6/8 The construction of the wall began in 2021 in the Çaldıran district and moved southwards to the districts of Özalp, Saray, and Başkale. By 2026, it covered 204 km out of the 295 km border with Iran. Over 220 km of roads were built to support access to the wall and patrolling.
7/8 The wall, 3m high and 2.8m wide, is made of concrete blocks transported to the border and is topped with barbed wire. Built after other infrastructures, it takes on unusual shapes in some areas where it surrounds pre-existing surveillance pylons and observation towers.
4/8 Satellite images show the emergence of the towers between 2020 and 2024, in many locations next to existing observation towers. Pylons equipped with cameras and radars monitor movement both in the territory of Iran and the Van borderland. The system also includes seismic sensors.
Technological and physical infrastructures which aim at inhibiting and detecting movement. This map, designed by a volunteer of the BVMN Research & Investigations team, visualises the assemblage of infrastructures present at the Van border
5/8 Since 2018, interventions by the Turkish state have radically changed the landscape. Ditches, 3-metres deep and surrounded by barbed wire, appeared in the late 2010s. More were dug in parallel with the wall. At places, satellite imagery shows up to four rows of ditches.
1/8 From the late 2000s to the mid-2010s, the Turkish state built new military outposts, known as kalekol, and new observation towers equipped with surveillance technologies. The satellite images show the emergence of a kalekol in the Çaldıran district between 2010 and 2015.
Cleveland goes with Dean Wade/James Harden two man game to get Jalen Brunson in action. Earlier Brunson went show and recover, this time he switches. Harden goes right to work to get to his stepback.
We have never seen corruption like this. This conduct is so beyond the pale that Donald Trump and Todd Blanche must be removed from office immediately.
tRump’s bullshit tax agreement doesn’t hold water. It can be and will be undone. The next administration will audit them to hell and back, hopefully jailing him (if he’s still alive) as well as his whole family. We’ve got to fight like hell to bring them to justice! #ProudBlue #tRumpSlushFund

Even after freedom of movement ended, Gibraltarians still commute to Spain, and Spanish workers still cross into Gibraltar for their jobs. Brexit doesn’t magically create local jobs or workers to replace them. Brexit ended free movement, but didn’t end the need for people to work.

Vandaag zit het kabinet-Jetten 100 dagen in het zadel. Het vertrouwen in het kabinet is gezakt naar 22 procent. Dat is lager dan het vertrouwen in het kabinet-Schoof rond dezelfde periode, blijkt uit een peiling van RTL Nieuws. Hoe verklaart politiek verslaggever Irene de Kruif deze cijfers?
