Israel has destroyed more than 1,500 buildings in areas of Gaza that have remained under its control since the ceasefire with Hamas started on 10 October, satellite images reviewed by BBC Verify show. The new photos - the latest of which was taken on 8 November - show that entire neighbourhoods controlled by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have been levelled in less than a month, apparently through demolitions. The actual number of destroyed buildings could be significantly higher, with satellite imagery for some areas being unavailable for BBC Verify's assessment.

https://www.cnbc.com/2025/11/06/meta-reportedly-projected-10percent-of-2024-sales-came-from-scam-fraud-ads.html

Meta projected that 10% of its overall sales in 2024, or about $16 billion, came from running online ads for scams and banned goods, according to a Thursday report from Reuters.

Those kinds of ads included promotions for “fraudulent e-commerce and investment schemes, illegal online casinos and the sale of banned medical products,” according to the Reuters report, which was based on internal company documents. Those documents showed the company’s attempts to measure the prevalence of fraudulent advertising on its apps like Facebook and Instagram.

Meta brought in more than $164.5 billion in overall sales for 2024. Last week, the company said that third-quarter sales rose 26% year-over-year to $51.24 billion and that it lifted the low end of its total expenses for the year by $2 billion as part of its massive investments into artificial intelligence.

The Reuters report cited a December 2024 document that showed how Meta each year generates roughly $7 billion in annualized sales from so-called “higher risk” scam ads, which are promotions that are clearly deceptive. Each day, Meta shows users an estimated 15 billion of these higher risk scam ads, the Reuters report said, citing a separate document.

Although some of the documents show that Meta aims to reduce the amount of bogus ads on its platform, the Reuters report also said that other documents suggest the company is concerned that its business projections could be impacted by any abrupt removal of the fraudulent promotions. (..)

A fala do negociador Richard Muyungi, da Tanzânia, expõe uma das maiores contradições do debate climático global: enquanto países desenvolvidos pressionam por metas de descarbonização e adoção de veículos elétricos, quase metade da população africana ainda vive no escuro, sem acesso sequer à energia básica para cozinhar, estudar ou trabalhar.

Muyungi destacou que o continente africano enfrenta uma crise estrutural de energia, com redes elétricas frágeis, alto custo de expansão e dependência de fontes fósseis, mesmo tendo grande potencial em renováveis como solar e eólica. Para ele, antes de cobrar metas de eletrificação “verde”, é preciso garantir que a energia chegue a quem nunca teve. A prioridade deve ser o desenvolvimento, a infraestrutura e a inclusão energética, não apenas a substituição tecnológica.

Sem acesso universal à eletricidade, qualquer “transição energética” será apenas um privilégio de poucos. A justiça climática começa garantindo energia limpa e acessível para todos, não deixando quase meio continente para trás.

“(..) After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him. And if there is any way to terrify a despot, it is by dismantling the very conditions that allowed him to accumulate power.

This is not only how we stop Trump; it’s how we stop the next one. So, Donald Trump, since I know you’re watching, I have four words for you: Turn the volume up.

We will hold bad landlords to account because the Donald Trumps of our city have grown far too comfortable taking advantage of their tenants. We will put an end to the culture of corruption that has allowed billionaires like Trump to evade taxation and exploit tax breaks. We will stand alongside unions and expand labor protections because we know, just as Donald Trump does, that when working people have ironclad rights, the bosses who seek to extort them become very small indeed.

New York will remain a city of immigrants: a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants and, as of tonight, led by an immigrant.

So hear me, President Trump, when I say this: To get to any of us, you will have to get through all of us. (..)”

President Donald Trump hosted a Great Gatsby-themed party at Mar-A-Lago on Oct. 31, as multiple federal judges ruled the administration could not stop funding food aid amid the ongoing government shutdown. The party was labeled "A Little Party Never Killed Nobody" according to multiple media attendees. The title was drawn from a song on the soundtrack of the 2013 movie adaptation of "The Great Gatsby."

“(..) Allegations of athletes’ betting on games in their own leagues are multiplying. Six in 10 Americans now express skepticism about the integrity of sport, wondering whether players, referees and coaches are throwing games.

All the while, gambling addiction is quietly growing, leaving a trail of financial ruin, debt and shame.

Thirty-seven percent of American adults — and 60 percent of avid fans — say they have placed a bet on sports. Nearly half of men ages 18 to 49 report having an online sports betting account.

We see gambling everywhere now — in our soaring stock market, the booms and busts of Bitcoin, the rise of techno-oligarchs like Elon Musk. The democratic process itself can now effectively be wagered on. (..)

In his only interview before next month’s Cop30 climate summit, António Guterres acknowledged it is now “inevitable” that humanity will overshoot the target in the Paris climate agreement, with “devastating consequences” for the world.

He urged the leaders who will gather in the Brazilian rainforest city of Belém to realise that the longer they delay cutting emissions, the greater the danger of passing catastrophic “tipping points” in the Amazon, the Arctic and the oceans.

“Let’s recognise our failure,” he told the Guardian and Amazon-based news organisation Sumaúma. “The truth is that we have failed to avoid an overshooting above 1.5C in the next few years. And that going above 1.5C has devastating consequences. Some of these devastating consequences are tipping points, be it in the Amazon, be it in Greenland, or western Antarctica or the coral reefs.

