EU to face 'infinitely' higher energy pricesbecause of sanctions - banker
Philippe Villin has urged the bloc to rethink its approach to the restrictions levied against Moscow over the Ukraine conflict
The EU rushed to back Ukraine without asking its businesses or citizens for permission and now the European economy is suffering the most from the anti-Russia sanctions, French investment banker Philippe Villin has said.
European politicians and bureaucrats in Brussels threw their support behind Ukraine "without a democratic debate," Villin wrote in an op-ed published by Le Figaro on Monday.
"What is worse, they did not even consider it useful to consult with us about the military escalation, or the terrible consequences of the sanctions for our economies," he said.
Villin stressed that the world economy had already been crippled by the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as tension between China and Taiwan, who are both vital to the global supply chain. The current crisis also spurred inflation, including energy price hikes and the risk of shortages.
"And the worst thing is that Europe is suffering from the increase of the prices of energy and raw materials far more than the United States or China," Villin wrote.
The fact is that, as a consequence of the sanctions, energy prices will be infinitely higher in Europe than anywhere else.
The banker added that businesses would "lose huge shares of the market" and be forced to cut jobs if the crisis escalated.
"I hope that, before our people eventually revolt, a quick electric shock will open up a political debate, in which we, citizens and business leaders, could challenge our blind politicians and Eurocrats, who are leading us to ruin by lying to us."
Many countries, including EU members, imposed sweeping sanctions on Russia after Moscow launched a military campaign against Ukraine in late February.
On Thursday, Russian gas giant Gazprom resumed the flow of gas to Germany through the Nord Stream 1 Baltic Sea pipeline following a 10-day shutdown for maintenance. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen had previously urged EU nations to cut the use of gas by 15% between August and June in case Moscow decided to end deliveries.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) warned on Tuesday that Germany, the EU's chief economic powerhouse, risks losing almost 5% of its GDP if Russia completely shuts off its gas supply.

EU should abandon national vetoes - German chancellor
Olaf Scholz insists it's the only way for the bloc to maintain a leading role in global politics
If the European Union hopes to compete in global politics, it can no longer afford to allow individual member states to veto the bloc's actions, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said in an article published by the Frankfurter Allgemeine newspaper on Sunday.
Arguing that the EU should become a geopolitical actor, the German leader highlighted the importance of unity in Europe in light of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. He insisted it was time to put an end to the "selfish blockades" of EU decisions by individual members.
"We simply can no longer afford national vetoes, for example in foreign policy, if we want to continue to be heard in a world of competing great powers," he wrote.
Under current EU rules, any policy decisions within the bloc must be approved by all 27 member states. However, after countries likeHungary and Slovakia held up the implementation of the EU's sixth sanctions packageagainst Russia due to energy concerns, some have called for the bloc's principle of unanimity to be abandoned.
Last month, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told Politico that the union should ditch the unanimity requirement in matters of foreign policy and should move to qualified majority voting. She noted that "the speed at which things happen" was too slow and that it was important for the "European voice" to be heard and seen without one single member being able to block it.
In his article, Scholz also stated that the EU had been weakened by "permanent disunity" and "permanent dissent between member states," claiming that unity was Europe's most important response to the "change of times."
He suggested that one of the ways unity across Europe and other democratic countries could be achieved wasif Germany "assumes responsibility for Europe and the worldin these difficult times." WTF
Scholz noted that Germany could bring together "East and West, North and South in Europe" since it was located in the middle of the continent and was a country that "lay on both sides of the Iron Curtain."
The chancellor added that it was important to "close our ranks" in all areas in which Europe has been struggling, such as migration policy, European defense, technological sovereignty, and "democratic resilience."

'Outrageous': EU Commission Found Guilty for Refusing to Release Texts with COVID Vaxx Boss - Ombudsman
The European Commission is guilty of "maladministration" for its refusal to release text messages sent between the EU President and the head of vaxx company Pfizer, the bloc's ombudsman has found.
A failure on the end of the European Commission to release text messages sent between President Ursula von der Leyen and the head of Pfizer constitutes "maladministration", the bloc's own ombudsman has found.
The commission had previously rebuffed any suggestion that it was obliged to release correspondence between the two leaders, despite MEPs calling on the Commission President to resign over the scandal after the ombudsman initially found EU tsars guilty of wrongdoing.
However, despite protests from EU bigwigs, the bloc's ombudsman has now doubled down on its initial decision, saying that the whole scandal represented a wake-up call on the issue of accountability within Europe.
"One year after the initial request by a journalist, the Commission has still not clarified whether messages reported to concern major vaccine procurement deals exist and whether the public is entitled to see them," a press release by the organisation released on Thursday read.
However, while the ombudsman has ruled against the Commission, questions still remain as to what good such a ruling it is not backed up with consequences, with Romanian MEP Cristian Terhes slamming Europe for its lack of accountability.
"Ursula von der Leyen's cabinet has been found responsible for maladministration but there have not been any practical consequences. All the unelected bureaucrats keep their job, while von der Leyen remains unaccountable for her acts, behaving with blatant transparency deficit," the elected representative told Breitbart Europe.
"It's outrageous that von der Leyen and her bureaucrats are lecturing EU member states on rule of law, while they despise any sense of transparency and accountability," he continued. "To save Europe the Europeans must vote out of office all the politicians and parties who are supporting these autocrats."
"At the end of the day, they are in those high offices to serve the people, not that the people would serve them," the European Conservatives and Reformists Group member went on to say.
The issue of transparency, or more specifically, a significant lack of it, has become a central issue in regard to the EU's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, with elected officials in Brussels repeated complaining of how little the bloc revealed in regards to its dealings with vaccine companies.
"Is this the kind of Europe that we want? Where an unelected by the people president of the European Commission is 'negotiating' - personally - with the head of a private company that will affect our basic fundamental human rights?" Terhes himself previously asked during a press conference on the issue, at which he showed off a contract between the EU and a vaccine manufacturer that was released with so many redactions that the majority of text on many pages was completely blacked out.
"This is the great transparency of the European Union," he said, holding the pages up to those present, before saying that the bloc was in a "deep crisis" over a lack of transparency.
Another MEP, Ivan Vilibor Sin?i? of Croatia, meanwhile emphasised that Europe had found itself in a "pandemic of corruption".

NATO, EU to deepen relation, Ukraine not the focus
Since 2021, NATO and EU leaders continue to work on a joint agreement that was set to be signed, but no such signature has been reported or relevant contents have been disclosed until today. Today, July 13th, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced that EU leaders and NATO have agreed to work on a new agreement to deepen their cooperation.
"Now, [European Commission President Ursula] von der Leyen and [European Council President Charles] Michel and I have agreed that we should look into the third declaration [on NATO-EU cooperation]. I'm not able to tell you exactly when we will be able to have the third declaration, but it is something which is now supported by both two EU presidents and me, so we will start to work on that as soon as possible," Stoltenberg said during a session of the European Parliament Committee on Foreign Affairs.
During the meeting, Stoltenberg also stated that while NATO remained focused on assisting Ukraine with weapons, it is not focused on its accession to the alliance.
"The main focus now on Ukraine is to provide support to help Ukraine to prevail as an independent and sovereign nation, and that's the main focus. The focus is not on membership now," he said.
Earlier on June 29th, NATO leaders in Madrid labeled Russia a threat to their security during the summit, with alliance's chief Jens Stoltenberg saying that NATO will "state clearly that Russia poses a direct threat to our security," as the alliance seeks to upgrade its defense response, by strengthening its eastern flank, given the ongoing war in Ukraine.
In parallel, the EU has been enforcing sanctions on Russia since the beginning of its operation in Ukraine. Lately in this respect were the sanctions on Kaliningrad. However, earlier today July 13, the European Union and Russia reached an agreement on the transit of goods to Kaliningrad, according to the Russian newspaper Izvestia, citing high-ranking Russian sources, who added that Brussels provided a document that "completely satisfied" Moscow.
The same source said, as quoted by the newspaper, that "this document says that it is impossible to restrict the transit of goods between the subjects of the Russian Federation. That is, all goods going to the region will be withdrawn as an exception from the sanctions lists. We are talking about both railway and road transit."
The EU and Lithuania have been coordinating the final document for several weeks, according to the source.
Prior to that, on May 30th, the US-led alliance's deputy Secretary-General Mircea Geoana told AFP NATO is no longer bound by past commitments to hold back from deploying its forces in eastern Europe.
Speaking in the Lithuanian capital, Vilnius, Geoana claimed that Moscow has "voided of any content" of the NATO-Russia Founding Act, through its war with Ukraine and halting dialogue with the alliance.

France, Germany, Italy, and Romania back EU candidacy for Ukraine
France, Germany, Italy, and Romania all support Ukraine getting "immediate" formal candidate status to join the European Union, French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday in Kiev.
During a joint press conference with Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Italian Premier Mario Draghi, and Romanian leader Klaus Iohannis, Macron assured that "All four of us support the status of immediate candidate for accession."
Ukraine applied for the EU membership on February 28, shortly after Russia launched its military operation. It was followed by Georgia and Moldova, which decided to fast-track submission of their applications and similarly received the EU questionnaire in mid-April.
Last month, EU executives had reviewed Ukraine's accession bid in record time; cutting the process from months to weeks. This cut was defended by the chief spokesperson of the European Commission, Eric Mamer.
Russian President Vladimir Putin had warned Ukraine against joining the European Union and NATO as Kiev aspired to obtain membership in both after the Ukraine war broke out.
Austria's EU Affairs Minister Karoline Edtstadler has predicted that the process will take more than a decade.
Even if approved, the candidacy is expected to be subject to strict conditions.
"This status will be accompanied by a roadmap and will also involve taking into account the situation in the Balkans and the neighboring area, notably Moldova," Macron stated.
France has the EU's rotating presidency until the end of this month.
On a surprise visit to Kiev on June 11, EU leader Ursula von der Leyen said the commission will deliver a clear signal this week on Ukraine's ambition to become a candidate.
Paris sending 6 more Caesar howitzers to Ukraine
Macron also announced that France would send an additional 6 Caesar long-range self-propelled howitzers to Ukraine to help it counter the Russian forces.
"On top of the 12 Caesars already delivered, I took the decision (to deliver) in the coming weeks six additional Caesars," Macron stated.
Macron assured Zelensky that "Europe is at your side. It will stay so until it needs to, until victory."
Earlier, on a visit to the war-torn Kiev district of Irpin, he urged Ukraine must "resist and win."
Caesars are highly acclaimed for their accuracy and are manufactured by Nexter, a partially state-owned armaments manufacturer in France.
Ukraine showcased the weapon to media, including AFP, earlier this week, as the country called for additional Western armaments to oppose Moscow.

In any case, [Tokarczuk] is unquestionably an icon of the left-wingers. Poland's leading leftist newspaper, the George Soros funded Gazeta Wyborcza, made a miserable martyr out of her just because some Polish patriots had dared to disagree with her.

MDIF, which is funded among others by Soros's Open Society Foundations, has also invested in Poland's Radio Zet and Agora. The latter owns Gazeta Wyborcza, Poland's leading non-tabloid daily and a strong critic of the current national-conservative government.

Tokarczuk is a leftist, an atheist, and a feminist.
Her father was a member of the [Polish United Workers' Party].
In 2020, she was one of the signatories alongside other prominent writers such as Margaret Atwood, John Banville and John Maxwell Coetzee of an open letter addressed to the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, urging the European Union to "to take immediate steps to defend core European values - equality, non-discrimination, respect for minorities - which are being blatantly violated in Poland" and appealing to the Polish government to stop targeting sexual minorities and to withdraw support from organizations promoting homophobia

The [Polish United Workers' Party], commonly abbreviated to PZPR, was the communist party which ruled the Polish People's Republic as a one-party state from 1948 to 1990.

G-7 Unveils $600 Billion Plan to Counter China's Belt and Road
SCHLOSS ELMAU, Germany-Group of Seven leaders (G-7) on Sunday pledged to raise $600 billion in private and public funds over five years to finance needed infrastructure in developing countries and counter the Chinese regime's Belt and Road project.
U.S. President Joe Biden and other G-7 leaders relaunched the newly renamed "Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment," at their annual gathering being held this year at Schloss Elmau in southern Germany.
Biden said the United States would mobilize $200 billion in grants, federal funds, and private investment over five years to boost infrastructure development in lower- and middle-income nations.
The United States says the G-7 backed effort promotes responsible investments that aim to benefit the communities they are made in.
"I want to be clear. This isn't aid or charity. It's an investment that will deliver returns for everyone," Biden said, adding that it would allow countries to "see the concrete benefits of partnering with democracies."
Biden said hundreds of billions of additional dollars could come from multilateral development banks, development finance institutions, sovereign wealth funds, and others.
Europe will mobilize 300 billion euros for the initiative over the same period to build up a sustainable alternative to the Chinese regime's Belt and Road Initiative scheme, which Chinese leader Xi Jinping launched in 2013, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told the gathering.
The leaders of Italy, Canada and Japan also spoke about their plans, some of which have already been announced separately. French President Emmanuel Macron and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson were not present, but their countries are also participating.
The Chinese communist regime's Belt and Road scheme involves development and programs in over 100 countries.
White House officials said the plan has provided little tangible benefit for many developing countries. Western officials have long argued that the Belt and Road Initiative traps receiving countries in debt and with investments that benefit the Chinese regime more than their hosts.
Biden highlighted several flagship projects, including a $2 billion solar development project in Angola with support from the Commerce Department, the U.S. Export-Import Bank, U.S. firm AfricaGlobal Schaffer, and U.S. project developer Sun Africa.

G7 touts $600 bn global infrastructure plan to rival China
The G7 group announced on Sunday a $600 billion effort to compete with China's formidable Belt and Road Initiative by funding global infrastructure projects in developing countries.
The Partnership for Global Infrastructure and Investment, unveiled with fanfare by US President Joe Biden and G7 allies from Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan, and the European Union, aims to fill a massive gap left as China uses its economic power to extend the circle of its international relations across the globe.
Biden stated that the United States would contribute $200 billion, with the rest of the G7 contributing another $400 billion by 2027. According to Biden, funding projects that China currently dominates, such as roads and harbors in far-flung corners of the world, is not "aid or charity," he claimed.
He claimed that the plan has "geostrategic thinking," saying such projects "deliver returns for everyone, including the people of all our nations."
The role of China's "democratic" rivals around the world is "a chance for us to share our positive vision for the future," he said, and for other countries to "see for themselves the concrete benefits of partnering with democracies."
Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, agreed with the US president, saying, "It is up to us to give the world a positive, powerful investment impulse, to show our partners in the developing world that they have a choice."
Although China was not mentioned by name, the rivalry loomed large over the leaders' presentation, which was a relaunch of Biden's original proposal for a Western infrastructure fund at last year's G7 summit in Britain.
Unlike China's state-run BRI initiative, proposed G7 funding is contingent on private companies' willingness to commit to large investments and is thus not guaranteed. However, according to US officials, this is a good thing.
According to US officials, recipient countries will be able to avoid the alleged "debt traps" and other "Chinese tactics" in this capitalist vs. communist scenario.

EU has solution for blockade of Russia's Kaliningrad - MEP
Brussels is preparing a document allowing goods to enter the Russian exclave, MEP Petras Austrevicius has claimed
European Union officials have drafted a document that would allow the transit of sanctioned goods between Russia and its European exclave, Kaliningrad, Lithuanian MEP Petras Asutrevicius claimed on Saturday. Lithuania has banned the flow of certain goods in and out of Kaliningrad, claiming that it is enforcing EU sanctions. Russia has termed the move an "economic blockade" and threatened a "negative" response.
The document was circulated during meetings in Brussels earlier this week, Austrevicius wrote in a Facebook post. According to the Lithuanian MEP, it would permit the transit of sanctioned goods "from Russia to Russia," with these goods passing through Lithuanian territory.
Austrevicius said that Lithuania's position is "uncompromising," and that if the document is adopted as policy,"Lithuania would remain alone without formal EU coverage."
With the document set to be published next week, Austrevicius said that himself and several other anti-Russian MEPs have written to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, calling the proposed revision to the sanctions regime "unacceptable."
Austrevicius' Facebook post came a day after Josep Borrell, the EU's top diplomat, said that Brussels will "review" its sanctions policy to avoid blocking traffic between Russia and Kaliningrad.
Lithuania's national railway operator banned the flow of sanctioned goods between the region and mainland Russia last weekend, citing sanctions guidelines from the European Commission. The restrictions, expected to affect roughly 50% of cargo flow between the exclave and mainland Russia, have already hit road traffic as well, according to Kaliningrad officials.
Moscow has called the restrictions "unprecedented" and "illegal," and the head of Russia's National Security Council, Nikolay Patrushev, has promised retaliatory steps that would "have a serious negative impact on the people of Lithuania."
Ahead of the document's publication, Austrevicius lamented the "mood of capitulation" in Europe and said"it looks like Russia is winning at the moment."

Q Research General #20852: Tuesday Morning Melania Edition
>>16482569
Wathion assumes the FDA (and the MHRA's) EUA would be issued before the EMA granted its own CMA, which turned out to be correct. What's interesting is his concern to address the 'damage limitation' resulting from the probable outcome of the EMA finishing last in this regulatory race and his fear that this would result in public opinion and the media turning against the agency. Speed seemingly superseded concerns of quality based on a careful review of these emails.
In a November 19 email, Wathion reveals a 'rather tense' TC (teleconference call) with the European Commissioner (Ursula von der Leyen) which was 'at times even a bit unpleasant.' This reflects the mounting pressure which the EMA staff were under to issue CMA quickly following an EUA granted by the FDA/MHRA for the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine. von der Leyen is implicated in potentially being responsible for this tense environment with 'a delay of several weeks…not easily acceptable for the EC [European Commission].'
In early 2022, Trial Sites News reported how von der Leyen was embroiled in scandal when a group of independent MEPs demanded her immediate resignation and full disclosure of a series of private text messages between her and Pfizer's CEO, Albert Bourla. Only a small portion of these texts were ever disclosed. Of the ones that were, they revealed her negotiating portions of a European-wide vaccine deal, unilaterally with Bourla via a series of texts! Clearly standard protocols in Europe were thrown out the window in favor of expediency and this seemingly was tied to a unified competitive pressure on all three regulatory agencies.
Wathion lays bare his reflections after this particular TC, and shockingly writes how 'the political fall-out seems to be too high even if the "technical" level at the MSs [Member States] could defend such a delay in order to make the outcome of the scientific review as robust as possible.' Put another way the continuous broadcast of science first appeared as a cover for politics first.

European Commission Greenlights Ukraine on Path to Membership But Highlights Concerns
The European Union's executive arm on Friday recommended making Ukraine a candidate for EU membership, a morale booster and a first step on what is expected to be a long road for the war-torn country to join the 27-nation bloc.
If Ukrainians were under any illusion that the European Commission's positive assessment would mean fast-track EU membership, their hopes of quickly joining the club were dashed.
"Starting accession negotiations is further down the line," said Oliv?r V?rhelyi, the EU Commissioner for the bloc's enlargement. "Once conditions are met, then we will have to come back and reflect on it ... This is not for today."
The European Commission delivered its proposal to award Ukraine candidate status after an analysis of answers to a detailed questionnaire. The Ukrainian government applied for EU membership days after Russia invaded the country on Feb. 24.
"Ukrainians are ready to die for the European perspective," commission President Ursula von der Leyen said - wearing clothes in the yellow and blue of the Ukrainian flag. "We want them to live, with us, the European dream."

Q Research General #20826: Previous World Order Won't Return Edition
>>16462491
The Russian president has long framed his decision to launch an invasion of Ukraine as a response to Kyiv's growing diplomatic and security ties with the West. Last week, he hinted that his aim in Ukraine is the restoration of Russia as an imperial power.
Putin claims Russia 'forced' into the conflict in Ukraine
Speaking about his war on Ukraine on Friday, Putin went straight to his propaganda playbook, claiming Russia was "forced" into the conflict.
He called the invasion "the decision of a sovereign country that has an unconditional right … to defend its security."
"A decision aimed at protecting our citizens, residents of the People's Republics of Donbas, who for eight years were subjected to genocide by the Kyiv regime and neo-Nazis who received the full protection of the West," he said.
The two areas the self-declared Donetsk People's Republic (DNR) and Luhansk People's Republic (LNR) fell under the control of Russia-backed separatists in 2014.
War in Ukraine reaches pivotal moment that could determine long-term outcome, intelligence officials say
The Kremlin has accused Ukrainian authorities of discriminating against ethnic Russians and Russian speakers in the regions, a charge Kyiv has denied. Starting 2019, Russian passports were offered to the residents of the two entities.
Finally, in late February, Putin announced he would recognize them as independent, a move that was seen as the opening salvo of the war.
He said on Friday that Russian soldiers and the separatists were "fighting to defend their people" in the Donbas and the right to "reject any attempt to impose pseudo values of dehumanization and moral degradation from outside."
No country other than Russia recognizes the two as independent. Ukraine and the rest of the international community considers the territories to be under Russian occupation.
The European Commission announced Friday that it was recommending Ukraine and neighboring Moldova as EU candidate states, with the commission's chief Ursula von der Leyen saying that Ukrainians are "ready to die" for the European perspective.
Speaking about the European Union on Friday, Putin said the bloc had "lost its sovereignty."
"The European Union has fully lost its sovereignty, and its elites are dancing to someone else's tune, harming their own population. Europeans' and European businesses' real interests are totally ignored and swept aside," he said.

Putin lambasts the West and declares the end of 'the era of the unipolar world'
(CNN)Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared the end of "the era of the unipolar world" in a combative speech that lambasted Western countries at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on Friday.
"When they won the Cold War, the US declared themselves God's own representatives on earth, people who have no responsibilities – only interests. They have declared those interests sacred. Now it's one-way traffic, which makes the world unstable," Putin told the audience.
The much-hyped speech was delayed by more than 90 minutes because of a "massive" cyberattack. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told journalists in an impromptu conference call that the speech was postponed due to distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks on the conference's systems.
It was not immediately clear who was behind the attack. Ukrainian IT Army, a hacker collective, named the St. Petersburg Forum as a target earlier this week on its Telegram channel.
Restoration of empire is the endgame for Russia's Vladimir Putin
Putin's address at the annual conference, one of his more substantial speeches since he ordered the invasion of Ukraine almost four months ago, was seen as an opportunity for the world to get some insight into his thinking.
Once the Russian president took the stage in the western Russian city, he wasted no time on pleasantries and went straight into attacks on the United States and its allies.
"They live in the past on their own under their own delusions … They think that … they have won and then everything else is a colony, a back yard. And the people living there are second-class citizens," he said, adding that Russia's "special operation" the phrase the Russian government uses to describe its war on Ukraine has become a "lifesaver for the West to blame all the problems on Russia."
After accusing western countries of blaming their problems on Russia, Putin tried to pin the blame for rising food prices on the "US administration and the Euro bureaucracy."
Ukraine is a major food producer, but the Russian invasion has affected its entire production and supply chain. The United Nations has said the war has had a devastating impact on supplies and prices and warned it could push up to 49 million more people into famine or famine-like conditions.
Why Russia is being accused of using food as a weapon of war
European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said last week that food has become part of the Kremlin's "arsenal of terror."
Ukrainian officials have accused Russia of stealing Ukrainian grain, accusations that appear to have been confirmed by satellite images showing Russian ships being loaded with Ukrainian grain. On top of that, Russia is blocking maritime access to the Black Sea ports held by Ukraine, meaning that even the grain that is still under Ukrainian control cannot be exported to the many countries that rely on it.
Russian President Vladimir Putin delivers a speech during a session of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum in St. Petersburg on June 17, 2022.
The long-time Russian leader also blamed the West for trying to hurt the Russian economy, calling the sanctions on Moscow "crazy" and "reckless."
"Their intention is clear to crush the Russian economy by breaking down the chain the logistical chains, freezing national assets and attacking the living standards, but they were not successful," he added. "It has not worked out. Russian business people have rallied together working diligently, conscientiously, and step-by-step, we are normalizing the economic situation."'

Q Research General #20819: Fauci and co asking for moar money for covid from 2023 budget
https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/france-germany-italy-and-romania-back-eu-candidacy-for-ukrai
France, Germany, Italy, and Romania back EU candidacy for Ukraine
France, Germany, Italy, and Romania all support Ukraine getting "immediate" formal candidate status to join the European Union, French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday in Kiev.
During a joint press conference with Germany's Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Italian Premier Mario Draghi, and Romanian leader Klaus Iohannis, Macron assured that "All four of us support the status of immediate candidate for accession."
Ukraine applied for the EU membership on February 28, shortly after Russia launched its military operation. It was followed by Georgia and Moldova, which decided to fast-track submission of their applications and similarly received the EU questionnaire in mid-April.
Last month, EU executives had reviewed Ukraine's accession bid in record time; cutting the process from months to weeks. This cut was defended by the chief spokesperson of the European Commission, Eric Mamer.
Russian President Vladimir Putin had warned Ukraine against joining the European Union and NATO as Kiev aspired to obtain membership in both after the Ukraine war broke out.
Austria's EU Affairs Minister Karoline Edtstadler has predicted that the process will take more than a decade.
Even if approved, the candidacy is expected to be subject to strict conditions.
"This status will be accompanied by a roadmap and will also involve taking into account the situation in the Balkans and the neighboring area, notably Moldova," Macron stated.
France has the EU's rotating presidency until the end of this month.
On a surprise visit to Kiev on June 11, EU leader Ursula von der Leyen said the commission will deliver a clear signal this week on Ukraine's ambition to become a candidate.
Paris sending 6 more Caesar howitzers to Ukraine
Macron also announced that France would send an additional 6 Caesar long-range self-propelled howitzers to Ukraine to help it counter the Russian forces.
"On top of the 12 Caesars already delivered, I took the decision (to deliver) in the coming weeks six additional Caesars," Macron stated.
Macron assured Zelensky that "Europe is at your side. It will stay so until it needs to, until victory."
Earlier, on a visit to the war-torn Kiev district of Irpin, he urged Ukraine must "resist and win."
Caesars are highly acclaimed for their accuracy and are manufactured by Nexter, a partially state-owned armaments manufacturer in France.
Ukraine showcased the weapon to media, including AFP, earlier this week, as the country called for additional Western armaments to oppose Moscow.

https://english.almayadeen.net/news/politics/macron-scholz-draghi-visit-ukraine-to-meet-with-zelensky
Macron, Scholz, Draghi visit Ukraine to meet with Zelensky
European leaders from France, Germany, and Italy traveled by train to Kiev Wednesday overnight and arrived on Thursday morning. French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, and Italy's PM Mario Draghi sought to express and validate their support for Ukraine.
The three leaders of the top EU economies arrived in Kiev for the first time since the Russian special military operation in Ukraine began. Scholz and Macron, the leaders of the largest economies, have been criticized for not visiting Ukraine yet.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky will discuss with the three leaders sensitive topics including Ukraine's bid to join the EU.
Earlier on Wednesday, Macron visited a NATO base in Romania where approximately 500 French troops are deployed. During his visit, the French President stated that "we are at a time when we, the European Union, need to send clear political signals to Ukraine and the Ukrainian people in a context where they have been resisting heroically for several months."
Despite their different perspectives, all three countries are in support of Ukraine joining the EU. A response to the candidacy of Ukraine to the EU is expected to unravel during the European summit on 23-24 June. If successful, this will start a negotiation process to become a bona fide member state, which may take several years.
France's Europe minister, Clement Beaune, reportedly said Ukraine's EU membership was "15 or 20 years" away from being realized.
"We have to be honest. If you say Ukraine is going to join the EU in six months, or a year or two, you're lying," Beaune said, speaking to a local radio station. "It's probably in 15 or 20 years, it takes a long time."
French President Emmanuel Macron had earlier voiced his aspiration to create a European political community to ensure Ukraine could join the 27-nation bloc later on. However, Zelensky dismissed the move, asking to join the European Union.
The European Commission's chief, Ursula von der Leyen, said Sunday that once the war in Ukraine is over, the EU will support Ukraine's efforts to rebuild.
von der Leyen said in an interview on CNN that Kiev belonged in Europe, and the EU will support Ukraine's bid for membership, adding that its accession to the Union might be viewed as an extraordinary case.
Usually, it takes a country wishing to join the EU years in order to cross obstacles preventing its accession, von der Leyen admitted. She had traveled on Friday to meet Volodymyr Zelensky a membership questionnaire in order to launch the process of Ukraine's accession.
von der Leyen promised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that Ukraine's accession to the European Union would be expedited.

EU, Egypt, "Israel" to sign memo on LNG supplies on Wednesday
The European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that the European Union, Egypt, and "Israel" will sign a trilateral memorandum on Wednesday to increase gas supplies from "Israel" to Europe via Egypt.
"It is for us very important and I am very grateful that we are now discussing this fascinating project that you are willing to increase the deliveries of gas to the EU via Egypt and tomorrow we will already take a very big step with the signing of a trilateral memorandum of understanding between "Israel," the EU, and Egypt," von der Leyen said during a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett in Al-Quds.
The agreement is part of the EU's effort to reduce its reliance on Russia and secure its energy supplies from elsewhere.
Yesterday, it was announced that von der Leyen and Prime Minister of Italy Mario Draghi were scheduled to visit the Israeli occupation on Monday as the EU seeks to reduce its reliance on Russian fossil fuel imports.
Both leaders were scheduled to hold energy talks in "Israel", which has transitioned from a natural gas importer to an exporter in recent years due to large offshore discoveries.
von der Leyen was to meet Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid on Monday and Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Tuesday, with talks projected to focus "in particular on energy cooperation," a commission statement read.
Mario Draghi, who is on his first Middle East trip since taking office last year, will also discuss energy and food security during his two-day trip, according to Italian media.

Blasting Russian 'blackmail,' EU chief calls for more energy cooperation with Israel
Ursula von der Leyen hails friendship with Jerusalem, says East Med pipeline an investment in both Europe's and Israel's energy security
Israel and Europe are natural partners because of their democratic values and shared past, European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said Tuesday morning in a speech at Ben-Gurion University in Beersheba.
"Europe and Israel are bound to be friends and allies," said von der Leyen. "Because the history of Europe is the history of the Jewish people."
The German politician, who has headed the European Union's executive arm since 2019, spoke after being granted an honorary doctorate from the university.
"The strongest bond we share is our belief in democracy and in democratic values," she said, praising the legacy and vision of Israel's first prime minister, David Ben-Gurion.
von der Leyen added that she, as a young girl, had been inspired by Golda Meir, who served as Israel's prime minister from 1969 to 1974.
"Democracy has strengthened our special bond of friendship through the decades," she added. "Today more than ever before, democracies like Europe and Israel should come closer together."
von der Leyen portrayed the Russian invasion of Ukraine as an assault on democracy itself, and praised Israel's humanitarian aid and welcoming of some Ukrainian refugees.
She pivoted to Europe's dangerous dependency on Russian natural gas and oil, and called for increased energy cooperation between Israel and Europe.
"The Kremlin has used our dependency on Russian fossil fuels to blackmail us," she said. "Since the beginning of the war, Russia has deliberately cut off its gas supplies to Poland, Bulgaria and Finland, and Dutch and Danish companies, in retaliation for our support to Ukraine."
But Moscow's conduct "only strengthens our resolve to break free of our dependence on Russian fossil fuels," she said, noting the EU was "exploring ways to step up our energy cooperation with Israel," with work on an underwater power cable and a gas pipeline in the eastern Mediterranean.
"This is an investment in both Europe's and Israel's energy security," she said.

EU chief, Italian PM head to "Israel" for energy talks
President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and Prime Minister of Italy Mario Draghi were scheduled to visit the Israeli occupation on Monday as the EU seeks to reduce its reliance on Russian fossil fuel imports.
Both leaders were scheduled to hold energy talks in "Israel", which has transitioned from a natural gas importer to an exporter in recent years due to large offshore discoveries.
von der Leyen was to meet Israeli Foreign Minister Yair Lapid on Monday and Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett on Tuesday, with talks projected to focus "in particular on energy cooperation," a commission statement read.
Mario Draghi, who is on his first Middle East trip since taking office last year, will also discuss energy and food security during his two-day trip, according to Italian media.
Both leaders will meet Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday.
The EU formally adopted a ban on most Russian oil imports this month, the EU's toughest sanctions yet against Russia over the war in Ukraine.
It is worth noting that von der Leyen has proposed that the EU phase out its reliance on Russian hydrocarbons, including gas, by 2027.
Draghi and other EU leaders have warned that as energy prices rise, European customers may require protection.
Israeli Energy Minister Karine Elharrar and other officials have stated that if "Israel" can deliver gas from occupied Palestinian offshore reserves, which are estimated to be worth nearly 1,000 billion cubic meters, it could help meet EU demand.
Before von der Leyen's visit, European Commission spokesperson Dana Spinant told reporters to "stay tuned for announcements on energy cooperation with Israel and other partners in the region."
Options for supplying stolen Palestinian gas to Europe
For the time being, supplying gas to Europe would be difficult and would necessitate significant and long-term infrastructure investments.
With no pipeline connecting its occupied Palestinian offshore fields to Europe, one option for the Israeli occupation is to pipe natural gas to Egypt, where it could be liquefied and shipped to Europe.
Another possibility is the construction of a pipeline to Turkey.
The EastMed project, a proposal for a seafloor pipeline connecting "Israel" with Cyprus and Greece, is option three.
Experts have raised concerns about the project's cost and viability, while "Israel" has stated that it would like to see Italy sign-on.
Eying to steal Lebanese gas
"Israel" looks to expand its resources, not only at the expense of Palestinians and Palestinian territory but also at the expense of Lebanese sovereignty.
A new Israeli platform in the Karish field, a contested maritime zone, has been lately placed to steal Lebanon's gas at a distance of 80km away from Haifa, by the British-Greek exploration company Energean.
Furthermore, media sources reported that agreements signed between "Israel" and Energean stipulate that the security measures of the platform fall within the company's responsibilities, while the maritime security of the Karish field falls on the shoulders of the IOF.
Additionally, the Israeli occupation navy is securing the area by means of naval vessels situated both above and below the surface of the sea, including submarines. The IOF also pointed out that they are "working to transfer the Iron Dome system in its naval version to the region."
Lebanon condemned the installation of the new platform for the Energean in the heart of the disputed area, Karish field, between Lebanon and occupied Palestine.
Amos Hochstein, the US envoy mediating the maritime border talks, was scheduled to arrive in Lebanon on Monday.

Visiting EU president tells ToI: We'll pressure Putin for as long as it takes
After Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Europe sees Jerusalem as a valuable ally on defense, energy, food security, says von der Leyen; Iran deal ready but 'political decisions needed'
In February 2015, as Russia-backed separatists waged war in eastern Ukraine, America seemed eager for a fight.
Then-vice president Joe Biden said Russian President Vladimir Putin "continues to call for new peace plans as his troops roll through the Ukrainian countryside and he absolutely ignores every agreement that his country has signed in the past."
Former US Air Force general Philip Breedlove, then NATO's top commander, told journalists that military support for Ukraine should be part of the package of Western pressure on Russia. "There is a large tool bag that we can use," he said.
But among Europe's major powers, the tone was different.
At that month's annual security conference in Munich, Germany's then-defense minister, Ursula von der Leyen, expressed Berlin's view that military support was counterproductive. As The New York Times paraphrased her comments at the time, "Germany sees Ukraine and Russia as a chance to prove that in the 21st century, developed nations should solve disputes at the negotiating table, not with weapons." Russia, she noted, could match any Western help with "an almost infinite supply of weapons it could send in to Ukraine."
That was the view of the Merkel government, of Francois Hollande's France, of much of Europe.
No longer.
"For the first time in history, the EU is financing deliveries of weapons - we have so far allocated two billion euros to cover the needs of the Ukrainian defense forces," von der Leyen, now president of the European Commission, the EU's executive branch, told The Times of Israel in an interview by email ahead of her visit to Israel, which begins Monday.
The visit is about many things, some of them standard fare for such trips. von der Leyen will be meeting Palestinian leaders in Ramallah, tour the Yad Vashem Holocaust museum, and so on.
But the heart of the trip is, ultimately, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the profound reorientation sparked by that aggression, including Europe's sudden need to expand its defense capabilities, energy supply and food security.
The change in tone and outlook that has come over von der Leyen since Putin's February invasion is, like her, representative of Europe as a whole.

Q Research General #20625: TRUTH SOCIAL WEB APP IS FULLY Edition
Famine, floods, pestilence, drought, plague, war, and rumors of war. These are the key issues facing the world today and the invitation-only World Economic Forum (WEF) next week in Davos, Switzerland, is just the place to find the answers provided by the select globalist elites, founder Klaus Schwab declared Wednesday.
"The return of war, epidemics and the climate crisis, all those disruptive forces have derailed the global recovery," Schwab, the forum's executive chairman, told journalists in an almost biblical prognostication ahead of the convention's start on Sunday.
"Those issues must be confronted in Davos, and the global food crisis in particular needs our immediate attention," he added in an online briefing, according to the Irish Times.
The return of a 2,500-strong in-person gathering after the coronavirus pandemic comes as the world struggles to meet the challenge presented by Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
It all comes down to trusting in the WEF to find the correct outcomes and implement them as instructed, Schwab and his unelected workers submit.
"In a world which is becoming more fragmented, more divided, and where many of the traditional multilateral organisations tend to become dysfunctional, or at least mistrustful, a global platform based on informal, trust-faced and action-oriented co-operation will be ever more relevant, more important than before," Schwab declared.
More than 50 heads of state and government will attend the meeting next week, including NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission, the WEF lists.
All will be flying in for the week at the luxury ski resort before flying home again, just as they have done in the past.
Also scheduled to be there are heads of government including Greece's Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, Ivory Coast Prime Minister Patrick Achi, Poland's Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, Colombia's President Ivan Duque Marquez and Rwanda's President Paul Kagame.

EU unveils rationing plan
The European Commission will encourage rationing and make solar panels mandatory in the move away from Russian energy
(Every decision they make will fail, but green energy is their goal)
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced on Wednesday that the EU would raise its renewable energy targets and invest billions of euros in clean energy in a bid to break away from Russian oil and gas imports. Consumers will pay a price, however, with the EU's plan including energy rationing and compulsory solar panels on homes.
von der Leyen's 'REPowerEU' plan would cut the EU's reliance on Russian gas by 66% this year and eliminate it entirely by 2027, the bloc's policy chief told reporters in Brussels.
Under the plan, the EU will increase its Energy Efficiency Target from 9% to 13%, and raise from 40% to 45% the amount of its power generated by renewables by 2030. At present, the EU sources 22% of its energy from renewables.
To achieve this, von der Leyen said that the EU would speed up the permitting procedure for renewable projects such as wind farms and would make ?300 billion ($315 billion) available in grants and loans. Of this funding, 95% would be set aside for green energy, while 5% would be used to upgrade Europe's gas and oil infrastructure to receive imports from sources other than Russia.
However, some of the immediate costs will be borne by consumers. According to the European Commission's website, households and industry will be required to make "behavioral changes" - such as turning down air conditioning and switching off lights - to reduce demand for oil and gas by 5%.Furthermore, commercial and public buildings will be required to install rooftop solar panels by 2025, with these panels to be made mandatory on residential buildings by 2029.
Some individual member states have already asked their citizens to curtail their energy use. Germany, which depends on Russia for more than half of its gas and was already facing the world's highest energy costs due to its flawed transition to wind power, has asked its population to shower less and swap their cars for bicycles in order to save costs.
With consumers across the EU already grappling with skyrocketing inflation and record fuel prices, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that European countries are committing economic "suicide" by trying to wean themselves off Russian oil and gas, accusing them of caving to pressure "from their American overlord" without "paying any attention to the damage that they have already caused their own economy."

More Oil From U.S. Strategic Petroleum Reserve Heads To Europe
Europe is set to receive more cargoes of U.S. crude from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) as the European Union discusses an oil embargo on Russia and looks to reduce reliance on Russian oil, Bloomberg reported on Thursday, citing tanker-tracking data and sources with knowledge of the shipments.
In recent weeks, Europe has increased purchases of U.S. crude as it considers the details of a ban on imports of Russian crude and refined products.
A week after the European Commission officially proposed a full ban on Russian crude and oil product imports by the end of the year, the EU is still scrambling to find a common position, trying to persuade Hungary and some other central European countries to drop their opposition to an embargo.
"We made progress, but further work is needed," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said late on Monday following a meeting with Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
Meanwhile, U.S. crude is flowing to Europe at rates never seen before.
Two cargoes of high-sulfur crude from the U.S. strategic reserve are headed to Italy and the Netherlands, according to tanker-tracking data and sources briefed by Bloomberg. The tankers have loaded crude at terminals connected to storage caverns of the SPR in Texas and Louisiana.
According to Matt Smith, oil analyst at commodity data firm Kpler, these would not be the last crude exports out of the U.S. SPR to Europe.
In April, some 1.6 million barrels of U.S. crude from the strategic reserve made its way to Europe, Smith told Bloomberg, adding: "That's the largest amount of SPR crude that's been shipped to the continent based on historical monthly data."
Although the EU is still working out the details of an embargo on Russia's oil, many buyers in Europe are generally staying away from Russian crude and products, while May 15 is the deadline for European buyers to wind down and halt transactions with Russian oil firms, including Rosneft.

European Sanctions Blown To Bits: Draghi Says "Most Gas Importers" Have Opened Ruble Accounts With Gazprom
Three weeks ago we reported that when faced with the actual, brutal consequences of its anti-Russian virtue signaling and harsh language, Europe's fake united front promptly cracked crack as several European gas buyers quietly paid for supplies in rubles as Russia had demanded - in breach of Brussels sanctions - and we predicted that soon virtually everyone in Europe would follow in their footsteps and similarly bypass EU sanctions. Moments ago, one of the most powerful people in Europe - former Goldman partner and ECB head - Mario Draghi, confirmed just that.
Speaking during a press conference in Washington D.C. after his meeting with Joe Biden, Draghi said that European gas importers have already opened accounts in rubles with Gazprom.
The Italian PM was responding to a question asking if he is confident that Italy will be able to pay for gas without breaching sanctions and therefore gas flow to Italy won't be affected.
"I'm actually quite confident, but for a silly reason. There is no official pronouncement of what it means to breach sanctions. Nobody ever said anything about whether rubles payments breach sanctions or not, how these payments are organized. So it's such a gray zone here."
Actually, it's not a gray zone at all: on April 27, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen specifically warned companies not to bend to Russia's demands to pay for gas in rubles: "companies with such contracts should not accede to the Russian demands," von der Leyen said. "This would be a breach of the sanctions so a high risk for the companies."
In other words, Draghi is either completely unaware of the current realty over the hottest topic in the world today, or is blatantly lying, and in the process demonstrating that the entire "united European front" against Putin is one giant farcical facade.
Which led to the just as stunning conclusion from Draghi': "As a matter of fact, most gas importers have already opened an account in rubles with Gazprom", Draghi added in a stunning revelation that behind the scenes, Europe not continues to actively pay Russia billions every day, but is doing so on Putin's terms and helping send the Ruble soaring!

Kremlin responds to 'gas blackmail' claims by EU
Russia says its decision to require payment in rubles for natural gas stems from 'unprecedented hostile steps' taken by the EU against Russia
Russia has denied using natural gas exports as a tool to "blackmail" Europe, a claim voiced by the European Commission President, Ursula von der Leyen. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the switch to gas trade in rubles stems from the EU's own actions.
"This is not blackmail. Russia has been and remains a reliable supplier, committed to its obligations. The conditions that were outlined in the presidential decree, the need for them was caused by unprecedented hostile steps against us," Peskov stated, adding that the decision was communicated to natural gas buyers long before it took effect.
We've been robbed of a significant amount of our reserves. And this required a transition to a new system.
Earlier on Wednesday von der Leyen accused Moscow of using natural gas trade as a "blackmail" tool following Gazprom's decision to halt exports to Poland and Bulgaria. The EU Commission president described the move as "unjustified and unacceptable," adding that it highlighted the "unreliability of Russia as a gas supplier."
"The announcement by Gazprom that it is unilaterally stopping delivery of gas to customers in Europe is yet another attempt by Russia to use gas as an instrument of blackmail," she stated.
The decision to bring gas exports to Bulgaria and Poland to a complete halt was announced by Gazprom on Wednesday morning, with the energy giant citing the two countries' failure to pay in rubles for the fuel delivered in April.
The supply of gas will resume only when the two nations comply with Russia's new payment scheme, the company said, warning Sofia and Warsaw against trying to siphon off Russian transit gas intended for other countries.
Further countries may be cut off from Russian gas supplies should they fail to switch to the ruble payment scheme, Peskov warned. To avoid this, they need to open accounts at Gazprombank and make payments in euros or dollars that would then be converted into rubles.
"There are no additional difficulties for buyers here. It is a sacrifice of the national economy for the sake of false prejudices, the desire to punish our country to the detriment of their own citizens," he said, adding that Russia has already calculated the risks the ongoing standoff might bring to the national economy and taken precautionary steps.
The ruble payment scheme was announced by Russian President Vladimir Putin in late March. The measure applies to countries that have imposed sanctions on Russia but continue to import its gas.
Since then, several importers have signaled their readiness to accept the Moscow-proposed scheme. On Monday Uniper, Germany's largest buyer of Russian gas, said it would be possible to pay for future supplies in the Russian national currency without breaching Western sanctions.

