Chinese man runs marathon while smoking cigarettes 🚬

The 50-year-old man, known as 'Uncle Chen', has an unusual habit. He likes to smoke while he runs. Once he even ran a 42-kilometer marathon while puffing on cigarettes. However, not everyone has been impressed by the Chinese man’s peculiar regimen. Some people accused him of harming the health of other competitors with secondhand smoke. Do you agree with the critics?

Another old man who lives in India also runs in an unusual way. Wishwanathan Jayaraman is able to run barefoot about 32 kilometers every day. He was inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s philosophy.

‘The main reason for going barefoot was economical. Every 500 kilometers you are supposed to change your shoes. The normal shoes would cost you about 5,000 Indian rupees’, says Jayaraman....

Effect Of EU Sanctions On Russia ‘Less Than Zero’ — MEP

The EU’s sanctions on Russia over the Ukraine conflict have been a complete failure, Belgian member of the European Parliament Guy Verhofstadt said. He added that the EU was only “rewarding” Russia by increasing imports from the country.

Writing on Twitter, Verhofstadt, who served as Belgian prime minister from 1999 to 2008 and has been an MEP since 2009, claimed that the effect of the EU’s nine packages of sanctions on Moscow “is less than 0.”

The former PM said that in the bloc’s attempts to punish Russia, it has achieved the opposite result. “We are rewarding Russia for its war against us!”

Germany Disrespects Poland Over World War II — Warsaw

Germany’s refusal to pay World War II reparations to Poland is a sign of double standards and disrespect to the Polish people, Arkadiusz Mularczyk, the secretary of state at the country’s foreign ministry, has said.

Poland is demanding $1.37 trillion from Berlin as compensation for the killings and destruction committed by Adolf Hitler’s troops during the German occupation that lasted between 1939 and 1945.
The German Foreign Ministry said on Tuesday that the issue of war damages “remains closed” and Berlin does not intend to renegotiate the matter. Mularczyk blasted Germany’s position as “false.”

RT speaks with Stevan Gajic, a professor at the Institute of European studies, about Warsaw's plan to address the UN for assistance.
