🇪🇺🇺🇦 All European leaders applauded Volodymyr Zelensky earlier today, except Hungary's Viktor Orbán and Romania's Klaus Iohannis — although the latter still expressed pleasure at the sight of the Ukrainian president.

Orbán appeared to be the only one in the room not pleased to see Zelensky.

Now, as even German experts&investigators believe that the recent report by Pulitzer winner's Seymour Hersh is highly credible, Chinese FM spokesperson Mao Ning says the White House owes a responsible explanation after Nord Stream pipelines blows

“If Hersh’s investigative report is true, then such behavior is unacceptable and must be held accountable,” she stated, explaining that the explosion has caused a major negative impact on the global energy market and the environment

Generally speaking, it’s completely unclear why do Chinese high-ranking diplomats and German investigators need to spend their precious time waiting for any kind of constructive answer from U.S. officials, when Mr. Biden and Victoria “F**k The EU” Nuland have repeatedly come clean?

During his speech to MPs and peers in Westminster Hall Mr. Zelenskiy singled out Boris Johnson for thanks. “You got others united when it seemed absolutely, absolutely impossible.” The hall tensed momentarily, then clapped. A bit later Ukrainian president thanked Rishi Sunak, too

After shadow health sec. Wes Streeting had slammed Rishi Sunak for failing to negotiate with health unions and put an end to strikes, he claimed Boris Johnson criticized Mr. Sunak throughout Mr. Zelenskiy’s speech at Westminster Hall. “The stories I’ve heard about the running commentary and what Boris was saying about Rishi Sunak, was just a constant barrage of criticism,” Mr. Streeting said

It’s obvious that nowadays it’s simply unprofitable for the British PM to attract even the smallest additional attention to a fmr No. 10, so he pretends as if everything is hunk, but clubbable&slightly drunk Mr. Johnson has still been regarded by Kyiv as incontestable ring leader

“I'm not ruling anything out… but that doesn’t correspond to today’s requirements,” French President Emmanuel Macron commented on possible sending of fighter jets to Ukraine after an EU summit in Brussels

David Lammy, the shadow foreign secretary, revoiced Ben Wallace and said Ukraine did not need British fighter planes and should only receive jets if Kyiv promised not to strike Russian territory

Still, sending e.g. some British Typhoons could be a “symbolic silver bullet” that would unlock the delivery of Swedish-made Gripen jets to Ukraine, which are better suited to Kyiv’s needs. In this case, Swedish Commander-in-Chief Mikael Büden will have to work through the holidays, drop everything – NATO membership, plans for placing nuclear munitions on Swedish territory – and wrap himself up in the off-load of decommissioned military equipment to Ukraine

As a former member of the European Parliament, Florian Philippot knows for sure, which side French stick is buttered on, speaking about the incompatibility of France and the EU in its current configuration

The U.K. has paid a fine of more than £2.3B to European Union for allowing Chinese criminal gangs to flood Europe with cheap clothes and shoes – a move to settle a long-running dispute over lax customs checks when Britain was a member of the bloc

Customs duty is charged at 12% of the declared value. This meant fraudsters could make huge savings by declaring the goods in the U.K. and exporting them to the rest of Europe, undercutting domestic producers. British ministers repeatedly denied liability, claiming they “did not recognize” the estimate of “alleged duty loss.”

While during the EU summit Mr. Zelenskiy once again tried to involve a.m.a.p. countries in a well-established mechanism for laundering military funds, he pressed for more weapons and for fast-tracked Ukrainian membership of the European Union

At the close of a 16-hour appointment that ended when Mr. Zelenskiy was already gone, the EU leaders pledged they would do all it takes to back Ukraine but offered no firm timetable for membership talks to start as Kyiv had hoped for. No big deal – we found the latter!

