Eine erste Irritation im Umgang zwischen der DKP und der GLS-Bank trat im September auf. Eine Mitarbeiterin der GLS-Bank bat „dringend“ um „Informationen zu der Nutzung“ der Konten. Sie präzisierte in ihrer Mail: „Insbesondere benötige ich Informationen zu der Spendenaktion für Kuba.“ Die DKP stellte alle gewünschten Angaben fristgerecht zur Verfügung, erhielt aber auch auf Nachfrage, wozu die Informationen benötigt werden, keine Antwort. Stattdessen erfolgte die schriftliche Kündigung der DKP-Konten zum 31. Dezember. Danach waren die Verantwortlichen der Bank für die DKP nicht mehr zu sprechen.

As Epstein files release looms, questions abound on what happens next: ‘Possibilities are endless’
As the clock ticks toward the congressionally mandated deadline of 19 December by which Donald Trump’s justice department must release its files related to Jeffrey Epstein, there is intense speculation about the contents of these documents – but also questions as to what happens when they are released.

The road to conference
Our Founding Conference will be held in Liverpool on Saturday 29 and Sunday 30 November.
By mid-October our founding process will have begun in earnest – we have opened our membership portal, are initiating wide democratic debate and will soon publish draft versions of our four core founding documents: our Political Statement, Constitution, Rules, and Organisational Strategy.
We will host mass regional assemblies where thousands of members will come together to listen to each other, debate and revise the founding documents face to face. All members will be able to comment, suggest changes, and track how each document develops.
In November, thousands of in-person founding conference delegates will be chosen by lottery to ensure a fair balance of gender, region, and background. These delegates will have a big responsibility – to debate the founding documents, propose amendments and vote on them at the conference in Liverpool. The final decision will be up to all members through an online, secure, one-member-one-vote system.
After Trump signs Epstein files bill, focus shifts to release timeline
Under the measure, the Justice Department has 30 days to release the materials once the president signs it. If Trump signed the bill Wednesday, the deadline for release would be Dec. 19.
(…)
For any materials it chooses to withhold or redact, the DOJ is required to outline their justifications for doing so within 15 days of their public release.

Early riser! The Sun is already starting its next solar cycle
(July 19, 2024)
The current solar cycle, named Cycle 25 because it is the 25th since 1755 when extensive recording of solar sunspot activity began, started in 2019.
It is not expected to end for another six years but the first signs that the next solar cycle is beginning have been spotted by researchers from the University of Birmingham and presented at the Royal Astronomical Society‘s National Astronomy Meeting in Hull.
The next solar cycle – Solar Cycle 26 – is already beginning
(July 23, 2024)
Solar max affects activity on the sun’s surface. Sunspots, flares and coronal mass ejections are all more rampant at solar maximum. This leads to a surge in electromagnetic energy hurtling toward Earth, making auroras visible more often and at lower altitudes.
The current solar cycle – Cycle 25 – started in 2019. It has the name Cycle 25 because it’s the 25th since 1755, when extensive recording of solar sunspot activity began.
It is not expected to end for another six years, but researchers have spotted the first signs that the next solar cycle is beginning. Researchers from the University of Birmingham presented their findings at the Royal Astronomical Society’s National Astronomy Meeting in Hull on July 18, 2024.
Rumors swirl of a plot to oust Keir Starmer as the embattled British leader denies attacking his rivals
Lawmakers are also perplexed by the timing of the briefing. After an unsteady first 16 months in office left Starmer one of the most unpopular British prime ministers on record, Labour MPs had previously signaled that the prime minister would not face a serious leadership contest until after local elections in May 2026, giving his government time to reverse its decline in the polls.
Modi Vows Justice as Police Suspect Terrorism in Deadly New Delhi Blast
India frequently accuses Pakistan of being behind attacks on its soil, saying that they are orchestrated by groups operating from sanctuaries across the border. A deadly terrorist attack this spring that killed 26 people in the Indian-administered region of Kashmir led to days of military conflict between the nuclear-armed neighbors.
At the time, Mr. Modi’s government issued a warning that it would treat any future terrorist attack on its soil as an “act of war.”
Opinion | Inside The ‚Amendment‘ That May Make Asim Munir Pak‘s Supreme Authority
The 27th Constitutional Amendment Bill, tabled by Pakistan‘s federal government and passed by the Senate on November 10, is far from a routine procedural adjustment. It represents a structural reconfiguration of the Pakistani state. The provisions, now awaiting final approval from the National Assembly, will effectively formalise Pakistan‘s foundational transition from a de facto hybrid military system to a constitutional framework in which the military establishment holds a legally codified and dominant position.
U.S. Seeks Two-Year U.N. Mandate for Gaza Stabilization Force
It is not clear whether the draft would have enough support at the Security Council to be approved. Nine of the 15 members would need to vote in favor of it, and all five permanent members, including Russia and China, would have to abstain from a veto.
The draft is largely in line with Mr. Trump’s plan, which was first presented in September. It says the force would operate under the guidance of an international body known as the “Board of Peace,” and that its mandate would expire on Dec. 31, 2027. The draft suggests that date could be extended.
Scoop: U.S. seeks UN approval for Gaza security force with broad two-year mandate
The U.S. sent several UN Security Council members a draft resolution on Monday for the establishment of an international force in Gaza for a duration of at least two years, according to a copy obtained by Axios.
WATCH: Israeli attacks across Gaza threaten ceasefire
The attacks are the latest threat to the fragile US-brokered ceasefire, now in its third week. One Palestinian was killed and four wounded in a drone strike in Nuseirat while several others were hurt by Israeli fire in southern Gaza.

