While heads of state and government gathered in Prague sent a signal of unity to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin, the Austrian chancellor showed a lack of sensitivity to historic moments.

Images make history – this simple statement in itself does not seem to have reached Karl Nehammer. During his visit yesterday to the founding meeting of the European Political Community, the Austrian chancellor missed the moment it really was: namely the joint photograph of the participants, which was intended to be a message of unity: 44 representatives of European democracies attended the Castle of Prague to signal to Russian dictator Vladimir Putin that the continent will not be divided in the face of Russian aggression. 42 of them finally made it to the historic family photo.

Of the two absentees, Mette Frederiksen clearly had the better excuse, as the Danish head of government had to deal with the disintegration of her coalition and set a date for new elections. And Chancellor Nehammer? He was late in Prague for a press conference on the army budget.

At this point, it could be argued that symbolic photos don’t win wars or fire boilers, and that the subsequent bilateral conversations about Hradschin, at which Nehammer was present, were actually the most important part of the meeting. But with his decision, the chancellor showed that he lacks a sense of political timing-and historical moments. It probably wouldn’t be a disadvantage if the ÖVP president occasionally thought of the wisdom of the last CPSU president, Mikhail Gorbachev: “Those who arrive too late will be punished with life.”

Brussels bomb survivor opts for euthanasia after depression

Latest News / Ashley Cornell, email: [email protected]

A survivor of the 2016 Brussels airport terrorist attack chose euthanasia after six years of mental suffering. Shanti De Corte, 23, was diagnosed with major depression and had constant episodes of panic attacks.

The terrorist attack on Brussels Airport claimed more than 30 lives and injured 300. When the first bomb exploded, Shanti was in the airport departure hall with school friends before a trip to Italy.

Two more explosions were detonated. Shanti, then 17 years old, was able to escape from the scene of the crime unharmed.

She attended a psychiatric hospital for rehabilitation and also took antidepressants. In an interview with Belgian broadcaster VRT, Shanti’s mother, Marielle, said she attempted suicide twice, in 2018 and 2020.

In early 2022, Shanti opted for euthanasia citing “unbearable psychiatric suffering.” The procedure is legal in Belgium.

“That day really broke her, she never felt safe after that,” Marielle said. “She didn’t want to go anywhere other people were out of fear. She also had frequent panic attacks and never got rid of them.”

She died on May 7 following a psychiatric evaluation.

On social media, Shanti spoke openly about mental health. In a post quoted by The Mirror newspaper, she wrote: “I’m on up to 11 antidepressants a day. I couldn’t live without her. With all the meds I’m on, I feel like a ghost that doesn’t feel anything anymore.”

“Maybe there were solutions other than drugs,” he added.

Belgium authorizes euthanasia for persons who are “in a medically hopeless state of chronic and unbearable physical or mental suffering, which cannot be relieved and which is the result of a serious and incurable disorder, caused by illness or accident”.

Chanel Totti the crazy photo of Ilary Blasis daughter today

Headlights always aimed Ilary Blasi and Francesco Toti. But in this case too Chanel Toti, the daughter. Yes, because most of them have noticed how mother and daughter are more and more two drops of water. The resemblance was very strong. But now it’s really impressive.

Yes, because Chanel has radically changed her appearance, changing hair color: He made her blonde, very blonde, just like mother Ilary. And he proudly presented the result on his Instagram page. Now it’s really two drops of water.

Totti, the first recordings with Noemi Bocchi: where he took them. For Ilary, the humiliation never ended

The photo was taken by the hairdresser, in the Eur district in Rome where she curled up: very light blonde and a perfect crease. Perhaps there is also a signal behind the election: a new page, a new life after the certainly painful moment of his parents’ separation, at the center of thousands of controversies surrounding the way they said goodbye.

Florence Pugh and Raffey Cassidy turn heads at the Netflix Awards Brunch during the London Film Festival

Entertainment News / Ashley Cornell, email: [email protected]

Florence Pugh drew attention while attending the Netflix Awards Brunch during the 66th BFI London Film Festival at 180 The Strand on Saturday.

