 Dear reader, Here are the latest articles published today on the World Socialist Web Site. Adams' death is part of a continuing pattern of preventable workplace tragedies in which workers' lives are sacrificed for the sake of profit. At their meeting in Brussels on Wednesday, the defence ministers of the 32 NATO member states laid the groundwork for the largest military build-up in the alliance's history. In a recent newspaper interview, the right-wing military historian Sönke Neitzel openly sought to rehabilitate Hitler's Army, the Wehrmacht, and its criminal traditions. The entire American legal system is founded on the concept that the individual, not the family or a kin group, is responsible for his or her own actions. The illegal deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to a prison in El Salvador was ended on Friday with his return to the US. However, he was arrested by US authorities as two felony charges were against him in the state of Tennessee. On January 19, the Socialist Equality Party held an international meeting in memory of Wolfgang Weber, who died on November 16 after a serious illness. Wolfgang Weber was an outstanding fighter for Trotskyism and long-time Central Committee member of the Socialist Equality Party. Talks between China and the US over tariffs and trade will resume on Monday in London after it appeared that the 90-day truce agreed to last month in Geneva was about to collapse. "Boeing doesn't really care about the safety of the employees. They don't care about what happens when you walk out the door and go home to your families." President Donald Trump's firing of tens of thousands of federal workers in the past few months, targeting agencies that do not suit his needs or those of the financial oligarchy, have left workers in the Washington, D.C. area scrambling to make ends meet. Admiral Johnston declared that Australians had to "reconsider" the country as a "homeland" from which to conduct combat operations for the first time since World War II. The limited character of the action called by the Queensland Nurses and Midwives Union, and its refusal to issue a concrete wage demand, is a stark sign that a sell-out deal with the state government is being prepared. CPS officials are proposing to "delay" hiring librarians, nurses and staff needed to reduce class sizes, vindicating warnings by the WSWS that teachers would come under attack if the CTU and Johnson administration were allowed to block strike action. The decision marks a further shift to outlaw political free speech on the campuses and more broadly and must be opposed by students, staff and all those who defend basic civil liberties. The termination of the program will end education, housing, and job training for tens of thousands of young people in low-income households. Since Robert Iger returned as CEO in 2023, Disney has carried out thousands of job cuts, with over 8,000 employees let go in his first year back in charge. Unless workers intervene, the government—citing CUPW and the NDP's calls for binding arbitration—will soon use this mechanism to strip us of the right to strike and to impose savage contract concessions. India: Punjab State Power Corporation hires scabs to break indefinite strike; Bangladesh: Protesting apparel workers attacked by police; Vertech oil and gas production workers in Western Australia begin industrial action: Qube crane operators in Queensland on strike for industry standard pay rates. The open letter provides a devastating exposure of the collapse of democracy in Britain, with the right to free speech and protest being overturned. The Izmir strike should be the starting point for workers to break with the capitalist parties, the pseudo-left parties that support them, and the trade union apparatus. Britain's Apartheid Apologists was published by CAGE, set up in 2003 to raise awareness of the plight of detainees held at Guantánamo Bay. CAGE campaigns against torture, imprisonment without trial, anti-terror laws and similar injustices. The ICEU bureaucracy, in line with the International Monetary Fund and the pro-big business policies of the JVP/NPP government, is completely responsible for the witch hunt of Michelin workers.
