Nepal's new prime minister visits victims of previous government's repression, life slowly returns to normal

Nepalese Prime Minister Sushila Kharki visited those injured in the riots that erupted in recent weeks as a result of corruption and repression by the previous government.

 

It was the prime minister's first event a day after taking office after her predecessor, KP Sharma Oli, was forced to resign. In the capital, Kathmandu, where life is slowly returning to normal, Karki visited several hospitals.

At least 51 people have been killed and hundreds injured in the unrest, the worst since the monarchy was abolished in 2008. Many Nepalis welcomed the appointment of Sushila Karki, who was also working on the composition of her government today.

The first woman to hold this position in Nepal was sworn in before President Ramchandra Paudel last night. Sushila Karki's interim government, a former Supreme Court judge, is tasked with ensuring a transitional period until elections scheduled for March 2026.

As soon as Karki took office, the head of state, on her recommendation, ordered the dissolution of parliament and set March 5, 2026 as the date for parliamentary elections. The dissolution of parliament was a demand of the young demonstrators who led the protests.

One of the new prime minister's tasks will be to restore order. For starters, it is to capture the 12,500 prisoners who took advantage of the unrest and escaped from prison.

Tramp: We will seek death penalty for every murder in Washington

President of the United States of America Donald Trump promised today that he would introduce the death penalty for every murder in Washington, even though it was abolished in 1981.

 

"If someone kills someone in our capital, Washington, we will seek the death penalty. And that is a strong deterrent", Trump said during a White House cabinet meeting. His administration will be able to seek the death penalty for federal murders, but not in local cases.

 

Trump is a supporter of the death penalty, and it is believed that he could change the current laws in Washington, which enjoys special status and whose affairs are overseen by Congress. In 1992, Congress imposed a referendum on reinstating the death penalty in Washington after the murder of one of his aides, which was rejected by two-thirds of the House.

At the beginning of his second term, Trump signed an executive order calling for the expansion of the use of the death penalty for the most serious crimes and ordering federal prosecutors to bring such charges more often.

The death penalty has been abolished in 23 US states, and three have imposed a moratorium on it. Three states, Arizona, Ohio, and Tennessee, have suspended the death penalty, but have also announced their intention to reinstate it.

Biden today withdrew from the campaign for re-election in the presidential election in November. In a letter on Platform X, Biden said he believes it is in the best interest of his party and the country to step down and focus solely on fulfilling his duties as president for the rest of his term.

The UN requested four billion dollars to help the population of Yemen

 

The United Nations and its partners have launched an appeal to raise $4 billion to fund aid needed this year for 18.2 million people in Yemen, a country devastated by nearly a decade of conflict.

 

In a statement, the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, Ocha, stated that $2.7 billion is needed for vital aid and $1.3 billion for sustainable development to support the millions of people in that country at war.

"In view of the critical needs, 219 humanitarian partners are calling for urgent assistance for more than 18.2 million women, girls, boys and men," the statement said.

 

The war in Yemen that began in 2014 between Iran-backed rebels and the Saudi-backed government has caused one of the world's worst humanitarian disasters.

According to non-governmental organizations, hundreds of thousands of people died in the war and millions were forced to flee from the fighting zones. More than three quarters of the population depends on international aid and millions of people are on the verge of starvation.

 

Yemen, which is the poorest country on the Arabian Peninsula, has been going through a fragile peace since the cease-fire that was reached with the mediation of the UN in April 2022 is in force. The truce expired in October last year, but it is still generally respected.

 

The UN estimated today that 17.6 million people will face extreme food insecurity in 2024 in a country where malnutrition rates are among the highest ever recorded.

"We must not turn our backs on the people of Yemen." I call on donors to continue providing emergency aid to save lives," said the humanitarian coordinator for Yemen, Peter Hawkins, according to the statement.

Putin revealed how NATO tried to deceive him, and exposed a big lie - They are already at our door

 

NATO, which in 1991 promised not to expand to the east, is already standing on Russia's borders, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting of the country's military leadership. 

They keep telling me: what are you afraid of now, we won't accept new members now. 

 

I say: Never mind now. What about tomorrow? 

