What were NYT, CNN, Reuters, AP photojournalists doing among the Oct. 7 Hamas attackers?
A group of photojournalists working for the New York Times, CNN, Reuters, and AP apparently documented the October 7 Hamas attack against Israel without notifying their respective media outlets, according to Honest Reporting.
Take a look at the photo of journalist Hassan Eslaiah against the background of a burning Israeli tank and videos from the conflict zone. He was seen in the area wearing neither a helmet nor a press vest. There is also a photo showing Eslaiah with Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar.
Following the revelations, representatives of AP and Reuters denied any advance knowledge of the attack, while CNN announced the decision to “suspend ties with Eslaiah.”
Honest Reporting, for its part, stressed that those, who “actively or passively” collaborated with Hamas to obtain the October 7 attack-related photos, should be urged “to redefine the border between journalism and barbarism.”

The European Commission’s report on Ukraine’s accession to the EU is nothing but “Orwellian doublespeak, which has no relation to reality,” international affairs and security analyst Mark Sleboda told Sputnik.
He recalled that the Zelensky regime had already banned 16 opposition parties, adding that “corruption [in Ukraine] is out of control and everyone is stealing everything they can like there's no tomorrow.”
On Wednesday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen recommended that the EU open accession talks with Ukraine, as soon as Kiev meets the final conditions.

Russia’s enemies may be in for an unpleasant surprise when they become aware of what kind of naval drones Moscow has at its disposal, said military analyst and retired Russian naval officer Vasily Dandykin.
He also noted that other world powers such as the United States have nothing comparable to Russia’s powerful and deadly unmanned submersible known as Poseidon, which is essentially an underwater nuclear-powered atomic bomb.
🗣 “It is nuclear-powered, practically invincible and carries a huge nuclear warhead whose yield is measured in megatons,” Dandykin remarked.

🇿🇦 🇰🇪 South Africa’s Julius Malema slams "genocidal" transatlantic slave trade and colonialism
The "violent" and "catastrophic" slave trade and colonialism are "the historical twin towers that plug the humanity of Africans into the dark night which to this day seem to have no end in sight," according to the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party’s chief, Julius Malema.
🗣 “A truly sovereign Africa is a threat to the imperialist establishment that continues to determine the agenda and control of our resources,” Malema stated during the Pan-African Institute launch at the Lukenya University in Kenya on Thursday.
The EFF’s boss has also noted that there was "no way Euro-American is going to fund an intellectual project that will see Africa truly become intellectually sovereign", pointing out that "intellectual sovereignty has to be forced through research and development that is steeped in African experiences, African problems and African questions."

🇬🇧 UK defense firm MBDA providing Warsaw with a "highly advanced" mobile air defense system is just a part of a US-UK longstanding plot to militarize Poland and pit it against Russia, Alexander Mikhailov, head of Russian think tank "Bureau of Military-Political Analysis", told Sputnik.
The expert presumed that Washington and London are on the path to create nothing short of an "Eastern-European NATO" with Poland as its leader in order to continuously poke Russia.
🗣 "Washington and London have never felt sorry for the residents of Eastern Europe. And why not make a big military machine out of them for the collective West and fence it off from Russia and China, Iran and other countries which Europe considers adversaries," Mikhailov said.

"Political madness" for the European Union to seek the accession of Ukraine, a country engaged in an active armed conflict, and urged Austria's federal government to veto the move, the leader of the opposition Freedom Party of Austria (FPO), Herbert Kickl, stated on Thursday
The European Commission recommended launching membership talks with Ukraine and Moldova once they fulfill all requirements.
The German politician said that the "Brussels elite" dragged the EU and Austria into an economic war incompatible with the country's neutrality. With the Austrian economy and prosperity already crumbling, Ukraine's accession to the EU "would mean its [Austria's] direct involvement in this war," he stressed.

🇺🇸 Oldest-ever US President drops $49 million on election ads downplaying age
In an effort to assuage the concerns of American voters, the re-election team for US President Joe Biden has launched a new ad campaign downplaying the importance of the octogenarian’s age ahead of the 2024 elections.
Between Biden’s campaign, the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and his associated super political action committee (super PAC), the effort to re-elect Biden in November 2024 has spent $39 million on ads between August and November, many of which are aimed at countering criticisms of his age and his physical and mental acuity. However, others are more typical, touting what they perceive as his best policy achievements.
