2. D’abord l’#Ukraine, sur toutes les bouches. @ZelenskyyUa a fait une apparition vidéo en fin de journée décriant la destruction par la Russie de 5 millions d’acres de forêts en 6 mois et appelant à un plan global évaluant l’impact de l’action militaire sur le climat et l’env.
3. Les récentes inondations au #Pakistan ont suscité une vague de solidarité. Avec un hiver dur qui arrive, le PM pakistanais @CMShehbaz a lancé un puissant cri du cœur pour la #justice: « La COP est un forum où nous, pays vulnérables, venons plaider notre cause aux pays riches…
Tiny #Palau in not-so-pacific middle of #US & #China

2) Tiny Palau invited the US Pentagon to build ports, bases and airfields on its Pacific islands after Chinese President Xi Jinping bullied the Pacific island nation by destabilizing its fragile economy, according to defiant President Surangel Whipps.
3) “President Whipps’ frank assessment of Chinese pressure – and invitation to host US bases – are unusually blunt for a Pacific leader,” Australia Pacific Security College director Meg Keen said in an interview.
Fmr Director for #Oceania & #IndoPacific #Security Alex Gray:
"As a senior allied government official once noted to me, a map of Imperial #Japan’s #Pacific islands bases in 1941 could almost perfectly overlay #Beijing’s areas of most intense economic & political activity today."

IMF: Partial global rebound to 5.8% in 2021 “assumes the #pandemic fades in the 2nd half of 2020, & that policy actions taken by countries are effective in preventing widespread firm bankruptcies, extended job losses, & system-wide financial strains.” #WEO ow.ly/ZLYi50zccSJ

This retraction by @AlJazeera actually raises more questions than answers, and to my mind at least, brings to the fore, the fact that our Federal Republic of Anyhowness, has gone global...
Yesterday, asides @AlJazeera_World, other news outlets, including the Twitter only news outlet, @spectatorindex said that #Nigeria's ambassador had attended the opening of the American Embassy in #Jerusalem.
Isreali outlets such at @TimesofIsrael and @HamodiaIL also ran with the news. @haaretzcom actually went so far as to publish an infograph that included #Nigeria's name as one of the country's "celebrating with them" on the grand new opening...
