In Germany’s Hanau, a city still haunted by the 2020 racist massacre, around 50 vehicles were found smeared with what police believe is human blood.


Swastikas were drawn across cars, postboxes and buildings, sparking alarm and outrage.


The act has reopened wounds from the far-right shooting five years ago, when a German gunman killed nine people of immigrant origin, including four Turkish citizens, in a racially motivated attack that shook the nation.


Authorities say the motive behind this latest incident remains unknown.

In the past twenty years, famine has been declared only six times.
Two of them were in 2025.
The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification defines famine as the point when hunger turns deadly: When one in five families faces starvation and death becomes routine.
This year, Gaza and Sudan have made it to the list, marked by war, siege and genocide.

In early October 2025, the accounts of three major Palestinian human rights organisations vanished from YouTube, resulting in the removal of over 700 videos that documented extensive footage of violations of international law by Israel in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

According to a report by The Intercept published on November 4, the deleted content from Gaza-based Al-Haq, West Bank-based Al Mezan Center for Human Rights, and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) — the oldest human rights organisation in Gaza according to the UN — included the channels’ archives as well. According to the groups, terminations occurred without prior warning.

Human rights advocates say the move censors Palestinian voices and erases evidence of Israeli war crimes.

A YouTube spokesperson told The Intercept that it removed the accounts after a review triggered by US sanctions, citing its obligation to comply with applicable trade and sanctions laws. In September, the Trump administration imposed sanctions against groups that had co-operated with the International Criminal Court in investigating Israeli officials for war crimes.

In Daraya, on the outskirts of Damascus, a group of young Syrian artists have turned the ruins of a war-torn house into a canvas honouring families lost to Syria’s civil war.

The project was led by Bilal Shoraba, an activist and graffiti artist who created around 30 murals as quiet acts of defiance during the regime's siege of the town between 2012 and 2016.

After returning to Daraya, Shoraba launched a workshop with the Dar Ebla Cultural Center to teach local youth the art of graffiti.

The Assad regime was ousted in December last year, ending nearly 14 years of civil war that killed about half a million people, displaced millions, and left tens of thousands missing.

A new study reveals that just 3,000 steps a day can slow the buildup of proteins that cause Alzheimer’s in the brain, potentially delaying brain aging by up to seven years in high-risk individuals.


Another study also released in 2025, which followed 3,000 older adults over the span of 10 years, showed that regular walks significantly slows cognitive decline, even in individuals with the highest genetic risk.


So, how does it work?

Two proteins cause Alzheimer’s: amyloid-beta forms sticky plaques between brain cells, -slowing communication- while tau tangles inside cells, blocking signals and killing them. Walking boosts blood flow and helps clear the proteins.

Wikipedia’s page on the Gaza genocide was locked after editors clashed over its opening line declaring Israel’s war on Palestine’s Gaza as a genocide.

The site’s co-founder Jimmy Wales later said the article “fails to meet high standards” and breaches Wikipedia’s neutrality by presenting a “highly contested” claim as fact.


The page was reopened for editing on November 5.

Displaced Palestinians with nowhere else to go are living among the dead in Gaza’s cemeteries after losing their homes to two years of relentless Israeli bombardment.

Some 30 families are currently sheltering in one cemetery in the southern city of Khan Younis, unable to return to their destroyed homes and neighbourhoods now occupied by Israeli forces, despite a ceasefire agreement last month.

The vast majority of Gaza’s population of over two million people has been displaced since Israel launched its genocidal war on the enclave on October 7, 2023.
