Lavrov spells out what would push Moscow to redraw front line in Ukraine
Western weapon supplies will spur Russia to push forward, foreign minister says The use of Western-supplied heavy weapons by Kiev will only force Russia to move deeper into Ukraine, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told RT and Sputnik on Wednesday. Lavrov told RT Editor-in-Chief, Margarita Simonyan that when negotiators met in Istanbul, Turkey on March 29-30, they were discussing "one geography," referring to the areas controlled by Russia and the forces of the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics (DPR and LPR). "Our willingness to accept Ukrainian suggestions was based on the geography as of the end of March, 2022," the minister noted.

Heatwave reduces efficiency of Europe's solar panels, generating power levels no better than springtime
The record-breaking heat wave in Europe doesn't mean record solar power generation, as extremely high temperatures actually reduce the efficiency of solar panels. As temperatures in the UK hit the highest-ever on record at over 40 degrees Celsius (104 F) this week, solar power output hasn't set records and is unlikely to do so amid very high temperatures, scientists say. On Tuesday, a provisional temperature of 40.3 C (104.54 F) was recorded at Coningsby in the UK, the UK's Met Office said, adding that it was the first time on record temperatures in the UK have exceeded 40°C. However, power output during the heat wave has dropped below the levels that are typically reached during the spring when there is sunshine, but temperatures are cooler.

Inflation protests erupt in Malawi, gov't bans broadcasting of demonstration, UK cuts aid
Riots have broken out in cities in Malawi as opposition groups protest against President Bingu wa Mutharika's government. At least one person has died in the northern city of Mzuzu and protesters are burning barricades and looting property in the capital. The authorities have banned live broadcasts of the riots.

Canada's 35% tax penalty on Russian fertilizer imports is a disaster for local farmers
According to the Le Devoir newspaper, Christian Overbeck, chairman of the grain producers' association of the Canadian province of Quebec, has complained that the duties imposed in March this year worsen the already difficult situation for farmers, who previously faced rising costs for fuel and equipment. «The cost of basic necessities has doubled or even tripled since 2021», - Overbeck said. The agricultural association, which includes grain producers' associations from Quebec, Ontario and Atlantic Canada, estimates that about 660 to 680 thousand tons of nitrogen fertilizer is imported from Russia in the country's three regions, representing 85 to 90% of all fertilizer of this type used.

Putin speaks to Saudi crown prince, leaders agree OPEC & allies should continue to work together to 'stabilize energy markets'
Russia's President Vladimir Putin discussed the situation in global oil markets with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in a phone call on Thursday. The two leaders praised the high level of "friendly" bilateral relations between the two nations and their cooperation within the OPEC group, the Kremlin said in a statement. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and allies such as Russia, which together comprise OPEC , are "consistently fulfilling their obligations" to keep the balance and stability in the global energy market, the two leaders said, according to the Kremlin. Last month, the group agreed to increase output by 648,000 barrels per day (bpd), or 0.7% of global demand, over July and August. The decision came as Western nations had been pressuring OPEC to address global energy shortages exacerbated by sanctions on Russia. The move, however, failed to drive oil prices lower at that time.

Russia moves to annex occupied Ukrainian land by September - reports
The Kremlin is in a dash to hold referendums in Ukrainian territories occupied by its troops to give grounds for President Vladimir Putin to absorb them into Russia as early as September, according to people familiar with the strategy. Officials are preparing to organize votes in areas currently controlled by the Russian military and any others its troops are able to seize in coming weeks, three people said, Bloomberg reported on July 21. The goal is to conduct referendums on joining Russia by September 15, two of the people said, asking not to be identified because the issue is sensitive.

We demand that NASA rename its homophobic James Webb Space Telescope. Now!!!!!
We have all been dazzled by the first images coming to us from the James Webb Space Telescope, whose deep infrared eyes are lighting up obscure corners of the universe in breathtaking colour and clarity. But it's time to stop being dazzled and to start being offended. James Webb may have served in the US Marine Corps, held a senior role at the State Department, and been appointed by President John F. Kennedy as Administrator of NASA during the heyday of the space race. What really matters, however, is that Webb lived in the homophobic 1950s and may even have been homophobic himself. Rumours of Communist infiltration of the American government during that era made the US fearful that homosexual employees could be blackmailed by the Soviets on the basis of their taboo lifestyle. This was known as the "Lavender Scare", and it led to the sacking of gay members of the civil service.

