Trump double negative: Twitter sees proof positive of no electoral fraud.

In a statement, Donald Trump: “Anybody that doesn’t think there wasn’t massive election fraud in the 2020 presidential election is either very stupid, or very corrupt!”

There was no massive election fraud in the 2020 presidential election, which Trump lost to Joe Biden by 306-232 in the electoral college and by more than 7m ballots in the popular vote. But Trump thinks, or at least says, that there was massive election fraud.

Police treated us like criminals, say families of girls trafficked to Islamic State in Syria.

Details of how police attempted to criminalise British families whose children were trafficked to Islamic State (IS) in Syria are revealed in a series of testimonies that show how grieving relatives were initially treated as suspects and then abandoned by the authorities.

One described being “treated like a criminal” and later realising that police were only interested in acquiring intelligence on IS instead of trying to help find their loved one. Another told how their home had been raided after they approached police for help to track down a missing relative.

China losing ground to US in an increasingly ‘bipolar’ Asia: Lowy Institute’s Asia Power Index

Asia is becoming increasingly “bipolar” as the world’s two superpowers China and the United States continue to jostle for position in the region while the influence of other once-strong states such as Japan recedes, a new analysis has found.

The US was the only major country in the region whose overall power increased this year, according to the Lowy Institute’s Asia Power Index 2021. China’s overall power fell for the first time since the index was first issued in 2018 having shown “no clear path to undisputed primacy in the Indo-Pacific”.

Perú: la ultraderecha promueve el golpe parlamentario contra Pedro Castillo

Este martes la democracia peruana se juega una jornada clave. Ese día, la extrema derecha buscará aprobar en el Congreso un pedido para iniciar un proceso sumario contra el presidente Pedro Castillo, que asumió hace sólo cuatro meses, para destituirlo del cargo. Se alega una supuesta “incapacidad moral permanente” del maestro rural y sindicalista cuya sorpresiva victoria electoral llevó a la izquierda al gobierno y remeció a los grupos de poder y la derecha, que ahora buscan su caída.
