This is the moment a swarm of teens storms a JD Sports store in London during another apparent shoplifting ‘link-up’

Young female staff members at the Ilford location tried to stop the group as they rushed up the escalator, dropping stolen clothes behind them

The workers are now being praised online for trying to stand their ground against the mob

Question remains, will the store punish them for standing up against the thugs

🚨🇸🇪🇫🇷 Sweden Chooses France for $4.2B Warship Deal

Sweden has selected France’s Naval Group for a $4.2 billion frigate program.
A major naval expansion move as Europe’s security environment continues to tighten.

Officials say the decision reflects a “very serious security situation” across the region.

The new FDI frigates will carry Aster 30 missiles and advanced NATO-integrated systems — significantly boosting Sweden’s maritime defense posture.

The first ship is expected by 2030, with deliveries planned in phases.
Another signal of accelerating European militarization amid rising Baltic tensions.

🚨🇺🇦 JUST IN: Ukraine Again Apologizes Over Drone Incidents in Baltic Airspace

Ukraine has once again issued an apology after reports of drones entering Baltic airspace.

The Ukrainian Foreign Ministry described the incidents as “unintentional” and urged calm with regional partners.

Estonian defense officials earlier reported intercepting a drone that allegedly crossed into its airspace via Latvia, triggering air-defense responses and local alerts across southern regions.

Kyiv says it is working to prevent further incidents as its drone operations targeting Russia continue near sensitive border air corridors.

The repeated occurrences are adding pressure to already fragile security dynamics across the Baltic region.

JUST IN: 🇷🇺🇨🇳 Russian President Putin arrives in China for a two-day visit.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has arrived in Beijing for a two-day state visit focused on deepening strategic cooperation with China.
Putin is expected to hold talks with President Xi Jinping on regional security, trade, investment, and global geopolitical issues.

The visit comes less than a week after Donald Trump’s trip to China — placing Beijing once again at the center of intensifying global power diplomacy.

Chinese officials say the China-Russia partnership will continue strengthening under the leadership of Xi and Putin.

Another sign of the accelerating shift toward a more multipolar world order.

Nikol Pashinyan lost his temper during a public agitation tour in Yerevan after a woman confronted him in the street and accused him of betraying Armenia and ruining future generations

The woman shouted that Pashinyan had ‘stolen her homeland’ and ‘destroyed an entire young generation of the nation,’ triggering a heated response from the prime minister in front of a crowd

Pashinyan fired back aggressively, telling the woman she should be grateful ‘they didn’t smash your head in the nearest restroom right now’

Pashinyan also attacked political opponents, calling the sons of former presidents Robert Kocharyan and Serzh Sargsyan, along with opposition figures Gagik Tsarukyan and Samvel Karapetyan, ‘defectors who fled the battlefield’

He also vowed to ‘destroy’ their fathers politically during the speech

🇨🇳🇺🇸 CHINA & US AGREE TO ESTABLISH TWO TRADE COUNCILS – A New Institutional Channel for Managing Tensions 🏛️

After years of tariff wars and market access disputes, Washington and Beijing have agreed to set up two joint trade and investment councils. The goal: address practical barriers – especially for agricultural products – and promote bilateral trade within a framework of reciprocal tariff reductions.

🏛️ Two councils – one for trade, one for investment – to follow up on practical issues hindering commerce.

🌾 Agricultural focus – conditions for entry of agricultural products will be a key agenda item.

📉 Reciprocal tariff reductions – a framework to de‑escalate the trade war through mutual cuts.

🇬🇧🇸🇦🇦🇪🇶🇦 UK & GULF STATES TO SIGN FREE TRADE DEAL – Ending 4 Years of Talks 📝

The United Kingdom and the six Gulf Cooperation Council nations are set to sign a free trade agreement in London on Wednesday. The deal will reduce tariffs on British car and food exports to the Gulf.

📊 Annual bilateral trade exceeds $53 billion.

🛢️ Talks were delayed by the Iran war – but have now reached an advanced stage.

🚗 The deal reflects a shared commitment to strategic partnership and sustainable development.

📌 The bottom line for the Global South:

While the US blocks and bombs, the UK and Gulf states deepen economic ties. The region is not waiting for Washington – it is building its own trade architecture.

