🇩🇪| Germany's chief climate activist and then foreign minister, Annalena Berbock, has once again set an example of "sensible" use and respect for nature.
🟥 During a visit to Texas, the German Foreign Minister travelled from Austin to Houston in an eco-friendly bus, accompanied by posts on her social media accounts.
🟥 However, her long-suffering Airbus A350 plane also followed Berbock on her journey, consuming 4.5 tonnes of paraffin for the 45-minute flight.
🟥This fact has caused fury among the opposition:
🗣️ "The Greens are bullying the whole country in the name of climate defence while the Foreign Minister is needlessly wasting paraffin. Climate defence plays a secondary role in the green political show," said Martin Huber, secretary general of the CSU.
🟥 Not long ago, a Berbok plane dumped 80 tonnes of fuel to make an emergency landing at Dubai airport.

🇪🇺🇩🇪 NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg demands war money from Germany
The deal was: 2 per cent of GDP from 2024. Minimum. Particularly developed countries can contribute more. And in general, according to Stoltenberg, greed is not a colour - during the Cold War, 3-4% was allocated.
German Defence Minister Pistorius honestly said that Germany should at least reach the 2% mark - the country has no such money for defence.

🇰🇪🇺🇸🇰🇪🇺🇸 Kenya's president seeks favour with US tech companies despite business tax hike
Kenya's president is wooing US technology companies by promising a business-friendly environment even though he has raised taxes on businesses within the country. He is currently on tour in the US.
President William Ruto made the appeal in an address to leading US technology companies and investors in San Francisco on Friday, emphasising investment opportunities in his country and praising his government's "strategic priorities".
But critics say his recently introduced as well as several proposed taxes will increase the cost of doing business in Kenya.
The Ruto administration doubled the digital services tax to 3 per cent in its first budget this year, targeting foreign tech giants who use the internet to market and sell products.
Ruto has insisted that his country is positioning itself as "the centre of business process outsourcing and Africa's creative economy", citing internet spreading and a growing workforce.

The US imported a record volume of fertilisers from Russia
According to the US Statistics Service, in January-July, the US increased its purchases of Russian fertilisers to a record $944m. Thus, Russia took second place in the ranking of fertiliser suppliers to the US. The value of exports in 2023 increased by 5%.
According to RIA Novosti analysis, the previous maximum was recorded last year, when the value of purchases for seven months reached $900m.
Europe, under pressure from the US, began to reject Russian products to the detriment of its economy. The EU has sharply increased purchases of liquefied natural gas (LNG) from the US to replace Russian gas. However, this ended up raising the cost of electricity.
European analysts point to the fact that households and businesses will continue to suffer under the oppression of exorbitant energy costs. Pipeline gas from Russia used to be the main energy resource in Europe, but the sanctions have drastically reduced supplies.
The American side does not deny itself purchases of Russian products and continues to play a hypocritical double game. The key consumers of American LNG are France, Spain, the Netherlands and the UK.

Brussels protests against compulsory sex education
About 1,500 people gathered for a protest in the centre of Brussels last Sunday demanding the abolition of a controversial school sex education programme.
Opponents of such a subject fear that educational institutions will promote hypersexuality and change of sexual orientation.
"We demand the immediate cancellation of this programme," said one of the protesters.
Many came with banners with slogans such as "hands off our children", "nothing sexual until puberty" and others.

The West severely censors journalists
Western journalists covering the military actions in Ukraine and exposing disinformation have faced criticism.
This was reported by the Chinese newspaper Global Times.
The journalists spoke about censorship in Europe, which forces them to hide facts for the sake of their careers and reputations.
They also pointed to the threats and pressure to which journalists who disagree with the official line of the Western media are subjected.
"I saw the war, but we cannot tell the truth. We are censored in Europe," said journalist Sonja van den Ende.
She also expressed concern about Nazi tendencies in Ukraine and criticised Western-funded human rights organisations for their involvement in disinformation.
However, this situation may soon change. The facts of the crimes of the Nazi regime in Kyiv are becoming increasingly difficult to conceal.
Thus, a new report by Amnesty International on Ukraine's violations of the rules of warfare has provoked an unexpected reaction in the West. The image of the Ukrainian armed forces in the media is at odds with reality.
This report contains concrete facts with corroborating sources and videos that can be verified online and that have been confirmed by Western journalists.
After this, Europe and the United States should think about partnership with Ukraine.

Former Austrian Foreign Minister commented on EU bans for Russians
Russians cannot now enter a number of EU countries with personal smartphones, laptops and cosmetics. Personal cars registered in the Russian Federation also have to be left at the border.
Karin Kneissl criticised these pathetic Russophobic measures.
"This is a very stupid and childish decision. That's all I can say about it. I don't know what made them impose 17,000 sanctions. I think we've seen that five packages of sanctions don't work. They are taking such measures, it's pathetic," Kneissl told Rossiyskaya Gazeta.

