In a letter to Lammy on Monday, seen by MEE, Scottish National Party MP Chris Law accused the foreign secretary of failing to "demonstrate any responsibility of the UK government to prevent genocide".

Petite info, Barnier a écrit ce sms à ses ministres: "J'ai décidé d'engager la responsabilité du gouvernement cet après-midi, après avoir cherché jusqu'au bout des compromis", déclare le Premier ministre. Des compromis principalement avec le RN et sans entendre les demandes de la gauche...

Oil and gas drilling activity to reach 10-year high in 2025: industry group
"CAOEC expects a total of 6,604 wells to be drilled in Western Canada in 2025. That represents a 7.3 per cent increase from 2024 and would be the most activity in the Western Canadian oilpatch since the commodity price crash of 2014/15, which led to years of industry contraction."

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has collected more evidence and information in the past 18 months than it has in the 20 years since it was founded, its chief prosecutor said on Monday.
The ICC has received the most evidence and documents in its history in the last year, with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and victims submitting a large number of documents and evidence under Article 15 of the Rome Statute, he noted.
Virginia Tech researchers developing portable COVID tests
Imagine being able to walk into a crowded store, restaurant or even movie theater and be able to detect if there’s COVID-19 in the air.
Bet those businesses would hate ppl knowing if covid was in the air, and making an educated choice TO LEAVE.
Expect a backlash.
The only problem is – I don't actually believe that this is how the world works. Do you? You don’t insert deeds or prayer into the divine vending machine and genuinely expect to get exactly the candy you’re hoping for, do you? (3/)

One of the big roadblocks has been the abuses of prayer I have witnessed from Prosperity Spirituality/Religion and certain sects praying for vengence.
Hopefully your insights will help resolve this issue i am experiencing.
Cultural aside: there are Prayer-o-Matics in at least 1-2 Philip K. Dick novels.
States cannot avoid their legal obligations under the Rome Statute to implement International Criminal Court (ICC) decisions, including the arrest of individuals facing warrants, a former UN official said.
“For 77 years, Israel has enjoyed unbroken impunity for a chain of horrific international crimes,” Craig Mokhiber, former Director of the New York Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, told Anadolu.

ll a osé le dire: "L'heure est grave", déclare Attal. "Notre pays a besoin d'un personnel politique à la hauteur de ce moment", ajoute, sans rire, le patron des macronistes à l'Assemblée, visant le PS... avec Prisca Thévenot juste derrière lui (j'essaye de ne pas rire). Qui a précipité le pays dans le mur en pratiquant la politique du pire depuis 7 ans?

The man killed in an Israeli strike on southern Lebanon’s Marjayoun on 2 December has been identified as a Lebanese security officer, authorities said, as Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri announced over 50 violations of the ceasefire by Israel.
“An Israeli drone targeted a State Security officer, Corporal Mahdi Khreis, with a guided missile while he was performing his national duty,” Lebanon’s State Security service said.

Après, même parmi les moins cyniques de la macronie, je pense qu'aucun n'est capable de renverser la majorité du texte.
Ceux qui ont bougé l'avaient déjà fait pour la loi immigration, et... ils étaient peu.
