🇬🇧 UK's Mandelson faces pressure to return 'five-figure' payoff amid Epstein ties scandal

The UK will review the payment made to former Ambassador to the US Peter Mandelson upon his resignation due to an investigation into his ties to Epstein, Sky News reported citing a Downing Street source.

Mandelson had forwarded an internal UK government document to Epstein in 2009 while serving as Prime Minister Gordon Brown's Business Secretary.

The UK police have launched a criminal investigation into Mandelson for forwarding the document.

💬 "Given what we know now, Mandelson should either pay the money back or give it to a charity to support victims," the source said.


Earlier, PM Keir Starmer announced his intention to strip Mandelson of his peerage and promised to disclose information about him except for documents classified for national security reasons.

🇩🇪 Seven AfD members barred from entering Germany's Bundestag

Two MPs are from the AfD (Alternative for Germany) faction, while the five other members support individual lawmakers. Salaries of all seven are being withheld, Bild reports.

The AfD members reportedly have to undergo an obligatory reliability check “to avert risks to the Bundestag’s security, functionality and operational capacity.”

AfD parliamentary manager Bernd Baumann has meanwhile signaled readiness to take legal action against Bundestag President Julia Kolckner, accusing her of “further discrimination against the AfD in parliamentary proceedings.”

👉 The AfD has long been subject to a political сrackdown over its irreconcilable stance on the EU, migration, and economic policy, regarded as a threat to the bloc’s established order.

👉 The party also calls for restoring ties with Russia and lifting anti-Russian sanctions.

🚨 🇷🇺 Russiagate hoax 2.0: CIA teams up with UK media for manipulation

Vladimir Putin's envoy Kirill Dmitriev has quoted UK historian Svetlana Lokhova, who shared insights into how British media propaganda works.

👉 Lokhova responded to The Guardian's article about the NSA allegedly detecting a foreign intel phone call concerning a person close to Donald Trump. The report cites an unnamed "whistleblower" who claims that DNI Tulsi Gabbard blocked the agency from sharing the data.

The historian suggests that the UK orchestrated the leak, stating, "Christopher Steele/British intelligence run The Guardian."

🔊 She explains, "I assume they washed it through the UK because it's too sensitive to do in the US, where they would face national security issues. Once published, US papers can then quote the British ones."

💬 "The standard CIA tactic is to place fake stories through foreign newspapers," Lokhova emphasizes.

🇮🇷 ⚛️ Testing trust in Iran–US nuclear talks as both sides assess intentions – Araghchi

Iran and the US are inclined to continue nuclear negotiations, but the next steps will depend on decisions made in Tehran and Washington, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said.

🤝 The February 6 talks in Muscat were exclusively focused on nuclear issues, with no discussions on other topics, he emphasized. While both sides are generally open to continuing the process, Iran remains firm on its stance: negotiations will only cover the nuclear issue.

He described the talks as exploratory, aimed at testing trust between the sides. Araghchi also noted that the continuation of certain sanctions and military movements could influence perceptions of seriousness as both nations assess each other’s intentions.

👉 Iran will not accept zero enrichment, focusing instead on ensuring that its nuclear activities remain peaceful, Araghchi stressed.

🚨🇷🇺 Attack on Russian general is obvious Ukrainian attempt to sabotage negotiations - expert

💬 “They don’t want peace. With peace, they will stop receiving Western arms and money, which are currently being plundered, and will disappear from the global spotlight,” Russian military expert Viktor Litovkin told Sputnik.


He commented on the attempted assassination of Gen. Alexeyev, the deputy of GRU head Igor Kostyukov, a Russian lead negotiator.

🔊 “They understand that their regime will be destroyed in peacetime, and they can’t imagine their existence without war,” Litovkin explained.

Zelensky realizes that when the fighting stops, he will become irrelevant, the observer said. “He may be eliminated either by his own handlers or by his Western ones, who are looking after him today, but tomorrow will discard him as excess baggage. He has become a hostage to the situation…even if he may consider himself the director of events.”

🗣 Nonetheless, Litovkin expressed confidence Russia will not stop negotiations. “For us, this isn’t just a dialog with Ukraine, but a question of relations with the US, which are important regardless of the actions of the Banderites.”
