Jens Stoltenberg, the 13th secretary general of Nato, revealed there were live discussions among members about removing missiles from storage and putting them on standby to act as a deterrent. Speaking to The Telegraph, Mr Stoltenberg said: 'I won't go into operational details about how many nuclear warheads should be operational and which should be stored, but we need to consult on these issues. That's exactly what we're doing.' It comes as the head of Kyiv's national security council said Putin could demand a tactical nuclear weapon be used if Russia's army is beaten in Ukraine. Oleksandr Lytvynenko made the comments after G7 leaders warned any use by Russia of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons would be met with 'severe consequences', The Times reported.

'Nato's aim is, of course, a world without nuclear weapons, but as long as nuclear weapons exist, we will remain a nuclear alliance, because a world where Russia, China and North Korea have nuclear weapons, and Nato does not, is a more dangerous world,' he said. Mr Stoltenberg claimed that China is heavily investing in modern weaponry, which includes its nuclear arsenal, which the secretary general said would increase to 1,000 possibly by 2030. He insisted the US and its European allies are modernising their nuclear deterrent as a result of heightened threat from Russia. 'The US is modernising their gravity bombs for the nuclear warheads they have in Europe and European allies are modernising the planes which are going to be dedicated to Nato's nuclear mission,' he said. It comes as Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky yesterday accused Russia of not wanting peace, after Putin said he would only accept a ceasefire if Ukraine agreed to halt its NATO ascension plans. Zelensky made the accusation at the end of a major diplomatic summit in Switzerland, which more than 90 countries attended, making it the largest gathering in support of Ukraine since the start of the invasion. The conference saw the vast majority of the 90 nations who attended sign a communique in support of Ukraine sovereignty, and also called for Putin to return children stolen during the invasion.","['URW: Amplifying war-related fears', 'URW: Overpraising the West']","['URW: Amplifying war-related fears: There is a real possibility that nuclear weapons will be employed', 'URW: Overpraising the West: The West has the strongest international support']",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
+EN_UA_010735.txt,"Russia's Infrastructure Attacks Could Impact Ukraine's Neighbors: Official Russia's latest attacks on Ukraine's infrastructure could impact the Eastern European nation's neighbors, a key Ukrainian energy official said on Tuesday. Nearly nine months after Russia invaded Ukraine, Moscow has continued to ramp up its attacks against Ukrainian infrastructure in recent weeks, targeting cities across Ukraine including the capital city of Kyiv. Despite the vast size of the Russian military, its troops have struggled to achieve substantial gains in Ukraine. Meanwhile, throughout the fall, Kyiv has retaken control of formerly occupied territories, most recently recapturing control of Kherson, a major city in the nation's southern region. Concerns about attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure have grown as winter approaches, and these attacks threaten to leave millions of Ukrainians without power throughout the winter, which could see dangerously low temperatures. On Tuesday, Russia hit Ukraine with its latest attack on its infrastructure, which Ukraine's Energy Minister German Galushchenko described as the ""most massive shelling"" since the war began on February 24, 2022. ""Today again Russia strikes large-scale missile strikes on energy facilities. This is the most massive shelling of the energy system since the beginning of the war,"" he wrote in a Facebook post. ""This attack can have an impact not only on the energy system of Ukraine, but also on the energy systems of some of our neighbors."" Galushchenko said the attack hit Ukraine's generators and electricity transmission system, describing the attack as ""another attempt of terrorist revenge"" in which Russia tried to ""inflict maximum damage on our energy system on the eve of winter."" One Ukrainian neighbor reported outages due to the attack. Moldovan Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development Andrei Spnu wrote in a Telegram post that the Russian attacks led to power outages across the country. The lines did not suffer damage due to the attack but were disconnected due to a safety measure. ""As a result of Russia's bombing of the Ukrainian energy system in the last hour, one of the power lines that provide electricity transport for our country was disconnected in automatic mode (automatic load shedding according to frequency). This has led to massive power outages across the country,"" he wrote. Moldovan authorities restored power for most of its residents later Tuesday, but Spnu warned that Russian attacks against Ukraine could lead to further outages. ""Russian aggression against Ukraine directly affects our country as well. The risks of power outages remain high. Any bombing by Russia against Ukrainian power plants may lead to a repeat of today's situation,"" he wrote. Newsweek reached out to the Ukrainian Ministry of Energy for comment.

+EN_CC_100038.txt,"The Feds Climate Studies Are Full Of Hot Air The Federal Reserves credibility is in tatters. It predicted low inflation through 2021 even as the money supply exploded and higher inflation followed. To catch up, it quickly raised interest rates, stressing many banks, and Fed examiners failed to act before depositors noticed that Silicon Valley Bank was insolvent. The result was bank runs and panic. But instead of lowering inflation and preventing recession, many of the Feds 400 economists are busy fighting climate change. [emphasis, links added] Examples of climate activism abound. This year the Fed is forcing big banks to produce complex reports on their climate vulnerability in a pilot project that is sure to expand and might lead to lending restrictions. A query of the Feds listing of recent publications returns hundreds of research papers, press releases, and policy statements related to climate change. The San Francisco Fed hosted a conference on climate change in May, in which 27 Fed economists participated. With all this effort, one might hope the Fed would produce high-quality research on climate change. But I took a close look at two Fed studies on the subject and found shockingly poor analysis. These studies on the effect of temperature on U.S. and world economic growth are cited without a hint of skepticism and widely lavished with media attention. Ive managed to debunk both. In the September issue of Econ Journal Watch, I discredited a paper from the Richmond Fed claiming that warming reduces economic growth in the U.S. I showed that the paper had serious problems with its statistical reasoning and robustness. My analysis concluded that the data used in the paper showed no meaningful relationship between temperatures and growth. More recently I published a critique of a study from the Federal Reserve Board claiming that a year of above-normal temperatures in countries around the world makes economic contraction more likely. The original study used sophisticated statistical techniques but failed to report that its primary finding was statistically insignificant. My request to the studys author for computer code to reproduce the papers results went unanswered. I managed to write the code from scratch and exactly replicate the results, allowing me to run additional tests that the author didnt report. The authors primary resultthat temperature has a bigger effect in bad than in good economic timesturned out to be statistically insignificant. Additional analysis showed that there is no reliable effect of temperature on growth at all. There are two main reasons why the Fed study appeared at first to show a statistically significant effect of temperatures on economic growth. First, each country in the sample had equal weight in the analysis. China had the same weight as St. Vincent though Chinas population is 13,000 times as large. Equal weighting means that some small countries with unusual histories of economic growth greatly influenced the results. The papers results disappeared when countries like Rwanda and Equatorial Guineawhich had economic catastrophes and bonanzas unrelated to climate changewere omitted. Omitting similar countries representing less than 1% of the worlds gross domestic product was enough to eliminate the papers result. The complicated statistical techniques used in the Fed study magnified the influence of these unusual countries. Theres a second reason why the Fed study appears to find that temperature affects growth: Many poor countries have warm climates. A warm climate doesnt preclude economic growth, as is demonstrated by Florida, Arizona, Taiwan, Singapore, and several Persian Gulf states. But the average poor country is warmer than the average rich country. Debate continues as to whether this correlation is random or causal, but the hypothesis of the Fed paper is that year-to-year increases in temperature reduce annual economic growth. The paper claims that its method controls for long-term differences in climate, but using simulated data I found that the Fed papers method can be fooled into finding an effect that doesnt exist. The only thing to learn from the Feds research is that climate propaganda is spreading fast, and when it comes to climate, academic economists are no more deserving of trust than are other supposed scientists and experts. The Feds time would be better spent on more urgent matters, like improving its botched regulation of the banking system. h/t Steve B.

Dont worry, sleep well, he said, adding that there are risky scenarios. Theyre possible and probable in the future, though at this time such a threat doesnt exist. On Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky also told the nation that the situation is under control, while Reznikov affirmed Russia had not formed what he called battle groups, which would have indicated that tomorrow they could launch an offensive. Reznikovs and Zelenskys statement in a bid to project calm in order not to destabilize the situation and avoid panic comes as another multi-million dollar shipment of U.S. military equipment arrived in Ukraine on Tuesday. Our partners are increasing the amount of military assistance. And today we are meeting the third aircraft from the United States government as part of this assistance, the defense minister said at a press briefing before the aircraft loaded with defensive aid totaling about $200 million landed at an airport in the capital of Ukraine. Moscow has repeatedly denied intentions to invade Ukraine, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying the West is showing hysteria and is putting out information laced with lies. Peskov on Tuesday again accused the U.S. of fomenting tensions around Ukraine, a former Soviet state that has been locked in a conflict with Russia for almost eight years. Western concern over Moscow planning an invasion of its neighbor started after tens of thousands of Russian troops massed near the RussiaUkraine border.

The export comprised panels worth $42.4 billion, silicon wafers of value $5.1 billion, and batteries amounting to $3.8 billion. Among the main PV products, the polysilicon production of China jumped 63 per cent to 827,000 tons last year, according to Wang. Wang added that the cell production increased 61 per cent to 318 GW, while panel and wafer production increased by 59 per cent and 58 per cent to 288.7 GW and 357 GW, respectively. In a recent development, US imports of solar panels have begun to pick up after months of gridlock stemming from the implementation of a new law that bans goods produced with forced labour, as told by two Chinese solar companies to Reuters. A White House official attributed the thaw in shipments to clearer rules for complying with the Uyghur Forced Labor Protection Act (UFLPA). The gains come as a relief to major Chinese suppliers like Trina Solar and Jinko Solar. These suppliers are now finally getting products into the lucrative market of United States after long delays.

Professor Scheherazade Rehman, director of the European Union Research Center (EURC), warned that the healthcare sector has been ""exacerbated"" by the Covid-19 pandemic. Rehman said financial institutions have upgraded their cyber defenses over the past decade - unlike healthcare. She told The Sun: ""We don't have anything that the banks are doing in healthcare settings from hospitals to healthcare delivery centers. ""If your card has been hacked, the bank can lock it down and switch the number. But you cannot change your blood type, you cant change if youve had cancer, you cant change your date of birth or your DNA. Healthcare information once hacked is not reversible. Simply changing someones birthday is enough to disrupt the entire US online health system and fixing it would be very, very difficult. The expert said that a potential cyberattack on institutions would be more crippling than a terrorist attack. She added: 9/11 was a shock event. It was traumatic as we had never seen anything like it before. Most read in Tech But, the real disruption to people, companies, and systems of governance is going to be a cyberattack. In June 2017, the Health Care Industry Cybersecurity Task Force warned in a report that healthcare cybersecurity is in a critical condition. The dossier stated: Healthcare cybersecurity is a key public health concern that needs immediate and aggressive attention. Researchers at the computer hardware company IBM say that healthcare firms on average take around 236 days to detect a data breach, and 93 days to mitigate the damage. This compares to the average of 207 days to identify and 73 days to contain a cyberattack. 'EASY TARGETS' And, US hospitals have around 10-15 networked medical devices per bed on average, meaning officials are working to secure machinery thats easy to breach, according to Wired. Analysts at the Brookings Institute believe the fate of healthcare security depends on whether investments in cybersecurity are made. They said: Just as a responsible healthcare professional seeks to identify and treat patients underlying chronic conditions before they cause a serious medical emergency, so too must responsible healthcare organizations address vulnerabilities in their digital infrastructure to prevent cyberattacks."" Fears of a potential cyberattack on US institutions are rising amid the crisis in Ukraine. Department of Homeland Security officials warned that the US is on heightened alert for a potential cyberattack from Moscow. Rehman believes an attack on the US is ""highly likely"" should the crisis in Eastern Europe escalate. Pentagon officials warned Friday that a Russian invasion of Ukraine would result in a ""horrific"" aftermath. Moscow has amassed around 100,000 troops at the Ukrainian border - something which Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said he hadn't seen in the past four decades. Rehman said: A US response would probably set off what we believe will be the worlds first large-scale cyberwar. US IN 'WARFARE STATE' The Russians have been doing cyber-espionage and pre-positioning operations meaning theyre setting up vulnerabilities in our infrastructure which means when theyre ready, they can release. It might not necessarily be tomorrow. R.P. Eddy, CEO of the cybersecurity firm Ergo, warned that the US is already in a warfare state with Moscow, Fox News reports.

The German president and the US ambassador to Mexico have been among the diplomatic allies that have sought to persuade the Mexican government to side with Ukraine against Russia. Attempts to sway public opinion in Mexico over the war in Ukraine have led to some notable spats in Congress. Last year, the Russian ambassador to Mexico told Mexican lawmakers that Mexico would never take orders from Uncle Sam, prompting the US ambassador to urge Mexico to support Ukraine. Lopez Obrador last year proposed a plan to halt the fighting in Ukraine, although Ukrainian officials opposed it, arguing it would be advantageous to Russia. Mexican Foreign Minister Marcelo Ebrard met separately with his Russian and Ukrainian counterparts to discuss the peace plan at the UN General Assembly in September. Nothing has come of the plan so far. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov is currently on a Latin American tour, visiting Brazil, Venezuela, Nicaragua and Cuba.

+EN_UA_010091.txt,"European leader calls on world, China to pressure Russia NUSA DUA The European Council president urged global powers Tuesday to intensify pressure on Russia over its war against Ukraine, including Moscow's biggest supporter, China, saying that this week's meeting of the world's largest economies was crucial to stopping Moscow's push ""to use food and energy as weapons. Charles Michel, speaking to reporters on the first day of the Group of 20 meeting in Bali, said the nine-month war waged by Russia, a permanent member of the U.N. Security Council, has disrupted lives across the world, as food and energy prices surge and economies stagnate. Recommended Videos Russias war impacts us all, no matter where we live, from Europe to Africa or the Middle East, and the single best way to end the acute crisis in food and energy is for Russia to end this senseless war and to respect the U.N. charter, Michel said. The Kremlin has decided to weaponize food, driving up hunger, poverty and instability. Europe, Michel said, is working to help Ukraine, a big food exporter before the war, increase its shipments, and is also trying to address disruptions in fertilizer supplies and rising prices. EU sanctions against Russia, he said, dont target agricultural products, even though Russia has imposed restrictions on its own food and fertilizer products. This is not a battle (of) Russia against the Western part of the world. Its a battle for the U.N. charter. Its a battle for the international law. It's a battle for the idea that this is not acceptable to try to change by force internationally recognized borders. Michel said he had no plans to meet with the most senior Russian present in Bali, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. China, the world's second biggest economy, has largely refrained from public criticism of Russias war, although Beijing has avoided direct support of the Russians, such as supplying arms. Michel avoided direct criticism of China when asked if Beijing has shown any signs of changing its steadfast support of Russia in recent days. Instead, he said that the G-20 meeting Tuesday and Wednesday was important to convince all nations present to put more pressure on Russia."" After a meeting Monday between President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping, Biden said the two leaders discussed Russias aggression against Ukraine and reaffirmed our shared belief that the use or even the threat of nuclear weapons is totally unacceptable a reference to Moscows thinly veiled threats to use atomic weapons as its invasion of Ukraine has faltered. Michel said that Europe must make sure that it creates a different economic and political relationship with China than the one it did with Russia. We don't want to make the same mistakes maybe we make with Russia on fossil fuels, which Europe was very dependent on, with China, (where) we don't want to be too dependent for the innovative technology that we need today and that we need more in the future. That's why it's important to rebalance the relationship, Michel said.",['URW: Overpraising the West'],['URW: Overpraising the West: The West belongs in the right side of history'],0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

The emergency meeting was announced by cabinet spokesman Piotr Muller on Twitter on Tuesday afternoon. Muller did not reveal what the committee was due to discuss and did not offer further comment to Reuters news agency. The committee talks, which will include senior members of Polands government and its intelligence services, come following unverified reports that stray Russian missiles intended for Ukraine have hit a Polish village, killing two civilians. According to Radio ZET, a Polish commercial radio station, two stray rockets fell in the village of Przewodw in the Lublin province near the border with Ukraine. Russian authorities have denied that the missiles that struck Poland came from Russia. The station further reported that two people had died at the scene. The Polish military, the police, and the prosecutors office have been called to the scene. Military planes are also understood to have been scrambled. Polish authorities are yet to confirm media reports that Russian missiles were responsible for the explosion but they were substantiated by a senior U.S. intelligence official to the Associated Press news agency on Tuesday evening. The causes of this incident are not known at the moment, said Marcin Lebiedowicz, a spokesman for the Poviat Fire Brigade in Hrubieszw We received a report of an explosion in the drying yard. In fact, upon arrival, we confirm that something like this happened. Two people died on the spot. At the moment, we are securing the scene and lighting the area of the action, he added. Kurier Lubelski, a regional Polish news outlet from the affected area has attempted numerous times on Tuesday to verify the details with state officials to no avail. At 7 p.m. local time, the outlet was told by the local mayors office: I cant say anything about it. However, there is definitely no need to arouse anxiety. Lets wait for the exact findings of the services. At 7.30 .p.m. local time, the news outlet attempted to speak again with Marcin Lebiedowicz for further information on the incident. Im not allowed to give any information at the moment. I suggest contacting other services, he replied. The local police departments spokesperson has not been available for comment to local media, but Voivode of Lublin Lech Sprawka confirmed he was on his way to the accident site. Czech Prime Minister Petr Fiala stated that If Poland confirms that the missiles also hit its territory, this will be a further escalation by Russia. We stand firmly behind our EU and NATO ally. Latvias Deputy Prime Minister Artis Pabriks stated that the criminal Russian regime had hit Poland with missiles, although it is unclear what evidence he has to back his statement at this time. Lithuanian President Gitanas Nausda said every inch of NATO territory must be defended. Hungarian government spokesperson, Zolan Kovacs, also confirmed via Twitter that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbn had convened an emergency meeting of Hungarys Defense Council for Tuesday evening in response to missiles hitting the territory of Poland. A U.K. Foreign Office spokesman told Sky News: We are investigating these reports and liaising closely with allies. Russian military launched a strong aerial assault on Ukraine on Tuesday, targeting key cities including Lviv, just 80 kilometers from the Polish border.

The annual get-together, which starts on Wednesday, comes as conflict rages in the Middle East and Ukraine and as tensions ratchet up in disputed waters in the South China Sea, where China is being accused of aggression against the Philippines, which has US backing and seeks to boost its military ties with Japan. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) chair Indonesia has yet to confirm attendees, but among them is US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, who will meet ASEAN counterparts on Wednesday. The talks will expand on Thursday to include Russia, China, Japan, South Korea, India, New Zealand and Australia. ASEAN, a region of about 660 million people with a combined gross domestic product of more than $3.2 trillion, has for years been courted by Washington and Beijing, but their fierce rivalry has caused its members concern. ""Competition is good. But competition should not deteriorate into a zero-sum game,"" Defence Minister and presidential candidate Prabowo Subianto told a foreign policy forum this week, where he stressed the importance of non-alignment. Relations between China and the United States have been frosty after President Joe Biden ordered the shooting down in February of a suspected Chinese spy balloon. It was unclear who will represent China at the Jakarta meeting after the removal of its defence minister in October, raising questions about the stability of the leadership around President Xi Jinping. Austin comes to Indonesia from South Korea, where he reiterated concerns about Russia and China helping North Korea to evade sanctions and Moscow's closer military ties with Pyongyang. Washington has accused North Korea of supplying military equipment to Russia for use in its war with Ukraine, and Moscow of providing technical military support to help the North. Aaron Connelly, senior fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies in Singapore, said conflict in Gaza and Ukraine and China's moves to block Philippine resupply missions at a disputed reef will most likely feature at the meeting. ""This forum is not one where major geopolitical developments are really addressed or moved forward in any significant way.

+EN_CC_200022.txt,"Denmark to Punish Farmers for Cow Emissions to Fight Global Warming by Frank Bergman, Slay News: The Danish government has introduced radical new laws that will tax livestock farmers for emissions from cows, pigs, and sheep to supposedly fight global warming. Demark has become the first country in the world to introduce a carbon tax that seeks to force farmers to comply with the goals of the World Economic Forums (WEF) Net Zero agenda. The Scandinavian nation will tax farmers for the so-called greenhouse gases allegedly emitted by their livestock from 2030. Denmarks globalist leaders claim they are targeting a major source of methane emissions, which they allege is one of the most potent gases contributing to global warming. In order to comply with the WEFs Net Zero targets, Taxation Minister Jeppe Bruus said the aim is to reduce Danish greenhouse gas emissions by 70% from 1990 levels by 2030. As of 2030, Danish livestock farmers will be taxed $43 per ton of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2030. The tax will increase to $108 by 2035. However, because of an income tax deduction of 60%, the actual cost per ton will start at $17.3 and increase to $28 by 2035. Although carbon dioxide is typically blamed for causing climate change, globalists claim that methane traps about 87 times more heat on a 20-year timescale. However, as Slay News has previously reported, top scientists have debunked these claims as a hoax. A recent peer-reviewed study provided conclusive scientific evidence proving that carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in Earths atmosphere cannot cause global warming. Dr. Jan Kubicki led a group of world-renowned Polish scientists to study the impact of increases in CO2 emissions on the Earths global temperatures. However, not only did they find that higher levels of CO2 made no difference, but they also proved that it simply isnt possible for increases in carbon dioxide to cause temperatures to rise. Kubicki and his team recently published three papers which all conclude that Earths atmosphere is already saturated with carbon dioxide. This saturation means that, even at greatly increased levels of CO2, the greenhouse gas will not cause temperatures to rise. Nevertheless, unelected globalists at the United Nations Environment Program claim that livestock accounts for about 32% of human-caused methane emissions. We will take a big step closer in becoming climate neutral in 2045, Bruus said.","['CC: Criticism of institutions and authorities', 'CC: Criticism of climate policies', 'CC: Questioning the measurements and science', 'CC: Questioning the measurements and science', 'CC: Criticism of institutions and authorities']","['CC: Criticism of institutions and authorities: Criticism of national governments', 'CC: Criticism of climate policies: Other', 'CC: Questioning the measurements and science: Methodologies/metrics used are unreliable/faulty', 'CC: Questioning the measurements and science: Greenhouse effect/carbon dioxide do not drive climate change', 'CC: Criticism of institutions and authorities: Criticism of international entities']",0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
+EN_UA_026142.txt,"Oppose imperialist War! SEP/IYSSE public meeting in Sri Lanka The Socialist Equality Party (SEP) and the International Youth and Students for Social Equality (IYSSE) in Sri Lanka are holding an online meeting entitled Oppose imperialist war! on Thursday, May 23, at 7pm. In announcing the recent International May Day Rally, David North, chairman of the International Editorial Board of the World Socialist Web Site, warned, A third world war is not a distant possibility. The opening stages of this war are already underway. Israels genocide in Gaza against Palestinians and its US-backed attacks against Iran are just one front in a rapidly emerging world war involving nuclear armed powers. US imperialism and its allies are already engaged in a war against Russia in Ukraine and are making advanced preparations for a catastrophic conflict with China. The imperialist leaders as well as various media pundits now casually refer to a nuclear war as an acceptable strategic option, despite the grave threat it poses to the existence of humanity. The Biden administration, along with other NATO powers, have repeatedly crossed the red lines in Ukraine which they previously accepted as necessary to prevent nuclear war. One might consider that the imperialist leadersBiden, Sunak, Macron and Scholzare criminally insane as they drag the planet towards nuclear conflagration. However, their policies are not simply the product of deranged individuals but of the profound crisis of world capitalism for which they have no rational, progressive solution and see a global war for domination as the only way out. War is being accompanied by savage repression against any opposition as the terrible, continued persecution of Julian Assange for exposing the crimes of US imperialism graphically demonstrates. Our comrade Bogdan Syrotiuk of the Young Guard of Bolshevik Leninists has been detained by the fascistic Zelensky government in Ukraine earlier this month on false accusations of being a Russian agent. Bogdan has courageously opposed the war in Ukraine, along with his comrades in Russia, denounced both the Ukrainian and Russian regimes and fought for the unity of the Ukrainian and Russian working class. In the US and other imperialist countries, brutal police crackdowns are taking place against protesters opposing the Gaza genocide with thousands of arrests including of students. The ongoing anti-war protests in universities and cities are significant, but on their own are incapable of halting the bloodbath. For seven months, the Zionist regime and its imperialist backers have not only ignored protests by millions around the world, but they are also turning to police repression. The only social force capable of halting the drive to world war is the international working class which is coming into struggle in Sri Lanka and around the world in opposition to the austerity program of the ruling classes. As governments engage in, support and prepare for war, it is workers who are forced to bear the burden. A struggle against war requires the building of a unified anti-war movement of the working class based on a socialist program, exposing the futility of protest politics and all the apologists for imperialism. Appeals to capitalist governments are bankrupt. The independent mobilisation of workers on this basis needs to take up the fight to free Assange and Syrotiuk as well. The burning need is for a new revolutionary leadership in the working class based on socialist internationalism to abolish the source of militarism, austerity, authoritarianism and all sorts of social miserythe capitalist system.

+EN_UA_025652.txt,"Russia says there is no basis for arms control, strategic stability dialogue with US Russia on Monday said that there is currently no basis to hold an arms control and strategic stability dialogue with the US amid the ongoing war between Moscow and Kyiv. There is no basis whatsoever for an arms control and strategic stability dialogue with the United States in the face of a total hybrid war being waged against our country It will be possible to discuss these topics only after the US authorities renounce their openly hostile anti-Russian policy, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in a video address to the Moscow Nonproliferation Conference. Lavrov expressed that efforts to reduce the potential of a conflict between Russia and the US should be comprehensive in nature and based on removing NATOs eastward expansion. He further said the West is balancing on the dangerous edge of a direct military confrontation between nuclear powers, indicating that Moscow is especially concerned that the three nuclear powers in the West are among Ukraines main supporters. The US-led collective West is cynically complementing the deliberate destruction of balanced and equal agreements that do not suit Washington with the promotion of apparently dishonest schemes that would create advantages for the United States, Lavrov also said. He argued that the Wests goal is to create a unilateral military advantage for themselves by setting new limits for nuclear arsenals while formalizing the aggregate Western superiority in the sphere of non-nuclear capabilities, adding that the US and its allies are enlarging their network of alliances directed against third countries to achieve military superiority. Lavrov went on to say that Russias move to revoke the ratification of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty last year was a logical response to the destructive moves by the US and other Western countries. That said, we remain a full-fledged party to the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty. Not so long ago, we completed the formation of our segment of the International Monitoring System. We are ready to return to the issue of its ratification as soon as the US does this, he said. The Russian foreign minister also accused the Western countries of tailoring the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons to their interests. We are convinced that to prevent further degradation of the world situation, maintain durable stability and create realistic disarmament, all countries should pool their efforts to upgrade the international security system relying on the principles of multilateralism, equality and indivisibility. This is the only way of reducing interstate conflicts and ensuring real progress in arms control, he said.","['URW: Discrediting the West, Diplomacy', 'URW: Russia is the Victim', 'URW: Blaming the war on others rather than the invader', 'URW: Amplifying war-related fears', 'URW: Discrediting Ukraine']","['URW: Discrediting the West, Diplomacy: Diplomacy does/will not work', 'URW: Russia is the Victim: The West is russophobic', 'URW: Blaming the war on others rather than the invader: The West are the aggressors', 'URW: Amplifying war-related fears: There is a real possibility that nuclear weapons will be employed', 'URW: Discrediting Ukraine: Ukraine is a puppet of the West']",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0

+EN_CC_100042.txt,"Protest-Driven Change Safeguarding the interests of the wheat growers, PM Shehbaz Sharifs decision to increase the wheat procurement target demonstrates a positive shift in government policy and reactiveness. In a powerful example of peaceful and legitimate protest, the farmers protest was successful in influencing the policies of the state. The complaints of delays in wheat procurement and the exploitation by flour mills that were offering rates lower than the government-mandated price have been heard and addressed by the state. The governments decision not only addresses the grievances of the farmers but also reflects its willingness to listen to the concerns of the citizens and adjust government strategies in a timely manner something we have been governmentally lacking for quite some time now. The PM directed the Pakistan Agricultural Storage and Services Corporation Limited to ensure the swift buying of wheat from these farmers. This is the epitome of how citizens can hold the government accountable, reforming the governance policies and driving a positive change in society. However, the issue of wheat prices is still an issue one that may not exactly be in the hands of the state. Support prices set by the provincial governments vary, as can be seen in the case of Balochistan and Sindh. Their respective prices are not adjusted to the recent inflation and have been carried on from last years wheat prices. This is further aggravating the concerns of the farmers who are facing a higher cost of production owing to the higher energy and fertilizer costs. Not only does this make it challenging for the farmers to receive fair compensation for their produce, but it also does not take into account the impact of global warming that has further worsened their troubles. Heavier showers this year have adversely affected the harvesting season and crop yields for these farmers, and this needs to be accounted for. The governments efforts to address their concerns are a good step, but we need to extend more support to them in these difficult times. If we want to be more proactive in our governance, then considering the long-term implications of climate change on our agriculture will be wise moving forward. Unpredictable weather patterns and extreme precipitation disproportionately affect our farmers, jeopardizing their sole source of income. As such, the state must stand by vulnerable farming communities and formulate policies to mitigate the impact, ensuring sustainable agricultural development in the nation.",['Other'],['Other'],0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

The first batch of students are already on their way to the airport for departure, while the second and third batches would depart on November 15 and November 17 respectively. Represented by the Director of Universities Education in the ministry, Rakiya Ilyasu, Mamman advised the scholars not to see the opportunity as uncontrolled freedom to do things that would be to their disgrace. He explained that the country had invested a lot in them and as such required the returns of investment on their return to the country. Note that you are few out of thousands who secured this opportunity which you must not take for granted. Your parents and teachers would also be happy with your succor. Your selection is part of a broader plan which ensures that brilliant Nigerians, especially those that cannot afford to study programmes that are not readily available in Nigeria, are supported to get necessary knowledge, skills and competence that would be useful in Nigerias development agenda. I am happy to inform you that in spite of the global economic meltdown, the number of our development partners have increased and many of them now offer scholarship to Nigeria. As you prepare to travel out, ensure to uphold and eschew good values, focus on your studies and be a good ambassador of your country, he said. The Minister also charged the scholars to always strive to abide by the laws of their host country and as well remember to be their brothers keeper in their new environment. Most importantly, you need to make your presence known to the Nigerian Embassy in Moscow. This is very necessary based on our experiences from Ukraine. Your parents are also spending a lot of resources on you. Note that we all expert you return to our dear country at the end of your studies to assist Nigeria to become a better place by contributing your quota to its development, using your new knowledge and skills, he added. Also speaking, the Director, Federal Scholarship Board, Asta Ndajiwo said the journey began in November 2022 with applications from thousands of Nigerians which later translated to the nomination of the candidates. Ndajiwo commended the Federal Government efforts especially in the payment of the scholars allowances from September to December. She also advised the scholars to do away with any extracurricular activities that could take their lives, recalling an incident with previous two scholars who lost their lives while swimming in a pool.

+EN_UA_000104.txt,"Senate blocks sanctions aimed at stopping Nord Stream 2 pipeline The Senate blocked a measure to impose new sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia to Germany after the Biden administration warned it could disrupt allied unity in the confrontation over Ukraine. The measure by Republican Senator Ted Cruz of Texas failed on a vote of 55 to 44. It needed 60 votes to pass. The vote was held open for several hours as Democrats grappled with a setback on unrelated voting rights legislation. Russia has nakedly and unequivocally used energy as energy blackmail, Cruz said Thursday on the Senate floor. President Vladimir Putin has done that openly, brazenly and laughingly and absolutely nothing happened, Cruz said. Opponents of the measure said it would damage U.S. cooperation with Germany and other NATO partners as they try to head off a potential invasion of Ukraine by Putins forces deployed on its borders. The bill would undermine the current diplomatic situation, said Senator Jeanne Shaheen, a New Hampshire Democrat who had introduced earlier sanctions proposals with Cruz. We are in a very different situation right now than when two earlier bills were passed. The Biden administration also has argued that imposing new sanctions on the undersea pipeline now could undercut the USs ability to persuade other European nations to join in severe economic penalties later if Russia invades Ukraine. The legislation will not counter further Russian aggression or protect Ukraine, Emily Horne, a spokesperson for the National Security Council, said in a statement Wednesday. Instead, it will undermine our efforts to deter Russia and remove leverage the United States and our allies and partners possess in this moment all to score political points at home. The White House backed an alternative plan from Senator Bob Menendez, the New Jersey Democrat who heads the Foreign Relations Committee, that would make the sanctions contingent on Russias actions in Ukraine. Nearly 40 senators have signed on to that bill. But Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell said that the pipeline is whats divisive. Unlike an older Nord Stream pipeline, the new one bypasses Ukraine. The government of Germany should have shelved this project itself a long time ago, McConnell said. These sanctions, like the prior Nord Stream 2 sanctions that had overwhelming bipartisan support here in Congress, are not about driving a wedge in Europe. The pipeline itself is the wedge. McConnell called for a stronger stance against Russia, saying on the Senate floor that the US should extend additional humanitarian and military support to Ukraine. We must not pull our punches out of some fear of provoking Putin, he said. What will encourage Putin is if he senses American weakness. Construction of the new pipeline is essentially complete, but Germany has yet to issue the certification required for it to begin operating. 2022 Bloomberg L.P.",['Other'],['Other'],0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

Garbage can be transformed into fuel, wood, compost and other materials. Doing this can help to cut contamination, greenhouse gas emissions and landfill use. Waste recovery is necessary to reduce the increasing quantity of landfill and other forms of rubbish dumping. Garbage can be transformed into fuel, wood, compost and other materials. Doing this can help to cut contamination, greenhouse gas emissions and landfill use. The Ljubljana Regional Waste Management Centre (RCERO Ljubljana) is the biggest environmental project in Slovenia, and the most modern facility for waste treatment in Europe. It is also Slovenias biggest cohesion fund environmental project, and a great example of regional cooperation. Euronews Aurora Velez spoke with RCERO Ljubljanas Founder and Head of Investments and Development, Mjtja Praznik, who created, designed and founded the centre from scratch. Euronews: How did you come up with the idea for the project? Mjtja Praznik: Some of the activities started in 2000 when Slovenia was joining the EU: we had to adopt a lot of legislative changes in the field of waste management. Up to that time, most of the municipal waste was thrown into landfill. And this, according to new legislation, needed to stop. So we thought we needed to treat waste: first, separate it, and then use it for material recycling and energy recovery. Euronews: What is - according to you- the impact of the project in Slovenia and in Europe? Mjtja Praznik: Slovenia was treating its municipal waste mainly by landfill, losing all the materials and all the energy. By changing the principle, and by introducing this new treatment for waste, the rate of material being recycled has considerably improved. We have also replaced some combustibles and energies from the fuel produced in the waste and, last but not least, we have also significantly reduced the amount of waste that is going into landfill. From the new plant, only 2% of the waste goes there: the other 98% is transformed into fuel! Euronews: How do you feel about having created the project from scratch? Mjtja Praznik: I am very proud of this project. I had the idea 20 years ago and had started researching the technology then. I am happy that we were able to use our previous experience from landfill, gas extraction and utilisation. All this knowledge has been key to the project. We have aerobic treatment, anaerobic treatment, mechanical treatment: these are all my babies! I started with it, and I went through all these phases: preparing, studying, comparing different technologies. And lastly, opting for the finance from the European Commission, because the project was not cheap! Then it took around three and a half years to get the project ready for operation. I'm happy that it was a long project because it is a big one that can't be done overnight.

Archbishop Ernest arrived in Pakistan on February 2 on a three-day on the invitation of Church of Pakistans President Bishop Dr Azad Marshall. During the visit, the senior church leader held various interactions with faith leaders and community members. He also visited Jaranwala to express solidarity with the victims of the August 16, 2023, violent attacks on multiple churches and homes of Christians. Speaking to a gathering of interfaith leaders at the Saint Peters High School of the Diocese of Raiwand, Archbishop Ernest noted the cordial relations between the clergy of the majority Muslim community and leaders of other faiths. He stressed on the need for continued engagement between the various faith groups for promoting harmony and peaceful coexistence in society. Its encouraging to see such good interfaith relations, which can also contribute greatly towards our common goal of protecting our environment, said Archbishop Ernest. The visiting dignitary was awarded a shield by Muslim faith leaders, including former special assistant to the prime minister on interfaith harmony Hafiz Tahir Mahmood Ashrafi. The archbishop also participated in a special meeting on climate action organised by the moderator bishop of the Church of Pakistan on Feb 4. Addressing the participants, Archbishop Ernest lauded the Church of Pakistans initiative on climate action, saying he was impressed by the realisation in the church for collaborating with ecumenical partners and faith-based institutions to bring about the much-needed change by raising awareness and collective action. I think its a God given opportunity for us to be able to change the mentality of our people and to bring about the values of the Kingdom where respect for Gods creation and respect for the other are of crucial importance. Without respecting what God has given us so freely, it would be difficult for us to be instruments of grace in the world, he said. Earlier, Bishop Marshall briefed the meeting about the churchs initiatives for fostering partnerships to meet the environmental challenges. He stressed on inculcating the spirit of stewardship, as embodied by the wisdom of the Christian tradition, to change the mindset towards the natural world. Though Pakistan is one of the most climate-vulnerable countries in the world, it is unfortunate that our country is also the least funded to effectively combat the crisis. We need to act together to protect, restore and safeguard the environment for ourselves and for our future generations, he emphasised. Archbishop Ernest and bishops of all dioceses of the Church of Pakistan also participated in the soft-launch of Bishop Marshalls book titled The Calling of Lent at the Lahore College of Theology. The messages of Archbishop of Canterbury Rt Revd Justin Welby and Anglican Communions Secretary General Rt Revd Bishop Anthony Poggo were also shared on the occasion. In his message, Archbishop Welby said, Archbishop Azad has taken considerable care to explore some of the spiritual disciplines which might help people journey more closely with Christ to the Cross and prepare for the celebrations of Easter. Bishop Poggo, who has written the foreword of the book, stated: As you study this book during Lent, do please reflect upon the passion of Jesus. Lent is also a season whereby we acknowledge our need for repentance, mercy and forgiveness which is the essence of the message of Jesus Christs suffering on the cross.",['Other'],['Other'],0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

The plans to phase out the vehicles and switch to electric and hybrid vehicles come as the Biden administration continues to pursue its lofty climate goals in a struggling economy. The administration, for example, wants half of all new cars and trucks sold in 2030 to be zero-emission, despite sputtering EV sales. All 8 of the states and D.C. have adopted the Advanced Clean Cars II rule, and will have an outright ban on the sale of new gas-powered vehicles after 2035. California was the first to adopt the rule, aiming to have 35% of new vehicle sales emit zero emissions by 2026, and boosting that goal to 68% by 2030. According to the California Air Resources Board, the regulation overhauls the states growing zero-emission vehicle market and robust motor vehicle emission control rules and augments them to meet more aggressive tailpipe emissions standards and ramp up to 100% zero-emission vehicles. As noted by Money, the states plans to ban gas-powered vehicles have generally not required votes from lawmakers, but have been advanced with support from governors and environmental regulators. The EV market has struggled in recent months, as highlighted by The Daily Wire. Ford, for example, had to cut 1,400 employees from its Rouge Electric Vehicle Center, rolled back the planned production number of the electric F-150 Lightnings in half, and slashed $12 billion in EV investments. President Biden, however, is not slowing down when it comes to targeting the gas-powered vehicle industry. Earlier this month, Bidens Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) set new eye-popping regulations in an effort to increase the number of electric vehicles on the road. The new EPA rules set emission standards for vehicles made between 2027 and 2032 and would eliminate more than 7 billion tons of greenhouse gas emissions, setting off concerns across the nation. For example, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) railed against the EPAs move, calling it both reckless and ill-informed. The federal government has no authority and no right to mandate what type of car or truck Americans can purchase for their everyday lives, the senator said. This reckless and ill-informed rule will impose what is effectively an EV mandate without ensuring the security of our supply chains from nations like China and without a realistic transition plan that addresses our domestic infrastructure needs.","['CC: Criticism of institutions and authorities', 'CC: Criticism of climate policies', 'CC: Criticism of climate policies']","['CC: Criticism of institutions and authorities: Criticism of national governments', 'CC: Criticism of climate policies: Climate policies have negative impact on the economy', 'CC: Criticism of climate policies: Other']",0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
+EN_CC_200009.txt,"Climate Hypocrisy Exposed: EV Battery Production's Demand for Nickel Wreaking Havoc in Indonesia We have seen, time and again, the hypocrisy of the extreme environmental movement, especially the climate-change wing of this movement most of whom don't live anywhere near the actual environment. From Al Gore's mansion to John Kerry's private jets to Leonardo DiCaprio's mega-yacht, these people are all really big on ""Do as we say, not as we do."" And it's worth digging a little deeper into the issues behind the net-zero issue, that being the advocacy for net zero carbon emissions, something that is all but impossible. Why? Because of the things required for the manufacture of electric vehicles (EVs); specifically, their batteries and, even more specifically, the raw materials required to make those batteries. This brings us to Indonesia and the environmental havoc that mining for nickel, an essential component of EV batteries, is wreaking on that country. Swathes of rainforest and coastal communities are being destroyed by a nickel mining boom in Indonesia sparked by the race to transition away from fossil fuels. Across the country, a major drive to exploit the countrys abundant natural resources is underway. These photographs capture the sheer scale of the production process. Rows of chimneys, belching smoke and fumes, tower over the schools and houses of what were once rural communities in scenes recalling the work of L.S. Lowry, whose paintings captured life in the industrial districts of North West England in the mid-20th century. Indonesia is now the worlds largest nickel producer, with 15 per cent of the globes lateritic nickel resources typically low-grade deposits found near the surface. But demand is still soaring in tandem with the rise of the electric vehicles (EVs), which depend on it for their batteries. Guess who is, in large part, funding all this? Billion dollar Chinese firms anchor the nickel market in Indonesia, but they are often fed cheap ore by hundreds of smaller, mostly locally-owned mines that dot the rainforest. These mines have transformed once-peaceful agrarian villages and communities, providing economic opportunity but a health and environmental crisis looms from pollution. In just three years, Indonesia has signed more than a dozen deals worth more than $15 billion for battery materials and electric vehicle production with global manufacturers including Hyundai, LG and Foxconn. Granted, nickel extraction will probably go on regardless of the EV push, regardless of the net-zero goals of climate scolds, and we should remember that extraction and refining bring jobs to impoverished communities in Indonesia. That's not the point that we should be examining here. It's the hypocrisy of the climate scolds ignoring these inescapable consequences of their agenda that's galling.