EU to offer India more military hardware - media
The European Commission president's ongoing visit to New Delhi reportedly aims to woo the country away from Russia
von der Leyen is also expected to discuss the resumption of talks on a free trade agreement between the bloc and India, according to Reuters. The main objective of the European Commission chief is to woo India away from its long-standing military and economic partner, Russia, the report claims.
"There are a whole host of Western leaders reaching out to India right now to see what alternatives we can provide," the unnamed EU official told Reuters. "The key is that we want to bring forward this relationship, work on technology together and bring India into our camp, that's the main message of our visit."
India and the EU have been holding talks on establishing a free trade agreement off and on for years. The negotiations were frozen in 2013, when they hit a snag over tariff reduction and patent protection issues, and restarted in 2021.
Last week, UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson paid a visit to his Indian counterpart as well. He offered to boost defense cooperation between the two countries to Modi, with a potential free trade deal also high on the two leaders' agendas.
Johnson, among other things, pledged that Britain would support India in creating its own fighter jets. He also promised to issue an India-specific open general export license to reduce delivery times for defense items destined for India.
The UK prime minister acknowledged, however, that it is unlikely India would turn its back on Russia in the foreseeable fut European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will offer Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi a boost in sales of EU-made weapons to New Delhi on Monday, Reuters reports, citing an unnamed senior EU official. Brussels is supposedly seeking to encourage India to reduce its ties to Russia amid the Kremlin's ongoing military campaign in Ukraine.
While calling for a peaceful resolution to the military conflict in Ukraine, India has stopped short of directly condemning Russia's actions or imposing sanctions.

Blinken, Austin Meet Zelenskiy in Kyiv in Top Show of Solidarity
Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin were in Kyiv late on Sunday night for talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, an adviser to Zelenskiy said. The visit which Zelenskiy had announced on Saturday with no confirmation from U.S. officials is the highest-level U.S. show of solidarity with Ukraine since the start of the war two months ago. The U.S. departments of State and Defense didn't immediately return requests for comment after the adviser spoke on Sunday. The Zelenskiy adviser, Oleksiy Arestovych, told an interviewer on YouTube that appeared to stream live about 10 p.m. local time-(is is now 2:39am) that the two Americans were talking with Zelenskiy "right now" in the Ukrainian capital Arestovych said the talks would center on weapons supply and joint policies toward Russia.
The visit comes with the war entering a new phase as Russia shifts its forces to the east and south after failing to take Kyiv or topple Zelenskiy's government in the early weeks of the conflict. U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and other foreign leaders have previously visited Kyiv to show support for the Ukrainian government. Those trips raised pressure on the U.S. to schedule a visit by President Joe Biden or other senior officials. The White House said earlier there were no plans for Biden to visit the war-torn country. With Russian President Vladimir Putin showing no signs of backing down as the conflict enters its third month, the U.S. and European allies have continued to ratchet up sanctions on Moscow and accelerate the delivery of weapons to Ukraine.

EU Agrees Online Censorship Laws Forcing Big Tech 'Hate Speech' Clampdown
Another Big Tech clampdown on free speech online appears to be forthcoming after the European Union agreed in principle more online censorship laws on Saturday.
Members of the European Union have agreed on a new set of laws which will force Big Tech to take proactive action against "hate speech" and "disinformation online".
The new Digital Services Act now appears likely to result in even further clampdowns on free speech online, with sites with more than 45 million active users to be forced to more actively police content deemed to be either illegal or "harmful", with "disinformation" also being a major target of the newly agreed legislation.
According to a report by Euronews, all 27 EU member-states have agreed in principle to the new measures, which will see the likes of Amazon, Twitter, and Google fined for up to six per cent of their global revenue should they go against the act once implemented.
"With the DSA we help create a safe and accountable online environment," said one EU mandarin regarding the new measures, which look set to come into effect by 2024 at the earliest.
"Platforms should be transparent about their content moderation decisions, prevent dangerous disinformation from going viral and avoid unsafe products being offered on market places," they continued, as another political talking head bragged that the bloc was bringing an end to the "wild west" era of the internet.
Meanwhile, European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen has claimed the measure will actually protect freedom of speech - though did not mention the provisional inclusion of so-called "hate speech" in her statement posted online - and that it would allow users to challenge content moderation decisions either in or outside of court.
"The DSA will upgrade the ground-rules for all online services in the EU," the Commission president said. "It will ensure that the online environment remains a safe space, safeguarding freedom of expression and opportunities for digital businesses."
"It gives practical effect to the principle that what is illegal offline, should be illegal online," she claimed.

Ukraine angry at Austrian comments
Austria has voiced skepticism over a full membership for Kiev in the bloc
Kiev is "disappointed" by the "short-sighted" statements of Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg who suggested that full EU membership might not be the best option for Ukraine.
On Saturday, Schallenberg, while admitting that deepening ties with Ukraine is necessary as the EU is exporting the "Western way of life," said that models other than full EU membership should be considered for Ukraine. He mentioned joining the European Economic Area or an association agreement as among the options.
Reacting to these comments, Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleg Nikolenko released a strong-worded statement on Sunday.
"We are disappointed by the remarks of the Austrian Federal Minister of Foreign Affairs about the European future of Ukraine. We consider them to be strategically short-sighted and not in the interests of a united Europe," Nikolenko said, adding that Schallenberg ignores the positive view of "the vast majority" of the populations of the EU's founding members toward Ukrainian membership.
Referring to statements by Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba, Nikolenko said that the Ukrainians have already paid "too high a price" for the mistakes of European countries.
"Their biased perceptions of reality have already weakened Europe politically and economically, enabled Russia to undermine EU stability and embody hybrid aggression against European countries," the ministry's spokesman argued.
Nikolenko concluded his statement by emphasizing that as Ukraine has become "an outpost for the protection of EU security," it has every reason to "demand objective recognition of its merits and strategic role for the EU."
During a recent visit to Kiev, European Council President Charles Michel said that normally it takes about eight months for the European Commission to publish an opinion on a membership bid, but in Ukraine's case it should be ready by the end of June. Michel added that he feels "a very strong support" toward Ukraine's EU membership drive.
Joining the EU has long been among the key objectives for pro-Western Ukrainian politicians, yet almost no progress had been achieved. Since Russia launched its attack in February, President Volodymyr Zelensky has repeatedly urging Brussels to take Ukraine in.
Early in April, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen delivered Ukraine a special questionnaire, which is the first step in a country formally becoming a candidate for EU membership. Kiev submitted the first part of the document less than a week after receiving it.

A Social Credit System Aimed at Modifying Climate Change Behaviors is Being Deployed in Italy.
By 2023, authorities will attempt to modify citizen behavior using a digital credit system.
Italy will become the first European nation to implement a social credit system - where citizens will be rewarded for their "good behavior".
Starting in the fall of 2022, the city of Bologna will begin a new pilot project. Citizens who display good behavior such as correctly recycling or using public transportation will be rewarded.
The Bologna municipality is deploying a "Smart Citizen Wallet" which will be the primary method for citizens to collect digital coins in exchange for behavioral changes. Based on the given scores, a person can also receive discounts for local shops.
The primary argument for this program is to "save resources" and promote climate friendly behavior.
As reported by Bologna Today, Massimo Bugani, the councilor for the digital agenda in the northern city, said that while no one will be forced to use this application, he expects a high user uptake. In its current state, the system will not be tied to others, such as online identification and social media usage.
Given the increasing interest by the European Union, some fear it is only a matter of time before more regions and nations will implement similar methods to solve "social issues". Germany and Austria (ID Austria) have already accelerated their respective digital ID plans. Both countries are introducing new platforms to integrate more public services and IDs, digitize mail, and even national passports. These new measures have been introduced under the auspicious of solving "bureaucratic problems and [saving] resources."
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has also expressed keenness over introducing 'EU ID', which would integrate national IDs with internet sign-ups.
In 2021, von der Leyen said: "Every time an App or website asks us to create a new digital identity, or to easily log via a big platform, we have no idea what happens with our data. That is why the Commission will propose a secure European e-identity. One that we trust and that any citizen can use anywhere in Europe to do anything from paying taxes to renting bicycles."
Given the amount of data such a platform could log on every EU citizen, a looming privacy nightmare seems inevitable. The European ID Wallet app began its testing phase in 2021 and will also deploy in the fall of 2022.

The West may have just killed the G20
With their demarches against Russia, Western members of the global club are demolishing its purpose
By Sergey Strokan,
April 20, 2022 has every chance of going down in the history of modern international relations as the day that led to the sudden demise of the G20, which represents the leading economies of the Western and non-Western world.
The events taking place in Washington as part of the meeting - during which the finance ministers of the 'The Big 20', as the group is unofficially referred to, were supposed to look for collective answers to the main challenges facing the world economy - lost their meaning amid the grandiose scandal that broke out in the American capital.
US Secretary of the Treasury Janet Yellen and UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak immediately announced they would boycott any G20 events attended by Russian Finance Minister Anton Siluanov. Thus, the dialogue between the leading economies of the East and West - for which, in fact, the '20' was created at one time - was disrupted even before it began.
For the same reason, the finance ministers of the G20 countries were forced to refuse in advance to adopt a joint final communique on the results of the Washington meeting, as this turned out to be impossible due to the presence of Russia among its participants. The Western states have categorically refused to talk to Moscow since the start of its military operation in Ukraine, and demanded that it be excluded from the G20.
"Russia and President Putin have shown himself and themselves to be a pariah in the world. And the president's view is that he has no place at an international forum," White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said.
"According to the latest forecasts, Russia's GDP will shrink by 11%. A state default in Russia is only a matter of time," European Commission Head Ursula von der Leyen confidently said before the Washington G20 meeting, demonstrating her determination to exacerbate tensions, despite the increasingly tangible side effects for Western economies.
Thus, by trying to enlist the non-Western part of the world in the sanctions war they have unleashed against Russia, as well as their campaign to isolate it, the United States and its Western allies killed 'The Big 20', splitting it into two camps.
In addition to the Group of Seven states and the European Union, the G20 includes the BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa), as well as a number of other countries that won't accept the idea of excluding Russia - Indonesia, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and South Korea among them.
However, by acting in this way, our 'Western partners' have crossed all imaginable and unthinkable red lines. In particular, they ignored the position of the current chair of the G20 - Indonesia - and tried to deprive it of its legal right to determine the meeting's agenda.
As a result, on April 20, 2022, the G20, which was created in December of 1999 in order to overcome the split between the West and East and engage in global crisis management, found itself for the first time in its history in a situation where its own members were engaged in generating risks, instead of containing them.
Thus, they shot themselves in the foot. The costs the current crisis will exact on the international system will only increase, while eroding the positions of the US and Western financial institutions like the IMF and World Bank within it.This includes the loss of the dollar's central position in global finance, and the accelerated formation of new payment systems, which will make it impossible to preserve or restore the old-world order in which Washington played a central role.
(Hmmm sounds like it was planned all along…kek)

Europe & US agree on more sanctions for Russia
The energy industry is anticipated to be the most likely target
The US and EU have reached "a broad consensus on the need to increase pressure on the Kremlin" through the deployment of more sanctions, the Italian government announced on Tuesday, adding that the allies had also agreed on the need to "increase the international isolation of Moscow" during a virtual meeting between the US and heads of European nations regarding the latest phase of the war in Ukraine.
"We will increase our sanctions against Russia again," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen confirmed in a tweet.
It's not clear exactly what sanctions are planned, though the energy industry is anticipated to be the most likely target. The conference participants made a point of reaffirming their "common commitment to diversify energy sources by reducing in this way the dependence on Russian supplies," according to the Italian press release.
Russia has already been cut off by most western companies, from tech platforms to fast food outlets, but oil and gas sales to Europe continue as many EU countries have been unable to source sufficient supplies to compensate for the 40% of the gas the continental alliance buys from Russia.
That hasn't stopped the US - which became energy independent under former President Donald Trump - from urging the EU to join its crusade against Moscow's energy industry, promising to fill the gap with American liquefied natural gas - a much more expensive fuel that most European countries lack the infrastructure to store in large quantities.
France's economic minister, Bruno Le Maire, revealed on Tuesday that he hoped to "convince" his country's more reluctant neighbors of the need for a total embargo on Russian oil imports, blaming unnamed nations for "still hesitating" and complaining it could take weeks to get a consensus on the subject. Germany in particular has come out hard against the idea, warning it would send the country into a major recession.
However, the EU is optimistic about its ability to wean itself off Russian gas, claiming it will be able to slash consumption of the fuel by two-thirds by the end of the year. Replacement fuel would be piped in from Norway and Azerbaijan, imported from the US, and generated locally through expanded green energy projects, according to the EU executive commission. The EU currently sends about $850 million (?650 million) to Russia per day for oil and gas, even while sanctioning most other Russian industries.
In addition to von der Leyen, the virtual conference included US President Joe Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, UK PM Boris Johnson, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau, Italian PM Mario Draghi, Polish President Andrzej Duda, Romanian President Klaus Iohannis, Japanese PM Fumio Kishida, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, and European Council President Charles Michel.

Russia responds to EU's 'bankruptcy' predictions
"Russia's default could turn into Europe's default," Dmitry Medvedev tells "auntie Ursula"…kek
Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has warned the "Brussels masochists" that they will have to change their rhetoric if the Russian debt default they predict ends up turning into the bankruptcy - both moral and material - of the European Union.
Medvedev, who is currently deputy chairman of the national Security Council, took to Telegram to respond to remarks by the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. Speaking to the Bild newspaper earlier on Sunday, she said that "Russia's state bankruptcy is only a matter of time," referring to the hard-hitting Western economic sanctions imposed on Moscow over its offensive in Ukraine.
Noting that "auntie Ursula" has been talking a lot about an imminent Russian default, Medvedev suggested that it was something the EU politicians "secretly dreamed about at night."
"This is the deep strategy of the European Union, the secret intention of the masochists from Brussels and their partners in games from across the ocean [the US]," Medvedev wrote in a post.
The former president warned the EU leaders that any Russian default could turn into "both a moral and, quite possibly, material" default of the bloc itself.
"The financial system of the EU is not quite stable, people's confidence is falling. And it didn't shake so much even in the memorable year of 2008, and back then it was very difficult," he said, referring to the so called Great Financial Crash.
He sarcasticallyadvised the EU to expect "powerful gratitude" from their citizens for hyperinflation, "which could no longer be attributed to the wicked Russians," for the lack of basic supplies in stores and for a new migration crisis, which, in Medvedev's opinion, "will provoke a wave of violent crime worse than the Albanian one."
"Then the chaps in Brussels will have to change their rhetoric," he said, adding that otherwise, "smelly bonfires of tires" will appear on the streets of "well-maintained European cities."
Since the launch of the Russian offensive in Ukraine on February 24, the EU has adopted five packages of financial sanctions against Moscow and is now considering a sixth. The restrictions cover various sectors of the Russian economy, from banking to coal exports. Meanwhile, hundreds of foreign companies have suspended or completely stopped their operations in Russia. Moscow considers these measures unlawful and unjustified and has been responding to them with counter-sanctions.

U.S. weighs sending top-level official to meet Zelenskyy in Kyiv
The U.S. official, which will most likely be a Cabinet member, will follow European leaders who have already made the symbolic visit.
The Biden administration is holding internal discussions about sending a high-level official to Kyiv to show further support to Ukraine, two U.S. officials told POLITICO.
No decision on the potential visit has yet been made as deliberations continue inside the White House. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris remain candidates to represent the U.S. in the Ukrainian capital, though it's far more likely that a Cabinet member like Secretary of State Antony Blinken or Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin will go, the officials said.
Both Biden and Harris have recently traveled to Poland, a frontline NATO country that borders Ukraine.
A U.S. official visiting Kyiv would be the latest in a parade of Western figures meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. In recent weeks, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and British Prime Minister Boris Johnson made the trip, while the leaders of Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland met Wednesday with Zelenskyy in the capital.
If the administration decides to send someone to Kyiv, it is understood that there won't be an announcement in advance, due to security reasons. The timing of any potential trip is uncertain and officials cautioned that it may not happen at all due to the fluid nature of the war.
The trip would be highly symbolic for both Washington and Kyiv. The U.S. would affirm its commitment to Ukraine's resistance against Russia's invasion, while Ukraine would get to host a top American official in the capital, just weeks after forcing Russian troops to retreat.
The visit would also come after Biden authorized an additional $800 million in military assistance, putting the total U.S. aid to Ukraine above $3 billion since the new administration came to power.
The White House didn't respond to a request for comment.

I wish they would send Kamala to once again make a fool of herself. They won't send her though.
Any thoughts on who it'll be? I'm guessing Blinken.

Macron comments on prospects to visit Kiev
The French president has said he would not visit Ukraine's capital just to follow current "fashion" trend
Whats gotten into Macron, is he trying to act like a leader now? Hmmm
French President Emmanuel Macron said he would not come to Kiev in order to "just make a diplomatic visit" or follow the "fashion" set up by other European politicians.
"I am ready to do anything, to go to Kiev or to another Ukrainian city. But, I want it to be useful," Macron told BFM TV late on Monday.
"I would only do it to trigger something new, a new process, so I want it to be useful," he stressed, adding that he would not come to Ukraine just to follow the "fashion" of going to Kiev, set up by European leaders. At the same time, he welcomed their visits as it demonstrated "European solidarity" with Ukraine.
Kiev and its northwestern suburb of Bucha have become the hotspots for top European politicians last week after the Ukrainian authorities accused Moscow of mass-killing civilians at the site. The location has been visited by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and the top EU diplomat Josep Borrell, as well as British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer.
While Western politicians were quick to back and amplify the Ukrainian take on the Bucha incident, condemning the alleged "war crimes," Russia has firmly denied any involvement, suggesting the whole affair had been deliberately staged by Kiev to frame Russian troops. Scores of dead civilians were discovered in the suburb after Russian forces withdrew from Kiev outskirts late in March and Ukrainian troops moved in.

UK to Send Armoured Vehicles, Anti-Ship Missiles to Ukraine as Johnson Meets Zelenskyy in Kyiv
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Saturday pledged new military and economic aid to Ukraine during a visit to Kyiv, where he met Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
The package includes 120 armoured vehicles, new anti-ship missile systems, and an additional $500 million (?385 million) in World Bank lending.
Johnson's visit, which wasn't announced in advance, was first made public on Twitter by the Embassy of Ukraine to the UK. The account published a photo of the two leaders sitting at a desk, with the word "Surprise."

Johnson later wrote on Twitter that the meeting was a show of the UK's "unwavering support for the people of Ukraine" in the country's "struggle against Russia's barbaric campaign."
Today I met my friend President @ZelenskyyUa in Kyiv as a show of our unwavering support for the people of Ukraine.

- Boris Johnson (@BorisJohnson) April 9, 2022
The new support package came a day after the UK pledged a ?100 million ($130 million) defensive aid package, including over 800 more NLAW anti-tank missiles; additional Javelin anti-tank systems; additional loitering munitions; additional Starstreak air defence systems; and additional non-lethal aid including ballistic helmets, body armour, and night vision goggles.
It also followed an appeal from the Ukrainians to Western nations to send more arms as they prepare for the expected Russian offensive in the east of the country, after Moscow pulled back its forces from around Kyiv.
In a statement after his meeting with Zelenskyy, Johnson said Ukraine "has defied the odds and pushed back Russian forces from the gates of Kyiv, achieving the greatest feat of arms of the 21st century."
"It is because of President Zelenskyy's resolute leadership and the invincible heroism and courage of the Ukrainian people that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin's monstrous aims are being thwarted," he said.
Johnson said the UK stands "unwaveringly" with the Ukrainian people in the ongoing fight, adding, "we are in it for the long run."
"We are stepping up our own military and economic support and convening a global alliance to bring this tragedy to an end, and ensure Ukraine survives and thrives as a free and sovereign nation," he said.
Earlier, Zelenskyy called on the international community to hold to account Russian forces who carried out a missile strike on a crowded railway station, killing at least 52 people.
The station at Kramatorsk was packed with women and children trying to flee west before the Russian advance arrives, when the missile hit on Friday.
"All world efforts will be directed to establish every minute of who did what, who gave what orders, where the missile came from, who transported it, who gave the command, and how this strike was agreed," Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address.
The Kremlin has denied responsibility for the attack, but Western officials believe it was probably a Russian Tochka-U missile, which NATO refers to as an SS-21, which was fired indiscriminately toward the town centre.
Johnson's visit comes the day after European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen was in the Ukrainian capital, and visited the town of Bucha, where civilians were reportedly raped and killed by occupying Russian troops.
Last month, the prime ministers of Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovenia visited Kyiv in a show of support for the Ukrainians.

Ukraine preparing for 'decisive' battle against Russia
At the same time, Kiev is also looking for 'certain diplomatic ways' to end conflict with Moscow
The EU leaders must be getting tired of listening to this tool
Ukraine is gearing up for a major battle against Russia in the country's southeast, President Volodymyr Zelensky said Saturday during a joint press conference with Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer in Kiev. At the same time, however, Ukraine is looking for "certain diplomatic ways" to end the ongoing conflict, Zelensky added.
"We see preparations for an important - and some say decisive - battle," he claimed.
"In the east, and not only in the east, but also in the south, there is an accumulation of troops. {There is} a large number of troops, equipment, armed people who are going to occupy another part of our territories. It will be a difficult battle. We believe in our struggle, we believe in our victory," Zelensky said.
At the same time, the Ukrainian president reiterated that the country has always been "ready for negotiations" with Moscow. While gearing up for the upcoming battle in the southeast, Kiev "looks for certain diplomatic ways that can stop this war," he added.
Zelensky also pledged to take Nehammer to the town of Bucha, a northwestern suburb of Kiev that Ukraine claims to be the site of an alleged mass killing of civilians, which it has blamed on Russian troops. Moscow has firmly denied any involvement in the deaths, suggesting that Kiev manipulated evidence to frame the Russian military.
Nehammer, for his part, called for an investigation of the Bucha incident and urged a probe to be launched with broad international involvement.
"Bucha is a place where terrible crimes have taken place, and it is necessary that people, members of the UN study these crimes, that international justice begins to work on this, that international criminal justice should gradually fight these crimes," Nehammer said during the press conference.
In recent days, Bucha has become a hotspot for Western media and top officials alike. On Friday, the town was toured by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and the EU's top diplomat Josep Borrell, who examined the site of the alleged atrocity.

Ukraine could join the EU within WEEKS: Brussels chief Ursula von der Leyen vows to accelerate Kyiv's bid to become a member state at historic press briefing with Volodymyr Zelensky after seeing Bucha atrocity victims on her visit to the wartorn country
EU President Ursula von der Leyen today visited the site of the Bucha massacre, a town northwest of Kyiv
She claimed Ukraine could become an official EU member 'within weeks' at an historic press conference
It comes as the bloc is now under renewed pressure to wean member states off reliance on Russian gas
The EU has paid Vladimir Putin 35billion euros for oil and gas since invasion of Ukraine began on February 24
Ukraine could become an official member of the European Union within weeks not years, it was revealed tonight, as Brussels chief Ursula von der Leyen vowed to accelerate the wartorn country's ascension to the bloc in the wake of Russia's invasion.
The European Commission President symbolically handed Volodymyr Zelensky an official membership questionnaire at an historic joint press conference in Kyiv, in a move likely to infuriate Vladimir Putin and his inner circle.
Becoming an EU member state normally takes years, and the process involves several rounds of applications, criteria checks and negotiations.
Kyiv has long aspired to join the European bloc, with the country's foreign minister pointedly using Ukraine's 2021 independence day to tell Politico that Brussels must welcome Moldova, Georgia and Ukraine into the European Union.
However, Ukraine's desire to become an official member state fuelled the Maidan revolution in 2014 which led to Russia's illegal annexation of Crimea. Ukraine already belongs to the EU's Eastern Partnership and European Neighbourhood Policy.
von der Leyen's public appearance was the EU's latest attempt to offer Kyiv both moral and financial support after Zelensky declared Russia's invasion was a direct attack not only on Ukraine's existence, but the security of Europe as a whole.
'It will not as usual be a matter of years to form this opinion but I think a matter of weeks,' she told the Kyiv press conference. The President also reiterated the West's policy of support for Ukraine, vowing that Putin 'must fail' after the EU unveiled its further sanctions on Russia.
Earlier on Friday, the Brussels chief visited Bucha, where Russian forces have allegedly committed mass murder and rape. Since Russian troops pulled back from the town, Ukrainian officials say hundreds of dead civilians have been found there. Visiting the town on Friday, von der Leyen said she had witnessed the 'unthinkable'.
Referring to a deadly attack at Kramatorsk railway station earlier in the day, in which dozens of refugees including children were killed, she told the Kyiv news conference: 'The cynical behaviour has almost no benchmark anymore… It is unbelievable.'

Boris Johnson Makes Surprise Trip To War-Torn Ukraine For Zelensky Meeting
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson showed up in the Ukrainian capital Saturday, in a bold surprise visit made public for the first time in photographs posted to government accounts showing the face-to-face meeting with President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Zelensky's office confirmed on Facebook that he and Johnson met. "Right now Boris Johnson's visit to Kiev began with a tet-a-tet meeting with President Zelensky. Great Britain is a leader in defense support of Ukraine. The leader in the anti-war coalition. Leader in sanctions on Russian aggressor," a statement said.
Zelensky in his own social media post revealing the meeting, called Johnson "one of the most principled opponents of the Russian invasion" and a "leader in sanctions pressure."
And the UK's embassy in Ukraine posted an image of the two leaders holding discussions in a small room with the word "surprise".
The British prime minister's office said Johnson went there in person, even as a major war is happening, in order to show "solidarity with the Ukrainian people." The statement further said, "They will discuss the UK's long-term support to Ukraine and the PM will set out a new package of financial and military aid."
The day prior, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Commission Vice President Josep Borrell Fontelles were inside Ukraine to meet with Zelensky, and even had a battlefield tour of sorts.

NATO member sends missile system to Ukraine
The donation to Kiev does not mean Slovakia has joined the conflict with Russia, its prime minister has insisted
Well, thats pretty hard to believe, EU or NATO probably thteatened them.
Slovakia has 'donated' its solitary Soviet-made S-300 air defense system to Ukraine, Slovakian Prime Minister Eduard Heger said on Friday. The move does not mean Bratislava has entered into a conflict with Moscow, he added in a Facebook post.
"I can confirm that Slovakia donated the S-300 air defense system to Ukraine based on its request to help in self-defense," Heger wrote in a post accompanied by a video address. The prime minister stated it was a "responsible" decision since the weapons system is "purely defensive."
He added that Slovakia's own security has not been compromised in any way through the move and its air defenses would be "strengthened" in the "coming days" by additional air defense system supplies from its "allies." The minister didn't name the nations that are expected to provide Bratislava with arms.
It is unclear how many surface-to-air systems have been "donated" to Ukraine. Slovakia is known to have had one battalion of the Soviet-made air defense systems after the split of Czechoslovakia back in 1993. Normally, an S-300 battalion consists of 12 self-propelled air defense missile launch systems and a radar.
Heger made the announcement ahead of his arrival in Kiev on Friday. He traveled to the Ukrainian capital with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen for talks with Volodymyr Zelensky.
This comes just days after the US media reported that some Central European nations, including Czechia, were considering the possibility of offering their facilities to Ukraine to repair its damaged military equipment. Prague also reportedly donated modernized Soviet-made tanks to Ukraine, although Czech officials have neither confirmed nor denied those reports.
Western nations have been supplying Ukraine with arms, ammunition, and fuel since shortly after the launch of the Russian military operation there in late February. Until recently, most deliveries included small arms, as well as portable anti-tank and anti-air missiles.
Moscow has repeatedly said Western arms supplies only serve to prolong the conflict in Ukraine and even warned that Russian forces could potentially target such deliveries.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the French LCI TV channel earlier this week that such deliveries would hardly prevent Russia from achieving the goals of its operation in Ukraine.

Hungary To Pay for Russian Gas in Rubles As EU Looks To Increase Sanctions
As the European Union considers new sanctions against Russia, the Hungarian government has stated that it would be willing to pay for Russian gas supplies in rubles if Moscow demanded payment in its national currency.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who won a landslide national election victory in Sunday's elections, told the media that his country would pay for Russian gas in roubles if the Russian government requested payment in the currency.
Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto has also claimed that the European Union has no say in the country's gas contracts as the deal was negotiated between companies in Hungary and Russia bilaterally, Reuters reports.
Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree requiring "unfriendly" nations to pay for Russian gas in roubles after European countries, along with the United States and others, enacted sanctions against Russia following the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February.
"They must open ruble accounts in Russian banks. It is from these accounts that payments will be made for gas delivered starting tomorrow, April 1," President Putin said last week.
Some European politicians have called for the European Union member states to embargo Russian gas following the alleged massacre in the suburbs of Kyiv, which some have attributed to Russian forces who left the area.
The Baltic nation of Lithuania agreed to embargo all Russian gas supplies, while countries like Germany and Austria - which is dependent on gas imports to keep the economy alive - have refused such a proposal. Austria imports as much as 80 per cent of its natural gas from Russia, while Germany imports just over half of its gas from the country.
"Cutting the gas tap so much overnight would have a serious impact on our daily lives, our energy supply and our economy," Georg Knill, President of the Federation of Austrian Industries, stated last month and added, "To be clear on this: we cannot sustain the economy as we know it without gas from Russia."
Hungary is also highly dependent on Russian gas imports, likely explaining the country's desire to maintain supplies despite the political cost of bending to Moscow's will in a time of war.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, meanwhile, announced a new sanctions package against Russia this week that will also affect Russian oil exports and will ban the import of Russian coal into Europe.
"These sanctions will not be our last sanctions," von der Leyen said and added, "Now we have to look into oil and revenues Russia gets from fossil fuels."

EU explains why it continues to arm Ukraine
The bloc wants the war to end, but "not in any way," the EU's chief diplomat Josep Borrell says
Not one of these countries have acknowledged the slaughter of 14,000 innocent ethnic Russians, until that is done and these people are free to be a separate state, this will not end. (My opinion)
The EU's top diplomat, Josep Borrell, has said the bloc issending weapons to Ukraine so that the conflict with Russia does not end in Kiev's defeat. (this is a lie, EU and US want WWIII and ultimately Ukraine's destruction, so they can start a war with Russia)
"We want it to end as soon as possible, but not in any way," Borrell told the European Parliament on Wednesday.
"Because if we're going to have a destroyed country that has been dismembered territorially and neutralized, with millions of people in exile, and millions of people dead, then no, we don't want this war to end like this."
"That is why we have to continue arming Ukraine… More weapons, that is what the Ukrainians expect of us, and that is what we are doing," Borrell said.
Borrell and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen will travel to Kiev this week, according to Brussels. TheEU announced last month that it was doubling the bloc's military aid to Ukraine to ?1 billion ($1.1 billion).
The calls to send more weapons to Kiev have increased after Ukraine accused Russia of committing war crimes in the town of Bucha, near Kiev. Russia, whose troops left the area last week, denied that its soldiers were killing civilians in Bucha and elsewhere, and insisted that Kiev was waging a disinformation campaign to mislead the public.

EU leaders announce Kiev visit
Ursula von der Leyen and Josep Borrell will visit Ukrainian capital this week, spokesman says
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and the European Union's top diplomat Josep Borrell are to visit the Ukrainian capital this week, a spokesman for the chief commissioner announced on Tuesday.
The two senior officials will meet President Volodymyr Zelensky in person before going to Warsaw on Saturday for an event expressing the bloc's solidarity with the country, Eric Mamer, chief spokesman for von der Leyen, wrote on Twitter.
The Stand Up For Ukraine event in the Polish capital was organized by the EU and Canada "to raise funding and other types of support to cater for the needs of internally displaced people in Ukraine and of refugees," according to an EU statement. Western celebrities, including Bono, Madonna, Elton John, Miley Cyrus, Adam Lambert, C?line Dion and Alanis Morissette are expected to participate. Poland is the primary destination for Ukrainians fleeing violence in their country since Russia's military offensive was launched in late-February.
Why if its SO dangerous in Ukraine are leaders & diplomats going there??

EU unveils new sanctions on Moscow
Restrictions do not target Russian oil and natural gas imports
The European Commission has proposed a broad new package of sanctions against Moscow over the conflict in Ukraine. They include restrictions on Russian coal imports, bans on more banks and ships entering European ports. However, Brussels has avoided targeting imports of oil and natural gas from Russia.
According to RIA Novosti news agency, the new set of restrictions announced by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen includes a ?4 billion ($4.4 billion) ban on coal imports from Russia; a complete ban on any transactions with four Russian banks, including VTB; a ban on Russian ships entering European ports, except for food and energy deliveries; a ?5.5 billion ($6 billion) ban on imports of goods from Russia, including timber, cement, seafood and spirits.
Bans on some exports to Russia in the amount of ?10 billion ($11 billion), including semiconductor products, machinery and transport equipment, will also be introduced.
The latest EU sanctions appear to have avoided oil and gas imports from Russia. The issue has split member countries, which are heavily dependent on Russian energy.
Russia covers roughly 40% of the EU's natural gas needs, along with some 30% of its crude oil demand, and about half of its thermal coal, which is used to fuel power stations and generate electricity.
Thermal coal is the only fossil fuel targeted by the new restrictions, although they fall short of a complete ban. To put the ?4 billion ($4.4 billion) ban on coal imports in perspective, the EU imported roughly ?2 trillion ($2.2 trillion) worth of Russian coal in 2021, according to Statista's figures. The amount of Russian coal imports targeted by the new measure would represent about 0.2%.
Since the start of Russia's military operation in Ukraine, the EU has imposed several rounds of sanctions on Moscow, and has pledged to reduce its dependency on energy imports from Russia.
The measures still have to be approved by the bloc's 27 member states.
Wakey Wakey World, you are fighting against Russians, what did you think would happen? Russia is showing the EU, US and world how powerless they really are! Because Russia planned for 8 years, they knew the betrayal they had already experienced from the west, since the early 1990's.

EU to send investigators to probe alleged war crimes in Ukraine
People behind these "heinous crimes" must not go unpunished, EU Commission head has said
The EU will send a team of investigators to Ukraine to probe alleged war crimes on the ground, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Monday, after holding phone talks with the country's president Volodymyr Zelensky. The move comes after multiple dead civilians were found in Bucha, a suburb of the capital, over the weekend, with Kiev promptly attributing the killings to Russian troops.
"This afternoon I spoke with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on the dreadful murders that have been uncovered in Bucha and other areas from which Russian troops have recently left," von der Leyen said in a statement.
The investigative team dispatched by the EU will not act as an independent entity but will assist Ukrainian authorities in collecting evidence on site, the official signaled.
"The EU has set up a Joint Investigation Team with Ukraine to collect evidence and investigate war crimes and crimes against humanity," von der Leyen explained. "The EU is ready to reinforce this effort by sending investigation teams on the ground to support theUkrainian Prosecution Services. Eurojust and Europol are ready to assist."
The Bucha affair unfolded after multiple dead civilians were found in the suburban town northwest of the capital. Kiev without delay blamed Russian troops for the purported mass killing, with top Western officials backing its assessment and also accusing Moscow of war crimes. The latter, however, has vehemently denied any involvement in the killings, branding the whole Bucha affair a deliberately staged "provocation" to frame Russian troops.
Zelensky visited the site of the purported mass killing earlier in the day, vowing to punish those responsible, and reiterating Kiev's allegations against Moscow.
"We want you to show the world what happened here. What the Russian military did. What the Russian Federation did in peaceful Ukraine. It was important for you to see that these were civilians," Zelensky told a large group foreign reporters who accompanied him to the site.
Moscow launched a large-scale offensive against Ukraine in late February, following Ukraine's failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements signed in 2014, and Russia's eventual recognition of the Donbass republics in Donetsk and Lugansk. The German- and French-brokered protocols had been designed to regularize the status of those regions within the Ukrainian state.

Russia's demand is that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join the US-led NATO military alliance. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked and has denied claims it had been planning to retake the two rebel regions by force.

EU Calls on China to End Russian War on Ukraine
Leadership from the European Union (EU) and China met for a virtual summit April 1, amid increasing tensions over the Chinese Communist Party's (CCP) tacit support of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
"We called on China to end the war in Ukraine," said EU President Charles Michel during a press briefing after the meeting. "China cannot turn a blind eye to Russia's violation of international law."
The EU took the opportunity to warn the CCP against assisting the Russian war effort more overtly.
"Any attempts to circumvent sanctions or provide aid to Russia would prolong the war," Michel added. "This would lead to more loss of life and greater economic impact."
"We will also remain vigilant on any attempts to aid Russia financially or militarily. However, positive steps by China to help end the war would be welcomed by all Europeans and by the global community."
Michel also said that the EU and CCP were in agreement that the war in Ukraine was a threat to global security.
According to a Chinese readout of the summit, Chinese leader Xi Jinping described the Ukraine crisis as "regrettable." It also claimed that the regime's position on the issue was "consistent and clear-cut" and that it "always stands on the side of peace."
But European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said after the call that Beijing did not offer any assurances to Brussels about its stance on the war.
"China has an influence on Russia. And therefore we expect China to take its responsibility to end this war" and push Russia toward a peaceful solution, she said at a press conference.
Leyen also warned that the regime would suffer "major reputational damage" among the European business community if it stayed on the fence or sided with Russia during the war.
The EU-China summit came a few days after the regime's Foreign Minister Wang Yi met with his Russian counterpart in China, during which Beijing said it was "more determined" to boost bilateral ties with Moscow.
On Feb. 4, Xi and Russian leader Vladimir Putin announced an agreement that China and Russia would maintain a "no limits" partnership, and it was reported by Western intelligence sources that CCP officials knew about Putin's war plans weeks in advance.
Since then, the CCP has maintained that Russia is its most important strategic partner, and U.S. intelligence leaders have warned that the partnership between China and Russia, and against the West, will only deepen in the coming years.
The CCP has also continually attempted to leverage Russia's invasion of Ukraine as an opportunity to carry out anti-American and anti-NATO propaganda. It has repeated Russian disinformation about biological weapons labs and actively censors media that refer to the war as an invasion.
Despite claims of expansion, Ukraine was not under consideration for NATO membership. If Ukraine were to have applied to the alliance for membership, it would be denied because NATO's bylaws prevent any nation from joining that does not maintain territorial integrity. Such has been the case in Ukraine since the Russian annexation of Crimea in 2014.

Stand Up for Ukraine: European Commission and Government of Canada team up with Global Citizen to mobilise support for refugees
Today the European Commission and the Government of Canada announced the launch of a global campaign to raise funding in support of people fleeing the invasion of Ukraine, in partnership with international advocacy organisation Global Citizen.
The President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy called on the international community on behalf of his citizens who have been displaced by the war, saying: "On 9 April, the biggest online event 'Social Media Rally' will support people who were forced to flee Ukraine. I'm inviting everybody: musicians, actors, athletes, businessmen, politicians, everybody. Everyone who wants to join this movement and 'Stand Up for Ukraine'."
The "Stand Up For Ukraine" campaign seeks to mobilise governments, institutions, artists, companies and individuals to direct funding to support humanitarian efforts in Ukraine and in neighbouring countries. Global Citizen will announce more details in the coming days about how people can support.
The campaign will culminate in a pledging event on 9 April, co-hosted by President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The aim is to raise funds and mobilise support more broadly, to cater for the needs of internally displaced people and of refugees.
President von der Leyen said: "Millions of people are fleeing the bombs falling on Ukrainian cities. They are leaving their homes and their lives behind, to reach safety in other parts of Ukraine or in neighbouring countries. A Ukrainian child has become a refugee every second since the start of the war. The world must stand up for them. The European Union is catering for the needs of the millions of refugees it hosts. And we will further step up. But so much is needed - and the brave people of Ukraine deserve solidarity from citizens and governments around the globe. Together, we can give them a safe home and bring some light in their lives at this dark hour."
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said: "Today, our message to the Ukrainian people is this: we are standing with you. Whether you need food, water, shelter, or medical aid - we are rallying the world to continue to have your backs and provide critical assistance where it is needed most. When we all work together, we can achieve the best outcomes for those displaced by Putin's illegal and unjustifiable invasion of Ukraine."
Background
Around 10 million people have fled the invasion of Ukraine so far. More than 6.5 million are displaced internally. And over 3.5 million people have left Ukraine and fled into neighbouring countries. Around 2 million among them are children.
With no end to the conflict in sight, significant funds will be needed to address immediate needs like food and shelter for internally displaced people, and to host refugees in the neighbouring countries.

Europe's Plan To Boost LNG Imports From US, Elsewhere Faces Major Obstacles
zerohedge.com/energy/why-us-wont-succeed-weaning-europe-its-dependence-russian-gas
European leaders have grown quite fond of bandying about the notion of liberating their economies from their dependence on Russian oil and gas. Unfortunately, the numbers just don't make sense.
On Tuesday, the FT highlighted how Washington's pledge to wean Europe off of Russian gas by boosting LNG exports simply doesn't add up.
As a reminder, the US plan is supposed to work in three steps: first, it will help the EU secure short-term liquefied natural gas supplies to begin displacing Russian gas. Second, Europe will work "toward the goal of ensuring" a bigger market for US gas by 2030. Third, the US would help Europe accelerate its transition to clean energy.
But how much more gas can the US even export? Limits on both exporters' capacity and Europe's infrastructure and ability to absorb gas imports by boat suggest that, for the foreseeable future, the notion of offsetting Russian energy exports is pretty much a pipe dream.
The US says it aims to add 15 billion cubic meters of LNG to the EU this year, with more in the years to come. It didn't specify the origins of the gas, noting it would "work with international partners". By comparison, Russia currently exports 155 billion cubic meters a year of gas to the EU.
However, the baseline for this 15 billion pledge isn't clear. While the US shipped about 22 billion cubic meters of gas to Europe in 2021, it has already sent about 10 billion in the first quarter of this year. All of it is in the form of LNG, which is much more expensive to ship than gas that flows through a pipeline (as most of the Russian gas arriving in the bloc does).
Since October, America's LNG exports to Europe have already more than doubled.
Source: FT
Looking ahead, a team of analysts at Goldman Sachs warned clients in a recent research note that there's little scope for the US to boost LNG exports between now and 2025.
Another major obstacle to replacing Russian gas with American (or Qatari, or Saudi or Australian) LNG is the lack of necessary infrastructure available in Europe. LNG must be carefully offloaded and "regasified" from its liquid state after arriving at its destination. And most European countries simply don't have the necessary infrastructure to accomplish this. Perhaps this is why European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has called on the EU to "pool its resources", while Germany has suggested renting floating "regasification" vessels.
And even though the bloc's energy situation is more precarious than it has been in years, the clean-energy partisans are have vehemently opposed the construction of more of this LNG infrastructure for fear that it could undermine their agenda of renewables-first.
This is a U-turn from previous EU purchasing decisions as many buyers had stopped negotiating with US developers for LNG due to ESG [environmental, social and governance] concerns," said Sindre Knutsson at Rystad Energy, a consultancy.
Environmentalists were scathing. "Allowing for the expansion of new and expanded gas export facilities would lock in decades of reliance on risky, volatile fossil fuels and spell disaster for our climate," said Kelly Sheehan at the Sierra Club.
Even if Europe did manage to rapidly build out the infrastructure (which is unlikely, given the opposition from the ESG fanatics), they would likely have trouble convincing exporters to cut them in. After all, why would the Saudis (who have so far steadfastly refused to boost production in the face of the Ukraine conflict), or the UAE reroute their oil and gas from rapidly growing Asian markets (where demand is expected to remain robust for years to come) to Europe (where any short-term increase in demand is expected to be quickly offset by the bloc's pivot to renewables?).
That's a question President Biden and his European compatriots have been struggling to answer.

