(Not sure how they can know that all protesters are "liberals", but that's the BBC for you)

'Hands Off': Anti-Trump protests gather in cities across the US

Thousands of protesters have gathered for the most visible opposition movement of Trump's second term.

Direct citation from Steve Witkoff, the special envoy of Trump leading the US ceasefire negotiations with both Russia and Ukraine:

"I don't regard Putin as a bad guy," he said. "He's super smart."

"In an interview with pro-Trump journalist Tucker Carlson, Witkoff praised Vladimir Putin, saying he "liked" the Russian president."

"he was unable to name the five regions of Ukraine either annexed or partially occupied by Russian forces."

And a lot more lies from him reported in this article: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c62zm4…

Why is an ignorant puppet of Putin like this leading these negotiations from the US side?? Clearly he should be on the Russian side?

"Amazon rainforest cut down to build highway for COP climate summit"
bbc.com/news/articles/c9vy191r…

Edit: some answers point that COP is probably not the only reason for this highway project to go through. Regardless of that, I would say COP should use its power to block the highway ASAP, instead of (apparently) encouraging it.

Amazon rainforest cut down to build highway for COP climate summit

The infrastructure required to host climate talks in Belém is undermining the cause, campaigners say.
