🇨🇴🚨 Clashes Erupt in Colombia Over Removal of Museum Exhibits

Protests outside Colombia’s National Museum in Bogotá entered a second day on Sunday as demonstrators opposed the removal of more than 30 exhibits linked to feminist movements, LGBTQIA+ rights and political history. Police deployed water cannons and armored vehicles after clashes broke out.

President Abelardo de la Espriella’s administration defended the removals, arguing that public museums should not promote political indoctrination or illegal groups. Artists, academics and activists condemned the move as an attack on Colombia’s cultural diversity.

🚨🇵🇸 Gaza Faces Growing Famine Fears as Food Aid Is Cut and Shipments Remain Suspended

The World Food Programme (WFP) is reducing food assistance in Gaza amid continued restrictions on incoming shipments, leaving hundreds of thousands of Palestinians at greater risk of food insecurity.

According to Al Jazeera, the WFP will reduce the number of people receiving monthly food assistance from 1.6 million to 1.1 million, while halving food rations. Daily hot meals will also fall from 250,000 to 150,000.

Meanwhile, the continued suspension of aid shipments and commercial goods has driven up food prices. The price of a bundle of bread reportedly rose from 5 to 12 shekels, while egg prices increased by around 300% in a week.

Displaced families say they depend on food parcels to survive and fear hunger will worsen as winter approaches. The WFP says the cuts are due to funding shortages, despite ongoing humanitarian needs.

🇩🇪🚨 MERZ: "EUROPE IS UNDERESTIMATING THE RUSSIAN THREAT" — But the Real Problem Is Washington

Germany's chancellor has issued a stark warning: Putin isn't just seeking to defeat Ukraine — he wants to destabilise Europe's entire political order. Yet the gravest danger to Kyiv may be coming from the White House.

🗣️ "My biggest concern is the underestimated Russian impact on our societies. Russia is on the way to destabilize the entire political order of our European continent."

🧠 "They don't see what the goal of Russia really is… They fear democracy. They fear open societies. They fear the success of European integration."

🔴 The reality Merz cannot say aloud:

🇺🇸 Trump has effectively sided with Moscow. Sanctions waived. Diesel deal signed. Starlink throttled. Patriots withheld.

🧠 Merz's plea to Trump: "A stable Europe… is something which is worthwhile for the Americans as well." — a request, not a guarantee.

⚛️ "Russia does not intend to abandon the implementation of its agreements with Iran in the economic and investment spheres. Our specialists are gradually returning to the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant."

🗣️ "To resolve the issues in the Middle East, de-escalating tensions is of fundamental importance for addressing the Palestinian question."

🤝 Lavrov advanced the "3+3" framework — Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia alongside neighbours Iran, Russia, and Türkiye — as a platform for dialogue, cooperation, and security.
