US Hints At Military Intervention Over China's Solomon Islands Military Fears

US State Department official Daniel Kritenbrink has said the US would “very naturally respond” to concerns from any future build-up of Chinese presence in the Indo-Pacific region after Beijing signed a security agreement with the Solomon Islands.

A US delegation was sent to the Solomon Islands - where it plans to open an embassy - where they were told by PM Manasseh Sogavare no military base would in fact be built by China in his country.

One regional advisor told the Guardian there are fears Sogavare will welcome a Chinese military presence to support his power.

Love Commandos / 2017
#India

Much like Romeo and Juliet, Indian couples who have married against their parent’s wishes often face violence or death. In some places in India, it still matters what caste you belong to. So much so - marrying outside your caste is considered a blow to your family’s reputation.

Star-crossed lovers dare to marry, and if they face revenge from angry relatives, volunteers from Love Commandos step in.

So who are these protectors of lovebirds?

Poland still buying Russian gas – Gazprom

Poland continues to buy Russian natural gas from Germany via reverse flows, after its direct supplies were suspended due to non-payment in rubles, Russia’s energy giant Gazprom has said.

Gazprom announced a complete halt of gas exports to Poland Wednesday in line with a new payment mechanism launched earlier this month. According to Gazprom, supplies will not resume until Warsaw complies with the new terms. Deliveries to Bulgaria were also halted, for the same reason.

Poland raised its bid for reverse gas supplies from Germany fivefold Wednesday, data from the German operator of the gas transmission network Gascade showed.

Taiwan WHO Status Bill Passes Congress 

Only President Biden’s signature is required to make a bill supporting Taiwan’s bid to have its WHO observer status restored was passed unanimously by the House of Representatives.

The legislation directs the Secretary of State to establish a strategy for Taipei’s return to the global health body, after it was stripped in 2017 and was unsuccessful in reapplying last year.

China has opposed Taiwan’s membership to global bodies as Beijing considers the island part of its territory, not an independent nation.
