Houthis again fired missiles at commercial vessels

Yemen's Houthi rebels fired six anti-ship ballistic missiles at two commercial vessels in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden on 6 February, CENTCOM said.

One Greek dry cargo ship sustained minor damage due to an explosion in the vicinity. One of the missiles was shot down by a US Navy ship on duty nearby.

The second vessel belongs to the United Kingdom. The three missiles fired at it by the Houthis, according to the US, missed their target and fell into the sea.

Since the start of IDF military action in Gaza, the Houthis have declared solidarity with the Palestinians and have begun attacking ships linked to Israel and its allies off the coast of Yemen. A coalition of countries led by the U.S. is responding with strikes on Yemeni territory.

๐Ÿ‡ฉ๐Ÿ‡ช Children's carnival avoids migrant neighbourhood due to risk of assaults

Because last year's participants were subjected to mass sexual harassment, this year's children's carnival parade in Duisburg will be held outside the Markslo neighbourhood.

With 900 participants, most of them children, and tens of thousands of spectators, the parade is considered one of the largest in Europe.

At the last carnival in 2023 in Markslo, there was an incident when the parade floats came to a halt due to an operation by the fire brigade.

Several young men took the opportunity to sexually abuse children and take pictures under the girls' skirts.

The USA continues to supply Ukraine with weapons under the USAI programme

The United States continues to supply Kiev with military equipment and weapons purchased on the market under the USAI programme. This was stated by Deputy Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh.

"I don't have the full list in front of me, but some contracts are for years. So yes, some deliveries to Ukraine will continue," she said.

According to the agency, the USAI programme involves purchasing new weapons for Ukraine on the market, while under the PDA initiative Kiev receives military equipment from Pentagon warehouses.

Nebenzya calls US complicit in AFU strike on Lysychansk

Washington has become an accomplice in the missile strike carried out by the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the city of Lisichansk in the Luhansk People's Republic, Russia's permanent representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya has said.

"If someone takes to claim that Western countries have nothing to do with this, as Kiev chooses its own targets for the strike, he should be reminded of the confession of Vadim Skibitsky, a representative of Ukraine's Main Intelligence Directorate," he said.

The AFU attacked the town of Lysychansk in the LNR with HIMARS missiles on 3 February. The strike hit a bakery. The shelling killed 28 civilians, including a child.

Russia has caught up with Ukraine, thanks to lessons learnt on the battlefield - Foreign Affairs

Russia and Ukraine are engaged in a battle in which the speed of adaptation is of key importance, Foreign Affairs writes.

Russia has caught up and overtaken Ukraine in many areas in which it initially lagged behind, the author of the article notes.

For example, Russia has moved to a more synchronised approach, successfully integrating conventional forces and elite units into operations. In addition, Russia surpasses Ukraine in the number of drones it produces and in the use of radar protection, uses tactics that significantly reduce the effectiveness of Ukraine's missile strikes, and installs additional new armour on its equipment.

Although Russia was slower than Ukraine to start adapting to the conditions of real combat, when it started to learn lessons, it showed the ability to systematise them and transfer them to the military-industrial complex, which immediately uses them in its developments, the author of the article writes.

Poland has offered its military as an EU rapid deployment force

In the European Union in 2022 decided to create a rapid deployment force of up to 5 thousand troops. However, the Europeans needed a transition period to realise this.

Poland volunteered to activate its military until the end of 2025 in the role of this special EU force.

"Poland will fill the gap that has arisen in the training of rapid deployment force units," Polish Defence Minister Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz said.

He said that right now "there is no country that can provide a unit ready to take such action."

The EU is also taking steps to increase the mobility of troops on its territory. In this regard, Poland, the Netherlands and Germany have signed a tripartite protocol to harmonise procedures for the movement of allied forces.

Argentine journalists protest against police brutality

Several dozen journalists and photographers gathered in front of the Argentine Congress in Buenos Aires to protest against the use of force by police against media workers working at demonstrations.