Clean Energy Credits Mostly Go to Higher-Income Filers MUST WATCH: Guyana President Lights Up BBC Host Who Tries to Climate Shame Him Over Extracting Oil That's always been the whole problem with these people; they never count the cost, all the costs, of the agenda for which they advocate. They are of a kind with (and in many cases are the same people) who complain about, say, my going into the woods to shoot a grouse or a snowshoe hare for supper, demanding to know why I can't get my meat at a grocery store so no animal has to die. They are of a kind with the ""Stop Oil"" protesters who block traffic for hours, forcing people to sit with their car engines idling, pouring still more exhaust into the air. They are of a kind with the Greta Thunbergs of the world, ill-informed scolds who want to dictate the end of our modern, technological lifestyles. They never figure situations like the mining of nickel for EV batteries in Indonesia into their calculus, any more than they account for the mining of cobalt with slave labor in Congo, or mining for lithium and its accompanying environmental disturbance. To put it bluntly, they are hypocrites of the worst sort. Why do they ignore these problems with their policies? Is it just because these particular environments are far away and out of sight of these mostly affluent, mostly Western activists? Or are they just ignorant?

+EN_UA_103861.txt,"The World Needs Peacemaker Trump Again by Jeff Crouere, The Liberty Daily: The world is in total chaos after 39 months of the Biden presidency. The southern border of our country is porous and millions of individuals from around the world have descended on our country. These undocumented migrants include terrorists, drug dealers, and intelligence agents of countries such as our enemy, China. It should alarm every American that 22,233 Chinese nationals have illegally entered the United States since the beginning of the fiscal year in October. If this rate continues, this years total will easily top the 24,125 Chinese nationals who illegally entered the country last year. TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/ There has been an astounding 6,300% increase in the number of Chinese nationals illegally entering the country in the last few years. Since China is a communist nation, these individuals are not freely traveling to the United States for a better life. U.S. Senator Roger Marshall (R-KS) believes the influx is due to the direction of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) and it involves espionage as well as stealing military and economic secrets. Last year, China sent a spy balloon over our country, and it was not shot down until it completed its trek across many states. In addition, Chinese investors are buying American farmland for nefarious reasons, and it was confirmed that China operated police stations in the United States to monitor their citizens in our country. China is constantly threatening Taiwan and its other neighbors while building up its military forces. Their proxy state, North Korea, has started regularly testing long-range ballistic missiles that concern their neighboring countries. Ukraine is in the third year of a bitter war with Russia. Last year, a United States report estimated that the total number of injuries and deaths in the war neared 500,000. There is no end in sight to the war as no peace talks are planned and the United States Congress is on the verge of allocating more military aid to Ukraine. On October 7, Israel was invaded by Hamas resulting in the death of 1,200 innocent people. It was the deadliest attack on Israel since its founding in 1948. Hamas abducted over 240 hostages and 129 have not been returned home. These hostages either remain in captivity or are already deceased. As Israel has responded to the Hamas invasion by sending military forces into Gaza, many Democrats have been critical. Sadly, innocent civilians have been killed in the conflict, but how can a nation survive with a terrorist organization operating on its border? To further strengthen their security, on April 1, Israel bombed the Iranian embassy in Damascus, Syria. Among the seven officials killed in the airstrike were Iranian Brig. Gen. Mohammad Reza Zahedi, who helped plan the October 7 massacre in Israel. To retaliate for this strike, Iran launched over 300 drones and missiles into Israel on Saturday. Fortunately, almost all the strikes were intercepted by Israeli forces, with help from the United States, Jordan, and other countries. As the world waits to see if Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will respond to this attack, the Iranians are continuing to issue threats. In an interview on their state TV network, Iranian Major General Mohammad Bagheri said, Our response will be much larger than tonights military action if Israel retaliates against Iran. It is being widely reported by Axios, CNN, and other media outlets that President Joe Biden is urging Netanyahu not to respond and, if he does, the United States will not be involved. This response is disturbing to U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL), who believes the world is witnessing the most dangerous period for the Middle East since 1973. He said, What I dont understand is why Joe Biden and the administration would leak to the media the contents of a conversation in which he tells Netanyahu he doesnt think that Netanyahu should respond at all. It is the continuing part of the public game they are playing which frankly encourages Iran and Hezbollah. Biden has also encouraged Iran by relaxing our economic sanctions, which allowed additional oil revenue to flow into their coffers. This led to their renewed financial support for terrorist organizations like Hamas. Without Irans generous backing, Hamas would not have been able to launch their deadly October 7 attack against Israel. Not content to allow Iran to prosper from oil sales, Biden also released $16 billion in funds for Iran, partially for the return of six American hostages. Terror regimes should never be rewarded for taking hostages, but this is exactly what happened by the Biden administrations unwise decision. As the world deals with multiple international wars and unprecedented chaos in the Middle East, it is useful to remember what was happening when Donald Trump was our President.

+EN_UA_102953.txt,"Russian celebrities labelled as 'foreign agents' for supporting Ukraine challenge Putin in court A Moscow court on Monday disclosed that several Russian artists, who were labeled as foreign agents for publically supporting the Ukrainian government, have submitted appeals against the tagging. According to the Zamoskvorechye district court, appeals have been filed by TV host and comedian Maksim Galkin, actor and musician Semyon Slepakov, blogger Ilya Varlamov, and singer Zemfira. All four individuals left Russia last year and were branded as foreign agents following their public statements in favour of Kiev. Galkin, who was designated as a foreign agent in September 2022 for engaging in political activities on behalf of a foreign government, appeared in a video where he was heard chanting slogans of Ukrainian nationalists during a concert in Dubai, which surfaced in January. Galkin, a comedian known for hosting Russias version of the quiz show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire from 2001 to 2008, had performed alongside Ukraines future President Vladimir Zelensky in a New Years Eve special in 2013. Galkin, aged 46, and his wife, 73-year-old Soviet pop icon Alla Pugacheva, fled to Israel during the escalation of the Ukraine conflict. Pugacheva condemned Galkins designation and expressed her demand to be included on the list as well. Last week, Zemfira, a rock musician who rose to fame in the early 2000s, submitted her appeal to the court, according to reports. Born as Zemfira Ramazanova, she was added to the foreign agent list in February 2023 after criticizing the war in Ukraine and relocating to France. Towards the end of March, Varlamovs inclusion in the registry was announced. As per the Russian Ministry of Justice, the architect and video-blogger specializing in urbanism was accused of spreading false information about government policies and receiving support from foreign entities. Notably, Varlamov had already departed from Russia by that time and claimed to have obtained a passport from Turkmenistan. On April 14, Slepakov was designated as a foreign agent. The Justice Ministry justified this decision by citing his receipt of support from foreign sources, his opposition to the special military operation in Ukraine, and his involvement in promoting negative sentiments towards the Russian people, military, and government. In a satirical song released in January, Slepakov portrayed a Russian mother expressing grief over her three-year-old child not being able to participate in warfare. The TV comedian, screenwriter, and producer had relocated to Israel before his designation. The foreign agents law, enacted in late 2012, allows for the identification of Russian individuals and nonprofit organizations engaged in political activities and receiving funding from abroad. Although it does not impose civil or criminal penalties, unlike its U.S. counterpart that served as its model, those labeled as foreign agents are burdened with demanding reporting obligations.

The film follows the story of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny's poisoning in 2020 - and the subsequent efforts of Grozev and fellow investigative journalist Maria Pevchikh revealing the plot to kill the Russian opposition politician. Navalny, one of Vladimir Putin's most prominent critics, survived the attempt on his life with a deadly nerve agent.

""We are committed to working with our intelligence partners to investigate these threats and to take other steps to ensure the safety of those concerned."" The Met added: ""Despite our efforts, on protective security and on investigations, we recognise the impact of those threats on those affected. ""The responsibility for such threats and their potential impact on the wider public lies with the hostile state actors behind them and we have significantly increased the resources applied to bearing down on those.

The key line on the Ukraine conflict in the draft communique almost echoes Prime Minister Narendra Modi's message to Russian President Vladimir Putin in September that 'today's era is not of war'. There have been a series of negotiations among the diplomats of the G20 member countries over the formulation relating to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Russia and China are also members of the G-20 which operate on the principle of consensus. In his bilateral meeting with Putin in Uzbekistan on September 16, Modi said ""today's era is not of war"" and nudged him to end the conflict. The Indian delegation played a big role in achieving consensus among member states over the wording criticising the Russian invasion, the Financial Times (FT) said, citing two unnamed officials with knowledge of the negotiations. Prime Minister Modi and several leaders of the G20 countries touched upon the Ukraine crisis in their remarks at the grouping's summit that began in Bali on Tuesday. World leaders will state that today's era ""must not be of war"" at the G20 summit in Bali, according to a draft communique agreed by diplomats that also condemned threats of nuclear weapons use, the newspaper said. ""The use or threat of use of nuclear weapons is inadmissible. The peaceful resolution of conflicts, efforts to address crises, as well as diplomacy and dialogue, are vital. Today's era must not be of war,"" the draft statement said, according to FT. The communique was agreed by country delegates on Monday night but must still be signed off by G20 leaders at the two-day summit, the report said. The G20 ""will make clear that Russia's war is wreaking havoc for people everywhere"", the report said, quoting a senior US official. An Indonesian official said discussions on the draft statement were ""still dynamic"" and might change, it said. In his address at the summit, Modi on Tuesday referred to his repeated call for resolving the crisis through talks. ""I have repeatedly said that we have to find a way to return to the path of ceasefire and diplomacy in Ukraine. Over the past century, the Second World War wreaked havoc in the world,"" he said. Since the Ukraine conflict began in February, Prime Minister Modi spoke to Russian President Putin as well as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a number of times. In a phone conversation with Zelenskyy on October 4, Modi said that there can be ""no military solution"" and that India is ready to contribute to any peace efforts. India has not yet condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine and it has been maintaining that the crisis must be resolved through diplomacy and dialogue.",['Other'],['Other'],0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

In September 2022, Sikorski, then a member of the European Parliament (MEP), insinuated that Washington was complicit in the attack on the Nord Stream gas pipeline. Sikorski tweeted a photo from the scene of the crime and signed it Thank you, USA. The MEP also pointed out Joe Bidens standing threat to demolish the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline. However, his tweet was deleted just a few hours later. Speaking with Polish news outlet Rzeczpospolita as the Polish foreign minister his week, Sikorski said If we believe media, it [the attack] was carried out by someone who was interested in it.

Last June, the Navy divers, operating under the cover of a widely publicized mid-summer NATO exercise known as BALTOPS 22, planted the remotely triggered explosives that, three months later, destroyed three of the four Nord Stream pipelines, according to a source with direct knowledge of the operational planning, Hersh wrote in his Substack newsletter. The White House responded and dismissed the claims as false and complete fiction.

German media, ZDF and Der Spiegel said that there is no evidence of Russias involvement in the pipeline explosions. The news outlets added that there is growing evidence that agents linked to Ukraine may be behind the attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines.

+EN_UA_103445.txt,"Vladimir Putin spotted with mystery prominent scar on his neck as rumours about thyroid cancer battle swirl VLADIMIR Putin was spotted with a mystery ""prominent scar"" on his neck that has led to swirling rumours the despot is amid a ""thyroid cancer battle"". Intrigue over the Russian leader's health resurfaced following photos that were snapped at an Orthodox Easter cathedral service in Moscow at the weekend. Images showed stone-faced Putin clasping a candle as the church proceedings went on. However, most strikingly was an evident ""scar"" on his neck. It prompted a debate online about whether the new snaps stack up the claims made by Proekt media, who have said Putin is suffering from thyroid cancer. The independent outlet spearheaded an investigation that revealed the dictator was constantly accompanied by a team of surgeons. READ MORE ON VLADIMIR PUTIN One in particular, Yevgeny Selivanov, who specialises in thyroid cancer. The scar appears as a prominent diagonal line upwards from left to right on his neck. It was clearly seen in the pictures posted by the Kremlin from the Easter service. Telegram channel, Unian, claimed the scar was the shape of a letter 'Z', a pro-war symbol used by Putins invading forces. Most read in The Sun An Unian spokesman said: ""A strange scar in the shape of the letter 'Z' has been noticed on Putin's neck. ""The unusual shots were taken on Easter when the dictator visited a cathedral."" Denis Kazaksky, a Ukrainian blogger, also pointed to the ""prominent scar"" in one of his social media videos. He said: ""What is it with Volodya [Putin]? ""I think I have figured out where the 'Z' came from."" It is not the first time Putin's apparent scar has come to light. In December 2020, Russian media outlet Sobesednik identified a distinct marking on his neck. At the time, plastic surgeon Amjad Al-Yousef said: ""In theory, after intubation such a scar can remain, but this is only in theory. ""It often happens that not even a scar remains as the skin heals."" He was speaking before suspicious claims emerged that Putin suffered from thyroid cancer. However, there is no evidence the despot leader has ever undergone surgery for removal of the thyroid gland. Al-Yousef claimed it could possibly not be a scar but a mark in his loose skin - common in an ""elderly person"". Conversely in 2020, the marking did not appear as prominent as seen in recent days at the Christ the Saviour Cathedral in Moscow. Al-Yousef suggested Putin, 70, had undergone regular plastic surgery on his face - but this was not done on his neck. He said: ""No plastic surgery is performed on this part of the body. ""Even if we assume that this is some kind of innovation in plastic surgery, then in this case it would have been performed more professionally without such a serious mistake."" Pointing to a photo of Putin from 2020, Al-Yousef clarified the differences in appearance. He said: ""Here is the classic neck of a 68 year old man with low skin strength. With age, skin turgor changes and becomes weaker. ""Vladimir Putins face is very well-groomed, professional cosmetic care is noticeable. ""And when we see the perfect face, we naturally begin to pay attention to the skin of the neck. ""Unfortunately, there are no such effective professional treatments for the neck. ""While putting a shirt and a tie on, the throat is squeezed, the skin gathers and turns into such a fold."" The Proekt investigative report claimed one medic Alexey Shcheglov ""relentlessly"" followed the Russian leader and had made 59 trips encompassing 282 days by his side. According to the report, Shcheglov was seen as a medic ""who, among other things, can be the first to detect problems with the thyroid gland, including oncological ones."" Putin was also under the attention of Igor Esakov, an ENT specialist, who made 38 trips to Putin, covering 152 days. He was also accompanied by Yevgeny Selivanov, a cancer surgeon - during 35 trips, it was reported. His expertise covers ""peculiarities of diagnostics and surgical treatment of elderly and senile patients with thyroid cancer."" Multiple other medics were revealed as caring for the Russian president. Separate claims have suggested Putin was undergoing chemotherapy. One political analyst claimed the warmonger was ""high on speed"" to get through key meetings as he struggles with health issues.

+EN_CC_100037.txt,"Majority of Americans Believe Climate Change Hoax but Oppose Ending Fossil Fuels Unfortunately, a new poll shows that the majority of Americans believe to some extent the unscientific climate doom propaganda that has been consistently wrong for half a century. The good news: most Americans still oppose ditching fossil fuels and gas cars altogether. Pew Research Center published the results of its new survey on June 28. While climate alarmists predictions have been consistently and wildly wrong for 50 years now, with one unscientific claim after another proven false, the media, government, and institutions continue pounding in the narrative and with some apparently considerable effects: - 74% of Americans say they support the countrys participation in international efforts to reduce the effects of climate change. - 67% of U.S. adults prioritize the development of alternative energy sources such as wind, solar and hydrogen power over increasing the production of fossil fuel energy sources. I have previously explained in more detail how green energy is actually toxic for the environment, besides being inefficient and unprofitable. In other words, green energy is a lose-lose option. Solar panels and wind turbines have killed billions of birds, for instance, and offshore wind turbines can be deadly for whales (not to mention, wind turbines and solar panels generate plenty of toxic waste). And those green electric vehicles (EV)? EV batteries, which have to be replaced every few years, are very toxic to manufacture and dispose of. Perhaps Americans are starting to realize that: [Pew:] Less than half of the public (40%) favors phasing out the production of gas-powered cars and trucks. Support for this policy is 7 percentage points lower than it was two years ago. And underscoring the strong feelings big changes to American life can engender, 45% say they would feel upset if gas-powered cars were phased out; fewer than half as many (21%) would feel excited. You mean Americans dont want to switch to unreliable electric cars that have to depend upon an already strained grid? No way! If Pew is to be believed, however, Americans are a little too credulous of the narrative that carbon is about to make this planet into a ball of fire. (Spoiler: it isnt): - 76% favor providing a tax credit to businesses that develop carbon capture technologies and 70% support taxing corporations based on their carbon emissions. - 61% favor requiring power plants to eliminate all carbon emissions by the year 2040 One very simple truth that the climate alarmists dont want you to know is that carbon is absolutely essential for life on Earth. Indeed, increased carbon actually helps plants including food crops thrive. Human, plant, or animal, we need carbon. So drastically reducing carbon could hurt humans and devastate crops and plants. Ireland to require farmers to reduce cattle herds by one-third by 2030 to save planet. Farmers to reduce carbon footprint through bankruptcy.https://t.co/YyZGxlPLNm Steve Milloy (@JunkScience) February 7, 2023 By the way, a recent study found that CO2 emissions from fossil fuels are too low to cause global warming. That seems like important information, but dont expect to see it in the mainstream media. Related: WATCH: Cricketer Carries Climate Protester Off the Field It is disappointing that so many Americans believe to some degree in the climate hoax after all these years. But it is encouraging that Americans are not falling hook, line, and sinker for some of the lies around electric vehicles and fossil fuels. We dont need to give up our cars to save the planet.

+EN_UA_102034.txt,"Most Taiwanese do not view US as trustworthy, but majority trusts its security commitment for island: Survey A majority of Taiwanese do not consider the United States a trustworthy country, despite expressing belief in Washingtons security commitment to the island, according to a recent survey conducted by National Chengchi University in Taipei. According to South China Morning Post, the annual survey, which polled 1,211 Taiwanese adults in September, found that only 34 per cent agreed that the US is trustworthy, maintaining the same level as the previous year when it fell from 43.4 per cent in 2021. Yet as American credibility remained stable, more than 50 per cent did not deem the US trustworthy in the survey of 1,211 Taiwanese adults conducted in September, although China fared significantly worse. Analysts attribute this skepticism to the unfolding events in Ukraine and how the US government responded to Russias invasion. We suspect that the drop may have come from the occurrence of the Ukraine war and how the United States government responded, South China Morning Post quoted Hsin-Hsin Pan, a member of the survey team at Taipeis Soochow University, as saying. Washingtons handling of Russias invasion of Ukraine indicates to many Taiwanese how the US might respond if Beijing were to engage in armed conflict with the island, Pan added. Despite the mixed views on the US, perceptions of China were consistently negative. Only 9.3 per cent of respondents considered China trustworthy, a slight decrease from last years 9.4 per cent and 13.5 per cent in 2021. China considers Taiwan a renegade province and has asserted its intention to reunite it with the mainland, even if force is necessary. While the US does not officially recognise Taiwan as an independent country and adheres to a one-China policy, the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979 legally binds Washington to provide Taiwan with arms of a defensive character and maintain the capacity to resist any form of coercion. President Joe Biden has reiterated the US commitment to intervene militarily should China use force against Taiwan. The survey also indicated strong support for American arms sales to Taiwan, with over 65 per cent of respondents expressing approval. Approximately 57 per cent believed that the US would use force to assist Taiwan if Beijing attempted to unilaterally change the status quo. The findings highlight a notable gap between the overall credibility of the US and the credibility of its security commitment to Taiwan. Analysts emphasise that more people are willing to assign credibility to the US security commitment to Taiwan than to the US overall. Regarding the question of whether Taiwan and China belong to the same country, about 78 per cent of those polled rejected this idea. Notably, more than 50 per cent of Kuomintang party members or supporters, who generally favor closer ties with Beijing, also asserted that Taiwan and China are not part of the same country. This suggests a disconnect between the KMT party stance and the beliefs of its support base. As Taiwan approaches its presidential election scheduled for January 13, the political landscape is becoming increasingly complex. The election is expected to focus on local health and welfare issues, as well as relations with Beijing and the islands sovereignty. With regional tensions rising, the outcome of the election is seen as a potential turning point for the islands future relations with China and the United States. The winning party will play a crucial role in shaping the trajectory of these relationships amidst evolving geopolitical challenges.

The gathering on Saturday was part of Getty's continuous efforts to celebrate Southern California's vibrant Native American cultures. Sitting atop a hill in the Santa Monica Mountains, the Getty Center, a campus of the Getty Museum and other programs of the Getty Trust, took around 1.3 billion U.S. dollars to build and opened in December 1997. It is well known for its architecture, gardens, and bird's-eye views of Los Angeles. Building on last year's success, where attendees learned about native plant dyes and relished musical performances, this year's event in the museum had a broader scope. Generous support for this year's celebration came from the Getty Patron Program, which provides funds for exceptional exhibitions at the museum, reflecting the institution's commitment to diversity and inclusion. ""Los Angeles stands on indigenous land. Recognizing Indigenous Peoples' Day is not just about acknowledgment but about understanding, appreciating, and cherishing the cultures that have been here for thousands of years,"" former Los Angeles City Councilman Mitch O'Farrell remarked previously. O'Farrell was the first Native American to serve on the Los Angeles's City Council from 2013 to 2022. Indigenous Peoples' Day is recognized on the second Monday of October, and its significance has grown over the years as an alternative to Columbus Day. Rita, a teacher from Compton with Native American ancestry, attended the event with her family. ""It's essential for my children to see their culture celebrated so publicly. This is an educational experience, a cultural revival, and a family day out, all rolled into one."" All-day activities included a tasting menu curated by culinary anthropologist Claudia Serrato, which offered attendees a chance to savor traditional Mesoamerican flavors like cacao, chia seeds, maz, and amaranth. Participants also received recipe cards to recreate these delicacies at home. Luna, inspired by the Alliance of Native American Chefs, attended the tasting event with an eye to learning more ways to develop her own brand of Native American cuisine that fuses her grandmother's cooking with modern flavors. ""I want to celebrate my amazing grandmother, of the Aqua Caliente tribe, who could do wonders with simple traditional ingredients, and encourage others to explore our unique culinary traditions,"" she told Xinhua. The celebration further comprised a block stamp workshop led by Meztli Projects, where attendees learned about Mexica lifeways using linocut stamps. ""As someone deeply involved in the revival of indigenous arts, this event is a significant step forward,"" stated Carlos Red Feather, an artist from the Pacific Northwest. ""It's not just about the past; it's about the present and future of our art and our communities."" ""I've been attending these celebrations for years, and the shift in narrative is palpable,"" Linda M., a Native American LA resident, told Xinhua. ""We appreciate the efforts of California's leaders to ensure that our voices are heard, our histories acknowledged, and our rights secured."" The event's broader intent was evident as it also shone light on the pressing challenges faced by Indigenous communities, such as discrimination, disproportionate impacts of climate change, and land rights. Conversations echoed sentiments expressed by leaders like Alannah Hurley, executive director of United Tribes of Bristol Bay, who emphasized that the community is not merely a historical footnote but remains a crucial and vibrant part of the American fabric. As the day ended, Mirim S., a student from the University of California, Los Angeles, reflected that ""today was more than a celebration. It was a call to action. We, the younger generation must ensure that the message of diversity and recognition is not confined to a single date but is carried on through our daily lives."" As Los Angeles and other cities in California and across the United States continue to celebrate Indigenous Peoples' Day, attendees expressed the hope that it would pave the way for greater understanding, recognition and collaboration in the future.",['Other'],['Other'],0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

Brad Templeton, a Forbes contributor, related a story of his electric car tearing through pricey tires at breakneck speed. Despite praising the many advantages of electric vehicles over traditional internal combustion engines, Templeton admitted that the requirement for tire replacement at short intervals is an inconvenient downside. The doozy was needing new tires at around 28,000 miles, Temple writes in Electric Vehicle Maintenance Is Super-Cheap, But The Dark Secret Is Tires from last month. That was too early, far before their rated life. One reason for this was a stupid mistake on my part. In the past, Ive taken my gasoline cars in for regular service, and they were rotating my tires as needed during this service. Not taking my EV in for service, I never got the rotation done. That not only meant the drive tires of my car wore out faster, it also meant I could not make a warranty claim on them. Lesson learned. Electric vehicles do incur charges for what is classified as a repair rather than maintenance. Many Tesla 12v batteries have been reported to fail, albeit most are still under warranty. If you chip a windshield, bang a mirror, or get a car burglary, parts for premium cars are always pricey. He admits that neglecting to rotate the tires properly may have been his fault, but he contends that the added weight of his electric car, along with the necessity for high-efficiency, low-noise tires, meant an expensive purchase was always on the horizon. Apart from that, he characterizes the advantages of owning an electric vehicle as a world of guilt-free driving. Like Pete Buttigieg, who urged average Americans to buy electric cars to avoid high gas costs while ignoring the $56,000 price tag, which has already proven to be a money trap. Nonetheless, in light of this revelation, it appears that the tradeoff of electric vehicles fewer environmental impacts for a higher price is having the opposite effect. Regular tread replacement will have an impact on the environment, both because of the fossil fuels required to manufacture them and because wear and tear contribute more harmful microplastics to the environment. Given that modern tires contain petroleum-based plastics, a car tire requires between 7 and 22 gallons of oil to manufacture, according to a National Geographic article.

However, he is not the only one who was humiliated and stunned by the success of the Ukrainian Armed Forces on Russian territory. Ukraine's partners, among those who provide weapons but restrict their use, are in the same position. This is the opinion of Colonel Richard Justin Kemp, a retired British Army officer and knight, who was awarded the highest honor in the UK. In his opinion, the Ukrainian offensive ""showed the cowardice of the allies,"" especially US President Joe Biden and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Sir Richard Kemp recalls how President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had previously asked Western partners to allow the use of long-range weapons to protect both Ukrainian soldiers and Ukraine in general. ""The British Storm Shadow missiles could make a difference in this battle, but the British government is unwilling to allow them to be used to their full potential. What, in Sir Keir Starmer's opinion, is the point of a strike on Russian territory, apart from protecting Ukraine? And how would the Second World War have ended if the Prime Minister had not allowed British and American bombs to fall on German soil?"" asks the colonel. According to Sir Richard Kemp, throughout the entire period of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, ""the most pathetic were the Western allies"" who pursued a policy not based on Ukraine's defense needs, ""but on the groundless fear of Russian retaliation."" And although all of Putin's so-called red lines turned out to be nothing more than baseless intimidation, each subsequent Western decision to provide Ukraine with long-range missiles, tanks, or combat aircraft ""was reluctant, half-hearted, inadequate, and gripped by fear."" Incidentally, it was these fears and the ""miserable policy"" of the partners that ensured the success of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Kursk region, the Briton believes. ""Ukraine was able to launch an unexpected attack on Russian territory because most of the border with the enemy was left almost unguarded. The fact is that Putin knew that his territory remained virtually invulnerable to attack because of Western restrictions on the use of weapons. This also applies to airfields, supply routes, and logistics bases. Significant forces needed to protect them have been thrown into the war in Ukraine,"" the colonel said. ""What Western leaders don't realize is that when you're facing a tyrant like Putin, escalation is the only language he fears and understands. We see the same thing in the Middle East, where Biden is pleading with Israel to de-escalate. But his unconvincing 'no' will not stop Ayatollah Khamenei from pushing the button and launching Iran's expected missile attack, just as it did not stop Putin from attacking Ukraine,"" Sir Richard Kemp said. Ukraine's offensive near Kursk has taught the West a ""salutary lesson,"" the military said. ""Despite the capture of thousands of square kilometers of Russia's holy shrines, no nuclear missiles were raining down on Kyiv. The truth is that if Ukraine had been allowed to escalate from the very beginning, it could have brought this war to an end on favorable terms for Kyiv,"" the British colonel believes.

On his last day in the country he made some wide-ranging remarks to the press, and among the most interesting was a statement on the future of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. Putin predicted at a moment things are going very badly for Ukrainian forces, and at a rare time Western media seems to be turning on Zelensky, that the Ukrainian leader will soon be replaced over his poor and unpopular decision-making. Putin suggested Washington is essentially going to make him a scapegoat. ""In the West, they simply do not want to replace him [Zelenskyy], the time is not right. I think it's obvious to anyone. They will blame all unpopular decisions on him, including lowering the [military] draft age, and that's it,"" Putin asserted, according to Russian media translation. That's when he followed with: ""And then they'll replace him. I think it will happen sometime in the first half of next year."" Putin could be at least in part seizing on the obvious increased negative coverage of the Zelensky government in major Western media outlets, from the BBC to NY Times to Wall Street Journal. Indeed Zelensky's 'celebrity power' on display throughout the first part of the war, where it seemed he could simply do no wrong in the media's eyes, is waning fast. More importantly, there are signs of large-scale dissent among the Ukrainian population as recruitment officers violently grab men from off the streets. Despite Kiev forces clearly being against the ropes of late, Zelensky has still refused to even contemplate negotiating. He has stood by his earlier commitment to not enter dialogue toward ceasefire until Putin is out of power. Putin commented on this while in Vietnam: Talks on Ukraine could take place as early as tomorrow, but Russia will use the current situation as a starting point, the president added. ""We have been conducting these behind-the-scenes talks, and what we hoped for has failed,"" Putin told reporters.

+EN_UA_102655.txt,"BIOWARFARE ON AMERICANS: RFK Jr. says CIA was directly involved in funding COVID research for Wuhan lab by Ethan Huff, Natural News: The reason why the Biden regime could not care less about even attempting to punish communist China for covering up the lab leak that many believe occurred at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, allowing the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) to escape, is because doing so would expose the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and its bioweapons program. These and other statements were made by 2024 presidential hopeful Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in a recent interview with Fox News Jesse Watters. Kennedy suggested that the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is also involved in funding the bioweapons programs from which COVID appears to have originated. TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/ I think the CIA was involved certainly in this research, Kennedy told Watters and viewers. They were funding it through USAID. And NIH, I think, in the end gave about $26 million in funding to the Wuhan lab. But USAID, which was functioning as the CIA surrogate, gave over $64 million. The Pentagon also gave a lot of money. Kennedy would go on in the interview to blast Tony Fauci, the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), for his complicity in unleashing hell on the world that resulted in tens of millions of needless deaths. I think he caused a lot of injury, Kennedy, who wrote an entire book about the subject, said of Fauci. I think that he particularly, by withholding early treatment from Americans, we racked up the highest death count in the world. We only have 4.2 percent of the globes population but we had 16 percent of the COVID deaths in this country and that was from bad policy. RFK Jr. says vaccines do, in fact, cause autism Unlike the United States, many other countries allowed their citizens to access tried-and-true remedies for coronaviruses such as ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), both of which were maligned or even banned in the U.S. as fake news. There were countries that did the opposite of what we did that provided ivermectin, hydroxychloroquine, other early treatments to their population, and had 1/200th of our death rate, Kennedy said. Concerning the subject of vaccines, Kennedy clarified for Watters and viewers his longtime position that poison jabs do, in fact, cause autism though that does not necessarily mean that he opposes vaccines being legal, just so long as sound science is able to back them. I do believe that autism comes from vaccines, Kennedy revealed. But I think most of the things people believe about my opinions about vaccines are wrong. I, you know, all I have said about vaccines is we should have good science. We should have the same kind of testing, placebo-controlled trials that we have for every other medication. Vaccines are exempt from pre-licensing placebo-controlled trials. Theres no way that anybody can tell the risk profile of those products or even the relative benefits of those products before theyre mandated, and we should have that kind of testing. Be sure to watch the interview with Kennedy below: One commenter noted that he agrees with Kennedy in that COVID was cultivated and intentionally released at just the right time, one year before a U.S. presidential election.

Kudos to Michelle Solomon and Taylor McNair for reminding readers that this form of clean, renewable energy blowing along our coast needs only to be harnessed with floating wind turbines and transmitted via infrastructure to our population centers, facilitated by Inflation Reduction Act financial incentives. The technology is available, the seed money to pay for the launch of this promising enterprise exists and the need for offshore wind energy could not be greater as the climate crisis ravages much of the world. Gov. Newsom, this is your summons to even bolder climate leadership. Ginger Osborne, Laguna Beach .. To the editor: California stands to benefit from cleaner air, good-paying jobs and reliable energy with offshore wind technology. But policymakers need to pass legislation that locks in investment and resources for offshore wind to ultimately succeed in our state. California should start by ensuring a market exists for the clean power that offshore wind will create. To do that, the Legislature should pass AB 1373. This piece of legislation ensures central procurement for offshore wind, meaning the Public Utilities Commission will start requiring utilities and companies servicing Californians electrical needs to have a diverse portfolio of clean energy sources including offshore wind. Lawmakers need to kick-start offshore wind in California, and they can start by passing AB 1373. Dan Jacobson, Elk Grove, Calif. .. To the editor: I agree that California should become a leader in building and deploying floating wind turbines. And while we can help this nascent technology emerge, we shouldnt wait for it to mature to deploy offshore wind. There are many unsightly oil platforms not far off the coast, particularly in Huntington Beach and Long Beach. These are grounded. We should deploy grounded wind turbines at similar depths and distances.

In the video, former Fox News host Tucker Carlson questions the 2024 Republican presidential candidate about where his priorities lie after Pence criticizes the length of time it has taken the Biden administration to provide Ukraine with weapons to fend off Russias invasion of the former Soviet state. You are distressed that the Ukrainians dont have enough American tanks. Every city in the United States has become much worse over the past three years. Drive around. Theres not one city thats gotten better in the United States, and its visible, Carlson says during a forum at the Family Leadership Summit in Iowa. Our economy has degraded, the suicide rate has jumped, public filth and disorder and crime have exponentially increased, and yet, your concern is that the Ukrainians a country most people cant find out a map whove received tens of billions of US tax dollars dont have enough tanks. I think its a fair question to ask, like, wheres the concern for the United States in that? Carlson asks Pence. To which Pence responds, Its not my concern. Tucker, Ive heard that routine from you before, but thats not my concern. Several conservatives on social media seized on the clip, including Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk, who shared a snippet of the exchange on Twitter and wrote, Tucker Carlson just brutalized Mike Pence for prioritizing Ukraine despite a litany of social ills afflicting America. The former vice president shot back at Kirk on social media, sharing a clip with his full answer to Carlson that showed him explaining that under a Pence administration, the country would be able to tackle both issues affecting Ukraine and domestic problems at the same time. Sorry [Charlie Kirk]. That is what we used to call FAKE NEWS. Heres the full clip of my remarks if youre interested, Pence wrote in his tweet. In the extended clip, Pence continues his response to Carlson by saying, Anybody that says that we cant be the leader of the free world and solve our problems at home has a pretty small view of the greatest nation on Earth. We can do both. And as president of the United States, we will secure our border, we will support our military, we will revive our economy and stand by our values. And we will also lead the world for freedom under my administration. I promise you. Pence made an unannounced visit to Kyiv late last month and became the first declared 2024 Republican contender to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. The 64-year-old made the trip with Samaritans Purse, an evangelical Christian humanitarian organization that the former vice president previously accompanied to Poland and Ukraine, a Pence adviser said. I really do believe that if Vladimir Putin and the Russian military were to overrun Ukraine, it wouldnt be too long before they cross the border where our men and women would be required to fight, Pence, an outspoken backer of the Ukrainian war effort and providing US military support for the country, told NBC News in June.","['URW: Discrediting the West, Diplomacy', 'URW: Discrediting the West, Diplomacy', 'URW: Overpraising the West', 'URW: Amplifying war-related fears']","['URW: Discrediting the West, Diplomacy: The West does not care about Ukraine, only about its interests', 'URW: Discrediting the West, Diplomacy: The West is weak', 'URW: Overpraising the West: The West belongs in the right side of history', 'URW: Amplifying war-related fears: NATO should/will directly intervene']",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

In 2023, Wealth Research Groups founder made his portfolio visible and the results were world-class! Over 15 companies reached new highs and he just made his 2024 portfolio available for us. ACCESS IT HERE! American Interventionism Is Dangerous, But Is It Worse than the Alternative? Ive been here before, only I didnt know it. When I born in the summer of 1984, the world had already escaped nuclear holocaust on a number of occasions, but the biggest close calls happened in the early 1980s, with one of them so close to a Soviet-American thermonuclear war that the Soviet officer who de-escalated the event is dubbed the man that saved the world Stanislav Petrov. Like all incredible lucky stories, Stanislav was called to duty at the last second, because the officer originally assigned to the shift was sick. Suddenly, his screen was filled with notices of nuclear warheads headed to the Soviet Union from the United States, and he had to decide whether or not to call Moscow ASAP and alert them that in five minutes, the entire country would be obliterated! But something stopped him he began reasoning that had the United States started on the path of nuclear war, theyd launch hundreds of missiles, not just a few, and decided to hold off and learn that no other station was reporting anything. Subsequently, he learned that this was a new satellite detection system that was totally useless, and that even flares from the clouds and sun could make it beep. Basically, he found out that the latest Soviet air defenses were garbage and was actually fired, instead of hailed for his deep thinking. I was born the year after Stanislav Petrov saved the world, including my own parents. Now, the Russians and NATO members are fighting a proxy war in Ukraine. France is ready to send troops to Ukraine already and, instead of having the country join NATO, it will essentially turn Ukraine into a buffer zone between Russia and the rest of Europe, but president Biden, of all people, is the one blocking it. No wonder precious metals are soaring, but do I agree with hedge fund managers that it is overvalued? Courtesy: Zerohedge.com In my opinion, gold is not overvalued, and its fair price is in the neighborhood of $2,582, whereas silvers is around $37. In the next few weeks, Biden will realize that France entering Ukraine, while showing that Washington is playing second fiddle to an emerging superpower in Europe. Washington stands to gain much from this, as it will drastically shift from policing the world to coalizing with other nations and keeping its influence, while isolating more and more, which is a very bi-partisan strategy. If this happens, a head-on confrontation between France and Russia will send the human race back to the WW2 era, and I submit to you that French troops will then be reinforced by German, Polish and Italian ones. Ukraine, in effect, will be like the Berlin Wall, separating Russia from Europe proper. If youre shaking your head in disbelief, just know that during Carters term in office, a 40c-worth chip malfunctioned once, prompting the screens to show that 2,000 Soviet warheads were en route to major American cities. Only five minutes later, when Carter was about to be notified and we were minutes away from launching a counterstrike, the operations room called to say it was a faulty chip!!! Yeah, own silver its going higher.

