Lula Halts Privatization Of Brazil’s State Companies — Media

Brazil’s newly returned President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva has scrapped plans to sell off eight state-run corporate giants, including the oil company Petroleo Brasileiro, known as Petrobras, Brazilian news website G1 reported.

Lula, who was at the helm from 2003 through 2010, was sworn in as Brazil’s president on January 1. Imprisoned for graft in 2018, Lula's convictions were overturned in 2019, allowing him to defeat Jair Bolsonaro in October's election.

The decision to remove state corporations from the list of state asset sales was one of the first official acts by the left-wing politician.

French ‘Oscars’ Introduces Major Change

The French Cesar Academy, which hands out the nation’s most prestigious film award, has decided not to invite to its ceremony anyone who has been convicted of or even who is being charged with acts of violence, particularly in sex crimes.

In a statement, the academy said that, out of respect for victims, even presumed ones, “it has been decided not to highlight people who are either indicted on or sentenced for acts of violence, notably of a sexual or sexist nature.”

Such people “cannot be invited to the Ceremony, nor to any of the events associated with it and organized by the Cesar Academy,” the statement read, adding that “no one will be allowed to speak on their behalf” either.

German Defense Chief Slammed Over ‘Inappropriate’ Message On Ukraine

Germany’s defense minister, Christine Lambrecht, has been roundly criticized after publishing a New Year’s Eve greeting in which she touched upon the ongoing conflict in Ukraine against the backdrop of festive fireworks in Berlin. The message was broadly slammed as an “embarrassment” and prompted opposition politicians and some journalists to call for her resignation.

“A war is raging in the middle of Europe,” the minister says at one point, without even mentioning Russia or Ukraine. Lambrecht then goes on to say that over the past year she has had “many encounters with interesting and great people” and has received “many special impressions” in connection to the ongoing conflict. “I would like to say a heartfelt thank you for that,” she adds. 

A member of the Bundestag’s Defense Committee, Serap Guler, branded...

People Could Live On Moon By 2030 — NASA

A top NASA official has done his bit to ease surging anxiety over rising house prices, by suggesting that we might soon have more real estate to utilize.

Program manager Howard Hu, recently involved in the the Artemis lunar mission, has clamed that living on the Moon will ‘certainly’ happen this decade.

‘We are going to be sending people down to the surface, they are going to be living there on the surface and doing science,’ Hu said.

The Artemis program will see the eventual construction of the Lunar Gateway – a new space station where astronauts will be able to live and work. It doesn’t mention condos and a Starbucks yet, but we’re sure that part’s coming.
