The IAEA boss is upbeat about reviving the Iranian nuclear deal after his trip to Tehran
Rafael Grossi, the head of the IAEA, arrived in Iran to discuss future cooperation with Mohammad Eslami, who heads Iran's Atomic Energy Organization. The talks come amid a stalemate in the IAEA efforts to rescue the landmark nuclear deal.
💬 "Negotiations on the possible revival of the JCPOA are ongoing. It is not part of what we are discussing now but by having a constructive discussion like we are having now and by having good agreements like I am sure we are going to have, we are going to be paving the way for important agreements. This is my hope," the IAEA chief told a news conference alongside Eslami.
▪️Grossi rejected as "absurd" the claims that the Austria-based nuclear watchdog was acting on US or Israeli orders. "The IAEA has not been and will never be a political tool of anybody. I am under no country's instructions, and we act in a way that is very transparent," he told reporters.

Macron Vows to Build 'Free France' Monument in Congo's Brazzaville
🇫🇷 🇨🇬 France will erect a monument in the Republic of Congo's capital to remember the African men and women who gave their lives to liberate France from Nazi occupation during the Second World War, French President Emmanuel Macron stated
🗣 “In Brazzaville, which was the capital of Free France, a memorial will be built to honor the memory of these women and men, these African heroes, who had never set foot on the soil of France but gave their lives to free it,” Macron said in Congo's capital.
General Charles de Gaulle, who led "Free France" against Nazi Germany in World War II, signed the first laws and regulations governing the Free France region from Brazzaville, which functioned as its capital. Brazzaville was the capital of the Free France government in exile until 1943, when Algiers became the new location

Young Malawians Shouldn't Take Independence for Granted as Heroes Must Be Remembered, Expert Says
Many young people in African countries "take everything for granted" in regards to their nation's independence and its history, says Dr. John Lwanda, research affiliate at Glasgow University, Scotland, in an interview with Sputnik.
In particular, Martyrs' Day in Malawi, which is celebrated every year on March 3, should be very important to young people, but the holiday has been observed as a ritual or tradition for years with almost no profound understanding of its background, according to Dr. Lwanda.
🗣“Martyrs' Day was like a religious ritual. People went through the motions without actually thinking about it. So it is the same as now, when many young people in Africa are not taught the history of the struggle," he states.

Russian tennis star Daniil Medvedev beat his compatriot Andrey Rublev 6-2, 6-2 on Saturday to claim the Dubai noscript, his third in just as many weeks.
The 27-year-old third-seed has amassed 14 match victories within weeks, winning trophies in Rotterdam, Doha and now Dubai and is leading 25-year-old Rublev 5-2 in their ATP head-to-head series.
💬 "It is amazing because at the start of the year, it was not perfect. In tennis when you don't win matches you have doubts. Now it just feels better. I was really happy with these three weeks and I am looking forward to the next ones," Medvedev said, referring to his brief dropout from ATP Top 10.
Medvedev will next compete at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California. The former World No. 1 is six victories away from equaling his career-best winning streak on the ATP Tour, having won 20 consecutive hard-court games from November 2020 to January 2021.
