China’s coronavirus places world in crisis

By 1232 0

The coronavirous breakout has left the world in a difficult situation. Many western countries are in a confused state. Many are not clear how they should handle those who return from the affected country.

Australia has launched a plan to quarantine the returnees in an Island away from the mainland.

The country is expected to place the returnees in the Island till they are found unaffected by the virus.

As per a preliminary report, several western countries may follow the step taken by the Australian government, though they are not likely to try what exactly the Australian government has done.

China has geared up their system to its maximum potential. The affected region has almost been quarantined completely.

As per a local report, in some regions in the country, the local people have even set up their own check posts to prevent the entry of the affected people into their territories, in addition to the strict mechanism installed by the Chinese government to detect the affected people.

The present disease outbreak is similar to the one happened with the outbreak of SARS in the country.

China with an advanced medical infrastructure is capable to handle any situation like the present outbreak. It is expected that the country will contain the disease soon.

By 1119 0

The victims of the Nazi invasion and several world leaders have gathered in Auschwitz to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the prisons from the deathly concentration camp set up by the Nazi and its collaborators in the Polish city.

In a function organised to mark the 75th anniversary, French President Emanuel Macron has expressed his concern about the re-emergence of the anti-Semitism in the west.

He has called the re-emergence as the problem of the Europe. And, he has denounced the projection of the issue as the concern of the Jewish community alone.

He has remembered those who were deported from his country to the death camp located in Poland.

Several Nazi camp survivors from across the world have attended the function. Some of them have shared how horrific their experience in the camp was.

The once known by the name ‘Auschwitz Concentration Camp is the most brutal death camp run by the Nazi and its collaborators in the European country of Poland.

Around 1.1 million people, mostly Jews, were killed in the death camp. Notably, there were only around 1.3 million people in the camp.

The said figure clearly shows how horrific the life in the camp was.

Italy: PD retains stronghold

By 1143 0

The effort of the Northern League, which recently stepped out from the Italian coalition government, to undo the dominance of the PD, which replaced the vacuum created by the League’s exist, over Emilia-Romagna, which the centre-left party is in a dominant position since the Second World War, has failed as the rightist party has performed far less than what it expected it would in the latest regional election.

As per a latest report, the centre-left PD has gained a slight edge over the far rightist Northern League.

The proposed victory is a great relief to the PD, which is the member of the coalition government along with the populist Five Star Movement.

What the projected victory derails is the plan of the far rightist to destabilise the present government.

The exit of the Northern League from the coalition government led by the Five Star Movement is considered as a historic blunder from the part of League leader Matteo Salvini.

The departure is used by many to project the firebrand rightist as a person who is not dedicated to act what he talks.

The development is expected to strengthen the present coalition government further. At present, the political implication of this development remains vague.

Finally, mistake admitted by Dutch

By 1191 0

The Dutch government has admitted its failure to protect the Jewish community during the Nazi invasion of the country.

This is the first time the government has admitted the mistake they committed by the country during the period of the Second World War.

The government has also apologised to the community in connection with this matter.

More than 75 per cent of the total population of the community prior to the Holocaust were brutally murdered during the period of the Nazi invasion.

At the time of invasion, the Jewish population of the country was around 1,40,000. It was reduced to less than 40,000 by the invasion.

The apology was a long standing demand of the Jewish community. It is felt as if the community has been served justice finally.

The period of the Second World War was a period of terror. At that time, the Nazi Germany was in an aggressive mode. It occupied several of its neighbouring countries. The suppression of the Jewish community was one of their main political agenda. They used concentration camps for the actualisation of their main political agenda. During this period, more than six million Jews were brutally murdered.

Putin’s grip over Russia not to be loosen anytime soon

By 1083 0

Since the disintegration of erstwhile Soviet Union, Russia is under the tight grip of Vladimir Putin – the dictatorial leader who knows little nothing about the need to tolerate dissent.

Mr. Putin treats Russia as his property. He has successfully brought the entire country under his direct control, breaking the backbone of all who has stood against his aggressive triumph. He is fearless, intolerant and also merciless. For him, any attack against his politics is an attack against his country, Russia.

Lately, he has brought in some interesting changes to the country. He has made the Russian government resign and injected more powers into the country’s lawmaking house. In addition, he has strengthened the Russia council – which is the body of Russian governors.

Though the measures sound impressive, when these are observed closely it is seen that the President’s ambition to sustain his control over his country is what that sits beneath his new plans.

Putin’s Russia faces many challenges at this moment – in the economical as well as in the military front.

Russia needs to find an urgent solution to its stagnated growth. The European country can no longer turn its back on the criticism raised against the country – from inside as well as from outside.

French Prez scolds Israel police

By 1032 0

French President Emanuel Macron has scolded the Israel police as they have provocatively accompanied the President to a church, which falls under the French territory.

The church, situated in Israel, was gifted to the Ottoman Empire to France for the latter’s support in a war.

The action resembles the one happened during the visit of former French President Jacques Chirac. During the visit of Mr. Chirac in the year 1996, the Israel police provocatively shoved the Palestinians, journalists and his aides who accompanied him to the church.

Then, in order to deescalate the tension, the Israel government apologised to the French government, saying that their intention was to protect a friend.

The Israel government has not yet responded to the latest incident.

Mr. Macron is in Palestine to attend a function hosted by a Jewish organisation to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.

At this moment, it remains unclear whether the incident will affect the relation between Israel and France.

It is a well-known truth that Israel aims to establish its dominance over the entire of Jerusalem.

It is yet to be ascertained whether the action of the Israel police has anything to do with the said mindset of the country.

French history book links 9/11 to CIA

By 1154 0

A French book linked the infamous 11 September 2001 terrorist attack on the United States to the Central Intelligence Agency, the intelligence agency controlled by the US federal government.

The publisher has later apologised for his mistake. The publisher has admitted the phrase that links the CIA to the 9/11 as a mistake.

The phrase is going viral in social media. It has come to the attention of the public after it was pointed out by certain school teachers based in the country.

The theory that links the Central Intelligence Agency to the 9/11 attack is a debunked conspiracy theory.

The book is supposed to be learned by undergraduates. The publisher is yet to explain how such a serious error occurred in the book.

The US has not yet formally commended about the issue. The CIA is likely to strongly denounce the phrase appeared in the French history textbook. Definitely, for an agency like the CIA which dedicatedly works for the betterment of the US, what was appeared in the textbook is a humiliating phrase.

At this moment, it remains unclear whether the publisher will take any step to remove the books which carry the wrong phrase entirely from the market. A strong demand is likely to rise from the US towards that direction.
