Russia Bans Jehovah's Witnesses after Supreme Court Rules Christian Sect 'Extremists’
Russia has banned Jehovah's Witnesses after the Supreme Court ruled the Christian sect to be an “extremist” group.
“The Supreme Court has ruled to sustain the claim of Russia's ministry of justice and deem the 'Administrative Centre of Jehovah's Witnesses in Russia' organisation extremist, eliminate it and ban its activity in Russia,” said judge Yuri Ivanenko.
“The property of the Jehovah's Witnesses organisation is to be confiscated to the state revenue.” Read on and comment » | Lizzie Dearden | Thursday, April 20, 2017

US Could End Visa-free Travel for Europeans, Donald Trump's Secretary of Homeland Security Says
The Trump administration is considering making changes to the US visa-waiver system that could make it much harder for Europeans travelling to America.
Secretary of Homeland Security John Kelly said the existing rules, which do not require Britons to obtain a visa, should be reviewed amid heightened concerns about terrorism.
"We have to start looking very hard at that [visa waiver] programme,” he said. Read on and comment » | Tom Batchelor | Thursday, April 20, 2017

Fox News 'to Drop Host Bill O'Reilly' after Harassment Cases
The Wall Street Journal - owned by Rupert Murdoch, who also owns Fox News - reports the network is "preparing to cut ties" with the presenter.
Pressure on Fox has mounted since recent reports that five women received $13m in payouts because of Mr O'Reilly.
More than 50 sponsors have withdrawn ads from his show, The O'Reilly Factor.
US media report that the board of 21st Century Fox will hold a meeting about the matter on Thursday.
According to New York Magazine, executives were holding emergency meetings on Wednesday morning to discuss how to get rid of Mr O'Reilly. » | Wednesday, April 19, 2017

Republican Senators Furious That Trump Has Turned Presidency Into A “Trump” Brand Commercial
The Americans did something very stupid to elect Donald Trump into the White House. Trump is a man with no political experience; and even after this short time in office, it's plain to see. Further, he is being influenced by Ivanka, who is profiting from her position in the White House. But more importantly, can anyone explain to me what this young lady knows or understands about geopolitics? And that goes for her husband, Jared, too. How is he going to fix Middle Eastern problems? More especially, how is he going to fix the Palestinian question, particularly when so many experienced politicians before him have failed? The Trump administration is a disaster, it seems to me. God only knows what the next four years will bring. World war is, of course, not out of the question. – Mark

This Is No General Election, It’s a Coup – MPs Have a Duty to Stop Theresa May
Theresa May has turned democracy against itself. She has been seduced by the siren evidence of the 20-point lead in the polls, and she will have a general election, the one she said again and again that she would not call. And it will almost certainly return her with a thumping majority that will allow her to run the Brexit negotiations just as she wants.
There will be no obligation on her to reflect the views of the minority position. She will leave the remainers of England disempowered. She has made a Scottish referendum inevitable, and a border poll in Northern Ireland infinitely more likely. She is resetting politics in a way that will entrench division. We will all rue this day.

Post-Brexit Britain: This Is What Taking Your Country Back Looks Like
So how is the post Brexit post Trump world shaping up? Well recent events have cast a revealing light as to the direction of travel. Last week saw the post Brexit “Global Britain” strategy pursued headlong. Theresa May was in Saudi Arabia, Chancellor Philip Hammond in India and international trade secretary Dr Liam Fox in the Philippines.
Global Britain
The “Global Britain” strategy essentially embodies an extreme free market drive long dreamed of by elements of the corporate and financial elite. It will take the form of bilateral trade agreements (most notably with Trump’s America) and a bonfire of regulations.
If you thought leaving the European Union would avert the EU-US trade agreement, or Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP), think again. A free trade deal with Trump’s America could be TTIP magnified times 10 leaving the UK exposed without the negotiating power of the EU. It will aggressively open up the NHS and public services to US corporate takeover and lock in privatisation. Read on and comment » | Youssef El-Gingihy | Wednesday, April 12, 2017

EU Observer in Turkey Condemns Referendum as 'Neither Fair Nor Free'
Fears the Yes vote in Turkey's referendum which granted far-reaching new powers to Turkey's President may have been unfairly influenced in his favour have been heightened by criticism from an EU observer sent as an impartial witness.
Opposition parties are saying the result should be annulled after alleging electoral fraud in Sunday’s referendum, in which 51% of the electorate voted for constitutional changes that include the abolition of the office of Prime Minister, and could allow Recep Tayyip Erdogan to stay as President until 2029.
The EU sent a delegation of 20 impartial observers to ensure the referendum complied with European standards. Read on and comment » | Niamh McIntyre | Monday, April 17, 2017

