 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. The aim of the decision to use cluster bombs—regardless of its long-term impact on civilians—is to kill as many Russian soldiers as possible. The reasoning that led in the past to the use of Agent Orange and Napalm—and which will be used to sanction the use of tactical nuclear weapons—is presently at work. This alarming development, which raises the possibility that a new and more dangerous variant could be spreading in Okinawa, has gone entirely unreported by all media outlets outside of Japan. The meeting Thursday between Canada's Labour Minister Seamus O'Regan and US Acting Secretary of Labour Julie Su must be taken as a warning by the more than 7,400 west coast Canadian dockworkers striking across 30 ports in British Columbia. The first diverted container ships have been identified as the MSC Sara Elena and the OOCL San Francisco. This week marks the tenth anniversary of the military coup in Egypt. On July 3, 2013, the then-military chief General Abdel Fatah al-Sisi took power with the support of the imperialist powers and established one of the most brutal and bloodiest regimes in the entire globe. Gary Tyler, a class-war prisoner from Destrehan, Louisiana, was framed up at the age of 16 for a murder he did not commit and incarcerated for nearly 42 years. He is now an artist and mentor of ex-prisoners. China's export restrictions on germanium and gallium were announced just prior to the visit of US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen that will bring with it new US demands and threats. Despite the Move Forward Party-led coalition winning a majority in the parliamentary lower house, it can still be prevented from forming government by the military-appointed upper house. In an indication of the seriousness with which the suit is being taken, several articles about Lehman's suit have appeared in leading legal news outlets over the past week. Prosecutors allege 37-year-old Taylor Taranto had two firearms, hundreds of rounds of ammunition and a machete in the van he drove to Obama's house. One young person said the attack on the IYSSE by Macquarie University is "an affront to democracy, intentionally crippling the ability of politically keen students to organise and fully voice their opinion from a socialist perspective." OPSEU has failed to provide any information about the far-right forces that threatened the June 21 anti-war meeting, let alone taken any action to mobilize opposition to them among its 180,000 members and the working class as a whole. In the film's opening, John Goetz argues that "it's a David and Goliath story … the whole weight and power of the American government focused against one individual." Abrams is one of the most loathsome figures in the US foreign policy establishment, personifying the homicidal violence, thuggishness and hypocrisy that has pervaded Washington's global operations for the last four decades. According to Safe Work Australia's preliminary figures, 16 construction workers have died already this year. Across all industries, 78 worker deaths were recorded in the 187 days to July 6, a rate of one fatality every 2.4 days. Robodebt was not an aberration. Whether fully automated or not, the "income compliance" programs began under the Hawke-Keating Labor government in the 1990s and continue to this day. The bourgeoisie fears that the exposure of Bolsonaro's crimes will precipitate a working class confrontation with the entire Brazilian political establishment for which it is not yet prepared. India: Proterial electronics workers strike in Haryana; Karnataka factory workers oppose 12-hour working-day laws; Australia: UGL Rail Services workers strike in NSW for higher pay; South Australian public hospital workers protest low pay and increased workloads. Striking teachers explained that schools are facing an unprecedented crisis caused by decades of underfunding, pushing underpaid staff and struggling students to breaking point. No industrial action has been called against the ticket office closures. Instead, the RMT is calling two "days of action"—protests to be held outside rail stations on July 13 and 18. The RMT's campaign centres on collaboration with the consultative process. Mayo was sentenced as an adult to 12 years imprisonment for something that occurred when she was still a child. The verdict and the sentence are unprecedented.
