BBC Europe – US issues ‘Putin list’ of 210 top Russians but avoids more sanctions. The US has published a list of 114 Russian politicians and 96 oligarchs, some close to the president, as part of a sanctions law aimed at punishing Russia for meddling in the US election. The US stressed those named had not been hit with new sanctions, although some have already been targeted. Congress passed the sanctions law in August. President Donald Trump signed it while making his reservations clear.

Palestinian author: Forget the dream of a Palestinian state
US President Donald Trump’s decision to acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital of Israel was to many the end of the dream of a two state solution. However, in reality, Palestine is already integrated in Israel, says the Palestinian intellectual Sari Nusseibeh. If it became one state, the Palestinians could begin the fight for rights. |

Akilov stole Manuel’s truck and murdered five people
On 7 April 2017, truck driver Manuel’s truck was stolen when he was about to deliver goods to a restaurant. The truck was used later on by suspected terrorist Rakhmat Akilov, who murdered five people on Drottninggatan in Stockholm. Nine months later, Manuel has recurring nightmares about the truck. He comments that he sometimes feels that he would have happily laid down his own life to stop Akilov. |