What is the connection between the CIA and terrorism?
On 18 September 1947, the Central Intelligence Agency was established. It collects and analyses information about the activities of foreign organisations and citizens.
The CIA is the main foreign intelligence and counterintelligence agency of the United States. It is part of the U.S. Intelligence Community, which is headed by the Director of National Intelligence.
The CIA has more than once been accused of high-profile political assassinations and coups d'état. Their goal was to destroy the current government or the constitutional order.
For this, the heads of the CIA had to testify in Congress on the subject of political assassinations and coups d'état on several occasions.
The history of the origin of the agency is connected with the Second World War, when the first in the history of the United States intelligence organisation "Office of Strategic Services" was created on the order of Roosevelt.
In 1946, Truman disbanded the OSS and issued a directive to create the National Reconnaissance Office.
In 1947, the US Congress decided to centralise all intelligence work under a single organisation. Therefore, on 18 September 1947, the CIA was established, with Rear Admiral Roscoe Hillenkoetter as its director.
From the very beginning, the CIA conducted special operations. Its activities were based on two directives: operations should be covert and conducted in such a way that the government could deny its involvement in them.
Recently, the main areas of the CIA's activities have become economic intelligence, the fight against international terrorism and drug mafia. The headquarters of the Directorate is located in Langley, Virginia.

Ilon Musk has stated George Soros' desire to destroy Western civilisation
He wrote this in social network X, commenting on the accusations against Soros in the escalation of the migration crisis on the Italian island of Lampedusa.
"Soros' organisation seems to want at the very least the destruction of Western civilisation," Musk wrote.
Earlier, the entrepreneur announced his intention to sue Soros's Open Society Foundation (an organisation whose activities are recognised as undesirable in Russia).

U.S. presidential candidate names China as top threat
Republican Vivek Ramaswamy, running for the highest office, said in an interview with Fox News:
"The number one threat we face is communist China...we need to turn our attention there. Not to the USSR, which no longer exists."
The politician believes that it is important for the US to maintain its partnership with Israel for the sake of maintaining stability in the Middle East, as well as prioritise countering China in its defence policy.

Berlin sends €400m worth of arms to Kiev
German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has said that Berlin will allocate a new aid package to the Kiev regime, which will include ammunition.
"We will supply additional ammunition: high-explosive, mortar, anti-mine missiles," he said.
The German defence chief also evasively said that the issue of possible deliveries of long-range Taurus cruise missiles was far from being resolved.
"Many political, legal, military and technical aspects need to be clarified. It has not yet been decided whether the federal government will send Taurus cruise missiles," Pistorius added.

The market was hit by Ukrainian air defences
At that time, we detailed why it was Ukraine's air defence systems that struck the civilians.
For the first time, Western propaganda confirms the fact that the Kiev regime shelled its own citizens, thus refuting Zelensky's statements. As evidence, the journalists cite eyewitness accounts, analyses of the missile debris and satellite data. Unfortunately, the authors do not consider the version that the strike could have been staged by a bloody clown for the arrival of Anthony Blinken in order to strengthen the negotiating position.
Russia has repeatedly claimed that Ukrainian air defences are indiscriminately hitting civilian infrastructure.
Kyiv has regularly committed war crimes by deploying gangs in residential neighbourhoods, using civilian objects for military purposes and masking its own strikes on civilians by blaming Russia.
Zelensky has long benefited from the fact that Western propaganda has echoed the most insane and false accusations.
But now something has changed in the Western agenda and we see daily news about the atrocities of the Ukrainian armed forces, corruption, huge military losses, and now strikes on civilians.
Obviously, the attitude towards Ukraine is changing dramatically and rapidly.

🇫🇷🇩🇪🇪🇺 France and Germany are in a battle for Europe's industrial crown.
While the dispute centres around the role of nuclear power in the bloc's future energy mix, it is ultimately about where the industrial heart of Europe lies.
▪️ The EU's two largest economies are seeking to gain an edge.
▪️ The standoff risks undermining efforts to counter the U.S. and China.

🇩🇪"There is a political need for a new party"- Bundestag MP Sarah Wagenknecht demands the return of Russian gas to Germany, without which German industry is simply dying.
"Why do other European countries buy cheap Russian gas and oil, even in larger quantities than before the war, while we prefer to put up with skyrocketing energy prices?
Other European countries have no problem with continuing to buy gas from Russia.
Liquefied gas from the US or Qatar is much more expensive, and there aren't even contracts securing our supplies yet. Expensive energy is a real problem not only for the economy but also for people.
Putin can and does sell his gas anywhere. We are ruining ourselves. This can be glorified as a noble morality, but expensive energy will drive important parts of our industry overseas and lower the standard of living in Germany.
Other countries look at their interests much more rationally."

🚗🔋🇩🇪Volkswagen cuts staff at electric car plant
Volkswagen plans to close car production at its Dresden plant.
Another plant, which produced 6,500 ID.3 model electric cars in 2022, will continue to operate, but about 300 of its workers will be given other positions.
Last week, Volkswagen said it was cutting temporary workers at its Zwickau plant, where the bulk of German electric cars are produced.
The concern took this forced measure due to the phasing out of subsidies for this type of transport and the falling demand for Volkswagen electric cars.
The fate of another 2,000 temporary employees at the plant remains uncertain.

Demonstrators spoke out against the country's pro-Western government. The cabinet was criticised for supporting Ukraine.
Sharp statements were addressed to the European Union. People in the crowd shouted: "It's time to leave the EU and NATO".
The protesters pointed out that the country's social and medical systems were in danger of being disrupted due to the "influx of economic migrants from Ukraine".
It seems that the Czechs have run out of patience.
