Mirziyoyev noted the dynamic development of the Uzbek-Turkish strategic partnership based on centuries-old bonds of friendship and brotherhood, which has been brought to a new level by joint efforts over the past three years.

Iraq reopens Green Zone bridge year after revolt
Iraqi authorities Tuesday reopened a bridge in central Baghdad leading to the high-security Green Zone, in a sign of easing tensions a year after the launch of an anti-government protest movement.
Aufrüstung gegen die libanesische Revolution
Egal ob Tunesien, Chile, Sudan, Irak oder Libanon: Die Hintergründe von Massenbewegungen im globalen Süden werden auf EUropäischer und US-Regierungsebene meist auf Demokratisierungsbestrebungen der Bevölkerung gegen autoritäre Regime, Korruption und Misswirtschaft reduziert. Dass der Kampf ebenfalls gegen den durch Neoliberalisierung verursachten sozialen Zerfall geführt wird, bleibt häufig ebenso unerwähnt, wie die Verantwortung der Europäischen Union (EU) und der USA an ebendiesen Strukturen.
Schwedens beneidenswerte Lage im Anti-Corona-Kampf
Auch ist zu berücksichtigen, dass die Sterbefälle in Schweden dem langjährigen Durchschnitt entsprechen. Während der ersten 35 Wochen dieses Jahres gab es 620 Tote auf 100.000 Einwohner, womit die Zahlen der vorhergehenden Dekade fünfmal über- und fünfmal unterschritten wurden. Der höchste Wert wurde für 2012 mit 650 ermittelt, was ca. 3000 Todesfälle mehr als in diesem Jahr bedeutet. Damals grassierte eine schwere Influenza-Epidemie, die augenscheinlich mehr Opfer forderte als gegenwärtig das Sars-CoV-2-Virus.
Verschiebung des Unionsparteitags: Wie Corona-Politik gemacht wird
Merkel kann in der Politik noch nicht per Verordnung den Lockdown anordnen, da gibt es noch Ministerpräsidenten, mächtige Interessengruppen und Gerichte, eben die verschiedenen Schützengräben der bürgerlichen Demokratie. Im CDU-Vorstand aber kann sie noch durchregieren. So werden eben die Voraussetzungen geschaffen, dass der Vorstand nicht an den langjährigen Merkel-Kontrahenten Merz geht.
Election 2020 live updates: Trump heading to three states, as Biden plans two stops in Georgia
Tuesday is shaping up as a busy day on the campaign trail, as President Trump plans to stage rallies in three states — Michigan, Wisconsin and Nebraska — and Democratic nominee Joe Biden is scheduled to hold a pair of events in Georgia, a state that Republicans have carried in every White House contest since 1996.

LIVE 21:00 GMT | ALPHA 2 | US Vote 2020: Joe Biden Drive-In Rally In Atlanta
No campaign events for Joe Biden on Monday. Trump has three rallies in Pennsylvania.
Is Joe Biden Toast If He Loses Pennsylvania?
Is Pennsylvania a must-win for Biden?
No, not quite. It is close to being a must-win for Trump, who has only a 2 percent chance of winning the Electoral College if he loses Pennsylvania. Biden, however, has a bit more margin for error. He’d have a 30 percent chance if he lost Pennsylvania, which isn’t great but is also higher than, say, Trump’s overall chances on Election Day 2016.
Why Many Americans Don‘t Vote
In the survey, we asked voters who have missed at least one national election — which included some people who almost always vote — why they didn’t cast a ballot. Nearly a quarter cited some of the structural barriers we mentioned above. But another 31 percent said that they decided not to vote because they disliked the candidates or they thought nothing would change as a result of the election (26 percent).
That sense that the candidates are too flawed to be worth voting for — or that the system is rigged, or can’t be fixed by voting — came up in many of our conversations with survey respondents.
Democrats would destroy Supreme Court with scheme to pack justices
Litmus tests and the idea to pack the bench would not honor Ginsburg. They would instead destroy the Supreme Court she loved. These moves would obliterate an institution that has over history preserved the stability and continuity of our country. The Supreme Court has performed this vital role based on its legitimacy and authority with Americans that will surely evaporate if Democrats conduct litmus tests or pack the bench.
Expand the court.
If Democrats Can, Should They Pack US Supreme Court?
(20.10.2020)
The number of justices has changed over time, from six to as many as 10, but the number has remained steady at nine since 1869. In the 1930s, President Franklin D. Roosevelt tried to pack the court to preserve his New Deal legislation, which kept getting struck down by the high court. He failed.
Merz und der Machtkampf: „Söder wird nun zum Retter der CDU“
„Merz ist jetzt der Outlaw; Laschet, der bereits durch seine schwachen Auftritte in der Corona-Krise stark geschwächt ist, gilt jetzt auch noch als derjenige, der mit dem Establishment die Strippen zieht; und Röttgen hat ohnehin keine starke Verankerung in der Partei. Das ist für die ganze CDU ein GAU. Und es macht den ohnehin wahrscheinlichsten Kanzlerkandidaten nun fast unausweichlich: Markus Söder.“

