Brazil: Hundreds join anti-Bolsonaro protests in Rio de Janeiro
2018-10-21 07:34
Hundreds of protesters gathered in the city centre of Rio de Janeiro to protest against Brazilian frontrunner and right-wing candidate Jair Bolsonaro on Saturday. Protesters can be seen drumming, dancing, shouting slogans and waving flags as they protest in the centre of Rio. One of the protesters, Matheus Almeida, explained that he participated in the protest «because with Bolsonaro what it represents is fascism, back to a military dictatorship and an end to public education.» Bolsonaro won 46 percent of the vote in the first round of voting on October 7, with Fernando Haddad of the leftist Workers' Party (PT) coming second with 30 percent. The second round of the election is scheduled for October 28.

USA: Ann Coulter discusses Trump's wall, 'the illegals' at Politicon
2018-10-21 11:47
Ann Coulter, Conservative commentator: «I, I am not, I mean he's, he's — this is is own fault — he's surrounded himself with people who do not agree with the MAGA agenda, he seems to have hired a lot of Never-Trumpers for the White House, and as I predicted in my columns during the transition, if you surround yourself with people like that, they're going to come running to you and say 'Oh this can't be done, we have to worry, there's going to be a lawsuit, we can't do it, we can't do it.' He's the commander-in-chief.» Ann Coulter, Conservative commentator: «Well that's what he's talking about doing now, putting the military on the border, and I don't think it's a really great solution. I mean, what are they going to do — shoot the illegals? It's better than nothing, but — I mean, having them there, but that's why we wanted a wall.» Ann Coulter, Conservative commentator: «I thought he said it beautifully one — during the campaign — right about the time my book 'In Trump We Trust: E Pluribus Awesome' was coming out, there were rumours of him softening his position on immigration. It was a little depressing, I'd have to — it'd be the shortest book tour in world history if he had done that, and then, I don't know if you remember, he gave a big immigration speech in Phoenix. And it's worth going back and looking up, it was absolutely beautiful, it was perfect, every point was right, and quickly, I would say the main points of it are immigration policy is just another government policy, it should be based on what's good for the people already living here.» Political firebrand Ann Coulter discussed the Central American migrant caravan, immigration policies and Trump's border wall with Ben Stein and the public at Politicon in Los Angeles on Saturday. Coulter slammed Donald Trump for not being tough enough on immigration policies and welfare for undocumented immigrants. She criticised Trump's suggestion of sending troops to the US-Mexico border, saying: «I don't think it's a really great solution. I mean, what are they going to do — shoot the illegals? It's better than nothing — I mean, having them there, but that's why we wanted a wall.» Politicon is a two-day political convention featuring political commentary, panels, debates and performances. It runs from October 20-21.

Voters lined up outside polling stations in Kabul on Sunday after Afghanistan's electoral commission announced that it would extend voting in the parliamentary elections in some parts of the country, as many polling stations failed to open on the first day of polling.

Some Afghans waited hours to vote, only to be told the polling stations would not open. «Yesterday I was waiting outside the polling centre all day to cast my poll but unfortunately, I could not do it. The security personnel said that that the polling staff and papers hadn't arrived yet,» said one woman.

Germany: Munich activists protest against nuclear plant closures
2018-10-21 16:45
Pro-nuclear activists rallied in the centre of Munich on Sunday, to demand a halt to nuclear plant closures. Protesters blamed Germany for abandoning its 2020 climate goals and setting a path for the destruction of the Hambach forest, in order to mine for coal. “We should shut down coal plants instead of nuclear plants. The government has just set the wrong priority. And the climate will pay the price,» said rally organiser Amadeus Schermer. “If Germany wants to be a manufacturer of some of the best cars in the world, they need the energy. So it either has to come from coal or from nuclear. And they chose coal,” US environmentalist Eric Meier said. “And it's bad for the environment.” Despite larger investments in renewable energy infrastructure, Germany's emissions have not changed since 2009 according to a report by research and policy organisation Environmental Progress. The reason given is because the country has abandoned its nuclear power sources, forcing it to rely more heavilly on coal.

Italy: South Tyrol regional elections underway amid 'dual passport' strife
2018-10-21 18:45
The Governor of South Tyrol Arno Kompatscher downplayed the topic of dual passports, an issue raised in the lead up to the regional elections, after he cast his vote in the local parliamentary ballot, in Fie allo Sciliar on Sunday. «I believe that the topic of the dual passport has had minor relevance during the election campaign. During that time, there were other topics [focused on],» said Kompatscher. Austria's coalition government has offered to give Austrian passports to the majority German-speaking citizens of the South Tyrol region. Lega Nord candidate for the region Massimo Bessone said the introduction of dual passports could weaken the region's autonomy, and warned against it. «Autonomy no longer makes sense with the introduction of the dual passport, especially since it creates first and second class citizens,» he said. Security and immigration were among the main themes of the campaign, but in the province of South Tyrol, the political debate was also influenced by Austria's passport offer.

You know Kim Jong Un, you've seen the country; we've never been there.

So they called the Chicago Bulls front office, and they asked 'would Michael Jordan be interested to come to North Korea?'. And Michael said 'Hell no'. Then they came with the second option: 'Do you think Dennis Rodman would come to North Korea?' And this is the funny part. I say 'yes' you know... Toure, journalist (English): «Why did you say 'yes'? Dennis Rodman, former basketball player (English): «Because... this is funny... I though it was another paying gig; just taking pictures, hanging out, stuff like that.

It's sports. I'm not over there trying to ask that guy 'Don't chop his head off', or 'Please don't shoot your fucking sister or brother'. I'm not over there doing that bullshit. It's not my job.» Former basketball player Dennis Rodman reminisced about his travels to North Korea, speaking on stage at the Politicon in Los Angeles on Saturday.

Hundreds of people held a march on the Pentagon to protest against US military actions overseas on Sunday. The march was organised by a coalition of activists from Answer Coalition, Code Pink, Veterans for Peace, and others. According to Code Pink co-founder Medea Benjamin, their antiwar march was “a bipartisan issue, both the Democrats and the Republicans get money from the weapons manufacturers, from the lobbyists, from those who profit from war,” and explained that politicians, including US President Donald Trump, were hesitant to cut ties with the Saudis due to income from arms sales. “We say that's ridiculous, we don't want an economy that is based on killing people,” Benjamin added.

USA: Ben Shapiro accuses the left of using 'mob politics'
2018-10-22 05:12
Conservative political commentator Ben Shapiro took to the stage to attack his left-wing opponents at the fourth annual Politicon convention in Los Angeles on Sunday. “the left has engaged in a sort of mob politics where they grin and laugh when people's rights are shut down,” Shapiro said. Shapiro then went on to criticise the concept of hate speech, claiming «there is no such category under the constitution, or really in thought, as hate speech,» and added «if I go to Berkeley, then you'll see riots, literal riots if I go to Berkeley, because my speech is violence. When I went to Berkeley, requiring some 500 police officers, 600 police officers to protect the place, people outside were literally chanting speech is violence.» Commenting on the 2012 case in Colorado, where a bakery refused to bake a wedding cake for a same-sex couple, Shapiro said this was evidence that freedom of religion «is being assaulted right now» and explained his position, saying: «I'm obviously not invading your rights, because I have no obligation to bake you a cake. It's my cake, it's my shop, you don't have a right to my cake.» Politicon describes itself as an unconventional political convention, which brings together important figures in American politics and entertainment for a weekend of political discourse, just ahead of the midterm elections.