The disclosure appears in the text of a document signed by Cathryn McGahey KC, dated October 31, and released on the website of the Dawn Sturgess Inquiry chaired by Lord Anthony Hughes (lead image left). The war in Ukraine has required, McGahey (right), a barrister representing the government ministries, wrote to Hughes, and continues to require work to be undertaken by many of the same individuals and resources who are working on disclosures. Many of those working disclosure are subject matter experts,. While disclosure to the Inquiry is a priority, there have been times when this has had to take second place behind live, ongoing issues of national security. McGahey testifed before Hughes at a two-hour hearing on the Novichok allegations in a London courtroom last Friday, November 11. Follow what was said, and what was meant, in this analysis. An official transcript of the hearing can be read here. According to McGahey, approximately 80,000 documents (including emails) have been identified and located as relevant to the Hughes inquiry. But before any of them can be identified, quoted, or released publicly, McGahey suggested, the governments Ukraine warfighters will be obliged to down their weapons and pick up censorship tools to prevent the Russians from gaining any advantage. As Hughes has announced, referring to the allegations of Novichok poisoning, the responsibility for the events in Salisbury [Skripal incident March 4, 2018] and Amesbury [Sturgess incident June 30, 2018] is what is to be decided by this Inquiry. There is, however, at least a prima facie case (denied by those accused) that those responsible were Russian nationals acting in the interests of the Russian state and allegedly under its direction. Exactly what roles in the Ukraine war the subject matter experts are playing has not been disclosed. The Russian Government has publicly accused the British Government of providing undersea drone and other technology for attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines, Russias Black Sea fleet, a plan of attack against the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam, and nuclear weapons design. McGahey told Hughes the British Government hasnt enough money to pay these warfighters to do both the Ukrainian and the Novichok jobs. There are stretched resources and budgets across HMG [HHis Majestys Government], which are not trivial, and there is very real pressure on government departments and agencies. Hughes has decided there must be a near-total ban on identifying by name any British official engaged in warmaking against Russia, including intelligence gathering, weapons training, plans and operations. The risk of damage to national security here, he said, lies in the risk that hostile actors, whether State or otherwise and, if State, whether Russian or otherwise, might target individuals identified as concerned in the UK reaction to those events, and/or might use access to their names as a means of disrupting UK public functions. I am satisfied, on all the material I have seen, both OPEN and CLOSED, that these are marked real risks to some of those who were involved in the 2018 events, and that Russia in particular has both an interest in such activity and a known capacity to carry it out. For most of these persons therefore, a restriction order is likely to be necessary [Russia] would have a similar interest in anyone amongst government staff who carried out any sensitive role; an obvious example would be any person concerned in the work of intelligence agencies, or other covert activities, but the risk will not be limited to them. General disclosure of the names of persons subject to these risks would indeed present a hostile actor with a convenient directory of suitable targets and/or a list of sensitive functions which would be of considerable value to a hostile actor accumulating intelligence about UK security and government systems.

+EN_UA_100411.txt,"Ukraine: You Break It, We Take It Ukraine: You Break It, We Take It Authored by Citizen Soldier via RealClearDefense, All Aboard! Here comes the latest Postwar Gravy Train, laden with massive government spending, lax oversight and other goodies for cunning contractors and economic opportunists seeking to benefit from the near-destruction of Ukraine. Last week, the State Department announced it intends to seize Russian assets in the United States to help fund rebuilding efforts, though the estimated $300 billion here and in Europe wont cover the projected price tag of $500 billion. What Putin destroyed, Russia should must pay to rebuild, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said. Like an earlier generation of interventionists, Blinken cites the Pottery Barn rule You Break It, You Own It to explain an aggressors moral obligation to rebuild. Colin Powell used the same reasoning in the summer of 2002, as a ""caution"" to President George W. Bush about the consequences of military action in Iraq. A major difference is the dollars at stake. American and European firms undoubtedly are eager to reconstruct a modern, high-tech country from the ground up. Our government seeks every opportunity to impose itself, at home and abroad, but has a poor track record for managing projects. No-bid contract awards, bribes and billions of missing dollars are the legacy of the Coalition Provisional Authoritys rebuilding work in Iraq, where officials concluded that not enough was accomplished for the amount of funds expended. We learned that when taxpayer money is plentiful, oversight and results will be negligible. Just imagine how generous and hands-off our government might be spending Russias money. Not everyone endorses the act of confiscating Russias money, pointing to the principle of reciprocity as a reason to show restraint. Stealing the assets of a foreign country sets a dangerous precedent that could be applied against us. For example, what if China confiscates American assets to fund rebuilding projects in Libya, Iraq or other nations the United States has damaged through war? The DC hype-meisters talk about the Great Power Competition of wannabe superpowers; they tell us that China is on the brink of becoming the dominant international force, that Russia is preparing to seize all of Europe. Here, though, the faade falls awaythe elites believe the United States has no economic or military peers. When youre as rich and mighty as America, theres no fear of reciprocity. The elites will do whats in the immediate best interest of their friends, which include certain corporations and investors who will benefit from the most extensive international project since World War II. For this group, the only morality is a morality of power: Treating other nations the way you want to be treated is a rule for losers and weaker players. Blinken and the politicians talk about our categorical imperative in Ukraine, how the world relies on America to defend democracy and protect the rules-based order. But their words ring hollow. The cynical truth is that what Russia breaks, America will takeusing confiscated money to fund a massive rebuilding project that will be poorly managed, but lucrative for the chosen few involved.

Over 60 delegates from nine U.S. states and Nova Scotia, Canada, are touring Finland to gain insights into the country's advanced forestry practices and innovative wood-based technologies. For five days, the delegates will visit various Finnish industrial plants, research institutions, and universities. They will explore forestry management, wood construction, and logging practices across southern, central, western, and eastern Finland. The aim is to familiarize the North Americans with Finland's forest expertise, sustainable forest policies, carbon reduction strategies, and the diverse operations of the Finnish forest industry. Ulla Lainio, Senior Advisor at Business Finland Washington D.C., stated, ""The large group is touring industrial and forest sites to share knowledge about forestry, forest management, wood building, and logging. This visit reflects the significant interest in Finland's forest innovations."" The delegates are particularly interested in Finland's manufacturers of forest machines and wood construction equipment, as well as new bio-products such as wood-textile fibers, wood-based building materials, and biofuels. The goal is to foster collaboration in smart forestry, forest health, wood construction, and biomass sectors. The U.S. forest industry has traditionally been underutilized due to cheap fossil energy and abundant hydropower. However, with the Biden administration's renewed focus on combating climate change, there is a growing interest in biofuels, biomass utilization, forest fire prevention, and advanced forest management technologies. The Inflation Reduction Act provides grants and tax incentives for the forestry sector, making this an opportune time for international collaboration. Wooden house building is common in North America, with a high demand for suppliers of wood construction equipment, prefabricated house solutions, and CLT (Cross-Laminated Timber) and LVL (Laminated Veneer Lumber) production lines. The delegation aims to find efficient construction solutions to address housing shortages and achieve carbon neutrality. Finland, along with Sweden, is a global leader in the forest bioeconomy. The North American delegation seeks partners in both industry and research to support the renewal and diversification of the forestry sector. Outi Suomi, Circular Transition for Zero Waste Mission Lead at Business Finland, emphasized, ""The forest policy is now favorable for reforms, and there is unprecedented interest towards Finland. The collaboration and mutual business opportunities for Finland's and North America's forest industries are significant."" During their stay, the delegation will visit notable companies and research institutions, including Koskisen, Veisto, VTT, Pinomatic, UPM, Stora Enso, Mets Group, Ponsse, University of Eastern Finland, John Deere, Business Joensuu, Natural Resources Institute Finland, Kira Hub, and Aalto University. They will also meet with over 25 forest sector companies showcasing innovative wood-based products, advanced wood construction techniques, and forest fire prevention solutions. The delegation includes top officials responsible for forest use from Michigan, Minnesota, Washington, Colorado, Arkansas, California, South Carolina, North Carolina, Alabama, and Nova Scotia, as well as representatives from leading research universities, sawmills, major forestry companies, forest owners, logging companies, wood architecture firms, and investors. This historic visit is expected to pave the way for significant collaborations and advancements in the global forest industry, highlighting Finland's pivotal role in sustainable forestry and wood innovation.

As part of the Thor-Davis experiment, Danish astronaut Mogensen heads to the International Space Station's (ISS) Cupola observatory module every Saturday to attempt to photograph storms from above. In the first image released by the experiment, which aims to study intense thunderstorms from a better vantage point as well as weather phenomena in high altitude, a Transient Luminous Event (TLE) is seen between 40 and 80 kilometers (25-50 miles) above the Earth. TLEs, sometimes called ""sprites"", ""red sprites"", or ""red jellyfish sprites"", have been reported by pilots for decades, but were only recorded for the first time in July 1989. They are rarely seen from the surface, which is probably for the best, given the illusion they create of an invading alien space force. Like regular lightning strikes, the sprites occur following a build-up of electrical charge within clouds. With red sprites, however, the discharge occurs into the Earth's mesosphere up to 80 kilometers (50 miles) above the Earth. The eerie red color occurs as the charge meets nitrogen in the Earth's atmosphere. Mogensen captured the sprite with an ""event camera"", which according to ESA works more like a human eye than a regular camera, sensing changes in contrast rather than capturing an image. An advantage of these cameras is they can produce around 100,000 images a second, while drawing very little power to do so. Among other aims, the study strives to better understand how lightning in the upper atmosphere affects the concentration of greenhouse gases. These images taken by Andreas are fantastic,"" Olivier Chanrion, lead scientist for this experiment, told ESA of this first image from it.

The Met Office has placed a yellow weather warning for wind as strong gales are predicted for much of the northeast of the UK. The weather warning covers Highlands & Eilean Siar and Orkney & Shetland in Scotland. However, some experts predict heavy winds will also hit other coastlines along the UK. The spell of very windy weather is likely to lead to travel disruption, the weather agency said. This includes impacting coastal routes and sea fronts with large waves, as well as possible loss of power and other services. Delays to road, air and ferry transport are also likely. While the worst of the winds will hit along the coast, speeds could still reach a substantial 60mph inland. The weather warning is in place until 11am, although winds will remain throughout the day for much of the country. The weather agency said: Winds will increase quickly towards dawn Saturday across the Northern Isles with gusts generally reaching 50-60mph but with a smaller chance of 70mph gusts. Winds will quickly ease from late morning. The winds will accompany slightly warmer temperatures than in recent days.

In 2021, the WEF conducted a simulation of Cyber Attacks involving a scenario of Paralysis of the Power Supply, Communications, Transportation, The Internet. Klaus Schwab intimated in no uncertain terms based on a simulated scenario that a cyber-attack: Could bring a complete halt to the power supply, transportation, hospital services, our society as a whole The COVID-19 crisis would be seen in this respect as a small disturbance in comparison to a major cyberattack. (emphasis added) What does Schwab have up his sleeve? A Cyber Terrorist Attack conducive to unprecedented disruptions? Is this something that we should take seriously? A renewed fear campaign, a warning of an impending danger? In the words of Jeremy Jurgens, who is the WEFs Managing Director: I believe that there will be another crisis. It will be more significant. It will be faster than what weve seen with COVID. The impact will be greater, and as a result the economic and social implications will be even more significant. (emphasis added) The 2021 WEF cyber polygon simulation scenario had an obvious contradictory geopolitical slant: The event was chaired by Russias Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, numerous Russian financial institutions, media and communications entities had been invited by the WEF. Forty-eight countries participated in the Event, there were 41 partners of which 10 were from Russia and Kazakhstan: these included News Agency TASS, NTV, Sberbank, Russias largest bank and a leading global financial institution, the Mail.ru Group, Russias largest internet provider, MTS, Russias leading telecommunications group, the State Legal Department of the Omsk Region, Siberia.

If Russia loses, the Putin government will collapse, and the US will be able to steamroll the country, break it apart into several pieces. From there, the US will have China isolated, and then eventually break them. This will result in the final establishment of a singular world order run by the Jewish power centers in the United States, Europe, and Israel.

The reason I want the US empire to collapse is that I do not believe that the US empire is compatible with freedom in the US, and believe that we can only reestablish freedom in this country when the empire falls.

In the interview during the 11th World Governments Summit recently held in Dubai, the UNDP administrator said China's development has been remarkable in so many respects, including poverty alleviation, and its investments in technology and the green transition. ""It is addressing some of the legacies of its rapid industrialization, the air pollution, and the cleaning up of water systems."" China has made major commitments that it would strive to peak carbon dioxide emissions by 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, noted Steiner. ""These transitions will enable China to be both a contributor to a global response to climate change, but also with its technologies and policies will help many other countries including many developing countries to pivot forward into a green transition strategy."" Also in the interview, Steiner highlighted China as the backbone of the international economic recovery. His assessment comes as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) projects global growth to stay at 3.1 percent in 2024 and rise to 3.2 percent in 2025 while forecasting the Chinese economy to expand by 4.6 percent this year. ""The outlook on the global economy is in part also premised on China's own economic development."" He noted that although there are many factors influencing China's recovery in terms of GDP growth, the Chinese economy is looking positive at the moment and the UNDP remains optimistic that a recovery path is on its way. UNDP works in about 170 countries and territories, helping to eradicate poverty, reduce inequalities and exclusion, and build resilience so countries can sustain progress. As the UN's development agency, UNDP plays a critical role in helping countries achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). ""We see great potential for our future collaboration in China with the SDGs, including on the SDG innovation hubs that China is establishing and where we are collaborating."" Asked about his priorities for UNDP in 2024, Steiner said the challenge of climate change remains a centerpiece of UNDP's work.

The announcement comes just two days after he claimed that the troops have successfully captured the key Ukrainian city. The claims were however refuted by Kyiv who said that it is hanging on to a corner of the eastern Ukrainian city and that battles are ongoing. Wagner will leave Artemovsk from May 25 to June 1, Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin said in an audio recording on Telegram. Bakhmut was previously known as Artemovsk to honour a Soviet revolutionary before Ukraine renamed it. Before planning the transfer of control, Prigozhin readied troops on the western outskirts of the city. He said, If the ministry of defence does not have enough personnel, we have thousands of generals. Prigozhin has poured scathing criticism on Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and army chief of Staff Valery Gerasimov, accusing them of being incompetent and causing Moscows large-scale losses in the conflict in Ukraine. Wagner fighters have spearheaded Russias storming of Bakhmut and Prigozhins influence has risen hugely during Moscows Ukraine offensive. The Russian military claimed on Saturday that it has successfully captured the much-contested eastern Ukrainian city of Bakhmut. The Wagner Group led the all-out offensive in the city. Earlier in the day, Prigozhin said that his troops had finally pushed the Ukrainians out of the last built-up area inside the city. The Russian defence ministry said in a statement, As a result of offensive actions by Wagner assault units, supported by artillery and aviation of the Southern Group of Forces, the liberation of Artyomovsk has been completed. Vladimir Putin congratulated the assault units of Wagner as well as all servicemen of units of the Russian armed forces who provided them with the necessary support and flank cover, on the completion of the operation to liberate Artemovsk (the Soviet-era name for Bakhmut), TASS agency quoted the Kremlin saying.

BioMADE announced on its website on June 3 that it is looking for new ideas to reduce the CO2 emissions from food production and transport at military sites. These ideas include ""novel cell culture methods suitable for the production of cultivated meat or protein"" essentially a euphemism for lab-grown fake meat. Lab-grown meat is a new technology where animal muscle and fat tissues are grown from modified animal cells in special equipment. This process uses a mix of chemicals, pressure and temperature to create meat that resembles beef, chicken and pork. Though still in the experimental stage, lab-grown meat has sparked a debate about its efficiency and ethics of producing meat without killing animals. (Related: Lab-made chicken meat grown from CANCER CELLS receives FDA approval - Are you ready to eat TUMOR nuggets?) But according to a 2023 study by researchers at the University of California-Davis, the carbon footprint of lab-grown beef might be worse than that of the product it seeks to replace. It zoomed in on the use of highly refined or purified growth media, which is used to help animal cells multiply. They wrote that lab-grown meat using purified media in its production has a global warming potential four to 25 times greater than the average compared to the real thing.

Although the U.S. Department of Agriculture approved two California companies to sell cultured chicken to restaurants in 2023, some believe taxpayer money shouldnt fund the lab-grown meat industry. Jack Hubbard, executive director for the Center for the Environment and Welfare (CEW), was among the vocal critics of the plan. ""Taxpayer dollars should not be used to fund the lab-grown meat sector,"" he remarked. ""Our troops deserve better than to be served lab-grown meat, produced in bioreactors with immortalized cells and chemicals. Unfortunately, this effort is being driven by an agenda that is political and anti-farmer. Our soldiers should never be used as guinea pigs."" Even Ethan Lane, vice president for government affairs at the National Cattlemen's Beef Association, has criticized the DoD research grant that bankrolled BioMADE. ""It is outrageous that the DoD is spending millions of taxpayer dollars to feed our heroes like lab rats,"" he said in a statement. ""This misguided research project is a giant slap in the face to everyone that has served our country. Our veterans and active-duty troops deserve so much better than this.""

Along with representatives from the Mayors Office of Food Policy and the Mayors Office of Climate & Environmental Justice, Adams has announced the launch of a new carbon footprint and household food consumption tracking scheme that aims to reduce the Big Apples carbon emissions by 33 percent by the year 2030. In order to cut all that carbon, Adams and his allies are imposing new caps on meat that, as the name suggests, will limit the amount of meat that New Yorkers are allowed to purchase and consume at public institutions and eventually within their own homes as well. (Related: Last month, we warned you that Adams was planning to unleash a horrific new food policing apparatus against New Yorkers, and now he has.) Eric Adams wants all New Yorkers to become vegans At a pre-Earth Day event held at a Brooklyn culinary center run by NYC Health + Hospitals, the citys public health care system, Adams unveiled a chart depicting New York Citys greenhouse gas inventory. This inventory supposedly tracks the carbon footprint generated by household food consumption. With the help of American Express, C40 Cities, and EcoData, Adams revealed carbon emissions data about household food consumption, which was added to existing carbon emissions data on energy use, transportation, and waste. Commissioner Rohit Aggarwala from the NYC Department of Environmental Protection unveiled the new household food consumption data. Aggarwala, by the way, also founded the Google smart city subsidiary Sidewalk Labs, which collects data in order to forge a new standard for what cities have to do as a novel way to shape policy. While the inventory that Aggarwala presented will also now include greenhouse gas pollution from the production and consumption of consumer goods like clothing, air travel, and health care, Adams focused his efforts at the event specifically on the foods that New Yorkers consume mainly meat and dairy, which he personally opposes. Food is the third-biggest source of cities emissions right after buildings and transportation, but all food is not created equal, Adams unsubstantially stated. The vast majority of food that is contributing to our emission crisis lies in meat and dairy products. It is easy to talk about the emissions thats coming from buildings and how it impacts our environment, but we now have to talk about beef. And I dont know if people are ready for this conversation. Other than fish, Adams reportedly abides by a plant-based vegan diet, which he says helped him overcome diabetes. He wrote a vegan cookbook to promote his personal dietary choices, which he now wants all New Yorkers to follow in order to stop global warming. We already know that a plant-powered diet is better for your physical and mental health, and I am living proof of that, Adams declared. But the reality is that thanks to this new inventory, were finding out it is better for the planet. The simplistic way in which Adams couched his argument against meat and dairy has already been debunked by people who are actually educated in such things, including Melissa McKendree, PhD, an agricultural economist at Michigan State University. Different meats have different kinds of greenhouse gas footprints, McKendree clarified about how pasture-raised animals do not harm the environment like feedlot animals do.

Those that allow such statements shall be reminded that our country also has various weapons of mass destruction, including some that are more advanced than those in NATOs arsenal, he added, according to a translation of his remarks by Sky News. Accusations Against the WestPutin accused the West of seeking to weaken, divide and ultimately destroy Russia, according to an official Kremlin translation of part of his speech, which was posted on the Kremlin website. Claiming that Western powers had concocted these plans long ago, Putin said they fomented anti-Russia terrorist activity in the Caucasus, moved NATOs offensive infrastructure near his countrys borders, nurtured hatred for Russia for decades, and intended to set up Ukraine as an anti-Russia bridgehead. Russias Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu told Russian state television that Putins mobilization order would encompass reservists but wouldnt include students or anyone without prior military service. The Russian leadership has been reluctant to order a broad military mobilization, portraying the invasion of Ukraine as a special military operation thats limited in scope. Putins order marks the first time since World War Two that a military mobilization of Russian citizens has been invoked. Critical ReactionsPutins move drew critical reactions from Western leaders and Ukrainian officials. Bridget Brink, U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine, took to Twitter to describe Putins order as a sign of weakness and failure. Britains Defense Secretary Ben Wallace was cited by The Scotsman as saying that Putins order amounts to an admission of failure.

+EN_UA_022319.txt,"Shapps Says UK Facing Pre-War World and Cant Risk Cutting Defence Spending Defence Secretary Grant Shapps has said Britain is in a pre-war world and cannot afford to reduce spending on the military. In a major speech at Lancaster House in London, Mr. Shapps said the peace dividend that followed the end of the Cold War in the early 1990s was over. Mr. Shapps said: Because the era of the peace dividend is over, in five years time we could be looking at multiple theatres including Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. Ask yourself, looking at todays conflicts across the world, is it more likely that that number grows or reduces? I suspect we all know the answer. Its likely to grow, he added. Mr. Shapps also announced 20,000 British service personnel would take part in NATOs largest military exercises since the Cold War, following the announcement last week of a 2.5 billion support package to Ukraine. Over the weekend the RAF carried out air strikes with U.S. forces on the Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen, after they targeted merchant shipping in their campaign against Israel. The British government has set a goal of increasing defence spending to 2.5 percent of GDP, but Mr. Shapps has argued it should rise to 3 percent. His speech on Mondayin front of an audience including top brass in the British militarymight be seen as pushing the argument for increased defence spending. Mr. Shapps said, We made the critical decision to set out our aspiration to reach 2.5 percent of GDP on defence, and as we stabilise and grow this economy well continue to strive to reach that as soon as possible. But now is the time for all allied and democratic nations across the world to do the same thing and ensure their defence spending is growing too, he added. The Tanks Are Literally on Europes Ukrainian LawnThe defence secretary said: An age of idealism has been replaced by a period of hard-headed realism. Today our adversaries are busy rebuilding their barriers, old enemies are reanimated, new foes are taking shape, battle lines are being redrawn. The tanks are literally on Europes Ukrainian lawn and the foundations of the world order being shaken to their core, he added. Mr. Shapps refused to rule out further action against the Houthis following the weekend attacks. He said the strike against the Houthis was a single action but added, We will now monitor very carefully to see what they do next, how they respond and we will see from there. Later Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he would not hesitate to protect British shipping in the Red Sea. Mr. Sunak told Sky News, As weve said, not just to the Houthis but to their Iranian masters, in a sense, because they are really proxies for Tehran, this cannot go on. Freedom of navigation is just a given and always has been for many years. We cannot have that situation where they are trying to harass it, and we will keep a very close eye. If we have to take further action, that is something that we will consider, he said. He added, They should be aware that if it doesnt stop then of course we will then have to take the decisions that need to be taken.",['Other'],['Other'],0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

This type of bilateral cooperation has set a good example for the EU by adhering to the principle of mutual benefit and addressing differences through dialogue and consultation, experts said. On Friday, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lin Jian announced that Sjourn will pay a visit to China on Monday at the invitation of Member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee and Minister of Foreign Affairs Wang Yi. During Sjourn's visit, the two countries are expected to focus on bilateral economic and trade relations, solving problems encountered in cooperation, and creating a better business environment for enterprises of both sides, Cong Yi, a professor at the Tianjin University of Finance and Economics, told the Global Times on Sunday. In addition, they may strengthen communication and cooperation in international affairs and jointly address global challenges such as climate change and public health, Cong noted. This year marks the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and France. France will be the guest country of honor at the China International Fair for Trade in Services 2024 and the seventh China International Import Expo. Over the past six decades, the two countries have adhered to mutual benefit and win-win outcomes, with economic and trade cooperation becoming increasingly closer, experts noted. ""China and France eye faster growth in traditional areas including agricultural products, aviation and civilian nuclear power,"" Cong said. Under the mechanism ""from French farms to Chinese tables,"" the two countries have reaped fruitful achievements in agricultural products. As an important source of China's agricultural and food imports, France is China's top agricultural import market and second-largest agricultural trading partner in the EU. For many years, France has been the largest supplier of bottled still and sparkling wines to China. According to the China Association for Imports and Export of Wines and Spirits, China's wine imports in 2022 amounted to about $1.43 billion, with an import volume of 335,300 kiloliters, of which three countries - France, Chile and Italy - accounted for nearly 80 percent. In 2022, France's wine exports to China totaled $661.9 million. In addition, France was the first Western country to sign an air transportation agreement with China and the first Western country to cooperate with China in civilian nuclear energy, according to new.china.com. ""The digital economy will become an important area of economic and trade cooperation between China and France. The two sides can launch in-depth collaboration in artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing and other fields,"" Cong said. The two countries also have extensive room for cooperation in the field of clean energy, and they can jointly develop and promote new-energy technologies to help transform the global energy structure, he noted. Moreover, cooperation between China and France in the fields of the economy, trade, science and technology has demonstrated the broad prospects and great potential of China-EU cooperation, which has helped to enhance the confidence of both sides in cooperation between China and Europe, Cong said.",['Other'],['Other'],0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

Ukraines General Staff acknowledged on Monday that Russia currently is achieving tactical success after driving a wedge into Kyivs defences. Russias defence ministry said on Monday that troops had improved the tactical position and dealt a blow to (Ukrainian) manpower around border villages including Lyptsi and the town of Vovchansk. They are shelling the villages, firing on everything they can, Sergiy Kryvetchenko, deputy head of the military administration in the village of Lyptsi, told AFP. The KABs (guided aerial bombs) are flying. The artillery is flying. Drones. Everything, he said.On Friday, Russia began an offensive across its border into the Kharkiv region and later claimed to have taken several villages in the region near the border. The situation in the Kharkiv region is complex and dynamically changing, with Russian troops mounting assaults in various areas, Ukraines General Staff said. Kharkiv regional governor Oleg Synegubov wrote on social media that over the last day, more than 30 towns and villages were struck by enemy artillery and mortar attacks, wounding at least nine people. Some areas were also bombed by Russian aircraft, Synegubov added. A total of 5,762 people have been evacuated from their homes since the start of the offensive, the governor said. Over the course of Sunday, Russia carried out 22 assaults in five border areas, 14 of which were still ongoing, the General Staff said. The General Staff said fighting was ongoing for the border town of Vovchansk, where Russia was deploying significant forces. numbering up to five battalions. Vovchansk, which previously had a population of 2,500 but now has only 200-300 residents, suffered massive shelling on Sunday that hit houses and wounded seven, said Synegubov. A 69-year-old man was also wounded in the town of Izyum by detonating ammunition and a woman was injured in a village near the town of Kupiansk. The city of Kharkiv itself had not been struck over the last 24 hours, however, he said. Synegubov said on national television that the grey zone and the front line are expanding because Russia is trying to deliberately stretch it, attacking in small groups in new directions. The DeepState Telegram channel, which is close to the Ukrainian army, wrote that Russia had taken pockets of territory measuring around 100 square kilometres (39 square miles). Russia continues to advance to Vovchansk, the channel said. They are gaining foothold on the outskirts for further entry into the town. Russia was also advancing towards the border village of Lyptsi and attempting to enter the nearby village of Glyboke, it said. Ukraine was mounting constant fire, including from drones, but unfortunately it does not stop them. The Russian defence ministry said troops had repelled Ukrainian counterattacks near Glyboke. Rybar, a Russian Telegram channel with military links, said Moscows offensive led to territorial gains because troops took some villages where Russian soldiers already had a presence and others that were deserted wastelands. As of Monday morning, there were no large-scale breakthroughs of the enemys defences, Rybar said.

The lies to generate fear and justify dystopia are absolutely shocking A top mosquito expert has blasted Professor Dame Jenny Harriess claim that climate change will make dengue fever and other mosquito-borne diseases common in the U.K. within 20 years, branding it entirely fictional and shameless. Professor Harries, who heads the U.K. Health Security Agency (UKHSA), recently said that rising temperatures will make such diseases common in the U.K. by 2040 because the Asian Tiger Mosquito which can transmit dengue, chikungunya, zika, yellow fever and other viral diseases will become established throughout Britain. Dengue will become endemic in London, she claimed. But Professor Paul Reiter, retired Professor of Insects and Infectious Diseases at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, and a leading expert in mosquito-borne diseases, has ridiculed her claims. He told Net Zero Watch: The natural range of the Tiger mosquito, an Asian species, extends from the tropics to regions where mean January temperatures are around 10C. Northern strains are able to survive because in late summer, as days grow shorter, the eggs they lay are dormant and remain unhatched until spring arrives. It is true that since the late 1970s, there has been rapid global spread of the Tiger mosquito to the United States, Latin America, Europe and across Africa, probably mainly via the global trade in used tyres. Professor Reiter says that it is beyond doubt that this has nothing at all to do with temperature. Professor Reiter has also lambasted fearmongering about the return of malaria, noting that this was once a major cause of death in many parts of England, even during the Little Ice Age from the 1300s to the 1800s, and its disappearance was, once again, nothing to do with temperature: Shakespeare mentions malaria the ague 13 times, so it was clearly once common here. The disease began to decline for a multitude of reasons in the mid-19th century, despite the upward trend in global temperatures. Net Zero Watch Director Andrew Montford said: This is not the first time we have seen the Civil Service misleading the public in this way. Science is being misused to generate fear and to nudge us in a desired direction. This kind of shameful disinformation brings the Civil Service into disrepute. But it seems our public officials wont miss an opportunity to bang the climate alarmist drum as they attempt to cajole and coerce the public into accepting radical cuts in living standards to ward off threats based solely on the perennially wrong outputs of biased computer models.

The entire show fits in with their demonic vaccination operation. The Russian attack will finish what the vaccinations and the sanctions started This is the work of mad people. This is the work of Satan. The West represents human civilization at its peak. And war is part of the plan to reverse that. Putin has stated that being cut off from Swift is equivalent to a nuclear attack. The consequence of which must entail a retaliatory nuclear attack. That is the conclusion we must read into that statement. Part of the reason for attacking Ukraine was to get rid of the nazis and junkies. The USA is the symbolic embodiment of both. The problem for Russia is the Antichrist not Biden. He it is who is behind the vaccinations, degeneracy, economic implosion, religious sellout and finally nuclear war. If I am aware of him Im sure, as Prince Charles of England has hinted, others are aware of him as well. Not sure but I believe most Western leaders are as well, having signed up to the genocide via voluntary injection. His next objective is mandatory injection and for that they need sprawling camp detentions everywhere. Once detained these people will be subjected to torture then killed as they do not fit into their plans. Western leaders have already fallen and unless they are forcefully replaced by the popular vote they are the central core of the satanic plan unfolding like clockwork. However by taking out the USA, the rest of Europe will fold to Putin and the tough threats will not be ignored and the Antichrist will be defeated. America will still survive but it will be freed from demonic entrapment with the intent to enslavement.

It comes as the battalion - led by an ultra dubbed The Spaniard - steps up recruitment in a desperate bid to boost ranks as Russian invaders continue to meet stiff Ukrainian resistance. The brigade, named Espanola, is filled with thugs from the terraces and has now been given special status among armed forces backing Vladimir Putin. Hooligans were recruited too, but now the unit is classed as a separate private military company, with the go-ahead to expand recruitment. The ultras are urged: ""Get into the coolest adventures of your life with a real chance to come back alive from these scrapes. They are promised a decent reward for turning their violent instincts on Ukraine. More on Russia Former Russian international footballer Andrey Solomatin, 47, has signed up.

Recently we managed to get separate status. So now we do not belong to any battalions or divisions."" Most read in Football Orlov, whose call sign is ""Spaniard"", said they had been given approval to create a separate battalion, Espanola. The hooligans battalion is 550 strong, including 100 operators of kamikaze drones used to attack Ukraine, he said. The fighters say they are being equipped by football supporters from across Russia. Orlov said: There are a huge number of them. All over Russia, in fact - in different cities there are different football teams. We tell them what we need [and they provide it]."" Five years ago, Putins regime desperately tried to crackdown on Russian hooligans and ultras - using an FSB crackdown to stop them ruining the FIFA World Cup, which Putin hosted. In 2016, Russian hooligans were in pitch battles with English fans at the UEFA Euro tournament in France. Now they are formalised as an armed force, and seen as heroes. Espanola is currently recruiting stormtroopers, scout-saboteurs, snipers, drone operators, electronic warfare and air defence operators, portable ground reconnaissance station operators, anti-tank guided missile operators, anti aircraft specialists, communications specialists, mechanic-drivers, and medics. Would-be fighters are told they will take a quick but deep course of study in all directions with a real opportunity - or rather the need - to become a universal soldier. They will become a real military man and benefit the Motherland without delay. And the stadium fighters will get access and learn how to work with the most modern weapons, equipment and technologies"". Sniper detachments are provided with all the most advanced technologies this applies to transport, equipment, and of course [guns]. Recruits are told they may not be hooligans, but they should be close to us in spirit and comply with the main principles of Espaola in life. Recruitment sessions have been held in Moscow and St Petersburg, as well as other cities. They boast recruits from the hooligan armies of clubs like CSKA, Zenit, Spartak, Torpedo and Lokomotiv and the notorious Orel Butchers.

""I was honored to meet with President @ZelenskyyUa in Kyiv today to reaffirm the United States steadfast support for Ukraine,"" Austin wrote on X. ""We, along with our allies and partners, will continue to support Ukraines urgent battlefield needs and long-term defense requirements,"" Austin added. This convenient shift of Washington and the Pentagon to talking mainly about ""long-term defense"" began occurring as it became clear Ukraine's counteroffensive was failing. But Congress has been dragging its feet on passing Biden's latest supplemental funding requests - again given there's been some wrangling over what gets sent to Israel vs. what's set aside for Ukraine. This is Austin's second trip to Kiev since the Russian invasion. ""Im here today to deliver an important message the United States will continue to stand with Ukraine in their fight for freedom against Russias aggression, both now and into the future,"" he said. Just last week, CIA Director William Burns also made a secretive, unannounced visit to Ukraine to hold urgent meetings with Zelensky and top military and intelligence officials. Commentary in Asia Times has concluded that this flurry of activity is in response to how badly things are going on the battlefield. Washington has invested many tens of billions of dollars into what's clearly a 'proxy war' against Russia. Asia Times wrote: Wednesday, November 15th is Z-Day for the War in Ukraine. CIA Chief William Burns will arrive in Kiev for urgent, secret meetings with Zelensky. It is worth asking: How come Burns is on an urgent mission to Ukraine? The answer to the question is that Ukraine is imploding. The crumbling of the Zelensky regime is unsurprising: Ukraine has been sustaining far too many casualties to survive for much longer. Ukraine either must find a way to make a deal with Russia or face an internal rebellion. Indeed, there have been recent media rumors and rumblings that Washington has begun to quietly push Kiev to the negotiating table. Was this in any way the focus of these new visits by Burns and Austin? ""The Russian strategy is to bleed-down Ukraines armed forces and create a political crisis in Kiev,"" the Asia Times report continued.

+EN_UA_010909.txt,"The Downing of Malaysian Airlines MH17: The Quest for Truth and Justice. Review of the Evidence by Prof Michel Chossudovsky, Global Research: Eight years ago, on 17 July 2014, Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17) was shot down in Eastern Ukraine. In recent development, A Netherlands Court on November 17, 2022 found the Kremlin responsible for the alleged attack: two Russians and a separatist Ukrainian were identified as guilty of mass murder for their involvement in the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight 17. The media has highlighted the downing of MH17 in the context of the war in Ukraine. The Court ruling is fraudulent, based on fabricated evidence. TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/ *** This background text was prepared in the context of the Kuala Lumpur MH17 Conference entitled MH17: The Quest for Justice, organized by JUST, the PGPF and the CRG in August 2019. This comprehensive report provides detailed evidence that Russia was not involved in the downing of MH17. It also confirms the insidious role of Ukraines intelligence agency. **** The underlying objective is to examine the evidence, reveal the truth and uphold the rule of law. Today, July 29th 2021, our thoughts are with the families of the victims of the Malaysian Airlines MH17 tragedy. The 2019 Conference was dedicated to the memory of the victims. It is also a national tragedy for the people of Malaysia. The downing of MH17 with 283 passengers and 15 crew on board, took place barely a few months following the mysterious disappearance of Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 after departing on March 8, 2014 from Kuala Lumpur for Beijing, with 227 passengers and 12 crew members on board. It is worth recalling that immediately after the MH17 plane crash on July 17 2014, prior to the conduct of a preliminary investigation, Secretary of State John Kerry and US Ambassador to the UN Samantha Power pointed their finger at Moscow without a shred of evidence. In turn, the allegations directed against Russia were used to justify the imposition of sweeping economic sanctions against the Russian Federation. According to President Obama (hours after the tragedy): the downing of MH17 should be a wake-up call to Europe to get serious about confronting Russia over Ukraine after EU leaders have proved reluctant to impose tought sanctions. (Telegraph, July 18,2019) The Wall Street Journal reports (July 18, 2014) that Obama is getting his wish and Brussels is now weighing new sanctions: European governments, jolted by the downing of a passenger plane over eastern Ukraine that killed nearly 300 people, are contemplating a major expansion of sanctions on Russia as early as next week. European Union leaders decided in recent days to expand the penalties to a broad new category of people and companies. But the apparent shooting down of a plane carrying more than 200 EU citizens has intensified a desire to act quickly and forcefully, including sanctions against oligarchs with ties to the Kremlin. In Brussels, some diplomats described the incident as a game-changer. It would have major consequences if it was certain it came from the rebels major consequences, said one official. (WSJ, July 18, 2014) On July 22, 2014, The European Union decided to expand its sanctions blacklist against Moscow including Vladimir Putins inner circle. EU foreign ministers decided to draw up further broad measures including an arms embargo and financial restrictions on Russian businesses, following the downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17.

