The citizens of Madrid rebel massively against the privatized policies of the regional government and corrupt destruction of the Health system by far right profiteers. The public response has been massive.
Attendance at the demonstration by Public Health this Sunday, November 13, has exceeded the forecasts of the calling groups and has overflowed the streets of Madrid, the result of a health rebellion against the privatization measures of the government of Isabel Díaz Ayuso.
The Government Delegation has encrypted attendance at more than 200,000 people, while the organization raises the figure to 670,000 people.
At the same time, concern among citizens escalated to overwhelm the initial forecasts for this Sunday’s demonstration.
“Up to 280,000 tonnes of Russian mineral fertilizers have been under arrest in a number of European countries over recent months,” Russian Minister Sergey Vershinin said adding that Russia supported gratuitous exports of these arrested fertilizers to countries in need, especially in Africa.
The deputy minister added that Moscow was not satisfied with the implementation of the Black Sea grain deal, as Russian food products and fertilizers should have a “real access” to international markets.
Russia, Ukraine and Turkey signed on July 22 the United Nations-brokered agreement to secure a humanitarian corridor via the Black Sea for grain and fertilizer exports. The parties agreed for the agreement to last 120 days and expire on November 19.
On October 29, Russia suspended its participation in the agreement after its military and civilian ships were attacked by Ukraine in the bay of Sevastopol.
The countries importing fertilizers have no replacement for supplies from Russia…
On November 2, the Russian Defense Ministry said that Moscow was returning to the agreement after receiving written guarantees from Ukraine that Kiev will refrain from using the humanitarian corridor for military purposes.
Kiev has denied providing any additional guarantees.
Russia offers grain for free to poor countries
Russia has also repeatedly offered to donate free tens of millioms of tons of grains to suffering countries after a record harvest.

The US has so far refused to grant a sanctions waiver for Russia so companies can provide transport to give away the food wihout being sanctioned. Presumably to do so might depress prices and decrease sky high profits on grain arriving from the Ukraine agreement.
UPDATE
First batch of blocked Russian fertilizers finally allowed to leave EU port after appeal to UN

Europe awakens from a nightmare to the ground truth «The people have been lied to. It was a gigantic lie. And on this lie, everything that governments, especially in the Western democracies did to infringe on people’s rights, to take away their freedom, to lock them in their homes, impose curfews, all of this was […]
The decision of the Russian military to voluntarily evacuate and abandon the city of Kherson is a military defeat on the Ukrainian front lines. At the same time, it seems to be an intelligent measure, necessary to avoid a bloody battle with 30,000 Russian troops trapped in an isolated city with 200,000 civilians, and to wind down the war escalation..
Russia made the hard choice, Kherson city is on the majority Ukrainian right bank, (left side on maps) most of the 115,000 voluntarily evacuated citizens are ethnic Russians, who faced a bloody siege from the fascist dominated Ukrainian troops and reprisals for voting to join Russia .
Putin’s clever Gambit Winds down the War.
In a surprise move Russia just pulled out. Evacuating their entire army, and the last civilians who wished to come, across the river under heavy fire in a single night…

A shocking surrender? Yet it was in line with their pragmatic policy of avoiding mass deaths.
All units of the Russian troops in the Kherson region crossed at night to the left bank of the Dnieper River despite Ukraine’s attempts to disrupt the withdrawal, the Russian Defense Ministry reported.
Every media outlet in Ukraine and the West began gloating and mocking over a “Massive Russian Defeat”.
Russia maintains control of most of the large Kherson oblast which is on the left bank eastern side of the Dnieper river.
Ukraine couldn’t believe it, declaring Russia must be setting a trap. The USA declared Russia was lying.
Russia announced, amazingly, that they had evacuated voluntarily over 115,000 people, and now all their 30,ooo troops, under intense attacks from Ukrainian and US precision artillery, with zero casualties in the final phase.
Some advantages f0r Russia could be:
No need to defend an indefensible city against an enemy equipped with fast improving US and EU supplied weaponry and logistics.
Saving over 100,000 ethnic Russians from a Stalingrad type siege.
No more danger of a massive tsunami from Ukrainian shelling of the Kakhovskaya Dam.
Gaining a solid defensive shield in the River Dnieper
Freeing large intact and skilled military resources to finally take back all Donbass

Some disadvantages could be:
Loss of face, prestige and macho credibility.
Loss of the gateway to the huge ethnic Russian area of Odessa.
Encouraging Ukrainian hopes of winning the war.
On November 11, the Russian Ministry of Defence declared that the withdrawal was completed at 5 a.m. Moscow time.

At least 275 women in Turkey were killed by men between January and October 2022 despite the government’s claim that the number of femicides in the country is trending downward, the Birgün daily reported, citing data from the We Will Stop Femicide Platform (KCDP).
According to the data, 19 of the women who were killed had obtained a restraining order against their murderers. Thirty-four of the women were killed in October alone.
Based on the data from the KCDP, while at least one femicide occurred every day of the year, there was an 88 percent increase in the number of femicide cases in October of this year compared to the same month of 2021.
The most common “motivation” for the murder of women was their refusal to marry or have a relationship with their killers.
Eighteen of the women were killed by their husbands. Additionally, 20 were killed at home and seven were murdered on the street.
Twenty-six of the femicides were recorded as “death under suspicious circumstances.” The platform said, “Instead of explaining how many women were killed, why, how and by whom, the Ministry of Interior is distorting the facts by saying that the femicide data was prepared incorrectly.”
The woman rights platform said women are not protected by the government, adding: “Women apply to the government for protection, but the authorities do not fulfill their responsibilities. Seven percent, or 19, of the women killed in 2022 were murdered despite having a restraining order against their killers.”
Femicides and violence against women are serious problems in Turkey, where women are killed, raped or beaten every day. Many critics say the main reason behind the situation is the policies of the Justice and Development Party (AKP) government, which protects violent and abusive men by granting them impunity.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan sparked outrage in Turkey and the international community after he issued a decree in March 2021 that pulled the country out of an international treaty that requires governments to adopt legislation prosecuting perpetrators of domestic violence and similar abuse as well as marital rape and female genital mutilation.
The Council of Europe Convention on Preventing and Combating Violence against Women and Domestic Violence, better known as the Istanbul Convention, is an international accord designed to protect women’s rights and prevent domestic violence in societies and was opened to signature of member countries of the Council of Europe in 2011.
