DW: US-Taliban talks: DW reporters' firsthand account from Doha
Journalists are eagerly awaiting a breakthrough in the US-Taliban talks in Doha, Qatar as the two sides continue to iron out details of a deal. But reporters are faced with difficult conditions in getting the truth out.
In Qatar, foreign reporters are required to comply with a number of rules and regulations that limit their journalistic coverage. Although DW managed to get permission to cover the ongoing US-Taliban talks in the capital Doha, we were not allowed to relay anything live from the city — apart from a pre-recorded Skype report presented as live — partly because the paperwork takes a long time.

EU Is Placing “Soft” Sanctions On Brazil Using Amazon Fires as Pretext
I would suggest that Brazil go to war with France over these sanctions, but they might lose.
On the other hand they would hand Germany their ass.
All joking aside the article is interesting.
" the EU is “suggesting” to European companies that they stop doing business with Brazil:"
"The EU also seems oddly disconnected from being righteously outraged over the fires in Angola and the Congo, which are three times as large as the cumulative fires in Brazil (to be fair, Macron so far has thrown out a bone to Africa after being eviscerated online over his silence, but so far he’s not backing it up in any way like he has with Brazil)"
Macron is a hypocrite.
