🇫🇷🟢 Green Energy Shunned Again As France Fears Energy Shortages

France’s two remaining coal-fired power stations will be kept burning over the winter over worries that energy could be in short supply and 'sustainable' energy won't fill the gap.

As a "precaution" for the coming winter, "we are taking all measures to ensure French electricity production," the government said.

The move means pleans to close the entire French fleet of four coal-fired plants before 2022 - a promise President Emmanuel Macron made in 2017 - will again be delayed.

🇦🇹 Decapitated Man Is Latest In Wave Of Homeless Murders In Vienna

The rotted corpse of a homeless man was discovered in a 50cm hollow by a friend who went to visit him in the dense brush on the edge of the Wienerberg recreation area, with the victim’s head a few metres away with a coin-sized hole made inside.

Despite the body having been ravaged by wildlife, authorities are sure the man’s death was not an accident, as the skull injury “indicates a massive use of force,” the police said.

The discovery is the third homeless killing this summer alone, with a Hungarian man found stabbed to death on a park bench, and a man killed in Josefstadt. Other street sleepers have been attacked, but survived. The police are offering 10,000 for tips.

👎 Beware Of Fakes: A Video Is Circulating Claiming To Be From The BBC And Reporting That Prigozhin's Death Was Staged

This is a fake. Firstly, note the relatively poor cuts between videos. Secondly, there are a number of grammatical and vocabulary errors, as well as poor style.

❌ - 'A Kremlin staging' - This is not correct English - "was staged by the Kremlin"

❌ - 'BBC source denies information about the death' - No article - "A BBC source denies reports of the death" or "BBC sources deny"

❌ - "of the owner of" - Poor wording.

❌ - 'a staging of the Russian authorities' - WRONG - "was staged by Russian authorities"

❌ - 'Mystification of death is part of...' - No English speaker would write like this - "The cover-up was part of... an agreement"

❌ - 'agreements with Putin, which were made' - Defining relative clause needed - agreements with Putin which" (no comma).

❌ - 'in the Kremlin' - Wrong preposition - "at the Kremlin"

❌ - 'information was confirmed' - Article - "the information"

❌ - 'leave the information field" - Vocabulary error, this hardly makes sense and is unnatural.

Also, the words are broken up in an unnatural way, making it harder for English speakers to digest.

We know the BBC are bad, but they're not THAT illiterate.

Nice try, Ukraine, but you need a few more free English lessons. 👎

🇮🇹Meloni’s Partner In Hot Water For Rape Comments

The PM’s partner and Rete 4 journalist Andrea Giambruno has caused outrage with his comments about recent rape incidents in Palermo and Naples.

“If you go dancing, you have every right to get drunk - there must be no kind of misunderstanding and no kind of stumbling block - but if you avoid getting drunk and losing your senses, maybe you also avoid running into certain problems because you don’t find ‘the wolf.” he said on live TV.

“Meloni distances herself from these words which insinuate that sometimes it is also the ‘fault’ of women. It is unacceptable,” wrote Chiara Braga, leader of the Chamber of Deputies.

🇺🇦 Zelensky's Mobilisation Unconstitutional, Court Rules

The district court of the Poltava region acquitted people accused of evading mobilisation because the decree was not issued legally, local media reports.

“The so-called laws and presidential decrees, including those on mobilization, which are legitimized under the guise of laws have no constitutional subsoil, are not laws in essence, and are not binding on the people,” the court ruled.

Well, Zelly, if you want something done, do it yourself.

🇩🇪🔽Green Policies Sends ‘Sick Man Of Europe’ Towards Recession

Berlin’s energy policies have the economy teetering on the brink of recession as once one of the world’s strongest becomes the worst performing of any leading nation in the world, according to IMF stats.

“Unfortunately, 2023 will be a year of recession,” opposition leader Fredrich Merz told Bild am Sonntag. “If the insane amount of bureaucracy isn’t stopped soon, if energy prices don’t fall quickly, then 2024 won’t be a good year either.”

The populist leader vowed to “lower the tax and levy burden on energy”, “immediately reconnect decommissioned nuclear power plants to the grid”, and “adopt a moratorium on bureaucracy,” a move supported by some as a recent poll found 73% of Germans are unhappy with the current coalition government.

🇱🇹🇷🇺Dad Takes Daughter Home, Lithuania Claims Kidnap

A Russian-Lithuanian dual national who took his newly-born daughter to Kaliningrad in Russia after crossing the border has sparked Vilnius into action who now consider the incident a “child abduction.”

Authorities are upset that the man took the child to “an unfriendly country” - despite admitting he “has a dwelling of his own” and is “taking care of” his daughter there.

Border guards on the border have been criticised for not handling the situation properly.

Since when did family issues become so politicised?
