‼️Macron anuncia el regreso de la mili voluntaria en Francia

Durará diez meses y estará remunerada con 800 € al mes para los jóvenes que quieran participar

En caso de una crisis mayor, el Parlamento francés podrá autorizar a determinados jóvenes a realizarla

Don't worry, we will not travel to the US.
The Trump administration will raise prices and add new fees next year for international tourists visiting U.S. national parks, the latest change amid steep cuts and bureaucratic turmoil at the National Park Service and a decline in foreign tourism.
Here's what to know.
Trump Administration Will Raise Prices for Foreign Tourists at National Parks
The price increases comes as more and more international travelers are choosing to stay away from the United States and amid turmoil at the National Park Service.

"People shot in US" is about as "dog bites man" as a news item gets.
It is one of the biggest days in the UK political calendar so BBC News channel is giving extensive live coverage to... a shooting of two people in the US. A story worth noting, certainly, but the dominant story on budget day?

El plan de Trump para Gaza, avalado por el Consejo de Seguridad de la ONU, no supone un avance hacia la paz sino el establecimiento de un protectorado colonial en territorio palestino.

A 78 años de la partición de Palestina, seguimos exigiendo la ruptura total de relaciones con el estado de Israel.

National Guard soldiers didn't sign up to be deployed as local police indefinitely as part of someone else's political stunt.

They're not set up to be local police, they never should have been deployed.

Politicians who make political decisions to deploy the military into situations that get service members killed for no good reason. They need to be held accountable.
