Torsten Heinrich wrote that the proliferation of jet-powered drone attack systems shows that delayed reactions to developments in the Ukraine war are only slightly better than no reaction at all. The threat had primarily consisted of slower drones with piston engines until a year ago. Intercept drones that would have been suitable against the new jet drones would be useless, he argued. Heinrich advocated for close collaboration with the Ukrainian armed forces and for the German defense industry to produce directly for Ukraine. This way, production capacity could be built while Ukrainian feedback conveyed the actual need. If the supplied weapons were needed in Germany, production could, according to Heinrich, be immediately switched to the Bundeswehr. The output would then be many times higher than without production for Ukraine, and the systems would better meet current requirements and unit prices than the interests of German drone companies targeting government contracts. Heinrich wrote that arms deliveries to Ukraine are also in Germany's interest because this way Germany could develop and manufacture in sufficient numbers those weapons that would be needed in a conflict with German involvement. #Drohnentechnologie #UkrainischeKriegsführung #Rüstungsindustrie (translated)

Press Briefs reported that 780 female and male students from 15 journalism schools had denounced, in a forum, the media coverage of high school mobilizations. The signatories believed that sensationalist editorial lines rendered the demands invisible and that some media omitted police violence in favor of the damage and incidents they attributed to people outside the movement. They also criticized some newsrooms for broadcasting images of minors without blurring their faces. The forum cited data from ACRIMED on the television news of France 2 between September 28 and October 1, 2026: 11 segments were dedicated to the mobilizations, of which 75% of the time focused on material damage, 8% on the demands, and 3% on police violence, which amounted to 47 seconds. The students said they observed a gap between what they saw on the ground and the media coverage, which they deemed contrary to journalistic ethics. They called on mainstream media to better contextualize the movement and take responsibility. The signatories came from the Journalism School of CY Cergy, Celsa – Paris, CFJ – Paris, ESJ – Lille, Journalism School of Grenoble, IFP – Paris, EJCAM – Marseille, IJBA – Bordeaux, IPJ – Paris, EDJ – Paris, CUEJ – Strasbourg, IUT of Lannion, EJC – Cannes, Master of Journalism of Metz, and EPJT – Tours. #journalisme #médiatique #désinformation (translated)

According to Impact, the young man had submitted 80 applications to become a nurse and received 80 rejections.

Impact shared an excerpt from France Info in which Mohamed, 18, explained that he obtained a general baccalaureate in mathematics and physics-chemistry and made 80 applications to IFSI, without receiving any admissions. He mentioned that he found himself without a school or job and had protested despite his peaceful temperament. Mohamed believed that the media primarily highlighted the damage and looting, to the detriment of the demands regarding purchasing power. He referenced the Yellow Vests, whose demonstrations had, in his opinion, achieved results, and expressed his desire to continue the mobilizations, without violence, until the demands were heard. He added that the rise in fuel prices now forced him to monitor every expense related to his travel and outings. #Manifestation #BAC #PouvoirDAchat (translated)

Anna Lewandowska said that Robert Lewandowski's farewell to FC Barcelona at Spotify Camp Nou was particularly painful. Due to traffic, she had gone to the stadium on a scooter and said she cried seeing Robert and Laura embrace. She had hoped until the end that the family would stay in Barcelona, a city to which she said she had become deeply attached. She explained that she did not want to move and had even considered making trips back and forth with the family to join Robert, before concluding that it would not be viable in the long term. She also mentioned the memories of Munich, where her husband had reached the peak of his career, and the emotions related to football in Barcelona, particularly the support from Poles who came to watch Robert's matches. Anna Lewandowska said she had maintained good relations with the club president, Joan Laporta, who had come to see her at the stadium and assured her that Barcelona would always be his home. She mentioned her Edan studio, her team, and her walks near the beach. At the end of her stay, she had participated in a 10 km race; three or four people had come to say a few farewell words to her. She added that her loved ones had organized a party for her on the beach. According to her, FC Barcelona remembered Robert and had listed him among its legends. She also believed that her husband had become very attached to the club, beyond his contract. Now in Chicago, the family felt good, she said, even if the city represented a step. She described Poland, Barcelona, and Chicago as their different homes and mentioned the difficulties of moving, from reorganizing schools to administrative procedures. #Barcelone #Football #Nostalgie (translated)

Impact reported that Tiziri Digne, presented in the publication as the wife of Lucas Digne, had downplayed the looting on October 17. In an Instagram story, she recalled that historical episodes such as July 14, 1789, May '68, the July Days, and the February Revolution of 1848 were also marked by destruction and confrontations, and that they had contributed, according to her, to current rights and social gains. She defended the claims of Gen Z, parents, lawyers, firefighters, and caregivers, and argued that the looting of a luxury storefront or the burning of a bus stop should not distract from deeper issues. She specifically cited the lack of resources in schools and hospitals, sexual violence in schools and after-school programs, police violence, inequalities, and racism. She also mentioned Mr. Nunez and criticized the fact that presidential candidates wearing electronic bracelets or already condemned continue to seek the highest offices. Tiziri Digne finally expressed that the contested struggles today could be celebrated in the future. #Révolution #Injustice #ChangementSocial (translated)