Former Supreme Court judge Lord Sumption calls coronavirus curbs tyrannical and a ‚breathtaking‘ infringement of democratic rights
He is to say the methods used by ministers will undo the unity of society and will lead to long-term authoritarian government.
Lord Sumption will say that ministers avoided Parliament through the Public Health Act which let them introduce lockdowns and other measures without the same level of scrutiny by the House of Commons or Lords.
Giving the Cambridge Freshfields annual law lecture, he will accuse the Government of ‚tendentiously‘ presenting guidance as if it was law – such as the two-metre social distancing rule.
FIFTY Northern Tory MPs mount a lockdown revolt: Boris faces a ‚red wall‘ rebellion and demands for an ‚exit map‘ – as eight million people are plunged into toughest coronavirus restrictions with addition of Nottingham and Warrington to Tier 3
A letter to Boris Johnson from the Northern Research Group – a newly-launched alliance of Tory MPs led by ex-Northern Powerhouse minister Jake Berry – outlines the group‘s demands, which include a tailored economic recovery plan for the north.
Mr Berry says that the virus could widen the North-South divide and ‚send the North into reverse‘. His group is now calling for Mr Johnson to ‚level-up the North‘ – something the PM claimed he would do following sweeping Conservative gains in the region in the General Election.
Boris Johnson Hit by Lockdown Revolt From More Than 50 Tories
The MPs reminded Johnson of his promises to “level up” disadvantaged parts of the country, which helped persuade voters in former industrial heartlands last December to back his Tories instead of the opposition Labour Party many had supported for decades.
Der Untertan [The Subject]
This poster advertises the novel ‘Der Untertan’ (‘The Subject’) by Heinrich Mann (1871-1950), the first part of his trilogy, ‘Das Kaiserreich’ (‘The Empire’). The novel was banned in Germany during the First World War, owing to its criticism of the militarism and conservatism prevalent in Imperial German society. It was finally published, to much acclaim, in 1918. Heinrich’s younger brother, the novelist Thomas Mann, initially wrote in support of the war but later agreed with Heinrich. Both brothers left for America in the 1930s following the rise of the Nazis.

CDU-Parteitag: Online-Abstimmung rechtlich nicht möglich
Aber auch die Verschiebung des CDU-Parteitages in das Frühjahr 2021 ist rechtlich nicht unproblematisch. Laut § 9 Parteiengesetz tritt der Parteitag nämlich „mindestens in jedem zweiten Kalenderjahr einmal zusammen“. Nach § 11 hat die Vorstandswahl ebenfalls „mindestens in jedem zweiten Kalenderjahr“ zu erfolgen. Der letzte CDU-Parteitag mit Vorstandswahlen fand 2018 in Hamburg statt. So wäre eine Wahl im Jahr 2020 eigentlich verpflichtend.