Palestinian prisoners transferred to 2 Israeli prisons ahead of planned release under Gaza ceasefire deal
Under the deal, 2,000 Palestinian prisoners — including 250 serving life sentences and 1,700 detained in Gaza since the war began in October 2023 — will be released in exchange for 48 Israeli hostages.

Israeli withdrawal in Gaza starts 72-hour clock for release of hostages
9 hr 27 min ago
Under the terms of the deal brokered by the US and other mediators, the redeployment means that over the next three days, and before the deadline of 12 p.m. local time on Monday, the hostages held by Hamas will be handed over, and nearly 2,000 Palestinian prisoners and detainees in Israel will be freed.
CENTCOM confirms IDF withdrawal to new Gaza deployment lines
US Central Command (CENTCOM) has confirmed that the IDF completed its withdrawal to the new agreed-upon deployment lines in Gaza, US Special Envoy for the Middle East Steve Witkoff says on X.
“The 72-hour period to release the hostages has begun,” he adds.

Another notable addition in Trump’s post is the claim that “I immediately directed Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to inform the Qataris of the impending attack, which he did, however, unfortunately, too late to stop the attack.”
Earlier, the statement read out by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt made a similar claim but did not include the line that the warning came “too late to stop the attack”.
Following Leavitt’s press briefing, Qatar said that reports that it was given advanced warning from the US of the Israeli attack on Doha are false and that US officials first warned Qatar of the attack 10 minutes after it had begun.
It’s therefore unclear what Trump means, as my colleague Robert Mackey notes, in that he seems to suggest that he both has the power to stop Israeli strikes, but for some reason did not have the power to stop the one that took place today.
Popeye Turbo
In May 2000 Israel is reported to have secretly carried out its first test launches from two German-built Dolphin-class submarines of cruise missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads. The missiles launched from vessels off Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean are said to have hit a target at a range of about 1,500 kilometers [about 930 statute miles]. Israel is reported to possess a 200kg nuclear warhead, containing 6kg of plutonium, that could be mounted on cruise missiles. (…)
The Popeye Turbo missile is probably similar to if not identical with the Israeli submarine-launced cruise missile carried on the Dolphin-class submarines.
Dolphin-class Submarines: Israel’s Undersea Arsenal
(June 2024)
Shrouded in secrecy, the Dolphin- and Dolphin II–class submarines are the primary naval assault power of the Israeli Defense Force. They provide the often-beleaguered nation an array of capabilities, ranging from intelligence collection and special operations support to antisurface warfare and deterrence patrols. Shayetet 7, the navy’s submarine unit, operates the current fleet of five (soon to be six) submarines out of Haifa. The first two boats—the Dolphin and Leviathan—were fully funded by Germany, while the cost for the third, the Tekuma, was shared equally between the two countries.
Israel in intense war on terror, Netanyahu says at scene of deadly Jerusalem attack
(September 8, 2025)
Netanyahu‘s criminal trial hearings at the Tel Aviv District Court, scheduled for Monday, were canceled after the terror shooting occurred.
Israel’s Netanyahu has decided on full occupation of Gaza, reports say
“The decision has been made,” Amit Sega, chief political analyst with Channel 12, quoted an unnamed senior official in Netanyahu’s office as saying.
“Hamas won’t release more hostages without total surrender, and we won’t surrender. If we don’t act now, the hostages will starve to death and Gaza will remain under Hamas’s control.”
