August 28, 2024, Berlin, Germany:A group of pro-Palestine protesters staged an unregistered flash mob inside Berlin’s Main Train Station on August 28, 2024, calling out what they described as a “genocide” by Israel in Gaza. The demonstrators chanted slogans such as “Intifada revolution,” “Intifada till victory,” and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” while raising Palestinian flags. The protest appeared to target both Israel and Germany, with some participants expressing anger towards Germany’s support of Israel. Shouts of “Fuck you, Germany” were reportedly heard among the crowd. Berlin police temporarily detained the protesters to verify their identities. The flash mob, which took place during peak travel hours, drew significant attention from commuters and onlookers in the bustling station. Local authorities are investigating the incident, as the protest was not officially registered, and organizers could face penalties under German law. The event reflects ongoing tensions and the deepening divide over the Israel-Palestine war, with Berlin often being a focal point for demonstrations on both sides. The counter-protest occurred just outside the station’s main entrance, where the pro-Palestine protesters were led away by police for identity verification. Participants in the counter-protest waved Israeli flags in a show of support for Israel.

Scott Mc Kiernan Presents zReportage.com Issue #952 Story of the Week: Published: TUESDAY August 27, 2024: ‘BANGLADESH From Above’ by ZUMA Press award winning photo-journalist Muhammad Amdad Hossain: Bangladesh, to the east of India on the Bay of Bengal, is a South Asian country marked by lush greenery and many waterways, its capital Dhaka is widely considered to be the most densely populated built-up urban area in the world. With two-thirds of the country less than 20 feet above sea level and with rapidly growing urban centers, Bangladesh is highly threatened by climate change. By 2050, Bangladesh will lose 17 percent of its territory due to rising sea levels, resulting in the loss one third of the country’s agricultural land. Projected sea level rise of 0.5 meters would contribute to millions of internal migrants by midcentury. If not addressed, these challenges could lead to a proliferation of climate-vulnerable refugee settlements, further straining already limited resources. Welcome to ‘BANGLADESH From Above’
