‘Prison has become a loudspeaker’: Catalan independence activists are undeterred by arrests
When Jordi Cuixart was sentenced by Spain’s Supreme Court in October, his son was only three weeks old. If he serves the full term for his part in Catalonia’s independence referendum, the child will be seven when he is eventually freed.That thought would drive many fathers to despair, but Cuixart – who was granted six hours’ leave from pre-trial detention to attend the birth – is in high spirits, confident his incarceration will serve the greater good.

His Dark Materials review, episode 3: An uneventful hour of television with plenty of visual treats
The third instalment of His Dark Materials, the giga-budget BBC/HBO adaptation of Philip Pullman’s fantasy children’s novels, is a classic “builder”, which is to say, not much happens. There are some good scenes: the fistfight in Mrs Coulter’s (Ruth Wilson) lavish hallway, and the Gyptians’ western king, Jon Faa (Lucian Msamati) building them up for their mission to the north. But in general the mood is very much sleep-well-for-tomorrow-we-ride-at-dawn. The pace can only pick up.In the episode’s defence, there is quite a lot of plot to build. The manhunt for Lyra (Dafne Keen) is in full swing. At the start, she is in the Gobblers’ van, having been captured soon after escalating from Mrs Coulter’s flat. The Gyptian boys ambush the van and take her to their barges.

Johnson sets out immigration plans as Conservatives hit two-year poll high
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson set out plans on Sunday to end preferential treatment for European Union migrants, as opinion polls showed his Conservative Party has the highest level of support since 2017 ahead of next month's election. The Dec. 12 election was called to break the deadlock over Brexit, more than three years after the country voted narrowly in favour of leaving the EU in a 2016 referendum. Johnson hopes to win a majority to push through the last-minute Brexit deal he struck with the EU last month, while opposition Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has promised to renegotiate the exit agreement and then hold another referendum.

Crowds Gather to Watch Kaepernick Workout Near Atlanta
Colin Kaepernick cancelled an NFL-organized workout outside Atlanta on Saturday, November 16, and instead organized his own, citing issues with an “unusual liability waiver” demanded by the NFL and limitations on media access.According to the NFL, the workout was originally scheduled for 3 pm at the Atlanta Falcons’ training facility in Flowery Branch but, shortly before it was due to begin, was moved to a field at Charles H Drew High School in Riverdale, about 50 miles southwest of Flowery Branch.Despite the short notice, Kaepernick’s appearance in Riverdale drew dozens of local residents, footage shows.Kaepernick’s attorney Ben Meiselas and agent Jeff Nalley issued a joint statement about the change of location, saying the NFL had denied Kaepernick’s requests to allow all media to observe and film the workout, and said the NFL had rejected a “standard liability waiver from physical injury proposed” by Kaepernick’s representives.“Mr. Kaepernick simply asks for a transparent and open process which is why a new location has been selected for today,” the statement said.The NFL responded, saying it was “disappointed that Colin did not appear for his workout,” and criticizing what it claimed were late demands issued by Kaepernick and his representatives.“Today’s session was designed to give Colin what he has consistently said he wants – an opportunity to show his football readiness and desire to return to the NFL,” the statement said.“On Wednesday, we sent Colin’s representatives a standard liability waiver based on the waiver used by National Invitational Camp at all NFL Combines and by NFL clubs when trying out free agent players.”The NFL also claimed that they only learned the night before that Kaepernick wanted to bring his own video crew, and said they only heard on Saturday afternoon that he wanted the event to be open to all media. The organization said it had “been clear from the beginning that this is private workout” and had “confirmed with Colin’s representatives that they would receive both the video that would be sent to all 32 clubs as well as the raw footage from the entire event, which is unprecedented.”Kaepernick became a free agent after leaving the San Francisco 49ers in 2016, and following the controversy over his decision to kneel during the national anthem before games in 2016 in protest against police violence against black Americans.Four days before the workout, Kaepernick had tweeted that the workout had been organized, and said he had “been in shape and ready for this for three years.” Credit: Rian “Trott” Trotter via Storyful

Leaked Chinese government documents show details of Xinjiang clampdown - NYT
A trove of leaked Chinese government documents reveals details of its clampdown on Uighurs and other Muslims in the country's western Xinjiang region under President Xi Jinping, the New York Times reported on Saturday. United Nations experts and activists say at least 1 million Uighurs and members of other largely Muslim minority groups have been detained in camps in Xinjiang in a crackdown that has drawn condemnation from the United States and other countries. The documents, which the newspaper said were leaked by "a member of the Chinese political establishment," show how Xi gave a series of internal speeches to officials during and after a 2014 visit to Xinjiang following a stabbing attack by Uighur militants at a train station that killed 31 people.
