In türkischem Gefängnis: Deniz Yücel erhebt Foltervorwurf
Er halte es für „unvorstellbar, dass ein Gefängnisdirektor es wagen würde, in einem Fall, mit dem sich der Staatspräsident persönlich befasst, derart eigenmächtig zu handeln.“ Die „Sonderbehandlung“, so Yücels Schlussfolgerung, sei auf Initiative Erdogans hin erfolgt.
Weiter sagt der 45-Jährige aus, er habe nach den Vorfällen Strafanzeige in der Türkei erstattet. Die Ermittlungen der Staatsanwaltschaft seien jedoch eingestellt worden, ohne dass er angehört worden sei.

Börsengang in New York: Uber sammelt acht Milliarden ein
Dahinter steckt eine im Grunde simple Idee: Wenn der Fahrdienstleister erfolgreich sein wird, winken aufgrund einer Quasi-Monopolstellung fantastische Gewinne und eine Vervielfachung des künftigen Unternehmenswerts. Im Börsenprospekt geht der Konzern davon aus, dass der globale Markt für Uber eine potenzielle Größe von 5.700 Milliarden Dollar in 175 Ländern habe.
Are we a sovereign nation, or merely Trump‘s poodle?
Huawei was the pretext, but you couldn’t help but think that Iran was the primary motive for Mike Pompeo’s decidedly undiplomatic visit to London this week. The US Secretary of State’s public dressing down was for Britain one of the most humiliating episodes – and there have been plenty of them of late – I’ve seen in a long time, and can only really be excused in the context of the paralysing chaos into which British government has descended these past two years.

Except it wasn’t.

The Tory party is disintegrating, collective responsibility has broken down, yet Theresa May goes on
The few Tory MPs who claim to understand how she thinks believe that it has at last percolated through to her that, were she to walk out after the catastrophic local election results, she would merely compound the view of herself as one of the worst prime ministers in history. They think she feels that if she can get a deal to leave the European Union, however bad it might be and by whatever means, she might yet slough off some of her iniquity.

Trump’s peace plan sets conditions for surrender, Palestinians tell UNSC
“We cannot afford not to engage with any peace efforts. But the US administration efforts cannot be characterized, nor can qualify as peace efforts,” Maliki told an UNSC Arria-Formula meeting that was organized by Indonesia.

Trotz Handelsgesprächen: USA erhöhen Zölle gegen China
Bis zum vergangenen Wochenende sprach vieles für eine Einigung im Handelskonflikt. Dann gab es aber offenbar einen heftigen Streit über Formulierungen in einem Entwurf für ein Abkommen zwischen beiden Seiten. US-Regierungskreisen zufolge hat China bei nahezu allen Punkten einen Rückzieher gemacht. In einer fast 150-seitigen Vorlage habe China systematisch Passagen gestrichen, die zu Kernforderungen der US-Seite gehörten.
Die Kriegsmacht: Deutsche Angriffskriege verstoßen gegen Grundgesetz und Völkerrecht — und werden dennoch geführt. Teil 5.
Als „Sündenfall“ der Nachkriegsgeschichte wurde der Kriegseinsatz der Bundeswehr in Jugoslawien oft beschrieben. Statt Reue und Umkehr wurden danach aber nur noch weitere Sünden draufgepackt. Unser Autor hat sie in den bisherigen Folgen seiner Artikelreihe ausführlich beschrieben: den Afghanistankrieg, der jetzt nach 18 Jahren wohl bald als verloren angesehen werden muss, den zweiten Krieg der USA gegen den Irak und den Angriffskrieg gegen Libyen. Im fünften und letzten Teil geht er nun auf die Beteiligung Deutschlands am Krieg gegen Syrien ein. Auch hier zeigten sich die scheinbar lammfrommen deutschen Außenpolitiker als verkleidete Wölfe. Deutschland war aktiv beteiligt an nachrichtendienstlichen Angriffen auf Syrien, an einem umfangreichen Propaganda- und Wirtschaftskrieg und an der Unterstützung einer höchst dubiosen syrischen Opposition.
