 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Nuclear testing, beyond scattering deadly radiation into the atmosphere and contaminating groundwater, is universally understood as a massively escalatory gesture, expanding the possibility of nuclear war, whether through miscalculation or deliberate provocation. Accepting calmly and with dignity his approaching death, Alan expressed satisfaction with the course of his life, to which he had devoted 50 years to the struggle for socialism. More than 20,000 troops are to be trained in the suppression of civil unrest and prepared to deploy on 24 hours notice anywhere in the US. After initial news reportage, the mainstream media has largely dropped the story, showing little interest in how this tragedy will impact psychologically and economically on the immediate families or the community. "Whether it's safe work, governments or the unions, they're all covering up the real cause of workplace deaths and injuries, that is, the capitalist system that puts profits over lives." The summit was overshadowed by Trump's highly provocative announcement, just prior to meeting Xi, that the US would immediately recommence "nuclear testing" in a move that threatens to dramatically escalate the nuclear arms race. Following an agreement with Malaysia in which it will invest $70 billion in the US over the course of 10 years, Trump managed to finalise the commitment by South Korea to supply $350 billion in investment funds to the US. While calling for a strike authorization vote, the UAW has not set a strike deadline and signaled its acceptance of VW's substandard pay offer. Far from expressing the urgent interests of the masses, the vote represents a further stage in the reshuffling of power among factions of the ruling elite as they grapple with mounting social, economic and geopolitical turmoil. Mass protests have erupted across Tanzania following a fraudulent vote engineered to secure President Samia Suluhu Hassan and the ruling CCM another term in power. Soyinka, 91, has repeatedly criticized the Trump administration over its inhumane treatment of immigrants. With the aim of "creating the strongest conventional army in Europe," the Merz government is pushing forward an unprecedented militarisation and preparations for war. While Berlin's public schools are falling apart, social institutions are on the brink of collapse, and ruthless cuts are being made in hospitals, care services, universities and public infrastructure, the Berlin state administration is pouring millions into expanding the apparatus of state repression. The documentary has attracted an audience seeking to understand the rise of Bolsonaro in Brazil, but it ignores the role played by the Workers Party (PT) of President Lula. A recent Associated Press investigation revealing hundreds of anti-science bills across the United States anchors this analysis of the MAHA movement, whose integration with the Trump administration's austerity agenda threatens public health, deepens inequality, and endangers the social gains of the working class. For decades Johnson and Johnson covered up the fact that their talcum powder was contaminated with asbestos and was allegedly killing its customers. Public sector workers across Portugal strike over funding cuts, pay and conditions; workers at Israel's Holocaust museum stage first ever full strike over wages; postal workers in Kenya and Embu, Nigeria walk out over months of salary arrears About the WSWS The World Socialist Web Site is published by the International Committee of the Fourth International, the world Trotskyist movement, and its affiliated sections in the Socialist Equality Parties around the world.
