HWL wrote that Europe had severely criticized the USA after Donald Trump's new diesel deal with Russia and claimed that Scott Bessent had subsequently exposed a historical failure. According to HWL, the EU had spent more money on Russian oil than on support for Ukraine throughout the war. HWL accused European leaders of taking a morally superior position despite having, according to the writer, financed both sides in the war. HWL also asked why the media and politicians criticized the USA without acknowledging what the writer described as Europe's own failure. https://t.co/TAv80BT7th #politikeuropa #USA #Ryssland (translated)

Bella, organizer of the Movement on the 11th, stated that Tarcísio closed all subway lines after the demonstration, even though he knew there would be a large number of people. She used insulting terms to refer to him and said that he would leave his position, even if it meant force. #Tarcísio #Metrô #Protesto (translated)

Planeta do Futebol reported that, after an unfavorable court decision, the Fla-Flu Consortium asked the court to reject a new appeal from Vasco regarding ticket sales for the match against Boca Juniors. The concessionaire stated that the club should assume the risks of having sold tickets while the injunction could still be suspended. The Consortium argued that the appeal had lost its object due to the proximity of the deadline and that it repeated already rejected arguments. It advocated for the match to be held at Nilton Santos Stadium and stated that there would still be time to reorganize the event. According to the publication, Vasco urgently requested reconsideration of the suspension and claimed that it had begun sales for Maracanã after receiving court authorization. The club argued that the capacity of Nilton Santos, which is 44,661 people, was less than the 46,014 tickets sold, which would require cancellations and refunds. It also pointed out the need to accommodate 4,000 visiting fans and maintain separation areas between the supporters. The appeal from Vasco and the statement from the Fla-Flu Consortium were awaiting analysis from Judge Suely Lopes Magalhães, reported Planeta do Futebol, based on ESPN Brazil. #Vasco #Maracanã #Futebol (translated)

Xico Graziano stated that a report by the magazine VEJA about supposed payments linked to Lula had provoked a reaction within the PT. According to him, PT members denied the accusations, said there was no evidence, and echoed a contestation from the Federal Police. In summarizing the report, Graziano said that banker Vorcaro reported having negotiated with João Vaccari Neto, former treasurer of the PT, payments to obtain access to pension funds for federal employees. According to the excerpt of the article he shared, it would amount to R$ 30 million in cash destined for the Lula Institute to fund a documentary about Lula abroad, in addition to another undisclosed amount paid directly to the institute, managed by Paulo Okamotto. Graziano added that Vorcaro had provided details to the Attorney General's Office (PGR), which did not proceed with the case as it deemed there was insufficient evidence. The banker’s defense, according to the account reproduced by the author, mentioned WhatsApp messages and records of withdrawals and deliveries of money. Graziano expressed belief that VEJA would not publish the report without confidence in the material and assessed that the published piece would merely be a preview of new revelations. He considered the story credible, although there might not be definitive proof, and compared the case to the Atibaia site, which, according to him, was not registered in Lula's name in the registry office. In Graziano's view, the report would harm the PT and Lula's campaign, discouraging voters and causing some to give up on voting. He stated that the case would reduce Lula's chances of reversing a defeat in the first round. #Lula #Petismo #VEJA (translated)

IaraGB wrote that, according to a report by Daniel Vorcaro to VEJA, the former treasurer of the PT, João Vaccari Neto, allegedly demanded around R$ 30 million in cash, off the books, for Banco Master to enter the pension funds of federal employees Banco do Brasil, Caixa Asset, and Previ. The amount, according to the publication, was said to be intended for the Lula Institute, led by Paulo Okamotto, to finance a documentary about Lula abroad, directed by Oliver Stone and featuring testimonies from allies like Walfrido Warde. Vorcaro also allegedly reported the payment of another undisclosed amount directly to the institute. The author stated that, according to the banker’s account, the approach was made by Augusto Lima, then a partner and CEO of Master, and Jaques Wagner allegedly mediated the meeting with Vaccari. The allegation was said to have been presented to the PGR in June, in the second testimony, but was filed away due to lack of evidence, as the payment was said to have been made in cash. According to the publication, the defense mentioned WhatsApp messages, names of people who allegedly picked up the money, and delivery routes. #Lula #Corrupção #Política (translated)