More than 150 comparative studies and articles on mask ineffectiveness and harms
It is not unreasonable to conclude that surgical and cloth masks, used as they currently are being used (without other forms of PPE protection), have no impact on controlling the transmission of Covid-19 virus. Current evidence implies that face masks can be actually harmful. The body of evidence indicates that face masks are largely ineffective. My focus is on COVID face masks and the prevailing science that we have had for nearly 20 months. Yet I wish to address this mask topic at a 50,000-foot level on the lockdown restrictive policies in general. I build on the backs of the fine work done by Gupta, Kulldorff, and Bhattacharya on the Great Barrington Declaration (GBD) and similar impetus by Dr. Scott Atlas (advisor to POTUS Trump) who, like myself, was a strong proponent for a focused type of protection that was based on an age-risk stratified approach.

Man saves 5 from house fire; jumps out window to save girl
An Indiana man who ran into a burning home and saved five people, including a 6-year-old girl he jumped out of a second-floor window with, says he's no hero and that the serious injuries he suffered were "all worth it." Nick Bostic, 25, of Lafayette, was driving early on July 11 in the northwestern Indiana city when he saw a house in flames. He stopped and ran inside to alert its residents. "I slammed on the brakes, I turned the steering wheel, I did a 180. I ran into the back of the house and I was yelling for anybody. Four faces, three or four faces, came out the top," he told WLFI-TV. An 18-year-old woman was in the home babysitting her three siblings, ages 1, 6 and 13, along with a 13-year-old friend of the 13-year-old sibling, while the four siblings' parents were out playing darts, The Washington Post reported.

President Trump's former Covid-19 adviser Dr. Deborah Birx has made several stunning admissions of late - first telling the Daily Mail that Covid-19 "came out of the box ready to infect" when it hit Wuhan, China in 2019 - and that it may have been created by Chinese scientists who were "working on coronavirus vaccines."

Italian parliament dissolved paving way for fresh elections after Prime Minister Mario Draghi resigns
Italy is facing a general election after President Sergio Mattarella dissolved parliament on Thursday. Prime Minister Mario Draghi resigned hours earlier, after three of his coalition partners boycotted a confidence vote. Mattarella did not set a date for elections, but said that a vote must take place within 70 days, as per Italy's constitution. His decision to dissolve parliament came after an attempt last week to keep Draghi in power. Draghi, who formerly led the European Central Bank, announced his resignation last Thursday after his largest coalition partners in the populist Five Star Movement withdrew their support from him, but Mattarella rejected his bid to quit.

"Putin entirely too healthy," says CIA director after rumors he was dying
Breathless reports speculating on Vladimir Putin's "poor health" seem to have become a a bi-monthly exercise since the Russian invasion of Ukraine kicked off. Among the more recent and widely reported supposed health scares was an alleged Cancer diagnosis and treatment in April, based on anonymous sources who say they are in the know, but also based in part on the Russian leader's "dramatically changed appearance" - according to some Western reports. But time and again what ends up being pure sensationalized "rumor" and educated guesses or speculation at best doesn't pan out. There's nothing ever presented in the way of evidence, or any official confirmation from the Kremlin or anyone actually close to Putin. In the opening month of the war, there were even rumors that Putin was "dying" - and that this figured into his rationale of risking so much politically in ordering the Ukraine invasion.

Russian Foreign Ministry says US is disrespecting law in Brittney Griner case
The Russian Foreign Ministry blasted the US Thursday for continuing to call WNBA star Brittney Griner "wrongfully detained" by authorities in Moscow, saying it's disrespectful to Russian law. Griner has been locked up in Russia since February, when she was busted for having cannabis vape cartridges in her luggage as she arrived at a Moscow airport. "If a US citizen was taken in connection with the fact that she was smuggling drugs, and she does not deny this, then this should be commensurate with our Russian, local laws, and not with those adopted in San Francisco, New York and Washington," said Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.

Canadian military seeking to hide Trudeau's flight info
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's personal flight schedule has gotten the PM in trouble more than once for proving he's lied about his whereabouts on his public schedule, and now, the Canadian military says it's exploring ways to add a layer of secrecy to the movement of flights that carry Trudeau. The Royal Canadian Air Force says it's investigating how it might prevent the real-time tracking of Canadian Armed Forces flights, The Globe and Mail reports. One option would ensure that flight-tracking websites, which sell their services for a fee, are unable to display the movement of some Canadian military planes.