STATEMENT: CAP's John Podesta Praises Effort To Reduce EU Demand for Russian Gas, Urges Rapid Transition to Clean Energy
Washington, D.C. - Today, President Joe Biden and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced a joint effort to urgently reduce European demand for Russian natural gas in response to President Vladimir Putin's unjustified war in Ukraine and the resulting shock waves to the global energy system. Among other actions, the announcement included increasing liquid natural gas (LNG) supplies and new LNG import infrastructure; accelerating clean energy infrastructure and efficiency technologies; and recommitting to keeping the 1.5-degree Paris climate agreement goal. In response, John Podesta, founder and chair of the Board of Directors of the Center for American Progress, issued the following statement:
The United States should do everything it can to support its European allies as they try to reduce their dependence on Russian natural gas. This is a critical step in the global push to increase economic pressure on Russia in response to Putin's war against Ukraine. While U.S. and allied efforts to increase natural gas imports into Europe will help undermine Russia in the short term, the best bet for domestic energy security-and the best way to support our allies-is to rapidly transition to clean energy.
Congress must make investments in building a clean energy economy now. Funding for clean energy tax credits and new domestic clean energy manufacturing will cut energy costs, supercharge our domestic supply chain, create jobs, and ensure long-term energy security for the United States and its allies.

Germans told to wear a sweater to cope with soaring energy prices
Now they are punishing citizens for the bad decisions they made, using the citizens tax money
The European Union has announced a plan to phase out its dependence on Russian fossil fuels by 2030
Germans told to wear a sweater to cope with soaring energy prices
Baden-W?rttemberg Minister of Agriculture and Consumer Protection Peter Hauk has backed a complete German ban on importing gas and oil from Russia in response to Moscow's military assault on Ukraine.
Hauk supported the response to Russia's actions despite the impact it could have on his country's own citizens, who are already struggling with soaring energy prices that make it challenging for them to heat their homes.
"You can withstand 15 degrees [Celsius] in winter in a sweater. No one dies of it.But people are dying elsewhere," Hauk said, referencing the toll Russia has inflicted on Ukraine.
The comments from the politician, who is a member of the Christian Democratic Union party, elicited a strong response from the German Tenants' Association, which retorted that it showed no understanding of the needs of the elderly or those working from home.
Although the association conceded that Europe needed to reduce its dependence on Russian fossil fuels, it warned that lowering the room temperature and relying instead on wearing more clothing could lead to people falling ill during the winter months. "With a ministerial salary or a presidential pension, you can afford exploding energy costs and do not need to freeze yourself," Stuttgart state chairman Rolf Gassmann said.
The association went on to remind Gassmann that, with regard to rented accommodation, German landlords have a legal obligation to ensure rooms can be heated to 22 degrees Celsius and to install proper ventilation to prevent moisture buildup and mold infestation.
The European Union is to phase out its reliance on oil and gas from Russia by 2030, beginning by reducing its demand for Russian gas by two-thirds this year. The region "cannot rely on a supplier who explicitly threatens us," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said.

Q Research General #20164: Russia goes for the gold Edition
EU nations band together to buy gas
European Union will look to replace Russian gas with more expensive American alternative
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen told reporters on Friday that the European Union will purchase gas on its own and divide it between members, a new development for the 27-member bloc.
The move comes as European leaders seek to ditch Russian imports, and the US is waiting to ship its more costly product to the continent.
"The energy mix and concrete situation in our members is very different but we need to work together to pool our weight," von der Leyen said at a press conference after a two-day summit in Brussels, Belgium. "We have an enormous purchasing power. Therefore, I welcome that we will now use our collective bargaining power. Instead of outbidding each other, driving prices up, we will pool our demand."
von der Leyen has already promised to reduce Europe's dependence on Russian gas, but some EU countries remain dependent on a steady supply from Russia. Germany, whose leaders have recently warned that their economy could crash were Russian imports sanctioned, relies on Moscow for more than half of its gas supply.
However, leaders in Berlin have balked at paying for Russian gas in rubles, as Russian President Vladimir Putin demanded they do earlier this week. France too has opposed the gas-for-rubles system, with French President Emmanuel Macron telling reporters on Friday that he believes such a demand is "forbidden" by law.
Should the EU refuse to pay in rubles, as it likely will, its members will have to source their gas elsewhere. The US will likely step in to fill that void. In a joint news conference with US President Joe Biden on Friday, von der Leyen said that Washington would step up its deliveries of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) to "at least 50 billion cubic meters" per year, which she said would replace a third of the gas currently provided by Russia.
"We as Europeans want to diversify away from Russia towards suppliers that we trust, that are our friends, that are reliable," she said.
However, American LNG is more expensive than the Russian alternative, and getting it to Europe involves condensing it to fill special tanker ships, before converting it back to gas upon arrival at a purpose-built port facility. There are currently two dozen LNG import terminals in Europe, but none in Germany, which is an important gas distribution location. At present, work has yet to begin on Germany's flagship LNG terminal, which is set to start receiving gas in 2024.
These issues with pricing and logistics led Germany to ignore American offers of LNG shipments under President Donald Trump, and press ahead with the construction of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline from Russia instead. However, Nord Stream 2's certification was halted in response to the conflict in Ukraine.
"I know eliminating Russian gas will have costs for Europe," Biden said during his appearance with von der Leyen, before adding that high energy prices are something that Europe should put up with to oppose Putin.
"It's not only the right thing to do from a moral standpoint," he said. "It's gonna put us on a much stronger strategic footing."

White House Announces Biden "Major Address" Saturday As He Meets With Refugees In Poland
President Biden landed in Poland on Friday after attending Thursday's emergency NATO summit in Brussels where he was also pushing the EU to resist Russian efforts to "coerce and manipulate its neighbors" via oil and gas dependency.
"It's going to take some time to adjust gas supply chains and infrastructure that (were) built for the last decade so we're going to have to make sure the families in Europe can get through this winter and the next while we're building an infrastructure for a diversified, resilient and clean energy future," Biden had said at a prior press conference alongside European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
"I know that eliminating Russian gas will have costs for Europe, but it's not only the right thing to do from a moral standpoint, it's going to put us on a much stronger strategic footing," he said.
He landed in Poland, where he will meet with Ukrainian refugees who have fled the conflict, also after he pledged $1 billion in US humanitarian assistance for dealing with the crisis. And according to NBC, "Biden arrived in Rzeszow where plans to meet with U.S. troops who began arriving at a military base there last month. The base in Poland is less than 100 miles from where Russian missiles struck a Ukrainian military post this month."
At this point, now with the invasion and Russian 'special operation' reaching a full month, an estimated more than two million Ukrainians have entered Poland, also where US troops are assisting with refugee logistics at the border.
Simultaneous to the president touching down in Poland, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan announced that Biden will give a "major address" Saturday on the war in Ukraine.
As previewed by Sullivan, Biden highlight the "urgency of the challenge that lies ahead, what the conflict in Ukraine means for the world and why it is so important that the free world sustain unity and resolve in the face of Russian aggression," according to the statement.
It appears the "major address" will be given from Poland, and the president is expected to depart for Washington the same day.

US, EU sign data transfer deal to ease privacy concerns
BRUSSELS (AP) - The European Union and United States made a breakthrough in their yearslong battle over the privacy of data that flows across the Atlantic with a preliminary agreement Friday that paves the way for Europeans' personal information to be stored in the U.S.
President Joe Biden and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced the deal during Biden's stop in Brussels while on a European tour amid Russia's war in Ukraine.
Business groups hailed the announcement, saying it will provide relief to thousands of companies, including tech giants like Google and Facebook, that faced uncertainty over their ability to send data between the U.S. and Europe, which has much stricter regulations on data privacy.
Details of the agreement were not provided. It came the same day EU officials agreed on sweeping new digital rules to rein in the power of big tech companies such as Facebook and Google.
"Privacy and security are key elements of my digital agenda, and today we've agreed to unprecedented protections for data privacy and security for our citizens," Biden said. "This new arrangement will enhance the Privacy Shield framework, promote growth and innovation in Europe and the United States, and help companies - both small and large - compete in the digital economy."
von der Leyen said the agreement "will enable predictable and trustworthy data flows between the EU and the U.S., safeguarding privacy and civil liberties."
The dispute stems from a complaint filed nearly a decade ago by Austrian lawyer and privacy activist Max Schrems, who was concerned about how Facebook handled his data in light of revelations about U.S. government cybersnooping from former U.S. National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden.
Along the way, a ruling by the EU's top court struck down the Privacy Shield agreement covering transatlantic data transfers because it fell afoul of stringent data privacy standards in the 27-nation bloc. Companies were forced to rely on stock legal contracts to continue the transfers.
The dispute had raised the prospect that Facebook would have to revamp its data centers to ensure European data is kept out of the U.S.
The new agreement "will help keep people connected and services running," Facebook head of global affairs Nick Clegg tweeted. "It will provide invaluable certainty for American & European companies of all sizes, including Meta, who rely on transferring data quickly and safely."
Google said it commended the work by the EU and U.S. to "safeguard transatlantic data transfers."
Schrems called the latest deal a "political announcement." He said it could get tied up in the courts because his Vienna-based group NOYB would analyze it in depth and challenge anything that's not in line with EU law.
"Customers and businesses face more years of legal uncertainty," Schrems said.

Russia-Backed RT News Channel Has License Revoked in U.K.
U.K. media regulator Ofcom has revoked the broadcast license of Russia's state-backed news channel RT "with immediate effect."
"We do not consider RT to be fit and proper to hold a U.K. licence and cannot be satisfied that it can be a responsible broadcaster," Ofcom announced Friday.
"Today's decision comes amid 29 ongoing investigations by Ofcom into the due impartiality of RT's news and current affairs coverage of Russia's invasion of Ukraine," it added in a further statement.
"This investigation has taken account of a number of factors, including RT's relationship with the Russian Federation. It has recognised that RT is funded by the Russian state, which has recently invaded a neighbouring sovereign country. We also note new laws in Russia which effectively criminalise any independent journalism that departs from the Russian state's own news narrative, in particular in relation to the invasion of Ukraine. We consider that given these constraints it appears impossible for RT to comply with the due impartiality rules of our Broadcasting Code in the circumstances."
In response, RT described Ofcom as a "tool of the government."
RT, the licenses for which are held by ANO TV Novosti, has come under increased fire from across Europe since Russia began its invasion of Ukraine. In February, the European Union announced that it was banning both RT and fellow Russia-backed channel Sputnik as part of increased sanctions against Vladimir Putin's government.
"Russia Today and Sputnik, as well as their subsidiaries, will no longer be able to spread their lies to justify Putin's war and to sow division in our union," said European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. "So we are developing tools to ban their toxic and harmful disinformation in Europe."

Russia has stronger nerves than EU for energy standoff - Moscow
Moscow has a greater safety margin than Brussels, a Russian Foreign Ministry official has said
Moscow is ready for a vigorous standoff in the energy sector if the EU goes ahead with its plans to abandon Russian gas, oil and coal, a high-ranking Foreign Ministry official has said.
"Russia remains a reliable supplier [of energy resources]; a world-class guarantor of energy security," Nikolay Kobrinets, who heads the Department of European Cooperation, told Interfax on Saturday.
"We value this reputation, but we are ready for a harsh standoff in the energy sector, if necessary," he said.
The EU "will definitely not benefit" from such confrontation because "we [Russia] have a greater margin of safety and stronger nerves," insisted the Foreign Ministry official.
Earlier this week, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen complained that the EU was "too dependent on Russian fossil fuels and, in particular, gas." She promised to present a plan by mid-May that would allow the bloc to cease using Russian fossil fuels by 2027 by optimizing and decarbonizing the energy market.
von der Leyen's statement was made amid an ongoing Russian offensive in Ukraine, which was met with widespread international condemnation and draconian sanctions against Moscow. The Kremlin insists that it had to send troops into the neighboring country to "demilitarize" and "denazify" the Kiev government, and to prevent what it called the "genocide" perpetrated by Ukraine against civilians in the breakaway republics of Donetsk and Lugansk.
Kobrinets noted that, according to the European Commission's own data, the EU gets 45% of gas, 25% of oil and 45% of coal from Russia. "So Brussels has to understand its vulnerability," he pointed out.
However, judging by the statements coming from the bloc, it intends to achieve energy independence from Russia "at any price," he said. And this price "will have to be paid not by the top EU bureaucrats, but by ordinary European taxpayers."
According to Kobrinets, the plans by Brussels "aren't too rational" from an economic point of view. "There's already turbulence on the world energy markets, if not panic."
"It's unknown how high the prices will skyrocket. But it's already clear that the EU would have to pay triple prices for gas, oil and electricity, if not more. But it's their choice," he said.

Banning Russian oil imports would grind Germany to a halt, minister warns
Germany depends on Russian energy, and will not follow US and UK in banning imports, top diplomat says German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said on Tuesday that her country would "not be able to move" without Russian oil imports. While the UK and US announced they would cease buying Moscow's oil, Germany is too reliant to quit.
"A third of our oil imports come from Russia," Baerbock told the video channel of the newspaper Bild. "If we stopped these straight away, then tomorrow we would not be able to move in Germany anymore."
"We are trying to do everything we can to stop this war," Baerbock continued, referring to the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, before claiming that Russian President Vladimir Putin is currently "unstoppable."
Baerbock is a member of the Green Party, and was a supporter of shutting down Germany's remaining three nuclear plants, currently slated for closure by the end of this year.
Baerbock also opposed the certification of the Russia-Germany Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline months before Russia launched its military offensive in Ukraine. Once open conflict began last month, her coalition government quickly froze certification of the pipeline.
However, Germany's government has sought to put the brakes on any further sanctioning of Russian energy. On Monday, Chancellor Olaf Scholz issued a statement describing Russian oil and gas as "essential" for European energy security.
"At the moment, Europe's supply of energy for heat generation, mobility, power supply and industry cannot be secured in any other way," than by importing from Russia, the statement read. "It is therefore of essential importance for the provision of public services and the daily lives of our citizens."
In addition to counting on Russia for a third of its imported oil, Germany relies on Russia for more than half of its total gas supply.
Banning Russian energy imports is therefore far less tenable in Germany than in the US or UK, both of which issued bans on Tuesday. London banned oil imports, while Washington banned both oil and gas. However, both countries source only around 8% of their oil from Russia, with the UK importing 4% of its gas supply from Russia and the US importing next to zero.
Compounding Germany's reliance is the fact that the country's push toward green energy hasn't yielded the desired results. Coal plants were restarted last year as there wasn't enough wind to power the country's windmills, and even before the current spike in energy costs as a result of sanctions and market uncertainty over Ukraine, German electricity costs were already the highest in the world and rising.
Yet as an EU member, Germany will eventually see itself weaned off Russian fuels. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced on Tuesday that the EU would reduce its demand for Russian gas by two thirds before the end of the year, and phase out Russian fossil fuels before 2030.

Baerbock is a member of the Green Party, and was a supporter of shutting down Germany's remaining three nuclear plants, currently slated for closure by the end of this year. Baerbock also opposed the certification of the Russia-Germany Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline months before Russia launched its military offensive in Ukraine. Once open conflict began last month, her coalition government quickly froze certification of the pipeline.
However, Germany's government has sought to put the brakes on any further sanctioning of Russian energy. On Monday, Chancellor Olaf Scholz issued a statement describing Russian oil and gas as "essential" for European energy security.
"At the moment, Europe's supply of energy for heat generation, mobility, power supply and industry cannot be secured in any other way," than by importing from Russia, the statement read. "It is therefore of essential importance for the provision of public services and the daily lives of our citizens."
In addition to counting on Russia for a third of its imported oil, Germany relies on Russia for more than half of its total gas supply.
Banning Russian energy imports is therefore far less tenable in Germany than in the US or UK, both of which issued bans on Tuesday. London banned oil imports, while Washington banned both oil and gas. However, both countries source only around 8% of their oil from Russia, with the UK importing 4% of its gas supply from Russia and the US importing next to zero.
Compounding Germany's reliance is the fact that the country's push toward green energy hasn't yielded the desired results. Coal plants were restarted last year as there wasn't enough wind to power the country's windmills, and even before the current spike in energy costs as a result of sanctions and market uncertainty over Ukraine, German electricity costs were already the highest in the world and rising.
Yet as an EU member, Germany will eventually see itself weaned off Russian fuels. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced on Tuesday that the EU would reduce its demand for Russian gas by two thirds before the end of the year, and phase out Russian fossil fuels before 2030.

Lavrov said the UN were threatened by US to vote against Russia because their children are in US colleges etc. The politicians like Graham are freaked by both parties that hold dirt.

Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky acknowledges applause after an address via video link to an extraordinary session on Ukraine at the European Parliament in Brussels,
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky received a huge round of applause after addressing the European Parliament by videolink on Tuesday as his country battles to hold back invading Russian forces.
The address by Zelensky - who has become a global icon of defiance in the face of Moscow's aggression - comes as Kyiv pushes for fast-track membership in the bloc, a request that is sure to infuriate Russian President Vladimir Putin and one that many EU lawmakers seem ready to support.
Zelensky called onEU member states to prove their loyalty to Ukraine and its citizens, who he said were "paying the ultimate price to defend freedom." (Your freedom, we know it all)

In his stirring address, the Ukrainian leader said that "for some people, this is their last day," hailing thecourage and dedication of his "incredible" nation.
"We're giving away our best people. The strongest ones," he said.
"This morning was a very tragic one for us, two cruise missiles hit Kharkiv," he added, referring to what he earlier called an act of "undisguised terror" and a "war crime" by Russia, which reportedly led to at least 10 civilian deaths.
"Without you, Ukraine is going to be alone.We have proven our strength. We have proven that, at a minimum, we are exactly the same as you are.
"Do prove you are with us, do prove that you will not let us go," he urged lawmakers. "Do prove that you are indeed Europeans and then life will win over death and light will win over darkness."
Zelensky argued that the EU would benefit from accepting Ukraine as a member state.

Netflix Joins List of Tech Giants Blocking Content Linked to Russia
U.S. streaming giant Netflix Inc. confirmed it will not add 20 free-to-air Russian TV channels to its platform, which the streaming service could be obligated to carry out under Russian law.
"Given the current situation, we have no plans to add these channels to our service," a Netflix spokesman said in a statement on Monday, referring to Russia's attack on Ukraine.
Politico first reported that Netflix, which launched its service in Russia in October 2020, would fall under the new Russian regulations requiring compliance from March.
The regulations, overseen by Russia's communications regulator, Roskomnadzor, require audiovisual services with more than 100,000 subscribers in that country to distribute 20 free-to-air news, sports, and entertainment channels.
The spokesman did not disclose how it would avoid the regulation and said it is monitoring the situation closely. Netflix's service will continue to be available to people in Russia.
The streaming giant joined a string of major tech companies that have recently blocked content from Russia, including Facebook, Google, Twitter, and Microsoft.
Google barred the likes of RT and Sputnik and several other Russian channels from earning money for ads on their websites, apps, and YouTube videos, in line with recent EU sanctions.
Facebook parent company Meta Platforms on Monday said it will restrict access to Kremlin-backed news outlets RT, formerly known as Russia Today, and Sputnik on its platforms across the European Union.
Elsewhere, Twitter said it is adding labels and reducing the visibility for tweets containing content from websites like RT and Sputnik, while Microsoft said it would remove RT apps from its app store, no longer display any state-sponsored RT and Sputnik content, and de-rank search results from Bing in an effort to "exposure of Russian state propaganda, as well to ensure our own platforms do not inadvertently fund these operations."
The move by the companies come after European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Feb. 27 said the EU would ban RT and Sputnik, which she referred to as the "Kremlin's media machine."
"The state-owned Russia Today and Sputnik, and their subsidiaries, will no longer be able to spread their lies to justify Putin's war," von der Leyen said. "We are developing tools to ban their toxic and harmful disinformation in Europe."

EU Hits Belarus With New Sanctions As Pentagon Says "No Indication" Its Troops In Ukraine
On Wednesday the European Union approved fresh sanctions on Belarus for its role in facilitating the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which started last Thursday. While from the start there have been conflicting reports over the extent to which Belarus actually has forces or military assets on the ground inside Ukraine, it's clear that Minsk allowed its territory to be used as a staging ground for Russian forces to come from the north.
"The sanctions target Belarusian officials and military personnel that the EU says were involved with Russia's aggression against Ukraine, according to a tweet from the French presidency of the EU," The Hill reports.
The French statement further specified the actions are against "Certain sectors of the Belarusian economy, in particular the wood, steel and potash sectors."
This follows the initial EU announcement Sunday that it would soon impose penalties on "Belarusians helping the Russian war effort."
"Lukashenko's regime is complicit in this vicious attack against Ukraine. So we will hit Lukashenko's regime with a new package of sanctions," EU President Ursula von der Leyen had stated previously.
The fresh sanctions correspond with the US Treasury also targeting some top Belarusian officials.
Ukrainian officials themselves have widely alleged the presence of Belarusian forces assisting in the invasion. "Belarusian troops have entered Chernihiv region. The information was confirmed to the public by Vitaliy Kyrylov, spokesman for the North Territorial Defense Forces. More details later," Ukraine's parliament information service tweeted earlier.
Belarus had been swift to reject the accusations, with President Lukashenko asserting, "No decisions were made by me." He added: "And without my decision, these units cannot even be withdrawn from the barracks."
According to Politico, the Pentagon and US intelligence has yet to see evidence that Belarusian forces are directly involved inside Ukraine's territory:
In Washington, a U.S. defense official briefing reporters said the U.S. had "no confirmation that the Belarusians are entering Ukraine, we've seen no indication of that."
And Belarusian leader Alexander Lukashenko denied that his country's military has joined Russia's attack.

Facebook, Twitter, Google, TikTok, Netflix Block Content From All Russian Media Outlets Following EU's Demands
Tech giants including Google, Facebook, Twitter and Netflix are colluding to assure westerners only receive one narrative surrounding coverage of the conflict in Ukraine in an effort to stop the spread of misinformation.
Following pressure from European Union officials, social media giants and big tech platforms are now restricting Russian news networks RT and Sputnik from using their platforms.
On Saturday, Meta and Google demonetized and banned advertising from RT and other Russian-backed channels, barring the companies from earning revenue from content that supported the invasion.
But the EU demanded the tech giants take additional steps to censor and ban disinformation agents.
On Sunday, the EU announced it would ban Kremlin-based media outlets and take "unprecedented measures to censor Russian disinformation.
"The state-owned Russia Today and Sputnik, as well as their subsidiaries, will no longer be able to spread their lies to justify Putin's war and to sow division in our Union," said the EU's president, Ursula von der Leyen. "So we are developing tools to ban their toxic and harmful disinformation in Europe."
EU industry chief Thierry Breton then insisted Google executives ban users pushing war propaganda as part of measures to stop disinformation after Russia's invasion of Ukraine and recommended the companies updated terms and conditions to allow users who disseminate war propaganda to be kicked off their platforms, Reuters reports.
"Freedom of expression does not cover war propaganda. For too long, content from Russia Today and other Russian state media has been amplified by algorithms and proposed as 'recommended content' to people who had never requested it," Breton said in a statement after a video call with Google CEO Sundar Pichai and YouTube CEO Susan Wojcicki. "War propaganda should never be recommended content - what is more, it should have no place on online platforms at all. I count on the tech industry to take urgent and effective measures to counter disinformation."

Thousands of Russian tourists stranded after flight bans
Travel agencies are scrambling to find alternative routes
Thousands of travelers had their flights home canceled after the EU and Canada closed their airspace to Russia airlines in response to Moscow's attack on Ukraine.
More than 27,000 tourists were left stranded in Europe, the Caribbean, the US, and other places, according to a statement by the Travel Agencies' Association of Russia on Monday.
Around 200 holidaymakers were stuck on Madeira, a Portuguese island in the western Atlantic. On Sunday, an emergency flight to take them home was forced to make a U-turn mid-air and return to Moscow.
Travel agencies are scrambling to find alternative routes for their clients as many airlines canceled flights not only to Europe, but to North and Central America. Aeroflot, Russia's flagship passenger carrier, canceled flights to New York, Washington, Miami, Los Angeles, as well as Cancun, Mexico, the Travel Agencies' Association of Russia said.
Egypt and Turkey, popular spots among Russian tourists, remain open, Russia's top tourism official, Zarina Doguzova, said on Tuesday.
Countries began shutting down airspace for Russian airlines shortly after Moscow invaded its neighbor on Thursday, arguing that it was defending the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, which broke off from Ukraine after the 2014 coup in Kiev. Ukraine said the attack was completely unprovoked and appeal to the international community for help.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced on Sunday that the skies of the whole EU were closed to Russian aircraft.
Moscow responded in kind, banning flights of airlines from 36 states and territories.
The US, UK, and EU imposed sweeping sanctions on Russia, hitting its banks and trade.

Ukraine President Calls for 'Immediate' EU Membership Under 'Special Procedure'
President Volodymyr Zelensky is calling for both a ceasefire and for Ukraine's "immediate" accession to the European Union as his government holds peace talks with a Kremlin delegation in the Russian client state of Belarus.
While the former Soviet Socialist Republic would not qualify for EU membership under normal circumstances, President Zelensky has said that he is "confident" that his country could be admitted to bloc "under a new special procedure".
"We appeal to the European Union for Ukraine's immediate accession under a new special procedure," the comic actor turned wartime leader said at a press conference on Monday.
Zelensky said he was grateful to Ukraine's "partners" in the European Union for their support so far - initially rather dubious but recently strengthened with an unprecedented plan to finance ?500 million (?418,300,000/$561,160,000) in arms shipments - but said that his countrymen's goal is to "stand alongside all Europeans and, most importantly to stand on their level" as EU citizens.
"I am confident that this is fair. I am confident that we deserve this. I am confident that all this is possible," he added.
The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, had earlier told EU-funded media organisation Euronews on the subject of Ukrainian EU membership: "They belong to us. They are one of us and we want them in" - but preceded this with the caveat that this should happen "over time".
Ukrainian membership of the EU in the current circumstances would not only present migratory and economic concerns, under its Free Movement migration regime and common budget, but w0uld also bring defence considerations, as its treaties include a NATO-style common defence clause requiring most member-states to assist any "victim of armed aggression on its territory" by "all the means in their power".
The EU's efforts to expand into Ukraine in the last decade arguably sowed the seeds of the current conflict, with the so-called Euromaidan movement overthrowing former Ukrainian president Viktor Yanukovych in 2014 after he rejected a proposed EU Association Agreement in favour of a Russian deal, and Russia responding to the coup by annexing the Crimea and backing a pro-Russia separatist uprising in the Donbas.

Ukraine's EU membership 'not on the agenda' - Borrell
Despite President Zelensky wanting entry fast-tracked, the bloc isn't talking accession yet, top diplomat says Ukraine's EU membership 'not on the agenda' - Borrell
The European Union's High Representative for Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell said on Monday that membership for Ukraine is currently "not on the agenda," with the Russian offensive a more pressing issue. Earlier, President Volodymyr Zelensky asked the EU for Kiev's "immediate accession."
Speaking before a meeting of the bloc's defense ministers, Borrell told reporters that his immediate focus was to "provide an answer for the coming hours, not the coming years." While he did not rule out membership, Borrell said that providing military assistance to Ukraine was a more pressing issue, describing Russia's military attack as "an existential threat" to Europe.
Hours beforehand, Zelensky urged the union to grant the "immediate accession of Ukraine via a new special procedure." In a video address, Zelensky said that "our goal is to be together with all Europeans and, most importantly, to be on an equal footing. I'm sure it's fair. I'm sure it's possible."
On Sunday, EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that there is a "process with Ukraine that is, for example, integrating the Ukrainian market into the single market," adding "they are one of us and we want them."
Several EU states, among them Poland, Hungary, and Lithuania, have signaled their support for Ukraine's EU accession.
Ukraine's membership in the union, however, has caused divisions in the country before, and helped precipitate the current conflict. When democratically-elected President Viktor Yanukovych refused to sign an accession treaty with the EU in 2013, mass protests broke out and with the support of the US, Yanukovych was deposed a year later and pro-Western leader Petro Poroshenko took his place.
Following Crimea's rejoining of Russia by referendum, Poroshenko ordered a massive military offensive against the breakaway republics of Donetsk and Lugansk. The conflict in these regions, which collectively make up the Donbass, continued at low intensity for eight years, until Russian President Vladimir Putin recognized their independence last week, immediately before launching a large-scale military operation in Ukraine

EU Closes Airspace To All Russian Planes, Bans Media Outlets, After Ukraine Agrees To Hold Talks
Update (1200ET): Despite the relatively positive news that Ukraine has agreed to talks with Russia, the European Union has issued a notable escalation in its 'sanctions' against Russia.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Sunday that the 27-nation bloc will close its airspace to Russian airlines, fund supplies of weapons to Ukraine and ban some pro-Kremlin media outlets in response to Russia's invasion.
"For the first time ever, the European Union will finance the purchase and delivery of weapons and other equipment to a country that is under attack."
von der Leyen added that "we are shutting down the EU airspace for Russians. We are proposing a prohibition on all Russian-owned, Russian registered or Russian-controlled aircraft. These aircraft will no more be able to land in, take off or overfly the territory of the EU."
She said also the EU will ban "the Kremlin's media machine. The state-owned Russia Today and Sputnik, as well as their subsidiaries, will no longer be able to spread their lies to justify Putin's war and to sow division in our union."
"We are developing tools to ban their toxic and harmful disinformation in Europe."

EU to ban RT and Sputnik
European Commission president announces bloc-wide ban on Russian media outlets
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced on Sunday that the EU will ban the Russian media outlets RT and Sputnik accusing them of spreading "harmful disinformation." She did not specify whether this ban will apply solely to television broadcasts, or whether RT and Sputnik's websites will be affected.
In what she called an "unprecedented" step, von der Leyen announced that "we will ban in the European Union the Kremlin's media machine."
"The state owned Russia Today and Sputnik, as well as their subsidiaries, will no longer be able to spread their lies to justify Putin's war and to sow division in our union," she continued. "We are developing tools to ban toxic and harmful disinformation in Europe."
von der Leyen's move comes a day after the Association of European Journalists called on the EU to implement a bloc-wide ban on RT, and have its journalists "removed." It also comes several days after the EU sanctioned RT's editor-in-chief, Margarita Simonyan.
Simonyan responded to the latest ban by declaring that "not a single person who faithfully worked and continues to work for us will be laid off in any country."
We know how to do our job in the conditions of bans. These freedom-loving people have been preparing us for this for eight years.
RT has previously faced censorship in Europe, with German regulators banning its German-language channel earlier this month. More recently, Google subsidiary YouTube and Facebook parent company Meta demonetized RT's accounts on Saturday, while Google blocked downloads of RT's app on Ukrainian territory earlier on Sunday.
Immediately before announcing the ban on RT and Sputnik, von der Leyen revealed that the EU will also close off its airspace to all Russian aircraft, and will supply Ukraine with weapons.

EU, US Agree To Expel "Selected Russian Banks" From SWIFT, Sanction Russian Central Bank
(Update 5:10pm ET): In the latest major escalation, late on Saturday European nations together with the US have issued a joint statement in which they announce the following restrictive economic measuresthings:
Commit to ensuring that "selected Russian banks" are removed from the SWIFT messaging system: "This will ensure that these banks are disconnected from the international financial system and harm their ability to operate globally."
Commit to imposing "restrictive measures that will prevent the Russian Central Bank from deploying its international reserves in ways that undermine the impact of our sanctions."
Commit to "acting against the people and entities who facilitate the war in Ukraine" by taking measures to limit the sale of citizenship, so called golden passports, that let wealthy Russians connected to the Russian government become citizens
Commit to launching "a transatlantic task force that will ensure the effective implementation of our financial sanctions by identifying and freezing the assets of sanctioned individuals and companies that exist within our jurisdictions."
Stepping up or coordination against disinformation and other forms of hybrid warfare.
EU Commission president Ursula von der Leyen broke these down further as follows:

Contradicting reports on plane shootdown over Kyiv. Ukrainian military claims their AA shot down a Russian jet, but CNN is reporting that a Russian surface-to-air missile shot down a Ukrainian jet.
CNN reporting now the explosion over Kyiv tonight was a Ukrainian SU-27 shot down by Russian anti-air battery in the city's suburbs. Ukraine has lost the skies over its capital. Grim.
Individuals speculating online suggest that CNN is likely mistaken here; if it was a Russian SAM, Russia would have to be in Kyiv by now - which no reports are confirming.

Q Research General #19866: All According to Plan, Comradnon Edition
E.U. Responds to Russia's Ukraine Aggression: 'Harshest Package' of Sanctions are Coming
The European Union (E.U.) sought to place itself in front of Russia's territorial ambitions Thursday as it announced the "strongest, the harshest package" of sanctions to punish Moscow for the invasion of Ukraine.
No E.U. military action was promised to bolster the threats of sanctions and trade boycotts after the E.U.'s leading nation Germany only sent 5,000 helmets to Ukraine when they asked for military hardware and ammunition in the face of earlier Russian threats.
E.U. President Ursula von der Leyen released a statement in which she condemned Russia's move as a "barbaric attack" accusing Russian President Vladimir Putin "of bringing war back to Europe."
Leyen revealed the European Commission is assembling a "massive and targeted" package of sanctions for European leaders to approve, and if green-lighted "will weaken Russia's economic base and its capacity to modernize." She warned:
In these dark hours, the European Union stand by Ukraine and its people. We are facing an unprecedented act of aggression by the Russian leadership against a sovereign independent country... Russia's target is not only Ukraine, the target is the stability in Europe and the whole of the international peace order, and we will hold President [Vladimir] Putin accountable for that.
von der Layen clarified the sanctions will "target strategic sectors of Russia's economy", "freeze Russian assets in the E.U. and stop access of Russian banks to our financial market", in an effort designed to to "take a heavy toll on the Kremlin's ability to finance war".
Vice-President of the European Commission and E.U. foreign policy chief, Josep Borrell also strongly condemned Russia stating that the current situation is "among the darkest hours for Europe since the end of World War Two", and suggested that "this is not only the greatest violation of international law, it's a violation of the basic principles of human co-existence".

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks with President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen
Today, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke with the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen.
The two leaders condemned in the strongest terms Russia's illegal and illegitimate move to recognize the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People's republics as independent states. They affirmed their intention to impose sanctions in response, as well as their steadfast commitment to the sovereignty, territorial integrity, and independence of Ukraine.
The Prime Minister stressed that Russia's actions threaten peace and order in Europe and around the world, are blatant violations of international law, and will not be tolerated. The two leaders urgently called on Russia to de-escalate tensions and pursue a diplomatic solution to the situation. They committed to continue close coordination with Allies and partners, including Ukraine. They emphasized that any further military incursion into Ukraine would have serious consequences, including coordinated sanctions.
Prime Minister Trudeau and President von der Leyen agreed to continue coordinating closely.

Over the weekend when a member of Canadian was trying to ask about Klauss Schwabs influence and they said his audio was bad. It is very obvious when you hear them speak against the truckers. Candace Bergan? The Conservative woman lays the smackdoun on Castro. This from Benjamin Fulfords latest blog calls out a few of them.

Even Canadian elected officials aren't allowed to question the World Economic Forum ties to Canada's Parliament - Prepare For Change
This is all coming out now because a growing number of people, and not just so-called "conspiracy theorists," are waking up to the fact our governments have been hijacked by an ancient Satanic cult.
The question is, what are we going to do about it? Since the Queen and many other top leaders were born into this cult and either had to go along or else be sacrificed themselves, this may be a case for a truth and reconciliation process. Time, and public opinion, will tell.
In any case, the issue now is to prevent these Satanic leaders from starting World War III as a get out of jail card.
This brings us to the subject of Ukraine. High-level Rothschild and Rockefeller servants gathered in Berlin last weekend to beat the drums of war there as their response to bankruptcy. These servants include US Vice President Kamala Harris, UN chief Antonio Guterres, EU Commission head Ursula von der Leyen, NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov notes that Albania, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina are sending "mercenaries" to fight in Ukraine,
What has to happen now in the real world is that we have to permanently remove these people from power. This brings us back to Canada where people in reality-based businesses like trucking and farming have successfully overthrown the Satanic Rothschild government of Justin Castro.
Castro is now under house arrest. Also, here is the answer from the Canadian Secret Intelligence Service to the Canadian MP's question about who in the government works for the Rothschild World Economic Forum:
-Justin Trudeau - Prime Minister
-Chrystia Freeland - CA Deputy Prime Minister & Minister of Finance
-Katrina Gould - Minister of Families, Children and Social Dev., Empl and Social Dev -Francois-Philippe Champagne - Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, Innovation, Science and Economic Dev. CA
-Ailish Campbell - Canada's Ambassador to the EU
-Elissa Golberg - Asst. Deputy Minister for Strategic Policy, Global Affairs Canada -Renee Maria Tremblay - Senior Counsel Supreme Court of CA
-Jagmeet Singh - Leader, New Democratic Party - in lock step policy-wise with J. Trudeau throughout the pandemic.
A CSIS source adds "Brother, according to ELECTIONS CANADA, the number of lost/missing ballots was greater than the margin of Justin Trudeau's election win in 2021. His share of registered voters was 20.3%. He is not a valid PM, based on the math of Elections Canada!!!!"Cheating was greater than margin of victory??

Pfizer's CEO Albert Bourla's Text Messages with EU Commission President Ursula von de Leyen
EU Ombudsman report
The European Commission's denial of access to text messages between Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla amounts to 'maladministration', the EU Ombudsman found.
The text messages were sent while the EU was securing COVID-19 vaccine contracts, but the Commission claimed they had not "identified" them when asked by a journalist. The New York Times first reported their existence in April 2021.
This resulted in a complaint to Ombudsman Emily O'Reilly, who made her verdict clear on Friday (28 January), stressing that the European Commission must "do a more extensive search for the relevant messages."
"The narrow way in which this public access request was treated meant that no attempt was made to identify if any text messages existed. This falls short of reasonable expectations of transparency and administrative standards in the Commission," O'Reilly said in a press statement.
Her report found that the search carried out by the Commission was limited to an internal record of documents where such texts would not be stored. Furthermore, it was revealed that the president's personal office had not been asked about the messages.
She concluded that this amounted to a case of maladministration and fell far short of transparency levels expected under EU law.
von der Leyen's cabinet was initially asked to dig out documents fulfilling the Commission's internal criteria for recording. According to these internal criteria, text messages are not required to be recorded along with other means of communication.
However, this was not enough to satisfy O'Reilly, who urged the Commission to change its practice.
"Not all text messages need to be recorded, but text messages clearly do fall under the EU transparency law, and so relevant text messages should be recorded," O'Reilly pointed out, adding that it is "not credible to claim otherwise".
The deadline for the Commission's response to the Ombudsman is 26 April.

European Parliament President David Sassoli dies at age 65
David Sassoli, an Italian journalist who worked his way up in politics while defending the downtrodden and repressed to become president of the European Union's parliament, died at a hospital in Italy early Tuesday. He was 65.
European Council President Charles Michel called Sassoli a "sincere and passionate European. We already miss his human warmth, his generosity, his friendliness and his smile."
No details were provided in a tweet by Sassoli's spokesperson, Roberto Cuillo.
Sassoli, a socialist, had been hospitalized since Dec. 26 because of abnormal functioning of his immune system, Cuillo said in a statement released the day before Sassoli's death.
Sassoli had been struggling for months with poor health after he suffered pneumonia caused by the legionella bacteria in September. His health steadily declined afterward and he was forced to miss several important legislative meetings. Yet, as much as possible, he stayed on the job, where his vigor and easy smile had always been a trademark. He was at his strongest when he took up the cause of migrants who died crossing the Mediterranean or dissidents such as Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who is taking on the Kremlin from a jail cell.
"Everyone loved his smile and his kindness, yet he knew how to fight for what he believed in," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, reminiscing how a much younger Sassoli had traveled to Germany to see the infamous Berlin Wall come down well over three decades ago.
European unity was his benchmark, just as much as justice among all Europeans was.
Over the past few months, he improved enough to preside over a European Parliament session in December to give the EU's main human rights award, the Sakharov Prize, to Navalny's daughter. High in symbolism, it showed him at his best. A few weeks later, his wishes for the new year became his political testament as an optimist with great expectations.
"We can be that hope when we don't ignore those in need. When we don't build walls on our borders. When we fight all forms of injustice. Here's to us, here's to hope," he said in the address.
"In the final week of December there was a worsening of the illness, and then the final days of his battle," Cuillo told Italy's Sky TG24.
He is survived by his wife, Alessandra Vittorini, and his children, Livia and Giulio. Flags flew half-staff and the European Parliament opened a condolences register. The European Commission will hold a minute of silence when it meets on Wednesday.
A lifelong fan of Fiorentina football club, he emulated the fine style of the team where Gabriel Batistuta and Roberto Baggio thrived. But in the end, like the Florence club, he also lacked the final touch to reach the very highest level. Being head of the European Parliament doesn't compare to being prime minister or leading the European Commission or Council.

EU Drafting Law Allowing Seizure of Private Property During Pandemic Emergencies: Report
The European Union is reportedly drafting a law that will allow Brussels to seize private property during a pandemic emergency.
In a leaked New Year message to his staff, the EU's Internal Market Commissioner Thierry Breton has outlined plans for a "Single Market Emergency Instrument" that will have a "toolbox of measures" in order to ensure the "security of supply during a crisis".
The measures are expected to be proposed in the Spring and are believed to potentially include controls on exports and also new powers for the EU to obtain information from companies on production, stockpiles, and their supply chains, POLITICO reports.
In his message, Breton justified the need for the new power by stating that the European Union "will not allow corporate interests to interfere with the greater interest of the European people."
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has also expressed a desire for an EU Single Market Emergency Instrument to help "fast-track decisions, whenever a critical situation emerges".
While a bloc-wide system would be novel, several European Union member states have already attempted to seize private goods destined for other nations during the pandemic.
France was accused of displaying "a lack of European solidarity" when it was alleged to have blocked a shipment of "hundreds of thousands" of masks to Italy and Spain in order to bolster domestic supplies.
France also targeted the United Kingdom with aggressive "requisition" policies, including when the Macron government seized three British lorries carrying 130,000 masks and hand sanitiser intended for UK healthcare workers. The healthcare supplies were eventually allowed to be transported to Britain, but only after the UK government stepped in.
At the time, Eurosceptic former Conservative Party leader Sir Iain Duncan Smith commented on the ordeal: "This shows you all you need to know about European co-operation".

EU regulator approves fifth Covid-19 vaccine
The European Medicines Agency (EMA) has recommended the use of a Covid-19 vaccine made by US-based biotech firm Novavax for people aged 18 and older. Trial data suggests the vaccine is 90% effective.
On Monday, the EMA backed the use of Nuvaxovid, a vaccine developed by Novavax, for adults, making it the fifth Covid shot to date to be given the green light by the bloc's drugs regulator.
"After a thorough evaluation, the EMA's human medicines committee (CHMP) concluded by consensus that the data on the vaccine was robust and met the EU criteria for efficacy, safety and quality," the agency said.
The EMA cited two large studies undertaken by the biotech firm in which the vaccine demonstrated efficacy of around 90% against strains of Covid-19 prevalent during the trials. The body admitted that there was limited data on some variants of concern, including Omicron.
The shot has been billed by some as an important development in overcoming vaccine hesitancy as Novavax's jab is a protein vaccine which uses the same inoculation technology already used for decades against hepatitis, shingles, and other viral infections.
It requires two doses and is stable at refrigerated temperatures of between two and eight degrees Celsius. Data suggests only mild to moderate side effects are experienced by recipients.
Later on Monday, the European Commission approved the use of the US-developed vaccine. "With five approved vaccines, the EU has a varied portfolio, based both on novel technologies, such as mRNA, and classic ones, like Novavax, which is protein-based," Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, said on Twitter.
The approval comes amid a sharp wave of new Covid-19 infections, driven by the Omicron variant. The vaccine had been undergoing a rolling review since February, and Novavax said it would start delivering to the EU in the first quarter of 2022.
It is expected that the UK will also approve the jab in the coming weeks. Novavax is yet to apply for approval in the US, where it has had to resolve manufacturing issues.
The firm's share price jumped by more than 10% on Friday after the World Health Organization approved the shot made on license by the Serum Institute of India.

