Da ich letzte Woche bereits beim Homeofffice von NuoViso über all die Themen gesprochen habe, die wir normalerweise bei Tacheles sprechen, haben wir Tacheles letzte Woche ausnahmsweise ausfallen lassen. Aber heute gibt es wieder eine aktuelle Folge von „Tacheles mit Röper und Stein“. Nächste Woche fällt Tacheles übrigens wieder aus, weil NuoViso sein jährliches Sommerfest […]
Europe is warming more than twice as fast as the global average—a terrifying statistic made all too apparent this summer as heat wave followed heat wave. European cities were never designed for these temperatures, and public health, infrastructure, and tourism are all under strain. Eric Klinenberg arrives in Milan just as “Europe’s third heat wave of the summer entered its fiercest stretch” and sweats his way across the continent to see how trees, shade, water, and other measures are being deployed to adapt urban centers. But with this crisis set to deepen can these experiments really keep pace?
Of all the problems that heat poses for Barcelona, losing some of the hundred and sixty thousand tourists who typically visit each day ranks low on the priority lists of most officials and residents. Some locals have staged protests, chanting “Tourists go home” while targeting visitors with water guns. But tourism employs more than a hundred and sixty thousand people in Barcelona and accounts for around thirteen per cent of its economic output, which explains why, despite concerns that the city gets too many visitors, more than seventy per cent of residents consider tourism beneficial. At midday, when I arrived on La Rambla, the city’s most heavily visited and photographed corridor, the street had little shade and surprisingly few people. At La Boqueria market, normally jam-packed at lunchtime, I found my way to a famously busy bar counter and took one of several open seats.

On Tuesday morning, a coalition of leaders and members from labor, community, and faith organizations in Minnesota denounced Operation Puppet Master, an alleged campaign by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to spy on Minnesotans during Operation Metro Surge earlier this year. In a press conference held outside of Target’s headquarters in downtown Minneapolis, the coalition urged Minnesotans to continue standing in solidarity with one another, and demanded companies headquartered in the state sign the business for democracy pledge.
The call comes after the New York Times published a report on August 13 about the campaign by DHS. Details were made public in a motion for discovery filed by Kevin Riach, an attorney for healthcare worker Isaac Sant. According to the motion, federal agents “surreptitiously recorded dozens of conversations with ordinary people who were simply exercising their First Amendment right to protest ICE’s lawless rampage in our state. The agents gathered information about Minnesotans from law enforcement databases and internet searches, and created dossiers that are apparently now available agency-wide.”
The documents describe surveillance and infiltration of union and community meetings during and before Operation Metro Surge. Eighteen organizations, including labor unions, were listed in a chart connecting them to Direct Action Minnesota (DAMN), a group of individuals who resisted what coalition members call a “terror campaign” by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during Operation Metro Surge. Sant is one of 15 individuals who were indicted and charged by the federal government for conspiracy in what organizers have called an act of political repression and retaliation. More than half of the 15 are rank-and-file union members, and now the federal government is claiming labor organizations to be part of the alleged conspiracy. The motion continues: “With no evidence, the government alleged to the grand jury that this conspiracy in this case extends far beyond the defendants to include the AFL-CIO, the Minneapolis Federation of Educators, the Minnesota Association of Professional Employees, Monarca, Veterans for Peace, and the Grease Pit bicycle repair shop, among others.”
In addition to the AFL-CIO, Minneapolis Federation of Educators (MFE) Local 59, and Minnesota Association of Professional Employees (MAPE), SEIU Local 26 is also named by DHS along with the Workers Solidarity Circle and Black Cat Workers Collective. The motion also states that Homeland Security Investigations subpoenaed financial records for several labor unions, including SEIU locals in Minnesota and the Communication Workers of America (CWA).
