Vučić’s 12-year reign looks to have been ended by record turnout of voters in election provoked by student-led protests
The long-serving leader of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić, has conceded defeat, ushering in a seismic political shift after a historic election that saw the increasingly authoritarian leader pitted against a student-led movement that had spent two years protesting against his government.
Vučić pointed to preliminary results that suggested voters had overwhelmingly backed the students, potentially giving them a majority in the country’s 250-seat parliament.

It was a seismic political shift in the Balkan country where Vucic, who had been endorsed by Russian President Vladimir Putin and who denounced the student movement as a foreign-led attempt to unseat him, led with virtually absolute power for 14 years.
Um policial militar foi detido neste domingo (25) tentando fotografar seu voto na cabine eleitoral, em Três Rios, no Rio de Janeiro. Com ele, foram encontrados R$ 114. Segundo o presidente do Tribunal Superior Eleitoral do Rio (TRE-RJ), Claudio de Mello Tavares, constatou-se que o subtenente havia vendido o voto.
Foram registradas cinco ocorrências de crime eleitoral. Entre elas, uma fiscal do PL foi presa por boca de urna no Largo do Machado. Ela foi levada para a Superintendência da Polícia Federal.
Segundo o presidente do TRE-RJ, em São Gonçalo, na região metropolitana, chegaram notícias de que havia frotas de ônibus que não estavam rodando na cidade. "O transporte não estava conforme o que tínhamos determinado. Prontamente, houve uma decisão judicial determinando que as empresas colocassem os transportes na rua sob pena de multa por hora de R$ 500 mil. Imediatamente retornou à normalidade ainda na parte da manhã", disse o desembargador. No estado do Rio, 150 urnas foram substituídas, 0,4% do total.

A Roma al termine del percorso previsto ed autorizzato da Piazza della Repubblica fino ai Fori imperiali, un nutrito gruppo di manifestanti ha chiesto di poter proseguire il corteo. Circa 7 mila persone, con l’ok delle autorità hanno continuato a manifestare per le vie della Capitale. Prima su via Labiana e poi superando via Merulana. Davanti a Santa Maria Maggiore la Digos ha deciso, in accordo con la questura e la prefettura, di far proseguire ulteriormente il corteo. La protesta è quindi arrivata fino a Largo di Santa Susanna. Qui uno nuovo stop del corteo e una lunga trattativa, con la richiesta dei manifestanti di proseguire verso i palazzi istituzionali.
Col trascorrere dei minuti però gli animi si sono scaldati e si è arrivati al corpo a corpo tra manifestanti e polizia. Le forze dell’ordine hanno reagito prima con cariche di alleggerimento e poi con gli idranti. Terminate le tensioni, che hanno portato ad un arresto, il corteo è proseguito in direzione opposta rispetto al centro della città fino al quartiere di San Lorenzo.

Hay portadas sobre temas de los que todos hablan; otras, de asuntos de los que nadie se atreve a discutir. También están aquellas que dan que hablar, las que tratan cuestiones sobre las que jamás pensaste que podrías tener una opinión y las que dan voz a alguien para que cuente lo que nadie ha contado. Las 219 portadas aquí recopiladas contienen todas estas categorías. Desde el primer número, que abordaba el tema del aborto cuando pocos se atrevían a hacerlo, hasta el relato de aquellas horas que Antonio Muñoz Molina compartió con Salman Rushdie, a quien el integrismo quería silenciar para siempre. También están las portadas publicadas en plena pandemia de la covid, que aportaban contenido a la conversación que todos queríamos tener. Y luego está Millás y su biografía de una mosca. Jamás pensamos que su vida nos llegaría a interesar tanto. Así es El País Semanal, la parte del periódico que es revista y la revista que más se asemeja a un periódico.

