The Chinese ambassador to France, Lu Shaye, in a long and wide-ranging interview with a journalist on the French television news channel LCI, about world and Chinese affairs, stated, in response to a question as to whether or not Crimea was a part of Ukraine, that ‘it depended on how one looks at the history of the situation,” and that Crimea was Russian for a long time and only given to Ukraine during the Soviet era.”

He then added,

“Even these ex-Soviet countries don’t have an effective status in international law because there was no international agreement to materialize their status as sovereign countries.”

Both these statements caused an angry reaction in the West, especially the Baltic countries and Ukraine, and drew statements condemning what he said and calls for his removal from his post.

The weather is mid-season, when old men start wearing overcoats 

And young women are still in shorts that are still too tight 

To show off their perfect legs, with bare arms and breasts alight 

The aluminium statue of “dog” — famous for being eviscerated 

With exposed tripes like a car engine — does not attract the pigeons frustrated

because dog has been shafted by well-meaning rainbow leaning council votes

And replaced with a coloured boxes stack of super-woke diversity. 

Nothing new beyond the same adorable mess of lonely people in pain

Happy couples and families walking their dogs while others dismount their bicycle

At the Hub reincarnated from a porno house into a Saturday junk-sale remains

The Orange washing-van washes the clothes of the homeless plus dry cycle

The New York Times bestselling author and entrepreneur investigates what would happen if a new financial world order took hold, one in which global elites own everything and you own nothing—and yet you are somehow happy.

When Carol Roth first heard that one of the World Economic Forum’s predictions for 2030 was “You will own nothing, and be happy,” she thought it was an outlandish fantasy. Then, she researched it. What she found was that a number of businesses, governments, and global elites share a vision of a future that sounds utopian: Everyone will have everything they need, and no one will own anything.

The embattled First Republic Bank has been taken over by regulators and will be sold to JPMorgan Chase, the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (DFPI) announced on Monday.

Earlier this week, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), a principal federal regulator of US financial institutions, asked a number of banks to submit bids for the struggling lender in an effort to secure a buyer before it entered receivership. A deadline for bids was set for Sunday.

JPMorgan, America’s biggest bank, will “assume all deposits, including all uninsured deposits, and substantially all assets” of First Republic, according to a statement issued by the Californian regulator.

A group of 19 Republicans in Congress has drafted a joint letter to US President Joe Biden calling for an end to aid to Ukraine in the format it has so far, The Hill wrote.

“We are deeply concerned that support for the Ukrainian military threatens further escalation <…> We will strongly oppose all future aid packages unless they are linked to a clear diplomatic strategy to end the conflict as soon as possible,” the letter reads.

According to the congressmen, the Biden administration’s current strategy – constant aid and sanctions – is leading to “escalation and even more violence” and increasing the threat of a direct confrontation with Russia.

The Wall Street Journal reporter arrested in Russia on spying charges has met his lawyers for the first time since his arrest last week, according to the newspaper’s editor-in-chief.