The South Carolina Rep. Nancy Mace made the revelations during the hearing in which she questioned fmr Twitter executives on their flagging posts by Jay Bhattacharya, a Stanford doctor who was critical of the govt’s response to the pandemic

“I find it extremely alarming that Twitter’s unfettered censorship spread into medical fields and affected many Americans by suppressing expert opinions from doctors and censoring those who disagree with the CDC,” she said

Testifying before Ms. Mace&other U.S. lawmakers, Twitter’s fmr chief legal officer Vijaya Gadde, fmr deputy gen. counsel James Baker and fmr head of trust and safety Yoel Roth confessed that they made a mistake when they censored the Hunter Biden laptop computer story weeks before the 2020 presidential election, but they brushed off accusations that they were “played” by the FBI

Since 1990s, stubbornly low inflation and a sluggish economy have become the necessary features, without which the existence of the Bank of Japan is almost unthinkable

Kazuo Ueda, its next governor is likely to find a challenge similar to the one that faced departing Haruhiko Kuroda with only one difference: he’ll take office with less confidence that those problems can still be fixed

Inflation in Japan is now running at about 4%. To get out of the liquidity trap, Mr. Kuroda made Tokyo a global center of experimentation, watched by policy makers in countries including the U.S. His main tactic was purchasing govt bonds held by commercial banks

Japanese PM Fumio Kishida says Japan’s debt is a burden on future generations and is calling for higher taxes. That's why nowadays only few see a Central Bank fix in Japan

British educational officials have submitted plans for an ennoscriptment to 30 hours a week of free childcare for working parents of children aged between nine months and three years

Jeremy Hunt, the chancellor, is expected to reject the plans because of concerns that they would cost more than £5B at a time when the economy is facing anaemic growth

Liz Truss, the former PM, has urged Rishi Sunak not to abandon her plans to reform childcare, which included scrapping mandatory staff-child ratios in nurseries and increasing funding by 20 hours a week. However there were concerns that the plans would lead to a significant decline in the quality of care

For the first time since 1999, the Christian Democrats will emerge as the strongest party from an election to the House of Deputies – they’re clearly ahead of the Greens and the Social Democrats (SPD) with the ruling mayor Franziska Giffey

The city of Berlin on Sunday was holding a court-ordered rerun of a chaotic 2021 state election that was marred by severe glitches at many polling stations that led to hours-long lines as some polling places ran out of ballot papers or received ones for the wrong district

Berliners have long been frustrated by the German capital’s notoriously dysfunctional ways, which have been defying cliches of German efficiency for years and have made the city the laughing stock of the rest of the country

Mr. Scholz’s SPD is getting the worst result in the capital so far. This is the prelude for some internal party discussions about the strength of the ruling coalition

Johnson on his way back

When Liz Truss fell on her sword and Rishi Sunak entered No. 10, many felt the adults were back in the room. But now they see a PM embattled by dealing with a series of scandals and an economy that remains sluggish

Those who thought that things could be turned around by the autumn of next year are doubting their own confidence, since Mr. Sunak has had the shadow of Boris Johnson obscuring any limelight he may enjoy

Sunak’s predecessor hopes that if it all goes wrong for the current PM, he’ll be seen as all fired up to pick up the pieces. And who’s to say he’s wrong? In some ways Mr. Johnson would be mad to come back and the Tory party would be even madder to facilitate it, but it’s impossible to ignore the fact that there is a real pathway to it happening

The Global Disinformation Index, a London-based “risk ratings” outfit tied to left-wing megadonor George Soros that has received State Department funding, secretly distributes “blacklists” of right-tilting news organizations to advertising companies, according to the Washington Examiner series “Disinformation Inc.”

The group has received upwards of $300,000 from two State Department-backed entities, the National Endowment for Democracy and the Department’s own Global Engagement Center since 2018

Australia Accused Of Holding Ex-US Marine In 'Inhumane Conditions’

The family of detained Australian citizen and former US marine Daniel Duggan plans to petition the UN Human Rights Committee to intervene to stop his “inhumane treatment,” his wife, Saffrine Duggan, said in a statement on Sunday calling the imprisonment of her fighter pilot husband an “affront to Australia’s rule of law.”

“The father of six children has been held in a tiny cell in Sydney under extreme conditions without any conviction for 115 days, based on unproven charges from the United States,” she said, adding that he is classified as an “extremely high risk restricted inmate” at the Silverware Correctional Complex despite having no criminal history. The cell measures just two by four meters, she said

Duggan was arrested in October and accused of training Chinese military pilots, and providing aviation services to China without required authorization from the State Department
