1st smart move since SMO started, many more to comeSounds like European trucks are banned but Chinese trucks carrying European cargo should be ok
"An attack by armed separatists on a police station in a southeastern city has killed 19 people, including four members of Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.Iran internal turmoil intensifying. Gunmen killed 19 government troops and police including the Head of Intelligence for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC).
Maybe so. However, personally I don't think it's a coincidence that a IRGC commander is killed while the unrest is happening and Iran strikes Kurdish groups in northern Iraq with ballistic missiles. All this happening after Iran's public military support of Russia and the big SCO meeting."An attack by armed separatists on a police station in a southeastern city has killed 19 people, including four members of Iran’s elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
The assailants in Friday’s attack hid among worshippers near a mosque in the city of Zahedan, capital of Sistan-Baluchestan province, and then stormed the nearby police station...."
Isn't this more about long-running Balochistan insurgency in Iran and its neighbour Pakistan, than anything to do with in the rest of Iran? Though I can see that violence in the Iranian province of Sistan and Baluchestan may well have been triggered to coincide with disturbances in the rest of the country.
If we recall ,earlier this year, a Baloch female suicide bomber killed three Chinese nationals who had been teaching in a Confucius Institute language learning centre in Pakistan.
Speaking to the Financial Times, ECMWF Director-General Florence Rabier said that early data suggest that in November and December Western Europe may face a period of high pressure. This, she noted, may bring in colder weather with less wind and rainfall, which may reduce the amount of power generated by renewable power sources.
Scientists warn of cold winter in Europe
There will also be less wind and rainfall – a setback for alternative power sources – a weather tracker says
European countries may be about to face a colder than usual winter, the head of the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) predicted on Sunday. This forecast comes as the continent is struggling with an energy crunch spurred by the sanctions the West has slapped on Russia over the Ukraine conflict.
Speaking to the Financial Times, ECMWF Director-General Florence Rabier said that early data suggest that in November and December Western Europe may face a period of high pressure. This, she noted, may bring in colder weather with less wind and rainfall, which may reduce the amount of power generated by renewable power sources.
“If we have this pattern then for the energy it is quite demanding because not only is it a bit colder but also you have less wind for wind power and less precipitation for hydro power,” Rabier told the outlet.
The ECMWF chief went on to say that while in the short term Europe may experience milder weather due to the recent hurricanes in the Atlantic, an atmospheric phenomenon called La Nina may bring in colder weather later on. This usually occurs due to periodic cooling of the Pacific Ocean, which triggers ripple effects on weather across the globe and can change wind and precipitation patterns.
It operates one of the largest supercomputer complexes in Europe and the world's largest archive of numerical weather prediction data.[1]
Besides the fact that China's own Walvax mRNA vaccine has been approved for emergency use in Indonesia, there is one more reason that China should not bother with the Moderna vaccine anymore: a new study indicates that their effectiveness turns negative after 150 days.I swear this guy is retarded. China has its own mRNA vaccines, one was just approved for use in Indonesia.
I guess CGTN is more skillful in their reporting, thus more persuasive and more "threatening" than their CCTV counterparts.News aside, I find it surprising that CGTN had its licence revoked in the UK, but CCTV, of all outlets, is allowed to operate there.
Germany is now very immigrant and outsourcing depended country that by itself make it a weak state. It should always act prudently in things that seem unimportant in first sight. now it will enjoy Arab hospitality and strength of dollar system.I have no idea if it will last that long if it does not gets its act together. Germany and other nations that decide to behave responsibility, sovereign and prudently towards Russia, China, etc. could help bring peace and prosperity to Eurasia. Sadly it seems that Germany under US control has no genuine interest to be a constructive, sovereign and prudent player in Europe or elsewhere.
Back in the days I complained that Merkel was essentially a US agent given her support of criminal US activities around the world. Now given the likes of US-agents like Scholz, BaerboCIA, Habeck, etc. I had no idea how good Germany had it under her leadership. I actually have to say that I miss her.