The DEB program has expanded as of September to another 11 sites, six of these powered through solar power plants (SPPs) that were installed in collaboration with Pertamina New & Renewable Energy (PNRE), a subsidiary that specializes in new and renewable energy. The six new DEB locations are: Singapure village in Lahat regency, South Sumatra; Tambakharjo subdistrict in Semarang, Central Java; Eka Jaya subdistrict in Jambi province; Tasikharjo district in Tuban regency, East Java; Larangan village in Cirebon, West Java; and Adat Kedonganan village in Badung, Bali. In addition to infrastructure development, the DEB program also empowers communities in accelerating energy equity by utilizing local energy sources to deliver power to remote villages. Pertamina vice president corporate communication Fadjar Djoko Santoso said Pertamina would continue to provide access to renewables for all Indonesians so they ultimately achieved energy and economic self-reliance. ""We are continuing our journey to provide opportunities and accelerate the energy transition for the public, such as through the DEB program, which can be beneficial in stimulating economic activity,"" Fadjar said. Tasikharjo village is one tangible example of Pertaminas support for local economies through the DEB program. The village is using solar energy to power local micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), such as Batik Sekar Tanjung, Jahit Sekar Tanjung and Ethical Creative Tasikharjo. Meanwhile, Tambakharjo subdistrict is using solar photovoltaic (PV) panels to power the activities of the Pujasera Energy Culinary Kampung. Solar energy is also being harnessed to support a variety of activities in Kedonganan village that impact the regions community-based economy, including the operation of its reduce, reuse, recycle waste management facility (TPS3R). Solar PV panels is also used to generate renewable energy in the villages of Eka Jaya, Larangan and Singapure to support the activities of aquaponics, aquaculture and agriculture MSMEs, including a coffee farm, as well as other MSMEs that stimulate economic and social development. ""The use of renewable and environmentally friendly energy, which never runs out, greatly enhances the productivity of coffee bean processing and other business production, early childhood schools and other public institutions, such as Posyandu [integrated health services posts], said Singapure village head Aristo Hasan. This improves the quality of life for residents of Singapure village and also broadens our understanding of environmentally friendly, renewable energy that can help the government mitigate climate change,"" Aristo added. Since Pertamina launched the DEB program in 2019, the program has generated benefits that include 170,880 watt-peak (Wp) of solar energy, 605,000 cubic meters per year of biogas and methane, 8,000 Wp of microhydropower, 6,500 liters of biodiesel per year and 16,500 Wp of solar-wind hybrid energy. In addition to its energy impact, the DEB program has also positively impacted 3,201 households, contributing to an estimate of Rp 1.8 billion in added value per year through overall multiplier effect. The program has also contributed to reducing carbon emissions by 565,928 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2eq) per year. As part of Pertaminas CSER initiative, the DEB program supports the company's environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) principles. The program is also in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly in achieving SDG 7 on Affordable and Clean Energy, SDG 8 on Decent Work and Economic Growth, and SDG 13 on Climate Action. Moreover, the DEB program is a concrete action Pertamina is taking to contribute to the government's 2060 net zero emissions goal.

Many Thousands Of Deaths Later A very short while ago, any US politician or media pundit publicly calling for peace negotiations in Ukraine with Russia's Putin was branded 'pro-Kremlin' and somehow compromised. For example, mainstream media has sought to isolate and cancel thinkers like John Mearsheimer for his realism toward Moscow and the conflict, and urging immediate ceasefire which would require territorial concessions from Kiev. It was only in September that one prominent publication branded him ""the world's most hated thinker."" But now, at a moment Ukraine's leadership itself has become more desperate while admitting its forces are facing almost insurmountable odds, the D.C. beltway consensus has clearly and drastically changed, and now it's apparently okay to admit the following... The War Street Journal acknowledges that the narratives its been pushing for months of a successful Ukrainian counteroffensive, a possible palace coup in Moscow, a Russian economy in tatters are Magical Thinking. In other words, their coverage has been a fraud. pic.twitter.com/ZxB25W61Kn David Sacks (@DavidSacks) November 16, 2023 The WSJ piece actually calls for a longer-term strategy of confronting Russia, while also admitting that Washington's approach thus far has been based on ""magical thinking"". Or else we might just call the establishment narrative to this point fraudulent: What Western leaders conspicuously havent done is level with their publics about the enduring nature of the threat from an emboldened, revisionist Russia. They have indulged all too often in magical thinkingbetting on sanctions, a successful Ukrainian counter-offensive or the transfer of new types of weapons to force the Kremlin to come to the negotiating table. Or they have hoped to see Putin overthrown in a palace coup. Elsewhere in the article, the authors point out that contrary to how the Wagner rebellion was widely presented in Western press, the reality is that whole episode actually strengthened Putin: As Russian President Vladimir Putin looks toward the second anniversary of his all-out assault on Ukraine, his self-confidence is hard to miss. A much-anticipated Ukrainian counter-offensive has not achieved the breakthrough that would give Kyiv a strong hand to negotiate. Tumult in the Middle East dominates the headlines, and bipartisan support for Ukraine in the U.S. has been upended by polarization and dysfunction in Congress... Putin has reason to believe that time is on his side. At the front line, there are no indications that Russia is losing what has become a war of attrition. The Russian economy has been buffeted, but it is not in tatters. Putins hold on power was, paradoxically, strengthened following Yevgeny Prigozhins failed rebellion in June. Popular support for the war remains solid, and elite backing for Putin has not fractured. The tragedy is that so many people from both sides died for a year for nothing Elon Musk (@elonmusk) November 16, 2023 Of course, none of this has stopped Zelensky as well as his friends in US Congress from seeking to push through more billions in American taxpayer aid for Ukraine. On a global level too, Moscow has made inroads and gotten closer with other well-armed powers who find themselves in Washington's crosshairs... Zelensky has recently complained that ""Russia's goal"" to take the global focus away from the Ukraine war is working, particularly against the backdrop of the Israel-Hamas conflict and rising tensions in the Middle East. But certainly for now, Ukraine has taken a far backseat among the list of current Biden administration priorities, it seems.

Swedens Prosecution Authority is bringing charges against none other than their homegrown eco-hoaxer, Greta Thunberg, for disobeying law enforcement during a climate protest in June. The 20-year-old is facing potential fines or imprisonment of up to six months. The charges stem from her involvement in a protest that allegedly led to major traffic disruption in Malm in June, authorities said. The prosecutor has filed charges against a young woman who, on June 19 this year, participated in a climate demonstration which, according to the prosecution, caused disruption to traffic in Malm, the statement said. The woman refused to obey the police command to leave the scene, it added according to CNN. While the prosecution authoritys statement did not specifically name Thunberg, a spokesperson for the Swedish Prosecution Authority, Annika Collin, confirmed to CNN that the individual referred to in the charges is indeed Greta Thunberg. The criminal classification is disobedience to law enforcement. According to the prosecutor, the act was committed with intent, the prosecution authoritys statement added. Irma Kjellstrm, a spokesperson for Ta Tillbaka Framtiden, told CNN that Thunberg was among several young people who participated in blocking the oil tankers. Kjellstrm added, After having blocked the industry which is burning our future, we have now been charged with crime. While charges are being brought against us, the real crime continues inside the gates that we blocked. Recently, Greta Thunberg was back in the news after her prediction that the world would end in 2023 was a conspiracy.

The UK further suggested that the Kremlin currently is maintain[ing] links with former officials including Serhiy Arbuzov, a former deputy prime minister of Ukraine between 2012 to 2014; Andriy Kluyev, first deputy prime minister from 2010 to 2012; former deputy chief of Ukraines National Security and Defense Council Vladimir Sivkovich; and Mykola Azarov, the prime minister of Ukraine from 2010 to 2014. Whats more, the UK statement alleges that former Ukrainian Parliament Member Yevhen Murayev is being considered by Russias leadership as a potential candidate to lead the Ukrainian government. The UK did not provide evidence for its claim. Foreign Secretary Liz Truss asserted, however, that Moscow must deescalate tensions and end its campaigns of aggression and disinformation, and pursue a path of diplomacy. But over the weekend, Russian officials said the UKs Foreign Office should stop publishing nonsense and disinformation. The embassy further alleged that the UKs strategy is to accuse Russia of plotting inevitable invasion of Ukraine and try to play the role of an ideological leader, defending itself from autocrats and aiming to free the world. Murayev, meanwhile, responded to the UKs statement by dismissing the claim. In a message to Reuters, Mykhailo Podolyak, a Ukrainian adviser to the presidential office, said the allegations should be taken seriously, acknowledged there was doubt among Ukrainians as to whether Murayev was too ridiculous a figure to be the Kremlins pick to lead Ukraine. But he added that Russia had propped up previously minor figures in leadership positions in annexed Crimea and separatist-held Donbass. Therefore one should take this information as seriously as possible, he said. On Saturday, U.S. National Security Council spokeswoman Emily Horne appeared to endorse the UK assessment that the Kremlin is plotting to install a Moscow-friendly puppet administration.

Ukraine has accused Russian forces of capturing mayors in Dniprorudne and Melitopol in recent days, sparking concerns that additional mayors could be kidnapped next, including the mayor of the country's capital city. Klitschko, who was a highly regarded world heavyweight boxing champion before entering politics, insisted during a Fox News interview on Monday that any Russian soldiers who hope to capture him would find that their task was ""not easy."" ""I am ready to fight,"" Klitschko said after America Reports host John Roberts asked him about a potential kidnapping attempt. ""This will be not easy to do that ... nobody feels safety in our country right now in this very difficult situation. Everyone [is] ready to fight, ready to defend our city.""

Russia went on to appoint a Moscow-friendly mayor in Melitopol. While commenting on the kidnapping of Fedorov, which was partially captured on video, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky asserted that ""the actions of Russian invaders will be equated with the actions of ISIS terrorists."" Klitschko suggested that the kidnappings were part of a pattern of ""un-human"" Russian troops choosing to ignore the international rules of war, noting that mayors are civilian targets. ""War also has rules,"" said Klitschko. ""But Russians [don't] want the rules ... what they want is the symbol ... they can't break the mood of the people and that's why they kidnap the mayors."" ""Its actually against all rules,"" Klitschko continued. ""We see how unfriendly, how un-human activity make Russians in our land.""

John Fetterman (D-Pa.) draped himself in an Israel flag as he joined the nearly 300,000 people gathered on the National Mall in Washington, DC, Tuesday in support of the Jewish state as it wages war against Hamas terrorists. The Pennsylvania Democrat was photographed at the March for Israel rally with the blue and white flag wrapped over his trademark hoodie as he greeted attendees. Fetterman has been unequivocal in his staunch support of Israel since Hamas Oct. 7 terrorist attack despite facing some left-wing backlash over his stance. Of course Im here, how could I not! Fetterman told one rally-goer, according to an attendees X post. A sharp-eyed X user pointed out that Fetterman used the strings on his hoodie to affix the flag to himself in the most bipartisan act Ive ever seen from a Senator. Fettermans fondness for the Israeli flag triggered several pro-Palestinian protesters outside the US Capitol last week, after the senator emerged from the building waving a small Star of David flag above his head as some demonstrators were being arrested. Shame! What a joke! some of the booing protesters shouted as Fetterman strolled by. In his office, the senator also displays the posters of the innocent Israelis kidnapped by Hamas terrorists during their deadly raid which also killed 1,200 people. They will stay up until every single person is safely returned home, Fetterman noted in a video posted on X. Fetterman has also argued against a cease-fire in the conflict, which has reportedly angered some of his supporters and former staffers. Now is not the time to talk about a ceasefire. We must support Israel in efforts to eliminate the Hamas terrorists who slaughtered innocent men, women, and children, the former lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania said in anOct. 18 post on X. Hamas does not want peace, they want to destroy Israel. We can talk about a ceasefire after Hamas is neutralized.

Will apes sing odd notes? Researchers will be standing by to observe how animals routines at the Fort Worth Zoo in Texas are disrupted when skies dim on April 8, The Associated Press reported. They previously detected other strange animal behaviors in 2017 at a South Carolina zoo that was in the path of total darkness. To our astonishment, most of the animals did surprising things, said Adam Hartstone-Rose, a North Carolina State University researcher who led the observations published in the journal Animals. While there are many individual sightings of critters behaving bizarrely during historic eclipses, only in recent years have scientists started to rigorously study the altered behaviors of wild, domestic and zoo animals. Seven years ago, Galapagos tortoises at the Riverbanks Zoo in Columbia, South Carolina, that generally do absolutely nothing all day ... during the peak of the eclipse, they all started breeding, said Hartstone-Rose. The cause of the behavior is still unclear. A mated pair of Siamangs, gibbons that usually call to each other in the morning, sang unusual tunes during the afternoon eclipse. A few male giraffes began to gallop in apparent anxiety. The flamingos huddled around their juveniles. Researchers say that many animals display behaviors connected with an early dusk. In April, Hartstone-Roses team plans to study similar species in Texas to see if the behaviors they witnessed before in South Carolina point to larger patterns. Several other zoos along the path are also inviting visitors to help track animals, including zoos in Little Rock, Arkansas; Toledo, Ohio; and Indianapolis. This years full solar eclipse in North America crisscrosses a different route than in 2017 and occurs in a different season, giving researchers and citizen scientists opportunities to observe new habits. Its really high stakes. We have a really short period to observe them and we cant repeat the experiment,"" said Jennifer Tsuruda, a University of Tennessee entomologist who observed honeybee colonies during the 2017 eclipse. The honeybees that Tsuruda studied decreased foraging during the eclipse, as they usually would at night, except for those from the hungriest hives. During a solar eclipse, theres a conflict between their internal rhythms and external environment, said University of Alberta's Olav Rueppell, adding that bees rely on polarized light from the sun to navigate. Nate Bickford, an animal researcher at Oregon Institute of Technology, said that solar eclipses actually mimic short, fast-moving storms, when skies darken and many animals take shelter. After the 2017 eclipse, he analyzed data from tracking devices previously placed on wild species to study habitat use. Flying bald eagles change the speed and direction theyre moving during an eclipse, he said. So do feral horses, probably taking cover, responding to the possibility of a storm out on the open plains. The last full US solar eclipse to span coast to coast happened in late summer, in August. The upcoming eclipse in April gives researchers an opportunity to ask new questions including about potential impacts on spring migration. Most songbird species migrate at night. When there are night-like conditions during the eclipse, will birds think its time to migrate and take flight? said Andrew Farnsworth of Cornell University. His team plans to test this by analyzing weather radar data which also detects the presence of flying birds, bats and insects to see if more birds take wing during the eclipse. As for indoor pets, they may react as much to what their owners are doing whether theyre excited or nonchalant about the eclipse as to any changes in the sky, said University of Arkansas animal researcher Raffaela Lesch. Dogs and cats pay a lot of attention to us, in addition to their internal clocks, she said. When a total solar eclipse transforms day into night, will tortoises start acting romantic?

Earlier this month, the Ukrainian ministry identified the unit as those responsible for the alleged rape and murder of innocent Ukrainians. The barbarous pack, headed by Lieutenant Colonel Azatbek Omurbekov - dubbed the Butcher of Bucha - left a trail of death and destruction in their wake.

Women and children were also found by Ukrainian soldiers, having been raped and then murdered. Most read in News The barbaric troops are believed to have conducted the Bucha slaughter as they scarpered from Kyiv after their botched attempt to take the Ukrainian capital.

The countrys defence ministry claimed troops were being sent to the ""hottest spots"" in the hope they will be slaughtered by Ukrainian fighters before they can testify before a war crime tribunal. The Kremlin has continued to deny accusations its troops committed war crimes in Ukraine after suggesting chilling pictures of dead bodies strewn across Kyiv streets were staged by Ukraine and the West.

The Russian Defence Ministry said four of the U.S.delivered Army Tactical Missile System (ATACMS) missiles, equipped with cluster warheads, were shot down by air defense systems and the ammunition of a fifth had detonated in mid-air. Footage on Russian state television showed people running from a beach and some people being carried off on sun loungers. Russian authorities in Crimea said missile fragments had fallen just after noon near a beach on the north side of the city of Sevastopol where locals were on holiday. The incident generated a furious reaction among Russian public figures. The Defense Ministry said U.S. specialists had set the missiles flight coordinates on the basis of information from U.S. spy satellites, meaning Washington was directly responsible. Responsibility for the deliberate missile attack on the civilians of Sevastopol is borne above all by Washington, which supplied these weapons to Ukraine, and by the Kyiv regime, from whose territory this strike was carried out, the ministry said. Russia sent its troops into Ukraine on Feb. 24, 2022. The United States began supplying Ukraine with longer range ATACMS missiles, which have a 300-kilometre (186-mile) range, earlier this year. Treating the InjuredSevastopol Governor Mihail Razvozhaev put the death toll at four, with 144 injured, including 82 taken to hospitals. Twenty-seven children were among the injured. Specialist doctors were being flown in from other parts of Russia. Russia will respond to Sundays attack, the Defense Ministry said, without elaborating. The Kremlin said President Vladimir Putin had been in constant contact with the military since the attack. Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Security Council, described the incident as a vile, despicable act against our people. He likened it to attacks carried out by gunmen on Sunday against a synagogue, a church, and police post in Dagestan and said there was no difference to us between the U.S. administration, Ukrainian leaders, and crazy fanatics. Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill said there was no justification whatsoever for a missile strike on civilians and expressed indignation that the incident occurred on the Orthodox holiday of Trinity. Neither Ukraine nor the United States has commented on the attack, which came on a day when Ukraine said one person had been killed and 10 others wounded by Russian strikes on the eastern Ukrainian city of Kharkiv.","['URW: Blaming the war on others rather than the invader', 'URW: Blaming the war on others rather than the invader', 'URW: Russia is the Victim', 'URW: Russia is the Victim']","['URW: Blaming the war on others rather than the invader: The West are the aggressors', 'URW: Blaming the war on others rather than the invader: Ukraine is the aggressor', 'URW: Russia is the Victim: UA is anti-RU extremists', 'URW: Russia is the Victim: Other']",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,0
+EN_CC_100044.txt,"The bottom-up Brussels green revolution A Belgian regions environmental and social conditions for research funding offer a possible model for the EU. By Anthony King In the EU and Belgian capital Brussels, Barbara Trachte reflects the strengths of a third governmental layer in Europe: its numerous regions. Trachte is secretary of state of the Brussels-Capital Region responsible for the economic transition and scientific research. The first member of Belgiums French-speaking Green party to be put in charge of an economic portfolio, she shows the scope for bottom-up EU policy changes. Setting an example Trachte helped put in place a Brussels law that, starting in 2024, has made regional subsidies for research organisations, companies, public administrations and civil society conditional on respect for social and environmental standards. She believes the EU should do the same for its 95.5 billion research programme known as Horizon Europe. Sometimes you need a revolution or at least a mini revolution, Trachte told Horizon Magazine. She said that Europes regions have a key role to play in advancing the continents transition to a net-zero economy. With the EU seeking to become climate neutral by 2050 under the European Green Deal, Horizon Europe has placed increasing emphasis on projects to hasten the switch towards clean energy and away from fossil fuels and to ensure the process is socially fair. Already the third-biggest part of the EU budget, Horizon Europe would have even greater impact on green and social matters across the continent by following the example set by the Brussels-Capital Region. In a nutshell, 50 million of subsidies granted annually by the region for research and innovation require recipients to respect a do-no-harm principle and have a positive impact on the environment or social equality, according to Stephanie Lepczynski, who is Trachtes policy adviser. We are showing the way and we hope that this can influence the European Commission by encouraging it to put environmental, social and governance criteria into the eligibility of Horizon projects, Lepczynski said at the European Research and Innovation Days event in Brussels on 20-21 March 2024. Secrets to success Gender and transborder-cooperation requirements currently in place for EU funding help ensure greater diversity in research teams and produce scientific results that better reflect the make-up of society, according to Lepczynski. She said that social and environmental conditionality in Horizon Europe would force researchers systematically to check that theyre acting for the common good and help ensure that funding advances EU green and social goals. Trachte said such conditions will also be merited in the successor programme of Horizon Europe, which runs for seven years through 2027. I wish for the next EU framework programme to decide the same to have a greater impact and make a bigger contribution to the objectives of the European Green Deal, she said. For Trachte, EU projects can have the most impact where academic, industry, government, civil society and the environment interact. This is known as the quintuple helix approach to innovation. It has led governments increasingly to prioritise public involvement in innovation processes. This ensures that research is rooted in society and geared towards finding solutions to todays major societal challenges such as climate degradation, growing socio-economic inequalities or democracies, Trachte said. Mission driven She singled out as particularly important the five Horizon Europe Missions: adapting to climate change, fighting cancer, restoring oceans, cleaning up soil and establishing 100 climate-neutral and smart cities by 2030. The five Missions are a very innovative tool to make the societal challenges stand out in particular the triple crisis of climate, biodiversity and pollution and the health challenges related to it, Trachte said. In Brussels, the Climate-Neutral and Smart Cities Mission was notably successful in bringing together regional and local administrations as well as other partners from the private sector. The enthusiasm created behind the Missions has mobilised many different actors, Trachte said. The views of the interviewees dont necessarily reflect those of the European Commission.

Issued on: But her ""weapon"" isn't one of destruction: it just won the 33-year-old deaf athlete a gold medal at the Deaflympics in Brazil. Thousands of kilometers (miles) from the conflict at home, the Ukrainian team is raking in the medals at the Olympics for the deaf, which opened on May 1 and wrap up Sunday in the southern city of Caxias do Sul. With two days left to go in the Games, Ukraine had a commanding lead in the medal table, with a total of 116 -- more than double the second-place United States. ""In this event, we show the world we exist: we are Ukraine, a real powerful, independent and democratic country,"" said Valeriy Sushkevych, president of the Ukraine Paralympic committee. ""One soldier called us and said: in between battles, we support you on TV. Your fighting spirit in sports is very important for us,"" he told AFP. 'Really want' peace Ukraine has a history of punching above its weight in disabled sport. Its Paralympic program owes its success to two and a half decades of specialized schools in every region of the country for children with disabilities, who start participating in sporting programs at an early age, Sushkevych says. Ukraine finished sixth in the medal table at the Summer Paralympics in Tokyo last year, and second at the Winter Paralympics in Beijing in March, just after Russia launched its invasion. The team's success at the Deaflympics is symbolically charged: Ukraine had finished second in the medal table at the last three editions of the event -- behind Russia, which was banned from all international competitions over the invasion. ""I dedicate these medals to Ukraine. I'm very proud to represent my country,"" said a smiling Dmytro Levin, a 24-year-old native of Kharkiv, speaking in sign language after winning two golds and a bronze in orienteering. ""I'm happy to have won this medal for Ukraine. But all I really want is peace,"" said 15-year-old Sofia Chernomorova, who won bronze in badminton. 'Didn't hear the sirens' Filimoshkina said she still remembers the vibrations she felt with every bomb that exploded in Mariupol, the port city devastated by relentless Russian strikes. ""A lot of deaf people died because they didn't hear the air raid sirens and went outside at the wrong time,"" she said. Her teammate Julia Kysylova, who won silver in the hammer throw, said that for a long time, she was sure they would have to cancel their trip for the Games. ""When the war erupted, it was impossible to train. I spent a month sheltering at home,"" said the 25-year-old athlete from Nova Kakhovka, in the hard-hit southern region of Kherson. She finally managed to flee to Spain, leaving her husband behind. ""It was a miracle we managed to cross the border. The trip took more than two days,"" she said. ""After the Games, I hope to go back home and be with my husband,"" she added.

World Food Program said Wednesday that millions of hungry people in West Africa are without aid as the agency struggles with limited funding to respond to the regions worst hunger crisis in a decade. Nearly half of the 11.6 million people targeted for food aid during the June to August lean season are not receiving any assistance, the agency said in a statement. It warned that hundreds of thousands of people are at risk of joining armed groups, getting married early or engaging in survival sex in their desperation to survive. Were in a tragic situation. During this years lean season, millions of families will lack sufficient food reserves to sustain them until the next harvests in September, said Margot Vandervelden, WFP interim regional director for Western Africa. We must take immediate action to prevent a massive slide into catastrophic hunger, she said. Long before last years flooding and Russias war in Ukraine, West Africa already was facing its worst food crisis in 10 years with more than 27 million hungry people mainly as a result of conflicts but also due to drought and the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. More than 50 million people in the wider East African region are expected to face acute food insecurity this year. Food insecurity in West and Central Africa is now affecting 47.2 million people in this years lean season, when hunger peaks, the WFP said, with women and children the most vulnerable groups. Malnutrition rates have also surged, with 16.5 million children under 5 set to be acutely malnourished this year an 83% rise from the 2015-2022 average, the agency said. In central Sahel countries of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger where jihadists have become increasingly deadly, U.N. agencies estimate that the number of people fleeing violence there has nearly quadrupled from 30,000 in January to 110,000 people in June.

The astounding video filmed from a drone appears to show a Ukrainian BTR-4 raining hell on the invaders' tank in Donetsk, eastern Ukraine. The BTR-4 appears to unload a volley of rounds from its 30mm cannon causing severe damage to Putin's war machine - despite it having 40mm armour. Rounds can be seen streaking through the air in the dramatic David and Goliath struggle. And after pounding what is believed to be a Russian T-72 tank - a ferocious inferno engulfs and then obliterates it leaving the machine in tatters. The humiliating scenes come despite Putin's battle tanks being fitted with 125mm cannons - more than FOUR TIMES the size of a BTR-4. READ MORE UKRAINE STORIES Its main gun can fire armour-piercing shells and highly explosive rounds. It can also launch AT-11 laser guided anti-tank missiles. But the 44.5 tonne tanks are less mobile and quick to aim than nippy troop carriers like the BTR-4, whose cannons can rapid-fire. The T-72 and other variants of it has seen extensive use on both sides in the war in the Donbas since 2014 and the Russo-Ukrainian. Most read in World News It is a family of Soviet/Russian main battle tanks that entered production in 1969. Latest estimates suggest Putin's savages have now lost an eyewatering 756 battle tanks since the war began on February 24. That comes alongside estimates that Russia has lost an astonishing 20,000 men in just 50-days of war. They have also seen 163 planes and 144 helicopters blasted out the sky above war ravaged Ukraine. Russia's latest military humiliation comes as the Kremlin redeploys forces eastward after a disaster campaign to take the capital Kyiv. REDEPLOYMENT Putin is now focusing efforts in the Donbas region which has been gripped by war between government forces and pro-Russian separatists since 2014. Russia annexed Crimea the same year and recognize the independence of the rebel regions in the Donbas. Moscow now intends to forge a strategic corridor between Crimea and its own sovereign territory via the Donbas. It means roads such as the one shown in the video will remain scenes of intense fighting for months to come. It comes as the Russian military continues to move helicopters and other equipment together for such an effort, according to a senior U.S. defence official. And worryingly it is likely to insert more ground combat units in the region once it has regrouped after shouldering massive losses. But it's unclear precisely when Russia will launch a bigger offensive in the Donbas. It comes as Russia's flagship Moskva was sunk after an extraordinary missile attack by the Ukrainians. HUMILIATION The ship - a 40-year-old symbol of Russian military might - was left a smouldering wreck after taking direct hits from two Neptune anti-ship missiles. The ship later sunk as it was being towed to naval port Sevastopol in Crimea. First Rank Captain Anton Kuprin, 44, was killed after the ship was hammered by the missiles, according to Kyiv sources. It has been alleged that only around 50 of the crew are accounted for - having been picked up by a Turkish vessel. While another 14 were reportedly flown to the port of Sevastopol, leaving around 450 whose fates remain a mystery. Video from within in Sevastopol overnight shows dozens of cars purportedly belonging to the sailors still parked in the port - suggesting their owners haven't come to collect them. The sinking of the Soviet-era Moskva in the Black Sea prompted Russia to launch a furious retaliation, later claiming to have blitzed the factory which made the missiles that sunk their prized flagship. The defence ministry said it had rocketed the 'Vizar' plant on the edge of Kyiv on Thursday night which it says manufactures Neptune anti-ship missiles. Russian Vladimir Putin, craving bloody revenge for the sinking, then ordered a brutal new bombing campaign promising more strikes against the Ukrainian capital. In a statement, Russia defence ministry said: ""The number and scale of missile strikes on targets in Kyiv will increase in response to any terrorist attacks or acts of sabotage on Russian territory committed by the Kyiv nationalist regime."" Strikes later rocked the capital Kyiv on Thursday night, according to Ukrainian MP Lesia Vasylenko. Social media videos have shown the sky above Kyiv lit up by countless explosions - they appear to be the most serious attacks since Russia retreated from the capital earlier this month. While blasts were also heard in the southern city of Kherson, the eastern city of Kharkiv and in Ukraine's western city of Ivano-Frankivsk.

Climate reparations are coming, to compensate other countries for the extreme weather theyve been experiencing, which is allegedly our fault, because a model which has always been wrong said so. The U.K. has now backed the transparent scam. The Telegraph has more. Britain has opened the door to paying climate change reparations to developing countries by supporting talks on the issue at the COP27 summit. On Sunday, at the meeting in Egypt, U.K. negotiators backed a last-minute agreement to address loss and damage payments to countries badly affected by climate-related disasters. Rishi Sunak will appear at the conference in Sharm el-Sheikh on Monday, where he will pledge 65.5 million for green technology in developing countries. The Prime Minister will say: By honouring the pledges we made in Glasgow, we can turn our struggle against climate change into a global mission for new jobs and clean growth. And we can bequeath our children a greener planet and a more prosperous future. Thats a legacy we could be proud of. Boris Johnson will also deliver a speech warning against the naysayers who threaten Net Zero targets. Pakistan is leading a push by developing countries including Bangladesh and the Maldives for compensation from richer countries responsible for most of the worlds pollution. The U.K. backed the issue being on the COP27 agenda during two days of negotiations ahead of the Egypt summit and is understood to accept that a deal must be done over the economic cost of climate change, which is forecast to reach $1 trillion by 2050. On Sunday night, a Downing Street source said Mr Sunak planned to scale up progress and support for developing countries suffering the worst effects of global warming. The Prime Minister will come under pressure in Egypt to agree to a costly deal on reparations at the same time as he draws up plans for sweeping domestic tax rises and spending cuts. On Sunday night, Treasury sources said Jeremy Hunt had signed off up to 35 billion in spending cuts and up to 25 billion in tax hikes to fill an estimated financial black hole of 60 billion.

+EN_CC_200013.txt,"Biden Unveils Strict Auto Standards to Speed EV Shift President Joe Biden's administration announced Wednesday revised pollution standards for cars and trucks meant to accelerate the US auto industry's shift to electric to mitigate climate change. The rules set ambitious emission reductions for 2032 but are moderated somewhat compared with preliminary standards unveiled last April. Following carmaker criticism, the final rules give manufacturers greater flexibility and ease the benchmarks in the first three years. Those shifts were criticized as a sop to corporations from at least one environmental group, even as the final rule won praise from other leading NGOs focused on climate change. The final rules -- which were described by administration official as ""the strongest ever"" and would likely be undone if Republican Donald Trump defeats Biden in November -- still require a nearly 50 percent drop in fleet-wide emissions in 2032 compared with 2026 through increased sales of electric vehicles (EVs) and low-emission autos. The rules, which dovetail with other key Biden programs to build more EV charging stations and manufacturing facilities and incentivize EV sales, establish the environment as a significant point of difference in the 2024 presidential election. Trump has mocked climate change as a problem and cast the transition to EVs as a job-killer that will benefit China at the expense of American workers. Biden argues that US auto builders need to take the lead in the expanding EV market. ""I brought together American automakers. I brought together American autoworkers,"" said Biden in a statement. ""Together, we've made historic progress."" Alluding to his target set three years ago that 50 percent of new vehicles in 2030 would be EVs, Biden predicted we'll meet my goal for 2030 and race forward in the years ahead."" - Industry given more time - EVs accounted for 7.6 percent in 2023 sales, up from 5.9 percent in 2022, according to Cox Automotive. The original proposal had envisioned the EV share surging to as much as 67 percent of new vehicle sales by 2032. Carmakers, which are midway through sweeping, multi-billion-dollar investments to build more EV capacity, criticized the initial standards as overly-stringent. They cited the limited state of charging capacity in the United States that has dampened consumer demand, as well as difficulties in supply of metals and other raw materials for EV batteries. Following input from the auto industry, organized labor and auto dealerships, Biden administration officials decided to allow manufacturers a ""variety of pathways"" to reaching the standard, a senior Biden administration official said Tuesday. This path could include a mix of EVs, conventional but more fuel-efficient engines, and plug-in hybrid vehicles, which have seen a rise in demand of late. Biden administration officials opted to soften year-to-year emissions improvements in the 2027-2030 period, while maintaining the same target in 2032. Moderating the targets in these first three years ""was the right call,"" said John Bozzella, president of the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, a Washington lobby representing carmakers. ""These adjusted EV targets - still a stretch goal - should give the market and supply chains a chance to catch up,"" said Bozzella, adding that the extra time will allow more EV charging stations to come on-line. - Too many 'loopholes'? - The final standards set a fleet-wide target of 85 grams of carbon dioxide in 2032, down from 170 in 2027, according to an administration fact sheet. Wednesday's initiative won praise from leading environmental groups including the Sierra Club and NRDC, which said the new rules ""take us in the right direction,"" according to a statement from NRDC chief Manish Bapna. But Dan Becker, director of the climate transport campaign at the Center for Biological Diversity, slammed the adjusted rules as ""significantly weaker."" ""The EPA caved to pressure from Big Auto, Big Oil and car dealers and riddled the plan with loopholes big enough to drive a Ford F150 through,"" Becker said. ""The weaker rule means cars and pickups spew more pollution, oil companies keep socking consumers at the pump, and automakers keep wielding well-practiced delay tactics.""","['CC: Criticism of climate policies', 'CC: Criticism of climate policies']","['CC: Criticism of climate policies: Climate policies are ineffective', 'CC: Criticism of climate policies: Climate policies have negative impact on the economy']",0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

+EN_CC_100122.txt,"Your Connection to Nature I grew up in New England, on a bluff overlooking the Connecticut River. We lived in a quiet town with a village green, a local dairy around the corner, and houses lining Main Street that were built in the mid-1700s. Unlike the deep snows that blanket Vermont in the winter, we lived farther south, in an area known for legendary ice storms. Its like the weather cant make up its mind whether to rain or snow, so it rainsthen decides to freeze. When I was in high school, we had the mother of all ice storms. The frozen rain had left almost half an inch of ice on everything from roads and rooftops to the tiniest of twigs. The trees, unable to bear the weight of so much ice, lost branches or were ripped from the ground completely. The branches and felled trees blocked roads and pulled down power lines. We huddled in front of our fireplace, making meals on a camp stove for the better part of a week, without power or heat. The ice clung stayed for several days. And then one evening, the mercury climbed from below-freezing to 50 degrees in a matter of hours. My dad and I went outdoors to watch the weather change, and because we lived on a hill, we could see what was happening across much of the Connecticut River Valley. As the thermometer rapidly rose, the tons of ice began falling from the trees and rooftops with a deafening roar. The broken power lines thawed and then lit up the sky with dangerous blue explosions of electricity. Dad and I watched in wonder as our frozen, ice-caked world thawed. He turned to me and said, Youll never forget this night for as long as you live. My dad has been gone now for almost two decades, but that evening, his comment, is how I like to remember him. The awe of Mother Nature was unforgettable. But it was also that my dad, a slide-rule-carrying engineer would fearlessly turn to his then-snotty teen-aged daughter and express his amazement and wonder of the world. Thats what I remember most.* I choose to remember that evening, that moment in time when I think about my dad because it makes me smile. But it was also a profound moment because my father, who was a deeply religious man, was tacitly acknowledging that our connection with nature is also about our relationship with God or the universe or however you define the divine. The point is that when you stop, observe, and admire the incredible operating system that is nature, how can you be anything but in awe? Nature has the ability to turn a tiny seed into a tree or an ear of corn, just by adding air, water, and sunlight. It keeps the oceans just the right amount of salinity to sustain the lives of fish and other aquatic animals. Our planet provides millions of species of plants, animals, and insects everything they need to survive. And yet, we get caught up in our lives and often lose touch with nature for long periods of time. Long enough for critical habitat to be turned into parking lots and for rainforests to be cut down. Long enough for our air to become toxic, and for the Colorado River to run empty before it reaches the ocean. I dont pretend to have any answers, except for the baby step of reexamining your relationship with the natural world. Stop and listen to the birds, notice how moss looks like a tiny forest, wonder at the tenacity of those plants that grow through the cracks in the sidewalk, and be in awe at how trees know to leaf out in the spring. Be the person who picks up a plastic bag blowing in the wind or who walks to your destination when possible, or who introduces native plants in your yard. Like that moment in a melting ice storm, its the small moments, realizations, and actions that can help in sustaining our planet. Renewing your connection with nature combined with inspired action, multiplied by the billions of people on the planet can make a difference.",['Other'],['Other'],0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

Fonda was castigated by locals, ambushed by a social media reporter and criticized by a left-leaning provincial premier. On Wednesday, at an Edmonton, Alberta news conference, she condemned a fellow-progressive, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, saying that people shouldnt be fooled by good-looking Liberals, and accused him of betraying the Paris climate agreement. Fonda claimed that, like President Barack Obama, her first impression of Trudeau was one of admiration: When I heard that your prime minister, the shining hope at the Paris climate talks, who talked so beautifully about needing to meet the requirements of the climate treaty, and respect and hold to the treaties with the Indigenous people, and so forth such a heroic stance he took there, Fonda said. And yet he has betrayed every one of the things that he committed to in Paris. I guess the lesson is we shouldnt be fooled by good-looking liberals, no matter how well spoken they are. What a disappointment. But there was disappointment in the remarks of Albertas premier, Rachel Notley, who leads the left-leaning provincial New Democratic Party. She called Fonda tone deaf and ill-informed. Fonda received an invitation from the Alberta government to discuss the oil sands but she refused.