Alec Stewart is a MAPE union member and one of the Minnesota 15. “The revelation of Operation Puppet Master exposes that while the government was targeting immigrant communities, tearing families apart, abducting children and murdering folks in the street, they were also attempting to disrupt and dismantle one of the facets of Minnesota that makes us so unique, and that is our strong and unified labor movement,” he said at the press conference.
Treasure Thoreson is a teacher, executive board member at MFE Local 59, and one of the Minnesota 15. Thoreson spoke at the press conference about the food drives, fundraisers, grocery deliveries, and support that educators gave to their community all while continuing to show up to schools to educate students. “The government feels so threatened by our ability to come together and use our protected First Amendment rights, our legal rights as unionists that they feel they must surveil and disrupt. However, that to me is a signal that what we are doing is effective, impactful, and powerful,” she said. According to Thoreson, a GoFundMe that she donated to was flagged by DHS as evidence that she is part of a conspiracy.
Gabriel Van de Water is a community organizer and artist who is one of the Minnesota 15. Van de Water referred to a report by Human Rights Watch detailing the human rights abuses that happened under Operation Metro Surge. “Human Rights Watch referred to the occupation as a manufactured crisis. This administration has chosen to follow up that crisis with a manufactured conspiracy,” said Van de Water. “The Minnesota 15 case and others like it must be understood as an attempt to criminalize dissent, to make an example out of some of us so that all of us hesitate to exercise our rights to protect one another. We will not allow this to happen.”
Kieran Knutson is president of CWA Local 7250, which was also named in the document. “We are more determined than ever to stand up to our repressive government. We are more determined than ever to stand in solidarity with working class people,” he said. “The Minnesota 15 are some of the finest people I know. These are our people, we have their backs. We know that this prosecution against them is a bogus attack on the entire movement.”
Emilia Gonzalez Avalos, the executive director of Unidos MN, a grassroots social justice organization, spoke about the surveillance and infiltration enacted by the federal government on community members and noted the silence of corporations like Target. “They sat in our libraries, in training rooms, and wrote down what we thought about the Constitution. They took down license plates outside a church in Roseville, and built files of the families inside, their addresses, children, and where they work. Federal agents walked into a Target store in Richfield and detained two citizens who were at work,” said Gonzalez Avalos. “To this day, Target has said nothing about it. We came here today because that silence still has answers available.”
Target has been the center of national boycott campaigns for rolling back its diversity, equity, and inclusion commitments, and now this Minnesota coalition is demanding that the corporation meet with coalition members before early voting begins on September 15. Best Buy, 3M, and Cargill were also named by the coalition as corporations that are being urged to sign the pledge.
There is also a labor-endorsed call to boycott Target during the back-to-school season. President of MFE Local 59 Marcia Howard highlighted this call by the American Federation of Teachers that was supported by the national AFL-CIO, which passed a resolution supporting the boycott at its constitutional convention held in Minneapolis in June.
“Educators spend eight billion dollars on back to school supplies,” said Howard. “Between AFT calling for a boycott and AFL-CIO extending that boycott, the only thing that this corporation needs to do is make good. Make good for Alex Pretti, for Renee Good. For all of us who have been in the streets, for our students, for each other.”
Target made $5.1 billion in profits in 2025, and its chair and former CEO Brian Cornell pulled in over $21 million.

Bernie Burnham, the president of the Minnesota AFL-CIO, which represents 1000 local unions and hundreds of thousands of workers in the state, said at the press conference that “attacks on labor are not new. Those with power always push back when they face the kind of solidarity we saw in Minnesota last winter.” Burnham continued, “Instead of holding federal agents accountable for shooting and killing Renee Good and our [American Federation of Government Employees] union brother Alex Pretti, or addressing the dangerous and deadly conditions within immigration and detention facilities, the Trump administration continues to weaponize our federal government to intimidate our unions, our communities, and anyone who peacefully opposes their radically authoritarian agenda.”