 

 From the point of view of historical perspectives and strategic interests of the Russian state, even in 10, even in 15 years, this is unacceptable. The goal is clear - to bring Ukraine into NATO. In 1991 they said: not an inch to the east. And in the end they lied - they are already at our door - he declared.

 

The Russian leader reminded that at that moment there were proposals that were completely acceptable to everyone, but the alliance rejected them, as it sought to free itself from Russia.

 

They don't need a country like Russia - it's too big. It should be divided, subjugated part by part, just as Europe is being subjugated - said Vladimir Putin.

MARCON WITHOUT A WORD OF SELF-CRITICISM: Disappointment after the long-awaited public address of the French president

Without a single word of self-criticism, at a time when the opposition and a good part of the public consider him "disconnected from reality", French President Emmanuel Macron addressed the public yesterday, after the requested hundred days in order to calm the passions in the country, after the protest against the pension reform. In the meantime, riots broke out.

Many people were surprised by the fact that Marcon decided to address the public from Noumea, the capital of New Caledonia, which is located at a 9-hour time difference and over 16,000 kilometers from Paris. This was done on the occasion of the third referendum rejecting secession in the last five years.

Macron also used the opportunity to be in Noumea to mention the situation in the Indo-Pacific, which, as he pointed out, is a place of great tension, with the increasing presence of China and the US, and where France defends its interests, with a million and a half inhabitants and thousands of soldiers. As for New Caledonia, Macron welcomed the decision of the citizens of this region to remain in France, and said that he would simultaneously respect their cultural and historical peculiarities.

He also "stung" the opposition, recalling the estimates that he would not be able to get anywhere without beating the disaffected, which has stopped. In favor of his government, he mentioned the results in the legal framework on reindustrialization, attractiveness and creation of new jobs, in healthcare, developing green industry, increasing the number of teachers. When it comes to restoring order, he mentioned additional funds for the judiciary and a doubled budget for the military.

Regarding the re-election of the Prime Minister, Born said that it was "a choice of trust, continuity and efficiency". He also gave recognition to the Minister of the Interior, Gerald Darmanen, for the return of peace after the riots. He stated that 900 gendarmes and policemen were injured, but also said that no one is above the law when it comes to those against whom the process has been initiated.

- The results are here and we are making progress - said Macron.

The lesson he learned from the mess, he pointed out, is "order, order and order". He stated that the problems are that the difficulties have accumulated for decades in the same settlements.

- Our country needs the return of authority - said the head of state, saying that it must start with the family and the school.

He also mentioned the issue of social networks as a big problem.

- Many of the young people who participated in the riots organized themselves through them, even competed - said the French president and emphasized that the youth should be better protected from these influences.

Immigration is also one of the important issues that preoccupies the French public, and the head of state announced the upcoming law that he does not care to adopt "with constructive opposition", with the aim of reducing the entry of migrants, with the fight against illegal immigration and more effective integration of newcomers.

- We have to do a better job of protecting the common borders of the EU - said Macron.

He advocated for "control of the destiny of the nation over all the problems that appear in the world", and announced protection against inflation, tax reduction for the middle class and several billion euros in order to protect the climate.

Many French people are on annual vacations, summering at the sea, and thinking about nicer things, so the question arises as to how many of them have heard these messages, in anticipation of a hot autumn. The opposition has already clearly expressed its dissatisfaction with Macron's speech.

- There is absolutely nothing in this address, it is a great recognition - said the spokesman of the "National Gathering" and the vice-president of the Assembly, Sebastian Šeni.

The court banned the removal of homeless people from the streets of San Francisco

A US federal judge has temporarily banned San Francisco from removing homeless shelters, saying the city violated its own policy by failing to offer an alternative solution.

Judge Donna Ryu in the US District of Oakland issued an order barring the city from removing tents and confiscating belongings from people living in shelters, the "San Francisco Chronicle" reported.

The order followed a lawsuit filed by homeless advocates seeking to prevent San Francisco city officials from dismantling the encampments until they provide thousands of new beds, the AP reported.

Judge Ryu cited evidence from lawyers that the city, in violation of the law, did not shelter the homeless before it began removing the shelters and improperly confiscating or throwing away their belongings, including cellphones, medication and even prosthetic limbs.

