突然報じられた「議員歳費の月5万円増額」。 あり得ません。 本日の参議院会派会議で確認しましたが、参議院執行部からは「聞いていません」との回答です。院を超えて事実関係の確認をお願いしました。 物価高に実質賃金が下がり続ける今、真っ先に守るべきは生活者です。 l.smartnews.com/m-6HCt1nhu/Wea…

🇮🇱 🚨 By the 2030s, all major eye diseases — even forms of blindness — may become fully curable. And this week, something extraordinary happened: A 76-year-old Israeli woman had her vision restored using the world’s first 3D-printed cornea. No donor. No waiting list. Just science, courage, and light. Using a tiny sample of human corneal cells, researchers bioprinted a full, functional cornea — a living implant created entirely in a lab. One small donor sample can produce hundreds of corneas. This single innovation could end the global shortage of donor tissue forever. And then came the moment no one will ever forget: Doctors placed the lab-grown cornea in her eye… She blinked… And saw the world again. A physician at the center of the breakthrough said it best: “This transplant is a moment of real hope for millions. It’s the first time a lab-made cornea from human source cells has restored sight in a human being. This isn’t just scientific progress — it’s historic.” Imagine what this means: 📌 People waiting years for a cornea — healed in days. 📌 The end of preventable blindness worldwide. 📌 A future where losing your vision isn’t a life sentence… but a solvable problem. The future of medicine is not coming. It’s here. And it’s restoring sight — one miracle at a time. -Never Again

The Russians started the war, and there is no other way to put it. The whole world is a witness. They came with aggression to destroy us. We stopped them. Europe helped, America helped. Russia failed to occupy Ukraine first and foremost because of the strength of the Ukrainian people – warriors and civilians – and, of course, thanks to our partners. The United States says that a lot of blood has been shed and it’s enough. And we fully support them. But we must end this war in a way that prevents Russia from coming back a year later with a third invasion. They did not achieve their goal of occupying our country. But I am not sure their objectives have changed. They may simply hold up and we need protection for that. What will happen tomorrow when our warriors come back home? When they once again become teachers, engineers, people of different professions? They will return, and Russia will continue building up its military strength, preparing for yet another invasion. This is why we want clarity. This is what Ukrainians need.

Survive. Endure. Prevail. Ukraine’s Victory Must Be More Than a Military Outcome Ukraine is entering another winter of war — nearly twelve years since the first Russian invasion, almost four years since the full-scale assault. And across the country, you can feel the exhaustion. People are tired. The news cycle is heavy. Families are separated. Plans are uncertain. Entire generations are growing up under air-raid sirens. It often feels as if the future is shrinking. And yet — this is exactly the moment when nations decide who they are. On December 1, 1991, Ukrainians made a historic choice: independence, dignity, and the right to decide their own destiny. Today, that choice is being tested again. Not in a referendum, but on the battlefield, in classrooms, in hospitals, in volunteer centers, and in every home where people refuse to give up. Russia’s goal is brutally simple: Ukraine must cease to exist. Not just as a territory, but as an identity, a culture, a democratic idea. This is why every discussion about “settlements” or “deals” is so dangerous. Peace cannot be a transaction. Freedom cannot be bartered. A nation cannot be sold. Ukraine’s victory must be multidimensional. Militarily, victory means denying russia the ability to threaten Ukraine — making its aggression meaningless. It means precision, innovation, drones, fortified cities, secure skies, and the steady degradation of russia’s capacity to wage war. Politically, victory means safeguarding Ukraine’s sovereignty, democratic institutions, identity, and Ukrainians’ right to choose their alliances — without external vetoes, ultimatums, or “spheres of influence.” Humanly, victory means building a country where people want to live: with rule of law, real opportunity, strong institutions, and respect for human dignity. A Ukraine where a child’s future is not defined by a missile map. This moment demands clarity. No illusions. No fear. And no retreat. Ukraine will survive. Ukraine will endure. Ukraine will prevail.

日本の農業が消える？【25年11月30日 『逢坂誠二の徒然日記』8369回】 🌾日本の農業が“消えるかもしれない”——
農林業センサス2025概数値が公表され、厳しい現実が浮き彫りになりました。 基幹的農業従事者は全国で25％減の102万人。
1985年の346万人から40年で7割減。北海道も19％減と深刻です。
資材高騰、猛暑、離農…。担い手の減少が止まりません。 平均年齢は全国で67.6歳とわずかに若返り傾向📉
しかし北海道は58.8歳とむしろ上昇。法人化や規模拡大は進むものの、このままでは農地400万ヘクタールを維持できません。 食料安全保障そのものが揺らぎ始めています。
必要なのは、
✔離農を防ぐ緊急対策
✔新規就農を呼び込む中長期の基盤整備
資材高騰の補填、異常気象対策、就農初期の生活支援、農地継承の円滑化…。
やるべきことは明確です。 農業は日本の根幹。
危機感の乏しい現状から、本気の政策転換へ。
この課題に引き続き全力で向き合います。🌱 #逢坂誠二 #農業 #新規就農 #離農

Landslides and flooding have killed at least 153 people in Sri Lanka after Cyclone Ditwah, officials said on Saturday, with 191 still missing and more than half a million people affected nationwide.