The 26-year-old actress looked incredible in a turquoise velvet jumpsuit with bell bottoms, which she wore with oversized bronze starfish earrings.

Meanwhile, Raffey Cassidy, 20, turned heads in a yellow plaid jacket and matching pencil skirt as she elevated her body in a pair of black heels.

Looking good: Florence Pugh (L) wore a flared turquoise velvet jumpsuit while Raffey Cassidy (R) turned heads in a yellow check outfit at Saturday’s Netflix Awards Brunch in London

Florence then posed with her co-star in The Wonder, Kila Lord Cassidy, which will be released on the streaming service on November 16.

Her role will be the actress’ first following the ongoing controversy surrounding her previous project, Don’t Worry Darling.

The film follows her character, English nurse Lib Wright, who travels to Ireland to take care of a girl who has miraculously survived months without food.

Chic: Actress Florence, 26, looked incredible in a turquoise velvet jumpsuit with bell bottoms, which she wore with oversized bronze starfish earrings

Out of this world: Florence and Raffey looked like supermodels at the lavish party

Friends: Florence then posed with her co-star in The Wonder, Kila Lord Cassidy, which will be released on the streaming service on November 16

Stylish: Kila looked trendy in a gray ruffle dress and carried a pink handbag with it

The official synopsis reads: ‘The Irish Midlands, 1862 – a young girl stops eating but miraculously survives and does well. English nurse Lib Wright is taken to a tiny village to observe eleven-year-old Anna O’Donnell’.

“Tourists and pilgrims gather to witness the girl believed to have survived months without food. Does the village harbor a saint who “lives on the manna of heaven,” or are there more sinister motives at work?”.

Based on the novel by Emma Donoghue, the psychological thriller is inspired by the 19th-century phenomenon of the ‘fasting girl’.

Friends: Raffey was joined by a pal, who cut a suave figure in a green t-shirt and navy trousers

Walk: Florence (center) was joined by AMPAS President Janet Yang and CEO Bill Kramer

What a couple! Johanna Whitehead (L) and Molly Whitehall (R) presented colorfully

Team: The pair were soon joined by Jason Solomons for a photo op

The film, starring Tom Burke, Toby Jones, Kila Lord Cassidy and Niamh Algar, is directed by Oscar winner Sebastián Lelio.

It’s set amid recent ‘Miss Flo’ drama during her last film DWD, where director Olivia Wilde referred to her as such during a leaked phone conversation with then-co-star Shia LaBeouf.

A report from Page Six in late July claimed Florence was upset with Olivia for hooking up with lead actor Harry Styles during production – while she was still engaged to Jason Sudeikis – before they split in November.

Beaming: Alisha Weir (left) smiled stunningly for the camera and Kila (right) seemed in her element

Group: She was joined by film producer Eric Fellner and a guest

Glamorous: Sindhu Vee looked upon this world and Matthew Warchus cut a suave figure

Wow! AMPAS President Janet Yang (L) and Sandy Powell (R) posed for snaps

Fashionista: Rhoda Ofori-Attah put on a stunning show and David Harewood looked chic

“I can tell you for sure that when Flo saw Olivia and Harry on set, he didn’t go down well as Olivia was still with Jason when she first met Harry,” the source said.

Others have noted that Florence has been sparse in posting about the film on her social media accounts, which has also fueled rumors of on-set friction.

The actress missed the photocall for the film during the Venice Film Festival earlier this month and kept her distance from the director on the red carpet.

Delighted: Tim Minchin, Matthew, Alisha and Sindhu (left to right) posed together

In their element: Janet, Bill and Gurinder Chadha (LR) were enthusiastic

In conversation: Alejandro González Iñárritu, Daniel Giménez Cacho and Eddie Redymayne (LR) exchanged ideas

Friends: Misan Harriman and Misan Sagay smile for the camera

Siblings: Kila and her brother Lynott Lord Cassidy posed for a cute shot

Asked by an Italian journalist at the event what she found “inspiring” about the film, Florence appeared to sneakily attack Olivia.

She replied: “I find it very, very inspiring to see a woman push back and say ‘no’ and question everything. It’s very exciting to see a woman do that in front of and behind the camera.”

