9 Nov is called Germany's Schicksalstag, Day of Fate. It's the day of the Kaiser's abdication (1918), Hitler's Munich Putsch (1923), the Nazis' "Kristallnacht" pogrom (1938), the fall of the Berlin Wall (1989). A good day to remember that democracy should'nt be taken for granted.

Rusko znovu používá zimu jako zbraň. V @CLOVEKVTISNI proto na Ukrajině zajišťujeme palivo, opravujeme domy a obnovujeme vytápění i vodovody. Aby lidé zvládli další válečnou zimu. Ukrajinu v tom nenecháme. clovekvtisni.cz/ukrajinu-cek…

‘Huge respect to the Irish volunteers. They came to Kraków as tourists, but showed what it means to take responsibility for another person’
Przyjechali z Irlandii zwiedzać Kraków. Zamiast odpoczywać, ratowali ludzkie życie Przyjechali z Irlandii na weekend do Krakowa. Kiedy usłyszeli strzały, schronili się przed napastnikiem. Chwilę później ratowali życie rannych Polaków. Wśród tragicznych wiadomości z Krakowa pojawia się kolejna historia ludzi, którzy w obliczu ogromnego zagrożenia pokazali, czym jest prawdziwa solidarność. Tym razem chodzi o sześciu wolontariuszy Dublin Civil Defence, czyli irlandzkiej organizacji obrony cywilnej. Przyjechali do Krakowa na krótki wypoczynek i przypadkiem znaleźli się niedaleko Rynku Głównego, gdzie w sobotnie popołudnie doszło do strzelaniny. Jak relacjonuje irlandzka telewizja RTÉ, początkowo myśleli, że słyszą fajerwerki. Dopiero po chwili zorientowali się, że ktoś strzela do ludzi. Najpierw schronili się w bezpiecznym miejscu. Gdy napastnik odjechał i bezpośrednie zagrożenie minęło, natychmiast ruszyli pomagać poszkodowanym. I tutaj warto podkreślić jeden szczegół. To nie byli przypadkowi turyści bez przygotowania. Wszyscy należeli do organizacji, której członkowie są szkoleni między innymi w udzielaniu pierwszej pomocy. James McConnell, przedstawiciel Dublin Civil Defence, przekazał RTÉ, że wolontariusze prowadzili resuscytację krążeniowo-oddechową oraz pomagali tamować krwotoki. W takich sytuacjach każda minuta ma ogromne znaczenie. Zanim poszkodowani trafią pod opiekę zespołów ratownictwa medycznego, odpowiednio udzielona pomoc może zwiększyć ich szanse na przeżycie. Co szczególnie mnie porusza, ci ludzie nie mieli żadnego obowiązku angażować się w akcję ratunkową. Przyjechali do Polski odpocząć, pozwiedzać Kraków i miło spędzić czas. A jednak, kiedy zrobiło się bezpieczniej, postanowili wykorzystać swoje umiejętności, żeby pomagać zupełnie obcym osobom. Na tragedię zareagowały również irlandzkie władze. Premier Micheál Martin przekazał kondolencje rodzinom ofiar, a minister spraw zagranicznych Helen McEntee poinformowała, że ambasada Irlandii w Warszawie monitoruje sytuację. W całym tym dramacie właśnie takie historie przypominają mi, że niezależnie od narodowości potrafimy być dla siebie ludźmi. Ogromny szacunek dla irlandzkich wolontariuszy. Przyjechali do Krakowa jako turyści, a pokazali, czym jest odpowiedzialność za drugiego człowieka.

