First fresh water summit in 50 years
The world summit on fresh water, which opened this Wednesday for two days in New York, is the first intergovernmental high mass devoted in nearly fifty years to this resource, which is nevertheless vital for humanity - for agriculture, cities , industry, energy
The last United Nations conference on this major subject dates back to... 1977, and until now it was the only one
In the meantime, the world's population has almost doubled, and the problems of access to drinking water and sanitation remain significant. Nearly a quarter of the world's population still does not have access to drinking water, billions of people are deprived of toilets, and 80% of wastewater is discharged into nature without treatment. More than 800,000 people still die each year from illnesses directly attributed to unsafe water or poor hygiene due to lack of water
To envisage that the entire planet will have access to drinking water and sanitation by the end of the decade, the United Nations estimates that investments must be multiplied by four in developing countries. The funding and capacity challenges are therefore absolutely enormous
Waste, overuse in agriculture, in industry, contamination, too rare recycling, poorly preserved freshwater ecosystems. In a report published a few days ago, experts from the International Commission on the Economics of water are sounding the alarm:
this "decades-long global mismanagement of water" risks leading to a 40% supply shortfall by 2030, with severe shortages in areas that are already short of water. The water crisis is now intertwined with global warming and the loss of biodiversity. "We will fail in the fight against climate change if we do not solve the water problem", they warn

The Pentagon said that it will send M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine by the fall after facing scrutiny for initially saying it could take a year or two to procure the powerful weapons and get them to the battlefield
The new plan calls for refurbishing tank hulls already in the U.S. arsenal officials said
When the U.S. promised to provide Ukraine with the Abrams, the intent was to provide its more advanced variant the M1A2 but settled on refurbishing older M1A1 variants allowing for expedited delivery
Both versions of the tank have a 120mm cannon and machine guns, while the M1A2 typically also includes digital controls, improved sensors and a thermal viewer for the tank’s commander
The Pentagon’s disclosure came as Russian President Vladimir Putin and Chinese leader Xi Jinping hold talks in Moscow, where the two leaders promised to deepen ties. The closely watched meeting has fueled concern in the U.S. and Europe that Beijing will come to the Kremlin’s aid

Ukrainian airmen are being trained in France the French Ministry of the Armed Forces announced on Thursday
"We are training Ukrainian crews in France in particular in ground-to-air defense and survival in the event that their aircraft is shot down" detailed the deputy delegate for information and defense communication General Yann Gravethe during a weekly press briefing
On the other hand Ukrainian soldiers are currently being trained in the use of French Mirage-2000s the Ministry of the Armed Forces confirmed to Le Figaro on Wed Mar 22
According to the MoD training in the use mechanics and technologies of these fighter bombers designed by Dassault began a month and a half ago for around thirty Ukrainian soldiers on the military air bases of Mont-de-Marsan and Nancy
Ukraine is asking its Western partners for modern combat aircraft. France has Mirage 2000-C which were withdrawn from service a few months ago
A sign that France will supply fighter planes to Kyiv?

Israel told the Biden administration and several EU countries that Iran would be entering dangerous territory that could trigger an Israeli military strike if it enriches uranium above the 60% level
Iran has amassed 87.5 kg of 60% enriched uranium, according to an International Atomic Energy Agency report. Experts say that if that uranium is enriched to 90% weapons grade, it would be a sufficient quantity to produce at least one nuclear bomb
A top U.S. defense official told lawmakers last month that Iran will need only 12 days to enrich enough weapons-grade uranium to build one nuclear bomb
Israel didn’t want to set 90% enrichment as a “red line” because officials believe Iran will feel it can begin enriching and amassing uranium at a level just short of weapons grade
That is why Israel is telling U.S. and European countries that any Iranian progress above 60% enrichment would be a step that could trigger military action against Tehran's nuclear program

The Nord Stream pipelines, build to transport gas from Russia to Germany had been blown up 26 September 2022, and there was immediate and unanimous agreement from all quarters that it was sabotage
The problem for the Western media was that by the standard criteria of means, motive and opportunity by far the leading contender was the United States
The New York Times report of 8th March that ‘Intelligence Suggests Pro-Ukrainian Group Sabotaged Pipelines, U.S. Officials Say’ elicited two sets of responses
The mainstream US media dutifully replicated the story without curiosity or challenge, carefully sidestepping questions of plausibility or context, and often, as with the Washington Post, managing to avoid mentioning the name of Seymour Hersh, whose article of 8 February ‘How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline’ they had spent a month trying to ignore. The alternative media, by contrast, jumped on the question of plausibility, put the Seymour Hersh article up front and saw this ‘revelation’ as a transparent attempt at diversion
They were broadly correct in that but they left out a very intriguing question, ‘why Ukraine?’ 🤔