運転免許を更新しにいったんだけど、マイナ免許証にも切り替えられる（そうすると次回以降更新時の講習がオンラインでできるようになるらしい）と聞いたので、窓口で「マイナ免許証切り替えで」と言ったら、窓口の人から「本当に切り替えて大丈夫ですか？？？」と何度も強い口調で確認された。 なんでもあまりにマイナ免許証に切り替えた人が切り替えたあといろいろ不便で後悔して元の免許証に戻す人が続出しているのだとか。 いろいろ話を聞いてみると、マイナ免許証に完全切り替え（一本化）すると、海外でレンタカー運転する際ダメというデメリットもあるらしく、そりゃ取材時に困るわとなって、結局通常の免許証とマイナ免許証の2枚持ちで更新することになりました。でも2枚持ちだとデータ統合などのメリットが薄くなるので、何のために2枚持つんだという話に……。 いやー窓口の職員から全力で止められるマイナ免許証切り替えって大概だなと思うし（現場も混乱しまくっているのでしょう）、完全にマイナンバーカード関係は失敗したんだなぁと感じましたね。一から設計見直して10年くらいの移行期間を設けてじっくりやり直すしかないと思いますよマジで。

今月、高市首相と国会で、戦後80年の教訓などについて質疑をいたしました。その部分の抜粋です。ご覧ください。戦争体験者がほとんどおられなくなり、戦争へのハードルが下がっているように感じます。

戦後80年、高市首相に問う｜長妻昭 note.com/akira1960/n/n9…

🇮🇱Israeli researchers have developed a breakthrough cartilage regeneration therapy that could eliminate the need for knee replacements altogether, offering millions of people a chance to restore joint function without major surgery. The treatment uses advanced biomaterials and stem-cell engineering to regrow healthy cartilage inside the knee, repairing the damaged tissue that causes chronic pain, stiffness, and mobility loss. Early patients have shown remarkable recovery, with regenerated cartilage behaving just like natural, youthful tissue. Scientists say the technology works by creating a supportive scaffold that encourages the body to rebuild cartilage from the inside out. Instead of replacing the joint with metal implants, the therapy restores what was lost — allowing patients to move freely again without long recovery times or invasive procedures. For many, it represents a future where worn-out joints can be healed rather than replaced. But as the innovation gains attention, it’s facing resistance in some medical circles. Orthopedic surgeons who rely heavily on knee replacement procedures worry the therapy could disrupt a multibillion-dollar industry. Critics argue that financial incentives and established surgical practices may slow the adoption of regenerative treatments, even when they offer patients safer, less invasive options. Supporters push back, insisting that medicine must evolve toward long-term healing, not recurring operations. The debate is growing louder, but one thing is clear: Israel’s cartilage regeneration breakthrough has the potential to redefine joint care worldwide. A future where knees can be fully restored — without implants, replacements, or lifelong limitations — is now within reach. - TechTimes

ここは、こだわります。 『そんなこと』と高市総理が言われた自民党地方支部の実態調査。 33億円。 自民党で最も企業団体献金を集めるのが地方支部で、5万円以下の支出は非公開。政治活動に使われたのか、裏金や私的流用はないのかを誰も確認できません。 『そんなこと』ではない。

The European Parliament has adopted a resolution demanding that the EU be included at the negotiating table and that Russia’s frozen assets be transferred to Kyiv. The document also includes a pledge to never recognize the occupied regions as part of the Russian Federation. The resolution further states that any peace agreement must include the withdrawal of Russian troops from Crimea and the Donbas.

🇪🇺🇺🇦 The division of Ukraine is unacceptable, as it will become a precedent for future wars and conflicts, - Ursula von der Leyen "If today we legitimize and formalize the undermining of borders, we will open the door to new wars tomorrow, we cannot allow this." She noted that Europe is trying to influence US attempts to end the war in Ukraine.

💦 All mosques in Uzbekistan will perform a prayer asking for… rain Due to a prolonged drought and lack of precipitation, the Muslim Directorate announced that after Friday prayer, all mosques in the country will hold a collective two-rak’ah “istisqa” prayer — asking for rain. The initiative was introduced by Mufti Nuriddin Holiqnazar. Officials note that rain is a source of sustenance and abundance, and no rainfall is expected in the coming days. 🤡 In addition, livestock will be sacrificed.

The night President Trump was inaugurated as president, I spent the night in Slovyansk (Donetsk Oblast of Ukraine) which is just couple kilometers from Russian soldiers. Pastors and leaders gathered from many local cities and villages. These people serve churches as close to the frontline as it gets. Many of the pastors have family members or church members killed or have been drafted into the army. The pastor at whose house we stayed that night already lost 3 sons due to Russian terrorists. Two were killed back in 2014 when Russia first attacked, and the 3rd son recently, when a random bomb hit their car. They regularly see bombs destroying their cities, Russian and North Korean soldiers plotting daily to kill innocent civilians and residents of Ukraine. Every night they go sleep to bombs flying above, not knowing if they will wake up. But the atmosphere in the room was hopeful. The inauguration of President Trump brought hope that he would stand up to Putin, and force his troops to pack up and leave. Or at least stop bombing Ukriane. Ten months later, a proposal from the US calls these people to give up Slavyaks and the surrounding cities because Putin is unsatisfied with what he has. The current 28-point plan calls these people to be forced to leave their homes. I’d encourage Trump, Vance, Witkoff or anyone else: come with me to Slovyansk and meet some of these Ukrainians, who’s homes you want to also give up to a dictator. Look them in their eyes. See the graves of their sons already killed. See their desire to live and be left alone. Author: Pastor Russell Korets