When asked when she says “no” off-camera, Pugh jokingly replied, “When do I say ‘no’? If someone says I can’t have cake.’

Posing: Janet looked radiant in snaps from the event and Nicholas Pinnock looked smart

What a couple! Amalia Kassai and Sebastián Lelio opted for trendy displays

Impressively dressed: Tobias Lindholm was there too

Dressed up: Eddie looked his best for his performance

Rumors of tensions intensified after Olivia suggested Florence should have a “wake-up call” in a leaked video this month.

The video was leaked after Shia refuted Olivia’s claim that he was fired from the project, and in the footage, Wilde can be heard encouraging LaBeouf to stay with the film rather than leave, while also addressing some apparent tensions alludes to Florence.

Olivia gave an interview to Variety in which she said Shia LaBeouf’s trial was “not conducive to the ethos that I demand in my productions” after the role was eventually recast with her now-boyfriend, Harry.

Buddy: Tobias and Eddie seemed in high spirits

Edgy: Eddie’s brown shirt featured chic black leaf prints

Trio: Festival Director of the BFI London Film Festival Tricia Tuttle, Akua Gyamfi and Misan Sagay (LR) met

Relaxed: Tim Minchin (L) wore a black top and matching coat, while Kris Thykier (R) wore a colorful scarf

In response, Shia provided alleged evidence to refute Wilde’s claims, including an email he sent to the director and a video she allegedly sent him to prove he left the film rather than being fired will.

Shia claims he “left the film due to lack of rehearsal time” on August 17, 2020 and forwarded two emails to Variety that he allegedly sent to Wilde recently.

Some studio sources have told the publication that Shia was fired, while another said his departure was due to a “collective realization that LaBeouf’s acting style didn’t sit well with Wilde’s approach as a director.”

Threesomes: Stephen Daldry, Kris and Colin Vaines (LR) were present

Sensational: Matthias Schweighöfer and Ruby O. Fee posed for photographers

Out of this world: Clare Stewart caused a stir with a very chic blouse

Malu Mader had serious health issues and covered it all in a revealing interview

Malu Mader, one of the greatest artists of teledramaturgy, said that she went through difficult moments in her life. Currently, at the peak of her 56 years, the actress has decided to move away from the soap operas globe since 2016.

The powerful account was made in an interview for the W/Cast podcast, and the actress recalled her journey through head surgery in 2005 to remove a cyst.

Malu Mader showed that the whole process brought about a change in her life:

“That’s what I noticed, some behavior changes. I put it down to what I went through (surgery), which of course moved you,” explained the actress, who has played numerous roles on the Globo network.

“Not that I became anyone else. A kind of soap opera that wakes you up. But there have been many significant changes, and since then I’ve been curious and observant of all things brain and science,” said Malu Mader.

About the academic life mixed with the scenes of the Globo soap operas, Malu Mader explains:

“I took the entrance exam for literature and sociology. I studied the first a bit, but that was right around the time I started doing a lot of TV. I’ve had a bit of a professional crisis, but not in the sense of doubting whether I like being an actress or not,” said the actress, touched.

New deal with Disney+

Malu Mader showed that she is really ready to return to teledramaturgy when she signed a contract with Disney + streaming to live the character Elis, part of the work Mila in the multiverse.

In this new work, which is still in development, Malu Mader will play the 16yearold mother of the protagonist Mila.

Iran’s courageous young women must break their own chains. The West will not help | Simon Tisdal

Latest News / Ashley Cornell, email: [email protected]

In Hong Kong, millions of people took to the streets in 2019/20 to oppose the repressive measures of an authoritarian regime. But ultimately, their voices were silenced, their leaders imprisoned, and China stripped of its democratic rights — while Western leaders looked on, wringing their hands.

Nationwide protests erupted in Belarus when a cruel dictator stole the 2020 election. The UN said hundreds of people had been mistreated, tortured and raped. But dictator Alexander Lukashenko, backed by his vile sidekick in Moscow, defiantly remains in power.

In Myanmar last year, the army launched a coup and replaced elected politicians with a military junta. Its boss, General Min Aung Hlaing, is accused of overseeing the genocide and ethnic cleansing of the Rohingya minority – but has so far gotten off scot-free.

