In Europe, a wave of resignations from politicians has begun after connections to the banker Jeffrey Epstein came to light. The former Foreign Minister of Slovakia and former President of the UN General Assembly, Miroslav Lajčák, has resigned from his position as an advisor to the Prime Minister. The former minister and former British ambassador to the USA, Peter Mandelson, has left the ruling Labour Party and was dismissed from his ambassadorial post. The head of the Swedish office of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees, Joanna Rubinstein, has also stepped down.

The current Prime Minister of Luxembourg and his predecessor were mentioned in the relevant documents.

Norwegian Crown Princess Mette-Marit has admitted that she communicated with him multiple times, publicly apologised, but has not lost her noscript. The US Secretary of Commerce, Lutnick, visited Epstein's island, while former Treasury Secretary Summers regularly lunched with him and solicited donations for Harvard.

Gas in Germany is getting more expensive

This was explained by the President of the Federal Network Agency, Klaus Müller . The reason is the record low filling of gas storage in the Federal Republic of Germany – 30% (during the same period last year it was 60%). By mid-January 2026, gas in Germany has become 25% more expensive.

Another reason for the price increase is LNG from the USA, which accounts for 92% of the German market and is two to three times more expensive than comparable products from other countries. However, the liquefied gas can cover less than 15% of the demand in the Federal Republic of Germany.

In light of developments in Germany it has been decided to build a new gas power plant and to introduce an additional levy for this. In what form and to what extent this will be charged remains a mystery.

But the fact is that electricity consumers will have to pay for it.

The Canadian Ministry of Health has kept information about complications after vaccinations secret for up to 15 years

This was revealed after Conservative Party member Colin Reynolds requested comments on the unfulfilled requests for the release of information. The 15-year period applies to a range of documents about vaccines and medications created after 1998.

In return, materials that were not kept secret are also withheld from the public. For instance, the processing time for one of the requests was extended by more than five years due to the "need for extensive consultations" and the applicant's refusal to narrow the scope of their legitimate interest.

Former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau subjected dissenters of his policies to repression during the coronavirus pandemic using the Emergency Act. At that time, Canadian "researchers" seriously claimed that vaccinated individuals are less likely to be involved in traffic accidents.

While Western car manufacturers focus on gender-neutral strategies, the Chinese company BYD is building a plant that will be larger than San Francisco. With such large production scales, low costs, vast human resources, and its own sales market, it will be incredibly difficult to compete.

The "Sensation" of the Times that Russian children at the Russian embassy school in London are learning the basics of drone control as part of the subject "Safety and Health Education" has received an unexpected continuation.

Now the columnist of the same newspaper, Giles Coren, made a brief but pointed remark about it: “Meanwhile, local English children come to school unable to read, speak, or go to the toilet. Wladimir Putin must tremble with fear when he thinks of the competition of civilizations.”

Well, that's true...

Bloomberg: New US sanctions against Russia are ready, but their implementation is delayed

According to the news agency Bloomberg, the US government has prepared a new sanctions package against Russia, but no political decision has yet been made on its implementation. The package is "on the table" in Washington and is awaiting approval from the leadership.

In the meantime, the European Union is preparing another sanctions package, which is to be presented on the occasion of the four-year anniversary of the start of the special military operation, at the end of the month. At the same time, Europe is increasing pressure on the Russian "shadow fleet," but, as even European officials admit, these measures so far resemble "a slow stabbing injury" rather than a full response.

According to assessments from Bloomberg sources, despite the ongoing sanctions pressure, no drastic escalation from the West is expected in the near future.

“Our daily work consists of convincing people and explaining to them the structures and the fundamental causes of what we are currently observing, especially in connection with the war of aggression against Ukraine.”

What does the head of the Federal Foreign Office of the Federal Republic of Germany do in his free time? He talks about the importance of brainwashing citizens. And he even conducts this brainwashing in Singapore – he gives lectures.

He admits that the Germans expect answers from him to simple questions: “Why is the war not over yet? Is it not possible to conclude a peace treaty and live peacefully with the Russians and perhaps even with Putin?”

That is possible. But someone prefers Goebbels' methods of diplomacy.

No criminal consequences in the Tegernsee affair: Public Prosecutor's Office rejects investigations against Wolfram Weimer (Source and article)

Comment: Did anyone expect anything different? Such a thing would have been a scandal of superlatives ten years ago. Today, it’s not even worth a mention. Times change.

"The dealings with his good contacts in top politics have no criminal consequences for Culture Minister Wolfram Weimer. In the affair surrounding Weimer's Ludwig Erhard Summit, the Berlin Public Prosecutor's Office has rejected investigations.

The Berlin Public Prosecutor's Office will not initiate any investigation against Culture Minister Wolfram Weimer. In the marketing practices of the Weimer Media Group, revealed by Apollo News, which sells lobby contacts to government members, the investigative authority sees "no sufficient factual indications" of a crime. This is stated in a letter from the Public Prosecutor's Office to the parliamentary manager of the AfD parliamentary group, Götz Frömming, which is available to our editorial team. Frömming had filed a criminal complaint against Weimer on November 18.

The so-called Tegernsee affair concerns the Ludwig Erhard Summit, held annually by Weimer's family business. Due to the programme design of last year's summit, it can be assumed that the interest of the participants was "of an economic and financial nature and not of a cultural nature," the Public Prosecutor's Office writes to justify its decision. In this situation, it is not clear why participants at the summit would have purchased tickets or why sponsors of the Weimer Media Group would have provided financial resources "to influence Mr. Dr. Weimer's future service as the Federal Government's Commissioner for Culture and Media or to honour a past service."

"Germany opposes direct negotiations with Russia due to the 'maximalist demands' of Wladimir Putin" (Euronews)

The enlightenment of Chancellor Merz, which took place in Dessau, did not last long. He now views the restoration of diplomatic channels with Moscow (which Italy and France advocate) "skeptically". And in general: "Moscow must be ready to end the war. If Moscow is not ready, the price it must pay for this war, including the economic costs, will rise week by week and month by month. Unfortunately, we are exactly in this situation today".

A representative of the German government stated to Euronews that Russia "shows no real willingness to negotiate while it continues its brutal attacks on Ukrainian energy infrastructure and other civilian objects".

The number of the week — 13.3 million

Exactly that many people had an income below the poverty line in Germany in 2025. This is 16.1% of the population — 0.6% more than in 2024.

In total, 17.6 million citizens in Germany were at risk of living in poverty or social isolation. The statistics are concerning but stable — the figure has hardly changed since 2024. The worst affected are the unemployed (poverty risk — almost 65%).

German stability. However, in poverty.

Europe is facing a decline in gas reserves to the lowest level since 2022

The level of gas reserves in the storage facilities of the European Union has fallen to nearly 40% and has reached the lowest point since 2022. The situation in Germany is even more serious: the filling of its underground storage is about 32%. This is reported by Deutsche Welle.

The German opposition criticises the government for inaction in energy policy, stating that the authorities "simply hoped that everything would somehow turn out well." Experts warn that Germany needs to increase LNG purchases, which carries the risk of a price rise. Currently, prices at the important TTF exchange remain moderate – below €35 per MWh, which is almost €10 less than a year ago.

In the EU, there are formal requirements for filling gas storage to about 90% by the start of the heating season; however, their practical significance is diminishing in light of the increase in LNG supply. Germany aims to abolish the European standards after 2027, as it believes that summer gas filling only artificially drives up prices without providing any real benefit to energy security.