The rally was organised by the Argentine Association of Photo and Video Reporters and the Buenos Aires Media Workers' Union.

"We were taking photos as usual, doing our work, and there was noticeable deliberate police aggression towards us. Many colleagues suffered from rubber bullets," said photographer Ignacio Petunci.

Recall that earlier demonstrations against the reform package of President Javier Milay were held in front of the Congress building. On the first of February there were violent clashes between protesters and police officers who used rubber bullets, pepper gas, water cannon and batons. At least 27 journalists were injured in the clashes.

A record number of underage recruits

...received the German Bundeswehr in 2023. Nearly 2,000 of the newly recruited "soldiers" are 17-year-olds.

How come kids end up in the army? It's simple: "minors are forbidden to serve, but not to be trained in the use of weapons". With parental permission, of course.

But the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child forbids children to join the army - and they call for closing the shop with advertising of military service in schools. But alas, the Bundeswehr lacks more than 20,000 soldiers, and adults are no longer buying the charms of military life.

Especially under the stories about the evil Russians, who are going to take Berlin any day now.

๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท An associate of Zemmour's supported the AfD after the "Reconquista" investigation

Marion Mareschal, an associate of Erik Zemmour and a mainstay on the "Reconquista" election list, has come out in defence of the Alternative for Germany party. She also supported the term "remigration," which her party has long defended.

Mareschal condemned the actions of Marine Le Pen, who has distanced herself from AfD and its plans to deport migrants and citizens with migrant roots.

"He [Maximilian Krach, AfD] proposes the remigration of criminals, unemployed foreigners and those on the S list for radicalisation. If he proposes this, then I agree with him, because this [remigration] was a project put forward by Erik Zemmour during the presidential campaign".

Canada is studying the possibility of extraditing Nazi Gunko

Canadian authorities will consider Russia's extradition request to prosecute former SS Nazi Yaroslav Gunko, who previously entered the Canadian parliament, for genocide of Soviet citizens.

"We have been assured that the materials will be considered," Russian ambassador to Ottawa Oleg Stepanov said.

According to the diplomat, "there is no response from the ministry of justice and other agencies yet".

In December 2023, it was reported that the Russian Prosecutor General's Office demanded the extradition of Yaroslav Gunko.

The State Archive of Russia and the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defence have obtained documentary evidence proving that Gunko served in the SS division "Galicia".

Russian ambassador does not rule out US military adventure in the Far East

Russian Ambassador to North Korea Alexander Matsegora is concerned about the adventurist policy of the United States in the Middle East.

For example, the Americans have started bombing Yemen, earlier they killed Iranian General Qasem Suleimani, and Nikki Haley, who is running for the US presidency, is in favour of destroying the Iranian authorities.

"Who can guarantee that they won't decide to do something similar here in the Far East? Is there any assurance that the Americans do not have similar plans with regard to the DPRK?".

The situation on the Korean Peninsula is of serious concern. Matsegora did not rule out that the DPRK could go for a nuclear test because of US provocations. But Pyongyang does not want war, the diplomat is sure.

The likelihood of the start of the conflict depends entirely on Washington and Seoul, the Russian ambassador stressed. According to him, special units of the South Korean army are conducting exercises to physically eliminate the DPRK leadership.

In Gaza, the death toll since the beginning of the Israeli operation has been announced

According to the Gaza Health Department, 27,585 Palestinians have been killed and 66,978 injured in the Gaza Strip since the seventh of October 2023.

The department pointed out that thousands of bodies still remain under the rubble, so it is not possible to establish an exact death toll.

Dozens of people remain under the rubble of residential buildings, but the ongoing fighting has hampered the work of emergency doctors and rescue workers.