The job market is rough right now; many would-be entry-level workers are still on the hunt.
A new Twitch show hopes to help answer labor market questions and offer job seekers advice.
So far, they've advised callers on everything from salaries to highlighting unique experience.
When Hans Romine finished his architecture degree in 2025, the24-year-old began looking for work. After about 50 job applications yielded a single interview appointment, he started feeling despondent.
That's when a friend told him about a new show called 877UNMPLYD.
The show is on Twitch, a streaming platform favored by gamers and fans, but has an unlikely host: Jeremy Zimmer, the former CEO of United Talent Agency, along with digital-savvy producer Rachel Braun. The show offers career advice, discusses labor market news, and fields live call-ins from people looking for work.
When Romine called in, he mentioned he'd spent a few months as a recreation supervisor, building morale at an isolated research station in Antarctica. Zimmer and Braun found that the most interesting part of his whole story, and told him to play it up in applications and interviews.
Romine took their advice, and when he went in for that interview, he highlighted his experiences out on the tundra. After he landed the job, he called back in to let the hosts know.
That's the kind of win Zimmer and Braun hope to replicate. Over their first season, the duo hosted 12 episodes, with one episode filmed live on the streets of New York garnering over 54,000 views.
The show is a small experiment in career guidance at a moment when the entry-level job market is getting harder to navigate — especially in New York City. A new report from Partnership for New York City, a nonprofit business advocacy group, found that the number of entry-level jobs has shrunk disproportionately among professions highly exposed to AI; entry-level postings in design, media, and writing fell by 40.6%.
Nationally, employment in white-collar industries has fallen, even as output has gone up — indicating that AI might be effectively replacing entry-level white-collar work.
That dearth of entry-level opportunities is part of what spawned the show, a partnership between TikTok savant Adam Faze and the economic mobility nonprofit Schultz Family Foundation. Judith Dubin, the head of content at the foundation, said that they'd drilled down on investments in career navigation after recognizing how difficult it is to be graduating from high school or college into the current labor market.
"The current job marketplace is so disrupted with the advent of AI," Dubin said. "It's just an additional barrier for young people."
In August, Zimmer and Braun set up a desk on a plaza at Baruch College, with a sign that said "Ask a CEO," and fielded questions from students. One student asked for advice on how to negotiate salary expectations, especially in the interview process. Braun said that not all advice-seekers are new grads: One Gen X marketer called in after being laid off, feeling pushed out of the tech industry.
Going into the show, Zimmer focused on what it must feel like when getting a job is no longer as simple as putting your head down, working hard, and expecting things to work out.
"That age-old mantra doesn't feel as relevant today," Zimmer said. He's been struck by the contrast between callers who are hyper-focused on what they want, eschewing any concern about why that can't happen, and those who are baffled that they've applied for hundreds of jobs and haven't gotten any interviews. He's found both the naivety and the determination of the callers exciting.
Braun, the show's other host and a producer, said that AI emerged as a major theme throughout their first season — both the opportunities it presented and the way that it was shaking up the entry-level job hunt.
Romine, who landed a job, hopes that employers can once again understand the value of having fresh talent on their teams. But as the labor market continues its entry-level contraction, getting a leg up — even if it's through advice on a Twitch show — is ever more important.
"In the meantime, students and graduates need to really figure out how to work the current system and make themselves stand out in such an intense market," Romine said.
When President Donald Trump encouraged Ohio gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy to keep running the despicable attack ad featuring his opponent Amy Acton’s estranged mother, the message to survivors of sexual abuse was unmistakable. The TV ad shows the Democratic candidate’s mother, who defended Acton’s stepfather after he was accused of sexually abusing Acton starting at 9 years old, and who lost custody of Acton and her brother after her stepfather was indicted for raping her.
Trump called the ad “hitting pay dirt.” Vice President JD Vance dismissed it as “not really my concern.” Ironically, keeping the American public safe from harm — regardless of their political affiliation — is arguably the most important duty of the president and vice presidential offices.
These endorsements take a family’s rejection of a survivor’s testimony and back it with national political power.
Ramaswamy’s campaign committed $4 million to promote the ad. On Thursday, Ohio’s Republican Gov. Mike DeWine said his wife had seen the spot on television that morning, indicating the campaign had moved from defending the ad to actually putting it into people’s homes for anyone to watch. Donald Trump Jr. also urged Ohio voters to watch it.