Li Qun, deputy minister of culture and tourism and head of the National Cultural Heritage Administration, made the remarks in an interview with Xinhua. The site was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List on Sunday during the extended 45th session of the World Heritage Committee ongoing in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. With the addition of this new listing, China's number of UNESCO World Heritage sites has risen to 57. The Cultural Landscape of Old Tea Forests of the Jingmai Mountain in Pu'er is the very first tea-themed world cultural heritage site globally. On what makes this site stand out and on what sort of cultural insights it offers, Li said the cultural landscape comprises five ancient tea forests, nine traditional villages and three protective forests, which maintain their vitality to this day. ""According to archaeological findings, the cultivation of tea trees in ancient China can be traced back over 6,000 years,"" Li said. ""Subsequently, tea culture and the practice of growing and consuming tea spread from China to neighboring countries and beyond."" The cultural landscape has resulted in a unique protection system combining government management with grassroots governance, which ensures the protection of cultural and biological diversity and the sustainable use of natural resources, Li said. This heritage, he said, also demonstrates the unique tradition of the complementary use of natural resources in mountainous environments by many of China's ethnic groups. Its success in achieving World Heritage Site status is ""a significant achievement in presenting an authentic picture of ancient and modern China to the world,"" the official said. China plans to implement preservation and management initiatives in five key areas, Li said. Emphasizing the importance of prioritizing protection and planning ahead, Li highlighted the need for the coordinated planning of protection and management measures for ancient tea forests, villages and traditional residential architecture. Such an approach aims to strike a balance between heritage preservation and development. Furthermore, China intends to invest in research on core technologies to enhance its monitoring capabilities for ancient tea forests as well as rare flora and rare fauna, and its capabilities for climate change responses. To promote the sustainable development of its heritage sites, China aims to improve the participation mechanism for locals and other stakeholders. The involvement of local communities, particularly people from younger generations, will be encouraged and guided to contribute to the dissemination of tea culture and the growth of the tea industry. China will continue to delve into the history of the tea industry, explore the philosophical depth of tea culture, and elucidate the global influence of Chinese tea culture. The country seeks to tap into the value of this heritage and promote its traditional culture further. The official said that efforts are underway to promote the effective utilization and regulated development of cultural World Heritage Sites, aiming to breathe new life into these invaluable treasures.",['Other'],['Other'],0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

As real war rages in Ukraine, Russia has is pushing ahead with an intense information war online. A key battleground in the Kremlin's online crackdown is the Russian internet. Several businesses have shut down their online and physical operations in Russia. Meanwhile, Kremlin officials led by President Vladimir Putin have blocked access to some of the platforms that have not halted service in Russia. Instagram, which is three times as popular as Facebook in Russia, was blocked by state officials. The Kremlins plans to isolate Russia from the global internet predate the invasion of Ukraine. In 2019, Russia passed the Sovereign Internet Law which redirects traffic through Russian servers allowing a watchful Kremlin to censor the web. In 2021, the Russian government labeled the internet a national security threat. This month, Russias deputy digital minister Andrei Chernenko directed Russian websites to switch to domain name system (DNS) servers that are within Russias borders. Most read in Tech In doing so, internet operations in Russia are dependent on hardware within the country which strengthens the states ability to control content. Russian citizens can use a Virtual Private Network (VPN) to bypass Russias rigid internet restrictions. A VPN shields your IP address, hides your physical location and scrambles the record of your internet history. But with Visa, Mastercard and American Express suspending operations in Russia, many citizens have no way to pay for web tools to help them evade Russian censorship policies.

China governs the internet with intense scrutiny and has loads of restrictions against international websites. The Chinese government has ownership over internet channels and lends access to people and businesses. Chinese internet users rarely explore web pages that are based or created outside of China. FreedomHouse, a nonprofit focused on analyzing the strength of freedom across the world, ranked the Chinese internet as one of the least free in the world with a score of 10/100. The United States, for comparison, has an internet freedom score of 75/100.

+EN_CC_100083.txt,"Energy transition opens new vistas for solar, wind power companies by Xinhua writer Shi Hao BEIJING, Sept. 27 (Xinhua) -- Over the past three months, Anhui Huasun Energy Co., Ltd. has been racing against time to make solar modules for a gigantic photovoltaic project in China's Xinjiang. These 1.8-gigawatt modules using advanced heterojunction technology will be installed at a 4-gigawatt solar power plant, which is located on the edge of China's largest desert, the Taklimakan. ""For Chinese companies in the photovoltaic industry more than 20 years ago, raw materials, technologies and markets relied heavily on foreign countries and regions. But now, the tide has totally turned,"" Huasun's chairman Xu Xiaohua said. In east China's Anhui Province, where Xu's company is based, the photovoltaic industry has snowballed in the past five years. The number of companies in the business with an annual revenue exceeding 10 billion yuan (about 1.43 billion U.S. dollars) rose to 11 in 2023. The boom, which is also recorded beyond Anhui, is underpinned by China's vigorous efforts to expedite a comprehensive transition to green growth as tasks remain daunting. China aims to raise the proportion of non-fossil energy consumption to around 25 percent of total energy consumption by 2030, which means the country must make every effort to increase the ratio by one percentage point annually in the next few years. ""The proportion of coal consumption in China's total energy consumption stood at 55.3 percent in 2023, and thus the potential for green and low-carbon energy transition is great,"" said Li Zheng, director of the Institute of Climate Change and Sustainable Development at Tsinghua University. China is already revving up the transition to green energy. Official data released this week showed that the installed capacity of solar power came in at approximately 750 million kilowatts in the first eight months of 2024, rocketing 48.8 percent year on year, and the installed capacity of wind power grew 19.9 percent to some 470 million kilowatts. Pan Huimin, deputy head of the National Energy Administration's new and renewable energy department, said the rapid development of the new energy sector in recent years resulted from full market competition, a sound business environment, constant tech innovation and a complete industrial chain. To meet the requirement of exports and foster green industrial and supply chains, Chinese enterprises' demand for clean electricity is experiencing ""explosive growth,"" Pan said in the latest episode of the China Economic Roundtable, an all-media talk platform hosted by Xinhua. The new episode was broadcast Friday. A key challenge is fully harnessing unstable wind and sunlight and transmitting power to users, often hundreds or thousands of kilometers away. Last month, users in Beijing started receiving solar and wind power generated in the northwestern province of Gansu after the energy was delivered via extra-high-voltage transmission lines, benefiting Gansu companies in the business and meeting the Chinese capital's demand for green energy. China unveiled an action plan last month to speed up building a ""new electricity system."" According to the document, Chinese authorities will use advanced power generation, regulation and control technologies to increase the transmission of clean electricity through the grid. Local governments and enterprises should seize opportunities and vigorously exploit wind and solar power in line with local resources and with the capabilities of the grid to absorb the generated electricity, Pan said.",['Other'],['Other'],0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

Climate change was casting adverse impacts on the globe and it was equally important for Pakistan and Denmark to develop strategies for averting its risks to humanity and biodiversity, said Ambassador Jakob Linulf while addressing to the one-day capacity building workshop for journalists on Climate-Smart Reporting: Carbon Market and Equitable Development jointly organised by the Sustainable Development Policy Institute (SDPI) and the Embassy of Denmark here Thursday. He said Denmark had completed its green transition and transformed its energy sector from a fossil fuel-dependent energy mix to a greener one based on solar, wind, and biomass. Denmark has faced a lot of challenges in the way and thats why it wants to share its lessons learnt with Pakistan so that it do not repeat the same mistakes, he said. The Danish ambassador noted that the Danish companies had adequate technologies to address climate change impacts which can collaborate with their Pakistani counterparts. Pakistan is facing double crises; economic crisis coupled with climate change as the 2022 floods inundated one third of the country leaving millions of millions displaced and billions of dollars livestock, infrastructure and ready to harvest crops washed away, he said. He highlighted that carbon market can be an important tool in developing right and efficient tools to benefit from latest mechanisms to cut carbon emission and address climate change but it should be considered as a financial facility alone. He said the business leaders can take the lead to influence green transition especially in the sectors of steel, fertiliser, and cement where carbon adjustment can be one tool alongwith fuel adjustment and waste management. Soren Lutken, Chief Carbon Market Special UNEP Copenhagen said carbon markets is not the only solution to climate crisis as it was not exactly the idea to reduce but shift the emissions from one place to the other. He said Pakistan is the host of the cheaper emissions reduction mechanism whereas it was imperative to break the myth that it has missed the train to address Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). He said the country needed to come up with a clear policy framework to decide its moment to enter the compliance carbon markets. There are cooperations available globally that are interested to buy carbon credits that needs to be explored efficiently with clear policy direction and leadership, he said.

It is the third time the International Court of Justice (ICJ) has held hearings on the Israel-Hamas war since South Africa filed proceedings at The Hague court in December. On Thursday, South Africa told the court the situation in Gaza has reached a new and horrific stage, and urged the 15 judges to take urgent action. Israel must totally and unconditionally withdraw from the Gaza Strip, said Vusimuzi Madonsela, South Africas ambassador to the Netherlands. South Africa has submitted four requests for the ICJ to investigate Israel. According to the latest request, the country says Israels military incursion in Rafah threatens the very survival of Palestinians in Gaza. During hearings earlier this year, Israel strongly denied committing genocide in Gaza, saying it does all it can to spare civilians and is only targeting Hamas militants. Israel says Rafah is the last stronghold of the militant group. In January, judges ordered Israel to do all it can to prevent death, destruction and any acts of genocide in Gaza, but the panel stopped short of ordering an end to the military offensive. The court has already found that there is a real and imminent risk to the Palestinian people in Gaza by Israels military operations. This may well be the last chance for the court to act, said Irish lawyer Blinne Ni Ghralaigh, who is part of South Africas legal team. ICJ judges have broad powers to order a ceasefire and other measures, though the court does not have its own enforcement apparatus. A 2022 order by the court demanding that Russia halt its full-scale invasion of Ukraine has so far gone unheeded. Most of Gazas population of 2.3 million people have been displaced since fighting began. The war began with a Hamas attack on southern Israel on October 7 in which Palestinian militants killed around 1,200 people and took about 250 hostages. Gazas Health Ministry says more than 35,000 Palestinians have been killed in the war without distinguishing between civilians and combatants in its count. South Africa initiated proceedings in December 2023 and sees the legal campaign as rooted in issues central to its identity. Its governing party, the African National Congress, has long compared Israels policies in Gaza and the occupied West Bank to its own history under the apartheid regime of white minority rule, which restricted most Blacks to homelands. Apartheid ended in 1994. On Sunday, Egypt announced it plans to join the case. Several countries have also indicated they plan to intervene, but only Libya, Nicaragua and Colombia have filed formal requests to do so.

+EN_UA_101079.txt,"German bosses, unions jointly oppose boycott of Russian gas German bosses, unions jointly oppose boycott of Russian gas Germanys employers and unions have joined together in opposing an immediate European Union ban on natural gas imports from Russia over its invasion of Ukraine, saying such a move would lead to factory shutdowns and the loss of jobs in the blocs largest economy. A rapid gas embargo would lead to loss of production, shutdowns, a further de-industrialization and the long-term loss of work positions in Germany, said Rainer Dulger, chairman of the BDA employers group, and Reiner Hoffmann, chairman of the DGB trade union confederation, in a joint statement Monday on Germanys dpa news agency. The statement comes as European leaders are discussing possible new energy sanctions against Russian oil, following a decision April 7 to ban Russian coal imports beginning in August. Ukraines leaders say revenues from Russias energy exports are financing Moscows destructive war on Ukraine and must be ended. That wont be easy to do. The EUs 27 nations get around 40% of their natural gas from Russia and around 25% of their oil. Natural gas would be the most difficult do without, energy analysts say, since most of it comes by pipeline from Russia and supplies of liquefied gas, which can be ordered by ship, are limited amid strong demand worldwide. Germany, a major manufacturing hub and an importer of Russian gas, has so far resisted an immediate shut-off and said it plans to instead phase out Russian oil by the end of the year and most Russian gas imports by mid-2024. The EUs executive commission has outlined steps to cut the consumption of Russian gas by two-thirds by years end through using more pipeline gas from Norway and Azerbaijan, importing more liqueifed gas, accelerating the deployment of wind and solar projects and intensifying conservation efforts. German Vice Chancellor Robert Habeck said in an interview with the Funke media group that an immediate gas embargo would endanger social peace in Germany. Despite widespread economic sanctions against Russian banks and individuals, the EU continues to send around $850 million a day to Russia for oil and gas, even as EU governments condemn the war in Ukraine. Gas-intensive companies include producers of glass, metals, ceramics and chemicals. Industry officials say in many cases natural gas would be impossible to replace in the short run. Analysts say Russian crude oil would be easier to replace than gas but that a boycott would still lead to higher energy prices that would hit consumers who are already facing record EU inflation of 7.5%.",['URW: Negative Consequences for the West'],['URW: Negative Consequences for the West: Sanctions imposed by Western countries will backfire'],0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

In an interview with Russian newspaper Krasnaya Zvezda, General Sergei Rudskoy, chief operations director of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, said that NATO military personnel are taking part in the fighting in Ukraine disguised as mercenaries. NATO soldiers are taking part in the fighting disguised as mercenaries. They control air defense systems for operational and tactical missiles and multiple rocket launchers, and are part of assault teams, Rudskoy said. According to him, NATO officers directly shape the military operations of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The Russian state news agency TASS reported that the bodies of soldiers with Polish and American insignia on their clothes had been found in the Russian-controlled Avdiivka. The clearing of Avdiivka has revealed quite a few interesting details. In this case, bodies abandoned by Ukrainian armed units with American and Polish insignia sewn on their uniforms, Igor Kimakovsky, an adviser to the head of the Donetsk Peoples Republic, told Russias TASS/TRANS news agency. This information cannot be independently verified. Gen. Rudskoy claims that Ukraine is being used as a proxy against Russia. Western countries make no secret of their desire to inflict a strategic defeat on our country. In order to achieve this goal, Washington and Brussels have chosen Ukraine, where anti-Russian, nationalist sentiment has been nurtured since the collapse of the Soviet Union. At present, the Ukrainian people are being used by the United States as cannon fodder for its geopolitical ambitions of world domination. Therefore, the threats to our country today are no less serious than in the years of 1941-1945 last century, said Gen. Rudskoy. With the fall of Avdiivka, Ukraine has lost one of the most important cities on the Donetsk frontline, Many believe that the town is now serving as a second Bakhmut, as it was clear months ago that it could only be held temporarily at the cost of tens of thousands of soldiers lives.

+EN_UA_029155.txt,"Head of German Intelligence Reveals Zelensky Behind Nord Stream Pipeline Attack The former head of German intelligence has revealed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and President of Poland both collaborated to carry out the attack on the Nord Stream Pipelines. The Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines were sabotaged on 26 September 2022 after a series of underwater explosions and gas leaks. BYPASS THE CENSORS Sign up to get unfiltered news delivered straight to your inbox. You can unsubscribe any time. By subscribing you agree to our Terms of Use Latest Video Modernity.news reports: Much of the legacy media initially blamed Russia for attack, claiming it was a false flag but offering no sensible reason as to why Moscow would target its own energy infrastructure. However, during an appearance on German broadcaster WELT-TV, August Hanning, who served as the head of Germanys Federal Intelligence Service (BND) from 1998 to 2005, the attack was carried out at the behest of Zelensky and Andrzej Duda. According to Hanning, the act of sabotage occurred as a result of an agreement between the highest officials in Ukraine and Poland. There were agreements between Zelensky and Duda to carry out the attack, said Hanning. As we highlighted yesterday, Germany issued an arrest warrant for a Ukrainian diver believed to be involved in the attack on the Nord Stream pipelines, but Polish authorities failed to stop him at the border and he is now believed to be back in Ukraine. Berlin issued a European arrest warrant for Ukrainian citizen Volodymyr Z. after identifying him as the chief suspect for placing the explosives that destroyed the pipelines, but Polish authorities claimed they didnt apprehend the suspect as a result of Berlin not including his name in a database of wanted persons. The pipeline attack was preceded by warnings from the White House that a Russian invasion of Ukraine would spell the end for Nord Stream 2. On January 27, 2022, Under-Secretary of State Victoria Nuland stated, If Russia invades Ukraine, one way or another, Nord Stream 2 will not move forward. On February 7, 2022, President Biden said, If Russia invades again, then there will be no longer a Nord Stream 2. In February 2023, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Seymour Hersh published a report asserting that the pipelines were destroyed by the US as part of a covert operation. According to Hershs sources, the explosives were planted in June 2022 by US Navy divers under the guise of the BALTOPS 22 NATO exercise and were detonated three months later with a remote signal sent by a sonar buoy. It remains to be seen conclusively who ordered and carried out the attack, but the argument that Russia was behind it is looking increasingly tenuous.","['URW: Discrediting Ukraine', 'URW: Distrust towards Media']","['URW: Discrediting Ukraine: Discrediting Ukrainian government and officials and policies', 'URW: Distrust towards Media: Western media is an instrument of propaganda']",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
+EN_UA_101067.txt,"First war of TikTok era sees tragedy, humor and deceit eart-rending videos of artillery strikes are being served up alongside funny snippets such as bomb-shelter cooking tips and invasion misinformation as the war in Ukraine plays out on TikTok. Since Russia invaded Ukraine, millions of people have tuned into the hugely popular social networking service for news and views of what is happening on the battleground. That was not lost on United States officials who hosted a video call to brief popular TikTok ""influencers"" on details about the war, according to posts at the social network. ""Lots of people have been turning to digital creators to learn about the invasion of Ukraine,"" read a tweet Friday by Gen-Z for Change, a nonprofit focused on using social media to promote civil discourse. ""Yesterday, we joined the @WhiteHouse and @WHNSC for a briefing on the United States' strategic goals in Ukraine so we're better able to debunk misinformation,"" it added, referring to the White House National Security Council. After Russia invaded Ukraine, music-themed video clips in Marta Vasyuta's account gave way to images of soldiers and the ravages of war. Stuck in London, the 20-year-old Ukrainian exchange student uses TikTok to share glimpses of the tragedy inflicted on people still in her home country. ""My mission is to spread information, to not stop talking about that, because it really matters,"" said the economics student from Lviv, whose videos have logged millions of views. Valeria Shashenok stayed in the city of Cherniguiv, northeast of Kyiv, and switched to English to broaden the reach of her sometimes surreal wartime TikTok posts. In one, she shows how to cook borscht in a bomb shelter. In another, she walks through rubble to a Rihanna music remix. The 20-year-old photographer is among those who have not given up on the playful nature of videos considered a trademark of TikTok, which boasts more than 1 billion users. ""I try to keep the humor, because it is my nature,"" said 23-year-old TikTok creator Rimma, who asked for her second name to be withheld. ""I'm living through this trauma. My life is ruined, and there is nothing left for me but irony."" Her TikTok clips include one of her in a basement in Odessa, quipping that Ukrainians' idea of going for a walk now is a jaunt to the nearest shelter. She said the line between what was funny and what was hurtful was no longer clear, given the suffering and fear afflicting so many. But the appetite for wartime content at TikTok appears strong, with Vasyuta and Shashenok seeing their accounts subscriber ranks multiply. Youthful sass While breaking news events such as armed conflicts have featured on social media for years, TikTok tends to feature spontaneity and a bit of sass that has proven particularly popular with younger audiences. In the US where members of Gen Z, born in the late 1990s, shun traditional television, online platforms like TikTok are prime sources of news. ""I hope that the kids who watch this war unfold on TikTok become opposed to war [and] realize the horrors and dangers of it,"" said US high school history teacher Chris Dier, who is also a TikTok creator. ""What I don't want is for it to desensitize them and normalize war."" Young TikTok users were also being ""bombarded"" with propaganda that they likely needed help navigating, said Dier. TikTok told AFP that it had ramped up resources to detect and counter ""emerging threats"" and ""harmful disinformation"" on the platform. On March 6, the subsidiary of China-based ByteDance suspended the uploading of videos in Russia in reaction to a new law making it a crime to ""discredit"" the Russian military. The flow of pro-Russian messages has noticeably declined at TikTok, with the most popular account being state-backed news agency RIA Novosti, which is known for false or discredited claims, such as the alleged existence of secret bioweapons labs in Ukraine.

+EN_CC_100005.txt,"Climate Crazies Fail in Attempt to Vandalize Another Classic Work of Art Another of the worlds most recognized and most valuable pieces of art was the target of climate-change activists. Climate crazies tried and failed to glue themselves to Edvard Munchs 1893 painting The Scream in Oslo on Friday. It was yet another example of climate change activists using priceless works of art to protest the use of fossil fuels, which climate zealots believe is leading to global warming. In October, climate activists attacked Girl with a Pearl Earring by Johannes Vermeer in The Hague. Climate hysterics were also responsible for an attack on Van Goghs Sunflowers and John Constables The Hay Wain in London over the summer. The new climate-related vandalism fad seems to have begun with an attack on Da Vincis Mona Lisa in which a climate fanatic feigned a disability in order to get close enough to smear a pastry on the painting. In addition, Peach Trees in Blossom by Van Gogh; My Hearts in the Highlands by Horatio McCulloch; Tomsons Aeolian Harp by J.M.W. Turner; The Last Supper by Giampietrino; Sistine Madonna by Raphael; and Haystacks by Monet have been targeted by climate hysterics since May. As of yet, none of the artwork has been damaged, due to being protected by glass. Video of Fridays attack shows two young climate vandals attempting to glue themselves to the artwork. Police apprehended the hooligans, and reported there was some glue residue on the glass that protects the paintings. I scream for people dying, one of the activists shouted. I scream when lawmakers ignore science, the other shouted. The Norwegian climate activist group Stopp Oljeletinga, which translates to Stop Oil Exploration, claimed responsibility for the attack. The group demands that the Norwegian government declare an immediate halt to all further exploration for oil on the Norwegian continental shelf, and present a concrete plan for fair adjustment for todays oil workers. A spokesperson for the group claimed that the vandalism was an attempt to pressure lawmakers into stopping oil exploration. We are campaigning against Scream because it is perhaps Norways most famous painting, said Astrid Rem, a spokesperson for Stopp Oljeletinga. There have been lots of similar actions around Europe. They have managed something that no other action has managed: achieve an extremely large amount of coverage and press. But theres good press and theres bad press. These crazy antics are of the bad variety. Norway is one of the worlds top oil exporters and provides oil and natural gas to much of Europe, a continent in the midst of a serious energy crunch brought about partly by the war in Ukraine. Russia, the largest supplier of natural gas to Europe, has severely restricted supplies and has shut down the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, which it claims was sabotaged. Without much-needed Norwegian fossil fuels, Europe could be in for an extremely cold winter. The art world has acknowledged their concern over the new phenomenon: In recent weeks, there have been several attacks on works of art in international museum collections. The activists responsible for them severely underestimate the fragility of these irreplaceable objects, which must be preserved as part of our world cultural heritage, read a statement signed by approximately one hundred gallery directors and museums. These climate crazies are apparently willing to allow a continent to freeze this winter over their fears of an over-hyped problem peddled by globalists who flew more than 400 carbon-spewing private jets to COP27 in Egypt last week. If they truly believe the hype surrounding climate change, theyre targeting the wrong thing.","['CC: Criticism of climate movement', 'CC: Criticism of climate movement']","['CC: Criticism of climate movement: Other', 'CC: Criticism of climate movement: Climate movement is alarmist']",0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
+EN_UA_100210.txt,"Russia Exposure of dirty bomb plans caused panic in Kiev Russia Exposure of dirty bomb plans caused panic in Kiev Many signs show Ukraine is winding down its program amid Moscows revelations, a senior diplomat claimed Kiev might be shelving its alleged dirty bomb program after Russia exposed it, Moscows deputy permanent representative to the UN, Dmitry Polyansky, claimed on Tuesday. He added that Ukraine may well have time to do this before the upcoming nuclear inspection. Over the last few days, Russian officials, including Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu, have been accusing Kiev of preparing a false-flag attack with the use of a dirty bomb, a device combining conventional explosives with radioactive material. Ukraine has categorically denied Moscows claims. If you read the Ukrainian Telegram channels, you would see that there is a lot of fuss in the Ukrainian ruling circles now because of the campaign that we have started to launch, and there are many signs that they are trying to sort of wind down this program, Polyansky said, as quoted by RIA Novosti. In his opinion, Ukraine has enough time to scale back the dirty bomb plans before the upcoming visit of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors. They can come, but I am telling you that a dirty bomb is not a very complex device,Polyansky explained, adding that there is no guarantee that Kiev will not resume its alleged activity after the inspectors depart. At the same time, the official claimed that the danger of Kiev using a dirty bomb remains very high, and that Ukraine has the opportunity and has every reason to use it. Earlier on Tuesday, in a letter to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the Russian missions head, Vassily Nebenzia, said that Moscow would consider the use of a dirty bomb by Ukraine an act of nuclear terrorism. Meanwhile, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba earlier called the Russian allegations as absurd as they are dangerous. He also noted that Russians often accuse others of what they plan themselves. On Tuesday, the minister revealed that Ukraine had invited IAEA inspectors to come and to prove that Ukraine has neither any dirty bombs nor plans to develop them. Good cooperation with IAEA and partners allows us to foil Russias dirty bomb disinfo campaign, Kuleba said. UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric, commenting on the matter, said that all parties should avoid any actions that could lead to miscalculation and escalation of whats already a devastating conflict. Meanwhile, the Pentagon claimed that Russias allegations against Ukraine were transparently false. NATO General Secretary Jens Stoltenberg said that the allies reject the allegation and believe that Russia must not use it as a pretext for further escalation.

Yulia Navalnaya, the wife of deceased opposition activist Alexei Navalny, is urging mass protests against President Putin as he stands of the verge of winning another six year term as president, an outcome quite obvious to all observers. She's calling on Russians to disrupt the final day of voting in what's been dubbed ""noon against Putin"". While some sporadic minor incidents at polling stations have been reported, there has been a major incident in the small country of Moldova which borders Ukraine. Moldovan police have detained a man who attacked the Russian embassy with two Molotov cocktails as voting was underway there. ""A man threw two containers of flammable substances over the fence of the Russian Embassy in Chisinau,"" police said in a statement. A 54-year-old Moldovan who described himself as also having Russian citizenship was immediately detained after after hurling the Molotov cocktails. There were no reports of injuries or damage to the embassy, and police said an investigation is ongoing. ""He justified his action by some dissatisfaction he has with the actions of the Russian authorities,"" authorities said. Moldova has been scene of controversy and friction especially after Russia allowed the opening of several polling stations in breakaway Transnistria, which the Moldovan government has fiercely protested. Reuters noted days ago that ""A senior official in ex-Soviet Moldova said on Wednesday Moscow was breaking laws by printing ballot papers in the separatist region of Transnistria ahead of this week's Russian presidential election."" ""Moldova's pro-European authorities have already summoned the Russian ambassador to complain about a decision to open six polling stations in the pro-Russian enclave,"" the report continued. ""The central government said the move broke an agreement to allow voting only at a single polling station at the Russian embassy in Chisinau."" The United States recently become more vocal in defending Moldova's territorial integrity, and has condemned what the Biden administration has called Moscow's 'interference' in the Eastern European nation's sovereignty. Last summer, Moldova expelled 45 Russian diplomats and embassy staff members from the country ""over numerous unfriendly actions"" as tensions reached near breaking point over the war in neighboring Ukraine and the Transnistria issue.

The 32-year-old U.S. citizen was detained in late March 2023 while on a reporting trip and has spent more than a year in jail, with authorities routinely extending his time behind bars and rejecting his appeals. Last month, his pretrial detention was continued yet again until June 30 in a ruling that he and his lawyers challenged. A Moscow appellate court rejected the appeal Tuesday. In the courtroom on Tuesday, Gershkovich, wearing a white T-shirt and an open checked shirt, looked relaxed, at times laughing and chatting with members of his legal team. His arrest in the city of Yekaterinburg rattled journalists in Russia, where authorities have not detailed what, if any, evidence they have to support the espionage charges. U.S. journalist marks a year in a Russian prison as courts keep extending his time behind bars Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich marks a year behind bars Friday following his arrest by Russian authorities who accuse him of espionage. Gershkovich and his employer have denied the allegations, and the U.S. government has declared him to be wrongfully detained. Analysts have pointed out that Moscow may be using jailed Americans as bargaining chips in U.S.-Russian tensions over the Kremlins war on Ukraine. At least two U.S. citizens arrested in Russia in recent years including WNBA star Brittney Griner have been exchanged for Russians jailed in the United States. In December, the U.S. State Department said it had made a significant offer to secure the release ofGershkovich and Paul Whelan, another American imprisoned in Russia on espionage charges, that it said Moscow had rejected. Officials did not describe the offer, although Russia has been said to be seeking the release of Vadim Krasikov, who was given a life sentence in Germany in 2021 for the killing in Berlin of Zelimkhan Tornike Khangoshvili, a 40-year-old Georgian citizen of Chechen descent who had fought Russian troops in Chechnya and later claimed asylum in Germany. A Russian court extends the pretrial detention for American reporter accused of spying A court in Moscow ruled to keep Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich in custody pending his trial on espionage charges. Russian President Vladimir Putin, asked this year about releasing Gershkovich, appeared to refer to Krasikov by pointing to a man imprisoned by a U.S. ally for liquidating a bandit who had allegedly killed Russian soldiers during separatist fighting in Chechnya. Beyond that hint, Russian officials have kept mum about the talks. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov repeatedly said that while certain contacts on swaps continue, they must be carried out in absolute silence. Gershkovich is the first U.S. reporter to be arrested on espionage charges in Russia since 1986, when Nicholas Daniloff, a Moscow correspondent for U.S. News and World Report, was arrested by the KGB.

If you thought the Great Replacement was nothing more than a conspiracy theory, you might want to think again. You can unsubscribe any time. By subscribing you agree to our Terms of Use According to a WEF report, white people are responsible for the vast majority of the worlds problems including climate change and colonialism, and in the interests of an equitable future for the globe, the number of white people must be reduced as a priority. The WEF has enlisted the United Nations to help with the plan and the results are already playing out before our eyes. Before we dive in, subscribe to the channel if you havent already, and join the Peoples Voice Locals community to join our incredible community and support the channel. The Netherlands has become one of the global elites testing grounds for the most extreme policies. Just as the Netherlands was ground zero for the elites war on farmers, Dutch cities are also operating as laboratories for the elites plans to depopulate the world and radically alter demographics. Eva Vlaardingerbroek reports from the Netherlands. What is wrong with our leaders? They are fully bought and paid for compromised reprobates who have hitched their wagon to the globalist agenda and take their orders directly from Davos. Catching the elite in mask off moments is nothing short of terrifying. Take for example footage of a top CDC official saying that the elites must get rid of of all the whites in the United States and replace them with immigrants to create a more compliant society. Dr. Carol Baker was describing what she described as the solution at a panel discussion in New York City. You wont be surprised to hear that Baker was appointed Chair of the CDCs Advisory Committee on Immunization by Barack Obamas Health and Human Services Secretary in 2009. She was also honored with the 2019 Albert B. Sabin Gold Medal at a D.C. ceremony sponsored by Pfizer and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Is anyone surprised that a Bill Gates-connected CDC official is openly suggesting depopulating America of white people who dont cooperate with the elites vaccine agenda? This is the same Bill Gates who told world leaders that its time to talk about death panels that will sentence ordinary, law-abiding people to death for the crime of being of no use to the elite. This is the psychopathic world Bill Gates and his associates at the WEF are determined to usher in as part of their Great Reset and Great Replacement. It gets even worse when you understand how far and wide their evil ideology has spread. The globalist elite are no longer hiding their plans to depopulate the world by reducing the number of white people. This is a multi-pronged attack and we are now seeing what it looks like in real time. Of course, the mainstream media are still operating under instructions from the elite to attack anybody who dares to express what they can see with their own two eyes. They will attack you, shout you down, and pressure your employer to fire you. You might lose your bank account. You are simply not allowed to talk about the human tragedy of Biden and Harris open border, even though Biden is on record laying out his great replacement vision in 2015 in plain English for everybody to understand. Biden is a compromised puppet politician who has been shamelessly selling out America to the globalists for decades. Now that he has been sacrificed by the global elite in favor of Kamala Harris and appears to have been replaced by a body double who is approximately eight inches taller than the last version, it is worth pointing out that the elite think we are incredibly stupid. They really think we are not paying attention to the mountains of evidence proving the multi-pronged attacks maiming and killing the population all have one thing in common. Chemtrails and mRNA disproportionately target white people in a way that is statistically impossible unless its by design. Of course the plot to depopulate the world has been planned out in detail. The Covid vaccines have long been exposed as a bioweapon designed to cull the herd and depopulate the world. But it gets even worse, as Robert F. Kennedy explained in New York City. The bioweapon is targeted to take out white people and spare other races. We cant allow the evil logic of ethnic bioweapons to become the new normal.

This time the news agency accuses the Daily Sceptic of cherry-picking Arctic sea ice extent data to provide a misleading story. Being accused of cherry picking by an outfit that funds a course for journalists that encourages them to pick a fruit such as a mango and discuss why it isnt as tasty as the year before due to climate change is beyond ridicule. Taking lectures on responsible journalism from a Net Zero-obsessed operation that has promoted a course speaker who has suggested fines and imprisonments for expressing scepticism about well supported science is laughable, if also a tad sinister. One of the activists called to admonish the Daily Sceptic with a straw man argument was Walt Meier, a research scientist at the National Snow and Ice Data Centre, who said: Comparing two specific years is not an indicator for or against long-term changes. The Daily Sceptic did not do that. Interestingly, this would appear to be the same Walt Meier whose comments on mind blowing low winter levels of Antarctica sea ice last year made headlines around the world. Meier claimed at the time that it was outside anything we have seen. Happily, the Daily Sceptic was able to remind Meier that he had been part of a team a decade ago that cracked open the secrets of early Nimbus weather satellites and found a similar sea ice low in 1966. At the time, Meier commented that the Nimbus data show there is variability in Antarctica sea ice thats larger than any we have seen since 1979.

+EN_UA_024628.txt,"Washington will not let Ukraine fail, US defence chief vows RAMSTEIN AIR BASE - Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin promised Tuesday that the United States will not let Ukraine fail in fighting off Russia, even as further aid remains stalled in Congress and Kyivs forces face shortages of munitions. The Republican-led House of Representatives has been blocking $60 billion in assistance for Ukraine and the United States has warned that a recent $300 million package would only last a few weeks. The United States will not let Ukraine fail, Austin said at the opening of a meeting in Germany of Ukraines international supporters, at which he is seeking to secure further assistance for Kyiv. We remain determined to provide Ukraine with the resources that it needs to resist the Kremlins aggression, he said. Washington announced $300 million in assistance for Ukraine last week, but Austin said it was only possible due to savings on recent purchases. We were only able to support this much-needed package by identifying some unanticipated contract savings, Austin said. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a statement the day before that it is critically important for us that the Congress soon completes all the necessary procedures and makes a final decision on aid for Kyiv. Top US military officer General Charles CQ Brown told journalists en route to the Ukraine meeting that Kyivs troops are having to pay attention to their supply rates and how they execute. There is an incremental kind of back and forth between Ukraine and Russia, with incremental gains on both sides, Brown said. But he noted that even as the Russians have gained territory, they do it at a pretty big cost in number of casualties, like in personnel, but also in number of pieces of equipment that are being taken out. Austin said in his remarks Tuesday that Russia has paid a staggering cost for (President Vladimir) Putins imperial dreams, using up to $211 billion to equip, deploy, maintain, and sustain its imperial aggression against Ukraine. At least 315,000 Russian troops have been killed or wounded since Russia launched its all-out invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Austin said, adding that Ukraine has also sunk, destroyed, or damaged some 20 medium-to-large Russian navy vessels. The sinkings have been an embarrassment for Moscow and Russian state media confirmed Tuesday that the country had replaced the head of its navy. Austin and other US officials have spearheaded the push for international support for Ukraine, quickly forging a coalition to back Kyiv after Russia invaded and coordinating aid from dozens of countries. Speaking at the Ramstein US base, German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius said Berlin has offered another half a million euros worth of military aid to Ukraine. That includes 10,000 rounds of ammunition from the stock of our armed forces, he told journalists. Germany is Ukraines second biggest donor of military support, after Washington, which has committed tens of billions of dollars to aid Kyiv since February 2022.","['URW: Overpraising the West', 'URW: Overpraising the West']","['URW: Overpraising the West: The West belongs in the right side of history', 'URW: Overpraising the West: The West has the strongest international support']",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

Dr. Liaqat Ali Shah, Head of Policy CPEC in the Centre of Excellence for CPEC, said this while talking to WealthPK. The Chinese investment under the CPEC is mainly focused on infrastructure. The largest part went into setting up power generation plants, railway tracks, and building highway infrastructure. The CPEC's western alignment was also the focus of new infrastructure projects, which connected Pakistan's most underdeveloped regions with Gwadar and major urban centres. Owing to Chinas rapid urbanization in the last two decades, Chinese construction companies have had a lot of exposure to efficient construction techniques, which has given them a lot of expertise in these fields, he said. Collaborating with Chinese construction firms allows Pakistan to benefit from these high-quality standards, contributing to the construction of a durable and resilient infrastructure. This is particularly crucial in regions prone to natural disasters, as the expertise garnered from the Chinese practices can help in designing and constructing buildings that can withstand various environmental challenges, he opined. As the world collectively embraces the imperative of sustainable development, the Pak-China partnership aligns seamlessly with these global goals. Both nations recognize the importance of environment-friendly construction practices and adoption of green building materials. Through joint research initiatives and knowledge-sharing, the collaboration will be instrumental in achieving the targets related to climate action and responsible consumption and production. Implementing focused training programs and knowledge-sharing initiatives is crucial for cultivating a skilled and competitive construction workforce in Pakistan, he suggested. He further informed WealthPK that more than 5,000 trained and experienced Chinese engineers and workers and more than 2,000 Pakistani engineers and workers were involved in different projects under the CPEC. According to the SBP Annual Report 2023, the construction industry recorded a contraction of 5.5 percent in FY23, after registering a moderate growth in the previous two years. Increase in input prices and wages, higher borrowing costs, and slower growth in development spending are the main factors which constrained the construction activity during FY23.",['Other'],['Other'],0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

The fighter pilot had to release his parachute mid-air and was forced to land in an abandoned field. The shocking first-person footage is believed to have been recorded in the summer but wasn't released until now. It shows the Russian fighter pilot release his parachute mid-air after his Su-25SM was taken down by what's believed to have been incoming Ukrainian fire, according to a weapons tracking account on Twitter.

