😱 Russian pranksters Vovan and Lexus have added another duped Ukrainian official to their track record.
▪️ Under the impression that he was talking to former US Ambassador to Moscow Michael McFaul, Andrey Yermak, the head of Ukraine’s presidential office, eagerly dished to the duo that he puts constant pressure on the Ukrainian military to be 100 percent “transparent and open” when reporting to the Americans and the British, who greenlight the Kiev regime’s actions.
▪️While the UK was offering 100 percent support to the Kiev regime, the overall 70 percent level of support coming from abroad and the US was disheartening, Yermak said, adding: “I’m sure that President Biden himself is very interested in our victory.”

🇬🇧 King Charles III to be crowned May 6 next year
Tuesday’s announcement from Buckingham Palace comes amid speculation that the coronation will be shorter and less extravagant than the three-hour ceremony that installed Elizabeth in 1953, in keeping with Charles’ plans for a slimmed down monarchy. While the palace provided few details, British media reported that the guest list would be pared to 2,000 from 8,000.
King Charles III will be crowned at Westminster Abbey in a ceremony that will embrace the past but look to the modern world. Charles will be crowned in a solemn religious ceremony conducted by Justin Welby, the archbishop of Canterbury, the palace said in a statement.
The palace is planning the coronation, known as Operation Golden Orb, as Charles and his heir, Prince William, seek to demonstrate that the monarchy is still relevant in modern, multi-cultural Britain.

🇰🇷 S. Korea says it has ability to intercept North’s missiles
South Korea’s military said Tuesday it’s capable of detecting and intercepting the variety of missiles North Korea launched in a barrage of recent simulated nuclear attacks on its rivals, though it maintains the North’s advancing nuclear program poses a grave security threat.
The North Korean launches, part of its record-breaking run of weapons tests this year, were seen as an attempt by leader Kim Jong Un to acquire a more intimidating arsenal to pressure its rivals to accept his country as a legitimate nuclear state and lift economic sanctions on the North.
The US, which deploys about 28,500 troops in South Korea, has been operating an advanced anti-missile system called Terminal High Altitude Area Defense in southern South Korea since 201.

🇳🇿 New Zealand proposes taxing cow burps
New Zealand’s government on Tuesday proposed taxing the greenhouse gasses that farm animals make from burping and peeing as part of a plan to tackle climate change. The government said the farm levy would be a world first, and that farmers should be able to recoup the cost by charging more for climate-friendly products.
But farmers quickly condemned the plan. Federated Farmers, the industry’s main lobby group, said the plan would “rip the guts out of small-town New Zealand” and see farms replaced with trees. Opposition lawmakers from the conservative ACT Party said the plan would actually increase worldwide emissions by moving farming to other countries that were less efficient at making food.

🇺🇸 Labor proposal could upend rules for gig workers
The Biden administration proposed new standards Tuesday that could make it more difficult to classify millions of workers as independent contractors and deny them minimum wage and benefits.
The US Department of Labor rule, which could take months to take effect, would replace a scrapped Trump-era standard that had lowered the bar for classifying employees as contractors. The Trump-era rule had narrowed that criteria to whether the work in part of an integrated unit of production, and gave more weight to other considerations such as the worker’s opportunity to make a profit or loss.
App-based companies have long argued that their workers want the flexibility to set their own hours as contract workers, the new law has the potential to change the circumstances of millions of custodians, truck drivers, waiters, construction workers and others.

🇮🇱 Israel, US announce Lebanon sea deal
Israel welcomed the deal even ahead of Biden’s announcement. Lebanese leaders made no formal announcement, but indicated they would approved the agreement.
The agreement, coming after months of U.S.-mediated talks, would mark a major breakthrough in relations between Israel and Lebanon, which formally have been at war since Israel’s establishment in 1948. In Washington, Biden said that Israel and Lebanon had agreed to “formally end” their maritime dispute.
Lebanon and Israel both claim some 860 square kilometers (330 square miles) of the Mediterranean Sea. At stake are rights over exploiting undersea natural gas reserves. Lebanon hopes gas exploration will help lift its country out of its spiraling economic crisis. Israel also hopes to exploit gas reserves while also easing tensions with its northern neighbor.
