The shadow defense minister says Canberra needs to arm itself amid Asia-Pacific tensions

Australia must acquire its own “sovereign” missiles with the help of the US and Britain in countering China, Shadow Defense Minister Andrew Hastie has said.

“The strategic outlook is very bleak. It’s being driven by a rising China with both revisionist and expansionist ambitions,” Hastie, who served as deputy defense minister from 2020 to May 2022, told ABC on Sunday.

The US president is committing a “huge crime” by fueling the conflict in Ukraine, the rock legend told CNN

Waters sat down with CNN’s Michael Smerconish to discuss, in particular, the political views that the rock legend hasn’t shied away from displaying in his new concert tour ‘This Is Not A Drill’, which features a montage of alleged “war criminals,” including a picture of Joe Biden with the caption “...

Pink Floyd co-founder rocks Western perceptions on Ukraine & Taiwan

Roger Waters gave CNN's Michael Smerconish a dressing down on his knowledge of world affairs. First he blew apart lazy perceptions about the conflict in Ukraine and framed it as, 'What if this was America's border.'

Waters highlights the need to understand why war breaks out, saying NATO and its allies pushed towards Russia's border after agreeing it wouldn't. He then tells Smerconish that he needs to read more about China.

On his recent tour, "This is not a drill," Waters mixed in performance with some 'preaching.' During the show he displayed a "War Criminals" montage with a picture of Joe Biden saying, "Just getting started."

Germans urged to cut gas consumption by 20%

Germans should cut energy consumption by at least 20% to avoid gas shortages this coming winter, Klaus Mueller, the head of Germany’s federal regulator for gas and power networks, has told Welt am Sonntag newspaper.

“Consumers have to save at least 20% – so much more than before… there is already a risk of a gas shortage in December or we will have low storage levels at the end of the coming heating period,” the Federal Network Agency chief stated in an interview published on Saturday.

Mueller said Germany should also cut its gas exports to neighboring countries by 20%, and import 10 to 15 gigawatt-hours of gas to avoid shortages.
