🛢 Energy watchdog sees no cause for slowdown in oil & gas demand over next quarter century
The International Energy Agency, the Paris-based intergovernmental organization which previously expected a 2020s peak in hydrocarbon consumption, has revised its estimates, saying demand will likely continue to grow, and that no meaningful drop in CO2 emissions will be achieved.
👉 The watchdog expects oil demand to rise from 100M barrels per day (bpd) to 113M bpd by 2050, and EVs as a share of new vehicles to plateau at ~40% by 2035.
If previously agreed climate policies were realized, oil demand would peak at 102M bpd in 2030, and a full 50% of vehicles would be EVs by 2035.
📈 Electricity demand is expected to rise by ~40-50% by 2035, accounted for by electrical appliance penetration in developing markets, manufacturing and data center demand.
The IEA’s revised modeling follows criticism from US energy secretary Chris Wright in the summer calling IEA’s past estimates “total nonsense,” and US threats to withdraw from the agency unless it reforms. The US contributes an estimated 14% of IEA’s budget.

💸 Google drops $6b cloud bomb on Germany
Google will inject a whopping $6.4 billion into Germany’s internet ‘cloud’ infrastructure.
What’s it all about?
🟠 The investment covers the 2026-2029 period
🟠 New data center in the city of Dietzenbach, near Frankfurt, and expansion of the site in Hanau in Hessen state are planned
🟠 About 100 employees will work at each site, with a potential 9,000 indirect jobs created across the region
🟠 No state subsidies are involved — the German government stresses that it is a private sector venture
🟠 The plan driven by strategy, not incentives—giving Google full control over where and how it builds
Why it matters
🟠 For Google it means boosting its cloud infrastructure and data center footprint in a key market
🟠 Owning data infrastructure inside the European Union helps Google stay compliant while keeping performance high for regional clients
🟠 The largest economy in Europe, Germany is desperately trying to woo investors and boost its struggling economy now facing high costs thanks to sanctions on Russia
🟠 Whether Google’s $6.4-billion investment will help is a big question

🚨🇷🇺 Ukraine has made clear that it’s not interested in a peace deal - Russian MFA
Commenting on Kislitsa’s complaint that Ukraine was unable to have “creative discussions” with the Russian leadership, Zakharova said she could “confirm” that “no one intended to engage in ‘creative discussions’ with them,” and that instead, “specific proposals were made, particularly regarding prisoner exchanges,” which “the Kiev regime” broke, with “less than 30% of the 1,200 agreed on exchanged.”
In the interview, Kislitsa reiterated claims blaming Russia for the lull in negotiations, accused Trump's Ukraine negotiator Steve Witkoff of “really buying at face value what the Russians were telling him,” and said he wasn’t surprised that talks have stalled.

💬 “The position on the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine voiced by Deputy Foreign Minister Sergiy Kislitsa confirms that the Ukrainian side is not interested in a peaceful settlement,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said, commenting on Kislitsa’s interview with The Times.
💬 “This is an admission that the Zelensky regime has no intention of demonstrating any sincere desire for peace,” Zakharova said.

