Jez Corden claims that Xbox is NOT paying $400 million for the development of Physint. He explains that that figure would be much closer to what PlayStation was willing to invest in the project. Xbox would be contributing only a fraction of those $400 million and, in addition, the agreement would include improvements for the development of OD and licenses for Physint for film and television.

Under police protection, the Gaza Tribunal took place in Hamburg. An event by lawyers about the genocide in Gaza. As a press representative, I took on a contribution regarding the role of the media. There were attempts at intimidation beforehand. So much so that the police came for security on the day of the event. The venue, the community center in Wilhelmsburg, was plastered with incitement. The event hall received an email demanding that I should not appear. I firmly opposed this. And ultimately, the hall was not pressured. This is important. Civil society must never be intimidated. At least this time the police were outside for protection, and not inside for monitoring. Either way, I would have traveled to Hamburg. The German Lawyers for International Law (DJfdV) organized a fantastic event. With important insights into the legal assessment of the genocide in Gaza and other sub-issues by experts such as Benjamin Düsberg, Ammar Boustami, Sebastian Scheerer, Yolanda Scheytt, and Alexander Gorski. My contribution was based on the accounts of the witness of the genocide, Abed Hassan. Abed made it clear through his personal experiences and records that German media should have been aware early on of specific genocidal acts. My colleague Fabian Goldmann also provided a brilliant contribution regarding the role of German media. I spoke about the fact that journalism must fearlessly, clearly, and loudly name this urgent truth - namely, that a genocide is taking place. Also, because the press should represent civil society against the powerful. The great German Jewish journalist Carl von Ossietzky, who was deported to a concentration camp by the Nazis for his truth, reminded us at the time that journalism should not shy away from this danger. The risk must be the driving force. Journalism must not be a "life insurance." In this sense, I view every attempt to be censored as praise. (translated)
However, the announcement by U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, who confirmed the invitation to the summit for Vladimir Putin, generated huge controversy, expressing hope that the Russian leader would sit down for talks with the leaders of the other countries. (translated)

The decision of the USA to invite Vladimir Putin to the G20 summit in Miami has caused controversy, and former president Aleksander Kwaśniewski assessed this move as a mistake, simultaneously advising President Karol Nawrocki to participate in the event but to maintain distance from the Kremlin.

NEVER GIVE UP, THAT IS THE STORY OF BARTŁOMIEJ LEMAŃSKI. ❤️ ⚪️: Debut at the level of the Polish national team, at just under 21 years old. ⚪️: High expectations. ⚪️: A quick grounding after an unsuccessful European Championship 2017 in front of his home crowd. ⚪️: An increasingly difficult moment in the club and fewer chances at the level of the Polish national team. Epizodic appearances during the tenure of Vital Heynen. ⚪️: Leaving Asseco Resovia, an unsuccessful adventure in Nysa, even more unsuccessful in Radom... ⚪️: A lot of off-sport problems and as he himself admitted, he had to mature, gain some experience, understand certain things, and above all work on his mentality. ⚪️: Direction Bełchatów and rebuilding himself at the TAURON Liga level under Grzegorz Łomacz. ⚪️: Two best league seasons and earning a transfer to PGE Projekt Warszawa and above all, a return to the national team. ⚪️: 6 years, 7 months, 18 days - exactly that long has passed since Bartłomiej Lemański's last official match in the Polish national team. ⚪️: A return to the Polish national team at the best possible moment, in the absence of leaders in that position. ⚪️: Establishing himself as a starting lineup in the Nations League competitions. ⚪️: THE THIRD best blocker in the Nations League 2026. ⚪️: At the age of 30 years, 4 months, 14 days winning the first gold medal in the senior national team, becoming one of the oldest in history to win his debut gold medal in the white and red. ⚪️: Two months later wins the European Championship 2026, becoming the best middle blocker of the entire tournament, scoring 13 points in the final. NEVER GIVE UP. NEVER. (translated)
Incomprehensible how this guy is maturing and how year by year he becomes a leader and captain of the Polish national team. He has taken the position of mental leader from Bartosz Kurek. Today's meeting showed best that Fornal becomes the boss in these important moments, who is responsible for everything and becomes irreplaceable. Photo: CEV #gangłysego (translated)
The Greens and SPD are now actually negotiating with the antisemitic SED with ties to organized crime, and are selling it to us as "this is democracy!"? But getting their own proposal passed with votes from the AfD is the end of democracy ("gateway to hell"). Except, of course, if it's a proposal from the SPD or Greens. 🤡 (translated)
No, Mr. Rhein. We need to talk about the CDU. About Jens Spahn and his mask deals. Billion-dollar risks for the taxpayers. And during a week of sessions? "Sick leave" on vacation in Sardinia. About Thomas Bareiß. Accident. Three injured. Drugs involved. According to the public prosecutor’s office, there are indications of a synthetic narcotic in his blood. He is being investigated. Or about CDU city councilors in Heidenau who acted together with the AfD against further stumbling stones. THAT is YOUR city image, Mr. Rhein. Stop constantly explaining migration as a problem. First, clean up in your OWN party. #NeverCDU (translated)
This match also showed the value of Nikola Grbic and his staff. They had a plan for this match and consistently executed it. As fans, we often "struggle" with some coaches over time because the same names and style are not to our liking. But damn, Grbic and his people deliver. Let them deliver in LA as well. (translated)
