"Thousands rallied in central Paris on Saturday in a large national march marking the UN International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People. Footage shows protesters carrying Palestinian flags and placards, some read: ‘Justice for Palestine. End of Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory,’ as they marched through the streets. Police surrounded the protest as demonstrators launched fireworks and lit smoke flares. Demonstrators moved through Paris carrying Palestinian flags, banners and placards urging justice, while trade-union blocs, anti-colonial Jewish groups, students and local residents joined the march. Initial estimates described a dense crowd in the thousands. “Today, you can't be progressive, be left-wing, be committed to the right of peoples to self-determination, to humanism quite simply, and allow what the Israeli army and Israeli settlers are doing to happen. It's not possible,” said Eric, one of the protesters, who argued that France must apply the same standards across conflicts. “If we rightly sanction Russian imperialism today, we must also sanction Israeli colonialism in the West Bank and Gaza; otherwise, it is inconceivable. Otherwise, it's a double standard, and that's what we're seeing today with the Macron government.” Communist General Councilor for Ile-de-France Vanessa Ghiati said the mobilisation was a moral imperative. “We cannot be insensitive to what is happening. Our entire humanity is being called into question. As a communist and elected representative, we are in the streets with all those defending the Palestinian cause,” she explained. Others warned that the temporary halt in fighting did not amount to progress. “We've gone beyond what is tolerable,” said Angelo, another protester. “This is not a ceasefire. It's a ceasefire of dollars. It's a ceasefire of capitalists made on the backs of the people [...] It's the continuation of a masked genocide.” The demonstration, reportedly backed by more than 70 unions, associations, collectives and political parties, was led by the Association France Palestine Solidarite (AFPS) and drew participants from across the country."

" Dozens of protesters gathered outside the Nigerian embassy in Madrid on Saturday, demanding international attention to what they described as the 'genocide' of Christians in Nigeria. The rally came in response to a wave of mass kidnappings targeting Christian communities, including the recent abduction of more than 300 students from a Catholic school in Niger State. Footage shows protesters holding crosses and placards reading 'Christian lives matter', 'Stop the killing of innocent Christians. All lives matter!' and 'Save Nigerian Christians, it's genocide', before concluding the rally with collective prayers. "We demand fundamental rights, such as life, freedom of expression and unity among people, so that there are not so many killings and crimes, as there have been in Nigeria and especially in the northern region," one demonstrator said, adding, "We have come here mainly for that reason, to demand that there not be so many deaths. That there be unity." Others described personal anguish over relatives and communities back home. “They are killing people in my home,” the man said. "We are not happy. We are crying so that the world will hear everything that is happening there. That is why we are here today, to tell the world what is happening there," he added. Another respondent mentioned the scale of violence amounted to targeted persecution. “What is clear is that they are killing thousands of Christians simply because they are Christians. It is genocide in every sense of the word. People of goodwill cannot allow this to happen.” The recent kidnappings in Niger State drew international attention after US President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that the United States might "go into that now disgraced country, guns-a-blazing" if the government failed to stop what he called the 'mass slaughter' of Christians. In the wake of Trump’s comments, the Nigerian Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, on Monday formally launched Nigeria's new Counter-Terrorism Strategic Plan for 2025-2030 in Abuja. The officials presented this as a shift from European security agreements to a domestic policy, due to growing pressure from the United States. Nigeria has been struggling with increasing insecurity for many years. Since 2014, over 1,400 students and teachers have been abducted as armed groups have targeted rural schools in the northwest and north-central regions of the country."

"Flying taxis and next-generation drones took centre stage on Saturday as thousands of visitors flocked to the Zhuhai International Airshow Centre to explore the latest aviation breakthroughs at the AERO Asia 2025 show. Footage from the three-day event shows more than 300 exhibitors displaying over 110 aircraft across the exhibition floor, underscoring rapid advances in aviation - particularly in China’s electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) sector, often referred to as the nation’s 'low-altitude economy'. "What impressed me most is how quickly China’s low-altitude economy has developed and how widely it’s being applied," one visitor said, noting its growing presence in healthcare, firefighting and transportation. "I think that in the future, for our descendants, flying a plane may become as common as driving a car on the ground," the man added. Held under the theme 'A New Era: Explore More', the event also featured forums, seminars and workshops centred on autonomous systems, smart aviation technologies, and low-carbon innovations for pilots and aerodrome operators. eVTOL models dominated the showroom as China pushes to integrate low-altitude aviation into everyday logistics and urban transport. Visitors were able to test-drive aircraft through simulators, reflecting a broader shift toward sustainable, green urban mobility. Heavy-lift industrial drones designed for logistics and disaster response were among the crowd-pleasers, demonstrating how uncrewed systems are reshaping supply chains. "With equipment mounted, its maximum payload is 300 kilograms, and it can fly for up to three hours," said Zhong, when describing a logistics drone. Sustainability was a major focus. Under the banner of 'Green Aviation', exhibitors showcased advanced electric-propulsion systems and hydrogen-fuel concepts, signalling the industry’s ambitions for a carbon-neutral future. China’s low-altitude economy is projected to reach 1.5 trillion yuan (US$211 billion) in 2025 and surpass 2 trillion yuan by 2030, according to state forecasts."

"Residents of the municipality of Mariana backed the decision by a UK court that Anglo-Australian mining company Broken Hill Proprietary (BHP) was responsible for the collapse of the Mariana dam in November 2015, which caused the death of 19 people and massive environmental damage. A decade later, residents and relatives of the victims welcomed the ruling and shared their hopes of receiving compensation for damages caused, stating that many people in the area have still not been granted it. "Last week, we learned that BHP was responsible. And it was good news for us, that it is done and that we can, after waiting 10 years, receive the compensation." said Marlene Martins, a Member of the Rural Zone Commission of Mariana. "They could have avoided this accident, worked a little more responsibly, hired professionals who are really professionals," commented Paulo, a former employee of Samarco, a company controlled by BHP. On Friday 14 November, BHP was declared legally responsible for the collapse of the Fundao dam in Mariana, which released around 40 million cubic metres of toxic waste in 2015. The disaster caused the death of 19 people and left more than 600 homeless. In a statement, BHP announced its intention to appeal the court's decision, considering the British proceedings redundant in relation to compensation already provided in Brazil."