Daniel Schatz wrote that MUCF, after information from Säpo about connections to the Eritrean regime, demanded back just over one million kronor from the Eritrean National Association. Almost two years later, the authority had still not sent any invoice, he claimed, and it was only when Kvartal started asking questions that the oversight was discovered. Schatz criticized the Tidö government for not abolishing the authority and described it as unforgivable. https://t.co/Q3eNOdNVMe #Sverige #politik #myndigheter (translated)

The magazine VEJA claimed to have accessed reports in which banker Daniel Vorcaro said he negotiated with the former treasurer of the PT, João Vaccari Neto, payments to gain access to pension funds for federal employees. According to Vorcaro, R$ 30 million in cash would have been paid to the Instituto Lula, managed by Paulo Okamoto, to finance a documentary about Lula abroad, in addition to another undisclosed amount paid directly to the institution. VEJA reported that Vorcaro provided the details to the Attorney General's Office (PGR), which did not proceed with the case due to a lack of evidence, as the payments were allegedly made in cash. The banker’s defense, in turn, stated that there would be WhatsApp messages, records of who withdrew the money, and information about the locations and routes of the deliveries. #DanielVorcaro #BancoMaster #Brasil #Corrupção #Lula #PolíticaBrasil (translated)

"The reality is that the LFI is ambiguous regarding violence because violence is part of its political project to plunge the country into chaos until the presidential elections." Amidst this tension, French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu announced that there would be no classes in secondary schools until the end of this week. #ProtestosEstudantis #EducaçãoFrança #MaioDe68 (translated)

Jessica Stegrud wrote that rapes, abuse, and neglect in elderly care must cease. She stated that the Sweden Democrats had long raised the issues and proposed, among other things, mandatory background checks, the option to choose the gender of care staff, voluntary camera surveillance, mandatory probationary employment when references were lacking, and investments in qualified staff. She also called for consequences for politicians and civil servants who, according to her, concealed the problems or did not take responsibility. Stegrud argued that a mission to BRÅ was not enough and demanded a disaster commission. #jessicastegrud #äldreomsorg #trygghet #kriminalitet (translated)

Leandro Ruschel stated that if a resolution from Edson Fachin had been in effect the day before, Gilmar Mendes' intervention in the debate would not have occurred. According to Ruschel, the rule provided that requests made by individuals who were not parties to a case would go through the validation of the presidency of the STF before being forwarded to a rapporteur. If deemed unrelated to the original action, they would be distributed by lottery; if related to a similar case already underway in a minister's office, they would be sent to that judge by prevention. #STF #direito #justiça (translated)

Wow So, it was discovered that Israel had provided intelligence to the United Kingdom that there would be an attack sponsored by Iran at RAF Fairford.

All that has blossomed in me is Yours “Excellent fruits, both new and old; I have reserved them for You, oh my beloved.” Song of Solomon 7:13 There are new things being born within us. A decision we finally had the courage to make. A prayer we began to say differently. A desire to restart. A hope that, after so long, has reappeared. These are new fruits. But there are also old fruits. That prayer God answered when no one else could help. The door He opened when all seemed closed. The night we cried thinking we wouldn't make it to the next day — and we did. There are deliverances that time should not erase. There are scars that do not exist to remind us of the pain, but to remind us of who held us through it. These are the old fruits. Perhaps that is why this little verse is so beautiful. It speaks not only of what we will still experience but also of what God has already done. Sometimes we are so worried about the next blessing that we forget the blessings we already carry. We ask: “Lord, do something new.” And He might simply ask us: “Do you still remember what I have already done?” Remember. The time when you thought there would be no way out. The person who appeared at just the right moment. The strength that came when you had none left. The door that closed and, some time later, you understood that it was also protection. Remember how many times God took care of you quietly. These old fruits remain precious. And there is something even deeper in this passage: all of them are reserved for the Beloved. We do not live just to accumulate achievements, answers, stories, and blessings. In the end, it all returns to Him. The strength we receive is from Him. The opportunity that arose came through His hands. The faith that survived was sustained by Him. Even the ability to begin again was born from His mercy. Maybe today is a good day to open the garden of our lives before Jesus and say: “Lord, here are the new and old fruits. Here is what I am beginning and what I have already gone through. Here are my victories, my scars, my answered prayers, and even the tears that taught me to trust. I don’t want to keep anything just for myself. All that has blossomed in my life belongs to You.” For the greatest fruit of a life with God is not what we can achieve. It is to reach the end of so many stories still being able to say: “Jesus, after everything I have lived, my heart remains Yours.” So be it! I am Júlio Schneider. If this prayer has blessed your heart, share it with someone you love. It might be exactly the word that person needed to hear today. Think about it… while God blesses you! 🙏 Would you like to pray this prayer with me? Soon I will share the link of the Prayer on YouTube, stay tuned. #Fé #Esperança #Gratidão (translated)

