Alors que la journaliste Ariane Lavrilleux est en garde à vue et que son domicile a été perquisitionné, le gouvernement reste silencieux. Interrogé par Mediapart, son porte-parole, Olivier Véran, a préféré éluder la question. 👉 mdpt.fr/46gKg1g

This image from today's IPCC synthesis report is brutal. The existing policy trajectory represents a profound failure of our governments, and of our international political system. We need much more aggressive mitigation and much stronger international cooperation.

Like millions around the globe, Russians have come to depend on Telegram for uncensored news about the war in Ukraine. But can they trust it with their data? My latest for @WIRED Thanks @SmyslovVadim for research, additional reporting and keeping me sane wired.com/story/the-kremlin-…

The Kremlin Has Entered Your Telegram Chat
