This kind of stowaways do not always have the same luck

Photo: The Spanish coastguard.
On the photograph three stowaways are shown perched on the rudder of the oil and chemical tanker Alithini II.
Accoring to The Spanish coastguard men who stowed away on a tanker that arrived in the Canary Islands from Nigeria by balancing on its rudder just above the waterline.
The Maltese-flagged Alithini II arrived in Las Palmas in Gran Canaria on Monday afternoon after an 11-day voyage from Lagos in Nigeria, according to Marine Traffic, a ship-tracking website.
Spanish data shows migration by sea to the archipelago jumped 51% in the first five months of the year compared with a year earlier.
Perilous crossings to the Canaries from north Africa have increased dramatically since late 2019 after checks on Mediterranean routes were tightened.
Spanish data shows migration by sea to the archipelago jumped 51% in the first five months of the year compared with a year earlier.
In October 2020, four people stowed away on the rudder of an oil tanker from Lagos, hiding for 10 days before they were discovered by police as the vessel came into Las Palmas.

En chock!

Det händer alltid något i världen som man inte ens kan föreställa sig i förväg.
i Sverige kunde spermier användas för donation utan mäns tillstånd – det var en chock för alla.
 
Enligt SVT kan spermier ha använts för insemination utan tillstånd på Halmstad lasarett! En uppgiftsgranskning kan avslöja två fall där donatorbarn hittades av biologiska fäder som oberoende uppger att de aldrig donerat spermier. Däremot har de sökt hjälp från samma fertilitetsklinik. – Jag kan bara tycka synd om det, säger Halmstad kvinnoklinik verksamhetschef Maud Ankardal till SVT.
Emelie blev till med hjälp av donerade spermier vid kvinnokliniken på Länssjukhuset i Halmstad och föddes 1986, rapporterar Expressen.  När hon sedan i vuxen ålder kontaktade kliniken för uppgifter om donatorn, hade de ingen information att ge. 
För att få svar gjorde Emelie DNA-test och kunde genom släktforskare spåra sin donator till en man i Halmstad vid namn Zdravko.
För Zdravko kom Emelies existens som en chock, han hade aldrig donerat någon sperma. Däremot hade han i samband med en fertilitetsutredning med sin dåvarande fru lämnat spermieprov på kliniken.
Den fruktansvärda händelsen.

It suffers chronically from bots, fake accounts and other problems

Former US president Donald Trump's once-blocked Twitter  - but account reappeared on Saturday after the platform's new CEO Elon Musk announced he was lifting the ban.

Musk started a Twitter poll on Saturday, asking his legion of 117 million followers if Trump should be reinstated on the platform. 
Soon Trump's suspended account was reinstated, complete with the 59,000 tweets - he made them during his time on the platform.
However, Donald Trump was less than keen earlier in the day and said he had no interest in returning to Twitter. 
According to Trump Twitter is suffering from bots, fake accounts and that the problems it faced were almost incredible.

Banksy was there

Credit: Instagram by Martyn Reed, an artist, who said:
 "It’s beginning to look like Banksy is in Ukraine."
Unknow street artist, called Banksy has unveiled his latest artworks in the liberated Ukrainian town of Borodianka.
Borodianka was hit particularly hard by Russian airstrikes in the first few weeks of the conflict
The graffiti artist posted three images of the piece Friday on social media, with a simple caption reading Borodyanka, Ukraine - perhaps using an alternative spelling for the town's name.
Banksy is working in the war-torn country in Borodianka, located just about 35 miles northwest of the capital, Kyiv. 
It was home to 13,000 people before the war, but most fled after Russia's invasion. What was left of Borodianka, after intense shelling and devastating strikes, was then occupied by Russian forces, who moved in on February 28.
Look at one artwork, not officially claimed by the artist, depicted a man being flipped during a judo match with a little boy.
Another showed two children using a metal tank trap as a seesaw.
Borodianka was hit particularly hard by Russian airstrikes at the start of the invasion of Ukraine in February, with many buildings reduced to piles of rubble by long-range attacks.
The town has since been the focus of reconstruction efforts, with several tower blocks demolished as a result of damage caused by the fighting.

I felt a tremendous amount of power there - there was such a time in 2018 in November-Decembe

During the 2018 Moscow City Duma election Alexei Navalny supported independent candidates, most of whom were not allowed to participate in the elections, which led to mass street protests. 
Navalny led protests on urge a boycott of Russia's 2018 presidential election. Navalny was arrested on the day of the protest and then released the same day, pending trial.
I saw him.
I saw som extremely strong speachers on the edge of the Red Square.
The megaphone was directed towards the Kremlin administrative quarters.
The mood was ominous.
It didn't really do anything to stay there.
Previously.
In July 2019, Navalny was arrested, first for ten days, and then, almost immediately, for 30 days. On the evening of 28 July, he was hospitalised with severe damage to his eyes and skin. 
On 29 July 2019, Navalny was discharged from hospital and taken back to prison, despite the objections of his personal physician who questioned the hospital's motives.
Supporters of Navalny and journalists near the hospital were attacked by the police and many were detained.
