Press reports stated that a Macronist deputy estimated in *Le Parisien* that it would be difficult to change public opinion after the tragedy in Lens, where a 15-year-old teenager allegedly had his hand blown off by a police grenade, and that the other option would be to give in to the demands. A minister criticized the Minister of Education, Édouard Geffray, for his delay in understanding the situation, questioning the choice of a technocrat for this position. According to *Le Figaro*, intelligence services anticipated a convergence between high school students, parents, teachers, and other groups who felt neglected. Press reports added that the indicators were in the red and that the services observed a growing politicization of the movement, on the eve of planned student marches on Tuesday. *Libération* saw in the degradation of the movement a sign of a gap between political power and society. When asked about the violent nature of the mobilization, sociologist Patrick Vassort responded that it was not necessarily more violent than previous ones and reminded that the student revolts of 1968, 1973, and 1986 also involved violence. #Lycéens #Mobilisation #Violence (translated)

Thunderclap Newman was een Engelse band, die tijdens de jaarwisseling 1968/1969 werd geformeerd door gitarist Pete Townshend van The Who. De band wist met de single Something in the Air in Europa de hitlijsten te halen, maar was nauwelijks bekend in de Verenigde Staten. In 2016 werd de band door Rolling Stone opgenomen in hun lijst van 40 greatest one-album wonders. Hun single Something in the Air, een Britse nummer één hit uit 1969, blijft in trek voor tv-commercials, filmsoundtracks en compilaties. De band bracht het veelgeprezen rockalbum Hollywood Dream en de drie singles Accidents, The Reason en Wild Country uit (die op het album verschenen). https://hvdommelen.nl/ru/Thunderclap.html
O jornalismo brasileiro perdeu hoje um de seus mais importantes nomes: Zuenir Ventura. Ao longo de sete décadas, ele ajudou a narrar e até mesmo a construir, por meio de suas reportagens e de seu compromisso com a democracia e a liberdade de expressão, a história de nosso país. Zuenir não se calou frente à censura imposta pelo regime autoritário – registrado tão bem no seu livro “1968 – o Ano que não Terminou”. Sempre lutou pela redemocratização e, mesmo após termos reconquistado a liberdade, manteve o seu jornalismo como uma poderosa ferramenta para a defesa dos direitos humanos. Foi assim com sua ampla cobertura sobre a morte de Chico Mendes, que desvendou ao Brasil não apenas uma investigação sobre o crime, mas os conflitos fundiários e a opressão presentes na Amazônia. Fez o mesmo com suas reportagens sobre a chacina de Vigário Geral, que permitiu a muitos brasileiros entenderem, mais de perto, a violência e a divisão social do Rio de Janeiro. Aos familiares, amigos e colegas de trabalho de Zuenir Ventura deixo os meus mais profundos sentimentos. E a certeza de que suas obras continuarão sendo um exemplo de jornalismo de qualidade, com os olhos sempre voltados à construção de um país mais justo. #Jornalismo #LiberdadeDeExpressão #Democracia
