Russia reveals crew losses from sunken warship The Black Sea Fleet flagship Moskva was severely damaged by a detonation of ordnance on April 13 as a result of a fire, according to Russia's Ministry of Defense. According to the statement, one serviceman died and another 27 crew members went missing, and the team's attempts to put out the fire were unsuccessful. Ukraine claims the ship was hit by one of its missiles. One serviceman was killed and another 27 crew members went missing during the battle for the ship's survival. The cruiser's remaining 396 crew members were transferred to other Black Sea Fleet ships in the region and transported to Sevastopol, according to the ministry. According to the statement, the vast majority of officers, midshipmen, and sailors from the Moskva have expressed a wish to continue serving on ships of the Black Sea Fleet. Several personnel who wanted to transfer to other garrisons will continue to serve aboard other fleets' boats. The Ministry of Defense has stated that it is providing all essential support and assistance to the relatives and friends of those who have died or are missing from the Moskva crew. The Moskva sank while being hauled to port in bad sea conditions, according to the Russian military. According to the Defense Ministry, a munitions explosion caused by an onboard fire destroyed the warship's hull. Prior to Russian military accusations of a fire aboard the Moskva, Kiev claimed the ship had been hit by anti-ship missiles fired from Ukraine. Maxim Marchenko, the chief of the Odessa region's military administration, stated that Ukrainian Neptune missiles fired from Odessa had caused "extremely serious damage" to the Moskva.

Macron on use of nukes against Russia. French President Emmanuel Macron has stated that if Russia used nuclear weapons against Ukraine, Paris would not respond with nuclear weapons. His remarks received quick criticism from many who felt he had revealed too much information. In an interview with public broadcaster France 2, Macron said that his nation had a clearly defined nuclear doctrine that was founded on the basic interests of the nation. "These are clearly defined and wouldn’t be directly affected at all if, for example, there was a ballistic nuclear attack in Ukraine," he said. Macron also tweeted on Wednesday that France does "not want a world war." Former French President François Hollande criticized Macron's openness, stating that nuclear dissuasion "relies on not saying anything" about what the nation may do in particular circumstances. #shorts #NuclearWar #ww3 #Macron ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YK3S_cdEE-g

Prince Charles calls for ‘military-style campaign’ to combat climate change During his statement at the COP26 climate summit, the heir to the British throne warned the audience that world governments had no choice but to engage in a "military-style campaign" across an otherwise doomed globe. Prince Charles said in his opening statement to the climate summit in Glasgow on Monday that the world's countries must put themselves "on a war-like footing" to combat the looming climate problem. Climate change, he informed the assembled heavies, posed a on a war-like footing than the Covid-19 pandemic.Recognizing that combating climate change will require "trillions, not billions," he noted that some countries, "many of them are burdened by rising debt levels, simply cannot afford to go green." The prince then recommended a solution that is popular among green-minded billionaires all around the world:, "trillions, not billions,", Carbon credits, which effectively allow companies to buy rights to emit a certain amount of carbon dioxide, have been the focus of climate change jetsetters for years, unlocking the 'value' of nature's commons without requiring the emitters-in-chief to stop their environmentally unfriendly activities. The prince called for "countries to come together to create the atmosphere that allows every sector of industry to take the action required," without explaining what that action would be – only that it must include a "military-style campaign" if it is to succeed. Here we need a vast military-style campaign to marshal the strength of the global private sector. With trillions at its disposal, far beyond global GDP and with the greatest respect beyond even the governments of the world's leaders, it offers the only real prospect of achieving fundamental economic transition. He told the crowd that "the world's eyes and hopes are upon you" because "time has literally run out," presumably referring to the event organizers' claim that it would be one of the last chances to persuade world leaders to commit to carbon-cutting goals that would keep global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius above "pre-industrial" levels. That was the objective set in Paris in 2015, and it remains an absolute must for well-heeled environmentalists like the prince in order to, "the world's eyes and hopes are upon you" The summit was deemed important enough that Prince Charles and US President Joe Biden flew their less-than-sustainable private aircraft to Scotland for the event, which was hosted by UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The choice to have such a meeting in person during a global epidemic may have contributed to a number of cancellations on the conference's invitation list, as Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian Pres ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKwBr_uM7ic

Sri Lanka: Rajapaksa’s ruling coalition loses majority in Parliament; FM Ali Sabry resigns For the first time since the state of emergency was proclaimed, the ruling coalition of Sri Lankan President Gotabaya Rajapaksa lost its majority in Parliament on Tuesday. According to the news agency Reuters, at least 41 parliamentarians have left the alliance due to public outrage against the Rajapaksa family. President Rajapaksa previously stated that he will not retire from his post, but that he is willing to hand over the administration to whoever can demonstrate a majority in Parliament. While there has yet to be a vote count, with the ruling coalition in the minority, adopting government measures could be difficult unless independent lawmakers back them. A day after being sworn in, Finance Minister Ali Sabry, who replaced the President's brother, Basil Rajapaksa, announced his resignation a day after being sworn in, saying that "new, aggressive, and innovative methods" were needed to handle this unprecedented crisis. Sabry went on to say that when he stepped down as Minister of Justice on April 3, he had no intention of taking up another position. Meanwhile, 2,000 demonstrators marched to Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa's home in Tangalle on Monday, demanding his resignation. After breaking over police barricades, security officers were forced to use tear gas to disperse the gathering. Protests continued across the country, with demonstrations taking place in Colombo's Independence Square and outside the homes of at least six lawmakers. Thanks for watching.
