic alignment concerns once models move beyond answering into autonomous execution across tools and files. Meanwhile, China’s ecosystem is accelerating. ByteDance is advancing Cedance 2.0, its next-gen generative video model. Baidu launched a global AI-powered Wiki platform while consolidating its search ecosystem around Ernie Assistant. Distribution at scale is becoming just as important as model performance. The signal across all of this is clear: AI is moving from conversation to delegation. From chat to work. From novelty to infrastructure. If you want serious breakdowns of what actually matters in AI, not just hype cycle, subscribe for more deep dives.

SECRETARY-GENERAL/INDIA

The Secretary-General is in New Delhi, in India, where this morning he spoke at the opening ceremony of the AI Impact Summit. In his remarks, he said that holding the summit in India has special meaning and brings this conversation closer to the realities shaping much of the world, because the future of AI cannot be decided by a handful of countries and the whims of a few billionaires.

Last year, the General Assembly took two decisive steps, he said. First, by creating an Independent International Scientific Panel on Artificial Intelligence, and second, by launching a Global Dialogue on AI Governance within the UN, where all countries, together with the private sector, academia and civil society, can all have a voice.

He told participants that real impact means technology that improves lives and protects the planet. And he called on them to build AI for everyone, with dignity as the default setting.

Throughout the day, the Secretary-General had exchanges and meetings with the government and tech leaders attending the summit. He also met with the UN team in India.

Tomorrow morning, the Secretary-General is scheduled to participate in a roundtable organized by the United Nations to discuss renewable energy and energy transition. Immediately after that, he will return back to the site of the AI summit to take part in a panel on the Role of Science in International AI Governance.

The Secretary-General is also scheduled to have bilateral meetings with the President of India, Droupadi Murmu, as well as with the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.

SUDAN

This morning, the Security Council held an open briefing on the situation in Sudan. Rosemary DiCarlo, Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs, described over 1,000 days of brutal war devastating the country. She noted that long-range drones and aerial strikes by both sides have severely affected civilians and civilian infrastructure, leaving no part of Sudan safe. DiCarlo emphasized that parties must respect international humanitarian law and human rights, and that violators must be held to account. She stressed that progress on a political vision for Sudan’s future is urgent, and any ceasefire must be anchored in a credible process toward an inclusive transition.

Edem Wosornu, the Director of the Crisis Response Division at the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), briefed the Council via videoconference from Geneva. Linking to DiCarlo’s call for accountability, she highlighted the findings from the Independent International Fact-Finding Mission for the Sudan, which describe atrocities by the Rapid Support Forces in and around El Fasher in late October 2025 as “indicators of a genocidal path.” The Mission documented coordinated attacks targeting people based on ethnicity, gender, or perceived political affiliation, causing mass killings, serious physical and mental harm, sexual violence, arbitrary detention, torture, enforced disappearances, and accompanied by dehumanizing rhetoric.

Civilians continue to bear the brunt of this conflict, as we told you again and again.The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) confirmed that an earlier attack in West Kordofan on Monday killed 15 children. OCHA reports that yesterday a strike on an education centre near Rahad town in North Kordofan killed four civilians and injured four others. That is what local sources are telling them.

These incidents reflect a broader pattern of violence affecting civilians. The UN reiterates its call for the protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure, and for all parties to adhere to their obligations under international humanitarian law.

SECRETARY-GENERAL/TRAVEL

The Secretary-General has arrived in New Delhi, and he has just started his programme of activities there.

In the evening, he attended a dinner organized by the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, for the high-level participants of the AI Impact Summit.

Tomorrow morning, Mr. Guterres will take part in the Summit’s opening ceremony, which will be followed by a plenary with Heads of State and Government. In his remarks to the AI Summit, he will say that meeting in India brings this conversation closer to the realities shaping much of the world, because the future of AI cannot be decided by a handful of countries or left to the whims of a few billionaires. He will call for AI to be accessible to everyone, to benefit everyone and to be safe for everyone.

We have shared these remarks under embargo – and we will issue them as soon as they are delivered.

Throughout the day, the Secretary-General will hold bilateral meetings with leaders and ministers attending the summit. He will also meet with our UN colleagues based in India.

SECRETARY-GENERAL/INTERNATIONAL ENERGY AGENCY

This morning, the Secretary-General addressed via a video message the International Energy Agency Ministerial Meeting, which is taking place in Paris. He noted that we have entered the age of clean energy, and renewables are now the cheapest, fastest and safest source of new electricity almost everywhere.

The Secretary-General highlighted that those who lead this transition will lead the global economy of the future. Yet, he said, some fossil fuel interests remain hell-bent on slowing progress, spreading disinformation; pretending that a transition is unrealistic or unaffordable.

The Secretary-General noted that the world’s addiction to fossil fuels is one of the greatest threats to global stability and prosperity. He stressed that we must stop treating the transition away from fossil fuels as taboo, and that delay will only breed instability.

The Secretary-General called for a dedicated global platform to deliver a fair, orderly, affordable transition plan away from fossil fuels aligned with 1.5 degrees objectives.

OCCUPIED PALESTINIAN TERRITORY

Turning to Gaza, our humanitarian colleagues report that families across Gaza are marking the first day of Ramadan today in harsh conditions – in unsafe shelters or out in the open, and with limited access to essential goods and services.

At the Rafah crossing, conditions for passengers remain inadequate, the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs tells us.

The UN and our humanitarian partners have visited the re-opened crossing and have noted gaps in basic facilities, including limited availability of latrines and handwashing stations, raising concerns for hygiene at the collection points. People are experiencing prolonged waiting periods, often in areas with limited shade, with insufficient seating and a lack of wheelchairs. The condition of the access road to and from Rafah is also of concern, particularly for patients being medically evacuated.

AP photographer Jacquelyn Martin runs through a day in the life as a photojournalist at the Milan Cortina Games, and what goes into capturing the shots that get everyone talking.

Sweden has teamed up with doctors for a new ad campaign about the health benefits of a visit, billing itself as ‘the first country in the world that doctors can prescribe’. The claims have some grounding in fact, as scientific studies confirm the advantages offered by Swedish habits such as cold plunges, foraging and ‘forest bathing’.

Across the tourism sector, people are spending more of their vacation doing things, rather than just looking at them. By 2030, the majority of tourists globally will be millennials or Gen Z, and two thirds of 18 to 35-year-olds say they find spending money on experiences more fulfilling than buying an item of the same value.

The World Economic Forum’s Beyond Tourism initiative aims to foster more resilient, responsible and inclusive #travel and #tourism, which adapts to the changing needs of travellers, while empowering them to make responsible, informed choices. Tap the link in our bio to learn more.