Pan Macinka nemá rád ženy, to se ví. Žen "mužatek" - silných a nezávislých se navíc doslova bojí a štítí. Teď se ve svém paláci tetelí blahem, kolik žen dnes naštval. Ale pravidleně chodí kontrolovat dveře, zda jsou dobře zamčené. Macinka. blesk.cz/clanek/zpravy-polit…

Russian intelligence services have a new target — Ireland Irish intelligence agencies suspect Russia of orchestrating a wave of fake bomb threats. At least 50 flights between the UK, Ireland and continental Europe have been targeted. Bomb threats have also been reported at schools on both sides of the Irish border, supermarkets and media outlets. The campaign is aimed at creating chaos ahead of a major EU summit in Dublin. Last week, fake threats disrupted air traffic, while hackers breached the cooling systems of the SuperValu supermarket chain. Irish intelligence believes the attacks are coordinated and may be linked to Russian intelligence services. Ireland’s Minister of State for European Affairs and Defence, Thomas Byrne, said Russia was involved in similar operations across Europe. Ireland is considered a vulnerable target because of its extensive undersea cable network and the presence of major Google, Amazon and Microsoft data centres. Around 75% of transatlantic cables pass through or near Irish territorial waters. Ahead of the summit, authorities are preparing the largest security operation in the country’s history.

Replying to @kaclk
The fact is this has been the longest and bloodiest war in Europe since WW2. @IIHFHockey NO sports tournament is more important than defeating the illegal ru invasion of Ukraine by the ru war criminals responsible for murdering Ukrainian youth everyday. icc-cpi.int/defendants?f%5B0…

Glem Greenball was *Checks notes* prosecuted by one Jair Bolsonaro..
Flávio Bolsonaro tells Glenn Greenwald "Glenn, first of all, it's a great honor to be here talking with you--someone who has also felt firsthand the persecution of a state simply for doing your job." Flávio conveniently forgets to mention that his father Jair Bolsonaro tried to imprison Greenwald. His father was the state trying to persecute him.

Irish general warned of 'reputational damage' if air display team couldn't take part in RAF show. You really have to wonder about the decision making process in the @IRLDeptDefence regarding this occurrence. Incredible. jrnl.ie/7214964

Why ever would a neutral country like Austria require 36 additional Eurofighters, to replace their existing 15? Because you need to defend your neutrality of course!
Interesting slide here at #IFC2026 from @eurofighter suggesting there are opportunities to sell another 150 aircraft on top of potential orders from #Austria, #KSA and a second batch of 24 new-build for #Türkiye. This is not the Omani/Qatari aircraft I am told.

Years of conflict have devastated much of Syria’s water infrastructure. For many communities this means life with unreliable water services. With Syria Humanitarian Fund @OCHAFunds support, @people_in_need rehabilitated and upgraded the Maskana West Water Station in northern #Syria. By replacing broken pumps and modernising key systems, we increased capacity from 400 to 750 cubic metres per hour. These improvements reduce water interruptions and increase reliablility; they also contribute to sustainable services for thousands of people. @OCHA_Syria

🚨 Airplane bomb threat now to @AerLingus. This after several hybrid threats and attacks across Europe, and ahead of the major European summit in #Dublin next week. Does anyone still deny Ireland faces serious security threats?
Aer Lingus flight #EI402 (Dublin - Rome) is diverting to Evreux Fauville Air Base, with squawk 7700.

Meanwhile, I'm sitting waiting for a plane delayed by 1hr from Prague.
Meanwhile, no aircraft have departed from Rome Fiumicino Airport (FCO) in the past 30 minutes. The reason for the disruption is currently unknown.

A great primer on the geopolitics of pre-war Czechoslovakia.
On 5 November 1937, Hitler told his military leaders of plans to seize Austria and Czechoslovakia by force. Less than a year later came Munich. But was Czechoslovakia's fate inevitable? Three enduring myths about 1938. 👇 basedinbohemia.com/p/myths-o…

Chat Bowes' demise, when it comes, will be addition by subtraction for both the Irish people, and humanity. An excreable waste of a condom.
The official stamp of something not being true has been applied. Chay Bowes works directly for the Russian government. Others spreading these lies are down a pay check.
