Es ist in der Hand der türkischen Behörden, die unkontrollierte Nutzung hochgefährlicher Pestizide zu unterbinden, damit diese Fälle aufhören.
In Deutschland gab es 1980 noch 506 pestizidbedingte Todesfälle, 2010 nur noch 39. Dank Regulierung und Kontrolle.
Pestizide in türkischen Hotels: "Der nächste Todesfall ist nur eine Frage der Zeit"
Nach dem Tod einer Hamburger Familie in Istanbul kommen immer mehr Fälle ans Licht. Wie gefährlich sind türkische Hotels? Und können sich Urlauber schützen?

Im Fall der in Istanbul verstorbenen Hamburger Familie bestätigen die türkischen Behörden den Fund von Phosphingas im Zimmer der Familie, der zu Gas reagierten Form des Pestizids Aluminiumphosphit. Damit ist die Todesursache endgültig geklärt.

Die gleiche Firma wie im Fall der Hamburger Familie hat mit ihrem Pestizideinsatz im April 24 den Tod eines Kindes verursacht.
Bei angeblicher Präsidentenbeleidigung ist die türkische Justiz blitzschnell, beim Schutz von Leben ziemlich träge.
Ein Justizskandal und eine Schande.

With the excellent @helenwarrell.bsky.social we dive into Ireland's defence vulnerability here...
When it comes to modern war, Ireland is a high-value target: its waters on the western fringe of Europe contain three-quarters of all undersea cables in the northern hemisphere. Despite this, is unprotected and unprepared.

Ukraine relations get even more chaotic. Two factions - Kushner/Witkoff and Vance/Driscoll - are both freelancing to set US policy: cutting out the State Dept, pushing Ukraine to surrender, then leaking to press to claim they are official. Why? Putin is desperate and has called in his assets. A 🧵 1/

The entire world can clearly see that Putin owns Steve Witkoff and yet Witkoff is the one that Trump wants leading the negotiations on a peace deal. If Putin owns Witkoff, and Trump doesn’t care, that means Putin owns Trump - either directly, by proxy, or by stupidity.