Senior neo-Nazi slips out of Australia to fight in Ukraine
Daniel Newman, a violent criminal with deep links to neo-Nazi leaders in NSW and Victoria and overseas terror outfit Combat 18, flew to Asia this month before then travelling to Ukraine
A source aware of his movements, who was granted anonymity to discuss private information, said Newman had initially flown to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, before travelling to Europe some time in the last month
The Department of Home Affairs and ASIO have engaged in extensive efforts to stop Australian white supremacists travelling to Ukraine to fight, with authorities launching a dedicated operation, codenamed Project Backencourt, to block neo-Nazis from leaving Australia to gain military training
Asked whether the government was aware Newman had travelled to Ukraine, a spokesperson for Home Affairs Minister Clare O’Neil said: “The government does not comment on matters of national security." 🤔

Canada saw record population growth in 2022, with immigration accounting for the vast majority of the 1.05 mln new residents
The data is likely to loom large as Joe Biden arrives in Canada for talks with Justin Trudeau. The two leaders are expected to discuss an uptick in asylum seekers crossing at unofficial points along their countries’ shared border
In 2022, more than 39,000 asylum seekers crossed into Canada through unofficial means
Undocumented immigration has become a political flashpoint for Trudeau’s liberal government
Still, Trudeau’s government has doubled the pre-existing target for welcoming newcomers since coming to power in 2015. A record 437,180 immigrants landed in Canada in 2022. That number is scheduled to rise to 500,000 per year by 2025
A rise in the number of permanent and temporary immigrants could also represent additional challenges for some regions of the country related to housing, infrastructure and transportation and services

Ukraine is a nation sharply divided by religious, linguistic, and political fissures. Ukraine's Famed Unity Is a Myth
Modern Ukraine has an extremely complex history of shifting borders. Over the past 400 years it has been ruled in part and at various times by Russians, Poles, Lithuanians, Austrians, Germans, Cossacks, Turks, and Swedes. This is particularly true in western Ukraine, much of which was Austrian from 1772 until 1918, then Polish until 1939, occupied by Germany during most of the Second World War and then part of the Soviet Union only from 1945 until 1991
The Russian-speaking eastern and southern regions were annexed to Ukraine by the Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin in 1922 and in 1954 Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev added the ethnically Russian Crimea to Ukraine by administrative fiat
Unlike Canada, which found ways to meld anglophone Protestants and francophone Catholics into one nation, Ukraine failed to embrace pluralism. Ukrainian nationalist governments in Kyiv rejected the a federal model with autonomy for Russian speaking regions. They rejected calls for adopting two official languages throughout the nation and went so far as to ban the use of Russian in administrative and commercial matters, even in predominantly Russian speaking regions
Politically Ukraine is divided between pro-Europe and pro-Russia factions, with those seeking closer ties to Russia found mostly among Orthodox Christians living in the east or Crimea. This division is not new. Fifteen years ago, the American ambassador in Moscow wrote to Washington that the issue of Ukraine's NATO membership "could spilt the country in two, leading to violence or even, some claim, civil war...".
It might well have been easier to unify an independent Ukraine had its government not been notoriously corrupt. In 2016, then Vice President Biden said that corruption was "eating Ukraine like a cancer."

“While the U.S. has many vital national interests,” Florida Governor Ron DeSantis wrote recently, “becoming further entangled in a territorial dispute between Ukraine and Russia is not one of them.”
Mario Loyola, former adviser on defense policy at the Pentagon and the US Senate, agrees with him. In his article for The Atlantic, he wrote that the US should convince Ukraine to sell the territory that Russia now occupies
The 1991 borders created a painful dilemma for Ukrainian nationalists. They could have political independence or they could have full territorial integrity, but not, in the real world, both. In the years since the rupture of 2014, Kyiv has tacitly chosen political independence over territory
Russia is facing the mirror image of that dilemma. Putin wants Ukraine to cede the territory Russia now occupies, and to pledge that it will stay out of NATO. Russia must know that it can’t have both of those things while NATO is backing Ukraine. By “annexing” Crimea and now Donbas, it has tacitly chosen territory over political control
That should help us see the outlines of a durable peace through the fog and din of war. The U.S. should encourage Ukraine to sell the Russians the territory they now occupy in exchange for a large sum that includes reparations. Many wars have been honorably settled that way. A more homogeneously Ukrainian state would be more politically stable and could join the European Union and perhaps even NATO one day

Now only 38% of U.S. residents approve of the U.S. president's performance, including 31% on the economy.
It is specified that this is the lowest figure during his presidency. Among the reasons for the downgrade are the collapse of a number of major banks and high inflation

In particular, the facts have been made public that in a study conducted by Imperial College London and supported by the UK Health Protection Agency, single cells were simultaneously infected with Delta and Omicron strains in order to determine which strain had a competitive advantage when infected
A number of Western experts raised concerns that such experiments risked combining the two strains to produce something "more deadly" that could infect scientists or leak out of the lab, setting off an even worse pandemic