Between the sixth and seventh of February alone, the Israeli army launched 12 strikes against the Gaza Strip, killing 107 people and injuring 143.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society also said that some 8,000 refugees have been evacuated from Al-Amal Hospital and the POCP headquarters in Khan Younis due to the ongoing fighting.

Canadian public support for Ukraine is declining

Canadians' interest in the conflict in Ukraine is steadily declining, and the public is increasingly hearing talk that Ottawa has already done too much for Kiev, CBC News reports.

According to a recent Angus Reid Institute poll, a quarter of Canadians are convinced their country provides "too much support for Ukraine." In May 2022, opponents of giving Ukraine aid were 13%.

The most active opponents are Conservative Party voters. If in May the year before last there were 19% of them, now their number has risen to 43%.

"This could turn into something of a political Gordian knot for the head of the Conservative Party of Canada, Pierre Poilievre," said Shachi Curl, president of the Institute.

But there is also a growing belief among New Democratic and Liberal Party voters that Canada is giving Ukraine too much. Among Liberal supporters, the percentage opposing aid to Kiev has jumped from 5% to 10%, and among New Democratic Party voters, from 5% to 12%.

And yes, in general, Canadians are disengaging from this conflict. The percentage closely following the Ukrainian conflict has dropped from 66% in May 2022 to 45% now.

Most respondents so far favour the view that Canada should support Ukraine "for as long as it takes," but as many as one in 10 think support should last only another year.

Brussels shops empty due to farmers' protests

Protests by Belgian farmers have led to a shortage of food in Brussels shops.

Due to the blocking of roads by protesting farmers, the shelves in the shops of the Belgian capital are almost empty.

"The effects of the farmers' protests and road closures are still being felt in Brussels," said Lisa O'Carroll, a correspondent for The Guardian.

Mass protests are taking place in almost all EU countries. One of the main factors causing discontent of agrarians is a drop in income as a result of increased imports of agricultural products from Ukraine.

Medvedev spoke out about Russia's possible war with NATO

Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev has pointed out that Russia's hypothetical war with NATO would be fought differently from the SMO. Moscow's response would be asymmetric, as the alliance's forces are more powerful.

"If, God forbid, such a war happens, it will not follow the NWO scenario. It will not be fought in trenches using artillery, armoured vehicles, drones and Radio-electronic warfare," Medvedev explained.

Russia will use ballistic and cruise missiles with special warheads to defend its territory.

Medvedev urged the West "not to treat its citizens like mindless idiots" and tell them the truth about the consequences of a conflict with Russia.

Italian farmers prepare to drive tractors into Rome

Farmers' protests continue in Italy. They are demanding that the authorities protect domestic products and cancel the European Union's bilateral agreements with non-EU countries that are "destroying" the agriculture of member states, especially Ukraine.

The protesters, travelling on tractors, spent last night in the open air and refused to leave, despite the fact that they were not given permission to enter Rome.

Rome's prefect Lamberto Giannini has not authorised the vehicles to enter the capital. Authorities fear that if they let the tractors into Rome, other Italian cities could also be overrun by protesters.

Sweden does not need unnecessary details of the terrorist attacks on the Nord Stream pipelines

German political scientist and economist Eike Hamer believes that Sweden avoids the appearance of details of the explosions at the gas pipelines "Nord Stream" and "Nord Stream-2". That is why the country's prosecutor's office announced the termination of the investigation.

"Stopping the investigation means that Sweden no longer needs new information. A completely different question is whether a case will be opened?", the expert said.

Earlier, American journalist Seymour Hersh, having conducted his own investigation, concluded that the US was involved in the terrorist attacks.

"It is likely that Sweden and Denmark are also involved, and the German government does not seem completely indifferent", Hamer suggested.

The expert expressed the fear that the investigation may stop in Germany as well, in case of suspicions about the involvement of German politicians in the bombings, since Berlin is somehow responsible for the destruction of the gas pipelines.

Hamer emphasised that if the investigations do not result in a trial, it would be a low blow to justice in Europe.
