Amini favorit till EU-pris

Amini favorit till EU-pris

Bland de tre finalister som utsetts är nämligen iranska Mahsa Zihna Amini storfavorit, efter att ha nominerats av alla de tre största partigrupperna i EU-parlamentet: konservativa EPP, socialdemokratiska S&D och liberala RE. 22-åriga Amini avled i september 2022 efter att ha gripits av Irans moralpolis, för att hon inte ansågs bära sin obligatoriska huvudsjal på korrekt vis. Hennes död följdes av omfattande protester mot de styrande i Iran. Övriga finalister är två nicaraguanska människorättsaktivister, Vilma Núñez de Escorcia och Rolando José Álvarez Lagos, samt tre aborträttsaktivister: Justuna Wydrzynska från Polen, Morena Herrera från El Salvador och Colleen McNicholas från USA. Vem som får priset avgörs den 19 oktober av EU-parlamentets talman och gruppledare.

Ryssland rundar sanktioner genom "skuggflottor" och fiktiva företag

Ryssland rundar sanktioner genom "skuggflottor" och fiktiva företag

Med hjälp av fiktiva företag och falska transportnätverk kan Ryssland glida undan västvärldens sanktioner, och på så sätt få leverans av EU-sanktionerade varor – som egentligen är avsedda för transport till bland andra Centralasien och Kaukasusregionen. Det hävdar Ukraina-presidentens kontorschef, Andrii Yermak, i ett inlägg på Telegram. ”Mellanföretag används för att skaffa västerländska elektroniska komponenter med dubbla ändamål. Falska företag skapas också för att bilda en "skuggflotta" av LNG-tankfartyg, och för att transportera flytande naturgas.”, skriver Andrii Yermak i uttalandet. Komponenter i ryska vapen Han påpekar också att västerländska komponenter förekommer i ryska vapen. ”Samtidigt har alliansen Ryska federationen-Iran-Nordkorea redan blivit en militär som öppet hånar demokratier”, fortsätter Yermak i uttalandet. Yermak ber nu omvärlden om att agera skyndsamt mot Ryssland. ”Det finns mindre och mindre tid kvar att stärka demokratiernas ställning i världen och det är nödvändigt att agera nu.”, skriver han vidare. Storinvasionen av Ukraina Till följd av storinvasionen av Ukraina 2022 har EU och USA infört sanktioner mot Ryssland, som framför allt tar sikte på olja och gas. Bland annat USA och Kanada har förbjudit all import av rysk olja och gas. EU har infört åtgärder som i praktiken ska stoppa 90 procent av importen, med vissa undantag för länder i öst som gjort sig beroende av ledningar från Ryssland. Storbritannien införde det hittills största sanktionspaketet mot Rysslands skuggflotta av oljetankfartyg den 17 oktober.

Sista bilderna på Hamas-ledaren – kastar en planka innan han skjuts

Sista bilderna på Hamas-ledaren – kastar en planka innan han skjuts

Hamasledaren ska ha dött i Tel Sultan i staden Rafah i södra Gaza under onsdagen. Enligt IDF ska det ha skett under en eldstrid mellan två Hamasmän och militären. IDF gick initialt ut med att tre personer dödats, men bekräftade senare med hjälp av dna och tandkort att en av de döda var Yahya Sinwar. Israeliska medier uppger att IDF inte var medvetna om att Sinwar befann sig i byggnaden. Sent på onsdagen publicerade IDF en drönarvideo som uppges visa Sinwars sista tid i livet. I ett söndersprängt hus syns hur en nästintill livlös person sitter i en fåtölj. IDF har pekar ut personen som Sinwar. I ett försök att mota bort drönaren kastar han en planka mot den, men missar. Militären visste inte att det var Sinwar Enligt Times of Israel ska en israelisk soldat ha informerat sina överordnade om hur en misstänkt person gick in och ut ur byggnaden under förmiddagen. Militären ska då ha öppnat eld mot huset. Senare under eftermiddagen ska militären med hjälp av en drönare sett hur tre personer lämnat byggnaden och rört sig från hus till hus. Två av dem ska ha banat väg för den tredje personen. Militären öppnade då eld igen, och personerna skadades och delades upp. Sinwar ska då ha hamnat ensam i ett hus, något som bekräftas av IDF:s talesperson Avichay Adraee. Han ska ha rört sig uppåt i huset samtidigt som en stridsvagn avfyrade ett skott mot huset innan soldater stormade byggnaden. Sinwar uppges då ha kastat en granat som fick soldaterna att dra sig tillbaka. Då skickades drönaren in som visar hur han täckt sitt huvud och skadat armen, sedan kastar han plankan mot drönaren. En israelisk stridsvagn sköt sedan mot Sinwar som dog. Först efteråt ska de israeliska soldaterna ha förstått att det var Yahya Sinwar som dödats. Ryktades vara en brutal ledare 61-årige Yahya Sinwar var Hamas ledare i Gaza och ses som högst ansvarig för attackerna den 7 oktober och har länge varit jagad av Israel. Det har ryktats om att han gömt sig tunnelsystem under Gaza och han har kallats för "Slaktaren från Khan Yunis", då han beskrevs som väldigt brutal. Han satt fängslad i 23 år i Israel innan han släpptes i en fångutväxling 2011. Efter hans död skrev Israels premiärminister Benjamin Netanyahu på sociala medier att ”Hamas inte längre kommer att styra Gaza”. I ett tal meddelade Netanyahu att Sinwars död inte innebär slutet på kriget i Gaza, men början på slutet. Sen vände han sig till invånarna i Gaza. – Jag har ett enkelt meddelande, detta krig kan ta slut imorgon. Från Irans håll hävdar man att motståndet nu kommer att stärkas till följd av hans död. "Han kommer att bli en förebild för ungdomar och barn som kommer att fortsätta hans väg mot Palestinas befrielse. Så länge som ockupation och aggression existerar kommer motståndet att bestå, för martyren förblir vid liv och en inspirationskälla", skriver Irans FN-delegation i New York på plattformen X.

96. Series 5: Empires of Iran

Persia was the first great superpower. The empire built by Cyrus, Darius, Xerxes and the rest of the Achaemenids stretched from India in the east to the Mediterranean in the west, from Russia in the north to the Gulf of Oman in the south. It laid the foundation for empires of the future. It was destroyed by Alexander the Great, but Iran has risen many times since. In this series we'll look at the ancient Persian empire, but also their successors; the Sassanians, who fought against Rome, in a vast war that eventually led to the Rise of Islam; then the Saffavids, during whose rule Shi'ism took root in Iran; and we'll end with the Iranian Revolution and the way it laid the foundations for political islam and much of the politics that drives the Middle-east today.

312: Reagan, Iran-Contra and the Cold War

Warmonger or nuclear disarmer? Ronald Reagan’s presidency survived an assassination attempt, the AIDS epidemic and the Iranian hostage crisis. He powered through the 1980s, creating his own truth and narrative, in a series of events that read like a Hollywood screenplay.  Tom and Dominic take a look at the impact of Reagan's presidency, the enduring effects of his politics, and why none of the scandals that scarred his time in office led to his downfall. They reflect on Reagan's legacy, and whether he can truly take credit for ending the Cold War, as the curtain falls on his blockbuster presidency. *The Rest Is History Live Tour 2023*: Tom and Dominic are back on tour this autumn!