The “Green Revolution” looks futuristic in ads… but the reality is a blood myth.

Western governments push net zero and electric cars while ignoring the dirty truth: lithium and cobalt mining in Africa, often under horrific 19th-century conditions.

🇷🇺🚨 “NATO’S NUCLEAR MOVES WILL NOT GO UNANSWERED” – Moscow Warns Over French Strategy ☢️

Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov: France’s “forward nuclear deterrence” plan – expanding its arsenal and deploying weapons to other European NATO states – will be met with a response from Russian military planners.

🇫🇷 Macron’s plan: Expand France’s nuclear arsenal and move weapons to allied European territory as “circumstantial deployments.”

⚠️ Ryabkov: “Paris’ false slogans about strengthening its allies’ security are leading to exactly the opposite.” Host nations will come under “closer scrutiny of our military responsible for strategic deterrence.”

🇵🇱🇫🇮 Context: France and Poland are planning joint exercises simulating nuclear strikes on Russia. Finland is moving to allow nuclear devices on its soil.

🔋🌍 THE "CLEAN" ENERGY LIE – What They’re Hiding in Africa

Your electric car is not “green.” It is built on a mountain of blood.

While Western consumers are told they are “saving the planet” with every battery purchase, the reality on the ground in Africa is a dark revival of colonial extraction: child miners as young as nine, working in toxic conditions for less than $1 a day.

The “critical minerals” powering your smartphone and EV come from hand‑dug pits, often guarded by armed groups and fuelled by extreme poverty.

This Think BRICS Chronicles documentary exposes:

🧒 Children mining your batteries – the “Zama Zama” workers.

⚖️ Tech giants sued – Tesla and others face legal action over child labour deaths.

🩸 The blood myth – the devastating health impact on local communities: heavy metal poisoning, birth defects.

Is a technology truly “green” if it’s built on violence and exploitation?

🇺🇸🇵🇸 TRUMP’S $70 BILLION GAZA PLAN IS ALREADY BROKEN – Donors Won’t Pay, Board Admits Funding Gap

💸 The US‑led “Board of Peace” has officially acknowledged a massive shortfall in Trump’s Gaza reconstruction plan. $70 billion promised. $17 billion pledged. Only a fraction actually delivered. Gaza remains in ruins – and donors are avoiding the Trump channel

🏚️ 85% of Gaza’s buildings and infrastructure destroyed – 70 million tonnes of rubble need to be removed.

💰 Pledges: $17 billion from member states – but only a fraction has been received.

🚫 Donors are reluctant to fund through Trump’s board due to “transparency concerns” – they prefer traditional UN channels.

📉 The board itself warns that the gap is “the difference between a framework that exists on paper and one that delivers tangible results… for the people of Gaza.”

🇭🇷🛑 CROATIA REFUSES ISRAEL’S AMBASSADOR – “No Public or Political Pressure Will Change This” 🇮🇱

President Zoran Milanović has drawn a line: he will not approve Israel’s new ambassador to Zagreb, citing disagreements with the policies of the current Israeli government. The presidential office said no pressure will alter the decision.

🗣️ Milanović has previously accused Israel of carrying out “bestial war crimes” in Gaza.

📜 Israel announced its proposed ambassador before receiving presidential consent – a departure from diplomatic norms, according to the presidential office.

🔁 The Israeli ambassador’s term ends in May; the diplomat will instead arrive as chargé d’affaires – a post not requiring presidential approval.

🏛️📉 BRICS CORPORATIONS: The Rules Were Written Against Them – And That’s Finally Changing

The multipolar battle isn’t just at the UN or in oil markets – it’s inside the boardrooms of Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa.

For decades, corporate governance rules were designed in London and New York – for Western ownership models. BRICS economies were forced to play by someone else’s rules.

This BRICS Business episode exposes:

⚖️ How independent director quotas became a narrative weapon to restrict capital flows

🏛️ Why state‑backed ownership structures clash with Anglo‑American governance models

📉 How Western rating agencies weaponise governance gaps to target BRICS

🇷🇺 Russia’s sanctions experiment – suspending Western corporate institutions

“The rules of the game were set against us. Now we’re changing them.”
