These platforms, as well as X, Kick, Reddit, Threads and Twitch, face fines of up to $49.5 million (£25.8m) if they fail to take reasonable steps to remove the accounts of young children. Information sciences expert at Melbourne’s RMIT University, Lisa Given, said the government’s proposed reform was a response to evidence that the ban was failing.

“These are my last days and weeks as the republic’s president. After that, I will resign,” Vučić told supporters of the ruling Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) at a rally in Belgrade on Saturday, according to media reports. His second and final mandate was due to expire in 2027. His announcement came amid persistent student-led anti-corruption demonstrations, which have been demanding early elections since the deaths of 16 people when a railway station roof collapsed in Novi Sad in November 2024, with frequent violent clashes between police and protesters.

Appeals court rejects Trump EPA bid to abandon rule restricting deadly soot pollution
The unanimous ruling by a three-judge panel is a setback for the Trump administration’s deregulatory agenda and its repeated efforts to boost coal, a reliable but polluting energy source. The decision by the US court of appeals for the District of Columbia circuit leaves intact, for now, a tighter standard set in 2024 on pollution from coal-fired power plants, factories and other industrial sources.

Critical fire weather complicates firefighting efforts in massive Utah wildfire
Critical fire weather conditions are expected to persist into Sunday, complicating efforts to contain the largest wildfire currently burning in the U.S., the Cottonwood Fire, which is burning in a sparsely populated part of southern Utah. "Our biggest challenge right now is that we have single digit humidities and the wind gusts are around 45 miles per hour," said Alyssa Mason, a spokesperson assigned to the fire. "That's on top of fuel moistures between 2 and 8 percent."

Peace Abroad, War Next Door: Pakistani Airstrikes Devastate Afghan Civilians
In the village of Mana, located in Afghanistan’s Khost province, close to the Pakistani border, men who normally pass their days farming instead spent the morning of June 10 digging fresh graves for their murdered relatives and neighbors. The night before, shortly after midnight, Pakistani drones and fighter jets flattened the neighboring homes of two brothers, Siraj and Babri. Nine members of a single family were killed, most of them women and children. The two brothers’ homes stood beside one another in Mana. Neighbors worked through the night dragging the dead and the wounded out of the debris. Across the two households, ten more people were wounded, several of them in critical condition. The survivors were rushed first to a small district hospital, before being transferred to the largest provincial hospital in Khost. A doctor at the hospital, who asked not to be named because medical staff have been warned against speaking to journalists, told Drop Site that 11 bodies were brought in after the strike, including women, children, and men—every one of them a civilian. Among the wounded survivors were three children.

Trotsky, 1905 and the Permanent Revolution
The theory of the ‘permanent revolution’, developed by Leon Trotsky in the 20th century, remains one of the most important and misunderstood ideas in all of Marxism. In this article, Joe Attard delves into the origins of Trotsky’s ideas, and how they were shaped by the events of the 1905 Revolution in Russia. The Russian Revolution of 1905 went off like a bombshell, blowing apart all scepticism about the fighting potential of the Russian masses toiling under the heel of tsarist absolutism. While the workers were ultimately crushed after a year of open combat with tsarism, they laid the foundations for even greater battles to come. Leon Trotsky was virtually alone in understanding the real significance of 1905, which catalysed ideas he had already been developing into his greatest theoretical contribution: the permanent revolution. There is a dialectical relationship between individuals, ideas and events. Lev Davidovich Bronstein (the birthname of ‘Leon Trotsky’) entered revolutionary activity as a teenager. But it was only after the 1905 Revolution, in which he personally led the St. Petersburg Soviet, that the mature ‘Trotsky’ emerged.

J. V. Stalin: Marxism and the National Question Ch II. THE NATIONAL MOVEMENT
A nation is not merely a historical category but a historical category belonging to a definite epoch, the epoch of rising capitalism. The process of elimination of feudalism and development of capitalism is at the same time a process of the constitution of people into nations. Such, for instance, was the case in Western Europe. The British, French, Germans, Italians and others were formed into nations at the time of the victorious advance of capitalism and its triumph over feudal disunity. But the formation of nations in those instances at the same time signified their conversion into independent national states. The British, French and other nations are at the same time British, etc., states. Ireland, which did not participate in this process, does not alter the general picture. Matters proceeded somewhat differently in Eastern Europe. Whereas in the West nations developed into states, in the East multi-national states were formed, states consisting of several nationalities. Such are Austria-Hungary and Russia. In Austria, the Germans proved to be politically the most developed, and they took it upon themselves to unite the Austrian nationalities into a state. In Hungary, the most adapted for state organization were the Magyars – the core of the Hungarian nationalities – and it was they who united Hungary. In Russia, the uniting of the nationalities was undertaken by the Great Russians, who were headed by a historically formed, powerful and well-organized aristocratic military bureaucracy. That was how matters proceeded in the East. This special method of formation of states could take place only where feudalism had not yet been eliminated, where capitalism was feebly' developed, where the nationalities which had been forced into the background had not yet been able to consolidate themselves economically into integral nations.
