#Djibouti 🇩🇯 is a small which many probably would not be able to place on a map. Yet, it is quickly becoming the arena for 21st century great power competition.
China’s very first overseas base is located nearby a large American base.

This American base is set into the southern end of Djibouti’s main airport.
The US and it’s partners in the region operate a drone base at a smaller airport to the south of Camp Lemonier.
Italy’s right-wing coalition government is seeking to #ban Italians from using #surrogacy to have children, even when done abroad. Those found guilty of using surrogates could be face #prison time and #fines according to a draft bill approved by parliament.
The divisive proposal was met with protests by the Italian public. Surrogacy and its promotion have already been banned in Italy since 2004. Italians have since been forced to find #surrogate mothers in other countries where it is legal.
Some proponents of the ban call it “procreational tourism”. They view it as a degrading practice that exploits women economically. Prime Minister Giorgia #Meloni supports the draft ban despite Italy’s declining #birthrate and the country’s looming demographic crisis.

The Rise and Fall of Far-Right and Neo-Nazi Movements in Ukraine and Russia since 1990: A Comparative Perspective
/1
@doritoeubanks @ItsArtoir Since USSR ended in 1991, the landscape of far-right & neo-Nazi movements in Russia & Ukraine has evolved in response to various political, social, & economic changes. Understanding this provides crucial insight into a broader resurgence of far-right movements across Europe.

@doritoeubanks @ItsArtoir In #Ukraine, the resurgence of far-right ideologies started to gain momentum in the late 2000s. The Svoboda party, originally known as the Social-National Party of Ukraine, emerged as a political force, winning seats in local governments and the national parliament.

Thank you! I am watching now. Make my comments as I progress in watching this video about #RestoreNature: good intentions, bad design!

If there is need of additional information, #EP has the obligation to ask for additional impact assessment, there is even an obligation. You said the IA does not answer to the question about the impact on the economic cost. Here the answer simplified ec.europa.eu/commission/pre… 1/1
Minute 5: You cannot judge the importance of a legislation based on your personal assessment that this legislation is an invitation for court cases. A judge is focused on the common interpretation of rules, and not on quantifying targets. 1/2
The desert is coming. The #Sahara desert is expanding towards Southern #Spain and #Italy, and experts predict that both regions will become deserts by 2100 or even sooner. Unfortunately, not much grows in the desert.
Natalie Thomas, author of the study that quantified the Sahara’s century of growth, asks: “Morally, how do we deal with the fact that developing countries are paying the price?”
“Only when problems begin to affect wealthier nations do these find impetus to act. The Sahara situation is similar: desertification could actually spread across the Mediterranean Sea into Europe within the next century, which would certainly stir up its member states.”

#Gamma radiation in #Khmelnytsky could actually indicate that a #DirtyBomb was stored in the warehouses.
Gamma radiation is characteristic of #enriched #uranium. Is it possible that were making "dirty bombs" at the Khmelnitsky #NPP

Two big developments y'day - #Ukraine's counter offensive prep + long range weapons arrive! Catch up here:
First a strange tale from the far east of #Russia where a private helicopter cut through power lines during a "hard landing"
The Mi-2's landing cut off power to the Transneft station in Primorsky Krai.
It's so remote it took 2 days to find the chopper & the pilot's disappeared!

A big increase in #Russia's manpower losses in the last 24 hours. Still a lot of equipment being hit by #Ukraine too.

#svagaiature #italy #medieval
It is thought to have Lomgobards origins, used by the aristocracy of the kingdom as a charriot. By XI century its functions became mainly symbolic, because of the added weight of the Cross and the city banners. (2/6)
Documents dating 1158 and 1201 confirm the presence of the milanese carroccio in San Giorgio al Palazzo’s church, in time of peace. In the battle of #Legnano, 29th of May 1176, the carrocio played a crucial role in the final victory. (3/6)
