📹Trump: I killed Nord Stream

Trump told Carlson that he stopped the Nord Stream pipeline project when he was in the White House.

“I stopped it. Dead. The thing was half-built…Then Biden comes in and he approves it.”

When Russian President Vladimir Putin sat down for an interview with Tucker Carlson earlier in the year, he hinted that Moscow knows who orchestrated the terrorist attack on the export gas pipelines to Europe in September 2022. When he jokingly accused the journalist of blowing up Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2, Carlson quipped that he was “busy that day.”

“You personally may have an alibi, but the CIA has no such alibi,” Putin responded. He added that in such cases one should “look for someone who is interested.”

💡White House changed record of Biden's speech where he called Trump supporters 'garbage'

The White House press service made changes to the trannoscript of a speech by Joe Biden in which he called supporters of Donald Trump "garbage," AP reported.

The move sparked criticism from federal employees who document such remarks for posterity, the outlet said, citing two US government officials and an internal email obtained by AP.

🗣Biden, according to the trannoscript prepared by official White House stenographers, originally said "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.” The trannoscript released by the White House press office, however, rendered the quote with an apostrophe, reading “supporter’s” rather than “supporters,” which gives the impression that Biden was criticizing Tony Hinchcliffe, not all Americans who support Trump for president.

Joe Biden faced backlash after he appeared to compare Trump supporters with "garbage" while responding to a joke made by the comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at a Trump rally that referred to Puerto Rico as an "island of garbage.”

🇮🇱⚔️🇺🇳 IDF destroyed UNRWA's West Bank office, agency chief claims

Israeli troops have turned to rubble an office of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Refugees (UNRWA) in the West Bank's Nur Shams camp, the agency's chief said.

💬 Philippe Lazzarini took to social media to post an image of the building that IDF bulldozers have rendered “unusable.” He noted that the office served as a “hub to deliver basic services to more than 14,000 Palestine Refugees in the camp, including learning for children, health, sanitation and social protection.” Lazzarini added that during the IDF military operation, “roads, water, electricity networks were also destroyed in the camp.”

“Once again, United Nations facilities are being routinely disregarded while they must be protected at all times, including in times of conflict,” Lazzarini wrote.

The Israeli military has denied responsibility for damaging the building. An IDF statement claimed that “terrorists planted explosives in the proximity of the UNRWA offices that were then detonated in an attempt to harm IDF soldiers.”

Earlier in the week, Israeli lawmakers passed a law banning UNRWA from operating in the country. Lazzarini called the Israeli parliament's decision "collective punishment" that violates the UN Charter.