It's believed Mad Vlad would happily sacrifice 20 million soldiers to ensure he won the war in Ukraine and secure his future as Russia's leader, a former insider has claimed. The chilling warning comes as fears of the war in Ukraine turning nuclear continue to grow as Russia's defence minister said a ""dirty bomb"" could be detonated in Ukraine. Exiled former diplomat Boris Bondarev warned Putin would sacrifice millions of lives to win in Ukraine. ""He is not smart, he is just lucky. Now I think his luck is over,"" Mr Bondarev told Sky News. ""You should have no doubt about it, he may sacrifice 10 or 20 million Russians just to win this war just to slaughter all Ukrainians because it's a matter of principle. ""It's a matter of political survival to him. You have to understand that, if he loses the war, it will be the end for him."" Bondarev added: ""After losing the war, he will have to explain to his elites and his population why it is so and he may find some problems in explaining this. ""And after that there may be opposition who will try to depose him or he will try to purge his subordinates to find some people who could be blamed for all these problems."" Meanwhile, Russian war boss Sergei Shoigu warned that the brutal warzone is risking ""uncontrolled escalation"" as Putin's forces continue to be pushed back across the frontline. Shoigu suggested that Ukraine could actually be the one to detonate a ""dirty bomb"" - an explosive laced with radioactive material. And while not a true nuclear weapon, the consequences of using such a device could be catastrophic.

+EN_UA_101954.txt,"A 'Watershed Event': Five Takeaways From Israel's Assassination Of Hamas' Political Leader In Tehran A 'Watershed Event': Five Takeaways From Israel's Assassination Of Hamas' Political Leader In Tehran Authored by Andrew Korybko via substack, Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh was assassinated by Israel early Wednesday morning in the heart of the Iranian capital hours after attending President Masoud Pezeshkians inauguration. The details remain unclear, but its widely thought that he was killed by a precision drone strike at his residence. The world is watching to see whether Iran and/or its Resistance Axis allies will respond, what form it could take if so, and whether that would escalate tensions to a wider war. Here are five takeaways thus far: 1. Israels Intelligence & Tactics Are Top-Notch Israel somehow or another obtained accurate intelligence about Haniyehs location despite it being top-secret and was then able to successfully assassinate him. Whatever air defenses (including electronic warfare ones) that Iran had deployed in its capital as part of the security measures to protect its high-profile guests failed to thwart this attack. This is a major embarrassment for the Islamic Republic and prompts speculation about whether it was due to utter incompetence or was partially an inside job. 2. Iran Is Caught In A Dilemma Over How To Respond Its unimaginable that Iran wont respond to its Israeli enemy assassinating a high-profile allied guest in Tehran during the new presidents inauguration, but the dilemma is over the form that this response will take. Launching another drone and missile salvo against Israel like it did in the spring after the bombing of its consulate in Damascus is possible, though Israel could spin that as a failure if many of them are shot down like last time, the on-the-ground damage is minimal, and no high-profile targets are killed. 3. Mutually Assured Destruction Hangs Heavy Over Everyones Head The response that Iran resorts to will be determined by its leaderships understanding of how far they can go without triggering the mutually assured destruction (MAD) scenario, which both Israel and the Resistance Axis fear and is why theyve thus far restrained themselves from waging all-out war. A repeat of springs salvo could remain below that threshold, but Iran might also respond in a different way thats interpreted by Israel as an escalation, thus prompting its own escalation that could then lead to MAD. 4. A Choreographed Response Might Therefore Be The Most Rational Duma member Dmitry Belik, whose claim to fame was helping Sevastopol reunify with Russia when he briefly served as the regions acting head in spring 2014, described springs salvo as a beautiful theatrical production. If theres any truth to his innuendo that Iran choreographed its response with the US and/or Israel to Israels bombing of its consulate in Syria, then it might also do the same after Haniyehs assassination, which could help Iran save face while averting an escalation towards MAD. 5. But Theres No Guarantee That Irans Allies Will Stand Down Hamas and Hezbollah are Irans allies but operate independently of it despite their close ties. Theres accordingly no guarantee that theyll stand down and not respond in their own way if Iran sends another salvo to Israel regardless of whether or not its choreographed. After all, Hamas political chief was just killed, while one of Hezbollahs top commanders was assassinated by Israel in Beirut the day prior. This makes the MAD risk even less manageable since those two might not share Irans calculations. Haniyehs assassination is a watershed event in the latest Israeli-Hamas War, which is now a regional Israeli-Iranian proxy war, since it greatly spikes the risk of everything spiraling into MAD. Irans response will be crucial in determining whether or not that happens, but so too will Hamas and Hezbollahs.

What the gas stove ban means for your fave restaurants. People in my community freaked out over the headline, re-sharing this misleading article many times on social media. Simply put, the truth is this: Our favorite restaurants will be fine, as the city of Los Angeles ban on most gas appliances in new construction does not apply to existing buildings or existing Korean BBQ restaurants. Their kitchens do not have to be altered due to this measure. I talked to people who re-shared the article online who did not understand this simple truth based on your headline and article. That said, I appreciated some commentary in the article about the concerns of chefs who are used to cooking with gas and are thinking about opening new restaurants. It is my hope that chefs across L.A. can discover new ways to cook without harmful gas. The wok was invented thousands of years ago and used without fossil fuels, and today, we have induction cooking, which I can personally attest is a wonderful way to cook without toxic emissions. Were all in this together, so lets act now to deliver a healthier future for generations to come. Jennifer Ho, La Crescenta .. To the editor: The California Restaurant Assn. is on the wrong side of history in its opposition to all-electric kitchens. Sadly, this is not the first time restaurant associations have opposed public health and safety measures. In fact, restaurant associations once fought smoke-free laws, with funding from Big Tobacco. To protect public health and reduce climate emissions from gas stoves, our kitchens and homes will need to be upgraded from gas to electric. Thankfully, induction cooking is a superior cooking technology that keeps kitchens cooler and safer. For chefs cooking primarily with woks, there are electric woks. Climate change and the health dangers of gas are not going away. Instead of ignoring the problem or fighting health-protective solutions, our field must innovate to continue to prepare the dishes we love safely for our families and customers and the planet.

Any alleged report that employs any such phrase is propaganda lying news or history that bases itself upon the false unstated assumption that Russias invasion of Ukraine on 24 February 2022 started the war in Ukraine, instead of responded to a war in Ukraine that U.S. President Barack Obamas Administration (including Joe Biden) the American Government had actually started there, in 2014, against Ukraines adjoining nation of Russia. America is planning ultimately to invade Russia from the only nation that is only 300 miles away from Moscow (Russias central command far closer than Cuba was to Washington DC during the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis). Here, as proven in the links, are the historical facts, documenting the U.S. Governments increasing aggression against Russia using Ukraine as its primary springboard in its plan to conquer Russia: The Obama Administration perpetrated in February 2014 a bloody Ukrainian coup (hidden behind popular anti-corruption Ukrainian demonstrations that the CIA and State Department had trained and organized local racist-fascist anti-Russian Ukrainians to lead) overthrowing the democratically elected President of Ukraine and replacing him by a racist-fascist (ideologically nazi) regime that immediately replaced Ukraines generals with ones to ethnically cleanse pro-Russian Ukrainians and kill some and terrorize the others to flee into Russia so as to get rid of the people in the Ukrainian regions that had voted 70% or more for that democratically elected President and this ethnic cleansing would enable the nazi U.S.-installed regime in Ukraine to be democratically elected, and so to continue the U.S.-Governments control over that country, on Russias border. For the full details, see this. So: all three of those phrases (Russias war of aggression against Ukraine, unprovoked war in Ukraine, and Russian aggression against Ukraine) are lies, which reverse the aggressor (purportedly Russia, but actually America) and the defender (purportedly Ukraine which is Americas proxy in its war against Russia but actually Russia). The war in Ukraine started with Obamas coup, not with Putins ultimate response to it (which occurred soon after Americas rejection on 7 January 2022, of Russias demand, NOT to allow Ukraine into NATO). Americas plan here is to place its missiles on Ukraines border with Russia, only a five-minute-missile-flight away from blitz-nuking The Kremlin and thereby beheading Russias central command too fast for Russia to be able to launch its retaliatory missiles.

There wont be a war as far as it depends on the Russian Federation, we dont want a war, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said during an interview with local radio stations. But we wont let our interests be rudely trampled on and ignored. During the call, Putin said he wants to continue dialogue with the West to negotiate a stalled peace agreement for eastern Ukraine between Russia, Ukraine, France, and Germany. Presidential envoys from the four countries already met in Paris on Wednesday and agreed to another meeting in Berlin in two weeks. The latest diplomatic move also comes as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Friday called on the West not to create panic, challenging U.S. warnings about an imminent Russian attack. I dont consider the situation now tenser than before. There is a feeling abroad that there is war here. Thats not the case, Zelensky told reporters at a Friday press briefing. We dont need this panic, he added. Zelenskys comment comes one day after rumors spread that President Joe Biden warned him during a phone call that Kyiv would soon be sacked in an invasion by Russian military forces. He has previously said this publicly and we have been warning about this for months. Reports of anything more or different than that are completely false, she said. Meanwhile, Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko also ruled out that there will be war, saying there will not be a war unless Belarus or Russia comes under attack.

We havent observed any events or actions of military character that significantly differ from what was going on last spring, with the exception of the deployment to Belarus, Reznikov said. While Moscow and the West are mulling their next steps, NATO said it was bolstering its deterrence in the Baltic Sea region, and the United States ordered 8,500 troops on higher alert for potential deployment to Europe. Russia has launched military drills involving motorized infantry and artillery units in southwestern Russia, warplanes in Kaliningrad on the Baltic Sea, and dozens of warships in the Black Sea and the Arctic.

+EN_UA_014829.txt,"Why the Media Dont Want to Know the Truth About the Nord Stream Blasts by Jonathan Cook, The Unz Review: No one but the terminally nave should be surprised that security services lie and that they are all but certain to cover their tracks when they carry out operations that either violate domestic or international law or that would be near-universally rejected by their own populations. Which is reason enough why anyone following the fallout from explosions last September that ripped holes in three of the four Nord Stream pipelines in the Baltic Sea supplying Russian gas to Europe should be wary of accepting anything Western agencies have to say on the matter. TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/ In fact, the only thing that Western publics should trust is the consensus among investigators that the three simultaneous blasts deep underwater on the pipelines a fourth charge apparently failed to detonate were sabotage, not some freak coincidental accident. Someone blew up the Nord Stream pipelines, creating an untold environmental catastrophe as the pipes leaked huge quantities of methane, a supremely active global-warming gas. It was an act of unrivaled industrial and environmental terrorism. If Washington had been able to pin the explosions on Russia, as it initially hoped, it would have done so with full vigor. There is nothing Western states would like more than to intensify world fury against Moscow, especially in the context of NATOs express efforts to weaken Russia through a proxy war waged in Ukraine. But, after the claim made the rounds of front pages for a week or two, the story of Russia destroying its own pipelines was quietly shelved. That was partly because it seemed too difficult to maintain a narrative in which Moscow chose to destroy a critical part of its own energy infrastructure. Not only did the explosions cause Russia great financial harm the countrys gas and oil revenues regularly financed nearly half of its annual budget but the blasts removed Moscows chief influence over Germany, which had been until then heavily dependent on Russian gas. The initial media story required the Western public to believe that President Vladimir Putin willingly shot himself in the foot, losing his only leverage over European resolve to impose economic sanctions on his country. But even more than the complete lack of a Russian motive, Western states knew they would be unable to build a plausible forensic case against Moscow for the Nord Stream blasts. Instead, with no chance to milk the explosions for propaganda value, official Western interest in explaining what had happened to the Nord Stream pipelines wilted, despite the enormity of the event. That was reflected for months in an almost complete absence of media coverage. When the matter was raised, it was to argue that separate investigations by Sweden, Germany and Denmark were all drawing a blank. Sweden even refused to share any of its findings with Germany and Denmark, arguing that to do so would harm its national security. No one, again including the Western media, raised an eyebrow or showed a flicker of interest in what might be really going on behind the scenes. Western states and their compliant corporate media seemed quite ready to settle for the conclusion that this was a mystery cocooned in an enigma. Isolated and friendless It might have stayed that way forever, except that in February, a journalist one of the most acclaimed investigative reporters of the past half-century produced an account that finally demystified the explosions. Drawing on at least one anonymous, highly placed informant, Seymour Hersh pointed the finger for the explosions directly at the US administration and President Joe Biden himself.","['URW: Hidden plots by secret schemes of powerful groups', 'URW: Russia is the Victim', 'URW: Distrust towards Media', 'URW: Discrediting the West, Diplomacy']","['URW: Hidden plots by secret schemes of powerful groups: Other', 'URW: Russia is the Victim: The West is russophobic', 'URW: Distrust towards Media: Western media is an instrument of propaganda', 'URW: Discrediting the West, Diplomacy: The EU is divided']",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0

Nikolai Patrushev, a close Putin ally and the secretary of Russias Security Council, said Russia and China should deepen cooperation in the face of the Wests attempt to contain them both. He was quoted by the Interfax news agency as saying that the talks in Beijing would be thorough, at a meeting in Moscow with Chinas top diplomat, Wang Yi. Putin will attend the third Belt and Road Forum after an invitation by Xi during a high-profile visit to Moscow in March. Days before that visit, the International Criminal Court (ICC) issued a warrant for Putins arrest on suspicion of illegally deporting hundreds of children or more from Ukraine. Moscow denies the allegations and the Kremlin said the warrant was evidence of the Wests hostility to Russia, which opened a criminal case against the ICC prosecutor and the judges who issued the warrant. Russias full-scale invasion of Ukraine early last year has triggered one of the deadliest European conflicts since World War Two and the biggest confrontation between Moscow and the West since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Putin has pivoted towards China, and Xi has stood by him. Chinese-Russian trade has soared since the invasion, and Russia has sold Asian powers including China greater volumes of the oil it can no longer sell to the West because of sanctions. Putin last visited Beijing in February 2022, days before the invasion, where he and Xi announced a no limits partnership. Moscow says this does not mean a military alliance, however. The United States sees China as its gravest long-term strategic competitor and Russia as an acute threat. China has refrained from condemning Russias operation against Ukraine or calling it an invasion, in line with the Kremlin, which casts the war as a special military operation.

In a bombshell interview with Polish news outlet dorzeczy.pl, Oleksyi Arestovych slammed his former boss for his increasingly overbearing behavior and believes he has fallen victim to delusions of grandeur and a belief that he is all-powerful. Arestovych cited Zelenskys response to the ongoing diplomatic conflict over the dumping of Ukrainian grain as an example, accusing the presidents office of behaving as if it has a decisive voice in the European Union rather than being a country aspiring to join the bloc. The former adviser, who himself is a possible candidate in any future Ukrainian presidential election, expressed his fear that Zelensky has become deluded into thinking he now rules the globe. His diplomacy concentrates on making demands and using moral blackmail to claim Ukraine is fighting for the West, said Arestovych, who claimed this tactic may have been successful at the beginning of the conflict but is no longer effective. The West is increasingly irritated by Ukraines arrogance, he added. Arestovych claimed that Zelenskys behavior had led to tension among Kyivs closest allies including Poland and Romania, while its relations with the U.S. and the U.K. have also cooled. The West will continue to support Ukraine because it is in the Wests own interests to do so, but it may well stop supporting the current Ukrainian government and back an alternative, he warned. However, Arestovych was dismissive of the argument that Ukraine was colluding with Germany against Poland, claiming that this is only purely due to the fact that Ukraine has no clear foreign policy under Zelensky. Ukraine wants Germany to be a counter-balance to Russia and that is why Ukraine backs its ambitions of securing a permanent seat in the UN Security Council, the former advisor told the Polish news outlet. Arestovych admitted that Poland could have gotten more out of Ukraine on issues related to the Volhynia massacre by pursuing a more transactional policy towards the country, but that would not have been beneficial to it in the longer term. Even if Zelensky is ungrateful for all the help selflessly offered by Poland, Ukrainian people are grateful and that will be more important in the longer term, he assured. ...","['URW: Discrediting Ukraine', 'URW: Discrediting the West, Diplomacy']","['URW: Discrediting Ukraine: Discrediting Ukrainian government and officials and policies', 'URW: Discrediting the West, Diplomacy: The West does not care about Ukraine, only about its interests']",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

Nixon favorably compared the standard of living of American suburbanites to that of their Russian counterparts under Communism. Criticizing Soviet society was a serious crime in those days, but I doubt that the Russians ever considered arresting Nixon and giving him a ten year stretch in the gulag for anti-Soviet agitation. Not even Maoist China at the height of its Cultural Revolution would have considered such a thing. TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/ But late last week, on the eve of a Russia-China leadership summit in Moscow, Europes International Criminal Court (ICC) in the Hague issued an arrest warrant for Russian President Vladimir Putin, the man who controls the worlds largest nuclear arsenal, whose striking power is further enhanced by its revolutionary hypersonic delivery systems. The charges against Putin were that he had ordered the humanitarian evacuation of children from the dangerous Ukraine warzone, and the ICC also ordered the arrest of Maria Lvova-Belova, the Russian Commissioner for Childrens Rights. Yet oddly enough, no ICC action had ever been taken against American Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who had famously declared in 1996 that the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children brought about by the American economic sanctions she supported was worth it. Indeed, in 2016 National Security Advisor John Bolton leveled harsh threats against ICC judges if they dared take legal action against any Americans accused of torture and murder, and many have noticed the strange lack of ICC even-handedness over the years.

Taken together, Russia and China control a substantial fraction of the worlds natural resources and industrial capacity, and although their global propaganda presence is weak, those former factors are more important as elements of real world power.

Former Fox News star Carlson released a two-hour interview with Putin in Moscow last Thursday, just ahead of the two-year anniversary of Russia's offensive in Ukraine. In it, the Russian president said the West needed to understand that it was ""impossible"" for Russia to be defeated in Ukraine. ""Since we are not able to have direct dialogue (with the West) today... we have to be grateful to Mr Carlson to be able to do it by his intermediary"" role, Putin told journalists in quotes distributed by the Kremlin. Even so, Putin said he was ""not totally satisfied"" with the interview, the first he has given to a Western journalist since launching his offensive in Ukraine. It has been seen more than 200 million times on X, formerly Twitter. Putin's disappointment, though, seemed to stem from his hopes for a more bellicose exchange, saying that he expected Carlson to be more ""aggressive"" and was waiting for ""difficult questions"". ""I was not only ready for that but I was hoping for it because that would have allowed me to reply in the same manner,"" Putin said. Carlson came in for criticism from Western media for the lack of tough questions in the interview, in which Putin lectured him on his views of Russian history, portraying the country as a victim of Western betrayals. Putin acknowledged that Carlson had ""tried to interrupt me several times"" but praised the conservative journalist, who is close to former US president Donald Trump, for his ""patience"". The Russian leader did complain, though, that his quotes were ""deformed"" in Western media. Share your experiences, suggestions, and any issues you've encountered on The Jakarta Post.

A MoU was signed to this effect between both companies whereby TGA will collect and transform scrap materials from Unity Foods to create a diverse array of recycled products intended for reuse. The initiative aims to facilitate the circular economy by mitigating the impact of single-use plastics that contribute significantly towards the deterioration of global ecosystems. Unity Foods regularly undertakes lasting projects that align with its objectives to reduce the impact of conventional industrialisation on the environment. Under the current partnership with The Green Ark, a leading recycling solutions provider, Unity Foods will not only ensure the traceability of its packaging waste but also highlight a robust commitment to a greener environment by contributing to the circular economy. With an average of more than 13,000 kilogrammes of waste every month including items like garbage debris, oily pouches, plastic jerry cans, tin scraps, plastic bags, and cardboard cartons, a substantial amount of materials will be recycled which will not end up in landfills or incinerators that ultimately damage nature. Global warming is a present and potent threat, especially for Pakistan which despite producing a negligible level of greenhouse gases, faces the brunt of the consequences of this global phenomenon. At Unity Foods, we always aim to set a precedent, particularly with our ESG practices that underscore our commitment to ensuring our children can inherit a safe and healthy planet.

Moscow launched 57 missiles and drones in the attack that also targeted Kyiv, two days after the largest aerial bombardment of Ukraines energy system in more than two years of full-scale war, Kyiv said. There were two preliminary hits on the same critical infrastructure facility that the occupiers targeted at night, Lvivs regional governor, Maksym Kozytskyi, wrote on the Telegram messaging app. The strike used Kinzhal hypersonic missiles, which are harder to shoot down, he added, without identifying the facility. The energy ministry said equipment caught fire when a critical energy facility in the Lviv region was attacked, causing it to lose power. It was unclear whether they were talking about the same facility. Air defences destroyed 18 of 29 inbound missiles and 25 of 28 attack drones, the Ukranian air force said. There were almost no details about what had been damaged, but the targeting of critical infrastructure could indicate that Russia is trying to keep up pressure on the energy system after its strikes caused widespread blackouts on March 22. The energy ministry said that Ukraine, which has been exporting power in recent weeks, had sharply increased imports of electricity and stopped exports on March 24 after attacks on the energy system. Several explosions rang out in Kyiv in the early hours as air defences destroyed about a dozen missiles over the capital and in its vicinity, according to Serhiy Popko, head of Kyivs military administration. There was only minor damage from the attack, he said. Small groups of people huddled for safety underground in a central Kyiv metro station in the early hours, some of them sleeping on camping mats. Moscow has been pounding Ukraine for days in attacks portrayed by Moscow as revenge for Ukrainian attacks that were conducted during Russias presidential election. The wreckage of a downed Kh-55 cruise missile was found in a Kyiv park, officials said.

The object entered Polish space near the town of Oserdow [Lublin Voivodeship] and stayed there for 39 seconds, it said on X. During the entire flight, it was observed by military radar systems. Polands army spokesperson, Jacek Goryszewski, told reporters that the missile travelled about 2 kilometers (1.2 miles) into Polish airspace before returning to Ukraine.

Vladimir Putins thinly-veiled threat to nuke the West and insistence that he is ""not bluffing"" has caused panic across the world. Since the Cold War started, it has been assumed the threat of mutually assured destruction in which tit-for-tat strikes would destroy both parties would prevent a nuclear war. However, in a chilling threat this week, the unhinged Russian leader declared: ""When the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, we will use all the means at our disposal to defend Russia and our people, this is not a bluff."" With the dictators invasion of Ukraine meeting far stiffer resistance than expected and Western governments uniting against it, such desperate and terrifying measures appear more likely. When Putin announced his invasion, he warned the West that it would face consequences never encountered in your history if Nato was to interfere militarily. READ MORE IN NEWS So, could the nightmare come true? Putin certainly has the hardware for every scenario. At his disposal are an estimated 5,977 warheads, of which 1,600 are ready to be deployed. This terrifying arsenal can be launched from land, submarines and planes. They include non-strategic battlefield nukes which have a smaller destructive power and radioactive fallout and are intended to destroy military capabilities rather than civilian populations. They can be anything from land mines to torpedos. They have never been used in combat so far. Most read in The Sun Russia also has the more feared strategic nuclear weapons, which can be launched as warheads on powerful long-range missiles. They include intercontinental ballistic missiles which would take just 20 minutes to get to Britain and 30 to the US. These strategic weapons, with deliberately terrifying names such as Satan, are designed to wipe out entire cities. Unleashing such weapons would come with a huge amount of risk for Putin. He knows Nato forces have an equally deadly stockpile, with the US retaining 5,428 warheads alongside the UKs 225 and Frances 290. But he may not care about retaliation. The Russian leader suggested in 2018 he would be willing to see his homeland destroyed in a nuclear conflict. He said: If someone decides to annihilate Russia, we have the legal right to respond. Yes, it will be a catastrophe for humanity and for the world. But Im a citizen of Russia and its head of state. Why do we need a world without Russia in it? This, though, was clearly a threat to respond in kind if Russia is ever attacked first. Sam Ashworth-Hayes, of the Henry Jackson Society, told The Sun previously: I think there is only a risk of escalation if Nato forces did directly become involved in the war in Ukraine. The message from Vladimir Putin to the West is to stay out of our business, because we will escalate if you interfere. Nato has made it clear it has no intention of intervening militarily in Ukraine. But one Russian analyst speculated Putin might fire a nuclear warning shot our way. Pavel Felgenhauer, of the independently minded Novaya Gazeta, said: One option for him is to cut gas supplies to Europe, hoping that will make the Europeans climb down. Another option is to explode a nuclear weapon somewhere over the North Sea between Britain and Denmark and see what happens. And US intelligence spies fear Russia might have an escalate to de-escalate policy, which means if they should find themselves in conflict with Nato, they would threaten to use low-yield nukes in order to bring a war to an end. 'CONCERNING' Many wonder whether the former KGB spymaster has become unhinged enough to risk escalating a conflict in this way. But one expert believes this could be a ploy. Professor Andrew Wilson, from UCL, said: Putin is playing a bit on the crazy. The theory goes that if people think I am mad enough to use them then that plays to my advantage. However, Mr Ashworth-Hayes thinks use of nukes is unlikely. He said: It is important for people to stay calm. Tensions are very high, but there is no chance of either side launching nuclear weapons.

Our current plan is not to replenish that stockpile, Sullivan told NBC News Meet the Press. . It is rather to build up the capacity to produce the unitary round of the 155, the non-cluster munition round of ammunition, he said. Earlier this month, President Biden opted to send the divisive ammunition to Ukraine and publicly acknowledged he was prompted to do so because the military is running low on 155 mm artillery ammunition rounds. A chorus of critics both abroad and at home decried the decision, citing the grave dangers cluster munitions pose to civilians given their dud rates. Sullivan echoed Bidens defense that the US must supply Ukraine with adequate firepower. We began that process months ago was we anticipated the need for continuing supply Ukraine, but it takes time and that is why we need a bridge from today, he said, referencing steps to boost production of 155 mm rounds. We need to ensure that Ukraine has the necessary supply of ammunition to a few months down the road, when we believe we can supply enough of the unitary round to meet Ukraines defense needs. Cluster bombs are prohibited by over 100 countries across the world, including multiple NATO members. Military officials claim the cluster bombs being sent to Ukraine have a dud rate of around 2.35% or less markedly lower than the roughly 30% and 40% dud rate estimated for Russias cluster munitions being deployed against Ukraine. The dud rate refers to the likelihood of the bomblets in the cluster munitions not exploding after being deployed. Bomblets that are duds may detonate long after being deployed. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin previously committed to having the US help Ukraine scour and clean up duds from those munitions. Sullivan insisted dissemination of the controversial bombs doesnt undercut US moral authority. Our moral authority and Ukraines moral authority in this conflict comes from the fact that we are supporting a country under brutal, vicious attack by its neighbor with missiles and bombs raining down in its cities, killing its civilians, destroying its schools, its churches, its hospitals, he said. The idea that providing Ukraine with a weapon in order for them to be able to defend their homeland, protect their civilians is somehow a challenge for moral authority I find questionable, he added. Last week, NATO held a summit in Vilinius, lithuania, and ahead of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskys visit there, he slammed NATO allies for their position on admitting the war-torn nation into the powerful alliance. Sullivan reiterated the US position that Ukraine can receive admittance once it wraps up the necessary reforms to meet the alliances democracy requirements. We could have said it more clearly, Sullivan said, alluding to a NATO communique. Ukraines future will be in NATO. Period full stop. That was a single, clear sentence.

As caretaker Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar leads Pakistans representation, transparency emerges as a cornerstone for effective policy-making and attracting climate-related financing. The IMFs recommendation to make the FY 2024-25 budget a turning point for climate adaptation planning underscores the imperative to integrate climate considerations into financial decisions. Seeking transparency on climate-related actions with budgetary implications aligns with the global recognition of the need to harmonise financial decisions with climate goals. This emphasis reflects an acknowledgment that fiscal sustainability analysis under diverse climate change scenarios is vital for informed decision-making. Despite capacity constraints, the urgent call to train staff for climate initiatives underscores the necessity of investing in the nations ability to navigate climate challenges. Strengthening the capacity of relevant ministries, including the Ministry of Climate Change, Planning Commission, and Climate Change Authority, aligns with broader goals such as achieving National Climate Change Policy (NCCP) and National Determined Contributions (NDC) targets. The IMFs recommendation to publish climate-related spending for FY 2023-24, coupled with advancing green budgeting, signifies a commitment to transparency and accountability. Extending the green tracking system to all provinces, supported by the controller general of accounts, emphasises the need for a comprehensive and inclusive approach. As part of the ongoing $3 billion standby arrangement, fulfilling the structural benchmark regarding climate public investment plans is crucial for meeting international commitments. Strengthening the appraisal process for investments and projects, including specific guidance on climate factors, ensures comparability and alignment with climate targets. The IMFs holistic advice to adapt the entire budget formulation and approval process to climate change requirements signifies a forward-looking approach. Integrating summary information in budget papers, specifying the number and value of climate-related projects, and considering major current issues like flood recovery and projects of public interest ensures a comprehensive alignment with climate-conscious financial decisions. The IMFs call for enhanced transparency in Pakistans budgetary considerations for climate adaptation, amidst the nations active engagement at COP28, is pivotal for shaping a sustainable future. As Pakistan seeks international support, a commitment to transparency and climate-conscious financial decisions will play a crucial role in navigating the global shift towards sustainable practices.",['Other'],['Other'],0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

This speculation is nothing new, but whats different this time around is that the attempted assassination of Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico will be on every voters mind, thus likely influencing the outcome. The preceding hyperlinked analysis argued that fake news was responsible for radicalizing the pro-Ukrainian suspect into thinking that shooting his premier was a legitimate form of protest against what hed been misled by the media into believing was his pro-Russian dictator with blood on his hands. This black swan event might have served the short-term interests of that leaders many enemies, but the blowback could be considerable if it leads to a conservative landslide during next months elections. Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban predicted that the upcoming vote will influence the direction of war and peace in Europe, and while the European Parliament admittedly cant do much in terms of shaping the NATO-Russian proxy war in Ukraine, it could still exert positive pressure if conservatives win. Its with that in mind that Eurocrats like von der Leyen and Jourova are fearmongering about Russian meddling since they want to preemptively discredit this potential outcome. To be sure, the first of those two had no idea that an assassination attempt would be made against Fico the day after she shared her earlier mentioned warning, but the seconds assessment about the upcoming elections being a test of the blocs disinformation resilience came some days later. Instead of speaking vaguely about alleged Russian meddling, the Eurocrats are now honing their information warfare narrative to muddle the conversation about Ficos attempted assassination and its political aftermath. The targeted audience is the unclear number of on-the-fence voters who might usually lean liberal but have recently begun to sympathize with some conservative positions on issues like Ukraine. Last weeks incident was driven by the liberal medias fake news about the Slovak leader, which might influence some of these voters to give the more narratively responsible conservatives their support. In an attempt to desperately prevent this, the Eurocrats want them think that it would be doing Russias bidding. If the European Parliamentary elections have absolutely no effect on anything, then they wouldnt care who votes for whom, but the outcome will clearly at the very least have a major impact on popular perceptions and could lead to cascading consequences like more anti-war protests across the bloc. Its for this reason that the Eurocrats and their media allies, including those being promoted by state-run Ukrainian outlets like this one here, are pushing the abovementioned information warfare narrative. The growing gap between liberals and conservatives over Ukraine, which is foreign policy issue that Fico was most closely associated with, is naturally occurring as a result of their polar opposite worldviews and not due to Russian meddling. Its so emotive and significant that some from both sides have become single-issue voters wholl cast their ballots purely based on candidates positions towards this. Attempting to discredit this trend as being due to Russian meddling is disrespectful to democracy.","['URW: Distrust towards Media', 'URW: Russia is the Victim', 'URW: Distrust towards Media']","['URW: Distrust towards Media: Western media is an instrument of propaganda', 'URW: Russia is the Victim: The West is russophobic', 'URW: Distrust towards Media: Ukrainian media cannot be trusted']",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0

Some of these influencers are also being recruited to situation rooms to monitor the spread of the fake news, the report added. Meanwhile, Nigeria is grappling with widespread fuel shortages that are forcing motorists to spend hours in lines to buy gas and causing prices to surge for transportation and basic commodities. Russias war in Ukraine has caused prices to import fuel go up by more than 100% but retailers complain they can only charge the price set by the government, causing them to operate at a loss. The cost of transporting gasoline to the depots has gone up by 80% in the past few months. Gasoline shortages are frequent in Nigeria even though the country is one of Africas biggest producers of crude oil.

The preparations are for a long-term confrontation. A growing number of Western rulers have also warned of a military threat from Russia to countries along the eastern flank of NATO, calling for Europe to get prepared by rearming. The chief of the intelligence service said the assessment was based on Russian plans to double the number of forces stationed along its border with NATO members Finland and the Baltic States of Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia. Russia has chosen a path which is a long-term confrontation and the Kremlin is probably anticipating a possible conflict with NATO within the next decade or so, Kaupo Rosin told reporters at the release of Estonias national security threats report, according to a report by The New York Post. TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/ Rosin claimed that a military attack by Russia is highly unlikely in the short term, partly because Russia has to keep troops in Ukraine, and that would be unlikely if the Russian buildup of forces was matched in Europe. If we are not prepared, the likelihood (of a military Russian attack) would be much higher than without any preparation, Rosin added. Estonia and the other Baltic States have increased their military spending to over 2% of the value of their economies after Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, and NATO allies have raised their presence in those countries. Germany plans to have 4,800 combat-ready troops in the region by 2027, in its first permanent foreign deployment since World War Two, and Rosin said NATO and its allies were moving in the right direction to counter the Russian threat. The New York Post. Russia has repeatedly warned that it will go to war with NATO if the Wests weapons defeat Russia, or lethal aid is sent to Ukraine. One could argue that the West has crossed that line, but Russia has yet to follow through with an attack on NATO. Russia Warns NATO A Nuclear War Will Ensue If Western Weapons Defeat Russia The bad news is that Russias ability to provide ammunition to its troops is continuing to outweigh Ukraines.

The anonymous author of the Moon of Alabama website has a long and almost flawless record of accurately exposing realities that mainstream U.S.-and-allied news-media had been hiding, and the latest such is his June 13th Did Russia Destroy The Nova Kakhovka Dam? His report there turns upside-down and inside-out the Ukrainian Governments explanation that the dam had been bombed not by a missile, but by an explosive device which had been placed there by saboteurs whom Ukraines Government assumes were from Russia. U.S.-Government-approved news-media accept and amplify that assumption, but MoA does not. TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/ First, he quotes the New York Times and other U.S. Government mouthpieces presenting the Ukrainian Governments explanation of the blow-up; and then he rips it apart by noting the extremely relevant (but in U.S.-and-occupied lands ignored) fact, that on May 12th, Britain had supplied to Ukraine its Storm Shadow missiles that are designed to have a two-stage bombing-operation: first, a normal surface bomb, but then after it a fuse-ignited ground-penetrating bomb to explode deeper inside even a fortified and hardened underground target such as that dam was apparently blown up. The British-supplied Storm Shadow weapon is perfect for this type of destruction exploding from deep underground, instead of from the surface. And whereas Russia doesnt have any Storm Shadows, Ukraine definitely does ever since May 12th. The present news-report about U.S.-and-allied lies is being simultaneously submitted for publication by all of the standard U.S.-Government mouthpiece propaganda-media, just in case any of them might finally want to go beyond their standard U.S.-Government-approved sources. Ever since at least late 2022, Russia has been warning that Ukraines government wants to blow up that dam. For example, on 1 November 2022, Reuters headlined Russia announces wider evacuation of occupied southern Ukraine, and reported that, Due to the possibility of the use of prohibited methods of war by the Ukrainian regime, as well as information that Kyiv is preparing a massive missile strike on the Kakhovka hydroelectric station, there is an immediate danger of the Kherson region being flooded, Vladimir Saldo, Russian-installed head of occupied Kherson province, said in a video message. Given the situation, I have decided to expand the evacuation zone by 15 km from the Dnipro, he said. The decision will make it possible to create a layered defence in order to repel Ukrainian attacks and protect civilians. Moscow has accused Kyiv of planning to use a so-called dirty bomb to spread radiation, or to blow up a dam to flood towns and villages in Kherson province. Kyiv says accusations it would use such tactics on its own territory are absurd, but that Russia might be planning such actions itself to blame Ukraine. Saldo, the Russian-imposed occupation leader for the province, identified seven towns on the east bank that would now be evacuated, comprising the main populated settlements along that stretch of the river. Even U.S.-and-allied news-media occasionally report relevant facts when they find them useful to mention in a news-report that has an anti-Russian spin. So: we know that Russias Government was trying to protect the residents in that region against this attack, but U.S.-and-allied news-media have unquestioningly accepted the Ukrainian governments accusation that Russias Government did it. And, now, an extremely likely explanation has finally been provided, which implicates both Ukraines government and UKs Government as having done it.","['URW: Distrust towards Media', 'URW: Discrediting Ukraine', 'URW: Amplifying war-related fears', 'URW: Russia is the Victim', 'URW: Praise of Russia', 'URW: Russia is the Victim']","['URW: Distrust towards Media: Western media is an instrument of propaganda', 'URW: Discrediting Ukraine: Discrediting Ukrainian military', 'URW: Amplifying war-related fears: There is a real possibility that nuclear weapons will be employed', 'URW: Russia is the Victim: The West is russophobic', 'URW: Praise of Russia: Russia is a guarantor of peace and prosperity', 'URW: Russia is the Victim: Russia actions in Ukraine are only self-defence']",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0

Tucker Carlson interviewed Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Kremlin last week. Everyone, even the Davos/UK dominated media, has put forth their opinion on it.

In other words, as opposed to dealing with the information presented and the motivations of the people involved, most media outlets and commentators put forth their opinion on whether this interview satisfied their needs from it. So, for the hardcore geopolitical types and armchair psychoanalysts, we heard a lot of opinions second-guessing Putins strategy to open the interview with a nearly thirty minute recitation of Russian/Ukrainian history. Why would he do this, was the common refrain. Ill use my former-bellwether-for-normies, Scott Adams, as an example of this. How many of you thought Putin was all there in the Tucker interview? If he seemed lucid to you, its because Biden is your comparison. I thought Putin seemed unhinged. The history lesson was not a good sign. https://t.co/VZiEIHRZ2t Scott Adams (@ScottAdamsSays) February 9, 2024 This was the kindest of the bad takes I found on this. But Im having one of Scotts One movie, two screens, moments here. Because Putin looked anything other than unhinged. In fact, he looked as calm as Ive ever seen him, taking a relaxed posture to put Carlson, who was clearly unsure of where he stood at the beginning of the interview, at ease. But this is the message that Adams wanted to see, framing Putin in relation to Biden, because he needed something unique to say to justify his even being in the conversation. By contrast, Martin Armstrong had a great post curating all of the crazy Neocon takes from the media on his blog over the weekend. Whats obvious from those is that they understood that Putins 30 minute opening monologue would put off a lot of casual watchers who would tune him out at that point. So, their analysis focused on steering the conversation to Putins false history of Russia and Ukraine. This way that false history would dominate everyones opinions the next day, managing the Overton Window of the entire interview, making it all about that. This would be the basis of how they discredit Putin. Then to discredit Carlson, people like Hillary Clinton was trotted out to lie about Tucker Carlson, calling him a useful idiot, and puppy dog and a joke in Russian media, which is an outright lie. Hillarys harpy laugh made an appearance alongside a sycophant interviewer as they joked about Carlsons having been fired from every legitimate news agency. We were treated to a common sight: Two Beltway insiders laughing inside their echo chamber and only our sick fascination with roadkill makes it even remotely interesting.

