Mocking And Ridiculing The Platforms Of Americas Democracy…
The platforms reacted to Columbia University President Nemat Shafiq’s request from the New York Police to break up the students’ sit-in and remove them from the building, and to ask the police to remain on the university campus until May 17 to ensure that the sit-in does not return.
Indeed, the New York Police raided the Columbia University campus with riot gear, used stairs to enter the building through the windows, and then began evacuating demonstrators and journalists from the vicinity of Hamilton Hall, where students and professors were protesting at the university, and arrested about 300 people from the sit-ins.
The next day, protesters demonstrated in front of the university to denounce the dispersal of the sit-in, and raised banners saying, “Shame on Shafiq,” in reference to university president Nemat Shafiq, and others saying, “No to the police on campus.”
Pro-Palestinian students also took over a hall at Columbia University and called it “Hind Hall,” in honor of the Palestinian girl Hind Rajab, who was martyred in the Gaza War when she was six years old.
The Hamilton Building at Columbia University was known as a historical building with a long record of protests,
The French Parliament Will Create A Commission Of…
The National Assembly, the lower house of the French parliament, on Thursday unanimously approved the creation of a commission of inquiry to investigate sexual abuse and harassment in the film, television, theater, fashion and advertising sectors. The commission will begin its work in mid-May and will make its conclusions public six months later, in November. It’s the answer to one specific request of the actress and director Judith Godrèche, considered a central figure of the so-called French #MeToo movement, similar to the American one born in 2017 from the accusations made against the American film producer Harvey Weinstein.
Godrèche, now 52, accused directors Benoît Jacquot and Jacques Doillon of sexual assault for two incidents that occurred in the late 1980s, when she was a minor. Both directors have denied the allegations.
The Commission will take care of it of both minors and adults and aims to “identify mechanisms and errors that allow abuse and violence”, but also to establish the responsibilities of each party involved and provide recommendations for the “necessary responses to be implemented”.

No Way Out, When The Bad Weather Ends
“There was no way out”, explains Paolo Sottocorona in his weather forecast for Wednesday 1st May. Well, the arrival of bad weather on the day of the holiday was predicted but how long will it last? The disturbance arrived from the west, making itself felt especially in the north and centre: “There is already some rain”, explains the meteorologist on Tg La7. Precipitation will also affect large areas in the south, such as the intense phenomena expected on the Gargano. Between Veneto and Emilia Romagna there could be less rain, but “in the north-west areas, Piedmont and Valle d’Aosta, we are talking about exceptionally heavy rainfall, and this also partly applies to the north-east, Liguria, Tuscany”.
On Thursday 2 May there is some improvement in the south, on the lower Adriatic side. But the phenomena will continue in the central Tyrrhenian areas, explains Sottocorona. “There are 48 hours of rather intense bad weather”, summarizes the expert who predicts “a certain attenuation for Friday 3 May, because in the north and center there will still be some rain but less intense”. In short, “it takes three days” to get out of it.

Index Abroad Russias War In Ukraine Indexs Wednesday…
The aid voted by the American House of Representatives will not win the war for Ukraine, but it will be enough for them to hold on for a while longer – this is what InfoStart wrote in its latest analytical article. “They can get enough artillery shells for a year,” Carnegie Foundation researcher Michael Kofman told a London newspaper. That is why he believes that Kiev will calm down somewhat as a result of the aid, while Moscow will become more and more nervous, as Putin expected that the West would get tired of supporting Ukraine, and thus he would be able to easily force Ukraine to surrender.
So Putin’s frustration may be huge right now.
Mainly because May 9, the day of victory, is approaching again, and again the Russian troops have not achieved key results, so Putin will not be able to stand up to his people. Their troops are advancing, but this means about a thousand dead on the Russian side every day, which is a huge price for the capture of Khasiv Yar. However, this could open the way to the West for Moscow, so the troops are pushing forward without any regrets.

The European Commission is supporting the academic projects of 324 Ukrainian researchers with 4.5 million euros, as part of the EURIZON scholarship program, the Brussels body announced on Thursday.
The grantees will carry out research in all scientific fields, in cooperation with European scientific networks.

Chinas Role In Shifting The Balance Of Power…
Russia’s battlefield advantage in Ukraine has been bolstered by China’s provision of essential components and materials to sustain its defense industry, according to the top U.S. intelligence official addressing senators on Thursday.
While Russian forces continue to make progress in Ukraine and target critical infrastructure through bombings, Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines highlighted Beijing’s support as a key factor in tilting the momentum in Moscow’s favor.
Although China has refrained from supplying lethal weapons for Russia’s invasion, it has contributed vital technology and tools to enhance its military capabilities, she explained.
Haines emphasized that China’s actions are part of a broader strategy to strengthen ties with Russia and Iran, showcasing a geopolitical shift in the region.
U.S. officials have previously noted China’s assistance in providing dual-use drone and rocket technology, satellite imagery, and machine tools crucial for Russia’s defense production, blurring the lines between civilian and military applications.
Regarding the conflict in Ukraine, Haines pointed out that Russian President Vladimir Putin is leveraging current trends to his advantage, while Ukraine faces challenges in securing additional military aid from the U.S. and Europe.
