A few interesting things about the #Skripal briefing:
Apparently the parfume bottle was a strange Nina Ricci fake. It's not particular clear how to apply a gel with it.

The two suspects had a room in the CityStay Hotel near Bow Road. The investigators took samples on 4th May (one month after the suspects left). Two samples had harmless traces of Novichok. "Just to be sure" they took new samples from the same spots and found nothing.

The investigators explained the negative result by "brushing away" the Novichok when they took the first samples. It means they had a lot of luck in the first place to find the invisible spots on the wall and accidentally decontaminated the hotel room with a cotton swap.

PM Abiy smiles when asked how the liberalization of the Airlines and Electric Corporation would provide better services to the #Ethiopia|n public. He says, “we are in debt, we have to pay back but we can’t. And secondarily, we aren’t able to finish projects we have started."

#Ethiopia: Live "The target is to create a market-led capitalist system. The private sector is crucial to help us develop this capitalist system. This is because the private sector is better at being profitable than the government.”
PM Abiy

On the airlines:“African leaders want one airlines for the whole continent. This was one of the points of the economic integration. Following this, EAL has bought Malawi’s half airlines, and also Zambia’s AL, and also of Chad’s and Guinea, Togo. We will be buying more shares."

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed
