Only one party has sided vocally with the students since the very start: Jean-Luc MĂ©lenchon‘s far-left France Unbowed.
We ask whether that will consolidate his second place in the polls ahead of next spring‘s presidential elections. That would qualify MĂ©lenchon for the May 2 run-off against the far right‘s Marine Le Pen.
âICE is a rogue, lawless paramilitary and surveillance agency,â said Ocasio-Cortez, who has been named as a potential 2028 presidential candidate or a contender for US Senate in New York, where Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) is up for reelection in 2028.
âIt does not belong in New York City and it should not exist in the United States of America,â said Ocasio-Cortez. âAbolish ICE.â
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), another potential candidate for president in 2028, joined the congresswoman in calling for ICE to be abolishedâa demand once dismissed as a fringe viewpoint, but now shared by about half the country, including 77% of Democratic voters and 52% of independents.

The individual identified as the leader of the operation, a 68-year-old executive of an Israeli security firm, described in court the use of advanced monitoring techniques targeting the home of the children‘s father, Stephan Hensel.
According to court testimony, the surveillance extended beyond simple observation. The suspects allegedly installed electronic devices in the vicinity of the property as early as a year before forcibly retrieving the children. The objective of these actions was to gather information pertinent to an ongoing custody dispute between the parents.
The monitoring reportedly included both visual surveillance and attempts to intercept digital communications. The court heard that the suspects sought unauthorized access to the Hensel family‘s home network, aiming to monitor and potentially listen in on electronic traffic within the household. Despite efforts to extract information, including partial decryption of passwords, the surveillance team was unable to fully access the family‘s data.
…amid his arrest for treasonous espionage, noting Hanning introduced heiress Christina Block to CGI Groupâled by ex-Shin Bet chief Yaakov Periâto abduct her children from her ex-husband in Denmark and allegedly plant fake child abuse images.
âąHanning, who served on the board of another Israeli firm, faces charges including passing ~2,000 classified BND documents on Iranâs nuclear program and Russian forces; prosecutors confirmed the foreign service analysis was not for Russia, with the probe triggered by evidence from the Block kidnapping investigation.
âąThe October 6, 2026 arrests of Hanning and ex-BND employee Manfred D. stem from a Hamburg search in the Block case that uncovered unauthorized classified materials dating to 2022, years after Hanning left office.

The report said that the kidnappers âhit the father and dragged his 10-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter into a forest and through a stream before putting them into a car.â
âThe childrenâs mouths were taped shut and one of them was tied up. It was also claimed that the kidnappers threatened to kill the children if they made noise,“ it added.
According to Haaretz, one of the hijackers, an Israeli, was arrested in the Greek Cypriot Administration, and extradited to Germany, where he is currently on trial.
Two other Israelis suspected of involvement have fled Germany, the daily reported.
Perry, 81, told the German court he âwould agree to testify about Hanningâs role in the case if he was granted confidentiality.â

Judges reportedly warned that revealing further details could harm Germanyâs security interests, prompting the decision to exclude the public and media from further sessions.
The court noted that the case now extends beyond a private family dispute and could affect diplomatic relations between Germany and Israel. Officials also discussed transferring elements of the file to national security authorities, though proceedings remain within the jurisdiction of the Hamburg court.

AuĂerdem sollen Hanning und sein GeschĂ€ftspartner gemeinsam mit Block geplant haben, „den Kindesvater und dessen familienrechtlichen Beistand durch wahrheitswidrige VorwuÌrfe aus dem Bereich der PaÌdophilie zu diskreditieren.“ Hierzu soll nach Erkenntnissen der GenStA eine Festplatte mit weit uÌber 500 kinderpornografischen Bild- und Videodateien auf dessen WohngelaÌnde platziert worden sein. Ein israelisches Sicherheitsunternehmen habe diese Festplatte beschafft.
(…)
Das israelische Sicherheitsunternehmen steht wiederum im Verdacht, die Kinder in der Silvesternacht 2023/2024 aus DĂ€nemark entfĂŒhrt zu haben. Wegen dieser VorwĂŒrfe findet derzeit das Strafverfahren vor dem Landgericht Hamburg statt.
Hanning steht unter Verdacht, in den Komplex rund um die EntfĂŒhrung der beiden jĂŒngsten Block-Kinder beim Vater in DĂ€nemark verstrickt gewesen zu sein. Im Zuge dessen hatten Ermittlerinnen und Ermittler vor einem Jahr sein Haus und GeschĂ€ftsrĂ€ume durchsuchen lassen, um Beweismaterial zu finden.
(…)
AuĂerdem wird Hanning vorgeworfen, dass er zusammen mit einem ehemaligen Beamten des Landeskriminalamtes dem Ex-Mann von Christina Block, Stefan Hensel, gefaktes kinderpornografisches Material untergeschoben hat, um ihn zu diskreditieren. Hanning selbst bestreitet das alles. Beim Versuch, das aufzuklĂ€ren, gab es dann offenbar den Zufallsfund in seinem Haus, der die Geschichte noch sehr viel brisanter macht.

Die Konzertkundgebung âUnzwingbar â Kein Bock auf Krieg und Wehrpflichtâ am 2. Oktober 2026 in Berlin hat ein starkes Zeichen fĂŒr Zusammenhalt, gegen AufrĂŒstung und gegen die Wehrpflicht gesetzt.
Mehr als 20.000 zumeist junge Menschen haben vor dem Brandenburger Tor in den Abend hinein zu Musik von K.I.Z, Disarstar, Dritte Wahl, Goldie 333 und Mieze getanzt und protestiert. Bis nach 21 Uhr wurde der Platz vor dem Brandenburger Tor immer noch voller.
Viele Teilnehmende trugen Schilder, auf denen sie unter anderem eine StĂ€rkung von Bildung, Gesundheit und Sozialstaat statt blinder AufrĂŒstung forderten. Die RedebeitrĂ€ge, die die Militarisierung in vielen Bereichen der Gesellschaft kritisierten, eine lebenswerte Zukunft fĂŒr junge Menschen einforderten und eindringliche Zeugnisse von Verweigerung des MilitĂ€rdienstes ablegten, wurden mit Begeisterung aufgenommen.
Der ehemalige deutsche Europaabgeordnete der Piratenpartei, Patrick Breyer, sieht darin klar âMassenĂŒberwachung unter anderem Namenâ. Ziel von Rat, Kommission und einigen Mitgliedstaaten sei es, âMassenĂŒberwachung in ganz Europa dauerhaft zu normalisierenâ.
Der Vorschlag, âTeile eines Dienstesâ zu scannen, wĂŒrde in der Praxis bedeuten, dass âjeder Nutzer in der EUâ betroffen wĂ€re, so Breyer.
Zudem handle es sich nicht um ein neues System, das das alte ersetze, sondern um eines, das parallel dazu existieren wĂŒrde. Das alte System sei eine âerwiesene Katastropheâ: In Deutschland richteten sich ĂŒber die HĂ€lfte der Ermittlungen gegen MinderjĂ€hrige wegen âeinvernehmlichen Sextingsâ, wĂ€hrend 75 Prozent der gemeldeten Chats ânicht verwertbarâ seien.
As Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez weighs whether to run for president in 2028, there are numerous factors that complicate her decision: her identity as a Latina woman, her role as a leader in a progressive movement on the verge of unprecedented power, and her considerations about raising a family in the future.
Whatever decision the 36-year-old Democratic congresswoman makes, however, it will be âall or nothing,â she said in an interview published Tuesday by The New York Times, in which she spoke candidly about the stakes of what would be a historic and potentially transformative bid for the nationâs highest office.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has said she will weigh the decision of whether to run for president after the midterm elections. The decision is clearly already weighing on her.
In an interview with The New York Times, Ms. Ocasio-Cortez revealed the electoral equations she is crunching and the mental âmathâ she is calculating as she approaches the biggest crossroads of her political career.

KFAR REMMAN, LebanonââThey are killing children. Thatâs what theyâre doing,â Baker Malak said, pointing to the tiny coffins being carried through the streets of the town of Kfar Remman in southern Lebanon on Tuesday. He walked alongside hundreds of mourners in a funeral procession to bury 12 members of a single family, half of them children, killed in an Israeli airstrike on their home a day earlier.
Nearby, mourners carried the coffin of 18-year-old paramedic Ali Shahrour, killed in a separate strike on the town the same day. The procession wound through streets scarred by months of bombardment as an Israeli drone buzzed incessantly overhead
„On the day he was killed, he was restless in the afternoon and wanted to go outside. I told his sisters how much I wished I could take him out, but there are no places left for children to play.“
„He spent his whole life indoors. Even his cousins had been killed in Israeli air strikes, so he had no one to play with.“

Hundreds of thousands of these cockroach protesters had been assembling for over a month at Jantar Mantar, which is less than half a mile south of Connaught Place, the central market in the heart of Delhi. They were demanding the resignation of Pradhan, who is also a senior leader in Indiaâs ruling Bharatiya Janata Party, the party of Modi. The protesters at Jantar Mantar consider Pradhan to be responsible for failing to prevent âpaper leaksââthe unauthorized release of highly competitive national college entrance examinations, often hours and sometimes minutes before the exam is due.
The Jantar Mantar movement emerged in May in response to a leak of the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), the countrywide medical entrance exam. Reports suggest at least a dozen students across the country died by suicide after the tests were canceled.
CJP leader Dipke said ending the protest did not mean the movement had ended. „This is just the beginning. The Cockroach Janata Party has a long way to go,“ he write on X.
He also demanded compensation for the families of students who died by suicide amid the examination controversy.
„Dharmendra Pradhan has resigned. But the families of the children who committed suicide should receive compensation of one crore rupees. They should get it. One crore rupees compensation to all those families,“ Dipke said.

