USA: Latest US Nuclear Posture Review aims for 'greater trust' with Russia 2018-02-03 04:10 The Trump Administration announced on Friday that the US' new Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) intends to increase understanding of Russian nuclear stockpiling and to establish «greater trust» with Russia.

He went on to say that China is also modernising and expanding its nuclear forces, before warning that both countries challenge «the free and open international order». One of the NPR's intentions is restabilising the conditions necessary for «greater trust with Russia and improved transparency with China as it expands and modernizes its nuclear forces», affirmed Shannon. He also said that «unfriendly regimes» like North Korea or Iran «put our lives at risk by pursuing nuclear weapons», adding that «the potential threat of non-state actors getting their hands on a nuclear weapon remains at the front of all of our minds». Shannon highlighted that the 2018 NPR focuses on strengthening extended deterrence and the long-term goal remains eliminating nuclear weapons from the world.

The Syrian National Dialogue Congress took place between January 29 and 30. Around 1,600 delegates representing a wide range of Syria's political forces participated in the peace talks.

Exhibition coordinator Marcos Soriano explained that a «falla» is «one of the figures that represent those scenes, in which we find criticism, satire, wit and grace». Visitors vote for the best «ninot», and the winner will escape the inevitable destiny of all the others: being burnt during the traditional Fallas celebration on March 19. The sculptures are created for the commemoration of Saint Joseph, which takes place annually in Valencia, at the end of March. The 'Fallas' are paraded through the streets, before being set alight at the culmination of the festival. «Индустрия кино»: И «Оскар» достается... 2018-02-03 10:29 В своем новом выпуске «Индустрия кино» продолжает рассказ о фаворитах оскаровской гонки.

Greece: Far-right Golden Dawn party rally over Macedonia naming dispute 2018-02-04 03:04 Hundreds of far-right Golden Dawn party members and activists rallied in Athens on Saturday against the Greek government's stance on the Macedonia naming dispute and to honour a 1996 military incident which cost the lives of three Greek navy officers and brought Greece and Turkey to the brink of war. Protesters burned the flag of Macedonia, while waving Greek and Golden Dawn flags, far-right banners and chanting the Greek national anthem. «Today the demonstration was to honour the three officers of the Hellenic navy who sacrificed their lives in 1996 against Turkey, and the second very important issue for what we demonstrated today was the issue about Macedonia and the name, the one and only Macedonia that was, is and will be forever Greek», explained Golden Dawn Parliament member Ilias Panagiotaros. Golden Dawn oppose what they see as the Greek government's conciliatory approach to the issue of the Republic of Macedonia's name. Many nationalists believe that the name Macedonia implies a territorial claim on the eponymous northern region of Greece, with which it borders. Talks are underway to devise a provisional name for Macedonia in order to bypass Greek opposition to its membership of NATO under its current name.

Students, civil associations and members of the general public joined the march, in which several old Italian partisans that fought against Nazi and Fascist armies during Italy's occupation also participated. «We were patriots. We collected that [Italian] flag dishonoured and tarnished by Mussolini and by the King. We took it back, we strove to clean it with our blood and we gave it polished to the Italian people», claimed partisan Enzo Piaras On January 12, a group of anti-fascists were allegedly attacked by about thirty members of the far-right movement CasaPound.

Protesters chanted «we are children of migrants», «no mercy for fascists» and «we are anti-fascists», amongst others. «Today we were much more than them. What is interesting to see is that they left before us. We were more and the idea was to let them understand that this speech shouldn't grow and that fascism will never pass, in elections or in people's minds», said one protester. «What is amazing is to see that this movement mobilised a lot of people who were not necessarily activists neither engaged in anything», added another. The anti-migrants protest was organised by the far-right Parti de la France party. The two simultaneous demonstrations passed without clashes and were kept separate from each other by police authorities. |
