(Photo by AFP) Press TV - May 28, 2020 Warplanes from the Saudi-led military coalition waging war on Yemen have carried out 47 airstrikes on different parts in the country, further destroying the impoverished country’s infrastructure. Yemen’s Arabic-language al-Masirah TV cited an unnamed Yemeni military source as saying on Wednesday that the Saudi-led fighter jets had pounded localities in Yemen’s Ma’rib, Jawf, Sa’ada, and Hajjah provinces during the previous hours. Majzar and Midghal districts in the central province of Ma’rib were struck 19 times, and Khasf Village in the Hazm district in the no...

Wait, Twitter, it’s a trap! Social media platform pressured to ‘fact check’ Chinese spokesman after doing so with Trump RT | May 28, 2020 Twitter seems to be falling further into the trap of de facto becoming a publisher. After ‘fact checking’ President Donald Trump’s tweets, it was pressured to do the same with a Chinese spokesman. The decision of Twitter to mark some of Donald Trump’s tweets about mail-in ballots with notices implying they contained misinformation, may have been welcomed by the many critics of the US president, but some say the move was short-sighted. After all, how does Trump differ from any other public figure whose tweets may need to be ‘corrected’ with a ‘fact check’? Apparently, in at least one case, Twitter couldn’t come up with a good answer, and instead chose to issue more notices. It dug up some March tweets by Lijian Zhao, a spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry, who infamously accused the US military of possibly starting the Covid-19 epidemic by bring...

Secret Nuclear Sites of DPRK? Or is Everything Visible from Above? by aletho By Konstantin Asmolov - New Eastern Outlook - 28.05.2020 Since 2018, North Korea has continued to adhere to its moratorium on nuclear, and medium- and long-range missile tests. This has created an impression that DPRK’s missile and nuclear weapons program has been put on hold. Still, analysts have been asking whether this is actually the case and the answer tends to depend on their political bias.  Naturally, those who have come to perceive Pyongyang as an Evil Empire believe that North Korea has not stopped working on such projects and is continuing to develop weapons of mass destruction. Within US expert circles, aside from holding such opinions, analysts linked with the Democratic party typically seek ways to show how politically incompetent Donald Trump is. In fact, any of their statements about successes made on the North Korean front actually imply that Donald Trump is being deceived but does not rea...

G20 Protestors play a protest giant game of Monopoly outside the London Stock Exchange. © Jane Mingay / Telegraph UK via Global Look Press Lavrov blasts leaders who put selfish interests ahead of saving lives during pandemic by aletho RT | May 28, 2020 The elites who rule the West have put selfish or ideological goals first when choosing their response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Russia’s foreign minister has said in a scathing op-ed. The ongoing health crisis has exposed the incompetence and failure to adapt that powerful people in the West suffer from. Those people are stuck in the kind of thinking that simply does not work in the globalized world, Sergey Lavrov wrote in a piece published by the Chinese outlet Global Times on Thursday. The coronavirus came as “an instruction for humility,” said Lavrov, as it posed a threat to all people and nations regardless of their location, wealth, or political preferences. It was a problem that nobody could “sit out in a safe haven, be...

© Reuters / Ints Kalnins ‘NATO roulette’: Norwegian port to host nuclear-powered US subs despite local objections by aletho RT | May 28, 2020 A municipal port in Norway is set to receive nuclear-powered submarines from NATO after the only naval base in the area was sold and decommissioned – but local politicians and environmental activists aren't on board with the plan. When the Olavsvern base in Tromso was sold to private investors in 2009, pressure mounted from NATO to find an alternative point of arrival for reactor-driven vessels, other than Haakonsvern in Bergen, which is currently the only approved port in the country. Now it appears a “temporary solution” to the problem has been found at Grotsund in Tromso, where the country's Armed Forces have been told to prepare for the arrival of US submarines, Klassekampen reported. Military spokesman Brynjar Stordal told the newspaper that the forces had been given “political instructions” to prepare for the reception and that they...

