RTP Notícias10 September 2026 at 16:10

Amnistia Internacional accused Russia of violating Human Rights through the recruitment of foreigners to fight in Ukraine. The human rights defense organization considers that this recruitment involves deceptive, coercive and exploitative practices.

Amnistia classifies these practices as human trafficking, pointing out that people from third countries are being lured with false promises to join the armed conflict.

The international organization highlights that the methods used by Russia violate international human rights norms, exploiting the vulnerability of foreign recruits.

This report comes in the context of the war in Ukraine, where Russia has resorted to foreign military forces to reinforce its capabilities on the battlefield.

Where were you on September 11? The afternoon when the world stopped

On September 11, 2001, when a plane struck the North Tower of the World Trade Center at 1:46 PM in Portugal, the initial reports spoke of an accident. Seventeen minutes later, a second plane hit the South Tower live on air, and the entire country stopped to watch what would become one of the greatest attacks in history. The piece describes how the Portuguese experienced that afternoon, from the cafés that fell silent to parents who picked up their children from school with a feeling that something had changed. Twenty-five years later, the article remembers the nearly three thousand victims, the global consequences that followed — from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq to the transformation of airport security — and the recent release of more than 170,000 pages of documents about air quality at Ground Zero, highlighting that there are events that cease to belong to one country alone and become the memory of an entire generation.

A remarkable week for the future of Space

A historic week redefined the European space policy landscape with three interconnected events: the first successful orbital launch of a private European rocket, the Spectrum from German Isar Aerospace, from Norway; the announcement by SpaceX of a $100 billion investment in Starbase Louisiana, with a target of more than 30 daily launches by 2030; and Ursula von der Leyen's speech at the Paris Space Summit, where she outlined the European vision for autonomy in space access. The absence of American companies from the event, under pressure from Washington, highlighted geopolitical tensions in the sector. The article concludes that Europe has the capacity to compete, but now needs to decide whether to move forward with industrial scale or stay watching the global space race.

What if God's answer is not what you expected?

This opinion article from the Diocese of Funchal reflects on the nature of faith and prayer, questioning the human tendency to expect God to answer exactly as requested. The text argues that true faith is demonstrated when we continue to trust in God even when His answers differ from our expectations, whether through a "no," a different "yes," or silence. Drawing on Saint Paul's message in Romans 8:28, the article reminds readers that God can bring good even from what seems like defeat or loss, inviting the reader to maintain trust even without fully understanding the divine plan.