Israel‘s US-backed assault on Gaza has left more than 250,000 Palestinians dead, maimed, or missing since October 2023 and around 2 million people forcibly displaced, starved, or sickened. Over 21,500 childrenâ1,022 of them babiesâare among the more than 73,000 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces during the war that scholars, jurists, human rights groups, a panel of United Nations experts, and others say is a genocide.
Israel is facing a genocide case filed by South Africa at the International Court of Justice and supported by nearly 20 nations, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallantâhis former defense minister who ordered the „complete siege“ on Gaza that fueled famine and diseaseâare wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes, including murder and forced starvation.

Was die Bundesregierung hier plant, ist ein grundlegender Umbau der deutschen Sicherheitsarchitektur. Geheimdienste sollen hacken, manipulieren, aktiv eingreifen und MinderjĂ€hrige als Informanten einsetzen dĂŒrfen. Wer ihnen solche Befugnisse einrĂ€umt, verschiebt die Grenzen staatlicher Macht weit in Richtung eines ĂŒbergriffigen Sicherheitsstaates.
Die Bundesregierung will den Entwurf spĂ€testens Anfang August durch das Bundeskabinett bringen. Jetzt gilt es, laut zu werden. Kubickis Appell ist eindeutig: Die PlĂ€ne âsind ohne Beispiel in einer liberalen Demokratie und mĂŒssen gestoppt werdenâ.
56. On 24 January 2024, at around 08:30, a family was preparing to evacuate from their ground-floor apartment in a seven-storey building at al-Amal, west of Khan Younis, following receipt of an evacuation order by the Israeli security forces. The father noticed quadcopters hovering over the area and presence of the Israeli security forces about 100 meters east of their house, instructing people to head west to Al-Mawasi in Khan Younis. His 15-year-old son stepped out of the house holding a white cloth, when the father, who was inside the house, heard a gunshot from the eastern side where Israeli soldiers were located. The boy was hit in the left foot, and he fell on his face. As he attempted to stand, two more gunshots were fired within seconds from the same direction. One shot hit the boy on his back and another on the left side of his neck. Seeing this, the boyâs 20-year-old brother ran towards him and was also shot on the left side of his chest. He collapsed on top of his younger brother.
57. The victimsâ mother waved her hands at the south side window to signal for an ambulance when the Israeli security forces fired bullets which hit her too, slightly injuring her in her left hand. The father tried several times to pull away the bodies of both his sons but, every time he tried to advance towards them, the Israeli security forces fired in his direction. He then left the neighbourhood with the rest of his family. In early March 2024, he learned that two days after the incident, an ambulance arrived to retrieve his sonsâ bodies. To date, the family is unaware where the bodies are buried.
58. The Commission assesses that the 15-year-old boy holding the white flag was shot by Israeli soldiers using a DAN.338 calibre bolt-action sniper rifle, commonly used by Israeli snipers, from a position located around 200 metres away. Given that sniper rifles used by the Israeli security forces normally have a precision accuracy range of more than 1,200 metres, the Israeli shooter should have been able to see that the target was a child and that he was holding a white flag. The additional two shots fired after the boy was hit were likely meant to ensure that he was dead. The additional killing of the boyâs brother points to a deliberate effort by the Israeli security forces to target the boy as well as any person that came to retrieve him. The Commission could not find any indication of a threat towards members of the Israeli security forces from the familyâs location. The Commission finds that the Israeli security forcesâ 98th Division were operating in the area at the time of the incident.
Injuring of a 10-day-old baby by quadcopter inside the tent in Nuseirat camp
59. On 12 April 2024 at 13:00, a 10 day-old-baby boy was shot by a quadcopter while being breastfed by his mother inside their tent in Nuseirat camp. The mother was alone in the tent, breastfeeding her baby, when a single bullet from a quadcopter hit the baby in the head and exited through the back of his head, hitting the pillow behind her. The baby survived but sustained brain injuries and now suffers from seizures.
60. The Commission viewed and analysed images of the bullet that hit the baby. The Commission concluded on reasonable grounds that the bullet was fired from a sniper rifle mounted on a quadcopter. Considering that the shooting occurred in broad daylight, the
Commission concludes that the quadcopter controller would have been able to see inside the tent and assesses that the target was a mother and a baby.

Press conference with the Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem, and in Israel, to launch their latest report.
Description
Speakers:
– Srinivasan Muralidhar, Chair of the Commission
– Florence Mumba, Commissioner
– Chris Sidoti, Commissioner
Last year, the commission concluded that âIsrael had committed genocide against the Palestinian group in the Gaza Strip, found that the intense scale and systematic nature of the Israeli military operations have continued, resulting in unprecedented death, injury and trauma of Palestinian children.â
Here are some findings in the commissionâs latest report:
– Israel has killed 20,000 children and injured 44,000 more since 7 October 2023
– Severe physical and mental injuries, mass trauma, orphanhood, separation, disability, repeated displacements, starvation and the collapse of education and healthcare have erased childhood and will continue to affect children in Gaza throughout their lives
– Palestinian children have been arrested and subjected to torture and other severe forms of mistreatment in Israeli prisons and detention facilities, with no information on their whereabouts
– Israeli security forces have used sexual violence against children as part of the collective shaming and oppression, entrenched within a prolonged, ethnic, gendered and intergenerational pattern of occupation and hostilities
