In the headlines, the speech delivered by the Ukrainian president before the UN on Tuesday, April 5, in which he urged the international community to act "immediately" against Russia.

The Independent

daily 

reports that Volodymyr Zelensky has accused Russia of "war crimes" and called for its exclusion from the Security Council, as well as the establishment of a body "equivalent (to the) Nuremberg tribunal" to try the responsible for these crimes.

El Mundo

reports that, a few hours earlier, the Ukrainian president had intervened before the Spanish Parliament, where he had compared the massacre of Ukrainians to that of Guernica, this city in the Spanish Basque Country bombarded in 1937 by German and Italian planes, calling to a profound reform of the UN, so that "the right to veto does not mean the right to die".

This call is also relayed by the French press.

The daily 

Liberation

quotes Volodymyr Zelensky on the front page: "The UN authorizes Russia to sow death".

With the photo of a corpse found in Motyzhin, west of kyiv, where the bodies of the village mayor were found, that of her husband, their son and two other men.

A reality denied yesterday by the Russian representative to the UN, in line, of course, with the Kremlin's speech.

According to

Libé

, he insists that "everything is a lie, nothing is truth, facts do not exist, images lie, satellites are wrong, and bodies move".

On the front page of Liberation this Wednesday:

For

L'Obs

, "if there is a great absence from the war in Ukraine, it is the one whose mission is the preservation of peace, the UN" which "does not deserve to survive in its current form", denounces the magazine.

He asks for "the disappearance of the right of veto (of the permanent members of the Security Council) which paralyzes, once again, the organization".

The war in Ukraine rekindles among Bosnians the traumas of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina, 30 years after the beginning of the siege of Sarajevo, on April 6, 1992. The special envoy of

La Croix

, who went to Sarajevo, Mostar , and Banja Luka, recounts how the war in Ukraine "raised fear and infinite sadness" throughout the country.

Former diplomat Igor Davidovic expresses a feeling of concern and weariness.

"There is a lot of fear of what could happen here. But fear, he warns, is the main lever used by the nationalists".

"The international community is tired of us. The three nationalist parties (Serbian, Bosnian and Croatian) open conflicts to stir up tension and win the elections they are manipulating. Yet we are ready for a life together much more than what advocates the political elite," he said.

Russia, recalls

La Croix

, is particularly active in Republika Srpska, where it supports the leader Milorad Dodik and his secessionist ambitions.

A partnership was even sealed with the Russian police in 2016 and two years later, in 2018, already, specialists alerted to the fact that Vladimir Putin was working to form a paramilitary force in the country.

Also in the headlines this morning, the disappearance of the Algerian daily

Liberté

, whose main shareholder has announced its intention to organize a general meeting today, to record a bankruptcy filing and the dissolution of the title.

"Born from the painful events of October 88, (when spontaneous demonstrations against the authorities had broken out all over the country), having grown up in the blood of Islamist terror, the free press, a democratic achievement dearly paid for, is threatened with extinction. The announced closure of

Liberté

signs the failure of an era", regrets the daily, whose editorial serves as an epitaph. "Sixty years after its independence, the country for which the best of its children died must definitively break with its demons.

It must leave room, all the room, for life, for the future which cannot be written without freedom, without

Liberty

".

"Bad weather for the French-speaking press in Algeria": the 

Slate

site recalls that twenty-six titles, nearly half of which were in French, ceased to appear between 2014 and 2017 - a phenomenon attributed to a political order "more more repressive", to an economic model "that has become obsolete", to "the unbridled gluttony of certain publishers", but also to the decline of the French language in Algeria.

How many independent French-language dailies will there be tomorrow in the country?

To see, to finish, with the drawing of Dilem, for Freedom, and his usual black humor.

"Soon the return of the single press" in the kiosks: "The newspaper, and a lighter, please", asks a customer.

A drawing published, as always, by

A big thought for our colleagues from the independent daily Liberté Algérie who are signing their last front page this Wednesday after 30 years of publication.

Huge loss.

To those that this cheerful news would make you want to take to the sea, to go very far, I recommend to throw an eyelash at

USA Today

, which reports several rather unusual job offers.

It is really very far, since the positions to be filled are in Antarctica, in Port Lockroy, on Goudier Island, in the Palmer Archipelago, which is located at the very west of the peninsula.

Among the offers offered, there is the management of a post office and a gift shop, but also the counting of penguins and other wild critters.

As for working conditions, it is said to be "basic but comfortable", electricity is limited and there is no running water or internet access, which means "very minimal communication" with the outside world.

If you are interested, you have until April 25 to apply.
