People take part in a protest against Tunisian president Kais Saied’s rule and demanding the release of political prisoners in Tunis, Tunisia, November 22, 2025
TUNISIANS took to the streets of central Tunis on Saturday over President Kais Saied’s increasingly authoritarian rule and demanded the release of all political prisoners.
The Against Injustice rally brought together families of political detainees and activists from different ideological backgrounds.
The demonstration drew more than 1,000 protesters chanting anti-regime slogans, including: “No fear no terror, the street belongs to the people.”
The protest came as part of a broader surge in protests nationwide over political and economic turmoil.
Protesters also called out President Saied’s interference in the judiciary and accused him of using the police to target political opponents.
Banners of various G20 leaders are displayed along a Johannesburg freeway, in Johannesburg, South Africa, November 20, 2025
WORLD leaders from the Group of 20 rich and developing economies broke with tradition and adopted a declaration at the start of their summit in South Africa on Saturday despite opposition from the United States.
The US is boycotting the two-day talks in a diplomatic rift with the host country and had put pressure on South Africa not to adopt a leaders’ declaration in the absence of a US delegation, South African officials said.
Vincent Magwenya, the spokesperson for South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, said that a leaders’ declaration was adopted unanimously by the other members at the start of the talks in Johannesburg.
Declarations are usually adopted at the end of G20 summits.
The 122-point declaration urged more global action on issues that specifically affect poor countries, like climate-related disasters and sovereign debt levels, and was promoted by the hosts as a victory for the first G20 summit to be held in Africa.

While President Ramaphosa’s spokesperson said the declaration was unanimous, Argentina said it did not endorse it.
Indigenous activists participate in a climate protest during the COP30 U.N. Climate Summit, November 17, 2025, in Belem, Brazil
CLIMATE activists slammed the lack of a meaningful deal as the United Nations Cop30 climate talks in Belem, Brazil, came to a close on Saturday.
The negotiators pledged more funding for countries to adapt to extreme weather. But the catch-all agreement doesn’t include explicit details to phase out fossil fuels or strengthen countries’ inadequate emissions-cutting plans, which dozens of nations demanded.
After the deal was approved, Cop30 president Andre Correa do Lago said that the tough discussions will continue under Brazil’s leadership until the next annual conference “even if they are not reflected in this text we just approved.”
UN secretary-general Antonio Guterres said the deal shows “that nations can still come together to confront the defining challenges no country can solve alone.”
He said: “I cannot pretend that Cop30 has delivered everything that is needed. The gap between where we are and what science demands remains dangerously wide.”
Amnesty International slammed the deal, accusing the leaders of placing “profit over people” and saying it lacked “accountability and transparency.”
Amnesty said that “the final document avoided any mention of fossil fuels, the primary driver of climate change, failing to build on or even to reaffirm the commitment to ‘transition away’ from fossil fuels agreed upon in Cop28.
“A record number of fossil fuel lobbyists at Cop30 showed who had the real access, leaving humanity, especially those already the most marginalised, to suffer the deadly consequences of their plans to continue fossil fuel expansion and to be the ones to pump the last barrel of oil,” said Amnesty climate justice adviser Ann Harrison.
The Elders group of former world leaders said: “Cop30 didn’t deliver the results needed. Major emitters have blocked a roadmap to phase out fossil fuels.”

Prime Minister Keir Starmer speaks to business leaders during a reception at EY headquarters ahead of the G20 summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, November 21, 2025
LEADING Scottish medics have joined more than 500 healthcare professionals from across Britain demanding the Prime Minister act to secure the release of a Palestinian doctor and his colleagues abducted by Israeli forces.
Head of Gaza’s Kamal Adwan Hospital Dr Abu Safiya was taken from its ruins in December 2024 and has since been held with peers without charge in conditions human rights lawyers have described as inhumane.
In an open letter to Sir Keir Starmer, the medics argue that the situation has become a “matter of life and death,” with the Israeli state not only facing accusations of organ harvesting from deceased detainees, but proposals currently before the Knesset which would permit the death penalty for Palestinians convicted of terrorism charges in its military courts.
Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF. He asks how could anyone object to them starving people to death, forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing Gaza’s hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel.Orcas discuss Genocide-supporting and complicit Zionists.

A household energy bill displayed on a mobile phone held next to a gas hob
MILLIONS face a shock New Year’s Day hike in energy bills — to pay for nuclear expansion projects even while wholesale prices fall.
Industry “regulator” Ofgem announced today a surprise increase in gas and electricity costs from January.
Campaigners urged Chancellor Rachel Reeves to act in her Budget to help struggling families as freezing winter temperatures bite.
The government’s cap on energy prices is to go up by 0.2 per cent in the three months to March.
End Fuel Poverty Coalition co-ordinator Simon Francis said: “Energy bills remain stubbornly high as households face a fifth winter of the energy costs crisis. Today’s announcement sees standing charges rise yet again, highlighting the structural problems in how energy is paid for.
“The addition of a new levy on bills which pays for nuclear power stations is unwelcome and could have been delayed until closer to when these plants actually start to generate electricity.”
The government this summer announced that taxpayers will effectively underwrite a private investment deal worth more than £38 billion to build Britain’s biggest nuclear project in a generation at the Sizewell C site on the Suffolk coast.
Billpayers face paying £1 a month for the costs from this winter until the project is complete under a funding mechanism that shields Sizewell’s investors from the impact of any delays — even if the total cost spirals to as much as £47bn.
dizzy: Nuclear power is too expensive, we can’t afford it. There’s also the problem that it produces waste that remains dangerously radioactive essentially for ever.
