Renate Holzeisen argued that the World Health Organization was heavily influenced by Bill Gates, who, after the United States' exit from the WHO, would have been, through his foundation, along with GAVI, the main financier of the organization. She described GAVI as a powerful lobbying organization for the vaccine industry. According to Holzeisen, the WHO's European Immunization Agenda 2030 aimed to promote support for vaccination campaigns among healthcare personnel and politicians, also by identifying or creating "champions" and "heroes" of immunization. She also criticized the proposal to use result-based incentives to motivate healthcare workers to promote immunization, labeling these measures as illegitimate forms of corruption. Referring to statements made by representatives of Italian politics and institutions, which she deemed illogical and lacking scientific and legal ethics, Holzeisen asked what the advantage was for politicians chosen as "champions of immunization" by Gates and his allies. #Vaccini #Immunizzazione #OMS (translated)

SHADES wrote that unions from France Télévisions had denounced France 2's coverage of the demonstrations on October 17, which they referred to as "propaganda." According to his message, the CFDT criticized a program that repeatedly aired images of violence accompanied by anxiety-inducing music and devoted less than two minutes to the demands. SHADES also recalled that Acrimed had denounced a similar imbalance on France 2 during the high school mobilizations, with 8% of the broadcast time dedicated to the demands. #France #Médias #Manifestations (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)

BTS Daily Chile pointed out that the huaso blankets worn by BTS members during their last concert in Chile were from Catrón, a Chilean brand specialized in traditional huasa clothing. According to the account, they were handmade in Chile, on a craft loom and with single-thread acrylic pearl yarn. The post stated that they cost $46,800 CLP, approximately US$50, and measured 127 × 98 cm. It also described the fabric as warm, soft, and durable, and mentioned that there were designs in different colors and combinations. Among the models promoted by the brand, it identified No. 18 —in shades of lilac, purple, and white— as the one Jin had worn. https://t.co/iKwSi9Wah0 #BTS #Chile #ModaTradicional (translated)

Press summaries have linked Dominique Rizet's desire to demonstrate on October 17 against the high cost of living to his comments on BFMTV during the Yellow Vests mobilization in December 2018. The account recalled that he had then expressed satisfaction with the number of arrests and had described as "unacceptable" the speech of a lawyer denouncing preventive arrests, according to sequences documented by Acrimed. Press summaries also cited alerts from the Defender of Rights regarding violations of the freedom to protest and criticisms from Amnesty concerning preemptive police custody ahead of demonstrations. The account mentioned the 7,000 arrests related to the student movement and reported that a commissioner explained this week in Le Canard enchaîné that the goal was to intimidate students and parents. Finally, he compared diesel, which he claimed had risen from about €1.53/L in 2018 to an average national price of €2.348/L on October 14, 2026. A full tank of 60 liters would thus have increased from about 92 to 141 euros, while food prices would have risen by approximately 31% since 2018. Press summaries presented this situation as ironic, considering that the high cost of living now affects commentators who had previously observed social anger from a distance. https://t.co/wL4ynpwH8T #Giletsjaunes #manifestation #précarité (translated)

Eli Vieira claimed to have discovered that the text from the lawyer accompanying the threat letter published by Ana Elisa was 94% generated by artificial intelligence. He emphasized that this did not prove that the threat was fabricated, but he said he would not be surprised by that possibility given what he described as Ana Elisa's dishonest behavior, who had denied authorship of publications whose authenticity, according to him, had been witnessed and proven. Vieira also criticized the media coverage, saying that many outlets accepted the threat allegation without question due to political bias. As examples, he cited the cases of Jussie Smollett and the false attack with a swastika on the belly of a woman from Rio Grande do Sul in 2018. He stated that at least 15% of hate crimes were fabricated and that the sociologist responsible for this calculation had warned that the number was an underestimate. #IA #HateCrime #Imprensa (translated)

Press briefs reported that Acrimed denounced the media treatment of the high school student movement. According to this organization, editorialists, by relaying the government’s thesis of manipulation by LFI, were obscuring the demands of the youth and contributing to justifying repression. https://t.co/TJycoa0UNx #média #répression #lycéen (translated)

Press Briefs described a strong rise in tensions on the eve of what the report referred to as the "act III" of the high school mobilization, scheduled for Tuesday, October 6. According to the author, more than 5,000 people had been arrested in a few days, about 85% of whom were minors, and nearly 200 students had been injured. He cited several serious injuries: a 16-year-old had lost the use of an eye in Tours, a 14-year-old had been seriously injured in the jaw and teeth in Saint-Ouen-l’Aumône, a high school student had been injured in the eye in Argenteuil, and on Monday in Lens, a 15-year-old had his hand blown off by the explosion of a de-escalation grenade. Press Briefs added that six investigations by the IGPN were recorded on Monday afternoon. The author reminded that the demands were particularly about the lack of teachers and staff, overcrowded classes, learning conditions, inequalities in resources, and Parcoursup. He reported that the Minister of the Interior, Laurent Nuñez, had stated that he had given no instructions aimed at limiting the action of the law enforcement agencies nor requested that they forgo their intermediate weaponry. Press Briefs also estimated that the media coverage gave a dominant place to damage, clashes, and law enforcement, to the detriment of the demands and the use of force. In support of this criticism, the author cited a count by Acrimed covering four days of 1 PM and 8 PM news programs on France 2. Of the 24 minutes and 53 seconds dedicated to mobilizations, 19 minutes and 26 seconds, nearly 78%, were said to have focused on violence and clashes. The demands received 1 minute and 56 seconds, a potential disproportionate police response 47 seconds, and the government's accusations against LFI 2 minutes and 58 seconds. Press Briefs also reported that the League of Human Rights, the Lawyers' Union of France, and the Magistrates' Union had criticized the police response and raised concerns about the rights of minors and the rule of law. The Magistrates' Union had described it as brutal and inappropriate for a movement composed mainly of young people, according to the author. #Lyceens #Mobilisation #ViolencesPolicieres (translated)

Os resultados do PISA 2025 revelam uma queda estrutural nas aprendizagens dos alunos em Portugal, acentuada pela pandemia e pela aplicação acrítica de políticas educativas que diluíram a exigência, exigindo uma urgente recuperação da responsabilidade e do rigor na escola. #PISA2025 #Educação #Exigência

Hoy en @ColeccionesRSP les platico que para revelar los verdaderos detalles de un insecto minúsculo no se logra con un solo disparo de cámara, sino combinando cientos de imágenes en una sola pieza. Hoy revisamos "Jewel Longhorn Beetle", una obra de Levon Biss de 1975. Para lograr este nivel de registro, el autor no tomó una fotografía tradicional, sino que utilizó la técnica de la microescultura. Este método consiste en capturar cientos de fotografías individuales de un mismo espécimen bajo diferentes enfoques microscópicos. Al unir todas estas capas, se genera una sola imagen definitiva, impresa sobre papel y montada en acrílico, que expone las texturas y los colores metálicos del escarabajo con total claridad. Al trabajar de esta forma, la pieza funciona como un mapa físico que nos deja estudiar la estructura del insecto, revelando formas que a simple vista son imposibles de notar. Porque el valor de este tipo de registro visual no está solo en mostrar un espécimen, sino en darnos la capacidad técnica de entender el diseño exacto de la naturaleza. Hoy les comparto "Jewel Longhorn Beetle" de Levon Biss (1975). #LevonBiss #Microescultura #FotografíaCientífica #Microescultura #FotografíaCientífica #NaturePhotography