Any Aggression Against Ukraine Will Lead to New 'Massive' Sanctions, EU Warns Russia
The head of the European Union's executive commission warned Russia on Dec. 15 that the 27-member bloc has additional sanctions ready if Moscow would invade neighboring Ukraine.
"I want to reaffirm our unwavering commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity," Ursula von der Leyen told EU lawmakers on Wednesday, expressing concern over reports of Russia's "massive build-up of military aid along Ukraine's eastern border."
von der Leyen told the European Parliament that there are already economic sanctions in place targeting multiple Russian sectors due to the country's annexation of Ukraine's Crimea Peninsula in 2014 and actions since that the West sees as increasingly aggressive.
"There's a whole set of economic sanctions in place targeting the financial and energy sector, dual-use goods, and defense," von der Leyen said.
"Our response to any further aggression may take the form of a robust scaling-up and expansion of these existing sanctions," she added. "And of course we are ready to take additional, unprecedented measures with serious consequences for Russia."
She did not elaborate on what form any new sanctions would take.
Also on Wednesday, Ukraine's Security and Defense Council Secretary Alexey Danilov told news agency Reuters that there is no evidence Moscow is preparing for an imminent invasion.
"Nothing has changed [over the last few days on the Russian-Ukrainian border]," Danilov said during an interview with the network. "There has been some increase in [Russia's] troop numbers but not critical enough for us to say: this is it, it [an invasion] is going to happen now," he added.
von der Leyen's warning comes days after the Group of Seven (G-7) on Dec. 12 induced a similar warning after it held a two-day summit in the English city of Liverpool.

All 17 people with suspected Omicron at 'superspreader' Oslo Xmas party were vaccinated, officials say
Almost half of the 120 attendees who went to a Oslo work party caught Covid-19, including 17 suspected of having the Omicron variant, city officials confirmed - all the staff had been double vaccinated and tested negative before attending the Nov. 26 event. (NYT)
Norway has now enforced all entrants to the country to take a Covid test within 24hrs, while high infection rate areas have full mask mandates. Last week European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen even proposed a vaccine mandate across the entire EU to tackle the Omicron variant.
Official national figures put confirmed cases at 13 on Friday in what is now the biggest Omicron outbreak outside of South Africa, with more cases expected.

Covid Omicron: Time to consider mandatory jabs, EU chief says
European Union countries should consider mandatory vaccination to combat Covid and the Omicron variant, the head of its Commission has said.
Ursula von der Leyen said vaccines would be crucial in the fight against the "highly contagious" new variant.
Some two dozen countries have reported cases of Omicron, and the EU has tightened travel restrictions since it was first reported earlier this month.
European countries have also been facing a wider spike in cases.
The World Health Organization (WHO), meanwhile, said early signs were that most cases of the Omicron variant were "mild".
On Wednesday, Ms von der Leyen said it was "understandable and appropriate" for EU members to discuss mandatory Covid vaccinations given that a third of the bloc's population was unvaccinated.
"How we can encourage and potentially think about mandatory vaccination within the European Union? This needs discussion. This needs a common approach, but it is a discussion that I think has to be led," she told a news conference in Brussels.
Only individual EU states can enforce vaccine mandates and some are already taking steps in that direction.
Austria has announced compulsory Covid vaccinations from February next year, while Greece is fining all unvaccinated over-60s ?100 (?85) a month.
Germany's incoming Chancellor, Olaf Scholz, has said he supports compulsory jabs. In an interview with Bild television, Mr Scholz said he wanted compulsory vaccinations from March and also said a faster rollout of booster jabs was needed.
'No sign vaccines won't work'
The WHO, which declared Omicron "of concern" on Friday following its rapid spread in South Africa, says it will know more about the new variant within days.
Omicron is becoming the dominant Covid strain in South Africa, where the daily number of recorded cases doubled on Wednesday. Officials there say the variant could be fuelling the surge.
However, the WHO has already said it believes existing vaccines "will still prevent severe disease" among people who contract the new variant.
Asked about the severity of cases, WHO epidemiologist Dr Maria van Kerkhove said: "There is some indication that some of the patients are presenting with mild disease.
"There is still suggestion of increased hospitalisations across South Africa but this could be the sheer fact that we have more cases, and if you have more cases you have more hospitalisations."
The US on Wednesday became the latest country to report a case of Omicron. Other nations include Nigeria, Norway and South Korea. Several countries have tightened their borders to halt the spread of Omicron.
But the WHO warned against "punitive" travel measures imposed on southern African countries.
WHO head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said he was concerned about "blunt, blanket measures", which "will only worsen inequities".
Dr Van Kerkhove said travel bans imposed on South Africa had created problems for shipping virus samples.
The US, which has already banned foreign travellers from eight African countries, has ordered airlines to tell it the names of passengers who have been there.

Germany Announces National Lockdown for the Unvaccinated
Germany's leadership on Thursday announced it will lock down unvaccinated people as top officials also signaled they would back plans for mandatory vaccinations in the coming months.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said that individuals who aren't vaccinated for COVID-19 will be excluded from nonessential stores, cultural, and recreational venues. The Bundestag, Germany's Parliament, will also consider a general vaccination mandate, she added.
"The situation is our country is serious," Merkel told reporters, claiming the new measures are an "act of national solidarity."
The German chancellor said masks will be required in schools, and there will be restrictions on private meetings. Vaccinated people, Merkel added, will lose their vaccination status nine months after receiving their last shot.
"We have understood that the situation is very serious and that we want to take further measures in addition to those already taken," Merkel, who is slated to leave office soon, told reporters. "The fourth wave must be broken and this has not yet been achieved," she added.
Numerous studies have shown that fully vaccinated people still have the ability to transmit and contract COVID-19, although some health officials have said that vaccines can protect better against severe symptoms, hospitalization, and death. On Thursday, the Minnesota Department of Health confirmed that the second U.S. case of the Omicron COVID-19 variant was a fully vaccinated male.
Critics of vaccine passport systems, which have drawn weekly protests across Europe, have said they unjustly create a two-tiered society of vaccinated and unvaccinated people. Concerns have been raised about whether vaccine passports could be expanded to become a "social credit" system and if the mass collection of vaccination data could breach individual privacy rights.
In recent weeks, Austria and Greece also announced that vaccinations will be mandatory for everyone aged 60 and older. Those who refuse will face fines for each passing month, said the Greek government earlier this week.
Such rules, however, may be extended to other European Union countries, said European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Wednesday.

EU Advice to Ban Terms Like 'Christmas Time' to Be Inclusive Withdrawn After Backlash
European Commission Guidelines for Inclusive Communication
https://www.fdesouche.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/guidelines-for-Inclusive-communication.pdf
The European Commission will be "looking into" a internal document that advised bureaucrats to avoid terms like "Christmas time" to be more inclusive after the paper leaked to an Italian newspaper.
The document, entitled "European Commission Guidelines for Inclusive Communication", gives advice to Commission employees for all communications including press releases, social media posts, speeches, and training materials.
Under the section labelled "cultures, lifestyles and beliefs", the document recommends Commission employees refrain from using the term "Christmas time", arguing that because Christmas is not celebrated by everyone in the European Union, they should use the term "holiday times" instead.
Guidance, first reported on by the Italian newspaper Il Giornale with the entire document later distributed by French news website Fdesouche.com, also discourages the term "Christian name", which should instead be replaced with "first name" or "forename".
Commission employees are also encouraged to use names from different ethnic and religious backgrounds in their communications material, giving the example: "Malika and Julio are an international couple."
While much of the document is comprised of language suggestions, there are some rules which are labelled as being mandatory, such as "never" using gendered language like policeman as a default, not using the term "Mr" or "Mrs", and always addressing an audience as "dear colleagues" - "never" as "ladies and gentlemen".
The EU publication also states that workers should "be mindful of the negative connotations of terms such as colonisation or settlement", going so far as to suggest the use of the phrase "sending humans to Mars" rather than speak of the future colonisation of the red planet.
Il Giornale published the report over the weekend, prompting criticism from Italian politicians, such as national conservative Brother of Italy (FdI) leader Giorgia Meloni who stated: "Enough is enough: our history and our identity will not be erased."
Spanish MEP Jorge Buxad?, a member of the populist party VOX, also commented on the document on Twitter, telling European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen: "We are going to say Christmas, Mary, Bethlehem, Joseph, Jesus and whatever we want, when we want."
The Commission subsequently walked back the guidance, with the European Commission's Commissioner for Equality Helena Dalli, a long-serving Maltese left-wing politician calling the document - which she had previously posed for a picture holding at its launch - a "work in progress".
Dalli said in a statement issued through the Commission and shared by her on social media that her intention for the document has been "to illustrate the diversity of European culture", a mission she called an "important aim". Nevertheless, she said, "the guidelines clearly need more work. I therefore withdraw the guidelines and will work further on this document".
The uncovering of the content of the communication guidelines comes just months after Simona Baldassarre, a Member of the European Parliament for Matteo Salvini's League, highlighted a glossary for EU officials which banned terms like "mother" and "father".

Interpol Elects Emirati General Accused of Torture as New President
Istanbul (AFP) - An Emirati general accused of torture was elected president of Interpol Thursday, despite the concerns of human rights organisations who fear the agency will be at risk of exploitation by repressive regimes.
The decision follows generous funding by the United Arab Emirates for the Lyon, France-based body and accusations Abu Dhabi has abused Interpol's system of so-called "red notices" for wanted suspects to persecute political dissidents.
Emirati General Ahmed Nasser Al Raisi was elected following three rounds of voting during which he received 68.9 percent of votes cast by member countries, Interpol said in a statement.
Raisi, head of the UAE's security forces, will take on a largely ceremonial and voluntary role for a four-year term.
It is Interpol Secretary General Juergen Stock who handles day-to-day management of the organisation. Stock was given a second five-year term in 2019.
South Korean Kim Jong-yang was president since the 2018 arrest of his predecessor Meng Hongwei in China, where he had served as a vice minister of public security.
Complaints of "torture" were filed against the Emirati general in recent months in France and Turkey, which is hosting Interpol's general assembly in Istanbul this week.
Only the Czech Republic's Sarka Havrankova, a veteran officer overseeing the country's international cooperation in police matters, stood against the general for the post.
'Undermine Interpol'
Raisi joined the Emirati police force in 1980 and worked there for several decades.
Three European Parliament members wrote a letter dated November 11 to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to warn of the impact the general's appointment would have on Interpol.
"The election of General Al Raisi would undermine the mission and reputation of Interpol and severely affect the ability of the organisation to carry out its mission effectively," they wrote.
And in October 2020, 19 NGOs, including Human Rights Watch, expressed concern about the possible choice of Raisi, whom they described as being "part of a security apparatus that continues to systematically target peaceful critics".
One of the complainants against Raisi, British national Matthew Hedges, said he was detained and tortured between May and November 2018 in the United Arab Emirates after he was arrested on false charges of espionage during a study trip.

Poland Will Not Be "Blackmailed" Into Accepting European Union Laws, PM Morawiecki Says
Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said on Thursday that his country will not bow to the European Union's "blackmail" on deciding legal frameworks of member states, but is open to constructive dialogue.
Arriving at a summit of the 27-member bloc, Morawiecki said that Poland "was as faithful to the rule of law as others and as the EU institutions are." He added,
"Some EU institutions assume the right to decide on issues to which they have not been entitled to decide. They assume competencies which have not been handed over to them in the treaties."
Morawiecki said that EU laws maintain supremacy over national laws on matters transferred to the EU. "We don't agree to the constantly broadening range of competencies but we will, of course, talk about it."
On Oct. 7, Poland's Constitutional Tribunal ruled that some elements of EU law were incompatible with the country's constitution. This ruling, criticized by Brussels, essentially gave national law primacy over that of the EU.
"It has to be clear: You are a member of a club, you have to abide by the rules of the club. And the most important rule of the club is that the European law is over national law," the EU's top diplomat, Josep Borrell, told Reuters.
Since the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party took over power in 2015, the ideological conflicts have incrementally increased.
European Parliament President David Sassoli said the Polish tribunal's ruling challenged "the legal bedrock of our Union," and that, "never before has the Union been called into question so radically."
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen laid out three options as a response.
The first option, "infringement," is where the commission legally challenges the verdict of the Polish court.
The second option, which is active currently, involves the withholding of funds. Warsaw will not be able to access the 36 billion euros ($42 billion) of COVID-19 pandemic recovery grants. This could lead to a further blockage of around 70 billion euros ($81 billion) set aside for development projects in the 2021-2027 budget.
The third option would be the implementation of Article 7 of the EU treaty which suspends member states of certain rights, including the right to vote on EU decisions.

Poland will bow to EU's demands and dissolve Supreme Court disciplinary chamber, country's prime minister announces
Poland's prime minister has announced that his government will dissolve the disciplinary chamber of the country's Supreme Court after the EU condemned the chamber for threatening the "unity of the European legal order."
Speaking to EU officials at the European Parliament, Polish leader Mateusz Morawiecki accepted that the chamber "did not meet our expectations," agreeing to dissolve the "mechanisms that were introduced."
There was a question about the disciplinary chamber of the Supreme Court. Yes. We intend to dissolve it.
The announcement by Poland's prime minister marks the conclusion of a row between Warsaw and Brussels over concerns that its disciplinary chamber made EU law subordinate to national law, sparking a reprimand from European officials.
To prevent future disagreements between member states descending into the row that's broken out between Poland and the EU, Morawiecki called on the EU Court of Justice to establish a chamber that can act as an arbiter for disputes within the bloc.
Earlier on Tuesday, the European Commission's chief, Ursula von der Leyen, outlined three options following Poland's previous defense of its judicial policy. First, a legal challenge from Poland could end in fines. Second, the EU could block funds to Poland's government. Third, the EU could use Article 7 of the Treaty on the European Union to suspend rights to Poland.
Poland's leader had pushed back on the EU's threats, by warning that it risked making the bloc a "centrally managed organism," rather than a partnership of member states. "Unfortunately, today we are dealing with a very dangerous phenomenon whereby various European Union institutions usurp powers they do not have under the Treaties and impose their will on Member States," Morawiecki had warned.

Biden Climate Pact Hobbles US Manufacturing And Agriculture But Gives China, India, Russia A Pass
Some of the world's top emitters of methane haven't signed a global effort to curb how much of the greenhouse gas is emitted by 2030.
Forcefully cutting methane emissions so drastically could significantly harm U.S. agriculture and manufacturing, according to industry groups.
"We appreciate the efforts to address methane emissions, but the unintended consequences of (a methane tax) could prove harmful to families across the country with little environmental benefit," the American Gas Association wrote in a recent letter to top lawmakers.
Some of the world's top emitters of methane haven't signed a global effort to curb how much of the greenhouse gas is emitted by 2030.
The three countries - China, Russia and India - that produce the most methane emissions in the world haven't signed onto the pact, which has been spearheaded by the U.S. and European Union ahead of a major United Nations climate conference. The nations that have signed the agreement represent nearly 30% of global methane emissions, the State Department said Monday.
The U.S. and EU unveiled the Global Methane Pledge on Sept. 18, which they said would be key in the global fight against climate change. The U.K., Italy, Mexico and Argentina were among the seven other countries that immediately signed the agreement last month.
"Methane reductions are the single most effective strategy to reduce global warming in the near term and keep a 1.5 C future within reach," U.S. Special Envoy for Climate John Kerry tweeted after the September announcement. "Join the (pledge) and cut methane 30% by 2030."
On Monday, Kerry and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen announced after a meeting that 24 additional nations had joined the pledge. However, China, Russia and India, which produce more than 33% of the world's methane emissions, remained off the list of signatories.
Australia, Brazil and Iran also didn't join the pledge despite also being among the world's top ten methane emitters.
The nations signing onto the U.S.-EU pledge agreed to cut methane emissions 30% by 2030 compared to 2020 levels. Methane makes up 16% of all global greenhouse gas emissions and is produced by fossil fuels and livestock.
Meanwhile, forcefully cutting methane emissions so drastically could significantly harm U.S. agriculture and manufacturing, according to industry groups. The White House has yet to lay out the policies it would pursue to cut methane by 30%.
A methane tax, for example, would be devastating to U.S. agriculture, the American Farm Bureau said. The National Cattlemen's Beef Association (NCBA) has implored the Biden administration to propose measures, not mandates, that would be voluntary for businesses to implement.

Big Pharma Conglomerate with a Criminal Record: Pfizer "Takes Over" the EU Vaccine Market. 1.8 Billion Doses
There is evidence that Pfizer is routinely involved in bribing numerous politicians at the highest levels of government.
In turn, draconian governmental measures are being applied which consist in instructing people to take the mRNA vaccine, despite ample evidence that this so-called "vaccination program" has already resulted in countless deaths and injuries, most of which are documented by official statistics.
These shots are NOT vaccines. They are not meant to protect you against the virus.
And why on Earth would you trust a Big Pharma company which has a criminal record? Did you know that?
The media has failed to remind us that in 2009 Pfizer Inc. pleaded guilty to criminal charges. It was "The Largest Health Care Fraud Settlement" in the History of the U.S. Department of Justice.
And now Pfizer is upheld as a "Reliable Partner" by the President of the European Commission (EU) representing some 450 million citizens in the EU's 27 countries.
The criminality surrounding the 2020-21 mRNA vaccine far surpasses the 2009 "fraudulent marketing" charges directed against Pfizer.
"Fraudulent marketing" of an illegal and experimental "vaccine" is an understatement.
What is at stake is the outright "Criminalization of the state apparatus" whereby politicians, members of parliament, senior government officials are routinely bribed, coopted or threatened to abide by a diabolical project which is literally destroying people's lives Worldwide.

Inquiry launched into European Commission chief's refusal to hand over text messages she exchanged with Pfizer CEO
The European Ombudsman has demanded that Commission President Ursula von der Leyen explain how she lost text messages that she exchanged with the CEO of Pfizer during talks about vaccine procurement.
European Ombudsman Emily O'Reilly, the EU's top accountability and governance officer, launched an inquiry into the European Commission's refusal to hand over the contents of communications between von der Leyen and a CEO of an unnamed pharmaceutical company about a Covid-19 vaccine contract.
As a first step, O'Reilly asked the Commission to explain its policy on keeping records of von der Leyen's text messages. "The Commission has an obligation to record instant messages relating to important policy or political matters, such as the procurement of Covid-19 vaccines," O'Reilly's office wrote in a statement about the case.
In April, the New York Times reported that von der Leyen had been exchanging texts and calls with Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla for a month as part of negotiations about vaccine procurement for the bloc. The paper wrote at the time that personal diplomacy played a big role in securing the vaccine deal.
O'Reilly requested that the Commission hand over the text messages, but the Commission claimed that "no record had been kept of any such messages," according to the ombudsman's office.
The office has previously warned about the importance of record-keeping within EU institutions amid an increased amount of remote work in the Covid era. "EU administration is required by EU law to draw up and retain documentation pertaining to its activities, as far as possible and in a non-arbitrary and predictable manner," the watchdog said in June.

EU Prez to Member States: Host Afghan Migrants and Get Cash
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has promised financial incentives to European Union member states who take in refugees and asylum seekers from Afghanistan.
President von der Leyen made the announcement after a visit to a reception centre for Afghan EU employees at the Torrejon Air Base in Spain at the weekend and called on member states to take in refugees from the country which recently fell to the Taliban.
"I call on all states that have participated in the missions in Afghanistan, Europeans and others, to allocate sufficient reception quotas so that collectively we can come to the aid of those in need of protection," von der Leyen said, 20 Minutes reports.
"The Commission is ready to consider the necessary budgetary means to support EU Member States that will offer to help refugees settle on their territory," she added.
According to 20 Minutes, it is not clear how many EU member states have agreed to take in Afghan refugees and which have outright refused the offer.
While many countries have aimed at evacuating thousands of Afghans and EU nationals from the airport in Kabul, some aeroplanes have left the airport nearly completely empty.
A German Luftwaffe A-400M transport aircraft, which can seat up to 200 people, transported just seven from Kabul last week, while UK Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer cited NGO reports claiming that UK aircraft had also left Kabul nearly empty.
UK Defence Minister Ben Wallace later countered the claim from the opposition leader saying, "None of our planes are leaving empty. I can't vouch for other nations, but our planes never leave empty. If we have spaces on them, we offer them up for other nations. We took out some NATO interpreters recently, we've taken out some people from other [European states]."
Offering cash to house migrants is not a new policy for the European Union. The bloc has spent billions of euros as a part of the migration deal with Turkey since it was enacted in 2016 and earlier this year offered the government of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan ?3 billion (£2.5 billion/$3.6 billion) more.

"This resettlement of vulnerable people is of utmost importance. It is our moral duty," von der Leyen said. Offering "legal and safe routes globally, organized by us, the international community, for those who need protection" must be a priority of next week's G7 meeting on the Afghanistan crisis, she added.
The EU's top officials toured the facility that Spain has set up at the Torrejón military airbase near Madrid along with Spain's Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, who said it has the capacity to hold 800 people.
Two planes sent by Spain's government have already arrived at the air base. A first plane brought back five Spaniards and 48 Afghans who had worked for Spain and their families. A second flight arrived late on Friday night with 110 more Afghans. A third flight with another 110 passengers has left Kabul for Dubai, which Spain is using as a stop-off point before the evacuees are flown on to Madrid.
The air base is also receiving flights from the European Union External Action service with other evacuees from Afghanistan airlifted out of Kabul by other EU countries.
EU officials and those of member states like Spain, however, recognize that the main hurdle to getting people out of Afghanistan is helping them reach and gain access to the airport. Spain says that its flights have had empty seats.
von der Leyen said EU delegation members are constantly at the airport to try and help. "It is very difficult situation, it is changing by the minutes, but there is intense work being done to make the best of a very difficult situation."
The evacuees that reach Spain's air base are expected to spend up to three days there before moving to welcome centres in other parts of Spain or continuing their journeys to other European countries.
Sánchez said that the response from other EU members has been positive and that part of those who have arrived have already left for other countries in the bloc.

Liberals in Israeli coalition govt challenge Defense Ministry over reports NSO malware was used to monitor reporters and activists
The head of Israel's Meretz party, part of the country's governing coalition, has demanded the Defense Ministry answer questions about the export of NSO spyware and its use to hack the phones of reporters and activists.
Nitzan Horowitz, who leads the Meretz party and serves as Israel's health minister, informed reporters on Monday that he will meet with the country's defense minister, Benny Gantz, on Thursday to discuss the distribution of the NSO spyware, known as Pegasus.
On Sunday, over a dozen media outlets jointly reported that more than 50,000 activists, lawyers and journalists have been targeted by governments globally through the spyware, sold to them by the Israeli surveillance company NSO.
The leaked list of those affected was obtained by French media outlet Forbidden Stories and human rights group Amnesty International. The Security Lab at Amnesty examined some of the devices of people named on the list and found that, out of 67 phones analysed, 23 had been infected and there was evidence of an attempted infection on 14 others.
Initially, the Pegasus malware infected phones through text messages or emails by convincing the target to click a malicious link, in a manner known as spear-phishing. However, it is now believed to be able to infect phones through 'zero-click' attacks that exploit vulnerabilities in the phone's operating system. Once it has infected a device, the malware can reportedly extract files and information, ranging from SMS messages to call records to internet browsing histories.
Alongside Horowitz's request for the Defense Ministry to provide information on its NSO exports, Meretz lawmaker Mossi Raz urged the government to immediately halt distribution of the software, which he called "exporting weaponry."
After the call for answers from Horowitz, the Defense Ministry said in a statement cited by Reuters that NSO software was exported for lawful use and "appropriate measures are taken" where cyber products are used in violation of their licenses.
As well as domestic condemnation, the allegations about the spyware have been condemned internationally. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said that, if true, the reported use of the spyware is "completely unacceptable," adding that "free press is one of the core values of the European Union."
The NSO Group "firmly denies" the "false claims" made by the Guardian and its reporting partners for the story, arguing that they are simply "uncorroborated theories" that were "based on misleading interpretation of leaked data from accessible and overt basic information."

Dutch King Willem Alexander last week called the shooting of de Vries "an attack on journalism, the cornerstone of our constitutional state and therefore also an attack on the rule of law."
The slaying also struck a chord elsewhere in Europe, where murders of reporters are rare. The killings of journalists in Slovakia and Malta in recent years have raised concerns about reporters' safety in developed, democratic societies.
In a tweet, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said she was "deeply saddened by the news of Peter R. de Vries' passing. I want to express my condolences to his family and loved ones."
She added: "Investigative journalists are vital to our democracies. We must do everything we can to protect them."
De Vries won an International Emmy in 2008 for a television show he made about the disappearance of U.S. teenager Natalee Holloway while she was on holiday in the Dutch Caribbean island of Aruba in 2005.
In 2018, while acting as a spokesman for the family of an 11-year-old boy who was abused and killed in 1998, de Vries appealed for tips about the whereabouts of a suspect identified in a DNA probe.
"I can't live with the idea that he won't be arrested," de Vries said when appealing for help at a televised press conference. "I won't rest until it happens."
The suspect was arrested a few weeks later in Spain and convicted last year in the death of the boy, Nicky Verstappen.
De Vries' comment about the suspect in Nicky's slaying summed up the tenacity that was a cornerstone of a career that saw him report on some of the Netherlands' most notorious crimes, including the 1983 kidnapping of beer magnate Freddy Heineken.
Acting on a tip, de Vries tracked down one of the kidnappers in Paraguay in 1994.
He befriended another of the kidnappers, Cor van Hout, who was later gunned down in Amsterdam. Another of the kidnappers, Willem Holleeder, who was van Hout's brother-in-law, was convicted in 2019 of inciting the killings of van Hout and four other people. Holleeder was sentenced to life imprisonment.
De Vries also was known for tenaciously campaigning to find the truth behind the 1994 slaying of a 23-year-old woman, Christel Ambrosius. Two men from the town where she was killed were convicted in 1995 and sentenced to 10 years imprisonment, but de Vries refused to believe they were guilty.
They were acquitted in 2002, and in 2008, another man was convicted of Ambrosius' killing.
Justice Minister Ferd Grapperhaus issued a statement calling de Vries "a brave man who lived without compromise. He would not allow himself to be intimidated by criminals."
Grapperhaus said he "tracked down injustice throughout his life. By doing so he made an enormous contribution to our democratic state. He was part of its foundation."

Hungary Told To Repeal Law Banning LGBT Promotion To Children "Or Else Leave EU"
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/hungary-told-repeal-law-banning-lgbt-promotion-children-or-else-leave-eu
EU leadership is now fanatically dictating that Hungary and its 'defiant' prime minister Vickor Orban must bow the knee to the Pride Flag or else "must leave" the European Union.
Quoting Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, The Telegraph describes massive pushback against a new Hungarian law which seeks to prevent the public promotion of homosexuality and transgenderism in front of children and minors:
Mark Rutte, the prime minister of the Netherlands, said Hungary either "must leave" the EU or repeal the law, which bans TV shows and other content seen as championing LGBT lifestyles for the under-18s.
However, some eastern European governments refused to join 17 of the bloc's 27 countries in a rare joint statement condemning a fellow member state.

Other EU leaders, like European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen, have been claiming that the law actively discriminates against LGBT people.
However, defenders of the Hungarian law have pointed out it puts decision-making on presenting these issues to children in the hands of parents and family members. Orban himself, for example, said the law and policy is fundamentally about "defending the rights of the kids and the parents" and is not about discrimination.
Orban said this week at the summit: "Homosexuality was punished, and I fought for their freedom and their rights," concluding that "I am defending the rights of the homosexual guys. But this law is not about that."
But the EU summit which met this is acting as if it's a declaration of war on human rights, and is vowing to respond accordingly:
Western leaders have said they will bring Hungary "to its knees" over a law banning the promotion of homosexuality in schools at a bitter EU summit on Thursday.

EU unveils sweeping climate change plan
The European Union has announced a raft of climate change proposals aimed at pushing it towards its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2050.
A dozen draft proposals, which still need to be approved by the bloc's 27 member states and the EU parliament, were announced on Wednesday.
They include plans to tax jet fuel and effectively ban the sale of petrol and diesel powered cars within 20 years.
The proposals, however, are likely to face months of negotiations.
The plans triggered serious infighting at the European Commission, the bloc's administrative arm, as the final tweaks were being made, sources told the AFP news agency.
"By acting now we can do things another way… and choose a better, healthier and more prosperous way for the future," European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday.
"It is our generational task… [to secure] the wellbeing of not only our generation, but of our children and grandchildren. Europe is ready to lead the way."
The measures are likely to push up household heating bills, as well as increase the cost of flights in the EU. Financial assistance will be available for people to install insulation and make other long-term changes to their homes.
"We're going to ask a lot of our citizens," EU climate policy chief Frans Timmermans said. "We're also going to ask a lot of our industries, but we do it for good cause. We do it to give humanity a fighting chance."
Opposition is also expected from some industry leaders, such as airlines and vehicle manufacturers, as well as from eastern member states that rely heavily on coal.
One EU diplomat told Reuters that the success of the package would rest on its ability to be realistic and socially fair, while also not destabilising the economy.

Hungary declares LGBT+ activists will be barred from schools as EU opens inquiry into law restricting promotion of homosexuality
Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban declared on Thursday that his country would bar LGBT+ activists from schools under a new law restricting promotion of homosexuality, despite pressure from the EU to rescind the legislation.
In a post shared on his official Facebook page, Orban responded to the European Commission's decision to open an inquiry into the country over the legislation that prohibits the promotion of homosexuality within schools.
"The European Parliament and the European Commission want that we let LGBTQ activists and organisations into the kindergartens and schools. Hungary does not want that," Orban said, standing by the legislation.
Orban has been clear that his government will not be dictated-to by the EU over this matter, stating that "Brussels bureaucrats have no business at all" demanding how Hungary teaches its children.
The comments come after the European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen told the country it must repeal the law or face action from the European Union. If Hungary continues to reject the EU's requests, the Commission could open a legal case against Hungary or seek to restrict or freeze European funds designated for the member state.
Hungary has faced international criticism for the law, whose opponents claim it unfairly links pedophilia and LGBT+ issues. On Thursday, human rights groups held a protest outside Hungary's parliament building, with Amnesty International declaring that the legislation is aiming "to erase LGBTQI people from the public sphere."

Luxembourg PM in 'Serious,' Stable Condition With COVID-19
BRUSSELS-Luxembourg Prime Minister Xavier Bettel is in a "serious, but stable" condition and will remain in the hospital for up to four more days after he was unable to shake a bout of COVID-19 that developed over a week ago, the government said.
In a statement, it added that the running of state affairs will be taken over by Finance Minister Pierre Gramegna in the meantime.
Bettel, 48, was diagnosed with insufficient oxygen saturation, forcing him to remain under medical observation since the weekend. He was also suffering from coronavirus symptoms including coughing, headaches, and a fever.
"The medical state of the prime minister is considered serious, but stable," the government said.
Since he self-isolated last week, Bettel has continued to work remotely and through video conferences as much a possible.
He was taken in for 24 hours of testing and medical analysis on Sunday and those tests continued Monday afternoon.
The European Union Commission indicated that Bettel was doing relatively well. "We understand-and we certainly hope-that it's not serious, and it's for checks," said EU spokeswoman Dana Spinant.
EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said she wished him "a very speedy recovery," tweeting: "hope to see you soon in good health. In the meantime, rest and take good care of yourself."
Bettel announced his positive test just after he had attended an European Union summit with 26 other leaders from the bloc for two days. At first he experienced only mild symptoms. But on Sunday, he had to be hospitalized. Bettel had received one COVID-19 vaccine dose in May and had been scheduled to get his second AstraZeneca shot on July 1.
"It was unfortunate that he tested positive just before that," the official said.
EU summit organizers said they were confident that all virus precaution measures had been strictly adhered to during the two-day meeting. So far, no other leader has said he or she tested positive.
EU leaders have been grappling with the dangers of transmitting the virus during one of their many meetings for over a year now. Most of their summits have been held through videoconference and only when essential issues were dealt with that needed long in-person negotiations did the leaders convene at EU headquarters.
Last summer, a four-day summit on the budget and COVID-19 recovery plans was held at the Europa building, but with maximum social distancing. Many of the toughest negotiating sessions were even held on a sundeck in open air atop the summit building to reduce the risk of transmission even further.
The two-day summit that ended 10 days ago dealt with a series of pressing issues, but much of the focus fell on a tussle between Hungary and most of the other EU nations on LGBT issues. Bettel, who is married to a man, took center stage in defending the rights of LGBT people.

Once a 'Conspiracy Theory', Vaccine Passports Just Deployed in Europe... and CNN Wants Americans to Sign Up Too.
The idea of "vaccine" or "health passports" was once labelled a "conspiracy theory." For millions of Europeans, it is an authoritarian nightmare now coming true.
The "EU Digital COVID certificate" or "EUDCC" was unveiled in June to little fanfare and scarce media scrutiny.
The digital version can be stored on a mobile device and EU citizens request a paper version. Both contain a QR code with extremely private information, as well as a digital signature.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen curiously announced: "Today the European Digital COVID certificate reassures us of this spirit of an open Europe. A Europe without barriers. But also a Europe that is slowly but surely opening up after most difficult times of pandemic. This certificate is a symbol of an open and digital Europe. We developed this certificate in record time. It will make travel in our union easier and it will give Europeans back the freedoms they value and cherish so much."
The curious part? Claiming that movement is "free" when it literally costs hundreds of millions in taxpayer cash to develop, and, as von der Leyen even admits in the latter part of her statement: freedom.
Watch:
The digital certificate will:
Cover Covid-19 vaccination, test, and recovery;
Be free of charge and available in all EU languages;
Be available in a digital and paper-based format;
Be secure and include a digitally signed QR code.
Nine member states originally signed up, with 12 announced on June 14th. A further three are expected to join the ranks soon, with some outlets such as CNN even considering American citizens joining the scheme.
"Right now if you're an American, not living in the EU, you could get the certificate if you ask the national authorities of a member state to give you that certificate based on some proof that you've been vaccinated, or had a recent Covid test," an EU spokesman told CNN.
Austria, Bulgaria, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Germany, Greece, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Poland, and Spain are currently deploying the system, with the rest of the 27 total EU member nations set to begin from July 1st.
The United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union on June 23rd 2016, and will therefore not be part of the EU's authoritarian measure.
The news comes despite columnists raging against vaccine passports as a "conspiracy theory":
The Times of London's Hugo Rifkind railed against liberty-minded citizens using the cringeworthy portmanteau "Covidiot."
Now, his claims of just seven months ago have proved who the real "Covidiot" is.

EU Blocked G7 Condemnation of China for Xinjiang Slave Labour: Report
European Union leaders reportedly blocked attempts from the United States, Britain, and Canada to call out the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for the use of slave labour in Xinjiang.
EU leaders said that the West should focus on "cooperative" areas with China instead of adversarial elements.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, and European Union leaders Ursula von der Leyen and Charles Michel opposed efforts to publicly shame the regime in Bejing over forced labour in Xinjiang, The Times reported.
The summary of the G7 communiqué failed to mention China, Xinjiang, or Hong Kong at all and the full 25-page report of the summit's agreements reportedly had a reference to Xinjiang slavery removed despite pushes from the Americans.
The final version of the G7 communiqué read: "We are concerned by the use of all forms of forced labour in global supply chains, including state-sponsored forced labour of vulnerable groups and minorities, including in the agricultural, solar, and garment sectors."
A US administration official told the paper that reaching an agreement on China became "one of the more complicated and thorny" issues at the summit.
The 90-minute foreign policy meeting, which almost entirely consisted of discussions on China, saw the United States, the UK, Canada, Japan, and France seeking a harder line on China and the Europeans looking for a softer approach.
The unnamed official said that there was "a little bit of differentiation of opinion, not on whether the threat is there but on how strong, from an action perspective, different G7 members are willing to take this".
G7 leaders did agree to mention Xinjiang and Hong Kong once in their 25-page report, which said: "We will promote our values, including by calling on China to respect human rights and fundamental freedoms, especially in relation to Xinjiang and those rights, freedoms and high degree of autonomy for Hong Kong enshrined in the Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Basic Law."
The Chinese state overtook the United States as the European Union's top trading partner in 2020, as ties between Brussels and the communist dictatorship in Beijing continue to deepen. https://t.co/RzgCixukoq

Gates & Schwab Control Europe
June 4, 2021
I have warned from the outset that the entire COVID Pandemic has been created. The idea of COVID Passports is to reduce travel to cut CO2. Ursula von der Leyen, the head of the EU, was also a board member of the World Economic Forum. So is the head of the IMF and the ECB. People do not realize that even the UN is in this cabal. Bill Gates donates nearly the same as the United States did to funding the WHO. Anyone who cannot see that this has all been orchestrated for climate change is either blind or simply ignorant.
They dominate the media which has to support COVID lockdowns and used scare tactics to turn countries into concentration camps. Gates even gives "grants" to the media to further his diabolical schemes. These people have DELIBERATELY been destroying the world economy for the purpose to redesign it without fossil fuels. This is the goal and they have been using this virus, which I believe they created in a lab and paid someone in Wuhan to release it. China was NOT involved and this who thing is designed to force China and Russia into their fold.
These people are insane. They really think that they can flip the economy on a dime. This cabal has been very clever. But "donating" to the Media and funding governments and the WHO, they have been feeding into the dreams of the United Nation to take over the world. They are out to end democracy because they know what needs to be done, and they are tired to trying to make excuses to the people they regard as morons and sheep.
The world leaders were scared to death when Trump won in 2016. They suddenly feared "populism" and even John Kerry said that populism had to end, which means people vote against the agenda of the elite. I was told that they did their best to try to discredit me omitting the HSBC had to return the money it took not me because they were desperate to discredit Socrates that does not see CO2 or climate change as anything other than a normal cycle. So if you wanted to know why the West will collapse in 2032 and China will emerge as the #1 world economy - just look at these arrogant elites lining their personal pockets from Gates & Crew. Don't worry - the press will never investigate because it includes themselves.
May God have mercy upon the stupidity of the people who can not see through this facade.

>EU cuts air links with Belarus over forced plane landing
The footage showed Protasevich - who could face 15 years in jail - with dark markings visible on his forehead, saying he was being treated "according to the law".
"This is how (Roman) looks under physical and moral pressure," exiled Belarusian opposition leader Svetlana Tikhanovskaya wrote on Twitter.
The EU leaders demanded the "immediate release" of Protasevich and Sapega, the conclusions of the summit said.
- 'Outrageous behaviour' -
The forced landing of an airliner flying between EU nations has refocused attention on the festering political crisis in Belarus, where Lukashenko has unleashed waves of brutal repression to cling to power.
Western leaders accused Belarusian authorities of essentially hijacking a European plane, while Minsk claimed it had reacted to secure the flight after receiving a bomb threat.
"It is outrageous behaviour and Lukashenko and his regime have to understand that this will have severe consequences," EU chief Ursula von der Leyen said.
The EU's push to punish Minsk followed announcements from some nations and airlines that they were cutting links to Belarus.
London also said it had issued instructions for British aircraft to avoid Belarusian airspace.
Ukraine said it would halt direct flights between the two countries and over Belarus, while Scandinavian airline SAS, Germany's Lufthansa and Latvia-based regional airline Air Baltic said they would be avoiding Belarusian airspace.
In a bid to heighten pressure on Lukashenko, Berlin, London and Brussels summoned the Belarusian ambassadors.
- 'Completely implausible' -
Belarus has insisted it acted legally over the grounding of the Ryanair jet, accusing the West of making "unfounded accusations" for political reasons.
Its air force chief said the plane's captain had decided to land in Belarus "without outside interference" and that the pilot could have chosen to go to Ukraine or Poland.
A senior Belarusian transport official said the authorities received a letter claiming to be from the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas threatening to blow up the plane over Vilnius unless the EU renounced support for Israel.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel dismissed Minsk's explanations as "completely implausible" and the EU demanded a probe by the International Civil Aviation Organization.
The ICAO, a UN agency, is to meet on Thursday.
United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres backed calls for a "full, transparent and independent investigation into this disturbing incident".
- 'Shocking act' -
NATO slammed a "serious and dangerous incident" and said envoys from the military alliance were to discuss it on Tuesday.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken called it "a shocking act".
The EU and other Western countries have already imposed a wide range of sanctions on Lukashenko's government over its crackdown on opposition demonstrations that followed his disputed re-election to a sixth term last August.
But Lukashenko has remained defiant with help from his main backer Russia.
Britain's Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab raised the possibility of that Russian had backed the operation.
"It's very difficult to believe that this kind of action could have been taken without at least the acquiescence of the authorities in Moscow," he told parliament.
But Moscow has dismissed the outrage in the West.
Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Minsk was taking an "absolutely reasonable approach" while ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova mocked the Western indignation.
"We are shocked that the West calls the incident in Belarusian air space 'shocking,'" Zakharova said on Facebook, accusing Western nations of "kidnappings, forced landings and illegal arrests".
Together with co-founder Stepan Putilo, Protasevich until recently ran the Nexta channel on messaging app Telegram, which helped organise the protests that were the biggest challenge to Lukashenko's 26-year rule.
With close to two million subscribers on Telegram, Nexta Live and its sister channel Nexta are prominent opposition channels and helped mobilise protesters in Belarus.
Protasevich and Putilo were added to Belarus's list of "individuals involved in terrorist activity" last year.
The spiralling tensions around Belarus were in evidence as Minsk expelled the entire staff of Latvia's embassy, including the ambassador, after accusing Latvian authorities of having used an opposition flag at an ice hockey championship.

Americans will need a vaccine passport in order to travel to Europe this summer.
More than one year after the European Union shut down nonessential travel from most of the world, the bloc will reopen its borders to American tourists this summer. There's one catch: those tourists will have to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19, European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen told The New York Times.
American and European officials have reportedly been in talks on how to create a vaccine certificate to clear citizens for international travel. "All 27 member states will accept, unconditionally, all those who are vaccinated with vaccines that are approved by E.M.A. (European Medicines Agency)," von der Leyen told the Times.

Doctors Send Probing Open Letter To European Medicines Agency
Published on April 1, 2021
This is near the end of the the article as it was too long to post
NOTICE
For the avoidance of doubt, if your regulatory body does not immediately suspend its "emergency" recommendation of potentially dangerous inadequately tested gene-based "vaccines", while the matters which we have highlighted to you are properly investigated, we hereby put the European Medicines Agency on notice of being complicit in medical experimentation, in violation of the Nuremberg Code, which thereby constitutes the commission of crimes against humanity.
Furthermore, it is your duty as a regulatory body to ensure that all doctors worldwide are advised that they are taking part in medical experimentation via "vaccination" programmes, whether wittingly or unwittingly, with all the legal and ethical obligations that such involvement entails.
This email is copied to the lawyer Reiner Fuellmich. It is also copied to Charles Michel, President of the Council of Europe, and to Ursula von der Leyen, President of the European Commission.
Yours faithfully,
Doctors for Covid Ethics

Green Passes and Dark Inequalities: The Push for COVID Immunity Passports
Sensible, ideal, wonderful - if you happen to be in the European Union. This is the air of confidence surrounding the March 17 proposal for a digital COVID immunity passport, or what is officially being called the Digital Green Certificate.
The Digital Green Certificate is actually a bundle of three: vaccination certificates stating the brand of vaccine used, data and place of inoculation and number of doses administered; negative test certificates (either a rapid antigen test or a NAAT/RT-PCR test); and medical certificates for those who have recovered from COVID-19 in the last 180 days.
The measure is discrimination made sound, preference made prominent. The essential requirement to obtain such a pass is evidence that you have been vaccinated by a jab with a vaccine approved by the European Medicines Agency. But the European Commission did append a qualification to this requirement. Member states could decide whether to accept vaccines that the EMA had yet to approve. Not in itself reassuring, given the varied approaches European states have taken to the international vaccine market.
Such administrative and bureaucratic impositions are the stuff of nightmares for ethicists and philosophers. For those in economics, business and management, it is an eminently sensible idea that will enable people to move within Europe, preferably in time for summer.
The director of Eagle Travel, David Reculez, put the case for the defence. "For us, the travel agencies, the new certificate is really a good hope because it will definitely help people to travel again." People wanted to travel in a safe way without being hampered by "hard rules or quarantine".
Countries with tourist-heavy economies - Greece, Spain and Croatia, for instance - are enthused. On February 23, Greece's Digital Governance Minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis announced the use of vaccination passports. Agreements have been struck with Israel, Cyprus and Serbia to enable a generous flow of vaccinated residents this summer. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis has had the ear of the EU President Ursula von der Leyen, pushing for a unified EU position on the matter, despite his country's separate bilateral efforts.
France, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium are, to various degrees, opposed and sceptical. France's minister of state for tourism, Jean-Baptiste Lemoyne thought "the idea of restricting movement to only people who are vaccinated" a "premature" debate given that only "4 to 5% of the European populace had been vaccinated." The country's minister for European Affairs Clément Beaune found it "shocking, while this vaccination campaign is still underway in Europe, that there would be more rights for some people than for others. This is not our conception of protection and access to vaccines."