Coalition members say they remain unintimidated. “Countless Minnesotans rose to the occasion and stood strong in the face of what the Trump administration tried to do to our communities and the whole nation owes those Minnesotans a debt of gratitude,” said Phillip Cryan, the executive vice president of SEIU Healthcare Minnesota & Iowa. “We keep us safe. If they come after any of us, 15 of us, or 1500 of us, the hundreds of thousands of us who did what we needed to do this winter to protect our communities, will be there to support them.”

Dois militares morreram esta sexta-feira, 21 de agosto, após terem sido atropelados junto à área de serviço da Mealhada, segundo o Correio da Manhã.
Os dois militares do Exército foram transportados, em estado crítico, para os Hospitais da Universidade de Coimbra, onde os óbitos vieram a ser declarados.
Os militares prestavam assistência a um camionista após um acidente que terá sido provocado pelo rebentamento de um pneu, altura em que foram colhidos por outra viatura.
Tratam-se de dois praças, de 21 e 22 anos, que faziam a viagem de regresso à sua unidade após terem estado empenhados, durante a semana, na montagem de uma ponte militar em São Pedro do Sul.
O acidente ocorreu ao quilómetro 204 da A1, no sentido Norte-Sul, junto à área de serviço da Mealhada.
O trânsito chegou a estar cortado no local, mas já foi entretanto reposto.
A Algar e a Plataforma Vidro+ uniram esforços para dinamizar uma campanha de comunicação dirigida aos estabelecimentos do canal HORECA (Hotelaria, Restauração e Cafetaria), em vários concelhos do Algarve, até ao final do mês de agosto, com o objetivo de aumentar a reciclagem de embalagens de vidro, promover a correta separação dos resíduos recicláveis e incentivar a adoção de boas práticas ambientais.
A iniciativa pretende sensibilizar o setor para as soluções disponibilizadas pela Algar adaptadas às necessidades específicas dos estabelecimentos da região, nomeadamente o serviço de recolha seletiva porta-a-porta Comércio a Reciclar, com umacompanhamento e proximidade aos estabelecimentos já aderentes, e o sistema de baldeamento assistido para vidro, concebido para facilitar a descarga de pequenos contentores de 120 litros diretamente nos vidrões de maior capacidade, tornando mais simples, cómoda e eficiente a deposição desta tipologia de embalagens.
Estas soluções, desenvolvidas à medida das necessidades do setor, visam apoiar os estabelecimentos na correta separação dos resíduos produzidos, abrangendo não só as embalagens de vidro, mas também as embalagens de papel/cartão e de plástico/metal, através de circuitos de recolha dedicados e ajustados à sua realidade operacional.
“O setor da hotelaria, restauração e similares desempenha um papel muito importante na separação e encaminhamento de embalagens para reciclagem. Com esta campanha queremos apoiar os estabelecimentos na adoção de boas práticas ambientais, disponibilizando soluções que facilitem a deposição seletiva do vidro e contribuam para aumentar as quantidades encaminhadas para valorização, em benefício de todo o território do Algarve”, afirma Miguel Aranda, Presidente do Conselho de Administração da Algar.
Também Nuno Vieira, coordenador da Plataforma Vidro+,refere que “o vidro é um material infinitamente reciclável, pelo que é essencial garantir a sua correta separação e reciclagem. O setor HORECA tem um enorme potencial para aumentar a recolha de vidro, sobretudo em regiões turísticas como o Algarve, onde o consumo de embalagens aumenta significativamente na época alta. Esta parceria com a Algar reforça o compromisso da Plataforma Vidro+ em aumentar a reciclagem do vidro, sensibilizando o setor e promovendo soluções simples e eficazes, como o baldeamento assistido”.
A campanha reforça o compromisso da Algar e da Plataforma Vidro+ com a economia circular e com a sustentabilidade ambiental do Algarve, atuando junto de um setor que produz quantidades significativas de embalagens de vidro e outros materiais recicláveis, deixando o apelo para que todos os estabelecimentos façam parte desta iniciativa. Ao separar corretamente os resíduos e ao utilizar os equipamentos adequados, estamos todos a contribuir para uma região mais limpa e cuidada.

