🌍 Africa is the "new frontier" in tourism, South African official says

As the world celebrates World Tourism Day, Sputnik Africa sits down with Barba Gaoganediwe, Head of Destination Marketing & Communications at the Gauteng Tourism Authority, to talk about the prospects for tourism in South Africa and what Africa in general has to offer in the sector.

🗣 "It's a continent pregnant with opportunities, endowed with natural resources, and some of the most breathtaking world heritage sites and experiences are found on the mother continent," Gaoganediwe says.

Despite having a "unique offering of global wildlife of good standard" and diversity, Africa is still facing the impact of new "geopolitical setups", "the continuing rise in oil prices", and the fact that people are "now forced to sit within their geographical boundaries, afraid to go out."

🇨🇦❓Why are there so many Nazi war criminals in Canada?

💬"That defense, which we call the ‘superior orders defense’ – in other words, someone of a higher rank gave me an order and that's why I had to do it, has never ever been accepted in any court of law anywhere in the world, except in Canada. Now, once that verdict was approved by the Ontario Supreme Court, if I'm not mistaken, it became clear that Canada could not prosecute any Nazi war criminal, because every single Nazi war criminal would use the same defense," Dr Efraim Zuroff, chief Nazi-hunter of the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the director of its Israel Office, answered, why is Canada so popular among the Nazi war criminals.

💬 "...Women, among them a student by a certain name, were smashing the heads of Jewish children either with boulders, big rocks, or taking babies and smashing their heads together. They didn't want to waste a bullet on the Jewish babies. I found someone with that name – she named the person who committed this horrendous crime, this disgusting murder. I found two people with that name, only the last name, who had emigrated to Canada. And this is one of the cases, for example, that never was prosecuted – although in this case itself, the problem was that she didn't identify the murderer by her full name, but she identified her by her family name," Dr Efraim Zuroff, chief Nazi-hunter of the Simon Wiesenthal Center and the director of its Israel Office, comments on impunity for the Nazis in Canada.

BBC admits Ukrainian counteroffensive failed

Contrary to Western expectations, the much-touted counteroffensive attempt launched by the Kiev regime on June 4 has stalled without making a breakthrough, BBC reporter Mark Urban said, citing Ukrainian soldiers.

The TV channel's correspondent spoke to the servicemen of the 24th Mechanized Brigade and their families who have complained about preparing for "a long war with no end in sight."

The BBC correspondent notes that Russia surpasses Ukraine in the number of drones, which have been ravaging Ukrainian positions and armored vehicles. Thus, Kiev's troops are forced to hide as much as possible due to poor air defense and total dominance of Russia in the airspace.