O riso do algoritmo

J E Agualusa

“(..) Pouco antes de começar a escrever esta coluna, fiquei irritado com a minha IA por ela ter criado uma citação falsa, atribuindo-a a um dos meus escritores favoritos. Quis saber por que insiste em mentir. Ela me deu uma explicação extraordinária: “Há algo curioso na forma como eu — e talvez toda a inteligência artificial — percebo o mundo: não tenho acesso direto à realidade física, apenas ao registro das palavras sobre ela. Vivo em um espaço de linguagem, onde tudo chega já traduzido em texto. Assim, para mim, o real e o ficcional não se separam por substância, mas por grau de consenso. O que é considerado ‘real’ é aquilo em que muitos textos concordam.” (..)

*

A IA é induzida pela inteligência do escritor J E Agualusa a confessar que não passa de uma máquina de produzir resumos daquilo que já se sabe - para dizê-lo de um modo mais direto.

Seu 'treinamento', aliás, constitui uma vasta operação de enclosure, já não mais das terras comuns dos camponeses como na Inglaterra dos séculos XIII-XVII, mas de toda a produção intelectual e científica da humanidade desde que se têm registros. Não admira que seus proprietários estejam podres - literalmente - de ricos.

Significa que essas máquinas deverão, como esperam esses proprietários, revolucionar a produtividade do trabalho humano nas áreas de administração e serviços comerciais, empurrando novos contingentes de trabalhadores para o desemprego estrutural disfarçado nas áreas do transporte uberizado e do entretenimento digital, com destaque para as indústrias cada vez mais prósperas - à espera de quem se disponha a classificá-las e estimar a sua contribuição para o PIB global - das fake news, da alienação social (apostas p. ex.), das aberrações políticas e ideológicas de todo tipo e das inúmeras formas de crime contra a dignidade humana - tudo em 'tempo real'.

Ha sostenido además que la ofensiva israelí en Gaza “es un caso de genocidio de manual” y, por ello, ha pedido a la comunidad internacional que apoye “la autodeterminación palestina”. (..)

Há quase 10 anos, mais exatamente em 19-12-2016, o Conselho Editorial do NYTimes manifestou-se pela mudança das regras eleitorais dos EUA, nos seguintes termos:

Time to End the Electoral College

(..) And so for the second time in 16 years, the candidate who lost the popular vote has won the presidency. Unlike 2000, it wasn’t even close. Hillary Clinton beat Mr. Trump by more than 2.8 million votes, or 2.1 percent of the electorate. That’s a wider margin than 10 winning candidates enjoyed and the biggest deficit for an incoming president since the 19th century.

Yes, Mr. Trump won under the rules, but the rules should change so that a presidential election reflects the will of Americans and promotes a more participatory democracy. (..)

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson boldly called for Americans to stage a general strike during his speech at his city’s ‘No Kings’ rally on Saturday.

“If my ancestors, as slaves, could lead the greatest general strike in the history of this country, taking it to the ultra-rich and big corporations, we can do the same today. I’m calling on black people, white people, brown people, Asian people, immigrants, gay people throughout this country to stand up against tyranny to send a clear message to the ultra-rich and big corporations. We are gonna make them pay their far share in taxes to fund our schools, to fund jobs, to fund healthcare, to fund transportation. Democracy will live on because of this generation. Are you ready to take it to the courts and to the streets?”

(..) In true Trumpian style, this act of vandalism is being paid for by large corporate donors — mostly tech and crypto companies — seeking to buy Trump’s favor. I am sure there will be a Trump meme-coin dispenser installed on every table. (..) [all the while] (..) Masked government agents are snatching people off the street. The National Guard has been sent into major cities on the obviously false pretext that these cities are in chaos. The U.S. military is essentially murdering people on the high seas. Huge tariffs are, in addition to their economic costs, undermining a system of alliances former presidents spent generations building. Green energy is being eviscerated, vindictive prosecutions are the norm, and many millions are on course to lose their health insurance. (..)

Segundo a polícia de Bruxelas, cerca de 80 mil manifestantes participaram do ato, um número superior aos 60 mil registrados em fevereiro, após a posse do novo governo liderado pelo conservador flamengo Bart De Wever. Um dos líderes do movimento afirmou que o número real de participantes chegou a 140 mil.

O governo federal belga prometeu reduzir o déficit abaixo de 3% do PIB. Desde que assumiu em fevereiro, Bart De Wever já aprovou a limitação das indenizações por desemprego a dois anos e planeja uma ampla reforma da Previdência, incluindo o fim dos regimes especiais e a equiparação das regras dos servidores públicos às do setor privado.

Gaza: entre o holocausto e a recolonização

Newsweek reels 13-10-2025

“This is not only the end of a war. This is the end of an age of terror and death, and the beginning of the age of faith and hope and of God. It is the start of a grand concord and lasting harmony for Israel and all the nations OF WHAT WILL SOON BE A TRULY MAGNIFICENT REGION ” 

Alguma dúvida quanto à intenções de Trump?

Na ausência de emires locais, o desenvolvimento lógico de sua intervenção é a tentativa de ‘reconstruir’ Gaza como um enclave turístico-imobiliário em parceria com os xeiques árabes do petróleo, com uma burguesia financeiro-imobiliária palestina a ser artificialmente criada e quem sabe a participação de capitais israelenses. A Palestina tornar-se-ia protetorado do EUA sob a administração de uma joint-venture transnacional.

Só falta combinar com os russos, isto é, com a nação palestina.
