🙋 155th Weekly protest

Livestock is slaughtered in Russia. Mr. Nobody Against Putin. Achievements of Portuguese scientists.

You're watching news from the weekly rally in front of the Russian Embassy in Lisbon. Today is March 21st, 2:30 PM.

On March 15, an interview with farmer Svetlana Panina and her husband was released on the "Disclosedlive" YouTube channel. Svetlana said that a quarantine had been imposed in the village; they talked about pasteurellosis, vaccinated against foot-and-mouth disease, and did not even show them the test results. Panina claims that, in her absence, veterinarians and security forces entered her property and slaughtered all her livestock: 40 cows, 150 sheep, goats, camels, and pigs. She believes the animals were healthy and that the authorities' actions were illegal. Watch, it sounds like an episode of "The X-Files."

On March 16, the documentary "Mr. Nobody Against Putin," created by American director David Borenstein and Pavel Talankin, a teacher from the Ural city of Karabash, won an Oscar. The film shows how the system makes violence and lies commonplace and mundane. First, you see an ordinary provincial school and a man who loves his workplace and his students. Then, step by step, military symbols, forced patriotism, and the fear of saying too much appear in the frame. Pavel shared his impressions of the ceremony on "The Breakfast Show" YouTube channel.

"When we act complicit when a government murders people on the streets of our major cities, when we don't say anything when oligarchs take over the media and control how we can produce it and consume it. We all face a moral choice, but luckily, even a nobody is more powerful than you think," said David Borenstein in his Oscar acceptance speech.

"I'm a small person, I can't do anything," everyone thinks. We are small people here too, just like you. But we chose not to tolerate what is happening, to show you what is happening and what we stand against. Join us.

On March 13, Observador reported that Portuguese scientists are installing the POET solar telescope in Chile's Atacama Desert. It should help them better study the Sun, stars, and exoplanets.
