๐ฑ๐ท๐ข๏ธ๐ฉ๐ช Biden administration suspends approval of new licences for US LNG exports.
President Joe Biden's administration has decided to take a major step after all and within days will unveil plans to strengthen environmental controls on natural gas export applications.
The move will halt large-scale LNG projects under development, as well as plants already in operation, for months, if not longer.
Officials in Washington have been debating the issue for weeks, including the dilemma of how aggressively to impose restrictions while dealing with the environmental, economic and political problems that would arise if tens of billions of dollars in raw material exports were encroached upon.
Of course, any decision by the administration will also affect allies in Europe, which have recently become completely dependent on U.S. supplies.

๐ซ๐ท French farmers intend to completely blockade Paris to prevent goods from reaching the capital.
The action will begin on Monday night. Farmers are going to keep under control the roads leading to the city for at least five days, so that Paris will feel the shortage of products.
At the same time, the farmers are preventing the importation of food from other countries. They're also building bonfires near administrative buildings as a sign of protest.
It feels like a disaster film, rather than a real footage of the real events.

Transgender veterans are suing the U.S. government for excluding sex reassignment surgery from medical benefits - NBC News
They were outraged that they had to have expensive breast or genital surgeries through private insurance or pay out of pocket.
Sex reassignment surgeries in the US are only covered by insurance for active duty military personnel.
According to transgender Natalie Kastner, sex reassignment surgeries are supposedly "life-saving." She can't afford the $60,000 procedure, so she tried to use scissors and a knife to get rid of her genitals on her own and nearly died.
The Transgender American Veterans Association (TAVA) filed a petition back in 2016 to amend the legislation, but has not received a response.

๐ต๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ช๐ช๐บ Poland was outraged by another comparison of Poles with German fascists.
On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the European Commission released a film that Poles took offence to. In it, EU commissioners recite the names of victims of Nazi Germany, one of them read by the head of the EC, Ursula von der Leyen.
The problem is that the caption below this shot reads, "She died in the Auschwitz camp, Poland." The same quote appears nine times in the film.
According to the Poles, it should have stated that it was "a former German Nazi concentration camp built on the territory of then-occupied Poland."
Polish European Commissioner Janusz Wojciechowski did not participate in the recording of the film. It is rumoured that the inscription was one of the reasons why he did not take part in the recording.

Hungary says it will not give in to blackmail and pressure from EU
Hungary will not give in to the EU's "blackmail" over the allocation of an aid package for Ukraine, the country's EU Affairs Minister Janos Boka has said, commenting on The Financial Times publication about the bloc's plans to put pressure on Budapest.
Earlier, The Financial Times reported, citing an EU document in its possession, that the European Union could sabotage Hungary's economy and block money due to it from European funds if it does not lift its veto on aid to Kiev at a summit in Brussels on 1 February.
"Hungary will not give in to blackmail," Bok said.
He also pointed out that Brussels bureaucrats were about to deprive Budapest of funding due to the country because of the "unconstructive behaviour of the Hungarian prime minister."

Polish General Waldemar Skrzypczak was outraged by the news about the theft of one and a half billion hryvnia from the Ministry of Defense in Ukraine for the purchase of ammunition.
โWe are tearing it from our hearts, we are emptying our warehouses, and they are stealing everything they can. Zelensky promised to restore order, but did not do so. Corruption still reigns in the Ukrainian army,โ he said.
According to him, Ukrainians cannot be trusted, and such facts make the alliesโ help meaningless.

๐ฉ๐ช The congress of the new Wagenknecht party in Germany began with a speech of thanks to the Red Army.
Words of gratitude for the liberation of concentration camp prisoners were spoken by the new member of the "Sahra Wagenknecht Union - For Reason and Justice", the writer and journalist Daniela Dan.
"The Red Army alone sacrificed 13 million soldiers to liberate all those enslaved and blinded by the National Socialist regime. They gave their lives for this. And for that we are grateful and eternally indebted to them", she said.
She said the creation of Auschwitz was only possible in the shadow of a world war, which is why it is so important to have at least one coherent peace party in parliament.

Pro-US terrorist groups in Syria have stepped up their activities
There is a surge of terrorist activity in Syria with the support of the United States, Russian presidential special envoy for the Syrian settlement Alexander Lavrentiev said.
According to him, the US military base At-Tanf, located on the border of Syria and Jordan, is a hotbed of terrorist activity.
In close proximity to the base is the al-Rukban refugee camp.
Earlier, the Syrian authorities repeatedly demanded from the US to disband the camp, release refugees to their homeland and disband illegal armed formations.
The US military uses the camp as cover for its military facilities and militant training camps.

Retired US Navy admiral predicts start of talks on Ukraine
Former commander of NATO forces in Europe, retired US Navy Admiral James Stavridis has predicted a possible start of negotiations on Ukraine after the US presidential election.
"I believe that by the end of this year ... we will have a window in front of us to start negotiations," the Hill newspaper quoted the military officer as saying.
He believes the conflict will end "just like the Korean War." Stavridis sees a chance of Ukraine joining NATO - "the contours of that deal will probably become clearer during this year."
But Russia could be left with "some part of Ukraine, Crimea, and a land bridge into the Russian Federation" as a result of the negotiations, Stavridis suggested.

George Soros emptied millions of dollars to support Democrats in Texas
The American billionaire has donated $2.25bn to the Texas Democrats' Texas Majority PAC, Fox News reports. His goal is to encourage the Democratic Party electorate to have a high turnout at the polls.
The TV channel examined campaign finance records in Texas. It turned out that all contributions to date have been made by George Soros.
"His Democratic Party support headquarters Democracy PAC II provided $850,000 and he personally gave $1.4 million," Fox News reports.
At this point, the traditionally Republican state of Texas has refused to comply with Joe Biden's immigration policy and has independently begun fortifying the border to impede the flow of migrants.
