Germany: Leipzig forbids fresh far-left demonstration after 2 nights of unrest:

Police arrested nearly 30 people during the weekend protests, which followed the conviction of a left-wing activist for physically attacking neo-Nazis.

dw.com/en/leipzig-for…
The underpinning legal rationale for the decision, they said, was a broader restriction for any protests in the city this weekend connected to the conviction earlier in the week of left-wing activist Lina E. for her part in violent physical assaults on neo-Nazis.
On Saturday, around 1,500 people turned up to the demonstration, even though several courts had refused to authorize it. Police first tried to accommodate the protest, but broke it up when officers came under attack.

theguardian.com/us-news/2023/j…
Bianchi was reprimanded for writing a ticket to a relative or parent of an officer; in others, his commanding officer reviewed body-camera footage to see if he was giving motorists with cards a “hard time”.
Bianchi’s service as a traffic cop ended last summer when he wrote a ticket to a friend of the NYPD’s highest-ranking uniformed officer, Chief Jeffrey Maddrey, the lawsuit states.

Indonesia proposes demilitarised zone,UN referendum for Ukraine peace plan:

Defence Minister Prabowo Subianto proposed a multi-point plan including a ceasefire and establishing a demilitarised zone by withdrawing 15 km from each party's forward position.

reuters.com/world/indonesi…
The demilitarised zone should be observed and monitored by a peacekeeping force deployed by the UN, he said, adding that a UN referendum should be held "to ascertain objectively the wishes of the majority of the inhabitants of the various disputed areas".
Indonesia's proposal follows President Joko Widodo's visit last year to Moscow and Kyiv, where he offered to play peacebroker between their leaders and rekindle peace talks. He was chairman of the G20 group of major economies at the time.

"It is not clear what the Zelensky regime, which has been at the receiving end of frequent accusations of Nazism even from friendly Western media [hoped] to achieve through an image that demeaned a Hindu article of faith, stigmatised Hindus and sought to normalise Hindu hatred." Image

"Introduced in 2009, Liberal Studies was one of the four core subjects in the senior secondary curriculum – meaning that every secondary school student had to sit an exam in it.

That changed in 2021, when the subject was revamped and renamed."

hongkongfp.com/2023/04/30/as-…
"The new Citizenship and Social Development course has a greater emphasis on national security and identity, half the teaching hours of Liberal Studies, a pass-fail assessment instead of a grading system, and a study trip to mainland China."
"Former chief executive Tung Chee-hwa – blamed the subject for encouraging students to take part in the 2019 pro-democracy protests and unrest.

In 2020, then chief executive Carrie Lam said that Liberal Studies’ “deviation” from its objectives would be rectified."
