@TedCruzTX on @TuckerCarlsonOfficial Tonight publicly referred to the events of January 6 as a "violent terrorist attack."
🗣 "We are approaching a solemn anniversary this week and is anniversary of a violent terrorist attack on the capital where we saw the men and women of law enforcement demonstrate incredible courage incredible bravery, risk their lives to defend the men and women who serve in this capital."
Tucker mentioned that previously Cruz had described the events as a terrorist attack, though they, according to him, did not meet the definition.
🗣 “Well, Tucker thank you for having me on when you aired your episode last night I sent you a text shortly thereafter and said listen I'd like to go on because the way I phrased things yesterday it was sloppy and it was frankly dumb," Cruz responded.

⚡️ Jens Stoltenberg: NATO won't compromise on principle of accepting any country into bloc
👀 Former New York state governor Andrew Cuomo will be in court today — only to have a charge for groping a former staff member dropped.
Cuomo was set to appear remotely at virtual hearing on Friday. But Albany County District Attorney David Soares indicated earlier in the week he would abandon the misdemeanour charges since he could not prove Brittany Commisso's accusations under current law.
The attorney wrote that “statutory elements of New York law make this case impossible to prove.”

⚡️ The US is ready to propose scaling back its troop deployment and military drills in Eastern Europe in the upcoming talks with Russia, NBC reported Friday, citing a current administration official and two former US national security officials familiar with the plans.
According to the report, the Biden administration is considering suggesting that both the US and Russia address the scope of their military drills in the region.
Aside from this, the White House is reportedly ready to discuss the number of American troops stationed in the Baltic States and Poland, advance notice about the movement of forces, and Moscow’s nuclear-capable Iskander missiles in the Russian territory of Kaliningrad (situated between Poland and Lithuania).

⚡️🇺🇸🇷🇺 US Secretary of State Antony Blinken ahead of security talks with Russia next week held a press conference to outline Washington's stances heading into the negotiations:
🔻The US favors a diplomatic solution to tensions over Ukraine and will reconfirm its readiness to increase transparency and institute risk reduction measures with Russia
🔻Washington believes there are areas where the US and Russia can improve overall security and seeks stable and predictable relations with Moscow
🔻The US believes Moscow is driving a "false narrative" that NATO poses a threat to Russia; Washington also insists that the alliance never promised Russia it would not add new members
🔻NATO's defensive posture will need to be strengthened if Russia does not de-escalate near Ukraine
🔻The US believes Ukraine has fulfilled or is working on implementing the Minsk agreements, while Russia is doing "virtually nothing"
🔻The US is concerned about the state of emergency in Kazakhstan and the deployment of peacekeepers, warning that "once Russians are in your house, it's sometimes very difficult to get them to leave."

🐶 Virus-sniffing dogs are being deployed in the fight against COVID-19
COVID-sniffing canines have become an unexpected weapon in the battle against the deadly virus — and have already been deployed from Florida to New York to Massachusetts. The specially trained canines are now scouring schools to detect the virus, a precaution before students return to class.
“The dogs have been tested in data collected and published at 99.6 percent accuracy,” program manager Kip Schultz told. “So, that’s pretty good.”
With super-sensitive snouts, the dogs, primarily Beagles, can be trained to detect the scent of the virus, just as they can smell explosives, drugs, and even bed bugs.
One downside, Junqueira said, is that once the canines are trained to detect the virus they cannot be re-trained to detect other scents. Nonetheless, the four-legged sleuths will likely be busy for a while.

🏢 The trial for the collapse of Miami's Champlain Towers South was set for early 2023
The estimated date was six months earlier, but lawyers for the insurance companies and the developers of the adjacent building argued that experts would not have time to fully assess what happened.
The trial that will resolve the causes of the collapse of an apartment building in Surfside, in Miami-Dade (Florida, USA), which last June caused the death of almost a hundred people.
The building built in 1981 was in the middle of a recertification process, a study of structures and electricity required by law as a 40-year-old building, when part of it collapsed in the middle of the night. Three years earlier, a report by an engineering firm warned of serious structural problems in the building that deserved urgent attention.
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NITS), whose final report will be a linchpin in the process.
