In 1st public speech after leaving office In Oct last year, he accused China, India, Russia of not taking care of ‘ filthy air ’ as he justified withdrawing from Paris climate agreement WASHINGTON In his first public speech since leaving the White House , former US president Donald Trump has raised the climate issue while criticising his successor Joe Biden for rejoining the “very unfair” Paris Agreement, wondering what good it does when America is “clean” but China, Russia and India are not. Speaking at the Conservative Political Action Committee in Orlando, Florida on Sunday, the 74-year-old leader, who left the White House on January 20, came down heavily on the Biden administration for putting the “United States back into the very unfair and very costly Paris Climate Accord without negotiating a better deal”. “First of all, China does not kick in for 10 years, Russia goes by an old standard which was not a clean standard. But we get hit right from the beginning ... » Learn More about Trump fumes at US return to Paris pact

China appears to warn India: Push too hard and the lights could go out
Early last summer, Chinese and Indian armies clashed in a surprise border battle in the remote Galwan Valley, bashing each other to death with rocks and clubs. Four months later and more than 1,500 miles away in Mumbai, rains shut down and the stock market closed as the power went out in a city of 20 million people. Hospitals had to switch to emergency generators to keep ventilators running amid a coronavirus outbreak that was among India’s worst. Now, a new study lends weight to the idea that those two events may have been connected — as part of a broad Chinese cyber campaign against India’s power grid, timed to send a message that if India pressed its claims too hard, the lights could go out across the country. The study shows that as the battles raged in the Himalayas, taking at least two dozen lives, Chinese malware was flowing into the control systems that manage electric supply across India, along with a high-voltage transmission substation and a coal-fired power ... » Learn More about China appears to warn India: Push too hard and the lights could go out
Modi gets ready for the Battle of 2024
'The BJP's all-India plans can be expected to become clearer around 2022-2023, particularly if -- as some anticipate -- the senior Congress leadership cracks, broadly as between the Nehru-Gandhi loyalists and those who may be termed 'pro-changers',' observes Arun Bhatnagar, a retired IAS officer.

Yemen rebels claim Saudi strikes, threaten new attacks
Yemen’s Iran-backed Huthi rebels on Sunday claimed missile and drone strikes that targeted neighbouring Saudi Arabia overnight and threatened more attacks, as fighting in the grinding civil war escalates. Huthi fighters have intensified operations against the kingdom as air strikes by the Saudi-led military coalition pound rebel positions in the north of Yemen, in a bid to stop their offensive to seize the government’s last northern stronghold of Marib. Years of war have already pushed Yemen to the brink of famine. Saudi Arabia — which has been backing the Yemeni government against the rebels since 2015 — said Saturday it thwarted a Huthi missile that targeted Riyadh. “The operation was carried out with a ballistic missile and 15 drones... targeting sensitive areas in the enemy’s capital of Riyadh,” said Huthi spokesman Yahya al-Saree, according to the rebels’ Al Masirah TV channel. “Our operations will continue and will expand as long as the aggression and siege on our ... » Learn More about Yemen rebels claim Saudi strikes, threaten new attacks
U.S. failure to sanction MbS for Khashoggi killing ‘dangerous’: U.N. expert
A U.N. human rights investigator said on Monday that it was “extremely dangerous” for the United States to have named Saudi Arabia’s de facto ruler as having approved an operation to capture or kill journalist Jamal Khashoggi but not to have taken action against him. Agnes Callamard, special rapporteur on summary executions who led a U.N. investigation into Khashoggi’s 2018 murder, reiterated her call for sanctions targeting Mohammed bin Salman’s assets and his international engagements. He approved an operation to capture or kill Khashoggi, according to U.S. intelligence released on Friday as the United States imposed sanctions on some of those involved but spared the crown prince himself in an effort to preserve relations with the kingdom. Callamard told a Geneva news conference that what had been declassified “appears to be very little indeed and that’s disappointing” and she would have expected more material evidence to have been released. “It is extremely problematic, in ... » Learn More about U.S. failure to sanction MbS for Khashoggi killing ‘dangerous’: U.N. expert
