 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. This interview was conducted on August 16 with WSWS International Editorial Board Chairman David North, as part of an event marking 85 years since the assassination of Leon Trotsky, on the island of Büyükada (Prinkipo), Turkey. What the unions, the Liberal government and big business feared most was that the flight attendants' defiance of the back-to-work order would spread and mobilize broader sections of the working class across Canada. In conversations with World Socialist Web Site reporters Monday, Air Canada flight attendants explained how the issues they were fighting over are questions of burning relevance to all workers. The European powers' goal of bringing Ukraine and Russia under their control with American support has proven to be a disastrous miscalculation. Public sector unions went on strike and held demonstrations across the country on Monday protesting the Erdoğan government' s imposition of an austerity contract. The return to power of the far right in Bolivia proves once again that bourgeois nationalism only serves to disarm the working class. Vranciu's death exposes the brutal working conditions facing agricultural labourers, many of them migrants, as heat waves surge due to climate change. Laying the groundwork for challenging all future election results that don't suit him, Trump is recycling his 2020 lie that mail-in ballots are fraudulent. The collapse of mobility reflects not individual choice but a calculated outcome of capitalist policy, enforced by the Democrats, Republicans and unions, to entrench inequality and subordinate workers to corporate and financial power.

The incident exposes the increasingly desperate efforts by Australian university and cultural institutions to censor all popular opposition to the Gaza genocide. New Zealand government "considering" recognition of Palestine, as it continues to back Gaza genocide The NZ government has sent troops to the Middle East to assist the US-Israeli war machine, and is allowing investment in weapons that are being used to kill Palestinians. The German government is planning a reform of welfare payments, which would also cut housing support for the poorest households. The strike is part of a growing wave of industrial action and the radicalisation of workers in Sri Lanka and around the world against attacks on social and democratic rights. The contract is part of a nationwide campaign of sabotage being waged by the UFCW bureaucracy, proving workers must prepare a fight against both Kroger and the union bureaucrats through rank-and-file committees. "It's one thing to strike for a day—that doesn't change or impact anything. I think a complete shutdown is the only real action that can be taken." The NTEU attributes the nationwide job destruction to individual university vice-chancellors, covering up the Albanese government's agenda. For many years, Northvolt was seen as a critical part of European and American efforts to create an EV battery supply chain relatively independent of East Asia. Streeting's "Fit for the Future: 10 Year Health Plan"—a blueprint for accelerating NHS privatisation—is proceeding apace with no opposition from the health unions.