As a surgeon who has cared for survivors of sexual abuse, I am concerned about the people watching the ad who themselves have experienced sexual abuse, who will never appear on a ballot. What does it tell them when the president and vice president defend the public humiliation of someone who endured childhood sexual abuse, just to score political points? It tells them that the very people elected to protect them will abandon and defame them, just to win. These endorsements take a family’s rejection of a survivor’s testimony and back it with national political power.
For a survivor of sexual abuse, any reminder of abuse can bring the past painfully into the present, forcing them to relive what happened to them. Survivors of childhood sexual abuse especially go through multiple, sometimes lifelong cycles of self-blame and guilt after disclosure, especially given that the majority of children who are sexually abused know their abuser, as in Acton’s case.
A child may blame herself for the upheaval that follows disclosure: leaving home, losing contact with a parent, seeing a sibling’s life disrupted. She may wonder whether staying silent would have kept her family together. That is a devastating burden for a child, and the ensuing adult, to carry. As professionals who work with survivors, we must make clear that telling someone did not make her responsible for the abuse or its consequences. The responsibility belongs to the adults who harmed her and failed to protect her.
Broadcasting Acton’s mother’s words risks reinforcing precisely that misplaced guilt that we work so hard to heal. And when the president and vice president defend and support it, they give a survivor’s deepest self-doubt the authority of the highest offices in the country.
No responsible physician can diagnose Acton from a campaign advertisement, and survivors will respond differently. But for some viewers, hearing a mother denounce her daughter who reported abuse could evoke their own experiences or fears of disclosure, rejection or disbelief. Repeatedly airing the spot creates repeated opportunities for that encounter.
A frightened child could reasonably wonder: If this is what happens to a prominent doctor and political figure, what will happen to me?
The response to disclosure matters. A 2019 systematic review and meta-analysis of 51 studies, published in Clinical Psychology Review, found that negative reactions to disclosures of interpersonal violence were associated with worse mental health. That research does not measure this advertisement’s effects. But it does establish why dismissing survivors’ concerns as political oversensitivity, as Vance is doing, is medically irresponsible and morally reprehensible.
Then there is the person who has never told anyone. The Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network identifies fear of disbelief, retaliation and losing support among the barriers to reporting sexual violence. Imagine weighing those fears while watching a survivor’s estranged mother become a campaign asset, with the president’s encouragement. A frightened child could reasonably wonder: If this is what happens to a prominent doctor and political figure, what will happen to me?
That possibility should trouble every public official. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that at least 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 20 boys in the U.S. experience childhood sexual abuse. The audience for this spectacle includes people carrying experiences their spouses, colleagues or children may know nothing about.
In medicine, our responsibility is to make it safer to ask for help. We should listen without judgment, respect patients’ choices and treat their distress seriously. Needing treatment is not a character defect. Neither is having a parent who failed to protect you. Nor should survivors have to earn compassion by becoming physicians. Acton’s accomplishments do not make her more deserving of dignity than someone whose trauma interrupted an education, damaged relationships or made holding a job difficult. Recovery is not an audition for public sympathy.
The endorsement matters because it offers permission. A campaign uses a survivor’s family history against her. Powerful allies defend the tactic. Objections become evidence of weakness or disloyalty. I worry about how that example lands with people already reluctant to seek help, and with the people they might turn to.
There is an obvious alternative. Ramaswamy can withdraw the ad. Trump and Vance can say that survivors’ childhood suffering should never become campaign ammunition. They can debate Acton’s public record without elevating the rejection she experienced as a child.
Their responsibility extends to the survivor watching alone at home, wondering whether speaking up will bring support or punishment. That person deserves a better answer than the one these leaders are giving.
Every survivor watching this ad deserves a clear message: What happened to you was not your fault. Your suffering is not a character flaw. Your future does not belong to the people who failed to protect you.
Ramaswamy is spending $4 million amplifying that betrayal, and Trump and Vance are defending his right to do it. Anyone willing to make a survivor’s humiliation the price of political victory has absolutely no business anywhere near the seat of power.

