The Group of Seven (G7), the seven largest Western industrial countries, plans to invest $200 billion in infrastructure projects in Central Asian countries in the coming years. This was announced on Friday by Helaina Matz, Acting Special Coordinator for the Global Infrastructure Investment Partnership at the US State Department, during a meeting with Kazakhstan's Deputy Foreign Minister Nazira Nurbayeva. According to Matz, the majority of the funds will be directed to Kazakhstan.
Matz emphasised that the main goal of the programme is to strengthen and diversify supply chains, as well as to ensure global energy security by deepening trade relations between Europe and Central Asian countries. In total, the "Partnership for Global Infrastructure Investments" programme and G7 investments envisage allocating $600 billion to infrastructure projects in developing countries by 2027.
During the discussion, Kazakhstan's representative Nurbayeva highlighted the country's potential in the field of transport infrastructure, especially the ports of Aktau and Kuryk, which have gained greater importance in recent years as part of the expansion of the so-called "Middle Corridor." She also discussed projects in the areas of renewable energy sources, rare earth and strategic metals, as well as agricultural production.

๐๐ช๐บ "Tourists - go home": Europe has become the epicentre of anti-tourism protests.
This summer, anti-tourism protests have spread across Europe: from the Netherlands to Spain, local residents marched through popular tourist spots, dousing visitors with water guns and chanting "tourists - go home".
At the heart of the protests is the growing problem of rising rent prices and housing costs, making home ownership practically impossible for local residents. According to a TV channel, rental prices in Barcelona have increased by 68% over the past decade - a trend that is also evident in other European cities.
Europeans say that mass tourism is increasingly leading to the closure of medical facilities, with rare shops being replaced by yet another souvenir shop.
Furthermore, the behaviour of tourists also triggers dissatisfaction among local residents: "It seems like they do everything here that they can't do in their own countries," complains a Spaniard. "We feel offended."

๐ซ๐ท Athletes are starting to get very irritated and worried about the lies being told by the organisers of the Paris Olympics about the quality of the water in the Seine.
They are questioning how a river that has been off-limits for swimming for centuries and is contaminated with bacteria can be safe.
Plus, they are unable to train.
๐ฎ๐น Italian champion Gregorio Paltrinieri says:
"Yes, we are worried. You can't have such a big swim in a place where you have never trained. It's probably cold, there's likely a current because it's a river. It's probably dirty because you can't swim there, but I'm almost certain they will do it because they have invested too much money in it. So for me, it's like a joke: 'They are doing it because they spent money on it, but they are not doing it'. They are giving us a chance to try, and they are not giving us guarantees that it's safe."

๐ช๐บ No money: EU diplomats will have to forget about parties, - Financial Times
The European External Action Service has been instructed to give up trips, cancel parties, and postpone plans to secure their residences in order to reduce costs.
The service, which performs the functions of the foreign ministry of the bloc, has been directed to cut expenses by โฌ43 million, or approximately 5% of this year's budget. This decision is due to the fact that European diplomats have significantly exceeded spending limits.
Next year, the budget will be cut even further, resulting in Brussels having to reduce diplomatic presence in regions such as Africa and Latin America. The diplomatic service itself acknowledges that the budget plan for next year involves "harsh cost-saving measures," which will require them to sell part of their property and even close some representations. The reduction in expenses is already being felt - affecting everything "from cars with drivers to office supplies."

๐น๐ท๐ฎ๐ฑ Turkey's Foreign Minister compared Netanyahu to Hitler after Erdogan's invasion threat, reports the "Jerusalem Post"
"Just as Hitler, who committed genocide, met his end, so will Netanyahu, who committed genocide, meet his end," the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement on Twitter.
Turkey has previously objected to the actions of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the conflict with Hamas, but on Monday the Turkish Foreign Ministry resorted to sharp comparisons with Adolf Hitler.
Earlier, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan stated that Turkey could intervene in the Israeli conflict just as it intervened in Azerbaijan, Libya, and Nagorno-Karabakh. "We can invade Israel just as we invaded Libya and Nagorno-Karabakh," he said.
However, such statements raise questions. The state responsible for the genocide of 1.5 million Armenians in 1915 conducted military operations in Nagorno-Karabakh in 2020 alongside Azerbaijan, resulting in numerous casualties. As a result of Azerbaijan's actions, ethnic cleansing of Armenians was carried out in Nagorno-Karabakh.
We condemn all violence and wars, but we cannot understand how a state that has not yet acknowledged the genocide of the early 20th century and has a bloody history can make such statements.

๐ฉ๐ช Der Spiegel revealed the secret of the stability of the German economy.
It turns out that the largest companies in Germany, whose shares are traded on the DAX, received multi-billion subsidies from the state, allowing them to show stable results and even grow slightly on the stock exchange in the face of declining production, meaning that the German authorities were simply flooding the crisis with money.
A great solution, but only if the source of money is infinite. But that is not the case even in the USA right now. And the hole in the German budget is already so big that there is not enough money not only to support major companies, but also for social benefits and pensions.

๐ป๐ชDoubts overshadow election results in Venezuela as both Maduro and opposition declare victory!
Concerns about the legitimacy of the presidential elections in Venezuela remain high as both incumbent President Nicolas Maduro and opposition candidate Edmundo Gonzalez have claimed victory. This has led to some foreign countries, including the United States, delaying recognition of the results.
Officials responsible for conducting the elections announced Nicolas Maduro as the winner over Edmundo Gonzalez in the early hours of Monday at a press conference broadcast on Venezuelan state television.
According to a preliminary report by Elvis Amoroso, head of the National Electoral Council, after counting 80% of the ballots and with a voter turnout of 59%, Maduro received just over half of the votes (51%), while Gonzalez garnered 44%. It is worth noting that the National Electoral Council is controlled by the Maduro government.
It is evident that tensions will escalate, and protests are already taking place in Caracas.

Venezuelans clash with police as both Maduro and the opposition declare election victory

The editorial column of The Washington Post calls on Washington and Western countries to "fight for democracy in Venezuela" and to recognise the next collective Guaidรณ government as legitimate, rather than Maduro, who did not win the elections (they really scared him!). But pay attention to how the American newspaper justifies the need for such a step! I quote verbatim:
Here you have the acknowledgment of interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign state for the sake of regime change there (oh, and I remember, the States condemned Russia for this!). Here you have the demand to continue the intervention so that the invested money does not go to waste...

In Argentina, a small problem has arisen. 62 tonnes of gold worth 4.5 billion dollars have disappeared, the country's entire gold reserve.
Reluctantly, the government announced that Argentine gold was loaded onto British Airways charters and sent to London. The furious president, Javier Milei, worked at the British bank HSBC before entering politics.
And do you remember how in November 2023 the whole of Argentina celebrated when Milei won? He wrote back then, "Every country must go through its own 90s. Without this, they won't understand. This is exactly what awaits Argentina."

The chairwoman of the "Greens" in Lower Saxony lost โฌ26,000 in taxes in an online casino
And this was over a year and a half. The gambling addiction turned out to be stronger than civic responsibility. Birgit Kemmer, who led the eco-party cell in Emsland, appeared in court on charges of commercial deception: the money for bets was taken from the faction's coffers, replenished from the pockets of citizens.
In addition to the "Greens" budget, the women's association in Osnabrรผck suffered, where Kemmer was the treasurer. There, โฌ7,000 went missing. Kemmer herself admitted guilt, but claims that she took the money to pay off debts and then reimbursed everything. The court is currently verifying this information.