Europe is in the midst of its "crisis of the century" as it threatens to seize AstraZeneca factories and strip the company of its intellectual property rights in a major escalation in tensions over coronavirus vaccines.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen refused to rule out the moves overnight - saying "all options are on the table" as the bloc struggles to vaccinate its 450 million citizens amid a third COVID wave.
"We are in the crisis of the century," she said.
"I'm not ruling out anything for now because we have to make sure that Europeans are vaccinated as soon as possible.
"Human lives, civil liberties and also the prosperity of our economy are dependent on the speed of vaccinations."

Start work on vaccination certificates, von der Leyen tells EU
EU governments must immediately begin technical work to ensure a COVID-19 vaccination certificate system can be introduced across the 27-member bloc in time for summer, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said on Friday.
The EU executive aims to present its plans for a "digital green pass" on March 17 and to cooperate with international organisations to ensure that its system also works beyond the European Union.
A system to provide travellers with "vaccination passports" is eagerly awaited by airlines and tourism destinations that have been hammered by the pandemic and want to stage a rebound in the peak summer season.
Such passports, pushed by tourism-reliant southern states like Greece and Spain, would provide proof that a person has been vaccinated, test results for those not yet vaccinated and information on recovery for people who have contracted COVID-19.
"The foundation of such a common approach is trust," von der Leyen wrote in a letter to EU governments, adding that member states had to start work immediately to ensure systems were ready in time.
As well as a legal framework, the system requires a common technical infrastructure to ensure that authorities in one member state could be sure that certificates issued by another state were reliable, she said.
The Commission is working with member states on a digital infrastructure to allow the certificates to be authenticated and this work could be completed within three months, von der Leyen wrote.
"An EU system can only work if the national systems are in place on time," she added.
Sweden said on Friday that it aimed to have it its system up and running by summer and that it would be available on smartphones, digital wallets as well as on paper. It will be based on electronic ID, a system most Swedes already have, and use an encryption key so certificates can be verified at border crossings.

Europe also moving toward vaccine passports
The European Union also appears to be on the cusp of embracing similar draconian measures. German Chancellor Angela Merkel stated this week that the concept of a digital vaccine passport has achieved "unanimous support within the E.U."
"Everyone agreed that we need a digital vaccination certificate," Merkel said last Wednesday after a meeting with European leaders.
E.U. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also praised Israel's new Green Pass system.
The Telegraph reports that the government of the U.K. is nearing an announcement of new rules similar to Israel's in which no Brit will be allowed to enter pubs, gyms, large-venue events or hotels without showing their special COVID vaccine passport.
Since when do we take away freedom in order to restore it under a new set of terms defined by unelected "experts" at the United Nations World Health Organization? This is the twisted way in which the globalist technocrats think. Always perverting the language to sell their lies and enticing ill-informed masses to walk straight into their devious traps.
Forcing people to accept a medical treatment and to "show your papers" proving they have received the treatment in order to participate in society is a violation of the well-established international norms.
The Nuremberg Code came out of the Nuremberg tribunals that convicted leading German Nazis. The Code states that any experimental medical treatment must not only be voluntary but must include "informed consent," meaning the person not only volunteered but was informed of exactly what the treatment entailed and the risks involved.
Global power elites have already used COVID as cover to clamp down on free speech, assembly, religious gatherings and small business operations, creating a world of the haves and have-nots. Big-box stores like Walmart and online retailer Amazon have thrived, raking in record profits, while small businesses are dying.
So the class-action lawsuit appears justified, at least in theory. A small cabal of globalist corporations and "experts" at the WHO created the problem, made it impossible for people to live their lives as normal human beings, leading to mass anxiety and huge spikes in suicide.
Now that everyone is miserable and desperate to get back to normal, the technocrats introduce an experimental gene therapy, the mRNA vaccine, and are holding that out as the salvation, making it oh so tempting for many to line up and roll up their sleeve.
Tempting, that is, if you haven't done your research to find out who is promoting the vaccine, what are their long-held motives and goals, and what their previous track record has been.
Such research would lead you straight to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has invested billions into an ever-growing lineup of vaccines through the GAVI global vaccine alliance and other organizations. Gates has bragged about the tremendous 20-to-1 "return on investment" he has reaped by investing in vaccine therapies. His net worth has increased by $17 billion since making the shift in focus from computers to vaccines.
U.S. companies bribing employees to take the shot
A number of U.S. companies are now bribing their employees, offering cash bonuses of $100 to $150 if they get the shot. Meijer, Kroger, Publix, Dollar General, Aldi, JBS Meat Processing and Trader Joe's, among others, have all jumped on the bandwagon. They are being highly praised by "health experts" for doing this, so look for more companies to follow suit.
Those who refuse the vaccine, which is their right under the Nuremberg Codes, will become the new untouchables in a caste system that divides people along medical lines. Those getting the shot will be allowed to re-enter something closer to normalcy while those rejecting it will be left behind.
The dots are all there - with the virus, the fear-mongering, the lockdowns and mask mandates, and the coming vaccine mandates. All you have to do is connect them.

EU Told to Back Vaccine Passports or Google May Do It Anyway
European Union leaders inched toward establishing bloc-wide vaccine certificates to enable countries to reopen to travel as Commission President Ursula von der Leyen warned that unless they hurry Apple Inc. and Google will step into the vacuum.
During a five-hour video call, the EU's 27 leaders focused on how to haul their nations back to a form of normalcy after a pandemic that's claimed more than 500,000 lives and shut down large parts of their economies. While there was broad support for certificates of some sort, leaders didn't agree on the type of privileges they would grant.
"We have all agreed that we need vaccine certificates," German Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters after the talks on Thursday. "In the future, it will certainly be good to have such a certificate but that will not mean that only those who have such a passport will be able to travel; about that, no political decisions have been made yet."
Europe's leaders have been anxious to find a response after facing criticism for a vaccination program that lagged behind the U.S. and U.K. There's also the prospect of a third wave of infections leading again to stricter lockdowns.
More from
It was the first such meeting as prime minister of Italy for Mario Draghi, the former European Central Bank president. He asked leaders to adopt a more resolute and pragmatic approach to speed up vaccinations and told them the program has to move much faster, according to an official with knowledge of the call.
Draghi also called for a tougher approach against companies that don't respect delivery commitments, suggesting that their exports from the EU could be blocked not only during the period they don't respect accords, but also for a certain period afterward.
The growing support for a digital certificate with common criteria such as vaccination, negative testing or immunity was helped by Merkel seeming to soften her stance on the matter, backing work on such a document, according to two people familiar with her remarks. But von der Leyen urged the group to move faster before U.S. tech companies fill the void.
"It is important to have a European solution because otherwise others will go into this vacuum," she said at a press briefing. "Google and Apple are already offering solutions to the World Health Organization. And this is sensitive information so we want to be very clear here that we offer a European solution."
A spokesperson from the WHO said the organization has taken a software-neutral approach to the development of a vaccination certification and "neither Google nor Apple are involved in this process."
A person familiar with Apple's position on the matter suggested that von der Leyen had misunderstood the situation. Apple has never discussed a possible vaccine application with the WHO or the EU, the person said on condition of anonymity.
"If we as European Union don't provide a solution, somebody else will, whether it's going to be the U.S. big tech companies or somebody else, the solution will be provided," Alex Patelis, chief economic adviser to Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, told Bloomberg. "Let's get the infrastructure ready."

Merkel: EU Leaders "Have All Agreed That We Need Vaccine Passports"
After the European Commission convened to discuss the potential of so called 'vaccine passports' Thursday, German Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters that "We have all agreed that we need vaccine certificates."
Bloomberg reports that Merkel added "In the future, it will certainly be good to have such a certificate but that will not mean that only those who have such a passport will be able to travel; about that, no political decisions have been made yet."
The German leader also stated:
"This will make travelling within the EU possible and could pave the way for further travel from third countries into the EU," suggesting that it will take three months to implement a vaccine passport system.
The report also notes that Commission President Ursula von der Leyen urged member states to make haste in agreeing a Europe wide system before Big Tech gets there first.
von der Leyen reportedly cited Israel's 'Green Pass' system, which the country is using as a domestic internal document, denying entry for the unvaccinated to public spaces including sports events, restaurants and hotels.
While admitting that it is "unclear whether you can transmit the disease even if you are vaccinated," the Commission leader stated "It is important to have a European solution because otherwise others will go into this vacuum."
"Google and Apple are already offering solutions to the WHO [World Health Organization]. And this is sensitive information so we want to be very clear here that we offer a European solution," von der Leyen emphasised.
Alex Patelis, chief economic adviser to Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, noted "If we as European Union don't provide a solution, somebody else will, whether it's going to be the U.S. big tech companies or somebody else, the solution will be provided."
"Let's get the infrastructure ready," Patelis added.
French President Emmanuel Macron has expressed skepticism over the notion of vaccine passports, but stated:
"We'll have, in the end, a harmonious EU approach," adding "It's obvious because there is no other choice."
While there have been scant reports of Apple or Google developing vaccine passports, and the WHO has expressed caution on the issue, there are plenty of other schemes under development and being rolled out, as we have repeatedly highlighted.

Globalist Ties Bode Poorly for Italy
Italian commentator Andrea Cionci told Church Militant that "little is known of Draghi's political thought" because of his deliberately kept reserved and discreet profile, but "the fact that Draghi is a fully fledged part of the globalist system is indisputable." Cionci quoted an Italian saying: "Tell me who you are going with and I will tell you who you are," elaborating:
The fact that Draghi's appointment was greeted with skyrocketing enthusiasm from the mainstream media, from President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and, above all, sponsored by Pope Francis who, just six months ago, nominated him as - ahead of its time - a member of PASS, should alarm everyone who has critical thinking skills which go beyond the infantile narrative of "the overly competent, great connoisseur of European mechanisms who will save Italy."
Let's not forget that Francis' latest encyclical, Fratelli Tutti, constitutes a de facto declaration of war on Italy as a nation-state. From the economic, political, ethno-demographic, cultural, linguistic, religious, military and identity points of view, if all of Fratelli Tutti's contents had to be applied, after the course of 10 years no trace of Italy would remain - nothing. Therefore, the fact that Draghi is protected by Bergoglio does not foresee anything positive.
In 2013, Pope Francis granted Draghi and his family an audience. The economist, then president of the ECB (2011-2019), was prominent at a 2016 prize-giving ceremony when Francis was awarded the Charlemagne Prize for his contribution to the unity of postwar Europe.
Draghi's bond with the Vatican precedes Francis. Draghi is credited with giving the green light to Benedict XVI's 2009 encyclical Caritas in Veritate on the Church's social doctrine and commenting favorably on it in
his L'Osservatore Romano article "There is no true development without ethics."
On the eve of the last day of the pontificate of Benedict XVI, Draghi hailed the Bavarian-born pontiff for his "emphasis on ethical concerns in the economic relationships of our globalized world," in his address to the Catholic Academy in Bayern, Munich.
The Jesuit 'Red Thread'
But Draghi's most significant link with Pope Francis is through "the man who whispers in the pope's ear" - Antonio Spadaro, the Jesuit director of La Civiltà Cattolica - Italy's oldest Catholic periodical.

Why Russia is driving the West crazy
Future historians may register it as the day when usually unflappable Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov decided he had had enough:
We are getting used to the fact that the European Union are trying to impose unilateral restrictions, illegitimate restrictions and we proceed from the assumption at this stage that the European Union is an unreliable partner.
Josep Borrell, the EU foreign policy chief, on an official visit to Moscow, had to take it on the chin.
Lavrov, always the perfect gentleman, added, "I hope that the strategic review that will take place soon will focus on the key interests of the European Union and that these talks will help to make our contacts more constructive."
He was referring to the EU heads of state and government's summit at the European Council next month, where they will discuss Russia. Lavrov harbors no illusions the "unreliable partners" will behave like adults.
Yet something immensely intriguing can be found in Lavrov's opening remarks in his meeting with Borrell: "The main problem we all face is the lack of normalcy in relations between Russia and the European Union - the two largest players in the Eurasian space. It is an unhealthy situation, which does not benefit anyone."
The two largest players in the Eurasian space (italics mine). Let that sink in. We'll be back to it in a moment.
As it stands, the EU seems irretrievably addicted to worsening the "unhealthy situation". European Commission head Ursula von der Leyen memorably botched the Brussels vaccine game. Essentially, she sent Borrell to Moscow to ask for licensing rights for European firms to produce the Sputnik V vaccine - which will soon be approved by the EU.
And yet Eurocrats prefer to dabble in hysteria, promoting the antics of NATO asset and convicted fraudster Navalny - the Russian Guaido.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the Atlantic, under the cover of "strategic deterrence", the head of the US STRATCOM, Admiral Charles Richard, casually let it slip that "there is a real possibility that a regional crisis with Russia or China could escalate quickly to a conflict involving nuclear weapons, if they perceived a conventional loss would threaten the regime or state."
So the blame for the next - and final - war is already apportioned to the "destabilizing" behavior of Russia and China. It's assumed they will be "losing" - and then, in a fit of rage, will go nuclear. The Pentagon will be no more than a victim; after all, claims Mr. STRATCOM, we are not "stuck in the Cold War".
STRATCOM planners could do worse than read crack military analyst Andrei Martyanov, who for years has been on the forefront detailing how the new hypersonic paradigm - and not nuclear weapons - has changed the nature of warfare.
After a detailed technical discussion, Martyanov shows how "the United States simply has no good options currently. None. The less bad option, however, is to talk to Russians and not in terms of geopolitical BS and wet dreams that the United States, somehow, can convince Russia "to abandon" China - US has nothing, zero, to offer Russia to do so. But at least Russians and Americans may finally settle peacefully this "hegemony" BS between themselves and then convince China to finally sit as a Big Three at the table and finally decide how to run the world. This is the only chance for the US to stay relevant in the new world."

EU urges US to draft joint rule book to rein in tech giants
BRUSSELS – The European Union called Tuesday on U.S. President Joe Biden to help draw up a common rule book to rein in the power of big tech companies like Facebook and Twitter and combat the spread of fake news that is eating away at Western democracies.
In a speech to the Davos World Economic Forum, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen urged the Biden administration to join forces against "the darker sides of the digital world," which she said was partly behind the "shock" storming of Capitol Hill on Jan. 6.
"The business model of online platforms has an impact and not only on free and fair competition, but also on our democracies, our security and on the quality of our information," von der Leyen said. "That is why we need to contain this immense power of the big digital companies."
She urged the White House to join the 27-nation bloc's efforts, saying that "together, we could create a digital economy rule book that is valid worldwide," and would encompass data protection, privacy rules and the security of critical infrastructure.
von der Leyen said the EU wants the onus put on the tech giants, with "it clearly laid down that internet companies take responsibility for the manner in which they disseminate, promote and remove content."
In December, the European Commission proposed two new pieces of EU legislation to better protect consumers and their rights online, make tech platforms more accountable, and improve digital competition, building on the bloc's data protection rules, which are among the most stringent in the world.
"We want the platforms to be transparent about how their algorithms work," von der Leyen said. "Because we cannot accept that decisions that have a far-reaching impact on our democracy are taken by computer programs alone."
von der Leyen also referred to the decision earlier this month by Facebook and Twitter to cut off President Donald Trump from their platforms for allegedly inciting the assault on the U.S. Capitol, an unprecedented step that underscored the immense power of tech giants to regulate speech.
"No matter how tempting it may have been for Twitter to switch off President Trump's account, such serious interference with freedom of expression should not be based on company rules alone," she said. "There needs to be a framework of laws for such far-reaching decisions."

Dutch mayor warns the country is heading for 'civil war' following violent anti-curfew protests as France and Italy admit they're facing ANOTHER Covid-19 lockdown
Europe is in the midst of Covid chaos as countries race to tighten their restrictions amid high case numbers
France due decide on a third national lockdown this week; Italy's top medic has also called for new shutdown
Meanwhile the continent's vaccine program is in disarray, with France's Pasteur Institute admitting today that its vaccine doesn't work and AstraZeneca cutting supplies of its jab due to 'EU supply chain issues'
Disorder is also growing following riots in the Netherlands, with mayor warning 'we're on the path to civil war'
Europe's battle against coronavirus entered a dangerous new phase this week as politicians pushed to tighten lockdown measures across the continent even after a weekend of rioting brought scenes of chaos to the Netherlands and Denmark amid warnings of 'civil war'.
France is due to decide whether to bring in a third national lockdown this week as Prime Minister Jean Castex warned the situation there is 'worrying', with Italy's top medic also calling for a month-long national shutdown.
That is despite John Jorritsma, mayor of Eindhoven which was hit by its worst riots in almost four decades at the weekend, warning 'we're on our way to civil war' after new nationwide curfew measures sparked public outcry.
Meanwhile hopes that vaccines might provide a quick way out of the crisis all-but faded after France's Pasteur Institute was forced to scrap a jab it had been developing with US drug-maker Merck because it doesn't work.
The news came as AstraZeneca - whose jab has yet to be approved by EU regulators - announced it was cutting vaccine supplies to the continent by up to 60 per cent because of problems with supply chains, thought to be due to under-production at a factory in Belgium.
Head of the EU executive Ursula von der Leyen had a call with the firm on Monday to 'remind them of their commitments', but EU President Charles Michel admitted that vaccinating 70 per cent of Europe's population - the figure theoretically needed to ensure herd immunity - by the end of summer as planned will now be 'difficult'.

Hacked emails allegedly detail how EU drug regulator was pressured to approve Pfizer jab despite 'problems' with the vaccine
An alleged cache of email exchanges between EU officials and the European Medicines Agency show that the drug regulator was uncomfortable about fast-tracking approval for the Pfizer and Moderna Covid jabs, Le Monde has reported.
The EMA has claimed that the contents of the messages, which were obtained by hackers and published on the dark web, were tampered with in order to undermine confidence in the drugs, without providing further details. However, the agency acknowledged to the French newspaper that the correspondences reflect "issues and discussions" that took place in the lead-up to the decision to grant approval to the vaccines. The agency said it can't specify which documents are genuine.
Some of the "discussions" appear to have been less than congenial. For example, in a document dated November 19, a senior EMA official described a "rather tense, sometimes even a little unpleasant" conference call with the European Commission regarding the review process for the drugs. The official said he felt there was a clear "expectation" that the vaccines would be approved. A day later, the same individual had an exchange with the Danish Medicines Agency in which he expressed surprise that Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission, had announced that the Moderna and Pfizer jabs could receive the green light before the end of the year.
"There are still problems with both," the unnamed EMA official noted in the leaked correspondence.
According to Le Monde, the hacked documents primarily detail issues that the EMA had with the Pfizer/BioNTech drug. The regulator apparently had three "major issues" with the vaccine: certain manufacturing sites used for its production had not yet been inspected, data on batches produced for commercial use were still missing, and, most importantly, available data revealed qualitative differences between the commercial batches and those used during clinical trials.
The EMA expressed particular concern about the last point, noting that mass production had decreased the purity of the RNA contained in the vaccine. The Pfizer jab uses a mRNA strand, a sequence of molecules that tell cells what to 'build' in order to produce a disease-specific antigen.
The EU drug regulator signaled that it was worried that less rigorous manufacturing methods would make the vaccine less effective and safe. However, Pfizer appears to have agreed to make necessary adjustments in order to meet the EMA's standards.
Despite its hesitancy, it appears the EMA understood that it was under a clear deadline. In an email exchange between colleagues at the agency, one employee said the EMA needs to "accelerate the process to align [with other agencies]," and risks facing "questions and criticisms" from Brussels, the media and the general public if it did not fast-track approval.
The Pfizer jab was granted approval by the EU on December 21, while the Moderna variant was given the go-ahead earlier this month. Since then, numerous reports have emerged of both drugs being linked to adverse effects in countries around the world, prompting investigations by health authorities.

While Mitsotakis' plan was not meant to be "compulsory or a prerequisite for travel," von der Leyen seemed to be leaning in that direction, repeating that "we have to have a medical requirement that proves that people have been vaccinated." The idea of an EU-wide vaccine certificate "is a political and legal decision that should be discussed at a European level," she continued emphatically.

"EU leaders to discuss Greek PM's proposal for Covid 'vaccination certificate'"
"European Union leaders will be discussing a proposal at the next European Council for a coronavirus "vaccination certificate" that would help ease travel among member-states, as put forward by Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.
In a letter to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Tuesday, the Greek premier recommended the establishment of a "standardized certificate, which will prove that an individual has been successfully vaccinated" against Covid-19. Such an initiative, Mitsotakis said, would be a "key step" in "ensuring the quickest possible re-establishment of freedom of movement between member-states, but also with third countries."
European Commission spokesman Stefan de Keersmaecker said on Tuesday that "all the issues brought up in this letter, together with other questions concerning vaccinations, will be discussed in the framework of the European Council."
"We are awaiting the results of this important meeting and will be in a position to examine and respond to the letter we received from the [Greek] prime minister," he added.
Along with the letter, Mitsotakis attached a draft certificate created by Greek authorities that could serve as a starting point for a discussion on such an initiative.
Mitsotakis said that while Greece will not make "vaccination compulsory or a pre-requisite for travel, persons who have been vaccinated should be free to travel."
He added that such a move would also "provide a positive incentive" for citizens to be vaccinated."

China Advances In Europe As Unipolar World Collapsing Together With United States Political System
On December 30th, the EU and China approved a comprehensive investment agreement, despite a request for talks on the issue by the incoming administration of President-elect Joe Biden.
Chinese President Xi Jinping, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron joined EU leaders Ursula von der Leyen and Charles Michel in a video conference to conclude negotiations over the deal, which removes a number of barriers to European companies' investment in China.
This deal was years in the making, and the US was apparently entirely left out.
Negotiations had repeatedly stalled since they began in 2013.
According to reports, Chinese negotiators had a sense of urgency after Biden was elected and attempted to close it, successfully as it seems.
The deal is a diplomatic victory for Beijing and a domestic one for President Xi Jinping.
In Washington, it will be seen as a snub to the incoming Biden administration, which urged the EU to wait.
"Before President Biden has even taken the oath of office, the well has been a bit poisoned in transatlantic relations," said Theresa Fallon, director of the Centre for Russia Europe Asia Studies, a think tank in Brussels.
The deal has also been criticized by politicians in Europe because of concerns over forced labor and other human rights abuses in China, and for preempting any discussions with the Biden administration on a joint approach to Beijing.
"After four years of the Trump administration, which characterized the EU as 'worse than China,' there is a growing anti-American sentiment" among EU leadership, Fallon said, "meaning 'we don't want to do what the U.S. says.' "
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying tweeted that the agreement "demonstrates China's determination and confidence to advance toward a higher level of opening up."

This Spahn (Germany) letter started the vaccine disaster at the EU
Here's how Merkel and von der Leyen urged the health minister to cede the vaccine mandate to the EU
It is THE central document in the vaccine disaster!
A letter proving how Health Minister Jens Spahn (40, CDU) and his counterparts from France, Italy and the Netherlands had to cede the procurement of the life-saving vaccine to EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen (62) and apologize in a humiliating tone for their efforts in procuring the vaccine. The letter is exclusively available to BILD.
According to BILD information, it was important to both Chancellor Angela Merkel (66, CDU) and von der Leyen that the letter from Spahn and his colleagues be written in as obsequious a tone as possible.
Background: Spahn and his colleagues had been working as a foursome to get enough vaccine for all Europeans, but Merkel wanted to put the vaccine procurement in the hands of the EU as a grand gesture.
Result: the EU failed disastrously to secure enough vaccine for all Europeans in time.
The letter states, "Unfortunately, the simultaneous negotiations of our alliance have caused concern. That is why we believe it is of paramount importance to have a common approach towards the different pharmaceutical companies. (…) We agree that speed is of the essence. That's why we think it makes sense for the Commission to take the lead in this process. Of course, we continue to offer our support and expertise."
Almost apologetically, the 4 health ministers noted that they had "not yet started negotiations on payment for the AstraZeneca vaccine." "We would very much appreciate it if the Commission would take over these negotiations."
According to BILD information, the four ministers already had massive doubts back in June 2020 about the EU's ability to procure enough vaccine in time, but were urged by their respective heads of government - in Germany, Chancellor Angela Merkel - to transfer the process to Ursula von der Leyen.
Strikingly, contrary to what the EU, the Chancellor's Office and Spahn are currently claiming, at no point is the letter about negotiating good prices for the vaccine or even averting "vaccine nationalism." When it was handed over to the EU, these considerations - contrary to what is currently being portrayed - apparently played no role whatsoever.
All four ministers signed the letter personally. Thus the vaccine disaster took its course…

UK's House of Commons Approves EU Trade Deal, Bill Goes to Lords
MPs in the House of Commons passed the European Union Future Relationship bill, with the document now going to the House of Lords.
With the UK leaving the EU's institutions at the end of the transition period at 11 pm on December 31st, 2020, Prime Minister Boris Johnson is aiming to have the whole bill - passing into law the UK-EU trade deal agreed in principle with Brussels on Christmas Eve - move through the House of Commons, House of Lords, and receive Royal Assent on Wednesday.
The third reading at 3 pm in the lower house saw the Ayes having it, at 521, the Noes with 73 - a majority of 448 - identical to the result of the second reading less than a quarter of an hour before.
The bill will now go to the House of Lords where, despite being heavily pro-Remain, it is still expected to pass. Debate and voting are still likely to take several hours, with Royal Assent from Queen Elizabeth II expected to take place very late tonight. With Royal Assent, the bill becomes law.
Conservative Brexiteer MPs had earlier this week expressed concern that they did not have enough time to scrutinise the 1,246-page document, but the legal team from the European Research Group, dubbed the Star Chamber, gave the deal its approval on Tuesday.
On the other side of the English Channel, the trade agreement is also going through its legal processes. While arrangements will come into force on January 1st, the deal will not be official until ratified by the European Parliament and then the European Council, which is expected to take place some time in January.
The process is on its way, with ambassadors from the EU-27 rubber-stamping it on Monday. The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and European Council President Charles Michel signed the deal on Wednesday.

Brexit Deal Signed: EU Boasts of a 'Good Deal' In Their Interest
The Brexit negotiations between the United Kingdom and the European Union concluded on Thursday, Christmas Eve, with the EU's Ursula von der Leyen calling a press conference and boasting the EU got a "good deal" out of the years of negotiations.
Update: Boris Speaks
Speaking from Downing Street on Christmas Eve, Prime Minister Johnson announced the agreement of what he terms a "comprehensive, Canada-style free-trade deal" - an agreement that Mr Johnson has been seeking since the beginning of negotiations, which the European Union had said was impossible to strike.
"I'm very pleased to tell you that we have completed the biggest trade deal yet, worth £660 billion a year," he said, continuing that the deal would protect British jobs by allowing "UK goods to be sold without tariffs and without quotas in the EU market, which will if anything allow our companies to do even more business with our European friends."
Mr Johnson implied that the deal, which he said was 500 pages long - not 2,000 as previously claimed - and which as yet must be passed in the House of Commons, fulfils completely the June 23rd, 2016 vote to leave the European Union.
He said: "And yet, what it achieves is something that the people of this country instinctively knew was doable but which they were told was impossible: we've taken back control of our laws and our destiny, we've taken back control of every jot and tittle of our regulation in a way that is complete and unfettered."
Johnson continued that "from January 1st, we are outside the Customs Union and outside the Single Market," pledging that "British laws will be made solely by the British parliament, interpreted by UK judges sitting in UK courts, and the jurisdiction of the European Court of Justice will come to an end."
"We will be able to set our own standards," the prime minister added. "We will be able to decide how and where we will stimulate new jobs and new hope with freeports, new green industrial zones."
Much of the obstruction on the agreement of a new deal with the bloc hinged on the EU's demands for continued, permanent access to Britain's lucrative fishing waters. Mr Johnson said that the UK will regain full control of her waters, after some five-a-half-years of what appears to be another transition period for European fishermen.

Reports: Brexit Deal Imminent, Boris Haggling over Scale of Fishing Surrender
All signs appear to point to a Brexit deal being announced imminently, with an official announcement waiting on some last-minute wrangling over the scale of Boris Johnson's surrender to the European Union on fisheries.
Both the European Commission and the British government are briefing that they believe the deal will be sealed early on Thursday, with an appearance by Boris Johnson and European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen scheduled for last night and a press conference by Johnson at 7 a.m. on Thursday morning being pushed back as the two sides haggled "over individual fish species", according to the BBC.
What is clear, unless reports are all wildly off-base, is that Boris Johnson appears to have given up any pretence of standing firm on the repatriation of Britain's national fishing waters - currently controlled by the EU and exploited mainly by foreign trawlers, with disastrous effects for local fishermen - but he may be able to sell diehard supporters on the idea that the negotiations have been a success because Brussels had demanded even more than Britain will give up.
The deal which now looks set to emerge on fisheries, per the Telegraph, will result in a years-long "transition" - on top of the almost four years the EU has already had since the British people voted to Leave the European Union in 2016 - for EU fishermen, with only some very limited repatriation of British fish and fishing revenue to the United Kingdom:
Britain offered the EU a three-year transition period but demanded it return 80 per cent of its quotas for catching fish in UK waters. The EU countered by demanding unfettered access to UK waters for 14 years in return for giving back just 15 per cent of its quotas.
During months of talks, Brussels came down to 10 years, then eight, leaving the sides haggling over the five-year gap between them, as well as the division of the catch between Britain and the EU in the years before the UK takes back full control of its waters.
Mr Johnson agreed that the EU would only repatriate 25 per cent of the value of fish caught in its waters during a five and a half year transition period, sources in Brussels said. The UK had originally demanded a three-year period with 80 per cent of the value, while the EU wanted a ten-year period with just 15-18 per cent. However, the EU stuck firm at 25 per cent, when the UK asked for 35 per cent.
This so-called compromise would follow what has become a familiar pattern for Brexit watchers, with the European Union making outlandish demands and the British government negotiating them down to slightly less outlandish demands and hailing this as victory - with the most obvious example being the ?40 billion+ "divorce" bill Britain agreed to hand over, despite having put far more into the EU budget than it has taken out over the years, after Brussels had initially demanded nearer ?100 bilion.
Johnson also appears to have agreed to something like the "level playing field" the EU had been demanding - allowing the EU to hit the UK with tariffs if it diverges from the bloc's onerous regulations in a way that makes it more competitive - by accepting in principle a so-called "rebalancing mechanism", although this process will be overseen by a supposedly impartial arbitration panel rather than EU judges.

All Over by Christmas? Boris Holding Calls with Eurocrats to Deliver Deal Farage Warned Is 'Brexit in Name Only'
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson is engaged in intense "hotline" talks with his European counterparts, amid claims a Brexit deal could be struck within hours - a deal Brexit leader Nigel Farage has warned could be a betrayal of the British interest.
A Brexit deal could be agreed between the UK government and the European Union today (Wednesday) or even tomorrow, Christmas Eve, according to claims made in Britain's The Sun newspaper. The Reuters wires service makes similar claims, citing unnamed senior European figures who say the deal could arrive Wednesday evening.
Yet despite British and European negotiators agreeing on a deal, the matter of ratifying the terms remains. For the European Union, this process can take weeks or months, but it has been widely reported that the bloc has developed a special truncated process, perhaps bypassing the usual channels and going directly to member states' national capitals for assent.
For the UK, it means a debate and vote in Parliament - but dumping what is reported to be a highly technical and complex 2,000-page document on Parliamentarians at very short notice and expecting them to make a snap decision on whether to back it or not may lead to anger in the chamber. MPs have already said they will want to go through the document with a "fine-tooth comb".
Whether a deal does emerge or not, the recent news escaping from Brussels - the so-called 'tunnel' phase of talks specifically formulated to cut out journalists and other observers, ostensibly to remove distractions for negotiators - indicated significant disagreements remain, particularly on regulatory alignment and fishing. If a last-minute deal is agreed now, it remains the case that the cost of that deal would be the United Kingdom or the European Union making significant concessions to the other.
Just last night, the EU called the United Kingdom's latest counter-offer on fishing unacceptable, suggesting a breakthrough may remain some way off in this area.
Brexiteers Threaten to Veto Any Brexit-in-Name-Only Deal https://t.co/CdAHS2pRga

Seeking to advance these talks, the prime minister has been engaged in "hotline" talks with the European Union which the pro-Europe business newspaper the Financial Times has characterised as "intensified" regular contact between Johnson and the EU's Ursula von der Leyen.
The paper also noted that while talks could continue after Christmas and towards the New Year, there was a desire to wrap things up before Christmas Eve.
That British negotiators may be bounced into a last-minute agreement by Brussels is a major concern of UK Brexiteers, who have suspected for some time that getting a deal to keep trade flowing without tariffs would mean unacceptable failures in Brexit-critical concerns around sovereignty.
British pro-Brexit parliamentarians have threatened to veto the Brexit deal if it is a "Brexit in name only" document, revealing concerns over what exactly the British government will be pressured into agreeing to in Brussels. Nigel Farage warned Britons earlier this month that the government would try to spin a Brexit betrayal as a "fantastic victory" in order to get the people to accept whatever Europe gives them.
Reflecting on the late stage of talks, he said: "This is all, in my view, an act. This is a giant charade. It's to make us think that they are really, really fighting hard to get us a good deal."

French President Emmanuel Macron tests positive for COVID; news sends multiple European leaders into quarantine
Recently attended a summit with other officials
French President Emmanuel Macron has tested positive for COVID-19, according to Reuters.
The information has allegedly sent several European leaders into quarantine following a Dec. 10-11 summit.
What are the details?
The outlet reported that Macron met with "numerous" heads of state and their high-ranking officials before testing positive for COVID-19.
Over the last 10 days, he has met with Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa and French Prime Minister Jean Castex, who are now self-isolating. Macron also reportedly met with Costa for a working lunch.
He also was in attendance at a convention with Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez and President of the European Council Charles Michael. Both are now self-isolating.
Sanchez also reportedly had lunch with Macron on Monday, the Spanish leader's office said in a statement.
The report noted that Macron attended a European Council summit in Brussels.
"Of the council's 27 member states, only two leaders were missing: Estonia's Jüri Ratas and Croatia's Andrej Plenkovic."
Those in attendance also included German Chancellor Angela Merkel, Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, Belgian Prime Minister Alexander De Croo, Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, European Parliament President David Sassoli, and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen.
What else?
On Thursday, CNN reported that the Elysee Palace said Macron was diagnosed after being tested "at the onset of the first symptoms."
"In accordance with current health regulations applicable to all, the President of the Republic will isolate himself for 7 days. He continues to work and carry out his activities remotely," the statement added.
A reported EU official in the European Council told CNN that "all sanitary measures were observed, and we have not been informed of any other participant or staff present during the summit who tested positive."
On Monday, the European Center for Disease Prevention and Control reported that France's 14-day coronavirus infection rate was 236.3 new cases per 100,000 people.

Europe will start vaccinating people for Covid-19 in 10 days, EU Commission president confirms
European Union Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has confirmed that member states will begin the bloc-wide mass vaccination program on December 27, 28, and 29.
Tweeting out the announcement, von der Leyen proudly declared that "we protect our citizens together", adding the 'Stronger Together' slogan that became widely used during the 2016 Brexit campaign.
To prepare for the mass vaccination campaign, the EU is bringing in former doctors, student nurses, pharmacists, and soldiers, as well as turning hospitals, care homes, convention centers, and sports halls into mass inoculation sites.
After revealing the planned vaccination days, the EU Commission president held a coronavirus response meeting with officials in member states to discuss the situation, efforts to supply vaccines across the bloc, and rapid testing strategies to control the spread of the virus.
Alongside the EU chief's statement, Germany's Health Minister Jens Spahn confirmed the proposed timeline before holding an online meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and BioNTech executives.
Both Germany and the EU said the rollout is contingent on the European Medicines Agency (EMA) approving the vaccine, developed by Pfizer and BioNTech, as planned, on December 23.
Merkel praised the development during the online event, declaring, "The fact that, in this extraordinary global situation, an mRNA vaccine like this is coming to the market so quickly is the result of the wonderful individual achievement of researchers, but also of our approach."
A number of countries have begun distributing the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine, with people in the UK, Canada, and Saudi Arabia already being inoculated. Meanwhile, China has already given its home-developed Sinovac jab to around a million of its citizens and, earlier this month, Russia started vaccinating the public with Sputnik V.

Will head 'super-committee' to run alongside existing No Deal preparation group chaired by Michael Gove
Boris Johnson has seized personal control of Britain's No Deal preparations as the deadline for historic talks with the EU expires today.
The move comes as Government sources put the chances of negotiations failing as high as 80 per cent, with German Chancellor Angela Merkel being blamed for the European Union's hard line.
One source said that she was 'determined to make Britain crawl across broken glass' rather than reach a compromise.
Mr Johnson's Whitehall intervention is aimed at protecting vital supplies of food and medicines after January 1. He will head a new 'super-committee' to run alongside the existing No Deal preparation group chaired by Michael Gove.
The Prime Minister and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen have agreed to take a firm decision on the future of the talks today - although they could theoretically continue up until Christmas Day, with the Commons even sitting on Boxing Day to put any deal on to the statute book.
Mr Johnson is, however, adamant that the UK will not go back to the negotiating table after December 31, when the Brexit transition period expires.
Talks were continuing into this morning, but one Government source said: 'As things stand, the offer on the table from the EU remains unacceptable. The Prime Minister will leave no stone unturned in this process, but he is absolutely clear: any agreement must be fair and respect the fundamental position that the UK will be a sovereign nation in three weeks' time. If they want a deal, it has to be now.'
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab this morning suggested that EU intransigence was being driven by Brussels' fears of UK success in the future.
'He told Sky's Ridge on Sunday: 'I think the Eu is concerned that actually Britain might do rather well once we leave the EU and is worried about the competitive advantage, even on the normal global rules that apply.'
He also suggested that the talks could continue after today if there is some progress.

'Final' Deadline for Brexit Deal Extended Yet Again as Year End Looms
The British and European Union negotiating teams have agreed to push back the latest in a long line of "final" deadlines for a Brexit deal to be done yet again, with both European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen and British prime minister Boris Johnson pledging to "go the extra mile".
"As things stand, and this was basically what Ursula and I agreed, we are still very far apart on some key things," Prime Minister Boris Johnson told Sky News.
"But where there is life there is hope. The UK certainly won't be walking away from talks, I think people would expect us to go the extra mile," he said - although some will question whether people would rather he had drawn a line under the talks in the summer, when the first "final" deadline for an agreement expired, as this would have allowed for much more clarity and much more planning time for businesses, expatriates, and others for a clean break with the European Union.
At present, it seems people will have mere days to prepare for whatever form of Brexit ultimately comes about at the end of 2020, with little knowledge of what support will become available - and indeed what opportunities may arise.

Prime Minister Johnson said he had offered, once again, to directly to foreign capitals for face-to-face talks with European government leaders - France's Emmanuel Macron and Germany's Angela Merkel are regarded as the key players in the bloc - but was, once again, rejected, with the unelected bureaucrats of the European Commission retaining their jurisdiction over the talks.
"I repeated my offer. If it's necessary to talk to other capitals then I'm very happy to do that. The Commission is very determined to keep the negotiations on the way that they've been done between us and the Commission," he said, perhaps hinting at some frustration with so-called eurocracy.
"The UK should continue to try. I think that's what the people of this country want me to do. We are going to continue to try and we're going to try with all our hearts. We'll be as creative as we possibly can. We remain willing to talk and continue to do so. In the meantime lets get ready for the WTO [World Trade Organization] option," Johnson insisted, while conceding that 'no deal' is is "the most likely thing now".
The issues dividing London and Brussels are, primarily, the same as they have been since at least 2017, namely the EU's demands that free trade in goods and services be tied to continued EU control over Britain's territorial waters - the EU currently assigns the the lion's share of Britain's fishing stocks to other member-states - and continued British submission to EU regulations, as interpreted by the EU courts.

So now the UK is on alert…'protecting their fishermen'…
The UK Navy is preparing to mobilize armed ships against French fishermen if negotiators can't strike a Brexit deal
Four armed ships from the UK Royal Navy are on standby to protect British fisheries from French fishermen, in the event of a no-deal Brexit, according to multiple reports.
The four ships would be authorized to board and impound any French or European fishing vessel within 200 miles of the British shore, according to Reuters.
"The MOD has conducted extensive planning and preparation to ensure that Defense is ready for a range of scenarios at the end of the transition period," a UK government rep said Saturday, according to reports from Reuters and CNN.
The British Royal Navy reportedly has put four of its armed ships on standby to protect its coastal waters from French fishermen, as Brexit talks between the UK and EU continue to focus on territorial rights to the sea between the two countries.
"The MOD has conducted extensive planning and preparation to ensure that Defence is ready for a range of scenarios at the end of the transition period," a representative said Saturday, according to reports from Reuters and CNN.
The rep added: "This preparation includes a standby package of 14,000 personnel to ensure that we are ready to support other government departments and authorities over the winter period, including with the EU transition, Covid-19 and potential severe weather events."
The UK is due to finish its transition out of the EU at the end of the year, with or without a new trade deal. The dispute over fishing areas has been one of three "critical" issues on which EU and UK Brexit negotiators haven't been able to agree, according to a joint statement last weekend from the prime minister, Boris Johnson, and Ursula von der Leyen, European Commission president.

Europe Bears Her Teeth: Threat to Cut Britain off Unless London Agrees to Terms
The European Commission followed up an unproductive "11th-hour" dinner meeting between their president and Britain's Boris Johnson with threats to refuse British air, road, and rail traffic unless the country agrees to submit to EU 'contingency' rules.
British air lines would be prevented from landing in European airports, British road hauled fright would be prevented from crossing borders, and the Eurotunnel railway that links Great Britain and France would be closed by the European Union if the UK government fails to meet Europe's demands by January 1st 2021.
While the document presenting the no-deal scenario - characterised as a list of threats even by pro-Remain outlets in Britain - promises a way out of these penalties, it is at a cost to Britain. In order to get a six-month reprieve from Europe's wrath, Britain has to agree to 12 months of surrendering its fishing waters and, much worse, agree to accept the EU's competition and 'level playing field' demand.
This, in particular, will stick in the craw of the UK government. The fact Europe wants to impose 'level playing field' requirements where the UK is prevented from innovating to improve its own competitiveness when trying to re-establish itself as an independent state is one of the major sticking points that has prevented a Brexit deal from being agreed at all.
The new document has been seen as an attempt to ratchet up the pressure on Boris Johnson, by making leaving the European Union without a deal on their terms not simple a neutral act of default, but one that Brussels would actively punish by imposing sanctions on Britain.
Boris Johnson replied in kind Thursday evening, by throwing more doubt on hopes among the Westminster and Brussels political elites for the deal they so badly want, and by telling British businesses to get ready for a no-deal Brexit. Noting that Britain's negotiators would continue to so "everything we possibly can", nevertheless he said: "I have to tell you in all candour that the treaty is not there yet and that is the strong view of our Cabinet as well."
Mr Johnson said there is a "strong possibility" of no deal, as of Thursday.
Reactions to the European Union's deal-cum-threat on Thursday were, from some quarters, quite negative. The Daily Telegraph cited the remarks of the chief executive of the National Federation of Fishermen's Organisations, who called the idea that Britain would still not have control over its fishing waters after leaving the European Union "completely unrealistic" and quite "uncomfortable".
Brexit leader Nigel Farage, meanwhile, called the fishing proposition a "huge insult". He told Sky News: "The European Union, from the start, has never really wanted to talk about a free trader agreement.
"Even this week, Ursula von der Leyen was saying 'I look forward to meeting Boris Johnson to discuss our Partnership Agreement'. They don't want a simple free trade agreement, and I'm afraid what Boris signed up to wasn't a simple free trade agreement.
"If Boris Johnson wanted a Canada-style relationship, he should never have signed what he called his 'oven-ready' deal."
Ultimately, Mr Farage said, "we should have left four years ago".