Britain Set to Lose EU ‘Crown Jewels’
The EU is set to inflict a double humiliation on Theresa May, stripping Britain of its European agencies within weeks, while formally rejecting the prime minister’s calls for early trade talks.
The Observer has learned that EU diplomats agreed their uncompromising position at a crunch meeting on Tuesday, held to set out the union’s strategy in the talks due to start next month.
A beauty contest between member states who want the European banking and medicine agencies, currently located in London, will begin within two weeks, with selection criteria to be unveiled by the president of the European council, Donald Tusk.
The European Banking Authority and the European Medicines Agency employ about 1,000 people, many of them British, and provide a hub for businesses in the UK. It is understood that the EU’s chief negotiator hopes the agencies will know their new locations by June, although the process may take longer. Cities such as Frankfurt, Milan, Amsterdam and Paris are competing to take the agencies, which are regarded as among the EU’s crown jewels.

Nordkorea droht mit „vollständigem Krieg“
Der Konflikt zwischen Nordkorea und den Vereinigten Staaten um das militärische Atomprogramm Pjöngjangs drohte sich am Samstag weiter auszuweiten. Vom Regime des stalinistisch geführten Landes kamen die gewohnt martialischen Töne: Nordkorea drohte Washington damit, einen möglichen Atomangriff mit einem nuklearen Gegenschlag zu vergelten. Das Land sei bereit, „einen vollständigen Krieg mit einem vollständigen Krieg zu beantworten“, sagte die Nummer Zwei des Landes, Choe Ryong Hae, am Samstag in einer vom Staatsfernsehen übertragenen Rede. » | Markus Wehner | Samstag, 15.

Nordkorea-Krise: Düstere Vorahnungen zum Tag der Sonne
Für Nordkorea ist es der größte Feiertag des Jahres. An diesem Samstag lässt das Regime den Geburtstag des Staatsgründers Kim Il-sung als „Tag der Sonne“ feiern. Dass es an diesem 105. Geburtstag des Begründers der Kim-Dynastie eine große Militärparade geben wird, erscheint sicher. Doch wird Machthaber Kim Jong-un, der Enkel des Staatsgründers, den großen Tag auch mit einem Atomtest oder einem Raketenstart „feiern“ lassen?

Greek Orthodox Bishop Calls on Erdogan to Denounce Islam and Be Baptised
Greek Orthodox Bishop, Metropolit Seraphim of Piraeus has caused controversy by urging Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to convert to Orthodoxy with Russian President Vladimir Putin as his godfather. And no, it's not a joke.
In a 37-page letter to Erdogan written in Greek, Metropolit Seraphim asks the Turkish leader to denounce his Islamic faith and be baptised in the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople.
"If you want to save yourself and your family you should convert to Greek Orthodox Church, the only real faith," Seraphim writes, reports Keep Talking Greece.
"We propose and we advise you to come to the arms of the Greek Orthodox Church before the end of your life on earth. » | Thursday, April 13, 2017

Dr. Lustig: Type 2 Diabetes Is "Processed Food Disease"
“Sugar is toxic,” Lustig explains. “It proffers a set of biochemical alterations that are detrimental to human health—unrelated to its calories.”
In this way, Lustig says, sugar “is very much like alcohol,” and chronic metabolic diseases associated with alcohol are becoming prevalent in children with high-sugar diets.
When asked about the state of pediatric medicine in the United States, Lustig says, “We have a problem.”
Because the food industry has negatively influenced nutrition science for the last 45 years, many people still abide by the mistaken belief that a healthy diet is attained by regulating calories and saturated fat. This misconception has led to a rise in chronic metabolic diseases such as Type 2 diabetes in adult and youth populations.
People who believe they are making healthy choices and avoiding sugar are nevertheless affected by the crisis.
“Even though you might not be sick,” Lustig says, “society is.”
In the final third of the video, Lustig outlines the necessary steps for enacting a societal intervention. These steps include educating the public, approaching sugar as an addictive substance and calling Type 2 diabetes what it is: “processed food disease.”

Appell der Uno: Russen sollen Gewalt gegen Homosexuelle in Tschetschenien stoppen
Die tschetschenischen Behörden geben sich zwar alle Mühe, das Thema herunterzuspielen. Doch inzwischen sorgen die Berichte von staatlichen Übergriffen auf mehr als 100 Homosexuelle und Transgender auch international für Protest.
Der Hohe Kommissar der Vereinten Nationen für Menschenrechte wandte sich mit einem Aufruf direkt an Russland, Druck auf die Führung in Tschetschenien zu machen. Der Kreml müsse die Verfolgung stoppen, heißt es auf der Webseite des Büros des Hohen Kommissars. Homosexuelle lebten in einem Klima der Angst, das auch durch die homophobe Rhetorik der Behörden entstünde. Die Investigativ-Journalistin Elena Milaschina von der russischen "Nowaja Gaseta" hatte als erste über die Vorfälle berichtet. » | jok/AP | Freitag, 14. April 2017
