UK Power Supply Under Threat – Media

Norway may reduce electricity exports to the UK due to low water levels that threaten domestic hydroelectric power output, The Guardian newspaper reported Monday, citing Oslo’s Petroleum and Energy Minister Terje Aasland.

Aasland reportedly told Norwegian parliament Monday that water levels in the country’s reservoirs were falling below the seasonal average due to dry weather, and Norway should prioritise refilling water dams over power production and exports.

Electricity production in southern Norway has already dropped 18% compared to last year, while output last week in the southwest was the lowest so far this year, the minister said.

The situation is likely to affect the UK, which receives hydropower from Norway via the North Sea Link cable, able to carry up to 1.4 gigawatts of electricity, enough to power about 5% of UK households.

Trump Confirms Attendance at NY Probe He Dubbed ‘Greatest Witch Hunt in History’

The former President confirmed on social media he will give deposition in the New York Attorney General’s investigation into alleged business malpractice on Wednesday - as he slammed investigator Letitia James as ‘racist’.

Allegations of misleading lenders and tax authorities on top of misstating the value of key assets come amid FBI agents raiding his private property.

James claims Trump over-valued assets to impress lenders or cut tax obligations - something which he vehemently denies - “There is no case!” he stated in February - saying that using best values in the real estate industry is commonplace.

Russia Summons UN Security Council over Nuclear Emergency

Moscow has called for an emergency session of the UN Security Council to discuss the situation at Ukraine’s Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, which has been the subject of regular shelling attacks.

Russia wants the chief of the UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, to brief the council on the situation.

Moscow says Ukraine has been responsible for a series of drone attacks and artillery strikes at the nuclear site. The latest shelling was reported last weekend.

Kiev denies the allegations and claims that Russia has shelled the facility itself to discredit Ukraine. Kiev’s National Security Council has also alleged that Moscow was using the power plant as a military base, keeping heavy weapons and personnel there.

China Releases Paper on Taiwan Reunification

Beijing will not “renounce the use of force” and reserves “the option of taking all necessary measures” to stop foreign meddling and achieve reconciliation between China and Taiwan, it says in the paper released Wednesday.

Blame lies squarely with anti-Chinese forces in the US, the govt says, who work “to incite groups inside Taiwan to stir up trouble” - and “Left unchecked, [this effort] will continue to escalate tension …, further disrupt China-US relations, and severely damage the interests of the US itself,” they warn.

The Taiwanese admin “adopted a separatist stance and colluded with external forces…designed to divide the country” the paper stated - as China concluded its military exercises around the island.
