Led By Donkeys paint Russian Embassy road in Ukrainian flag colours
The protest in west London comes ahead of the first anniversary of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

I'm surprised they're allowed to do this. The Russian embassy in Montreal sent out third party security to deal with a recurring protestor.
If it was the Chinese embassy in Britain the diplomatic staff just come out themselves to deal with it.

Syria: Protests over growing economic hardship spread in south
Unrest has spread across government-held southern provinces since fuel subsidies were cut last week.
www.bbc.com
"Crowds have even been filmed calling for the fall of the president, with chants such as 'Long live Syria and down with Bashar al-Assad' echoing those of 2011 pro-democracy uprising that descended into civil war.
Some protesters have also been taking place in neighbouring Deraa province, where the 2011 uprising began but which was retaken by the government seven years later."
Just when everything was okay and he was welcomed back to the Arab League of Nations...

Right wing fascists alongside Arab Muslims in their common hatred for Jews.
And I thought two months ago when I saw a Trump 2020 white man and a woman in a burqa protesting against modern LGBTQ sex education programmes was bizzare enough.

Alec Baldwin escorted by police after heated confrontation at pro-Palestinian rally in NYC
Video of the shouting match showed a protester asking Baldwin if he condemns Israel and Baldwin replying, "You ask stupid questions," as he pushed into the demonstrator.
www.nbcnews.com
"A protester is heard asking Baldwin, 'You work for Hollywood, do you condemn Israel?'
'You’ve already made up your mind … every question you’ve got, right?' Baldwin replied. 'I’m in Hollywood’s pockets, you said? You ask stupid questions. Ask me a smart question! Ask a smart question!' as he pushed his body into that protester."
You would think if someone keeps getting periodically floated for charges because of Rust you would keep a low profile to show judges you're an upstanding citizen.

Brussels: Angry farmers launch manure and eggs at police near EU meeting in latest protest
Farmers are complaining about what they say is the slow death of agriculture, which is being killed off by red tape and competition from cheap imports made in countries with lower standards than those of the EU.

Toronto Police review pro-Palestinian protest that led to cancellation of Trudeau’s reception for Italian PM
The event was called off after several hundred pro-Palestinian protesters gathered outside the AGO, blocking doorways and making it difficult for guests to enter
www.theglobeandmail.com
"He said that he spent around an hour waiting across the road from the art gallery with a group of around 50 other guests.
He said they were eventually ushered through a narrow side door, as police held back protesters. Once inside the building, the guests were told not to leave, until after the event was cancelled around 8 p.m."
Interestingly across the street from the gallery is the Italian embassy (which weirdly is in Chinatown).
Genocide Trudeau!

Millions affected by German air and rail strikes
Strikes by train drivers and airport staff cause severe disruption to travellers across Germany.
www.bbc.com
"The German Train Drivers' Union (GDL) is demanding a reduction in the working week from 38 to 35 hours, without a pay cut, which Deutsche Bahn has refused."
Less work. Same pay!
"At Lufthansa, the Ver.di union - which represents some 25,000 airline ground staff - is demanding a 12.5% pay rise or at least €500 (£426)) more per month. The union also wants an inflation compensation bonus of €3,000.
The airline has offered to increase pay by 10%, after it announced on Thursday that its profits had doubled in 2023 to €1.67bn from €791m in 2022."
I predict a 2.5% gap with some other perks will be resolved.
