    Labour vs Conservatives the UK Debate

    The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn dismissed the Prime Minister's pledge to "get Brexit done" by the end of January as "nonsense" while Mr Johnson suggested his rival was "not fit to lead our country".He just kept saying it. The NHS? “Get Brexit done.” Trust? “Get Brexit done.” Public spending? “Get Brexit done.” By the end the studio audience was groaning and Westminster hacks were claiming he had gone too far, but Boris Johnson knows that most viewers won’t have sat down to watch a whole hour A snap YouGov survey of 1,646 viewers conducted immediately after the debate shows a close split, with 51% of viewers saying that Boris Johnson performed best, once “don’t know” responses were removed, and 49% backing Jeremy Corbyn.

    Hoy, cuando el imperio de los EE.UU., en su desespero por echarle mano a nuestros recursos naturales, intensifica sus brutales agresiones contra la Patria, nos plantamos con firmeza para defender nuestra tierra y gritar con fuerza: ¡Yankee Go Home! ¡Somos Antiimperialistas!

    Putin Annual Press Conference in Moscow 2018

    As correspondents in the Kremlin--and Russia-watchers the world over--get ready each December for President Vladimir Putin's end-of-year news conference, there's one question they always ask: how long will it last? ForbesPresident Putin said he agreed with Trump's decision to pull 2,000 U.S. troops out of northern Syria where they have been helping to fight the Islamic State group extremists because "I don't think they're needed. Let's not forget that the presence of (U.S.) troops there is illegitimate. The U.S. is there without backing from the United Nations or an invitation from the Syrian government. Russia is there at the invitation of the Syrian government. But if the U.S. has decided to withdraw, that's good," he said.USATodayраво задать первый вопрос Путину его пресс-секретарь Дмитрий Песков предоставил старейшему российскому информационному агентству ТАСС, которое в 2019 году отметит 115-летие.На эту тему"Пусть потом не пищат": главные высказывания Владимира Путина о внешней политикеВсего из 1700 с небольшим аккредитованных на пресс-конференцию журналистов к президенту смог обратиться лишь каждый тридцатый. Это представители 21 федерального СМИ, 23 - региональных и девяти - иностранных, 29 мужчин и 24 женщины. Еще перед началом пресс-конференции журналисты, по опыту прогнозируя такую высокую конкуренцию, старались не задерживаться ни в бесплатном буфете, ни у сувенирной лавки, а занимали очереди для входа в зал еще за три часа до TASS TCC

    Emmanuel Macron and the Yellow Vests (gilets jaunes) Protests

    Christine Poumailloux, a shopkeeper struggling to make ends meet in this fading industrial town, nourished a deep dislike for Emmanuel Macron as the former investment banker advocated a free-market overhaul of France and then catapulted to the presidency.Finally, a movement emerged to channel her anger: the gilets jaunes, or yellow vests. This month, the 58-year-old mother of two was dodging tear gas and stun grenades in her yellow vest near the Arc de Triomphe in protests that shook the nation.“I’ve never protested before in my life,” Ms. Poumailloux said. “Since Macron is there, the anger has been rising, rising, rising.”WSJUn « tournant social » du quinquennat ? Pas en mettant le patronat à contribution, en tout cas. Car les mesures annoncées écartent soigneusement toute contribution directe des entreprises. « C’est d’abord l’état d’urgence économique et social que je veux décréter aujourd’hui. » En annonçant que le salaire des travailleurs au Smic augmenterait de « 100 euros par mois dès 2019 », il est loin de se montrer à la hauteur des attentes formulées sur les ronds-points. Emmanuel Macron ne compte en effet pas donner de coup de pouce au Smic comme espéré, mais augmenter la prime d’activité, une aide sociale qui n’alourdira pas la facture pour les employeurs.

    The Trump-Kim Summit

    According to a White House statement, the discussion between the United States and North Korea have "moved more quickly than expected".The statement added that President Donald Trump will have a press briefing tomorrow after the summit and leave for the United States at 8pm.随着当局将美朝峰会列为“加强保安特别活动”,峰会相关场地及周边地区已相应划为“加强保安特别活动”区,包括圣淘沙的西南部水域。为确保公众的安全,警方在这些区域采取严格的安保措施。North Korean leader Kim Jong Un is scheduled to depart Singapore at 2 pm local time on Tuesday (June 12), a source who is involved in the planning of his visit to the city-state for a summit with US President Donald Trump said on Sunday (June 10).