Mohamed L. is being released in France after just 4 years in detention, the same man who brutally murdered 40-year-old military doctor and father Alban Gervaise in front of his young children in 2022.
“It’s news that we’re trying to prepare for this early release after the murder, barely four years later. It’s news that is really hard to hear, that makes us really go back to our work of mourning for the children and me,” said Christelle Gervaise, the wife of Alban, in an interview with Legend TV.
“It’s true that it’s hard to imagine being able to be in the same city as him. It’s true that it’s quite unbearable for us.”
Mohamed L. is being released in France after just 4 years in detention, the same man who brutally murdered 40-year-old military doctor and father Alban Gervaise in front of his young children.

Alban was stabbed to death while waiting outside his children’s Catholic school to pick up his two sons, aged 3 and 7, while his 20-month-old daughter was inside his car, in Marseille in May 2022.
Now, the killer will enjoy partial release during evenings and weekends “at liberty.”
The mother, Christelle, is terrified, and the courts so far have refused to listen to her pleas to block Mohamed L. from being in the same city as her and her children.
“I find that it is an additional concern in our lives that we didn’t really need. And I had to announce to my children this early release. There is necessarily a feeling of injustice. How can he leave prison so early after the murder of their father? And then, yes, there is a great concern on the part of my children. That’s for sure.”
This clip is a condensed version of her full interview, but it showcases the horror a French family is facing, both from the murderer and from the French judicial system.
In the interview, Christelle describes the moment of disbelief and grief when she first learned her husband had been stabbed.
“This is not possible, this is not possible, what is happening,” she told herself.
But it did happen, just as it has happened to countless Europeans year after year. Upon arriving on scene, she is greeted with an empty car and no sign of her children.
“And in fact, I’m going to see a first policeman who is going to accompany me to see the principal this time, who reassures me, my children are safe inside the school, all three of them, but I learn from a policeman who comes that my husband is between life and death and has been transferred to the hospital for resuscitation,” she said.
Alban spent 17 days in a coma, where she tried to tell him over and over again that the children were not harmed and that they needed their father.
“And during those 17 days, I talked to him a lot and he … I hope he heard me. I will never know…. I kept repeating several times to Alban that our daughter is fine, that she is okay, that nothing happened at all. Because I imagine that as a father, for him, it was terrible to be attacked like that with a knife. And then to see that he was going to lose his consciousness. He must have felt it and imagined his daughter in danger.”
“I also tell him that he can’t leave, he can’t leave us. Our children are very small, and I need him, the children need him.”
Then, she describes the moment when she had to tell her young children that their father is gone.
“The death announcement to the children is something that I will never forget and I think it’s the hardest moment of my life, really.”
She was forced to sit her children down and let them know what happened to their father.
“So I told them that I had terrible news to tell them, but that unfortunately, their father had died the night before,” said Christelle.
Now, after the terrible ordeal of losing a father and a husband, the French court system is releasing their father’s killer with zero restrictions on him entering the same city as the family. While there is a direct contact ban, there is no guarantee they do not run into Mohamed L. on the street.
Mohamed L. never even faced a trial. Why? He smoked too much cannabis and had a “psychotic break.” The court experts confirmed this, and just like that, authorities deemed he could not be held criminally responsible. No trial and freedom after just four years.
“The fact that he is not imprisoned like a murderer for 15, 20 years in prison. It’s terrible for us. It’s terrible to know the violence Alban has suffered. And in addition, we must accept that after four years, his murderer is outside on evenings and weekends.”
“I am very worried, first of all, about the risk of recidivism. And then I find that for us, it is also a concern, since this person has the right to come to Marseille.”
She said that the authorities involved in the decision say Mohamed L. “must be able to benefit from it, he must have the necessary care.”
The murder already led the children to be forced from their own school. Now, they may have to leave their own city.