The arguments of the city during the defense were "completely unconvincing", said the judge, according to AP.

The Minister of Economy and Vice Chancellor of Germany, Robert Habek, stated that the country is not yet ready for a complete embargo on Russian gas.

Habek added that Germany has set itself the goal of gradually becoming independent of Russian energy supplies. 

Ukraine should not be given false promises of EU membership

Commenting on Ukraine's request for membership in the European Union, the Minister said that the offer to that country to join the EU must not be false and that promises that cannot be fulfilled must not be made.

- In the past, Europe and the European Union made proposals that were not fulfilled. This must not happen again. It is important that the road to the European Union is organized so that it is fair and open, so that Ukraine can step on it and reach the end. It is necessary for the talks on the stages to be quick - said Habek and emphasized that those stages must be "achievable".

On February 28, the President of Ukraine, Vladimir Zelensky, signed the request for the country's accession to the European Union. The next day, the European Parliament supported a resolution granting Ukraine candidate status.

NEW DEFEATING EU ASSESSMENT: Nine million people are hungry in Ethiopia! (VIDEO)

A NEW DESTRUCTIVE EU ASSESSMENT: Ethiopia's new estimate of the World Food Program (WFP) shows that a record nine million people are suffering from acute hunger in three regions, affected by the conflicts in northern Ethiopia.

A United Nations survey conducted in Tigris before the outbreak of the conflict in November 2020 showed that 93% of the population has enough to eat. Now, 15 months later, the UN reports that 83% of the population suffers from food shortages, and almost 40% suffer from acute hunger.

The World Food Program states that 13 percent of children in that area are younger than five, as well as half of all pregnant and breastfeeding women are malnourished. WFP spokesman Thomson Feary says that the lack of proper nutrition leads to low body weight of the baby at birth, as well as developmental delays and death of the mother, Voice of America reports. He says that people who cannot feed themselves resort to extreme measures in order to survive.

"The diet is getting poorer as groceries become inaccessible and families rely almost exclusively on grains, while limiting portion sizes and meals, eating whatever is available every day to further expand their food," Firi said.

As the war in Tigray spread to northern Ethiopia, famine also spread to the neighboring regions of Amhara and Afar. Firi says the fighting and displacement caused by the conflict is raising the rate of hunger and malnutrition to dangerous levels in those regions.

 

"The WFP estimates that families affected by the crisis in northern Ethiopia have received less than 30 percent of their calorie needs on average in the last few months, which has pushed people even deeper into the crisis," Firi said. - It is expected that this permanent humanitarian aid in food will be mandatory at least during 2022.

Despite numerous challenges, WFP reports that since March it has managed to deliver food aid to nearly four million people across northern Ethiopia. However, intense fighting in the region has prevented food convoys from reaching Tigray since mid-December.

The WFP urges the warring parties to agree to a humanitarian break so that the agencies can safely transport food, medicine and other essential aid through the front lines, and adds that the lives, health and well-being of millions of civilians depend on it.

Sarkozy announced that he would appeal the verdict

Former French President Nicolas Sarkozy will appeal the verdict, which sentenced him to prison on Monday for corruption, said Sarkozy's defense attorney Jacqueline Lafon.

A court in Paris found Sarkozy guilty of corruption and trading in influence and sentenced him to one year in prison and another two years probation.

The defense attorney assessed the verdict as "extremely difficult" and "completely unfounded and unjustified". She added that Sarkozy was "calm but determined to prove his innocence."

Sarkozy, 66, who was president from 2007 to 2012, is awaiting another trial in the spring. He and 13 others will be tried on charges of illegally financing his 2007 presidential campaign.

Before Sarkozy, whose trial is considered a precedent in France, another president faced trial after leaving office - Jacques Chirac for embezzlement, but not during his presidency, but earlier, while he was mayor of Paris.

Biden gets Georgia too, Trump says "time will tell"

Biden cannot begin the transition of power because President Trump refuses to admit defeat

 

WASHINGTON - Newly elected President Joe Biden solidified his election victory by winning 16 electoral votes in Georgia, and earlier in Arizona. But the transition of power is still blocked due to the refusal of President Donald Trump to admit defeat. Trump is the projected winner in North Carolina.

