In the past year, I’ve been to two Spanish-speaking regions that I did not expect to remind me of Wales, and they reminded me of Wales. And to one that I did expect to remind me of Wales, and it was totally different from Wales.

Ukraine steps up campaign to strike deep into Russia • FRANCE 24 English YouTube video by FRANCE 24 English

My latest report for #France24 is about Ukraine’s long-range drone strikes on targets in Russia. I saw them taking off. It was cold!

Please note that some drones are big, like unmanned aeroplanes, and others are small like toys, but also deadly.

These are big ones

In Canada more people voted for the Liberal centre in reaction to Trump. Might Trump put enough of the French and other Europeans off the populist right too?

I’ve been saying for a while that I sometimes feel more angry with Americans for not protesting than I do with Russians, cos Russians (in Russia) risk their lives if they do…

Terrifying how quickly that’s got less true

"I am Puerto Rican," she says. "I send my kids with their passports to school. I'm having conversations with them about safety: Am I safe at school? A week ago we had an incident where there was a school bus with the STOP sign open and kids were getting on the bus and it was surrounded by ICE agents. And this is 7:20 in the morning and - just - you get that fight-or-flight response." At first her 9-year-old was carrying her passport in her backpack; now it's in her back pocket. "I have to prepare them for it if they get stopped," she says. "I said, Do not engage. This is not the time to be cussing at anyone. But she said, Mom, if I create enough noise, my friends can get away."

Opinion | Stop sanewashing Donald Trump’s incoherent ramblings It's well past time to call Trump’s stream-of-consciousness monologues exactly what they are.

www.ms.now/opinion/trum...

Totally.

Ukraine has a higher-than-average proportion of sanewashers. Maybe cos when they read it in translation it’s gone through some kind of preliminary rinse.

Top Ukrainian energy official killed at electrical substation Top Ukrainian energy worker Oleksii Brekht was killed while on the job, after reportedly being electrocuted at a substation.

I think most Ukrainians didn’t know his name until he died.

But they sure as hell knew his work.

What a tragedy

No, cos some of them are frozen in the US. Not saying that means it works, but Belgium doesn’t have to be involved.