It’s a pattern that’s repeating itself with frightening frequency around the world. Just look at the Arab Spring “revolutions” in Syria and Egypt. People rise, people get knocked down – and Western democracies finally accept the new old reality and scream bad.

Is this the fate that now awaits the young women of Iran who have bravely taken the lead to challenge the recent deadly excesses of Tehran’s morally bankrupt regime? As in other countries, Iran’s 1979 revolution defeated one tyrant only to put another in his place.

But today’s nationwide protests defy brutal crackdowns and are unusual in several respects. While most appear to be led by young women and schoolgirls, assisted by young men, a wide range of ages, ethnic groups and social classes are represented.

The uprising has no leaders, organizations or manifestos other than “Women, Life, Freedom” – a slogan signaling the collective commitment to human rights, freedom of expression and democratic self-determination. No wonder this abominable regime cannot understand.

What is most striking is that the women show no fear. They refuse to be intimidated (or covered up). These energetic younger generations don’t care about the Islamic Republic’s 43-year history of grand plans, broken promises, and bloody wars. For them it is corrupt, anachronistic and irrelevant.

The riots also have nothing to do with “alien conspiracies” – the regime’s hackneyed, overarching excuse for failure. It has everything to do with higher education, the internet and social media, globalized culture and the denial of personal and professional freedoms that are the accepted norm elsewhere.

After years of pregnancy and several agonizing false starts, grassroots politics has arrived in Iran

Whether the mullahs realize it or not, these brave young women are Iran’s future. They can no longer be silenced, closed off, and forcibly isolated from the world. You are connected. You live in the era of #MeToo and Black Lives Matter. You know it, celebrate it.

After years of pregnancy and several agonizing false starts, grassroots politics has arrived in Iran. It sets an agenda for change. And you can’t put that genie back in the bottle. For the supreme leader, arch-reactionary Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and for his placeholder president Ebrahim Raisi, the message is clear: back down or “disappear”.

Next week or next year, sooner or later, the second Iranian revolution is coming. The wheel turns again. And over time, no amount of killing, imprisonment, censorship and threats, no amount of shaming of young women, no futile effort to insist on the obligatory hijab – that potent symbol of revolt – can stop it.

However, the Shia clerical oligarchy will not readily embrace this dawning reality. It will fight back in any way it can. Its victims, like the heroic, much-persecuted women’s rights lawyer Nasrin Sotoudeh, know how viciously the regime holds on to its beliefs, prejudices and power.

And yet, as Shirin Ebadi, one of Iran’s first female judges and a 2003 Nobel Peace Prize laureate, observed, the struggle is not with Islam, but with those who exploit and distort it for their own ends. Men like the theocratic founding dictator of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini.

“An interpretation of Islam that is consistent with equality and democracy is an authentic expression of faith,” Ebadi wrote in her 2006 book Iran Awakening. “It is not religion that binds women, but the selective dictates of those who desire them in seclusion.”

Iran’s women’s revolt comes amid heightened scrutiny of women’s subjugation and abuse in Muslim countries. The Saudi government drew well-earned slurs in August after the outrageous jailing of Leeds University student Salma al-Shehab for her use of Twitter for 34 years.

In Afghanistan, the Taliban’s misogynistic dictates, such as the closure of girls’ schools, have dashed hopes of international acceptance. The nightmare world of 1990s Kabul, revealed in Khaled Hosseini’s A Thousand Splendid Suns, is back with a vengeance.

But in developing countries there are positive examples of confident Muslim women taking responsibility. I’ve seen it myself, in a woman-run village crab shop in the Bay of Bengal in Bangladesh, an agricultural collective in Mindanao in the Philippines and a domestic violence support group in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

In Idlib, north-west Syria, women have taken the leading role in providing education, food distribution and health care to those fleeing the civil war. It’s a huge cultural shift – and seems to be permanent.

Seen in this more hopeful context, it is clear that Iran’s women are not the only ones challenging the archaic shibboleths of male-dominated societies. And today’s upheavals are part of a continuum. Iran has changed massively since my first visit in 1977. The emancipation process is slow and uneven, but there is no reverse gear.

