Update on Russian military operations in and around Ukraine for November 5, 2022
– US assistance to Ukraine increasingly depends on “refurbishing” antiquated weapons kept in storage as current inventories of weapons run low;
– Russian tanks continue to roll out of factories while those in storage are also being upgraded and deployed;
– British state media admits Ukraine faces difficulties in taking Kherson city;
– Russian forces continue preparing for protracted combat while Ukraine races against the clock in terms of energy, economics, and material support for combat operations References:

The World Health Organisation (WHO) is now taking control of the content that is promoted on YouTube through its new partnership with Google.
They claim that the aim of the partnership is to address “the spread of misinformation and disinformation.” The real aim is to manipulate public opinion
On its website WHO states: “WHO and partners recognise that misinformation online has the potential to travel further, faster and sometimes deeper than the truth – on some social media platforms, falsehoods are 70% more likely to get shared than accurate news. To counter this, WHO has taken a number of actions with tech companies to remain one step ahead”
The Expose reports: As has been proved throughout the Covid era, the propaganda machine of governments, public health bodies and international organisations such as WHO are inverting the truth.
It is they that are spreading misinformation and disinformation while at the same time censoring the truth.
Thus, it is not misinformation and falsehoods that WHO is attempting to counteract.
Rather, WHO and its partners are attempting to suppress the truth while promoting a false narrative.
A more truthful statement would read:
“WHO and partners recognise that facts and truthfulness online have the potential to travel further, faster and sometimes deeper than the official narrative – on some social media platforms, truth is 70% more likely to get shared than our narrative. To counter this, WHO has taken a number of actions with tech companies to remain one step ahead.”
Bear this inversion of the truth in mind when reading any of WHO or its partners’ documents or articles
Users will have to commit to WHO-approved practices to be labelled as “reliable” in algorithm
In an attempt to impose official “health misinformation,” YouTube announced it will make medical professionals apply for a license and will falsely certify whether they are “reliable” and “authoritative” sources of information.
of YouTube Health Dr. Garth Graham said: “YouTube Health has been working on additional ways to help doctors, nurses, mental health professionals and healthcare information providers to bring high-quality health information into the spaces that people visit throughout their day – like their favourite video-sharing app.”
To apply to be labelled as “reliable,” users have to submit their license and adhere to the “best practices” for sharing health information set by the World Health Organisation (“WHO”), the Council of Medical Specialty Societies (“CMSS”), and the National Academy of Medicine (“NAM”).
“In the coming months, eligible channels that have applied through this process will be given a health source information panel that identifies them as a licensed healthcare professional and their videos will appear in relevant search results in health content shelves,” the blog post says.
YouTube has been censoring medical information that contradicts the narrative of local health authorities and the WHO – even when the information provided by the WHO turned out to be false.
Members of the Cuninico community blocked the passage of a tourist boat to draw government attention to a toxic oil spill.

An indigenous group in Peru’s Amazon rainforest has freed about 100 riverboat passengers – including foreigners – who were held for a day in protest over what the community alleged to be government inaction over toxic oil spills.
The Cuninico indigenous group, from the Urarinas district in Loreto province in Peru’s Amazon rainforest, had held the passengers – which included citizens of France, Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States and Peru – to raise awareness about the oil spillage in a local river, according to local media.
“We were just all freed, we have boarded a boat and are on our way to (the city of) Iquitos,” one of the freed tourists, Peruvian Angela Ramirez, told Reuters news agency on Friday.
Peru’s independent public defender agency said on Twitter that “after dialogue with the (head) of the Cuninico communities, our request to release people was accepted”.
Local media outlet RPP said none of the tourists was harmed during the protest.
Minister of Energy and Mines confirms that tourists kidnapped by indigenous people in Peru have been released

The UK’s foreign ministry said in a statement it was in contact with local authorities regarding a “very small number of British nationals involved in an incident in Peru”.
HUMEDALES DEL PARANA: ¡NO SALTAR DE LA SARTEN AL FUEGO!

Desde hace más de tres décadas los poderes financieros y económicos extranjeros impusieron a nuestra nación un Modelo Capitalista Neocolonial, basado en un feroz extractivismo minero, petrolero, forestal, marítimo, agropecuario y agro-portuario trasnacional.
El ecocidio, los daños humanos y sociales están a la vista… ¡y sus responsable directos son los GOBERNADORES y los INTENDENTES que actuaron como unidad ejecutora de este letal Modelo Capitalista Neocolonial!
En este marco emerge la consigna ¡Ley de Humedales YA!, que moviliza especialmente a los jóvenes que confían en el rol disruptivo QUE LA LEY NO TIENE.
En efecto: El Proyecto Consensuado de Ley de Humedales del diputado Grosso (FDT- Mov. Evita) -respaldado críticamente hasta ahora por el Frente de Izquierda Unidad (FIT-U)- tiene aspectos valiosos porque concentra definiciones, debates, saberes…
La firma del acuerdo permitió desconvocar una huelga indefinida que estaba prevista para el 25 de octubre. El consejero de Sanidad de la comunidad, Enrique Ruiz Escudero, niega las renuncias «en bloque» y habla de «reajustes». El «caos» en la reapertura de las urgencias de atención primaria en Madrid ha provocado una cascada de dimisiones y, finalmente, […]
Sitting on the edge of a collection of about 60 tents pitched alongside the American River, Twana James is doing her best to comfort a friend at the end of her wits.

All day, the woman says, she had been waiting for a caseworker from a Sacramento non-profit to come pick her up and put her on a list for housing. “You wait all day for somebody to come and get you and they don’t come,” she cries in despair.
James offers her a ride to a shelter that provides food, showers and counseling. She makes a cheeky comment about her friend’s hair, eliciting a laugh.
It’s the sort of thing James, 53, does often. She’s a longtime resident of this encampment in California’s capital, and a caretaker for many of the elderly people who call it their home.
On the midterm ballot is Measure O, which would direct the city manager to establish a minimum number of shelter spaces
Dubbed the Island, the tents stretch out on a picturesque plot of land along the American River. The camp is a quick walk from a busy road, but feels like a world away from the nearby office buildings and Mexican chain restaurant. The secluded community has been there for decades, forming a tight group over the years. But it has expanded in recent years, as homelessness in the city and county has climbed to record levels.
During the pandemic, the unhoused population has soared all over California, but the increase in Sacramento has been particularly stunning.
The region has seen an almost 70% rise in homelessness since 2019, now counting more unhoused people than San Francisco. At least 9,278 people are estimated to be without a home, the majority of whomsleep outdoors or in vehicles. Encampments can be seen on levees, near schools and next to busy roads.
The primary force behind the dramatic rise, according to the 2022 point-in-time count, is the high cost of housing. The median home pricein the county has surpassed $500,000 and the median monthly rent is $2,774, up more than 5% from last year. Some studios downtown rent for $2,000 a month, said Crystal Sanchez, the president of the Sacramento Homeless Union, while thousands of people sleep outside.
