Swiss prosecution of Lukashenko hit man is watershed moment for justice in Belarus

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:45:00 GMT

Sviatlana Tsikhanouskaya is head of the United Transitional Cabinet and leader of democratic forces of Belarus.“Do it in a way so that I don’t feel any pain.”According to a self-confessed member of Belarusian dictator Alexander Lukashenko’s murder squads, those were the last words of missing politician Yury Zacharenka.For over two decades, the relatives of Zacharenka, Viktar Hanchar and other disappeared Belarusian politicians have lived with uncertainty, not knowing the fate of their loved ones. And now, one of those who may be responsible for their disappearance will face justice in Switzerland, in a historic case that will set a global precedent.Applying the principle of universal jurisdiction in a case of enforced disappearance in Belarus for the first time, the trial marks a decisive step forward in the fight against impunity for crimes committed in my country. And it will show Lukashenko and other despots that they can’t dodge justice. Zacharenka was the minister of internal a...

Putin wants more land. The EU is racing to get there first

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:45:00 GMT

Vladimir Putin’s warmongering land-grab has pushed European Union leaders to make their own plans to expand. Moves are now under way to bring as many as eight new members into the 27-country bloc. But the historic drive for enlargement poses its own risks for the EU. Adding new states — potentially including the agricultural powerhouse of Ukraine — would open a Pandora’s Box of challenges. Sweeping internal reforms would be required, and that would likely trigger years of toxic infighting between current EU members. Despite the painful complexities of any enlargement process, Russia’s aggression has convinced some EU governments they can’t afford to wait. “This is now the moment to be bold and to change our approach to enlargement — to get the six Western Balkan countries, each and every one of them, and Ukraine and Moldova, clearly into our family,” Austrian foreign minister Alexander Schallenberg told POLITICO. “Enlargement is not a bureaucrati...

Children will die unless EU acts on medical equipment rules, warns doctor

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:45:00 GMT

A doctor who treats critically ill babies is warning that new EU quality control rules for medical equipment are so stringent they force manufacturers to discontinue the supply of devices used in lifesaving operations. In a plea to the European Commission to resolve the issue quickly as EU institutions ramp up after the summer recess, Damien Kenny, a congenital cardiologist in Dublin, said equipment shortages are leaving his colleagues no option but to perform more risky procedures on newborns and he fears that one day, a baby will die because they have no equipment to help them.“I’m afraid it will come whereby we have no solution,” Kenny told POLITICO. “In other words, there will be no therapy available and some will die as a consequence,” he said.In the meantime, a large group of children’s doctors faced with the daily grief of managing without well-established and effective products, such as catheters, stents and tiny balloons, have published a strategy for overcoming the s...

The secret to winning the Polish election: Bashing Tusk

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:45:00 GMT

KATOWICE, Poland — In the run-up to Poland’s October 15 general election, opposition leader Donald Tusk is the man the ruling nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party loves to hate.“When Donald Tusk says he has respect for working people, all working people must start to be afraid,” Poland’s Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki told a raucous election rally in the southern city of Katowice earlier this month. “Tusk is like a python that hugs, hugs, hugs until he suffocates. Watch out for him.” It’s part of a longstanding effort by PiS politicians to take any topic and repackage it as an ad hominem attack against Tusk.The favorite trick is to play on some of Poland’s deepest historical grievances and portray the pro-EU former president of the European Council as a pro-German — or even a Nazi — who will sell out the nation. One PiS senator even posted a photo of Tusk waving to a crowd next to one of Hitler giving a stiff-armed salute, noting that their methods were ...

Rishi Sunak hopes AI could be his legacy

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:45:00 GMT

NEW DELHI — With the clock likely ticking on his time in Downing Street, Rishi Sunak wants to secure a legacy on the world stage. The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) may be just what he needs.  The British prime minister faces a general election next year with his Conservative Party languishing 18 points behind the Labour opposition in the polls. But though Sunak told reporters travelling with him to the G20 leaders’ summit in India this weekend he was “entirely confident” he can still win re-election, U.K. government insiders say the PM already has one eye on his possible post-Downing Street legacy.  Sunak takes pride in how he has helped repair the U.K.’s diplomatic standing after the rancour of Boris Johnson’s premiership and Liz Truss’ brief but disastrous stint in power. He sees the Windsor Framework — the agreement on post-Brexit trade checks in Ireland which markedly improved U.K. relations with the EU and the U.S. — as his signature achievement...

Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez leaves a mark in memorable NFL debut

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:45:00 GMT

FOXBORO — The moment the Patriots drafted Christian Gonzalez in the first round last April, he filled an obvious need.Gonzalez projected as a starting cornerback for a team in desperate need of size and talent at the position, especially one with a long list of dangerous No. 1 receivers on its schedule. That need became more dire over the weekend when the Pats placed second-year corner Jack Jones on injured reserve.With Jones out, there was no question Gonzalez would start Week 1 against the Eagles and have to corral one of the most dangerous receiver duos in the NFL: A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.Four quarters later, check, and check.Gonzalez posted seven tackles, a pass breakup and one sack in his NFL debut Sunday. He allowed multiple catches to Brown and Smith, but denied the most critical: a fourth-and-2 throw with less than two minutes remaining that gave the Patriots another drive to potentially win the game. Gonzalez jumped Smith’s in-breaking route and nearly inte...
