Hebe de Bonafini, searcher for Argentina's missing children, has passed away at the age of 93.

Hebe de Bonafini was co-founder and president of the Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo group. Their mission is to help bring home the children who disappeared during Argentina’s Dirty War.

From 1976 to 1983, Argentina was ruled by a junta. People who disagreed with the military dictatorship were kidnapped, tortured and executed, and their kids were given away to loyal friends and colleagues.

In April 1977, mothers and grandmothers of the missing gathered for the first time at Plaza de Mayo, the central square of Buenos Aires.

'All the ministers, all of them, were in on our children’s murders. How can I make peace with a murderer? I neither forgive nor forget!', de Bonafini, whose two sons were also kidnapped by the military members, once declared.

Nine years ago, on November 21, 2013, protests began on the Maidan in Ukraine. Just over a thousand civic activists protested the suspension of Ukraine's signing of an Association Agreement with the European Union.

At first, the protests were peaceful. But soon, nationalist slogans began to be heard. Radical groups threw smoke bombs and Molotov cocktails at the police. The first dead and wounded appeared.

In total, at least 80 people were killed in riots during the winter of 2013-2014, according to the Ukrainian Interior Ministry. Another 800 were wounded and injured.

Who taught the nationalists how to behave? Find the answers in an excerpt from Fast Forward to Fascism (2022).

Zaporozhye NPP is one step away from nuclear disaster.

Artillery fire carried out by the Ukrainian military has damaged the condensate storage tanks of the Zaporozhye nuclear plant and moisture leaked out. IAEA experts say the leak is not radioactive. The spent and fresh fuel and waste are not damaged and remain in the storage tanks.

The International Atomic Energy Agency demands that the shelling stop: ‘Whoever is behind this must stop immediately. You are playing with fire.’ They nuclear watchdog has also requested that Russia leave the NPP, but the Russian State Duma responded that that is impossible as the nuclear power plant is on the territory of Russia and is already a part of its energy system.

In the excerpt from Nuclear Blackmail (2022), experts are afraid to even imagine what would happen in the event of an accident. The whole planet will suffer - and Ukraine most of all.

🏳️‍🌈US reporter denied entry to World Cup stadium over a shirt with pride flag.

A Qatari security guard refused to let the man gain entry to the venue due to his T-shirt that promoted LGBTQ rights. All of the restrictions had been put in place by Qatar beforehand.

‘If he (a fan) raised the rainbow flag and I took it from him, it's to protect him. If it’s not me, somebody else around him might attack (him) ... I cannot guarantee the behavior of the whole people,’ warned Major General Abdulaziz Abdullah Al Ansari in April.

But even this sort of logic failed to prevent the American from challenging the Arab country's explicit laws nor disrespecting its values.

The case is being widely discussed on social networks where net users seem divided. However, a local commented: ‘As a Qatari I’m proud of what happened. I don’t know when the Westerners will realize that their values aren’t universal. There are other cultures with different values that should be equally respected.’

🥇American biological male placed first on the girls' sports team enrages female athletes’ parents.

Aspen Hoffman, Seattle Academy High School student, was born male. While competing on the boy’s team, he finished just 72nd. So, he decided to have a try in the girl’s division.

Since Aspen came out as female transgender, he broke the academy’s record in the girl’s 5,000-meter category and ranks first in the league. But a school coach believes Hoffman’s participation is unfair and claims: ‘If [Aspen] competed in the boys’ division, he would place 56th on the boys’ team.’ Female athletes’ parents are also angry and say that now their daughters must compete against a male, who is larger than they, for scholarships.

Transgender’s participation in women’s sport is an acute question in the United States. Opinions are divided. What arguments do both sides bring? Find out in Trans-Sport.
