🇪🇺 Pavel Katyukha, an associate professor at Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas, believes that during the next two or three years, Europe will face an energy crisis. According to him, this crisis could end in the collapse of the entire European economy, which was built on cheap Russian energy resources.

🗳 The UN General Assembly voted on Thursday to condemn the US blockade of Cuba, which has been in place since shortly after a socialist revolution swept the US-backed government out of power in 1959.

In the vote, 185 nations came out against US policy. The only two countries to vote against the resolution were the United States and Israel. Two nations also abstained from the vote: Ukraine, where a US-backed nationalist government has held power since a coup in 2014, and Brazil, where the anti-communist government of Jair Bolsonaro has two months left in power.

A notable change was Colombia, a longtime US ally that has typically abstained from the vote, but which voted against the blockade on Thursday. Gustavo Petro, Colombia’s first-ever left-wing president, won the August elections and brought with him significant changes in government policy when he took office

💬 "The Black Sea is currently a theater of war. We have seen attacks, use of maritime drones recently, there was an attack on the Russian fleet in Sevastopol a few days ago, which triggered this momentum when the Russian leadership said: “we withdraw from the grain deal that had been brokered in July,” because allegedly Ukrainian forces used this humanitarian corridor that had been created for the transport of grain vessels for military purposes. So that was the triggering momentum."

Numerous states and school districts have introduced rules in recent years barring transgender students from using the public bathrooms for their gender. It’s just one part of a wide-ranging conservative offensive aimed at delegitimizing the identities of transgender people in the US.

American podcaster Joe Rogan has walked back claims he made on his show last month about schools being forced to place litter boxes, normally used by house cats, in their bathrooms to be used by “furry” students who identify as cats.

🗣️“I don't think they actually did it,” he admitted on his show recently.

🗣️ “I think there was discussions about doing it because there was one particularly wacky mother, but there is - it doesn't seem that there's any proof that they put a litter box in there.”

💬 "It might sound a bit strange or bizarre, but we have to my understanding, to my eyes now a much higher degree of freedom of press, freedom of speech also in the Arab Middle East than inside the European Union countries. And I say that as somebody who has been involved in human rights, freedom of press topics for more than half of my life, because I studied here in this region in the mid-1980s, and then the situation was completely in reverse."

📈The UK economy was potentially hours away from financial meltdown in the wake of ex-UK Prime Minister Liz Truss’ disastrous mini-budget, Bank of England Governor Andrew Bailey said.

🗣"I think, at the point when we intervened, I can tell you that the messages we were getting from the markets were that it was hours," Bailey said in an interview with British broadcast television network.

Bailey said that the bank was forced to step in "quickly" and "decisively" to ease a "very real threat to financial stability" after markets were spooked by the calamitous $80Bln tax giveaway