Iran Can Supply Itself With Nuclear Fuel Without Russia’s Help — Atomic Energy Body by aletho Sputnik - 28.05.2020 TEHRAN - Iran is capable of supplying itself with nuclear fuel even without Russia's assistance, Iran's Atomic Energy Organization (AEOI) spokesman, Behruz Kamalvandi, said on Thursday. "Fuel is delivered from Russia each time we need it, without any problems. If we run out of fuel, we will be capable of producing it, without resting on any other country," Kamalvandi told the ISNA news agency. His comment came soon after the United States announced ending sanction waivers covering Iran's nuclear projects. In late April, Russia delivered a fresh batch of nuclear fuel to Iran's Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, necessary for efficient functioning of the reactor. يمكن لإيران أن تزود نفسها بالوقود النووي دون مساعدة روسيا - هيئة الطاقة الذرية بواسطة aletho سبوتنيك - 28.05.2020 قال المتحدث باسم منظمة الطاقة الذرية الايرانية بيروز كمالالفندي يوم الخميس ان اير...

Photo by Olivier Fitoussi/Flash90 Netanyahu on Annexation Plan: Palestinians Will Offer Concession, Not ‘Israel’ by aletho Benjamin Netanyahu says the Palestinians are the side who will offer concession as the Israeli PM eyes implementing the annexation plan of West Bank and Jordan Valley. “Only if the Palestinians agree that Israel has security and control throughout the territory, they will receive their own entity that (US President Donald) Trump defines as a state,” Netanyahu told Israel Hayom in an interview. “We are not urged to offer concessions, but the Palestinians are those who will do so,” the Israeli PM added. Meanwhile, he said that “attempts to set free Israelis held in Gaza are underway,” but noted that he “will not release Palestinian prisoners who “have blood on their hands.” نتنياهو حول خطة الضم: الفلسطينيون سيقدمون تنازلا وليس "إسرائيل...

A unanimous vote in the Chinese parliament on the controversial security law on Hong Kong On Thursday, the Chinese parliament built a controversial national security law in Hong Kong that was prepared in response to the massive demonstrations in the former British colony last year. In an expected move, the nearly 3,000 lawmakers in the National People’s Assembly adopted the measure, which mainly stirs anger in the semi-autonomous region, and prompted the United States to start sanctions measures against Beijing. تصويت بالإجماع في البرلمان الصيني على القانون الأمني المثير للجدل حول هونغ كونغ بنى البرلمان الصيني بشبه إجماع الخميس قانونا مثيرا للجدل حول الأمن القومي في هونغ كونغ أعد ردا على التظاهرات الحاشدة التي شهدتها المستعمرة البريطانية السابقة العام الماضي. وفي خطوة كانت متوقعة، تبنى النواب البالغ عددهم نحو ثلاثة آلاف في الجمعية الوطنية الشعبية الإجراء الذي يثير أساسا غضبا في المنطقة التي تتمتع بشبه حكم ذاتي ودفع الولايات المتحدة إلى بدء إجراءات فرض عقوبات على بكين.

On Wednesday night, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey — rarely one to pick a political fight — took to his own platform to clarify the company’s decision. In the statement, Dorsey referenced comments Mark Zuckerberg made to Fox News contrasting Facebook’s obsessively neutral approach to policing its platform with Twitter’s present situation. “I just believe strongly that Facebook shouldn’t be the arbiter of truth of everything that people say online,” Zuckerberg said. “Private companies … especially these platform companies, shouldn’t be in the position of doing that.” Dorsey also denounced Trump’s online supporters and surrogat...

Noam Chomsky: The United States is "heading towards the abyss" after Coruna The American philosopher Noam Chomsky, who is considered the father of modern linguistics, believes that the United States is heading towards disaster, as a result of its lack of a federal strategy in the face of the Covid-19 epidemic and the absence of a health guarantee for all in it, as well as its failure to acknowledge the seriousness of climate change. Chomsky, a 91-year-old influential left-wing thinker, has been obliging the stone in his home in Tucson, USA, two months ago, with his Brazilian wife, their dog, and their prostitutes. Below are excerpts from the interview with Chomsky, author of hundreds of books and a professor at the University of Arizona. How do you analyze what is happening in the United States, the country most affected by the emerging corona virus? Chomsky: There is no coherent management. The White House is led by a socially disordered person with paranoia, who care...