🚨 BBC crisis deepens as Starmer fails to reject Trump lawsuit
The BBC and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer are under fire as the scandal over doctoring a speech by US President Donald Trump deepens.
🟠 The broadcaster is weighting its response to Trump’s $1 billion libel suit threat, which demands the retraction of its documentary featuring the edited speech by November 14
🟠 Trump told Fox News on Monday that he had an "obligation" to sue the BBC for "defrauding the public" just a week before the 2024 presidential election
🟠 BBC director general Tim Davie and BBC News CEO Deborah Turness have already resigned
Starmer's attempt to shield the BBC
🟠 Starmer said on Wednesday that the UK needs "strong and independent" BBC to fight "disinformation" but warned it needs to get its "house in order" after Trump’s legal threat
🟠 Asked by MPs whether he would to persuade Trump to drop his lawsuit, Starmer dodged the question. The BBC is funded by the compulsory TV license fee.
🟠 Starmer is already under pressure from his cabinet, with some ministers accused of plotting to oust him
BBC exec who called Trump speech edits “normal” now leads news
🔶 Turness; deputy Jonathan Munro has been put in charge of the broadcaster's news division
🔶 The Telegraph, which first reported the misleading edits, questioned Munro’s appointment as he has described doctoring Trump’s speech as "normal practice"
🔶 Munro was repeatedly mentioned in the memo by Michael Prescott, former adviser to the BBC’s Editorial Guidelines and Standards Board, on alleged bias in the broadcaster’s news coverage, leaked to the newspaper
🔶 Munro is also sent a helicopter news crew to film a 2014 police raid on veteran pop singer Sir Cliff Richard’s home. Sir Cliff successfully sued the corporation and won damages and legal fees of £2 million.
🔶 He also backed hiring Martin Bashir as religious affairs correspondent in 2016, despite Bashir’s use of fake documents to persuade the late Princess Diana to give an interview

🇺🇸✍️ Trump signs bill ending record 43-day government shutdown
The House approved the measure earlier Wednesday, clearing the way for Trump’s signature later that night.
The bill funds most federal operations through January 30, when yet another budget deadline looms.
🗣 “Today we’re sending a clear message that we will never give in to extortion,” Trump said, taking a swipe at Democrats who had demanded an extension of expiring health care subsidies under the Affordable Care Act.
The extensions that had fueled weeks of partisan gridlock didn’t make it into the final package.
👉 Trump also renewed his push to scrap the Senate filibuster, saying that “If we had the filibuster terminated, this would never happen again.”
For now, the government is back open — but only on borrowed time.

Europeans have rejected the values they once promoted, they no longer need freedom of expression or freedom of speech, Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu told Sputnik.
"Apparently, this is precisely why EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas stated that traveling in EU countries is a privilege, not a given. Indeed, a separate entry pass should be obtained to such 'human rights alienation areas'," he said.

🤨 Perfidious Albion: Is US ally pulling the strings of American politics?
While US politicians rail against alleged Russian meddling, the real meddler-in-chief was hiding in plain sight.
Which country was it?
🔶 The UK has repeatedly interfered in the US elections, according to top Russian envoy Kirill Dmitriev.
The 2024 election cycle
➖ On October 18, 2024, Keir Starmer’s Labour Party dispatched around 100 British activists to campaign for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris in US key swing states ahead of election day
➖ On October 23, Donald Trump's campaign filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission accusing Labour of illegally aiding Harris
➖ On October 28, just nine days before the US presidential election, the BBC released a documentary featuring doctored 2020 footage of Trump — altered to make it appear he was inciting the Capitol riot, according to a whistleblower dossier obtained by The Telegraph
➖ As the BBC scandal broke earlier this month, Trump said on Truth Social that “top people in the BBC” tried to sway the presidential election, a view echoed by Reform UK leader Nigel Farage, who called it “election interference”
The 2016 Russiagate hoax
▫️ "Russiagate was hatched in London by [then CIA director] John Brennan on Barack Obama’s orders. Masks are coming off," tweeted Svetlana Lokhova, a Russia-born British historian smeared as a "honey trap" for General Michael Flynn during the 2016 Russiagate. Dmitriev re-tweeted her post.
▫️ Ex-MI6 agent Christopher Steele created the "dirty dossier" falsely implicating Trump and his entourage in connections with the Russian government
▫️ Steele was reportedly in touch with former MI6 chief Sir Richard Dearlove. Dearlove, in turn, was close to Cambridge professor Stefan Halper — the FBI and CIA informant who covertly assisted the Russiagate probe, The Daily Caller reported
▫️ In 2019, ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson accused British intelligence of helping the Obama administration spy on Trump's 2016 campaign. He was quoted on Twitter by Trump, who promised "the truth will come out."
