*Manchester Arena Inquiry: Bomb response shameful, says victim's dad, by Judith Moritz, BBC North of England correspondent* is a lead headline on the BBC News website this evening. As ever, the piece reports everything except the main point: the radical Islamic terrorism-related nature of the atrocity. *That* doesn't merit a single mention, even in passing. The language is, as ever, carefully chosen. It's a 'Manchester Arena Inquiry' and a 'Bomb response' and and 'attack' and a '2017 bombing', and the Islamist terrorist Salman Abedi is merely a 'bomber'. read more

Some of the issues that were clearly magnified through the lens of the pandemic are job insecurity, deficits in health systems, inequality, North-South relations, the United Nations’ failure to coordinate a collective effort, ... read more

White America’s Latest Fear Mongering Code Language
Perpetual fear of something is characteristic of the white American psyche. Especially when the fear is about non-white people. Among the newest race related fears haunting white people are ‘Critical Race Theory’ (CRT) and ‘Wokeness.’ Both of these terms are being used as harmful code language employed by both Democrats, and Republicans and promoted by their propaganda arm — the white-owned corporate media.

The data came from the Finnish Prostate Cancer Screening Trial which started in 1996–1999. A total of about 80,000 men were included in the study, of whom just under 32,000 were screened with the PSA test every four years. read more read more

Pakistan: Gender-Intentional Policy Can Make Agent Banking Work Better
WASHINGTON DC, Nov 29 (IPS) - Many women in Pakistan remain financially excluded. In 2020, only 7% of the female population had a formal account.
