Belgrade protests plan to turn historic NATO bombing site into Kushner luxury hotel
On Tuesday, November 11, protesters converged from across the city and drew a red line around the site’s perimeter to symbolize a promise to defend it. “Today we have performatively shown what we will do in the coming days,” student Valentina Moravčević told Mašina. “We will be a living wall between all those who are trying to demolish these buildings. Cultural heritage is now defended exclusively on the streets, and that’s what we’re going to do.”

The Office for National Statistics (ONS) reported a figure of 5 per cent covering the three months to September - the highest since late 2020. This was up from 4.8 per cent reported last month and a larger leap than economists had predicted, with men worst affected by the shift. Separate HMRC data released by the ONS also showed a 32,000 decline in payrolled employment during October.

Kansas county to pay more than $3m over police raiding local newspaper
A rural county in Kansas has agreed to pay out more than $3m and apologize over a raid by police on a small-town weekly newspaper in August 2023 that sparked a national outcry over press freedom, the paper’s editor said on Tuesday. Eric Meyer, the editor and publisher of the Marion County Record, told the Associated Press he is hoping the size of the payment is large enough to discourage similar actions against news organizations in the future.

PFLP Makes Statement at the 34th Session of the Arab National Congress
We will not surrender. The struggle will continue until the liberation of Palestine, all of Palestine, the end of the zionist genocide regime, and the punishment of war criminals. The answer to brutality and genocide is not surrender, but more steadfastness and resistance. Despite the fires of genocide and the moaning of wounds, the message of Palestine remains present, from the Gaza of Dignity, West Bank, occupied interior, and Al-Quds, carrying the voice of our heroic prisoners, including the leader Comrade Ahmad Sa’adat, and the voice of the families of martyrs, the wounded, and the displaced, children and women, and those remaining steadfast in tents and shelters, or standing firm on the rubble of their homes. We meet at a pivotal historical moment when the attack on Palestine and the peoples of our nation intensifies, and our national responsibility to protect the nation’s identity and its liberation project grows, and we meet to renew the covenant on the will for struggle and resistance against the zionist enemy, which was, still is, and will remain an enemy of every Arab person, and against the war criminals and those who align with them.

Cuba’s Role in Angola Changed the Course of African History
The end of Portuguese colonial rule in Angola fifty years ago was also the beginning of a Cuban military mission that had a major impact on the country’s history, beating back a South African invasion and denying Pretoria the opportunity to bring its local allies to power. It also left its mark on the region as a whole: Nelson Mandela credited the Cuban victory over the South African army in 1988 with hastening the fall of apartheid. When Cuba’s armed forces became openly involved in Angola in November 1975, there was a widespread assumption that Cuba was a Soviet “proxy.” Those who knew Cuba well argued that it was not that simple. They questioned whether it could really be described as a client state, and whether Moscow was really interested in becoming embroiled (indirectly) in the internal conflicts of Southern Africa. In due course, further research shifted attention away from an interpretation that owed much to the hegemonic Cold War perspective. It slowly became clear that Cuba’s involvement had come at the request of Angola’s new People’s Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) government, to which Portugal had hastily handed control of the country. The MPLA was now threatened by rival forces that had the backing of South Africa and the United States. The MPLA requested help from Havana based on its own close links with Cuba and the record of Cuban support for the anti-colonial struggle.

Dick Cheney may be gone, but the wars he waged are forever
After news broke that former US Vice President Dick Cheney, 84, died on Tuesday of pneumonia and cardiac disease, tributes came pouring in from across the political and media spectrums. Establishment Democrats, including Bill Clinton and Kamala Harris, praised Cheney - a die-hard Republican - on a life well lived. Clinton extolled Cheney's "unwavering sense of duty", while Harris called him a "devoted public servant" who gave "so much of his life to the country he loved". Mainstream American news outlets also honoured Cheney, who, in addition to serving as George W Bush's vice president from 2001 to 2009, had served as the White House chief of staff in the 1970s and the secretary of defence in the 1980s. CNN's front-page story lauded him for helping "his daughter stand up to [Donald] Trump". Joe Scarborough of MSNBC said that Cheney "kept his bearings when it came to democratic norms… he was on the right side… we all should be grateful to him for that", while the New York Times called him a "consummate Washington insider" who sought to advance "the cause of democracy abroad". Based on these evaluations, one could be forgiven for thinking Cheney was a good man - or for not knowing that he was a hardened war criminal responsible for some of the worst atrocities in modern world history.