“My children have already had to change schools since it happened. They had to change friends. If, in addition, I tell them that we are leaving the city completely because the murderer and their father have the right to go where they want, I think that it is difficult to understand for them. I can’t help but say to myself, I don’t know where he is, I don’t know what he’s doing,” Christelle said.
She is fighting desperately with her lawyer to ensure this killer is no longer allowed in her city.
“The goal is that, is to have a measure that makes it forbidden for him to go to Marseille.”
“It is something that we carry on our shoulders with the children and that we will carry for a very long time.”
After his arrest, while held at Baumettes prison, he attempted to assault a guard, which contributed to his transfer to a psychiatric unit for difficult patients (UMD). This occurred after the murder and presumably, cannabis was not a factor in this assault.
Shockingly, during the trial, one of the psychiatrists openly said that they cannot predict whether the murderer will “relapse.”
“The question of the risk of a relapse. One of the psychiatrists had answered that it was a bit like predicting a plane crash, that it was impossible to predict. Psychiatrists who take care of this type of patient do not have a crystal ball to be sure that there will be no relapse. And this risk is still to be taken into account in the decisions to allow this person to be in the street today,” she said.
In other words, psychiatric experts admit Mohamed L. may murder again, yet, he is being allowed out on evenings and weekends anyway.
Christelle still has questions about how the man was deemed psychologically unfit to stand trial.
She said that after passersby tackled Mohamed L., he screamed: “In the name of Allah, I gave him 30 stab wounds!”
In response, Christelle said: “I always ask myself the question of something that was more premeditated than what you want to make me believe… We are talking about someone who can kill someone in the street. My husband only lasted a few moments. It’s not a fight, it’s a murder.”
“You think he’s going to go to prison. It doesn’t happen as planned. In relation to the trajectory of the murder of my husband,” she added.
“What is complicated, in fact, with this decision, is that we have no idea of the deadline. We don’t know how long he’s going to stay at the hospital in a closed unit. We don’t know how to answer this question. And despite everything, we can still hear that it is difficult to announce to his children that the murder of their father is not condemned to prison, but will have care for an undetermined duration. I also felt deprived of answers to certain questions,” she said.
Regardless, three children are now missing a loving father, with Alban’s wife describing a happy home life before his murder: “We had a life with Alban who was quite classic and very happy. We met in 2009. I was a medical student and he was an intern. We got engaged and then we got married. We had three children. We moved several times because Alban was a military doctor. So we met in Lorraine. Then we went to Paris for his work. Then to Marseille in July 2021. And we really had a very happy family life because Alban was a very loving husband, very loved and a father really present for his children and very invested in his role as a father.”
A study published in the journal Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies proposes a radically new reading of the Parthenon frieze, the famous 160-meter-long sculpture that surrounded the temple dedicated to Athena on the Acropolis of Athens.

Around fifteen thousand years ago, the hunter-gatherer communities that populated the southern Levant experienced a radical transformation in their social and spatial organization. Those groups that until then had maintained a nomadic lifestyle, moving with the herds and the seasons, drastically reduced their mobility and established the first permanent settlements known in the region.

Mai così tante informazioni disponibili. Mai così poca capacità di leggerle. Oltre al problema della lucidità come bene non espropriabile, ci chiediamo quale sia la differenza tra chi ha accumulato nozioni e chi possiede una conoscenza costruita con lo studio, la disciplina e l’esperienza.
Non è una questione accademica. È la differenza tra chi subisce gli eventi e chi li legge.
Mentre i fronti di guerra si moltiplicano e tendono a saldarsi in un unico scenario e lo Stretto di Hormuz resta chiuso, e il blocco navale statunitense e le condizioni poste da Teheran per una riapertura piena tengono in ostaggio le rotte del greggio e del gas naturale liquefatto. E mentre Banca Italia ci fa sapere quanto è cresciuto il debito, il conto dell’aggressione statunitense e israeliana arriva puntuale nelle bollette e nel carrello della spesa. Ne parliamo con Michele Putrino, scrittore e studioso di filosofia. Intervista a cura di Jeff Hoffman.
