Moscow plans to send 2nd oil tanker to Cuba, Russian energy minister says
The announcement comes just two days after sanctioned Russian tanker Anatoly Kolodkin docked at the Cuban port of Matanzas laden with 730,000 barrels of oil, marking the first time in three months that an oil tanker reached the island. Experts have said that shipment could produce about 180,000 barrels of diesel, enough to feed Cuba’s daily demand for nine or 10 days.

Argentina’s courts have suspended a key provision in President Javier Milei’s labor reform that classified education as an “essential service,” effectively protecting teachers’ right to strike. The ruling follows earlier decisions invalidating 82 other articles of the reform.

Greek ships secretly supplying Israel with oil and military cargo
According to a new report, produced by the No Harbour for Genocide campaign and seen exclusively by MEE, at least 57 covert crude oil shipments were delivered to Israeli ports between May 2024 and December 2025, while Israel was carrying out its genocide in Gaza. The approximately 47 million barrels of oil were taken to Israel via Turkey, with tracking signals disabled and false destinations listed, meaning the shipments were carried out in secret and in direct violation of Turkey’s trade embargo on Israel.

The French-Palestinian politician and activist has frequently been subjected to cyberbullying, death threats and threats of sexual violence from pro-Israel supporters in France due to her pro-Palestinian advocacy. Hassan made headlines last year as part of a group of activists attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to the devastated Gaza Strip aboard the Madleen, a vessel operated by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition.

Germany: Conservatives link immigration with crime
Merz continues to link violence and criminality with immigration. In October 2025, he said that his government had reduced the number of people seeking asylum in Germany by about 60%. "But we still have this problem in the cityscape, of course, and that is why the interior minister is working to carry out large-scale deportations. That must be maintained," he added.

Arctic ice loss brings dual heatwaves to Europe and eastern Asia
Jilan Jiang from the Chinese Academy of Meteorological Sciences in Bejing, and colleagues, studied ice data and global weather patterns going back to 1979. The researchers discovered a link between stronger spring and summer ice loss over the Barents Sea since 2000 and dual heatwaves over Europe and eastern Asia. Prior to 2000, the ice loss was primarily over the southern Barents Sea, but since then ice loss has also become persistent in the northern part. This additional ice loss has triggered unusual atmospheric circulation patterns over north-western Europe and high pressure over east Asia, priming both regions for simultaneous heatwaves.

University of Washington professor fired from director job after sending email criticizing Iran war
According to reports, on 18 March Fani wrote in a newsletter sent via the center’s listserv that “Israeli actions tell us that they seek the destruction of the state, not just its ruling class”. The email reportedly added that it “was always BS” that the Islamic Republic was pursuing nuclear weapons. In July, Fani told the student newspaper that “if you tell the dozens of children that were killed in Israeli bombardment, that were killed in Iran, or the families of the nuclear scientists who were just wiped out – I hardly imagine they would say that the world is a more peaceful place”.

NYC home health aides press Mamdani to back bill ending 24-hour shifts
Current and retired home care workers have held multiple demonstrations outside City Hall over the past week calling for the passage of the “No More 24 Act,” which would cap home care shifts at a maximum of 12 hours, with limited exceptions. Workers have been fighting for the change for years, in part because they are typically compensated for just 13 hours of each 24-hour shift.

NDF: Assert Bangsamoro Self-Determination! Expose the Marcos Jr. Regime’s Sabotage of the Peace Process
The National Democratic Front (NDF)-Mindanao stands with the Bangsamoro people in confronting the deepening crisis in the peace process under the regime of Ferdinand Marcos Jr. What is unfolding is neither delay nor mismanagement of the peace agreement with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front—it is the necessary outcome of a reactionary state bound to imperialism, feudalism, and bureaucrat capitalism. The peace process is being implemented in a manner that preserves ruling class control over Moro land, resources, and political authority, ensuring the continuity of a semi-colonial and semi-feudal order that denies the Bangsamoro their right to genuine self-determination. The Bangsamoro question is a national question rooted in land dispossession and national oppression. The majority of Moro people remain landless peasants and poor fisherfolk, with up to 70% living in poverty and lacking access to basic services. This condition is the product of a long historical process through which land and resources were systematically transferred to the alliance of landlords, comprador bourgeoisie, and bureaucrat capitalists in partnership with imperialist interests.

Pakistan Plays Peacemaker While Bombing and Blockading Afghan Civilians
“There is a lack of reporting because many people, including journalists or human rights activists from Kabul or abroad don’t visit this region,” said Sher Agha, a local activist from Kunar. Before speaking to Drop Site News on Wednesday, he had visited the funeral of one of the recent attacks’ victims, a little girl named Baharat whose picture was also spread on social media. “Attacks are taking place while I am talking to you. Sarkano district, which lies along the border, is being hit intensely. This is the ongoing situation for weeks,” he added. What emerges from the border are fragments: local testimonies, community statements, and scattered data points. Taken together, however, they reveal a coherent picture of a war fought without internal or international accountability. The hunger, disease, and exposure reported by displaced families are the predictable outcomes of military strategies that treat civilian populations as variables in a larger geopolitical equation. For the families forced to flee on dirt roads in Kunar, Nooristan, and Khost provinces, the conflict is defined by the absence of witnesses and the presence of a neighbor that defines its security through the destabilization of its periphery.

Owen Jones :Tony Blair says the left is in ‘unholy alliance’ with Islamists. It’s a desperate last ploy to quell the anger over Gaza
The left, claims Tony Blair, has forged an “alliance with Islamists”. He goes further: this is simply the latest mutation of antisemitism. Extraordinary accusations require extraordinary evidence. Yet unlike with his illegal war on Iraq, our former prime minister has not even troubled himself to assemble a dodgy dossier. This latest tirade was published by the Free Press, a woke-bashing, pro-Israel publication founded by journalist Bari Weiss, now accused of pro-Trump censorship in her new role as editor-in-chief of CBS News. The substance of Blair’s charge is what he calls “opposition to Israel”. This has become an increasingly familiar allegation. As the popularity of the Green party of England and Wales surges, its opposition to Israel’s genocide is recast as sectarianism. Let’s be clear. If there were not a single Muslim in Britain, the left would still oppose Israel’s actions just as forcefully. And what Blair will not confront is that this position reflects mainstream public opinion. A recent poll found as low as 12% of Britons support Israel’s actions in Gaza, while an overwhelming majority supports an arms embargo on Israel, sanctions and the arrest of its leader, Benjamin Netanyahu, for war crimes.