    International Women's Day 2018

    Women across Spain are taking part in an unprecedented strike aimed at demanding effective equality between men and women. The leading unions said that 5.3 million people had followed the two-hour workplace walkouts throughout the morning.While 170 countries are planning public protests on March 8, International Women’s Day, Spain is the only one to be staging a general strike backed by the unions.International Women’s Day 2018 comes in the midst of a tumultuous time. The current White House administration under Donald Trump continues to attack the rights of workers, women, people of color, immigrants, and other marginalized communities. The first woman appointed to the U.S. cabinet, and the longest person to hold the position of U.S. Secretary of Labor, Frances Perkins, is just such a woman. People's WorldIn the era of #MeToo and Time’s Up, International Women’s Day there was a keen awareness of a major shift in the firmament when it came to gender parity, the treatment of women in the workplace and sexual dynamics.But for most scratching out lives in developing countries in Africa, toiling away at jobs with little pay in Latin America or scrambling to raise children without help in the Middle East — most likely had little time left over to reflect on the day designated to celebrate “the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women,” New York Times

    America First at the World Economic Forum

    Dr Klaus Schwab called in a Swiss marching band dating back to the Napoleonic era 214 years ago to serve up a fanfare-like welcome before his speech. The rare, if not unprecedented, performance by the "Landwehr of Fribourg" band at the Davos gathering of academics, executives, officials and other elites drew a puzzled if not hostile reception from some in the capacity crowd of around 1,500 on hand for Trump's highly anticipated address to the WEF on Friday.Wearing feather-tipped hats and long-tailed jackets as part of their red-and-blue uniforms, the 37-member ensemble belted out "The Coburger March" by Michael Hadyn, as Trump stood calmly for the 3-1/2 minute rendition.e Nobel prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz, a Davos regular and frequent Trump critic."Almost anybody who has been coming to Davos as long as I have couldn't help but notice," he said. "I've seen presidents, prime ministers: Never before have I seen the kind of military band that we had today.""You saw him (Trump) preen as the band was there," Stiglitz added. "It was totally inappropriate for this setting. And so, it sort of gives a flavor of an imperial presidency, which is doing well for the one-tenth of one-percent, but not for the vast majority of Americans."

    President Mnangagwa Sworn In

    The business community is ready to work with the new government in the revival of the economy and looks forward to progressive and competitive policies that attract local and foreign direct investment.Local businessman, Mr Luxon Zembe said there is an opportunity for a restart as evidenced by the global community, including Britain, pledging to support the new government.Incoming President, Cde Emmerson Mnangagwa is said to be pro-business, an element that will enable firms and the government to focus on addressing currency issues, corruption and lack of fiscal discipline, an industrialist, Mrs Marah Hativagone.The industrial index marginally dropped on trading this Wednesday despite renewed interests by investors on the market.Trading on the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange (ZSE) was characterised by limited trading volumes, resulting in the mainstream industrial index shedding 5,07 percent to 329,63 points, while the mining index remained unchanged at 129,82 points.

    The People of China Welcome President Trump

    China and the United States should be partners, not rivals, and together they could be good for each other and the whole world, Chinese President Xi Jinping said Thursday.When hosting a dinner at the Great Hall of the People for visiting U.S. President Donald Trump Thursday evening, Xi said, he believed that challenges of bilateral relations were limited but potential was limitless, and Trump agreed with him on this point."The two countries will be able to open a new page of bilateral ties and make new contribution to the future of all humankind once they pursue it firmly and persistently," Xi said."China and the United States now have developed into a community of deeply intertwined and shared interests," Xi said.

    Mr Trump Meets Mr Moon

    Mr Trump and Mr Moon reiterated their call for the North to denuclearise, with Mr Trump saying it "makes sense for North Korea to come to the table", and to "do the right thing, not only for North Korea but for humanity all over the world".BBCThough the US had deployed a significant military presence in the region, he said he "hoped to God" he would not have to use it against North Korea.Perhaps Mr Trump believes that no hyperbolic threats should go unmatched or that apocalyptic warnings are the only ones the North Korean leadership will understand. Perhaps he - intentionally or not - is pursuing a Nixonian "madman" style foreign policy, where adversaries will tread lightly to avoid triggering the wrath of an unpredictable US commander-in-chief."When the leader of the world's greatest superpower, the only nation ever to have used nuclear weapons on an enemy, talks of unprecedented "fire and fury", however, those words have consequences.