Journalists and members of the management of Globo in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo would be concerned about the impacts on the station's reputation if Renan Santos is not invited to the presidential debate; behind the scenes, there is an expectation that he will finish the election in 3rd place, ahead of other guests, in addition to the fear that Globo will repeat the 1989 episode when it was accused of favoring Fernando Collor in the dispute. #Globo #Eleições2024 #DebatePresidencial (translated)

Tidö+V har 202 mandat. Nu får vi en moderat talman eftersom S inte ens styr sitt eget regeringsunderlag. I sig ett haveri. Norlén väntas vara mer neutral jämfört med Ygeman/Nilsson. Därför fördelas nu sannolikt fyra voteringsförsök varannan gång 1-4 till Andersson/Kristersson. #politik #Valkamp #Sverige

Existe uma regra de ouro no Direito: você não escolhe o seu juiz. Processos são distribuídos por sorteio. Pois não é isso que tem acontecido no STF. Lá, tem-se podido escolher o ministro, sob os fundamentos mais forçados possíveis. A menos de duas semanas da eleição, o PT protocolou uma petição dentro de uma ação sobre a tragédia de Mariana/MG (a ADPF 1.178) pedindo investigação contra a campanha de Flávio Bolsonaro, alegando “interferência estrangeira”. Um caso não tem nada a ver com o outro, mas eles deram um jeito de inventar uma conexão, sobre a questão internacional envolvida. Por que não levar ao TSE? Porque no TSE haveria sorteio (tudo o que eles não queriam). Essa manobra tem nome técnico, judge shopping, mas o nome popular é chicana mesmo.

🚨 Governo acelera plano de "socorro" de até R$ 20 bilhões para clubes brasileiros. Governo Federal e clubes negociam um plano para pagar dívidas com FINANCIAMENTOS DO BNDES. A ideia é discutida há meses. A proposta prevê uma LINHA DE CRÉDITO de até R$ 20 bilhões para clubes e SAFs, com juros mais baixos, para substituir dívidas caras por empréstimos mais baratos. Os recursos viriam do superávit financeiro de 2025. Bancos concederiam os empréstimos e assumiriam o risco do crédito, em vez da União. O dinheiro poderia pagar dívidas trabalhistas e de direitos de imagem; débitos com Receita, INSS e FGTS; empréstimos bancários e dívidas cíveis; além de financiar infraestrutura das categorias de base. Ficariam de fora salários atuais, contratações, despesas do dia a dia e lucros ou dividendos de donos de SAFs. O uso indevido do dinheiro ou o atraso das parcelas anteciparia o vencimento da dívida e excluiria o clube do programa. O prazo para quitar os empréstimos seria de até 20 ANOS, com 2 anos de CARÊNCIA. A previsão apresentada é de PERDA DE ATÉ R$ 1 BILHÃO POR ANO apenas em patrocínios caso as bets acabem, algo que a maioria dos clubes é CONTRA. Também haveria impactos em placas publicitárias, na publicidade das TVs que compram direitos de transmissão e nos direitos de nome de campeonatos. 🗞️ @UOL | @_rodrigomattos_ 📸 Rafael Ribeiro/CBF #Futebol #ClubesBrasileiros #Financiamento
