US-India 2+2: Crucial defense deal signed
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-54655947BBC Wrote:India and the US have signed a military agreement on sharing sensitive satellite data amid Delhi's tense border standoff with Beijing.
Access to such data is considered vital for hitting missiles, drones and other targets with precision.
The deal was announced after the annual "2+2" high-level talks in Delhi on Tuesday.
Well, Western powers can't let China take control of politics in Asia, right?
Protests take place across Italy over anti-virus measures
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54701042BBC Wrote:Clashes were reported in the northern cities such as Turin, where petrol bombs were thrown at officers.
In Milan tear gas was used to disperse protesters, and thousands of people gathered in the centre of Naples.
The demonstrations began soon after the national government's order to close restaurants, bars, gyms and cinemas came into effect at 18:00 local time.
Many regions have also imposed night-time curfews - including Lombardy, where Milan is, and Piedmont, where Turin is. The violence was blamed on extremist agitators and police said 28 people had been arrested in Milan alone.
Protests took place in about a dozen other cities, including Rome, Genoa, Palermo and Trieste. Taxi drivers occupied a central square in Turin while restaurant owners beat pots and pans in the centre of Cremona.
In Naples, a big crowd gathered in the central Piazza del Plebiscito, many calling on the regional governor to resign.
Take in consideration many business owners fear they will close permanently thanks to a second lockdown. Actually its economic forecast states Italy will shrink by 10% this year. Of course, criminals have found the perfect excuse to take home anything they always wanted.
Anyway how does the Italian government expect them to survive till November 24th?
Turkish lira sinks amid Erdogan fury with allies
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-54705617BBC Wrote:The Turkish lira has hit a record low of 8.15 against the dollar amid investor anxiety about the Turkish economy, hit by coronavirus and friction with Nato allies.How exactly did Erdogan expect Turkey's economy to survive if he refuses to take actions like making cuts?
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has riled France and the US among others.
Analysts attribute the weakening to concern about Turkish inflation - 11.7% last month - and the central bank's refusal to raise its key interest rate.
A rate rise could dampen inflation and encourage investors to buy lira.
President Erdogan's regional muscle-flexing - in Libya, Syria, around Cyprus and in the Caucasus - has disconcerted investors, market analysts say.
They only cared about wasting money in the military forces and seek for ways to steal resources from other nations.
Bolivian judge annuls Evo Morales's arrest warrant
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-latin-america-54705168Well, this show us how judges don't think committing fraud in the elections is a punishable crime in Bolivia. The accusation stated Morales may have committed sedition and terrorism, especially after nobody bought his story of having won the elections by a large margin.
BBC Wrote:Days later, the interior minister in the interim government, Arturo Murillo, alleged that Mr Morales had fomented unrest in the weeks following the disputed election.
Dozens of people died in clashes both between opposing political groups, and between protesters and the security forces.
Mr Murillo produced audio recordings which he said proved that Mr Morales had organised roadblocks which prevented food from reaching some of Bolivia's main cities.
Hong Kong activist Tony Chung detained near US consulate
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-54706635BBC Wrote:A Hong Kong activist has been detained by plain-clothed police officers near the US consulate.
Tony Chung had planned to enter the consulate on Tuesday and claim asylum, the UK-based activist group Friends of Hong Kong said.
He was arrested along with two other former members of a student pro-independence group.
Mr Chung, 19, was the first public figure arrested under a controversial new national security law in July.
Mr. Chung Wrote:Beijing is winning at this stage now.
With the imposed national security law, pro-independence activists are leaving Hong Kong. Protesters are afraid to chant political slogans.
At the right moment, we will come out to protest again.
Yes we lose at this moment. But the road to democracy is always long.
US + Taiwan + Xi Jinping's call for war
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-54655277BBC Wrote:The temperature was raised further last on 13 October when China's President Xi Jinping visited a People's Liberation Army (PLA) Marine Corp base in southern Guangdong province and told the marines there to "prepare for war".
In response some newspapers ran headlines suggesting an invasion is imminent.
Oriana Skylar Mastro, a China military analyst at Stanford University, says her wakeup call on Taiwan came when Xi Jinping forced through the abolition of presidential term limits in 2018, effectively making himself president for life.
Is Jinping really focused on preparing his army and navy and air force for war?
Professor Steve Tsang Wrote:Xi Jinping wants Taiwan back. And Xi Jinping wants to have Taiwan back before he hands over power to whoever comes next.
Why would the Chinese leader care so much about Taiwan?
BBC Wrote:Xi Jinping has stated publicly that Taiwan reunification is an "inevitable requirement for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese people". The timetable for completion of his "great rejuvenation" project is 2049, the 100th anniversary of the communist revolution. That is nearly 30 years away.
So he feels he has some sort of time limit after all.
Rapper Brian Trotter found dead in car after Florida highway crash
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-54714242BBC Wrote:US police have found the body of an aspiring rapper in the boot of a car after a crash on a highway in Miami.
Florida Highway Patrol officers discovered the body of 25-year-old hip-hop artist Brian Trotter after being called to the site of the collision.
The driver, 25-year-old Robert Deupree Avery Coltrain, has been arrested and charged with second-degree murder and illegal transport of human remains.
An autopsy showed Trotter was fatally shot multiple times.
Once again I gotta tell you that being a rapper might wind up killing the singer.
Or is there a mystery? Like why his so called friend took him there?
