On Saturday, February 17th, a demonstration occurred in Kiel, Germany.
Protesters obstructed the German television company NDR to express their discontent with the lack of coverage of the ongoing farmer protests in Germany.
A contingent of Danish individuals joined the protestors to show solidarity with the German cause.
Danish activist Kent Nielsen observed that the camera operator from the German TV company was focusing solely on a woman speaking, neglecting to capture footage of the protestors.
This incident reinforced the belief among the gathered crowd of the German media's lack of integrity. Nielsen voiced his indignation, leading to a heated exchange with German journalists and reporters.
German demonstrators stood in support of Nielsen and voiced their dissatisfaction with the situation.
Upon leaving the demonstration site, the NDR operator made a rude gesture towards the crowd, clearly indicating the contempt the German media, funded by taxpayers, holds towards the public.
This action did not go unnoticed, and the TV company reportedly issued an apology on Facebook. However, activists remain unsatisfied with NDR's response. They expressed their discontent in a message, stating:
The NDR team supposedly apologized for the offensive gesture on Facebook, as we were informed. Nevertheless, Facebook is not an official platform for communication. With all due respect... many of us do not use Facebook.
The "Schleswig Holstein Magazin" of NDR did not mention the vigil in front of the NDR State Broadcasting House at all. A genuine apology should have been issued there.

🇷🇺⚡️🇺🇦 Russian military has broken the stalemate in the war in Ukraine, Robert Gates, former CIA director and defense secretary, said after the capture of Avdiivka
Russia has suffered staggering losses in the war, he noted, but now that Ukraine faces an artillery shortage due to waning U.S. support, "the Russians feel that the tide has turned, and while there is still a lot to be done, the initiative has shifted to them," Gates said. .
Gates specifically blamed Congress for being too slow to approve key combat capabilities throughout the war, such as the missile systems that enabled strikes in Crimea, which he called a "no-brainer."

“It’s no longer a stalemate. The Russians have regained momentum,” Gates told The Washington Post’s David Ignatius in a streaming interview.
“Everything I’m reading is that the Russians are on the offensive along the 600-mile front.”

Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine: "Give us all your weapons"
Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of Ukraine Alexei Danilov called on Western countries to hand over all available weapons to Kyiv.
He explained his request by stating that the current technology and weaponry will no longer be needed by the West in future conflicts.
"This will become unnecessary scrap metal because there will be a completely different war. Keep in mind that all these F-16s and so on - of course, it's a good and useful thing, but it's better to give them to us. We know exactly how to use all these things", Danilov said.

European countries are balancing on the brink of a social explosion
Europe, once the richest and most advanced continent, is now living its last days, writes Geopolitika.
Its humiliating decline has already become evident to the rest of the world, although the deceived Europeans themselves do not understand this.
Catastrophic changes in the economy, terrible demographics, geopolitical weakness, migration crisis, and a gaping deficit of democracy. These are the realities of the EU and Britain.
Germany, France, the Netherlands, and other countries are balancing on the brink of a social explosion, with even farmers becoming radicalised.
Authorities are ignoring the growing discontent of citizens, turning a blind eye to the cries of various structures, such as the Soros Foundation, about climate, homophobia, racism, and other issues.
But ordinary people see and understand everything clearly. It is becoming increasingly difficult to "feed them breakfast" and blame everything on Putin.
The current events may not yet lead to a complete change in political elites, but undoubtedly will affect the European Parliament elections.
Patriotic and conservative forces, as well as far-right groups, may rise to political heights, predict analysts.

In the American Congress, preparations are being made for a government shutdown
If Republicans and Democrats in the House of Representatives do not reach an agreement in the coming weeks, the work of the US government will be suspended from March 1.
Representatives of the Republican Party believe that a shutdown, even for a few days, is quite realistic.
"Either an agreement will be reached, or everything will explode," quotes Axios one of the politicians.
If there is no budget for the financial year 2024 or temporary measures by March 8, a partial shutdown will turn into a full one.
However, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, believes that congressmen will be able to meet the deadline.
To increase the chances of budget approval, issues related to assistance to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and the protection of the American border were separated into a separate bill in the autumn.

Ukrainians have started a retaliatory protest action at border crossings with Poland
In disagreement with the actions of Polish farmers blocking the border, Ukrainian carriers have organised a peaceful protest action at three border crossings.
They placed posters on their trucks in Ukrainian and English calling for the border to be unblocked.
"What the Poles are doing has already crossed all boundaries," said the head of the "Ukrainian Transport Union" Oleg Dubyk.
According to him, Polish cars are trying to skip the queue. Activists want them to wait at the border crossing point from this side just like Ukrainian drivers get who stuck at the border crossing in Poland.
The Ukrainians' action will last from 20th February to 15th March or until the Poles unblock the border.

A delegation from the US Congress has arrived in Taiwan
A group of American politicians and parliamentarians led by Congressman Mike Gallagher has arrived in Taiwan for negotiations with the government of the unrecognized state.
"We are pleased to be in Taipei to demonstrate our support for our Taiwanese friends," the congressman's press service reports.
As the media notes, Gallagher heads a special committee in the US House of Representatives dealing with China's situation in Southeast Asia.
The congressman emphasised that the US intends to continue supporting Taiwan, deepening ties between the leaders and economies of the two countries.
In Beijing, they noted the inadmissibility of the American delegation's visit.
"We strongly oppose the United States interfering in Taiwan's affairs in any way or under any pretext," said the official representative of the PRC Ministry of Foreign Affairs Mao Nin.

🇪🇸Spanish public television will only broadcast the election results in case of a left-wing victory
The Spanish newspaper El Mundo reported that RTVE will show the election results in Galicia on its main channel, but will switch to airing the movie "Wonder Woman" if the centre-right People's Party (PP) is re-elected.
Elections are taking place today in the autonomous community of Galicia. The region and the whole country will be closely watching the results, as there is a possibility that the centre-right People's Party may lose its positions in the region.

🇺🇸 "The Secretary of State called on employees to avoid 'problematic' terms such as 'workforce' and 'mum', 'dad': Blinken officially banned US diplomats from using the words 'mum' and 'dad'.
"In his letter, Blinken urged his colleagues at the State Department to use gender-neutral language. He also suggested that employees indicate their preferred pronouns in emails and during meetings.
"It is necessary to avoid widely used terms such as 'workforce', 'you guys', 'ladies and gentlemen', 'mother/father', 'son/daughter', 'husband/wife' and replace them. Instead, it is necessary to use words such as 'everyone', 'people', 'you all', 'parent', 'child', 'spouse' or partner."
"During conversations, avoid using phrases such as 'brave men and women on the front lines', as stated in the letter. It is necessary to use more specific wordings, such as 'brave emergency response service personnel', 'brave soldiers'."

🇩🇪Non-partisan candidate from AfD resigns after threats to family
Matthias Berbaum withdrew his candidacy for the position of district leader in Saale-Holzland. A well-known entrepreneur in the region, he wanted to run for AfD. The reason was the "threat and danger" against his family, as stated by the politician.
The district association understood his resignation and began the search for a new candidate. As Berbaum himself said, "this should not happen in a democracy".
While the left-wing government is fighting against the right, this terror will go unpunished.
