Η χθεσινή παρουσία του πρωθυπουργού στη Βουλή ήταν τραγική. Κι αυτό γιατί ήταν ομολογία και αποκάλυψη της απόλυτης πολιτικής παρακμής. Ο άνθρωπος που διοικεί τη χώρα δεν ήταν σε θέση να εγγυηθεί τη δημοκρατική νομιμότητα, απέφυγε να δώσει ουσιαστικές και πειστικές απαντήσεις στα καίρια ερωτήματα της αντιπολίτευσης, κατέφευγε διαρκώς σε ψεύδη, παιδαριώδεις υπεκφυγές, αστείες δικαιολογίες. Το χειρότερο όμως είναι ότι στη βάση όλων αυτών υπερασπίστηκε το καθεστώς των παρακολουθήσεων που ο ίδιος δημιούργησε.
Kad bismo u jednoj rečenici trebali sažeti što je sve napravio u istom danu, ona bi glasila ovako: Prvo je de facto priznao Kosovo, potom je zabranio Europride, istovremeno imenujući Anu Brnabić za novu-staru mandatarku Vlade. I sad svi pričaju o toj zabrani koja jeste bitna stvar, a gotovo nitko o dogovoru između Srbije i Kosova.

Deadly clashes flared in Iraq on Monday after hundreds of people stormed its government palace, an ominous turn of events that has plunged the country even deeper into political turmoil.
The protesters, fiercely loyal supporters of the influential Shiite cleric Moqtada al-Sadr, had been enraged by his pledge to leave Iraqi politics—although he has made similar vows before and failed to follow through on them. Some experts say Sadr’s announcement was a dangerous, desperate ploy to maintain his power and galvanize his base.

How the International Community Turned Its Back
Life under the Taliban is the worst women’s rights crisis on the planet. When the Taliban returned to power last August, they imposed immediate and brutal restrictions, the harshest of which were reserved for women. They quickly imposed a ban on girls’ secondary education, which remains in place despite domestic and international demands to lift it. They also placed restrictions on women’s movement, requiring women to be accompanied by a male family member while traveling, and women’s dress, ordering women to cover their faces in public. Girls and women are also no longer allowed to play sports.