EU's Coronavirus Christmas Rules: No Communal Singing, Televised Church Only
The European Commission has released a set of Christmas Wuhan coronavirus guidelines including a proposal to ban communal singing.
The Commission guidelines were released on Wednesday and included lists of "recommended actions for member states" which instruct countries to look after vulnerable people such as the disabled, the mentally ill, or homeless, as well as set criteria for small social gatherings.
The guidelines also state that EU nations should "consider not allowing any mass gatherings" and said that anyone engaged in social events during the Christmas season should be forced to self-quarantine before and after the event for a recommended seven days.
Belgian Police Will Knock on Doors at Christmas to Enforce Coronavirus Rules https://t.co/tj1ve4vR5x
- Breitbart London (@BreitbartLondon) November 24, 2020
For Christmas ceremonies and services, the Commission recommends that they be done online or through radio or television broadcast and that communal singing should be banned.
"In case of ceremonies, consider avoiding large services or using online, TV or radio broadcasts, allocating specific spots for close families ('household bubbles') to sit together, and banning of communal singing. The use of masks is particularly relevant during these types of gatherings," the guidelines say.
During the outbreak of the Wuhan coronavirus in March, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen attempted to keep the internal border of the bloc open while many countries enacted their own border controls.
The Christmas regulations state that "any measures restricting free movement to protect public health must be proportionate and non-discriminatory, and must be lifted as soon as the epidemiological situation allows".
"Whilst travel itself is a risk factor, the generalised widespread transmission of COVID-19 across the Member States means that at present, intra-EU cross-border travel does not present a significant added risk," the guideline adds.
The Commission also acknowledges what it calls "pandemic fatigue" among the citizens of member states and said at least 60 per cent of countries are experiencing some form of fatigue with people becoming tired of lockdowns, social distancing, and economic restrictions.

World Economic Forum-Endorsed "Great Reset" Seeks to Eliminate Currency, Private Property
With the possible election of Joe Biden, Progressives and the Globalists believe it's their time and they are running for the rhetorical goal line
With the results of the 2020 General Election soon to be discovered, the next great threat on the horizon - aside from losing the Republic to Democratic Socialism forever, is "The Great Reset." It will impact everyone on the planet and be the declaration that Big Brother is here to stay. Global political elitists, like European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and failed Democrat presidential candidate and former Secretary of State John Kerry, are positioning themselves to use Democrat presidential hopeful Joe Biden as the driver of the World Economic Forum's "The Great Reset" mission. The Great Reset seeks to execute an intrusive and wholesale transformation of the world's economy and the economic system we have known since the beginning of time. It seeks to radically alter the world's economy by: abolishing money in deference to digital currency, which the government would be able to adjust and control; eliminating all private property, and greatly reducing the potency of democracy for the sake of a "New World Order."
In a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum, Kerry said Biden is ready to not only rejoin the Paris Climate Agreement - which would literally eliminate more than a million jobs in the US - but be the driver for the "Great Reset" whereby unelected global bureaucrats would literally take control of the sovereign governments of the world. "The notion of a reset is more important than ever before," Kerry said. "I personally believe...we're at the dawn of an extremely exciting time." Kerry reiterated what Biden has already said in so many stump speeches: The first thing he would do as President would be to rejoining the job-killing Paris Climate Agreement. But Kerry said, bluntly, that act was not enough. "I know Joe Biden believes this. It's not enough just to rejoin [the Paris Climate Agreement] for the United States. It's not enough for us to do just the minimum of what [the agreement] requires," Kerry said. "The Biden administration will focus on every sector of the American economy. There will be a 2035 goal to achieve net neutrality with respect to power and production...we're ready to come back in and help to lead and raise the ambition in Glasgow to accelerate this incredible capacity for a transformation in the private sector."
A critical part of new Biden-European Commission relationship, according to von der Leyen, includes implementing a new "rulebook for the digital economy and the digital society." The titular leader of the Globalist movement, which seeks to undermine the sovereignty of all nations, von der Leyen said: "So, covering everything from data to infrastructure, but also talking about security and democracy, technology to fair taxation, all of these are topics on the table with digital change. So, ladies and gentlemen, the need for global cooperation and this acceleration of change will both be drivers of the Great Reset. And I see this as an unprecedented opportunity. "It's good to have a friend in the White House. We should not forget what kind of strength we can develop...we need a new agenda and of course, we will have to start with the most pressing issue which is COVID-19...the second big topic is climate change, fighting climate change...the third topic is the tech topic."
The mainstream, in-the-pocket, elitist media will also play a huge role in the Great Reset, von der Leyen suggests. New York Times columnist Ben Smith said the media sees themselves as rule-makers; the anointed class that sets the national agenda. "I think that you're seeing the mainstream media institutions become a bit more confident in trying to set the national agenda," Smith said, "trying to establish priorities that they think are the priorities rather than simply reacting to what's happening..."

John Kerry Says 'Great Reset' Is Needed To Stop Rise Of Populism
Former Secretary of State John Kerry attended a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum during which he asserted that a great reset was urgently needed to stop the rise of populism.
Kerry vowed that under a Biden administration, America would rejoin the job-killing Paris Climate Agreement but that this was "not enough."
"The notion of a reset is more important than ever before," Kerry said.
"I personally believe… we're at the dawn of an extremely exciting time."
The former Senator made it clear that this "reset," which is merely a re-branding of the same new world order that has faced stiff resistance for the past two decades, is necessary to extinguish populism.
"I think Europe has to look at that with Brexit and the rising national populism - nationalistic populism," said Kerry.
"Which is really one of the priorities that we all have to address. You can't dismiss it."
Speaking about how Trump increased his vote in 2020, Kerry noted, "What astounds me is that as many people still voted for the level of chaos and breach of law and order and breaking the standards and ... I think that, the underlying reason for that is something that everybody has to examine."
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen also welcomed the prospect of Biden as a "friend in the White House" to the globalists and said the two entities would work on "a new rulebook for the digital economy and the digital society."
"The need for global cooperation and this acceleration of change will both be drivers of the Great Reset. And I see this as an unprecedented opportunity," said von der Leyen.
As we have exhaustively documented, "The Great Reset" is merely the latest incarnation of the agenda to centralize power into the hands of a tiny elite, disenfranchising Americans, lowering their living standards and forcing them to submit to a social credit score system that will eliminate all privacy and personal autonomy.
As we reported yesterday, legacy media outlets like the New York Times are still claiming the "Great Reset" is a "conspiracy theory" even as world leaders openly announce it.

The pair joined a chorus of world leaders who congratulated Mr Biden, including British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, despite votes still outstanding, recounts looming, and President Trump refusing to concede, alleging voter fraud and improprieties in crucial swing states.
The globalist German politicians have often been at odds with President Trump's America First agenda, which focussed heavily on forcing Nato Allies in Europe - Germany in particular - to pay their fair share in military spending.
In 2014, every NATO member state promised to spend at least two per cent of their respective gross domestic products on military spending by the year 2024, however, Germany has refused to abide by the pledge, saying that it only "hopes" to reach the target by 2031.
According to the latest figures released from the military alliance, Germany - despite being the top economy in the EU - only spent 1.38 per cent of its GDP on defence in 2019.
In a 2018 exclusive interview with Breitbart London, then-American Ambassador to Germany, Richard Grenell, described Germany as being "woeful" in living up to its NATO commitments.
"Germany is the largest economy in Europe. They made a commitment to NATO, and they should be serious about that commitment; it is a multilateral institution that guarantees the allies, guaranteeing freedom," Grenell said.
In response to Germany's failures to pay its fair share, President Trump announced in August that the United States would be reducing its military presence in the country, in favour of relocating troops to other countries such as Poland.

Angela Merkel is said to be particularly keen on the prospects of working with Mr Biden on the issue of supposedly man-made climate change.
Ahead of last week's election, President Trump argued that Biden's green agenda will not be effective in reducing emissions, as he said that windmills require vast amounts of energy to be produced. Trump went on to argue that the green policies will only serve to outsource more jobs, resulting in an "economic death sentence" for the fracking industry.
"He wants to go wind. ... He wants to go with windmills made Germany and China and send big, big carbon into the air when they're making them," Trump said at a rally in Pennsylvania in October.

Lavrov Has Had It. Proposes Russia Stops Talking to the West
Sergei Lavrov is a man of no gimmicks-if he says something, that means he means it. By definition it also means Kremlin means it. So, today, he says it as it is at Valdai Conference:
"?? ????, ??????? ???????? ?? ??????? ???????? ?? ?????? ? ?? ???????? ????????????? ??????????????????? ?????????, - ????????, ?? ?????? ?????? ?? ?????-?? ????? ????????? ? ???? ????????. ??? ????? ??? ?????? ??? ??? ????? ????????, ??? ? ???????? ?????????? ??????? ???????????????? ??????????? ?? ??????????. ??? ???? ? ????, ???? ??? ????? ?????"
Translation: Those people in the West who are responsible for foreign policy and do not understand the necessity of mutually respectful conversation-well, we must simply end communication with them for a while. Especially since Ursula von der Leyen states that geopolitical partnership with current Russia's leadership is impossible. If this is the way they want it, so be it.
It is my long-standing contention that any professional discussion between Lavrov and former gynecologist such as von der Leyen, including Germany's Foreign Minister Maas, who is a lawyer and a party worm of German politics is a waste of time. Western "elites" and "intellectuals" are simply on a different, much lower level, than said Lavrov.
You do not negotiate with monkeys, you treat them nicely, you make sure that they are not abused, but you don't negotiate with them, same as you don't negotiate with toddlers. They want to have their Navalny as their toy-let them. I call on Russia to start wrapping economic activity up with EU for a long time. They buy Russia's hydrocarbons and hi-tech, fine. Other than that, any other activity should be dramatically reduced and necessity of the Iron Curtain must not be doubted anymore.
I reiterate, there is nothing in common culturally between modern Russia and the West and the gap is growing. Europe is being primed for cultural and demographic suicide, not to speak of institutionalizing degeneracy both in art and in real life, plus the US needs to eat someone to extend its agony for a little bit longer. It is totally logical, and if I need to see Renaissance art, Hermitage gives Louvre a run for its money. EU is a cemetery and one doesn't do business with cemetery other than burying.
Lavrov's statement today is important in that it shows that Kremlin has written the current EU off. As I have stated for years, observing events in EU, when I have the time, I totally expect a stream of refugees from Europe to Russia soon, because many still sane Westerners will be faced with a terrifying choice: either adapt to living in Orwellian reality including a fairly fast (in historic term) transition to third world economies and standard of living, or making a decision to regain personal liberty and common sense, and economic stability and opportunity in Russia and those East European nations which will maintain strong economic ties with Russia.

Brexit 'trade talks are over': UK sees no point in more negotiations unless EU changes its stance
The UK sees no point in continuing trade talks with the EU unless it "fundamentally changes" its position, a spokesman for Britain's PM Boris Johnson has said, blaming the bloc for failed negotiations.
The EU's chief negotiator Michel Barnier should only come to London for a meeting scheduled next week if he was willing to discuss details on travel and cargo haulage, the spokesman said on Friday.
"There is no point in trade talks if the EU doesn't change its position. The EU effectively ended the trade talks yesterday. Only if the EU fundamentally changes its position, will it be worth talking," he said.
The trade talks are over: the EU have effectively ended them by saying that they do not want to change their negotiating position.
Earlier in the day, Johnson unequivocally said the UK was ready for a no-deal Brexit and would rather stick to the "Australia solution" if the EU would not change its stance.
"It's becoming clear the EU don't want to do the type of Canada deal that we originally asked for," he said.
The "Australia solution" means the UK will not have any special agreement with the European Union, but rather would do business according to the World Trade Organization (WTO) rules starting from January, when the Brexit transition period ends. A no-deal divorce with the EU and trade on WTO rules, with all the applicable tariffs, is likely to trigger a sharp increase in prices across the UK.
London's rhetoric met with angry reaction in the EU, with President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, suggesting the bloc would rather walk away from the negotiations as well but would not give in to Britain's pressure.
"We are ready for a deal, but not at any price," France's President Emmanuel Macron said, insisting that that Britain needed a deal more than the EU.

Amongst the several issues holding up progress on a deal, it is the dispute over fishing that has come to a head in negotiations between London and Brussels, with countries like France set to lose out by the UK regaining control over her territorial waters.
"Under no condition can our fishermen be sacrificed during Brexit," Mr Macron said on Thursday at the Brussels summit, according to The Times. "If conditions aren't met, it's possible we don't have an agreement. We are ready for that. If there are no good terms found at the end of the discussion, we are ready for a no-deal," he added.
Mr Macron further laid claim to British waters as being 'European', saying: "We didn't choose Brexit. It's the British people's choice. So protecting the access of our fishermen to British waters, finding a good compromise for our fishermen - and I'm talking about all European countries concerned including France - is an important point in this discussion, for us."

Downing Street was said to have been dismayed by the remarks, with Britain's chief negotiator Lord David Frost saying that he was "disappointed" by the summit's conclusions. Frost was further "surprised" that the EU refused to begin intensive talks, despite that being agreed on with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on October 3rd.
"I'm also surprised by the suggestion that to get an agreement, all future moves must come from the UK. It's an unusual approach to conducting a negotiation," Mr Frost said.
Even German Chancellor Angela Merkel admitted earlier this week that for a deal to be struck, it must be mutually beneficial for both parties - suggesting movement should come from more than just the British. German sources have also told The Telegraph that a no-deal Brexit would mean the EU losing all of its access to British fishing waters, and not just some, suggesting that while France is holding the hard line, Germany is inclined to be more pragmatic.
October 15th, the day of the European summit, was the day by which the prime minister had said that he would set a deadline for agreeing on a deal, or walking away and preparing for a World Trade Organization (WTO) relationship with the bloc.
Brussels' chief negotiator Michel Barnier dismissed the deadline as another that Johnson would miss, and offered to come to London on Monday for further negotiations.
Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte also called Johnson's bluff, saying: "Britain has already imposed so many deadlines that came and went."
However, Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced on Friday afternoon that since there are only ten weeks left until the end of the transition period, on January 1st, "I have to make a judgement on the likely outcome and to get us ready.
"Given that they have refused to negotiate seriously for much of the last few months, and given this summit appears explicitly to rule out a Canada-style deal, I concluded that we should get ready for January the first, with arrangements that are more like Australia's, based on simple principles of global free trade."
The prime minister said: "For whatever reason, it's clear from the summit that after 45 years of membership, they are not willing... to offer this country the same terms as Canada."
Continuing: "We will prosper mightily as a free-trading nation, controlling our own borders, fisheries, and setting our own laws."
He added that "we can do it" because it was always clear that there would be changes no matter what deal was struck with the bloc, and called on travellers, businesses, and hauliers to "get ready".

EU Commission chief von der Leyen leaves Brussels summit for 2nd Covid quarantine in a month
The president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, left the EU summit in Brussels suddenly on Thursday, after it transpired a member of her office had tested positive for the virus.
The Commission chief left the summit less than an hour after it began, saying she was going into quarantine, in line with coronavirus health rules.
"I have just been informed that a member of my front office has tested positive to Covid-19 this morning. I, myself, have tested negative," she tweeted. "However, as a precaution, I am immediately leaving the European Council to go into self-isolation."
This is the second quarantine for von der Leyen this month, as she already self-isolated on October 5, after meeting a person who later tested positive for Covid-19.
EU leaders continued the meeting on Thursday as planned. Before her abrupt departure, von der Leyen met with Czech PM Andrej Babi? and Portuguese PM Antonio Costa.
Prior to the summit, von der Leyen said the discussions would focus not only on Brexit trade negotiations and other matters, but on Covid-19, because "citizens expect clear and effective answers."
Speaking about the pandemic before the start of the two-day summit, she said the situation in Europe was "more worrisome," but EU leaders had agreed on a "traffic light" to help member states identify whether to require testing or quarantine for non-essential EU travelers such as tourists.
von der Leyen told reporters that the EU needed to establish common rules on quarantining and testing, instead of the current confusion of different regulations across the bloc. She also said the EU would help member states prepare their vaccination campaigns.
"If we want our vaccination to be successful, we need to prepare now," she tweeted.

Pope, Orange Comms.
Pope in TED talk: Earth cannot be squeezed 'like an orange'
Francis laid out three paths of action: promoting education about the environment "based on scientific data and an ethical approach," assuring drinking water and an adequate food supply through sustainable agriculture and promoting the transformation from fossil fuels to clean energy sources.
"We have just a few years - scientists calculate roughly fewer than 30 - to drastically reduce the emissions of gas and the greenhouse effect in the atmosphere," the pope said, adding that the transition needs to take into account the impact on the poor, local populations and those who work in the energy sector.
He called on investors to exclude companies that do not taking into account the environment, as have many faith-based organizations already have.
"In fact, the earth must be taken care of, cultivated and protected; we cannot continue to squeeze it like anorange.And we can say this, taking care of the Earth is a human right," Francis said.

European Parliament President Sassoli self-isolating after member of his staff tests positive for Covid-19
The president of the European Parliament, David Sassoli, announced on Thursday he would self-isolate after contact with a Covid-19 infected person.
"I was recently in contact with a member of my staff who today tested positive for Covid-19," Sassoli tweeted. "In accordance with the rules, I'll be self-isolating for the required period to carry out the necessary checks."
The EU Parliament head said he feels fine and has "no symptoms."
Sassoli has already put himself into quarantine once - back in March, after spending a weekend in Italy, where the government had placed the entire country under lockdown to stop the spread of coronavirus infections. The parliament chief said at the time that he planned to work from his home in Brussels "as a precaution" in compliance with the health protocol.
He is not the only EU leader who had to self-isolate lately. European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen said on Monday she was self-isolating after attending a state council meeting in Portugal where a participant later tested positive for Covid-19.
Although von der Leyen canceled a scheduled trip to Greece, she said she would leave quarantine on Tuesday, despite the EU recommendation of 14 days of self-isolation following suspected contact with a positive case. The commission head, who has twice tested negative for the virus, has instead followed Belgium's rules, which have been softened compared to EU guidelines.
EU Council President Charles Michel also postponed a scheduled EU summit in September, after contact with a member of his security team who later tested positive for the coronavirus.

7 bodies discovered along France-Italy border in wake of Storm Alex's wrath, EU pledges support
Major search and rescue operations continue along the French-Italian border after torrential flooding ravaged the mountainous areas near Nice. Seven bodies have been discovered as fears mount of more missing and dead.
At least 1,000 emergency services personnel, four military helicopters and a number of troops were dispatched to search for people in the mountainous region after Storm Alex struck on Friday.
The flash flooding swept away houses and roads, left some 10,500 homes without power and stranded dozens of people in high mountain passes who needed to be rescued via helicopter in a major cross-border operation by French and Italian emergency services.
To make matters worse, there are fears that far more people may be dead or missing than official figures might indicate, as mobile phone services are down in the region, hampering rescue efforts.

Five of the bodies have been discovered in north-western Italy, four of whom were found between the towns of Ventimiglia and Santo Stefano al Mare. Another body was found in a vehicle which had been swept away during a flash flood in the village Saint-Martin-Vesubie.
A total of nine people have been found dead after flash flooding hit the area on Friday, with almost a year's average rainfall hitting the region in less than 12 hours.
Nice Mayor Christian Estrosi claimed over 100 homes had been severely damaged or completely destroyed in the floods. Italian firefighters rescued some 25 people who became trapped on the French side of a mountain pass due to flooding.

Meanwhile, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, self-isolating after contact with a Covid-19 positive person, tweeted her support for all of those affected by Storm Alex in France and Italy, adding that both nations had the full support of the EU.
"Solidarity with all those affected by bad weather in northern Italy. The European Copernicus satellite has been activated. We are ready to provide further assistance in this difficult time. Italy can count on our full support," she said.

"The Alpes Maritimes were severely affected by storm Alex. The European Union is wholeheartedly with France. The European Copernicus satellite was activated to help the civil protection authorities on the ground. We are ready to provide further assistance as needed," von der Leyen added.

=Brexit talks: 'Progress made, but gaps remain' after talks between UK PM Johnson & EU's Ursula von der Leyen
There are significant gaps between the positions of London and Brussels on what their future trade relations should look like, but finding an agreement "if at all possible" is important, the British PM's office has said.
An update on the progress of the UK-EU trade agreement talks was given on Saturday by the office of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson after he spoke with Ursula von der Leyen, the president of the European Commission.
The parties "agreed on the importance of finding an agreement, if at all possible, as a strong basis for a strategic EU-UK relationship in future," the statement said.
Johnson and von der Leyen noted that some progress has been made in the talks in recent weeks, but that at the same time "significant gaps remained, notably but not only in the areas of fisheries, the level playing field, and governance."

Time is running out for hammering out a new trade agreement between Britain and the EU. They will switch to general World Trade Organization rules next year unless a deal is made.
Earlier this week, the EU launched legal action against the UK over the proposed legislation on the internal British market, which would breach the terms of the Brexit agreement regulating the situation in Ireland if passed into law.

EU begins legal action against UK after it approves contentious Brexit bill
not in qresear.ch
Key points:
- The U.K. has said the Internal Market Bill, which now requires the approval of the House of Lords, will protect the integrity of the U.K.
- European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the bloc had given Britain until the end of September to remove "problematic parts" of the bill, but the deadline has now lapsed and the provisions remained.
- The EU had previously said the proposed legislation would constitute an "extremely serious violation" of the withdrawal agreement.
LONDON - European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Thursday it has formally notified the U.K. over its contentious plan to override the Brexit divorce deal, marking the first step in legal proceedings.
The notification came after U.K. lawmakers approved Prime Minister Boris Johnson's Internal Market Bill earlier this week, despite some ministers admitting the legislation could lead to the country breaching international law.
The U.K. has said the proposed legislation, which now requires the approval of the House of Lords, will protect the integrity of the U.K. The bill would allow ministers to unilaterally amend elements of the country's withdrawal agreement with the EU.
It has amplified divisions between the U.K. and Europe, threatening to scupper trade talks during the post-Brexit transition period.
"If adopted as is, it will be in full contradiction to the protocol of Ireland-Northern Ireland," von der Leyen said in a televised statement.
The head of the EU's executive arm said it had given Britain until the end of September to remove "problematic parts" of the Internal Market Bill, but the deadline has now lapsed and the provisions remained.
What is the Internal Market Bill?
The Internal Market Bill would grant the British government powers to not consult the EU in state aid cases involving the trade of goods between Northern Ireland and the rest of the EU. The U.K. had agreed to do the opposite when signing its divorce deal with the EU in January.
The bill could also change requirements that Northern Irish firms complete export summary declarations when shipping goods to the mainland.
The dispute has prompted some analysts to suggest the U.K. and EU will ultimately fail to reach a trade agreement.
The absence of a deal before the end of the year would see the U.K. trade with the EU on World Trade Organization rules. This would mean higher costs and barriers for businesses on both sides of the English Channel, when compared with the current system.

'The deadline lapsed yesterday': EU launches legal action against UK over 'problematic' Brexit bill
The EU has activated a legal process against the UK after it failed to amend its controversial 'Internal Market Bill' which Brussels considers inconsistent with the previously agreed Brexit withdrawal agreement.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Thursday that Brussels had sent a formal letter of notice to the UK and that London had until the end of September to remove the "problematic parts" of its draft Internal Market Bill, including the part on the Irish border issue.
This draft bill is by its very nature a breach of the obligation of good faith laid down in the Withdrawal Agreement. Moreover, if adopted as is, it will be in full contradiction to the Protocol on Northern Ireland.
"The deadline lapsed yesterday," von der Leyen said, explaining that the letter of formal notice to the British government was the first step in launching the infringement procedure.
"The Commission will continue to work hard towards the full and timely implementation of the Withdrawal Agreement. We stand by our commitments," she said.
The UK government now has a month to reply to the complaint. The EU will then assess Britain's arguments once more and may ask it to amend the bill again. If London refuses again, the EU could sue the UK at the Luxembourg-based European Court of Justice.
Following the announcement, a spokesperson for the British government reiterated that London has "clearly set our reasons" for altering the Brexit withdrawal deal agreed upon in January.
We need to create a legal safety net to protect the integrity of the UK's internal market, ensure ministers can always deliver on their obligations to Northern Ireland and protect the gains from the peace process.
Meanwhile, Michael Gove, the UK minister responsible for Brexit issues, said he believed an agreement could still be reached with "goodwill on both sides" but London has "clear red lines" that it will not cross.

Orbán Rejects Migration Pact, Says EU Wants to 'Manage Migration' Not Stop It
The central European Visegrád group has criticised the European Commission's planned reform of the EU's asylum policy, which could ultimately force members to accept migrants.
This week, the EU's powerful executive arm announced that it would be scrapping the Dublin arrangements and replacing it with a "strong new solidarity mechanism". The proposal would also open up more routes for migration and asylum.
Euractiv reported that the mechanism would give member-states a choice between hosting migrants or being responsible for returning failed asylum seekers under the "returned sponsorship schemes".
While it is claimed accepting migrants would not be mandatory, the website notes that under a proposed "crisis preparedness" mechanism, nations would be forced to take migrants either permanently or during the repatriation process, such a crisis being on the scale of the 2015 Europe migrant crisis itself.
The report even suggests that states which opt to simply hold illegals until deportation will ending up having to keep them, owing to the difficulty of repatriation.
The mass migration-sceptic Visegrád, comprised of Hungary, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia, rejected the proposals after meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Thursday. (Slovakia's premier was not present, and was represented by his Czech counterpart.)

Top Scottish law adviser resigns from UK's government amid Brexit's legal turmoil
Advocate General for Scotland Richard Keen has resigned from British government amid the ongoing row over PM Boris Johnson's Brexit plans that could breach international laws and the EU divorce treaty.
The resignation followed reports by British media that Keen had found it increasingly difficult to reconcile with Johnson's plan to 'tweak' the Brexit deal with a new law.
"Lord Keen has resigned as Advocate General for Scotland. The Prime Minister thanks him for his service," the Downing Street said in a statement on Wednesday.
The controversial legislation, known as the Internal Market Bill was unveiled last week, with the top UK officials admitting that it could violate the international laws in a "limited" way. The revelation sparked a major international scandal, with the EU, Ireland and other players rushing to condemn London's move. Brussels demanded Johnson to scrap the bill, warning it might jeopardize the talks on future trade arrangements between the bloc and the UK.
"With every day that passes, the chances of a timely agreement do start to fade," she warned in a speech to the European Parliament. The divorce agreement "cannot be unilaterally changed, disregarded or dis-applied," President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen said on Wednesday. "This is a matter of law, trust and good faith... Trust is the foundation of any strong partnership."
Britain remains a part of the EU's single market during the post-Brexit transition period set to end at the end of this year, and the ongoing scandal increases the risks of the whole deal with the EU falling apart. Still, Johnson refused to shelve the legislation.
"This bill is intended to uphold the economic, the political, territorial integrity of the UK," Johnson told parliament. Earlier, he said the legislation was needed to counter "absurd" threats from Brussels that emerge during the trade talks.

'No place in our Union': EU chief bashes Polish 'LGBT-free zones' & promotes supportive strategy
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has attacked the Polish government for condoning the establishment of 'LGBT ideology-free zones,' and announced impending countermeasures.
"LGBTQI-free zones are humanity free zones," von der Leyen said on Wednesday while addressing the European Parliament.
And they have no place in our [European] Union.
The chief executive added that any breaches of European laws regarding the treatment of the LGBT community "cannot be tolerated".
Polish officials' openly anti-gay positions have also prompted the Commission to develop a "strategy to strengthen LGBTQI rights" in the bloc. As part of it, there will be a push to recognize registered same-sex family relations between EU citizens by all member countries. "If you are parent in one country, you are parent in every country," von der Leyen said.
Currently, some countries in the Union do not recognize same sex marriage and parenthood, which sometimes leads to citizens, most importantly children, having differing legal statuses when crossing borders inside the EU.
Starting this year, various regions of Poland have declared themselves 'LGBT ideology-free zones,' which coincided with local bans of gay marriages and LGBT events. Right now, these zones make up about a third of the country.
In July the European Commissioner for Justice and Equality Helena Dalli announced that six Polish cities would not be granted EU funding for adopting the 'LGBT-free zones'.

China's Human Rights Record Under Scrutiny As Sino-EU Summit Draws Near
Over 60 members of the European Parliament and rights group Reporters Without Borders (RSF) are calling on top European leaders to address China's human rights issues at the upcoming virtual EU-China summit to be held on Sept. 14.
Chinese leader Xi Jinping will co-host the meeting with Charles Michel, president of the European Council, which defines the European Union's general policies and priorities. Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, the EU's executive branch, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel will also participate in the meeting. Germany currently holds the rotating EU presidency.
The meeting, originally scheduled to be held in the German city of Leipzig, will be held via video conference instead due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the European Council website, the four will discuss climate change, economic and trade issues, as well as responses to the pandemic, which is caused by the CCP (Chinese Communist Party) virus, commonly known as the novel coronavirus.
The online summit on Monday is under close scrutiny as relations between China and the EU have soured recently. In March last year, the European Commission called China "a systematic rival" in a report about the bilateral relationship. Last month, EU Foreign Minister Joseph Borrell called China "a new empire" and asked EU members to "correct" their economic imbalances with China, in a commentary published in French newspaper Le Journal de Dimanche.
Meanwhile, 63 members of the European Parliament signed a joint letter addressed to Michel, von der Leyen, and Merkel, urging them to "ensure that there will be consequences if the Chinese government continues to flaunt its human rights obligations. We call for the EU to put human rights at the top of the agenda at the EU-China Summit and in future discussions."

Pelosi warns London there will be 'absolutely no chance' of UK-US trade deal if it violates Brexit protocol on Northern Ireland
Any violation the Good Friday Agreement by London will make a trade deal between the UK and the US totally impossible, Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi has warned.
Pelosi issued a strongly-worded statement on Wednesday after British authorities admitted that their new 'Internal Market Bill' could violate international law in a "limited way." The bill would allow the UK to circumvent its Brexit withdrawal agreement with Brussels, particularly in relation to the protocol on Northern Ireland.
"The Good Friday Agreement is the bedrock of peace in Northern Ireland and an inspiration for the whole world," Pelosi said. "The UK must respect the Northern Ireland Protocol as signed with the EU to ensure the free flow of goods across the border."
She added that "if the UK violates that international treaty" and Brexit ends up undermining the Good Friday peace accord, there will be "absolutely no chance" of a US-UK trade agreement passing the US Congress.
The explosive admission about the new Internal Market Bill was made by British government officials on Tuesday, triggering international scorn. The London-appointed Northern Ireland secretary Brandon Lewis said the proposals would indeed break international law in a "very specific and limited way."
The "limited" scale of the law violation has apparently not reassured other parties in the UK-EU divorce saga. EU Commission boss Ursula von der Leyen said that such tricky legal moves "break international law and undermines trust," warning that the controversial bill might throw London's trade talks with the bloc under the bus.
Ireland, for its part, said it perceived the admission as a threat from London, with its deputy Prime Minister Leo Varadkar branding the revelation as a "kamikaze" statement.

EU Reportedly Set to 'Sideline Chief Negotiator Michel Barnier' in a Bid to End Brexit Stalemate
In late August both negotiating sides appeared to agree that a no-deal Brexit is a highly probable option, however, there is still a glimmer of hope the sides can crack the deadlock later on, potentially through a bit of administrative change.
The EU is set to sideline the bloc's chief Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier to try to end the persistent deadlock in negotiations, The Telegraph has reported citing sources. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen is thereby expected to ultimately help arrange a trade deal between the bloc and the UK, with the heads of the 27 remaining member states reportedly set to take over the role of "sidelined" Barnier after von der Leyen's speech on 16 September.
As an EU diplomat shared with The Telegraph, von der Leyen is expected to "set the scene to sideline Barnier and [the UK's David] Frost to find a high level political solution".
The talks on the EU behalf are expected to be led by the European Commission president, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, and President of the European Council Charles Michel.

EU trade commissioner RESIGNS after outcry over attending quarantine-defying golf party in Ireland
EU Commissioner Phil Hogan is the latest political casualty of the 'Golfgate' scandal in which a host of Irish politicians partied at a golf club dinner, hours after introducing strict lockdown measures for the public.
Hogan, a member of Ireland's Fine Gael party, announced his resignation on Wednesday. One day earlier, he briefed Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on his activities in Ireland last week.
Hogan attended a lavish party at the Station House Hotel in Clifden, County Galway, last Wednesday. Together with more than 80 people, including current and former MPs, senators, ambassadors and a supreme court judge, Hogan dined in an event organized by the Oireachtas (Parliament) Golf Society.
While guests sat ten to a table, the Irish public were hit with new coronavirus lockdown measures. These included a ban on indoor gatherings of more than six people at home and more than 50 in restaurants. Most pubs in the country remain closed too, and the entire county of Kildare, which borders Dublin, is under strict lockdown.
Hogan insisted that he broke no regulations, as he tested negative for Covid-19 two weeks before the dinner. However, Irish regulations require anyone returning from abroad - as Hogan did from Brussels - to quarantine for 14 days, test or no test. Since his return from Belgium, it emerged that not only did Hogan not quarantine at home, he journeyed to Dublin, Kilkenny and Limerick - via the quarantined county of Kildare.

EU to sanction all those 'responsible for violence, repression & falsification of election results' in Belarus
The European Union has announced that it will be placing new sanctions on Belarus, following an emergency meeting to discuss the situation in the country. The move comes after ten days of protests in Minsk and other cities.
Following the video conference, European Council President Charles Michel said that the bloc would impose sanctions on Belarusian officials accused of being responsible for "shocking and unacceptable" acts perpetrated against anti-government protesters.
The penalties will be imposed on a "substantial number" of individuals. EU leaders also collectively agreed that the results of Belarus' August 9 elections were "fraudulent."
EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said there was unanimous support for the sanctions, and that the economic restrictions will be implemented without "hurting the people of Belarus." A list of individuals to be included should be adopted "as soon as possible," she added.
Officials declined to say whether Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko would be targeted directly by the measures.
von der Leyen said the EU would support a peaceful transition of power in Belarus, and would allocate 53 million euros ($63.3 million) to support civil society and the country's Covid-19 response.
The bloc also said that it wanted to see new elections in Belarus.
Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, the main opposition candidate in the disputed election, urged the European Council ahead of its meeting to not recognize Belarus' the results. She said that a new ballot should be held under international supervision, but stressed that the EU should respect the choice of the Belarusian people.

EU does not accept Belarus election results, preparing sanctions - Foreign policy chief Borrell
The European Union is refusing to recognize election results in Belarus and is preparing sanctions over the 'rigged' vote and the heavy-handed police response to protests, EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has confirmed.
The EU "doesn't accept election results" in Minsk, Borrell tweeted on Friday evening, adding that work has begun on "sanctioning those responsible for violence [and] falsification" of the vote.
Borrell's comments come after a conference call of 27 EU foreign ministers, which ended in a consensus that the Belarus elections "were rigged," according to Slovakian FM Ivan Korcok.
"We cannot ignore the facts of election fraud and the use of force," Polish Foreign Minister Jacek Czaputowicz said after the meeting, adding that the EU foreign policy unit has been tasked with putting together a list of officials to be sanctioned.
Mass protests began shortly after the presidential election last Sunday, which the incumbent President Aleksandr Lukashenko won in a landslide, according to official results. Thousands have been arrested and two people have died in the five days of unrest, with viral videos showing law enforcement brutally dispersing demonstrators calling for regime change.
Ahead of the ministerial teleconference, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called for "additional sanctions against those who violated democratic values or abused human rights" in Belarus and expressed confidence the foreign ministers will "demonstrate our strong support for the rights of the people in Belarus to fundamental freedoms and democracy."
Opposition candidate Svetlana Tikhanovskaya, who has fled to Lithuania after Belarus security services said they intercepted a plot to assassinate her, called for peace on the streets - but insisted the election had been rigged. Lukashenko maintains the vote count was fair.

The elites want women in charge so that women as a group can be blamed for the collapse of the West. They are doing the same thing with Ursula von der Leyen, Angela Merkel and Christine Lagarde over in Europe.
That's the agenda. Put women in positions of power and then crash everything. That way the elites can use the collapse of the West as a reason to subjugate women all over again - Handmaid's Tale style.

EU Commission Declares Asylum Rejections at Borders Illegal
The European Commission has declared that European Union member states cannot reject asylum applications at their borders or close their borders to asylum seekers.
Ylva Johansson, Commissioner for Internal Affairs and Migration, stated that countries should not push back migrants from the border and that all asylum applications should be allowed to take place within the territory of the European Union.
"Rejections are illegal. Not everyone has the right to asylum, but everyone has the right to be treated in line with our values. When people apply for asylum in the EU, they appeal to European values. And we must honour that appeal," Ms Johansson said, according to Il Giornale.
Johansson added that the EU would be conducting investigations into member states which rejected migrants at their borders. The commissioner said: "We cannot protect EU borders by violating people's rights. In my opinion, it is time to consider the possibility of setting up a new mechanism to monitor border rejections. We have to make sure that Member States respect EU law."
Even during the coronavirus crisis, the European Union has made it clear it supports borders being open for asylum seekers.
In March, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen initially tried to keep all of the EU internal borders open, stating: "In this moment of crisis it is of utmost importance to keep our internal market going."
Many countries closed their borders due to the pandemic, but have recently seen a surge in new asylum seeker arrivals upon relaxing the lockdowns, particularly in Italy.
Arrivals have coincided with migrant transport NGOs also resuming their activities in the Mediterranean in recent weeks.
Last week, Italian NGO Mediterranea Saving Humans brought 43 migrants from North Africa to Italy, eight of them testing positive for the Wuhan coronavirus. A month before, the German NGO Sea-Watch brought 209 migrants, with 28 of them testing positive for the virus.

Outrage After Commission Backs Party in National Elections, Breaching EU Rules on Impartiality
The European Union's executive arm blamed a series of technical mistakes after its top official threw her support behind the ruling conservative party in Croatia's parliamentary elections, in breach of political neutrality guidelines.
Ursula von der Leyen, the German president of the European Commission, appeared with other center-right politicians in a promotional video clip posted over the weekend by the Croatian Democratic Union (HDZ) ahead of Sunday's vote.
A former defense minister in Germany, von der Leyen is a member of the center-right Christian Democratic Union (CDU) and belongs to the same European People's Party as HDZ. But the code of conduct for members of the European Commission states that they "shall abstain from making public statements or interventions on behalf of any political party or organization of the social partners of which they are members," except when they stand for election or participate in a vote.
Speaking during a press conference on Monday, the chief spokesman for the commission, Eric Mamer, said von der Leyen was meant to be speaking in a personal capacity and repeatedly declined to offer formal apologies for the mixup.
Mamer said she recorded the message at the request of the Croatian Prime minister's cabinet on Friday during a session held in the commission's studios before the video was sent to Croatia. He said von der Leyen recorded several other messages that day as part of her communication strategy during the coronavirus crisis, which requires the use of video for virtual appearances as in-person meetings remain limited.
"Obviously this video should not have been recorded against the backdrop of the Berlaymont," said Mamer, referring to the office building in Brussels housing the headquarters of the commission, the EU's executive branch. "When it was recorded they used the same backdrop they had used for the previous video recordings."
The video triggered an avalanche of criticism on social media. In the short footage, von der Leyen was identified as the European Commission president and was filmed standing in front of a European flag.
"In the post production phase in Zagreb the heading `president' was added to the backdrop and that was not of course provided for initially," Mamer said.
Asked whether von der Leyen had breached the commission's code of conduct by meddling in the Croatian election, Mamer said only unintentional mistakes led to the final version of the video.
"Clearly the president is of the view that it's a good thing for European democracy that members of the college can engage in active political life," Mamer said. "So that's the kind of things which must be permitted. At the same time the appropriate conditions must apply to any such activities."
According to partial results, the ruling conservatives overwhelmingly won the elections held Sunday. With over 90 percent of the vote counted, the HDZ has 66 seats in Croatia's 151-seat parliament and is likely to form a new coalition government with smaller right-wing groups.

EU threatens to blackmail illiberal countries' budgets
Manfred Weber, the Leader of the European People's Party (EPP), discussed the European Union's plan to blackmail member states that don't toe the bloc's line on issues like migration, such as Hungary and Poland. This will be done by making their share of the EU's budget contingent on how well they meet the bloc's vague "rule of law" standards, Weber says, especially now that many countries have been hit hard by the Wuhan coronavirus (COVID-19) lockdown.
Weber, who leads the European Parliament's largest party, made the remarks in an interview with the Süddeutsche Zeitung last week.
The EU is currently in talks to prepare its next seven-year budget, which will come into effect in 2021. Weber discussed the proposal by Ursula von der Leyen, the European Commission's President, to make the allocation of each member state's share of the budget, as well as its share of aid to deal with the effects of the pandemic, contingent on the "state of the rule of law" in each country.
This threat is clearly aimed at Hungary and Poland in particular, the two EU member states that have taken a hard line on illegal migration and which have also come under fire for alleged corruption in their judiciaries. The EU has invoked Article 7 of its Treaty against both countries in recent years, which can result in a suspension of a member states' rights within the bloc. Both are still being investigated under the procedure.
Weber suggested that the EU needs to strengthen its control over its budget "in order to better fight corruption." He said that given that many member states will be using EU funds to deal with the economic fallout from the pandemic, it is important that "strict conditions" must be attached to such aid.
Weber mentioned Hungary and Poland specifically, saying that it is "unsurprising" that the two countries are looking to prevent the "rule of law" requirement from being attached to the money. "Europe is not an ATM, but a community of values," he said.
On Friday, the EU and the heads of the member states will begin discussing the 1.8 trillion euro budget for 2021-2027 for the first time: 1.1 trillion for the budget and 750 billion euros in aid to deal with the economic crisis resulting from the pandemic. Whether the pandemic aid will be distributed in the form of loans or in bonds is still being hotly contested. Weber's EPP will play a crucial role in these negotiations.
The EPP has made its displeasure with Hungary in particular known on several occasions. The EPP's current President, Donald Tusk, called for Hungary to be expelled from the party in March due to concern over the country's controversial Coronavirus Protection Law, as previously reported by Voice of Europe.

EU won't ally with US against China, foreign policy chief says before Pompeo meeting
The bloc will not pick a side in the escalating US-China conflict, Josep Borrell says
Instead, the EU would go its own way, working with both Beijing and Washington on areas of mutual interest
The European Union's foreign policy chief has ruled out a transatlantic alliance against China and dismissed "systemic rivalry" with Beijing, just hours before he is due to talk to his US counterpart.
EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Josep Borrell called for a "big, positive agenda for EU-China cooperation" on Sunday, just a day before he and the 27 foreign ministers from the bloc are expected to have a videoconference with US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
The meeting is expected to focus on China and "disinformation", and will be followed in a week's time by the first EU-China summit under European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Charles Michel. The two EU chiefs will meet Chinese Premier Li Keqiang, with the discussions expected to focus on market access.