I'm an Airbnb Superhost with an average rating of 4.9 stars from 90 guests.
Everyone is buzzing about the new rules that limit the chores hosts can ask guests to complete.
I support the change. Guests are paying to use a space, their last memory shouldn't be a checklist.
The internet has been buzzing about Airbnb's latest policy change over restrictions on what a host can — and cannot — ask a guest to do before they check out.
I've been renting my home in the Hudson Valley for five years, and have been a Superhost since 2023. Currently, I have 90 guest reviews with an average rating of 4.97. That's not an accident. It's something I work hard at.
Though the property management company I work with hasn't always loved it, I've never been big on requiring guests to follow a strict cleanup policy. While we did ask for dishes to be done at one time, that hasn't been part of my guest instructions since 2025. For me, the most important tasks are to turn off the lights and return the key to the lockbox before guests leave. Beyond that, I don't expect much else, though I know that hasn't been the norm for some Airbnb users.
The author said she enjoys the hosting part of having a rental property and doesn't want her guests to feel like they have to do chores.

Guests are still guests
Somehow, the B&B part of the nomenclature appears to have gotten lost. I've seen users who fear bad reviews if a place isn't meticulously cleaned, voicing their concerns on Reddit and Facebook. For me, that's not something I think someone should have to worry about when they're paying to use a space.
While there are legitimate stories of guests destroying a place or leaving it in shambles, this hasn't been my experience. I believe the majority are good guests.
There is still a cleanliness rating for hosts to fill out about guests, so I imagine that even without imposed rules, most will do the dishes anyway. Leaving a bag of trash inside the house shouldn't result in a host docking a star or two from their review. It should be part of the stay, especially since hosts can set a cleaning fee for their property upfront.
I am glad the company has intervened on behalf of the guests. They are staying at a vacation rental, not a work exchange.
Hosts like me can have little time between bookings
I understand the rationale behind hosts who have lots of rules. There is often a small window between turnovers, and hosts want to make sure they have enough time to wash and dry everything before the next guests arrive.
It's something I worry about, too. That's why I keep extra linens and dishes on hand. They're there to use just in case there isn't enough time to complete everything between the bookings.
At one point, my property manager and I disagreed over what we wanted guests to do. I felt as if he was taking it personally if someone left dirty dishes in the sink or didn't sweep up. With this rule change, we'll no longer be at odds, and I'm glad.
The author said she has been lucky to have had wonderful guests who haven't caused any major issues at her property in the Hudson Valley.

Most guests have been respectful of the space
I am fortunate. I have rarely had a guest be anything less than tidy, and I have also had hardworking cleaners who have taken linens home to wash because turnovers have been so tight.
None of my guests have complained about my rules directly to me or in the comments they've left online about my property. I intend to keep it that way.
I host because I enjoy it
Everyone has their own reasons for getting into this business. For some, it is purely fiscal, but for me, it has been personal. This is my house, and I take tremendous pride in it and the surrounding area. I vet each potential guest personally and hand-pick a welcome gift for them. I want them to have a lovely stay, leave with fond memories, and maybe even a desire to return one day.
The last thing I want a guest to do is worry about a lengthy checklist of tasks before leaving. I don't want that to be their last memory of their stay.
Soon, a mother and daughter will be staying at my property for the third year in a row. In my emails to them, I wished them a safe journey and said we would take care of the rest — and I meant it.