The U.S. and its European allies have promised punishing economic and political sanctions if Russia moves its military into Ukraine, but worry about repercussions for Europeans from any such sanctions, including Russia potentially cutting off delivery of its natural gas to Europe at the height of winter. Putin has deployed roughly 100,000 troops near Ukraines border for weeks, sparking a diplomatic crisis for Europe and the United States. He denies any intention of invasion. Any U.S. and European measures against Russia in the event of an invasion also have consequences for others, including us, Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken said in remarks as part of a lecture series Monday night. Theres a cost imposed on everyone, Blinken said. But we have done a tremendous amount of work to mitigate any effects of sanctions on those ... imposing them, as well as any retaliatory action that Russia might take. Two senior U.S. administration officials separately briefed reporters Tuesday about efforts by Bidens national security team to deal with any knock-on effects from sanctions. The officials spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the deliberations. Western embassies are also moving some of their staff out of Kyiv If needed, Europe would look to natural gas supplies in North Africa, the Middle East, Asia and the United States. The effort would require rather smaller volumes from a multitude of sources to make up for a Russian cutoff, according to one of the officials. The Biden administration has acknowledged that Russian President Vladimir Putin has high tolerance for the damage to Russias economy that would come with sanctions. But officials said the start high, stay high approach to penalties that they have told Moscow they would take could influence Putins calculations. One official said sanctions could spur inflation in Russia in the mid-teens and even, according to the second official, a deep recession that would not help Putin win hearts and minds among his compatriots. In the U.S., a group representing large industrial energy users and manufacturers that oppose export of U.S. natural gas appeared open to considering an exception for helping Europeans weather any possible cutoff of Russian natural gas. Ukraines leaders are seeking to reassure their jittery citizens that an invasion from neighboring Russia is not imminent, despite a troop buildup. The group, Industrial Energy Consumers of America, has asked Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm to limit exports of liquefied natural gas, or LNG. Surging U.S. exports have helped drive up natural gas prices, the group argues. Paul Cicio, the groups president, told reporters on Tuesday that his group had not taken a position on how the U.S. should respond to tensions between Russia and Europe over natural gas. My own personal view is that if Europe needs gas, the U.S. should be there to supply our allies, Cicio said, noting that China is the top recipient of U.S. gas exports. Do we have capacity to supply our allies? Absolutely, Cicio said. But maybe we dont have capacity to ship to China. So we need to be sensitive to the political crisis.

A video shared on Facebook claims the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is purportedly planning to inject ice particles into the atmosphere to fight climate change. Verdict: False The claim is false. The idea was proposed via a study conducted by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and serves as a collaboration between NOAA and NASA, but has not been put into practice. A NASA spokesperson denied the claims validity in an email to Check Your Fact. Fact Check: A fresh group of NASA astronauts who just completed basic training will participate in the first Boeing Starliner test launch in May, according to Space.com. The launch will be a week-long mission, the outlet reported. In the Facebook video, an unnamed male claims NASA is purportedly planning to inject ice particles into the atmosphere to fight climate change based on an article from Unilad. The video, which originally stems from TikTok, has garnered over 1,000 views as of writing. The claim is false, however. The Unilad article, published on Mar. 1, 2024, makes it clear that injecting ice particles into the atmosphere is only a proposed solution and has not been put into practice. The article also indicates the proposal is a collaboration between NASA and NOAA and references a recent piece from the Daily Mail that cites a study conducted by NOAA physicist Josh Schwarz. According to the study, the concept is called intentional stratospheric dehydration and would involve dispersing small particles (known as ice nuclei) into high altitude regions of the atmosphere that are both very cold and super-saturated in water vapor. These nuclei would increase the formation of ice crystals that otherwise would not have formed. This [ISD] strategy would not counteract a large fraction of the forcing from carbon dioxide but may contribute to a portfolio of climate interventions by acting with different time and length scales of impact and risk than other interventions that are already under consideration, Schwarz and his co-authors wrote in the same study. Likewise, Check Your Fact found no credible news reports to support the claim. In fact, the opposite is true. Both Lead Stories and USA Today debunked the claim in Mar. 8 and Mar. 15 articles, respectively. (RELATED: No, 80 Percent Of Texas Cattle Grazing Land Was Not Destroyed By Recent Fires) Additionally, the claim is neither referenced on NASAs website nor its verified social media accounts. NOAA also has not publicly commented on the claim. NASA Spokesperson Allard Beutel denied the claims validity in an email to Check Your Fact. This is an unfortunate mischaracterization of a study done by another agency.

First of all, Kyiv needs to be provided with long-range missiles. This was the call to the West made by Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas in an interview with The Kyiv Independent published on Sunday, January 14. In her opinion, this is the only way to repel the aggressor country. The head of the Estonian government reminded that Tallinn had officially decided to provide Kyiv with annual aid of 0.25% of its GDP over the next 4 years. She called on partners and allies to make the same decision. Kallas said that the joint budgets of the countries that are members of the Ramstein format contact group on Ukraine's defense are ""much larger"" than Russia's budget. ""Every month, Moscow spends about 5.3 billion euros on the war. If we take the total budgets and this 0.25% of the GDP of all the states of the Ramstein coalition, it will be 120 billion. Such assistance would turn the tide in Ukraine's favor. The partners should provide Kyiv with all the military equipment they have,"" said the Estonian prime minister. The absence of long-range weapons in the Ukrainian army gives the Russian occupation forces an advantage to seize more territories, Kallas noted. ""If they (Russians - Ed.) think they can win, then of course they don't feel threatened and just keep hitting Ukraine,"" the official said. She also added that some Western countries are afraid that Moscow will lose and what consequences it will have. According to Kallas, the main task now is to end the war. Speaking in the Estonian parliament on January 11, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Ukraine must win the battle against Russia because it is about the survival of the Ukrainian people. As OBOZ.UA previously reported, the head of state called on the West to strengthen support for Ukraine. He emphasized that the Armed Forces of Ukraine need more shells, and they will move forward.

The head of the Polish National Security Bureau, Jacek Siewiera, said in a post on social media X that Poland would send military advisers to its NATO ally Finland, in response to an official request for allied support in the face of a hybrid attack on the Finnish border. A team of military advisers will provide on-site knowledge on border security, also in operational terms, he said. Finland said on Thursday it was unaware of the Polish offer. It has closed its entire 1,340 km (833 mile) border with Russia for two weeks in a bid to halt an unusually large flow of asylum seekers that Helsinki says amounts to a hybrid attack orchestrated by Moscow, a charge the Kremlin denies. Asked about the Polish offer to Finland during a call with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said: This is an absolutely redundant measure to ensure border security because there is no threat there. The Finns must be clearly aware that this will pose a threat to us - an increase in the concentration of military units on our borders. Any planned deployment would be unprovoked and unjustified, said Peskov. Finlands Border Guard and the interior ministry both said they were unaware of any plan to bring Polish military advisers to Finlands eastern border. Finnish President Sauli Niinisto held talks with his Polish counterpart Andrzej Duda in Warsaw last week but they did not discuss military cooperation on the Finnish border with Russia, Niinistos office said in a statement to Reuters. Finland infuriated Russia earlier this year when it joined NATO, ending decades of military non-alignment, due to the war in Ukraine.","['URW: Blaming the war on others rather than the invader', 'URW: Negative Consequences for the West', 'URW: Discrediting the West, Diplomacy', 'URW: Discrediting the West, Diplomacy']","['URW: Blaming the war on others rather than the invader: The West are the aggressors', 'URW: Negative Consequences for the West: The conflict will increase the Ukrainian refugee flows to Europe', 'URW: Discrediting the West, Diplomacy: The West is overreacting', 'URW: Discrediting the West, Diplomacy: The EU is divided']",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
+EN_UA_011260.txt,"Russia has a clear plan to resolve the conflict in Ukraine The conflict in Ukraine may end either by diplomatic or military means. However, it can be possible only after Moscow achieves its goals. ""An opportunity to resolve the conflict will appear only when Ukraine ceases to pose a threat to Russia and discriminate against Russian-speaking Ukrainians, Vasily Nebenzya, Russia's Ambassador to the UN Security Council, said at a briefing at the UN Security Council. ""If this result can be achieved through negotiations, we are ready for such a scenario. If not, then our objectives will be achieved by military means,"" he added. Russia is not fighting against the Ukrainian people. Russia is fighting against the criminal nationalist regime that came to power in 2014 after the coup in Kyiv, the diplomat said. ""The new Ukrainian leadership is trying to purge the country of everything connected with Russia and glorify Nazi accomplices. <> ""The Kyiv regime and its most rabid patrons have forgotten the meaning of the word ""peace."" It is no coincidence that the European Union finances arms supplies to Kyiv through the European Peace Fund, without even thinking about how blasphemous it sounds and looks. <> ""Ukraine, in fact, has become a NATO PMC. It gets money, weapons and intelligence data. Ukraine receives instructions which targets to attack and where. It is the Ukrainian people who suffer from this in the first place and the people of Ukraine are forced to fight for the sake of someone else's tasks."" However, the Russian Ambassador to the UN said, everything could have ended differently for Ukraine, if Kyiv had implemented the now-defunct Minsk Agreements that were signed in 2014 and 2015 ""in an attempt to pave the way for peace by granting the Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics a special status as part of the Ukrainian state"". Former Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel and ex-president of France Francois Hollande later confirmed that neither sitting President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky, nor his predecessors, nor France and Germany, who were involved in the Minks Agreements process, never intended to fulfil them. This diplomatic process served only as a ""smoke screen"" behind which they secretly armed Ukraine against Russia. Merkel's and Hollande's confessions caused an uproar in Moscow. Russian officials called them a formalisation of betrayal. Interestingly, though, no one in the West was embarrassed about those statements. It appears that the West continues implementing its strategy. In December, Ukraine put forward the idea of the Global Peace Summit based on Zelensky's ""peace formula."" In that formula, among other things, Zelensky demanded Russia should withdraw its troops from all Ukrainian territories. Moscow dismissed the plan as it ignored the new status of Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, Kherson, Zaporozhye (Zaporizhzhia) regions and Crimea as part of Russia. Now Kyiv has a new ""idea"": The Ukrainian administration wants to hold a ""peace summit"" at UN headquarters in New York on February 24 (one year anniversary since the start of the special operation), but without Moscow's participation. According to The Associated Press, Ukrainian President Zelenskiy was planning to visit New York in February to address a high-level meeting of the 193-member General Assembly on the eve of the first anniversary of Russia's February 24 invasion of Ukraine.

In America, the scurrilous neocon and warmonger propagandist Max Boot weighed in on the meaningless and unenforcible decision to arrest President Putin. Boots argument is delusional, but then neocons thrive on lies and delusions. TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/ Propaganda, pure and simple. Boot is an accessory to mass murder, having advocated the invasion of Iraq, the slaughter of over a million Iraqis, and the engineered destruction of their country. The hypocritical ICC didnt bother to contrast and compare Putins supposed abduction of Ukrainian children to an organized mass kidnapping of Vietnamese children. It was dubbed Operation Babylift, ordered by then President Ford, and was conducted at the end of the Vietnam War as the USG evacuated, having lost the war. The Vietnamese children abducted without permission were described as orphans, although many had parents and relatives that were left behind. 3,300 children, described as infants (many were older children), were parceled out to families in America, Australia, West Germany, and France. The rescue of these children was an organized act of kidnapping pure and simple, yet in the Land of Amnesia, millions of Americans know nothing about it (or, for that matter, the Vietnam War itself and the brutal destruction of Southeast Asia). In 1975, a class action suit was filed in San Francisco on behalf of the kidnapped children. The suit seeks to enjoin adoption proceedings until it has been ascertained either that the parents or appropriate relatives in Vietnam have consented to their adoption or that these parents or relatives cannot be found, The Adoption History Project notes. The Complaint alleged that several of the Vietnamese orphans brought to the United States under Operation Babylift stated they are not orphans and that they wish to return to Vietnam. A statement issued on April 4, 1975, by professors of ethics and religion, pointed out that many of the children are not orphans; their parents or relatives may still be alive, although displaced, in Vietnam The Vietnamese children should be allowed to stay in Vietnam where they belong. The operation was celebrated by the corporate media and Hollywoods celebrity elite [and, as a propaganda event] generated a spectacle of celebration and emphasized that the babies were more than just average orphans, writes US History Scene. Uncritical acceptance of the Vietnam war orphans did not last long. A variety of American voices that ranged from child psychologists to news reporters to the casual observer soon began asking whether the evacuation served the best interests of the children. This concern followed closely on the heels of criticism over U.S. motivation for the evacuation. Much of this controversy began when the unclear orphan status of some of the children came to light. The government of South Vietnam reluctantly allowed so many children to leave the country only under the condition that those who left would already be in the adoption process. Volunteers processing the children found that not all of them fit into this category of orphan. In the processing centers, some of the children told the volunteers that they were not orphans and had families living back in Vietnam. Naturally, Operation Babylift is all but forgotten today. It would be counterproductive to the onslaught of USG and ICC propaganda, not directed at the welfare of children, but rather as a crude informational device to further turn opinion against Russias SMO to denazify and disarm Ukraine and, in addition, prevent NATO from undermining Russian national security.

The report highlights the increasingly heavy-handed treatment of eco activists in Australia, Germany, France, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, the UK, and the US, emphasizing that authorities in those nations are violating their legal commitments to protect basic human rights.

The 70-page report entitled On Thin Ice: Disproportionate Responses to Climate Change Protesters in Democratic Countries also highlights how such governments criticize authorities in developing nations for not respecting the right to peaceful protest. Governments too often take such a strong and principled view about the right to peaceful protest in other countries but when they dont like certain kinds of protests at home they pass laws and deploy the police to stop them, the executive director of Climate Rights International, Brad Adams, told The Guardian.

Governments in Western states are also adopting new laws to make the vast majority of protests illegal, and allowing more severe penalties for demonstrators, the report noted.

The embarrassing hack was intended as ""a symbolic act of moral humiliation."" Morgachev is Vladimir Putin's Lieutenant Colonel at Moscow's chief intelligence office, the GRU. It is believed he was in charge of Russia's notorious ""Fancy Bear"" hackers, also known as APT28. The hackers, who call themselves Cyber Resistance, claimed on Telegram that they had managed to break into Morgachev's email account. Then, they were able to access personal information such as family photos and scanned documents of people associated with him, according to the open-source intelligence site Info Nampalm. Referring to Morgachev in a message after the theft, the group said ""a very cool and clever hacker, but... We hacked him"". The hack is considered to appear ""pretty credible"" by Ukrainian hacking expert Stefan Soesanto, of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich. Info Nampalm reported that the hack confirmed Morgachev's identity by sifting through stolen personnel files. Among these was a document that showed him to be a department head in Unit 26165. The Russian hacker was accused by the FBI of holding the same position in 2018.

""Frankly speaking, I dont understand why they need this. This is an absolutely meaningless step from the point of view of ensuring their own national interests,"" Putin said.

Medvedev was reacting to the imminent signing of a security agreement between London and Kiev. Medvedev, who currently serves as deputy chair of the Russian Security Council, issued his warning in a social media post. A visit to Kiev on Friday by UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, who is set to sign a security agreement with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, would ensure British troops would be openly deployed to Ukraine. TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/ Sunaks arrival in the Ukrainian capital is meant to set out a major new package of support and reaffirm the close UK-Ukraine partnership, his office said in a statement.

The statement did not mention any plans for a British military deployment in Ukraine, however, it could be implied.

By 0724 GMT, the rouble was 1.4 percent weaker against the dollar at 100.84, passing the 100 threshold for the first time since March 23, 2022. It lost 1.5 percent to trade at 110.44 versus the euro, also a near 17-month low, and shed 1.3 percent against the yuan to 13.87. The rouble has chartered a turbulent course since Russia invaded Ukraine in February 2022, slumping to a record low of 120 against the dollar in March last year before recovering to a more than seven-year high a few months later, supported by capital controls and surging export revenues. Russia's central bank has blamed the rouble's weakening on falling export revenues and recovering imports, but a Kremlin aide on Monday said loose monetary policy was to blame, a sign of discord among Russia's monetary authorities. Brent crude oil LCOc1, a global benchmark for Russia's main export, was down 0.9% at $86.05 a barrel, not far from a more than seven-month high hit last week. The rouble, already under pressure amid robust demand for foreign currency and limited supply from exporting firms, has failed to benefit from strong oil prices.

+EN_CC_100235.txt,"Mitigating climate change brings economic benefits Editor's note: Jin Jun is an associate professor at the School of Management, Zhejiang University. The article reflects the author's opinions and not necessarily the views of CGTN. Mitigating climate change fosters a cooperative and symbiotic relationship between carbon neutrality, sustainable economic and social development, which is mainly manifested in the following two aspects. On the one hand, actions to mitigate climate change and improve the ecological environment can yield direct and indirect economic benefits for socio-economic development. Green and sustainable development can propel the growth of society, from enterprises and businesses to regions and whole nations. (1) New innovative entrepreneurial opportunities and job positions emerge in response to the need to slow climate change. Innovative entrepreneurship opportunities and employment positions related to carbon neutrality continue to sprout up. For example, as ""carbon"" becomes a strategic asset, enterprises have a substantial demand for professionals in carbon accounting and management, resulting in a surge of new job positions. Relevant technologies and market applications also attract a multitude of innovators and entrepreneurs. (2) The industrial revolution is evident during the process of mitigating climate change, as emerging industries rapidly develop and gradually replace existing ones. For instance, the swift development of the new energy industry and its supporting sectors in recent years has driven the development of the energy storage industry. Additionally, new energy vehicles are gradually replacing traditional fuel ones, leading to changes in the competition landscape and core technologies of the automotive industry. The application of digital and intelligent technology aids the manufacturing industry in achieving the goal of green transition and carbon neutrality, contributing to the high-end transformation of industries and enterprises. (3) Emerging strategic resources become crucial for enterprises to attract investment and financing. Green initiatives have become a resource for enterprises to attract investment and financing. ESG(environment, social and governance) ratings have become a crucial indicator of whether companies can obtain financing and loans. Carbon trading will also bring companies new revenue sources. Resources like sunlight, water, and wind have evolved into crucial resource endowments for enterprises and countries. Countries and regions abundant in these new and crucial strategic resources will witness shifts in their domestic and international influences. (4) Demonstration of international competitiveness and industry leadership is linked to the capacity for green innovation and the ability to achieve carbon neutrality. These factors influence the proactiveness and competitiveness of various organizations and countries in global business activities and international business affairs, as well as their international image and market reputation. These capabilities have become essential tools and means to address regional crises. Companies like CATL and BYD have become industry leaders in the global new energy market. Chinese enterprises have contributed to the sustainable environmental and social development of regions including Asia, Africa, and Latin America, facilitating their development and growth in these regions. Meanwhile, the implementation of the EUs Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), for example, demonstrates that the ability to reduce carbon emissions will affect enterprises import and export costs and international competitiveness. (5) Improved quality of life for people is a result of environmental protection and improvement, which reduces the adverse impact of harsh environments on health. This, in turn, lowers the demand for medical resources and elevates the overall quality of life, indirectly accelerating socio-economic development. On the other hand, socio-economic development further promotes innovative entrepreneurial activities that mitigate climate change. Market-driven technological applications propel the iterative upgrading of green technologies, thus driving overall technological innovation. When people benefit from improved ecological environments, they become more receptive to related technologies and innovations, thereby propelling the development of related technological innovations and entrepreneurial activities. Moreover, when companies benefit from improvements in the ecological environment, they enhance their competitiveness and innovative capacity, boosting their ability to innovate related technologies and undertake entrepreneurial activities. Therefore, the improvement of the ecological environment through mitigating climate change and the green and sustainable development of businesses are mutually influential and complementary, often leading to their coordinated development.",['Other'],['Other'],0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
+EN_UA_001052.txt,"NATO Cautiously Optimistic Amid Reports of Russian Troop Withdrawal After Russia announced Tuesday that it will pull out some troops from near the Ukrainian border, top NATO officials expressed that they are cautiously optimistic for a de-escalation of tensions. There are signs from Moscow that diplomacy should continue. This gives grounds for cautious optimism. But so far we have not seen any sign of de-escalation on the ground from the Russian side, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told reporters Tuesday morning following Russias announcement. Russia did not say how many units were being withdrawn, and how far, after a build-up of some 130,000 Russian troops to the north, east, and south of Ukraine. Video footage posted online by the Russian Defense Ministry Press Service on Tuesday allegedly showed Russian tanks moving back to their permanent bases and away from the border. NATO said that it has yet to see evidence of a de-escalation in the crisis. Russia has amassed a fighting force in and around Ukraine unprecedented since the cold war. Everything is now in place for a new attack, Stoltenberg said. But Russia still has time to step back from the brink, stop preparing for war and start working for a peaceful solution. The Kremlin said Tuesdays developments were proof that Western talk of war had been both false and hysterical. February 15, 2022 will go down in history as the day Western war propaganda failed. Humiliated and destroyed without a single shot fired, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement, according to Reuters. On Monday, Belarussian President Alexander Lukashenko told Russian media the United States and the West are trying to spark a conflict with recent statements about a possible invasion. Look, if we planned any war against Ukraine, the media would have behaved completely differently. Because the media is the modern wars bombardments, he said. France said it had yet to confirm the return of some Russian troops to bases, though this would be a positive sign. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, on the latest Western diplomatic mission to defuse the crisis, met Putin in the Kremlin. Over the past weekend and on Monday, White House officials called on Americans to leave Ukraine and asserted that an invasion could occur in the near future. No evidence was provided for the second claim. The U.S. Department of State also shut down its embassy in Kyiv and moved it to Lviv, located in the western part of Ukraine. We are in the process of temporarily relocating our Embassy operations in Ukraine from our Embassy in Kyiv to Lviv due to the dramatic acceleration in the buildup of Russian forces, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a statement. These prudent precautions in no way undermine our support for or our commitment to Ukraine. Our commitment to Ukraines sovereignty and territorial integrity is unwavering, Blinken added, noting that the path for diplomacy is available. Around the same time, confusion was sparked when Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky posted a statement on Facebook that said Russia would invade on Feb. 16.

The comments followed another Russian leaders threat to use the Satan-2 hypersonic nuclear missile to strike Britain and Finland in just 200 seconds and that the weapons could be used to hit the United States as well. As NATO foreign ministers gathered in Berlin, with discussion about potential applications from Sweden and Finland to join the Western military alliance on the agenda, Putin spoke to Finnish leader Sauli Niinisto. Nijnisto told Putin in the phone conversation that the traditionally non-aligned country will decide to apply for NATO membership in the coming days. Finland and Sweden, also traditionally neutral, are moving toward the applications in response to Russias invasion of Ukraine. In response, Russia cut off electricity supplies to Finland on Friday. Putin told Niinisto that Finlands abandonment of its traditional policy of military neutrality would be an error since there are no threats to Finlands security, the Kremlin said in a statement issued after the call. Such a change in the countrys foreign policy could negatively affect Russian-Finnish relations, which had been built in the spirit of good neighborliness and partnership for many years, and were mutually beneficial. Niinistos office said in a statement that he told Putin how starkly Finlands security environment had changed after Moscows Feb. 24 invasion of Ukraine. The exchange came amid escalating rhetoric over the potential for NATO to expand beyond its current 30 members. If Finland wants to join this bloc, then our goal is absolutely legitimate to question the existence of this state. This is logical, said Aleksey Zhuravlyov, 59, the deputy chairman of the Russian parliaments defense committee, said in an interview with The Mirror. The Finns in general should be grateful to Russia for their statehood, for the fact that Finland exists as a country. If the United States threatens our state, its good: here is the Sarmat [Satan-2] for you, and there will be nuclear ashes from you if you think that Russia should not exist, he continued. And Finland says that it is at one with the USA. Well, get in line. The Satan-2 is a ballistic missile capable of carrying 10 to 15 nuclear warheads, with an estimated destructive power of three megatons each. Russia wouldnt need to move nukes to its European border to carry out its threat, officials boasted. We can hit with a Sarmat [known in the West as Satan-2] from Siberia, and even reach the UK, he said. And if we strike from Kaliningrad the hypersonics reaching time is 200 seconds so go ahead, guys. On the Finnish border we will have not strategic weapons, but Kinzhal-class, one that will reach Finland in 20 seconds, or even 10 seconds.

While many people draw parallels between Hitler and Russian leader Vladimir Putin, there is one very clear difference: Putin has nukes. Nevertheless, while nuclear annihilation is a risk of escalation, appeasement of war criminals has never tamed them. If Putin is allowed to take Ukraine, what is to convince him, then, that taking Poland is not equally attainable? At this point, I dont like any of the alternatives. I think limited, conventional warfare is in order, utilizing lots of conventional high-tech weaponry. The war should not be escalated beyond that, even if Russia uses chemical or biological weapons. If the Kraken is already released, what choice do we have but to confront it? Denys Arcuri, Indio .. To the editor: Letter writers advocating escalating use of force by the U.S. and NATO in Ukraine illustrate how Euro-centric and frankly white-centric our global views are. The Russian invasion of Ukraine is horrific and needs to be addressed forcefully by the U.S. and its allies. But why should the U.S. and NATO engage in armed conflict in the latest global tragedy while ignoring or being responsible for much larger humanitarian disasters of the past few decades, which resulted in much higher fatalities? Like the invasion of Ukraine, these humanitarian disasters unleashed unthinkable death and destruction on innocent people.

Zelensky while there in Switzerland pressed Ukraine's case for the need to achieve air superiority. But Putin in his fresh remarks stressed that not only do Russian forces have the clear upper hand, but he emphasized for the first time that Ukrainian statehood itself risks an ""irreparable"" blow if the war continues. He stressed that Ukraine's military has already ""failed"". ""Not only has their counteroffensive failed, but the initiative is entirely in the hands of the Russian Armed Forces,"" Putin said in the televised remarks. ""If this continues, Ukraine's statehood could be dealt an irreparable, very serious blow,"" he added, but he didn't clarify further precisely what he meant by this. ""They are trying to show that they can also do something. But instead of solving military tasks, they act in such a barbaric way. Attacks are being carried out on peaceful settlements with indiscriminate weapons,"" Putin said in reference to the past several weeks of cross-border attacks on Belgorod city, which have killed and maimed Russian civilians. Putin further addressed Zelensky's efforts to gather world leaders for a peace summit hosted by Switzerland, to consider Kiev's 10-point peace plan, which it should be noted rejects the possibility of territorial concessions. ""The so-called 'peace formula' that's being talked about in the West and in Ukraine is a continuation of the decree of the Ukrainian president banning negotiations with Russia,"" Putin said, according to a translation in Sputnik. ""As for the negotiating process, it's an attempt to encourage us to abandon the territorial gains we've achieved over the past 1 1/2 years. But this is impossible. Everyone understands that this is impossible,"" the Russian leader continued. He explained that earlier in the conflict, the two sides were close to serious negotiations that could have led to peace, but that ultimately Zelensky allowed himself to be the puppet of Western powers... ""A day later, they threw all the agreements into the trash, and now they are saying publiclyincluding the head of the Ukrainian negotiating groupthat 'Yes, we were ready, but we missed the chance, because then-Prime Minister of Britain Mr. [Boris] Johnson came and persuaded us not to implement these agreements,'"" Putin said. He stressed: ""Fools, are they not? They're admitting directly that if they had gone for it, everything could have been ended a long time ago, 1 1/2 years ago.""

More on Putin The proof of Putins treatment by cancer doctors was deduced from the existence of contracts with the hospital which were listed on a Russian public procurement website. Now such details have been made top secret, preventing public knowledge of current and future contracts. Earlier it was seen that Putin was accompanied by between six and 13 medical specialists on his trips. Medics were also seen to be on standby near his favourite official residences outside Moscow, for example in Sochi and Valdai. Most read in The Sun The report by Proekt media in April gave credence to rumours that Putin had suffered from cancer. Medics appeared to be thyroid and ENT specialists. It comes after it was revealed the Russian government has built a secret network of rail lines that lead to Putin's residences - and train stations nearby. The blocking of data of such contracts was revealed by Sirena, part of Radio Liberty. KREMLIN COUP? The move is likely to increase speculation that the Kremlin is hiding the truth about Putins health during the war against Ukraine. Symptoms of thyroid cancer include the appearance of a thick nodule in the thyroid area; hoarseness of voice; difficulty swallowing; pain in the neck and throat; enlarged lymph nodes in the neck; a dry cough, scratchy or scratchy feeling in the throat or behind the sternum. There have also been claims that Putin is suffering from abdominal cancer and other ailments. Meanwhile, there have been suggestions that drugs to treat his cancer may have distorted his mind when he launched the war in Ukraine. The Kremlin insists that Putin is healthy. Among the medics named as treating Putin were Dr Dmitry Verbovoy, an expert in acute illnesses, injuries and poisonings. Another was Dr Konstantin Sim, an orthopaedic traumatologist, possibly helping with ice hockey injuries, ENT doctor Alexei Shcheglov and infectious disease specialist Yaroslav Protasenko. He was also seen by neurosurgeons from the Central Clinical Hospital, led by department head Oleg Myshkin and Dr Elena Rastrusina, plus a resuscitator Dr Pavel Sharikov, and head nurse Lyudmila Kadenkova. A rehabilitation specialist was also involved, Dr Mikhail Tsykunov.In July 2020, Putin met with the head of the National Medical Research Center for Endocrinology, Ivan Dedov. It comes after the former head of MI6 suggested said there could be a coup inside the Kremlin to oust Putin - but the mechanisms for political change in Russia are ""fragile"". Sir Richard Dearlove told The Sun: ""I think we're heading into another phase where you're going to get a political upheaval as a result of a war gone badly wrong.

Hailing from five countries, the mercenaries had been captured while fighting for Kiev. The prisoners, who are citizens of Croatia, Morocco, Sweden, the UK and the US, were transferred from Russia to Saudi Arabia by Saudi authorities, according to a statement from the ministry. Saudi officials are now facilitating procedures for their safe return to their respective countries, the announcement continued. Bin Salman personally negotiated the release, which took place as part of a wider exchange of prisoners of war between Russia and Ukraine, the ministry added. The full details of the POW exchange are unclear, but Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday that Moscow and Kiev had agreed to exchange 200 prisoners. This exchange would be the largest such swap since Russias military operation in Ukraine began in February. Erdogan, whose government helped broker a deal earlier this summer to restart grain shipments from Ukrainian ports, said this exchange represented a very important step. In addition to receiving tens of billions of dollars worth of Western arms, Ukraine has leaned heavily on foreign mercenaries to bolster its military. According to Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu, more than 2,000 of these foreign fighters have been eliminated by Russian troops and the militias of the Donetsk and Lugansk Peoples Republics. Shoigu said on Wednesday that just over 1,000 foreigners remain active in the ranks of the Ukrainian military. The Russian minister added that more than 150 NATO officers and advisers are in Kiev, where they are planning and commanding Ukraines forces.

NATO at the summit in Vilnius is likely to approve plans to increase the number of troops in a state of high alert to 300,000, as well as other changes in the military structure, said Secretary General Stoltenberg. Plans to increase the number of its rapid reaction forces to more than 300 thousand. people from 40,000. Stoltenberg said in June 2022. He noted that this will take place within the framework of the implementation of new regional plans. In May, Stoltenberg said that these plans would be described as a bloc to deter and protect NATO allies from any aggression: they contain precise demands for the transformation of the armed forces, including their deployment. The Secretary General also announced more Allied exercises, bringing more forces into combat readiness, strengthening the command structure and control in the alliance. As reported in March, the increase in the number of the military may imply the emergence of two echelons. The first will be 100,000. soldiers ready to be sent within ten days. The second echelon is reinforcements, that is, the military sent for support, they will have to be ready for the transfer within 10-30 days. The Spanish El Pais reported in May that the bloc was finalizing a common strategy to counter the threat from Russia and terrorism. This strategy, according to sources of the publication, is changing NATOs approaches to deploying forces in different regions and responding to threats from Moscow. : https://www.rbc.ru/politics/14/06/2023/6489e6f39a794778d61881b4 The picture of widening war is beginning to form: Professor Sergey Karaganov, honorary chairman of Russias Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, and academic supervisor at the School of International Economics and Foreign Affairs Higher School of Economics (HSE) in Moscow Sergey Karaganov: By using its nuclear weapons, Russia could save humanity from a global catastrophe A tough but necessary decision would likely force the West to back off, enabling an earlier end to the Ukraine crisis and preventing it from expanding to other states Karaganovs description of the Western World as anti-human ideologies: the denial of family, homeland, history, love between men and women, faith, service to higher ideals, everything that is human, shows a rising realization that Russia sees itself confronted by a Satanic force that must be destroyed.","['URW: Amplifying war-related fears', 'URW: Amplifying war-related fears', 'URW: Amplifying war-related fears']","['URW: Amplifying war-related fears: By continuing the war we risk WWIII', 'URW: Amplifying war-related fears: Russia will also attack other countries', 'URW: Amplifying war-related fears: There is a real possibility that nuclear weapons will be employed']",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

Relations between Moscow and Washington have plunged to new lows amid the Ukrainian crisis, and Russias space agency warned that US sanctions could destroy cooperation on the International Space Station. Moscow claimed Washington needs its cooperation to prevent the ISS from falling on the US or Europe. Geopolitical and space expert Brandon J Weichert told The Sun that Moscow has a decade to a 12-year advantage on the US in the galaxies. He said US defenses are in no way fit to deal with the challenges posed by Russia. Weichert warned: We are going to get hit very hard soon in space. It is going to be the most debilitating strike on America, possibly ever. And we may not recover from it in a timely fashion. This could be how we lose our first war on Earth is losing the war in space. Weichert slammed the ""arrogant"" DC political class, claiming they didnt foresee any rival challenging Washingtons dominance in the post-Cold-War world. Most read in The Sun He said: They thought there would never be a need for any kind of preventative or security measure because we thought we would always be dominant, and we thought no one would be crazy enough to challenge us. Well here we are 30 years later, and you have Russia, China, North Korea, and even Iran showing us that it was the wrong assumption. The expert feared that the US has a 60 percent chance of being pushed out of space by its rivals completely. President Biden unleashed a package of sanctions against Moscow on Thursday after Putins forces rolled into Ukraine. And, an additional 7,000 troops will be sent to Eastern Europe to bolster Natos defenses. Russias invasion of the besieged nation saw Europe plunged into its biggest crisis since World War II. Experts claim the world has not seen a crisis since the Cuban Missile Crisis in the 1960s. The flashpoint was the closest point the world came to a full-blown nuclear war. US intelligence feared that Kyiv could fall within 96 hours and US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said its a possibility that Putin could move beyond the borders of Ukraine. The Russian strongman may feel emboldened and seek to move on to other nations if successful. Troops have reportedly already been spotted in the Belarussian city of Brest 10 miles east of the Polish border. Biden told reporters Thursday: He has much larger ambitions. He wants to, in fact, re-establish the former Soviet Union. Thats what this is all about. Weichert said: If Putin suspects the West will prop up a formidable anti-Russian resistance in a post-invasion Ukraine, he will risk not only nuclear war but also will threaten to attack US assets in space and the ISS. Putin fully understands the concept of asymmetrical warfare. He speculated that Moscow will ramp up its threats in cyberspace and nuclear warfare. PUTIN'S THREATS In December, Weichert warned that Moscow is plotting to launch a Pearl Harbor attack on the US in the cosmos. The Pearl Harbor attack of December 1941 left America reeling as Japanese forces bombed the US naval port. In his book, Winning Space: How America Remains a Superpower, Weichert says that Russian co-orbital satellites, known as space stalkers, have been tailgating US satellites for years. He predicts that the stalkers will eventually hit the satellites, sending them crashing into the ground. Weichert believes Russia is preparing to launch a ""devastating"" attack on American satellites at the time of its own choice. He warned that before launching an attack on Washingtons satellites, Moscow would ""engage in a series of escalations with neighboring nations. Russia conducted an anti-satellite weapon test (ASAT) in November where it destroyed one of its own satellites that had been in orbit since 1982.

+EN_UA_104859.txt,"A Former Ukrainian MP Blew The Whistle On Burisma's Connections To Terrorism A Former Ukrainian MP Blew The Whistle On Burisma's Connections To Terrorism Authored by Andrew Korybko via Substack, Former Ukrainian MP Andrey Derkach, whos reviled by the Biden Administration for sharing dirt about Hunter Bidens Burisma corruption scandal with Trumps former lawyer Rudy Giuliani ahead of the 2020 elections, just gave a very important interview to Belarus BelTA where be blew the whistle even louder. According to him, the $6 million bribe that was paid in cash to shut down the investigation into the First Sons scandal eventually found its way to the Ukrainian Armed Forces and its military-intelligence agency. Derkach claimed to have proof of the secret court order that divided these funds between those two, with the first investing its portion into building up their countrys drone army while the second financed terrorist attacks like the assassination of Darya Dugina, which he specifically mentioned in the interview. These allegations expand upon the ones that he shared earlier this year regarding the real-world impact of Hunters corruption scandal, which were analyzed here at the time. On the subject of Ukrainian assassinations and terrorism, Derkach said that the CIA and FBI actually condone these actions despite their public claims to the contrary, but he warned that this immoral policy will inevitably ricochet into the US itself. In particular, he cited FBI chief Christopher Wrays testimony to Congress last April where he said that law enforcement officials fear that Crocus-like attacks are presently being plotted against their country. About that, it shouldnt be forgotten that Ukraines military-intelligence service GUR is the chief suspect of Russias investigation into what became one of the worst terrorist attacks in its history, thus meaning that the portion of Burismas $6 million bribe that made its way into their hands likely financed part of it. In other words, the third-order effect of Hunters corruption scandal is that it was partially responsible for the brutal murder of innocent civilians halfway across the world some years later. Thats already scandalous enough, but Derkach shared even more details about the other indirect consequences of this cover-up into the First Sons illicit activities, adding that some GUR-linked figures have been connected to the Western narrative about September 2022s Nord Stream terrorist attack. He regards that story as a distraction from the US complicity, the view of which was elaborated upon here at the time that it entered the discourse, but lauded the CIA for the lengths it went to cover up its role. In his view, the CIA might very well have sent a highly trained Ukrainian diving team to the Baltic Sea exactly as the Western media reported, though only to plant fake bombs. In his words, when a cover story is made, it is done quite well. We shouldnt belittle the experience of the CIA or the experience of MI6 in preparing cover operations. They have quite a lot of experience in using proxies, in using cover stories to form a certain position in order to dodge responsibility. This is actually what happened. Looking forward, Derkach expects Ukraine to attempt more terrorist attacks against Russia, which the US public is being preconditioned to accept via the CIAs various leaks to the media. While many might lay the blame for all this on Zelenskys lap, Derkach believes that its actually his Chief of Staff Andrey Yermak whos running the show, albeit as a Western puppet. Nevertheless, hes also convinced that the West is indeed preparing to formally replace Zelensky, but doesnt yet know when or with whom. Altogether, the importance of Derkachs interview is that hes a former veteran Ukrainian politician who still retains a lot of sources inside the regime, having served in the Rada for a whopping 22 years from 1998-2020. While his homeland charged him with treason after he fled to Russia in early 2022, which followed the US charging him with election meddling on behalf of that country in September 2020, the argument can be made that these are politically driven attempts to intimidate a top whistleblower. The dirt that Derkach shared about Hunters Burisma corruption scandal, not to mention its newly revealed third-order effects that led to the brutal killing of civilians halfway across the world after part of his companys bribe made its way into GURs hands, made him an enemy of the US Government. They and their Ukrainian proxies will therefore always try to discredit him with sensational allegations, but everyone would do well to listen to what he says and then make up their own minds about it.","['URW: Discrediting Ukraine', 'URW: Discrediting Ukraine', 'URW: Hidden plots by secret schemes of powerful groups']","['URW: Discrediting Ukraine: Ukraine is a hub for criminal activities', 'URW: Discrediting Ukraine: Ukraine is a puppet of the West', 'URW: Hidden plots by secret schemes of powerful groups: Other']",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

Meta the parent company of Facebook and Instagram on Sunday clarified its recent violent speech policy to specifically not include calls for the death of a head of state. The new announcement by Meta is likely in response to the violent posts users have been sharing towards Russian President Vladimir Putin following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. ""We do not permit calls to assassinate a head of state So, in order to remove any ambiguity about our stance, we are further narrowing our guidance to make explicit that we are not allowing calls for the death of a head of state on our platforms,"" Meta global affairs President Nick Clegg said, per Reuters. Meta's clarification came shortly after the company revealed last week that it would take a more relaxed stance on users calling for violence against Russian forces in the context of the Ukraine invasion. ""As a result of the Russian invasion of Ukraine we have temporarily made allowances for forms of political expression that would normally violate our rules like violent speech,"" a Meta spokesperson said. Read more on Facebook However, it appears that Meta's initial policy sparked confusion among both Facebook and Instagram users on what type of speech is exactly permitted. Along with banning violent calls against state leaders, the American tech company also emphasized that their new policy does not allow for hate speech towards Russian civilians. ""We are now narrowing the focus to make it explicitly clear in the guidance that it is never to be interpreted as condoning violence against Russians in general,"" Clegg said. ""Meta stands against Russophobia. We have no tolerance for calls for genocide, ethnic cleansing, or any kind of discrimination, harassment, or violence towards Russians on our platform,"" Clegg added. Most read in Tech Last Friday, the Kremlin opened a court case against Meta in direct retaliation to the social media giant's violent speech policy. ""A criminal case has been initiated in connection with illegal calls for murder and violence against citizens of the Russian Federation by employees of the American company Meta,"" Russia's Investigative Committee said, according to Reuters. The Russian prosecutor general's office asked a court to designate Meta an ""extremist organization"" and ban it from operating in the country after the social media giant changed its hate speech rules on Friday, per the Wall Street Journal.