George Soros: We're now in 'revolutionary moment' that allows us to achieve the 'inconceivable'
In a new interview, the left-wing billionaire called the coronavirus pandemic 'the crisis of my lifetime.'
Left-wing billionaire George Soros has indicated that the coronavirus pandemic paves the way for societal changes previously thought impossible, calling it "the crisis of my lifetime." Soros had lived through the Second World War as a youth.
"Even before the pandemic hit, I realized that we were in a revolutionary moment where what would be impossible or even inconceivable in normal times had become not only possible, but probably absolutely necessary," he said during an interview on May 11.
Soros also said that "Europe is facing several existential dangers."
He was "particularly concerned about the survival of the EU because it is an incomplete union." While, according to the Hungarian-born billionaire, the European Union was "in the process of being created," that process "was never completed."
Thus, Soros said the EU was "exceptionally vulnerable - more vulnerable than the US not just because it is an incomplete union but also because it is based on the rule of law."
Soros also commented on a recent conflict between Germany and the EU. Germany's highest court had ruled on May 5 that one of the EU's Court of Justice decisions regarding policies of the European Central Bank (ECB) was not legally binding. In turn, the European Court of Justice asserted that it alone had jurisdiction over the ECB.
In the interview, Soros sided with the EU. "When Germany joined the EU, it committed itself to abide by European law," he argued.
He voiced his fears that countries like Poland or Hungary might become more independent of the EU, if also "the German court can question the decisions of the European Court of Justice."
Soros asked, "Can Hungary and Poland decide whether they follow European law or their own courts - whose legitimacy the EU has questioned? That question goes to the very heart of the EU, which is built on the rule of law."
"Poland has immediately risen to the occasion and asserted the supremacy of its government-controlled courts over European law. In Hungary, Viktor Orbán has already used the COVID-19 emergency and a captured parliament to appoint himself dictator," Soros claimed.
The last election took place in 2018, and the next one is scheduled for 2020.
Additionally, a new poll has shown that the majority of Hungarians (54 percent) seem to support the measures of the Orbán administration and would vote for him.
"The ruling poses a threat that could destroy the European Union as an institution based on the rule of law, precisely because it was delivered by the German constitutional court, which is the most highly respected institution in Germany," Soros emphasized.
In the course of the interview, Soros again talked about his idea of having the EU issue perpetual bonds, which he called Consols. With the money created through Consols, he would finance the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as climate change.
"European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says that Europe needs about ?1 trillion ($1.1 trillion) to fight this pandemic, and she should have added another ?1 trillion for climate change," according to Soros.

GPS: Will the ECB need to change its policies after this ruling?
SOROS: Not necessarily. This ruling only requires the ECB to justify its current monetary policies. It has been given three months to justify the actions it has taken. That will consume a lot of the ECB's attention when it is the only really functioning institution in Europe that can provide the financial resources needed to combat the pandemic. Therefore, it should focus its attention on helping Europe to establish a Recovery Fund.1
GPS: Do you have any suggestions where these resources could come from?
SOROS: I have proposed that the EU should issue perpetual bonds, although I now think that they should be called "Consols," because perpetual bonds have been successfully used under that name by Britain since 1751 and the United States since the 1870s.
Perpetual bonds have become confused with "Coronabonds," which have been rejected by the European Council - and with good reason, because they imply a mutualization of accumulated debts that the member states are unwilling to accept. That has poisoned the debate about perpetual bonds.
I believe that the current predicament strengthens my case for Consols. The German court said that the ECB's actions were legal because they adhered to the requirement that its bond purchases were proportional to the member states' shareholding in the ECB. But the clear implication was that any ECB purchases that were not proportional to the ECB "capital key" could be challenged and deemed ultra vires by the court.
The kind of bonds that I have proposed would sidestep this problem, because they would be issued by the EU as a whole, would automatically be proportional, and would remain so eternally. The member states would have to pay only the annual interest, which is so minimal - at, say, 0.5% - that the bonds could be easily subscribed by the member states, either unanimously or by a coalition of the willing.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says that Europe needs about ?1 trillion ($1.1 trillion) to fight this pandemic, and she should have added another ?1 trillion for climate change. Consols could provide those amounts if the EU's member states authorized them.
Unfortunately, Germany and the "Hanseatic League" states led by the Netherlands are adamantly opposed. They should think again. The EU is now considering doubling its budget, which would provide only about ?100 billion and yield only one-tenth of the benefit that perpetual bonds could provide. Those who want to keep their EU budget contribution to a minimum ought to support Consols. They would have to authorize certain taxes, like a financial-transaction tax, that would provide the EU with its own resources, assuring its AAA rating, but the taxes would not have to be imposed - their place would be taken by Consols. Both these parties and the rest of Europe would be much better off. Annual payments of ?5 billion, whose present value would continuously decline, would give the EU ?1 trillion that the continent urgently needs - an amazing cost-benefit ratio.
GPS: When the EU relaxed its rules against state aid, Germany submitted more than half of the requests. Some people argue that this undermines the principles of a single market because it gives Germany an unfair advantage. What do you think?
SOROS: I agree with their argument. It is particularly unfair to Italy, which was already the sick man of Europe and then the hardest hit by COVID-19. Lega party leader Matteo Salvini is agitating for Italy to leave the euro and also the European Union. Fortunately, his personal popularity has declined since he left the government, but his advocacy is gaining followers.
This is another existential threat for the EU. What would be left of Europe without Italy, which used to be the most pro-European country? Italians trusted Europe more than their own governments. But they were badly treated during the refugee crisis of 2015. That's when they turned to Salvini's far-right Lega and the populist Five Star Movement.
GPS: You sound very pessimistic.
SOROS: Far from it. I recognize that Europe is facing several existential dangers. That is not a figure of speech; it is the reality. The verdict of Germany's Federal Constitutional Court is only the most recent challenge. Once we recognize this, we may be able to rise the occasion. We can take exceptional measures that are appropriate to the exceptional circumstances we're in. That certainly applies to Consols, which should never be issued in normal times, but are ideal right now. As long as I can propose measures like issuing Consols, I won't give up hope.

Coronavirus: World leaders pledge billions for vaccine fight
More than $8bn (£6.5bn) has been pledged to help develop a coronavirus vaccine and fund research into the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
Some 40 countries and donors took part in an online summit hosted by the EU.
EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said the money would help kickstart unprecedented global co-operation.
She said it showed the true value of unity and humanity, but warned much more would be needed in the days ahead.
In total, more than 30 countries, along with UN and philanthropic bodies and research institutes, made donations.
Donors also included pop singer Madonna, who pledged ?1m ($1.1m), said Ms von der Leyen, who set out the Brussels-led initiative on Friday.
The European Commission pledged $1bn to fund research on a vaccine. Norway matched the European Commission's contribution, and France has pledged ?500m, as have Saudi Arabia and Germany. Japan pledged more than $800m.
The US and Russia did not take part. China, where the virus originated in December, was represented by its ambassador to the European Union.
Of the money raised, $4.4bn will go on vaccine development, some $2bn on the search for a treatment and $1.6bn for producing tests, the EU said.
In her opening remarks at the summit, Ms von der Leyen said everyone must chip in to finance "a truly global endeavour".
"I believe 4 May will mark a turning point in our fight against coronavirus because today the world is coming together," she said.
"The partners are many, the goal is one: to defeat this virus."
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, another co-host of the conference, said the "more we pull together" in sharing expertise, "the faster our scientists will succeed" in developing a vaccine.
Mr Johnson, who spent three nights in intensive care with Covid-19, was to confirm the UK's pledge of £388m for vaccine research, testing and treatment during the conference.
Along with the European Commission, the conference is being co-hosted by the UK, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Norway and Saudi Arabia.
Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel are also among those who have signed up to the initiative.
In the open letter published in weekend newspapers, the leaders said the funds raised would "kickstart an unprecedented global co-operation between scientists and regulators, industry and governments, international organisations, foundations and healthcare professionals".
"If we can develop a vaccine that is produced by the world, for the whole world, this will be a unique global public good of the 21st Century," they added.

Netanyahu: Israel will invest $60 million in R&D for coronavirus vaccine
Netanyahu was invited by President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen to participate in the video conference
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced at a global coronavirus vaccine conference that Israel will invest $60 million in research and development in the fields of diagnosis, treatment and the development of medicine and vaccines for the novel coronavirus.
World leaders launched a pledging "marathon" on Monday - without the United States - to raise at least $8 billion for research into a possible vaccine and treatments for the coronavirus.
Organizers included the European Union, non-EU states Britain and Norway, as well as Japan, Canada and Saudi Arabia, although, China, where the virus originated in December, was only represented by its ambassador to the European Union.
Netanyahu was invited by President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen to participate in the video conference
"Global plague eradication requires global partnership," Netanyahu said after thanking the participants for attending the conference. "Israel, like all countries, was significantly affected by the plague. Fortunately, the number of victims we have so far is relatively low. This is the result of early action to stop the virus, advanced technology used to track those infected, first-rate medical experts and a disciplined population that largely obeyed the government's containment policy."
"As we all know, the coronavirus epidemic is far from over. At best, we're only at the end of the beginning; And like all countries, Israel is now striving to strike the right balance between protecting our citizens' health and reopening our economy," Netanyahu stressed. "In order to ensure both public health and national prosperity, we must all work together to improve diagnosis, accelerate treatments and ultimately develop vaccines."
Netanyahu volunteered Israeli technology to assist in working on a vaccine, saying that "I am convinced that Israel's leading research institutions, our world-renowned Israeli scientists and our unique innovation culture, will enable us to play an important role in promoting solutions on all three fronts."
"That's why Israel pledges today to allocate $60 million to these efforts. We hope to work with other countries and leverage our unique capabilities to find solutions that will benefit everyone," Netanyahu concluded.
"I believe the fourth of May will mark a turning point in our fight against coronavirus because today the world is coming together," von der Leyen, said at the start of the event, pledging 1 billion euros ($1.09 billion).
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who has recovered from a life-threatening battle with COVID-19, said the search for a vaccine was "the most urgent shared endeavor of our lifetime", calling for "an impregnable shield around all our people."

The global response: Working together to help the world get better
Our aim is simple: on the 4th of May we want to raise, in an online pledging conference, an initial 7.5 billion euros (8 billion dollars) to make up the global funding shortfall estimated by the Global Preparedness Monitoring Board (GPMB) and others.
We will all put our own pledges on the table and we are glad to be joined by partners from the world over. The funds that we raise will kick-start an unprecedented global cooperation between scientists and regulators, industry and governments, international organisations, foundations and health care professionals. We support the World Health Organisation and we are delighted to join forces with experienced organizations such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the Wellcome Trust
Every single euro or dollar that we raise together will be channelled primarily through recognised global health organisations such as CEPI, Gavi, the Vaccines Alliance, as well as the Global Fund and Unitaid into developing and deploying as quickly as possible, for as many as possible, the diagnostics, treatments and vaccines that will help the world overcome the pandemic. If we can develop a vaccine that is produced by the world, for the whole world, this will be an unique global public good of the 21st century. Together with our partners, we commit to making it available, accessible and affordable to all.

UN-WHO collaborate in coronavirus fight, increased efforts to find COVID-19 vaccine
As the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic continues to create chaos with most of the countries across the globe imposing lockdown measures, the hunt for a vaccine has also picked up pace. Several trials and studies are being conducted in US, UK, China and India with the hopes of finding the elusive vaccine to stop the novel coronavirus pathogen.
As the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic continues to create chaos with most of the countries across the globe imposing lockdown measures, the hunt for a vaccine has also picked up pace. Several trials and studies are being conducted in US, UK, China and India with the hopes of finding the elusive vaccine to stop the novel coronavirus pathogen.
In an effort to unite the world in the fight against coronavirus the UN launched a collaboration to bring together world leaders, the private sector, scientific and humanitarian actors and other partners to promote health in these difficult times and to share information on the virus, exchange data amongst each other without any political boundries.
The collaboration is co-hosted by World Health Organisation Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, French President Emmanuel Macron, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
On the backdrop of the launch of this collab, the Secretary-General of United Nations Antonio Guterres expressed the idea for a universal solution to the universal COVID-19 problem. On twitter Guterres wrote: "A COVID-19 vaccine must be considered a global public good. Not a vaccine for one country or one region – but a vaccine that is affordable, safe, effective, easily-administered and universally available – for everyone, everywhere."
"A world free of COVID-19 requires the biggest public health effort in global history: Data must be shared, resources mobilised and politics set aside. We are in the fight of our lives. We are in it together. And we will come out of it stronger, together," he said.
The media statement issued after Friday`s announcement, said that the group will seek to implement innovative diagnostics, therapeutics and vaccines at record speed and at record scale in a bid to defeat COVID-19.
Meanwhile, the novel coronavirus has infected more than 27.9 lakh people and killed over 1,95,000 worldwide, according to Johns Hopkins University data on Saturday morning.

US SNUBS launch of WHO-led initiative aimed at making Covid-19 vaccine globally & generally available
World leaders have taken part in the launch of a global initiative to ensure equal access to the future vaccine against the novel coronavirus. The event, hosted by the World Health Organization, was notably snubbed by the US.
The launch of the "ACT accelerator" was held on Friday at the UN health body's HQ in Geneva. The WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus had a pretty impressive guest list for the ceremony, which included French President Emmanuel Macron, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.
As expected in a Covid-19-gripped world, foreign dignitaries had to use video links to take part. However not a single suitably high-ranking official from the US showed up, and the absence had nothing to do with a technical malfunction. The nation that last week defunded the WHO over its alleged cover-up of Covid-19's seriousness simply snubbed the event.
"We look forward to learning more about this initiative in support of international cooperation to develop a vaccine for Covid-19 as soon as possible," a spokesman for the US mission in Geneva said in an email to Reuters ahead of the meeting, stressing that "no US official participation" had been planned.
The initiative is meant to ensure that access to testing kits, therapeutic drugs and, eventually, working vaccines is provided to all who need it.
The WHO's Ghebreyesus, whose resignation has been demanded by a number of US politicians, opened the ceremony by praising the global scientific response to the unprecedented health crisis posed by the coronavirus. Researchers from all corners of the world banded together to identify the pathogen, develop tools to predict and curb its spread, and to find ways to treat it.
But "even when tools are available, they had not been equally available to all" in past outbreaks, the UN official stressed. "We cannot allow that to happen."
US President Donald Trump last week froze the WHO's funding, pending an investigation into what he termed a "China-centric" behavior of the organization. He claimed the WHO helped Beijing mislead the world in the early days of the crisis by underestimating Covid-19's severity. Both have rejected the allegation.

Opinion: Soros: The EU should issue perpetual bonds to fund the economic recovery from coronavirus
Published: April 22, 2020 at 1:00 a.m. ET
By George Soros
NEW YORK (Project Syndicate) - European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has announced that Europe will need about ?1 trillion ($1.1 trillion) to fight the COVID-19 pandemic. This money could be used to establish a European Recovery Fund. But where will the money come from?
I propose that the European Union should raise the money needed for the Recovery Fund by selling "perpetual bonds," on which the principal does not have to be repaid (although they can be repurchased or redeemed at the issuer's discretion). Authorizing this issue should be the first priority for the forthcoming European Council summit on Thursday.
It would, of course, be unprecedented for the EU to issue perpetual bonds, especially in such a large amount. But other governments have relied on perpetual bonds in the past. The best-known example is Britain, which used consolidated bonds (Consols) to finance the Napoleonic Wars and war bonds to finance World War I. These bond issues were traded in London until 2015, when both were redeemed. In the 1870s, the U.S. Congress authorized the Treasury to issue Consols to consolidate already existing bonds, and they were issued in subsequent years.
The EU is facing a once-in-a-lifetime war against a virus that is threatening not only people's lives, but also the very survival of the Union. If member states start protecting their national borders against even their fellow EU members, this would destroy the principle of solidarity on which the Union is built.
Instead, Europe needs to resort to extraordinary measures to deal with an extraordinary situation that is hitting all of the EU's members. This can be done without fear of setting a precedent that could justify issuing common EU debt once normalcy has been restored. Issuing bonds that carried the full faith and credit of the EU would provide a political endorsement of what the European Central Bank has already done: removed practically all the restrictions on its bond purchasing program.
Perpetual bonds have three additional advantages that make them appropriate for these circumstances.
For starters, because perpetual bonds never have to be repaid, they would impose a surprisingly light fiscal burden on the EU, despite the considerable financial firepower they would mobilize. The EU, moreover, would not have to refinance them when they came due, make amortization payments, or even set aside money (for example, in a sinking fund) for their eventual repayment.
The EU would be obligated only to make regular interest payments on them. A ?1 trillion perpetual bond with a 0.5% coupon would cost the EU budget a mere ?5 billion per year. This is less than 3% of the EU's 2020 budget.
The second advantage is more technical but almost as important. The market may not be able to absorb a ?1 trillion issue all at once. By issuing a perpetual bond, the EU could raise this amount in installments, without creating a new bond each time.
The third advantage is that an EU-issued perpetual bond would be a very attractive asset for the ECB's bond-purchase programs. Since the maturity of a perpetual bond is always the same, the ECB would not be required to rebalance its portfolio.
The EU does not need to create any new mechanism or structure to issue the bonds, because the EU has issued bonds in the past. The proceeds should be used for investments and grants related to fighting the pandemic. The European Commission would disperse the funds either directly or through the member states and other institutions (such as municipal governments) that are directly involved in fighting the COVID-19 pandemic.
The disruption caused by the pandemic should be temporary, but only if Europe's leaders take the extraordinary measures needed to avoid long-term damage to the EU. That is why the EU Recovery Fund is so desperately needed. Financing it with perpetual bonds is the easiest, fastest, and least costly way to establish it.

EU Commission Boss Issues Another Coronavirus Apology as Bloc Cracks
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has issued another apology to Italy over the European Union's lack of solidarity during the Chinese coronavirus outbreak.
Mrs von der Leyen stated in the European Parliament this week that she wanted to extend a "heartfelt apology" and said: "Too many were not there on time when Italy needed a helping hand at the very beginning."
The apology comes just weeks after she had another apology published in the Italian newspaper La Repubblica entitled "I apologise, we are with you."
The EU leader then claimed that "Europe has now become the world's beating heart of solidarity", noting that EU countries had offered each other hospital beds and medical supplies.
von der Leyen also pushed the idea of a coronavirus "Marshall Plan" to deal with the economic fallout of the Chinese virus, saying: "We need massive investments to restart the economy, a European Marshall Plan. And it must be activated immediately."
One of the measures proposed to help Italy has been the use of the European Stability Mechanism (ESM), a bailout fund that gives loans to member-states.
The ESM has seen massive resistance within Italy from Senator Matteo Salvini, however, who has criticised the measure as eroding the sovereignty of Italy and having adverse effects if it results in the country being forced to restructure debt.
Members of the Five Star Movement (M5S), who form the current governing coalition with the leftist Democrats (PD), have gone as far as saying they will vote to bring down Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte's government if the ESM is used.

Gates Foundation Calls for Global Solidarity to Vaccinate 7 Billion People from Coronavirus
As the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic spreads across the world, the search for the manufacturing of a vaccine has begun to take centre stage as a priority for the world's leading national, business, and scientific bodies.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has called for global cooperation on Wednesday to help administer COVID-19 vaccines for up to 7 billion people and offered a further US$150 million in funding towards the manufacturing of therapeutics and treatments.
A coronavirus vaccine could take up to 18 months to be fully ready and established as safe for humans, but global authorities and businesses must look towards distribution now, according to the foundation's chief executive Mark Suzman.
"It's normal to have, at maximum, hundreds of millions of doses manufactured", he said.
"When you are dealing with a novel pathogen like COVID-19, as and when we get to identifying a successful vaccine, we are going to need billions of doses."
"There are 7 billion people on the planet", he said. "We are going to need to vaccinate nearly every one. There is no manufacturing capacity to do that", he explained.
The additional funds from the foundation, which was established and is currently owned by mega-billionaire and Microsoft founder Bill Gates and his wife Melinda, will be in addition to the $100 million it already announced in February to aid the international fight against the pandemic.
Much of the money is to support the development of COVID-19 diagnostic tests, therapeutic treatments and vaccines, and to make them globally available, he said.
As well as helping make the vaccines and treatments available globally, it will also be given to developing countries in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, which lack sufficient material and infrastructure to combat the spread.
Some 100 potential vaccines are being developed and tested by scientists around the world but most will fail when it comes to trial, according to Suzman.
== "A successful vaccine has to be available for 7 billion people. You need to test if there are unexpected side effects, or side effects within cohorts or groups, whether it's pregnant women or the elderly or the very young", said Suzman==.
"The vast majority of vaccine candidates fail in those larger trials, the so-called phase-three trials", he added.
Suzman lauded the work of the World Health Organisation (WHO), which the Gates Foundation is the second-largest funder of behind the United States, describing the body as a "strong, reliable partner".
The vaccine will be the "fastest" developed in human history, but the production will require billions of dollars in funding, according to Suzman.
Who is working on the vaccine?
On Wednesday, European Commissioner chief Ursula von der Leyen called for a donors' conference on 4 May to help organise the creation and global distribution networks for the vaccine.
Both China and the United States are currently working on producing a vaccine for COVID-19 and have begun safety studies. However, the US announced on Thursday that it would be withdrawing funds from the WHO.
Scientists at the United Kingdom's Oxford University have started the process of developing an experimental vaccine and hope to have a million doses ready by September.

Unmasked: NATO's Dog-Eat-Dog Pandemic Reaction
Mon, 04/13/2020 - 03:00
"Despite its charter proclaiming mutual defense and security, the NATO military alliance is showing a rather unbecoming dog-eat-dog individualistic reaction in coping with the coronavirus pandemic.
The United States, the top dog in the 30-member pack of nations, is accused of "modern piracy" after it nabbed consignments of face masks which were bound for allies Canada, France and Germany to help those nations fight against soaring epidemics of the disease.
To think too that only last year, NATO celebrated the 70th anniversary of its founding in 1949 with lots of fanfare and vain self-congratulations of how noble the alliance is. Skeptics, though, see the bloc as a Cold War relic whose security claims are but empty Orwellian excuses for warmongering and propping up obscenely wasteful corporate militarism.
The latest incident involved the alleged commandeering of 200,000 anti-infection surgical masks by the US which had been originally ordered by German authorities for police officers in Berlin. The shipment was intercepted in Thailand and directed to the US instead.
It appears that the US firm, 3M, which sources the facial masks in China, was mandated by the Trump administration to increase its exports to the US due to the emergency circumstances of the Covid-19 pandemic, thereby over-riding the transaction with Germany.
However, Berlin state minister Andreas Geisel condemned the US intervention as "modern day piracy".
There have been similar reports of medical equipment bound for Canada and France also being intercepted by US authorities. Last week, a planeload of masks about to take off from Shanghai for France was bought up by American officials who turned up at the airport at the last minute wielding wads of cash.
Washington has denied the American actions are underhand. Well, maybe not underhand, but the Wild West-style capitalism of outbidding others with bigger bucks over life-saving medical material certainly seems unethical. And what about all that jive about mutual defense and security? Where's the fraternal coordination in a crisis?
It's not just the US which is seen as saving its own skin in a panic. Germany and France have also imposed export bans on their companies sending medical supplies to other European countries. That has led to grievances voiced by Serbian leader Alexander Vucic and others complaining that there is no European solidarity.
Even European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen was obliged to rebuke EU states for not displaying sufficient solidarity and for closing off borders and supplies to others in need from the pandemic.
In Italy and Spain, where deaths have soared above 10,000 in recent weeks, there has been popular outrage over the lack of collective response from European and NATO allies.
Given the rapidly growing threat to public health from the Covid-19 pandemic it is understandable that nations are taking desperate measures. From an initial indifference towards the disease in the US, the authorities there are now increasingly fearful that the infections and death toll may spiral out of control.
Last week, the global infection number surpassed one million with more than a quarter of those being in the US. The American death toll may peak at multiples of what we have seen in China or Europe. This is especially because of the deprived social conditions of American workers and due to under-resourced for-profit public health services.
Coming in an election year, President Trump is seeing his reelection hopes potentially going up in smoke along with the economy hit by coronavirus. That no doubt compels his administration to pull out all the stops to contain the pandemic, which would explain the snatching of vital medical equipment from allies."

Head of EU's top science body quits after Covid-19 response plans get bogged down by Brussels bureaucracy
The head of EU's main science organization has resigned just months after taking the job. He said both the body and EU leadership failed to adopt a robust science-based approach to the Covid-19 outbreak when one was badly needed.
Professor Mauro Ferrari submitted his resignation to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Tuesday, effective immediately. His four-year term ended abruptly just months after starting on January 1. Ferrari said he was "extremely disappointed by the European response to Covid-19," according to the Financial Times, which first reported the news.
Ferrari headed the European Research Council (ERC), a body established in 2007 with a multibillion-euro budget with the goal of supporting scientific discovery in the EU. The ERC's 'bottom-up' approach to distributing grants clashed with Ferrari's suggestion of launching a large-scale effort to fight the pandemic, which he proposed in March after it became apparent that the outbreak would cause a health crisis in Europe.
"I thought that at a time like this, the very best scientists in the world should be provided with resources and opportunities to fight the pandemic, with new drugs, new vaccines, new diagnostic tools, new behavioral dynamic approaches based on science, to replace the oft-improvised intuitions of political leaders," he explained.
The proposal was rejected by ERC's Scientific Council. Ferrari said he tried to get his ideas implemented through von der Leyen, but the very fact of him working directly with the Commission head "created an internal political thunderstorm."
"The proposal was passed on to different layers of European Commission administration, where I believe it disintegrated upon impact," he said. He lamented a lack of coordination of national policies in response to the crisis and said his experience completely changed his view of the EU, of which he used to be "a fervent supporter."
A spokesman for the Commission expressed regret that Ferrari had resigned "at this early stage in his mandate." He said 50 ongoing or completed ERC projects were contributing to fighting the pandemic.
Ferrari is a US-Italian nanomedicine pioneer focusing on developing new cancer treatments.

EU to unveil strategy to exit virus lockdown
Some EU countries already planning to relax measures
The European Commission will on Wednesday unveil a plan for the bloc to ease out of a virus lockdown that has dealt a body blow to the economies of EU members, a spokesman said.
The strategy, to be presented by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen after a videoconference with relevant commissioners, will come after some EU countries announced they were already planning to relax measures.
Both Austria and Denmark have said they will start phasing out restrictions from next week, while still keeping in place social-distancing and frequent handwashing rules in place.

Russian aid to Italy, dubbed an 'influence operation' by EU-partnered media outfit, is indeed shameful - for Europe
The EU response to Italy's Covid-19 crisis was bungled so shamefully that the bloc apologized as other nations, including Russia, stepped in at Rome's request. Now, journalists are smearing the aid as an "influence operation."
EU Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen admitted Thursday that "in the face of the need for a common European response" to the pandemic, too many EU countries "thought only of their own" problems. Brussels will now "mobilize alongside Italy," she said. With nearly 14,000 dead, surely it's about time.
The decision to put up a united European front came only after Russia had sent doctors, personal protective equipment and 600 ventilators, among other supplies to Italy, which has suffered more Covid-19 cases and deaths than any other country in Europe. China and Cuba also sent critical supplies to help Italy battle the outbreak - and to their credit, some European nations including Germany and France did too, but not before trying to block the export of essential supplies to their neighbors in need in anticipation of domestic shortages. The bottom line is, there was certainly no "united" European response of the kind Italians might have been expecting.
In the face of such a disastrous failure, one might have assumed that the ensuing outrage would be directed at Brussels for essentially fiddling while Rome burned. Instead, journalists appear to be more interested in the "optics" of allowing Russian help where European help was absent. They could hardly pass up on the opportunity to dismiss Moscow's aid as nothing more than a PR stunt and a plot to "undermine" NATO either, now could they?
The latest such effort comes from Coda Story - an outfit which incidentally is so focused on publishing stories about Russia that it has actually (quite comically) had to clarify on its website that it's "not about Russia" exclusively.
Coda Story's article came hot on the heels of a story in Italian newspaper La Stampa which claimed that 80 percent of Russian aid was "useless" - a suggestion that was gleefully and widely echoed by Western journalists on social media, but not by Italian officials who spoke publicly themselves. Such a stampede of journalists rushing to brand the Russian supplies as useless might lead readers to judiciously suspect that the anti-Moscow media campaign is an influence operation itself. Meanwhile, if you were wondering, the US has reportedly been hijacking planeloads of supplies headed for Europe by offering larger wads of cash to officials at an airport in Shanghai.

Solidarity (in)action: EU Commission head apologizes to Italy, pledges ?100bn Covid-19 relief fund... that may not happen
EU Commission chief apologized to Italy for the bloc's sloppy coronavirus response, pledging ?100 billion to help one of the worst-hit nations. Yet the help might never arrive, as mutualizing debt is opposed by EU fat cats.
"Today Europe is mobilizing alongside Italy. Unfortunately, this has not always been the case," Ursula von der Leyen said in a letter published by Italy's La Repubblica newspaper on Thursday.
It must be recognized that in the early days of the crisis, in the face of the need for a common European response, too many have thought only of their own home problems.
After apologizing for the inaction, however, the EU Commission chief proceeded to praising the 'help' provided to Italy by the bloc's members. "In the past month, the European Commission has left no stone unturned to help Italy," she insisted.
The apology left Italian politicians unimpressed, as they urged the EU not only to talk, but to prove it is actually a union. Apparently, Rome did not notice the 'help' von der Leyen bragged about.
"I believe that everyone will eventually realize even in those countries that a shared, orderly, strong and rapid European response is the only solution," Italian Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte told the Spanish television La Sexta . "A slow response would be a useless response."
A similar response came from Matteo Salvini, head of the opposition League, Italy's most popular political party. He took to Twitter to mock the apology from the EU bigwig.

20 coronavirus quotes showing how open borders and political correctness came before public health
Emmanuel Macron: closing borders to Italy is a bad decision
French President Emmanuel Macron claimed on March 10 that Slovenia and Austria made "bad decisions" by severely restricting travel with Italy, which also neighbors France.
"I sincerely believe that these are bad decisions," Macron remarked after he partook in crisis talks about the coronavirus with other EU leaders during a video conference.
Just a week later, France closed its border to every nation in Europe.
EC president Ursula von der Leyen: General travel bans are ineffective
European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen also said on March 13 that "general travel bans are not seen as being the most effective by the World Health Organization" after voicing her opposition to countries unilaterally closing their borders.
She made the remarks in response to the Czech Republic implementing an entry ban on foreigners and an exit ban on all Czechs on March 9 at the same time other EU nations, including Hungary, Austria, and Slovenia, all reintroduced border checks. The countries dropped passport-free travel in Europe's Schengen zone and focused their checks on travelers from hard-hit Italy.
The EU issued a general travel ban at its external borders less than a week after von der Leyen chastised the Czech Republic, Hungary, Austria, and Slovenia for taking that action to close their borders.
Macron said EU should avoid 'nationalist retreat'
French President Emmanuel Macron warned against hastily closing borders, which would amount to a "nationalist retreat".
Warning of the danger of "nationalist isolation," he said: "This virus has no passport. We must unify our forces, coordinate our responses and cooperate. European coordination is essential, and I will ensure it goes forward."
WHO chief urges countries not to close borders to foreigners from China
The World Health Organization (WHO) pursued its dedication to open borders right until the end, with its head calling for countries to keep their borders open to China, where the coronavirus stemmed from.
"There is no reason for measures that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade. We call on all countries to implement decisions that are evidence-based and consistent. WHO stands ready to provide advice to any country that is considering which measures to take," said WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in early February.
Tedros expressed his disapproval of countries like Singapore, the United States, and Australia for closing their borders to China.
The Council on Foreign Relations think tank has said that Tedros owes China after the communist government backed him during his election to become director-general in 2017.
Tedros denies that he follows orders from Beijing but the WHO has been accused of dragging its feet in declaring a global health emergency. Tedros even praised China for demonstrating "transparency" during the crisis despite evidence the country covering up the outbreak and persecuted medical whistleblowers.
WHO chief: Closing borders increases 'fear' and 'stigma'
Ghebreyesus also later called for borders to stay open in a statement that appeared to put political correctness before public health.
"We reiterate our call to all countries not to impose restrictions that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade. Such restrictions can have the effect of increasing fear and stigma, with little public health benefit," Ghebreyesus said to the UN's executive board in Geneva.
The WHO has long argued that closing borders to a country during an outbreak increases stigma towards that country and even whole ethnic groups.
Despite EU leaders and WHO officials being opposed to border closures, a huge survey by Reuters found that citizens were overwhelmingly in support of such measures, with Asian countries showing the highest support for border closures.

Q Research General #10889: What About That Deep State Dept Now Edition
Commission President Under Real Pressure Over Corona Credibility Problem
The new EU commission president got her 30 day shutdown agreement from member states, but there are signs that her appointment was a real gaffe by euro federalists as it becomes clear that the EU is not in control of any virus contingency plans.
"Be careful what you wish for" might be words some mutter when they think of the engagement of Germany's Ursula von der Leyen as European Commission president last November. Traditionally the post of the powerful Commission president has always gone to an obscure, failed politician from an even obscurer EU member state, with perhaps the exception of Jacques Delors in the mid 80s, who, arguably, wasn't known much outside of France in that period.
But this German lightweight, with the unfortunate nickname of VDL (which in Britain conjures ideas of a sexually transmitted disease), broke the mould on failing to achieve anything while being in the federal government where even colleagues in Berlin opposed her nomination for the EU post on the ground of being sensationally unremarkable.
But the EU elite, the real powers in Brussels who have funny handshakes and whose sweaty palms are on the real powers over member states, like "also ran" candidates. This is seen as very much a positive thing when installing your own puppet in the top euro job.
Yet, given the EU's rancid if not delusional ideas of how to pull itself out of its own political crisis - take more power, decentralise more away from member states, build stronger foreign policy and swell the budget considerably (presumably to pay for more fake news from journalists who are indirectly on the EU payroll) - one would have thought that this old business model needed a second look. Surely, a heavyweight pro federalist leader with a guilt edged profile, which media lapped up, would have been the ticket? Someone like Tony Blair for example?
Dear Ursula's failure this week to garner support from EU member states to all stick to a single policy on the dreaded Corona Virus, rather than all develop their own policies on borders and national health initiatives, failed spectacularly though. If anything, it goes to show how weak and ineffective the EU is as, when tested under a crisis, the real confidence, the vote of confidence from national governments no less, just isn't there. It's like governments are saying we love the EU, we really do, and we see it as such a great thing...but when the shit hits the fan, we'll take it from here, thanks.
On Sunday 15th of March, Germany moved to impose travel restrictions along most of its borders, without even bothering to informed its neighbouring countries. Several European Union members - including the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Portugal and Denmark - had also taken moves to impose border restrictions, in some cases with little advance notification. Is any of this legal? What about Schengen?
This must have panicked Ursula who, on the Monday 16th, made the cringe-worthy plea through a video conference for calm and for everyone to do as the new EU Commission president wants. And so on the following day, she appealed to member states through a video conference for her 30 day travel ban proposal to be approved.
Finally the chaos was brought under control. But it was Germany's Angela Merkel who announced the news of an EU-wide 30-day shut down on non-EU citizens. Until that point, 27 member states went ahead with their own polices and almost certainly the move to agree on the Ursula proposal, was pushed through by Macron and Merkel as not only a common sense move, but also a political one to support the new European Commission president who for a number of days was really not on the ball.
And yet it didn't stop a number of EU member states continuing with their own internal border rules, which bypassed entirely the European Commission president.
But what no one saw coming was the extraordinary reaction from Serbia - an EU candidate country - whose president took the opportunity to more or less declare its loathing of Brussels, as it saw the proposal as a direct threat to its relations with China. Importantly, the draft of the text prohibits EU member states (and those in line to join the EU) seeking to acquire medical equipment outside of the EU (as well as exporting medical equipment out of the EU-27 block) which drew the wrath of the Serbian president, who more or less spat blood while taking about Brussels.
"European solidarity does not exist. That was a fairy tale," he said at a conference which soon became vital on social media. "The only country that can help us in this hard situation is the People's Republic of China. For the rest of them, thanks for nothing."

'Governments are really scared': Virus builds back borders that European Union demolished
A worsening coronavirus pandemic has driven European leaders to revive border controls within the European Union after three decades of efforts to abolish internal borders within the continent. "The governments are really scared that the virus does not spread, so they are afraid of allowing any kind of freedom of movement," Kinga Brudzinska, a foreign policy analyst at GLOBSEC in Slovakia, told the Washington Examiner.
Italy's stunning struggle to cope with the new contagion spurred Hungary and Austria to close borders with their southern neighbor on March 11. European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen hoped that a ban on entry into the EU would undercut the push for border controls, but 21 countries in the bloc already have banned foreign entry into their nations. "From today's perspective, we can see why we need stricter controls," a European diplomat told the Washington Examiner. "Of course, border control is very unusual for EU, but the times are very unusual."
Even Germany, one of the pioneers of the Schengen Area (as the borderless internal territory of the EU is known), decided to close its borders to other EU countries Wednesday evening. Brussels has greeted the restrictions, which are permissible under EU rules, with reluctant acquiescence. "Travel restrictions are not the most effective way to contain the pandemic. But it is essential we take urgent and concerted action now to slow down the virus," EU Embassy spokesman Kasper Zeuthen told the Washington Examiner. "In time, action at external borders could enable the lifting of controls at internal borders. Internal border controls have a big impact on the functioning of our internal market."
The renewed border controls spurred a surge of travel across the EU, reportedly resulting in 20-hour waiting times on some borders. The unusual border controls resulted in a controversy between Poland and the Baltic states, whose citizens in Western Europe were temporarily prevented from crossing through Poland to their home countries. "It led to a diplomatic crisis, and eventually, those cars were escorted, and they had to be checked that they were not stopped on the Polish territory," Brudzinska said. "Without borders for so many years right now, member states are not ready to execute smooth border checks."
The sheer inconvenience of the internal border controls might bode well for the EU's Schengen ideals, according to some officials. "They see when some barriers are already in place crossing the borders, it's so difficult for citizens," the European diplomat said. "The overall crisis shows the value of the EU and that we had free movement of persons and goods, and my sense is that we appreciate these things even more." And yet, this is the second crisis in four years that animated suspicion of travelers from other EU countries, with no end to the coronavirus pandemic in sight. Just as Austria and Germany have decided to extend their temporary border controls repeatedly since the 2015 refugee crisis, it just as possible that in some countries, Brudzinska observed, "border controls will stay up."

Serbian President Says European Solidarity Doesn't Exist, Asks China For Help Against COVID-19
On March 16th, Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic announced a state of emergency in the country, and said he had sent a letter to his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping asking for help after the EU imposed limits on exports of medical equipment amid the coronavirus crisis.
"I sent a letter to President Xi, in which for the first time I officially called him not only a dear friend but also a brother, and not only my personal friend but also a friend and brother of this country," Vucic said.
"As of today, as you know, we cannot even import goods, according to the European Union's decisions, [European Commission president] Ursula von der Leyen said this a while ago, we cannot import medical equipment from EU countries," he added.
He said that he had asked China to send Serbia "everything" - "even to send us doctors, [because] our doctors are already tired".

EU President Calls for Borders to Remain Open During Coronavirus Outbreak
The president of the European Commission called for borders to remain open within the EU's Free Movement travel zone during the COVID-19 outbreak, as countries across the bloc enact border controls.
On Sunday, Ursula von der Leyen urged European Union member states to keep their borders open so that medical supplies will be able to be transported to countries most affected from the coronavirus.
"In this moment of crisis it is of utmost importance to keep our internal market going," von der Leyen said in a video on social media.
"If we do not take action now, shops will start facing difficulties in refilling their stocks of certain products coming from elsewhere in the Single Market," she said, adding: "Protecting people's health should not block goods and essential staff from reaching patients, health systems, factories and shops."
"Just imagine, as we increase production of medical equipment, factories cannot get the components they need in time, thousands of bus and truck drivers are stranded at internal borders on parking lots, creating more health risk and disrupting our supply chains," she warned.
The president of the EU commission also called for export controls to be placed on medical devices, preventing their sale outside the EU, while imploring member states to abandon export restrictions on medical supplies within the bloc.
"We need to help each other. By producing more, keeping it in the European Union and sharing with each other we can protect our health workers and patients and contain the spread of the virus," von der Leyen said.

"There is no difference between what the Nazis did and the images we are seeing from the Greek border," Erdogan said of Greek border guards using tear gas to prevent migrants storming through border barriers, according to the Greek newspaper Kathimerini.
The slur against Greece is notable, as some 300,000 people were killed during the 1941 Nazi occupation of the country, which near-wiped out Greece's Jewish population.
The comments from Mr Erdogan came in the wake of a heated summit in Brussels, in which the Islamist leader walked out of a meeting with the President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Charles Michel after the two sides failed to come to an agreement on the terms of the 2016 deal on migration.

After the german stock index crashed from ~14k to ~9k the KfW (Federal Creditinstitute for Reconstruction, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KfW) announced "unlimited" credit for companies affected by corona virus. and that's literally ALL companies. so it will probably go to big companies, as freshly printed money alwqays does.
after this announcement the german stock market is now heading back towards 10k.
This effectively means companies whos supplychains have been destroyed will stay operative by means of quantitative easing. the entire eurozone is dependant on fresh ECB money since 2008, the export countries finance their own exports to other EU countries by the TARGET2 system (Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross Settlement Express Transfer System, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TARGET2). It books the import surplus of european import-economies as SECURITIES to european export nations, NOT LIABILITIES. so they don't show up in the GDP. because securities are not liabilities until….. yeah until SHTF. so that's the ecnomomic zombification that took place in 2008 after the lehman brothers derivative bubble crash. i don't know how this next step of zombification by the KfW credit initiative will play out. let's see i'll keep you up to date. but if your read and understood the target2 system above you know that national bailout of the exporter economies save the emntire eurozone. additionaly urusaly von der Leyen (new head of eu commission) announced a 25 billion investment fond to counter economic damage (https://www.spiegel.de/politik/coronavirus-Ursula-von-der-Leyen-plant-milliardenschweren-fonds-fuer-wirtschaftsschaeden-a-dff7cda8-ff37-4112-bf35-108b723a26b4)

EU top dogs slam coronavirus travel bans but can't coordinate bloc's response, as member states shut borders to defend themselves
Brussels had hoped to show a 'united front' against the growing coronavirus crisis but, with panic setting in, top EU leaders are already scolding their unruly neighbors as responses vary wildly across the 27-member bloc.
In a statement on Thursday, European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen lashed out at the Donald Trump administration's sudden decision to ban travel to the US from Europe, with the exception of from the UK and Ireland.
Yet, closer to home, some EU nations have implemented similar widespread restrictions in the past 24 hours - much to the disappointment of the union's top dogs.
Austria was the first, on Tuesday, to break with the principle of 'free movement' and announce restrictions on travel from Italy, prompting others to follow suit. Slovakian PM Peter Pellegrini said Thursday that all international travel to and from that country would be stopped and stringent border checks would be implemented. Similarly, Czech PM Andrej Babi? shut his country's borders to travelers from Austria and Germany, as well as foreign travelers from other high-risk countries - including the UK. Slovenia has also closed its border with neighboring Italy.
France's President Emmanuel Macron, who is never one to shy away from preaching to other countries, wasted no time in telling those closing their borders with Italy that they were making "bad decisions."
Meanwhile, France is one of the worst hit countries in Europe and Macron is expected to announce that it will move into the highest 'Phase 3' response level on Thursday. In a show of "confidence" on Tuesday, the president strolled the Champs Elysées, telling passersby: "I'm shaking hands using my heart."
On Thursday, Macron used his televised address to remind the nation of "European freedoms" that need to be defended as he insisted the borders can't be shut and the virus "has no passport" anyway.
Angela Merkel has also expressed characteristic unease with the idea of closing European borders. At a press conference on Wednesday, Merkel said border closures are "not appropriate" and that it makes more sense for people arriving from hard hit areas to simply quarantine themselves instead of stopping flights.
The same spirit of unity and solidarity was notably absent last week, however, when France and Germany, among others, refused to lift controls on the export of protective medical gear to avoid facing shortages at home - even after a desperate request to do so from Italy.
The refusal was criticized by EU crisis management commissioner Janez Lenarcic who said the ban risks "undermining" the bloc's "collective approach" to handling the crisis.
Freed from the constraints of any collective decision-making, post-Brexit UK has still been criticized for what some have regarded as a slow response to the pandemic. A former public health chief, Professor John Ashton, slammed the government's "complacent" response, saying it "wasted a month" before getting serious.

