Tens of thousands of workers, students and dockworkers took to the streets across Italy in a nationwide general strike on Friday against soaring living costs, low wages and military spending. The general strike coincided with an international day of action against militarization and genocide which saw dockworkers across five continents and more than 110 ports take action against arms shipments to Israel. In Genoa, dockworkers blockaded the port at dawn before marching back in with some 15,000 people behind them. "Workers and students are demanding one thing," protester Valerio Villanova with Potere al Popolo said: "Money for public health, public transport, care for the environment, and wages — not bombs."

Marquell Bridges says the story the public’s been sold about what happened right before Senatobia Sgt. Hunter Foster shot and killed 1-year-old Kohen Wiley was a lie from the start. The Mississippi-based organizer and founder of the Building Bridges Coalition tells Zoe Alexandra and Rania Khalek police at Walmart were never responding to a shoplifting call, that no one in the car has been charged, and that Baby Kohen’s death is part of a long pattern of impunity for racist murder in Mississippi, from Emmett Till to the unsolved 2022 death of Rasheem Carter. Bridges breaks down Attorney General Lynn Fitch’s ruling Foster was “justified” in opening fire, weeks after a Jackson County grand jury declined to bring charges in 18-year-old Nolan Wells’s death, saying it was “consistent with drowning.” As calls for justice for Nolan Wells and Kohen Wiley spread from HBCUs and campuses in the South to cities across the US, Bridges says families cannot expect justice from a system he argues still carries the deep racist roots of the Klan: “Our governor, Tate Reeves, was seen in a picture with Confederate flags, at Nazi parties and in blackface,” Bridges says. “These people are the Klan…. The rest of the world moved forward, but nothing ever changed in Mississippi.” Watch full episodes of BT Live, join breakthroughnews.org as a member today!

Sudan’s “civil war” is a proxy war for gold, now waged from above with foreign-armed drones. Journalist and researcher Mosaab Baba says Sudan’s “gold curse” has both the army and the UAE-backed Rapid Support Forces (RSF) increasingly striking civilian targets in a neocolonial war entering its fourth year, which has already killed thousands of civilians and left millions facing famine. With most of Sudan’s gold now funneled to Abu Dhabi, Baba tells Rania Khalek and Zoe Alexandra the country has become a “backyard” for the UAE, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkey to extract precious minerals, farmland and access to the Red Sea. A year after the fall of El Fasher, he also explains why the world’s largest humanitarian crisis keeps slipping out of the headlines. Baba also unpacks how the legacy of the December Revolution still offers hope for a sovereign, people-led Sudan, and lays out the stakes driving the Sudanese campaign against Emirati diplomat Lana Nusseibeh’s potential bid to become the next UN secretary-general. “The only glimmer of hope is that Sudanese people themselves are starting to realize how insane this war is [and] how much they need to remove these neocolonial leaders from the country.” Watch full episodes of BT Live, join breakthroughnews.org as a member today!

For the 34th consecutive year, the UN General Assembly overwhelmingly voted to condemn the U.S. economic blockade on Cuba. Despite an aggressive U.S. lobbying campaign, 130 countries supported the resolution, while 17 voted against it and 25 abstained. Twenty-one countries did not vote. Over two days of debate, diplomats from around the world condemned the U.S. economic war on Cuba. #cuba #unitednations #embargo #blockade

Lula’s comeback to victory in Brazil’s 2026 presidential election was no accident. After trailing far-right Flávio, son of imprisoned former president Jair Bolsonaro, by 2 million votes in the first round, President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won the runoff by more than twice that, powered by a movement that deployed mass street mobilizations and a “Lula’s Army” WhatsApp channel to turn the race around in just three weeks. Now Flávio Bolsonaro has fled to Miami, defying a court order and claiming the vote was stolen. But lawyer and Movimento Brasil Popular organizer Ana Júlia Guedes credits a disciplined campaign that exposed the far right’s criminal ties. And she tells Zoe Alexandra and Rania Khalek the honeymoon will be short: Lula still faces a deeply conservative Congress, rising political violence against Indigenous and Afro-Brazilian communities, and right-wing governors already moving to block his pro-worker agenda. Guedes explains what’s at stake in Lula’s final term, from social media regulation to a push for mineral sovereignty over Brazil’s lithium and rare earths – and why Brazilians celebrating Bolsonaro’s defeat are already preparing for a tough fight ahead.

U.S. Ambassador to the UN Mike Waltz doubled down today on his claim that the blockade on Cuba doesn’t exist during today’s General Assembly debate. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez confronted Waltz over his sweeping, unsubstantiated accusations of corruption against Cuba’s leadership, calling him a liar in a heated exchange on the Assembly floor. For 33 consecutive years, the UN General Assembly has overwhelmingly voted to condemn the U.S. economic blockade on Cuba. This year’s vote comes amid an aggressive campaign by the Trump administration to pressure countries into withdrawing their support for the resolution. The General Assembly will vote on the resolution tomorrow. Read our breakdown of the Trump administration’s pressure campaign at the UN and our fact-check of Waltz’s claims: https://www.bellyofthebeastcuba.com/the-war-on-cuba-goes-to-the-un

In Brighton, for a special recording of Downstream IRL, Ash Sarkar sat down with Naomi Klein, and organiser, writer and co-founder of the Debt Collective, Astra Taylor. They gathered to discuss their new book, End Times Fascism: And the Fight for the Living World. An apocalyptic alliance of religious fundamentalists, billionaire Silicon Valley tech kings and ethno-nationalists is gathering momentum. They aren’t just exploiting collapse, they’re provoking and accelerating it, whilst protecting themselves from the fallout. The world’s fate is increasingly in the hands of men who are ambivalent about its survival and betting money on the end. Already, anger at the building of data centres is cutting across left and right, in a way that climate politics rarely has – but how do we make sure that anger is heard? How do we separate necessary alarm from fatalism? And what can we prepare for the impending AI crash? 00:00 Intro 01:16 What Is End Times Fascism? 06:12 How Neoliberalism Fuelled Fascism 09:31 Armageddon Politics: Why Some Fascists Want the World to End 13:31 Christian Zionism, Israel and the Far Right's End-Times Prophecy 20:34 Suffering, Redemption, and the Human Need for Myth 27:43 Inside Peter Thiel's Apocalypse Ball 31:11 The Truth About Why Silicon Valley Backed Trump 37:27 AI Won't Free Us From Work 40:28 The Real Risks of AI 44:22 AI Warfare: How Algorithms Are Used to Target People in Gaza 50:28 Can AI Serve the Left, or Is It Inherently Dangerous? 58:09 Can the Left Beat Fascism?

Support our work: http://novara.media/support No one is disputed like Mao. Was he a mass murderer, a Communist hero, a charlatan, or a great poet? The saviour of the peasants, or the man who extracted from them all that he could? Mao’s biography is a nest of contradictions. He led the largest revolution in world history, then presided over its largest famine – and even then, life expectancy rose 20 years over the course of his rule. He launched rebellions – against a government he already controlled. He purged his enemies and friends alike. Some 50 years after his death, he remains a central figure in Chinese politics. The Communist Party of China posthumously declared him to be 70% right and 30% wrong, but his face still hangs over Tiananmen Square. In this second episode on China’s history, Rebecca Karl – author of 'China’s Revolutions in the Modern World' - returns to tell Richard Hames about the Mao era, with all its promises, contradictions and catastrophes.