+EN_UA_013344.txt,"I was a KGB spy along side Putin and he IS using body doubles these simple signs are a dead giveaway that hes a fake A FORMER spy alleges a body double stands in for Vladimir Putin at key events and has revealed what he says are the tell-tale signs. Sergei Zhirnov claims to have served alongside the Russian tyrant in the KGB intelligence service of the former Soviet Union, which is now known as the FSB. Zhirnov said he had believed until now that claims of Putin using doppelgangers were conspiracy theories. But he has now changed his mind, citing a speech made by a skinny and coughing Putin on February 21 and contrasting it with an appearance at a pro-war concert next day in Moscow as evidence. Footage highlights him waving his hands around and repeatedly touching his nose, not traits especially common with Putin. Zhirnov told Ukrainian TV that a totally different Putin pops up with a wider face as if he bloated in 24 hours. READ MORE ON VLADIMIR PUTIN ""He has a totally different shape of eye orbits, a totally different head, absolutely different wrinkles - a different voice. Far from shunning people, perhaps to avoid Covid, he was almost kissing and hugging everyone. His allegation comes as a video shows an unusually exuberant Russian president at a helicopter plant in Siberia. Zhirnov is now exiled in France and was a former classmate of Putin at KGB Red Flag Institute, a spy training centre. Most read in The Sun The claim Putin uses a body double has also been made by the head of Ukrainian military intelligence. Major General Kyrylo Budanov claimed the body doubles are used to hide Putins loss of control in the Kremlin. He claimed Ukrainian secret services detected Putin body doubles standing in for him on a number of ""special occasions"" in the past, but this had become ""usual practice"" now ""We know specifically about three people that keep appearing, but how many there are, we don't know,"" Budanov said. ""They all had plastic surgery to look alike."" The spy chief alleged all the doubles had surgery but said the one thing that gives them away is their height. It's visible in videos and pictures. Also gesturing, body language and earlobes, since they are unique for every person."" The claim that Putin uses body doubles is also regularly made by the General SVR Telegram and YouTube channel, which claims to be run by a Kremlin insider. Most experts dismiss such claims as absurd and far-fetched, though several noticed Putins unusually buoyant mood in Siberia, compared to recent public appearances in Moscow. One claim was that Putin had had an extra dose of medicine. It has been alleged body doubles were used by former Soviet leaders Josef Stalin and Leonid Brezhnev. Putin three years ago admitted that officials had considered using doubles, but he claimed the idea was rejected. ""I discarded the idea of any doubles, he said. He admitted the idea came up in the early 2000s when Russia was hit by terrorist attacks.

German generals were caught strategizing several weeks ago on how to bomb Russias main bridge to Crimea. This would be an act of aggression that Russian President Vladimir Putin described as guaranteed to draw a harsh military response from Russia, possibly even including a nuclear strike against Berlin. TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/ And that has led to an admission by German officials that their military is woefully unprepared to take on Russia. If German generals and politicians truly want to provoke a war with Russia, they had better slow down and wait for their military to catch up to the political rhetoric coming out of Berlin. A March 14 article by John Cody at Remix News shows that the German Army lacks the personnel, equipment and infrastructure to wage a major war of any kind, let alone with a nuclear-armed military superpower like Russia. Germanys own military and government are painting such a dire picture of the armed forces that there are now calls from some of the most powerful politicians in the country to reinstate mandatory military service, Cody writes. Yes, a military draft. A video produced by Remix News details testimony provided by Eva Hgl, German Parliamentary Commissioner for the Armed Forces, who provided catastrophic details about the state of the German military.

That sounds like an admission of treason in the wide open. But wait. Theres more. Germany knows it is incapable of taking on Russia so it is negotiating a secret deal with the insane leaders of two other European countries, France and Poland, for the very purpose of sending troops into Ukraine separate from NATO, although I do not believe this could truly be done without the acquiescence of Washington and London. An organization called the Weimar Triangle composed of France, Germany and Poland has been in existence since 1991 at the fall of the Soviet Union. The stated purpose of the Weimar Triangle was to assist Polands emergence from Communist rule. Its strange that it still exists but it may have found a new purpose instigating World War III with Russia. According to Wikipedia, the Weimar Triangle exists mostly in the form of summit meetings between the leaders of the three countries and of their foreign ministers. The collaboration between member states includes inter-parliamentary contacts, military, scientific and cultural co-operation. The most recent summit of leaders occurred in Paris on June 12, 2023.

+EN_CC_100046.txt,"Rumpin Nursery : A Public-Private Partnership in Achieving Indonesias Climate Goals s the world faces the critical challenge of climate change, building nurseries has become one of the key ways to mitigate its effects through reforestation and restoration efforts. In Indonesia, a notable project is the Rumpin Nursery in Bogor, which has emerged as a prominent model of public-private partnership in supporting Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink initiative. Established in 2022, the Rumpin Nursery was inaugurated by President Joko Jokowi Widodo and is the result of a collaboration between the Environment and Forestry Ministry, the Public Works and Housing Ministry, and APRIL Group, a pulp and paper producer. APRIL Group's nursery system in Pangkalan Kerinci, Riau province, inspired the Rumpin Nursery development, which has the capacity of planting approximately 200 million new seedlings per year. The company continues to invest heavily in research and development to increase plantation fiber productivity. Over the next three years, the Indonesian government plans to build 30 nursery centers, each with an annual production capacity of 10 to 12 million seedlings, which will result in a combined annual production of 360 million seedlings. These seedlings will be used to rehabilitate and restore degraded lands, to be planted on critical land, areas with high landslide potential and upper reaches of river basins (DAS). The Rumpin Nursery has successfully grown and planted thousands of native tree species, including Manglid, Sengon, Salam and Sirsak. Since President Jokowi's inauguration last year, the nursery has begun distributing seedlings in a number of locations such as the Ciliwung River. Following the Rumpin Nursery's successful collaboration, the government is currently focusing on developing additional nurseries in other regions, including Danau Toba, Likupang, Mentawir and Bali. By replicating and scaling up such models, Indonesia can unlock the potential of nurseries and other nature-based solutions to achieve its ambitious climate goals. This public-private partnership has enabled the Rumpin Nursery to align with the Indonesian government's target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 31.89 percent unconditionally by 2030, as per the updated NDC. As part of its efforts to support Indonesia's restoration and forestry goals, the APRIL Group recently earned an appreciation award for its role in the public-private collaboration that established the Rumpin Nursery. PT Riau Andalan Pulp and Paper, the operating arm of APRIL Group, also received an appreciation award for its work to improve the performance of industrial forest plantations. Both awards were presented by Environment and Forestry Minister Siti Nurbaya and received by Sihol Aritonang, president director of PT RAPP. ""APRIL is proud that our technology and seed management system can serve as a reference for nursery development in Indonesia. Through the Rumpin Nursery, we show our continuous support for one of the government's activities in achieving FOLU Net Sink 2030,"" said Sihol. Indonesia's Forestry and Land Use (FOLU) Net Sink is the newest forest policy in Indonesia that identifies the level of greenhouse gas (GHG) absorption targeted to be equal or higher than emissions in the FOLU sector in 2030. The Net Sink FOLU is projected to contribute up to 60 percent of the Net Zero Emission target by 2060 as part of the country's efforts to achieve its climate goals under the Paris Climate Agreement and to achieve the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The key targets of Indonesia's FOLU Net Sink 2030 include efforts to ensure reduced deforestation and forest degradation, the importance of sustainable forest management, social forestry and land rehabilitation, biodiversity and ecosystem preservation.",['Other'],['Other'],0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

(People's Daily Online/Zhang Wenjie). China's modernization and inclusive development have helped 1.4 billion Chinese people, set examples, and shared experiences with other countries, benefiting the world as a whole, said Irina Bokova, former Director-General of UNESCO. Bokova, who is also the Honorary Dean of the School of International Organizations at Beijing Foreign Studies University, visited China several times and voiced her appreciation for China's rapid progress over the last several decades, stating that China's tremendous economic, social, and technological advancements have contributed significantly to the experience of the globe. She also noted that through cooperation mechanisms such as BRICS, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, and the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation, China is fulfilling its obligation to share its inclusive growth with other countries. ""UNESCO and China have together developed many joint activities, partnerships and initiatives, among my most memorable moments was President Xi Jinping's visit to UNESCO a decade ago,"" Bokova told People's Daily Online during an exclusive interview. In 2014, Chinese President Xi Jinping delivered a keynote speech at the headquarters of UNESCO in Paris, laying out his vision of civilization that features diversity, equality and inclusiveness. ""We need to encourage different civilizations to respect each other and live together in harmony while promoting their exchanges and mutual learning as a bridge of friendship among peoples, a driving force behind human society, and a strong bond for world peace,"" President Xi said. ""President Xi's speech about diversity is very important, it shows that though we belong to different cultures, we are all members of one shared community,"" said Bokova. According to Bokova, China is fulfilling its responsibility to share its success with the rest of the world by promoting collaboration and inclusive development. For example, China was the first developing country to realize one of the UN Millennium Development Goals for poverty reduction, making a significant contribution to the global poverty alleviation cause. ""China's commitment, inclusive development, and strong leadership demonstrate to the world that equality and inclusion in society are attainable. This benefits not only the Chinese people, but also other countries around the world,"" added Bokova. Bokova has also praised China's ""new quality productive forces"". With innovation playing the leading role, new quality productive forces are forces that feature advanced productivity and are free from traditional economic growth modes and productivity development paths. They are defined by high-tech, high efficiency and high quality, and are in line with the new development philosophy. ""It is a very interesting and innovative concept China is taking. I think it is justified because the world and global economy are entering a new phase, and it is critical to use innovation and technology to encourage young people to use all of the potential of science to achieve equality and social inclusion, as well as to address challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss,"" said Bokova, adding that ""new quality productive forces"" have the potential to reconcile humans with nature while maintaining all of the benefits of technological progress.

Drones were also reportedly used in the ""invasion"" as explosions rang out along the frontier in the Belgorod region - where the local governor issued a desperate ""don't panic"" message to residents. The governor of the Belgorod region, Vyacheslav Gladkov, told residents that to ensure safety of citizens in the region, a ""counter-terrorist regime"" has been introduced. Russian authorities said a ""Ukrainian Army sabotage group"" crossed the border and forces were ""taking measures to eliminate the enemy"". Ukrainian intelligence said those involved in the incursion were ""solely Russian nationals"". The provocative move was claimed by the Freedom of Russia Legion, a unit made up of ethnic Russian volunteers and defectors from the Russian army to fight alongside Ukraine.

They claimed: ""We have again crossed the border of the Russian Federation. Russia will soon be free. ""The time to fight for the freedom of Russia has come. ""We want our children to grow up in peace and be free people... but that has no place in today's Putin's Russia."" Most read in The Sun Armoured vehicles with Ukrainian markings were also spotted near the border, further fuelling rumours of an invasion by pro-Ukraine Russian saboteurs. Smoke was spotted in multiple locations near border checkpoints in the region, along with videos online appearing to show a Russian soldier dead inside a checkpoint building. And a helicopter was reportedly seen flying low over houses and deploying anti-missile flares in Rakitnoye, some 30 miles from the Grayvoron border crossing where the tank was spotted. One post showed a radio message urgently telling Belgorod citizens to evacuate the area. Governor Gladkov told residents earlier today: ""No one is hurt, the evacuation from Shebensky district is a lie. ""I urge you not to listen to enemies and not to panic."" In a post on Telegram, the Freedom of Russia Legion shared a photo of a ""free Russia"" flag on a bridge. They said: ""The first flags of free Russia met the dawn over the liberated cities. Raise the flags in your cities too. Freedom is near!"" The group claimed they had taken control of Kozinka and Gora-Podol villages. Rumours spread that up to six other villages came under drone and mortar fire. The flag raised in the photo is the flag used by Russian anti-war protesters - many of whom live in eastern Ukraine - and is also displayed on the Freedom of Russia Legion's Telegram channel. It describes them as ""free citizens of Russia"" who are fighting against the ""dictatorial regime"" in Russia. Another video widely shared online appeared to show the soldiers running into the streets of the southern Belgorod region.

Russian authorities said administrative building in the town of Golovchino was allegedly struck by a drone, and part of a rocket fell into the garden of a home in the village of Antonovka.

The directive includes a ban on gas boilers by 2025.

The directive would also stipulate that all new buildings must be zero emission by 2030.

Brudzinski also pointed out that it is clear who controls Brussels and whose will and interests prevail in EU actions. As long as Germany had Nord Stream with Russia, gas was fine. When Nord Stream was stopped, suddenly the Germans realised that gas was fossil energy and they were already saying we should move away from gas. And what should we switch to? Heat pumps.

According to the FT, Washington has been Kyivs major source of military aid. US officials interviewed by the newspaper say the remaining funds preapproved by Congress could sustain Ukraine for about another five months. Western officials in regular contact with the US over Ukraine told the FT that Washington sees that period of time as the last real chance for Kyiv to change the situation on the ground. We cant keep the same level of assistance forever, a European official told the British newspaper as he argued that the current level of support could be sustained for another year or possibly two years but no more. Politico reported earlier this week that only $6 billion of the original $48 billion military aid package that the US had approved previously now remains. According to the US publication, Washingtons funds for Kyiv may be fully allocated by mid-summer. European allies are increasingly uncertain about whether the US will come close to matching its existing $48bn package, adopted in 2022, particularly as it requires a vote in Congress this autumn against the backdrop of more partisan debate on the war, FT reported. Recently, European leaders promised Zelenskyy an arsenal of missiles, tanks and drones during a whirlwind three-day visit to Italy, the Vatican, Germany, France and the U.K. that sought to replenish Ukraines depleted weapons supplies ahead of a long-anticipated spring offensive aimed at turning the tide of the war. Zelenskyys energetic international diplomacy over 15 months of war has persuaded Ukraines Western allies to send ever more powerful weapons, from German Leopard tanks to U.S. Patriot missile systems and Storm Shadow cruise missiles from the U.K. The war in Ukraine that began a year ago has killed thousands, forced millions to flee their homes, reduced entire cities to rubble and has fuelled fears the confrontation could slide into an open conflict between Russia and NATO.

The 31-year-old American appeared in a glass-walled dock after being brought from the tough jail where he has been held since March. He lodged an appeal against a Moscow court judge's earlier decision to extend his pretrial detention into late November. But today, the judge refused to hear the case and instead sent it to a lower court because of ""procedural violations"". Gershkovich bravely smiled from behind the defendant's glass cage in a yellow jumper and kept his hands in the pockets of his jeans. US ambassador Lynne Tracy was present at the hearing. read more on evan gershkovich The US journalist was arrested in March 29 on trumped up charges of ""espionage"", which Gershkovich, Washington and The WSJ vehemently deny. Russian officials have not yet provided any public evidence to back up their allegations. No date has been officially set for his trial, however Putin's spooks continue to extend his detention - which today reached 174 days. He will now suffer behind bars in the notorious Lefortovo prison until at least November 30. Most read in The Sun The WSJ's Moscow correspondent's pretrial detention was originally supposed to expire on May 29 - but appeals for his release have been repeatedly denied. This expiration was pushed back to August 30, and was then extended into late November. He has failed in two previous appeals, in April and June. Under Moscow's criminal law, the 31-year-old could face a pretrial extension of up to 12 months. Putin's arrest of Evan has previously been branded internationally as a ""cowardly act"" as the despot desperately tries to escape accountability over his war in Ukraine. His arrest marked an increasingly ferocious crackdown on media freedom in Russia. It is the first time Russia has brought a spy case against an overseas journalist since the end of the Cold War, and he faces a jail term of up to 20 years if convicted. His employers called the arrest ""a vicious affront to a free press"" that ""should spur outrage in all free people and governments throughout the world"". No reporter should ever be detained for simply doing their job,"" The Journal added. Washington has repeatedly stated that charges against Gershkovich are bogus and baseless and has demanded his immediate release. They have deplored his ""wrongful detention"" as a method of ""hostage diplomacy"" designed to give Russia leverage at the bargaining table at a time when relations between the two countries have plunged to their lowest point in more than 60 years. US officials said in July that there was still no clear ""pathway"" to getting him home, despite high-level talks.

According to an expert, water is one of the basic necessities of life and Pakistan is blessed with an abundance of water resources. However, the countrys water resources are depleting with the passage of time. It is feared that the entire world will face an acute water shortage in the coming years. Saiqa Imran, the deputy director of the Pakistan Council of Research and Water Reservoirs (PCRWR), told WealthPK that the country was feared to face an acute shortage of fresh water. The quantity of fresh water is quite limited in the country, she added. According to her, climate change is the primary cause of the depletion of water resources. She said that the shortage of water triggered concerns about the future availability of water for the worlds exponentially rising population. Saiqa Imran said that in most cases, the water table was constantly going down as a result of the frequent pumping of water from the ground. With a growing world population, the more we pump water from the ground at a rapid rate, the harder it becomes to get the amount of water we need because we pump the groundwater faster than it can be replenished, she added. She said that inefficient water distribution and mismanagement were the main causes of the water shortage. Pakistan has one of the largest contiguous irrigation systems in the world where more than 93% of water is used by the agriculture sector, 5% by the domestic sector and 2% by the industrial sector, said the expert. She said that domestic and industrial sectors would use 15% more water by 2025 than their current consumption. She said that the agriculture sector was the biggest user of water as modern irrigation techniques were not adopted in Pakistan but its contribution to the national economy was declining with the passage of time. Saiqa Imran said that the worlds average storage capacity reached 40% but Pakistan could conserve only up to 10% of its annual river water due to insufficient space. People have turned to use underground water as a result of the shortage of the most essential commodity. The indiscriminate over-pumping in the cities in the absence of regulatory bodies has also led to the depletion of groundwater, she added. According to her, there is a dire need to devise a proper pricing mechanism for water usage in any sector. She said that incentives should also be in place to encourage people to use water efficiently. The expert said that the country could take a variety of technical and management measures to conserve water at all levels, reduce irrigation losses, encourage farmers to adopt more efficient irrigation methods by creating a regulatory framework, launch licensing water, and implement integrated water resource management. Under the principle of private sector participation and optimal water pricing, the policymakers should rethink water policy to encourage wastewater recycling, Saiqa Imran told WealthPK.",['Other'],['Other'],0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

The company is among the top European suppliers of 155mm artillery shells, tanks, armored vehicles, and other crucial military equipment to Kiev. The Kremlin is calling it fantasy and pointing to zero evidence being presented alongside the major accusation. Here's how the bombshell CNN report published late this past week began: ""US intelligence discovered earlier this year that the Russian government planned to assassinate the chief executive of a powerful German arms manufacturer that has been producing artillery shells and military vehicles for Ukraine, according to five US and western officials familiar with the episode."" There have been widespread allegations for several months in Western media pointing to an irregular and covert Russian warfare campaign to conduct sabotage missions against European defense and manufacturing companies supplying Ukraine. The CNN report alluded to these prior stories: ""The plot was one of a series of Russian plans to assassinate defense industry executives across Europe who were supporting Ukraines war effort, these sources said."" It detailed further that ""The plan to kill Armin Papperger, a white-haired goliath who has led the German manufacturing charge in support of Kyiv, was the most mature."" In recent months, there have been several instances of fires engulfing weapons and ammo manufacturing sites in the UK and on the European continent, some of which we detailed previously. Simultaneously, Russia has been subject of similarly mysterious blazes at defense contractor buildings and companies. As for the alleged plot to take out the CEO of Rheinmetal, the CNN story is sourced entirely to anonymous intelligence officials, making it impossible to verify at this point, other than taking the word of US, German, and NATO officials. According to more from the original CNN report, ""When the Americans learned of the effort, they informed Germany, whose security services were then able to protect Papperger and foil the plot. A high-level German government official confirmed that Berlin was warned about the plot by the US."" But Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov rejected the allegations as 'fake news': ""It's all presented in the style of another fake story, so such reports cannot be taken seriously,"" he said at the end of the week. Germany and the US reportedly foiled an alleged plot by Moscow to assassinate a leading German arms manufacturing firm's top executive. Why is Rheinmetall CEO Armin Papperger a target? pic.twitter.com/3tsi7jvxGU DW News (@dwnews) July 13, 2024 German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock belatedly appeared to confirm that the German government finds the warnings credible. ""In view of latest reports on Rheinmetall, this is what we have actually been communicating more and more clearly in recent months: Russia is waging a hybrid war of aggression,"" she had told a press briefing at the NATO summit in Washington. Papperger himself has since described to the Financial Times that German authorities had imposed a ""great deal of security around my person"" - and he's now considered to be the most highly protected private citizen in all of Germany. Another interesting aspect to the story is the timing: the CNN revelation corresponded precisely to the close of the annual NATO summit in D.C. at a moment Western officials urged the alliance to stay the course on Ukraine, and commit to supplying more weapons for years to come.",['Other'],['Other'],0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

+EN_UA_021918.txt,"US, China, Israel and others are developing AI killer drones; this poses significant risks by Rhoda Wilson, Expose News: The Pentagons recent developments in AI technology have drawn concern and criticism as they approach the deployment of autonomous AI weapons systems capable of making lethal decisions independently. The New York Times reports that countries such as the United States, China and Israel are actively working on lethal autonomous weapons empowered by artificial intelligence (AI), which can autonomously identify and engage targets. TRUTH LIVES on at https://sgtreport.tv/ Critics argue that the use of AI-controlled drones with the ability to autonomously kill humans is a highly alarming development, as it places life-or-death choices on machines with minimal human oversight. Several countries, including Russia, Australia and Israel are opposing efforts by other nations to pass a binding resolution at the United Nations calling for a ban on AI killer drones. The issue surrounding the deployment of AI weapons has sparked intense debate, with key questions revolving around the role of human agency in the use of force. Austrias chief negotiator on the matter, Alexander Kmentt, emphasised that this issue is not just a security and legal concern but also an ethical one. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has revealed plans to deploy swarms of AI-enabled drones as part of their AI weapons programme. These drones, equipped with advanced AI capabilities, are intended to provide the United States with a tactical advantage, countering the numerical superiority of Chinas Liberation Army. US Deputy Secretary of Defence Kathleen Hicks further highlighted the role of AI-controlled drone swarms in reshaping battlefield dynamics, making them harder to plan against, hit and defeat. However, concerns arise regarding human supervision and decision-making capabilities, as some argue that limitations on AIs autonomy could hinder strategic advantages. Critics also point to recent incidents where AI drones have been utilised in conflict zones, such as Ukraines use of AI-controlled drones during its conflict with Russia. The extent of human casualties caused by these AI drones remains uncertain, raising additional concerns. Advocacy groups like the Campaign to Stop Killer Robots warn that AI technologys dehumanisation poses significant risks. This dehumanisation could not only impact the use of force but also permeate other aspects of our lives, extending to automation in law enforcement, smart homes, and beyond. The campaign notes the urgent need for a global treaty banning autonomous weapons to prevent the wide-scale production and proliferation of these technologies from potentially falling into the wrong hands.",['Other'],['Other'],0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

By subscribing you agree to our Terms of Use Latest Video RT reports: In an interview on Monday, Zelensky referred to comments made at the weekend by Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson. The US politician told Fox News that he planned to move forward with a vote on an aid bill for Israel this week, without specifying when a Ukraine package would be taken up, or whether it would be tied to funding for West Jerusalem. This is pure politics, and its a disgrace for the world and a disgrace for democracy, Zelensky told PBS NewsHour. Nobody cares how many people are dying in Ukraine every day. They only care about their approval ratings, he added Johnson has since promised to advance the long-stalled Ukraine aid bill sought by President Joe Biden this week, multiple news outlets reported on Monday. Johnson reportedly told Republican colleagues at a closed-door meeting that he intends to allow the House to vote on a standalone bill in the coming days that would ensure additional military aid for Kiev. The House will also be expected to vote on separate bills providing more assistance to Israel and Taiwan. House Republicans have previously refused to back the foreign aid bill unveiled by Biden in October, which includes $61 billion in assistance for Ukraine. The legislation has been held up for months as the GOP tries to force the White House to crack down on the influx of illegal immigrants via the southern US border. Bidens 2024 election rival, former President Donald Trump, previously urged Republicans to block the bill, arguing against unconditional aid for Ukraine. The delay in approving more weapons for Ukraine has rattled Zelensky and other officials in Kiev, who are blaming mounting battlefield losses on shortages of foreign-supplied ammunition and air defenses. In his interview with PBS, Zelensky reiterated that without the US support, Ukraine will have no chance of winning in its conflict with Russia. Moscow, meanwhile, has repeatedly stated that no amount of foreign assistance will change the outcome of the fighting, and has accused the West of escalating the hostilities.","['URW: Discrediting the West, Diplomacy', 'URW: Discrediting the West, Diplomacy', 'URW: Discrediting Ukraine', 'URW: Speculating war outcomes', 'URW: Speculating war outcomes', 'URW: Blaming the war on others rather than the invader']","['URW: Discrediting the West, Diplomacy: The West does not care about Ukraine, only about its interests', 'URW: Discrediting the West, Diplomacy: West is tired of Ukraine', 'URW: Discrediting Ukraine: Situation in Ukraine is hopeless', 'URW: Speculating war outcomes: Ukrainian army is collapsing', 'URW: Speculating war outcomes: Other', 'URW: Blaming the war on others rather than the invader: The West are the aggressors']",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,1,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,1

The Russian invasion of Ukraine, and Western sanctions on Moscow, have sent energy and food prices soaring in recent weeks, while rising natural gas prices also have impacted fertilizer production, which in turn hurts farmers. ""It is critical to quickly provide support for food insecure countries in a coordinated manner,"" the heads of the IMF, World Bank, World Trade Organization and UN World Food Program said in a joint statement. Protests have erupted in some countries over high prices, and the statement said, ""The increase in food prices and supply shocks can fuel social tensions in many of the affected countries, especially those that are already fragile or affected by conflict."" The organizations called on the international community to provide financing for emergency food supplies, a safety net for poor families and farmers, and to increase agricultural production. They also called for ""open trade"" that avoids export restrictions or ""humanitarian food purchases."" While the poor nations are most vulnerable to the crisis, middle income countries increasingly are at risk, the statement said. ""Surging fertilizer prices along with significant cuts in global supplies have important implications for food production in most countries, including major producers and exporters, who rely heavily on fertilizer imports,"" they said. IMF chief Kristalina Georgieva, World Bank President David Malpass, WTO head Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala and WFP director David Beasley issued the statement before next week's meeting of the IMF and World Bank. Increased fragility The war in Ukraine came as the global economy was trying to right itself following the COVID-19 pandemic, while navigating supply chain snarls that created shortages and a surge in inflation. New lockdowns in China have added further uncertainty to the recovery. Ukraine is a key source of grain while Russia is a major producer of energy and fertilizer needed for agriculture.

While urgent action is needed to address the climate emergency, carbon capture is not a real solution. (Will storing CO2 in old oil fields slow global warming? First California plan nears approval, Jan. 14) The process in question requires vast amounts of energy and water. The presence of oil wells and pipelines can result in dangerous and potentially deadly leaks. Thats especially true of improperly plugged wells in the oilfields that companies like California Resources Corp. want to use as carbon dumping grounds. Carbon capture and storage projects divert funds away from what is truly needed: a just transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy such as wind and rooftop solar.

+EN_UA_103667.txt,"Desperation and Diplomacy: North Korea's Tech Hunt in Russia Amid Sanctions For several decades, North Korea has masterfully balanced its relations with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Russia, maintaining a relationship with the latter that is both complex and ever-changing. The dynamics have shifted notably since Russia found itself sanctioned and isolated by the international community following its invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Since then, North Korea and Russia have grown increasingly close, as recently seen when North Korean leader Kim Jong Un visited eastern Russia, where he held a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin last week. After a six-day visit, Mr. Kim returned to Pyongyang on Sunday. Sanctioned by the international community, North Korea desperately needs Russian technology for nuclear weapons, satellite development, and food production. Similarly, Russia, also facing sanctions, urgently seeks to replenish its dwindling front-line supplies with large quantities of ammunition from North Korea. Before the summit, when asked whether Russia would assist North Korea in developing artificial satellites, Mr. Putin confirmed this was a primary reason for their meeting. Both sides appear willing to overlook the threat of escalated international sanctions against them. During their summit, Mr. Kim vowed to fully and unconditionally support Moscow. Rocket technology holds particular interest for Mr. Kim and his regime. From Outward Support to Clandestine CyberattacksAccording to reports, North Korea has long eyed Russian technology, resorting to cyber theft to obtain it, and it is something that Moscow now appears ready to overlook despite recent reports such as one by Microsofts Threat Analysis Center (MTAC). The MTAC report indicates that between March last year and this March, North Korean cyber operatives launched attacks on Russian aerospace research facilities and penetrated academic institutions engaged in research. Additionally, the operatives sent phishing emails to personnel within Russian diplomatic agencies. The study further revealed that the countries most frequently targeted by North Korean cyberattacks during the same period included South Korea, Israel, Germany, and Russia. The hacking groups, identified as ScarCruft and Lazarus, covertly installed digital backdoors within the companys systems to exfiltrate sensitive information. While the full extent of the hackers achievements remains unclear, North Korea announced significant advancements in its ballistic missile program mere months after the cyber-attacks were initiated. SPUTNIX, a private enterprise affiliated with the Russian Academy of Sciences Space Research Institute, lost a substantial amount of information to these cyber incursions. The report speculates that North Korea may have stolen critical technology related to the design of ultra-small satellite bodies. Experts suggest North Koreas successful launches of rockets equipped with reconnaissance satellites this year likely capitalized on its prior hacking exploits. These cyber activities appear crucial in advancing the countrys space technology. Additionally, the report disclosed that in 2020, North Korean hackers penetrated the internal network of Russias Almaz-Antey, a leading manufacturer of surface-to-air missiles. The intruders pilfered various information, including developer personal data and proprietary details on missile components. In 2019, North Korean cyber operatives also exfiltrated design blueprints from Russias Uralvagonzavod tank factory, the entity responsible for producing Russias next-generation T-14 Armata battle tank. Moreover, the report highlighted the frequency of North Korean cyber-attacks against Russian defense corporations specializing in avant-garde weapon systems like hypersonic technologies and intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs). Military commentator Xia Loshan told The Epoch Times on Sept. 10 that both North Korea and Russia are in a desperate situation. While North Korea is eager to acquire military technology, the ultimate decision is not in their hands, Mr. Xia stated, emphasizing that the alliance is precarious and likely unsustainable in the face of stringent international sanctions. Independent analyst Zhuge Mingyang also weighed in. In a relationship marked more by utilitarian needs than genuine alliance, both nations recognize the others motivations, he told The Epoch Times.

NEW YORK, Sept. 23, 2023 At this weekends Global Citizen Festival in New York, Frances Minister of State for Development and International Partnerships, Ms. Chrysoula Zacharopoulou, and Education Cannot Wait Executive Director Yasmine Sherif announced 40 million in new, additional funding from the Government of France. Education Cannot Wait (ECW) has now mobilized US$870 million toward its 2023-2026 Strategic Plan to reach 20 million crisis-impacted children with the safety, hope and opportunity of a quality education. Championing global education and emancipation is an absolute priority for France. The message of the Paris Pact for People and the Planet is that we must all take our part to allow each country to alleviate poverty and tackle climate change, said Frances Minister of State for Development and International Partnerships, Chrysoula Zacharopoulou. This includes states, which must support development policies with sufficient resources. For this reason, I am particularly pleased to announce, on behalf of France and President Macron, the allocation of 40 million to support ECWs actions for the 2023-2026 cycle. With this new bold and generous contribution, France shines as an example for others to follow, said ECW Executive Director Yasmine Sherif. We call on government donors, philanthropic foundations, and the private sector to follow suit and join our collective efforts to mobilize a total of US$1.5 billion by 2026 to provide quality education to 20 million crisis-affected girls and boys so they can learn, grow and rebuild their societies. Globally, around 224 million children are deprived of a quality education due to armed conflicts, forced displacement, climate-induced disasters and other protracted crises. They need urgent support to fulfil their right to a quality, inclusive education. Together with strategic partners, ECW has already reached close to 9 million girls and boys in some of the harshest crises around the globe. While donors are stepping up, the funding gap has actually widened in recent years. Humanitarian appeals for education in emergencies have nearly tripled from US$1.1 billion in 2019 to almost US$3 billion at the end of 2022.",['Other'],['Other'],0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

Marina Ovsyannikova told reporters she was not allowed to sleep while held in police custody and that she was interrogated for 14 hours. Ovsyannikova, an employee of Channel 1, walked behind the presenter during Mondays evening news show with a poster saying stop the war, dont believe the propaganda, they are lying to you here. In English, it said no war at the top of the poster and Russians against the war at the bottom. In a video recorded earlier, she urged Russians to join anti-war protests and said that Russia is the aggressor country and one person, Vladimir Putin, solely bears responsibility for that aggression. The state news agency Tass said Ovsyannikova was fined for the video and remains under investigation for the on-air protest under a law banning dissemination of deliberately false information about the use of Russian armed forces. The new law carries a maximum 15-year prison sentence. Ovsyannikova, whose father is Ukrainian and her mother Russian, spent the night in police custody. These were very difficult days of my life because I literally went two full days without sleep, the interrogation lasted for more than 14 hours and they didnt allow me to contact my family and close friends, didnt provide any legal support, Ovsyannikova said. The court ordered her to pay a fine of 30,000 rubles (about $270) on charges of organizing unsanctioned actions for her call to take part in demonstrations against the war.",['Other'],['Other'],0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0

+EN_UA_102054.txt,"UK Intelligence Experts Concerned Russia Will Use Fabricated Chemical Weapons Claims in False-Flag Attack on Ukraine UK intelligence experts are concerned that Russia will use fabricated claims regarding chemical weapons in Ukraine to move forward with a false-flag operation. Russia could possibly be planning to use chemical or biological weapons in a false-flag operation. Such an operation could take the form of a faked attack, a staged discovery of agents or munitions, or fabricated evidence of alleged Ukrainian planning to use such weapons, officials said, adding that such a false-flag attack would almost certainly be accompanied by extensive disinformation to complicate attribution. Officials added that intelligence suggests that Moscow had likely intended to use false-flag operations as justification for its invasion of neighboring Ukraine on Feb. 24. However, analysts believe that the narrative is part of the Kremlins plan to create a false-flag operation in an attempt to justify using chemical weapons operations in Ukraine itself. Yet both the United States and Ukraine maintain that the laboratories seek to prevent bioweapons and pathogens, a project backed by the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, an agency within the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). In response to Russias allegations, State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement that the disinformation being spread by Russia is total nonsense and not the first time Russia has invented such false claims against another country. The UK Ministry of Defences report comes as NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg warned on March 13 that the Kremlin might use chemical or biological weapons in its invasion of Ukraine, which would amount to a war crime. The NATO Secretary General echoed comments by the UKs Ministry of Defense that Russia could be using the claims to create a false pretext to justify its actions. Now that these false claims have been made, we must remain vigilant because it is possible that Russia itself could plan chemical weapons operations under this fabrication of lies. That would be a war crime, Price said.",['URW: Amplifying war-related fears'],['URW: Amplifying war-related fears: Other'],0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0
+EN_UA_021270.txt,"Ukraine's Fate Will Be Decided In Coming Year, Top Zelensky Aide Admits Ukraine's Fate Will Be Decided In Coming Year, Top Zelensky Aide Admits In surprisingly blunt words, a top aide to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has warned that the coming year will essentially decide the fate of Ukraine and its war with Russia. ""A turning point in the war is approaching,"" Andrii Yermak, who serves as chief of staff for the Office of the President of Ukraine, said Monday. ""The next year will be decisive in this regard."" He issued the words while appealing for more urgent aid from Washington in an address to the hawkish DC-based Hudson Institute think tank. Yermak sought to assure the audience that Zelensky has ""a clear plan"" forward even as Western media has by and large soured on Kiev's prospects for success. Much of this is about Zelensky sending envoys to do damage control in Washington at a moment the US administration's focus is off Ukraine and on Gaza events instead. He described advancing plans for ""the development of our defense industry, and the deploying of our own arms production. But [that] will be later."" But he quickly pivoted to an immediate need for more ""weapons right now""--describing that ""Russia still has air superiority. It is still capable of producing missiles, doing evasion of sanctionsAnd we especially need air defense systems."" Without doubt, the Zelensky admin is in damage control after eyebrow-raising comments were issued to The Economist early this month by Ukraine's top commander, who admitted there will be no breakthrough and the battlefield situation is in a stalemate. The New York Times had characterized his remarks as ""the first time a top Ukrainian commander said the fighting had reached an impasse."" So now Zelensky appears to be dispatching his envoys to calm Washington jitters over all the ""bad news"" of late out of Ukraine. Yermak also sought to assure the Hudson Institute conference that more billions given to Ukraine won't be ""charity"" but is instead an ""investment"" in America's ""global leadership."" He further emphasized Zelensky's continued rejection of ceasefire talks with Russia, unless it's purely on Kiev's terms. ""We seek peace, but not just any peace. In our case, ending the war through compromise is nothing more than pausing it. Ukraine will not repeat the mistake of Minsk,"" Yermak said.