Di cosa parliamo: Accumulo di nozioni e conoscenza vera: perché non sono la stessa cosa La fatica dello studio come atto di libertà I fronti si uniscono: leggere una crisi invece di commentarla Impegno concreto e piedi piantati in terra

The EU economy’s seasonally adjusted greenhouse gas emissions in the first quarter of 2026 were estimated at 837 million tonnes of CO2-equivalents (CO2-eq), a 0.3% increase compared with the fourth quarter of 2025 (835 million tonnes of CO2-eq). At the same time, there was no change to the EU’s gross domestic product (GDP) in the first quarter of 2026, compared with the last quarter of 2025.
The economic sector with the largest increase in greenhouse gas emissions was electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply (+4.8%), while households (-1.3%), manufacturing and transportation and storage (both -0.6%) recorded the biggest decreases.
Compared with the first quarter of 2025, emissions went down by 1.2%, while the EU’s GDP increased by 0.8%.
Greenhouse gas emissions decreased in 7 EU countries
In the first quarter of 2026, seasonally adjusted greenhouse gas emissions increased in 20 EU countries and decreased in 7 countries, compared with the fourth quarter of 2025.
The largest reductions in greenhouse gases were estimated for Slovenia (-5.0%), Luxembourg (-3.8%) and Romania (-2.7%).
The largest increases in greenhouse gas emissions were estimated for Estonia (+9.7%), Finland (+6.4%) and Bulgaria (+4.6%). The increases in these countries are largely due to growing emissions by economic producers in construction and electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply.
In the first quarter of 2026, 20 EU countries recorded increases in greenhouse gas emissions, out of which 18 also increased their GDP. 7 countries reduced their greenhouse gas emissions. Out of these, 4 countries recorded a higher or stable GDP.
The data presented here are estimates by Eurostat, except for the Netherlands, Slovenia and Spain which provided their own data.
The greenhouse gas emission figures are seasonally adjusted. These adjusted series enable quarter-on-quarter change analyses. Data provided by countries are seasonally adjusted by Eurostat. The GDP figures are seasonally and calendar adjusted. More information on the seasonal adjustment is provided in atechnical note. Eurostat’s methodology attributes international transport emissions to individual countries according to the country of residence of the emitting economic producer, following the international System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA) standard. This is in line with the European System of Accounts used for the GDP and differs from the UNFCCC and the Paris Agreement rules.
The EU and the EU countries report annually on their greenhouse gas emissions to the UN. The so-called ‘Kyoto basket’ of greenhouse gases includes carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and fluorinated gases. They are expressed in a common unit: CO2-equivalents. EU countries are required to monitor their emissions of these gases for all source sectors based on internationally agreed obligations and rules. The EU greenhouse gas inventory managed by the European Environment Agency covers emissions from 1990 to 2 years before the current year and is submitted to the UN each spring after quality checks.
According to theEuropean Climate Law, the EU’s climate target is to achieve a -55% net reduction by 2030 and climate neutrality by 2050. The European Commission monitors and reports progress towards their GHG emission reduction targets on an annual basis using the inventory data in the Climate Action Progress Report.

Com direção musical de Pablo Urbina, a Orquestra do Algarve volta à Cerca do Convento do Espírito Santo, em Loulé, na próxima sexta-feira, 21 de agosto, pelas 21h30, para encher de música mais uma noite de verão.
Desta vez este momento musical faz-se ao sabor do cancioneiro português dos últimos 50 anos, com uma sucessão de temas que são conhecidos de todo o público, porém apresentados de uma forma puramente orquestral, onde a melodia vocal é assumida pelos mais diversos instrumentos da orquestra.
O concerto “Canções de toda a vida” tem entrada livre.