EU condemns Trump travel ban from Europe as coronavirus spreads
BRUSSELS (AP) - The European Union on Thursday lashed out at President Donald Trump's "unilateral" decision to restrict travel from Europe to the United States over the coronavirus, saying that the illness does not respect borders.
Trump announced that all European travel would be cut off, but U.S. officials later clarified that restrictions would apply only to most foreign citizens who have been in Europe's passport-free travel zone at any point for 14 days prior to their arrival to the United States.
"The European Union disapproves of the fact that the U.S. decision to impose a travel ban was taken unilaterally and without consultation," EU Council President Charles Michel and Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said in a joint statement.
"The coronavirus is a global crisis, not limited to any continent and it requires cooperation rather than unilateral action," the two said.
They rejected Trump's suggestion that Europe is not doing enough to combat COVID-19, saying that the 27-nation bloc "is taking strong action to limit the spread of the virus."
The so-called Schengen area comprises 26 countries including EU members France, Italy, German, Greece, Austria and Belgium, where the bloc has its headquarters, but also others like Switzerland, Norway and Iceland.
The restrictions announced by Trump don't apply to the United Kingdom, where the number of confirmed cases has reached 460, or Ireland, which isn't part of Schengen.
According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control's latest figures, more than 17,000 cases of COVID-19 have been confirmed across Europe, and more than 700 people have died on the continent.
For most people, the new coronavirus causes only mild or moderate symptoms, such as fever and cough. For some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness, including pneumonia. The vast majority of people recover from the new virus.
With the virus now present in all 27 EU countries, the bloc's top officials have pledged to stand united in fighting the disease and are likely to adopt a common approach in their response to Trump's announcement.
This week, von der Leyen announced the launch of a "corona response investment fund" seeded with 7.5 billion euros that she said would reap billions more. It's aimed at propping up health care structures, small businesses suffering from the impact of the virus and labor markets where jobs might be hit.
von der Leyen postponed a trip Thursday to Greece to discuss the migrant stand-off with Turkey in order to focus on combating the rapid spread of the virus.
Several EU meetings have been cancelled to slow the spread, but the bloc's interior ministers are still scheduled to gather in Brussels on Friday. EU health ministers were holding a video-conference later Thursday.
As the virus spreads, more European countries are adopting drastic measures. After Italy entered a lockdown, Denmark said all schools and day-care facilities in the country will be closed from Monday. All public servants who don't perform critical functions, have been ordered to stay home for the next two weeks.
Meanwhile, the U.S. Army decided to cut down the number of troops taking part in massive war games that have been planned across Europe over the next six months because of the virus pandemic.
The Defender-Europe 2020 exercises were set to involve around 20,000 American personnel, the biggest deployment of U.S. troops to Europe in the last 25 years.
But U.S. Army Europe said "in light of the current coronavirus outbreak, we will modify the exercise by reducing the number of U.S. participants." No details on numbers were provided.

EU condemns Trump's 'unilateral' Schengen area travel ban
The European Union has condemned the decision of President of the United States Donald Trump to ban all flights originating from the Schengen area as the new coronavirus (Covid-19) continues to spread.
"The European Union disapproves of the fact that the U.S. decision to impose a travel ban was taken unilaterally and without consultation," a joint statement by European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said.
President Trump on Thursday went on television to address the nation, arguing that the EU had not done enough to fight what he called a "foreign virus" and claiming the infection in the US had been "seeded" by European visitors.

EU Leaders Slam Trump's "Unliteral" Travel Ban, Global Outbreak Death Toll Passes 4,500: Live Updates
Following last night's Oval Office unveiling of a 30-day travel ban affecting roughly two dozen European countries, though not the UK, which confirmed its 7th death from the outbreak. Notably, the ban will only affect the movement of people (and American citizens are of course exempt) but not trade in goods, as the White House hastily clarified when they saw the market's initial reaction, and will exempt the UK.
London was notably silent after the surprise announcement, but in Brussels, the bureaucrats running the EU were somewhat less than pleased. EU leaders slammed President Trump's "unilateral" travel ban and warned the coronavirus pandemic is an international problem that demands coordinated action (like what Christine Lagarde demanded yesterday?). European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen European Council Leader Charles Michel issued a joint statement on Thursday that highlighted European alarm at the US move. "The coronavirus is a global crisis, not limited to any continent and it requires cooperation rather than unilateral action," they said, per the FT.
Meanwhile, Spain's entire cabinet is being tested for coronavirus, with the results due to be announced on Thursday afternoon, and countries in Scandinavia have begun shutting down schools less than a day after Sweden reported its first virus-related death.
Notably, the ban leaves out all of Asia, stymieing liberals who were ready to pounce on another "racist" Trump travel ban. Though many are still bellyaching about Trump's decision to leave out the UK, which is run by Trump's 'good friend' Boris Johnson. But as Rencap's Charlie Robertson pointed out, Trump's decision to exempt the UK was based on epidemiological evidence.

Demanding More Cash, Erdogan Walks Out of EU Meeting Over Migrant Crisis
The Islamist leader of Turkey walked out of his meeting with European Union officials after the two sides failed to reach an agreement on the migrant crisis at the Greek border Monday night.
In a meeting in Brussels on Monday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan demanded that the EU send more financial support in return for halting the flow of migration into the bloc, claiming that the cost of housing an estimated 3.5 million migrants cost Turkey ?40 billion.
The meeting between Mr Erdogan and the president of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen and European Council President Charles Michel, was cut short after just an hour and forty-five minutes after the two sides failed to reach an agreement, according to The Times.
The Turkish leader also called on the European Union to grant visa-free travel for Turkish citizens, as well as the EU taking in more refugees from the Middle East. Mr Erdogan accused the EU of failing to meet its obligations of the 2016 agreement that halted the flow of migration into the bloc in exchange for ?6 billion in aid.
Acknowledging the failure of the meeting, Mrs von der Leyen said that the two sides could not agree on the terms of the agreement, saying: "The 2016 agreement remains valid and we need to implement missing elements. We have indicated to President Erdogan that we are willing to move forward as long as it is reciprocal."
Mr Michel said that despite the failure of the meeting on Monday, talks will continue between the two sides "to work to clarify the implementation of the deal to be certain we are on the same page"

Officials from Turkish regime and European Union convene amid standoff over migrants
ANKARA, Turkey (AP) - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will visit Brussels on Monday for talks with European Union officials amid a standoff between Ankara and Brussels over sharing of responsibility for refugees and migrants.
Thousands of migrants have massed at Turkey's land border with EU-member Greece after Erdogan's government made good on a long-standing threat and announced that Turkey - which is home to more than 3.5 million Syrian refugees - would no longer prevent migrants and refugees from crossing into EU countries.
There have been no reports of migrants massing at Turkey's border with EU-member Bulgaria, with the issue concentrated at Greek borders.
Erdogan has demanded Europe shoulder more of the burden of caring for refugees. He has accused the EU of not meeting its obligations, including failing to pay money promised to Turkey under a 2016 EU-Turkish deal to stem the flow of migrants to Europe. The EU says it is disbursing the funds.
The Turkish leader is scheduled to meet with European Council President Charles Michel and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen to discuss the 2016 deal. Erdogan was also scheduled to meet with NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg, his office said.
The 2016 deal, which slashed the number of migrants arriving in Europe, called for Turkey to halt the flow of Europe-bound migrants and refugees in exchange for up to 6 billion euros ($6.7 billion) in aid for Syrian refugees on its territory, fast-track EU membership and visa-free travel to Europe for Turkish citizens.
A high-level Turkish official said the sides would discuss a possible revision of the 2016 deal. It wasn't clear if an agreement would emerge Monday. The official spoke on condition of anonymity in line with government rules.
von der Leyen said the meeting would be the "restart of a dialogue." She repeated that the EU has the obligation to protect its borders, but also to guarantee the fundamental individual right for asylum.
Topics on the table would include regional stability, reducing tensions and pressure at the Greece-Turkey border, and Syria, she said.
Erdogan was also expected to raise concerns over alleged violence carried out by Greek authorities as they push back the migrants.
Greece has deployed riot police and border guards to repel people trying to enter the country and the Greek border area has since seen violent confrontations between them and the migrants. On Saturday, youths threw rocks at Greek police and tried to pull down a border fence.
Many migrants have alleged mistreatment in the hands of Greek police, and Turkey says two migrants were killed in violence along the border. Greece has denied the accusations.
EU foreign ministers have criticized Turkey, saying it is using the migrants' desperation "for political purposes." EU countries are still dealing with the political fallout from a wave of mass migration five years ago.
Thousands of migrants have slept in terrible conditions in makeshift camps near the Greek border since the Turkish government said they were free to go, waiting for the opportunity to enter Greece.

EU Chief: If UK Wants Access to Single Market It Must 'Play by the Rules'
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has said that if the UK wants a trade deal with access to the Single Market, Brexit Britain must stay constrained by EU rules.
Addressing reporters in Brussels, Belgium, on Monday, the chief of the EU's powerful executive arm said: "We are aware that there are differences in the approach towards what scope should the future agreement have and what are - if I may say so - the rules of the game everybody has to abide to."
"So it will be important that the UK makes up its mind - the closer they want to have access to the single market, the more they have to play by the rules that are the rules of the Single Market.
"If this is not the UK's choice then, of course, they will be more distant and it will be more difficult for the UK to access the single market," Mrs von der Leyen said in comments reported by the BBC.
It is not the first time that Eurocrats have demanded the UK stay aligned to EU regulations in order to secure a trade deal with the EU. However, remarks from the EU's lead negotiator Michel Barnier revealed the extent to which Brussels wants London to obey other European institutions, specifically continuing to subscribe to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), which is administered by a non-EU body the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), and continued abeyance to rulings by the European Court of Justice (ECJ).
At the close of the first week of negotiations on Friday, Mr Barnier said of divergence from the ECHR: "If this position is maintained, this would have an immediate and concrete effect on the ambition of our cooperation, which will remain possible on the basis of international conventions, but which cannot be as ambitious as we wish." Effectively, without close adherence to European legal frameworks, aspects of a deal are on the line.
Mr Barnier reiterated that the EU demands continued access to British fishing waters, of which the return to British control Nigel Farage maintains is the "acid test of Brexit".

Migrant Crisis 2.0: People Smugglers Slash EU Passage Prices to £11 After Turkey Opens the Gates
Turkish people-smugglers are reportedly operating freely along the border with Greece, charging migrants as low as £11 a head to help them get past Greek border patrol guards.
Greece has stopped tens of thousands of migrants attempting to illegally enter the European Union through its land border with Turkey, yet many migrants are still attempting to cross into Greece illegally by crossing the Evros River near the Turkish town of Erdine.
The Greek military has installed loudspeakers along the river, playing a message telling the migrants to "go back". However, people-smugglers operating in the area say that they have been given a free pass by Turkish President Erdogan to smuggle migrants across the border.
"We had these migrants who arrived to cross Greece. It has become something allowed from our Turkish side. In the past, we used to get them across for $200 or $300 (£150-£230) per person and now we do it for $15 (£11)," a people-smuggler named Semih told Euronews.
"Of course I see it as my duty. It's money that motivates me. I want them to go away from here [the migrants] so that Turkey's economy gets better. That's all that matters to me," he added.
Another migrant smuggler named Cevat said: "Currently, migrants continue to flock here. Thousands of people, it's even hard to say exactly how many. Thousands of people pass through here from evening to morning."
"Our President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has given instructions on this subject, he has given his agreement for them [migrants] to leave. But on the Greek side, we are rather experiencing difficulties. Just a short while ago, right over there, Greek soldiers pointed their guns at us," he added.
There are approximately 3.6 million asylum seekers in Turkey, and last week President Erdogan said that he will "open the gates" to migrants seeking to enter into Europe if the EU does not support his military actions in Syria.
Following a visit to the Greek border by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Tuesday, the EU pledged ?700 million (£608m) in aid to Greece to protect the border from waves of migrants, according to The Telegraph. The bloc will also send 100 guards from Frontex, the European border security force, alongside two helicopters, a plane, and seven patrol boats to help deal with the growing crisis.

EU trade chief Hogan returns to Washington as auto tariffs loom
European Trade Commissioner Phil Hogan returned to Washington on Thursday for talks with U.S. counterpart Robert Lighthizer designed to improve transatlantic ties as the threat of auto tariffs looms. Hogan first visited the United States as EU trade chief three weeks ago, declaring at the time that the European Union's bid to reset EU-U.S. economic relations had got off to a good start.
However, U.S. President Donald Trump said after meeting European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen in Davos a week later that he would impose tariffs on imports of cars from the European Union if no trade deal were struck.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin told Fox Business Network that reaching an agreement with the EU on agriculture and other issues was a priority for the Trump administration. He said Trump's policies had already led to increased European investment in the United States, another key priority.
"We've already seen a tremendous amount of investment by the European automakers into the U.S. and building factories here," he said. "That's also part of the agenda and that is working." Hogan had been due to address a conference on the digital economy in Brussels on Thursday morning, but abruptly changed his plans.
A European Commission spokesman said Hogan would hold talks in Washington with a number of U.S. administration officials, including Lighthizer. "These meetings are part of the regular bilateral contacts being held at technical and political level in the framework of the discussions for a positive bilateral transatlantic trade agenda, launched by the European Union and the United States in July 2018," the spokesman said.
In July 2018, Trump agreed to hold off on imposing car tariffs while Washington and Brussels discussed ways to improve economic ties. The EU has since agreed to boost imports of soybeans, liquefied natural gas and beef from the United States. EU Ambassador Stavros Lambrinidis this week said there clearly tensions in U.S.-EU relations, but Brussels was focused on shoring up ties between the two large trading partners.
"We are very serious about having a discussion with the United States about building on the win-win relationship that we have already," he told a conference hosted by the Washington International Trade Association. "We have to focus on the future. There are opportunity costs to just focusing on the irritants."
Lambrinidis told Reuters he had no information on a possible visit to Washington by von der Leyen.

We can change!' EU leaders vow to make sure it is 'better loved' with 'less red tape' to stop other countries following the UK out as the nation prepares for Brexit
Ursula von der Leyen, Charles Michel and David Sassoli penned a joint article to mark the moment of Brexit
They praised the UK for its 'creativity' and spoke of their 'fondness' for Britain but claimed 'size matters'
They argued that Britain will no longer wield the influence it had as a member of the bloc on the world stage
Speaking in Brussels today Ms von der Leyen told the UK that 'strength does not lie in splendid isolation'
She said she wants to have 'best possible' relationship with UK but would 'never be as good as membership'
Meanwhile, Britain's MEPs today left European Parliament in Brussels for final time ahead of Brexit deadline
Brexit Party MEPs marched out of building carrying a banner emblazoned with the words 'Brexodus Express'
'We want them to be keener about the European project and so our concern is to stop using jargon and to cut down the red tape,' he told a Brussels press conference.
In a joint newspaper article they had spoke of their 'fondness for the United Kingdom' and praised Britons for their 'creativity, ingenuity, culture, and traditions'.
But they could not resist putting the boot in as the UK prepares to leave the EU at 11pm tonight.
The trio suggested that on its own Britain will not be able to influence global affairs in the way that it has been able to as a member of the bloc.
They then used the press conference to double down on the jibe as Ms von der Leyen said 'strength does not lie in splendid isolation'.
Their hostility was in contract to an olive branch held out by Donald Tusk to his departing UK 'friends'.
Ahead of the historic moment at 11pm, the former European Commission president used an online message to say: 'We will always be a community. And no Brexit will ever change that.'
The comments came as Britain's MEPs left the European Parliament for the final time.

Boris Johnson and EU Chiefs Sign UK Withdrawal Agreement Heralding Historic Brexit Moment
The President of the European Commission, the head of the European Council, and UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson have signed the agreement governing the United Kingdom's withdrawal of the European Union, one of the final steps towards Brexit at the end of January.
New Commission president Ursula von der Leyen shared photographs of herself and European Council president Charles Michel signing the document - in blue ballpoint pens, an informal touch defying the normal global convention of signing treaties with real ink pens - Friday morning, overlooked in their task by a stern Michel Barnier, the EU's chief Brexit negotiator.
The leather-bound, 600-page document was then rushed to London by diplomatic courier where it was signed British Prime Minister Boris Johnson at Downing Street, his official residence. The Prime Minister was photographed signing the document with a fountain pen. Noting the importance of the occasion, Mr Johnson said: "This signature heralds a new chapter in our nation's history."
Now the withdrawal agreement has been signed off by Britain's Parliament, having passed both houses and been made law by Queen Elizabeth II on Thursday, by top Eurocrats von der Leyen and Michel, and by Prime Minister Johnson, the final step is for the document to be ratified by the European Parliament. While there are just seven days to go until the official Brexit date of January 31st, this is not expected to be voted on by MEPs until the last moment, as late as Thursday or Friday next week.

Trump Doubles Down on Threats to Impose Tariffs on European Cars
U.S. president is attending World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland
DAVOS, Switzerland-President Trump said Tuesday that he is serious about imposing tariffs on European automobiles if he can't strike a trade agreement with the European Union. "They know that I'm going to put tariffs on them if they don't make a deal that's a fair deal," Mr. Trump said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum. Mr. Trump declined to say what deadline he is imposing on the negotiations before he would move ahead with the auto tariffs. '"They know what the deadline is,"' the president said, adding that he would reveal it publicly soon.
The remarks came on Mr. Trump's first day at the annual summit of world leaders and business executives. He spoke to the Journal shortly before participating in a bilateral meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. He didn't mention auto tariffs in brief remarks to reporters during the meeting. The Trump administration let a previous deadline of Nov. 13 for the imposition of auto tariffs lapse. Former European Trade Commissioner Cecilia Malmstrom said last year the EU considered that lapsed deadline as an indication Washington wouldn't enact the duties on auto imports from Europe. She said the EU would strike back with duties on American exports.
The president also confirmed that he has come to an agreement with French President Emmanuel Macron to postpone until the end of 2020 the tax that France levied on big tech companies last year. Mr. Trump said he threatened to impose a 100% tax on French wine if the digital tax wasn't paused. "It's not that I'm in love with them," Mr. Trump said of U.S. tech companies, "but if anybody is going to tax these companies, it's going to be U.S. that taxes these companies." Mr. Trump is scheduled to take part in several bilateral meetings with world leaders during his two-day trip to Davos. He said he did not currently have plans to meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who is also attending the summit. "I didn't know he was here. I don't think we had it planned," Mr. Trump said when asked by the Journal about a potential meeting. But he said he would be willing to meet with him: "I think he's a really good guy."
The president said his administration is developing a middle-class tax cut that would go into effect if he keeps the presidency and Republicans control Congress. He declined to offer any details about the measure. "We're talking a fairly substantial...middle-class tax cut that'll be subject to taking back the House and obviously keeping the Senate and keeping the White House," he said. The president said the administration is crafting it now and it will be unveiled in 90 days. Mr. Trump confirmed that he is planning to add additional nations to an updated version of his travel ban that the administration is expected to release later this month. He wouldn't reveal which countries would be added. The Supreme Court in 2018 affirmed Mr. Trump's power to block citizens of several Muslim-majority nations from entering the U.S., finding the authority was justified on independent national-security grounds including an administration study that found weaknesses in how some countries vetted their travelers.
As for the administration's longstanding effort to oust Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro, Mr. Trump said he is still weighing additional options without offering details. "We're looking at many different things," he said. "We have a lot of options." The president said he didn't know Greta Thunberg, the teenage Swedish climate activist whom Mr. Trump criticized in a December tweet for what he described as an "anger management problem." Ms. Thunberg is speaking at the Davos summit as well. "I don't really know anything about her," Mr. Trump said before adding that she's "very angry."
The president occasionally paused the interview to comment on Fox News, which was playing on a television in the background during the interview. At one point, he commented on footage of the gun-rights protests in Virginia, calling the state's governor, Democrat Ralph Northam, a "wack job." He suggested the protests have benefited him politically. "Thank you very much for handing me Virginia," he said.

BRUSSELS - The European Union said Wednesday it "will spare no efforts" in its attempts to keep alive an international deal preventing Iran from developing atomic weapons.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said her foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell will continue to work "in the midterm" to reach out to all participants in the global deal in the hopes that the 2015 nuclear agreement can still be saved despite a rollback on commitments from Tehran.
von der Leyen also reiterated the need to de-escalate the tension in the region, especially after Iran's missile attack on two American bases in response to a US strike that killed one of its top generals, Quds Force commander Qassem Soleimani.

"The use of weapons must stop now to give space for dialogue," she said. "We are called upon to do everything possible to rekindle talks. There cannot be enough of that."

Speaking alongside von der Leyen, Borrell urged all parties involved in the growing tensions to eschew more military action.
"The latest rocket attack on airbases in Iraq used by US and coalition forces, among them European forces, is yet another example of escalation and increased confrontation. It is in no one's interest to turn up the spiral of violence even further," he said.
Borrell has invited Iranian Foreign Minister Javad Zarif to Brussels for talks, but a date for his visit has yet to be set amid a frenzy of diplomatic activities. The EU foreign ministers have organized a special meeting on Friday to discuss the ongoing crisis.
Iran struck the nuclear deal in 2015 with the United States, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Russia and China. The deal, formally known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, has been on life support since US President Donald Trump unilaterally abandoned it in 2018, triggering sanctions that have hurt Iran's struggling economy. Since then, Tehran has gradually rolled back its commitment to the deal.

Borrell said the Iran nuclear deal is "today more important than ever because this is the only place where we can sit together with the Russians and Chinese to talk on a multilateral basis about the many risks that we are facing. It's one of the most important tools of nonproliferation and regional security."
After Soleimani was assassinated in the US drone attack, Iran announced over the weekend that it would no longer respect limits set on how many centrifuges it can use to enrich uranium.
Zarif said the move was a "remedial step" taken within the framework of the nuclear deal and he said it could be reversed.

Hillary 2.0? Data on New EU President's Official Phone Wiped
A criminal complaint has been filed after it was revealed that Germany's Defence Ministry wiped data from the phone of its former boss and new European Commission president, Ursula von der Leyen - echoing similar incidents involving Hillary Clinton in the United States.
Green Party defence spokesman Tobias Lindner filed a criminal complaint over suspected deliberate deletion of data from Ursula von der Leyen's official phone from her time serving as Germany's Defence Minister.
"We have to assume that people in office destroyed evidence. Such actions can have criminal relevance", said Lindner in comments reported by Deutsche Welle.
"First they said von der Leyen's phone could not be found, they didn't know where it was. A week ago they said it was in the ministry, but only von der Leyen knew the PIN code, and yesterday they confessed that the relevant phone data had been deleted in August", he added.
The revelation of von der Leyen's deleted data comes amidst a corruption investigation in Germany over military spending and possible cronyism in the process of awarding military contracts.

Former german defense minister magically deletes her phone after subpoena
First the mobile phone was "gone", says the opposition. Then the PIN was not available. Now - it is suddenly said - all data has been "security deleted". A scandal within a scandal?
The starting point: the Ministry of Defense is said to have awarded contracts worth millions of euros, bypassing the law on public procurement. A committee of inquiry is trying to find out. Important clues could have been provided by the mobile phone of former Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen (CDU).
That was previously unavailable. On Thursday then the bang: As the ARD capital city studio experienced, the vice-government commissioner for the clarification of the affair, Markus Paulick, had to admit in a confidential meeting of the investigating committee that the data on the mobile phone were gone - "security deleted" by the manufacturer and that already in August.
All data seems to be irretrievably lost.
Particularly explosive: before the deletion, the Bundestag is said to have requested that the mobile phone be admitted as evidence.
And also the search for the mobile phone, which broke out afterwards, probably went strangely. FDP member of parliament Alexander Müller speaks of an "annoying delaying tactic" by the government: At first, the ministry had said that the mobile phone was being searched for. Then it was announced that it was still PIN-locked. Now the government has admitted that it had already been "flattened" in August, Müller told "Die Welt".

REVEALED: the EU plans to remove all free speech, but has no plans to deal with an econo-fiscal disaster
The new EC President doesn't start until November, but is already planning a Federal EU in which no opposition to directives will be tolerated. At the same time, more and more evidence of economic quicksand is available for those beyond ideological space cadets to view. If Great Britain wants to survive as a genuinely democratic, free-thinking, independently trading State and important financial centre, it is absolutely vital that we shed the leaden boots of a federalising Europe, and remain fleet of foot in a world that is about to change beyond all recognition.
Like some pantomime Cruella de Ville, incoming EU Commission "President" Ursula von der Leyen has wasted no time in ensuring zat orderss vill be obeyt at all timess. Her target - surprise, surprise - is social media and (quote) 'the removal of illegal content, including racism and xenophobia from websites'. Even the Commission itself describes the new "rule book" as introducing 'sweeping legal powers to regulate hate speech other illegal content and political advertising'.
Ostensibly, the move is being positioned as an 'overhaul of how the EU treats tech companies', but the rules will be applied to every last online commentator be they big or small. von der Leyen gleefully promised that the new legislation "will upgrade our digital rules and complete our digital single market". Or put another way, "our single point of view".

Germany's Next Chancellor: Merkel's Protege Keeps Digging Herself Into Deeper Hole
At the center of public interest, throughout not only Germany, but most of Europe in the months of June and July is "Who will be Germany's next Chancellor?"
Angela Merkel's "shoes" are not exactly easy to fill.
After around the end of 2018, Merkel announced that she would not take part in the 2021 elections. She transferred the leadership position of the Christian Democratic Union to her protégé Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer, who is referred to as AKK in Germany.
But she did not endorse AKK, not for the party leader position, nor as chancellor. AKK barely won the vote for leadership with 25 votes.
AKK is unlikely to become chancellor. Shortly after she became leader of the CDU, she drew criticism for a joke about transgender people.
A few months after that, she botched her response to a viral YouTube video that sought "the destruction" of the CDU.
https://youtu.be/4Y1lZQsyuSQ
The CDU had poor performance in the European elections this May, losing many seats to the Greens, as well as to the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats.
Kramp-Karrenbauer drew sharp criticism across the spectrum of the German media due to the poor result, despite actually winning the election.
Her poll numbers have been dropping steadily since she was elected, and she now faces a 36% approval rating.
Most recently, Germany Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen was confirmed as European Commission President, and the seat became vacant.
AKK was announced as Germany's Defense Minister, which is widely considered as a "poisoned chalice."
Kramp-Karrenbauer's colleagues welcomed the appointment. "When such an important position, a core job in the cabinet, becomes available, then a CDU leader must step up and take responsibility, and she is doing that," said Ralph Brinkhaus, the leader of the CDU parliamentary caucus.
"If you want to show leadership you don't consider the risk, you get on with the job. In life as in politics, there are always risks. If you don't trust yourself to take on hard tasks, you don't belong in politics."
The job of Defense Minister is a hard one, Germany's armed forces, according to critics chronically underfunded, are consistently accused of inefficiency and of having inadequate or defective equipment. It is a difficult position to improve one's reputation in.
And, surely enough, on July 20th, AKK's approval fell further, with only 17% of people wanting to see her as the next Chancellor.
The next possible successor as Chancellor that comes to mind is the possibility of a Green politician taking up the role, after the exquisitely high performance at the European Parliament elections.
The possible options are two - Annalena Baerbock or Robert Habeck, the co-leaders of the Green party.

von der Leyen urges 'green deal' for a more united EU
von der Leyen, who is seeking to win over EU lawmakers, said she would make Europe the "first climate neutral continent." She also pledged to have more female EU commissioners and to extend the Brexit date.
Germany's Ursula von der Leyen on Tuesday pledged to address climate change, as she attempted to win support in her final speech to the European Parliament before it votes on her nomination for president of the European Commission.
von der Leyen emphasized to EU lawmakers the need for Europe to remain united in dealing with authoritarianism, protectionism and, most pressingly, climate change. "We must first rediscover our unity, if we are united on the inside nobody will divide us from the outside," she said.
"Our most pressing challenge is keeping our planet healthy," von der Leyen told EU lawmakers, adding that she would propose legislation within her first 100 days to make Europe the "first climate neutral continent in the world by 2050."

Italian socialist Sassoli to be president of EU Parliament
Italian socialist David-Maria Sassoli was elected Wednesday to head the European parliament, completing the bloc's drawn-out and at times acrimonious appointment process for its top jobs.
In the second round of voting at the Strasbourg-based legislature, Sassoli received 345 votes, well over the absolute majority required of the 667 available.
Conservative Jan Zahradil from the Czech Republic got 160 votes, while the German Greens leader Ska Keller received 119 and the Spanish left-wing candidate Sira Rego trailed with 43.
The European Parliament has an array of powers within the EU including given its ascent to the others that EU leaders picked for its top jobs.
None are more important, perhaps, than deciding whether to back German defense minister Ursula von der Leyen as the next president of the EU's executive Commission president, replacing Jean-Claude Juncker.
On Tuesday, EU leaders also nominated Belgium's Prime Minister Charles Michel to lead the European Council, which brings together the leaders of the member states. And Frenchwoman Christine Lagarde was tapped to be president of the European Central Bank and Spain's Josep Borrell the bloc's foreign policy chief.
All were linked in one big compromise arrangement and voting down Sassoli would have upset the political balance of the drawn-out and complicated process.
Sassoli succeeds fellow Italian Antonio Tajani, an Italian EPP Christian Democrat who stepped down on Wednesday.
"You have a strong European Parliament standing by your side," said EPP parliamentary leader Manfred Weber, who is slated to take over in 2-1/2 years based on the leaders' top job agreement.
Sassoli, 63, is a journalist turned politician who has been in the European Parliament since 2009.

IMF's Lagarde Picked To Replace Mario Draghi As ECB President
Update: After three days of heated wrangling, the European Council has selected its nominees for four of the bloc's top jobs, breaking a troubling deadlock that had exposed the cracks in the status quo's facade. And the biggest surprise is that the consummate politician and connoisseur of Louis Vuitton handbags, Christine Lagarde, who is currently busy justifying the IMF's crisis fighting budget, has been picked to replace Mario Draghi whose term runs out on Oct 31.
According to the prime minister of Luxembourg, the European Council has nominated Charles Michel to stand for EU Council president, Ursula von der Leyen to lead the EU Commission, Joseph Borrell as high rep for foreign affairs and Lagarde to replace Mario Draghi at the ECB.
Though it's not a guarantee, Lagarde's nomination means it's incredibly likely that she will be confirmed to succeed Draghi. The new leaders of the some of the bloc's most important bodies will officially take over on Nov. 1.
Lagarde's nomination is a sign that the ECB is standing by its commitment to 'diversity' (though her background and views are extremely similar to Draghi's). The ECB had said it wanted a woman to lead the central bank, and now it appears extremely likely that will happen.

Macron proposes Lagarde to head ECB in push to end EU jobs deadlock
President Emmanuel Macron sought to break a deadlock on Tuesday over assigning the EU's top jobs by proposing France's Christine Lagarde, now head of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), to lead the European Central Bank (ECB), diplomatic sources said.
In his proposal, made to tired EU leaders on a third day of arm-wrestling over who will next hold the bloc's top posts, Macron also proposed Germany's Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen to become president of the European Commission.
The leaders are trying to balance political affiliations, the varying interests of different regions, and an acute lack of women in senior ranks as they seek to fill five top jobs coming vacant later this year.
"Things are going smoothly now," one source said of discussions around the French president's proposal.
The marathon talks have underlined the growing fragmentation in the 28-nation European Union. In a sign of a fresh push for a compromise, the start of the leaders' talks on Tuesday was delayed repeatedly to allow more time for separate consultations.
"Everyone has to understand that they have to shift a little," German Chancellor Angela Merkel told reporters. "I say that to everyone. Then there will be a chance of reaching a deal."
A diplomatic source said Merkel, the EU's most powerful leader, was "very positive" about the proposal of Lagarde, a former center-right French finance minister. She is also likely to welcome the proposal of von der Leyen, who is from Merkel's governing conservatives.
Italy and ex-communist eastern states had blocked Dutch Socialist Frans Timmermans on Monday from taking up the post of Commission president, the highest-profile job in Brussels, though on Tuesday Spain's Socialist acting prime minister, Pedro Sanchez, was still sticking by him.
The Commission supervises EU states' budgets, acts as the bloc's competition watchdog and conducts trade negotiations with third countries.
Its presidency is the key post of the five, who will shape policy in everything from climate to migration and finance for the world's biggest economic bloc and its 500 million people.
The struggle to share out the posts - which also include the new head of the European Parliament, the bloc's top diplomat and the chairman of EU summits - has already taken a toll.
The deadlock has meant the postponement of a separate meeting on Italy's parlous public finances, and is distracting the EU as a nuclear deal it helped to forge with Iran is edging closer to collapse.
The stalemate in decision-making has also cast fresh doubt on whether the EU can take in any new members from the Western Balkans, some of which are being courted by Moscow.
It is highly unusual for a summit to run into a third day, and this round is already the third attempt to decide the jobs.
The inability to reach consensus bolsters criticism from anti-establishment nationalists and undermines the EU's image as it faces multiple external challenges, from the United States, Russia, Iran and China among others.
If Macron's proposal gets approved, it would be the first time that women have ever been at the helm of the Commission and the ECB, which steers the economies of the 19 member states of the single-currency euro zone.

Germany will continue to train soldiers from Saudi Arabia despite its brutal military campaign in Yemen.
Germany will continue to train soldiers from Saudi Arabia despite its brutal military campaign in Yemen, reported German news agency DPA on Monday.
Five Saudi soldiers are expected to start an officer's training course in July with the German army, while two others are to receive similar preparation with the air force. Seven more Saudi soldiers will begin German language training in July in anticipation of starting officer's training in 2020.
The training was part of an agreement made in 2016 during an official visit by German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen.
Last year, Germany imposed a temporary halt on arms exports to Saudi Arabia following the assassination of Saudi critic Jamal Khashoggi in a Saudi diplomatic building. However, it has lifted restrictions on certain components following French and British pressure.
'Disgrace'
Berlin also cited the 4-year-old Yemen war when suspending arms exports to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The conflict triggered what the UN has described as currently "the biggest humanitarian disaster in the world."
Christian Blex, an opposition state lawmaker for the far-right Alternative for Germany, criticized the military cooperation in a tweet, saying: "[Angela] Merkel, [Heiko] Maas, von der Leyen - anyone with their hand in the game is a disgrace," referring to the German chancellor, foreign minister and defense minister, respectively.

'Emotional Bond': Top Berlin Official Defends NATO as Necessary for World
The 'World still needs NATO' wrote German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen in an impassioned appeal to support the increasingly unpopular military bloc.
In an effusive New York Times opinion piece published Friday, German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen pleaded for support for the continuation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), even as the bloc increasingly comes under fire from nationalist political movements across Europe.
Describing NATO as an "emotional bond" between Europe and the US, the top Berlin military official appealed for a continuation of the alliance, now seen as being under threat of dissolution after 70 years, particularly at the hands of an acrimonious US president, Donald Trump, according to the New York Times.
Trump has made it a point to doubt the utility of US membership in the bloc, describing NATO as a Cold War relic and "obsolete," according to USA Today.
von der Leyen instead beseeched members to support the alliance, asking nations to increase support and to recognize its importance, according to the New York Times.
NATO is an "irreplaceable building block for an international order that favors freedom and peace," she wrote, adding that terror threats - including those posed by Daesh - are limited as long as the bloc remains in power.
"Maybe the most basic benefit of NATO is that it provides reliability in an unreliable world," she added, cited by Nytimes.com.
In making what many suggested was a deeply personal plea for NATO, von der Leyen stated that the military bloc "represents a special, even emotional bond between the American and European continents."
The top German defense official's plea follows recent reports that Trump met recently with senior US military officials regarding Washington's withdrawal from the 1947 alliance.

German army floats plan to recruit foreigners
Struggling to fill its ranks, Germany's military is drawing up plans to recruit nationals from other European countries as part of a drive to beef up the armed forces.
Defence Minister Ursula von der Leyen wants to recruit Poles, Italians and Romanians, magazine der Spiegel said, citing a ministry document.
The German military, or Bundeswehr, has stepped up its recruitment efforts as part of a broader reset following Russia's annexation of Crimea from Ukraine in 2014. Last year, Germany said it would increase the size of its armed forces to 198,000 active soldiers by 2024 from 179,000.
Pressure on Berlin mounted again in July when U.S. President Donald Trump told a NATO summit that Washington could withdraw support for the alliance if Europe did not boost military spending.

German army admits most of its newly acquired military hardware is faulty & unfit for service
Published time: 1 Nov, 2018 00:07
The bulk of the new military equipment delivered to the German Armed Forces last year is not ready for service, the German Defense Ministry has admitted, as the force struggles to free itself from a torrent of failures.
Out of 97 pieces of military equipment delivered to the Armed Forces in 2017, only 38 are fully operational, the German Defense Ministry acknowledged, in response to a parliamentary inquiry. The proportion of working equipment works out at about 39 percent, but the ministry hopes to boost these figures to 70 percent.
The fate of the cutting-edge Puma Infantry Fighting Vehicles (IFV) and the Airbus A400M military transport aircraft is what concerns the German military the most. Produced jointly by the German Kraus Maffei-Wegmann (KMW) and Rheinmetall corporations, the 43-ton Puma is thought to be one of the world's best-protected IFVs, while still having a high power-to-weight ratio. However, the ministry's figures reveal that only 27 out of 71 IFVs delivered to the army in 2017 were actually combat-ready.
The troubles the German forces are experiencing are, however, not limited to these two types of military hardware. Additional reporting by the Defense Ministry suggests that only two out of seven 'Tiger' strike helicopters are ready for service; in the case of the NH90 transport copters, it's four out of seven.
The 2017 delivery of four Eurofighter jets also ended up with only one of them being actually put into operation while three others were returned to the manufacturers to be re-fitted with new main on-board computers.
The shortcomings in the military industrial complex have been sharply criticized by the lawmakers. "Brand new military equipment [delivered] directly from the production lines of the defense industry [facilities] does not work. It is unacceptable that the industries are provided with materials and funded but it does not work," Matthias Hoehn, an MP from the Left Party, who was behind the inquiry, said.
The U33, U34 and U36 submarines are seen at the Eckerfoerde German Navy base. © Morris MacMatzen / Getty Images Das Boot ist kaputt! Germany has the world's best submarines… but none of them work
Hoehn also accused the German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen of "allowing defense industry bungling [worth] billions of dollars at the expense of the taxpayers." The minister herself called the statistics "not particularly meaningful," adding that the situation is "complex." "We know that there are certain shortcomings," she admitted.
The German military have been continuously struggling with a series of problems plaguing their equipment for quite some time. The German Army -known as Bundeswehr and one of NATO's largest militaries- is now a steady source of news about planes that can't fly, tanks that break down and vessels that are unfit for maritime operations.
Last autumn, Germany was literally left without its entire submarine fleet as all of them were either on maintenance or in dire need of repairs. In November 2017, it also became known that more than half of the Bundeswehr's tank fleet is unfit for service. Only 95 out of 244 Leopard 2 main battle tanks were said to be combat-ready, while the remaining tanks were either disarmed or lacked critical spare parts.
In February 2018, it turned out that the he German military can't find enough money to fund a long-awaited modernization of the Puma IFVs. In August, it was also revealed that the existing vehicles are not suitable for tall soldiers

German Defense Minister Calls for Longer Mandate for Its Military in Iraq
German troops are currently tasked with training the Middle Eastern country's military, as well as the Kurdish Peshmerga, to counter the remnants of terrorist forces.
German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen has urged for a long-term mandate for the country's troops deployed in Iraq, Deutsche Welle reported. She justified the move by saying that despite the fact that Daesh* has suffered significant defeat in Iraq, it still has an "ideological foothold."
"The fight against IS has left behind deep wounds and scars in the country. It takes patience for these scars to heal and for Iraq to become strong," she said.
The current mandate for German troops' stay in Iraq, issued by the country's parliament, the Bundestag, expires on October 31. It is expected to be prolonged, but the idea faces backlash from members of the Social Democratic Party, who are a part of the ruling coalition along with Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Party and Seehofer's Christian Democratic Union.
German forces in Iraq are tasked with training the country's troops in logistics, paramedic training and defusing explosive devices. Also, roughly 150 German soldiers are tasked with training Kurdish forces - the Peshmerga.

'Unimpressed': Trump Sends EU Leaders Warning Letters Ahead of NATO Summit
Washington wants its NATO allies to increase their military spending and thus reduce the burden placed on the US.
President Donald Trump has reiterated this demand in letters sent to European leaders ahead of an upcoming NATO summit in Brussels.
"Germany has to spend more money. Spain, France. It's not fair what they've done to the United States," Trump told reporters on Friday.
Berlin, for its part, believes that it was fully on track to meet its defense spending obligations.
After meeting with her US counterpart, James Mattis, last week, the German Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen said that Washington was satisfied with the projected uptick in Germany's defense outlays.
Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel was equally defensive arguing that his country "has halted the systematic fall in defense spending and takes part in a lot of military operations."
"I am not very impressed by this type of letter," Michel told reporters on the fringes an EU summit in Brussels.
With the NATO summit less than two weeks away now, the personal letters sent by President Trump to the leaders of Germany, Italy, Spain,Portugal, Luxembourg, Norway and the Netherlands may exacerbate existing tensions between the United States and its European allies, already strained after the recent G7 summit in Canada.
President Trump has repeatedly criticized its NATO allies for not doing enough to meet their commitment to spend two percent of their national GDP on defense by 2024.
European allies have been ramping up their defense spending in response to Washington's demands.
In addition to their two percent spending commitment, they are also making progress on their agreement to spend at least 20 percent of annual defense expenditure on major new equipment by 2024.

Why would he be so silent?
Dr. Ulrich Stefan Schlie, Director General for Security and Defence Policy, Federal Ministry of Defence
He has been a participant in the Munich security conference (MSC)
There is a HUUUUGE article talking about him, the Ministry of Defence secretary Ursula von der Leyen and Kissinger initiating a new studying course called Governance and international diplomacy in Bonn. Bonn was the former headquarter of the BND (German's CIA). They still have a huge facility there, but the headquarters have moved to Berlin in the meantime.
Udo Ulfkotte, the German guy exposing him and his colleagues of German journalists from several newspapers to be in contract with CIA.
He stated that the CIA did this by either unanimously making the contract or pushing the journalists. For example by sending prostitutes and recording it with a bug in a CIA-sponsored hotel room.
Ulfkotte said they hired journalists by sending them to a former military facility, which looks from the outside like a regular house in the city centre of Bonn, and pushing them into the whole topic.
So Bonn is still a very important city today for the BND.
Ulrich Schlie is also part of the International Institute for Strategic Studies.
He was also a fellow on the Tufts Fletcher school. I found an interesting point on the school's website: http://fletcher.tufts.edu/Murrow-Center/Events

in an earlier post (>>149122955) about Angela Merkel Q wrote 'Follow the bloodline'.
If THEY want to keep the bloodlines, they cannot avoid external similarities.
This makes them vulnerable, because we have a chance to detect them visually.
Hitler was not only a nazi, he was also a narcist (see sexual narcissm, narcissistic parents, narcissistic leadership)
as many other nazi were too -> subgroup.
According to available sources he was obsessed in shielding his niece Geli Raubal from having sexual contacts
with unwanted men. When looking at the pictures of Geli Raubal, Hermann Göring and Herlind Kasner (Merkel's mother)
and having the bloodline theory in mind, I looks to me, that Geli Raubal was used in order to cross
the Hitler bloodline with the Göring bloodline.
This reminds me to the case of Lady Diana which also has been used by the UK royalities to cross certain bloodlines.
If the woman later recognizes for what purpose they have used her or recognizes crimes they have committed,
they just kill her.
When looking at other german high politicians today, there are stunning similarities with high politicians
of the nazi time, independently of the political party (maybe with one exception).
Examples
Heiko Maas (german minister of justice) <-> Josef Göbbels
(In a short research I could not find out the names of his parents in order to dig if there is a bloodline
relationship between them)
Siegmar Gabriel(german secretary of state) <-> his father Walter Gabriel (a known nazi)
Another canditate would be
Ursula von der Leyen (german minister of defense), she has been compared with Magda Göbbels several
times in the press. (I can't like her and without knowledge of the above I've given her the nickname Magda
already years ago)

You are right. But I'm very sure that our Minister of Defense (Ursula von der Leyen) is planning to change the dull, masculine grey into friendlier and more inclusive rainbow colours.