At the White House event on Friday, where he spoke about the corona virus vaccine, Trump hinted for the first time that he could still leave the White House in January, with the message "that time will tell".

 

"Ideally, we should not go into quarantine. I will not do that, this administration will not do that. I hope - whatever happens in the future - who knows what the administration will be? I guess time will tell," Trump said.

Biden's victory in Arizona and Trump's victory in North Carolina were projected after more than a week of counting the votes after the November 3 elections. Biden is only the second Democratic presidential candidate to win the traditional Republican stronghold of the past seven decades.

Biden with Georgia has 306 electoral votes, and Trump 232. Biden was declared the winner of the election at the end of last week after he won the necessary 270 electoral votes. Although the votes will be counted manually again in Georgia, it is unlikely that the outcome of the election will be changed.

At the national level, Biden leads ahead of Trump with more than 5.3 million votes or 3.4 percent.

Trump refuses to admit defeat and claims without proof that he was robbed due to widespread election irregularities, but the courts rejected numerous lawsuits filed by his election headquarters, while election officials said that there were no major irregularities during the voting.

U.S. Vice President Mike Pence told young Republican supporters on Friday that Trump is still determined to take legal action in the hope that he will reverse the result.

"We will fight for the outcome of the election, which will give us another four years," Pence said.

In Michigan, which Biden won by 2.6 percent or more than 148,000 votes, two Republican state senators asked election officials to check the results before certifying them. They cited, among other things, a "malfunction" in the counting software, improper handling of ballots and obstacles faced by observers.

However, the Michigan state court on Friday rejected the request of Trump supporters to block the certification of votes in Detroit, where the majority of voters voted for Biden.

Federal officials in charge of election security said they found no evidence that any electoral system erased, lost or altered votes or that it was "threatened in any way."

States have until December 8 to certify the elections and elect electors for the Electoral College, which will officially elect a new president on December 14.

Due to Trump's refusal to admit defeat, the process of transition to the new administration is stalled. The General Affairs Directorate, which approves funding for the newly elected president, has not yet acknowledged Biden's victory.

Biden's team, however, continues to prepare for the transfer of power to the new administration. Biden's transition team official Jen Psaki said on Friday that national security experts would brief the newly elected president next week.

Psaki also stated that Biden talked with his associates about the candidates for the new cabinet and that he will continue to talk with the members of the Congress, including the Republican leader in the Senate, Mitch McConnell, about the new aid package due to the pandemic.

Ron Klein, who was chosen as Biden's future chief of staff, told the MSNBC cable network on Thursday that the key is to start the transition process now, given that the Biden administration will inherit the coronavirus vaccination campaign as soon as the newly elected president is inaugurated on January 20.

"The sooner our transition experts can meet with people planning vaccinations, the easier it will be to transition from Trump to the Biden administration," Klein said, announcing that "despite obstacles," Biden will sign decrees and pass on priorities. legislative proposals to Congress on the first day of taking office.

"He will be very busy on the first day," Klein said, adding that the return to the Paris Climate Agreement, the strengthening of Obamacare and the protection of the environment are issues that Biden will resolve on January 20.

Republicans divided

Biden will meet again with transition advisers on Friday as he plans to respond to the coronavirus pandemic and prepares to appoint cabinet members.

A majority of Republicans publicly supported Trump's right to try to legally challenge the election result and refused to recognize Biden as the winner. However, hints of divisions among Republicans began to emerge on Thursday.

Republican officials, such as the governors of Ohio and New Hampshire and Carl Rove, chief adviser to former President George W. Bush, said Biden should be treated as the newly elected president.

Meanwhile, some Republican senators stated that the Trump administration should enable Biden to receive confidential intelligence reports, although they did not directly call him the winner of the election.

The newly elected president usually receives daily intelligence reports to ensure that national security is not compromised during the transition.

However, Republican leader in the House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy opposed that, suggesting that Trump could still be the winner.

Democrats accuse Trump and Republicans of backing his claims of undermining institutions. Former President Barack Obama said in an interview for the CBS program "60 Minutes" that Republicans are moving on a "dangerous path" by supporting Trump's unfounded allegations of election theft.
