Furthermore, Russian President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly said Ukraine’s aspirations to join NATO are a red line, and expressed concern about plans by some NATO members to set up military training centres in Ukraine. This, he has said, would give them a military foothold in the region even without Ukraine joining NATO. South Africa, along with Bangladesh, Bolivia, Comoros and Djibouti, submitted a referral to the ICC to investigate whether war crimes and crimes against humanity have been committed in Gaza. Saleh al-Arouri, deputy chief of Hamas in the occupied West Bank, issued a call to arms. “We must all fight this battle, especially the resistance fighters in the West Bank,” he said in a statement.

The fact that the energy price increases have already happened, and from April [2023] we're going to be comparing the current price level to price level after those energy price increases came through [in April [2022],much of it is what we would expect to happen even if the Chancellor hadn't done anything." Charlie, Dawn’s partner was re-homed in a “flee pit” he was given some B&Q vouchers and told to decorate even though it was immediately apparent that he was in no physical or mental state to make the staging post more inhabitable. The Russian-installed head of the Donetsk oblast has imposed a curfew banning the presence of civilians on streets and public places from 11pm until 4am on Mondays through Fridays, Reuters is reporting. Denis Pushilin published a decree on Sunday that forbade assemblies, rallies and demonstrations, in addition to other mass events in the Russian-controlled parts of the Donetsk oblast – unless they were permitted by the local operational headquarters for military threat response. The country has announced the withdrawal of its diplomats from Israel, and suggested that the position of Israel's ambassador to Pretoria was becoming "untenable".The Sturgess family had to go to a charity to find the money for the funeral, the government did not assist. The Chemical used in Salisbury and Amesbury was unknown to the OPCW, no one had registered it with them (Source French and OPCW). There has been virtually no media reporting of the scandalous cover-up. This really does tell you a very great deal more about how the Western world works than the vicissitudes of the ludicrously over-promoted Theresa May and her tears of self pity. Newspaper reports frequently tell us that behaviour in UK schools is getting worse. Bullying is commonplace, they say, and teachers are harassed and abused on a daily basis. Internationally, according to some experts, violence in schools is a serious and growing problem. But what is the evidence? Are schools in the UK really becoming more violent places? And what do we actually mean by this? Fighters raided the Israeli town of Sderot, another community Be’eri, and the town of Ofakim, 30km (20 miles) east of Gaza, according to Israeli media.

Ukraine has confirmed it has captured a key village on the southern Zaporizhzhia front, Dan Sabbagh reports, in the latest step in a gradual advance aimed at splitting the Russian lines that defend the overland route to Crimea. On Wednesday, the separatists issued a plea to Moscow for help to stop alleged Ukrainian aggression – claims the US dismissed as Russian propaganda. In a 2018 documentary, Vladimir Putin answers instantly when asked if there is anything he cannot forgive. “Betrayal,” he says with no hesitation. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy declared martial law and appealed to world leaders to impose all possible sanctions on Russia, including on Putin, who he said wanted to destroy the Ukrainian state. What happens next? Last week, South Africa referred Israel’s government to the International Criminal Court (ICC) over its actions in the Gaza conflict.In its latest bulletin, the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip said at least 413 people were killed, including 78 children, and more than 2,300 wounded. Whatever Dawn died from Porton Down were able to identify it unequivocally in under 13 hours after receiving blood samples from the Skripals, in Dawns case it took them more than 4 days. No we can’t believe the lies because they are not very clever lies but we can’t see the truth either. In 1947, after the Second World War, the United Nations proposed a plan to partition the territory into two states: one Jewish, and one Palestinian Arab with the holy city of Jerusalem internationalized.

Fans say Nche's contributions were instrumental in propelling the Springboks to victory, particularly in the semi-final. Due to the unknown storage conditions of the small bottle found in the house of Mr Rowley and the fact that the environmental samples analysed in relation to the poisoning of Sergei and Yulia Skripal and Mr Nicholas Bailey were exposed to the environment and moisture, the impurity profiles of the samples available to the OPCW do not make it possible to draw conclusions as to whether the samples are from the same synthesis batch Logically, I can imagine only the following seven possibilities. (Please set me right if I’ve missed something out.)The speed and duration of this recent warming is remarkable as well. Volcanic eruptions, as an example, emit particles that temporarily cool the Earth's surface. But they have no lasting effect beyond a few years. Events like El Niño also work on fairly short and predictable cycles. On the other hand, the types of global temperature fluctuations that have contributed to ice ages occur on cycles of hundreds of thousands of years. Following the First World War, Palestine was among the Ottoman territories placed under the United Kingdom's control by the League of Nations. While other territories became independent states, the UK maintained control of Palestine, incorporating the Balfour Declaration of 1917 which called for the creation of a Jewish state within Palestinian territory. As Jewish immigration swelled, Palestinian demands for independence grew, translating to a rebellion in 1937. Secondly the blog has used the same photo of me since 2005, and it is high time to change it. I have found a photo in which I look at least 80, so hopefully it might keep us going a few years. I hope my kind technical team will get that done today. Ukraine’s admission to the alliance would require the unanimous approval of the 30 states that make up the body.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg in December rejected Russian demands to rescind a 2008 commitment to Ukraine that the country would one day become a member. However, while the OBR does expect inflation to fall sharply to2.9 per cent by the end of 2023, government policy is unlikely to be the driving factor. When it comes to government narrative and the mainstream media, mass purveyor of fake news, scepticism is your friend. Remembering that is much more important to your life than the question of which Tory frontman is in No. 10. When you actually read the article, no, they haven’t “seen first hand”. They have either been told by their terrorist friends that this is happening or they have been handed fragments of weaponry and told that they came from barrel bombs. Crawford actually states at one point that there were SAA helicopters above but [words to the effect of] “we didn’t see any barrel bombs being dropped”. Unlike our adversaries including the Integrity Initiative, the 77th Brigade, Bellingcat, the Atlantic Council and hundreds of other warmongering propaganda operations, this blog has no source of state, corporate or institutional finance whatsoever. It runs entirely on voluntary subscriptions from its readers – many of whom do not necessarily agree with the every article, but welcome the alternative voice, insider information and debate.

What does Russia want?

Israeli media reported armed men seized hostages in Ofakim. Palestinian Islamic Jihad said it was holding Israeli soldiers, and Hamas social media accounts showed footage appearing to show captives being taken into Gaza.