Obviously, the Iranian regime will not go quietly or quickly. So what will the West do? As mentioned, recent history suggests: not much. A few tough words here, a few sanctions there, and the global caravan moves on.

That’s no surprise. And it’s a hard truth. Iran has many friends and benefactors abroad who will do what they can. But for their second revolution to succeed, the Iranians must first rely on themselves.

Cobalt Mine Near Salmon Holds Opening Ceremony

Business News / Ashley Cornell, email: [email protected]

SALMON (KIVI TV) – An opening ceremony for a new cobalt mine was held near Salmon on Friday, marking a significant day for the metal’s domestic supply chain.

Australian mining company Jervois Global Limited has officially opened operations, but the mine will not operate at full capacity until the first quarter of 2023, according to Matt Lengerich, executive general manager of Idaho Cobalt Operations.

“When we start full operations, we will produce approximately 2000 tons of cobalt concentrate each year. So that’s enough for around 400,000 electric vehicles,” said Lengerich.

The mine is located on US Forest Service land approximately 40 miles west of Salmon and is on track to become the only primary cobalt operation in the country.

The Idaho Cobalt Belt presents an opportunity for American companies to more safely access the critical materials needed by various industries.

However, the current supply of the mineral used in electric vehicles, power generation and defense applications comes primarily from Africa and is processed and refined in China. The foreign missions have come under criticism for human rights violations. UNICEF estimates that thousands of children work in artisanal mines in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

According to Lengerich, the cobalt concentrate produced at the Jervois mine in Idaho will be shipped to Brazil for processing.

“Currently, there is no domestic cobalt refinery in the United States. At the moment, our only option is to take our cobalt concentrate overseas.”

“It’s an obvious military target” for Ukrainians, according to one geopolitician

Latest News / Ashley Cornell, email: [email protected]

A fire broke out on the morning of Saturday, October 8, on the Crimean Bridge, which connects the peninsula annexed by Russia to the mainland. According to the Russian National Counter-Terrorism Committee, the fire happened after “a truck exploded,” killing three people. Inaugurated in 2018 after Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014, this bridge across the Kerch Strait is a key communications axis for the Russian army, particularly for ongoing military operations in southern Ukraine, where it suffered from the Ukrainian counter-offensive.

“This bridge is an obvious military target” for the Ukrainians, Cyrille Bret, geopolitician and researcher at the Jacques Delors Institute, responds to franceinfo. For the Ukrainian authorities, this 18-kilometer bridge is “a symbol of the illegal occupation and annexation of Crimea. It is a clear symbol of Russia’s desire to annex part of Ukraine’s territory,” he adds. Traffic on the Crimean Bridge is currently “restricted” and Russian authorities say road and rail lines are damaged.

“It is an essential infrastructure for the economic integration of Crimea into the Russian Federation: without this bridge, Crimea would be a kind of island off the coast of the Federation.”

“This explosion is a bit like breaking the umbilical cord that the Russian powers and Vladimir Putin himself wanted to establish between Crimea and the proper territory of the Russian Federation,” he adds. The peninsula is connected to the mainland only by the Perekop Isthmus to the north between Crimea and the Kherson region, which was annexed by Russia after a disputed referendum. The 18-kilometer bridge connects the mainland and the Russian Federation in the east, towards the Krasnodar province.

The bridge is both a road bridge and a railway bridge. Even if the authorities downplay the consequences of this fire in their press releases, according to Cyrille Bret, the “civilian and military supply chains in Crimea” will be affected. “Everything that Crimea lacks is transported over this bridge: building materials, food… Economically, Crimea is a somewhat underdeveloped area. After the annexation, before the bridge opened, Russia used ships to transport military equipment to Crimea.

Cyrille Bret also recalls the symbol of this bridge, which was directly intended by Vladimir Putin. “It’s $3 billion and an inauguration with much fanfare in 2018 by the president himself,” he points out. We recall that the Kerch Strait is a true symbol of Russia’s desire to annex a whole part of Ukraine’s territory, not only Crimea, but also the province north of that of Mariupol.
